My June headcanon is that her mother was a special agent and had "died" in an accident but she actually just went to work on some mission as she specialised in undercover work.

Also that she got with June's dad just to discourage him from investigating missing people cases related to government activities because he was getting too close to the truth (it worked 😔)

just imagine like humanoid transformers and one day wheeljack has this almost dress looking thing on and miko's like "dude why are you wearing a dress?"

and he just looks at her like it's the most shocking thing he's ever heard and then raf says "well here on earth, girls and women mostly wear dresses"

and then ratchet laughs from across the room and yells "PIECES OF FABRIC DO NOT HAVE GENDERS ARE YOU KIDDING ME"

[TFP Perceptor is a mass shifter in both root and alt mode, he can go as tiny as an actual microscope and fitting in someone's car seat to maybe a bit larger/taller than Optimus Prime but not by much.]

tfp headcanon where optimus brings the autobots fishing and it is a DISAStER

bulkhead keeps breaking all the fishing poles (ratchet yelling at him everytime because !!! BULkHEAD WE NEEDED THAT!!!!!)

bumblebee and smokescreen just throwing all the bait into the water because they don't' understand the concept of fishing

arcee finally catches a fish because she is the only dependable one in the sea of losers

optimus looks at the fish trashing around and makes a ' :^( ' face because he feels sad for the poor fish

arcee feels guilty and lets the fish go

nothing is accomplished taht day

Alignments

Not based off/related to TF:A zodiac

Most every Transformer fan knows at least a little about the Thirteen and their role in the creation of the Transformers world. Over my reading and observation of TF:P, I’ve formulated a theory regarding the Thirteen and their continued influence on the race. This idea came around from reading Exiles and Exodus; the detail that made it click was the mention of Makeshift being the “offspring of Amalgamous Prime.” Obviously, in canon it is highly unlikely that anyone is going to be direct descendants seeing as sparks are born from the well. After stopping and asking myself what this means, I came up with the Alignment theory.

What’s an Alignment? It means that every spark is born under one of thirteen ‘signs.’ It is similar to the idea of star signs; however, the qualities of a spark have more to do with determining their Alignment than what time of year they’re born. However, the concept of Alignments is considered old hat by most Cybertronians and a fair bunch see it as nothing more than superstition (just like the Thirteen). Because of this, few ever bother to go on the deeply personal journey to discover their Alignment.

Each of the thirteen Alignments is tied to one of the Thirteen. For example, a gestalt would align with Nexus Prime (the first gestalt ever to exist). This would make them the “offspring of Nexus Prime” even though there is obviously no direct line of descent.

Some more superstitious Cybertronians believe that Alignments can be used to predict the course a life will take. They believe that the life of a mecha with a certain Alignment will echo and mirror the Thirteen they are tied to. However, most Cybertronians view this point unfavorably for obvious reasons. It makes them feel boxed in, as if destiny is set and immutable. On the less extreme end, some Cybertronians believe an Alignment means the mecha will simply share a few key personality traits with their sign.

Not everyone determines their Alignment or fits into one clearly. That does not necessarily mean they don’t have one, but that things are simply complex by nature. Unlike star signs, Cybertronians are not tied to a certain Alignment their whole lives. If their personality shifts, they can fall into a new one and many are in a transitory state between two different Alignments.

The Thirteen Alignments are:

Prima - One of the rarest alignments, only moral exemplars of the Cybertronian species ever achieve this. Ex. Optimus Prime Alpha Trion - Not nearly as rare as Prima, this alignment is usually the domain of scholars and thinkers. Warriors are few and rare among this alignment. Ex. Orion Pax Solus Prime - One has to be careful not to lump all femmes into this grouping. As a weaponsmith and creator, this is the alignment that dedicate themselves to the arts of warfare: weaponsmiths and warriors being good examples. Ex. Arcee (as a warrior, she fits well. I’m not putting her there just because she’s a femme). Amalgamous Prime - How rare this alignment is is undetermined. They are the shadows of their people, the ones who sneak, spin, plot, and become invisible. Most all are shifters. Ex. Makeshift Alchemist Prime - This is the alignment of the artisan, the crastman, and the general citizen. Surprisingly enough, it has become rather rare among the Cybertronians. Most did not survive the war because they are dedicated to upholding the civilization. When it collapsed, they toppled with it. Ex. (Difficult to come by, as most ‘general citizens’ did not survive the war or were named in the series. Most all are soldiers). Leige Maximo - This is the alignment of the sneaks, the thieves, and the darker side of the Cybertrionian race. They have a tendency not be be as invisible or withdrawn as the children of Amalagamous. Actually, this is a very common alignment (even if few are willing to admit they fall there). Ex. Knockout Megatronus - This is an alignment of pure raw power and will. It is as rare as Prima, and people who fall into it are as likely to grab power as a child of Prima. However, they all have an inherent darkness inside themselves they need to fight. Ex. Sentinel Prime, Megatron Nexus Prime - The alignment of combiners, because of how undeveloped the science of gestalts is they also have a tendency towards damaged, shifting minds. Ex. Bruticus Onyx - This is the wild alignment, compromised mostly of predacons and insecticons. Peope in this alignment can be particularly fierce, but many also have a certain dignity that is hard to deny. Ex. Predaking, Hardshell Quintus Prime - The tinkerers, the scientists, and creators tend to fall heavily in this alignment. Warriors are not nearly as rare in this alignment as in Trion’s. A person with this alignment tends to be more inward-looking and hyperfocused on their work than the outward-looking, moralistic individuals of Alpha Trion. Ex. Perceptor Vector Prime - People in this alignment tend to be the law-enforcers. They can see the world in black-and-white terms, along with being inflexible in their beliefs. Ex. Prowl Micronus - This is the domain of the minicon. Personality can vary widely, but many are surprisingly strong individuals. This alignment faces some of the worst discrimination of them all, and to survive as one takes quite a bit of effort; strangely enough, despite the prejudice that exists against them, they are also some of the most open individuals (many relying upon other frames for their continued survival). Ex. Laserbeak Thirteenth Prime - This mysterious alignment is perhaps the most shadowy of them all. No one knows if anyone has ever achieved it or what exactly it entails. However, many superstitious Cybertronians believe it is even more rare than Prima. They believe that the one who achieves it will be the one who finally makes everyone “one” and complete. Many hope this means a period of eternal peace; although, some also believe it means the end of days for their kind. Overall, this is merely my interpretation and you don’t have to agree with where I placed certain people. You can adjust traits as you wish; keep in mind that just because someone might have a certain Alignment doesn’t mean they will have 100 percent of the traits of that. Everyone is unique! But I do hope you guys find this interesting and worth developing or considering.

TFP Headcanon

So I've been thinking about stuff, specifically Soundwave, and I think I've come to a conclusion. I don't think that Soundwave is actually "evil", per se, not in the way that you would consider Starscream or Airachnid or the other Decepticons to be. I think he's just a sort of fanatical follower Megatron.

My main reasoning is that I don't recall him ever hurting anyone except to directly protect Megatron (see: kicking Airachnid's ass in episode 26). He might have fought with someone, and yes, he did kidnap Agent Fowler, but he has never tried to kill someone. Not even the kids, in spite of the fact that he had a perfect opportunity to. They had no protection, no Autobots to cover them. Starscream probably would have. Airachnid definitely would have. Soundwave didn't.

Instead, I think that Soundwave has his own morals. He apparently isn't above kidnapping or doing pretty much anything that he is ordered to do, but if he isn't under orders, he won't kill. I think he's probably a lot more idealistic about Megatron and his plans than the other Decepticons, and that is why he stays so loyal to Megatron alone while the others err on the side of whoever seems most powerful at the time. (Knockout, for example, is willing to side with Starscream while Megatron is in stasis, but once he wakes up, Knockout is totally loyal to Megatron again.) Some, like Starscream and Airachnid, even try to grasp power for themselves. But not Soundwave.
