Hello, sorry to disturb you. I recently watched the Transformers movie and like the character of Sam. Do you know any Transformers fanfiction featuring Sam as the protagonist or fanfiction with significant scenes involving Sam? It would be best if they are long novels, and it doesn't matter if Sam has a pairing (although I prefer him to be paired with Bumblebee or Optimus Prime). I have been searching for these fanfiction on AO3 and FF, but FF's tagging system is not as comprehensive as AO3's. On the fanfiction.net, without opening the article to view, I cannot know if the article contains the character of Sam. If you could recommend some Transformers fanfiction to me, that would be great, thank you very much! English is not my first language, so I am using a translator to write these words, please don't mind if there are any grammatical mistakes :)

Halloooo ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

I completely understand! Especially on fanfiction.net it can be hard to find and filter! And I never judge grammar I struggle so much with it myself ( *｀ω´)

Lemme find a few!

This is one of the newest and long running fics, Sam lives with memories from one life while living a too long life in another and the bots come to help

This one Sam is sent back as a cybertron to try and effect the future! Very long and very thorough

An author who has a lot of long works is! I’d look through their works and they have a fanfiction.net page

Another author I loved in my early reads!

one thing I realized the most rewatching bayverse transformers as an adult, is that a lot of ppl hate Sam. but little kid me and adult me disagree with that greatly and still very much thinks that he’s the best human character in the movies (Charlie was great too don’t get me wrong, and on some occasions Cade). he’s relatable and justified tbh in many arguments that ppl make against him.

[melodicaria]

So I rewatched the first Michael Bay transformers movie last night. I forgot how enjoyable it is. As someone who was an awkward teen Sam whitwicky is an amusing character to watch because I to would have freaked out if my car was a giant alien robot. And honestly I would also put on a brace face to impress the pretty girls I go to school with. The bots are also just so funny to watch at parts because they just don’t understand human customs and rules. The military parts are interesting to watch and they really reflect the time. But not in a horrible way it shows the tension in the world post 9-11 and how seriously every threat was taken. The military guys are not these indestructible ass holes. They are stressed out guys who are thrust into this wild situation and are doing the best they can with there limited information. Sector 7 is a blatant display of how the military is stone walled in some ways. They don’t give any information unless they are in danger and they blatantly break laws by searching the whitwicky home without a warrant. It’s not rich in lore or the best story we’ve seen from transformers but it’s an enjoyable film to just put on and watch every once in a while. Now I’m not a fan of the later bay movies but the first two are some that I really enjoy watching with my family and an easy transformers film to show friends without them getting lost.

A Public Service Announcement For Bayverse Transformers Fans

Do not let anybody bully you, or treat you as a fake Transformers fan for what film ditector Michael Bay had to offer.

Anybody who does, is an entitled, GeeWun gatekeeper, who treats change & originality as 2 of The 7 Deadly Sins.

So who wants to hit up my discord and ramble with me about transformers sam centric stories i havent started to boost my motivation?

Cybertronian Color Theory - Thoughts

In basically every canon, and now in TF: Matrix, Cybertron isn’t colored like Earth. Now, Earth has a LOT of different environments with a lot of different colors, and Cybertron and it’s moons also have diverse environments (although rather less so than Earth) but in general- Cybertron has a very…distinct color scheme.

In that the whole surface of the planet pretty much looks like this.

Cybertron is an over-saturated orange-blue theory movie poster.

Which goes a long way towards explaining why cybertronians tend to have such impressive coloration, and gives us a base to start with.

Orange and Blue are considered to be “Neutral” colors, even when strikingly bright- as a matter of fact a particularly vivid range of Orange is even referred to as “Cybertron Orange” because large portions of the surface take on a similarly vivid hue. After orange and blue, the next largest “natural” colors of the surface tend to be metallics such as silver, gold, or pearlescent white, as well as matte white, gray, and black, which are also generally seen as neutral hues. As such, Orange and Blue are among the most common colors for Cybertronians, both natural and as a result of alteration.

One of the next most common colorations is Red for reasons I haven’t come up with yet, but they do find Red to be a very eye-catching color. Red optics and biolights are the second most common (after blue) shade and red is generally associated with speed, as well as status- red was a favored color for warriors and the upper class.

Green isn’t a common color on Cybertron, both in terms of environment and cybertronian, and as such it stands out to them (they get used to it on Earth but some cybertronians find earthly foliage to be overwhelmingly green). Bright shades of green commonly indicate “caution” or “danger” for cybertronians, and green clouds heralded acid rainfall and proximity to the acid wastes. Bright Green and Yellow-Green are more common among Decepticons who use it to indicate their working-class past, but higher-classed mechs often utilized a very rich, darker copper-green.

Blue-Green hues are considered separate from Green and Blue coloration, and can be found in certain areas of Cybertron as well as upon Cybertron’s moons- these are generally seen as neutral and even attractive, particularly among racers, and are associated with traits such as speed and agility.

Yellow is a relatively uncommon color among Cybertronians, but is similarly used to indicate “Caution” or “danger” in most situations- True yellow and greenish-Yellow hues are also considered separate from a more acceptable golden-yellow or orange-yellow, like Bumblebee. PALE YELLOW specifically is associated with poor health and injury, as a bot’s internal cooling system utilizes ammonia- which can result in them bleeding a clear-to-pale-yellow fluid or coughing it up when internally damaged and unable to self-repair. (Yellow and Pink together are particularly ominous) Yellow is also associated with the cold, as in the very rare places where it “snows” on cybertron the snow is composed of yellow sulfur and ammonia flakes.

True metallic hues (silver, gold, copper, etc etc) are considered to be neutral in coloration, but have a loose heirarchy regarding appearance. Gold is considered to be more striking and obvious (as well as being something of a delicacy/treat for cybertronians) but also became a symbol of the Loyalists for the Senate and the Elite Guard. Some other groups reclaimed it as their own, but more than simple accents of it can still carry negative connotations, particularly among Decepticons. Silver and chrome are true neutral appearances, as cybertronians are initially a matte white and chrome upon creation, before their coloring nanites begin to operate.

(As a sidenote- matte gray is neutral but also can be ominous and unsettling, associated with death as the “shock” of deactivation results in a mass die-off of coloration nanites, causing them to self-destruct, turning the deceased an ashy gray over the layer of coloration. The “graying” of a cadaver can be almost instantanious in certain situations, but otherwise may take several hours to complete.)

Purple is the color of low-charge energon and energon crystals, and processed energon tends to have a rich purple color- especially if spilled and left to dry for a time, it will “cool” from pink to purple. As a result, purple was traditionally a color associated with energon and common class, as well as certain military groups. Purple has also become the color of the Decepticons, dominating their coloration and their aesthetics, embraced as a symbol of spilled and dried energon, left to cool, as well as a symbol of archaic military function (which is where Megatron’s gray-purple coloration heralds from)

Being Pink on Cybertron is a risk. Pink is the color of charged energon, of one’s lifeblood, it’s the color of edible crystals and the clouds and sunsets, it’s brilliant and the cybertronian optic is automatically drawn towards shades of pink. Pink can be associated with medics, nurturers, and sustinence. But it can also be a threatening color (think- Pink is similar to Bright Red for humans) in that freshly-spilled energon is pink, pink biolights are a sign of greivous internal damage (energon filling biolights and tinting them), pink is a color of getting attention and can symbolize greed and seduction.

Black and White are both considered neutral colors and “base” colors, but larger portions of white or other pale hues was considered to be a sign of higher-class, since a white finish is harder to maintain without getting dirty, as well as being the primary color (when paired with Red and/or Pink) of medics and medical assistance. I’m debating on giving Starscream white as a secondary color, though, so he’d be Red, Black, and White. Something to think about. Black is also associated with law enforcement, and enforcers were typically painted a matte black or even a sort of “vantablack” to make them stand out against other colorations. Black is often used as an accent to make other colors stand out more, as is.

Fun game: apply these vague color theory ideas to bots!

Constructicons? Purple + Bright Green = Low class construction crew, meant to be the living equivalent of day-glo vests.

Sunstreaker? Yellow + Black + Gold = LOOK AT ME! LOOK! AT! ME!!!!!!! LOOK AT ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Megatron? Ashy Silver + Faded Purple = I’m not gonna lie he basically looks like a corpse this is the equivalent of being super fucking goth. Megatron is some sort of like, military goth.

Starscream? Red + Black = PLEASE LOOK AT ME!

Thundercracker? Blue + Gold = Please don’t look at me.

Skywarp? Black + Purple = Just likes the goth aesthetic but never actually went through a goth phase. Black nailpolish and fishnets.

Optimus Prime? Blue + Red + Silver = Literally the most attractive but benign color scheme possible. Generic.

Arcee? Pink + Pink = Is she here to take care of you? To murder you? You don’t know! Be afraid!

Toothbrush? Never heard of him. 🏃‍♀️💨

Ironhide literally driving through the store is sending me to another dimension.

Ya'll, that sauce is the truth.

SOMEONE obviously doesn't appreciate his Hot Rod hug, it's fine, I'll gladly take your place spits ungrateful bitch.

Megatron has a gift for you

Everything is dandy for him fr, this mf is having a holly jolly ol' time.

"He probably eats ugly christmas sweaters." "This mf think everything a damn game.😭" "Robots in disguise? The only thing you need to disguise is that ginormous forehead and chin. 💀💀💀"

I live for the Ratchet facepalm.

"My parents warned me about moments like this!111!1!"

Sunstreaker basically wondering why the "dogs" are out of their cage when he gets back home is so crazy.

Ratchet fears no man- or Prowl.

Transformers Story Ideas #2

LMAO, YA'LL! I got terribly sick and my laptop charger broke, I'm talking plastic melting and wires exposed. The AO3 author curse is real cos wtf! Anyways, this doesn't stop me from blurting out a disgusting, vulgar, mangled pile of story ideas I so badly want to write. I have to tilt my laptop at a 30 degree angle to get the charging light to turn on. We are most definitely winning guys :)

These are all Sam centered and some of them have smut so like, totally beware! If I've written bits, pieces, and snippets for them, I'll create a separate post, so scroll through my profile/posts. I may have posted the crumbs there. Tumblr is so cute, its like little post it notes.

With porn.

Sometimes.

Frostbite | Optimus/Sam/Megatron | Sam not being able to decorate his new house to save his life, thankfully his neighbor Optimus is very good at it. But like, he and Megatron have also been stalking Sam ever since he moved in and plan to kidnap him and bring him away. Lmao, did I say kidnapping? I meant surprise vacation. Totally. (I'm actually working on this right now)

Snowfall Secrets | Various/Sam | Christmas with Cybertronains is just about as what Sam expects- and what he doesn't. This would be multi-chaptered, with each chapter being a different day leading up to Christmas, probably like 3-5 chapters.

Sneaky Green Leaf | Prowl/Sam/Constructicons | Sam telling Prowl and the Constructicons about the purpose of mistletoe. Unfortunately, they don't necessarily get the message. A quick peck gives way to hunger, which...gives way to vicious gangbang fucking under the mistletoe every time they see it.

Untitled | Autobots/Sam | Dacryphilia kink, the Autobots have a fascination with seeing Sam cry.

Untitled | Various/Sam | Cybertronian cum acts similar to an aphrodisiac for humans!!!

Stellaris | Starscream/Sam | Sam is tasked with escorting a prince soon to be king- unfortunately said prince is a royal asshole. (Royalty Starscream is so funny, can you imagine this dude actually have people willingly do things for him. I'd go insane if I had to serve Starscream.) This was literally all brought on by this one line I thought of: "You brought me all this way... what's a king without his queen, hm?

Untitled | ?/Sam | Sam meeting a guy who charms him, kidnaps him, then proceeds to take him home and keep him as a fuck slave. (Sunstreaker, maybe)

Untitled | Optimus/Sam | I NEED SAM RIDING AND MILKING OPTIMUS NOW!!!

Untitled | Ironhide/Sam | Lol, weapon fucking with Ironhide. Idk about ya'll, but the blasters they be using be looking mad wicked.

The Merchant of Death | ?/Sam | Cybertronian Sam AU, but he sells things. What are those things? Weapons of mass destruction and death, probably.

Sleep Deprived but still Alive

Why does 'sleep deprivation' me write the best stories. Like, what's going on with you girlie???

Me at 8:50am seeing something mildly fascinating in my room that gives me an idea to create an entire novel series. (It was fucking cold, that was it. I was cold and I jotted down an entire storyline, spin-off series, and extras.)

[melodicaria]

Sam when a minor inconvenience happens

Those chibi references on Pinterest are so cute I couldn't help myself from doodling Sam in place. Context? Uhh...there is none.

Transformers Story Idea: Three Peas in a Pod | Bumblebee/Sam/Cliffjumper

"We could be a bit more than three peas in a pod...if you wanted to..." Sam trailed off, suddenly timid and unwilling to look them in their eyes. Waves of embarrassment crept in, and a faint blush had spread across his face as he fiddled with his fingers.

Cliffjumper looks at Bumblebee, before turning to Sam, raising his optical ridge. "I thought this is what you wanted though-"

Bumblebee snickers and whispers something to the red mech, wings fluttering in excitement behind him.

Cliffjumper is still for all of two seconds, processor working at light speed.

And then it clicks.

In which...

Sam wants Cliffjumper and Bumblebee, but he has to freak out about it first.

Transformers: Goosebumps | Dark Autobots Snippet

So my silly bitch ass was thinking about dark Autobots. Not quite Shattered Glass, but similar, but like they're as evil as I want them to be! Here's just a snippet that I pumped out in a few minutes, not finalized or edited, but I had finished watching this Netflix movie, 'Leave the World Behind' and it just sparked me with an idea on how to start this. I jotted this idea down a while ago and just never got back to it- until now. Could you tell I had listened to Goosebumps by Travis Scott!? :p

Title: Goosebumps Summary: As Sam watches aliens descend upon their planet, he realizes with horror that they're not as peaceful and freedom loving as they claim to be.

It's the cellphones that go first. Sam's not too disturbed, after all, he still has his computer.

But soon that goes too.

12 plane crashes. One day.

There are thousands of people dead. Their corpses littered the pavement. Three said flights landed in a major city, hitting five buildings, with a blast radius double their length.

Every once in a while there's an odd ringing. Worldwide.

Nationwide blackouts.

The crops stop growing.

The water is drying up faster than they can calculate.

Metal sprouts from the ground, sharp jagged edges in a brilliant silver impaling people at random.

It's no longer safe to go outside.

People start getting sick, some are dying within days, others are cured from their disease.

Situations are too dire to upkeep most public spaces. School is canceled, prisons are full of riots, people storm their capitals and raise hell until their questions are answered.

And the government is silent.

The kings and queens are silent.

Because they too, haven't the faintest idea of what will happen next- what has happened.

Sam as an inkling.

The world is ending.

And then…

Metal beasts descend from the sky. Cybertronians, they call themselves.

The Universe is under attack and Earth holds the one object to save it.

But of course, humanity figures it's not a good idea to give it to them.

If only they had known.

The steel giants show no mercy, especially after one of their own is injured in a scuffle.

Hell is unleashed in a torrent of waves. Fire. Water. Ice. Wind. Bullets.

Bombs.

Sam thinks it's funny that now everyone on Earth decides to band together to a united front. He's picked up and torn from his family to protect the very thing the aliens are here for. He doesn't quite understand why they just don't give them the damned thing.

But he guards it like his life is on the line. Because it is.

Bombs are strapped to their bodies, in case they get any lucky ideas.

But he gets good at his job. His parents are held at gunpoint, along with another dozen or so, and a cap will be put in their skull if they don't comply.

So Sam has no other choice but to be good at his job. His fuck up, fucks them up.

Maybe, he gets too good at his job. He sees too much. He watches people bargain using other people as currency. He stays guarding the AllSpark at all hours. The only exception being getting sleep and eating.

He contacts his parents once a month. He has no clue where Miles is, and sometimes it gets so much to the point where he can barely remember his name. His parents name.

He gets bored. The others don't speak to him so…

He speaks to the AllSpark.

In an interesting turn of events, it speaks back, in a way.

The giant metal cube will shift whenever he's near, panels and plates clicking and elevating, swirling in a flurry of energy around his body. For a long time in a while, he laughs, and enjoys the time he spends here.

And for all of the horrible things that the world is faced with, for all of humanity's struggles and strife, for the brink of destruction they are forced on, the very object that started it all is the one thing that brings him hope.

He hopes the war ends soon.

But the insanity is only beginning.
