#it’s Bumblebee and Jazz and Prowl and Soundwave and probably a few others

[thegrinningghost]

random-ass idea, but I saw art of Soundwave in a trench coat and with a hat, so now I gotta ask:

Transformers x Carmen Sandiego?

[vacantcassette]

I think the Transformer One trailer is trying to trick us

Ok hear me out-

Recently there has been a trend of big-time trailers subverting audience expectations to keep a big reveal a secret. (Looking at Marvel/Spiderman.) I have to give it to Hasbro first because it looks like there is every single Transformer in this trailer. (People were even spotting Jazz, Mirage, etc. in that wide shot of the team looking down.)

But what stuck out to me was the scene with Soundwave, Starscream, and Shockwave.

Because those three (from my knowledge) don't really interact until they are a part of the Decepticon force. And this is the origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron.

So what's going on???

My big out-of-the-pond theory is that Soundwave and Shockwave were edited in for the trailer. Hear me out!

Hasbro wants to include all their major hitting characters in the trailer to grab the audience's attention and add a few easter eggs to get everyone looking closer. (A lot of seekers I've noticed.) Okay, a lot of seekers. I counted several. I know that they were in abundance in the G1 show. (I know it was probably budget reasons but still.)

My shot-in-the-dark theory for the main plotline is that this is like a round-up for both of the factions to fight whatever enemy it is. (Quintession???) Orion Pax already has Bumblebee and Elita and will probably meet Prowl and Ratchet. From what we've seen D-16 will meet his three commanders. But not at once like the trailer shows!

I need to get to the point.

Starscream already having a sort of leadership role but it's with the seekers. D-16 and Orion Pax have to convince them to join their side to fight the bad guy and it's possibly a point of contention between the two because, we all know Starscream and violence. (Also there were a lot of shots showing seekers in explosions and my Primus if they reference Vos-)

Soundwave and Shockwave aren't gonna be at Starscream's side, but other seekers. (Please Hasbro I beg give me Skywarp and Thundercracker.) Soundwave and Shockwave will already be teaming up with them or about to team up with them or refusing to team up. (Who cares this post turned into seeker central.)

Or the movie is gonna oversimplify everything and have the three of the high command be there to meet D-16. (Give me strength I hope not.)

TLDR: Soundwave and Shockwave were edited in for the trailer only and Starscream is ruler of the seekers. (And this post is a mess.)

More of Ideas of TF ONE x The Lion King (1994)

Still working on it, but I want to show the full roles I had chosen. Plus a few things I'll add later on.

CHOSEN ROLES Orion Pax/Optimus Prime - Simba D-16/Megatron - Nala Jetfire/Skyfire - Zazu (not exactly) B-127/Bumblebee - Timon (not exactly?) Cliffjumper - Pumbaa (not exactly?) Zeta Prime - Mufasa Alpha Trion - Rafiki (sort of) Sentinel Prime - Scar/Taka Airachnid - Zira The Quintessons - The Hyenas

SHARING ROLES Prima Prime, Solus Prime - Sarabi (They'll be like a caretaker for Orion. I also have some plans for them as well) They would sometimes share the role with Zeta, but briefly. Megatronus Prime, Nexus Prime - Sarafina (Mostly teaching a few students to become the Lord or Protector of the Prime) Darkwing, Trackers - Zira's Lioness/Outlanders (Similar to Scar's followers that was theorized during in TLK)

EXTRA ROLES Elita-1 and Jazz, even Prowl and Ratchet will be also like the friends of Simba (Like Tojo, Malka, maybe Chumvi, Tama) Soundwave and Shockwave have extra roles, they'll also have somewhat relationships with D-16 like Nala with Mheetu (a scrapped character who was Nala's little brother) Arcee, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker and Wheeljack are extras while also somewhat similar as the other lionesses (Same with Red Alert, Bluestreak, Brawn, Hound, Ramjet, Mirage, Dirge and Thrust) Possibly more, but who knows. Most would be mentioned. The Other Seekers (Mainly Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywrap, Slipstream and Redwing) will appear later on. (Will explain soon~)

EXTRA SCENES How Simba and Nala become friends (Mostly from the Disney storybook version yet I'd got an idea) - The Friendship or How Orion Pax meet D-16 and later on meeting others. Plus unknowingly the start of The Conjunx Ritus between Orion and D Showing the lives under Scar's Region/Ruling (I had learn a bit from the musical and the live action, plus seeing how the other fans done it. I have an idea) - Showing the changing harsh lives of D-16 (mainly), Elita, Jazz, Ratchet and Prowl. During when Simba is growing while Timon and Pumbaa look after him (Thanks to Lion King 1/2, I do have an idea or two) - Orion surviving with Bumblebee and Cliffjumper in the jungle (from TF ONE).

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER PRIMES? Well, the rest would probably be died or I'm still working on an idea for them. Micronus Prime and Onyx Prime are still unknown. The rest are probably decease. I might change my mind.

SONG LYRICS IN IT? Unknown, but again probably not. However, you guys are free to play the songs when the scenes comes up.

WILL THERE BE OTHER SHIPS IN IT? Yes, I think (ish). Probably mentioned or hints. If you guys notices the names, you might guess the pairs. I am planning to add Starscream with Jetfire/Skyfire... (I actually like them as friends, but also most of the times as a couple) We'll see how the plot goes once I work on it.

CAN WE POSSIBLY DRAWN OUT THE SCENES OF THE FANFIC YOU'RE WORKING ON IN THE FUTURE? Yes, it's up to you guys. But only if you want to. Sadly, I cannot drawn mech, robot or robotic like beings yet (ish). I'm still practicing 😅

Heads up, I have bad grammar and many typos, but I am trying to catch them and using Google Doc. Anyway... There are probably more ideas since I'm still working on them. But that's all for now.

RELATIONSHIP

Decepticon Prime Au

(Want to clarify that Megatronous is Megatron or basically D-16, and Megatronus Prime are separate people. If you didn’t understand that I just wanted to point that out real quick)

What about the Autobots? The Decepticons? So who’s with optimus?

Well after what went down of course some would blame Orion for their leader’s death. Cough Starscream. Maybe even Soundwave at first but it soon subsides as they both need to focus on what to do next. Later down the main line, it would be the main Decepticons but a few additions. Jazz, Ratchet, Bumblebee, etc.

I do have in mind to have some character who will still be a part of the Autobots, perhaps they will defect to the Decepticons in the future. Like Prowl hell be a part of the autobots but his loyalty to the Autobots may change due to a very handsome annoying Decepticon (It’s Jazz)

Most are with the Decepticons, either being acquainted with Orion or they went ahead and joined for another reason.

Ratchet Joined of course to help those in need at the lower-caste. He trusts Orion and the questionable friends he surrounds himself with but he plays it off as he doesn’t trust any mech here in treating a wound properly. (He genuinely cares for everyone well being)

Bumblebee, right now I’m thinking of him having a father-son relationship with Optimus of course. Either adopted or actually being his sparkling, whether it was Orion who carried him or It was Megatron I'm not sure yet either. If it was Orion carrying then he probably found out he was sparked after Megatron died and the sparkling would be born. Megatron when he finally has his memories back again would be shocked but also angry that he did not just die and left his beloved alone but their sparkling as well. He would be also worried about meeting his sparkling for the first time as both won’t know what to do once seeing each other. He probably dreads it, that his kid might hate him for not being in their life and leaving their carrier alone.

(Brother you fucking died, how the hell would he blame you or hate you. It not like you wanted to die anyways, even if you didn’t take the shot Orion would of died)

Jazz, like I said he would have joined the Decepticons with Orion as they are friends. He is the type of mech to get you talking and probably use it to blackmail you. But he is a friendly guy. I don't have much for him right now but one thing he likes to do is to annoy a specific autobot at high command. (JazzProwl)

Starscream, oh boy well Skystar is one of my weaknesses so of course I have to add that in. I was going to have Soundwave be his support but after Cosmic Orchid’s idea, I'll have Starscream be Optimus’s Support instead. It makes more sense actually.

This is what they said VVVVVVVVV

############################################################################################################### To play off Starscream's and Skyfire's relationship in G1, Starscream, instead of a backstabber, is the most loyal and the closest to Orion as he lost Skyfire due to the machinations of the Senate and Sentinel Prime. Basically, when the Thirteen Primes were ambushed, the High Guard rushed to help but we're overwhelmed because *somebody* leaked the stats and tactics of the High Guard. General Skyfire, Prima Prime's second in command, sacrificed himself to buy time for the High Guard to escape. Starscream, Megatronus Prime's second in command, never forgives himself for not staying with Skyfire until the end. As such, when he hears how Optimus lost his life to the Senate like he did, Starscream takes Orion under his wing and becomes his biggest supporter.

To make it more heart wrenching, have the Senate keep Skyfire in a medically induced coma so that they can use him as the basis for the Sentinel Project. Brainwashed Megatron somehow frees him and so Skyfire vows to serve him until he can find his love.

What happens after can be up to you.

##############################################################################################################

I’m imagining a scene, a meeting between high command on what to do next. Their leader is dead. Soundwave says it was Orion's fault that he should never let him get that close, he was a liability. Soundwave blames himself as well but also pushes his anger at Orion. He doesn’t usually show emotion but this was their leader, the mech that would lead them to victory ,abolishing the corrupt system. I would say he idolizes Megatron after getting to know him more and having him die hits him pretty hard especially since it would mean to him that he failed once again ( Rip Megatronous Prime and Megatron). Jazz would argue with Soundwave going back and forth as Deadlock keeps them from killing each other.

Then at the Medbay Ratchet is patching up Orion checking if his upgrade from the Matrix has caused any malfunctions or errors. Before he goes to other patients he says one last thing to comfort him. “ You're not alone Orion, remember that ” he leaves off to the next injured mech.

Orion was deep in thought, going through his processor. Going over his memory files of the incident. The yelling, the screams, the pain. Staring down the barrel, his body couldn’t move, he deserved this, not him, it was his fault, he should have died not him.

He heard his voice for the last time before the bang– Someone grabbed onto his shoulder, he quickly turned around before grabbing onto strangers' arm, almost crushing it with his new found strength.

His Combat computer activates, he winces as he is not used to the newly added mod. The stranger takes his servo off him. “Hey..-Okay I know I shouldn't have done that… but I see.. the doctor patch you up” he leans to the side. “ umm.. Frag this is awkward” Starscream rubs the back of his neck. He sighs before moving in front of him “ I'm going to say this once. Before you do something stupid!!” he points at him.

“It is not your fault” “ Don’t give me that look, I can tell that you were blaming yourself about it, despite your Upgrade I can still read you like a book”. Orion avoids his gaze. Starscream sighs again as he sits next to him. “I know what it feels like… especially when dealing with these ugly thoughts, thinking you deserve the pain, punishing yourself for something you had no control over.” Then he turns to look at Orion. “The pain will never go away but it gets better overtime. You have plenty of good friends who are there for you but if you want to talk to someone who has been through this before you can always talk to me.”

Starscream being nice???? Well…. EYah. Having him support Orion with his new responsibilities and being there when he needs it.

Skyfire, hmmm not much for him but I will have him taken by the Autobots and use him as a way to make their Lie believable to Megatron. Think about the coma, a really good idea but what about another victim getting brainwashed when he does wake up.

(honestly If I ever do write this I might add a whole chapter of them seeing each other again and how sky does not remember them but feels like they do. Hmmm Maybe he is one of the people that get Megs out of here and back to their respective lovers.)

Soundwave is difficult to decide as I would believe he would also hate Orion but also himself. Would he be like og Starscream and try to kill him? Not sure.. He’s smarter than that. I think he would resent him but continue his duties for the causes as long as Orion works for the cause.

That's all for now. I'll prob work on how Autobots and Decepticons are in the future and maybe more about megs.

[soundwavereporting]

Do you think that idw Rumble and Frenzy resent Megatron/Soundwave in some way because they had to be reformatted? Would love to know what you think of their relationship with SW is post-war.

TAKE TWO

tl;dr, yes, I think they probably do (especially Soundwave) and I wish that had been explored in the comic!

The only time I can remember offhand Rumble and Frenzy ever explicitly acknowledging their relationship with Soundwave is in the OP comic, where one of them essentially tells Cosmos ‘we used to like [Soundwave] BEFORE he started hanging out with Autobots’, and weirdly, Cosmos doesn’t seem to take it that personally--they even call him ‘Cosmey’--which leads me to believe it’s Soundwave’s new alliance with Optimus that they’re bitter about (and rightfully so!), and Cosmos has picked up on that.

Of course there might be times in Phase 1 that I’m forgetting about, but most of the time, it’s the birds or Ravage who are hyping up Soundwave or actually talking to him. Rumble and Frenzy barely get a mention in Soundwave’s first flashback issue, and iirc they don’t show up in his flashbacks during the OP comic. Soundwave’s only real interaction with them during phase 1 is during that very ‘‘‘interesting’‘ time when Frenzy was ‘crazy’, but that was thankfully short lived, and a lot of Frenzy’s tendencies towards hearing too much/overstimulation were passed on to Soundwave when phase 2 started, anyway. But from that, Soundwave did care about Frenzy.

The only other indication of their relationship is during the Prowlstator arc, and even that’s up to interpretation: when everyone gets reformatted, that would’ve been the perfect time for Rumble and Frenzy to get new, non-cassette bodies if they were so inclined. Having two extra full-sized soldiers could only have helped the attempted takeover but for whatever reason, they ended up staying with Soundwave, and later in the series they pull the same ‘all the cassettes hide in Soundwave and then pull a sneak attack’ that they did in Megatron: Origin.

From the start of Phase 1 to the end of Phase 3, both Soundwave and Optimus’s close friends/officers/coworkers/support systems radically change (or in Soundwave’s change, just get whittled down); While Ratbat and Bumblebee both die and Ravage, Rodimus, and Ratchet go over to MTMTE/LL, Jazz, Prowl, Rumble, and Frenzy all end up leaving distancing themselves specifically because of decisions Optimus and Soundwave make, respectively.

And it’s the similarities between Jazz + Rumble & Frenzy that really get me! This all goes down in within a few issues! We get more insight into Jazz’s motives than Rumble and Frenzy, but I think it’s safe to assume the twins’ motives for not staying close with Soundwave are similar enough to why Jazz didn’t go back to Optimus, albeit in a far more blasè manner (”We’re trying to be good but it’s hard.”)

EDIT: having reread the issue in question, they did go back to Sanctuary, then promptly started taking weapons from the station and selling them on Earth, which almost makes it funnier because I absolutely refuse to believe Soundwave was so oblivious he didn’t know that was happening. Looking at this from the POV of Soundwave being an Optimus stan, he knew and didn’t care, because Earth was gonna become a part of the Council of Worlds. From the POV of Soundwave not being an Optimus stan......maybe he hoped it’d sabotage Earth’s acceptance into the Council somehow?

EDIT 2: having now checked the wiki, they were doing this before and after the junkion arc, but tbh my point still stands. 

Plus--finding Rumble and Frenzy on Earth--a place populated by beings Soundwave has to actually focus to hear--should’ve been easy, if Soundwave felt so inclined to go to them and stop the gunrunning. But he didn’t--aside from plot reasons, it’s likely he knew how they felt and was giving them space. I find it hard to believe that the colonists didn’t tell OP what happened between them and Jazz. Like Soundwave, Optimus leaves Jazz and doesn’t seek him out until they happen to meet up later in the series. 

I also can’t help but think about the fact that Rumble and Frenzy are probably the ones who’ve known Megatron + stuck with him the longest! Impactor went to the Autobots, Terminus...happened. The Constructicons were with him almost as long, and they explicitly wanted to go! I imagine maybe Rumble and Frenzy wanted to go as well, and like Prowl, Soundwave was like ‘no way’. Maybe that was the start of the end for them, and him joining up with Optimus was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Essentially, I think they didn’t like it at first, got used to it--enough to want to stick around with Soundwave & the other cassettes (even when they had the chance to get reformatted!), but once Soundwave changed, they decided to split.

[secret-engima]

Just curious :) If you could pick six autobots and six decepticons for the main characters of a new and upcoming tv series, which ones would you pick?

Hmmmm that entirely depends on multiple factors about this theoretical new show? Like- is it set on Earth, Cybertron, or a new planet? Is it pre war, during war, post war? Is the writer someone that can be trusted with my beloved characters and won't kill them off for cheap shock value or turn one of them into a total psychopath just because he/she has canonical lower empathy than others (looking at you, comic Prowl)?

But like. Assuming all those factors line up favorably....

Autobots:

Jazz

Prowl

Chromia

Silverbolt

Moonracer

Elita-1

Why these ones? Mostly because they don't get hardly any screen time either in their original shows or especially post the original shows. I adore Optimus and Bumblebee, obviously, but I think it would be interesting to expand on a new crew *properly* (Robots in Disguise does not *count*). Elita-1 would be the leader and Optimus's wife, or at least his female counterpart, with Chromia as her supporting officer. Jazz and Prowl probably wouldn't show up until a few eps in, for added flavor, and assimilate into the command structure without any of the sexism problems shows like to throw in there for cheap drama (you can't tell me Mr Vibes Aggressively To Earth Lingo And Music and Mr Logic and Competence Are My Keywords would be fussed about obeying two femmes who've been in this situation longer than them, assuming this is a during war show)

If the show is like- pre or post war, then these are still my picks because they would all be living very different lives and seeing what draws them together would be interesting.

Silverbolt is there because I'm tired of the Decepticons having All Sky All The Time

Decepticons:

Soundwave + Cassettes (yes they count as one entry on this list, Soundwave gets to keep his/her kids fight me)

Knockout from TF Prime

Breakdown from TF Prime (not gonna break up the comedy duo, like, come on)

Starscream

Skywarp

Thundercracker

Again, picking from my favorites or ones I think would have interesting chemistry with each other and/or the Autobots. Not including Megatron because if Optimus isn't there to balance him out then the autobots are doomed. *Could* have included a Decepticon femme to be Elita-1's rival but I don't like most of the Decepticon options and Arachnid/Arachnea is ... kinda boring to me save for her Animated version. That and seeing Starscream attempt to Be In Charge only for Elita-1 to think circles around him while Thundercracker and Soundwave stand in back being the long-suffering Ignored Braincells would be prime comedy material.

Again this is assuming it's during war. But I think my choices could still work Post-War if for the Decepticons they either broke out of jail, all these bots are stranded somewhere and unaware why their respective sides have gone dark, or, if going for comedy, if these idiots are all on essentially Post War Community Service and Starscream keeps trying to revive the Decepticon cause and *failing*.

Yes I know in the comics Starscream gets to be like. An actual competent politician. However:

Starscream's Entire Existence through the war has frankly always hinged on him being potentially intelligent, but then his arrogance is so suffocating he is his own worst enemy. Frankly I'm convinced from Prime and Animated that the only reason he survived at all, let alone stayed Megatron's Second, is Megatron recognized the convenience of having someone Savage enough to take out any competition that would try to kill Megatron without "Starscream's approval or command" but was himself too smotheringly arrogant to ever actually succeed in his own assassination plots.

Also bonus points if this hypothetical show has Knockout and Breakdown and/or Soundwave and his kids pull out a redemption arc. If it's Soundwave bonus bonus points for it being because this guy started accidentally parenting Moonracer and now doesn't know how to stop.

An alternate to the Seeker Trio that I'm mentioned because I was equally tempted, would be uh- the TF Prime samurai Decepticon Twins. I forget what their names were. I think the one that actually gets screen time in the show would be a *fascinating* foil to Elita-1 if he was the one in command, and the missing third could be either the cassettes collectively or *possibly* Barricade from the movies, because honestly he was kinda interesting. In a severely feral way.

Not sure if that's what you wanted anon, but there you go.

[baebeyza]

Heya! ~

First of all, thank you for everyone who voted! Didn’t expect 44 people and it sure helped me in places to decide on things and being able to think of more plot :D

Lemme just go through all the questions under the cut:

1. Big or small cast?  Big cast but only caring about few does suit me! If it were a small cast, I’d probably have gone with a plot structure similar to Beast Wars. Like this, I can make the premise more like TFA (the premise is like TFA in a lot of ways btw).

And it does suit me as well to not have to figure out an arc for too many characters, I don’t want this whole thing to be too long. 

2. From which continuity would you like characters? This is a little hard to decipher, but suffice to say, most people want more G1 characters. Beast Wars and Japanese G1 have more votes as well! To Beast Wars: I love Beast Wars and its characters, however, I do not like to draw them. Their designs are cool and it’s not like I can’t draw them, I just prefer not to. So if I were to bring Beast Wars characters into this, I would change their designs for me to feel more comfortable drawing them. On another note, I also don’t like drawing animals (at all) so I’d probably give them a mechanic alt-mode with animal features in their robot mode (like the Breast Force in Victory)

As for Japanese G1, I do have quite a few planned! ~ As for G1 characters which never appear in another show...gotta say, most of those I don’t care for either. Some I do, but most not. Might bring them in somehow, but don’t expect them to have bigger roles. (exceptions exist, like Springer, love me the dude!)

3. Choose a dead Prime who ruled before Optimus! Sentinel won! Did like some of the extra choices as well though, like Prowl. Also noteworthy to me, no one voted for Arcee xD Guess no one wanted her dead.

4. Choose an Optimus Prime squad! So, for this I wanted to pick the two most voted guys and girls! And coincidentally, those happen to be the most of voted of them all! For guys, we have Jazz (not surprised by this) and Hot Rod, and for the girls, Elita and Arcee.

Guess that’ll be the squad.

Also, note here: A few people voted Ratchet as a custom answer and do not fret! He will be in this! This Optimus squad is simply a little group of Optimus and his close friends, and since I want to have a young Oppy, I want his friends to be in the same age range. On the same note, just because some characters aren’t in the friend group, doesn’t mean they won’t appear at all. Windblade and Jetfire for example are gonna be in this!

5. Choose a Megatron squad! This is about Megatron’s generals btw - characters who aren’t in this group can still appear! (examples are Cyclonus, Megaempress and Sixshot)

And again I want to choose equal part guys and girls, so for the guys, it’s Soundwave (boy getting loved I see), Starscream and Shockwave, and for the ladies, we have Nightbird, Blackarachnia and Strika.

A little note here: Because a friend commented on this I wanna make it clear: Drift/Deadlock will be based on the Aligned version, NOT on the IDW version. I had made it clear in the poll that I don’t like IDW1. (which I guess some people didn’t read, given that Tarn was given as a custom answer)

6. One love is story is planned, want any more?

I feel like I should have specified who the love story is about - It is about Megatron and Ultra Magnus. Big time. As for the answers, yes I can live them all! They don’t contradict each other anyway :D

7. Any ships you wanna see in this? Okay, the tricky stuff - as I said, the main love story is Megatron x Ultra Magnus, so any ship-wish that includes Megatron or Magnus here, sorry, not happening. I mean most don’t care, but for those who do:

- Dratchet: I know it’s an IDW thing, I can still think of something with the versions I have in mind if you still want that. - Windstream: Friends of mine wanted this, and I will try my best to make something nice out of it!

- JazzWave: Gotta see, so far I wouldn’t know how to include it

- Giving Arcee love: Got something nice and sapphic planned for her!

- Optimus/Elita: Again a friend wanted this, and I too would like to see them in a truly romantic light, so I’m going to include it!

- Happy ones, for the bad guys as well: Hell yeah! - Simpatico: I do not have Percy or Brainstorm planned in this

- Hot Rod/Arcee: I had another idea for Arcee, sorry! - Anything with Jazz: Good to know, if I can’t make it work with Soundwave, I’ll try with someone else (Hot Rod perhaps)

- Strika/Lugnut: Why not? Something in the background, as I have no plans for Lugnut - Windscream: Thing is, there are people who had this ship in the “Do not want” question that follows. Personally, I am indifferent to this ship, but since more people don’t want it (and because I have plans for Windstream), I’m going to pass on this. WaveWave: Gonna see how it goes with Jazz!

8. Anything you don’t want? Most people don’t care, which is nice, as for the things people listed: - Sparklings: Never planned them anyway, I want to go for something else to get parent/child dynamics. - Windscream, MegaStar, MegOP: See upwards, not going to happen here, same with DooP, since I wanna go with OpLita - “If functionalism exists, please don’t make the oppressed characters the villains for fighting back”: NO WORRIES, IS NOT PLANNED! Megatron’s backstory has no freedom fighter motive whatsoever. - Manipulative/abusive ships: Not planned - Bumblebee: Good luck, buddy, I didn’t have him planned either! xD - Slash: Tough luck, buddy, this will be one hell of a MagsMegs ride!

- Negativity directed at me: Thanks, pal! I do not wish for that either! :>

ALRIGHT, that would be it!

Again thanks for everyone who voted! I do hope to start with this in the near future and I hope it will be something enjoyable! <3 If there are questions about this, go ahead! <3 I’d be delighted :>

The Transformers, Issues #1-21: A Recap, For Research and Reference  Purposes, Because Otherwise it’s Just Going to Be Confusing

Before we begin, here’s a lightning round style recap on the 21 issues that took place prior to Roberts’ involvement:

Three years after the events of All Hail Megatron, the Autobots are in hiding, trapped on Earth with limited supplies, watching on as humanity attempts to rebuild itself. They don’t offer to help, because that would probably get them shot at- humans are still a little wary of the giant robots that friggin’ destroyed NYC, even if the Autobots are supposed to be the good guys. Sometimes the narration gets a little funny with words.

I know it has multiple meanings, but come on, who talks like this? I’ve always assumed Optimus Prime was the one narrating here, which is… well, IDW Prime has a very self-flagellating and elegant way of speaking. For better or for worse. God help you if Furman is at the wheel.

Of course, because the story needs conflict, Skywatch happens. Skywatch is a human agency whose job is to locate and eliminate all giant space robot threats. Prowl blows cover when the humans make it obvious that the kid gloves are off, ready to kill a Decepticon named Breakdown, and all hell breaks loose, as it is wont to do whenever the Transformers are involved.

Also, everyone looked like this, and it was bad for my eyeballs:

That night-demon is Ironhide. Don’t get too attached to him, he won’t be around for long. But then maybe also do, because he comes back, thanks to the power of comic books and being a giant robot. Do whatever you want, I’m not your mom.

Ironhide’s death leads Optimus to remove himself as leader of the Autobots, and he surrenders himself to Skywatch, because he hasn’t made a heroic sacrifice in the last twenty minutes.

By way of yet more property damage.

Optimus doesn’t name a successor, because he no longer feel fit to choose one. It’s probably actually so there’s plot tension over who the next Prime will be.

Also, Spike Witwicky fucks. He fucks and it’s awful.

With Optimus gone, Hot Rod- Rodimus now, though it’s never established when he decided to change his name or why- gets the hell out of dodge, having had his fill of Earth, and he takes a few friends along with him. Or, at least, he tries to. Decepticons kind of ruin that plan… and then they don’t, because they want in on some of that sweet, sweet getting the hell off of Earth. After all, the war’s over- no point in fighting anymore, right? Of course, Swindle is a part of the group, so take whatever that guy says with a grain of salt. A big grain, like the ones that come out of those fancy sea salt grinders.

Back with the guys who’ve decided to stick around for Optimus’ inevitable return, Bumblebee’s been nominated as the new leader of the Autobots. So much for being the kid appeal character- boy’s got responsibilities now.

Right after democracy happens, Ultra Magnus shows up looking for the boss.

He’s here to look into Ironhide’s death and Optimus’ defection/surrender to the humans. Dude must have booked it to get here, because that was like yesterday.

Any and all interactions between Spike Witwicky and Optimus go pretty much like this:

More people leave Bumblebee’s leadership. Rodimus is hunted down by Ultra Magnus for treason. Swindle channels his inner bisexual and starts dishing out some sweet finger guns.

He has excellent form.

Skywatch uses tech to lock the Autobots into their alt-modes, and starts targeting the defectors, in an attempt to get Optimus to talk to them.

Thundercracker watched TV for a year and a half, then had a midlife crisis, and now he’s following Swindle. Swindle starts asking Rodimus for more troops- er, friends to help them get off of Earth faster, trying to butter him up by calling him Rodimus Prime. I’d love to be able to tell you how that makes him feel, but you try parsing this friggin’ facial expression.

Magnus shows up, tries to arrest everyone, then leaves. Thundercracker has an epiphany about the nature of beauty he’s found in humanity, his soliloquy contrasted with the visual of a baby with a man’s head, and it’s genuinely upsetting to see.

All the faction insignias are photoshopped on, and it’s kind of distracting.

Swindle betrays Rodimus. Quelle surprise. Menasor shows up, and starts throwing robots around. Optimus Prime is released from prison and gets in touch with his inner monster truck. Rodimus steals Magnus’ ship and peaces out.

Over in space, the Decepticon forces have resorted to cannibalism to supplement rations, and Starscream has the Matrix of Leadership on a necklace.

The art switches over to something sort of like Hellboy, and that’s pretty cool. Too bad it only lasts for a single issue.

Skywatch and the Autobots form a tentative alliance. Megatron isn’t actually dead. Two guys in Skywatch throw themselves through a plate glass window for funsies. Spike commits a robot revenge killing. North Korea starts producing energon, and is working with the Decepticons.

Comic books are wild, y’all.

Spike doesn’t respect Bumblebee’s authority, going completely around him to talk to Prime while he’s having some alone time. The US President addresses the public in front of a hyperrealistic American flag.

The Autobots go covert in order to violate the UN sanctions. All the Transformers have vanity plates with their names on them. The Combaticons have a picnic on the lawn and show off their polyglotism. Optimus Prime gets in touch with his inner monster truck. The Autobot Naval forces get involved.

Bumblebee uses his pretty eyes on Thundercracker to try and convince him to help out, seeing as the Autobots don’t have any real air support at present, but it doesn’t work.

They’re very pretty. Thundercracker must have an iron will. Everyone gets weirdly handsome. The phrase “honked off” is used. Optimus Prime gets in touch with his inner monster truck.

I’m like 80% sure that license plate isn’t legal.

China gets involved, and it gets a little weird. Nuclear action is taken.

Cosmos will not be getting a lot more respect around here.

Thundercracker commits acts of terror to destroy the energon plants. Bumblebee addresses the rioting masses, and gets shot with a laser gun for his troubles.

Rodimus makes a pun and gets shot out of the sky. He survives by pulling a Indiana Jones fridge maneuver.

Starscream is turning into Gollum. The Cerebroshells are used with great flourish by Rodimus, who then holds Starscream at gunpoint. He shoots the Matrix.

Wow.

Rodimus attempts to sneak off of the asteroid, only to run into a rebuilt Megatron. Megatron proceeds to shoot him so hard in the chest he’s rocketed into orbit and is missing most of his torso.

The Don Figueroa cover of issue #14 seems to suggest that shooting Optimus Prime in the crotch is a valid plan of attack.

The gun Bumblebee was shot with looks an awful lot like Megatron’s alt-mode. Optimus isn’t mad, just disappointed. Ultra Magnus rejoins the narrative. Not a single human being in the military has a haircut that would pass regulation. The anti-robot cult is introduced. A sign that says “Fuck Robits” is seen in a protest. Soundwave shows up with his awful gremlin children and busts all the captured Decepticons out.

This guy needs to learn to double-knot his laces.

Megatron takes a little vacation in South America.

The gunman who shot Bumblebee was hearing voices from his electronics.

Megatron now comes in grape flavor and the Decepticons have a space bridge.

Megatron has a phone in his hand, and it’s very silly looking. As in, he makes a phone shape with his hand and that just works. I can’t take him seriously. The Megatron guns are actually part of Megatron, and were used to make the gunman shoot Bumblebee. Speaking of Bumblebee, he’s got one doctor keeping him alive at present, and it ain’t Ratchet. It’s some little old man.

Thundercracker comes home to find Starscream has broken in. Starscream has the Decepticon insignia on eight different parts of his body, including the crotchal region.

They show a woman get crushed to death on the news.

Brawn is given a solo mission, finds Starscream, and kicks his ass.

Megatron shows up on Earth. Ultra Magnus transforms to confront him, but he was carrying Bumblebee in his alt-mode and I’m not sure where he went when that happened. Megatron and Magnus have a little banter, then Megatron is shot, where it’s revealed that he’s actually running around in leather chaps and hot pants.

What a fashion icon.

Optimus and his team emerge from the depths of the ocean, having had their plane crash about three issues back. Everyone looks very put-out by the situation.

Brawn helps Thundercracker get to the doctor’s office.

Optimus Prime and Megatron finally have their little reunion. Turns out Megatron dumped all the Autobots with Ultra Magnus inside the city limits, where a bunch of hooligans with Megatron guns live. No word as to where Bumblebee went when Magnus transformed, but he’s here now. Jazz takes Spike and his coworker to save the day.

Megatron is having a moment.

Optimus fucking shoots Soundwave in the face, thus making himself just as bad as Megatron…? Not really how war works, but okay! Crisis averted.

Just kidding, because Jazz shoots a cop so hard he vaporizes. Good work, buddy.

Optimus goes on a solo mission to go kick Megatron’s ass, and jumps out of a plane, punching through the Decepticon’s ceiling. Megatron invites everyone to come out and watch him and Optimus beat the shit out of each other. Cosmos and Jetfire throw a satellite at Megatron from orbit.

An excellent question.

Megatron brings Optimus over to Omega Supreme’s digs and surrenders himself, then is promptly placed in the full-body harness. It’s… it’s something. Megatron reveals that it was Spike who murdered Scrapper the Constructicon like fourteen issues ago. Optimus is all “no waaaay, he’d never do that, I’d trust Spike with my life and also my wallet.”

Optimus immediately puts Prowl on the case though.

Rodimus falls down onto a planet, the Matrix having superglued itself to his chest to keep him from bleeding out. He looked pretty dead the last time we saw him, but he’s doing loads better now. He’s captured and made to be the power source of a large ship, so those who inhabit said ship can get off of the doomed planet they’ve been trapped on for ages. Rodimus ain’t cool with that, so he blows up his restraints with his flame-out ability and runs off. He hides in a cave, only to be attacked by a massive monster. Don’t worry though, because he’s saved by the mysterious Jangle Man.

The Jangle Man is Wheelie, who’s gone full Castaway.

Rodimus gets patched up and then watches Wheelie get high off music.

One of the lackys that brought Rodimus aboard the first ship shows up and attacks, only to be subdued and immediately spills all the beans he has. Rodimus channels his inner anime character.

Rodimus cooks up a plan to get everyone home, and it involves trickery, lies, and the power of music to tame the savage beast. He straps his chest into the power cables and, with only an addled Wheelie to watch over him, does the thing.

Rodimus wakes up to the Matrix having been removed from his chest. Problem: Wheelie piloted them to Cybertron, which is currently a gigantic, uninhabitable mess at the moment. Rodimus tries to get them pointed in the direction of Earth, but that doesn’t work out so hot.

Someone breaks into the ship. It’s Ironhide and Sunstreaker. Rodimus declares himself dead. He’s not, but he might end up that way if he lets the scout that just saw them loitering around outside the ship get back to his boss.

Galvatron comes into the picture, and Rodimus books it. They use their rations- because energon is blood, food, fuel, get well soon card, birthday present, and everything else for the Cybertronians- to power the ship and head back to Earth.

Speaking of Earth, Bumblebee’s not dead. He’s got a cane now. Rodimus shows up, gets some weird Bible-like captioning, and Bumblebee about has a conniption over the Matrix. Rodimus is all ‘whatever, little yellow dude’, and so is everyone else, as Rodders goes up to Optimus, hands him the Matrix, and then is officially named Rodimus by the space pope.

Optimus decides he needs to go to Cybertron to kick Galvatron’s ass, and invites anyone who wants to come with.

Bumblebee’s mad that no one’s listening to him anymore, not that they were really doing that anyway.

Optimus and his team fuck off into space, beginning their journey back to Cybertron.

Prowl gets a few minutes alone with Megatron prior to that, though. He’s well on his way to cracking the case of Scrapper’s murder.

Thundercracker fucks off into the sky, surely heading back to his bachelor pad to catch up on his stories.

And THAT, dear children, is the entirety of The Transformers, up to issue #22. We’re all caught up and ready for what’s to come.��

Feb 20 Lost Light Stream @ Soundwave’s Bar - Transformers Prime 63-65

The series is over. Prowl feels let down that in this universe Bumblebee killed Megatron, but in Prowl’s universe Bumblebee got them stuck with Autobot Megatron.

There were three people whose names remained “Guest” all night - Shockwave & Co., Wheeljack, and Bruin. I had to manually change all of those “Guest”s to their actual names. I was going fast so I probably got a few wrong. If Wheeljack suddenly sounds like Predaking at any point, that’s why.

opatoes: SOUNDS you've got those videos! NoodlesAtNight: [[So many of them.]] He says, while fiddling with something behind the bar for a moment. opatoes: ((dangit rabbit still has that nickname problem)) NoodlesAtNight: ((Yeah I'm sorry)) queenjazzy: that is weird)) opatoes: ((All good!)) opatoes: BEEPBEE radioactivibee: (( this mmd is amazing i'm in love radioactivibee: Hey Smokey NoodlesAtNight: ((tonight is TFA MMD night 😄 )) radioactivibee: (( this is lovely omg )) NoodlesAtNight: [[Seat yourselves wherever you wish. Move furniture if need be - as long as it actually moves.]] opatoes: Can I sit on you NoodlesAtNight: *Placing snacks on the bar* radioactivibee: (( ...i just remember that one with TFA Bee and um-OH! Love & Joy! )) radioactivibee: Yes! Because I can't break anymore! queenjazzy: [she goes off to get some snacks before sitting in her normal spot, waiting for Whirl] NoodlesAtNight: ((i stg if that's you wj)) agooddistraction: 😎 opatoes: /He's gonna try to dance to this! radioactivibee: [is never going to take a TFA Megatron seriously ever again] radioactivibee: ...That Optimus's waist is thinner than Arcee's opatoes: /Never took him seriously in the first place but still won't/ radioactivibee: (( !!!! JET TWINS!!!!! )) NoodlesAtNight: *Soundwave nods to Airachnid and the other newcomers. Welcome, welcome. They'll start in roughly ten-twelve kliks.* Txen: ((dinner successfully retrieved B^) )) Bruin: *small stampede because everyone wanted to come see the finale, they'll just find a booth up front* opatoes: sounds sounds sounds get a video with you in it chronosmith: It's that time again. Time to regret that I have an eye left. NoodlesAtNight: [[He already has several with him in them. And his alternates. He will play one before and one after.]] NoodlesAtNight: *Laserbeak floats over to the stampede and makes herself comfortable, like you do.* NoodlesAtNight: [[And believe him - he's regretting this one as much as you, Whirl.]] Jazz. Ugh. radioactivibee: Wow. Jazz. opatoes: /If any of the predacons are here, he's going to grab some snacks and take a seat near them!/ chronosmith: At least you let yourself suffer WITH us. *stakes out a table and gets comfy* NoodlesAtNight: [[It is his duty as a host.]] Bruin: Hello Lazerbeak! * Spotter will scoot over slightly, he will share the head perch for now* NoodlesAtNight: *GASP a shared perch... she's so taking that* radioactivibee: [gonna grab a snack and huddle up on the floor with a blanket] NoodlesAtNight: *Soundwave pings Shockwave. This one may or may not be for him.* queenjazzy: [this music why] Txen: *Darksteel and Skylynx are comfily flopped in dragon mode on the dance floor. they welcome people willing to pay a Snack Tax* Txen: *meanwhile, Shockwave is mildly conflicted* chronosmith: The best I can say is that this dance isn't incredibly sexual to watch. Thank GOD. chronosmith: And, I like his color. He's got good taste. opatoes: /Smokescreen's happy to offer snacks to Darksteel and Skylynx, and is going to flop down close to them./ NoodlesAtNight: [[We will start after this.]] Txen: *is mostly indifferent to these silly videos regardless of 'who' is featured in them. ...mostly* opatoes: START THE DOWNLOAD SOUNDS chronosmith: So far these aren't... nearly as painful as I had expected. I can only attribute this to the lack of Starscream. Txen: *hear hears from the dragons in the audience* chronosmith: *hops up to approach the bar; is Ravage working it this time, too?* NoodlesAtNight: *Yes, he is.* queenjazzy: The music is still grating to the audial sensors however. radioactivibee: Yeah, but you don't like anything fun. opatoes: I think the music's pretty great! It's fun! chronosmith: All right, mech. You run tabs? I don't got anything on me right this second, but you know I'm good for some of the good stuff. NoodlesAtNight: *Ravage gives Whirl a squint* queenjazzy: No one asked you Bug. NoodlesAtNight: =Fine. Order.= radioactivibee: And someone asked /you,/ Spidersqueak? opatoes: ... what is with decepticons and having nice voices chronosmith: Gaugebuster. Tall as you can spare. How many boxes you want in return? radioactivibee: I don't know, but do you remember Dreadwing's? radioactivibee: Dreamy. NoodlesAtNight: [[It was pleasant.]] opatoes: I know, right? radioactivibee: ...Oh right. Spidersqueak, you ripped off Soundwave on the whole "kidnap Ratchet" thing. NoodlesAtNight: *Ravage taps his tail claws three times, then goes to mix up something fit to be called "tall".* opatoes: ..... queenjazzy: I was stating it to no one. radioactivibee: ...Frag, Predaking has a nice voice too. queenjazzy: MY Soundwave never did it. queenjazzy: Because he is dead. chronosmith: *leans on the bar and watches while he waits* opatoes: predaking's voice is so nice radioactivibee: .................. NoodlesAtNight: *Soundwave settles in next to his ally. Time to enjoy tonight.* Txen: *there is a Predaking here, by the way* opatoes: Like- I could listen to jhim read random comm numbers, you know? opatoes: ..... agooddistraction: boom opatoes: WHEELJACK WHEELWHEEL YOU'RE BEING COOL Txen: Darksteel: *snorts* Maybe you just ain't heard enough of it yet. NoodlesAtNight: *Uuuuuuup goes the drink. Have at.* agooddistraction: I'm always cool chronosmith: *nods once his drink is done and takes it in one claw* Three, you got it. Either by Wednesday or next Monday. opatoes: Maybe I could hear more? radioactivibee: Dang Magnus... NoodlesAtNight: *Yes. Punch Magnus. Good.* radioactivibee: (( ...i'm gonna v quickly get food i did not think this out opatoes: You are always cool-- how're you so cool? radioactivibee: Agreed. chronosmith: *NICE move, big guy* queenjazzy: [she enjoys the Predacon is winning against Prime] chronosmith: *makes his way back to his table and hunches over his Gaugebuster, inhaling the bouquet* NoodlesAtNight: \\WHAT'S IT LIKE GETTIN' CARRIED OFF LIKE THAT?\\ chronosmith: PFFT. chronosmith: Scooped you up like a kitten, Shockwave! Ha! opatoes: I wanna be scooped up like that opatoes: I mean opatoes: Kittenwave Txen: Analog flight is less steady than jet propulsion. Txen: *is not a kitten. or a kittenwave* opatoes: ..... chronosmith: It is, but it's so, so much more interesting. opatoes: what is WITH Decepticons and standing above you while you're knocked out NoodlesAtNight: [[It's called intimidation.]] chronosmith: I mean, ALL forms of flight are inferior to rotary flight, let's just settle that now. But Analogue flight is not too shabby. agooddistracyion: They like to feel tall queenjazzy: What Soundwave said. opatoes: Megatron doesn't want me there again pf Txen: I was not asked whether I found it interesting. I was asked what the experience of being carried by a Predacon is like. chronosmith: I was just commenting, mech. queenjazzy: Why are Autobot bases so easy to find? Txen: *could talk about flight bladders and wing structure all day* chronosmith: *he would probably listen* chronosmith: Dunno. I think too few people take advantage of moving bases, personally. queenjazzy: [chinhands] opatoes: ..... queenjazzy: He's so cute when he's grumpy. chronosmith: *sidelong, sly glance at Airachnid* Txen: *privately agrees. not that he's going to admit out loud that his current base is mobile* chronosmith: Something tells me you find ALL of his moods cute, Legs. *snickers* NoodlesAtNight: *Extremely silent agreement.* opatoes: ....... queenjazzy: You know what? I cannot even argue with that. opatoes: Who feels guilty for working with Megatron chronosmith: *snickers again and takes a sip of his drink* Txen: ((magnus no)) opatoes: ultra magnus is pretty bad at inspirational speeches huh Txen: ((hes trying but its so bad every time)) chronosmith: Lord. The worst. NoodlesAtNight: [[You have no idea.]] NoodlesAtNight: [[He eavesdropped on many of them during the war.]] queenjazzy: I was more inspired by reading the instructions on how to heat up energon. opatoes: Kinda miss hearing from him, though chronosmith: I've got a pretty good track record of hyping up mechs before a fight. Y'all should've been there before we raided Temptoria. opatoes: .... Star that wasn't-- okay NoodlesAtNight: \\YEAH? WHAT WAS IT LIKE?\\ chronosmith: Nothing is more stirring than hearing a shipful of mechs chant with you: "We kill 'Cons!" NoodlesAtNight: \\TCH.\\ NoodlesAtNight: *Soundwave shakes his helm. Honestly, Starscream...* queenjazzy: [happy chirping] queenjazzy: [so cute] Txen: *Starscream, why didn't you just level the entire place... imbecile* opatoes: He's- distracting him with technology chronosmith: Uh oh. They've appealed to his... inner nerd. opatoes: ..... NoodlesAtNight: *Decepticon Engineering is indeed very, very impressive.* queenjazzy: Indeed. queenjazzy: It's very easy to do so with actually decent technology is around. Txen: *thats what happens when you have superior resources committed to superior minds* opatoes: Primus I'm glad my Megs hasn't looked at Earth again NoodlesAtNight: [[No, we aren't...]] chronosmith: Pfft. Mama. chronosmith: *makes a very soft, cheeping noise, like a baby bird* radioactivibee: [walks back in with dinner] radioactivibee: Oooooh, so that's how they got Ratchet to work with them. chronosmith: So this is how you seduce mecha to your side. With science. queenjazzy: He does love science. Txen: *all the predacons perk up at that. even Predaking does, a little. Darksteel cheeps back* NoodlesAtNight: [[It's very effective.]] radioactivibee: You should know radioactivibee: ..........Raf opatoes: PFPFF radioactivibee: Raf no. radioactivibee: RAF NO chronosmith: *blinks and looks over* ... *well, he might as well: cheeps again* opatoes: HE'S BECOMING MINI RATCHET NoodlesAtNight: *Laserbeak makes a raspberry noise at Whirl* chronosmith: *swivels his helm over and cheeps back, adorably* chronosmith: *it sounds just like it did when he was temporarily a bird* Txen: Darksteel: You sound -just- like a hatchling. chronosmith: *LAUGHS* NoodlesAtNight: \\MAYBE YOU OUGHTA SIT ON 'IM.\\ chronosmith: I do? I've yet to see these hatchlings of yours. Txen: Darksteel: *half-gets up and looks mischievous like he's thinking about the sitting thing* radioactivibee: ...Oh. chronosmith: *eyes Darksteel with an amused, deadpan expression* Do I look like an egg to you? NoodlesAtNight: *Laserbeak chirps in Darksteel's direction* {{What big blue egg say?}} Txen: Darksteel: *tilts head till its almost sideways* Dunno. You look pretty leggy for an eggy, hyeh heh! queenjazzy: [chirrup at screen. is happy he's getting so much screen time] chronosmith: *SNICKERS AGAIN* chronosmith: ((also brb y'all i am gonna grab something)) radioactivibee: ...Egg? opatoes: egg radioactivibee: Egg FakeProwl: *is late* FakeProwl: How much did I miss? NoodlesAtNight: (txt): Will send summary. FakeProwl: *acknowledging ping* Txen: Skylynx: *sniffs at Laserbeak* It's not a real language. More like begging for attention. NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): Decepticons took component. Ratchet taken aboard Nemesis, convinced to assist Omega Lock/synthetic energon perfection process. Laserbeak piece modified, now ship tracker. opatoes: The 'cons aren't THAT observant Txen: ...The Nemesis has sophisticated sensory technology. chronosmith: Well, there are worst fates that being sat on by a predacon. *takes asip, and regards the group with a cheeky, cheerful optic* Might even be fun. NoodlesAtNight: {{Maybe egg cold. You give attention, egg not chirp.}} radioactivibee: Yeah Smokes, they are. opatoes: I ran through there and stole back relics without them EVER noticing. They're pretty bad at this. FakeProwl: *who's near soundwave* queenjazzy: [happy clapping, she's glad Ratchet is ordering Knock Out around] Txen: *Shockwave is of course* opatoes: 😞 NoodlesAtNight: *Slithers one feeler out juuuuuuust enough to deliver a tiny bzzt to Shockwave's side. He likes hearing his ally work. Then masks it by continuing to stretch it and reach past to lift Ravage and bring him over to the crowd* Txen: Skylynx: *sticks out tongue* I had enough of that, thanks~ chronosmith: *he's watching Airachnid just as much as he is the documentary, eager to see all of her reactions to ratchet* FakeProwl: *no one else? tolerable. sits on soundwave's other side.* NoodlesAtNight: *Nod.* chronosmith: Liege. Ugh. radioactivibee: Shockwave has really pretty biolights. It's not fair Swoop: :V chronosmith: You'll never catch ME calling ANYONE "liege." NoodlesAtNight: *Laserbeak caws a hello at Swoop* Swoop: *has no idea what's going on, waves anyway* queenjazzy: I only say it out of habit. Megatron liked to be called that. My new commanding officer? Not so much. FakeProwl: *oh, good. the newest addition to Prowl's list of pests.* queenjazzy: Thankfully. Txen: *Shockwave stiffens when zapped, with a quiet sound that's only partially born of surprise. his claws tighten their grip on his thighs* radioactivibee: Wonder why... chronosmith: There's no way in hell I'd serve someone who required me to call them that. NoodlesAtNight: *Silently amused.* Swoop: Keheheh them not very good at shooting queenjazzy: No... they are not. Txen: *called Megatron whatever was most convenient to maintaining tolerable working conditions, Whirl. not that he's paying attention to the 'liege' debate* queenjazzy: [looks at new guest] chronosmith: *some people are able to set aside their pride to continue to be productive members of society. Shockwave is among them; Whirl is not* radioactivibee: Why liege though? That's...so pretentious. opatoes: Megatron's pretty pretentious radioactivibee: ...Fair. chronosmith: If someone wanted ANY kind of honorific they should fight for it, I say. Swoop: PFF NoodlesAtNight: [[He did.]] Swoop: EVERYONE bad shooters NoodlesAtNight: [[For millions of years.]] Txen: *the predacons agree* queenjazzy: Because he IS pretentious. queenjazzy: Or. queenjazzy: Was. chronosmith: Well, personally, I mean. radioactivibee: ...Dang Ratchet. opatoes: ......... opatoes: primus chronosmith: ((JEFFREY.... COMBS!!!)) radioactivibee: (( MY LOVE )) NoodlesAtNight: {{Neheheh. Bye-bye, Bird bit~ You not so good as real Bird.}} Swoop: No one good as real Bird :> chronosmith: Not even close. *toasts Laserbeak* NoodlesAtNight: *Flutters her wing plates at both compliments* Txen: *THAT DAINTY WAY HE HOLDS THE VIAL* Swoop: Kick him, Ratchet! :V radioactivibee: ............. opatoes: ........... opatoes: bee radioactivibee: Smokey Swoop: ????? opatoes: are you thinking what I'm thinking Swoop: Why Predaking fight Ratchet??? Txen: ... *glances inscrutably at Soundwave* chronosmith: Personal satisfaction. queenjazzy: What he said. radioactivibee: Predaking looks pretty nice? chronosmith: They bamboozled the hell out of him. Swoop: 😕 NoodlesAtNight: {{Him thinking Autobot kill brothers.}} opatoes: .... Something like that radioactivibee: .............. Swoop: Do they? queenjazzy: [quiet hissing under breath] radioactivibee: W-were you thinking something else? opatoes: .... I mean- maybe? NoodlesAtNight: {{Noooo. Him Megatron done.}} radioactivibee: What> Swoop: Predaking go beat up Megatron then opatoes: I'm not about to sya! Swoop: Not Ratchet 😕 😕 😕 radioactivibee: Why noooooooot? Txen: ((you two are lucky predakings over on the other side of the room lmao)) NoodlesAtNight: *Tiny head turn in Shockwave's direction.* opatoes: Because Predaking's here? radioactivibee: Oh radioactivibee: wait wha- [looks across room] radioactivibee: ............. Swoop: ((bro Swoop'd say it to his face)) radioactivibee: [aaand the mouthguard goes up] Swoop: ((i am 12 and what is this)) Txen: Predaking: *looking regal in a chair and watching events intently* Swoop: :V Swoop: *so much squacking* Swoop: *the opposite of regal* opatoes: /He's gonna wave at Predaking and wink/ radioactivibee: ... chronosmith: *SNICKERS* Swoop: ?????????????? radioactivibee: [awkwardly waves at Predaking while trying to hide his face] queenjazzy: [she's very glad these creatures don't exist in her reality] NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): Work schedule adjustment progress? Nocturnal existence suitable? Txen: Predaking: *doesnt see it. this scene is Important* Swoop: *would literally fight anyone for ratchet what is happening?????* radioactivibee: [very, very happy Predaking didn't see him] FakeProwl: @Soundwave «Adjustment made. Nocturnal existence is bearable.» Swoop: :V opatoes: oh primus predaking is so cool radioactivibee: [is also very happy none of those Vehicons were Allen] chronosmith: *now also watching intently; is he gonna fight Megatron? IS HE??? OH BOY* Swoop: Rachet safe now????????????? radioactivibee: ...Optimus is so happy radioactivibee: was radioactivibee: is radioactivibee: um NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: Pleasing. Enjoy relative city silence. NoodlesAtNight: {{"Safe".}} opatoes: ..... radioactivibee: ....... Swoop: "Safe"? :V radioactivibee: Safe radioactivibee: ? opatoes: he- he- safe and okay and fine and chronosmith: One thing I don't get, though--why didn't you go ahead and kill Ratchet? *looks to Predaking* I mean, sure, Megatron set him up, but he still did the thing. opatoes: nothing will happen to him NoodlesAtNight: {{You see, you see. Watching!}} Chillsins: *Is fashionably late.* Swoop: *is going to hold Bird like a pillow cause what is this even* chronosmith: *will swivel his helm around and bob it at Windchill; he's sitting alone tonight. FOR NOW* FakeProwl: @Soundwave «The area around my worksite was already relatively quiet. Most of the nearby residents moved away after Devastator rampaged through.» agooddistraction: ((Ultra Magnus really does have skinny legs...)) NoodlesAtNight: *He's going to enjoy this footage real quick. Hold on.* Chillsins: *WHAT* chronosmith: *immediately returns his attention to the screen* Chillsins: ...What did I miss? Txen: @Soundwave *antenna twitch... then twitch again. hand inches away from his leg and into the space between them. he's Thinking. and here returns that Interest with a Capital I* opatoes: This reminds me I gotta see to sparring with Megs again radioactivibee: [enjoys this a little too much] radioactivibee: [..enjoying it less] Swoop: *such torn feelings* Him Predaking pretty cool fighter.... queenjazzy: So... he cheated. Swoop: That not cunning. That a button. Txen: Predaking: *attention flickers to Whirl when he's asked a question* He had been subdued. And I was angry. chronosmith: He... can fly. NoodlesAtNight: *Frenzy EXPLODES with laughter* Chillsins: *He's gonna find a place to sit and...figure it out.* chronosmith: Your big plan is to put him into the sky? NoodlesAtNight: *Good one, Swoop* Swoop: ((omg swoop)) opatoes: Tall dark and scaly.... chronosmith: Hmm. *shrugs* Swoop: Megatron not very good at killing people chronosmith: In Ratchet's place, I would've absolutely annihilated my enemy before they got on their feet. But in YOUR place, I would've killed him for doing it. opatoes: ,................................................................................................................ opatoes: ((dangit eggs radioactivibee: (( EGGS!!! chronosmith: (9EGG)) queenjazzy: she must speak)) NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): Understood. ... Residents return in time. Public will see. NoodlesAtNight: NoodlesAtNight: *And Soundwave's digits slooooowly wander through that little space and toward Shockwave's hand.* Chillsins: *This helps fill in some of the blanks, yes.* chronosmith: *takes a nice, long swig of his gaugebuster and leans back, savoring the taste* Chillsins: That stupid sword. NoodlesAtNight: [[Wretched sword, rather.]] Chillsins: I don't like it because it's dumb and it looks dumb. FakeProwl: @Soundwave «They have already begun to see. I have, believe it or not, received some positive press.» radioactivibee: It's like, the bad version of a Lightsaber opatoes: You know, this reminds me- how far is everyone with their Cybertron's restoration? Swoop: Cybertron DEAD radioactivibee: Iacon's mostly there queenjazzy: I still cannot fathom why he gave it that name. Txen: Predaking: Understandable. *frowns* But had I done so, he would not have survived to save the life of my offspring later. The debt has been... addressed. radioactivibee: Haven't explored that much yet, trying to get more refugees to Kaon. radioactivibee: It's...pretty well-preserved NoodlesAtNight: @Prowl: (txt): Request: Share examples later? NoodlesAtNight: [[Cybertron's restoration progresses slowly but steadily.]] queenjazzy: Mine is fully restored because you know. chronosmith: Oh, hey. There we go. Turned out all right for you, I guess--not the first time I've heard of someone making better life decisions than I would. *snorts* radioactivibee: and thank primus tyger pax is still uninhabitable queenjazzy: The Autobots didn't destroy the Omega Lock. radioactivibee: Yeah. FakeProwl: *acknowledging ping* Chillsins: Everyone makes better life decisions than you, Whirl. chronosmith: I have no idea what state my Cybertron is in. It could've been turned to cheese for all I know. Chillsins: *Came here to be mean I guess.* NoodlesAtNight: [[A small group of scientists have camped in a facility in the ruins of Helex. They have decided to rename it Double Helex.]] NoodlesAtNight: [[Ultra Magnus' groaning could be heard for blocks.]] chronosmith: And, that's fair, Windchill.

Slick. radioactivibee: ...Nice move, Soundwave. opatoes: Not about to say it in public- just in case. radioactivibee: It's not exactly a trick if you know about it, Magnus. Chillsins: Why does that trick always work? NoodlesAtNight: *Waves his free hand dismissively* [[He did not do this. His war was over several tapes ago.]] radioactivibee: Gotcha. radioactivibee: Because how can you avoid a bridge?? agooddistraction: ...the girl's hair poofs twitch chronosmith: Fly. Chillsins: You can if you're not STUPID and know it's coming. chronosmith: I mean, y'know. If you're able. radioactivibee: ......... radioactivibee: I mean, if it's in a small hallway. Swoop: What omega lock? radioactivibee: And Soundwave can manipulate the size of the bridge NoodlesAtNight: [[A planet restoration device.

NoodlesAtNight: *Curls the fingers holding Shockwave's hand a bit tighter* chronosmith: Just proving a point. radioactivibee: How'd you know? opatoes: Starscream's shocked face Chillsins: *Immediately disappears, only to reappear bearing an expression of dull surprise.* opatoes: I've been on that ship enough to know! chronosmith: ((DULL SURPRISE)) NoodlesAtNight: [[Do not open unauthorized bridges in his facility.]] radioactivibee: ...that's not a GOOD thing opatoes: ....

Having a little trouble there bee? Txen: Shockwave: *looks at Bee* radioactivibee: [waves nervously] Swoop: Starscream only flier here. Why no one trying to push bots in hole? Chillsins: *He appears to be in roughly the same location. Seeing as he's definitely had worse, he looks more annoyed than concerned.* radioactivibee: [time to sink into his blanket] queenjazzy: [CACKLES] opatoes: ....... agooddistraction: oh radioactivibee: shut up, spidersqueak Bruin: ..............

Fair enough radioactivibee: [pouts at smokescreen] chronosmith: Soundwave. NoodlesAtNight: [[Yes?]] opatoes: And I mean! My universe is way different, Sounds. Chillsins: I always knew he was a flamer. FakeProwl: *... on the other hand, this is profoundly satisfying to watch in a way Prowl didn't expect it to be* queenjazzy: Smokescreen is right. You should have had him torn to pieces and thrown into the nearby star. chronosmith: You have my eternal gratitude for preserving the light leaving Megatron's optics in high-definition. radioactivibee: .................. Txen: ((snort)) opatoes: It's not like he comes back everywhere radioactivibee: Ok you know what he fell into the ocean NoodlesAtNight: [[It was not him.

But I certainly will. radioactivibee: [is very happy nobody's talking about death anymore] radioactivibee: Please don't agooddistraction: *stares fascinated* opatoes: I'm jealous of this universe radioactivibee: I haven't even talked to him about non-political topics chronosmith: Nothing to be shy about, mech. After all, Airachnid isn't. radioactivibee: ...Sorry, Smokey Chillsins: Shoot the magic beam into Cybertron's cloaca, or whatever. Chillsins: So majestic. chronosmith: Just look at how she openly moons over Ratchet! We're all friends here. opatoes: whats a cloaca radioactivibee: It worked though. Txen: Skylynx: *chokes at cloaca* Swoop: Cloaca??? Swoop: *is actually a baby, someone help* queenjazzy: If you're going to be envious of any universe, be envious of mine. radioactivibee: I forgot how pretty it looked when we revived it.

If you blink, you'll miss it* opatoes: are we terrible bee radioactivibee: Primus, space bridges are so regulated radioactivibee: Maybe? chronosmith: *he would be sad to say goodbye to a wicked little critter like Miko, too* Txen: Shockwave: *needless to say... his mind hasn't really been on the show since Soundwave zapped him. now that there's no distractions apart from Autobots being mopey about their pets... the wandering kicks into more active gear* FakeProwl: *it's very bizarre, watching aliens that actually like Cybertronians. ESPECIALLY considering that they're humans.* NoodlesAtNight: *Soundwave sits back a bit. Ohh, he can - he can hear. That.* radioactivibee: That's it, I'm hijacking a space bridge someday agooddistraction: everyone's just dead basically queenjazzy: [she's just silently laughing at the Autobot's discomfort] opatoes: ......

FakeProwl: ((ahh, Bad Apple MMDs are my favorites)) chronosmith: *that mech is unfamiliar but Whirl is going to just jump to conclusions and assume he got Empurata'd, just look at him* queenjazzy: Do not argue with the host. Didn't you Optimus Prime teach you any manners? Chillsins: *No idea who this nincompoops are, would like it to stay that way.* NoodlesAtNight: *Immediately suspicious of Bee.* chronosmith: Nice antlers, pfft.

About kissing himself. NoodlesAtNight: [[That's a difficult bar to reach, Windchill.]] Chillsins: Yet, he managed. NoodlesAtNight: [[But if anyone could clear it, Wheeljack would.]] Chaoit: You're not annoying, just chatty opatoes: /And he can't help but sing along/ Txen: Skylynx: *talk of turbopups?* I like 'em.

Mm, scientists* queenjazzy: [she isn't surprised by Smokescreen at this point] Chillsins: *Whirl is the exact opposite of stable what are you talking about?* radioactivibee: Because human viruses are just...uuuuuugh. They're not fun. Txen: *speaking of scientists and 'moods'* chronosmith: *steps back and shifts in place again, until he's hovering in alt-mode above the floor; he tilts himself to the left and strafes, and then to the right. it's trick maneuvering indoors but Whirl manages it neatly* opatoes: WHEELJACK radioactivibee: [watching Whirl intently] opatoes: LOOK AT HOW STRONG HE IS NoodlesAtNight: *HFFFF Could you maybe just - jUST - THINK A LITTLE... SOFTER....* chronosmith: Stabilization and steering, though most of that comes from my array. *swivels his rotors and scoots backwards, then forwards* radioactivibee: That's so cool. NoodlesAtNight: *Primus have mercy on him. He'll never make it through everyone's chattering.* Txen: *are you sure. are you sure 'softer' is the direction you'd like this train to go* queenjazzy: [she may or may not have swooned a bit] chronosmith: Yes, it is, isn't it? *absolutely unabashedly soaking up the praise* I'm a damn good flier. I've yet to meet someone who's my match. NoodlesAtNight: *NO. No. It's. It's a good train.

Moody, you can just...not......... opatoes: That's you, Chilly Willy Chillsins: *Can't hear you, Smokes.* Chillsins: I do what I want. chronosmith: *and speaking of which...* @Frenzy: How IS he, by the way? Still down? *he has no idea what is wrong with Rumble, but he DID notice* chronosmith: ((CHILLY WILLY)) radioactivibee: Just 'cause you can doesn't mean you should....... Chillsins: (( Frigid Phallus. )) chronosmith: ((freezy peen)) Chillsins: (( We've cracked the code. )) NoodlesAtNight: @Whirl: \\...YEAH. YEAH, HE'S, UH. HE AIN'T. SO GOOD. JUS' BETWEEN YOU 'N ME.

Chillsins: And zero is, like, a small number. Chillsins: *Not quite, Chill, but you tried.* chronosmith: @Frenzy: Pfft, what, you think I'm just gonna--call him out? In front of everyone? I'd have done that the moment I noticed, if that was my plan. NoodlesAtNight: \\BOSS!\\ radioactivibee: ...It literally means nothing. chronosmith: @Frenzy: What HAPPENED, anyway? Is there anything... y'know. *he can do* Chillsins: Exactly. radioactivibee: ..............And that's a Soundwave. radioactivibee: Soundwave, you should totally do this. radioactivibee: Chilly, is it?

NoodlesAtNight: *Frenzy thinks REAL HARD ABOUT THAT...* queenjazzy: Smokescreen you'll do that eventually anyway. radioactivibee: For a bot with "chill" in their name, you really don't have any. NoodlesAtNight: \\...NAH. I AIN'T EMBARRASSIN' MYSELF.\\ Chillsins: *It's not Windy, so he'll at least respond.* Chillsins: Nope. I'm too old and crotchety for that. radioactivibee: Airachnid, don't encourage him. opatoes: Embarrassing? Aww. It's pretty great, though. opatoes: Starspider, I'd never do that. queenjazzy: [doubt.jpeg] chronosmith: *Whirl blinks, and then nods. Well* @Frenzy: Well. ...I'm. Probably better off just not saying anything. I'd probably just screw it up. radioactivibee: [begrudgingly mirrors Airachnid] opatoes: I figured Friendzy would be too much of a weeniebot to do this Chillsins: *Turns his attention back to the video. He likes the colours.* chronosmith: *only just NOW notices the screen* ... *SNICKERS* Txen: Skylynx: ....... *head starts bobbing to the music like a pigeons* NoodlesAtNight: ((*slides video part off screen temp lmao*)) opatoes: !!!! /Getting up and dancing to this!

But thanks for the update. Chillsins: *Look here, Shockwave's on screen and he's trying to pay attention.* Txen: *...what are they stalking his danceverse alternate for* NoodlesAtNight: *Well, he was near their base, it looked like* NoodlesAtNight: @Whirl: \\GOT IT. LETCHA KNOW, HUH?\\ Chillsins: ...What is that beautiful creature? opatoes: ... who is that Txen: *danceverse alternate should work on his infiltration abilities* queenjazzy: ..what am I looking at? radioactivibee: what? NoodlesAtNight: *Points to the screen.* [[A Prime.]] Chillsins: His arms are as big as his body. I approve. NoodlesAtNight: [[And a Megatron.]] opatoes: OH OH THAT MEGATRON opatoes: CUTE DINOTRON chronosmith: I gotta say, the music that goes with these? Awful. Chillsins: *He's not sure he believes that part, but if you say so.* radioactivibee: A Prime that parties. I like it. chronosmith: Why can't they ever make these with good music? opatoes: ((Can you send me a link to this)) NoodlesAtNight: [[He doesn't choose what other bots choose to dance to. You are welcome to submit your own video.]] Chillsins: They are doing it to spite you, specifically, Whirl. chronosmith: I knew it... radioactivibee: What kind of music would you dance to? Chillsins: *Nods sagely.* chronosmith: Well, I would do that, if I could dance. Sadly, I cannot. Chillsins: *He knows. * radioactivibee: Everyone can dance. Chillsins: *Raises hand* I cannot. queenjazzy: Not to this music, that is certain. chronosmith: Oh, I don't know... if I were to hypothetically pick a song to dance to--*his tone takes on an amused note* Maybe something by Pink Martini. Una Notte a Napoli, maybe? radioactivibee: Can you keep a beat? queenjazzy: I can dance, but I don't do it to entertain. radioactivibee: ...Whirl. NoodlesAtNight: *AMUSED* radioactivibee: How about to Sympathique? chronosmith: *ALSO AMUSED* NoodlesAtNight: [[That is a good song. He would approve of your choice.]] Chillsins: *No idea who's talking to who, so he's going to admire the giant arms now.* chronosmith: Y'know, I figured you would, Chatterbox. NoodlesAtNight: ((all right, fifteen minute call)) radioactivibee: [has possibly shorted out bc now he's thinking about Airachnid dancing] NoodlesAtNight: ((get to wrappin heh)) Txen: ((i will look up sympathique later)) NoodlesAtNight: *Has actually never found an Airachnid.* radioactivibee: (( ok! )) chronosmith: Hmm. It's a good song, and I guess it'd be a fine one to do something SOLO to... but I like Una Notte better. radioactivibee: (( Sympathique is legit about going to lunch and smoking all day XD )) chronosmith: Better for a sort of slower, more graceful dance--not that I'd know. opatoes: 😮 queenjazzy: [dancing Airachnids are elusive creatures] chronosmith: ((IT'S a cute, sort of... rhythmic song, very point-point-point)) radioactivibee: Sure, Whirl. opatoes: ((I was trying to rip her model but the only "success" I had was with the ds game and apparently 3d models are stored in pieces on ds games radioactivibee: (( My french teacher used to play it every friday so it became The Friday Song Chillsins: I like this one. radioactivibee: (( OH NOOOOOOOOOOO )) queenjazzy: didn't it one time just come out as her torso?)) chronosmith: Anyway *streetches; he nods to Frenzy once, to reiterate his offer, and hops up* I'm out.
