#stayed for soundwave

[zorangezest]

i read shattered glass recently

i have a favourite character

[crispy-art-on-fire]

SHOCKJAZZ FANCHILD BECAUSE I GOT THE IDEA AND WHEN I GET IDEAS I JUST CANNOT HELP MYSELF. This is not canon to the adoption au this is me having fun. Basically Dubstep is born far-far into the future as Shockwave gets empty nest syndrome again and ropes Jazz into it because Reasons. Her special ability is vibration detection which helps her notice movement and her special interest is bugs.

She's the beloved spoiled baby sister of the siblings but also even as a big brother of two Bumblebee is still the shortest by far.

Shockwave gets his chest modified to hold cassettes as gift for soundwave. So soundwave can feel safe about entrusting his casseticons to him if needed.

Soundwave takes this upgrade as an excuse to make more cassettes. So now shockwave is carrying cassettes in a very different way ;)

I would kill to see what the Shockwave born cassettes are like

Divergent au

Yeah..so I made a new au so here we go-

Part 2!

this one I don't think I'll make a fic out of, mainly because I'm already trying to get back to my shadowpeach one (I have NOT forgotten, uni is just a bitch and for some reason I'm procrastinating too much which is scaring me but I can't stop it it's awful-)

So, this was something @/angstychilz and I discussed one day in our megop server and it was basically "what if Megatron and a few other decepticons got captured by the Quintessons while they were on the surface?"

And of course I'm in a chokehold so now you're forced to deal with this horrifying au I twisted with my knowledge of sci-fi / doctor horror.

**TW!! I might get a bit graphic with some details so please tread carefully! I don't want to scare any of you with what I have for this au, it is disturbing in some areas**

So, to start, I've considered that for now, Megatron, Soundwave, and Blitzwing would all be taken by the quintessons to be experimented on, mainly to help the quintessons understand their anatomy and to use it to their advantage in order to help conquer Cybertron (suggestions for other bots to be taken and experimented on is welcome!)

Of course, it is considered that they are different species, and in a way I believe that the quints would see cybtronian's as lesser beings (especially seeing how they managed to persuade sentinel easily with the idea of having more power in return for killing the primes and providing them with energon). This would play a big part during their experimentations, especially with Megatron because he carries a Prime's cog, that too Megatronus's, who was definitely one of their biggest enemies.

Megs and the others are kept with other mechs, some dead some alive, and they all go through terrible transformations (I'm still deciding how to ruin blitz, especially with his split personality).

I'll just summarize how Soundwave's transformation becomes bc it's really easy- he just goes from tfone sound to tfp sound (angsty's idea), since he has moveable cables similar to the quint's tentacles. He is still in control of his body and mind, and even holds conversations with Megatron to give him some sense of normality between them, but will black out whenever the quints need him to go scout on cybertron to avoid autobot patrols and seek out new victims.

Megatron's treatment I have more detail on (and why wouldn't I, he's my comfort character I need to detail his agony-). There is no anesthesia, Megatron is staying awake as they tear through his chassis and tear out the cog, forcing him to go back to his cogless form. I will also add that before he was taken, he also lost his right arm in the fight before capture, so he's dealing with two types of pain.

Through that the quints learn that mech body's can shift, so while Megs is sent to recover with the other bots they grab some poor mech and experiment with their cog, and they take their time just experimenting on how to make a cog of their own. This also includes them doing several types of dissections on a lot of mechs, pulling and twisting wires, tearing apart limbs and then forcing them to reconnect after forcing the mechs to transform. Keep in mind none of them are under anesthesia, so it's like an old victorian surgery, you're awake and watching a bunch of aliens piercing through you, dismembering you and forcing you to stay still as they go through your systems and organ parts, and even through your spark (guess how you think they learned that was what kept them alive).

Through all that, once they get some form of a twisted, functional cog that mimics an original one, they immediately do everything they did to those mechs to megatron.

By then, he's no longer filled with rage, but fear. Indescribable fear of whether or not he'd survive this. He was a miner once, and while he had his moments he was always assured by Orion he'd be fine and he'd be safe. Orion's not here anymore, and most of the time Sound isn't either, so he's stuck spiraling in fear.

Obviously he's more resistant against them, but he can't fight them anymore. At the same, his helm is forced open, leaving his core processor open for them to dig in and used what memories he has to twist him into a more submissive mech, especially his momentary regret that he got when he shot Orion, and later after dropping him to die. He's forced to endure several procedures, most that left him bleeding out or vomiting blood to the point of exhaustion, and waking up in a tank only to be pulled and put through it again. And again. And again. And again.

Until- they get it right. Now, he looks like a normal mech, similar frame and shape, but with changes. His frame color no longer is a silver/grey hue, it's green with how often he's kept in the dirty cells or in the tanks. His arm got replaced, but with a quintesson-like arm. His voicebox is damaged from the constant tests, so he speaks very little before his voice gets glitchy and incomprehensible.

His body, while accepts the cog and gives him a new alt (flier), will still reject it after a long period of time (consider it between every 8-10 orbital cycles/months), which causes internal bleeding and erratic movement from his body, often times leaving him disfigured and in agony when it occurs. This can range from his body trying to transform mid-form into his alt, to whole on twisting his limbs, or both.

I'll open my inbox for you guys again for this au, I'll do a part 2 for orion's part. But yeah, here's my twisted horror au that I keep a latch on. hahaha-

Bonus art!

Help I am so interested in your tf one Starscream/B being swapped au

How did that even happen?like did Bee immediately just ran after Megatron after he left?why did Elita and Op even let him go? And how did the High Guard not notice Starscream wasn't with them?

Hi anon, I haven't really thought too much on this AU left, after exams trust! But I did think of this specific part very early on. I initially made this AU for comedic purposes now I actually have a solid plot for it too.

But basically I just thought Optimus wouldn't really say anything to object if Bee wanted that for himself, they're all grown ups they can make their own decisions but is he still upset about it? Of course, very much it's still painful even if they didn't really know eachother that well, but he respects Bee's decision. Elita thinks this is a bad idea and it will blow up in their faces (she's right),but really she's in the same boat as Optimus except she just tells B to just come back if anything isn't working out, B just brushes her off and skips off after the High Guard. He trails them for hours them unprivy to his presence cue it being night and trying to navigate their way to a new base after Airachnid destroyed their last one. One of them hears something in the bushes they think it's something dangerous that lurks on the surface and to their shock it's just B. Megatron is surprised and grateful to say the least. Skywarp not so much.

As for the High Guard, they kind of assumed Starscream was with them, Soundwave probably knew he wasn't but like assumed he'd eventually come back because Starscream does this a lot when he's feeling delusionally convinced of something and thought Starscream was just taking a break to brood after everything that happened and would be back in a few hours so he just assumed after a while he'd come back when he realized this wasn't working, Soundwave severely underestimated the latter's sheer stubbornness though. The truth is you really can't hide anything from Soundwave he knew Bee was trailing them too he just didn't say anything because again, he's been under the most stress trying to keep everyone from going insane or killing themselves for the past 50 cycles he really just wants a break and thinks it's amusing for the meantime. Up until it isn't.

Bee hiding in the bushes like a monster interacting with the weird local wildlife before scaring the living daylights out of the war veterans, and the other one engaging in corpse desecration and jumpscaring the new Prime and his Commandor who watched a body fall into the Well. A fun way to start an AU, I like to think Bee completely noticed Starscream still there while he left he even waved(the gesture was not returned) and later casually brought it up when he met up with Megatron and the HG,only then did they actually realize.

more of this shattered glass au!

here’s the high guard! elita, bee & orion together overpower D pretty easily and start frolicking through the city laying waste to everything, so they side with D to help him make a stand against his ex-gang and….they have a big fight or something??? i dont know!! but it’s cool to draw!!

Orion, bee, and elita still ultimately end up killing alpha trion through the power of friendship, but thats a comic for another time!!

(4/?)

The next day, the Terrans are with Bumblebee while Tfe goes to the meeting with the Autobot High Command (It was quite a shock when the seeker basically dumped the kids with the yellow scout then left). They're the center of attention, everyone is friendly overall and very interested in the first sparklings they've seen in ages. But the Terrans were getting uncomfortable, luckily Bumblebee steered them away to somewhere else more quiet.

They get to watch soap operas with the Autobots and play old videos, they have a great time. The Terrans talk about technology in their time, and what they usually do back home for fun. Hashtag mentioned Bumblebee being much taller in the future, so the scout asks more about his relationship with them. The kids think back to what Tfe Starscream told them, as long as it's not about the Emberstone it should be fine right? (completely forgetting the future part)

So they gave some vague stories about Tfe Bumblebee being their mentor, teaching them. And some more stories about their siblings. Everyone is invested. Then someone asked about their "sire". The trio quieted down, sharing glances. This makes the bots suspicious.

"What's wrong? Do your parents have strange rules about talking to strangers? You can tell us"

"No not that, our parents love us. It's just that Starscream doesn't like them much. But we're working on it!" (What does that even mean)

"There's this human organization called GHOST, that worked with the Autobots to catch and imprison Decepticons to "protect" Earth. But they were actually experimenting on their prisoners. Starscream, still won't tell us what happened just that it was Shockwave's level of bad?" (What)

"The humans were involved with our birth actually. Starscream didn't really want us at first but Hashtag managed to get through him so here we are! Now most of the time he is down in Nightshade's lab doing nerd stuff with them and Dad 2" (The Autobots are starting to get not very good feelings about how this story is going. Also who is Dad 2???)

The conversation stops when the Terrans see Tfe Starscream arriving, the kids circle him telling him about their day and all of these things the Autobots show them. The seeker goes along with their stories, ooh and aah while steering them to a table and dug around in his subspace to give them some snacks (barely bothered by the loud cheers or the fact that Hashtag is like a limpet attached to his leg). He spared a glance at the frozen Autobots who were giving him strange looks. Tfe Starscream is pulled back to the kids when the kids continue to talk about the soap operas they are watching.

The Autobots who were listening (eavesdropping) to the conversation - plus Ravage who was in the vent - are now horrified by the implications of how the sparklings came to be and Tfe Starscream's situation.

Prev/Next

[dragqueenstarscream]

In your tf college au, you state that Soundwave has dirt on anyone, so if you don't mind me asking, what is the dirt and how did he figure it out?

-💌 anon

you know how knock out said to never mess with the quiet ones? soundwave lives up to that in spades. it's amazing what observation, silence, and alcohol can do to get the information flowing. it certainly helps that he knows his way around tech and can figure out the shit people post on their private social media accounts.

some people don't have any dirt to exploit, like optimus. really, his only "dirt" was his short lived but amicably ended relationship with megatron, and they're still friends, so that's not too bad. some people are too open about their fuckups to be blackmailed. bulkhead is pretty honest about embarrassing shit he's done and goes along with it. and some people are too innocent. smokescreen, for example, is a freshman and hasn't had the time to do something stupid.

but the others... some of them have some VERY juicy intel soundwave can use to his advantage.

ratchet - everyone in his classes thinks he's a prude with a stick up his ass. behind the scenes, however, he's a RAGING party animal who once accidentally started a fire in one of the dorms during one of his parties. he's also uptight when he's sober, but when he's hammered, he'll hook up with any guy in a ten mile radius.

bumblebee - once got arrested for assault after getting into a huge fight with one of his gaming club members, which ended in him breaking the guy's nose. the fight was bumblebee trying to stick up for one of the younger girls in the club when the other guy was being a creep, but that's not how the cops saw it. the charges were eventually dropped, but bee isn't proud of letting his anger get the best of him.

arcee/cliffjumper - she's the one on top in her relationship with cliffjumper. that wouldn't be much of an issue if she wasn't so tight lipped and private about her sex life. cliffjumper sure as hell isn't, though, especially when he's sloshed and bragging about how his girlfriend knows her way with a strap on. (he doesn't get why she's so private about it. he thinks it's hot.)

megatron - he secretly still hasn't gotten over his relationship with optimus. on the surface he's still friendly with him, but he's been caught crying over their relationship, ironically, by soundwave.

starscream - not exactly true info, but there's a rumor spreading around campus that starscream only got accepted to the university because his parents paid his way in by bribing the dean. is it true? no. but starscream can't prove it without looking like he's covering for something.

knock out/breakdown - once got caught fucking beneath the bleachers at a basketball game by shockwave. not their finest moment, and shockwave won't let them live it down.

airachnid - once got sloppy drunk and tried to make out with arcee at a frat party. she promptly got her shit rocked for it by arcee because she might be bi, but she's taken. (cliffjumper got the whole thing on video.) it only fueled airachnid's hatred for her.

i loooove garrus. funky little cat bug turtle guy. cat faced mandible'd carapace having funky dude. hes so babygirl

[transingthoseformers]

So when tfp Megatron turned his red secondaries to purple did he have to repaint his array too

[kaontic]

Sir, we have some questions for you, but first—

(I’m so sorry, you two—)

YAS BITCH RAINBOW WIRES SLAAAAAAAY— 💅

NO NOT LIKE THAT—! (　〇□〇)

*Facepalms* Okay.

(It’s time for more thoughts that are all over the place)

So you were just, sittin' on your aft in a cave, in presumably, the American Southwest (are those saguaros? Interesante… 😶🌵), with exposed wires that I just realized share the same colors as the Well of Sparks—

When you broke outta CC’s crib, in the North???

Now it’s just funny thinkin’ about how Megs made his way down there without, ya know, 6 star wanted level antics.

I mean, there’s def gotta be more to this, even if Megs really was just “wandering” around lol.

(Hehe, robots in disguise~🎶😉)

Like think of how embarrassing that must be for Cobra(-La), if they couldn’t locate + recapture a giant blind robot.

Unless…this is what CC actually wants, so that when Megs finally reunites with everyone else, Cobra will make their move.

Gotta catch ‘em all, I suppose. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Still doesn’t explain how the actual frag Laserbeak seemingly found him so goddamn fast (unless there was a timeskip), so—

Soundwave, you’ve got some explainin’ to do too boo. 😗

Yeah, especially to Thundercracker. 😑

(Side note: he looked extra despondent these past two issues. Prob cuz of him losin’ Shockwave, but also it’s like findin’ Megs was the last thing he wanted to do lmao

Well, that’s what happens when you can’t find your backbone

*Lower voice* Furthermore, you’re one to call others “brutes” when you send out these cassettes you call “family” to do your dirty work

Just somethin’ to think about in the flood of shame you find yourself in)

(˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

(Damn, Star! Save the punches for Megs! 😨)

Some extra questions (cuz what can possibly go wrong with askin’ ‘em, right? *Laughs nervously*):

. Y’all worryin’ about Ultra Magnus, but not Jetfire???

Is he dead for good?

(Please don’t let that be the case. He deserves more attention, and he’s got character potential, I promise

If it is what it is tho, can we at least confirm it, instead of makin’ Optimus look genuinely bad rn for this? Otherwise, it’s just a repeat of G1 writing at this point)

. I’m just gonna assume for now that Star had left the cat and the Cobra M.A.R.S. guy behind for (wow, if he even “cares” in that way) their safety, which would be one of the smarter decisions he’s made

Especially since he’s likely stuck until Astrotrain proves that, once again, he’s an MVP

. *Gasps* And Astrotrain has a love that Megs ended????????????? 😱

Oh, you just keep gettin’ better and better— 🩶💜💛

(And frag Megs for makin’ my train man upset like this! 😤)

. Wait Cliffjumper doesn’t wanna go back—?

(Well, I guess this at least means he could run into Springer and Hot Rod in the future)

Update: Oh, he does wanna go back after all…to Carly.

Oops.

(God there’s so much happenin’—)

. So the relationship between Cybertronians and the majority of humanity is officially cooked, right?

And every time Optimus is experiencin’ a crisis there’s gonna be a white background?

I like that. I like white backgrounds :3

. Do you think Roller and the Combat Deck are also experiencin’ the visions and the corruption stuff?

Oh.

Oh no.

Oh to the actual no—
