because this is an au where everybody is a girl

idk how to draw or even write it yet but Starscream tries to kill Megatron way before the Decepticon movement gets off the ground. just like. on a whim almost. they talk a bit beforehand, maybe know each other a few months or years, and then—Starscream drops her like a rock, no warning. That’s Megatron’s introduction to betrayal. It’s a lesson she doesn’t forget.

actually if Megatron idolizes Orion an unhealthy amount maybe that could parallel or influence/cause Megatron’s later obsessive hate of Optimus. who is this person who almost seems to wear Orion’s face? who is this person who blinds with the same guiding light and yet dares lead somewhere different than Orion? (where has her Orion gone? why does she only have this pale imitation?)

#reminder: nobody knows orion was shadowplayed into optimus prime #the fact they look similar is irrelevant bc a lot of bots come off assembly lines so dopplegangers arent unusual #even optimus doesnt know she was shadowplayed #babble.tag

Megatron, mad: Starscream is unreliable and a hypocrite and you shouldnt give her the time of day

Orion: but she’s really good at her job :(

Megatron: >:(

#maybe megs should get a little possessive of orion when she starts meeting the bots orion works with #like how dare orion know and like anyone else #megatron thought she had something for herself for once but forgot orion is a whole person with a life outside hanging out with megatron #but maybe megatron idolizes orion a little too much. her shining star. a dream of a better world of a good and loving universe #orion is the constellation guiding megatron forward. forever untouchable forever out of reach #babble.tag

hmm. I wonder if Orion should know Starscream.

#since orion is a smuggler and starscream is starscream #they wouldnt be friends but maybe they work together occasionally #not bc star cares like orion does but bc star likes ruining ppl’s days #which includes stealing stuff and blowing things up and orion tries not to know too many of the details of that #babble.tag

#i dont think megs abuses star in this au but they definitely dont like each other and fight abt it #starscream is clever quick and intelligent but she’s just not motivated in the way megatron wants her to be #she doesnt care right #megatron hates it #(also spoilers for the current “ending” but star is the last one there for megs. ironically) #(idk the exact details yet tho its just vibes lol) #babble.tag

[pyra-colony-au]

I keep forgetting so many things in this au, like the fact Megatron is supposed to be a self-taught cityspeaker

#if i wanna push my toxic overmegs agenda i could literally have them in each other’s brains oof #plug and play interfacing could do the same i suppose but like. idk. not a big fan of sex. #although i can frame it as something else if i want 🤔 #its my sandbox #babble.tag

[pyra-colony-au]

dug up our kiddie markers to do another one lol

i dont have the right colored markers rip

i dont have the right colored markers rip

#got a couple small boxes of markers years ago and then never used them oops #also my red has since dried up orz #i should check the others #pharma #sketch

Orion is a smuggler now btw

#like she has an official and decently respectable job (of transporting goods between colonies) but also she smuggles stuff #and people #ive decided #bc she was too passive before i needed her more involved #potentially this is megatron’s introduction to breaking laws for good reasons #as opposed to impactor’s more dubious law breaking #babble.tag

[pyra-colony-au]

need to design Orion and Optimus still. and Sky Lynx.

#orion and sky lynx are besties <3 #babble.tag

[pyra-colony-au]

maybe shoulda looked up mining vehicles before designing mining type robots

#now obviously i have some creative freedom bc aliens but still #need to rework my megs and impactor designs and maybe throw in some npcs/extras for more depth #rin.talks

[pyra-colony-au]

oh btw. idk if any of u are keeping up with the skybound/energon universe but i saw a spoilery panel of soundwave today and im gonna fucking eat the dry wall i love him so much why must he suffer

#im sticking to trades i guess so im gonna be months behind rip #rin.talks #not pyra related

[pyra-colony-au]

eh

#character design is so haaard #actually i like the way she’s going im just. *vague hand gesture* #its more specifically that faces are hard #gotta work on jazz next #sketch

[pyra-colony-au]

somebody left a tag on my evil women overmegs post about how nobody ever draws them together, which same, I think they should be drawn together more often. I even looked on ao3 not that long ago for overmegs stuff and it was. rather thin.

#need some more fucked up evil robot yaoi (or yuri in my case) #babble.tag

[pyra-colony-au]

I like the vibes of this but the composition isn’t quite right…

#composition is the worst! #just let me draw my fucked up toxic overmegs! #i dont wanna redraw it but maybe i should…. #if only i hadnt made overlord so fucking tall that’s the problem #she Looms #ack #wip

[pyra-colony-au]

Megatron really has the worst support system in this au:

Drift: paranoid prickly and jaded drug addict

Starscream: narcissistic asshole with unchecked hubris

Soundwave: so very full of hate

Overlord: evil

it’s kind of hard to grieve properly for broken friendships when the friends you still have are all terrible people :/

#she misses impactor and orion :( #babble.tag
