Encounters (Shattered EarthSpark AU)

Long post ahead. Look at the #Shattered EarthSpark AU tag for previous entrees. A masterpost will be made in due time. I really should've added a Read More/Keep Reading to this series earlier, but oh well.

The sun finally disappeared beyond the horizon as two vehicles rolled into the train yard. The harvest gold and bright red SUV was in front, while the black and orange truck followed behind the other. They rolled up to one of the containers before transforming into their root modes.

"You sure this is the place, Roadbuster?" the black and orange mecha asked. Nervousness fizzled in his electromagnetic field, red optics staring at the other.

"I'm sure!" the harvest gold and green mecha replied before grabbing the container's door and opening it. The navy blue near black of energon stared back at them. "Bingo! See, Twintwist?" Roadbuster looked at the other with his bright red visor.

"Energon," Twintwist said, a happy tone filtering into his voice as the nervousness died away from his field. "That's amazing! I didn't expect that tip to lead to anything, but--"

Something landed harshly behind them, causing the duo to turn around, then immediately go into a defensive pose.

In front of them was a large mostly red mecha with dark blue highlights and a brilliant white visor. "Arms of Ruination: decepted," the mecha stated. From the kibble on them, their alt mode was a stealth aircraft of sorts, and their chest plate appeared to be able to shift and move out of the way of something.

"Soundwave?!" Twintwist squeaked.

"War: over. Peace and reform: offered," Soundwave stated as Roadbuster's plating rattled.

"Frag off!" Roadbuster roared, then bolted towards Soundwave. The former cassette master easily moved out of the way. Soundwave turned to face Roadbuster as he grabbed the ground to slow his momentum. Twintwist attempted to run, but froze up when a white and blue helicopter with two flight point flew down and transformed into its root mode, shining blue eyes looking towards Twintwist. The lower half of their face was covered by a face mask.

Roadbuster growled, whipping out a long, bladed scythe colored silver and black before he bolted towards Soundwave once more. He dodged out of the way again and took out a sound blaster. Soundwave pointed it at Roadbuster as slammed his scythe into one of the containers to quickly turn around. Roadbuster's optics widened before the gun activated and he was blasted back, scythe being throwing farther back compared to Roadbuster.

Twintwist bolted as the white and blue frame got on top of the fallen containers and took out a blaster, though a closer look at the device would show it was only meant for stunning and forcing into stasis, not for any serious harm. They aimed the blaster at Twintwist and fired. The bolt crashed into Twintwist and he collapsed onto the ground, electricity forcing them not to move.

Soundwave glanced towards the other as Roadbuster pushed himself up before a sudden screech caused all of them to look towards the source of the noise.

An odd scorpion-like drone slammed itself into the largest of the group, slapping itself onto their face and making them drop the stun blaster. They quickly grabbed it and threw it off as more of the drones appeared out from beyond the containers like a flood, rushing towards the Cybertronians.

"Ah scrap," Roadbuster commented as Soundwave turned towards the scorpions. Roadbuster turned, transformed, and promptly fled as Soundwave began blasting the approaching drones. The other managed to grab the blaster before of the drones did, quickly using it as a more blunt weapon to destroy the strange scorpions.

They failed to notice the large, somehow inconspicuous ant-like drone that approached the still stunned Twintwist. Its abdomen opened up to reveal an empty casing and wire-like tentacles coming out. The wires grabbed Twintwist and dragged him into the open abdomen before it closed up and the mechanical ant walked away, unnoticed by anyone.

By the time all the scorpion drones were destroyed, the duo finally noticed the disappearance of Twintwist and Roadbuster. The larger of the two was quiet before Soundwave put away his own blaster and came up to him. The former cassette master then promptly began to tap at the face mask, almost insistently as he stared into the others optics.

The mask finally slip back and Soundwave stopped, lowering his servo. "Better," Soundwave declared. "Megatron: has reason for deploying mask during the mission?"

The white and bright blue mech was quiet for a moment before he answered, "Forgive me. Things regarding the Autobots that haven't reformed are... becoming frustrating. We are still unable to find a good few of them."

"Soundwave: acknowledges," the stealth alt replied before going to one of the destroyed drones and picking it up.

"And you do know their names are Twintwist and Roadbuster, correct?"

"Whirl: only piece of Ruination that has Soundwave's respect."

Megatron hummed in response as Soundwave came back over with the drone. The Decepticon leader looked at the drone as Soundwave held it in view. "Is it Cybertronian?" Megatron asked.

"Negative. Composition: Earth-based. Energon: no sign. Faction signal: none," Soundwave responded.

"Odd," Megatron commented. "With how they were acting, I would've expected them to have some Cybertronian origins."

"Likely origins: AI machines gone rogue."

"I hope so."

An unbroken Scorpimech watched the duo walk away with Soundwave still holding its destroyed copy from where it hid.

[transingthoseformers]

Idea but when semi reformed!sg earthspark Optimus wants something he has a habit of sitting/standing semi close to someone and just looming instead of asking like a well adjusted adult.

"Optimus, is there something you want?"

"No"

"Are you sure?"

"..."

"Do you want a sip of my sweetened energon?"

"...yes."

Which Version Of Megatron Is The Supreme Hottest Husbando Mech Ever…?

my second weirdest poll that I ended up making on here…

and yeah this will be my second poll I made on tumblr.

March 11, 2024 is the day well really night(well the next day now, because I ran into a bit of a problem when getting this ready to post so technically this would be posted on March 12...well unless it is still March 11 on some parts even when this ends up being posted, I mean for all know it might still have the March 11 but I'm not sure.)…ended up being made.

and yes I was being really weird with this, this even includes the Hazformers AU of TFA Megatron, that is a Crossover AU between Transformers Animated, Hazbin Hotel and possibly Helluva Boss.

so this poll has two versions of TFA-Megatron, and one of them being from the Hazformers AU that is by Blitzy-Blitzwing.

this doesn't include all versions of Megatron from the different Canon and Fanon Timelines, only a few of them ended up being chosen for this poll.

so anyway, have fun picking which Megatron you think is "The Supreme Hottest Husbando Mech Ever"

the poll duration is 1 week, so there will be plenty of time for those who end up seeing this poll, to choose and vote.

don't know how many will end up seeing this and I'm not sure how many will vote in the poll for this, but I guess it's fine if it's not that many, but I still hope some see this and do pick one of the choices.

I'm weird and I think some of the polls I make will be weird, like the first one that had to do with Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel and Devil from Cuphead, that happen to do with "Adorkable Apple Goober"…

if TFA-Lugnut and TFA-Shockwave saw this poll, ya know depending on which versions of them see it, they will always pick TFA-Megatron.

but others will pick the other versions, don't know what some people who see this poll will end up picking, and the Megatron who doesn't get picked or possibly only getting a little votes will likely come in dead last, and whichever Megatron ends up winning will be the number 1, while other versions might come in second and third place.

anyway enjoy and hope those who see this, make a good choice on which Megatron they pick even if they might like all of them but may have to choose between them, anyway we will see which Megatron ends up winning in a week. so good luck to all alternate universe and timeline versions of Megatron. XD

hope some have fun with this poll, take your time in picking which Megatron you want to vote for and we will see in a week on which version of Megatron ends up winning. :)

🎀 RIBBON

𝐎𝐂 𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐉𝐈 𝐀𝐒𝐊𝐒!

🎀 RIBBON - how would they fit into worlds / au's? what au's would you like to try out? what fictional world would they fit / not fit into?

MAN YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW EXCITED I WAS TO ANSWER THIS. I've been enabled. I LOVE au's so much you don't understand it. So i have many au's/variants for cherr, both with canon stuff (show variants including TFP, TFA, Shattered glass, ect) and just basic au's (fantasy, mermaid, ect) so this will be a VERY long post hehhehehe This list doesn't include Cherr's main verse (IDW post war) or her live action verse since i don't know where I'm going with that yet, as well as show variants that i have finished watching but may be added later (including : G1, The unicron trilogy and the prime wars trilogy). I included Beast wars purely because while i might not have finished the series, i already have a pretty solid idea for this variant.

Put under a read more because this is a LONG post

CANON VERSES

ALIGNED

TFP : Same backstory as her main verse. Went on a personal mission to find Optimus prime and his team, eventually finding them after crash landing on earth after her ship got caught and damaged in an asteroid storm. Crash landed in France, and had time to fix up the majority of her ship before ruining into the team while they were on a mission. The teams permanent demolitions expert since wheeljack isn't the kind to stay. The guardian to two human children, Jennie and her babysitter Vera

Rescue bots academy : Would be included as a guest teacher occasionally. She drop's in to bother Joyride (My rescue bot oc), and to give lessons on general safety business (due to her.. experience with explosives), but most of the time she just likes visiting the kids, and teaching them about niche earth things.

Robots in disguise 2015 : Travel's between earth and cybertron, spending most of her time on earth despite the opportunity to go back "home". She travel's around, and ends up coming around to occasionally bother bee and his team once she got word that he was back on the planet. Jennie is 12 and vera is 20 and in college.

CYBERVERSE

While pretty similar to her other verses, cyberverse cherry holds on a bit more to what she was like before the war. A bit more cheeky and mischievous, and just slightly more bitchy and bright. She's as can be and still holds all her normal traits, but she's also just also slightly more willing to dance the line of danger.

WAR FOR CYBERTRON

Pretty similar in terms of everything compared to her main verse. Lore accurate storewide, Cherr stays behind with elita and her team to defend cybertron and dies during the process, but her Beast wars variant would be in this verse as well.

BEAST WARS

One of the pods that fell from the maximal ship, cherr ends up adopting the form of a Galah (pink and grey cockatoo) as her alt mode. She has no original name in this verse, or if she does, no one knows what it is, instead calling her "cherry". Quick and light on her feet, she the maximals eye i the sky along with airazor, and just a BIT of a pyromaniac. [This one's iffy, since i haven't actually finished the series. Im just really attached to bird cherry]

EARTHSPARK

Fun fact! Earthspark was originally her main verse before i switched it to tfp (and then switched that to her post war IDW verse). While the same as most of her other verses in term of personality, Cherr's role is what changes the most in this one. SURE, she's still a demolitions expert, but after having given a proper chance to explore earth after the war, Cherr took it. She travels around the world as basically a tourist, keeping an eye out for any bots making trouble. She knows something's up with G.H.O.S.T, and makes an effort the make things better for the trapped cons whenever she visits any of the detention centers, even if she's breaking the rules to do it. Extra rations, gossip, general company. At one point she got roped into one of the fighting rings in France and became its champion for a year or two before busting out. She's on a personally fueled vendetta to find and shut down any ring she can.

TFA

A singer high on the charts who's mysteriously gone missing. Early on in her life, cherry took rossana under her wing, and taught her everything she knew. She holds no preference for sides, a true neutral in this verse. However, something happed, and she fled the planet. She lives in hiding on earth, having stolen some tech and making herself a holoform projector, continuing her music career there. Constantly mistaken for an Autobot.

LOST LIGHT

Instead of staying on cybertron and finding work in the body guarding business, the moment rodimus sent out the invite to join the crew, cherr jumped at the chance. In this verse, she's practically the same as her main, since this is a bit of an "alternate timeline" thing, but she does have more chances to find cool spots to herself. She wander's around a lot, unless she's at swerve's or mirage's. [Haven't actually finished the MTMTE/LL comics, so things may change later on who knows]

SHATTERED GLASS

This is the verse where she's the most different in every sense. She starts out the same of course, minus her paintjob, which instead of pink white and blue, is dark grey purple and red. But over the years, especially during her music career, she gets twisted. A Yearning to be known, to be loved, adored. In this verse, many of the rumors about her in her normal verse ARE true. Yes, she purposefully killed her producer, and yes, her vocal mod is illegal. In this verse, instead of merely projecting her voice, her voice is able to lure in most bots that hear it like a siren, cue the alias (although, whether or not it'll affect a bot, changes on their amount of will, as well as a few other factors). She never left Cybertron in this verse, and thus has a modified version of her design during the contract. Siren in confident and a flirt and just a bit of a pyromaniac, but also cruel to those who earn her displeasure. Her collections are a bit more... morbid here. Your safe really, as long as she likes you enough

AU'S

DECEPTICON

Au where Cherr never got into the music industry, and thus, learning about the war earlier in this verse, joined the side of the cons. She's an under cover spy within the autobot ranks, due to her deceivingly sweet nature. An amazing liar, with many skill's acquired from the streets and unlost during her (non-existent) career, the femme is not one to be underestimated. Due to not having entered the contract, All of her mods are illegally acquired, and her name changed. Here she isnt cherrybomb, no. Here she's known as Incandescence, but most call her Des.

HUMAN/SPECIES SWAP

Cheryl Benoit. An orphan adopted and raised by her parents, Reyna and Richard. A good life to the beginning on her life, after having been offered a music contract a year of two after graduating, Cheryl, unaware of the consequences, accepted only to be roped into an abusive contract. After a fire burned down the main studio, the girl took her chance, and is currently on the run, travelling the world with some other worldly femme (Swap au Thalia, who's a transformer in this verse)

MERFOLK

In an au where cybertronians aren't really aliens at all, and instead an advanced species that live deep in the earth's oceans. I have three variants for this au in terms of designs. 1) the classic mermaid, with human upper halves. Simple and basic. 2) Where still human-ish, merfolk are more alien in nature. Extra limbs, unatural eyes and skin colors, antenna's and coming in variant sizes. (An offshoot of this is a mer versions of the classic cybertronian softbody art style). And finally 3) Where ocean living, cybertronians are still somewhat mechanical. In this au, cherr's story has many variants, but the current fav is one where she's captured by humans, and her voice is used at entertainment at a classy exotic restaurant.

FANTASY

Simple fantasy setting? Cherr is definitely a fairy of some kind. Delicate, but also with her own genre of danger. Able to change sizes due to magic. Pink little gal. Not much on this au in general yet other then the very basic concept.

FAIRYTALE

A story of a simple maiden girl, married into a lavish life against her wishes, who runs away to become a knight. Not much on this au in general yet other then the very basic concept.

CRYPTID

Montserous in nature at first glance, cherr is hard to spot. A creature of flames and embers, who's crackling voice is rumored to lure human's to dance around her form, to revel in an prison like happiness. She doesn't mean harm, just for friendship. Nevertheless, if you're ever to spot a mysterious flame like glow moving around the dark, paired with enchanting songs that seems to seep into your thoughts. Do not follow it. Cover your ears and hide. [She doesnt really trap those, but many of the friends she have gained are ones who have run away from home, or a bad situation and never seen again, and well. Rumors spread]

[th3e-m4ng0]

Any headcanons for Earthspark MegOp in a Shattered Glass AU?

mmmm idk.. fallen hero megatron turned complacent and brash chaotic oppy Join hands to Erradicate earth because it's fun and they can't go back to cybertron (someone lost the allspark and blew the space bridge) ?

[cyber-skeletons]

Okay so here are my silly doodles for Earthspark: Shattered Glass

Musings below the cut

I love Earthspark in large part because of its narrative against black/white thinking and the idea that defining "good vs. evil" is easy. And in canon Earthspark even the worst Decepticons are portrayed as just kinda sillygoofy????? So I don't imagine the Autobots would be tooooo bad. Especially with Optronix defecting to the Decepticons because he just. Got bored with torturing and slaughtering his way across the galaxy and was like "You know what would be hilarious. What would just be really fucking funny. If I swapped sides, LMAO."

Anyway I thought about drawing a parole anklet on Optronix up there but I figured instead they would install a remote detonation device inside his spark chamber a la Suicide Squad in exchange for allowing him to keep the Matrix of Leadership in his chest. Optronix came up with the idea. He said it was his Act of Profference to Megatron and Megatron is just like "?????"

Speaking of Megatron he has deep entrenched eye bags because Optronix is his conjunx partner and because his handler is Agent Jon Schloder, who inherits his canon timeline sister's genocidal hatred of Cybertronians in this AU. Also he's busy managing all of the Decepticons and being a diplomat to Earth. He's still besties with Dot though, who in this AU is a cop because she prioritizes duty and the law and her work ahead of her family.

Also Optronix is besties with Karen Croft because Karen was really into True Crime shows as a youth and thinks him being a repentant serial killer is cool as heck, she owns all of his merchandise.

Breakdown is the teacher of the Terrans in this AU and he carries a deep sadness within him because he yearns to help his best friend Bumblebee recover from millions of years of enslavement under Optronix but Bumblebee is off being insane in the wilderness or something. Breakdown looks for him in his freetime.

The Terrans themselves are relatively unchanged, though perhaps a touch more anarchic/chaotic.

And now I'm out of time andweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the cat is attacking the keyboard so let me know if I should keep musing???

[bean-pole-art]

Can you do more Soundrod please?

oh dear anon, I have so many SoundRod fics planned for the future! I am rn 3k into a fic I'll post on my bday 💖

and though it's my fave, not only in Cyberverse! I have plans for G1, TFA rewrite, Earthspark AU, maybe Shattered Glass,, SoundRod in love in each universe 💙❤

but for now catch this double drabble:

Sometimes, it seemed unbelievable.

Laying in their shared berth, sharing whispers and secrets underneath the starry skies, as Soundwave pressed his revealed derma all over his heated chassis. All while Hot Rod lost himself in the affections and stories he told him. No matter what the subject was, Soundwave eagerly awaited each new word of his.

Maybe several vorns ago, he wouldn’t believe to see Soundwave as such. Yet as the softness of his lover prevailed, Hot Rod’s vocalizer sighed satisfyingly. After all, if it wasn’t for himself, would Soundwave ever rise against the enemy and save Cybertron?

Deep down inside, Hot Rod knew he would. He always saw that buried kindness within him. All that was needed was the final push to make him understand. When Soundwave accepted it, the whole world sang with him.

There was something about knowing that he was not only the weakness but also the strength of one of the toughest mechs around. That not the whole Cybertron mattered as much as Hot Rod did to him. As the breem struck, Soundwave didn’t hide. He chose love. Then never backed away.

Right there and then, Hot Rod’s spark knew that Soundwave was the one.

[nova--spark]

I've been thinking about the Matrix Echoes AU and I just started watching Earthspark and rewatching RiD:2015 and I'm at the part with the Realm of the Primes and also the Emberstone Cave and it reminded me of how the new prime must have felt when he entered into the matrix.

Then I got this idea of what the inside looks like, similar to the Realm of Primes, it's an ethereal plane surrounded by a veil of stars and space, the center being divided into thirteen sections and each section having a depiction of the world that Prime is from.

And the new Prime, who's just entered into the matrix realm, walks around these thirteen sections, he observes that in each of these sections theres a small column in the middle which is designed to reflect the everyday environment of the prime whose section it belongs to.

For instance, The Archivist (TFP) would have its plinth in ruins, veins of running through its sides and shards of Unicron's lifeblood shattered and spread along the base.

Afterwards, I read the little ficlet that Letstry wrote and thought it'd be interesting if on top of the column, there would manifest the respective prime, in a manner that of how the terrans were formed.

This figure could be as stable and lifelike as the other bots the new prime has encountered such as the tinted blue faced, ambitious, young Prime which encourages the new prime to never lose hope, and to keep his eyes set on the future that he wants to achieve.

Or it could be amorphous and everchanging, never having one form and always in motion like the fearless beast leader that inspires the new prime, teaching him the value in being patience and that there are more ways to help than to throw himself mindlessly into battle or to seek an end to conflict that will lead in many casualties and losses.

HEY @lets-try-some-writing WE HAVE NEW MATRIX ECHOES INSPO--

but oh my GOD i love this and I'm sorry I haven't answered this for a g e s but I LOVE THIS SO MUCH????

And it is just so perfect

[bayheart]

the transformers: electric metal zine is out now!! download it for FREE here!!! <3

HI ALL!!! back after a hot minute with my work for @transformers-electric-metal!!! it's SUCH a cool zine (it's tf ocs!! hello!!!) and i'm so glad i got to participate!! i did art And a fic for this zine, both about my old lady Bramble here, tho they aren't necessarily connected :3 just the same gorl!!

check out the fic here if not in the zine itself!! >:]c (and u can see my buddy @woolydemon's epic spot art piece for the fic HERE!!!!!!!!!!)

anyhow, here we've got the full piece, an unshaded/glassless version (mostly to show off the rust rendering on catbot / show the center bramble without the glass!!), AND a bonus original concept version because. uh. i needed three images to make the post layout look better ok 😭

(special thanks to @dizzyst4rs for helping me so so much with the colors for the corner and top center bramble(s), as they hadn't been designed prior to this and he did bramble's og palette!! :D)

further ramblys contained under a cut thank u <3

SO!! versions of bramble to be specific, clockwise and then center: earthspark (root mode), TFA thorn (pre-experiment), earthspark again (alt mode), botbots, TFA (when she's just 'the catbot'), TFA decepticon au, TFA (alt mode), TFA shattered glass, college au lily, college au bramble, and then good ol' regular TFA bramb in the center! just for anyone curious about cont or anything <3

experimentation has given bramble a pretty shaky mental state, with a lot of struggle trying to figure out what parts of her are really her and whatnot. so i thought expounding upon that by Also including how many different forms of her there are across the TF universe would be fun!! and an excuse to draw all of the TF brambles at once >:3

and also. i swear to god the lights were blue yellow and pink the whole time i worked on this. my horror after hours of shading to realize that my pinks had become purples....... unspeakable.

i have never put this much rendering juice into a piece before ever in my life. please enjoy Pretty Colors and how i painstakingly blended the shading layers together with just a pencil brush at low opacity like a clown

What Are They? (Shattered EarthSpark AU)

Previous post here. Somewhat direct continuation of the first post, unlike the second post. I'm tracking what episodes I've written for and the order of which they're written, so in time I'll have a master post with everything in order. For now, you're dealing with me just linking to previous. Long post ahead.

"How... strange," Megatron said in a rumbling tone. His frame was it's usual flight frame, though one he taken when teaming with GHOST (a shortened version of their full name, Global Hazard and Organized Security Taskforce), along with being white and blue. His bright blue optics looked over the two strange mecha Dr Meridian had returned with. The smaller being, more femme in stature but that didn't say much, stared at him and Optimus with a bloodlust in its optics as it slowly approached them. The taller of the two was much more quiet and shy, preferring to stay near Atlas Meridian.

"Hello, little ones," Optimus chirped, tone in an unnatural sweet tone. The former Autobot was still a large truck, black and purple in color with dark red optics, a near maroon color. The smaller looked directly towards Optimus, their optics meeting. "I am Optimus."

The smaller one's optics went wide with clear adoration as they replied, "We are Twitch."

"And I," Megatron began, stealing Twitch's attention from Optimus, "am Megatron, leader of the Decepticons."

The other young mecha didn't say a word, causing Dr Meridian to say, "This is Thrash." Thrash flinched at that, giving a small wave before they stepped away a bit. Atlas seemed to have noticed, as he added, "He's... not that comfortable around others."

Megatron nodded as Optimus, back to his more bland tone, stated, "Oh joy, already taking the world so harshly." He gave the black and purple bot a somewhat strong nudge, though Optimus just responded with a bored glance.

"Dr Meridian, what are these two?" Megatron asked.

Twitch's attention went back to Optimus as Atlas answered, "I am not too sure myself. GHOST detected a faint Cybertronian signal and when I went to see what it was, I found this strange stone. When I touched it, these two appeared and the cave the stone was in gained some damage."

Optimus's helm moved, raising a bit and optics glinting. "By chance, is the stone you speak of dark teal with speckles of a brighter teal?"

Meridian seemed unsure for a moment before he answered, "I wouldn't say it was dark teal, more of an ocean color, but it did have teal specks on it."

Optimus's finials flicked up as Megatron suddenly realized what the other was implying. "The Emberstone?" Megatron blinked.

"That is my thought process as well," Optimus said, glancing towards Megatron. He looked back at Atlas and asked, "Did anything else happen when the stone was activated, assuming it is the Emberstone? A voice, most likely."

Atlas gave them a weird look as Twitch continued to stare up at Optimus and Thrash shuffled back a bit. "No, just the cave damage when these two appeared. Two of the stalactites broke," he replied.

Optimus's finials did an odd motion as Megatron blinked. "Most likely not the Emberstone, then..." Megatron muttered.

"Well, no slagging clue then," Optimus deadpanned, causing Megatron to glare at him. "Unless it's some AllSpark scrap, no fragging idea."

"Language," Megatron chastised, then immediately recognized something the former Autobot said and looked away.

Optimus shrugged in reply, then his finials flickered when he saw Megatron's reaction. "We're here on Earth anyways. I was wondering when sparklings or sparkling-look-a-likes would begin to pop up," Optimus stated. "I expected Starscream and Jetfire to be first. They're not very good at hiding when they're--"

"NO!" Megatron interrupted, slammed a servo over Optimus's mouth. Optimus just stared at him with a bored look. Megatron stated, "They do not need to know."

Optimus raised a ridge as Megatron backed away. "Eventually," the black and purple truck blandly said.

Megatron's frame relaxed slightly as he looked towards Atlas and Thrash. Optimus looked down at Twitch as the white and blue mech said, "Forgive Optimus. He refuses to censor himself around... anyone, really."

"It is fine," Dr Meridian replied as Optimus knelt down to better be at Twitch's level. "It was best to report directly to you two before seeing what connection was created between my robotic arm and Twitch and Thrash."

Megatron nodded as Optimus made a noncommittal hum, adding, "They look around the age Bumblebee was when he gained his alt mode." Megatron glared at Optimus, but the former Autobot appeared to ignore him.

Megatron looked back at Atlas and said, "Once you and your team are finished, can you send Twitch and Thrash to the docking bay?"

"Of course," Atlas replied as Optimus stood back up. Twitch lifted a servo towards him, causing him to grin.

"You'll see me again, little one. Rejoin Dr Meridian," Optimus said. Twitch's young field flared in disappointment Optimus's field just began pushing against the young mecha's own, releasing a bit of reassurance into his field. Twitch lowered her servo, stared for a moment, then walked back to Atlas and Thrash. Thrash kept his distance from his sibling, field bubbling with nervousness.

"We'll see you again in due time," Megatron said before Atlas began to walk away. Thrash immediately followed, though Twitch lagged behind slightly to stare at Optimus before finally following.

Once they left, Optimus said, "I'll be there early, once I check in one Jetfire." He didn't wait for a reply, immediately walking out of the room.

Megatron stared for a moment, then his frame relaxed immensely and he turned towards a nearby table where a machine sat, looking like a purple box with many seems and loose plating. "RAPTR Unit 3, contact Executive Agent Croft," he said.

The machine reacted. It transformed from its small, compact box form into a raptor-like body shape that was roughly twice the size of an average human teenager. RAPTR's plating was mostly purple and bits of white and slate making up the rest of the plate color. Yellow biolights were on the droid, with its snout and face being replaced with a screen and camera. (RAPTR, being short for Recall Adviser and Pair Task Reporter.)

RAPTR's screen lit up, showing a loading screen. After a few moments, the familiar face of Agent Croft appeared on the screen. All he could see on the screen was her familiar silver hair, fair skin, green eyes, and part of her uniform.

Once it was clear it was connected, Croft asked, "What was found at the signal?"

"If what Dr Meridian said and our assumptions are correct, a stone of Earthen origins that is able to create Cybertronian-like life," Megatron replied. "It has created two of them so far, both relatively are at the tail end of their sparkling phase and soon to roll over into their youngling phase."

"Interesting..." Croft muttered. "That is something to be explored at a later point." She raised her voice. "Thank you for informing me. I'll make sure there's a team with an eye on it. Is there someone able to watch over these new... younglings?"

Megatron thought for a moment.

[transingthoseformers]

Shockwave: are you sure GHOST can be trusted?

Megatron: ... I am not, but peace is more important than a hunch. The humans are our allies, and I would do anything to assure that.

Shockwave: I trust you, Megatron. (But, I feel like sometimes you see the good in the wrong people, even if you get burned again and again)

[bio1]

Here a "what if" au I had for transformers Earthspark.

Warning this spoilers for the seasons finale of the show.

So what if during the finale after mandroid offline all the transformers except for twitch, during when the kids are trying to revive them all. Mandroid (still barely alive) realizes that all his work soon would be for nothing, attacks and shatters the Emberstone. Sending shards of it all over the world.

All the normal transformers come back fine. But the terrans were not healed fully. He may not have ended the transformers but he crippled there races only hope. Before mandroid could enjoy the moment, twitch kills him for good.

Twitch wasn't heal at all but has nothing else happening to them. Jawbreaker is in a state of constant vertigo. Nightshade and hashtag seems fine at first but nightshade gets a disease that slowly destroying them from the inside out and tries to hide it from everyone so they don't worry about them. Hashtag insides start shutting up and is put on life support, basically turning her into a living computer.

Thrash is left in a permanent coma. Twitch believe that her fault that this happened to them. Now it's up to her to find all the shards of the Emberstone to save their family.

Fanfics Masterpost

Transformers Cyberverse Fanfics Ideas:

Soundwave survives the end of the show (even if only to not leave Shadow Striker alone to command Decepticons, come on we've got Hot Rod, Bumblebee and Windblade at the very least to replace Optimus but Shadow Striker has to deal with everything alone? Nah.): Hand Over The Relationship, Offish Decepticon! I'm this close to finishing the last chapter. There's an update on the 1st every month meanwhile to give me time to close that last chapter.

"Wherever Bumblebee goes on Cybertron, Cheetor, be with him." If Cyberverse doesn't give me Cheetor remembrance, then I will.

Bumblebee & Windblade friendship post-war (with sprinkles of Windblade's cityspeaker ability and her time in the Matrix of Leadership of the Other One). Maybe even Cheetor communicating with them from Primus' AllSpark.

Optimus' nightmare after using the Matrix against Starscream is a bit more than just a nightmare. Set with the idea of Optimus being (a reincarnation of) the Thirteenth, therefor a sibling of the Thirteen First Primes: Standing Among The Blue

Transformers EarthSpark Fanfics Ideas:

Brave Educational Experience: or when the Terrans shatter Bumblebee's worldview through a single question.

Shockwave & Wheeljack relationship, but still with their dynamic from in Cyberverse (dancing robots, Shockwave's invention liking Wheeljack (s2 ep10, Secret Science)). Also Wheeljack calls Shockwave out on his racism towards the Terrans/Twitch his daughter.

The ones I probably won't write:

Decepticons meeting up with Autobots at the border after defeating the Quintessons (too vague).

AU fix-it in which Starscream gets better (I just don't know his character enough).

The ones I said I wouldn't write but did in a way or another:

I've read a fic headcanoning Soundwave as a cityspeaker too, which I find interesting but don't think I'll write about it <- Hand Over The Relationship Offish Decepticon! (chapter 5 especially)

--------------------------------------------------

Other stuff I've written unrelated to Transformers medias: ⬇️

And The Sun Snuffed Itself Out So Icare Could Keep Flying: "In this world, Hawks doesn't lose his wings." MHA, canon-compliant up to the moment Hawks loses his alter to AFO. I've always felt like Endeavor/the Todoroki family owned him one after what Dabi does to him (also why the hell are people shipping Dabi and Hawks together wtf) and that with Endeavor's whole "redemption" thing he would at least try to protect Hawks more?? Maybe it's just me. Might get a sequel or follow up if I can work my mind around some plot.

Triangle Is The Strongest Shape: Monastario/Zorro/Lolita trouple. I know, I've got you, you'll have at least one fic with the three of them (it's silly tho). I honestly don't know how Monastorio's name is canonically spelled.

Oh Little Angel's Family: the one I keep forgetting. Supernatural, it's about family feels among the angels (especially the archangels and Castiel) and isn't canon-compliant in the slightest. I think it diverges from canon at s4, but honestly I don't care about that one enough to search back my notes about it. It has an attempt to plot in it, it has. Anyway it's written in french and Michael is called Michel in it.

Not home: an Outer Worlds game character-study(ish) fic about the Captain being an outsider. Do not be fooled by the english title, it's written in french.

Star Wars. I've written many a fic of Star Wars stuff starring the Codywan ship, some in french that haven't been translated since I switched to full english. I've still got unfinished drafts of more fics including them which will probably never be finished because I can't be bothered, and I don't post unfinished drafts (there's one exception to this and I won't elaborate on it).

Ideas of fics that haven't been written (yet):

A Baroness fic. From The Cat Returns Ghibli movie. In which she either gets reunited with Baron or has Toto and other birds travel letters between them.

A Saint Seiya The Lost Canvas time-travel fix-it fic centering on Shion, in which Zeus is actually responsible for the Holy War and the Aries cloth has time powers because of Chronos. Featuring being hunted as a traitor by his fellow Golds, soul wound, and Lady Persephone.

A Kuraerti fic (you know. the one yall keep calling Clerifa like it's a fucking Pokémon.) post-canon, a timeline what timeline, everyobody lives, setting: Gold Saucer. Featuring an Oblivious!Cloud, background Reno/Rude, Zack being around, Rufus and his dog learning to be a Good PersonTM under mentorship from Dio, the most adults members of the group acting like parents and a frustrated Barret.

A Brooklyn Nine-Nine fic in which Kevin's family is actually from the mafia. His parents don't talk to him anymore because he married a cop and the whole Seamus situation gets worse because that's a mafia family kidnapping somedoby from another mafia family. It is unclear if Holt is aware or not.

[starry-blue-echoes]

Seeing that we're both Transformers fans, I just want you to know that Shattered Glass!Dio has the same energy to me as Earthspark Megatron. (Also, this AU has been marinating in my brain like a steak for the past few days. Thank you for this glorious creation.)

- Bread

holy shit you're right wait a fucking minute-

oh my g o d THAT'S LITERALLY HIM! BREAD YOU'VE GOT A GALAXY BRAIN

BCD!Dio 🤝 Earthspark Megatron

I have done horrible things, things that I don't think can ever be fully forgiven for. I have made mistakes, I have hurt people, all in the name of revenge against the people and the world that has hurt me. And yet, despite all that, you look at me like I can do no wrong, like I am good and kind. Why do you care about me? Why do you trust me? Why do you love me? That I do not know, and perhaps in another world, another lifetime, I would have been the monster in the back of your closet that you feared most, but for some reason I am not. You trust me completely and unequivocally, and even though I could do you so much harm you do not fear me, and in return I will do whatever I can to keep you safe

Greetings, I come in peace. So...I saw your tag about a TFE plot rewrite on a rb and. I'm very intrigued. Please kindly elaborate 🙏🙏🙏 (Forgive me if I'm too nosy! Feel free to ignore this ask. ⁄⁠(⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠•⁠⁄⁠-⁠⁄⁠•⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠)⁠⁄

Oh it is a PLEASURE to talk about it!!!

Ramble under cut because it's going to be long

When I was in college I had a class on cinema and my brain decided it'd be my new hyperfixation. Now that'd be fun and dandy except I got a little too into it and all I can see is patterns, archetypes & trope.

Like there is maybe 10 movies/TV shows that I didn't see the plot twist coming from a mile away. My stupid brain pick up on the most minuscule details and unravel the whole plot in a second. Which sucks sometimes.

Enters TFES.

It's great but there's a few sentences/frames that drive me insane.

When they throw the Cons in jail after episode 1, the rest of the Decepticons must know about Mandroid, they'e so close in there and in later episode it's shown they can chit-chat easily

Megatron is nice now and that's it?!?!?? He hunts & imprisons Decepticons and he's free and it's fine?!?!? AND HE STILL WEARS THE DEECPTICON BRAND?!?!?!

Speaking of cells, I knew G.H.O.S.T. was iffy the *Second* they showed the empty cells. THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE NOT EVEN A BENCH OR SOMETHING WTF?!?!

Bee casually mentioning that Rumble exploded because Soundwave was low on energon.

Swindle saying they should wait for the 'plan' instead of breaking out after Hashtag Oops

Bumblebee carrying restraining bolts

Karen torturing the 'Con, how long did that go on for?!?! How come they never spoke up about the torture??!

On the same subject, Tarentulas mentions a gun that erase memories and then we never hear about it again

There's more but I have more things to say so moving on

*inhale* THEN!!! Then there's the deleted scene (The confrontation between Megatron & Shockwave + Soundwave & Starscream freeing Shockwave) THEN!!! Then there's the mentions in the official guide that were never explored/explained

SO

I said fuck it and wrote down all the things that bothered me, asked my pal @shotimus what other things she thought were weird/missing/not explained [Shots is the TF expert, I'm still a noob] and I threw that all together in a blender. Took my favourite parts of multiple continuity (IDW, Aligned/Prime, Shatter Glass, G1 & Earthspark) and made a 6k OUTLINE of the fic I wanted to write.

The one (1) thing I was doubting the most about the plot of the fic, is Starscream is older than Megs & OP in my AU. I saw a comment on Reddit once that blew my mind (goes like this: If we’re sticking pretty closely to G1-esque Starscream, it would be pretty easy to show some more of his motivations for being so conniving. 

Just show some glimpses of the life he imagines he should have and why he is so convinced he should have it, and there could be many specific ways to go about that. All you’d have to do is show why he’s like this—you wouldn’t have to get the audience to think he’s in the right or being reasonable, and it would be interesting.) Took that and ran with it. This post reassured me I wasn't too insane for making SS older

SO

So he's a golden child that got more and more bitter as the war went on and he was more and more abused. Because I have to torture my fav blorbo.

AND THEN S2 CAME OUT

It was so bad.... I have MORE THINGS TO REWRITE. Like Soundwave ripping the 'Con badge off Megatron. There's another thing I wanna talk about it's a surprise so I'll refrain.

And that's where I'm at OTZ

The fic in question is actually a whole ass series because I'm possessed with a demon and I must rewrite the whole show?!?!?
