October 18th - Prime and Protector

Tarn / Optimus Prime

For the @tfrarepairing fest 2024

[myrmyr21]

So I've been drawing a lot of Shockwave lately...

(Yes that is baby Damus and teenage Tarn. Shockwave has his work cut out for that one, and his parenting skills are... look he tries his best okay)

Pharma x Pre- Empurata! Damus

I like thinking that if Damus would have met Pharma he would have been fascinated by his beauty, like, he could not look at him because of the embarrassment or something like that...🫠❤️💛

@killjpeg finished a commission for me and I can not be more excited! I keep looking at and grinning because it looks so lovely and ominous!

It's a scene later in A Glitch In The Matrix when Captain Glitch meets Cyberverse Tarn.

I'm about to say something weird but let me cook

Okay so I normally don't like going full familial relationships with TFs because they're non-organics and all but like. For the sake of a joke I'm telling y'all that Tarn/Damus is basically Optimus/Orion's fucking son the way they have so much in common like

Affinity/preference for wearing a mask (even as Glitch, Tarn had a helm shape that looked like his face was partially covered)

Has an iconic voice (whether for good or ill reasons)

Explosive temper, or at least when they snap they snap really badly and do really inadvisable stuff

Dual-persona issues/being depressed over having an outer self (Tarn/Optimus) versus the authentic inner self (Damus/Orion)

Autistic

Obsession with Megatron (lmao)

Has like one best friend and they're a sassy, sarcastic medic

Generally kind of loathed or seen distastefully even by the people they're comrades/coworkers with

Optimus would've been able to fix Tarn I swear to FUCK

Tarn's ideal partner would be a dommy mommy.

That mech is the literal poster boy for daddy issues. He craves validation from Shockwave Megatron a strong adult figure.

Maybe that's why I did the sex worker with his praise kink as they're breaking his aft with toys as well as a lactation kink and the leash with Camien Nurse?

He wants that guidance and to be taken of by a firm, yet caring paternal/maternal figure. He wants to be told he's a Good Boy as he rests his head on nice tiddies.

Everyone thinks that Tarn was created by Megatron. But no one talks about the fact that Orion Pax contributed to the fact that the sweet and kind Damus (who clearly had some problems with self-esteem and wanted to listen to the opinions of those above) stood on this slippery side. In fact, it was not Megatron who started Tarn's path, but Orion who pushed Damus (These are my thoughts)

So, I am not sure if tumblr ate this ask, but hi hello. I am the same anon who used to ramble and added fuel to the whole "Megatron being a clerk instead of a gladiator" TFP AU! Came back with more stuff for it!

Thought I more or less resend what I originally sent or well summarize it as I am not sure if Tumblr ate the ask :'D.

But the basic gist is, in the AU, instead of Tarn being a crazed fanboy of Megatron, he's instead Megatron and Optimus's adoptive (or bio) son. The idea being Megatron, if going with the adoptive route, found a young Damus on the streets, alienated by everyone else due to his ability. Megs takes him in, leading to Optimus and him adopting the young mech. If we go with the bio route, Megs was Tarn's carrier and Optimus was his sire, with some panic involved depending on when Tarn was convinced (if it was Clerk days, the two think Trion would kill them, he doesn't it, he happily accepts Tarn as like a grandson. If it's early into Optimus being a prime, they worry over what the council will do.)

Tarn is the eldest of OP and Megs kids, adopted or not. He is the older brother to Smokescreen, Bumblebee, Hot Rod, and Mirage. They go to him for advice which can be a mixed bag since it could be something very well thought out and helpful, or Tarn suggesting murder lol.

And for funnies, Tarn is just an edgy name he decided to go by. He heard where Megs was from and went "Ah yes, I shall be called this now." Only his family call him Damus, to either tease him (his brothers) or for when he's in trouble (OP and Megs.)

Because, yeah, while Tarn is more sane? I would say in this AU, he still kind of violent and murder hoboish lol. Like, he is more adjusted and clearly has a healthy sense of admiration and sense of justice, but he acts more like an anti-hero, alongside the other DJD members. Since I can see him picking up other outcasts and creating their version of the DJD in this AU. In this AU, they go out and track down corrupted powerful people and end them in their own way. Megs and OP getting why he does it, but also scared it will backfire and hurt Tarn instead.

But yee that's the gist of it.

Sorry! It took a bit to get to this

This sounds pretty cute so far, and the idea of a shorter Roddie going to Tarn with relationship drama and Tarn immediately suggesting killing his partner/ex is kind of fucking hilarious

Interesting how in this au, despite an undeniably better upbringing and better influences in his life, Tarn still has some violent tendencies. Interesting.

There's a lot of cool directions that can go
