#thundercracker's just less of one

[devischaotic]

Been getting super into Transformers recently and decided to make up some concepts of my favorite three plane idiots for some stuff me and the bros have been working on. I'm an absolute sucker for the G1, Bayverse, and Prime designs, so this is just me trying to find the right way to stick them all together

[zeropro]

I'm in love with your art, I love how you draw the seekers

Btw do you have any fanfic recs?

Oh thank you! I enjoy drawing them!

Fic Recs? Sure I can pull some up!

The first transformers fic I ever read was Stop Me by Megadoomingir, it's a retelling of TFPrime, but like not a retelling so much as Starscream goes back in time and things happen again.

My favorites are Star Followed Star by Book of the Night Sky (In which Starscream is killed and Sunstorm is cloned to replace him) and Ghostly Touch by Baird Crevan (In which Starscream gets attacked in his apartment)

I also really like This Ship Will Carry Our Bodies Safe To Shore by Postapocolyptic Cryptic. It's short and sad and I keep going back to it.

Kinda funny fun Megastar one is Quarantine by Neveralarch, in which Starscream gets sick and Megatron is forced to take care of him.

The Darkness Within by Balrog Roike is a nice Skyfire one, where Skyfire joins the Decepticons to be with Starscream and Starscream somehow has the worse time of it lol.

Candid by Ceris Malfoy left me pretty hollow.

In Him We Trust by BooLoo2 has fun implications.

Another Deception by Mamzelle Souris sports the Young Seekers AU where a bunch of the Seekers were framed into their adult bodies too early and the Autobots decide to try and rehabilitate them. Ruins by CheerfullyMorbid is an AU of this AU haha. I like the parts with Starscream a lot.

Spoon888 has a lot of fun fics. Endorsed By Starscream is a hilarious one, and I also enjoyed Wing Switch, Aftershock, Giant Killer Slugs, and Stature. At the Cliff Edge and Anything are less comedy but also worth a read.

Im not really into sparkling fics but the Skywarp and Thundercracker scenes in Spoon888's Accidental War Criminal Aquisition are amazing.

It All Started with Paint Spatters by Dark Star of Chaos is really cute, as is Superball by ntldr

Maybe when I'm done with Endings, this can begin by Leximuth is a certain kind of sad.

And just today I read Trine Love After the War by Baird Crevan, which I quite enjoyed.

And not a Starscream fic, but Could Be Worse by Mimkana is a Knock Out Break Down fic set in a prequal Earthspark continuity and Im actually Beta reading that one so def check it out!

Those are my recs! (Im not sharing my NSFW ones lol!)

[revelboo]

skywarp and/or Blitzwing nsfw/link headcanons... Augh please I love your writings sm, you've always feed us w Starscream and Thundercracker content 😔😔😔💞💞💞

Very, very late. Went with TFA Blitz. 18+ mass displaced mech 🌶️ dubcon

Hello Helicopter

TFA Blitzwing x Reader

• Cackling as exhilaration spins him tight, he wants, needs, to celebrate. One less pesky Autobot. The peskiest of them. No more Optimus. Singing to himself as he darts about over the city looking for a reward, a toy. Something to break. And finds one of the tiny organics carrying a bag to put in a bin at the curb. You’ll do. Landing hard enough to knock the human down he grins. “Want to play?”

• Breath catching in your lungs, your mouth falls open as you stare up at the giant monster. When it bends to reach for you, that breaks through the shock. Choking on a scream, you scramble to your feet and run out into the street. Hearing it laughing as you sprint like your life depends on it, heart hammering. “Run, little mouse!” And then it’s right after you, heavy peds thudding on the asphalt. Can see lights coming on in the houses along the street from the noise. Someone will see and help you. They have to.

• Delighted with how easy you are to spook, he lunges and his servos connect with your hip, sending you tumbling to the ground. Crouching, he pins you flat under his servos. Frame shuddering as his personalities momentarily come into conflict over what to do. Squash you like a bug? Dissect you? Play with you? Yes, play. Picking you up, he goes airborne again and hears you scream, looking for a quiet place away from the city. He should get a reward for destroying the Autobot. Finding a field, he lands and bends to drop you. Watching you gasp and run from him as he mass displaces and chases after again.

• A hand seizes the back of your shirt and you yelp as your feet leave the ground. Finding yourself hitting the ground on your back as the monster looms over you, all sharp denta as he grins, a hand splayed on you to keep you still. “Caught you,” he sings, bending forward to drag his glossa against the side of your neck. Gasping, you twist your head away and try to shove him. And the hand lifts. Frantic, you roll onto your belly and scramble to get away. Only to have him seize your ankle and drag you back. Big frame caging yours as his wet glossa slides behind your ear. “Caught you,” he insists, those pointed denta too close to your face. Is he playing with you like a cat with a mouse?

• Lifting his hand, he waits for you to run again so he can knock you down. “What do you want?” You ask and the question surprises him. He wants to play. To destroy. To kill? You cringe back from him, eyes wide as his personalities argue and swap, trying to come to a consensus. You lunge to get out from under him and he pins you again, excitement flickering through him to mix with the confusion about what he wants. Doesn’t even realize he’s released his spike until his servos curl loosely around your little neck and he nearly releases.

• Heart racing as his face swaps over and over, the monster shifts against you and your terror shifts to a mortification when you feel his spike bump against you. Big and scary is apparently horny. Then again, if your option is to be eaten or fucked, you know exactly which one you prefer. He’s shuddering over you, denta bared almost like he’s in pain as his face keeps changing. That hand is still against your throat, but he’s just pinning you as he shakes faintly, not hurting you. Reaching up your own trembling hands, you touch his face and it stops blurring between the three. The face that’s staring down at you is calmer, more alert. Freezing as you cup his cheek. Then blurring again, denta bared.

• Weak, inferior organic. With soft, gentle hands. Warm under him. Not afraid anymore, no fun. Still needing to play. A reward. His toy. Lifting his head away from that touch, because it makes his processor more chaotic even as it calms him. Avoiding those frightened eyes, he tries to figure out your coverings, his big servos too clumsy for little things. Venting uncertainly as you help him, removing them yourself. “Run,” he demands, lifting his hands from you. Frame going taut as you roll onto your hands and knees. Swapping personalities again when he immediately pounces on you. “Mouse!”

• Big warm hands on your hips, dragging you back and flipping you. But something had shifted when you’d cupped his face, for a second his expression was almost frightened. But now he’s all sharp denta and crazy optics again as your hips are lifted and his head ducks. That long glossa sliding against your inner thigh and over you in a wet slide. Leaves and sticks tangling in your hair as you arch in his grip. Those awful denta are way too close to you, but it’s hard to be afraid when he drives his glossa inside you, stroking deep until you’re whimpering as he explores you.

• Those little noises string him tight, prey sounds that make him want to bite as he savors the taste of you. Glossa sliding over you and along your hip. Feeling you shiver at his touch, before he flips you onto your belly. Hands tugging your hips up as he shifts behind you, guiding himself to you. “My toy now,” he growls, hips driving forward. The wet heat of you wrapped around his spike sending him into chaos all over again. Personalities fighting as he ruts against you, and you keep making those lovely sounds of need that confuse his instincts even more.

• Gasping as he moves against you, that big spike stretching you as he thrusts frantically, slows for a handful of deep drives, then ruts against you hard and fast. Growling and talking to himself the entire time he claims you. Arguing with himself it sounds like as his servos flex against your hips. And despite yourself, it feels good. Body heating and responding as he bows over you, glossa sliding over the back of your shoulder and neck. Moving back against him, you chase your own high. Those denta grip your shoulder as he starts driving hard and fast again, tipping you over the edge, lingering fear and need tangling in you. Biting enough to sting as he ruts against you and his massive frame shudders, feeling him release inside you.

Do you have any hc on how the elite trine were as sparklings?

Boy do I >:3

Starscream-

As the youngest of the Winglord’s sparklings he definitely had to find different ways to get what he wanted, it’s where he developed his scheming and sneaky tongue

Often got into fights with his older siblings, the oldest especially

As the youngest, the Winglord(his creator) never really gave him much attention. His sire was probably different in that regard, which Starscream probably hated!

Smug af and didn’t really care much about the title of Winglord in the beginning, fought his siblings for the title out of obligation to tradition

He liked to sneak out to hunt scraplets on his own and definitely bit off more than he could chew a few times

Chewed the hell out of his creator’s servos when he first emerged, bastard from the beginning

Had a strong sense of heroism, it was shoved into the background after his first meeting with the Winglord’s council and it quickly turned from wanting to help outsiders to protecting the flock

Thundercracker-

Was born into a family of trackers, seekers that have a larger radar scans

He was raised to be respectful and polite, it somewhat worked, he’ll at least warn you before socking you in the mouth

When his outlier ability reared, his creator and sire more so backed off, not quite sure how to handle which lead him to not really understanding it himself- rarely he gets too worked up and goes boom

Took a very long time to fly, normaly seekers only take a week or less in human terms, Thundercracker took three, was a very big scare

Had the habit of biting people he didn’t like when he was a sparkling- he bit Starscream a lot after first meeting him

Very picky eater, his aft would not touch a scraplet and it annoyed the pit out of his creator

Fell in love with stories and poetry when he was a sparkling because his sire would read to him before recharge

Skywarp-

Would bite if things did not go his way, didn’t matter what nor who

Had a very loving creator and sire, they spoiled the crap out of him

Struggled with learning, especially when his mapping software and warp drive developed

Enjoyed chasing other seekerlets around because he could just warp in front of them and catch them, was never invited to games of tag

Was NOT good with being yelled at, one volume increase and that little baby would be in TEARS

Nuzzles and cuddles galore, and extreme cuteness aggression, he would get way to uppity and almost squeeze Thundercracker and Starscream a little too hard

Would often sit next to his creator or sire and busy himself with drawing on their pedes/legs, would do it to Thundercracker and Starscream’s chassis and legs as well, the only time he was calm

[yayasvalveplay]

seeker heats mid war...

The agitation. They start acting less coherent. Getting angry over the slight shift of their plating. But they can't take off the armor! They are stuck. Extremely horny for like a week and it gets painful but they don't have time.. releasing that sickly sweet smell that sticks if they choose to nest in a cave or a canyon. Probably causing a bit to think that there's a seeker nearby but it was the results of them staying there for a while

Imagine their sudden recklessness gets them caught? Starscream getting so angry at the seekers that he miscounts how many days they stayed. And they probably go willing because Megatron doesn't care his military is hindered by extreme horniness (lmao). Starscream and the trine lead the small march it takes. To get to wherever the autobots are.

And said autobots are confused... why are they so calm? They're only irritated? What's that smell?

Or tldr. Seekers join the autobots because their heat hit at the worst time and they get taken care of there rather than ignored in the deception ranks

*Me looks at the amount of ships I have grabbed for these seekers alone* Oh, the entire arc/ those that are willing. taking care of the pretty birds needs. Starscream alone had garnered a harem. Bumblebee, Ratchet, Skyfire, and Mirage, along with their mates. Skywarp and Thundercracker getting taken care of by the others who are willing to pop their pannels.

The only one in the Nemisis who isn't happy about the seekers. mostly Starscream leaving, is Soundwave. Image just in the middle of a meeting Soundwave storms out after showing life feed of the seekers getting railed in the communal area. The feed is still showing when Soundwave gets there and JOINS.

Megatron and the rest of the Decepticon cast are just horrified, and no one knows how to turn it off.

[crossleggedonthebarstool]

the nemesis lies in eerie silence after the fall, no one daring to break it and speak the hurt into existence -

the seekers huddle together and even though nobody really liked him that much, grieve - thundercracker and skywarp refuse to vacate his quarters, as if waiting until their fuel reserves are critically low will bring him back - there‘s no note left for any of them, no „blame megatron for this“ or similar squashed into a notepad -

the autobots that were at the scene are seemingly shell shocked, as if the enemy air commander plummeting from his very sky meant more than one less decepticon to fight

and megatron carries on as he always does

except he doesn’t; not really

he doesn’t promote soundwave to second in command

nor does he make any attempt to wrangle his air force back into fighting form

he just stares into nothing on the bridge as if that would make reality any less real

and the nemesis lies still, on the bottom of the ocean, watching; waiting for her most precious seeker to return

[winter really does make the ✨bad✨ feelings soar, sorry to everyone lol]

[what-have-i-unleashed]

something that is fascinating to me that i don't think get explored much afaik in transformers is cross-generation relationships. like these are millions-year-old alien robots with no concept of childhood and also incredibly slow but incredibly traumatizing eras so imagine how fast the great civil war happened. but maybe because their culture is just war this is just a normal thing to them... maybe???

anyway. in my au, i have skywarp be the oldest and from the quintesson era. they are one of the oldest surviving lines of fighter jets and fought against their masters. after the war it was hard to adjust to civilian life so skywarp just... fucked off to somewhere until they got a call from their old buddy shockwave that another war is brewing and maybe they should join in for good old time sake. so skywarp is pretty alienated from modern cybertronian and seeker culture (what the hell is a "seeker" btw??? <- skywarp be like). leaving cybertron for 6 million years does that to a person.

starscream is from the golden age, the peace time. too bad that the iacon science academy is functionist af so now she's a wanted criminal now for supposedly "murder attempt". smh they hate to see a girlboss winning 😒😒😒 anyway, what's better than embracing being a full-fledged criminal and joining the budding decepticon movement? and oh, now starscream gets a position as a researcher under one of the greatest minds on primus grey earth too: shockwave!! man, if only her boss was less of a critic so she could leave him alone and not accidentally give him poison every time........

and lastly, the highly soughy-after outlier spark, a rare commodity and resource in the war: thundercracker! warborn, commissioned by the decepticons, thundercracker is quite literally made for war. but he dreams of the supposed better times - the short time of peace on cybertron that many in the army have lived through. wait, what do you mean it was horrible??? surely nothing can be more terrible than the war they're in right now, where the average age for every warborn is 20 seconds...... thundercracker only wants to finish the war as soon as possible and live his life in peace... isn't that so bad....

[artsy-hobbitses]

Is there a pet squad? It seems like every time I see something new about a character, it that they end up with a pet. So like the pet avengers or dc superpers version in ties that bind au a possible thing? Also who on both sides has a pet?

I DID NOT INTEND MOST OF THEM but animals just. Happen to some of these folks XDXD

Lesse...

AUTOBOTS:

Esmeralda the cat (Prowl and Jazz) - Jazz brought her back during one of his missions, Prowl basically became the dad who's like "I don't want pet" and a month later has her riding on his shoulders.

Dakshi the ovcharka (Kup) - Big dumb, big fun and big monstrous when you get him in the mood. Usually found roughousing with the Wreckers.

Molly the cattle dog (Ironhide) - Little dynamo of a dog, absolutely bouncing off the walls since she has no cattle to HERD NOW so she herds people instead.

Dunedan the Irish Setter (Mirage) - An old gentleman like his owner and Mirage's sightdog during hunts.

Avalon's Renaissance the horse (Mirage) - A riding horse who has seen better days and now enjoys leisurely canters with her master through the woods of Alpha Trion's estate.

Bigwig the rabbit (Bumblebee) - Is a gift to Bee from Optimus! Is also a right bastard to anyone not Bee, Bee's friends or OP.

An assortment of medical leeches (Ratchet) Many are named, mostly off famous vampires, and they live in a tempest prognosticator he had specially made for them.

A flock of pigeons (Optimus Prime) All are named and wear tags. OP doesn't have a favorite, and refers to them as his Mantiq Altair.

A murder of crows (Drift) They are not individually named, since Drift doesn't really consider them pets in a traditional sense, he simply feeds them and they see him as a human friend and bring him little gifts as such. However, he does refer to them affectionately as "The Crass Ones", because Sludge once asked him what these birds are called (he has some speech issues from the experimentation done on him and is working on remembering names of things around him) and while Drift told Sludge they were crows, he also told Sludge they were known as 'Karasu' in his language. Sludge misconstrued it as 'crass', became distressed and gently asked them to be kind to the nice man feeding them, and Drift found that so sweet/funny that the name stuck.

Tabiba the dove (First Aid) - A gift for First Aid from her uncle, Hotspot, when she graduated medical school.

Serpico the German Shepherd (Nightbeat) - Was the K9 Nightbeat worked most often with while he was a cop, and when he left to go underground/work from the shadows, he 'liberated' Serpico and Serpico chose to go with him rather than stay at the precinct. Is Nightbeat's scenthound and 'bodyguard' during stakeouts.

Lelaps and Boudicca the Maned-subtype Turbofoxes (Alpha Trion) - These were former sentry hounds of the Quintessons and were freed/reprogrammed by the Primes to help them instead.

DECEPTICONS

Old Fella the Pit Bull (Barricade) - Was rescued from an illegal fighting pit, and has long passed his best days. Was intended to be rehomed, but Barricade grew too attached to him, and with Megatron's blessings, decided to keep him instead.

Najmina the falcon (Skywarp) - Skywarp's pride and joy, and his scout during recon missions.

Buster the Jack Russell (Thundercracker) Your standard Jack Russell Terrorist so named because she would bust everyone's balls (her original name was 'Ballbuster') at Marissa Fairborne's base. With Marissa's encouragement, was adopted by Thundercracker who was feeling lost after leaving the Decepticons and needed an 'anchor'/something to care for while he figured out a new purpose in life.

Mollica the British Shorthair cat (Nickel) - One of those "there is a cat in my house, I do not own a cat" situations. This thing just sauntered into the DJD's quarters, almost slapped Tarn's mask off when he grabbed her and Nickel immediately fell in love and insisted on keeping her if only for her audacity. Her being around Tarn has not endeared him to her one bit

Graymalkin the Sphynx cat (Starscream) - Post war, adopted by Starscream as a companion.

Hello could I have idw windblade x male human in it windblade is first finding out about humans and falls in love with them

Lets go Windblade!

Hope you enjoy!

Windblade falling for Human Buddy

SFW, Platonic, Hinted romance, Human reader

IDW

It was Thundercracker who introduced Windblade to Buddy.

Windblade had gone to Earth in Starscream’s place as something big had popped up and forced him to stay.

Whether there was something that actually came up, Windblade was excited to finally see Earth.

She had seen so many videos and read many data pads on the infamous planet and was ecstatic to finally have a chance to see it with her own optics.

Chromia was less excited than her friend, preferring terrain she knew, but someone had to protect her.

Thundercracker and Buster were the one’s who first welcomed them to the planet when Buddy and Marrissa came in.

Marrissa and Buddy look up at the two new bots. Marrissa: “Welcome to Earth Windblade and Chromia. I am Marrissa and this is Buddy. We will be your human liaison’s during you stay on planet.” Buddy was still looking at the bots. Marrissa nudged Buddy on the side, snapping him out of his trace. Buddy: “Pardon me, I am still new to Cybertronians on the job. As Marrissa said, I am Buddy. If you need anything or have any questions, please feel free to ask.” Windblade: “Buddy, I have a question.” Buddy: “Yes?” Windblade: "Is it true that there are turbo foxes on Earth? I read on the way here that there were.” Chromia and Thundercracker look at her curiously. Not the type of question they thought the City Speaker would ask. Buddy: “We don’t have ‘turbo foxes’ but we do have the smaller organic version of them. Also depending which type—” Windblade: “There’s more than one type?” Buddy: “Yeah, I mean, yes. On Earth we have different types of foxes. If you follow me, I think we rescued an injured one that was caught in a bear trap a couple days ago. If Berny hasn’t released him yet, we can still see the little guy.” Windblade fluttering her wings a bit: “Yes, please!” The jet follows the smaller human happily chatting about the fox. Chromia, Marrissa and Thundercracker: “…” Thundercracker: “You know, that sounds a little like one of the screen writes I have drafted.” Chromia glaring at the human from a distance: “And how does it end.” Thundercracker: “They both fall in love—” Chromia: “Nope.” She marches right behind the pair. Thundercracker: “I bet a tube of wax Windblade falls first.” Marrissa: “Thundercracker! That is highly inappropriate!... Anyways, Buddy already fell for her.”

Chromia was Windblade’s shadow everywhere she went with the human.

She didn’t believe that her friend could fall for someone she just met.

She was smarter than that!

Buddy sensed the hostility coming from Windblade’s companion and tried including her in as many activities as he could.

He had already brought done Windblade’s walls with showing the foxes and some of the more peaceful areas outside the base.

Chromia was a harder challenge, but Buddy was always up for a good challenge.

It came in the form of the indoor racetrack and Cybertronian sized sparring ring.

Buddy was the sole pilot of a prototype mech suit created to help other Cybertronians on Earth if trouble came around.

Apparently sparring was the way to get through to Chromia.

Buddy slamming down on his back in the suit. Windblade and Thundercracker wince at the sound. Chromia walks over his suit. Chromia: “Your form is sloppy and slow.” Buddy: “Yeah, well it’s kinda hard when you’re still getting used to the new framework.” Chromia smirks and offers him her servo. He takes it and lets her pull him up. Chromia: “Despite that, you did manage to get a few good hits.” Buddy: “Is that a compliment I hear?” Chromia: “Please, you’re a decent fighter for a human…maybe we should get a new sparring partner. Windblade get your sword.” Buddy: “What?” Windblade: “What?” Thundercracker and Marrissa: “What?” Buster: “Woof?”

Buddy didn’t stand a chance.

Not that Windblade was a better fighter than he was.

No…

It was that he didn’t want to hurt her, which ultimately lead to him getting his behind slammed on the ground for multiple rounds.

After the ‘fight’ Buddy offered to show them around more places around the base and to see the sunset.

This seemed to be the pattern for the rest of the visit.

Work, sight see, spar, sight see, back to base.

The sight seeing only increased once Marrissa helped Buddy get clearance for certain airspaces.

Windblade had a soft spot for leisure flies around dawn and walks near the bases forested area.

The two were rarely seen apart during the whole visit.

Sadly, the visit had ended too soon for the pair.

Buddy, Marrissa, and Thundercracker waving at the ship as it disappeared out of sight.  Thundercracker: “That was a nice visit. Better without Screamer here.” Buddy: “I will never get how out of the ‘trine’ thing, YOU came out with a semi stable moral compass.” Marrissa: “I second that.” Buddy starts moving to the door. Thundercracker: “You’re not upset that Windblade left, are you?” Buddy blushes a bit before shaking his head. Buddy: “We knew the visit was short Cracker.” Marrissa: “So you aren’t going to miss her?” Buddy: “I didn’t say that. She is a good friend—” Thundercracker fake coughs loudly while Marrissa gave him a knowing smile. Buddy just huffs and walks back to his office desk. PING! Buddy looks down at his tablet to see a message. Windblade: “Can’t wait till I visit again! Miss you already!” Buddy blushes and smiles. Buddy: “Can’t wait either.”

How Buddy was looking at Windblade when she steps out of the ship.

GEN 1 CASSETTE HEADCANONS

WOW ALOT of people wanted this so I’m ecstatic to share my ideas.

Imma be putting them into categories due to how long this is. First off…

TRIVIA HEADCANONS!

Ravage will often scruff Rumble and Frenzy

Ravage will groom Rumble and Frenzy like kittens. They both don’t like it, but Rumble puts up the biggest fuss. Growling, barking and trying to bite. Ravage is not fazed.

Rumble barks and growls in his sleep. He tends to nap on Soundwave’s lap during meetings.

Rumble’s teething cycles were a nightmare. Nowadays he’ll steal and chew up stuff just to piss certain bots off.

Thundercracker has a soft spot for Rumble. Due to this, Rumble will listen to him about 50% of the time.

Rumble is an excellent tracker. It’s a common reason why he’s ejected from Soundwave, to track down certain signals.

Ravage is the bot who taught Rumble how to track. So she is called out less and gets more break time.

Rumble and Frenzy will bug Ravage constantly to play or wrestle. Rumble is the biggest one to plead for playtime. Mainly to Soundwave, Ravage, Thundercracker or his own brother.

Rumble will lie his favorite games are “for training purposes.” Like tug of war which the cybertronian name in my HC is “War Pull” for boosting his strength. And fetch which the cybertronian name in my HC is “Retrieve” for improving his reflexes.

Soundwave will feed all his cassettes on a schedule. It’s absolute chaos. Rumble is also a known food stealer. Once he’s finished with him and Frenzy’s shared food bowl of energon cubes. It’s not uncommon for Ravage to return to her food bowl to find Rumble sleeping by it empty.

Ravage is like the big sister to the cassettes, ESPECIALLY the twins. She can definitely get annoyed by their antics and treating her like a chew toy. But she’ll always go protective mode if they’re scared or in danger.

Rumble tends to copy his big sis Ravage. Like carrying his baby sis Ratbat when she’s in cassette form with his mouth (he learned this when Ravage did it with frenzy) giving small licks and purrs to Soundwave when he’s recovering, dragging enemies, etc. Soundwave finds the second thing odd.

Aaaand Frenzy will copy Rumble.

Rumble and Frenzy have the ability to shapeshift and camouflage into their surroundings. As it helps them as spy bots to get information.

AGE HEADCANONS

Ravage - Oldest sis. Everyone looks to her for opinions when Soundwave isn’t present. She’s annoyed/protective of her siblings 50% of the time.

Lazerbeak - Older bro. A lot less patient than Ravage when it comes to his siblings, besides Buzzsaw and RatBat. He’ll fly away if overwhelmed.

Buzzsaw - Middle bro. Has the patience of Ravage but the madness of Frenzy when it comes to battles.

Rumble - Second middle bro. Ankle biter, and SUPER protective of his two youngest siblings. He’ll go to Soundwave or Ravage when vulnerable.

Frenzy - Youngest bro. Ankle biter like his twin. He’s less of a biter, but more of a loud mouth. He likes being babied by Soundwave.

RatBat - Baby sis. Everyone is protective of her. She gets her screeches from Frenzy. She’s a bit shy, tends to hide in Lazerbeak’s wings.

( I know Soundwave has other cassettes but I’m going with the ogs-)

BOND HEADCANONS

-Ravage is closest to Rumble and Frenzy, just due to her dealing with them 24/7. She’s the most annoyed at them but is also the most protective. She doesn’t have any distaste for Lazerbeak, Buzzsaw or RatBat however.

-Lazerbeak admires Ravage as his big sis, but little sibling wise he’s most protective of RatBat and Buzzsaw. RatBat appreciates it, Buzzsaw not so much. He’s less protective of the twins due to the fact he knows most of the time, they fend alone.

-Buzzsaw admires Lazerbeak the most of his siblings, no surprise there. He’s got a bond with the twins due to their shared lust for destruction and victims to torment. Buzzsaw can get a little jealous of RatBat being cared for by Lazerbeak.

-Rumble’s bond is obviously closest to Frenzy. The two can’t function without each other. But he also heavily admires Ravage, even if he tends to annoy the slag out of her. If he’s bored or wore out, he’ll nap with her and smash anyone who makes fun of him. He enjoys Buzzsaw’s love for chaos and can be very protective of RatBat. Lazerbeak he’s more neutral with, you stay outta my way, I’ll stay outta yours.

-Similar to Rumble, Frenzy is most bonded with his twin. He admires Buzzsaw, and enjoys to give Ravage a hard time. Though if anything upsets him enough, he’ll go to her for comfort, if not his dad. He’s a daddy’s boy. Always wanting Soundwave’s attention. He don’t like Lazerbeak and can get jealous of RatBat due to her being the baby sibling.

-Last we got RatBat herself. RatBat don’t have it out for any of her older siblings. But she seeks Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw the most for protection. She finds Ravage and Frenzy a bit intimidating. She used to find Rumble scary until he showed more of a protective and “gentle” side.

Soundwave loves all his kids equally and I’m sticking with that.

Welp that’s all I got! If you made it this far, thank you for reading!

PLEASE REBLOG MY STUFF IF YOU ENJOY IT! 💕

[holographic-mars]

Mars... there is no coswave fix it au... there is no good post-war everyone lives au.. please give us your thoughts on the ideal happy ending for coswave

SAY LESS YIKEZ SAY LESS,,

Mars Coswave fixit AU is as follows:

Cosmos goes back to the Sanctuary station with Soundwave post Unicron. It takes them some time to recover but they do bc I said so. Also everyone else is alive including Buzzsaw, Lazerbeak, Rumble n Frenzy, and Sky-Byte. Also Ravage is alive as well. She still hangs out with the Lost Light which is still around and in this universe so that Ravage can visit Soundwave whenever she’d like. Which she does. Regularly.

Cosmos and Soundwave start off as just friends and Cosmos is Soundwave’s number one supporter in getting the Station up and running again. Soundwave feels so safe and secure and genuinely loved by this that it’s kinda easy to just lean in and kiss Cosmos right on his blastmask (which Cosmos is elated to return with a zap of static. They smooch for what feels like hours before finally going to bed warm in eachothers arms).

The Sanctuary Station is thriving better than before. There are Decepticons, Autobots, neutrals, and everything in between taking refuge in Soundwave’s home. Ravage has begrudgingly accepted that Cosmos will be a permanent part of her Soundwave’s berth, and is forced to admit he is quite warm and quite cozy to sleep against. The avians love their new round perch that they can tease and peck at. Rumble and Frenzy find way too much joy in roping Cosmos into their stupid pranks and then blaming him when it goes badly.

Thundercracker visits regularly too. He brings along Buster, specially fitted with a suit that supplies her oxygen, and Soundwave likes how soft she is against his plating. They sit for hours parallel playing—TC writes while Soundwave works on his projects for the Station. They take naps together, and eventually wake up with Cosmos and some cassettes in the pile asleep as well.

Aileron and Arcee come by too. Soundwave considers Aileron a friend and Arcee considers Cosmos a little brother , so they like to have group hangout sessions where they play games and throw stuff at Sky-Byte when he’s not looking.

Starscream and Soundwave form a begrudging friendship that consists of threatening eachother with physical violence when they get on the other’s nerves. Cosmos and Bumblebee get closer because of this, and Wheeljack enjoys the company.

Cosmos eventually asks Soundwave to be his Conjunx because Soundwave is the only one for him. There is no without Soundwave—his spark belongs to the mech and he would do anything to make him truly his. Soundwave agrees readily , breathily, and kisses Cosmos’ mask so hard his lips hurt.

Soundwave’s recordicons are invited to the ceremony , along with Thundercracker and D0C. It’s small and intimate , but it’s perfect for them.

The Path to Hell is paved with good intentions

I think what is interesting is the drive that is the Autobots and Decpeticons. Mostly the cause of the Decpeticons and Megatron himself.

Alot of the time we see Megatron to be a crazy, battle hungry, warlord whos hel bent of causing destruction, conquering all in his path and who cares only about his goal to rule.

Over the years we have seen many version of Megatron. From silly goofy villain who's somtiems could acutally be a threat like in g1, to pash, cold, cunning like TFA, to being a crazy war lord who is incredibly cruel in TFP.

But these versions are mostly a Megatron who came from fighting, or had no good intentions to begin with besides being selfish or power hungry.

Then you have TFE and IDW/IDW2 (and possibly tf one). A different apprich to a character. Some may say its to make someone who has done cruel things as more sympathetic. But I think adds depth and personality.

Giving more than a crazy leader with silly goons, to a person who genuinely thought at the beginning, "I want things to change, for the better ,because it is broken"

Much howOptimus, the humble data clerk (hate he is a cop in idw tbh) and the hard working miner. Your everyday ppl, going through diffenrt struggles and honestly. I think woukd be fair to say that Orion wouldn't know the struggles of lower level bots that don't even have proper names..

Like D-16. The mech whis become Megatron.

Both Optimus and Megatron i think wnates to see a change , but how they both went about it i what added the conflict.

These two are basically your average everyday people. Megatron was an average everyday person. He wasn't born into the pits, net a warrior. A worker.

I think with alot of cartoon "villains" to we get older and started to see from a adult perspective. "Oh wait they are making sense." And how MESSED up the situation even was to drive these characters to this point.

Its no longer good vs evil, it is two ideals fighting aginst each other. What was once a fight for what these two sides believes in, turned into warfare and blood shed. To the mentality of Megatron being

"I can't trust anyone to right thing, besides me. I am the only one who can fix this, I can lead us."

You know what I could also see Optimus having the SAME mentality when comes to fighting megatron and restoring Cybertron. They are very much two sides of the same coin. I think that's what adds to the conflict between them. Optimus could be one bad day away from becoming Megatron onnthe sense of wanting to control the situation despite what costs just to not se Megatron when.

And you know he HAS done this. Yeeting the allspark for one to not let Megatron have ir but at the cost of Cybteron and its occupance. It was a loose loose situation regardless.

When it comes to alt-modist mentality, this high class vs low class, and the corruption of Cybertron. It is no wonder why so many people believes in the Decpeticon causes.

The reason why I clung so hard to Transformers Earthspark Megatron is because this was a break out from his character. To later learn it definitely took inspo from IDW who explored this character further sealed my admiration for him.

No one in the tf universe is less or more guilty. Both sides have done HORRIBLE things. Experimentation, brutality, killing innocence and their own soldiers just to get the won up. The autobots are not without their own blood shed. Only SOME of the autobots have a bit more regard for life and the planet they sit on. It doenst mean all of them do, and it doenst mean people within the groups around Optimus like it. But because they are painted as good guys we exapect them to.

Its when Decpeticons seem to take an interest in life do I find it way more compelling because it is out of their characteristics. They are the "bad guys"

Knockout being interested in Human cinema

Thundercracker being into writing and making movies

They are still PEOPLE. With interests and hobbies, internal conflicts and hesitations.

To see a Megatron not only fight aginst his own army , but take a human, a HUMAN as a friend that he TRUSTS?! That he gave up his Cybertronian already mode UP FOR?! Thats a bug FUCKING deal.

Just the contrast to TFW Megs to say TFP. Tfp depsite it beingbbetter for camouflage NEVER changes his alt mode. He is never willing to acutally change, he is so deeply rooted in what he is, who he is. What he is doing. That he is unwilling to change to the surroundings. No the surrounding will change BECAUSE of him.

While TFE realized a change was needed to fix things, to work together, to show I AM CHANGING, I WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

This is not a Slander Optimus rant or a WOW Megatron is such a great guy essay.

Was mostly me rambling.

sorry to bother u but im really interested.. in a old drawing you mentioned you saw starscream as sunstorms father so to speak , since sun is his clone , and i can see you like him w all the recent fan art you made of him , so could you expand on that? im really interested on your take on them!

Haha, I mean, I think my comment about Starscream being Sunstorm's dad was less about me seeing them as familial and more just that it tickles my fancy thinking about how these two characters are cosmically connected to each other in that way, just like how thundercracker and skywarp are cosmically connected to starscream through the toy lines always casting them alongside starscream. I cant really think about sunstorm without thinking of starscream, and i really like thinking about starscream.

Truth be told the entirety of my fondness for this character is from the "Star Followed Star" fan fiction by Book of the Night Sky and I feel like the Sunstorm in that fic is very much a different character than what the canon version of him is. I'd never even heard of this character before I read this fic. It is peek Sunstorm dealing with the baggage that comes from being Starscream's successor. Love just how different he is to Starscream while being expected to be Starscream. I think the expectation highlights the differences between them, it's really fun.

so yeah, idk! he's kinda like his dad in that you kinda cant help but compare the two, despite them being completely different people.

i cant see starscream as like parenting sunstorm but maybe since I personally dont enjoy reading offspring/sparkling fics (personal preference), the cloning kinda gives starscream a little guy without having to go through all that pfpfpfpf. Maybe it could be fun if starscream got to be a fail dad like bumblebee. Sunstorm being a clone of starscream does means that in most interpretations i see of him he's the youngest or at least one of the younger seekers, and i think thats cute. sunstorm is like a younger, softer, more innocent starscream. starscream should adopt him, just saying. (actually, just kidding, starscream shouldnt be allowed to adopt children, he would be a bad influence) (maybe sunstorm can adopt starscream)

starscream would be more of a weird uncle or big brother.

anyway, thanks for the ask! XD

[revelboo]

U h, so like, I may or may not have gotten absolutely hooked on your blog 👉👈 I absolutely adore your fics with the Seeker Trine, I don’t see much of them out there so when I stumbled upon your little series, it got me good. I am super invested in each of the stories and I really, really like the way you right!! Looking forward to more :3

Thank you!

True Romance Pt 5

Seeker Trine x Reader

• Wings flaring out tiredly to stretch out the kinks, Starscream pauses in the door to the communal habsuite he shares with his trine before closing the door behind him, sprawled on his back with his head hanging off the edge of his berth Skywarp glances at him, jaw clenching, then his attention is back on the human laying against his chassis, his servos sliding along your back. Across the room, Thundercracker is fiddling with the communication screen, so engrossed in his project that he’s not even noticed his entrance. “What is this?”

• Startling, Thundercracker offers Starscream a sheepish smile. “Movie night? I’ve been watching some of their media and it’s pretty interesting,” he says, inclining his head toward you sleeping on Skywarp. And he waits for Starscream to tell him he’s too busy, because he always does that. Knows his brother is the SIC and stays buried under reports and requests, but he just wants them all together like it had been before the war. Before the Decepticons. At least for a little bit. The ‘no’ doesn’t come though as Starscream drifts closer to Skywarp, attention on you.

• “They were cold again,” Skywarp growls, annoyed at being caught tending to you when he shouldn’t care less. But he likes the warmth of you there against him, the softness that should be off putting to him. Your little cheek is against him, knuckles against his canopy. Trusting him enough to rest under his watch and he’s not sure what to make of that or why it spreads warm through his spark.

• “Always,” Starscream vents softly, reaching to pick you up. Noting the way Skywarp tenses, but doesn’t try to stop him even when you make a pitiful sleepy sound of protest until he cradles you to him. Head lifting to look up at him, seeing who has you, and immediately relaxing again. And he can’t understand this trust of yours. That you just accept this and them instead of raging to be freed.

• Feeling that thrum in your bones when Starscream cups you to him, you know you should be trying to escape. But there’s almost always at least one of them watching over you. They’re not your friends by any means, but as he runs a servo against you, you’re not sure they’re your enemies either. Know it’s just Stockholm’s ringing your bell, because they’re always fussing over you, bringing you things, food, whatever they think you might like. Trying to keep you happy when they don’t have to. You’re still a prisoner, but it’s harder and harder to see the bars of your cage every day, they just keep blurring with every gentle touch. They’ll get bored of you eventually and let you go. And you’re not sure how you feel about that. “Everything okay?”

• Sitting on his berth, Starscream looks down at you. Seeing you watching him in return. Always asking them about their day. Trying to collect intel on them to pass along to your government in case you manage to escape? That must be it, but he still finds himself telling you. And you just lay your cheek on his servo and listen, asking questions and agreeing with him. Like you might really care. Hating that he wants to believe that, because something is very wrong with him.

Angsty request for feral Starscream and the Elite Trine. How would they react to someone within their trine (maybe TC or Skyquake) getting their wings just ripped off? Maybe by like a cruel bounty hunter who collects “trophies”? Besides probably wanting to kill the bot responsible twice over, what else would the reaction be?

And honestly what would happen to the poor wing-less seeker?

If a trinemate’s wings were ripped off the first course of action would be an attempt to retrieve the wings and reattach them as soon as possible.

Of course there would be panic, constant hovering over whoever the victim is. Starscream especially trying to keep himself from flipping his lid at anyone who isn’t his trinemates.

Should they not be able to retrieve the wings then whoever’s wings were take is going to die a very slow and painful death, decaying both physically and psychologically, to the point their own crashes take their lives or they their own. Most seekers however, would rather put their trinemate out of their misery than witness and feel the decent into madness.

The victim will be loved on, shown adoration by not just their trine but the entire flock. An injury like this is one of the few times the entire flock comes together outside of hunting and fighting. Death is certain to a seeker that can’t fly, they are all cruelly aware of this, so they come together to make the victim comfortable in their time of decay. The victim becomes the center of attention, constantly watched over, constantly groomed by cliquemates, constantly cherished until the inevitable dawns.

Now, there is a way to stop the sky thirst from taking over but only one seeker has ever survived it(Knockout), it involves reprogramming their processor and that’s not easy.

Whoever did the deed would be considered a threat to the flock and would have an entire army of seekers ‘ready to tear them into pieces and devour them to make use of the pathetic existence’ as Starscream would put it.

Trust, Starscream would raise hell however he could, Skywarp and Thundercracker respectively as well, should they loose a trinemate or not.

"Hello, Skyfire."

I know you cannot hear me. Once again you are buried beneath the ice here on Earth, the planet you and I were the first to discover from Cybertron. I lost you here, once, under better circumstances; it's somewhat ironic that I lose you here again, under… less favorable circumstances. "I'm not gonna be here long; we're just cleaning up our mess. Megatron thought he might be able to salvage SOMETHING from this ridiculous expedition, despite my warnings, but… well, you saw how he was, as short the time that we had together." I called you a traitor. But I'll be honest, Skyfire, I don't know if that was out of anger from you joining the Autobots, or from you abandoning me, your… Can I still call myself your friend? You were a scientist through and through, and where I was easily swayed by the lure of power, you were forced to fight, convinced by me that it was the right thing to do. Is that something friends do? No, it isn't, is it. Then why did it HURT when you tore off that badge? When you wouldn't listen to me, when you refused to attack our enemies! Why did I feel like I was losing what little power I had when you, my comrade, my friend, sided with THEM? You… *groan* "What…" Is that you? Are you moving down there, cracking the ice, trying to break free? And if you do… where will that leave us? "Screamer! Megatron can't get the eqiupment running again! We got some energon cubes, but not enough to make staying in this frozen wasteland worth it. We're in the sky in 80,000 quartrexes!" "QuarTEXes. I'm be there, Thundercracker." With the Decepticons. I can't go back, Skyfire. At least, I don't think I can. And I'm pretty sure you can't either. Maybe, when this is all over, we can bury the hatchet and catch up on science. But something tells me… One of us is not going to get out of this alive. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had a sudden urge to write what Starscream would say and think at Skyfire's "grave". I know a lot of folks have delved into this relationship, but I felt like this immediate reflection following their battle in the arctic had to be put down somewhere. It's a bit rambly, I'll admit; I think I wrote Screamer with a rather stream-of-conscious attitude, which partially reflects the way I try to parse my feelings, to some extent. At any rate, I'm a bit pleased with the last line there, so yeah. Enjoy :3
