That guy

[emotional-support-robot]

Canonically, Starscream has 12 cats. The world may have forgotten this but I will never forget.

Sometimes when I'm bored I'll take out my kittynator raygun and shoot my blorbos with it

BE WARNED… HE WEILDS THE STRONGEST WEAPON ON CYBERTRON!!!

[thenamesblurrito]

so it's uh been awhile. you might wanna click for clarity, especially for the kitty cat on the right. everyone here except Chromedome is a size null!

Grandus has been a champion of various martial arts since long before the Stratocracy was ever founded, with grace belied by his size null bulk. his particular specialty is a type of wrestling originating from his home planet Caminus, but he's lived on Cybertron a long time, working with Yoketron to teach and record martial arts as much as he can. under the current regime that looks down on such "violence", preserving this information is pretty important. when Yoketron decided to chip in as a benefactor for the JAAT, Grandus himself actually took a teaching position in physical education. the self-knowledge and body confidence he passes on to his students is unexpectedly engaging, almost enough to get some of them to stop gossiping about whatever relationship he may or may not have with pop star Rosanna.

whether or not his students were sports fans before, Eject is going to make sure they leave his class with a new appreciation for the glorious art of physical competition. an unmatched master of sports history and science, he can tell you the play-by-play of every Cube match in the past fifty million years without looking anything up, just as much of a terrifying information sponge as his twin, and equally terrifying on the field despite his extremely small datacube frame. given the cultural importance and how there's a sport for every function, he's actually got quite a bit of teaching material to cover even for the less active students. while he does have a Conjunx, he's not exactly in love with Chromedome like Rewind is, only married to him because of the way twin sparks work. they get along well enough, but he and Rewind have agreed that should they ever pick up an Amica, it'll be somebody Eject adores himself.

Chromedome is honestly a little confused as to how he wound up here in the first place. before, he was a psychiatric recordkeeper and ethical inspector. then his Conjunx Rewind got it into his head that he'd be just the perfect candidate to help out that new school Jhiaxus was trying to open, and Chromedome abruptly found himself a teacher of psychiatry. it's quite the change of pace, and honestly much less depressing to talk with a bunch of bright younglings than pore over yet another case file of horrific medical malpractice. he's an average size 2 car, but that's more than tall enough to pick up both his Conjunces with ease, if the two of them ever stood still long enough to nab.

he may not be JAAT faculty, but Rewind is ever-present anyway. both to check in on his twin and Conjunx or friends like Blaster, and also to get the freshest scoop on all the juicy stories this school spawns constantly! he may be tiny, but he is The star reporter of Iacon--no, Cybertron! nothing can stand in the way of getting that snippet, that quote, that blurry video, that first hand experience broadcasted to the world, even when his support staff Raindance and Grand Slam lag behind! information, he wants information! it all goes into his own alt mode storage as a datacube, making him quite the encyclopedia. the Stratocracy has tried and utterly failed to censor him, so instead they've relegated him to the function he has always excelled at, although with the way he is "accidentally" platforming the heroes and their dangerous ideals, they may be regretting letting Rewind run wild...

Roadmaster is a familiar face to many at the JAAT already, both to old friends like Thunderclash and folks she's never met. she's the host of popular nature show Quintessential Creatures, teaching viewers all about weird and wonderful wildlife. she was forged on Caminus long enough ago that her original records have been lost, but she's traveled everywhere since then, and her animal-wrangling bravery often makes people think she must be from Carcer instead. by all appearances she's slowing down now, letting her assistant Servo take on more responsibility, and this teaching position at the Academy is just perfect. she gets to affectionately nag a gaggle of fellow teachers many millions of years her junior while surreptitiously instilling revolutionary ideals and a love of nature in dozens of impressionable young minds. her walker transforms to become the cage on her enormous transport truck alt mode, most often used to haul rehabilitated mechanimals back to their natural habitats.

Meowgatron is a rusty tabkey who came up and sat on Roadmaster's clipboard one day and has been her darling pet ever since. he is, in a word, an idiot, and yet surprisingly good at finding his new favorite person Starscream to sit on and purr, no matter where he's hiding. rusty tabkeys like himself have lava lamp radiator alt modes, and many stressed students find petting his warm, blobby body very soothing. it almost makes up for his daily yowling sessions when he gets himself stuck inside a desk somehow.

[decepti-thots]

do the people know about meowgatron

[spicycury13]

I love it when I'm late for trends

[askvectorprime]

Regarding Megatron/Galvatron’s takeover, if the Megatron you’re most familiar with also took the name Galvatron, does that mean he also tapped into the consciousness of every Galvatron in the multiverse as well?

Dear Speculative Psychonaut,

It would seem he did—not only did he take on the aspects of countless other versions of Megatron and Galvatron, but Gigatron, Teratron, Galavratron, Meowgatron…

[shisabun]

I have come into possession of the Big Lots flower pots, so now I'm a fledgling plant mom.

Megatron approves.

[shisabun-art]

Megatron is offended by my new wall mounted display piece.

Sorry love, it only came in Autobot.

Behold. Dancing Jon Arbuckle Starscream featuring Meowgatron tie

I also used it for shading and reflected light practice so you get both

She’s Having The BEST DAY!

As soon as I saw this promotional popcorn bucket, I knew what I had to do.

Initial test fit because it was adorable.

He a Short King.

[macadam]

Mac is wrong once again. Meow meow, Macameow. Have a good Meow Meow Meowgatron Meownday btw.

What if I killed

[forgedcold]

He's been referred to as 'buckethead' so often that it's hard to envision himself as a cat.

[thenamesblurrito]

Meowgatron 🥺

Now I’m just imagining starscream doing the thing where he spins in a chair dramatically with meowgatron on his lap (also meowgatron adoring starscream while megatron exists is very funny)

oh yes Starscream would absolutely do that, he's not above using the cat to increase his own drama. it probably wouldn't work though because Meowgie would end up like this

so uh. not the most effective intimidating chair spin methinks

Meowgie gets along with nearly everybody, he's stupid and loving like that. Megatron actually likes the cat, he just gets annoyed with the way Starscream becomes a cat magnet. like, really? of all the student body, you picked that one? truly an idiot animal

[sunoflegend]

Do you have any pets? If so, what are their names? What are they like personality-wise? Can we see them?

"There's Meowgatron. He's a pain in the aft and a nightmare, but not in the way I'd want to kill most other things for. He's funny about it. Usually he just finds somewhere to sleep for most of the day and yells if he wants something, which is more straightforwards then most bots I know. And no, you can't see him."
