11 Loss streak Baybeee
I feel so bad for Blackwood and Kahkonen. These boys are playing their hearts out and the bois out front really are failing them :(
Also I found this beautiful play from Kahkonen when he was on the Wild. https://youtu.be/uEJ-iWZoJuQ?si=xiEPaZbnUbqDKf2o
YOU CAN'T OPEN WITH THAT IMAGE AND EXPECT ME TO HAVE ANY KIND OF COHERENT RESPONSE MAN. i'm gonna rally though
imho we're past the point of give the goalies a knife and into the territory of give the goalies all your contract money and a gun. if the d corps dies, they die, and that's on them. and then send kähk and mackblack to caymans and let them be free from all worries and concerns
video. i see now why the wild were so mad that they lost him...ballsy move but beautiful!! god i wish he had literally any defense in front of him so that he could on those little adventures again :/

Back on this beloved OptiTarn TtSG AU now.
This is a major timeskip with lots of things in between but; eventually the Autobots with Tarn in co-command begin to be much more proactive about hunting Decepticons and what's more, looking to the stars. Optimus and he are firmly on each other's side and have settled into a formal relationship and romantic one at this point having done most of the four acts.
Tarn has brought Optimus a new interest. The Colonies.
The SG!Decepticons are disturbed and horrified. They cannot let the Autobots destroy more worlds after what has been done to their own. Megatron has been incredibly guilty over the damages done by Tarn and listened to the stories told by Soundwave as a warning to not let himself fall. They all have nightmares about what Tarn, the Prime's Hunting Hound is his nickname now, did that day and continues to do.
Even formally sympathetic populations are falling under the "New Reforms" and an understandable exhaustion from war.
Starscream laughs that he almost could like Tarn for some of those laws they are implementing in his little takeover if it didn't come hand in hand for his philosophy of peace through tyranny and absolute control.
Soundwave is worried about all of them.
Starscream has been quiet, their Voice not silenced but occasionally whispering with the loss of Thundercracker to one such hunt. He and Megatron have both been focusing on the other but not their own trauma which had made Soundwave sigh in fond worry. They'd propped each other up though and Starscream had accepted the young Nova Storm, newly alone herself, into his and Skywarp’s Trine.
Skywarp is the worst concern. Flamewar for all her lashing out and screaming is voicing her feelings. Skywarp has gone quiet and distant and worrisomely focused on reading every report and studying and picture they get of Tarn.
Even worse are the rumors of the newborns disappearing from hotspots or newly onlined Cold Constructed specially chosen by the Prime and Tarn to form an elite squad. Soundwave suspects he knows exactly who they are and exactly who is missing that Tarn wants to find in the stars and in the places they search.
He evacuated Forestock as soon as he made the connection to the small bot in between the Prime and Tarn in the official photos as "Kaon". He cannot let Tarn get a hold of more people, innocent people, to replay Tarn's own traumas on and mold them like he was.
Any Decepticon he knows Tarn had a special connection to is sent as far away and as securely hidden as Soundwave can make them. He only wishes his spy would leave as well or he could hide away Megatron, perhaps one of the biggest targets.
Soundwave though protects those he can and Lockdown is always willing to help smuggle high value targets off planets to what small havens Soundwave is forming. His goal is to keep escape routes and one day evacuation routes for their entire faction to flee, but he won't leave, none of them will, while there is still hope.
Something Tarn is helping the Prime surgically crush and the Waves blame themselves for entirely.
Soundwave is the one who realizes that something is going give when Shockwave, loud bright and so hopeful, proposes a weapon. They are all shocked and Megatron says, very quietly, "You are not a weapons designer." Shockwave says he is now and they are all concerned and reports come in and after hearing the casualties and atrocities Megatron with a heavy heart agrees they have to attack first and stop this escalation and destroy the space bridge no matter the cost.
He accepts the fusion cannon that Shockwave has presented him with and requests an upgrade.
Ohhh the poor sg Decepticons.
WaitNoNotTheColonies
Yeahhh they're terrified of him. He's capable of such horrific stuff.
Ohh... the cons are taking this hard
.mmnn fuck the kidnapping of well kids.
Good plan Soundwave good plan
And this is how the fusion cannon enters the picture, along with the plan to destroy the spacebridge
