#honestly considering his actions in tfa lugnut's thought process won't be murder but absolutely trying to drag Meggsie back to the cons

I had an IWD thought with Strikenut. Imagine the chaos if Tarn discovered Megatron's defection because the Peaceful Tyranny and Strika's flag ship were at the same station. He hears Lugnut comeing unglued, wailing and weaping " NO! LORD MEGATRON! IT CAN'T BE!" Tarn rushes towards the news fearing Megatron's dead and he sees the mesage. Cue Megatron's fanboi club having histrionics togeather in solidarity for the first time in ever.

Tarn doesn't get a chance to "take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing, end them," because Strika ends up including him in her kick starting her conjux's brain module. "Stop it both of you! Before the pair of you bring the roof down! The stament was likely coerced. We need to find the Supreme Comander, rescue him and check for signs of meneosurgery!"

I have no idea how it would end, or effect the Lost Light's voyage but I'm certian Nickel and Strika would get on famously.

Okay temporarily, Tarn and Luggy would have the most unbearable sobfest yes yes. It would be so fucking funny.

Strika being the braincell yet again🥰

I'm trying to remember if Strika is already in IDWG1 or not. Because her design has gotta be good in the full IDWG1 style

While we the audience know he wasn't shadowplayed, it makes perfect fucking sense to suspect mnemosurgery. How fucked up would it have been if mnemosurgery was involved in his trial or his sentence? (Him on the LL post shadowplay??)

I think they find Nickel somewhere between their first appearance in MTMTE and their second, but yes. They'd have the best goddamn dynamic, but I'm imagining if they get into arguments those arguments have to be so fucking nuclear. But also they (usually) back each other's decisions up because typically "sOMEBODY HAS TO BE THE SMART ONES ON BOARD, and Primus knows it isn't you."

The idea of Lugnut and Strika chilling with the DJD for a while has to be so interesting
