SG Question: how would you write a SG version of the Decepticon Magnificus?

Hmmm

Probably a real humble guy, maybe a borderline pacifist who believes in not fighting unless all other options have been exhausted? Though, when necessary, he will fight and he's certainly not bad at it

Though, this is based on a three minute read-through of his tfwiki entry as this is the first time I've heard his name

Dear, Vector Prime.

Is there a universe in which Twincast was an active clone of Blaster?

Dear Clone Contorter,

From an early age, Shockwave had been fascinated by cloning technology; in the past, Exarchon had used his fascination with this forbidden science to deliberately lure him over to the Threefold Spark when the mad warmonger attempted to conquer Cybertron, and their joint experiments yielded Soundblaster and many Skywarp clones.

In the immediate aftermath of the battle of Darkmount, which ended with Optimus Prime and many of the Autobots fleeing Cybertron aboard the Ark, the Decepticons turned their attention to imposing some kind of order in the territories they controlled. However, Megatron’s nascent movement lacked the manpower they required to effectively maintain martial law, and the Decepticons had suffered heavy casualties in the final battle against the Autobots. With the Pyramid out of commission, Megatron ordered Shockwave to reactivate his mothballed cloning program in the hope of mass-producing a temporary wave of “stopgap soldiers” until the Decepticons could return the building to functionality.

With the assistance of Soundblaster, Shockwave returned to his laboratory and embarked on a fresh wave of cloning experiments. In addition to creating a new cohort of Seeker clones, he obtained samples of Blaster’s CNA and used them to produce “Twincast”, who would hopefully support Iacon’s communications facilities; further experimentation yielded “Magnificus”, a scientist who emerged from his cloning chamber with all of Perceptor’s theories and papers pre-loaded into his mind and was tasked with restoring the Pyramid to full functionality. However, while Magnificus was content to be a loyal cog in the machine, Twincast quickly grew beyond his initial programming and came to doubt his place in the Deception war machine. Before long, Twincast abandoned the Decepticons and vanished from the grid, using his own subsonic signals to mask his energy signature; when he next surfaced, it was as a member of Elita-1’s resistance movement, where he helped to battle the tyrannical order he’d been created to uphold.

Magnificus is cool, everyone just keeps forgetting he exists.

Scrybruary Week 1: Role Reversal/Swap

Beast!P03 and Death!Magnificus make friends with a dinosaur...and possibly each other. Original image: [x]

[longelk]

have you ever made designs for if kaycee became obsessed with one of the other scrybes and became like them (little wizard kaycee for mags or robot/cyborg kaycee for p03 stuff like that)

oh someone asked smehing similar before, yea this is a concept i want to visit!

if we're talking about physical transformation i think the tough part is coming up with a reason Why its happening to her with the other scrybes. with Leshy there's the whole being-around-a-leshy-turns-you-into-one thing, she cuts off parts of her body as a game mechanic and grafts animal parts to her, which segues into Werewolfisms, etc.

the theme of sacrifice does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to her drifting away from humanity, so much so that her being beast-aligned has become a fundamental part of her character in my interpretation... BUT that makes it very fun to come up with alternate timelines where she became 'buddies' with a different scrybe and how things would go down!

i know for a fact she'd easily go insane in a world where Magnificus took over (we're assuming he intended to use OLD_DATA to make a game and not pull off world-ending shit. and kaycee would make a mod rehauling the mox system). it wouldnt be a stretch to say Magnificus would try to pull off some kind of experiment on God if he met her face-to-face. maybe not to the degree he does with his students but.. subtly?

Going to run a worst canon transformers name poll. Here are the runner ups:

Lube, Erector, Valve, Discharge, Spike (honorary), Chromedome, Ultra Magnus, Clench, Thrust, Magnificus, Vroom, Drill nuts, Breastforce (also honorary), Big daddy, Beta, Wideload, Bruticus

Added names: lord imperious delirious, outback, rodimus prime, dipstick, bulge, overload, valvatron, borehole, longrack, enemy, tailgate, sky garry, railspike, shreddicus maximus, joe the micromaster, tentakil, loafer, krok, toaster, deathsaurus, hexadeathimal, guyhawk, killmaster, crankhandle, horri-bull, dirtboss, hurr-gurr, scissor boy, bucket head, flatline, omega spreem

If anyone has any more suggestions please feel free to add it to the comments/tags of this post (or anon me if u r shy). It was surprisingly difficult to gather this list. There isn’t exactly a wiki page dedicated to really bad transformers names, so any help would be very much appreciated.

Dear, Vector Prime.

Is the name of this Mini-Con combiner, which looks exactly like Perceptor, "Magnificus"?

Dear Radalacious Researcher,

My, that is a lucky guess. The Extreme Action Team of X-Bandit, Gnarl and Trick Panel were avid athletes by themselves, but when their Mini-Combination showed itself, the trio thought it was the most magnificent thing.
