Soundrod - The Black Thief and the Knight of the Glenn AU

“So you got yourself into a fine pickle, young Prince. A bet to steal the treasure of the great Knight Tarn.”

“Just tell me if you will help us or not!”

“I will. If the price is right.”

WHOOO my first Soundrod Fairytale AU on this blog! Took me long enough given it’s one of my favourite TF ships.

Like for Jazzprowl I apologise for using a more unknown fairytale for this AU, but none of the well known ones (aka the ones Disney turned into movies let’s be real) seemed to fit them/I had already used them.

This AU is based on the Irish Tale “The Black Knight and the Thief of the Glenn”

But obviously there will be some changes so it’s not a 1:1 adaptation of the fairytale.

Roles:

Hot Rod as the eldest brother

Cheetor as the middle brother

Bumblebee as the youngest brother

Soundwave as the black thief

Tarn as the Knight of the Glenn

Megatron as the King

Starscream as the king’s advisor.

The story begins when, after the death of his conjunx Optimus, Megatron sends his sons (Hot Rod, Cheetor and Bumblebee) away to live hidden away on an island on a lake, as he feared for their safety if they remained at the court, believing his conjunx’ illness was caused by poison.

So the three princes grow up hidden from the world on a lonely island until one day their father’s advisor (and the one behind Optimus’ death) finally found out where they are.

Starscream travels to the brothers’ island and challenges them to a card game for a geasa (a type of vow).

The two younger brothers lose the card game and Starscream sets his geasa: The brothers must steal the treasure of Tarn - The Knight of the Glenn. But Hot Rod wins the card game and sets his own geasa: He will accompany his brothers and Starscream must leave Cybertron and never return if they manage to steal the treasure.

The brothers thus go on a journey to the Glenn. But on their way they get ambushed by a thief named Soundwave. The brothers do manage to overpower the thief but do notice just how incredibly strong he is. So the oldest brother, Hot Rod, offers the thief a deal: We will pay you if you accompany us to the knight of the Glenn and help us steal his treasure.

Soundwave agrees and the trio turned Quattro journeys for days to reach the Glenn. During that time Hot Rod and Soundwave start to grow mutual respect for each other (after starting out hating eachother’s guts with Soundwave assuming Hot Rod is just a whiney useless princeling and Hot Rod viewing Soundwave as unnecessarily rude and stuck up) and eventually developing feelings for each other.

On the night before they are to reach the Glenn, Soundwave and Hot Rod are huddled around the camp fire (Bee and Cheetor already fast asleep) and Soundwave and Hot Rod opening up to one another. Hot Rod reveals to Soundwave that he is scared about possibly confronting the Knight of the Glenn. What if he kills him? He can’t die yet! He has to look after his two little brothers. They’d be helpless without him. And Soundwave says he understands Hot Rod, the he is in the same boat. He cannot die at the hands of the knight under any circumstances. He has a bunch of sparklings to feed and look out for. If he died, who’d take care of his children? He also explains how he took this job on only because the brothers’ pay was good. With their money he would be able to keep his sparklings fed for at least a month.

Hot Rod is surprised, he did not expect for the rude thief to actually be a family man with a soft heart for his children. But Hot Rod tells the thief that if they all make it out alive he will put in a good word for him with his father the king and get Soundwave some actual stable work at the palace.

The day of confronting the Knight of the Glenn comes and the group sneaks into the knight’s castle to steal his treasure but despite their efforts they all get caught by Tarn.

Now in the fairytale the knight says he will kill them all one by one (going from the youngest to the oldest prince and the thief). But the thief manages to convince the knight to let them go by telling him 4 stories from his adventures to proof he had been in bigger danger before.

Now the thief in the fairytale is obviously a bit more of a trickster and it is left ambiguous in some versions if the stories he tells are real or not. But I don’t personally see Soundwave as a trickster and I imagine the scene being closer to that one scene in Princess Bride where Whestley tells Prince Humperdinck how he would “deal with him” before escaping with Buttercup.

So yeah Soundwave will either convince Tarn to let him and the princes go by telling tarn in INTENSE detail how he once skinned a mech 4 times is own size alive or he will keep Tarn occupied with his stories while Hot Rod and his brothers free themselves and grab the treasure before Soundwave takes Tarn out by pulling the stunt he did in the final episode of Cyberverse without the whole dying in the process thing (or maybe he does die if you prefer it that way I am not your boss).

But the group happily returns to their homeland with the treasure, Starscream is banished (or killed by Megatron cuz knowing Starscream he probably blurts out on accident that he was the one who killed Optimus) and they all live happily ever after the end

As always: If you have thoughts or ideas for this AU let me know. Or heck you can post your own version (and if you do please tag me in it, I would love to see more Transformers Fairy Tale AUs)

Imagine if Tfp soundwave was like megatrons parent.

Telling him to clean his room. Tucking him into bed. And being the only person who could discipline him.

Megatron is fighting Optimus and they accidentally break Soundwave’s favorite computer. Megatron temporarily calling a truce so they can work together to fix it so megs doesn’t get his war privileges taken away.

Megatron going “I can’t fight you today I’m grounded ☹️”

[king-starscreams-fics]

Having received a disturbing diagnosis, Megatron has started to think about peace and how it might be obtained permanently. But can he and Optimus Prime work together, to bring their rival factions together?

One complete story and more to come.

Enjoy!

Edit: I didn't mean to orphan my stories. I made a mistake while I was unwell and struggling with brain fog.

For a while, I found it difficult to even log in to my account and look at my empty pages, but I'm rebuilding now.

Below is a link to the same series, rewritten:

After literal YEARS I’ve finally gotten around to writing a Transformers Fanfic

This fic is basically an excuse for me to give Soundwave cat behaviours cause I think the most serious mech in the Decepticon army deserves to be a fucked up lil weirdo (/aff) too

https://archiveofourown.org/works/65415448/chapters/168347008

+Spoilers (can be read without the chapter tho)

But art for the chapter >:)

[churochoru]

While I don’t mind the whole carrier and sire thing I think it would be funny if cybertrons had a completely different way. Like all sparklings were actually made by the all spark and partnered cybertronians can just put in an order for one if they feel like it. 

Extra:

[driftsart]

I found this comic in my computer files, I never finished it though, this is supposed to be how Soundwave found Rumble and Frenzy.

_________________________

… I wanted to write silly g1 parental megatron skits.

Just so Y’know, it’s not a big secret that bumblebee is the son of the warlord.

The autobots just keep forgetting the most hardworking and sweetest bot they’ve known and love, is related to a literal tyrant of a warlord.

… I also see Soundwave and megatron just bonding as parents, just saying…

I uh… hope it’s not too much… or too little-

[thetravelingegg]

Earlier I made a post about tfp soundwave being Megatron’s parent and now I can’t stop expanding on it.

D-16 showed up at the pits still young and scared. Soundwave saw that they shared ideals and took him in, teaching him all things that he should know, like how to deal with being mugged or how to deal with a hangover.

His presence also kept away any other gladiators who would try to take advantage of the new guy since no one wants to mess with the creepiest dude in the pits.

Megatronus excitedly going to soundwave after a match and asking if he did good, just trying to make him proud.

During the war they couldn’t spend as much time together but they always set aside time to tell each other about their day.

Soundwave holding a special grudge against Optimus for breaking his babyboy’s heart.

When Megatron died and got revived by unicron, his last thoughts as he fell were that he just wanted his dad.

Story 2/?: complete.

Next one: in development.

What would you like to see happen in story three?

Story 1: Leave Me Alone! — Starscream is sick with Cybertronian Flu and (probably against his better judgement) Megatron decides to give him the best care he is able. When he begins to feel unwell in turn, he is not overly concerned. At least, not until his medic is.

Story 2: A Brave New Start — with a terminal illness diagnosed, Megatron begins to give the future serious consideration. How does he want to be remembered?

Story 3: Life on the Moon — the initial stages of peace, with Optimus Prime and Megatron co-leading their integrating former factions. What could possibly go wrong?

Operation: Support Your Cassette Children

Give Soundwave a raise or more time off, Megs. He has six mouths to feed.

[thegameartist03]

so i found out that Soundwave has a face under there (and that he was raised by Ravage, Laserbeak, and Buzzsaw)

[doomspoon888]

I think Ratchet has to fight Soundwave for the title of "unofficial Starscream dad" lmao
