I've not been a very good communicator but with those whom I've developed a deep bonding could hear me even when I'm silent and I think that's enough and serves the purpose - the connectivity between the hearts...

From previous asks where you mention being annoyed at Hasbro for mandating the modern Optimus voices be like Peter Cullen, I'm guessing you weren't a fan of Transformers Prime having Peter Cullen himself come back to do Optimus?
Gonna pull from a couple of my debate posts on TFW2005 for this.
For the record, Cullen's best takes on Optimus were in G1 and the 2007 movie up to DOTM (and arguably AOE, if you really want to include that).
With that said, I am tired of Peter Cullen's portrayal of Optimus being put on a pedestal and shoved in our faces, to the point where modern incarnations, even when not voiced by Cullen, have actors who are mandated most of the time to try and sound like him.
Also, if fans are obsessed with Peter Cullen's portrayal to the point where they will rate poorly written or mediocre Optimus Prime portrayals (TFP, Bay Films) over objectively better written Optimus portrayals out there, then there's a bias problem.
I also think Cullen's portrayal is growing stale inevitably due to age.
He was the right age to play a father figure in G1.
In the Bay Movies, and to a lesser extent the High Moon Games, he was more of a military leader first, so whatever effects age had on his performance as Optimus were acceptable.
But honestly, with other parts of Aligned trying to make Optimus a father figure again (when they're not trying to stupidly make him a god), their attempts fall flat because Cullen is just too old to sound like a father. He sounds increasingly more and more like a grandfather figure, which isn't his fault, but is inevitable due to the passage of time.
It is grating and frankly cheesy (and not in a good way) when, particularly in TFP, Optimus refers to those of his senior troops as "old friends" — yet said troops still sound young enough to be the equivalent of his children.
Going back in the Aligned timeline to the WFC and FOC games, I'd have Optimus NOT be voiced by Peter Cullen. He was supposedly young when he got promoted to the rank of Prime, so have his voice reflect that, ya know?
Also, there was a time on TFW2005 that a number of G1 / Cullen fans were clamouring for Optimus to be voiced by an AI that could replicate Peter Cullen once Cullen is actually gone.
Which is, frankly, farcical.
If a franchise is timeless because one of the things it does is reinvent itself for future generations, then locking one of the main characters to a literal portrayal of their first incarnation — done by AI, just to remind you — is a disservice to the character, the actor, the story, the franchise, and filmmaking, acting, and audiences as a whole.
Focusing again on Transformers Prime, the show's writing issues seem to get a lot of free passes just because Optimus and Megatron are portrayed by Peter Cullen and Frank Welker yet again.
That's honestly why I personally push the need for new voice actors for all the characters (as long as they're professional) in each incarnation as possible, rather than more role reprisals. Because 1) let's be fair to other great voice actors and give them a chance, and 2) people are gonna get complacent with acting and writing standards if the same acclaimed voice keeps coming back to multiple incarnations over and over again.

“Invisible String Theory” (aka Red Thread of Fate) comes from ancient Chinese mythology popularised in the Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE), where the matchmaking moon deity Yue Lao ties an unseen red cord between destined partners; the idea later appears in Japanese folklore (often tied to the pinky). The cord may stretch or tangle but never breaks. 
The Qur’an speaks of Allah creating spouses and placing love & mercy between them (Qur’an 30:21), spouses as garments for one another (Qur’an 2:187), humanity from a single soul and its mate (Qur’an 4:1) and that He created all things in pairs (Qur’an 51:49).

But if one thing had fallen out of line, they would have never crossed paths. Yet the universe align and they realize everything they went through before they met was just preparing their heart for each other. Two soulmates connected through an invisible string with each other.]

Two of my original characters I have art for are Snitch and Stitch. Only face claims for now, but I do have a basic idea of their bodies. They’re Dinobots, well kinda
Tumblr media
They’re twins born from the planet Devisun. They weren’t Dinobots at the start, their original is that of what went down in the aligned continuity for the Dinobots, where they got transformed to them. These two were part of the original squad (who are much larger now in terms of members).
They were born during the Golden Age, their original mode was a car. They were brilliant, by proxy, they acted as assistants and archivists organizing data all around, mostly weaponry, engineering, and equipment based sciences. They were never allowed to work on anything on their own, just allowed to organize and assist bigger name scientists. But they managed to learn quickly and secretly build things on their own in private. The two brothers had the outlier ability of magnetism, though it was rather short range.
They got found out and they tried fighting their way out, but they got caught and thrown into the arena where they met Grimlock pre change (also aligned Grimlock, and RID15 Grimlock are separate entities in my universe). Not only were they captured they were forced to undergo a what might be considered a light empurata, aka they now each had one eye. They were like annoying younger brothers with too much energy but a lot of smarts to make a bunch of weapons and tools that no one asked for but they were gonna make regardless.
But everything changed when the fire nation attacked, I mean when the war broke out. They acted as scientists for their main team, and as the snipers able to hit from far away and blitzkrieg opponents by being rascals. Now everything went fine, that is until around the midpoint of the war and the Thunder Coalition getting captured by the cons. Shockwave had some fun with them given they were the only devisiuns there. So he experimented and resulted in them getting a Pachycephalosaurus alt mode.
So now whenever they transform they become that instead of their shared vehicle mode. Like the others they were made dumber, but due to their more unique origin, they actually were able to keep a high level of their intelligence, though much more wild and animalistic. But compared to their fellow Dinobots they are considered the calmest and easiest to talk to since they don’t fully become violent or aggressive easily.
They’re much much more curious and interested in science still. They get into constant brawls and headbutt over and over again, but their heads are the toughest parts of their bodies now so anyone else getting headbutted unless they have tough armor is getting a concussion. They ramble a lot and technobabble, they usually speak in turns and sometimes in unison if being more serious. They like walking on all fours in robot mode cause to them it’s faster and their arms are longer than their legs so it helps with balance.
There are moments where their full intelligence comes back and they are able to speak normally. They do what they can in this state to get the most work done or communicate with others without the fog in their mind. Also their magnetism ability had grown stronger from the experiment so now they can send a full magnetic burst of energy and magnetize the battlefield for a bit, …but they end up stuck together too.
Their designs are based on another person’s Dinobot design that I enjoyed their heads and specifically their eyes so I went off in my own direction. They also take inspo from the comedy tragedy masks so that’s why they have smile and frown and opposite color schemes. They both act more or less the same as one being, but when alone you can tell Snitch is the more cheerful one, while Stitch is more pessimistic.
They were fighting else where with the rest of the Dinobots, but now that the war’s over they’re chilling and building things. They sometimes come visit Griffin Rock cause they like working with Doc Greene and all his crazy stuff.
Also their voice is One-One from Infinity Train but a bit more wild

FILL - TFP Soundwave/G1 Soundwave - G1 - Fantasizing, Unrequited Lust - post/730358452889829376
Soundwave knows there are more realities beyond the ones they currently inhabit. Space and time are but toys in the servos of Primus, able to be shaped by his will. 
Space bridge technology allows the Decepticons to reach through the space of their own world, but a true breach into another alternate reality has not happened.
Until today, when tinkering with the bridge resulted in the appearance of a sleek, navy blue mech unlike any Soundwave has seen before. Despite his odd form, he is branded by the sharp purple symbol of the Decepticons.
The other mech raises his helm, his smooth faceplate glowing. He speaks with a voice not his own, but stitched-together clips of other voices. “I am - Soundwave.”
The Decepticon’s third-in-command is intrigued by the statement, and his hidden optics survey his dimensional twin. “I am Soundwave,” he repeats. 
Something like amusement flutters through the Other Soundwave’s EM field. Soundwave can sense his thoughts dancing below the surface of his mind, and he shares the same feelings of curiosity towards his counterpart.
Every optic and visor strays towards the Other Soundwave. He is so different, so foreign. A novelty of gorgeous, sharp lines and thin struts among the boxy inhabitants of the Victory. 
He moves with a fluid grace that makes Ravage seem like a blundering oaf in comparison, his pedesteps quiet as falling leaves. The Other is a spy in his home world, with an alternate mode suited for stealthy information gathering. 
The Other cannot read processors as Soundwave can, but is a wonderful observer. He can see how EM fields leap and flare with arousal as he passes by the other mechs. He is regarded as an exotic things, a strange and beautiful creature to be studied from afar.
Little by little, he settles into his role. He is a communications officer, equal to the native Soundwave. They work well together, both mechs of few words. Soundwave catches glimpses of the other world through his counterpart’s memories - the harsh, brutal life of a gladiator in the ring. The awe with which he gazed up at the mech that was to become Megatron, a hulking gray warrior with a burning gaze and jagged dentae.
The other Megatron is held in high regard. Soundwave often feels flickers of affection lighting the Other’s neural pathways when he thinks of the Decepticon leader.
Yet he does not seem in a hurry to return to his old world. The Other lingers among the Decepticons, almost at home.
Soundwave also senses distant memories of the dark, tumultuous place he inhabited before the space bridge brought him to earth, a cold, lonely expanse of darkness. It is a place that the Other Soundwave shuns. 
Frenzy and Rumble find the Other’s strength delightful. His arms are so thin, so light, and yet so very strong. A single swipe of his sharp claws can cut strut-deep furrows into a mech’s chest, gliding through steel as if it were paper.
They both wonder if it would be possible to fit into the Other Soundwave’s chest compartment - he is obviously a cassette carrier, but his format is so very foreign. They want to get closer to him, run their tiny servos over his plating, feel the heat rise from his vents as the touch makes his fans engage. 
The seekers admire the new Soundwave’s arm-wings, how they stretch and fold when he transforms to his alternate mode. It seems to be a jet of some sort, but like nothing anyone has seen on earth or Cybertron.
Starscream wants to run his lips down the thin plane of metal, to smirk against the surface as his own wings twitch higher. He imagines parting his lips, sinking dentae into the sensitive appendage just hard enough to leave a crescent-shaped mark of ownership. 
Skywarp is enamored by the Other Soundwave’s razor sharp talons. He imagines guiding them to his spike, letting the weapons gently curl around his length as he leans against the other. What kind of interfacing equipment did the other have, anyway? Something smooth and pointed and slender, Skywarp imagines. A spike to match the rest of his frame.
Thundercracker wants to wrap his own servos around the Other’s slender waist, pull him close as he sinks into the slick valve. If the Other only talks with recordings, how would his moans and cries sound? Would he be completely silent, or would his voicebox crackle and hiss with static? Perhaps he has recorded some indecent murmuring from his own universe, overheard the deep growls of his leader. How delightful it would be to hear him scream in pleasure with the voice of an alternate Megatron.
The Megatron of this universe is not unaffected by the Other Soundwave. He has noticed long, coiling cables that occasionally slip from some hidden place on his frame and dance over keypads. He does not know what they are for, nor what technology they were created to be compatible with, but he cannot help wondering if they could be used for interfacing. 
It would feel exquisite for one of those cables to slide into Megatron’s valve, pulsing and twitching with charge as the small claws on the end move inside him.
Even Shockwave, when he connects across space-time to communicate with Megatron, is drawn to the newcomer. The cyclops is a lonely mech, and he considers asking the Other Soundwave to travel to Cybertron. 
His optic focuses on the Other’s full-face visor, imagining what features could be hiding below. Narrow red optics, perhaps, above soft lips perfect for wrapping around the end of Shockwave’s gun servo.
Soundwave has no such lust for his dimensional twin. He has… more complex feelings. It’s hard for him to express what he feels, but he knows the Other’s feelings are just as complex. 
The Other often studies Soundwave, EM field tinged with curiosity. He likes to trace the buttons on his pelvis with one talon, never pressing hard enough to leave a mark. The Other’s visor becomes more expressive in Soundwave’s presence, glowing with a softness almost like a smile. 
They press their helms together, sometimes, visor against mouthplate in a sort of kiss. When they do, their sparks thrum in sync for a few beats, and a strange force pulls them together like magnets. 
Perhaps it’s that thing called love. Perhaps it’s some strange, cosmic force that binds the sparks of mechs that share a name. Whatever it is, both Soundwaves bask in it together.

Transformers: Mosaic #539 - "Dictator"

deviantART | Seibertron | TFW2005
wada sez: Whoa, check it, our first “aligned continuity” strip! This comedic little strip ties into the War for Cybertron video game, in which we see Megatron sway the Seekers to his side. Starscream started out as the neutral leader of a space station housing Dark Energon. Kaon is traditionally the city-state where the Decepticon movement first takes off.

Androvixenix / Axendroma
Androvixenix, also known as Axendroma, is a gender that is genderless-, male-, androgyne- and xeno-aligned. These alignments can be simultaneous, fluid, and/or fluctuate in intensity. This may manifest as identifying only partially as male, androgynous and/or xenine genders. This term is intended for those who feel simultaneously connected and disconnected from these alignments, as well as those who have difficulty distinguishing their alignment from their gender.
Tumblr media
Summarized description: A nixic gender that is nixangi, nixvir, and nixenic, simultaneously.
