#BD goes to bots

[immabebaby]

This idea literally came to me in a dream

(lightly inspired by "Never say Goodbye" Minecraft)

It goes like this : Breakdown's actually down for defecting from the 'cons, and convinces Knockout to leave with him. Y'follow? Cool so they're on the run, fleeing from the cons who are hunting them down cuz their main medic just bailed on them. Along the way, they're ambushed by terror cons, who obvsly attack them. Knockout gets taken by them and Breakdown wasn't able to get him back, left with no choice but to run away. He eventually bumps into the autobots who take him in.

He's vibing with the bots, but he's still bitter about Knockout's "death", quotes bc he's not dead, he's undead! Which the bots know about but don't tell him, reasons ranging from reasonable "he's going to lash out and get himself killed trying for revenge" to "no use getting his hopes up if KO is dead anyway" so no one tells Breakdown he's still alive.

Unfortunately BD finds out KO is "alive" bc on a mission they end up fighting terror cons and as fate would have it, knockout is front and center. Breakdown falters, the others don't bc they already knew. Once they return to base, BD lashes out bc "wdym you all knew and not one of you thought to tell me my conjux got zombified"

Anyways that's where the dream ends sadly. But it's a great idea, feel free to build on it

What do bots think of lingerie? If their human were to surprise them with one how would they react?

Now, for them to appreciate it sexually they need to already be pretty familiar with human "customs". Those in this category include Bulkhead (bro is dyinggggg), Bumblebee (don't ask) and Arcee. Maybe Ratchet as well because he's definitely been on the internet. KO and Breakdown too. KO bc he's watched horror movies and those are chock full of girls in lingerie getting chased down by serial killers. And BD because KO brings him along when they're both free. Or well, KO sometimes skips his job and goes straight for it when BD is off shift

I can say KO is very appreciative of lingerie on both an aesthetic and sexual level - Breakdown just stutters and acts sheepish about the whole thing.

Bulkhead flatlines when he sees it, Bumblebee lets out a series of beeps that makes you think he's dying. Arcee is pleasantly surprised and will make it known, you're such a sweet thing. Ratchet hates you for it but he's also blushing

Meanwhile, Dreadwing is discovering a new kink he didn't know he had. It's just... your interface panel is so easily accessible, only covered by a single fragile garment. He cannot cope

[starburstminibot]

Ok, seeing the post about the playlist, you mentioned how Breakdown only gets his act together after finding out that Bee was carrying

So it got me thinking (and this has actually been in my mind since i first came across the au tbh), but how was it while Bee was like, carrying?? There's the fact that, at first, many of the bots probably don't like Breakdown too since, well, he was not the best bf let's be honest.

Idk, I'm just curious to how things were before Breakcheck came to see the world

(Im going out of town for a week and cant draw so im just answering this with a straight up fanfiction-esk paragraph I’m so sorry wish I could be artistic for you anon)

Long story short: the Autobots are very forgiving but they can also be petty motherfuckers.

I mean they welcomed Megatron among their ranks and treat him (for the most part) as an equal and sometimes even a friend. Of course, Megatron earned that trust after years and years of repentance.

I imagine Breakdown is going through a similar arc. He’s never really been THAT loyal to the Decepticon cause. He just… kinda ended up there and didn’t care enough to do anything about it. He views Autobots as these goody, righteous people that he doesn’t feel like he belongs with. So really… what’s left besides Decepticons (considering yourself a neutral at one point was pretty much a death wish. A faction was the only way to acquire any sort of Energon or medical attention. Something Optimus tried hard to avoid, but the reality was safety in numbers.) the only kinship Breakdown ever felt was with the Stunticons… and they’ve been scattered to who knows where… if they’re even still alive.

Except he did have one friend. A friend he’s somehow managed to keep despite being on opposite sides of the war. He tried to convince Bee to join the Decepticons a few times but it was never with genuine intent. Bee was too good for the Cons; Breakdown knew that. He asked to get a rile out of him more than anything. Of course Bee would retort with his own argument of why BD should defect. He was serious about it… but Breakdown knew his place. He’d already done too much…

Now the war is over. And the leader of his faction doesn’t even believe in the cause anymore. Now, Breakdown’s never been a fan of Megatron anyways, but he sure as hell is pissed off when he abandons them to go be buddies with the Autobots. Maybe Breakdown is a little jealous (Of course, he’d never admit it) That Megatron, possibly the cruelest and most unforgiving of them all, is allowed to be redeemed.

He feels betrayed. All the Decepticons do really… He feels like he was led down a path that would only end in self destruction and at the last moment, the one who was paving the way jumped ship, leaving them all to suffer the consequences alone.

He never even wanted this.

But it’s way too late now. He dug this grave and he’s going to see to it that he’s buried in it. But despite the betrayal, and most of the Decepticons now stabbing each other in the back, trying to claim whatever power they can while holding on to this flimsy cause they can barely call a functioning faction, he still has Bee… who is maybe more than just a friend at this point but that’s a lot of feelings Breakdown isn’t ready to unpack.

And he still runs every time it feels a little too good to be true. Still proclaims his loyalty to the Decepticons because he’s too stubborn to admit he’s on a sinking ship. And he still keeps his distance because he refuses to take Bumblebee down with him when it finally goes under.

And maybe they’ve got a fling going… and maybe the autobots start to catch on. It doesn’t matter though, Breakdown doesn’t stick around long enough to see their sneers.

Until… he finds out Bee’s carrying that is… because damn he may not be the best bot in the galaxy but he’s not a complete deadbeat.

And when it hits him… that he’s going to be a sire… well maybe… he start’s sticking around to see the sneers. He hears the mumbles of disapproval. And boyyy does it make him so angry at first. How dare these holier-than-thou bots. They don’t know him or what he’s had to do to survive. How many comrades he’s lost thanks to them. They don’t know what Bee means to him. They don’t know just how much he loves Bumblebee. How he would lay down his spark for him in a klick.

Then Breakdown questions… Does Bee even know that?

From then on… Breakdown realizes, preserving his ego isn’t worth this. He has a chance now. A real honest chance. To do better… to have the life he actually wants… with the one bot who hasn’t ever given up on him.

He wants it so bad.

So he puts up with the comments and the obvious distrust. Because he’s willing to put in the work it takes to earn it. He’s going to prove how much he wants this. He’s going to prove how much he cares. He’s going to prove he is capable of doing better… and maybe along the way he’ll learn… he’s deserving of better too…

Breakdown is lucky Bumblebee has always been a little spoiled because it didn’t take too much convincing for the autobots to give him a shot. To attempt to accept him into their ranks.

He thought Optimus would be the worst of it. The one who practically raised the bot Breakdown knocked up. And for a while it is. Optimus lectures him every chance he gets. Any small hiccup, any little mistake. He doesn’t go easy on breakdown. Optimus at least pretends to be polite about it, or at least professional.He doesn’t yell, or make unnecessary insults. His words are always very honest (which makes them that much harder to hear) but Breakdown will take it… he’ll sit through it, no matter how hard he has to bite his tongue against saying something he’ll regret. He knows how thin the ice is. But he’ll do it for Bee.

The others are a little more brutal… Elita especially so… they are more sharp with their words (and sometimes their blasters) letting him know just what they think of him.

But no… the worst of all… is Megatron. Because Megatron is probably the only bot in the whole faction who looks at him and empathizes. Breakdown doesn’t want empathy. Especially not from the damn bot who betrayed him. Megatron doesn’t give lectures, he doesn’t verbally or physically abuse him when he steps out of line. He barely even raises his voice. And it pisses Breakdown off more than anything. Sometimes he slips up in front of Megatron just to push his boundaries, just to see if he can break this peaceful facade the ex-brutal-dictator seems to be taking. He’s witnessed the warlord beat bots into scrap for far less… and yet… Megatron won’t. Megatron seems to be attempting to guide Breakdown, to offer a new start to their relationship, and Primus Breakdown wants nothing to do with it. He’d rather be lectured and assigned extra training.

And it takes a long while… longer than Bee’s carrying term, and a little while into Breakcheck’s sparklinghood for the Autobots to really start to come around to him. Optimus’ lectures seem to have a bit of fondness to them. And perhaps Breakdown listens a bit more earnestly and takes to heart some of the genuine advice the Prime gives him. And maybe the sparring with Elita has turned less from a one-sided fight and into an enjoyable workout. And MAYBE… he doesn’t intentionally push Megatron as much, and has come to a realization of his own that his Megatron… is nothing like the one who betrayed him… and perhaps there is more in common between them than he’d like to admit.

And when people look at him now, he’s not just the Con Bumblebee has been sneaking around with. He’s a Sire… and a devoted Conjux…

And maybe this is what he’s always wanted. And he can be deserving of it too.

How to replace Microsoft and support the BDS boycott

reach out to your tech friends about replacing windows with an alternative operating system, such as linux or a *BSD OS. if you decide to do this on your own, make sure to back up your hard drive first. windows profits off your usage data (even if you never paid for it) and can use it to train their AI, which is arming israel.

if your work or school requires you to acquire windows, look up massgrave (it's very simple to activate windows).

duckduckgo is just microsoft's bing in a trench coat. they have made a secret exception for microsoft's tracking services in the past. check out Searx instances, or try alternative indie web search engines such as Marginalia or Wiby.

if you're using microsoft's outlook for email, consider Tuta or Disroot (avoid proton; it's all privacy theatre that's only somewhat better than other email providers, and the CEO has voiced support for trump).

don't pay to watch the minecraft movie that's coming out. i've heard it's incredibly underwhelming anyway.

insist on playing minecraft but don't want to give microsoft money? avoid bedrock edition. check out UltimMC if you need a way to acquire java edition and you don't own it. if you're a server operator, you can set your server to offline mode in server.properties which allows people who acquire minecraft the cool way to connect, but this should be paired with a server-side authentication plugin/mod for safety reasons (in offline mode, anyone can log in with any username, including a whitelisted or operator username, and there are bots scanning for servers to grief). don't use realms. disable telemetry with mods if you can.

get a vpn (i recommend airvpn for p2p connections) and download qBittorrent. in case you're interested in media published by microsoft. or just in general. learn to torrent, and make sure all your torrent traffic goes through your vpn service.

if you're using microsoft edge, consider switching to an alternative browser such as LibreWolf (basically firefox with better privacy and security out of the box; mozilla is not the innocent robin hood figure they're made out to be) or Ungoogled-Chromium (chromium without the google spyware; unfortunately lacks auto-update in most cases).

if you're using microsoft's AI for anything, consider getting a library card instead.

Through the power of dimensional travel, I WILL make both KOBD and Breakbee coexist.

Here’s my idea (not sure if I’m going to write it as a fanfic, but I like it enough to share):

During a space/groundbridge incident, TFP Knockout and Breakdown from another dimension are pulled into Earthspark. They soon flee after seeing the sight of so many Autobots

Eventually though, the Maltos + Megatron (since they are “Decepticons”, they think they might listen to Megatron) track them down and explain they just want to send them home. But surprise… it turns out Knockout and Breakdown actually really like the ES dimension even more than their own.

They were already on the run from the Decepticons in their own world after Breakdown nearly died, they both already like earth and don’t mind staying, and they find the idea of being able to actually make a life outside of war appealing. Since medics are desperately needed, even with the few remaining still working, they are allowed to stay in Witwicky and even give medical help with the kids when needed.

Ideas!

they are their usual selves with everyone else, but when they hear about the Terrans they go absolutely soft. They’re the rich aunties now, and will not be hearing otherwise (this includes Mo and Robby too, once they find out they’re family.)

They get along with Alex and Dot well, since they genuinely care for the kids and just want a life outside of war. (Breakdown admits they did awful things at some point, expecting the humans to recoil, but Dot says “My best friend is Megatron, I know many Cons who made mistakes. But everyone deserves their second chance.”)

Knockout notices ES Bee has been looking at him weird, sees ES Breakdown and Bee together for five minutes, and goes “I’m gonna set them up”. This breakdown deserves a happy relationship too, and Knockout can see how close ES Breakdown is with Bee since he’s already married his own Breakdown, so he ends up giving bee the perfect advice to finally confess. Or he messes with him, 50/50 really.

TFP Breakdown is the best babysitter when Bee is away, since he actually knows how to handle younglings very well. ES Breakdown sees this as competition for HIS Bee, and there’s a lot of silly shenanigans around it until TFP BD goes “pfft, I already got a conjunx, and I’m already with someone wayyy above your Bee”

This is how the Terrans learn what a conjunx is, and react the same way most kids do to learning what marriage is (curious but also going “ew! Kissing!”)

Knockout isn’t a great babysitter because he spoils the kids rotten. He needs Breakdown supervision at least so the kids don’t gain an extra pound from sweets lol

Knockout and Breakdown stay in Witwicky because it’s a nice change of scenery, and because they need to be under the supervision of Autobots until they can be fully trusted. They do sneak off for dates sometimes, but over time the bots just get used to it

At some point TFP KOBD and Breakbee go on a double date on a racing track. ES Breakdown is horrified to learn his alternate is slow as fuck. Luckily Knockout can match them for speed, and have a good time with TFP Breakdown on the sidelines offering coolant to the racers (and kisses for good luck for his Conjunx).

Basically this is a wish fulfillment au where Knockout and Breakdown can live happily while in the more wholesome Earthspark universe (until the horrors come for the Terrans again)

Feel free to add extra ideas for this AU :3

Well, it's time for my hcs. (Mostly UM and KO)

Ultra Magnus has a terrible CPTSD. Sometimes he hears a plane and immediately transforms his hands into blasters. When he talks to someone he tries to continue the dialogue, but all his attention goes to figuring out the location of the enemy. (+ he has bad sleep schedule)

I'M also has a terrible case of 'bad things happen to bots when I leave them'. He doesn't like staying away from the battle, because he cares very much for his new found family. He isn't afraid of dying for the cause, but he doesn't want to lose anyone.

At the free time he has helped some Autobots make their battle skills better. Like he spared with Miko in Apex armor so she could practice her punches and also had classes for medics (Ratchet and KO). They didn't have blasters, which is disadvantage, but they figured out the way to fight almost as good as others.

Speaking of KO. He wasn't very welcomed at team at first, so he was watched very closely. Yet sooner or later they've warmed up to him. KO was a bit afraid at first, but seeing that they meant no harm, he came back to his sassy attitude.

Also KO has some appreciation problems. When he was a decepticon he had to earn the respect and after Shockwave came along he felt very replaceable. He wasn't thanked for his work half as much as he should. So when Ratchet thanked KO in 3 season he genuinely said "you're welcome".

But the moment he felt he was accepted into team prime was when OP didn't let him on some mission. It went like "Why can't I join?", "Knock Out, comrade, you aren't in need of another warrior, yet we may use the help of a second medic." "We can't just lose medics around. Too important." Ratchet adds. After like the whole team nods. And KO felt so appreciated

After that he became very close to Team Prime and (if they stayed on earth) to kids. When some bully is rude to Jack, KO would let Darby drive himself in school just to show off. He'd watch horrors with Miko, and even tell some interesting stuff abt Cybertronian culture, organism ect to Raf

Also he'd race with Bee and Smokescreen, but he is hella competitive. Like this scene in Avatar The Last Airbender, where Azula plays volleyball. "You'll never rise from the ashes of humiliation!" "Dude... It's not that deep bro.."

Oh, and he'd be very awkward with Smokey cuz like... He tried to open him up. But Smokey doesn't mind it, saying that they're even after he put KO in the wall

The other very strange relationship he has with Bulkhead. It's because of Breakdown. Bulkhead hated him and, as we all know, KO was in a relationship with him. Bulk ofc doesn't hold anything against KO for his relationship, yet they'd have a lot of different opinions on BD. They would talk a lot, finding out more about BD's past

And boy oh boy he had a wild one. Him and Bulkhead were born in the same class. They were builders, as Bulkhead said 'I can build stuff, I can break stuff. That's all.' Yet both of them wanted to do more good in the world, so they joined the Wreckers (before the war it was a gang that helped everyone in need and protected the weak), where they've met. Bulk and BD quickly became brothers in arms but the war seperated them

Once BD heard a broadcast of Megatron's ideas of reforming Cybertron and became a great supporter. He joined the decepticons cuz he thought it was his chance to make the world better. He was so blinded by Meg's promises that he thought this crimes were justified. Bulkhead was more observant, and felt something shady and was grossed out by bombings. But the thing that brought them apart and made them enemies was BD's betrayal. Early in the war Megatron was merciless and Wreckers mostly opposed him. Breakdown pledge allegiance to Megan. He wanted whole gang to join, but they refused and Big M wanted to destroy them all. Breakdown told the location of their hideout, and when Wreckers met there, they were greeted by pistols. It was a big fight, some lives were lost. After that BD went with Decepticons and Bulkhead with the Autobots. Now Bulk hated BD for his betrayal

KO never knew abt that cuz he met BD later. Knock Out was a doctor in one of the neutral cities, that were captured by Decepticons early in the war, and decided to join the "winning team" Just to survive

After all the talks Bulkhead started to respect KO more

Knock Out, Bee and Smokey regularly forcing the gang to go to the drive in theaters.

Arcee, June and Miko have a girls nights where they judge everyone

OP and UM are very close. To the point they're mistaken for brothers (they call each other that in private)

Ultra Magnus doesn't like to show affection in public, so when someone wants to hug him or smt like that, they always ask him to another room. Like after OP came back in season 3, Optimus said smt like "Ultra Magnus, old friend, for a word". And then they are just hugging in another room

Optiratch. Just them. Married. Conjux endura. That's all

Megatron, Soundwave and Shockwave are mean girls.

Megasound cuz you can't stop me. And Shocky just third wheeling his spark out.

Shockwave actually started to like Starscream when they were left on earth.

Agent Fowler and June dating, cuz they both deserve better

KO, Arcee and Ratchet form a widow club after the film.

KO and Arcee beat Arachnid's aft together.

That's all for now.

[optimal-spark]

Finally continuing ES with season 2 after holding off so long and I’ve spent most of the initial episode just

Animation quality seems lowered in some aspects(mainly with Starscream and others’ faces I can’t put my finger on. It)? Some of the characterization changed is… infuriating. Some of it seems hopeful, but the bulk is just irksome

Starscream’s biggest issue with Megs is suddenly just that he’s a traitor, BD is dumbed down mainly capable of saying “smash”, the bots have no issues fighting on a public highway around people, the Chaos Terran is… just thrashing around punching and kicking and head butting stuff prompting the most outlandish dialogue from BD. “Not all the cons are bad guys, right mom?” To “Decepticons are all evil! It’s even in the name!” Is something I’d heard about but good lord

From the get go the scenes cut abruptly into a new one. Which is so insanely jarring. And it’s really hard to track any of it. It just immediately feels rushed. If it keeps up this way I may just have to drop it and glean vital plot info from others’ summaries. I mainly just wanted to see Prowl, Megs and co 😭

Nightshade at least seems normal, as does Elita. And some of the others

Really hope this improves as it goes on but based on what I’ve heard I’m wary

[sturns-mermaid]

i got i tmr with bd!chris

what’s the vibe????

omggg so i was just talking with a bot and i made up a bd chris scenario kinda the same as your fic when she goes to pick up their son

and you know he kept looking in his bag for a toy or something? so he runs upstairs "to wash his hands" and when in reality he's playing with his toy in the sink and she's like "he's gonna flood your bathroom" all while chris was trying to flirt with her 😭😭

also the chain fic was so cute u could see him getting their son one i wanna know the reader's reaction LMAOO

[paperbag1999]

I don’t mean to be rude, but what’s the giveaway that they’re scams? I know people get dogpiled on here for suggesting that even a few of them might be fake

This is such a tricky situation. Very real people have been accused of being scammers, which is horrifying. But I think we need to be honest with ourselves that a lot of these asks in our inboxes are scams. I think some people say what's the big deal, I don't really care if my $5 goes to a scammer. Which okay fine but the issue becomes when tens of thousands of dollars that could go to actual Gazans and Palestinian orgs is being funneled into scams.

I don't have a real way to know, I guess there is no universal "giveaway". I don't know Arabic which makes it more difficult for me to know for sure. My general rules of thumb are

Did I just make a post about Palestine and my inbox got mass flooded immediately by donation calls? Probably a bot script. Not just original posts (which conceivably could show up in the tag and notify people seeking help), but just reblogging posts with the word Palestine or Gaza tips it off

I don't want to start shit, but in October a shit ton of posts in my inbox started claiming they were vetted by @/gazavetters. I went to this blog and found it was brand new, with very little info. I just checked again and I think they are reblogging actual fundraisers to give more credibility to their scam (aka DON'T go accusing reblogs on that page of being scams)

That's kind of all I have. I want to make clear that I am regularly donating to gfms, but I have also been donating to Anera, the PCRF, and more specifically community kitchen projects. But I have heard stories of actual Gazans starting gofundmes and then their outside contact organizing the campaign actually just runs off with the money. Which is horrifying.

There is no perfect course of action under a genocide. So many people not in Gaza are grappling with despair and hopelessness and are grasping at what they can do to help. But in a fucking genocide where a global power has enacted a blockade, prevented people from fleeing, and is mass starving an entire population there is no amount of donating that will solve this situation. And we can argue all day about if donating to an org or an individual or whatever is better and guilt people about it but it does not change the material reality of the situation. If you feel better donating to a non profit, or a gofundme, do that. I asked my own grandmother to donate to PCRF as apart of a fundraising drive I did earlier this year. She felt safer sending money to her siblings in the West Bank. Hell, see if there is a pro-Palestine political group or BDS arm in your area taking donations.

[predacon-carrion]

Knockout was also stunned at his outburst, but in a much different way.

“Oh, now look what you’ve made me do!”

He looks back and forth, trying to decide where to go- this wasn’t supposed to happen! He was supposed to end this once and for all, get himself out of the situation! Now that he’s exposed the plan, he AND Carrion will be punished! Stupid humans, giving him a stupid conscience.

KO looked back to Compy. Before he didn’t really think they’d be able to wrap their little heads around the situation, but evidently that wasn’t the case. She looked terrified, the other one sounded terrified… and had no doubt already told Carrion.

Maybe the others would forgive him for ruining the plan. At least HE wasn’t a traitor. Yet. No, no, don’t think that, he is NOT a traitor and will NEVER be! Probably. OUGH! He needs to talk to Breakdown- he’d know what to do. Okay no he wouldn’t, but at least he would always be on KOs side. New objective: ‘Talk to Breakdown and hope I don’t get scrapped’. Though, first he needed to get on the Nemesis… which means facing Soundwave… who was undoubtedly watching and recording the whole conversation.

He’s a reasonable bot, right? He’d understand? Unless he deemed the whole thing too much of a hassle and told Megatron anyway… AUGH! Maybe he’d just comm Breakdown to come here. But the human… who knows what they need, maybe he’d comm Carrion? No, no, the objective is Breakdown. That’s it! He’d get Breakdown to call a bridge!

And he did just that. BD responded almost immediately with a snide comment about killing the human. He didn’t know about his predicament yet…

In the meantime, KO figured he would at least attempt to calm the human. First, he knelt in front of Compy with a rare empathetic face. “I’m not going to hurt you. I know I said I could earlier, but that was a bluff. I’ve been bluffing, alright? I don’t know how to feel about all this and I’ve just blown all my chances of getting out with my paint in tact. If all goes well, I’ll get you back to Carrion. Just… don’t panic, or, ah, do any weird human thing I don’t know about. It’s unnerving.”

[kazuchuu]

If I could change one (albeit major thing) about TFP it would be Breakdown, Knock Out, and Dreadwing all defecting and joining the Autobots.

(Okay that would require BD to Not Get Killed so technically, two things.)

I love consuming work where one of the three joins the Autobots because, well, with KO that’s canon, and it’s an extremely fun idea to explore that the show/movie never went into.

But more than that, I think these three had excellent potential to join the Autobot cause because of how the show writes them. I think Breakdown would join first, because of the events in “Operation: Breakdown” and because he doesn’t seem to care much for the Decepticon cause itself. I think Knock Out would follow soon enough (if not go with him) because where one goes, so does the other (they are a pair please Do Not Separate), and we know Knock Out definitely doesn’t care about the Decepticon cause. The guy cares about survival and honestly, in a civil war scenario, no one can blame him for that.

As for Dreadwing, it’s pretty obvious: he canonically loses hope in the Decepticon cause, but more than that, he’s a Con with integrity. He might have followed Megatron for a while, but he had his own set of morals and honor codes that didn’t necessarily align with Megatron’s. I don’t think he would have immediately agreed to join the Autobots, but it was really worth exploring a subplot where he does.

I mean, the show constantly talks about how even Cons can become good without ever actually showing us that. “Every sentient being possesses the capacity for change” would have been a much more meaningful quote if we actually saw it happen on screen! And the reason I say KO, BD, and DW all together would have been pretty cool as Autobots is because I think they could have found solace in each other. An ex-Con who joins the Bots would still feel lonely for a while, especially in trying to adjust with them; not to mention the distrust that would emerge at first and the constant vigilance. I mean, I get it, but if KOBD joined the Bots together for example, they could find comfort in the new environment and come to terms with the fact that they’ve become #2 on Megatron’s kill list (right after OP). At least, I think Megatron would definitely seek to make an example out of them to discourage any Cons from doing the same. And if DW joined after KOBD have proven themselves as part of the Bot team? The three of them could have really good scenes together!

Plus, this would have made way for Breakdown and Bulkhead finally revealing their shared past, and Knock Out and Ratchet sharing the med bay (leading to priceless moments). And though I don’t think Dreadwing would forgive Bumblebee for killing Skyquake, I think he would at least acknowledge that Skyquake met an honorable end at the Bot’s hand (until the whole terrorcon thing anyway).

Anyway all of this was just an excuse so I could talk about BD, KO, and DW as a trio. Would it have worked, plot-wise? I have no idea, it would require lots of things in the show to change. But I can dream<3

what does tfp starscream think of the younglings?and the other decepticons (megatron, soundwave, dreadwing, KO, BD, etc)

And whats the family's level of danger in SW's archives? I mean... a carrier with sonic scream and immortality plus two seekerlings with elemental powers and the ability to fuse are no small feat.

Have a nice weekend!🙂

I'm assuming this is Bittersweet Reunion. TFP Starscream... that's a tough one. I think that widely depends on what we decide his past was like, on a personal relationship point. Was he ever romantically involved with Skyfire, or with his trine? Did he ever have bitties of his own but tragically lost them to the bombing of Vos? Did he once dream of having his own family only to have those hopes dashed? To really get into the thick of it and pick apart his reaction that would need to be ironed out first. I also think it would depend on when this happens during the canon timeline. Like, is Star still with the cons or not? That'd play a big part in it. Largely, tho, I think he'd regard his alternate dimension self with a sense of morbid fascination. They are different iterations of the same person but are clearly distinct and different from one another, not like his clones were. He may try to ally himself with this other Starscream, or he might have an identity crisis and try to kill him because There Can Only Be One. It's really up fpr debate 🤷‍♀️

The Cons as a whole probably keep an eye on this other Starscream, but considering they're preoccupied with the autobots and this random rogue isn't doing or saying anything against them, they're neutral to his presence for the time being. If he tries to mobilize against them or side with the bots then there'll be trouble, but Soundwave's intel (yes they're being spied on. Are you really surprised??) says they're not doing anything suspicious. They can be left alone for now. While they would be valuable assets Megatron isn't exactly eager to have a second Starscream to deal with

As for the danger level in Soundwave's archives... probably like a 6? Any Starscream automatically requires some level of caution, and his two rambunctious younglings are very powerful despite their age. Their active threat rating is like, a 2, because they're just camped up on Mt. Everest not doing anything, just trying to survive. But that rating could easily rise significantly if Starscream decides to make himself a problem.

Which, knowing Starscream, he eventually will 🤭 he just wants to protect his bitties and keep them well fed, and find a way off this Primus forsaken planet. We'll have to see where it goes!

Starscream is a pacifist, but he is still a Decepticon. G1, TFA, TFP, and Cyberverse.

G1

head scientist for the earth team

aka the only scientist

gets dragged out to battles sometimes, but when the bots show up he grabs as much Energon as possible

After Skyfire shows up, when a fight breaks out they go over to a field and talk about Science 

after getting enough supplies, Sky and Star would skip out on the war

Tc and warp come too, so that Sky and Star would have some protection against hostile forces

tfa

Scientist and inventor

creates a way to walk around in human form

Starscream falls in love with human culture and wishes to study more 

gets hired by sumdac 

is basically his right hand man when it comes to inventing 

powell does not like Star

mostly because Star doesn’t make shady deals with him

is slightly scared when the bots show up, thinking that they’re looking for him

is relieved that they’re looking for a way home

has a panic attack when Megatron comes around

Megatron and the cons are looking for him 

Megs wants his seeker back  

tfp 

does not kill Cliffjumper; Soundwave does 

When Megs returns he goes straight to Screamer

they have a Bell and Gaston dynamic 

No one can find Star when Megatron is mad

Finds a way to save Breakdown from dying at the hands of M.E.C.H 

BD, KO, and Starscream join the bots after Megatron almost killed Knockout. 

cyberverse

Joined the cons after hearing Skyfire had died fighting Sky-byte

Doesn’t like fighting, and the other seekers try to shield him from Megatron’s wrath when the warlord tries to get him to fight

when Skyfire shows up, Starscream switches sides to be with him

he really missed his friend, and wished to be by his side again

When Megatron hears of Starscream betrayal, the other seekers assure him that the winglord will come to his senses and return to the cons

in reality the other seekers are thinking about following Starscream

What's your backstory/personality headcanons for Breakdown?

Oh boy! :D This is long so I'm going to put it under a cut.

So my headcanon is that Decepticon medics have a Bad Reputation of seeing their patients as "the enemy", because when a bot wakes up in pain they will often take a swing at whoever is closest. Plus it's normal for Decepticons to bluster and try to intimidate each other and talk shit, and the medics do NOT like that. Also, the medics are mostly from the upper castes (the medical caste), so there's some class friction. So among the Decepticon infantry there are all these rumors like "Poor Deathblade died in the field hospital, I'll bet those psycho medics LET him die because they didn't like how he called them punk ass bitches." (Which, you know, might or might not be true.)

At some point Breakdown gets injured and KO tends to him, but it's not a meet-cute because KO is overworked and operating in a constant fugue state, so he doesn't take particular note of Breakdown. And Breakdown is loopy with pain and also nervous that all these scary medics are going to kill him. But that's how they first become aware of each other at least.

I haven't totally mapped out this next part, but at some point Breakdown gets very upset--maybe something to do with a member of his combiner team dying, or the combiner program failing or something . . . Anyway, he wants to get away from the other 'Cons for a bit, so he goes to this little abandoned, nonfunctional ship that's been sitting in 'Con territory forever.

And while he's sitting in the ship, brooding . . . the engines come online.

Because Knock Out, previously a gregarious bot, has been slowly, silently Losing It as more and more of his medic friends die around him. He's long since stopped trying to make friends with the new trainees being brought in . . . What's the point when they, too, will die? He just works and keeps to himself and works more, except today he stopped working and came here and managed to get the engines going. And now, with no supplies, with no plan, in the midst of a breakdown, he is going to fly this ship away from the war that is mentally destroying him.

And Breakdown--a loyal Decepticon--is horrified to find he's along for the ride.

Breakdown runs into the control room and demands that KO return to the 'Con army. So Knock Out tries to kill Breakdown. There's no sassiness, no quips. He is remote and expressionless and robotic, and the fulfillment of every terrible stereotype that Breakdown has about medics.

Breakdown locks himself in a storage room, and eventually (through the door) manages to convince Knock Out that he needs BD to help him pilot the ship. (Also, both armies are shooting at their ship the entire time.) From there, there's a long period of BD pulling Knock Out out of the shell he's built around himself, and Knock Out convincing Breakdown that he has more value than as a piece of equipment for the Decepticons, and they learn to trust each other and eventually becoming partners and lovers.

And they bounce around adventuring and doing odd jobs for a long time before they eventually get roped into working for the Decepticon Army again.

How do you feel about the be careful what you wish for trope ? Cause i love that trope

Like i can totally imagine some bot like breakdown stumbling upon some old relic that apperently grant wishes , and breakdown decides to humor itself by wishing to be the greatest/strongest bot ever

Then he stores the relic somewhere and goes about his day

The "problem"being he didnt especify very much , he wanst specific with his wish which always lead to trouble

His growth is slow , he barely notices his slightly bigger apetite or how he is slowly packing more pounds ( granted with his chest is hard to look down )

Barely notices when he has trouble passing through a door , and doesnt bother to much when a standard datapad looks too small in his hands

He does notices when he wins fights easier , and has bigger results on the gym

Only way latter he realizes that maybe he just isnt having a bigger apettite , especially when he finally notices his fat/muscle barely contained by armor , even more he cant go through the bar door

Its quite problematic when he cant find the relic to fix the mess

But maybe it not going to be too bad be this size forever , the benefits including being unbeatable , cause when someone punches his thick ball gut he doesnt even feel , and he is always the tallest bot in the room

And Knockout has plenty of ideas to acomodate his new size in day to day life , as well for some fun activities

Nice. Honestly, that's not too far out from the effects of the Auto/bot relics in TF/P.

And BD ignoring his growing weight because he can't see past his chest! Delicious.
