I like the idea that the universe conspires to keep Tarn and Camien nurse together.

They're legally married in multiple systems, including by Decepticon law via Kaon's submission of Witnessed Acts and a traitor's real credentials at a theme resort's chapel on a foreign planet.

No one knows who approved the Acts of Witnesses to Conjunx Ritus, but it's official and in the system. (And Rumble and Frenzy, for once, keep their mouths shut because it's the gift that keeps on giving with free entertainment and raking in bets.) And it turns out that the resort is actually a traveling one with space capabilities, so it moved elsewhere. Unfortunately, it's a popular brand with multiple ships, and they need to find the specific one they got hitched at to get the paperwork fixed on that end...

Not to mention, the six kids with Seekerkin-coding along with over half of them with flight-frames, so Nurse is staying with Tarn until the newsparks are at least mechlings (teenagers).

And because Cybertron and the Lost Colonies have different populations and cultural/societal shifts, then there have to be more clashes and misunderstandings, especially since Cybertron lost its femme population for weird, unexplained reasons. So-

Imagine that there's a really popular drink on Cybertron, but the plants went extinct along with vital metals depleted from overharvest...

However, there are small caches of growth dotted across the universe. And because the modern descendants of Cybertron had yet to learn moderation and sustainability, the mechs immediately use it all up as a morale boost.

The Peaceful Tyranny is refueling at a random Decepticon waystation where the random scouts found a stash, so it's a wide party to soak in great booze and vibes. The nurse took one whiff of the room and immediately backed out. Nurse moved so fast that the waystation mechs speculate a teleportation quirk in that one.

Meanwhile, you're trying to bully Tarn away from it because you that concoction. It's a very familiar one. A particular one that's very popular for the once in the century Crucible Festival in the section that's really trying to match the hotspot ignition.

And because you and Tarn are having two very different conversations, you tug him down and demand if he wants more bitties in the ship.

The light bulb flickers in the damp closet, humidity encroaching its way deep into the station, despite the machinery. You're uncomfortably close to Tarn as you hook your servos into his collar fare to bring him face to face because there's already six-

"I don't mind?" His answer sounds questioning, but he's absolutely sincere. He's doesn't mind more newsparks.

You should be mad, but you're not, and that's rattling.

It's humid, and he pours more heat into the cramped room by the grace of his alt-mode. Behind the red lens of the mask, you can see that wide-opticked confusion, and you don't know if you want to punch his face for not getting it or slide-

You snip that thought and tell him, "I'm not going to be responsible for what happens then."

You're buzzing in your seat, pressed against Tarn's side as you're hissing at other mechs, particularly the winged ones, that try to get close to your space.

It happens late in the night when everyone is intoxicated by the booze and the revel of electrified emotions and muddled fields, laughter and jeers become white noise as-

Tarn's brain module processes with a slight delay that you ripped into his throat with your teeth as you speed out of the mess and right outside into wetlands.

Of course, Tarn slaps on a patch without a second thought as he zooms after you. Tanks may not have the speed or maneuverability, but Tarn had the endurance of a pursuit predator and the firepower to blow away any other competition.

The universe had answered Tarn's melancholy over the first trio moving into their own shared hab, and now there's a third clutch on the way from an induced reproductive heat from Energon laced with powerful aphrodisiacs to kick the related systems in the teeth.

Listen bay!Bumblebee is a weird bot okay? he likes the one human who doesn't want to be here, he's not "too nice" about Sam he finds it fascinating such a contradicting human, says it hates all the fighting, talks back to prime like that's literally not a walking war machine, and still has been there for Bumblebee. Maybe he couldn't help the bleeding like Ratchet or Mikaela, maybe he couldn't fight Megatron brother to brother like only Optimus prime could. but that little human that choose Bee, he choose to try. And its so illogical. Bumblebee just wants to keep twisting and turning Sam to see all the angles to him. And nobody else seems to see how interesting that is so nobody understands Bee and Sam

(´；Д；`) like I promise Sam does have good qualities their just highly restricted behind anxiety, trust problems and probably other stuff but guy is ride or die! He just doesn’t want to die!!! AGAIN!!

I can’t just simplify the way I layer Sams character other than metaphors ＿|￣|○

Like he’s a grumpy cat that sometimes lets bee pat him but he’s also staying up at night because he doesn’t want anything to happen while bees sleeping

Since Raf understands Bee's cybertronian binary and cybeetronian do we think he cpuld be able to understand Vos?

Like what if to humans Vos sounds like he's speaking latin?

I like to think Vos speaks a Cybertronian version of Latin or Ancient Greek. If I'm dumpster diving into it, then I would like to figure out if Vos is speaking a dialect that predates the Quintesson occupation or had been influenced by the colonization.

All for the off comment that Vos is a language purist in IDW/MTMTE comics.

And if this is an Other!Au because I love my fantasy transformers fusions too much.

Going back to the question, I don't know if Raf can understand or parse out the Cybertronians' spoken language outside of Bumblebee's binary. If anything, he would more have a grasp of the coding or engineering aspect with a very rudimentary grasp of written glyphs from Ratchet’s off-hand teachings.

This isn't delving into whether or not Cybertronians can impart particular emotional cues in underlying subglyphs along with how much they use their EM fields in communication.

Are those tagging subglyphs too subtle for humans to pick up? Is it even possible to code a language translator? Are there certain city-state dialects that are easier for Raf to actually pick up? Do the Autobots speak of version of Neocybex that's a melting pot of all the regions, or does it use Iacon structures as templete?

There are a lot of questions here.

What are your thoughts on Transformers One?

Absolutely hilarious (and is that Elita!?), but that's because their reactions hit the tone and shenanigans of how I view humans-into-Cybertronians would be like.

Partial transformation. Cars with arms. Brakes after hitting an immovable object.

All I'm missing are someone sneezing fire or setting off their alarm, a person doing their own action themes from the Pandora/Spotify via bluetooth, the drama between two combiners from the same hospital but different units/departments, and a poor floating Seeker clawing the walls because they can't disengage the anti-gravs.

Human eating something spicy: Good food

Cybertronian: You're actively burning and poisoning yourself. Stop eating that

Human: Mmm capsaicin

Cybertronian: I said stop eating that!

Chilis are too obvious and kind to them. Of course, the space aliens are highly concerned by spice challenges, especially with humans attempting to breed hotter, spicier peppers... as a fun hobby.

("Isn't capsaicin the active ingredient in pepper spray?" "Yes. But people enjoy eating spicy food.")

Cybertronians would be blown away by how much agriculture transformed human civilizations... as well as be boggled between humans' ability to endure extreme conditions, yet be so damn bodily fragile and inefficient.

Genetics have never looked so wild in the botanical community. Like yes, space alien, many vegetables are related. It's dependent on the area of concentration to painfully cultivate it for hundreds to thousands of years because some regions wanted something more leafy, while others focused on the pods or roots.

And yes, space alien, many cultivated foods had derived from poisonous origins. Animals (including humans) figured to circumvent it through evolutionary adaptations or utilizing methods to draw out the toxins.

Cybertronians can be impressed by how humans managed to figure that out in the countless preparation and cooking processes in different cuisines across various cultures... yet slap their helms because their funky, little squishy is having so many health issues because of the lack of Vitamin D or a Candida infection, so Cybertronians will unironically go "touch grass" with their assigned/favorite human.

(Cue confused Cybertronian noises when their human explains sunscreen and cancer.)

And fungi, like mushrooms, are a mindfuck within itself as a kingdom to both Cybertronians and humans.

This isn't delving into how other Earth organic species can't consume certain human foods due to toxicity, like dogs and chocolate.

Could pokemon also be Unicron spawn?

There's a lot of chaos there

Yes.

And that's a deeply fascinating mindfuck, considering there are god-like Pokémon.

So either Unicron's slumbering gave rise to other creation deities, which suits the role of Lord of Chaos and the Unmaker, or Earth had done it via the powers granted as a cosmic god that rivals Unicron and Primus as their sister.

Both are fun.

Tfp Tarn and him and Soundwave being foils is interesting

I got this thought that sprung up that sums it up i think that i need to share

Tarn: I hate you.

Soundwave:*telepath and a menace, memeing* You want to kiss me so bad it makes you look stupid

I can see that dynamic for Cyberverse Tarn and Memelord!Soundwave.

TFP!Tarn wishes he had that because it would mean Soundwave sees something in him, even if it's too ridicule.

[witchofthesouls]

a character type i'm really into is the ex-something - exile, obviously, but also anyone who used to have a role that was also an identity and now does not: ex-mage, ex-assassin, ex-monarch --

it's about loss of identity and recreation of identity; it's about how being an ex-something is impossible because the ghost of what you were haunts what you are now; it's about reshaping the way you see the world and yourself in the world.

#tropes #character concept #i love this because it can encompass SO MUCH #there are so many directions a story can be told with this

[witchofthesouls]

I find the idea of Tarn existing in TFP absolutely hilarious because he would have a raging hate boner or be deeply, wildly in lust with Soundwave (and Megatron).

The gladiator that once tied with Megatron became his right-hand mech and a steady, unshakable pillar of Decepticon might.

Tarn wouldn't be Tarn without that Decepticon badge as his face mask, nor without his weird obsessions and extremism. He would probably dig hard into differences to shore up "openings."

Tarn's soft, eloquent prose to Soundwave’s Vow of Silence. Tank versus drone. A killer voice and a near mute telepath. Imposing power to lanky speed.

Of course, they would be foils to each other. Tarn's desperation for a scrap of attention for all of his devotion, whereas Soundwave is Megatron's very shadow of a sparkeater.

#transformers #transformers prime #tfp #tarn #soundwave #my thoughts #maccadam #tarn had always been an interesting character to me because he's a reflection of Megatron's own warping in idw #him dying by meg's hand is the only way he could go out as content enough as he could #like he was stripped and rebuilt to mimic Megatron's own destruction/lost ways #weird thought: I wonder what would happen if someone else had taken over the Decepticon mantle? would tarn reflect that as well?

So I vaguely remember reading one of your fics where the reader slept around while staying neutral during the war especially with Prowl, and they got a lot of courtship requests after the war.

I'm trying to look for it but I don't exactly remember the details, sorry for asking this dumb question, I really want to reread it.

I never officially tagged the Party Goblin series where a bot!Reader's blackout drunk persona's shenanigans and mad pipe skills (laying and taking) in neutral territories. They became so well-loved amongst the 'bots, 'cons, Neutrals, and alien species that a bidding war was launched after the end of the Cybertronian conflict.

That particular AU is under the most recent #bot!reader tag.

Here's the first post that kicked it off

The Prowl one

Wondering how Tarn and the Nurse's story would go if they shared a world with Fusian Cannon Wedding Megatron.

The idea of fusion Cannon Wedding Megatron!AU is that the senate reserved the right to take any sparkling from unconjuxed parents ostensibly to be put in a worthy home while simultaneously making it cost prohibitive for all but the elite. Even for the upper middle caste it was incredibly burdensome. But if you could get an audience with a priest of the 13 they could interview a couple deem them worthy and chose to wave the fee.

Megatron, the agnostic, due to Gladiatorial WWE-esque Theme Shenanigans actualy ends a priest of Megatronus because he refused to be a fake priest in such a way that the last Priest of Megatronus decided "welp this is my best bet as a secuessor." Megatron ever the political activist used this to perform legally binding weddings for any sparked couples he came across.

Cue the Revolution and the risk of Deceticon newsparks being stolen increases. But there are treaties to return kiddos to their parents or next of kin. So if con, bot, neutral, or implausiblely compatible alien sparks up or is sparked up by one of his Decepticons, they are kidnapped and brought to the alrer at gunpoint for now High Priest Megatron to Marry them off "for the children's sake." The DJD has brought runaway 'juxes to the alter.

Now the DJD still has the Doner Cause because it's a way of protecting the bitties. Megatron initaly gets wind of the situation of with the Nurse and is relatively chill. Right up untill he realizes that the nurse was never married to the sire. Nevermind their Caimen with very diffrent rules and cultural norms. (Also their the mentee of a very scary Healer). Kaon doesn't even have to pull a witnessed act shenanigans to help his ship set sail. He just has to include a question in his routine report that Tarn is continuing providing doner support as outlined in the Doner clause. "As the cowardly tratitor abandoned his lover the moment he found out she sparked we did not find out he had sparked her after he was dead. Is it possible to posthumously conjux them for the security of the sparklings?" Kaon knows damn well posthumous conjuxing isn't a thing.

Shenanigans are about to ensue.

This is great because Megatron's manifesto would have revisions about religion, so instead of an atheist society, he more likely written about freedom of religion for anyone to practice. Just as a final Fuck You to the Senate with their harsh stance.

And because of the wild shenanigans, I think the Decepticons would have strong civil and family court proceedings.

Deadzone and Nurse were (ex) fiances, so Megatron could be chill with that.

But not with Tarn also sparking up the Camien. Now that's a whole-ass security risk!

Megatron wouldn't need to demand Tarn to return. The Peaceful Tyranny bulleted itself to the main flagship, ignoring everything else to get it situated after the consequences of too much excitement at the "fake" resort wedding.

A poor, sleep-deprived and absolutely exhausted Nurse would have been scooped up and thrown into the shower and polished to high-hell. You were vaguely aware of quick, sure servos working your back and sensory panels, and Helex was hogging the dryer.

This was no dignified walk. The entire Justice Division burned rubber and left scorch marks on their stampede to the Altar. Every other 'con jumped out of the way and booked it elsewhere because no one wanted to be in the vicinity that had the D.J.D. that hyperfocused.

Shockwaves rippled across the base that it wasn't a gruesome execution but a wedding.

Out of all the mechs, Tarn's.

The gossip mill was set aflame. Information between truth and rumors clashing, especially when the newlywedded mech was spotted with strange, blue Energon painted bright on his chassis.

The reality of it was far less fantastical.

You were a sack of photon-potatoes over Tarn's shoulder as he carried the cradle-pod of newsparks under his opposite arm.

At the daunting reveal that Megatron the bomb of Megatronus Prime's ordained lineage with the markings and proven insignia, you took a short break in the private sideroom (with proper permission from the High Priest) to freak out over your own lack of preparations and courtesies for said High Priest.

You did invoke part of an old bonding custom from Caminus' initial vorns when the Titan carried the survivors of the Tribal wars composed of different peoples.

You and Tarn get married with each other’s Energon painted upon the chassis.

Not only Megatron officiated the ceremony, but allowed a generous honeymoon package of timeoff and a few gifts.

Unicron:*creates fragging Ghidorah*

I raise you that Unicron was unconscious when Ghidorah came to be.

Much like the ancient tales of creation, Ghidorah sprang to life from the blood of an injured, comatose Unicron drifting in the void, splashing on a random asteroid.

Could also be from other fluids, too. Gas as well.

Hear.me.out. martial art exist in the TFA universe, and since we have cyber-ninjas already what about...kungfu masters?

It's already canon or can be inferred that it exists based on the existence of Cybertronian martial arts. We just need to figure out or create the equivalent of Chinese martial arts among them.

Honestly, I feel that the Cyber-Ninja Corps are a marriage between the classical ninjutsu with other martial arts, especially since Yoketron is a master of many said arts.

Okay, weird thought, I wonder if Cybertron has a Kung Fu Hustle movie, or better yet!
