Soulmate prompt for TFP Megs - where only soulmates can see each other's coloured footprints left by the other on the ground?
Maybe the human gets in trouble/is a nuisance to the Decepticons as they're with the Autobots and only Megs can find them?
PS: Your writing is awesome!
TFP Soulmate Megatron X Reader
You were an absolute menace. You also happened to be Optimus’ charge. A huge reason Optimus was tired all of the time was you. Bulkhead even mentioned that you were worse than Miko. Ratchet sometimes called you ‘Unicron Jr.’ much to Optimus’ dismay.
You happened to excel in creating weapons- specifically bombs. Wheeljack was a good friend of yours, and you often exchanged tips.
Oftentimes, you’d use your weapons and bombs to fight Decepticons when you encountered them. You quickly became enemy number one for the Decepticons, the echo of your violent tendencies towards the Decepticons reaching the leader’s ears.
Megatron was miffed at the news. How couldn’t they kill or capture a single human?! It was pathetic.
Soundwave played back a clip Laserbeak had captured of one of your battles. It was you against five Vehicons. Several times they had almost managed to grab you, but you always pulled out another weapon out of seemingly nowhere.
Megatron was impressed- something he couldn’t say about most of your race. You held your own at your size, and your weapons looked homemade. Some moves you used reminded him fondly of his long past gladiator matches.
“Soundwave. Inform me of the next time you see them on the battlefield. Immediately.”
It wasn’t until a month later they found you fighting again. You were up against a good amount of Vehicons when one managed to hit your side with a shot. You yelled out in pain, alerting your autobot friends to your injury. They quickly began taking on the Vehicons that fought you. You whimpered in pain as you began to stumble away into a nearby cave.
Megatron landed at the battlefield, where Autobots were looking for you while fighting a small army of cons’. Megatron began looking as well. He almost missed it, but he noticed small, glowing red footprints leading into a cave.
Megatron knew exactly what those steps meant, and was shocked. Soulmates were rare. Perhaps a handful of Cybertronians ever got one- and he thought he was one of the majority. Was there a new Cybertronian that he hadn’t met before on Earth?
Megatron followed the footsteps into the cave, and looked up when he heard a click. There you sat, grenade in hand. The old bot merely raised an eyebrow.
“Ah ah, don’t move a muscle, con. If you do, I’ll blow us both up- and trust me, this grenade is a lot worse than it looks.”
“So you’re the famous human, then.” He grins at you. While he’s grinning, his mind is running a mile a minute.
“Famous? You flatter me!” You flutter your eyelashes at him. Megatron can’t help the chuckle that leaves him. You suddenly grow serious. “Now- who are you?”
Megatron can’t help a slight look of irritation on his face. “You don’t know who I am?”
“If I did, I wouldn’t be asking bud.” You held your side in pain as it suddenly throbbed. Blood trailed down your side.
Megatron noticed it almost immediately. “You’re hurt. Come, I will see to it you’re taken care of.” He leaned down and offered a hand out to you.
You laughed loudly at him. “Do you think I’m a fool?”
Megatron was amused. You were smart as well as a worthy opponent. “You’re no fool- but you are injured. So if you truly intend to, human, pull the pin out.” He gestured to your grenade.
Shock coated his face as you do. You laugh at his face. “You caught my bluff. It’s just a backup shell I have.” You dropped it onto the floor and held your side. “Guess you… you win this one, Batman.” You passed out onto the floor a moment later after the bad joke.
He stood there for a moment, thinking about everything. You were definitely his sparkmate- and you were definitely a problem to the Autobot cause. He realized that he had only one choice.
“Soundwave, open a groundbridge to my coordinates.” Megatron gently picked you up from the ground, careful not to harm you further.
“Megatron, release them!” Optimus’ voice shouted at him from the mouth of the cave.
Megatron looked at him from the corner of his eye and made his way through the groundbridge. Immediately he went to Knockout’s medbay. “Knockout.”
Breakdown and Knockout stood at attention. “Yes, Lord Megatron?”
“Fix them. If you fail to, or if you harm them further, there will be consequences. Understood?”
Knockout and Breakdown nodded slowly. They didn’t understand why Megatron wanted a human healed, but they certainly would do what the violent con’ ordered. They immediately recognized you as the human who had kicked their afts before, and made sure to restrain you on the table.
When you woke from your rest, Megatron was there. You went to grab your sidearm, but you found it wasn’t there.
“Ah, you’re awake, sparkmate.” Megatron stood from his sitting position.
“Uh- I’m sorry, what?”
Megatron explained what a sparkmate was. You didn’t believe it at first, but a simple glance at his feet left you no voice but to trust his words.
You were surprisingly treated well on the Nemesis, despite being just a captive. You were technically allowed to leave at any time, as you were told. However you choose to instead get to know Megatron and the Decepticons.
As you learned more about them and their cause, you felt guilt. Some Autobots are just as bad- a lot of them were, actually. You began to become friends with a lot of them- especially Megatron.
As time went on, you managed to curb a lot of his anger issues. His troops were better emotionally. They fought better, and less of them died to Autobots.
You made them promise to never kill the Autobots, to which a lot of them agreed. It was surprising to the Autobots when the Vehicons avoided fatal blows. They only used enough force to stop the Autobots in their tracks. They knew that it had to be you stopping them from using fatal force.
It wasn’t too long before Optimus and Megatron met. Megatron admitted defeat in the war, promising to stop fighting.
“What changed, old friend?” Optimus didn’t really have to ask- it was obvious the little human sitting on his shoulder was the cause for the end of the war.
“A lot.” Megatron then left, you in tow.

Transformers Prime Megatron
I did this challenge because @jangelorum did one with their childhood hyper fixation and I HAD to as well! Here's Megatron from tfp! My fic might be updating soon so 👀🤌✨
Some lore for my fic version!
Megatron in my fic is a few steps away from becoming just as nasty as he is in cannon. He's not a good guy by any means but he's alot more willing to listen than he is in cannon, though it takes a while for things to stick. He's stubborn.
He has alot more scaring and has his old serial number purposely scratched off his neck, though the reminance are still visible.
He has alot of issues with his vents causing him to smoke when he's over worked himself. He's not as spry a fighter as he used to be and is trying DESPRATELY to hide that out of fear of being over thrown and seen as weak.
Anywho! Rant over! He's crusty and I enjoyed this challenge!

Actually, you know what, I'm not done providing my unsolicited opinions on Transformers: Prime.
Specifically, the movie add-on, Predacons Rising. I liked the additional screentime for Predaking and the new Predacon characters (even though the movie was TITLED after the Predacons and they got like two and a half scenes of actual dialogue, but whatever).
I did NOT like the conclusion with Megatron. "I have been on the receiving end of oppression and now I have a change of heart" (paraphrased) that is ridiculous. Did the writers not watch the rest of the series? Do they not know any Transformers lore from basically any continuity I know of, ever? The whole POINT was that Megatron started life as part of an oppressed caste, rose to a higher caste (wherein he literally had to fight for his life to stay in that higher position) and organized a revolution against the upper class. He literally was the figurehead of a goddamn worker's riot and these writers want to say he only recently has been oppressed? Seriously?
If they wanted to have Megatron live on after Unicron left his body (which should have left him a lifeless husk bc Unicron was all that was animating his body, but whatever), what they could have done instead was a shift in perspective/seeing the bigger picture/taking a step back and reflecting. The war had changed by the events of the series such that it seems both sides had forgotten or lost sight of why they were fighting at all. Dying and then being puppeted would have had Megatron literally looking at his actions from the outside. Unicron didn't do much, if anything, in Megatron that he wouldn't have done while he was alive. If we give Megatron any credit, which we should if we're keeping the premise that he isn't pure evil and can have a change of heart, then we can assume he would recognize these facts and reflect.
Maybe the writers meant to have Megatron say that as in he had been REMINDED of his initial oppression and goals, but that is NOT what I got from it.
