I'm gonna be seeing vertixes in my fucking sleep tonight

I’ve been thinking about Earthspark, a lot.

I have been really hoping that Nightshade becomes either a motorcycle (like, just straight bike, no extra car like Thrash.), or one of those sleek race cars like Mirage. It would be so fun to see. Might also be kinda fun to see them becoming the stealthy/dignified one.

It’d be adorable, partially because we’ve already seen that they’re kinda over emotional, and need to learn a better poker face, and with Mirage as a possible teacher, they could get some serious character dev, and possibly a whole arc, of learning from Mirage, yet trying to remain true to their character, and their humble demeanor, since they’re learning from a noblemech, who’s typically quite snooty in most work I’ve seen, and in G1 he’s quite the introvert. So with Mirage, they could stand to gain some nice qualities; gain a little confidence, stealth skills, a poker face, and learn some grace/how to seem like a swan, similar to how Mirage is typically known to be, and yet, they’d also learn, and grow to understand that wearing a mask is good sometimes, but not all the time; they still need to remain true to who they really are, and be honest, maybe by Hound or another character (preferably one who’s a little more tolerant, and doesn’t want to rip Mirage’s neck cabling out. Maybe Cliff could come in, give them some internal conflict from the fighting/rivalry between Cliff and ‘Raj, and then Hound as the peacemaker can somewhat resolve it, and help out. And we could also see Cliff-Bee dynamic too.) Overall, It could make them quite an interesting character.

To see Jawbreaker kinda be like Hound would be kinda cute too. Liking plants, and learning a couple things from him, like how to effectively toss his size around, and learn how to be stealthy even with his larger frame, since hound is arguably probably a good bit bigger than Mirage, and doesn’t have much more than his holograms to help him, so he’d probably know a thing or two on how to use the surroundings and environment. Also how to be gentle, and sweet, so he can do things that require a gentle touch too. (Also for the record; if Jawbreaker doesn’t become one of those giant balls at Target, or a fucking pacman, my disappointment will be immeasurable, and my day will be ruined./hj)

And I don’t know about anyone else, but if we could get Rodimus as the person teaching Hashtag, that would be golden comedy. And I mean, Rodimus. Not Hot Rod. Rodimus. The captain of the Lost Light, the mech who’s seen some shit, became a prime, got turned inside out, and now has a youngling to teach. And he is just so tired. Perpetual exhaustion.

So we could see some dad Op, momma Lita, and son Roddy. And it could be fun to see some of the Primacy explored, maybe some of how he’s seriously religious and just rarely mentions/shows it, and maybe a big lesson for all the Terrans, and in general all the MCs, is that ‘Cons can be redeemed, shown from Drift. It would also be fun to see him take a leader position again, and sort teach them to be true to themselves. And in the same vein, he’s trying to teach Hashtag not to be quite so hasty, seriously think about big decisions, learn from past mistakes, and still try to have fun. He’s taking what he’s learned through captaining, and giving it to them. Yknow?

Also could be kinda cute to see some ships, even if just platonic, like Hound/Mirage, and explain why they work so well together.

“Hound and Mirage were in Spec.Ops together. They kinda grew on each other.”

“Bee was in Spec.Ops too.”

“Cliff and Bee look a lot alike, and were always kinda joined at the hip.”

“Cliff and Mirage never really got along.”

“Optimus and Elita knew each other long before the war. They’re actually together/used to be together.”

“Rodimus is actually a prime/took up the Primacy from Optimus/is/was Optimus’s student.”

“Optimus and Megatron used to know each other/were best friends/are brothers.”

Some explanations for certain dynamics/friendships. It could be fun. It could also explore relationships, and some romance, and that could really fun. It would also be a fun opportunity to get some serious Aro/Ace representation, since they’ve already made a canon NB ‘Former, so it’s certainly not quite off the table!

It would also be interesting to have something kind of like Swindle, with other cons. Through their mistakes, they learn. Little/low cons, not the big/high ones. Maybe the Stunticons, or something.

And also, some cons may have followed Megs over, willing to make Earth their new home. (Very Respectfully Looking at KO&BD; They love drive-in movies and some feats of Earth culture. I think they’d be okay with it. Also the Stunticons; they were made on Earth, not like much changed, and if they behaved, they could have fun! :D!)

If we could get some of that, that would be fun. Like now and then, other G1 characters pop in to give them lessons/be the teacher, like how we saw with Arcee. And they slowly develop as characters, with all that they’ve learned, and by the time the show is through, they’ve learned the ropes, know what they’re doing, and how to be Transformers, just like the rest.

Another thing that could be a great fun; all the captured individuals, and the Cybertronians as a whole; now with Dr.Meridian in the picture trying to eradicate their kind, and GHOST not exactly seeming the picture of morality? There may be a secret backup/failsafe plan and sanctuary they’re not speaking of, just in case things go south, and that’s what it really comes down to to preserve themselves.

Also could be fun to see a possible passing of Leadership between Megs and a student/heir of his. That could be something that possibly showed his like for the Maltos, if he invited them to see it, since would probably be something quite personal/intimate, to see him step down from the throne, and give up his power to someone else who he’s trained/trusts to keep the Decepticons going the right direction, going steady, or just simple as not throwing all his progress down the drain. That would certainly show some development as a character for him.

Similar if Roddy instead shows up as Hot Rod, to be Optimus’s student he’s training to take the Matrix. (Again; Parents!Oplita + Son!Roddy dynamic. Fun to explore.) This could also possibly include Deadlock, and how they did meet before Roddy became Prime, and in a way, became friends. Maybe some Protective!Deadlock, and Roddy serving as a middle ground, while Deadlock is slowly working towards redemption.

I just have so many ideas. And I wanna write, but I can’t properly write if I don’t know Jawbreaker, Hashtag, and Nightshade’s alt modes!! 😫

And I also cannot wait for the next episode! 😆
