Colored sketch of Hot Rod as he appears in my fan continuity, TFSigma. He was Optimus's protege during the war, but after his death, he was struck with horrible amnesia, as well as mysteriously inheriting both the holy Star Saber and a broken Matrix of Leadership. It, as well as many of his memories, are unknown to him

Okay, the second you asked I had to hop in here.

So... Do want talk about the rough whole of your story? I'm a little bit curious as to what Rodimus did to get amnesia. Also, what's Overlord doing, or is that too huge of a spoiler to tell?

You don’t have to worry about spoilers because TFSigma is a bunch of loose story plans and worldbuilding right now 😆 having to spoil stuff would mean I have a coherent structure, which is an accomplishment! Anyway I'll summarize the gist:

The galaxy-spanning Autobot-Decepticon war has been going on for ages. The Decepticons have been on the advance, with the Autobots losing an incredible amount of territory and suffering major losses. All hope seems lost for the latter, when on one fateful day, Optimus and Megatron end up killing each other in a brutal battle. This fractures both factions really badly, and the two sides agree to a fragile ceasefire. This ceasefire has lasted over 200 years, as the Autobots and Decepticons have put their focus on rebuilding Cybertron and searching for energon across the galaxy. One such source of energon is Earth, a Decepticon territory with a small Autobot enclave.

When Rodimus--or rather Hot Rod--crash lands here, he's in an escape pod found by mentor-apprentice duo Hound and Nautica. They open the pod and find him unconscious, but in his arms is the star saber and the partially-destroyed matrix of leadership. I don't have a full idea for how he lost his memories, but it did have something to do with Optimus.

Overlord has been the hardest to develop ngl XD but what I have for him is that he’s suffering from the loss of Megatron very horribly, due to his toxic attachment to him. He blames him and himself for what happened, but he also fully blames Optimus. He wants to unleash his anger somehow, but for now he keeps himself composed. After the ceasefire went into effect, he and all of the Decepticon generals were tasked with handling official political peacekeeping business/overseeing the energon harvesting on other words. He’s very mad and very depressed, but hides it behind his token smoothness. He’s the main antagonist and is a direct threat to Hot Rod, but I’m still yet to plan how the two meet and what Overlord’s full vision is. All I know is that Hot Rod carries the weapon that killed Megatron, and the heirloom of his killer. Overlord is absolutely not happy about it.

I could go into further detail about other characters and worldbuilding but that can be for another post XD thanks for asking, this helped

Rodimus with amnesia AU thing?? What’s the tag so I can look it up and learn about it. (Idk if I’ve seen it before-)

You haven't because I haven't talked about it before! And it's less an AU than its own original fan continuity with an established canon and everything. For the longest time I've called it Transformers Sigma (TFSigma) because of Vector Sigma's importance to the plot.

It's about as old as how long I've been in the tf fandom but it's changed drastically from its original idea lol
