I know your on a break from requests but I don’t want to forget this one, so I’m just gonna leave it here till your back to taking requests ☺️

The butts and cons reacting to An adult buddy who is an archeologist and actively studies and learns the cybertronian language and history. A buddy who is in charge of a team that travels around the world too study history. And she has studied the cybertronian language so much that she can read and write it, she can sort of speak it aswell.

I can’t stop thinking about this, especially because I love the idea of a certain archivist (Optimus) and archeologist/historian buddy having little knowledge sharing conversations…..possibly romance 😏

But you do you boo

Tried going for a pre romantic vibe for this one. Optimus deserves a friend to just be himself around. Introvert to introvert levels of friendship. Lets see how Buddy navigates their friendship with Prime.

Hope you enjoy!

Human Buddy the archivist and who studies Cybertronian culture with Optimus Prime

SFW, slight romantic, platonic, Human reader

Buddy was an archivist that worked alongside Agent Fowler. They met while they worked as a former spy for the government that retired that life to pursue their passion.

They met the bots with him.

“Autobots. I’d like you to meet a friend of mine that will be working with you. This is former agent Buddy.”--Fowler

“Why bring us a former agent, Agent fowler?”--Ratchet

“Because ratchet, they are in charge of learning about your culture and in charge of helping you all learn about Earth’s culture.”--Fowler

“…Are they okay?”—Bulkhead

Buddy staring intently at Optimus’s frame.

“What do you—Buddy, Buddy no—”--Fowler

Buddy locking eyes with Optimus.

Optimus locking optics on Buddy.

Both-- Introvert radar on: Potential Friend spotted.

“Well good luck with that. See you all in 5.”--Fowler

“Wait what do you mean? Agent? Agent!”--Ratchet

It was Budy’s job to get to know the giant aliens more. They would be lying if they said they didn’t enjoy learning about the bots culture. They had gotten to know the members of the misfit team through the years. Sure, it did lead to some misadventures along the way, especially when the kids came along…

“Beeep? (Buddy, can I ask you a question?)”—Bumblebee

“Sure Bee! What’s your question?”—Buddy

“Beeep bep bop? (What does ‘babygirl’ mean? I heard Miko saying that to Jack.)--Bumblebee

“… Where’s Miko?”—Buddy

Despite this, they especially hit it off with Optimus.

Buddy seemed to have awaken Orion Pax from time to time with their thirst for knowledge.

Prime and Buddy by the screens looking at Iacon records.

“By the Primes…”--Ratchet

“What is it?”--Arcee

“I think I know why Agent Fowler said, ‘good luck’.”--Ratchet

“Why? They seem to be fine? What harm is that?”—Arcee

“Do you think it’s in section 3ab part 4 sub article 15?”—Buddy

“No, maybe in section 3.4 ab part 5 sub article 16?”—Optimus

“Oh, true maybe its—“--Buddy

“There’s two of them now.”--Ratchet

The Prime is more than happy to share his planet’s culture alongside the rest of the team. But those moments are usually reserved for the two of them.

It was their thing.

Soon enough the kids and June came into the picture.

Buddy wasn’t going to lie and say it was easy to explain their job to them. But the sight on their faces when they would go in depth about a certain topic was priceless. It was always nice to have someone interested in this line of work.

“You know you can ask Bulkhead about this stuff, right?”--Buddy

“That’s right you can ask me about stuff.”--Bulkhead

“Yeah but some of the stuff you weren’t there and Buddy is pretty much a walking wiki page on Cybertronian history.”--Miko

“I’m not sure whether to take that as a compliment or not? But thank?”--Buddy

“If you want history why don’t you ask Ratchet or Prime?”--Bulkhead

“I want a quick story not a university lecture.”--Miko

Now, did all this knowledge make them a bit bias about the war.

Yes, yes it did.

But Buddy wasn’t blind in the way stories go.

They secretly want the Cons input on the war and their beliefs. They have lost count of the number of times they have stood up for the bots against other humans.

The worst one came from June after she tried to take the kids away from the base and blaming the bots for letting them get hurt on their watch.

“June stop that right now!”--Buddy

“Why! They let the kids get hurt on their watch!”--June

“I understand your concern but let them off the hook a little okay!? They don’t have optics in the back of their helms you know!”--Buddy

“They still—”--June

“We are at war June! Whether you want to open your eyes to it or not! People are going to get hurt. No one can promise a safe return… no one can. So, for the love of Primus, June, shut it.”--Buddy

Optimus never saw the fury in Buddy’s eyes than in that moment. Nonetheless he is a bit grateful for them standing up while he tries to take that blame. The team does let Buddy know they appreciate them.

Buddy did get kidnapped one day by Megatron himself.

By the time the planned hostage negotiations were going to happen, Megatron had gotten a hit of nostalgia. It came in the form of his tiny hostage.

“So, you’re Megatron?”--Buddy

“Yes, I am. Now—”--Megatron

“Oh finally! You have no idea how long I’ve actually wanted to meet you.”--Buddy

“…What—”--Megatron

“I have so many questions to ask you and your cause.”--Buddy

“You want to know about the Decepticon cause?--Megatron

“Yes! I mean, I know pretty much what the autoboots have had to say, I want to know the war from your causes point of view. For example, how did it start? From what I heard, you wanted to bring a new change for your fellow Cybretronian were things were going to be better for everyone. And, not to embarrass you or anything, but I quoted some of your earlier works—”--Buddy

Megatron now looking at a smaller Orion Pax talking about his works.

“… Pax.”--Megatron

“I—what?”--Buddy

“You’re designation now is Pax.”--Megatron

“Oh I guess—”--Buddy

“Come with me Pax, I have plenty of Decepticon data pads that you can look over.”--Megatron

“Okay!”--Buddy

Megatron couldn’t bring himself to destroy the fleshy. They were an organic replica of how Orion Pax was before the war. Dare he say it, but he missed the smaller bot he once knew and grew to call brother. He can’t do it.

“Lord Megatron, may I be so bold—”--Starscream

“You may not.”--Megatron

“—as to ask you why the organic is doing with that data pad?”--Starscream

“They wanted to learn more about our cause, isn’t that right Pax?”--Megatron

“I finished with this one, may I have another one?”--Buddy

“Of course, Soundwave.”--Megatron

Soundwave passes another data pad to ‘Pax’.

“Thank you!”--Buddy

“…Did you name the organic Pax?”—Starscream

“Is that a problem Starscream?”—Megatron

“Of course not—“—Starscream

“Then silence. Come now Pax.”--Megatron

“All right then. Bye Soundwave! By Starscream!”—Buddy

“…What in the Pits…”—Starsceam

Megatron didn’t want to seem like a weakling to his army, so he decided to do the hostage video but as soon as he got what he came for, to split with Pax.

Optimus was furious to hear about Megatron’s negotiations and that he had Buddy. Everyone was angry and ready to get Buddy back. Prime is considering the possibility of cutting off more than Megatron’s arm this time around.

Everyone goes to the location where Megatron said the negotiations would be held.

Its to everyone surprise to see Buddy come out of the ground bridge with a little bit of scratches here and there.

“Buddy!”--Everyone

“Hey! How’s everyone?”--Buddy

“How did you escape?”--Ratchet

“Oh, I didn’t.”--Buddy

“You did not?”--Optimus

“No, actually I managed to strike a deal with ol’ Megs. I get to go back to you on the condition that I return to the Nemesis every month or so. And before you say anything, no details from either side.”--Buddy

“Well, we’re just happy your back.”--Bulkhead

Later…

“Hey Optimus.”--Buddy

“Yes?”--Optimus

“I didn’t know that Megatron had a soft spot for nerdy archivists.”--Buddy

“… Apparently he does.”--Optimus

“What are you guys talking about?”--Miko

“Lecture work.”--Buddy

faunus Lion Yang with a happy trail and a mane

Yang: (wakes up with a yawn that morphs into a roar)

RWB: (wake up with a jolt)

Weiss: What the devil was that?!

Ruby: (pulls out Crescent Rose) Was that a Grimm?

Yang: Ha. Ha. Very funny, guys. (Jumps out of bed and stretches) Just because I snore like a bear and yawn louder than Bumblebee's engine doesn't mean I'm a Grimm.

Ruby: Whoa! Yang, you're a faunus!

Yang: What?

Weiss: Look in the mirror.

Yang: (Looks in the mirror and sees that her hair has turned into a full mane, the village trail growing underneath her navel is more prominent, and a lion til growing from her lower back) Whoa! How did that happen?!

Blake: (obviously eying Yang up from her bunk) I'm not complaining. Rawr~

Yang: (blinks before shooting Blake a smirk and finger gun) Hey~

Weiss: Save your thirst for when Ruby and I aren't in the room. Thank you very much.

Fledgling | KNJ

Pairing: Namjoon x Vampire!Reader

Genre: supernatural, slight fluff, slight smut, strangers to lovers, Vamp!AU

Rating: M (18+)

Warnings: swearing, feeding, turning, mentions of blood, allusions to slaughter, implied sexual activity, references to broken beds, mentions of chains and being restrained, Namjoon is essentially a golden retriever in vamp form

Word Count: 1.2K

Disclaimers: NSFW, obviously I don’t own BTS - they just inspire me

Summary: Your beloved is full of surprises.

A/N: Vamp!Reader and her lovely little human Namjoon are back! Couldn't stop thinking about them, decided to write a little more. This is dedicated to @herecomesjoon - Satvrn, I wanted to have this ready for your birthday, I'm sorry it's late! I hope you enjoy a little bit more of our favorite vamp boy toy. 💜

Unbeta'd as usual.

Previous - Hungry (For Your Love)

The one undeniable fact about Kim Namjoon, your beloved - he is full of surprises.

Like the day he informs you that he knows you’re a vampire. It comes much faster than it ever did in any of your previous relationships, only a few weeks in. He’s not scared or angry when you confirm the truth. No, he’s curious, and spends the next few days following you around, eagerly asking you question after question, until you finally promise to tell him all about your ancient life, but slowly and over the course of your time together, not all at once.

Then there is the day he asks you to turn him. You had assumed he would want to remain a human - that he understood how precious his mortal life was and would want to protect it. But as he explained it to you again and again, every time you asked him if he was certain, “Baby, there are three things I know for sure. I want to explore the world. I want to be with you. And I want to do both of those things forever.”

You still make him wait. An entire year comes and goes, and his answer never changes. Then a second passes. After the third, when it seems his aspiration remains unwavering, you oblige him. Take him to bed, drink of his blood, then make him drink of your own. Drunk on your venom, he tells you that your blood tastes like honey. Calls you his little bumblebee, says your sting felt better than he’d ever imagined. You laugh at your silly human, knowing that the morning will bring so much change with it.

Given how much he’s always surprising you, perhaps you should’ve expected that his turning would be different from others. You’d prepared for a rapacious fledgling, having learned your lesson after London, when your lover had succumbed to her feral bloodlust and gone on a tear across the city, leading you on a chase that lasted for days - that was a messy experience you wish to never repeat. When the morning comes, Namjoon willingly slips into the chains that keep him bound to the bed, also wanting to avoid a bloody scene.

The thirst comes upon him almost immediately, eyes opening with an unearthly glow. He begs and cries for blood, but he never tears at his restraints, never tries to free himself and disappear into the night like the dreadful creature he’s become.

No, he isn’t overwhelmed by his new thirst, thankfully. Although, his newfound nature seems to… amplify… his human hunger. For you. If you thought he had a voracious appetite before, it’s completely insatiable now.

Being chained doesn’t stop him from breaking the bed that night. It’s just the first of many to end up as splintered ruins.

Tonight, though, he’s excited for a different reason, because you’ve decided it’s safe for him to finally go outside. Even though you’re sure he’s not going to go on a killing spree, you’re still on high alert, remembering vividly that the first time a fledgling ventures into the world with their heightened senses can be… intense.

It’s about midnight when the two of you leave Namjoon’s house. You lead him towards the woods, away from town and the overpowering scent of humanity that hangs there like a tempting cloud. As soon as you reach the park at the edge of the tiny forest, Namjoon takes off, exploring his new vamp speed by zipping around. He’s a blur even in your unnaturally sharp vision.

“This is amazing!” he shouts as he whooshes past you to the tree line.

With his enhanced hearing, your giggles remind him of the bright tinkling of bells. “Look at you, bouncing around the woods like a little bat. My little bagjwi.”

Namjoon comes to a dead stop, eyes widening. “Wait, shit, can I turn into a bat now? I never thought to ask!” He takes off again, and with a running leap he jumps up several meters into the air, landing in the bough of a towering pine. “Whoa, did I just fly??”

“No, darling, I’m afraid that one is a myth. You can run and jump better than any animal, but we do not possess the gift of flight.”

He pouts, but only for a second before he drops from the tree, gracefully landing on his feet. And then he’s off again, whirling around you as he tests his limits.

“How fast can I go?” He pauses at your side for a moment. “What’s the fastest a vampire’s ever gone? Do I go faster if I’ve fed than if I’m hungry?”

“So many questions,” you laugh, cupping his cheek. “I truly hope you never lose your sense of wonder, my love.”

He leads you further into the woods, where the moonlight shining from the clear sky above lights a shadowy path under the canopy of the tall trees. Namjoon marvels at how well he can see now. “I don’t need my glasses anymore, do I?”

You shake your head, smiling as he runs off again, darting between the closely-grown trees with incredible ease. He won’t need corrective lenses ever again. Or hearing aids, or any of the other devices humans have invented to help themselves as they age. He doesn’t even need a coat tonight, running around in a t-shirt even though it’s late autumn. As long as he continues to nourish himself with human blood, his body maintains the perfect temperature. Everything about him is perfect, now. Or more perfect, really, considering what he was like to begin with.

The two of you reach a small clearing in the forest where several trees have been cut down. Long limbs and round stumps litter the area. Namjoon pauses near a pile of wood.

“Wait a minute - I want to try something.” He grabs one of the thicker stumps lying on the ground. “I saw this in a movie once.” With a cheeky grin, he proceeds to rip the stump in half with his bare hands, dimples flashing as he laughs. “Holy shit, it worked!”

Well. It’s an odd trick, for sure, but you don’t care, lost in admiring the way his biceps ripple as he tears the wood apart with his vamp strength. You do so love it when he wears those sinfully tight t-shirts, the ones that hide absolutely nothing from your lustful gaze.

Namjoon’s head suddenly snaps up. A pair of golden eyes gleam at you. “I can smell you.”

“Of course you can, darling. Enhanced senses, remember?”

The look on his face is darker than you’ve ever seen as he walks towards you. Purely animalistic. It weakens your knees, and sends a wave of desire flooding through you.

“It’s more than that. I can hear your heart thumping, too. It just got louder. Faster.”

He continues to advance, and you wonder if this is what your prey feels like when they see you coming. It’s a thrilling sight, at once arousing and terrifying.

“Baby,” he purrs, wrapping one hand around your waist while the other strokes your cheek. “I can smell how wet you are.” He inhales, nostrils flaring, and hums a low note of satisfaction. “Fuck. You smell delicious.”

As his strong arms lock around you, you sigh contentedly, gazing into his gorgeous face. How lucky you are, to have found such an extraordinary soul to spend your eternity with.

“Then you better take me home, little bagjwi, and have your fill.”

Please don’t be a silent reader! 🥺 I’d love to know what you think - my inbox is always open! 💕

Why do we hate Airachnid that much?

I saw a short but rather interesting post from @cosmics-beings, which questioned why most of us hate Airachnid that much: here

A possible first answer was that it was because she killed Breakdown. But as cosmic says, Starscream killed Cliffjumper and Megatron killed Dreadwing, yet that doesn't stop us from liking one or the other, or even both : here

So what is different with Airachnid? What makes us don't love her, sometimes going so far as to hate her. Because deep down, she's not much different from Starscream. Both are characters who don't really belong to one side, and who are selfish and calculating. They both have:

-Tried to betray Megatron

-Became MECH Allies

-Killed a partner of Arcee/or other (so Breakdown for Airachnid)

And yet, despite these striking resemblances of actions, the two did not do it for the same reason, or in the same way.

First, why do both of them want to betray/kill Megatron? Starscream attempts to do this because he is being abused by Megatron. He's actually one of the few Starscreams to be at least loyal as long as you treat him well, and meet some of his expectations. In the beginning of the series, Starscream shows no signs of betrayal, until Megatron begins to hurts him. It's from this moment that Starscream begins to think again of betraying him, by killing him. This is one of the first reasons, the second being an undeniable thirst for power from him, which he somehow tries to fill. Adding the fact that he led the Decepticons for three years, and as soon as Megatron returned, everything started to go wrong. Thanks, Dark Energon…

But, Airachnid? Why does she do it? Why does she want to betray Megatron so badly too? For power? Like Starscream? But what is the motivation behind it? She seems more the type to live alone, and all of a sudden she wants to lead? In fact, we don't understand her intentions unlike Starscream, this is one of the first points that makes us not like her, because we can't understand her. A character on the villain side can be appreciated, but has to be understood.

Then why did they try to ally with MECH? For Starscream, the answer is simple: he was literally starving to death, and MECH had the resources to solve that problem. Afterwards, one might wonder why he betrayed his species in such a way by revealing to the MECH how to build an artificial Transformer. Already, because it suited him, the MECH was bound to look for energon for their robot, and he knew that in return for his information, he could have some. In Starscream's head you don't get anything for free, if you don't have anything to give back, you get nothing. This, he already learns with the Autobots, because if he didn't have the necessary information, Ratchet wasn't even fixing him. And surely it was already like that even with the Decepticons. Starscream also indeed shot Bumblebee's T-cog, but he had no real malice behind it, in fact the shot practically go off on its own. And, yes, he mocks Bumblebee. But at the same time it's Starscream, we can't expecte from him to have compassion for an enemy.

Airachnid on her side does it for her vendetta against Arcee, nothing else. She just takes pleasure in making Arcee suffer, by threatening her human family: Jack and June. She doesn't gain much, except the pleasure of hurting her nemesis. She is not necessarily looking for a refuge, or an ally. She was planning to betray MECH right after anyway. Because, let's be clear, she has no real reason to hate Arcee that much… Airachnid hurts Arcee more than Arcee hurts her. Except maybe her pride.

Then, both killed robots, but the way to do it is different. Starscream usually tries to kill in one shot. We saw it with Cliffjumper, both in the scene where he kills him, and in the flashback. In episode 1 of TFP, Starscream kills Cliffjumper in one shot, aiming directly at the Spark, he does not seek to make the prisoner suffer.

So yes, it's frankly not cool to kill a prisoner, but the Decepticons are not angels in this series, nor are the Autobots. So it's not necessarily surprising for him to do so. Especially when we're talking about Starscream. Afterwards, we see that he is not necessarily interested in killing an enemy in pain, because in the scene in the past, with the first appearance of Shockwave. Starscream has a multitude of choices to kill Cliffjumper, more or less painful.

He had the choice, but between making suffer Cliffjumper, or make him silent forever, he prefers the second option. He prefers a standard, quick way, a hit claws straight into the Spark.

Even with Wheeljack, if Soundwave hadn't stopped Starscream, Wheeljack's death would have been instantaneous.

When Starscream kills, it's to be effective, he doesn't seem to really enjoy hurting others. Except perhaps with Arcee, but the little desire for revenge must have been just as present as for our dear warrior. But here, too, he wanted to kill in one shot, like against Airachnid with his missiles. But I also add that's he don't hate makes suffer others, he's not a cool bot you know. But, he seems to have a preference of instant kill instead of painful one.

While Airachnid takes pleasure in making his opponent suffer. She never kills them right away, prolonging the fight, or imprisoning them in her webs. Already to put pressure, but also to make his opponent totally at her mercy.

And sorry but, is it me, or does she really don't know what "personal space" mean? It's kinda interresting in fact.Why is she doing this?

Anyway, like I said, you can't really hate her for that, killing in the back or when the enemy is helpless is the Decepticons way in this series (except Dreadwing). But, even there, she does not kill them right away. For example for Breakdown. Well that's technically a case of self-defense, because he was trying to kill her too. But given Breakdown's scream of pain, it clearly wasn't quick. And then you just have to see the state of his corpse! Why cut him up like this?! Clearly, it wasn't necessarily to do so, especially since there was always Dreadwing, which could have happened at any time. Yet she took her time, literally tearing Breakdown apart piece by piece.

Even Megatron is more lenient on this, often giving a quick kill or an effective hit, like against Ratchet. And, for example, he shooted directly into Dreadwing's Spark, without trying to torture him.

And, yes, Airachnid killed Tailgate with one hit, but she had tortured him beforehand, in front of Arcee! Not to mention that she massacred entire species, for her morbid collection, which is super creepy. And, again, apart from showing that she's a psychopath, I don't really see the point of this collection.

So, Starscream and Airachnid are selfish and calculating as I said before, but Starscream mainly uses this as a defense mechanism, whereas Airachnid seems to be aware of it and enjoy it.

We also see that unlike other Decepticons, she shows no signs of empathy, or bonding with others, or even weakness. For example, Starscream has empathy for Breakdown and that's kind of what drives him to save him, beyond orders. He is also disturbed by the state of his corpse with Cylas in it. We also see his weaknesses, or when he doubts, which also pushes the viewer to have empathy for him. As another example, we have KnockOut who is enraged when he finds out what Cylas did to Breakdown. Or Dreadwing, who is a super endearing character because of the love he had for his brother. Even being a Decepticon, he kind of mourns his death. There is also the friendship between Megatron and Soundwave. Just see Soudwave's reaction, when Airachnid tries to betray Megatron. And we have a moment of vulnerability from Megatron when Orion Pax somehow returns, which is what stops him from killing Optimus. While Airachnid is cold, and shows no real emotions. Even Shockwave who is supposed to be emotionless has more than her, and he has a bond with Predaking. We can for example see small affectionate moments between them.

Airachnid has no friendly relationship, even if it's not unheard among the Decepticons: Breakdown and KnockOut, Starscream and KnockOut, Soundwave and Megatron, Megatron and Shockwave, Predaking and Shockwave, Skyquake and Dreadwing, and even Soundwave and Starscream (in a way). Airachnid seems to have only enemies and no friends.

The fact that no character is attached to her or appreciates her, makes that the viewer does not get there either. Major characters like Starscream, Arcee, and even Soundwave don't like her. And they are characters that fans appreciate. So, inside, without realizing it, we don't love her like them.

We don't always understand her intentions, and she seems to take too much pleasure in making others suffer, which makes the viewer unable to appreciate her. We also don't know much about her, especially on an emotional level. In fact, Airachnid isn't deep enough, and doesn't really show any weakness. We rarely see her being scared, sad, or having doubts. Things that you can actually see in the other Decepticons. I think the reason most of us don't like Airachnid is because she seems to us as totally unsympathetic and sadistic to an extreme degree.

Unlike Starscream or even Megatron who don't necessarily seem to take pleasure in hurting or killing. This is also the case with most of the other Decepticons, the only exception being KnockOut against Cylas, but he does it mostly out of revenge. For example even Megatron when he beats Starscream doesn't seems to appreciate it. It's impulsive and out of anger, whereas Airachnid most often does it hyper-premeditated. She's a psychopath, so it's hard for the viewer to get attached to her.

But, it's don't mean that we can't appreaciate her, or that we can't appreciate a character like Airachnid. For example, Overlord, who's kinda like Airachnid, is like by many fans. But the difference is that he shows emotions, even sadness or doubt. Not just joy about hurting people.

All I said doesn't mean she's a bad villain, quite the contrary. If she had been exploited better, they could have easily made her the main villain of Season 3. I made an analyse, where I explain that she's could have been a really cool villain, but that they don't show her full potential, and that her character has not been explored enough : here

If you have others ideas about why we don't like her that much, I would be happy to hear it :).

Hi! Can I request female readers with TFP Optimus from when he lost his memory after defeating Unicron. What if we got to see the team interact with Orion (we were robbed). Maybe the reader is helping him getting accustomed with earth. How about if they were a thing before. How would Orion react?

I hope you like the concept as much as I do. Thanks!

HII !! UGH I DO INDEED LOVE THIS CONCEPT :D

we were in fact robbed when it came to team prime interacting with orion and i shall try my best to deliver !

also, i'm not sure if you wanted a cybertronian or human reader so im gonna go with human reader !

i may have gotten carried away with this 〜(￣▽￣〜)

TFP Optimus Prime (Orion Pax) x Female reader

Summary: The battle was won, yet only pain seemed to follow the victory.

Warnings: none

- sfw , angst , hurt/no comfort

(Divider by animatedglittergraphics-n-more)

You knew something was off when they first called for pick up. It was something about Arcee's tone that put you off.

The sounds of struggling in the background was also cause for concern.

When they're stepping through the bridge, Bulkhead and Bumblebee keeping a tight grip on Optimus, you feel conflicted.

While you're relieved to see that they all made it back safe and sound, there's something in the way Optimus seemed so... uneasy that sit well with you.

When you call out to him, voice quiet and shaky, he looks at you visibly confused.

"Why did you call me that? My name is Orion pax."

You're in shambles. Just what the hell happened down there??

Ratchet is the first to fill the team in, him and Orion taking turns in talking about his past.

You barely register any of it, sneaking away so that you can try and process the new information. It all makes sense, it does, but you can't help the ache in your chest. He didn't recognize you, not even offering that rare affectionate smile that was only for you.

You cried in the middle of the hallway, biting back your whimpers so nobody else could hear you.

A few weeks had passed, and everything was relatively normal. The team had begun to adjust to the new change in dynamics, although an air of dejectedness clung to them. Miko always seemed to have his attention, although it was obvious when the archivist began to get overwhelmed by her questions ("Are you considered a librarian? What was it like? Did you ever steal any books?"). Jack and Bulkhead would be the ones to pull her away.

He seemed to click well with Raf and Jack the best, as the two always indulged in his curiosity and thirst for knowledge about humans and their culture.

You supposed the only good thing to come of the past week was the reveal of Optimus' contingency plan. The 'key to the ground bridge power supply' had turned out to be an ancient Cybertronian relic, which had been left in the hands of Jack Darby.

That served to somewhat quell the ache in your chest.

While that operation was underway, you had been tasked with helping Orion Pax adjust to Earth and giving him the rundown of things. The conversations you had with him were clipped on your end and he seemed to sense that. Despite that, he always seemed to seek you out, politely asking for a moment of your time.

Now, the team was on a constant search for clues to the Decepticon's Space Bridge, but they've been unable to locate it.

If there was an award for asking so many questions within a certain time period, you think Orion would win it. It was like having another Miko around and it was somewhat amusing as it distracted you from your thoughts, but it was also overwhelming. You did your best to avoid any heavy topics, as you didn't want to overwhelm him.

Upon answering one of his questions about team Prim's human allies, you let it slip that you and he were together.

"We're... conjuxed?" He inquires, still trying to process the information.

You shake your head so hard you're surprised you didn't get whiplash because being conjuxed was the Cybertronian equivalent of marriage and the two of you were a long way from that.

"No, no! just dating." Secretly.

That seems to put him at ease, and you let out a small sigh, already beginning to feel exhausted. Nothing is said after, you twiddle your thumbs awkwardly.

"I must be very lucky," He says suddenly, tilting his head down to fix you with a look that takes your breath away, "to have someone as kind and caring as you by my side."

You look away from him, trying your best to blink away the sudden onslaught of tears. It was the other way around; you were the lucky one to have someone like Optimus with you. You were a human being with a life span so short that you could blink, and it was all over.

"Yeah," You say, voice cracking, "totally."

"Are you--"

"I'm fine." You interrupt him, aggressively wiping your tears away. Your phone vibrates in your pocket, and you take the chance to excuse yourself, not giving the archivist enough time to make sure that you were okay.

Orion stands there, in the middle of the main room, wondering what it was that he said that made you so upset. His felt his spark clench at the sight of your poorly hidden tears and he wondered just how deep the bond between you and him was to upset you so much.

⚠️ Spoiler for Earthspark ⚠️

I just finished watching the newest episodes and I can't wait for the rest of them! The show continues to exceed my expectations with how well written all the main characters are shown, especially the Malto family, as well as the plot of each episode that are so engaging to watch, the fight scenes, all it was just MUAH 🥰🥰 (My comments don't go in an order of episodes lmfao)

They've tackled a number of topics normally I wouldn't see it being addressed like racism, xenophobia, generation related trauma (Thrash being upset that the new generation of Terrans are "facing problems caused by the previous generation and the expectations to clean up their messes"), gender identity (how alt modes are very tied to their identity) and omfg they include some other messed up shit like bots fighting in the arena to get energon (Sounds very familiar hmmm) and hint hint of Mandroid becoming more mechanical??? ALSO GHOST IS GROWING EVEN MORE SUS ESPECIALLY WITH AGENT CROFT I HATE HER ALR I WANNA KILL HER

I fucking love Megatron in this show, my god he just usurp Optimus' role as the father here (Or grandpa in this case). I mean, HE TOOK THE MALTOBOTS TO THE WAR MEMORIAL TO TELL EM OLD STORIES ABOUT THE WAR TO TEACH THEM TO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES AS THE PREVIOUS GENERATION AND I 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 (THE FLOWERS BEING A REFERENCE TO IDW WHERE EACH PETAL OF THE FLOWERS REPRESENT A LIFE LOST JUST KILLED ME RIGHT THERE)

AND NIGHTSHADE AND TARANTULAS,,, bunch of science nerds can relate ifhkdnksj,, I would die happy if Tarantulas can make a comeback to see Nightshade again and be his second papa like how Wheeljack is second papa to Twitch 🥺🥺❣️💕

My boy Jawbreaker,, I really love how he wasn't forced to choose an altmode so soon and it just going to get a lot more impactful when he finally scans an altmode that he feels is right for him! He so autistic coded and I luv it when Megatron and Elita explained to him how they got their alt modes and what it meant for them (ELITA SOFTIE MOMENT IS JUST 😭😭💞💕💞💕💞)

God, the dynamic of the Malto bots is just so super wholesome and so tightly knitted, but Twitch grew up too fast,, They all need fucking therapy, especially Hashtag my poor girl 😭

I fucking hate Mandroid with a passion, he's so hateable and punchable and killable

I wont be talking about that mutatued horror of a bear also is that fucking allowed in a kids show???

I dont know how, but Bumblebee dangling and restrained while his energon is drained is... Making me feel something. Also, he and Breakdown...

I cried and eyed so hard at that slowed down scene where Breakdown through Bumblebee and they both starin at each other like... 👁👁🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈?

ALSO, FIRST MEGATRON GOT RESTRAINED AND ALMOST GOT HIS ARM CUT OFF, NEXT BUMBLEBEE IS RESTRAINED WHILE BEING DRAINED OF ENERGON TO FUEL THE MACHINES, WHO THE FUCK IS NEXT???

Now....

I am a huge Optimus stan, so I have a bit of bitterness at the fact that throughout 11-18, he was barely involved. Like

WHERE DID YOU GO???

WHERE WERE YOU???

DID YOU SUDDENLY RUN OFF TO FIND MILK???

God, I love Optimus as a whole, even in this show but he seems so... Distant? I mean, I'm not hating the writers and animators for the lack of Optimus screentime, it's just me being a bit salty (Though I am a Megatron simp too at this point so my thirst has been at least quenched by him). I really hope there's more screentime of him (Especially him and Megatron becuz first few episodes the both were lowkey 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈) and we get a bigger picture of his role in the show in the future episodes. He barely talks to the Maltos and the Terrans, he's barely seen anywhere in the recent episodes, hell where the hell was he when the jailbreak happened???

Tldr; Love the show so much, but where's fucking Optimus

My Favorite Human Characters In TFP

(and i dont like human characters in transformers lol)

Soooo, I don’t really like humans in Transformers. I came to watch/read about giant transforming robots who are like humans but still an alien species, why would I care about the humans when I can see humans anywhere? I do understand that the humans played a huge part in TFP but I still don’t really like them.

Nonetheless, here is my list from most favorite to least:

1.) Agent Fowler (He’s my favorite and I honestly don’t mind him! He actually had a reason to be there as a government official unlike the children and he’s pretty funny at times. He’s an enjoyable human character, imo!)

2.) Silas (Yes, we all hate him but come on… He made the show so interesting by giving us so many episodes. Breakdown rescue, Airachnid teaming up with M.E.C.H, Nemesis Prime, the human factor, Thirst… For the amount of episodes he gave us, he gets to take second place.)

3.) Rafael (Genius children exist irl so I guess that’s fair but how the heck does he understand Bumblebee? Cybertronians are forged knowing their own language, nobody taught them like how we need to be taught. Rafael never even met one but he understood Bee immediately. Yes, I know Ratchet was teaching him Cybertronian but that was way after he met Bee. I feel it would have been kinda better if he was techno-organic but then again, that would raise even more questions than him just being a human that can understand. Anyways, I liked his personality and his style was the most unique imo. If I recall correctly, the TFP art book said they were supposed to be hand-me-downs since he had a lot of siblings? He was good to help us see Ratchet’s softer side but still, why are the kids there. Anyways, Raf is relatively likable.)

4.) June (She’s only there cause the kids are there, she doesn’t really have a purpose in the show besides Fowler crushing on her.)

5.) Jack (I just find him boring, honestly. I feel it’s just meant to be “oh look!!! he’s a honorary prime!!! Not entertaining but not unbearable either.)

…

6.) … Miko (I’m not even going to get into why because this was post was supposed to be brief and I would be typing for awhile. I’ll probably make a full post about it one day. However, she is awful. She is unbearable. I don’t think I’ll ever like her character.)

That’s my list. However, I have two conflicting thoughts on the human characters. Perhaps if they went more in depth with them and their lives then I’d find them to be more interesting but at the same time, I don’t wanna see anymore damn humans lol. I’m here for the Cybertronians. Seriously, the kids were more in danger hanging out with the Autobots, especially now that the cons know they have close bonds with their human friends. If the kids had just went on their own separate ways, the cons probably wouldn’t even bother after the 2nd time. I can’t lie tho, I would want to chill out with the Autobots too lol

The thirst for Sexwave knows no bounds, but gotta give Bumblebee credit for a solid second!

Gotta love some Soundwave being all tender and concerned about reader, so here, have some fluff! Soundwave struggling with all his feelings is just fun to write tbh...

Soundwave x Reader

Decepticons rarely lived pleasantly on Earth, as their primary means of survival was avoiding humans who covered all but the most isolated and brutal portions of the planet, but their Cybertronian hardiness meant most could endure extreme conditions without much danger.

Unfortunately, you as a human allied with said Decepticons didn't possess such luck. You'd fallen ill after one too many exposures to cold and rain, forcing the Con in your company to take drastic measures to keep you safe while he searched for the help you needed.

Between the fever and the countless miles of travel you weren't quite sure where he'd taken you, but the time spent snuggled under a load of blankets in his warm cockpit had been nice enough that you didn't care where you'd ended up. The endless frozen wastes and sparse buildings led you to believe somewhere up far to the north, but the Con had found a secure enough bunker and rigged up an effective climate control device by your tiny cot, so you didn't care about the specifics. All that really mattered now was that he'd been gone long enough for you to drift in and out of a feverish sleep multiple times. That still worried you, even if he often went out for similar stretches in the past. It was impossible not to fear for his capture every time he left your side...

Metallic clanks echoed up the tunnel to the outside world, and you snapped awake as the rumble of the bunker seal opening and closing quite literally shook the sleep out of you. Though still exhausted and delirious, you recognized the patter of approaching Cybertronian footsteps straight away, and relaxed when you noted two familiar walking patterns; one with two pedes and one with four.

A Felicon bounded into the circular cement room and came to a halt with a skid, metallic claws sending up a brief shower of sparks before two bright red optics focused on you. Carrying a pouch between his sharp teeth as delicately as he could, Ravage approached you with a tentative sniff, looking you over as he always did after you'd fallen ill. Not entirely coherent, you smiled and put up a hand to meet his muzzle.

"Glad to see you too." you greeted, allowing your heavy head to rest on the pillow as the Felicon sniffed your hand and endured the brief petting quietly. He moved aside when Soundwave entered the room, a literal crate of supplies tucked under an arm. Brushing some of the lingering snow and ice from his armor, the mech dropped to his knees beside your cot, checking you over for a fraction of an instant before he got to work. Cracking open the crate with his claws, he pulled out what appeared to be enough medical supplies to stock a small clinic.

"Medical equipment; acquired." he said in recognition of the obvious, focusing his attention on a kit that appeared to be full of medication for every kind of human illness. You doubted the owners had parted with so much willingly, and couldn't help but hope no one had been squished to provide these.

"How did you...?"

"No casualties to report." Soundwave answered, firm but calm enough that you believed him fully. Organizing his haul into piles by category, he surprised you further when his claws delicately plucked a bag of food from a thick thermal wrapping, allowing you to catch a whiff of the first hot meal you'd encountered in weeks. You couldn't even imagine how he'd acquired such a thing, and no explanation was forthcoming once he finished organizing everything. "Supplies fully restocked and expanded."

Ravage ensured his bag was added to the pile before he settled at your side, offering warmth and comfort as Soundwave gingerly handled the bag of food before laying it down in front of you.

"Rations overdue." he instructed with an obvious desire for you to eat, unable to hide the tiniest hint of uncertainty in his voice as he sat back on his heels. Understanding what he meant, you happily complied, hungry and quite touched by the gesture.

"Thanks, Soundwave." you croaked as you unwrapped the still steaming meal, your exhausted body beyond thankful for some much needed nourishment. The comment made the bot pause, his helm lowering a fraction of an inch as he briefly averted his gaze to mumble his reply.

"Gratitude... unnecessary.'

Ravage made a sound that more resembled a snicker than one of his usual growls, and only wiggled his tail in the picture of innocence when Soundwave fixed him with a hard stare.

Bumblebee (Transformers) Chapter 5

“No…”

You were quite literally running for your life. When you saw that giant robot show up, you weren’t sure what to think. You’d only manage to get a brief look off its silhouette in the darkness before you forced your body to move. You were just barely navigating your way through the junkyard. You couldn’t see a thing.

You just chose a direction and took off.

But you knew it was following you.

It had to be. You could feel the menacing energy like a cloud over your head.

The lights flickered, and when they blinked back on, you swore you’d never been happier. You were further into the yard than you would have liked, but you could see the exit. If you could just make it to your car, maybe you could survive this.

“Do you really think you can run from me, human?”

Your blood ran cold, and you didn’t even have a chance to turn in the direction of the voice. It shot a missile at the car right next to you, and the explosion sent you flying a few feet in the air in the opposite direction. You cried out in fear. The second your body hit the ground, you could feel the pain hit you tenfold. You’d landed harshly on your shoulder, the sickening crack of bone echoing in your ears. You cried, rolling over on the other side to elevate the pain. Your arm was definitely dislocated.

“How satisfying, it seems you are already incapacitated.”

The trembling sound of his feet getting closer increased your panic. You should have gotten up, forced yourself to. Your legs were still functioning. Surely if you just made it away from this monster you would survive. You could live.

You tried to get back to your feet, you really did, but it was useless, because now the metal giant was standing over you, and the horror on your face must have been entertaining to him.

“Were you the one who sent out the beacon? Where are the autobots!! WHERE IS PRIME!!”

All you could do at that moment was cry. Has your thirst for knowledge of the unknown really led you to death?

“Useless worm.”

It lowered its arm, and when you saw the canon forming, you said every prayer you could think of.

“Please...please don’t..”

The tears were rushing down your cheeks, and when the heat of the canon became present, you closed your eyes waiting for the inevitable. A shot did go off, just not from where you expected. You jumped when the monster over you was sent crashing into a pile of cars. A noticeable hole is now present in its shoulder. Your heels dug into the dirt as you tried to force yourself upright. You could feel the heavy steps of more robots behind you. When you lifted your head, a red and blue painted machine crossed your view. This one was sporting a sword in hand as he flipped in the air, landed in front of you.

“(Y/N)!!”

When you heard Sam’s scream, you thought for sure you were imagining it.

“S-Sam…”

He was running in your direction and there was another large robot following behind him. The bright yellow paint was hard to miss. For a moment you considered if you’d become delusional. Maybe the pain was clouding your mind. When he finally got to you, he helped you to your feet, taking notice of your right arm that was hanging low.

“I got you. We’re here. We’re going to protect you.”

We.

Who were we?

Your eyes drifted back, just in time to see the bigger robot draw a sword. The yellow one tackled the monster that had attacked you, holding down its arm as the other ran his sword right into the robot's chest. It twisted the blade, and pulled it out viciously. When you say the light drained from its red eyes you should have felt relieved. But your mind and body were fighting a battle of control. You pulled away from Sam screaming.

“No…no..no NOOO!! IT’S GOING TO KILL US SAM IT'S GOING TO KILL US!!”

He was alarmed at the outburst. You were fighting against his hold as you screamed and Bee’s eyes turned to you. Lennox and Epps were not far behind with Ironhide. They rolled up just as they saw the scene of your screaming and pleading for your life.

“DON’T HURT ME DON’T HURT ME!!”

Your yells continued and Sam was not sure what action to take.

“We need to calm her down.” Optimus advised. He grabbed the leg of the Decepticon to tow away.

“I-I don’t know what to do…”

Sam was still battling to hold you down and when Lennox walked over, he gave a somber look, slipping something out of his pocket. He bit the cover of the needle off as Epps held down your hands. Sam was stunned when they injected whatever it was into your neck. Your thrashing came to a slow stop. Your words dying out as you continued to let out desperate pleas. Your body sagged and Lennox caught you, lifting you into his arms.

“What did you give her!” Sam demanded.

“A sedative. You saw her reaction.” Lennox wasn’t exactly a fan of drugging people, but in this situation he had no choice.

“I saw this a lot in war. Get used to it kid. We ain't playing house. This is a battlefield. As long as those decepticons are running around everyone is in danger.” Epps words were harsh, but true. A few years ago his biggest worry was surviving high school.

Sam watched your unconscious body solemnly. He was still trying to process what had happened.

“We have to get her back to the hanger. If we take her to the hospital they’ll think she’s crazy.” Bumblebee stood over, looking at you sadly. He felt like he’d failed in every sense of the word.

“We’re best friends.”

Your words ran through his head, and you clenched his hand. Optimus took notice of the defensive position.

“There was nothing you could have done, Bumblebee." Optimus’s words didn’t help much.

He just hoped that on the other side of this, you would survive.

writing game!! on my usual colors shit.... uhh crimson amber merigold clay emerald teal lilac!! if not these than any colors :)

Game: send a word and if it appears in a WIP, I’ll post the relevant line

Lilac (not the color unfortunately but the flower!) plus the color green

A bumblebee landed beside Aerin’s hand. She tilted her head, her smile was an odd thing. The smell of lilac was strong in the warm air. They would die soon, she thought, the scent would be gone and the thickets would be nothing but green catching brambles.

White

From the front windows she had seen an approaching rider from some distance away, white horse half hidden in shadows. But she cannot remain at the front windows forever. No one had come so near the house since that night that lone figure had ridden so close but she knew others had approached from a distance, watching or waiting. She watches them back when she can and wonders frequently if her household will be in more danger if they see her or if they think they go unnoticed.

Copper (again, not the color I’m sorry)

No footsteps and no light and what food he may have been given so long gone he must bite his tongue if he wishes for a new sensation. He wakes with the copper of blood coating his tongue and throat, his thirst greater than before.

There actually was something for marigold but it was part of nonfiction about potential medicinal plants so

Istredd recs

Here are some Witcher recs of Istredd with Geralt and a few stories with Yen 'cause I love Istredd a whole lot!

Geralt/Istredd

Alright, let me tell you about @brighteyedjill 's series Collaborative Scholarship, because this is 100000% my jam.

Research Methods (5,302w. Explicit) features Istredd enlisting Geralt to retrieve some arachas eggs. Of course Istredd discovers Geralt’s unorthodox method of collecting the eggs via oviposition. What you need to know about this fic is that Geralt and Istredd are complete and utter NERDS. And adorable. The story is also incredibly sweet and endearing and god, the banter is so good.

Advanced Study (5,589w. Explicit) is where Istredd gets fisted by Geralt and it’s so fucking cute and dorky and nerdy and hot. The Istredd POV is just absolutely exquisite the entire way through. Denial, cute horny thirst, nerdy. Geralt is dry and funny, but also nerdy and sweet. This fic really does have everything for these two.

The Scholar in the Ruins by @bittylildragon. (9,944w. Explicit). Istredd enlists Geralt’s help with some wraiths at some elven ruins. THIS IS SO SOFT. Like!!! Geralt has such low self-esteem but he ends up having such a good fucking time with Istredd. They're so soft. I adore the way Geralt tries to understand Istredd’s motivations about the elves and how Istredd manages to surprise and disarm Geralt with his sincerity and charm. This fic is a joy to read. (Also it is incredibly hot!!)

The Giant Bumblebee (1661w. Teen) by C_hawk. Istredd saves Geralt from bleeding out and Geralt returns the favor by helping Istredd look for a monster of interest. This is a cute, banter-y fic that sends me in a happy tizzy because their dynamic is hilarious and lovely. I'm smitten with how Istredd doesn't really know what to do with Geralt.

The Thing You Loved (1057w. Teen) by @brighteyedjill. Istredd gets kidnapped! ISTREDD WHUMP. ISTREDD WHUUUUUUMP and Geralt. I adore thiiis fic, I ADORE THIS. This is more Istredd whump than just slash but it just sets off happy firecrackers in my brain because their dynamic!! Is so good!!

points of the same star (468w. Mature) by and_a_dash_of_Angst. This is a great smutty ficlet with some bondage and d/s vibes. The twist at the end is AMAZING!!

If You Go on Like This (4582w. Teen) by @brighteyedjill. Geralt rescues Istredd and they learn a little about each other along the way. I. ADORE. THIS. God… I could just eat up this pairing all day long forever. Jill manages to build up their dynamic so subtly, slowly, delightfully and I am in LOVE. This is more of a Geralt & Istredd situation instead of the slash but ooooh, so delicious.

as flies do by flirtygaybrit (7020w. Teen). Geralt shows up to the conclave of mages on Thanedd and finds an potential ally in Istredd. The ongoing metaphor in this is superb, and Geralt’s humor is just absolutely spectacularly hilarious and dry and witty. ALSO. Omg! Istredd’s first line in this fic: “I can’t say I’d be any richer for being accused of ogling a witcher’s backside.” It only gets better from there. Their dynamic!! is top fucking incredible! If you love delicious imagery and prose, please check out this fic. It’s mindblowingly good.

Yennefer/Istredd

One Last Thing, Before I Go (3283w. Mature) by @arse-blathanna. Alright, so this is a sad Istredd and Yen get back together and breakup again, so it’s painful and ache-y in the most exquisite way. I love this Yen POV and it’s so difficult to let go of that first love. They don’t really fit together in the same way anymore, but they’re trying...even though it’s not enough. So if you’re in the mood for some angst, this is a fic you want punching you in the heart. 😭❤️

A Little Chaos (1223w. Mature) by @brighteyedjill. Istredd and Yennefer. Whumpily sweet sex pollen that is so lovely and emotionally satisfying.

Come Back For You (2:52) by me, @kuwdoravids. This is my Yen/Istredd, Istredd/Geralt, Istredd/History fanvid. Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I say I would be the one to make you feel this way. The love and pain of caring for another person (and about history!). Moving through the shit to be there because that's just what you have to do. Even though people aren't really listening to you. Come for Istredd's gorgeous face, stay for the vibes and feelings!

Phase Three: Power of the Primes

For the final phase of my hypothetical Transformers series, the autobots and ascenticons have joined forces to stop the Unicron empowered decepticon empire. With a nearly bottomless supply of combat drones and an unquenchable thirst for conquest, the enemy will prove tough to defeat. The only hope for victory is gathering lost artifacts and weapons from the age of primes. And maybe the a few of the original thirteen as well. The majority of the story will focus on this galactic scavenger hunt, encountering factions and cybertronians of all shapes and sizes. All culminating in a final battle for Cybertron. I’d also include an epilogue miniseries of this hypothetical series to tie up any loose ends, like what happens to the Unicron Matrix and who’ll lead this new era of peace.

Here is the previous part:

The newest primes: After sustaining critical injuries by both Megatron and Galvatron, Optimus will need months in a CR chamber before he can fight again. He has passed the matrix of leadership to three young warriors to share. These New Primes, with aid of Starscream and his ascenticons, shall lead the charge for both the autobots and maximals against the decepticons.

Captain of the Lost Light: Rodimus Prime. It was easy to dismiss Hot Rod as the typical turbo revving young punk. Overly confidant in his abilities, impatient, and reckless. But behind the loud ego and daredevil antics lies a charismatic bot with genuine care for the lifeforms that the autobots defend. Often labled as ‘The common people’s autobot’ for the humanitarian aid he offers with his crew of misfit autobots, the one thing he loves more than fighting evil is helping the innocent. While the weight and responsibility that the title of prime brings has given him the most self-doubt of the three new primes, Rodimus pushes through and inspires all that are around him.

Alt mode: Futuristic sports car.

Inspiration: G1 and IDW Rodimus Prime

Notes: The Lost Light crew would be smaller in size, given that there are already a good number of characters already established.

Maximal commander: Optimal Primal. Despite having the least amount of experience in warfare and being captain of a mere exploration ship, the young Primal taken to the fight against evil with gusto. A more down-to-earth commander who respects both allies and enemies, he knows who’s best suited for certain missions and to never underestimate an opponent. His greatest weakness is a lack of patience, often becoming frustrated by the personality flaws of his comrades. But once he gets his temper cooled, Optimal Primal’s tenacity in combat and never-go-offline attitude is unmatched.

Alt mode: Bio mechanical gorilla

Inspiration: Beast Wars/Machines and Rise of the Beasts.

Notes: Unlike Optimus and Megatron’s past friendship being complicated and somewhat tragic, Primal and beast Megatron absolutely hate each other. (Even before the crew of the darksyde went rouge)

Scout and autobot recruit trainer: Goldbug. Despite being one of the youngest, Bumblebee was the golden standard for Autobots everywhere. Scrappy in a fight, brave in the face of danger, and even respectful towards his elders. Well-liked for his lighthearted and energetic personality, it was a shock to most when he decided to become a trainer for new recruits. While the scout sometimes feels irked that others still see him as a sparkling, he still gets along with others faster than any other friendly autobot can. Of course, becoming a prime as Goldbug helps out your self esteem too.

Alt mode: Cybertronian volkswagon beetle (Similar to his WFC/FOC alt mode)

Inspiration: G1 Goldbug and Earthspark Bumblebee

Notes: I’m honestly surprised we haven’t seen Goldbug in anything significant for a while.

The new decepticon empire: With a new clone drone army, the cosmic power of Unicron, and the planet Cybertron reformatted into a gargantuan battleship, the decepticon empire has reached new heights in their conquest for galactic tyranny.

Commander of Predacons and manipulator of the dark matrix: Megatron. Hailing from the future age of beast machines, the impressionable Galavar was completely radicalized by the writings and conquests of Megatron. Virtually unmatted in his hatred for organic life and his pride as a cybertronian, he has changed his name to that of his idol and wishes to work side-by-side with him. This Megatron is a master schemer and a boastful theatric, willing to rip apart space and time itself to ensure victory. After being upgraded by the dark matrix, his ego and wicked machinations have increased tenfold. While his tendency to overdramatize the war can come off as comedic, this bot is truly the legacy and epitome of all the original Megatron’s philosophies.

Alt mode: completely metal dragon. (Previously bio mechanical t-rex)

Inspiration: Beast Wars/Machines Megatron

Notes: A common theme in my hypothestical TF series would be radicalization. What happens when someone loses themselves to an ideal, especially if that ideal isn’t good to begin with. Beast Megatron would be the centerpiece of that, the logical extreme of the Original Megatron’s belief of Peace Through Tyranny.

Decepticon “leader” and commander of the drone armies: Galvatron. At first glance, Galvatron merely seems like an upgraded Megatron with a more powerful cannon and a sword made of dark energon. But a closer examination reveals something more unhinged. His manical laugher while tearing apart opponents resembles that of a giggling child. His expressions are that of pure, wide-eyed glee instead of hatred. It’s as if Megatron had turned into a toddler after Beast Megatron gave him his upgrade. The reason behind these changes in behavior is deceptively simple. After eons of trying to conquer the galaxy and to never again be a servant to another species, Megatron finally got the power he so desperately craved. Unlike Megatron, Galvatron is happy. He might still be the official leader of the decepticons, but he’s little more than a mad dog chasing his own tail while Beast Megatron rules over cybertron.

Alt mode: Cybertronian artillery cannon.

Inspiration: G1Galvatron.

Notes: Beast Megatron still sees Galvatron as his equal but understands to some extent that the power he bestowed upon him has altered his mind.

Lead scientist and Cybertron preservationist: Shockwave. Originally famous for being the cocreator of the cure for cosmic rust, Shockwave’s occupation as decepticon lead scientist has shown everyone his true colors. A being of pure logic, he views the cybertronian race as the most superior lifeforms in the galaxy and wholeheartedly agreed with Megatron’s philosophy of might makes right. While the scientist believes he could be a more pragmatic leader, he also understands that he was nowhere near strong enough to truly usurp Megatron. So, he plotted and bided his time, waiting for Optimus to kill him so that he could take command. He takes no remorse in those he experiments on and excels at designing devices of mass destruction. If there is one thing that outweighs his cold logic and disregard for life, it’s the preservation of Cybertron. Shockwave’s feelings on his home planet being turned into a battle station and a massive target are mixed. Perhaps his desire to protect Cybertron will outweigh his loyalty to his commanders.

Alt Mode: Cybertronian research aircraft. (Shockwave’s Siege toy)

Inspiration: G1, IDW, and aligned Shockwave

Notes: Very much at his peak “If you idiots don’t get your shit together, I’m gonna cause problems”. While he’s on thin ice with our heroes, his overall villainy would be turned down a peg here.

Scientist and social experimenter: Tarantulus. There are mad scientists with amoral experiments, and then then there’s Tarantulus. Depraved, cackling, and devoid of anything that resembles sympathy. He gleefully tests on anyone unfortunate enough to get trapped in his webs and even eats them once he’s finished. The cannibalistic spider sees everything as a social experiment, delighted to see what others do in extreme circumstances. While not loyal in the traditional sense, he’d gladly betray anyone just to see the resulting aftermath, he serves beast Megatron and Galvatron knowing that they are the ultimate extreme. Their wrath across the galaxy will create such interesting results.

Alt Mode: Bio mechanical Tarantula.

Inspiration: Beast wars and IDW Tarantulus.

Notes: The maddest of mad scientists. I enjoyed his role in Earthspark, but I think he works best in his original form.

Communicantions officer and spy master: Soundwave. The cold and stoic spy master of the decepticons is a mystery to most. No one knows where his unmatched loyalty to Megatron came from, though some claim it’s because he taught him to control his then-unstable mind reading powers. However it happened, he has become one of the most dreaded decepticons in existence. Blackmail towards would-be usurpers and whistleblowers, assassinations of high ranking autobots and organic leaders, the covert destruction of entire societies, nothing is too low for Soundwave. Not even his minicon subordinates are safe, any hint of treason is noted and scrutinized. No matter how vile his master becomes, Soundwave will be by his side and remove any obstacle that gets in his way.

Alt mode: Cybertronian Stealth bomber. (His Siege toy)

Inspiration: G1, Aligned and Bits of IDW Soundwave

Notes: Do you guys ever wonder what Soundwave would do to his cassettes if one or more of them betrayed Megatron? I’d explore that, and up his villainy, if given the chance.

Predacon lieutenant and stealth fighter: Terrorsaur. Of all the predacons that crewed thew darksyde, Terrorsaur was the most unliked. This isn’t because he’s more sadistic or ruthless than the others, although he does enjoy hurting and frightening his opponents. It’s because he’s a petty and mean-spirited bully. He delights in throwing his authority around and verbally insulting those below him. Whether it’s a failed mission or a physical abnormality, he will berate and belittle anyone that won’t fight back. While he prefers to rain fire down from above, Terrorsaur also specializes in stealth takedowns.

Alt mode: Bio-mechanical Pteranodon.

Inspiration: Beast wars/IDW Terrorsaur and original toy bio.

Notes: I loved the added jerkassery IDW added to his character in their short lived comic series, turning him from a Starscream wannabe to a bully you love to hate.

The Thirteen Primes: The first cybertronians ever created by Primus. Despite their power and reputation as worshipped beings, whose level of mythical qualities are often debated among cybertronians, they were as flawed and personable as any regular cybertronian. Most merged with Cybertron’s core and found peace in the Allspark. The remaining Primes are scattered throughout the stars, either hidden or aiding cybertronians under different aliases.

Warrior of light and the warrior spirit of Primus: Prima. The de facto leader of the thirteen primes and wielder of the star saber, Prima was a white knight in every sense of the term. Virtuous, noble, and self aware enough to not be pompous about it. While he trusted his siblings and appreciated their contributions, he always took too much weight on his shoulders. His greater good mindset and moral purity made him difficult to deal with, especially with his more emotionally flawed siblings. Despite this, he was one of the purest warriors and a dependable friend when needed.

Alt mode: Cybertronian muscle car.

Inspiration: Aligned Prima

Notes: Rejoined with the core of Cybertron. Gives off oldest-brother-in-big-family energy.

Guardian of time and the objectivity of Primus: Vector Prime. A serious and stoic personality given the unique artifact known as the blades of time, Vector understands the importance of his role and doesn’t take any of his duties with reluctance. Of all the original thirteen, he was the hardest to get along with due to his elitism and view of correctness. Primus was always right, so that must mean the thirteen could never be wrong. After the age of primes ended and his stubborn beliefs proved to be wrong, he made his duty of protecting the timeline and physical reality of their dimension into a full-time job. The years of isolation and fortification of the time-space continuum have softened his harder edges, and he even makes an effort to visit his siblings whenever he can.

Alt mode: Cybertronian hovercraft with clockwork detailing

Inspiration: Aligned Vector Prime

Notes: Vector is NOT happy with the time traveling maximals and predacons altering history. It takes a good deal of effort to keep the very fabric of reality from going nuts.

Records keeper and the memory of Primus: Alpha Trion. A calm and thoughtful soul, Alpha Trion is more of a thinker than a fighter. His wisdom can come off as enigmatic and even rebellious, but there’s no better mentor for a sparkling cybertronian. With his artifacts, the Covenant of Primus and the Vector Sigma supercomputer, he charts an objective history of the cybertronian race and all their endeavors. Being the only (known) original prime to stay on Cybertron, he has seen his world rise and fall throughout millennia. No matter who was the newest prime or what faction ruled, Alpha Trion will always choose the side of freedom and righteousness.

Alt mode: Cybertronian hovercraft

Inspiration: Most incarnations of Alpha Trion.

Notes: Alpha is the one who sets off the main quest to find the artifacts and living primes.

Forge master and the creativity of Primus: Solus Prime. Responsible for creating the many artifacts and weapons of the primes with her forge hammer, Solus Prime is beloved more for her practical advice and moral support. While she is usually a calm and confident bot, her temper quickly flares at any sign of injustice. At the end of the age of primes, the forge master was blasted by a maniplulated and furious Megatronus. Sobered and distraught, Megatronus used her hammer in a desperate attempt to save her. The result was her spark chamber fusing with her brain module and t-cog, inadvertently making Solus the first headmaster. After leaving Cybertron, Solus Prime took on a new alias known as Giftshop. Becoming a bit of an eccentric coot in her old age, Giftshop only creates cutesy knickknacks and tools for nonlethal subduing. Solus has sworn off creating weapons and makes no exceptions.

Alt mode: Cybertronian motorcycle with side car full of nicknacks.

Inspiration: Aligned Solus and a bit of my own added headcannon.

Notes: No longer will Solus be a historical footnote instead of a fully fledged character.

The first minicon and the conscience of Primus: Micronus Prime. Considered to be the moral center and the most light-hearted of the original thirteen, Micronus Prime had bouldless energy and a clever mind. He could impart a fraction of his energy upon the thirteen using his artifact, the Chimera Stone, directing his own energies into a form that suited their needs. Many have tried to replicate the energy transference of the chimera stone with little result, but this ability is found commonly among Micronus’ direct descendants, the minicons.

Alt Mode: Shield.

Inspiration: Aligned Micronus.

Notes: Rejoined with Cybertron’s core.

Master of the elements and the sympathy of Primus: Alchemist Prime. Straddling the line between science and mysticism, Alchemist Prime views himself as a humble student of the elements. He possesses the ability to transmute metals and temporarily alter the properties of any object, although he mostly uses this capability and his mastery over chemistry to create various intoxicating beverages. A friendly and compassionate bot, he couldn’t bear to leave Cybertron or rejoin its core like most of his other siblings. He believed that all cybertronians should have at least one place to rest and drink, despite what they might believe. Under a new alias, he opened up Maccadam’s Old Oil House. Even after the new decepticon empire took over the planet, the mysteriously mobile bar remains neutral ground for all who enter. Thanks to his artifact, the lenses, he understands every side to every story. Sympathetic, even-tempered, and a reliable shoulder to cry on.

Alt mode: Cybertronian tanker truck

Inspiration: Aligned Alchemist Prime and Cyberverse Maccadam.

Notes: Definitely one of my favorites of the thirteen.

The first combiner and free spirit of Primus: Nexus Prime. Made up of five component bots, all sharing the same mind, Nexus Prime was all about change and mutability. Despite his great power and towering height, the combiner was a jovial giant with a great wealth of psychological knowledge. He was fascinated with the mind and how people worked together for a shared cause. Despite joining Cybertron’s core, he lives on through the Enigma of Combination. This nomadic artifact wanders throughout the cosmos, seeking squads and close groups of cybertronians to make into combiners.

Alt mode: Something akin to a Legacy Menasor (Give me some slack, it’s five bots I’m dealing with here.)

Inspiration: Aligned Nexus Prime

Notes: Rejoined with Cybertron’s core. It would be revealed that the Enigma of Combination is not an artifact, but Nexus’ disembodied spark chamber.

The first beast-like cybertronian and the nature enthusiast of Primus: Onyx Prime. Due to his spiritual connection to nature and alien fauna, thanks to his artifact known as the Triptych Mask, Onyx Prime felt somewhat out of place on his mechanical world. While he had illogical and fanciful tendencies, his burning loyalty towards his siblings and allies made him well liked by nearly everyone who called him a friend. After the age of primes, he explored the galaxy to see firsthand the wondrous creatures he saw through his mask. After which, he rejoined the core of Cybertron and likely became the source of the more animal-like transformers.

Alt mode: Mechanical horse or pegasus.

Inspiration: Aligned Onyx Prime

Notes: Rejoined with Cybertron’s core. Closest friend to Megatronus, a fellow outsider among the thirteen.

The first true transformer and the humor of Primus: Amalgamous Prime. Cheeky and bright, Amalgamous Prime was the fun-loving joker of the thirteen. While his humorous nature could push comfort zones, with some of the more serious primes finding him borderline intolerable, he was a gentle and forgiving bot who never held a grudge. His artifact was the first transformation cog, which he used to bestow the ability of transformation onto others. Once the age of primes ended, he took his artifact with him when he rejoined with Cybertron’s core. Now, Transformation was a key aspect of all cybertronians.

Altmode: Cybertronian mine-clearing vehicle. (Bayverse Bonecrusher)

Inspiration: Aligned Amalgamous Prime

Notes: Rejoined with Cybertron’s core. Is it just me, or does his official artwork from the covenant of primus look like bayverse Bonecrusher if you squint?

The brilliant daydreamer and intelligence of Primus: Quintus Prime. While Onyx was the animal lover, Quintus was fully invested in sentient life. The first of Cybertron’s great scientific minds, he constantly sought to prove his theories correct through experimental invention. His perfectionism and active imagination made him hard to work with at times, his idealism of all life being a sacred thing that should flourish made him admired as well. When the age of primes ended, Quintus had Solus forge his artifact before he left Cybertron. With the emberstone, a powerful gemstone that could seed the explosion of living processes in base elements, he sought to create a spacefaring race to aid Cybertron in exploring the galaxy. Sadly, this race would evolve into the greed-fueled quintessons, who would imprison Their creator and set out to enslave his kind. Whether he is dead or not is a mystery.

Alt mode: Cybertronian crawler crane.

Inspiration: Aligned and Earthspark Quintus Prime

Notes: It would be revealed that a guilt-ridden Quintus escaped and went into hiding on earth, the cryptids of the present and mythical beasts of the past being his daydreamed creations. He’d get out of his depressed state thanks to another prime on this list.

The manipulator and the ego of Primus: Liege Maximo. The first cybertronian capable of natural flight and armed with his poisonous legion darts, Leige Maximo’s true power laid in his silver tongue. The epitome of charisma and negotiation, he could talk anyone into his way of thinking. While this ability was a key asset in distracting Unicron from detecting the other primes, it also brought on the end of the age of primes. Ego driven and ambitious, he was the first cybertronian to believe that their species should rule over the galaxy. One by one, he convinced his siblings to turn on one another or take his side. It all came to a head when Megatronus attempted to kill Solus in a fit of rage. His plots revealed and ambitions thwarted, he was forced into the core of Cybertron. While he was never evil at heart and only wanted Cybertron to prosper, his desire for control over things that were uncontrollable made him too much like Unicron for most people’s taste.

Alt mode: Cybertronian jet.

Inspiration: Aligned Liege Maximo

Notes: Rejoined with Cybertron’s core by force. It’s here I should mention that the original primes that rejoined with the core can communicate with the new primes through the matrix. Liege Maximo acts as a sort of devil-on-the-shoulder for new primes, tempting them to become more dominating rulers.

Warrior of darkness and the passion of Primus: Megatronus. While darkness is the opposite of light, that does not make darkness inherently evil. The most complex of the thirteen primes, Megatronus was emotionally volatile but passionate in the fight against evil and injustice. Due to his unstable nature and grim behavior, most of his siblings kept a distance away from him. This haunted him, and Liege Maximo used this to manipulate the dark warrior into the perfect warmonger for the manipulator’s future empire. But when Megatronus nearly took the life of his beloved sister, it opened his optics to the monster he was becoming. Once Liege Maximo was stopped and the dust settled, he became the self-declared fallen prime. He went into exile and has spent millions if years in meditation to control his rage.

Alt mode: Cybertronian tank. (which looks like an old oven)

Inspiration: Aligned Megatronus

Notes: Remember how in a previous post, I said Nova Prime and his crew went into self exile once they were infected with dark energon? It would be revealed that Megatronus mentored these bots in resisting Unicron’s influence and to control their emotions. Also, the fallen prime has SO MUCH secondhand embarrassment for inadvertently inspiring Megatron.

The mediator and the kindness of Primus: Thirteen. The meaning behind the last of the thirteen primes’ peculiar name was deceptively simple. Thirteen united all his siblings and strengthened their bonds without even trying. Quiet and dutiful, the mediator had a gentleness and dedication to helping others that was matched by no one. His artifact was the Matrix, a device that connected his siblings spiritually so that they could always aid each other, even if they were light years apart. Some theorize that Optimus Prime, the greatest of the Matrix bearers, is actually Thirteen reincarnated. But the leader of the autobots has denounced this, saying that he has no memory of being the last of the original thirteen.

Alt mode: Cybertronian Truck

Inspiration: Aligned Thirteen.

Notes: Rejoined with Cybertron’s core. It would be up in the air wether or not Optimus Prime is actually Thirteen for most of the series, or if being a reincarnation of a prime is the same as actually being the original prime.
