What if TFP Starscream faked his death during the War, to join the Autobots as a ‘different’ person + finally escape Megatron?... What if Optimus/Ratchet helped Star, by Optimus pretending to ‘destroy’ Star with Megatron watching + Ratchet gives Starscream a different body/face afterwards... Would anyone in the Decepticons miss the ‘Dead’ Starscream? 💖💔
Ooh! Interesting ^^! Thank you for your request sweety anon X3!
~~~
"I need your help."
When Optimus heard that phrase, coming from a robot he had long considered an enemy, he really didn't know how to react. On the one hand, he was suspicious. He knew the one in front of him very well, he knew what he was capable of, he knew his guile. But, on the other hand, the desperate gaze of his so-called enemy was clearly crying out for help.
Ratchet gave the Prime an uncertain look, but the Prime didn't look at him once. He was still focused on the robot in front of him, body tense and defensive, even though his "enemy" looked downcast and defenseless.
"In what do you need our help, Starscream?" the Autobot leader asked.
The Seeker looked away for a moment, as the fine rain of acid that poured over the buildings of once resplendent Iacon seemed to crash violently on his sagging shoulders.
“You can't be serious! Optimus!" Ratchet exclaimed in shock.
Optimus looked at his friend for a moment, making it clear that he was very serious. The jet had come this far knowing the risks of venturing into enemy territory. His request for help was surely not a plot, the flyer would never have put himself in so much danger for that. Starscream looked away, and the doctor frowned, before exclaiming:
“What are you waiting for to explain your coming?!"
The Seeker looked at the duo with low wings, and ended up answering:
“Vos… was destroyed by the Decepticons…”
Optimus and Ratchet's optics widened in shock at hearing this, and the ambulance sputtered in disbelief:
“But… why did you join them then?!
- I didn't know it was them! cried out the jet, fists clenched. Megatron made me believe it was you!"
He ventilated quickly, then his anger was replaced by grief, as he repeated:
"I didn't know it was them… I didn't know…"
Prime was silent for a while, before asking:
“What do you expect from us? How can we help you?
- It's not really me that I want you to help… answered the flyer.
- What do you mean in this case? Ratchet asked.
- I want you to help my people…
- Your people?
- Yes… "
Starscream knelt in front of the two Autobots, and said:
"I don't come here as Commander of the Decepticons, but as Winglord..."
Ratchet and Optimus had a movement of surprise on hearing this declaration, while the Seeker continued:
“I beg of you, protect my people from Megatron… Help them become Neutral, and escape from this cursed planet… I don't want any more of them involved in this war…”
The leader of the Autobots remained silent for a long time, the rain being the only thing audible, as it now seemed to crash violently around them. The sky was crying with the robot pleading in front of them…
"Why don't you include yourself? Optimus finally asked.
- It's too late for me… answered the jet.
- We can help you too.
- If I leave, Megatron will go in pursuit of me and therefore that of my people… On the other hand, if I stay, I know that I will have the guarantee that they will be safe…
- Why would he want to get you back so badly? Ratchet asked.
- I have something that is necessary for him…
- It's not your people?
- Heh… no… You can imagine that if it had that, he would never have destroyed Vos in the first place… And then, anyway…
- … He doesn't know your title… Optimus understood.
- No… indeed…
- But, what is this thing that prevents you from running away?
- Energon…”
The Autobot leader and the doctor shared a look of confusion, but also a strange understanding.
"You're the only one capable of finding energon, right? Prime assumed.
- No."
The Winglord pierced his hand with his claws, energon flowing slowly and mixing with acid tears from the sky. He held his palm out to the clouds, and the energon began to crystallize, eventually becoming a crystal of pure energon, shimmering with such splendor it could rival the healthiest energon produced by Cybertron!
“I am capable of creating it…” the Seeker finally said.
The jet put the crystal next to him, on the ground, before declaring:
"I can't afford to leave... it would put my people in danger...
- Who knows about your power, apart from Megatron? Optimus asked.
- Nobody… Apart from him, nobody… at least, so far… I also suspect Shockwave and Soundwave to know it, but at the same time these two are particularly insightful…
- …You really have no chance of running away…?
- … My only freedom will be in death…”
Starscream looked at the ground, and said nothing more. Prime frowned, and stepped forward into the rain, before laying a warm hand on the shoulder of this king who had had the courage to put his own life on the line for his people. He gently raised the Seeker, and said:
“We will help your people."
The jet lifted his wings, and smiled clearly in relief at the Autobot leader's statement.
“But not just them. added Optimus.
- What? asked the flyer in confusion.
- We'll help you too.
- It's... it's impossible...
- I can't agree to leave you in the side that destroyed your City… I have a plan, so please let me help you…”
Starscream smiled bitterly and sadly, and replied:
"I don't think that's possible, Prime… not without putting you in danger… If Megatron learns that I'm with you, or that you even helped me…
- …
- Anyway, I intend to end the reign of Megatron… See this as my way to repay my debt to you…
- It's too dangerous…! Ratchet objected.
- My people will come to you in two solar cycles… I would have had time to prepare their escape…”
The Seeker pulled away from Optimus, and gave the two Autobots one last look, his optics glowing gratefully, before transforming into his alternate mode, and flying away. The doctor approached his friend and asked:
"Do you really have a way to save him?
- Yes. Prime affirmed. And I have no intention of abandoning this idea. And for that, I'm going to need your help and Wheeljack's.
- How so?
- … At the next battle, I will kill Starscream!"
~
During the new battle, Starscream was not there, nor were any other Vossians. His people had been able to escape safely with the help of the Autobots, although they were at first very reluctant to leave their Winglord behind. One of the Seekers, by the name of Slipstream, explained that she was worried about her leader, as Megatron had been violent with him before, and she feared that their departure would cause problems for Starscream.
Optimus quickly realized that Slipstream's fear must have been legitimate, as he didn't see the silver Seeker for a very long time... And even after that, the jet rarely appeared in Decepticon missions, unless it involved energon... Prime had to postpone his plan several times, and he wondered if he could ever carry it out… Then that day came, during a great battle between the Decepticons and the Autobots.
Not a single Seeker was left in the sky, having all been replaced by Shockwave's new creation: the Eradicons. Starscream was near Megatron, when he saw Optimus rushing towards them! The leader of the Decepticons quickly spotted his foe, and blasted him with his cannon! Prime dodged all the attacks, and drew his sword, determined to fight!
The Autobot leader kicked the ex-gladiator hard in the plexus, and the Seeker's optics widened in shock when he felt a searing pain shoot through his entire chassis! The jet was propelled out of the ground, after being violently torn apart by Optimus' sword, energon flying around him, and he crashed into the metallic dust!
Soundwave saw this from afar, and Laserbeak let out a horrified little squeal, while Ravage couldn't get a sound out. Frenzy put a hand to his mouth suppressing a scream, as Rumble's optics widened in shock behind his visor.
KnockOut and Breakdown stopped in battle as the bewilderment had completely taken over. Most of the Decepticons stopped, but not only, the Autobots also couldn't hide their surprise at the action of the Prime, when he had preferred to kill the Commander rather than the leader of their enemies.
Megatron was frozen in place, as he couldn't take his eyes off Starscream's now colorless body, his armor only painted of a too bright blue. His stupor didn't last long, being quickly replaced by pure rage towards Optimus! He yelled in anger, and the leader of the Autobots barely had time to dodge his enemy's attacks, which became more and more lively and unpredictable!
Prime took a hard punch in the jaw, which was strong enough to break his mouth mask. Just then, a ground bridge opened up behind the Autobot leader, who came to his senses quickly enough to cross it, along with the Seeker's corpse. It was time to retreat, and the other Autobots soon left as well, leaving the Decepticons behind.
Soundwave hesitantly approached his friend, then put a comforting hand on his shoulder. Megatron didn't look at him, keeping his gaze on the now missing portal. KnockOut and Breakdown didn't say anything, even the doctor couldn't think of anything to say. Airachnid moved closer, seeing no reason to be mocking at the situation. She frowned, then said:
"He can't be dead.
- …How can you be so sure…? growled the leader of the Decepticons.
- It's Starscream, he can't die so easily.
- < Affirmative! > confirmed Soundwave.
- Yeah! In addition, there is something that bothers me... added Frenzy.
- < What? >
- Why would Optimus have taken his body if he was really dead!
- ……… < Possibility > < the Autobots > < have > < pretended > < that he > < was > < dead > < for > < that we > < didn't > < search for > < him > < . >
- It's a good technique. confirmed Airachnid. That way they can question him about our tactics and our weaknesses, without us trying to get him back. It's more like us to do that usually, but it seems that they have finally decided to enter the big leagues.
- I don't care about the reason…! hissed Megatron.
- …
- If there is a possibility that he is alive, then we will take it! »
~
The blinding light in front of his optics caused him to put an arm out in front of him, but even then it all seemed too bright… It clearly didn't look like the Nemesis… It was when that Starscream realized he was in a totally unknown place, and his Spark compressed in anguish at the thought!
He quickly sat down on the medical table he was originally lying on, as the memories of the battle came back in his mind! He put a hand on his chassis, and saw that he had absolutely no injuries, not even a scratch. The large gash he should have originally had on his chassis was simply non-existent, causing him to fear at one point that he had in fact joined the All-Spark.
“Oh! You're awake." said a voice.
The Seeker turned to see Ratchet, and his confusion and fear must have shown on his face, as the doctor reassured:
"It's okay, you're in no danger.
- What… what happened…? spluttered the jet.
- We faked your death. Optimus replied, stepping into the medical bay.
- Eh…? What? But how…?
- Thanks to a hologram, and an energon prod hidden in Optimus' sword. explained the ambulance.
- So… this pain that I felt…
- Sorry, it was the only way I found to put you unconscious. the leader of the Autobots apologized. The hologram then simulated your injury and loss of color.
- Why did you do that…?"
The flyer's expression was full of confusion and incomprehension, as he couldn't see the interest this brought to the Autobots... Ah... maybe they wanted him to create energon for them… that was surely that…
“We're going to change your appearance and your name, thanks to the new body that I created. Ratchet said. Thus, you will be able to join your people without fear that Megatron will seek you.
- You are serious?! Starscream wondered.
- Yes!
- You said the only way you could be free was by dying. Prime said. Freedom is before you now, Starscream.
- New body, new identity, new life."
The Seeker really didn't know what to say… He knew the thing he should do would be to thank them, but he was too afraid to cry if he tried to speak… The jet lowered his head, and finally had the strength to respond:
"Thank you… I don't really know why you're so keen on helping me… but thank you…
- It wasn't right to leave you with the Decepticons… And it wouldn't have been right either to force you to join us. Optimus said softly.
- …
- On the other hand, I want to tell you that we are simply offering you something, you can as well refuse. I know you probably want to kill Megatron for the death of Vos, but-
- That, I will do in your camp."
This time it was the leader of the Autobots who looked surprised. He looked at the flyer, who had high wings and a determined look. Starscream frowned, and said:
“I have to do justice to Vos.
- Revenge is not… Prime answered.
- I cannot allow myself to return to my people, without at least having rendered justice to their deceased…
- …
- It's not revenge, Prime. I thought of that first, it's true. But, I'd rather join your battle against the Decepticons and Megatron, than try to commit murder on my side...
- You have much more nobility than I thought.
- Nobility seemed to be a defect in my former camp…
- …
- I ask you, Optimus, let me rally to your cause. I finally understood that you too were against this rusty system that was the Castes. Your ideology is the same, but it seems that your conflict comes from somewhere else.
- … Unfortunately, yes…
- Whatever… it doesn't concern me… I just don't want the Decepticons, Megatron, to wreak even more destruction, like they did with my home… That's why I'm asking you, Prime, let me join you.
- I have no say, Starscream. It's up to you. And if that's what you want, I can't refuse."
The Seeker smiled softly, then finally answered:
"Nightsky.
- Sorry?
- Nightsky is now my name."
~
It was during a patrol that two Vehicons found the lifeless and mutilated body of their Commander, near a river of light acid. They had wasted no time in bringing him back to their leader, and it was impossible to tell if Megatron was then mad with rage or grief.
Soundwave stayed a little away from the others, with his minicons, and said nothing more… Maybe he could have found Starscream more quickly… Maybe he had missed something… In fact, he had underestimated the Autobots, and had never suspected that they were capable of such barbarism…
Breakdown stayed with KnockOut all this time, who couldn't take his eyes off the Seeker's mutilated body… There was no doubt about his death… The mutilations and beatings could have been fix but… his spark chamber was a huge chasm now… it was over…
Shockwave doesn't say a word about it, but it was known that he never really liked Starscream. In addition, even if the emotionless robot would have had potential grief, it would have been impossible for him to show it.
Most of the Decepticons were, in fact, genuinely horrified, for this was the first time they had faced such cruelty from the Autobots… It was never their style to do this to a robot, and yet, they had clear proof that they had been wrong about their enemies…
Megatron had destroyed everything in the main hall, not a single machine was standing. This time, when he sees Optimus again, he will kill him, without hesitation! He was too lenient towards him, whereas the possibility of seeing Orion again had always held him back. This time, he wouldn't make that mistake! When he sees his enemy again, he will kill him! He'll kill him like he killed Starscream!
~
Ratchet stood next to Starscream, well, Nightsky now, and asked:
“Do you feel ready to meet the others?
- Yes, I'm fine. answered the tricolor jet.
- And especially-
- I won't tell anyone who I am. Primus! Trust me a little!
- I know you're the type to talk a lot, that's why. I just prefer to be sure.
- Yeeees."
Starscream's new form was still that of a jet, for the doctor knew very well that the Seeker's Spark would always be called skyward, that was inevitable.
“… You know, I don't think it was necessary to return your mutilated former body to the Decepticons. Ratchet said.
- Yes, it was. You weren't thorough enough to fake my death. It was necessary to make them understand that my death was real. Most of them are insightful, I told you that before.
- …
- But, don't you miss your old body?
- It's not my name and my body that identify me. I know who I am, my Spark is the essence of me, I don't need anything else to define me."
The doctor smiled at the jet, which was now entirely white, with shades of blue and red. He still had a slim figure, even if there were some differences with his original body. His wings were split in four like that of a butterfly. His larger wings pointed skyward, while the smaller ones were lower, and pointed toward the ground. His helmet was slightly more pointed, and his red horn a little smaller. Beneath his optics, now blue, he had three thin, pointed black lines, the longest of which was in the center.
Optimus seemed to be done with his speech to the others, regarding the new recruit. Now was the time for Nightsky to exist for good. The jet smiled confidently, and opened the door that would lead him to a new existence. He presented himself in front of those who were to be his future teammates, and declared, wings high:
“I'm Nightsky! Nice to meet you !"

Okay so retcon on MegOp + Wave Husbands polycule au
StarOp + Wave Husbands would be more interesting here because what if it's everyone against a mad Megatron because he had ideas but burnt them to the ground once he started Satan's acid
Optimus and Starscream have been crossing paths together alot which Optimus uses to his advantage of making PEACE with Starscream and starting a mutual understanding of how they can end the war once and for all (cus he's aware of Starscream's intelligence and the pain he's suffered despite his plans working to full success at times)
Starscream admires Optimus and considers him a suitable connection to gain aid from while having command over someone (Optimus let's him think that cus he doesn't really care about who's in charge of who in their partnership so long as it's respect is maintained)
Wave Husband's it's still iffy but like,
Once Shockwave is on the ship and seeks mutual gain from Soundwave and the two converse about Cybertorn, Soundwave should be waking up from his loyalty stasis to apply sense to the situation
So Soundwave would be against Megatron now and Shockwave just wants the planet alive again, so logic dictates that perhaps cooperation with the Autobots on an aligned goal will provide a quicker means to helping Cybertron
But then how do they get rid of Megatron @_@
Should we sacrifice the Matrix???? Its done nothing but try to take Optimus to robot heaven....
—💃🏾anon
I've never seen dark energon described as Satan's Acid before lol
That's gotta turn out interesting!!
A thing I've seen in fics is "Soundwave was loyal to Megatronus, but not necessarily Megatron" which goes along with what you said about the good ideas part, aus where Soundwave turns against Megatron are always fascinating
What are they planning to do with the Matrix, and would it work (considering how we know the matrix works? ??)
#i personally don't ship StarOp very much but I've got nothing against it whatsoever#and this is a fascinating situation#especially since SHOCKWAVE is also against Megs here. tfp Shockers and Soundwave are always quoted as being super loyal#it makes you ask ''what did Megs do to turn them against him?''#and he has done. a lot in canon#I'm sitting here trying fo figure out HOW the matrix could be used as a weapon because I'm drawing up blanks#oh you could use it as a lure yes yes or even do a bait and switch with a fake that IS a weapon#maccadam#transformers#💃🏾 anon#tfp megatron#tfp optimus prime#tfp shockwave#tfp soundwave#wavewave#starop

Maybe this is a hot take but I’m always a bit disappointed when people read the part about Orion Pax lamenting about Six Lasers and not being allowed inside as only a 'haha' moment and use this to paint him as privileged and out of touch, and completely gloss over the fact that he’s openly talking about an arbitrary form of segregation he is beholden to.
Like this is a genuine plea: I would really like to encourage you all to approach the Aligned Continuity - the novels, the games, TFP and Covenant - all as parts of one big story and read about them, at least a basic summary, all in some capacity. Transformers Prime is only one part of a bigger story and its the one that deviated the most and I think if you engage with all the material with an open mind and DON'T import any ideas from IDW or other continuities, what you will get is a story that is distinct and tragic and rooted in Cybertronians being a colonized people and how they deal with the repercussions afterwards.
And listen, colonization, imperialism and slavery are in the fabric of Science Fiction: most stories you engage with in Sci-Fi, especially older ones, have elements of this and its not always progressive. I think its become so codified that people will gloss over it and not think about what that means. But I really want to encourage you to read the Aligned Continuity through a non-Americanized lens, and really think about whats going on. Because this isn't new to Transformers, but we rarely ever see them on other end, and I personally believe that their societal issues being rooted in Quintesson ideas is important. I think that their world slowly losing energon and stagnating and on the precipice of self-destruction is important.
And I want you to think about this, and this language, and the actions they take as a previously non-ultra violent race into who they become during their war, and think about which characters choose to perpetuate that same colonial violence. And I also want you to acknowledge that no one in Aligned is SO privileged that they were somehow untouched by any form of violence, there is NO ONE in this universe who doesn't, at the very base of their character, understand that something is wrong and that their collective choice to not face that trauma head on is a big part of that. That the layers of shedding those held ideas is a difficult and ugly process.
And I want you to think of the parable of the War of the Primes and how Alpha Trion laments that in the end, the notion that any Prime is somehow 'eviler' because of some arbitrary belief that some of them were 'closer in spark' to Unicron was, in fact, wrong, and that truthfully ALL the Primes had been traumatized by Unicron but they allowed themselves to become divided and didn't communicate their growing anxiety and apathy and rage and it resulted in all of them participating in some form towards their tragic downfall. And I want you to think about Cybertron and the Quintessons and the war they have later on
#transformers#maccadam#tfp#aligned continuity#transformers prime#media analysis#I know I sound petty but I dont like IDW and TFP being seen as interchangeable outside of a definite AU because people only ever import lik#the worst ideas like empurata or fannon like slave coding and its like#there already IS That in ALigned: its just either done by Quintessons or Decepticons down the line#I think you need to really think about the fact that Megatron was given a fake matrix and a group of people#And rather than set them free he jumped to using that new influence to turn them to attack the autobots#THINK ABOUT THAT PLEASE#and think about why you treat the matrix as you do when it and Primus have been repeatedly VIOLATED and why you think its evil and scary#please Im begging you to try and view Aligned through a nonwhite and non american lens#i will hold your hand through this. lets take ibuprofen together#chass blabs#long post

Actually No Yeah the Nemesis and the autobot base need deep cleanings, because one is an ancient ship that is / used to be a titan, and the other is an abandoned missile silo shoved into a mountain.
Especially since with a war going on nobody would have the time to actually commit to it, and a lot of mecha would have a hard time really getting into the tiny spaces. It's not the main corridors, quarters, or medbays I'm concerned about, but all the rarely used rooms and equipment.
#tfp au#maccadam#transformers#also because I'd think it'd be funny#lotsa throwing bubbles and soggy rags at each other#me writing this up as if I'm any good at this#a mech can dream y'know#and this hits harder when I remind us in the tfp au the autobot base is larger than it is in canon because i say so#also ☆finding weird and funny stuff in boxes☆#and also exploring long abandoned quarters and belongings of offlined mecha (or in the case of the autobot base humans)#aaaand I'm imagining someone absolutely going nuts laughing because they found the most gaudy fake spike in the world#''how does that even fit?'' ''maybe it was astrotrain's?'' ''hey i wonder if we should give it to Megatron'' ''nO OMG NOOOO DON'T😭''

Only one guy on here has two eyes, and even then, they're fake eyes. It's big-tits-McGee, Mr. logic man extraordinaire, Geneva Suggestion Believer himself: Shockwave! Yep, all 12 of him, a reasonable amount of alternates to have, unlike some people... Shockwave Height Chart, everyone, fuckin wee.
Quick Disclaimer, if any of the images look weird, it's because I had to stitch a few separate images together to create a full body shot of the character.
Here are links to my Bumblebee Chart, my Optimus Chart, my Megatron Chart, and my Soundwave Chart. Please go gawk at how many Optimus designs there are, sweet fuck, there are so many. For future reference, all these charts will be filed under my "Transformers Height Charts" tag and my "aka the adventures of a..." tag.
Explanations and Sources below the cut.
Unicron Trilogy Energon - ~14 feet 3 inches (No actual source, and Energon doesn't have any listed heights anywhere. For the uneducated, the Unicron Trilogy has given each of its 3 seasons separate names and 3 separate art styles. This is the design used in Energon (S2) though he only shows up in Energon. I was able to compare him to Optimus, and using Cybertron's listed heights, I got this number. I am in physical pain, it does not get better from here. Hilarious side note, his Japanese name is Laserwave, which contains the missing "wave" of Shockwave in this iteration's name.)
Earth Spark - ~15 feet (No actual source for ES, but using a barn door to get Bumblebee's height, then Optimus's, then Megatron's height, I was able to make a guess at Shockwave's. Shockwave comes up to about Megatron's chin; I lost the screenshot I used. It's so convoluted, I know, but it's all I have, also, tiny universe, everyone is so small)
TFA Longarm/V1 - 15 feet 2 inches (Animated has no actual numbers, but the lovely @phoenix-inanis has provided a frankly astounding resource with their own calculations for the heights of all the TFA characters. Go look at it, it's wonderful -> https://phoenix-inanis.notion.site/TFA-Height-Chart-f6ad2960ca8c4c5b859ee4958723aaa4?pvs=4)
Gen 1 - ~18 feet (TFWiki, uuuuh I've got nothing to add)
Netflix Cybertron Trilogy - ~18 feet (I have no source for this, other than assuming that because this design is identical to Gen 1, they are the same height. That's it, really)
Knight/Capel-Verse - ~18 feet (No source, and he never stands next to anyone I can measure him against, but because the TFOne director has said that this movie is both canon to the LA movies and its own separate canon, I am assuming the height I figured out for TFOne applies to this universe as well. Until proven otherwise. Capel directed the ROTB movie if you're wondering why his name is there)
One - ~18 feet (No source, I got this number by comparing him to Optimus. Now, I am aware of the TFO heights listed on the wiki, but I reject those numbers on principal. A: Those numbers are sourced from the Walmart Promotional AR Experience that came out before the movie. B: There are three decimal points, and that number does not convert into a whole number in meters (which is originally what I thought was weird about it). C: The director has said that this movie is both canon to the LA movies and its own separate canon, so I have elected to use the few given heights we have from KCV and worked from there. My Optimus post has slightly more context if you want it)
Cyberverse - 20 feet (This comes from a screenshot of this video which has the Cyberverse height chart everyone uses, though the quality of the screenshot is iffy.)
Aligned Cont. WF/FOC/TFP - 26 feet 2 inches (This number comes from Fandom and I completely believe it, even if they don't list their source, because the entirety of this universe is freakishly tall. Go look at my other charts, all the ALC designs are monstrous compared to the others)
TFA V2 - 29 feet 11 inches (Once again, phoenix-inanis did a fuck ton of work, go look at it, it's wonderful -> https://phoenix-inanis.notion.site/TFA-Height-Chart-f6ad2960ca8c4c5b859ee4958723aaa4?pvs=4)
Bayverse - ~30 feet (Ok, so I don't have a source for this one. There used to be one, BV Shockwave used to be listed as 40 feet tall bc of an article done to promote the movie, but that is no longer listed for reasons not known to me, and making some comparisons to Optimus, I have found them to be kinda close in height. It's very hard to actually validate any of this. Shockwave never stands normally next to anything I can use as a ruler at any point in the movie. He's always at a dramatic angle or partially covered by something in the shot. It's so violently frustrating. I am confident he is around this height though, I just can't figure out how much taller than Optimus he is)
And that's it. I didn't have to leave any designs out, all of them are included here (hopefully). It was so nice to work with a character where I wasn't drowning in 20+ designs across every goddamn universe.
