As someone who gets horny for world building, I was trying to figure out where all the dratchrod babies go

Instead, my mind jumped to an au where the majority of cybertronians are infertile (from war injuries or smth) but due to some shenanigans the crew of the Lost Light got magically healed and they're all volunteering (or being voluntold) to get pregnant to give the rest of cybertron babies

lost light as a breeding facility drives me crazy. do they have a baby quota to fill?.... tbh i do have many and varying headcanons about cybertronian parenting, but since i am first and foremost a strict feral sparklings truther, i would imagine the dratchrod babies are indeed brought to cybertron, since, well, most cybertronians dont know how to raise three litters of dozen feral babies, anyways. i dont think any of it is planned, the lost light just starts sending babies to cybertron and they had to be like Okay well we’ll do something with these.

#valveplug #i do have a little bit of a darker hc that cybertronians are not involved parents whatsoever. not for the first years of the babies’ life #so cybertronian litters are born very large to account for the fact that most of them die in the first centuries of their development #they wander around and et eaten by wild mechanimals. they get eaten by their own siblings. get stuck and die #its not uncommon for either of the parents to crush a sparkling or two while walking or if one wanters into the bed #maybe if a carrier gets very stressed they might just... gulp down a baby...#in a litter of ten to twenty babies only one or two survive long enough to start developing higher brain functions #and this is where the parents start getting involved #here you go. thats my headcanon dump. its not very horny. but you can get creative #dratchrod mechpreg saga
