Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: The Pack

When Transformers Prime introduced the idea of Predacons in Season 3, a thought popped into my head; Where the Scrap are the Maximals? The Autobots with Beast modes never made an appearance in the show along with a bunch of other characters who were supposed to be in the series, but mostly due to the show not having the budget required to implement them. The idea of the Maximals never really existed in the showrunners list of lightbulbs, but what if they existed?

The Pack was introduced in IDW Publishing's Beast Wars Comics as a Maximal Imperium Covert ops unit under the Command of Lio Convoy. In my version, The Pack was an Autobot Infiltration/ Intelligence team that were sent behind enemy lines to extract info from Decepticon Facilities. The Crew consisted of:

Leobreaker (Lio Convoy): the steadfast, wise and compassionate leader who becomes the emissary of Onyx Prime

Skipjack: the cranky Inventor who used to be an architect

Bantor: strong and fast, but he's also an intelligent, disciplined warrior with a tactical mind and a keen understanding of guerilla warfare—useful traits to have when you're a demolitions specialist. His Fuzor beast mode means that he's at home in the trees or on the ground, stalking his prey slowly and silently through the jungle and into a carefully planned ambush. By that time, his victims have already walked right into one of his cleverly-disguised snares or explosive booby-traps.

Airrazor: She's calm and confident, but also adventurous and brave, with a healthy supply of dry humor. Her aerial skill in either mode, incredibly sharp eyesight and steady aim make her a dangerous opponent.

Wolfang: A team player through and through, effortlessly integrating himself into whatever unit he finds himself entrenched with.

Twinferno: Admittedly, Twinferno has always been undecided, but when he gained a twin Dragon Transmetal form it kind of made things harder, but the one thing that he always agrees on is the busting of Decepti-Chops.

Beastbox: A Mini-Con mercenary for hire, Beastbox thinks of himself as the king of the jungle, but nevertheless will work for for anyone willing to pay him in Energon bananas.

Divebomb: A Predacon clone created by Shockwave, he rejected his original path and now hunts his fellow Predacons with the same zeal with which they hunt others, and though he shares their lust for destruction, at least now it is harnessed in a more productive way.

After the reformation of Cybertron, The Pack opted to become a retrieval team hunting down any war criminals who fled war tribunals. Onboard their starship The Yukikaze, the Pack was intercepted by the Star Seekers' flagship Tidal Wave and crash landed on a Planet, unbeknownst to the Crew the planet they landed on was a Cybertronian Colonial World called Animatron. Upon Arrival, the crew quickly discovered that the planet was actually an experimental world founded by Onyx Prime to create a new generation of Cybertronians with Beast Modes. The Pack enters a temple containing Hieroglyphics, Leobreaker touches and says one of the words on the wall that says "Maximize". A flash of light appears and Leobreaker and the Pack are taken to the realm of the Primes and are met with a giant beast like-Cybertronian with four legs, wings and four eyes. "Greetings Leobreaker, I am Onyx Prime, you and your compatriots are on the planet Animatron a world in which I hoped to create a new species known as Maximals. A more peaceful animalistic society that was destroyed by the Quintessons. In the Aftermath, Thundertron in his youth scanned an alt-mode of one of my citizens and begun his plundering. I am in need of your Team's services, my close friend Micronus is guiding your Leader Optimus on his Journey to defeat Megatronus The Fallen, I need your help to find Thundertron before he seeks an ultimate power that will ultimately be cataclysmic. I give you and your team the alt-modes of my citizens. Leobreaker do you accept the Burden with all that you are?" Leobreaker replies with "I do". "Arise Lio Convoy, you will become my Emissary I will grant upon you an Energon Matrix, a supplementation of the Matrix of Leadership that was created by myself, Prima and my dearest Solus. It will give you powers that will be unimaginable to you, now go for there is much to do"

Notes: Okay, so lets get this out of the way

The Maximals here are the ones that never made it to pasture. The idea of the Maximals in Prime seemed entirely far-fetched, but why not let me give a crack at it.

Leobreaker becomes Lio Convoy, Granted the Energon Matrix and becomes the Emissary of Onyx Prime (Who we've not seen or heard of in a long time)

Skipjack is an alternate name for (Erector) a name in which I will never ever in a million years ever grant to any character in TF Lore ever. The design was for a Beast Wars/ Prime style reimagining.

Bantor was mentioned by Ratchet and I thought I should just get that ball rolling.

Airrazor and Wolfang were in a construct-bots toyline for Prime and have a kind of Airrazor/Tigatron Relationship.

Twinferno (Awesome name) was in the Robots In Disguise 2015 toyline and had a cool design and has a type of Turbo Revving young punk personality.

Beastbox is a Mini-Con with Tons of Optimus Primal References

Divebomb is a Predacon turned Autobot/Maximal with a dark past.

Thundertron and the Star Seekers are the main enemy and seek Solus' Creation Lathe.

Energon Matrix gives Lio Convoy similar abilities to that of Beast Wars 2nd Lio Convoy

And that's all folks.

P.S. this is Lio Convoy's Final Form

late shift

Shuttle for Mars is departing now. Please keep hands, feet, tails, and other appendages clear of the yellow line.

‘Nice, finally get off work on time for once! Man is it empty, way less busy than the 5:45 one…

Are they sleeping? Please tell me they’re sleeping…’

“Snnrk…”

‘Oh good they are, oooh lots of empty seats next to them! Nice.’

The young human sits across the large figure and looks around.

‘Wonder why everyone else is sitting so far away from this guy? He’s not that much scarier than a Alteauh…OH! He’s an Orc! An actual Orc, oh this is so cool! Wait. Calm down, control yourself. Orc’s are people too, not some exotic animal in a zoo….he’s sooo cool looking tho!’

The human smiles and takes out their headphones and listens to some music and take in the view they see through the shuttle’s windows. From time to time they peek at the orc, can’t helping themselves from people-watching him.

Like what most humans imagined, he was huge. Easily more than 7 feet tall, with large calloused hands bigger than their head. He had large tusks but unlike the stereotypes he was well trimmed with well relatively kept hair. It would have neater had there not been dust in it. The orc wore dirty cloths and work boots. Beside them what looked like a tool box and bag.

‘Must be a construction worker or works in a trade’ they mused

‘Poor guy, he’s gotta be exhausted to sleep here. At least he gets to go home now.’

The shuttle shakes and with it so does the sleeping giant. Rocking side to side.

'That's not good.' They nervously slide off their headphones.

The turbulence increases until the sleeping orc leans too far and starts fall face first off his seat.

“OH SHIT!” Diving to their knees they manage to catch his head and shoulders.

“Mm?”

“You okay?” Damn he's heavy!

“Mmm…sorry.” Rubbing the sleep from his eyes he slowly got back into his seat, the turbulence now gone.

“No worries, I just didn’t want you to hit your head.”

“Heh, wouldn't be the first time I’ve done it.”

after rubbing his eyes a bit more and a crack of the neck he looks at them, brain finally working to some degree.

“…wait. You caught me?”

“Uh-huh”

“But you’re so small! Are you hurt?”

“You're not the first sleeping giant I’ve caught. I’m alright.”

“I am so sorry for that. I just finished working a 12 hour shift fixing the 1st and 3rd engine rooms and couldn’t help myself from dozing off.”

They whistle. “12 hours? No wonder you’re tired! If I were you I’d be in a coma.”

“Ah but surely you have a difficult job yourself. How else would you be able to catch me?”

“No, nothing like yours! I just work at a youngling centre.”

“The one on the ship?”

“That’s the one.”

“...YOUR ONE OF THE BRAVE WARRIORS WHO RISKED THEIR LIVES TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN??!”

“…you’ve heard of us?”

“Every orc and warrior worth their blade knows of your valiant deeds!! Tell me, what is your name??”

“Kim, uh and you are?”

“Fenrir. It is truly an honor to meet someone of your bravery and intelligence."

"Likewise! I've heard that the orc species are a true warrior race."

For the rest of the trip the two talked. Kim sharing how her and Max built such a safe room in the centre, which lead to the two realizing how similar each other's planets are.

"You have wind whirlpools as well? I thought they only existed on Bantor!"

"Well we call them hurricanes and tornadoes but yeah. Do you guys have hail?"

"Not where I grew up but nearby farther up they get a week or two of light hail showers during the fall. What about animals? Do you have reptiles bigger than an adult with large teeth and live in rivers? We call them darthrang."

"Oh we call them crocodiles!"

"Amazing! To think that your species live in a world much like mine!"

When the shuttle finally reached it's destination the two went their separate ways. A few days later they meet again, this time on the later shuttle. They sit and talk and create a routine of sorts where they became each others travelling companion for the trip to Mars.

One day however, Fenrir stopped coming. The human was saddened as she enjoyed his company but was soon surprised when seeing him at the centre.

"Kim! I've been transferred to stay on the ship so I won't be taking the shuttle to Mars anymore."

"Oh...well, as you know I only go home at the end of the week so maybe we can hang out now. Like eat lunch together or have a drink after work...or something like that!"

"Actually we'll be seeing each other everyday now. But if you don't get sick of me then yes, lets each lunch together."

"Great! But why will I be seeing you everyday?"

"Because after telling my family about you and the centre they've enrolled my nieces and nephews and younger siblings here...and I offered to drop them off and pick them up."

It was then that Kim noticed the dozen of orc children hiding behind Fenrir. The tallest and what looked the eldest of them stepped forward.

"Hello, I am Athea, uncle Fenrir said your one of the ones who saved the centre."

"Yes, my name is Kim. It's great to meet you AtheaaAA!" The orc girl pulled the human into a tight hug, lifting the adult woman off of her feet.

"Thank you for saving Nova." she mumbled into her chest.

'Ah, the Captain's daughter' Kim thought. "I was just doing what any teacher would do."

After a moment the human was put down and lead the children into the centre. The day went well. Fenrir's young family members were quickly won over by the humans, first with the saving of the centre, then with how they understood how wonderful their planet was rather than terrifying or deadly.

They were also greatly intrigued by how such a small species could survive in a planet that was thought to only be habitable to orcs.

"How can you carry us?" asked Thor, one of Fenrir's youngest brothers. "We're much bigger than a human child."

"Yeah but your not bigger than my cousins who are teenagers. Also just last month I had like 10 kids climbing on me. Two were tighalaxes."

"Your joking!"

...

"It that tumpon?!"

"Hm? We call it maafe, but it's also known as peanut stew, do you want some? It doesn't have any meat in it though."

"Guys Max has tumpon!! Can you tell Fenrir where we can buy the ingredients?"

"Of course. Finally I'll finish what gran gave me without having to gain 10 pounds."

And thus the first day ended on a high note! Now if only Kim could figure out why the children looked at her and nodded while talking to Fenrir...

So this based off of a post by @llamagoddessofficial about humans meeting actual space orcs. Sadly I can't find the actual post. but yeah, here u go, space orc and human meet cute

[fatallyfalling]

{{ f a n f i c d i l e m m a }}

- hello !

- currently working through my promised Finnick fluff along with some Peeta headcanons but i’ve got an inkling for a Finnick x reader series idea and i’d love to get an interest check!

- originally i thought i might be able to get the idea in one long post but that would just be way too many words or time skips and scrolling haha, so i was thinking around 4 or more parts?

- I enjoy witty banter and the “enemies to friends to lovers” trope too much but I also love a good slow burn!

- I know my idea may not be very original but i’m kind of excited to write it in my own take nonetheless. please let me know your thoughts!

- Essentially You and Finnick would have met when you were reaped for the 67th annual Hunger games (making you both sixteen). Mags is your mentor because Finnick is being taken to the capital for “business” (we all know it’s not business)

- There’ll be train bantor to develop why you mutually aren’t fond of one another at first - you’re a caged animal being hauled to inevitable slaughter while he has the luxury of keeping his life and newfound “privilege” as a victor.

-The two of you are separated once you arrive in the Capital and you don’t see Finnick again till after you manage to survive and somehow win the games.

- Things get testy from here on your victory tour while a certain “Capital’s Darling” comes to some unexpected realizations about you.

- the story will jump around after the victory tour but the romance won’t really begin till after both of you are adults (shortly before the quarter quell making you both early twenties) !!!!

- No more spoilers from here though muahahha !

Fuzors are a really cool concept tbh they should revist them sometime

First time i actually stuck to letting a toy only bw character remain as a normal bot lmao

Here's bantor

[hasbr0mniverse]

Beast Wars Transformers 1998 - Maximal Bantor - Subgroup: Fuzor - Function: Jungle Warrior and Demolitions Expert - Temperamental and solitary, Bantor relishes his Fuzor animalian fusion. Enhanced by the attributes of a baboon's and tiger's instincts, he is a natural warrior in total flux with the ways of combat. Extremely versatile, Bantor combines the cunning patience of a tiger with the near-demented frenzy of a baboon, deleting the need for ammunition in close-range combat. Optimal Optimus's first choice for recon or demolition missions. Bantor can traverse deep into Predacon territory and escape undetected. Largely unknown by the enemy, his reputation for setting undetectable traps exceeds his identity, though his power-ram head and right hook are widely considered devastating.

Star Slammer (1986)

Film review #614

Director: Fred Olen Ray

SYNOPSIS: Taura, a freelance miner working on the planet Arous, is arrested after helping the locals stand up against Captain Bantor and his crew, who are attempting to stop the uprising. Taura is arrested and sentenced to be imprisoned aboard a space prison ship. there, she must survive the warden and the inmates to try and escape...

THOUGHTS/ANALYSIS: Star Slammer (Also known as The Adventures of Taura, Prison Ship, Star Slammer: The Escape, or any combination thereof) is a 1986 sci-fi film. The plot centres around Taura, a freelance miner who gets caught up defending the inhabitants of the planet Arous from Captain Bantor and his minions, who are there to quell an uprising on the planet. After burning Bantor's hand in a volcanic acid plume, she is arrested and sentenced to prison on board a space ship. Once there, Taura must survive the warden, as well as the other inmates, and find her way home. It should be no surprise to learn that this film is mostly just about showing off scantily-clad women fighting each other; but it is what it is, and it doesn't really try to be anything else. The plot is threadbare and has little to latch on to, but at least tries to fill in the gap with the aforementioned half-clothed women. There is a clear lack of pretension in the film and its direction: it knows what it is , and it proceeds to run with it as far as its menial budget will allow.

The characters aren't all too interesting: Taura is a fairly standard lead, and the rest of the inmates have a bit of personality, but nothing special. The most notable performance for me was the Warden, played by Marya Grant, who delivers such an exaggerated and over-the-top performance that you cannot help but take notice. The film also ropes in veteran movie star Aldo Ray for a a small part, which was apparently mostly used to show funders to back the project.

Filmed over the course of three days, the film is restricted to the opening being shot outdoors, presumable somewhere in the California hills, and the rest on the prison ship on set. However, the film can mostly get away with this, given that a prison ship is a fairly compact and small setting. Despite the production constraints, the film still manages to accomplish a lot more than other films would have with the same budget (and probably more): the sets themselves have a decent amount of detail and authenticity, and the practical effects aren't terrible. It's difficult to be too harsh on the film for this reason: it has a self-awareness, and it feels like some effort has gone into it, and at least some of the actors are trying. The story could definitely have used refining, as its mostly forgettable, but it never loses a self-awareness of its own limitations. One of the big drawbacks is that the film doesn't seem to want to veer to much into the 'women prison' softcore scenario, so there's only two topless shots and implied sexual scenes, which is fine, but without going too far in the genre, it has an empty space where the more lewd stuff should be. Overall, Star Slammer is trashy sci-fi that could definitely be a lot worse than it is, and has some funny moments, but some weaker elements definitely drag it down; ultimately though, you should never lose sight of the films self-awareness regarding its own limits and what it is trying to be.

The Original Concept for TFP S3: Maximals and Predacons on Cybertron

So, I think we all know about the general fuckery surrounding TFP’s production, especially around season three...

Hasbro: Still Does Not Know How to Effectively Produce Shows Despite Doing So Since the 1980s

While we’ll never know all the details, presumably because a lot of these people still work for Hasbro in some capacity and would almost certainly like to keep their jobs lmao, we do have this: 

“Dropped plans included a S3 set mostly on Cybertron, with Maximals and Predacons in a 'wild west' set up...” - TF Wiki

“...the creatives behind Prime didn't want to be beholden to older stuff... Then the incoming Prime director abruptly changed Beast Hunters plans and clashed with Hasbro.” - TF Wiki 2

And we have some details from a convention, courtesy of @sunnybutte here, which provides further proof that S3 was originally planned to be radically different from the Beast Wars season that we got. 

This is likely due to internal conflict between creative teams/directors/Hasbro, the mess that was trying to implement the Aligned Continuity overall, and serious budget issues that are hinted to have started back in S2′s production period-- On top of the tight time constraints in which episodes had to be completely re-conceptualised, re-scripted, and re-animated! Yikes. 

HOWEVER. 

We do have a single blatant hint in the show, on screen, as to what S3 was originally supposed to be! 

In the episode Operation Bumblebee Part 2, when Ratchet is coming out of sedation (stasis), he rambles a bit; You can hear the relevant dialogue here at around 2:54. 

Now, I have a hearing disability, and it’s hard for me to make out exactly what Ratchet is saying because his speech is slurred from the sedation in this scene. 

As a result, this is the best transcript I can provide: 

Ratchet: “I... am able! Just ask Bantor! He was all mandrill before I put a tiger in his tank!” 

One Line of Dialogue with Many Implications! 

Now, Bantor is a Maximal from Beast Wars.

Ratchet’s dialogue here confirms that Maximals do exist in TFP’s canon, and that Ratchet is responsible for converting Bantor into a Fuzor. 

(I vaguely remember Fowler also saying “What’s a fuzor?!?!” at some point in TFP, and it might even be in this episode as well, but I can’t seem to find a clip of it at the moment!)

Jokes For Old People: Thanks, Ratchet

Also, I love the meta joke of the “tiger in his tank” line; Many of you possibly saw this noted on TF Wiki as I think they point it out somewhere (probably in the episode page), but it’s a reference to an old Esso gasoline tagline! 

It counts as a double meta joke, because not only is it a dual reference to Beast Wars and Esso, but it’s also a tagline that hasn’t been used in at least a couple decades--- 

---Which is also a play on Ratchet’s age and the age of potential audience members watching the show. 

Younger people might have caught the Beast Wars reference but not the Esso reference, while older people would have caught the Esso reference as well. 

In Conclusion: My Posts Are Always Long, I Know 

Anyway, it sucks that executive meddling keeps messing up good shows, and I would have loved to have seen a season based on Cybertron with all of the main Autobot characters engaging with Maximals and Predacons. 

Not that the S3 we got was bad or anything, but I think it definitely derailed things, and the original concept would have likely worked out better overall-- Although of course, we’ll never know...

...Because Hasbro sunk $250,000+ into the Aligned Continuity bible, which they never used again. 

Thanks for reading all this, and if you have any thoughts about TFP S3 (either the one we got or the one we didn’t), I’d love to hear it!

Bantor With The Captor

Agatha Harkness x Fem!Reader

Summary: Agatha's kidnapped you and has you cowering for her? Or has she?

Warnings: Curse language, kidnapping, mentions of murder (throwing out a window i guess)

So, from what I understood this is what you wanted, so if you like it please let me know. I've used all of your prompts.

REQUEST ARE OPEN !!

---

In the shadowy confines of Agatha Harkness's mystical domain, a battle of wits unfolded between the cunning witch and yourself, a master of snark and sass.

"You think you can outsmart me, little one?" Agatha's voice dripped with arrogance as she flicked her wrist, conjuring a swirling vortex of dark energy.

You met her gaze with a smirk, unimpressed by her display of power. "Oh, darling, I don't think. I know."

Agatha's eyes narrowed, a flicker of irritation crossing her features. "You dare to mock me?"

You shrugged nonchalantly, a twinkle of mischief in your eyes. "It's not mocking if it's true."

With a flourish, Agatha unleashed a barrage of magical attacks, each one more menacing than the last. But you were ready, deflecting her onslaught with a wave of your hand and a snide remark.

"Nice try, Agatha, but I've seen scarier bedtime stories," you quipped, your tone dripping with sarcasm.

Agatha's lips curled into a sneer as she raised her hand once more, determined to put an end to your insolence once and for all. But to her surprise, you remained unfazed, a smug grin playing at your lips.

"If you do that again, I'll throw you out that fucking window, you-" Agatha's threat was interrupted by a burst of laughter as you glanced over at the nearest window.

"Oh, are we taking requests now?" you teased, a mischievous glint in your eyes. "Because I've always wanted to see how high this tower goes."

Agatha's jaw dropped in disbelief, her composure crumbling in the face of your relentless snark. "You… you dare to mock me in my own domain?"

You shrugged casually, a smirk playing at your lips. "Hey, you started it."

For a moment, the tension between you hung thick in the air, the echoes of your banter reverberating off the walls of Agatha's chamber. But then, to your surprise, Agatha's expression softened, a hint of amusement twinkling in her eyes.

"You certainly are… entertaining, my dear," Agatha conceded, a reluctant smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

You grinned triumphantly, feeling a surge of satisfaction at having bested the formidable witch with nothing but your quick wit and sharp tongue.

[askvectorprime]

Dear Vector Prime, it is noted that Beast Wars chronologically takes place in the past, but is there a universe where instead of being shunted to Earth's past, they are instead shunted to the far future of life on Earth?

Dear Future Fan,

In one universe, Megatron did indeed miscalculate his transwarp trajectory, and the Axalon and Darksyde crash-landed on Earth fifty million years in the future, a time when humanity had gone extinct. To survive on this untamed world, both sides adopted beast modes based on the local wildlife. Optimus Primal became a long-armed khiffah; the ‘bot you know as “Cheetor” became a gigantic, long-legged carnivore rat, “Rattrap” a long-eared lutie, and “Rhinox” a hulking rundihorn. In time, they were joined by Switchback, who scanned his alternate mode from an alpine shurrack, Bantor, who became a fierce horrane, and Nyx, who became a blind purrip bat.

While Megatron chose his beast mode from a long-fossilized tyrannosaurus rex, and Terrorsaur an extinct Pteranodon, the Predacon you know as “Dinobot” instead chose to take on the form of a frightful, ground-dwelling bat. Insects and arachnids had not changed much in the intervening millennia, so most of the other Predacons were quite similar to the ones you know—with the notable exception of Splashdown, whose stasis pod scanned a colony of peculiar water-dwelling ants. He was as savage and unpredictable a warrior as the Inferno of other timelines, but blasted his foes with high-pressure water cannons that rusted joints and stripped gears. 

As both the Vok and the Ark had long left Earth by this point, this iteration of the Beast Wars was a rather more pedestrian affair, lacking the intriguing twists and turns of the conflict you know. Indeed, the war came to a rather unceremonious end when the Predacon Council intervened; as the Golden Disk provided a map to a location that had long since ceased to exist, Megatron’s gambit was fruitless and Ravage took the Predacons into custody without incident, ferrying both sides in the war back to their own time period aboard his transwarp cruiser.
