#when he sends more than a few it's usually vehicons which let's be real have a disadvantage on the battlefield

I just love the idea of Megan first hiding his pregnancy, then hiding his sparkling in his pouch. I can imagine being so large helped to hide any physical signs, and he's probably used to hiding any discomfort. And he's more than likely armoured enough for the baby to be safe in his pouch while he fights.

And then I guess he gets captured or something? The sparkling is revealed, and that probably has some major consequences.

(Ofc it's Oppy as the sire, but just for fun imagine it's Ratchet)

Okay but that'd be so fucking funny if he was sparked up before his space jaunt by Ratchet, and then he came back and is just. Absolutely hiding all of it lol.

Oh I'm rolling around the idea of megaratch here because it's a fairly neat rarepair. Plus, I've always had fun considering these two working together aaaaand wait a minute. Consider: Megaopiratch. I've read a few spectacular fics with both of them, it'd be an interesting dynamic, and my brain is instantly giving the ultimate scenario of both of them being the sire. Am i trying to figure out a scenario where this even happened? Yes. I feel like it was during one of those temporary "We're only going to work together to get this done, and afterwards we're going back to fighting" situations like the unicron thing. I got derailed lol

Plus, you can completely justify this as Megatron avoiding Knockout like the plague, which? I mean, you can consider the idea of checkups having a pretty long amount of time in between, and i think it was mentioned that yes Knockout and Breakdown were on their own adventure off world as a vacay. For such long lived beings i can see there easily being decades to even vorns between each one, i mean these guys live at entirely different time scales than us. So, that'd be a reason.

#personally i prefer to give Cybertronians longer time scales for carrying as it just makes sense to me #I've seen a decade being used in more than a few fics #maccadam #transformers #tfp megatron #megaopiratch #megop #megaratch #implied opiratch #plus i mean if the cons can (kinda) capture optimus why not Megatron? #i actually can see the concept of him subtly reducing his time on the battlefield because we actually don't see him on it a lot in canon #he tends to send one mech (well until m.e.c.h. got breakdown) or a small group of them to do stuff #when he sends more than a few it's usually vehicons which let's be real have a disadvantage on the battlefield #i may ship megop a lot on this blog but by far that doesn't mean other characters are off the table #oh in my head i feel like it'd be fun to also explore just. an entire lack of dark energon for funsies #I'm gonna be thinking a lot about this now #oh I'll probably lose focus on it within a day or two which i apologize in advance for #tfp knockout #tfp breakdown
