#autodogs and decepticats

[dragqueenstarscream]

ideas for the autodogs and decepticats au:

- instead of a horn, cliffjumper leaves his favorite chew toy behind once he's adopted. arcee guards it and snaps at anyone who tries to take it from her.

- "unicron" is a staff member whom none of the animals like. megatron tries to warm up to "unicron" at first, but eventually grows to hate them.

- "energon" is really all the good treats the kids give them. "dark energon" is catnip.

- the predacons are the first exotic pets the shelter takes in. predaking is a bearded dragon.

- optimus leads the autodogs because he's been there the longest. his scary appearance has led to most families passing him up for adoption.

- knock out grieved for weeks when breakdown got adopted without him. starscream had to practically beg him to take care of himself.

- optimus' "death" is him getting adopted by jack. thankfully, there's a happy ending, as he becomes a sort of ambassador for the animal shelter, which lets him return and visit his old friends.

Autodogs vs Decepticats, but they're the exception. German zoi, and of course, a little bee.

Ngl i feel like Hissscream would be the kind of cat that complains about anything and everything. While Fluffout would complain when it comes to decepticats or the Autodogs messing with his appearance, HissScream would just yell You're too close? He complains Food bowl is empty? Complain MeowWave stares in his direction? Complains

He would ong

I should make a wallpaper of this

i had a few breed ideas for the autodogs, so here's where i'm throwing ideas at a wall until i find something that sticks. subject to change if i come up with something better

optimus - german shepherd/mastiff mix. he's all grizzled and scarred from his time living on the street. of all the animals at the shelter, he's been there the longest. his scars and intimidating demeanor have led to him getting passed over for adoption by most people.

ratchet - brittany spaniel. dumped on the street as a puppy, he knew optimus when the two of them were street dogs. he's one of the oldest dogs at the shelter, save for possibly optimus.

bumblebee - greyhound. an ex racing dog, he broke his leg after taking a nasty tumble. thankfully, he's mostly healed, but he was tossed in the shelter as a result of his injury. he's strongly attached to raf, one of the shelter volunteers.

arcee - either a bluetick coonhound or a blue weimaraner. haven't decided on that yet. she and cliffjumper were owned by the same people before they were dropped off at the shelter together. she's pretty cold towards humans, with jack being the only human she respects.

bulkhead - american bulldog. as mean as his beaten up mug might look, he's a big teddy bear. he and wheeljack knew each other in dog fighting rings before they were both taken to the shelter. he's especially protective over another volunteer, miko.

cliffjumper - redbone coonhound. a former hunting dog, he and arcee were given up when their owners had to move across the country. he left arcee his favorite chew toy, a squeaky stuffed bull, when he got adopted.

wheeljack - akita/pit bull mix. initially forced to fight in dog fighting rings, he managed to escape and live on the street before he got taken by animal control. he's an escape artist and keeps breaking out of the shelter, only to get caught and brought right back in.

smokescreen - border collie. he's the newest arrival to the shelter. despite coming from a very bad home, he's surprisingly friendly and eager to please. he quickly got attached to optimus and doesn't like to leave his side.

tfp au idea:

autodogs and decepticats. pretty simple premise, the autobots are all dogs and the decepticons are all cats. just regular earth animals.

the twist? they're all at an animal shelter. jack, raf, and miko are volunteers there. characters "dying" are really just them getting adopted.

(not sure what feline species they are, but breakdown is a domestic breed / knockout a wild big cat for the autodogs vs decepticats au, as ko was forged from velocitron. i like to think the cold constructed decepticons are domestic breeds)
