I need help in knowing where tf we are in the portal au, like I looked away for a day and

Poison?

Jazz is corrupted?

Tarantula’s there?

Where tf am I?

(Btw love your art it’s heavenly 💫)

Yesterday we were discussing Jazz getting controlled but then got kinda distracted by discussing Prowl's past life👍

[keferon]

Yep! Very lawful and yet somehow incredibly shady accountant ahsjdkf

Does that mean Prowl was Tarantula's secretary???? Hmm. Sketch. Prowl is severely overqualified for that line of work. Shushed. I bet he's underpaid too

I like to think he was managing the facility. Organizing the staff/budget/equipment and everything. Not a scientist but like. Final boss of all managers haha

[keferon]

I can see Prowl like buying company stocks with his private money, to try and inject some cash into the company, and in the end he owns 50% of the company, all the bubble shares, with the non-buyable shares still in Tarantulas hands. And the owner doesn't even realise that his General Manager owns half of his company trying to save it from bankruptcy. XD

Damn that would be really funny hahdkvk

Tarantulas: Everything the sun touches is my kingdom! My company!

His humble evil accountant:

[keferon]

I can see Prowl desperately trying to convince Tarantula to stop funding so many science projects without returns. They're so close to bankruptcy, their investors have sold all their shares back to the company. They're bleeding cash without much profit. Would you look away from that robot and listen to me?! The entire building may be state of the art, but we'll lose it to the IRS if we can't pay our taxes!!!

Babysitting the company founder Monday-Friday. Someone might be saying that Prowl spoils all the fun but whenever he isn't present the company starts to fucking crumble haha

Tarantulas: Pfff I can handle my finances without Prowl

Tarantulas without Prowl:

[keferon]

Prowl, with absolute contempt: You heard the boss. We're doing combustible lemons now.

WHEEEEEEEEEEZE

But also. It's not that different from what he does for Optimus

[keferon]

Prowl routinely confronting Tarantulas about all the inconsistencies in his excel sheets and tarantulas just kinda playing it off.

Prowl just thought he was funneling money or selling off equipment or something. Then bam. Forced into a robot.

Nono I think Prowl would be fully aware of the robot. But the thing is - the robot was meant for Tarantulas. Not for him.

If we go with the Portal lore. Tarantulas wanted to be an immortal machine so he was making the robot for himself. Prowl probably managed it's creation along with other projects.

It's only later was revealed that. Surprise! The robot is gonna be for you. Maybe because Tarantulas died and Prowl was the next one on the list. Maybe because Prowl wanted to leave and Tarantulas wanted to keep him forever.

Either way. Prowl was neck deep into Tarantulas' projects and they trusted each other with their dark secrets so. Prowl knew about the robot. Although. He Probably helped hiding it from other people.

[keferon]

Lmao

Exactly yes

Remember: behind every robot that turns evil is an engineer who specifically installed red LEDs into the eyes just for this occasion

...........holy shit.

You know. I think just after the storm starts Ratchet should warn everyone that their meds really needs to be restocked. But they can't do that because they can't fo outside.

Point is. They have the medicine they need but not enough. So everyone is forced to work on a really fucking tight schedule to figure out what exactly controls Jazz and then how to remove it.

Prowl's anxiety about losing Jazz just gets worse and worse as this AU progresses it seems..

IN FACT. If the virus is some kind of AI nano bots. There's a solid chance that they can be hacked. Or the control system can be compromised somehow🤔

Okay even after the autobots find out Jazz's mind got infected, they still need to get whatever turned jazz evil out of him somehow, and whatever is in the driver's seat won't go down without a fight. They might have to keep him tied up in a medical area and away from the portal gun while everybody is trying to figure out how to fix it. And meanwhile, the person in control of Jazz's body is using his voice to taunt everyone else

OUGH. Smiling like a maniac perhaps. Telling everyone that Jazz’s brain was completely wiped. Or saying that “oh you wanna talk to your precious friend? I’ll let him tell you how he’s doing I feel generous” and then skipping two seconds before starting to scream and trash frantically.

And. You know. I think the entity can try to do as much damage as possible but if there’s absolutely NO way of getting free? The entity decides that the most damage will be caused by killing Jazz.

[keferon]

Oh thIS IS GORGEOUS I LOVE ITT

little doodle of @keferon's lovely prowl, just cause he's so pretty, I couldn't like not draw him :3

[keferon]

One simple thing: the entity controlling Jazz is Ricoshet (sg Jazz).

Yeah let's call it Ricochet. Let it be some kind of AI virus. It can be made by Cons but it doesn't have to be a con after all >:)

[keferon]

Who are Prowl favorites? Ofc, not counting Jazz

Elita😌 Optimus too probably. Although I think it’s more of a respect than actual favouritism. But I like to think that him and Elita would get along pretty well outside of command chain

Blue street of course too

Upd: blue street lol. But you get who I meant 👌

[keferon]

OKAY FIRST OF ALL. THATS. H AH.

You made me think that oohhh Prowl would have to do his best to trick the entity into talking because that would mean. Breathing. He would probably end up listening to all possible horrible jokes and threats and “hey did you know how fun it was to break your friend” but as long as it keeps the entity distracted from hurting Jazz. It’s worth it.

ACTUALLY. I think the entity would definitely try to trade Jazz’s life (or safety) for something like important tactical information. For a moment Prowl would think that “oh. This must be what Jazz felt when he went to pull the kill switch on me”.

[keferon]

imagine if the entity forgets jazz's hair buns/horns and the autobots are like "aw man he must be REALLY tired" while Prowl is like "erm no i watched him do those hair buns while half unconscious he would never, ur sus"

Yes yes yessss

Actually. Imagine if the entity at some point grabs a comb before realising that oh. Yes. The braids. *Quietly puts the comb back*

[keferon]

okay i know you said prowl and real jazz are the only ones who know something is wrong, but imagine the other autobots seeing them have these weird and maybe even slightly rude conversations and just thinking: omg are they breaking up nooo :((

I can imagine “Jazz” eventually going absolutely violent would definitely add another layer of confusion haha

Entity: *gets scared of metal claws grabbing Jazz*

Autobots: But…what’s wrong?

Entity, nervously realising that was a weird behaviour: ……..yeah I. You see I don’t actually like that. It’s just harder to be polite rn I’m so tired:(

Autobots: oh no…

Prowl: I brought you some hot tea.

Entity: Guh okay gimme that. *takes a sip and waves his hand* Dismissed. I don’t need anything else.

Prowl: ….sure.

Autobots: ……oh no….are they fighting over something?? Prowl brought him the worst and weirdest tea from our kitchen……and Jazz waved him off?? Is that a breakup?????
