#i'll get to the post fragmentation components eventually

[cyber-aster]

Ohh, I saw your shattered glass Autobot combiners, but what about the Shattered Glass Decepticon combiners?

(The Constructicons canonically all being healers and medics in SG warms my heart and thinking of Devs holding some of that is !!!)

Holy primus it's @wwheeljack the fic author that introduced me to combiners and kickstarted my stunticon obsession-

Anyways, SG Fragmentation AU's decepticon combiners pre-fragmentation :D a lovely trio. they might not be as fierce as warriors in this universe but they more than make up for it with their other traits

SG Devastator: is still the oldest modern combiner, reforged from a crew of Decepticon medics who sacrificed their lives in a difficult battle. despite his name, devs was never quite one for destruction. while not incapable of combat, devastator much prefers fixing things up, whether they are buildings or other mechs. patient and steadfast, he is both an expert in construction and medicine. he very much considers himself the older brother to the other two combiners and checks up on them frequently, considering the fact that he's pretty much the only one can do that on a regular basis. compared to his more aloof baseline self he really cares about those two, to the point where he misses his own assignments in order to fix them up, and brings them along to help with some projects from time to time. however, his concern for others often leaves him distracted and vulnerable to attacks, usually resulting in quite a number of injuries that he needs help fixing.

SG Menasor: still created from earth vehicles, but is proud of his close association with the planet and is not afraid to admit it. really enjoys human culture and just being around others in general, with a special love for listening to the radio. quite the excitable, easygoing and extroverted mech, but has nerves of steel in an emergency situation. enjoys being on the road in decombined form and driving around earth, but is aware of his strength and the danger he poses to humans and their vehicles should he be reckless, so menas is quite aware of traffic laws in different places so he doesn't hurt humans. unfortunately, this level of cautiousness sometimes extends into the battlefield, where he would hold back his strength and speed by instinct, which often puts him on the defensive in a fight, especially against more aggressive opponents. he can hold his own, but his reluctance to unleash his full strength made him a target of mockery of the autobots and even irritates some decepticons, but he doesn't really care about what others think.

bonus fact: his level of cautiousness and unwillingness to crash into others got passed onto motormaster after fragmentation. just like Tinted Lenses sg motors not wanting to crash into others is an idea that got into my head one day and refused to leave.

SG Bruticus: the youngest of the trio (so far, again i may be bringing new teams to the AU) and very much looks up to the other two, which makes devastator and menasor quite protective of him. is really good at assessing a situation quickly and improvising on the go, and is surprisingly adept at managing logistics. is humble almost to the point of self deprecation, as bruticus feels like he can always do better and has lots to learn from others. socially awkward and speaks a lot less in public, often staying silent and clinging to either devs or menas, but is more comfortable with chatting with his brothers when it's just them in their own combiner base. not good at very complicated schemes and prefers more straightforward plans and actions. is also a very bad liar and easily folds under scrutiny, very vulnerable to pressure and taunts, often ends with bruticus distracted by the insults and requiring others, usually the other two, to assist him. is very self conscious about this fact and is trying to overcome this weakness.

hope i did these fellers justice :D ALSO GO READ THE FRACTURE SERIES IT IS AMAZINGLY WRITTEN AND WILL MAKE YOU ADORE THE STUNT LADS!
