WAIT WAIT ADDENDUM -- DON'T THE TRANSFORMERS HAVE CONTACT WITH OTHER SPECIES? DON'T -THEY- HAVE MUSIC? ARE HUMANS THE ONLY SPECIES IN THE GALAXY/UNIVERSE WITH MUSIC??

I think we as a fandom are sleeping on how inherently fucking funny and rad it is that tfa Optimus knows about guitars enough to call one an axe and also knowing how to fucking shred one.

This presents two equally fun possibilities:

Scenario 1: Cybertron has a very similar instrument he learned back in his academy days, and learning that translated to guitar skills when he found out they exist.

Scenario 2: after the headmaster episode where bulkhead got him invested in art, he started a deep dive and decided he really liked earth music too, enough to learn how to play a guitar. Which means he likely has a bot-sized one kicking around in his room we've just never seen because it's never been plot relevant until Soundwave rolled in.

In ANY scenario it confirms that Optimus does in fact like earth music as much as bumblebee and bulkhead do, and I think that fuckin rips

Waitwaitwaitwait ... "Bah weep granah weep nini bong" is the Universal Greeting ... So the Transformers language sounds like computer noises ... So Earth synth and techno music is just dada rap to transformers?

Ok. Ok, listen. Hear me out, alright? Cops and Mobs au, right? Optimus is waiting for the bus home after his shift. It's late … aaaand SUDDENLYHEGETSATTACKED! A trio beats him down and mug him, but are scared off when the bus arrives, and the bus driver takes OP to the hospital. The police is alerted. Shockwave finds out. Megatron finds out. Megatron is FURIOUS. Megatron is TERRIFIED. ORION PAX HAS BEEN ATTACKED AND HE'S AT THE HOSPITAL AND HE'S BADLY INJURED AND-

He visits the hospital (with a ridiculously huge bouquet). The hospital staff allows no visitors (on-going investigation, Orion Pax is still unconscious, needs OP's approval before allowing visitors, in case muggers tries to silence him). (Sentinel keeps his identity as Optimus Prime secret.) Megatron visits every day with huge bouquets, OP's room is absolutely filled with flowers it's like a state funeral. OP eventually wakes up and allows Megs to visit. Scars and Angst. Much mushy-mushy.

Megatron wants to find those responsible. Shockwave?/Lockdown? locates them and someone invites them to the club. Knockout gives a show on stage and flirts with the muggers. He invites them to a private room for a private show. They eagerly agree. Knockout lounges on a couch and tells them he's soooo worried, his colleague has recently been attacked and is in the hospital. Oh yes, that little mech in the papers who was mugged by the bus stop? He works here, at MEGATRON's establishment. And not only that, he is Megatron's FAVORITE, his VERY. OWN. special mech ...

... And then the muggers notice cigar smoke drifting in from behind them.

(OP gets lip-booboo, starts to wear a mask to cover it up. Only takes it off when with Megatron.) (Also, I like to imagine Knockout in a sequin dress, a mink, suddenly holding a revolver, and grinning, because these punks just beat up his protégé.)

Tri-Klops' Visor Re-design 2

1. Original 200x. 2. Short hair. 3. Long hair, braided.

4. Long hair, ponytail, bandanna with circlet, non-rotating. 5. Veil, visor with gemstone eyes, rotating. 6. Mask, circlet with three glass/gemstone plate eyes, non-rotating.

7. Veil, mask, visor with gemstone eyes, rotating. 8. Veil, mask with chains and gemstone eye, non-rotating. 9. Mask with glass/opal/moonstone eye, skeleton hands, chains, non-rotating.

10. Long hair, visor, standing rotating circlet with three gemstone eyes. 11. Hood and visor, non-rotating. 12. Long hair, hood, skeleton hands, glass/opal/moonstone eye.

Headcanons:

I do not like Tri-Klops' Icons of Evil comic, but it did contain an interesting tidbit - that Keldor enchanted the visor to keep Tri-Klops subservient. I expanded on the idea and made the visor a kind of slave collar, magically enchanted to prevent Tri-Klops from ever deceiving or betraying his master. Obviously that would become clear to Tri-Klops at some point, so now he's searching for an opportunity when he can free himself from his thralldom. (Obviously he can't just take it off and throw it away, perhaps it is permanently locked to him, or if it's removable he is magically compelled to put it on again, as well as repair it should it break. The only way to break the enchantment is to destroy the visor completely.) The visor can therefore be either a piece of machinery, or magical.

It also makes Tri-Klops much more ambiguous, a wild-card.

Another thought that stuck with me is making it look somewhat crown-like. I imagine that, while Skeletor is the Supreme Overlord of his realm, his lieutenants act as lords of their respective spheres. Evil-Lyn is the Witch Queen of Eternia; Beast Man would be Lord of Beasts; Mer-Man is the King of the Seas, and so on. If I were to re-design them all I would implement some kind of regal symbolism in them to show their status ... and add some appearance of power and influence to Skeletor's court. Tri-Klops' visor therefore has a bit of a crown element, whatever the role you place him in; Forge Master of Snake Mountain, Lord of the Blade, Spy Master, Skeletor's Chief Advisor ... (It also adds that Dark Souls-vibe that I like.)

Anyway, pick and combine the features you like the best, and gimme some suggestions ;)

Mustrum Ridcully as Hogwarts' Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, though.

Early attempts to bump off Ridcully resulted in the ambitious wizard being stabbed with his own knife, having his head repeatedly slammed in doors or being surreptitiously shot with a crossbow.

He owns several hunting crossbows and is much given to using the corridors as a shooting range.

In his experience, anything that couldn’t be disposed of with a couple of whacks from six feet of oak was probably immune to magic as well.

Wizards when faced with danger, would immediately stop and argue amongst themselves about exactly what kind of danger it was.  By the time everyone in the party understood, either it had become the sort of danger where your options are so very, very clear that you instantly take of them or die, or it had got bored and gone away.  Even danger has its pride.

Ponder Stibbons pointed out that they were going into the completely unexpected, and Ridcully ruled therefore that they should be given some unexpected training.

'Are you seriously suggesting that we give out degrees for mere physical prowess?' --- 'No, of course not.  I am seriously suggesting that we give out degrees for extreme physical prowess.'

Early morning runs.

Wow-Wow sauce.

Do you think any Voldemortian curse would stand a snowball's chance in hell?

Or the students either, for that matter.

Just imagine Scorpius wanting to learn more about the muggle world, so Harry takes Scorpius and Draco to the cinema to watch Star Wars or something, and Draco gets totally hooked on old sci-fi movies.
