[kissingraine]

UHM???? band of brothers mentioned????😧 yall clearly have taste and im struggling to meet the expectations. here's ch3🫴🏻

Sun Bleached Flies — TF One Seekers x f!Reader (3)

While their weapons power up, Thundercracker's comms fizzle back to life—half-expecting it's Starscream's voice that comes through but Sky's panicked warbling neither disappoints or surprises him. He expected that one of them would notice he was deep in the Pit, their link making itself known and equally making him aware of their positions across the globe. Thundercracker cuts it off deliberately, can't bear to hear or know what Star wants to say about his situation. Worse, what the air commander won't say. Because he'll still feel it.

And that's much, much worse.

Skywarp portaled as fast as he could. Their link reconnected, somehow, after an entire decivorn. He had been minding his own business, about to start another mindless fight—until this spark-wrenching feeling of eternal dread comes over him, and he's spiraling. He's in danger. No, he isn't. But somebody else is. Starscream? Thundercracker? Come to think of it, he hasn't come back from his usual patrol. And they may have suppressed the neural link for an increasingly long time, but Sky knows in himself he would never tuck tail and turn to run when his brothers need him most.

Reckless as he was, the last one thrown into the battlefield and not giving him enough time to fully develop like Star and TC, barging in unannounced was his entire aesthetic. Only this time, his fellow trine needed him. And it's only due to his infamy that the pair of Auto-scum flee when they sense his EM field enter their processors. Skywarp shifts his plating to his mech form, landing on the ground with a rumble while his pedes slide through the snow. Thundercracker glances up and groans.

“Don't start.”

“I haven't said anything!” Skywarp raises both servos, noticing how the blue Seeker's repair protocols were working overtime to fix internal damage. The wing? Not so much. “Yet,” added Thundercracker, his hand remaining circled around you but not touching.

It's only when the other mech notices that there's one of those tiny organic natives just peeking out from behind his brother's ghosting hold. Thought he was just seeing things until the heat signature registered. Thundercracker's internal comms spring to life with his brother's voice box: “Are you going to keep that thing?” Skywarp immediately receives a glare. “She's not a thing. She's a native of this planet.”

The purple mech frowns behind his battle mask. “Exactly! Who do you think is gonna have our afts when Star finds out and he will?”

Thundercracker manages to roll his optics at Skywarp's valid worrying. He knows this was a mistake. Dragging another species into it always was. Earth became a temporary base to recuperate from the Prime's growing army and they had been fortunate enough to establish their headquarters on the ball of dirt. The supreme leader hated your kind, still new and young. Impulsive. He's half the reason why Starscream's been working so, so hard for the trine. And if the air commander ever found out, so will Megatron. Contrarily, if Thundercracker decided to let you go there's no telling if you won't squeal to your race's militia. And he could leave you for dead but he kind of owes you his life after acting like his meat shield.

• You have absolutely no idea what the two are talking about. Not sure if it's a them thing because all these two giants were doing was staring into each other's souls, maybe an exaggerated movement here and there. You could be hallucinating now that you were steadily losing a lot of blood. And feeling a lot colder than before actually. Or was it warmer? Whichever it was, your eyelids were growing heavier. Everything felt slow. Distant. Like trying to remember a dream while still half inside it. It's only the unfamiliar sound of choral dissonance between your new robot companions that keeps you barely aware. It bypasses your ears—you don't just hear it; you're perceiving it vibrating through your molars, bones and in your bloodstream. Not exactly a pleasant experience, not painful either just somewhat bothers you.

He's switched to Cybertronian because speaking in your tongue might spook you accidentally, “TC, look, I don't know if you've noticed but your tiny organic's temperature is slowly dropping.”

“Better to just leave it here. Doesn't look like it's going to survive much longer anyway.” He gestures to you and you don't even react, leaning against the palm of his brother's hand with a faraway look in your downcast eyes. Bruised and battered like Thundercracker was. He wonders if that's why the blue Seeker was so attached to you. Even if his brother won't say it out loud, he can feel it. What he can't understand is why though.

The blue mech ex-vents. Maybe Sky's right. As part of the Decepticons, leaving you to your own fate without dying at their hands is the most logical option. The most logical option and yet, he feels his energon lines prickle against his plating at the thought. He doesn't move. Not yet. Just watches you shiver against the curve of his servos while he flicks away the snow that's gathered on the roof of your tiny head using a servo—and he tells himself that the way his spark twitches is because of the cold.

I had a home and I was happy.

[suzieloveships]

Stupid idea I'm never going to write but I been think about a TFONE au where war never actually happens because quintessons attacks and now Autobots and Decopticons have a temporary truce

Now here is a thing, Bots just found out their whole life was a lie and they don't want to fight and Cons just spend last 50 cycles fighting and they are tired. And so now not only are they working together stop the invasion but are also working together to make sure there will be no more war after that...

by matchmaking their leaders

like I imagine them trying to do this "Much ado about nothing" style and this results in some interesting hijinks

[doshi-sukiru]

I made an oc! Do I know enough tf lore for this? Not really. I'm still building him. All I know is I needed to make a creature based on tf one and play with it.

He was once part of the elite guard back when the primes still had them, but he wasn't part of a trine. He doesn't use guns either! He's similar to sg star with his main weapon being swords and blades than guns and missiles. He and sentinel never got along normally before the fall of the primes, mainly because sentinel found Sigrun's neutral attitude to many things was very annoying (unless he was with thundercracker-) and would often bother him whenever he could just to laugh at how easily he got pissed off.

ofc this all of him if when he was in the past, I might draw his present form later. Questions go to inbox!

Bonus really bold colors because I wanted to make a dramatic piece

[xpurplepiex]

chat i hope you find this as funny as i do

[dailymothanon]

Thundercracker may be kind of stupid sometimes… but listen he doesn’t like being under pressure 😒 at least he pulled up Soundwave after that

[zorangezest]

(switcherooau) idk I missed drawing these morons

I’ve had a couple people ask what megatron’s reaction to swapped soundwave would be and the answer is: he gets his own hypeman. he’s delighted.

now with music

[bastardlybonkers]

bumblebee is really good at controlling his body language! unfortunately he is Not good at controlling body language he didnt know existed

first prev next

[zeropro]

Could you do some doodles of Rumble and Frenzy? Little ankle biters man, I’d say they’re even more feral than Starscream.

[the-legend-of-bluebrain]

Seekers are here

[classjezter]

A yes, the traditional nuclear family

[scribescrawls]

Thinking again about that Thunderwarp fic I read that's set in TFOne setting and how sad it was and how well it captures the desperation and suffering of the High Guard on the surface in their terrible living conditions. And the subtle hints that Starscream does care but is weighed down by needing to make tough decisions as leader. Also the fic that got me shipping thunderwarp lol

This is the fic if anyone is curious "The Luxury of Joy" by Lyrinka

[suzieloveships]

Cybertron Pre-Sentinel's betray

AKA High Guard x B99 au

Part 1/Part 3

Starscream: no big deal, I'm not afraid to be alone with my thoughts, my thoughts are awesome. Action holofilms, traveling to another planets, gigantic cubes of energon, my mother never loved me, I'm going to die alone Starscream: oh boy, that happened fast ------ Starscream: How are we looking? Skywarp: Sexy, but not like we're trying too hard. Like, sure we're trying, but it's almost...effortless? ------ Starscream: Megatronus got injured during our last mission. Megatronus: I’m not injured, I was just lightly stabbed. Prima: I’m sorry, you were stabbed! Megatronus: LIGHTLY stabbed! ------ Starscream: So, what, now I'm just supposed to do anything that Shockwave does? I mean, what if he jumped off a cliff? Megatronus: If Shockwave were to jump off a cliff, he would've done his due diligence regarding the height of the cliff, the depth of the water, and the angle of entry, so yes. If you see Shockwave jump off a cliff, by all means, jump off a cliff. Starscream: You jump off a cliff. Magatronus: Gladly. Provided Shockwave did first. ------ Starscream: I refuse to believe anyone here is a mole. Here, watch this. I know what everyone's gonna do tonight. Skywarp is going to pratice teleporting again. Skyfire's gonna be going over his weekly budget. Thundercraker is going to write his fanfics and if I run and leap at Soundwave, he will most certainly catch me in his servos. Coming in! Soundwave: No! I'm holding energon! [Starscream jumps and Soundwave lets him fall] ------ Thundercracker: Skyfire, do I look like Starscream to you? Skyfire: What? Thundercracker: do I look like Starscream to you?! Skyfire: No? Thundercracker: then why are you trying to screw me?!  ----- Starscream: The question is: Who here does the best impression of Megatronus Prime? You'll be judged on voice, body language, and overall lack of flair. Everyone will perform the same scenario: Megatronus eating a sweet cube for the very first time. Let the Prime-off begin! Soundwave: What is this non-nutrition monstrosity before me? Shockwave: The sugar in this is quite sweet. Thundercracker: Ooh, mm-hmm, mm-hmm-hmm-hmm! Starscream: That's your Prime impression? Thundercracker: I can hear him doing that. Skywarp: Looks like a sticky pillow. Starscream: I don't care for it. Classical music. Megatronus: What's going on here? What are you doing? Starscream: Captain, hey, nothing, just eating some sweet cubes. Care for one? Megatronus: Sweet cubes? [eats it] Hmm. Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm! Thundercracker: I knew it! ------ Megatronus: What happened? Starscream: Well... remember when you told me not to burn the ship down? Megatronus: You burned the ship down?? Starscream: No, I had the fire put out immediately. This is a success story! ------ Starscream: Oh... I’m so tired. I can’t keep my optics open. Here, I need you to slap me. Megatronus: I’m not gonna do that. Megatronus: [Slaps him hard] Megatronus: I thought perhaps the element of surprise would help. Starscream: It did! ------ Starscream: I'm gonna go take another crack at that Quintesson's spy we captured. Skyfire: You've been in there, like, five times. What are you gonna do? Annoy him into talking? Starscream: Ha, ha. Very funny. *Later* Starscream, sitting in front of a spy with a guitar: 2, 3, 4! Starscream, strumming randomly on guitar: *Pterodactyl screeching* ------ Starscream: Alright, you’re clearly not listening to me. I can say whatever I want. Soundwave: Tell me about it. Starscream: I murdered Thundercracker as revenge. Soundwave: I feel you. Starcream: Now that I realize how easy it is to solve problems that way, I can’t stop murdering. Soundwave: Been there.

Draw your favorite moments from any transformers media (movies, comics, cartoons an all)

last one moment from g1 but i forgot from what episode Guys, thanks for your questions and suggestions! I will try to answer each one :) I am also preparing a small reference for personal use with all three seekers

[swivelbot]

The funniest part of G1 is objectively Starscream’s stupid shrill voice.

[dailymothanon]

I just know Thundercracker is both simultaneously an overthinker and underthinker 🙄 very impressive that he thinks so hard it’d wake his (admittedly telepathic) wife… but to give him some credit he probably thinks a lot more than Skywarp lol (yes Skywarps catching a stray here). But he probably doubts himself cuz he knows Soundwave puts up with so much of Megatron and Starscream screaming and hollering always that he’s wondering if Soundwave is just also putting up with him 😭 (I want more BoomMic so bad it’s crazy)
