When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.

MATT: When I ask for persuasion or deception on your end, when someone's rolling insight on you, that's an opportunity for you to be honest and choose persuasion. That way, when the opportunity does arrive that you are deceiving somebody, the person that's rolling insight doesn't know whether you are or not.

AABRIA: I've taken that from you, by the way. I love that. I was like, persuasion or deception, don't say which.

MATT: Yeah, the player chooses, they just say a number, and then whether you're deceiving or you're not, if you succeed over them, then you get to give the information you want.

BRENNAN: That's slick as hell. And that's what I do now too. Stealing that right away.

MATT: We all steal from each other. Make us all better.

BLITZWING REDESIGN!!!

He tries his best when it comes to designing weapons, but 80% of the time it ends up in disaster usually because of a tiny error.

If you have any questions for him, drop them in the comments or the ask box ;)

(btw the language he talks in on the 3rd picture is German)

The wolf thought itself smart, using the pelt of an old doe. It snuck closer to the deer, unable to keep itself from salivating.

'What a great idea!' It smiled. 'Deer folks are too shy and weak to figure it out! I will surely fool them!'

The buck's ears flicked, unsure, as it watched the weird masquerade. The doe next to him snorted, once, keeping her eyes on the figure emerging from the shadows.

With one swift kick, they bounded away, laughing their soft laugh.

'Did it really think it was going to work? The beast's stench betrayed it far too soon!'

It seems it would take more than superficial looks to fool its prey, in the end.

The Game

Part 2

Warning: manipulation, electricity used for restraining (I have no idea how to phrase this).

"Good mooorning," Hero sings, drawing out their vowels in a tone way too chirping for such an early hour. Villain wonders if they are the psychopath after all.

“What?" Villain blearily turns around, midway through taking a sip of their coffee. They don't have the energy to snarl, opting for a dismissive wave of a hand as they turn back around, ignoring Hero's presence to enjoy their drink. "It could have been good if I didn't have the displeasure if looking at you before I've had my morning coffee."

Hero huffs, unamused at the lack of reaction to their theatrics. But before they can speak again, Villain turns towards them again. "How did you find this place?"

Hero flashes a devilish smile, lifting their hand to show off the handcuffs they are holding. "You’re under arrest." They muse, enjoying this a little too much for Villain's liking.

"Like hell I am," they retort, placing their cup down with a clink. They aren't armed, but that doesn't mean they will go down without a fight.

"Don't make me force you, darling," Hero's voice is much closer now. Villain can feel their breath on the back of their neck, tickling them with a sinister promise.

"You think you can?" They question, standing up to face Hero at a common level. "Let's put that to the test, shall we?"

Hero's smirk is nothing short of sadistic. Oh, how the want to wipe it off Hero's lips. One way or another. But it's too early for that yet.

After a short and rather uneventful tussle and one broken cup - Villain makes sure to curse at Hero for that, since it's their favourite - the cuff clinks around their wrist, the other secured around Hero's to keep them under control. Villain almost breaks character at that statement but catches themself before Hero can notice both of them are exactly where Villain wants them to be.

They are barely restaining the urge to laugh out loud when Hero brings them to their Headquarters, leading them down the stairs towards what Villain assumes are the cells. Their eyes sparkle with anticipation when they pass the double doors, their lips parting in awe at the sight of the equipement they craved held behind tempered glass and layers of laser beams.

Everything was going according to plan. It's almost as if getting an unstable scientist near the most guarded lab in the city was Hero's intention as well. They chuckle, amused at how perfectly Hero played their part in their game, albeit unknowing.

Villain throws their head back, laughing out loud as they are tugged further down the corridor. The cell door creaks open and they are dragged in. Hero takes the cuff off their own wrist and chains Villain's wrists together through the bars of their cage before exiting.

Only when the door shuts with a loud bang does Villain stop cackling. They glance at Hero's smug smile, shaking their head. Their voice is barely a whisper when they speak, leaning in as if to share a secret. "You think you won?"

"I'm pretty sure it's obvious," Hero nods at their restrained hands clasped around the bars and flicks a switch, sending a current through the bars. Villain hisses at the sensation, letting go as their fingers spasm from the shock.

They watch Hero walk away, allowing them to revel in the victory they assumed they had. Once Hero is out of earshot, Villain's face breaks into the widest of grins. Their hands close around the bars, electricity running through them in waves of pain and pleasure.

Oh, this is going to be fun.

Part 2

A/N: based on this amazing request by @thiefofthecrowns. Thank you! I had a lot of fun writing this. I know it's on the shorter side but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless ♡

Resorting to technical language means you are determined to treat the masses as uninitiated. Such language is a poor front for the lecturer’s intent to deceive the people and leave them on the sidelines. Language’s endeavor to confuse is a mask behind which looms an even greater undertaking to dispossess. The intention is to strip the people of their possessions as well as their sovereignty.

Okay so here's my designs for the seeker triplets and Soundwave too.

Starscream is the oldest of the seekers and Thundercracker is the youngest and he lost a leg in the war

All of their back stories are different from the canon.

Feel free to ask any questions about them, I'll answer anything :D
