Sg Getaway is just a curious little guy who practically lives in the vents, he's still an escapologist but he's not evil anymore

He genuinely means well in shattered glass

[ijusthavesomanyblorbos]

So, if SG Prowl is basically Starscream, wouldn't that make Skids and Getaway, Skywarp and Thundercracker?

Hmm... I think that as far as just mirroring the placement of characters, it works- but their dynamic is very, very different.

Basic overview on how I see their characters- Prowl is the mastermind behind their operations. SG! turns the moral ambiguity and manipulation tactics of his character up to the max. He's the Machiavellian monster pulling the strings behind the scenes

...More so than usual, that is.

Meanwhile, with Skids and Getaway, it's similar to their Lost Light dynamics. Skids is the grunt- not to say that he isn't intelligent, because he absolutely is! But he doesn't question Prowl, or the Autobot regime at all. He does what he's told, and he does it well.

And then Getaway. He's, for a lack of a better word, the mole. The Decepticon sympathizer. The traitor, working right under Prowl's nose.

See, the whole point of their trio is a game of cat and mouse. It's a psychological thriller, as Getaway tries to smuggle as much information to the Cons as possible without getting himself killed; or, knowing Prowl, much, much worse.

Does Prowl know Getaway's a mole? Hell, does Skids? Is he being watched, is he being fed false information? Is Getaway's entire operation just another cog in Prowl's big machine? Every god damn thought Getaway has; for all he knows it's been filed, saved, and documented 10 solar cycles before he's even thought it. That's Prowl for you.

These are all valid questions. These are all very valid questions that Getaway would very much like to have answered. Unfortunately, they won't be.

Not until he's dead or free.

Getaway's in too deep, and the name of the game is Paranoia.

Sg 2 and idw pharmbulon and starbee 4

SHATTERED GLASS

2...my three favorite characters and why I love them so much.

Ohhh boy i think Goldbug, Blaster and the idea of SG Getaway are taking the prize money. I need to reread sg but Goldbug is the best take on Bumblebee's character imo and makes solid ground for his entire character analysis, not just SG. Blaster i just like the design a lot and how comically cocky and evil he was though his death was. Fucked up.

And Getaway.... We all know 😭

Pharmbulon

4...how many other characters in my opinion see the chemistry of this couple before the couple itself does.

It's kind of rly funny but I don't think anyone does. Even when they're obviously doing something in private I don't think anyone puts two and two together, neither do these two for that matter. Though if Pharma and Ambulon got to be on Lost Light together someone prolly would clock them as amica real quick and both of them will be too embarrassed to see each other for like a week or something.

Starbee

4...how many other characters in my opinion see the chemistry of this couple before the couple itself does.

Ohghg in some perfect scenario Star's trine are gonna notice I know they would. People around him in general. I think he's very obvious in the way he treats Bee. But also once they actually start spending a lot of time together casually I think it becomes obvious ffor literally everyone.

[transingthoseformers]

Idea: Regular Lost Light meets the SG!Lost Light At some point when they meet (assuming they don't fight immeditately, which is a big if) someone is like "Wait if you're supposed to be from dimension where the Autobots are evil, how come your Getaway is actually nice?" And everyone sloooowly turns to regular Getaway Getaway: "Fuck."

Extra points if SG Getaway is very poorly pretending to be evil too, in contrast to baseline getaway pretending to be good well

[ijusthavesomanyblorbos]

Sorry for clogging your askbox. just keep getting ideas. So uh...SG!Getaway. I'd imagine he'd start out as a devoted, near fanatical Autobot and supporter of Optimus Prime, before becoming disillusioned with the war and the Autobot cause

don't apologize!!!!!! i love getting asks :D YES i love that take! maybe he could be a decepticon double agent still working under the autobots? that way you could keep his label as a "traitor" and obv it would be so fun to see his hatred of megatron reversed into respect.

OOOO and having him still be working under prowl would be SO. FUN. to write. an absolute battle of the brains. so high stakes, so high tension- where one tiny mistake means literal death. sg! prowl is the scariest boss ever guys.

Hwats this? A severe lacking of SG!Getaway content in the fandom? This looks like a job for....me! also shoutout to @ijusthavesomanyblorbos for some of the ideas here. 

[cuppajj]

Okay, I’m writing a thing with Sentient Lost Light bc I still have Sentient!LL brainrot.

It’s got me thinking - what kind of angry would LL actually be? Like genuinely ‘you can tell in all that they are’ angry, or it’s ‘impossible to tell without context’ angry. Since we know how LL has the patience of a saint, but I’m curious about when they hit their limit.

I personally feel like LL would be the type to have a silent fury. Like to the point they sound extremely neutral, almost scarily neutral. No emotion or opinion. Just pure neutrality, unable to be swayed.

But what about you? Do you think that’d fit with their character, kinda? Since we saw they got a little confrontational when they were angry with Getaway, but we’ve never seen any more than that. So I’m really curious.

Oooh, good question! I think LL isn’t too far off from what you said. They do have the capability to get mad, but it’ll show itself only as a harsh frown at worst. Their tone of voice doesn’t change drastically either, sounding less furious and more disappointed. They’re more likely to sound and look sad/hurt than mad, and such is the case with their confrontation with Getaway. The only time I can imagine them yelling with fury is if a big external force threatened to hurt them and their crew, like… I dunno, another titan or something XD that’s when it would be revealed that LL can also throw hands

SG!Lost Light is the one who can fall into a fit of extreme rage a little easier. Granted it still takes a lot to anger them, but when they are angry, they’re terrifying. This can be true for normal LL too, but when they’re enraged, the whole ship will rumble and their screams deafeningly reverberate through the walls. It’s what would happen if you tip SGLL over the edge; if you’ve left/threatened to leave them too many times, if you keep fighting, if you hurt them; god forbid, if Rodimus is beyond saving. SGLL’s rage is scary when it’s loud, but it’s even more terrifying when the rage goes from hot to cold. There are no longer any rumbles or roars. LL’s voice is low, nearly indistinguishable from their normal voice in all but their drawling. This is when it’s truly time to be afraid, because a Lost Light in cold rage is one who has already decided what your fate will be.

After committing some petty interstellar theft, Rush and Ba'al barely make their getaway, only to find themselves tracked down by an exceptionally annoying recurring enemy. - - - “Just be patient, you’ll be fine,” says Ba’al, ignoring the thirty seconds until landing flashing warning message. With exceptional strength, he shoves the ancient head-grabber device onto the transport platform, along with the chunk of ancient wall, covered in dust and grime. It occupies the entire space, with no room left inside the circle. Well, that fucking figures. 

Thinking quickly, Ba’al scoops Rush off the floor and takes a seat cross-legged on top of the ancient device, just barely fitting both of them inside the transport rings area. “Shame they don’t have insurance for these spaceships on Earth. It’s about to crash. Total loss, I fear. They’ll blame it on special effects gone wrong. Or maybe a movie marketing stunt?” He wonders out loud. 

[anon-e-miss]

Budding! That’s it. Breakaway makes sense to me, especially if he’s actually distinct from Getaway somehow. Or Stepper, Chromedome’s SG counterpart.

Maybe CD didn’t record a porno. Maybe there’s zero evidence ANYWHERE except that bitlet’s CNA. He can declare innocence to Rewind (assuming they never had any breaks and this happened while they were ‘happily in love’) and Prowl just has to look at his clever bitlet’s face and wonder WHY. HOW. Feeling like he’s going crazy.

And everyone can whisper about Prowl being a little snake who’s good at covering his tracks. He is the most thorough mech on the job, after all. It makes him a pain in the aft.

Oooh they might suggest that Prowl took elicit samples and inseminated himself? CD would play violated, horrified victim and Prowl would have no choice but to leave down. He’s ashamed of the bitty now but also attached to him so… takes bitty with him.

Two sad birds singing a song

Part 6 of the Spinoff set in the normal sentient Lost Light au ffrom @cuppajj is finished.

This time, it's just a bonding time between all the Phoenixes and Rodimuses.

Just as a small reminder, I'm calling sg/Rodimus in the spinoff 'Convoy'. (It's one of his aliases whenever he needed a name.)

.:():.:():.:():.:():.:():.:():.:():.:():.:():.:():.:():.:():.:():.:():.:():.

Phoenix was happily skipping down the halls, some paint buckets in his arms as he tried to figure out what to do with them. There was, of course, always the option of using them to prank Getaway. That self-absorbed mech who reminded Phoenix too much of Second Fiddle sure enough deserved another one. Especially after he tried to convince Snow to do something stupid.

Yea, maybe he will use some of the paints for a prank on Getaway, but most of it he’ll probably give to Snow. His counterpart seemed to also enjoy a few hobbies he also liked, painting being on top of it all. So, maybe the white and blue youngling would love to have some? But before Phoenix could truly make up his mind, Snow was already coming his way. Wings lowered, as he himself was looking like something was bothering him. Walking past Phoenix as if he didn’t see him, before stopping, muttered something very quietly, as if he was afraid someone could hear him, and continued walking after he looked around.

Now, that was something that caught Phoenix’s attention and he quickly stored his paints in his subspace, before following his counterpart. Being extra quiet as he followed him towards his and the other Rodimus’ ship. “Huh… weird…” Muttered Phoenix as he put both of his servos on his hips, while tilting his head. Snow is really a weird mech at times, but that still didn’t stop Phoenix from investigating, as he followed the other into the ship he himself could only describe as a ‘camper’. And in this ‘camper’, he found Snow sitting in front of a painting. One that reminded him of a painting he had in his own room. One he made himself and that depicted his family.

“You know… it’s weird…” Whispered Snow, as he placed a servo over the painting of someone who looks eerily like Lightlost, only darker, and Phoenix got the feeling that this might be his Lightlost’s evil counterpart. “They’re… nice… I… don’t know how to feel about it. It’s nice to have someone again who cares about you genuinely and who isn’t Roddy or anyone else who’s taking care of you. It’s… It’s like with Old Man again. It’s a warm feeling, a good one, a happy one but…” Snow let out a soft sigh, before looking over at Phoenix with teary optics. “There's still the shadow of ‘Their’ memory over me and I can’t… I can’t keep it from overshadowing everything. Sometimes, when I see Lightlost, I don’t see them. I see mine and… and…”

“And you feel sorry for not seeing them, but someone else whenever you look at them.” Finished Phoenix, as he sat down next to Snow. Wrapping an arm around his whimpering counterpart because he knew how he felt. Sometimes, it was hard for him to look at some of his new crew too. Especially Rodimus. Not because of him looking like a mech who hurt him, but rather because of the things he had to go through because of them sharing a resemblance. Things, he still didn’t feel comfortable talking about to anyone. At least with anyone from his new crew that is. Lightlost and Rodimus might know a few things, but Phoenix found out that it was easier talking with Snow about what happened with their past crew, because their experiences were almost the same. Of course, there were differences like Snow having Old Man as the only one who was kind to him, while Phoenix had Fools Shot, but Runningway and Second Fiddle being afts to them seemed to be a universal thing. And them being forced to change their paint to resemble Rodimus more whenever their crew were hunting Autobots also seems to be something the two had to go through. That and the feeling of abandonment when their crew left them behind in a dark place without even caring about what could happen to them, or the beatings for failing their missions, or the feeling of helplessness as they, yet again, tried to hide from their past crew, only to be dragged out of their hiding place, only to receive a ‘punishment’ for having a face they didn’t even want in the first place.

Primus, thinking about how they understood each other despite coming from different universes, caused Phoenix to let out a choked sob as he hugged Snow closer. Almost as if he wanted to protect his counterpart from all those painful memories, because he knew how painful they were. He knew what they can do to one's spark. Phoenix has felt it himself, after all. How the words and actions of his past crew, together with his own memories slowly broke him. Made him into someone who seeks out trouble, because everyone said that it was the only thing he was good at. Be a bother to everyone, because it kept everyone away as long as they didn’t need a punching bag. Something that carried over to his new life on the Lost Light, but only in the form of pranks.

And yet, despite their somewhat shared pain, Phoenix found himself jealous of Snow. Jealous, because Snow never got his dreams shattered. He still had the child-like innocence in his optics, while Phoenix wasn’t even sure if he still possessed it. His Rodimus said that it was still there, just very deeply hidden, but still. Phoenix was jealous of how Snow was able to still see the good in the world, while he always worried about the darkness lurking behind every corner. But he couldn’t hate Snow.

No, despite his jealousy, he couldn’t hate Snow. They had the same misfortune. The same pain, and it only made Phoenix more protective over his counterpart. Almost like a brother. Maybe that’s why they were here now. Crying in each other's arms, as they talked about their pain in the hopes of making it better, but it only made it worse.

That’s also how both of the primes found them. After having a lengthy discussion about some topics, and sg/Rodimus insisting on visiting Persecptor and Brainstorm in their workshop to see how far they were with returning them back to their universe, they have been stranded in this universe for more than two months already, both of the speedsters have noticed than none of their brothers have been seen anywhere and or bothered them for hours. By now, Phoenix would have usually set off a small prank that would get Rodimus out of his boring meeting while Snow would be seeking out Convoy for a hug and an escape from talking to the ‘undead crew’.

So, both of them decided to search for their little brothers, only to find them crying in Convoy’s and Snow’s little ship while hugging each other. And the sight alone caused both primes to jump into action. With Rodimus and Convoy trying to carefully separate them, only to find it to be an impossible task. Which left them no other choice to make a group hug, while they tried their best to soothe the upset younglings. With Convoy telling Snow that everything was okay, while Rodimus softly petted Phoenix’s head and held him tightly. And it seemed to help, because the two young sparks slowly let go of each other, only to cling to their respective brothers. Both seeking comfort in their own way,, with Snow burying his head in Convoy’s shoulder and crying, while Phoenix grabbed one of Rodimus’ servos and softly tugged at it before hugging it close to his chest, sobbing quietly. And that’s how they stayed for a while, until both younglings fell asleep from exhaustion. Or, at least it seemed like it.

“… I think this was the first time I have seen Phoenix cry like that.” Whispered Rodimus, as he adjusted the sleeping youngling in his arms while softly cradling his servo to his chest. “He doesn't like crying in front of others, not even me… Lightlost is the only one who sees him cry….” Whispered the prime, as he looked over at his doppelgäner. “Sometimes it makes me feel like I am failing him as a brother.”

Convoy could see in his counterpart's optics how much it was pulling at his spark that his brother didn’t want to see him cry. So, he let out a sigh, before shaking his head. “I think you’re forgetting that, apparently, our brothers seem to be more comfortable with mechs who have a certain… aura… even if it is fake in some cases.” Said the black and purple speedster, as he gazed down at his brother. Wiping away some of his tears, before hugging Snow tightly to his chest. “Unicron, I sound like Drift… But I think that’s the reason why your Phoenix isn’t crying in front of you. It’s either that, or he doesn’t want to bother you. You’re a captain and your whole crew is alive. You have a responsibility that I no longer have.” He sighed, before looking at the black and red youngling. Smiling softly. “Your brother probably doesn’t want to bother you, by putting more onto your shoulders. Even mine sometimes does it. You don’t know how long it took me to find out why he’s avoiding the medical exam after getting better…”

“Still… sometimes I think that I’m failing him. Especially after what happened with Overlord. I mean… look at him. He’s hurting, I can see it, but at the same time I can’t reach out to him. Everytime I try to, it’s as if he’s slowly drifting further away from me.” Rodimus sighed, before letting out a dry chuckle. “I’m sure that he hates me. I mean, I’m sure that things the past crew of your brother did, are the same his did to him. So… He must hate me, right?” The prime asked, but Convoy did not have an answer for him.

But the black and red youngling slowly opening his optics and reaching out to softly pat Rodimus’ cheek had one. And he said his answer with a smile as pure and innocent as that of a child’s. “I don’t hate you… Yes, my crew did bad things… and I was scared of you, but…. you wouldn’t be my brother if I hated you…” Muttered the youngling, before settling back down in Rodimus’ arms and snuggling closer to the primes body and the welcoming warmth it gave off.

And Rodimus could only glare over at his doppelgänger, as Convoy gave him a smug smirk that said ‘Told you so’, before sighing. “Yea, yea, I get it.” Was all he muttered, before the prime stood up with Phoenix in his arms. “We should better tug them in. There’s still work to do. And usually I don’t want to do it, but Ultra Magnus and Megatron will kick my aft if I don’t do it.”

“I know what you mean.” Said Convoy, as he stood up as well. Snow securely held in his arms, before both of the primes made their way out of the ship and towards their brothers rooms.

“Say, do you know about that one amusement park on that one planet with the neutrals?” Asked Convoy, after they tugged in their brothers and made their way towards the brig. “You mean the one with the roller coaster ‘Blitzflügel’? Yea, I do. Always wanted to visit that one, but never had the time.” Answered Rodimus, before he gave his doppelgänger a smirk. “Wait, don’t tell me we’re thinking the same thing right now, just because that planet is close and my crew and our brothers could need a small distraction.”

The darker prime only smirked back. Putting one servo on his hip, while doing a finger gun at Rodimus with the other. “Oh, we are totally thinking the same thing right now.”

“Field Trip!” Said the both of them at the same time.

And somewhere on the brig, Ultra Magnus and Megatron had a bad feeling without even knowing why.

Ahsoka thoughts

Overall, I've really enjoyed the series, but there are a few things that stick out to me. First off, several snarky comments people have made about characters have permanently embedded themselves in my brain:

Elon Thrawn, Super-Genius

Taylor Sith

Shin Hottie (thank you, Red)

And then there's the whole thing where Ezra dragged Elon Thrawn Super-Genius out to the ass-end of nowhere, managed to escape and elude him for years, then snuck back aboard the cruiser, hid undetected in plain side for however long, then up and STOLE a shuttle for his getaway...all under ET-SG's big blue nose.

It's Luz Noceda vs Belos all over again. :)
