Dear Vector Prime, what would have happened if Dinobot 2 had survived and joined the Maximals on their journey back to Cybertron?

Dear Sempiternal Saurian,

In one reality, Optimus Primal was able to successfully rescue the cloned Dinobot from the Nemesis and carry him to safety, moments before Rhinox’s shuttle obliterated the ship’s bridge and foiled Megatron’s final gambit to win the Beast Wars. Initially, the jubilant Maximals believed that their old friend had somehow returned to life, but were dismayed to find that this was not quite the case. While this “new” Dinobot had indeed inherited some jumbled memories of his genetic template, he also bore the scars—both literal and metaphorical—of serving Megatron throughout the last third of the Beast Wars. Worse yet, he still carried the spark of Protoform X, itself a failed attempt to mimic Starscream’s immortal spark. Suffice it to say, the second Dinobot was a traumatized, empty shell—a living weapon bereft of purpose, forced to work alongside the same ‘bots he’d been conditioned to hate, and perpetually at war with himself as competing instincts vied for dominance. The Maximals quickly learned to give their nominal ally a wide berth, and none of them were particularly enthused when he declared that he would join them on their voyage home, in the hopes that he could find some kind of new purpose on Cybertron.

As in many of the timelines you know, Megatron slipped his bonds during their voyage back to Cybertron, conquered the planet with an army of mass-produced Vehicon warriors, and infected his captors with a paralyzing transformation virus. Thanks to his Transmetal 2 body, Dinobot resisted the virus, but was forcibly devolved back into a simulacrum of his genetic predecessor. Soon enough, Optimus Primal found him, Rattrap, Blackarachnia, and Cheetor; guided by Primal’s supernatural visions, the five ‘bots fled into the depths of Cybertron, and eventually encountered the mysterious Oracle. Dinobot emerged from the computer with a new, technorganic beast mode: a crimson Guanlong with steel-grey plumage, his teeth and claws could easily penetrate Vehicon armor. As he had never truly “known” Cybertron before the Vehicon apocalypse, Dinobot fought not for any kind of higher ideal, or to rescue the populace of Cybertron, but merely to survive; when the Maximals learned that Megatron had engineered the entire disaster and taken control of the planet, Dinobot decided that he hated Megatron more than he hated the Maximals and grudgingly stuck by their fledgling resistance movement, defiantly wearing a modified Predacon insignia for no other reason than to incense his creator.

Already torn between so many states of being, it should come as no surprise that Dinobot struggled to master the art of transformation. Because of this setback, however, the Rattrap of this timeline—who’d already taken a very real dislike to the “cut-rate knockoff”, and could now look down his nose at someone even worse at transformation than himself—never faced the same kind of crisis of conscience that many of his alternate selves struggled with, and learned how to transform by himself. When Dinobot found that “emotional still point” and unlocked his robot mode, he was a mighty warrior indeed: not only could his optics project a wall of telekinetic force to cover his allies and send enemies flying, but his mighty two-handed claymore could also open tectonic fissures and create localized earthquakes. Tormented by his own demons as he was, however, those moments of emotional lucidity were fleeting at best, and Dinobot spent most of his time trapped in beast mode: in his worst moments, the other Maximals had to physically restrain him as his old Transmetal instincts overwhelmed him and he reverted to a feral state of being. Even while trapped in beast mode, Dinobot proved an ambitious and cunning warrior, and he and Cheetor repeatedly butted heads over the position of leader while the Maximal leader was indisposed.

In this timeline, Dinobot’s warrior instincts and animalistic thirst for vengeance helped push Optimus Primal, already convinced that his mission was to revert Cybertron to its primordial organic state, further and further down the road of extremism. Thanks to his influence, by the time that Tankor’s true consciousness reasserted itself and made a play for power, Optimus had already discovered the Plasma Energy Chamber and used it to send an ultimatum to Megatron: leave the planet now, or perish. This time around, it was Megatron who had to go on the defensive; despite these minor changes in the timeline, the end result was largely the same—the clash between the Key to Vector Sigma and the Plasma Energy Chamber resulted in near-deaths for both Optimus Primal and Megatron. The other Maximals realized that their comrade had played a major role in Primal’s death and turned their back on him. While the other Maximals eventually revived Optimus and dealt with the strange Savage/Noble creature, a grief-stricken Dinobot, convinced that he had permanently killed the first being who had ever treated him kindly, buried his higher functions beneath his animal instincts and turned feral, indiscriminately roaming the empty tunnels and savaging any wayward Vehicons who deviated from their patrol routes.

Finally, after many cycles of exile, Optimus Primal—who had dedicated all his time to meditating in front of the Oracle and casting his own sensory net across the planet in the hopes of finding their most troubled comrade—finally reached Dinobot’s sleeping mind and pierced his layers of mental armor. In this shared dreamscape, a jumbled nightmare world of Transmetallized bones and a burning valley—Dinobot admitted that he had no idea who he was. Was he a warrior or a monster? A beast or a robot? A Maximal, a Predacon, a Decepticon? Would he forever toil in the shadow of his progenitor, desperately trying to live a life he’d never known? Or was he nothing but a freak of nature who concealed his monstrous nature beneath the veneer of an honorable warrior?

Inspired by his own recent voyage through the Matrix, Optimus offered his own opinion: just as the Matrix had chosen them to bring nature and technology together into a single, harmonious whole, so too was Dinobot more than the sum total of his origins. He was not the original Dinobot, nor was he Rampage; he was himself, a loyal ally and just as much a part of the Oracle’s grand plan as the rest of the Maximals.

It would take time before the Predacon warrior learned to channel Primal’s sense of balance into his own fighting style as he rigorously trained in private—aided by Primal’s occasional remote coaching sessions—and longer still before he worked up the courage to rejoin the Maximals. When he did, however, he returned not as Dinobot, but as his own ‘bot—he was now Preditron, a courageous and honorable warrior who combined his bestial instincts with the experience of two lifetimes lived. Preditron fought bravely alongside the Maximals in subsequent campaigns, stood by as they welcomed Botanica and Silverbolt into the fold, and made a courageous stand in the final battle against the Vehicon hordes.

Many centuries in the future, long after the Great Transformation that saw Cybertron reformatted into a technorganic utopia, young technorganic Cybertronians still whisper tales of the reclusive Last Predacon, whose immortal spark burns forever. When all else fails, it is said that the Last Predacon will emerge from his secluded jungle home to take young Cybertronians who struggle to master transformation under his wing, and teach them to find the balance within, as he once did himself.

I draw a pen doodle every day until I forget

Day 69(Nice): Octane (Transformers: Generation 1)

Today’s the big day! The funny number! No. Sixty Nine! This day had a lot of pressure, as my siblings and my friends kept giving me ideas ranging from “Optimus Prime with big naturals,” to “Old Man Snake kissing liquid Ocelot, but it’s a Minecraft ocelot.” I kinda buckled under the pressure and defaulted to Transformers.

But, I did keep the day in mind! Hence the choice of Octane, the only Decepticon I know of that has playboy bookmarked. I feel bad for him in the g1 cartoon (I like the loser characters, what can I say) so I gave him a harem. Autobots Lifeline and Burnout, and Decepticons Flamewar, Trickdiamond, and Clobber. But alas, it was all a drunken dream, as Octane is really passed out at the bar at Maccaddams.

Poor dude, he needs tankor to watch his back…

Triple Changers

Triple Changers are far and few, but they exists. There will be tl;drs on the sections with warnings.

Enjoy

Disclaimer: this is a fan continuity and doesn't fully align with canon(mild spoilers for my fan cont.)

✧-✧-✧-✧

Known Triple Changers:

Overlord - A cruel disloyal deception with a hidden soft spot no one can find. tank and jet (he/they/it)

Astrotain - A hardworking joyful train conductor who is loyal to the Deception cause. spaceship and train (he/they)

Blitzwing - He rather be at bed then in a meeting. jet and tank (he/she)

Tankor/Octane - Jumpy mech who is very friendly, avoids Overlord like the plage. tank* and airplane (he/tank)

Broadside - The moody yet somewhat chill. jet and aircraft carrier (he/it)

Sandstorm - A small quiet mech who is really loyal. jet* and jeep (she/he)

Soundless - A mute Soundwave clones with a special connection with Cosmos. space station and jet (it/its)

*Different alt mode than canon

(Tankor/Octane - tank/tanks/tankself)

✧-✧-✧-✧

Who is Soundless?

Soundless is a Soundwave clone created by Shockblast. Very few know of his existence. He appears in the clone world building post.

✧-✧-✧-✧

Triple Changers, Adaptus, and Adaptusians

(Content warning for religion, religion aspects, gods, and death. Skip to next section if you are not comfortable)

Adaptusians, worshippers of Adaptus, believed that triple changers were demi gods given the gift of a third form by Adaptus. While, Adaptus did create triple changers, he only did so to see if it was even possible to give a Cybertronian three forms. He did not create them as/to be demi gods. Seeing how fixated Adaptusians were, Adaptus stopped creating triple changers so frequently.

Adaptusians realized this and thought Adaptus was mad at them. Some then thought that perhaps triple changers stole a third mode from Adaptus. Wrongfully angry, some Adaptusians murdered triple changers and sacrificed some to Adaptus. Adaptus was furious and upset. Mortilus sees this and creates red scraplets. He sent the red scraplets to destroy the Adaptusians who dared to kill to Adaptus's creations.

Adaptus sees this and tells the Adaptusians who were against the idea of killing triple changers to avoid the red scraplets. After the red scraplets disappeared, all that was left was the Adaptusians that Adaptus warned. Those Adaptusians thanked Adaptus and told Adaptus that they would keep both triple changers and red scraplings safe.

[tl;dr Adapts creates triple changers, some Adaptusians try to kill them, Mortilus creates red scraplings, red scarplings kill/eat those Adaptusians.]

✧-✧-✧-✧

Red Scraplets

Red scraplets were created by Mortilus for Adaptus. Red scraplets can take any shape they want to. They will have their own post.

✧-✧-✧-✧

Functionism and Triple Changers

(content warning, I'm talking about functionism. This has elements that might make some readers uncomfortable)

Triple changers confused Functionists when the caste system existed. Triple changers have 'opposite' alt modes. One flight mode, one ground mode, Soundless being the exception.

All triple changers are only forged due to the fact that Cybertronians haven't be able to figure out how a triple changer works. Thus they are not able to cold construct triple changers. Note, Soundless was cloned and was not cold constructed nor forged.

Since the Functionists couldn't figure out what to do with them, they chose one of the triple changers' alt mode and made them do work aligned with the chosen alt mode.

[tl;dr Triple changers confuse Functionists, triple changers cannot be cold constructed, Functionists chose one of their alt modes to use]

✧-✧-✧-✧

They are huge!

Triple Changers are big, twice times a regular mechs size at the minimum. While some of their alt mode share parts, some parts aren't shared. They also can fit regular sized bots inside their alt mode. That being said, they also shift their mass aka mass shift. This allows them to triple their size.

✧-✧-✧-✧

ANFAJFNMF

The most out of left field cross faction romance known to man, neither of them is able to openly say anything nice to the other. You have to navigate through several layers of threats and pride to find a little kernal of romance at the center

They will have a spring wedding

OK but while we're on the topic of Jetstorm coming online and calling everyone a shithead on sight, the first words out of his vocalizer were no less than fifteen swears in rapid succession. This is followed by him slam dunking a random diagnostic drone into the floor and striking a gay little pose. Then he sees the other generals/DD and declares them shitheads. Megatron is equal parts mortified and delighted because he knows this would upset Silverbolt but he also now has a chronic migraine.

this is the funniest paragraph i have ever fucking read oh my GOD

Dear, Vector Prime.

Could you tell us about Animated Tankor? Is he purple Triplechanger? Or blue tank?

Dear Tankor Twisted,

In fact he's both.

He was another of the "Shrikebat" body-type Decepticons who was experimented on by Blackarachnia, and had the ability to triple-change unlocked. He lacked the temper of his fellow triple-changer, and instead was a perfect Decepticon soldier—cruel, loyal, and afraid of nothing.

Of course, it doesn't matter how fearless you are when it comes to some foes. Tankor found himself abducted by a group of aliens, who put him on trial for theft. It seems that Blackarachnia's genetic alterations had involved certain… quintessential CNA strands, and despite the fact Tankor had been an unwilling participant, his captors still found him guilty of handling stolen goods.

Unfortunately, he didn't survive the reclamation process, and the whole affair ended up being just one more reason why the Decepticons eventually went to war with the Quintessons.
