I have reason from the dead (sleep) to drop more lore.

The start of MiniMegs, which has been building in the background.

Rodimus's six months depressive isolation moment that no one talked about in which he worked solely from his bedroom is interupted not by his corpse but within a month of departing Cybertron they get hailed by the Peaceful Tyranny and he, Megatron, and Ultra Magnus are freaking out preparing for a fight staging the landing platform like a fre for all battle like they did with Overlord.

Only instead of fighting, Tarn and the DJD in a synchronized and definitely practiced movement (except the small blue Minibot, that's new who is slightly slower) drop to one knee in front of him, declaring they are here to follow their Lords example and wise words and as he has seen fit to seek out the Knights of Cybertron to seek their Wisdom in judging him and that these mechanisms are apparently worthy of sharing in his journey they will of course escort him and the Lost Light while learning from his and the Autobots assembled here, clearly the best of the best of they are escorting their Lord, how to move on and make Peace not War.

It is clearly very rehearsed, incredibly theatrical like something from a period drama and both not at all what anyone was expecting and very damning for Megatron who is supposed to be person non grata to Decepticons now. So he doing some quick mental gymnastics on how to handle this and reject them without setting anyone off when Rodimus comes barrelling forward having smelled weakness, missing his own former Decepticon, senses they are sincere if definitely shady (his exact type), and having not slept since Cybertron.

He graciously excepts citing that they aren't the first former Decepticons or neutral agents on the ship, but, of course, the ship is under Autobot Law and they would need to pass the same test any defector passes to prove they can do it and then looks at Ultra Magnus, who is horrified but automatically starts citing requirements to qualify.

Which Tarn counters quickly, offering up datapads and citing lines within the Tyrest Accord that legalize his Squad under Decepticon Law, offer some intel, and is confident they can pass the test which UM is familiar with given he'd worked within it before as both sides were under the TA.

What follows is a very tense hour of the DJD sitting taking the Autobot SATs while everyone stands their tense. Every comment, including Helex singing a stufy song under his breath and Vos muttering to himself, or movement, Teserus counting with his fingers as he figure out and answer and Tarn tapping to the rhythm of their theme song, makes everyone flinch.

(This is of course after Whirl mutters, "You're fucking joking." When Magnus brought out the test papers.

Tailgate meanwhile is sympathizing with Helex's struggle on Question 17 with Cyclonus noting the song would have been useful to learn.)

Finally they pass and are tenporarily shown to their ship to wait while its graded and a surprise Command Meeting ensues.

MiniMegs are actually yelling and arguing because Ultra Magnus is utterly convinced this is a plot against them as he doesn't trust Megatron yet and Megatron is defending himself trying to explain the DJD are genuinely just like that and overzealous while Rodimus watches the ping pong conversation with relish and then grinning asks if they passed.

Ultra Magnus, through clenched teeth admits, "Yes. And Tarn's essay on certain elements was particularly inspired, especially the portion on self-identification and removal of leftover protofunctionalist language I will be quoting to the board as he has eloquently risen concerns I have attempted to cite before. Nickel, the Minibot, has also supplied a scathing essay on bodily autonomy not being accurately covered that I will be asking be submitted to the Medical Board."

Megatron doesn't quite understand UM ironclad rules are rules and attempts to convince, all silver words and charm, them to allow him a moment to persuade the DJD to leave but then UM locks down that they are required to accept anyone requesting asylum and as they have passed they are considered proto-Autobots and will need to be assessed by Rung and mentored.

They follow procedure unlike some.

(Ultra Magnus's bitterness over Drift and Megatron's inclusion in their ranks does in fact come from a place of them not having gone through proper onboarding.)

Thus they start at each other's throats.

And then Nickel mentions the Autobot they "found" and everything goes even more tits up because that's Minimus's perfect big brother.

Cur bluescreen.

(MiniMegs Part 1)

So

Wait yes this so yesssssss

"(MiniMegs Part 1)"

This is a wild ride and I feel like it's gonna continue to be because holy shit yes

Poor Megatron is wondering how he'll explain so hard that this isn't some plot of his to start the war again when Roddie just damn swoops in like a Lightning McQueen flavored phoenix.

Tarn held so many study sessions to prepare for the autobot test, damn I'm actually wondering how good of a study buddy he would be because you're certainly gonna learn the topic.

Ohhh Mags, Megs... You two are gonna be dragged under just like the rest of us— no mech will be unaffected by the end of this lmao.

Everyone is bluescreening and Tarn and Roddie are sitting in in the corner making goo goo optics at each other

Image description 1 of 4: TR Windblade, FoC Jazz, S86 Hot Rod, PotP Elita One, and Arcee (kitbash from WfC Nightbird) stand facing WfC Siege Megatron, WfC Siege Starscream, and BBM Howlback. Elita and Megatron appear to be arguing, Hot Rod is turned away with a hand to their head, Arcee is drawing her swords from her back stacks with one already ignited, and Starscream has one of his shoulder null ray rifles aimed at her. End image description.

One of four photo panels in a wordless story about Megatron that gets kind of violent. Also Gauge makes an appearance! This isn’t related to what we write  but we put the photos together because Megatron was trending on Twitter (what with the SDCC reveal of the Legacy BM Megatron). Continue, if you’d like...

Image description 2 of 4: Megatron, Howlback, BW Archadis, and Gen Selects Nightbird overrun WfC Slammer, Cyberverse Thunderhowl, WfC Siege Sideswipe, and Cyberverse Alpha Trion. Specifically, Slammer is bisected with Howlback running across him, Archadis fires another pistol blast into a downed Thunderhowl, Nightbird runs a sword through Sideswipe, and Megatron blasts Alpha Trion in the head with his fusion cannon. End image description.

Image description 3 of 4: With a sci-fi polityscape behind them, battle is met between Autobots and Decepticons: Arcee and Megatron clash swords as the elder pink warrior brings her blade between Megatron's fusion cannon and his arm. Gauge (kitbash of Sonicblue Bumble) rushes behind her, while Hot Rod and shatter exchange blasts, with Pyra Magna running in with her axe raised. Near the front, Impossible Toys Glyph takes a missile shot in the torso from BM Strika on the other side of the field, and BBM Ratchet sprints from the back to help the injured Autobot. Cyberverse Dead End lies immobile on the ground, with PotP Octopunch using him for cover to exchange shots with T30 Cosmos and WfC Rattrap. In the back on the Decepticon side, Vertebreak is running in, WfC Cyclonus lobs a mortar like blast with his blaster, and WfC Siege Starscream is... running away. End image description.

Image description 4 of 4: Battle has subsided. Jazz, Pyra Magna, Cyclonus, MMC Nickel, BBM Frenzy, Rattrap, and Cosmos look on as Gauge's swords meet Megatron's own blade, and his head. Ratchet is repairing Glyph with a repair gun, and Velocity (kitbash from TR Blurr) runs in holding Rung in his alt mode, while an injured Hot Rod points her in Arcee's direction, who sits on the ground with one back stack on the ground and the other out of position. Shatter lies offline opposite Hot Rod, barely visible Vertebreak scrambles from the ground, and Strika has a fire going through her dorsal frame. Greenlight, sword and rifle in hand, is just behind and keeping pace with Velocity.  End image description.

For real though Gauge taking down Megatron would be really cool and would give pause we think. There’s a whole arc you could fit in there before that, okay truth be told these photos have some bearing on the Autosignet Cycle we’re writing, Gauge gets a rising vanguard arc and learns to use two swords like her mentor, among other things. We won’t spoil more

What is the E6013 Welding Rod?

E6013 welding rod has garnered popularity over time as it is versatile and easy to wield. Welding with an E6013 welding rod is possible even for beginners, but more experienced welders also like it due to the clean joint line, and the ability to cover body thicknesses without overloading the weld with heat. Weld bead appears “clean” which looks pleasing in most instances where aesthetics matter most”; so much that you may find it appealing even though you are not a professional welder yet. The reason why people prefer E6013 for welding is that it is easy to use and does not emit waste.

PROWL: So Megatron is unaware of your defection? And invited *you* to the Conclave.

DRIFT: It wasn't exactly announced? Turmoil and I had been at each others throats for months, and I've gone...independent before on occasion. I'd have thought Lockdown or someone would have mentioned it but apparently not.

PROWL: Your background as Deadlock isn't widely known within the Autobots either. Your paperwork hasn't officially been filed anywhere but my private systems.

DRIFT: [with a bad feeling and hating monthly "checkups" already] ...okay.

PROWL: Keep an eye out for an email.

PROWL: [off screen] Jazz, I need to pull you for new ops training.

Drift is absolutely certain it cannot be what he thinks it is. Prowl cannot actually expect him to just walk up to the Conclave and act like nothing happened. There is no possible way.

Jazz arrives and cheerfully informs him that it is exactly that. Clearly the lack of survivors on Turmoil's crew and Lockdown's own recent need to make a run for it meant Deadlock’s defection never updated. Plus, while under Kup, he hasn't exactly become widely known or been spotted. Jazz has his own cover identity as a Decepticon he's carefully maintained, but they've never gotten close to the Conclave. Hence, their new job to temporarily resurrect Deadlock as a double agent.

There's a lot of arguing and vack and forth, but the knowledge the last Conclave started off the Expansion Era is convincing enough that everyone is taking this seriously. Even Decepticon operations have been put temporarily on hold, and they have the best of the best on it. There are some compromises, though. Drift isn't going in alone. Jazz, obviously, and the Wreckers and Kup's squad are on standby to pull him if needed.

Also, Hot Rod, with his new spanking Decepticon Identity, Flareup, shows up with a purple and blue paintjob to Drift's first spy class to go with him. Hot Rod is a scout and was the leader in a secret revolution, and he's actually better at the social aspect and making quick connections seeming comfortable and like he belongs then expected. Drift is also uncomfortable about the fact he is a good social chameleon being praised and Jazz's unsubtle attempts to join his team rather than Kup's.

Starscream, meanwhile, has put a pin on Earth because he is not missing this, so humanity gets an unexpected mercy from immeninent alien invasion while the war goes in a different direction.

Tarn meanwhile is perfectly happy with his supportive team, daydreams of a reunion, and the correct shade of orange at last. He is completely oblivious to Nickel plotting to murder Megatron and Vos, encouraging her while the rest of the DJD deal with the uncomfortable feeling of admitting they are also upset about Tarn's treatment but aren't quite willing to fully criticize Megatron.

No one has told Nickel yet that it is Megatron, and she and Flareup are currently exchanging revenge plots. Even better her friend is going to be at the Conclave along with Tarn's pesky soon-to-be ex and has agreed to help Nickel hide the body because apparently none of the other DJD are willing to take out the trash so she will.

Gsggd nooo of course prowl of course

So he's just gonna stroll in there like nothing happened, delightful

Makes sense everyone's taking this very seriously based on what they previously know about the Conclave

SONOFYES, RODDIE HAS A DECEPTI-SONA

Starscream making a smart decision

The full on murder plot is funny to me, like tarn would disapprove but i sure don't

I'm sorry Megatron you may be my fave but you're often a horrible person

This Conclave is gonna be a disaster🥰🥰🥰
