#who snitches on magnus's decepticon kisser crimes

[minimus-ambus]

ok so this is what i think’s gonna happen with the idw reboot

it’s minimegs, minimegs is gonna happen

(or, i started speculating in the discord and it built into this, i have a Google Doc and everything) 

Ok so all of IDW canon happened, but then Unicron came and they have no way of killing him so it seems like the end, so many bots are dead and it’s super sad

Then Primus is like aw dang this sucks, i can help but ur not gonna like it

And the remaining bots which include a v damaged OP are like we’ll do it

Primus is like one of y’all has to give up ur life so the universe will be reset cause that’s the only way i can stop Unicron, i can’t attack or affect him directly but i can change the universe

Optimus is like i’ll give myself up (partially because he’s already kinda dying but also cause he’s a self-sacrificing dummy) and Primus is like Ok and resets the universe

So the few bots who survived Unicron retain their memories but their frames are slightly altered, less visually complex, more,,,,,, cartoony.

And oh shit it’s Transformers Animated now!!!!!!!!!!

Cybertron is fine but they don’t have a Vector Sigma, instead they have the Allspark

So all the sparks lost to Unicron and before then have returned to the Allspark, but the survivor bots don’t know that yet. They set about repopulating Cybertron with the Allspark (not like that ya nasties, get ur mind outta the gutter)

some of the tfa bots are completely new, some of the bots are reincarnated but don't have memories, and a few bots survived Unicron and are the same IDW selves

like Ultra Magnus is still idw Magnus, but he's more hardened and colder because of all the time that's passed (and how much he misses his friends)

tfa OP is reincarnated OP but he doesn't have the memories, but sometimes he gets weird dreams :O

in this verse Ultra Magnus lives after the attack on him cause he's still secretly Minimus,,

and when he sees OP return from earth with the Allspark in a container that looks a lot like the Matrix he's like >:|

No wait forget that last part i gotta make it More Gay

on tfa Cybertron when Magnus is ruling there are reports of a swirling portal that doesn't look like a groundbridge…

Magnus goes to see it himself and idw Megatron emerges from the portal

he recognizes Magnus even with his changed appearance and is happy to see him, while Magnus is just. Frozen

it's very gay and sad cause Magnus has lost all of his friends and never thought he'd see his Megatron again

Megatron meanwhile has no idea that Unicron happened or about the changes to cybertron, he just knows he's been gone for a long time but Magnus is still here!!!

Magnus is dumbstruck for a moment but then he goes “uhhhhh- Dominus, my friend! Always making such extravagant entrances…”

and Megatron's like ????? cause what

Magnus gives him a look and mouths go with it to him

there's probably some trouble with idw megs looking like tfa megs but Magnus manages to keep him from being arrested by pretending that he’s some old friend named Dominus (he’s gotten better at lying over time)

they go somewhere private and Megatron is still kinda confused but also Gay so he comments on the changes to the magnus armor... Magnus murmurs that while it has been altered, he’s barely left the armor for 12 million years

Megatron's like um what

Then, the magnus armor powers down and Minimus gets out because he wants to tell Megatron about everything that's happened in the same form he knew him last in

megatron's just shellshocked by the time Minimus has explained everything

i just,,,, Minimus is telling Megatron how he sees bots like Rodimus and Ratchet and OP and they're all so much like the bots they knew but they Don't Remember Him and :c

and Magnus just.... breaks. He's been so used to being cold and stoic for so many years that seeing Megatron again is like a punch in the gut, he's overwhelmed with emotion that he doesn't know what to do with. by the end of his explaining he's trembling because primus he's been so alone for so long. and Megatron, who brought all these emotions back, is right in front of Minimus with such a soft, sad look in his optics. for once Minimus doesn't even think, he just moves forward. Minimus finally lets the millions of years of grief he's carried pour out in the silent embrace of the one mech who loves him.

Megatron stays with Magnus for the next few weeks (cause he's got absolutely nowhere to go) and if he went out without Magnus everyone would think he was Megatron (tfa megatron) and he'd get arrested very quickly

Magnus continues being Magnus but he actually finds some happiness in coming home to Megatron and being Minimus around him

they hug and smooch a lot, it's so gay

so one day while Megatron is living with Magnus on Cybertron for a bit, when Minimus is getting up he hears a crash from the bedroom and muffled swearing, so he rushes in to see Megs covering his face. He’s like “what’s wrong, what happened???”

And Megatron looks at him. And slowly says, “what happened. to my nose.”

Minimus is like “.....what”

and Megatron says again, “my nose is Gone, what happened to my nose??????” and he draws back his hands up reveal that he indeed has No Nose (because it’s tfa style now, the rules of the universe only now caught up to megs).

Megatron just looks so horrified that Minimus just starts giggling and can’t stop, this results in Megatron indignantly yelling that this is serious, Minimus while Mins is shaking in silent laughter on the floor because this is the funniest thing he’s seen in years

Magnus starts realizing that he's become harsher, and that a lot of decisions and things he did in the past were Bad (coughthejettwinscough)

so he resolves to be a better leader and a better person

that same day, this guard that was there when Megatron first appeared stops by Magnus's home; they've had this bit of suspicion centering around this mysterious mech that Magnus stopped them from arresting and called friend, and when some datapads needed to be delivered to the Magnus they volunteered

the guard steps up and starts to knock on the door when it slides open (it's a futuristic slidey door of course)

see, Magnus forgot to lock the door (he was hurrying to smooch his husband)

so this guard sees Magnus and the mech sitting on the couch with their backs facing them

the guard considers clearing their throat or something but that bit of suspicion is telling them to wait, so they partially hide themselves behind the doorframe, listening closely

to their shock, they see Magnus and this grey mech kiss, and they're like :O!!!

and then they hear Magnus call the grey mech Megatron and they're like >:O!!!!

with the moment recorded, the guard slips away silently to report their shocking discovery to Autobot High Command

but guess what happens the next day???

that's right it's that asshole shockwave

Magnus gets attacked by shockwave but since he's Minimus, he's alive (but Minimus loses an arm)

Mins has no idea what to do, because he can't just stay in the magnus armor and possibly bleed to death, but if he tries to seek medical help he'll surely be discovered as Minimus Ambus

he makes the decision to leave the armor and try to find Megatron

meanwhile, Megatron is chilling at Magnus's house when these guards break down the door and try to arrest him

of course Megatron ain't having none of that so he manages to fight them off and takes off down the streets of Iacon (imagine these civilian autobots just going about their day when a huge fuckin tank just zooms by like nyoom)

he tries to comm Magnus but he only gets static, which really worries him

eventually though he gets to Autobot Command and manages to find Minimus, who's been stumbling through the halls and trying to stop the bleeding from his arm

they're both surprised to see each other, but Megatron wastes no time in sweeping Minimus up in his arms and running, telling him that they have to leave Cybertron, now

Minimus directs them to the fastest spaceship the military has and they successfully steal it, evading autobot forces trying to capture them and shooting away into space

only after a bit does Megatron ask Minimus where exactly they're going. Minimus replies, "Remember where I told you Optimus Prime and his team was?"

Megatron stops for two seconds, then groans, "damn it, why is it always earth...."

Minimus just gives him a small, fond smile.

They spend a week or so flying through space, they smooch a lot and Megatron is worried over Minimus’s wound. Minimus always waves him off, sure it aches but the energon stopped leaking and he’s fine. He’s fine, Megatron. Minimus and Megatron spend their days planning out what’s going to happen when they get to Earth, and how they’re gonna explain themselves to the Earth crew. Ratchet already knows, but everyone else will have no idea who Minimus is and assume the worst with Megatron. So, they decide that Minimus will go to the autobots first. He’ll get medical help (something Megatron insisted on) and talk to Ratchet, and explain the situation. Then Megatron can come and they’ll break it gently to OP and the rest.

Of course it doesn’t go that smoothly though

It’s a complete disaster

it’s always a complete disaster
