#while sg/phoenix gets his colors from Tankcrusher; reg/Phoenix gets his colors from Thrillchaser

OKAY I’M ALREADY DRAWING, AND I HAD TO STOP EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE NOW I NEED TO KNOW WHY THRILLCHASER LEFT IN REG!PHOENIX’S AU, AND WHAT IT HAD TO DO WITH RODDY, BECAUSE NOW I HAVE ADDITIONAL ANGST FUEL FOR MY BRAIN, ART, COMIC, AND WRITING.

i feel like it might have to do with his perceived failures. and possibly ‘Thunderclash is better anyway’. and if so, oh my god, that is so much fucking angst fuel right there, straight up. and so much possibility for Thunders to go apeshit on his ass. no lies.

WHO SAYS HE EVER WANTED TO LEAVE IN THE REGULAR CONTENUITY!?

The way I like to imagen it, is that in reg/Phoenix's contenuity, Thrillchaser didn't want to leave the family, but he was forced to by his conjunx, because he openly sided with the Autobots. Expressing a wish to join their side, because the Decepticons have clearly lost their way and he didn't want their son being raised in a faction that would only shun him for looking like the prime. All the while Tankcrusher would glare at Thrillchaser and accuse him of treason.

You know, mixing the formula a little bit up and making Thrillchaser a good guy from the start, while Tankcrusher becomes more questionable. She still loves her son, yes, but she's also loyal to the Decepticons. Which is why she made sure reg/Phoenix would go with his former crew and serve the Decepticons who didn't believe the war was over.

And then reg/Phoenix got thrown overboard and ended up on the Lost Light.

(Thrillchaser is still trying to find reg/Phoenix. He wants to reconnect with his son, but he has no idead if he's alive or not. And Tankcrusher won't even tell him what happened to their son either.) (Also, reg/Phoenix doesn't even know that his father loves him. Tankcrusher told him that Thrillchaser left, because he hated them.)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

In the 'Birds of a Feather' au, Thrillchaser didn't leave the family. Both he and Tankcrusher are living a happy live and love their sons very dearly.

They're also running Tankcrusher's bakery together and got sparkbroken as they recieved the news of their sons going missing with a high possibility that they're dead.

Hearing that is why caused Thrillchaser to leave Tankcrusher behind on Cybertron. Not because he no-longer loved her or anything, no, he decided to go looking for their sons while Tankcrusher stayed behind in case their sons would make it back to Cybertron.

Thrillchaser, while on his search, calls Tankcrusher regularly or sends her cheesy texts saying how much he loves her. He also keeps her updated on how things are going and how he sometimes finds traces of their sons being still alive.
