Cyberform AU: Answers to questions 6

Hi Anon! Ooooohhhhh✨! Thank you so much! I'm actually incredibly happy that so many people are interested in my idea, that they ask me questions. I'm just incredibly obsessed with my idea and it makes me happy to see other people's interest. It makes me incredibly happy, I'm like a sunflower getting all the light in the universe! I plan to continue developing all this by writing lore articles and answering questions, maybe making funny videos, drawing designs and making short stories! (Thank you, I'm so glad you like it and thanks for waiting, I hope you like the answer)

I was expecting this question because the attitude of Decepticons is a really interesting topic. I will say in advance that my plot is different due to the multiverse, but some events remain original. In fact, Decepticons from one show to another (as in the comics) are quite dismissive of people, not very kind at all. However, I like to think that this is only because they consider us imperfect, however, courage, determination, ingenuity, flexible mind, cunning and other our qualities actually pleasantly surprise them. I would say that they are too lazy to look closely at people and individuals on their own, they have many more important things to do. Despite this, there are also Decepticons who devote their time to studying humanity closer (Swindle and Lockdown, for example). In a way, they sympathize with us, because throughout the history of our species, we have had many revolutions to achieve a better world for ourselves. The Decepticons are quite capable of understanding this, moreover, they watch human conflicts with interest in my opinion (Their personal talk show, in which they do not even need to interfere). They are fascinated by the chaos of nature, which then generates order to repeat the cycle again (Megatron, for the most part, seems to me to believe that this is precisely the flexibility that the Cybertronians themselves lack).

Decepticons rely mostly on Autobots for cyberforming, they don't want to look at humans under close scrutiny themselves. They just look at those who have already been chosen by the Autobots, if they like someone for one reason or another, well… It's better for the poor person to hold on because their methods are less gentle. They won't even ask permission from a person for this important change in a life. Decepticons believe that a person should be flattered that they were considered strong and outstanding enough to be made a Cybertronian. Needless to say, the cyberforming process for the "victims" of the purple faction's attention is more emotionally unpleasant and painful due to the lack of empathy and support. They have no friendships, yes, Decepticons know the person they have chosen well, they have a connection, but it is business, and not a deep personal one like friendship. Does this create a question of the loyalty of the former people? Yeah, but Megatron clearly has a lot of experience in making even the most dubious mechs in his faction work for him, so that's obviously not a problem.

Autobot allies who suffer from Decepticon attention are usually fairly well protected (however, embarrassments still happen and they can receive Decepticon nanites in addition to those given to them by the Autobots). The Autobots have a modest list of those who have suffered from excessive attention from another faction, but fortunately the moral compass of these people is strong enough and they remain on their path together with the Autobots (unfortunately, in my story, this will still "shoot them in the knee joint").

The list of Autobot allies who were subjected to Decepticon nanites includes (In brackets I wrote the Decepticons from whom these people received nanites):

– William Lennox (Megatron), Robert Epps (Brawl), Mikaela Banes (Barricade), Chip Chase (It is very difficult to say who exactly, there were quite a lot of seekers, he was often kidnapped for ransom or exchange. There is a possibility that it was TC and Skywarp), Alexis (Starscream), Isaac Sumdac (Shockwave), June Darby (Airachnid), Rafael Esqivel (Soundwave).

However, this is not the end, there is a separate list of people who were elected by the Decepticons, without the help of the Autobots. Of course, the reasons for which they were elected were more complex, foggy, these individuals obviously correspond to the main feature of the Decepticons themselves, namely, cunning. In contrast to the number of allies of the Autobots, these people are several times smaller. And yet, these cyberformed have peculiar personal scores with those who were cyberformed by the Autobots. They transferred their personal confrontation to factional showdowns. The process of cyberformation is not much different from the one I described, mainly Shockwave monitors its process, who located one of his laboratories on Deception Island near Antarctica (irony pudums). This is a secluded place where people do not appear and no one can interfere with his work. The conditions outside the laboratory can be quite harsh even for Cybertronians, so it is a kind of fortress. The Autobots do not attack this place because the Decepticons' cyberformed people are still humans and they respect their lives.

Unlike the Autobot allies, the Decepticons' charges actively participate in combat. No one is particularly gentle with them, you either learn or you don't. And it's better to be a useful warrior, a medic, a hunter, than to be useless always under the risk that the faction's chief scientist will turn his gaze on you (he will still pay attention, former people surprisingly have unique features). Shockwave's lab has enough space, it's a full-fledged base for adaptation, training. Obviously, the new "Deceptics" have their own Commune "Deception", they do not have a clearly defined leader because everyone strives to pull a patch of the blanket of glory and leadership to their side. The eternal struggle between them is actively encouraged, it is normal to find out who is better suited to lead the commune, although the main one in any case is Megatron.

Here is a list of those who were cyberformed by the Decepticons (those who became nanite donors are again indicated in brackets):

- Doctor Arkeville (Shockwave and Starscream), Dylan Gold (Soundwave), Silas|Leland Bishop (Onslag), Doctor Thaddeus Morocco (Shockwave), Madeline Pynch (Swindle), Priscilla Pynch (Slipstream), Quint Quarry (Lockdown), Harold Attinger (Lockdown), Vince (Stunticons).

I think I'll probably write a separate lore part about them a little bit later in a little more detail, I don't know if I'll make Cybertronian designs for them, but here's some information. I hope you'll really enjoy reading this, because your question made me think about who exactly is on the list of "lucky ones" and where exactly the cyberformation of these people takes place, because no one wants to send organics to Nemesis.

For the rest, to understand what Cyberform AU is: Character List Lore parts: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Answers to questions: Q&A1, Q&A2, Q&A3, Q&A4, Q&A5

Dear friends, sorry for disappearing for a while! I was a little sick and since I was not able to take care of myself (work, I could not work) a family member came to help me. Now I am better, while I was sick they tried to convince me that sitting in front of the screen is not a good idea and I need to rest more (my brain, melted by the temperature, tried to collect all the ideas and thoughts in a heap). Nevertheless, I am a stubborn ram, so in the coming days you will find a small stream of content that I made in my absence.

A small list of what you will see:

Headcanon about the gladiators of Cybertron✔

A couple of answers to questions about Cyberform AU

The fifth part of Cyberform AU

A post about HoneySota (the lore of my first TF OC)✔

I had ideas to make a comic instead of the fifth part, but I never drew references of Agent Fowler and Lennox, so I had to postpone the mini-comic for later. (I also had to try to make a list in which order I would draw references of Cyberformed people)

…

Hey guys! I have something special for you, this is a crossover between Hetalia and the Hazbin Hotel! I hope you enjoy it.💙

☆Meet the OC: HoneySota☆

Warning: In this post I use the art of my OC, which my wonderful friend made for me (I drew it myself quite a long time ago, my friend's art is also quite old, maybe there will be new ones too, since I slightly changed his story).

HoneySota is an Insecticon of the Actias luna type, although it shares traits with a couple of other moth species. It originated on Cybertron and in its "young" years was found in one of the Insecticon colonies beneath the planet's surface.

Hive "Prosperitatis" (from Latin "Prosperity") - was located under Altihex/Uraya (Mostly in Altihex, but one side of the hive was on the border with Uraya). It was quite old by Insecticon standards, but not the largest. It existed back in the heyday of gladiator fights and the unification of tribes, so in the archives of Iacon and various historical datapads there is evidence of rare Insecticon scouts. The small size, strict control over the number of colonies helped this hive to remain unnoticed in the optics of other Cybertronians for a long time. Rare clashes were considered just an accident. The Hive Queen was a proponent of the fact that Insecticons should mind their own business and not interfere with the politics of growing industrialization (I know that you may have questions, but I have my own headcanons for Insecticons). She had little interest in what was happening on the surface, and was indifferent when one or two warriors from her swarm disappeared, simply saying that she would create new ones or that it was easier to remain unnoticed. The passive policy and general disinterest of the Queen, in fact, led to the gradual violation of territorial boundaries and the withering of the Hive. It was exterminated by the functionalist rule and many of HoneySota's kindred became simply hunted "beasts" for the gladiators in Kaon.

As part of "Prosperitatis", HoneySota was a scout, with a moth-like form and an extremely mobile frame similar enough to a normal Cybertronian for surface missions, he was versatile (aside from the obvious telltale signs of his insectoid origins: an extra pair of optics, hypersensitive furry antennae, and wings folded behind him). His work in intelligence made him a dangerous and formidable opponent, Sota is more than capable of holding his own and that of his fellow Insecticons. He can be kind and even nice, but you need remembering about his more savage nature. Sota is intelligent, adaptable, and quick to learn new things. Becoming his friend is a sure good thing, but Sota is a bot with questionable morals, as he has a different way of thinking. For the most part, he enjoyed his life as a scout, and his mind not so clear enough from the effects of the Queen and the Common Mind to analyze what was happening on the planet. During the daytime cycles, he mostly rested in secluded places and avoided Cybertronians, but during the nighttime cycles, on the contrary, he felt comfortable and even made acquaintances (mostly those who had no prejudices against Insecticon).

Driven by his own curiosity and the fact that his native colony of insecticons was gradually dying out, he left the hive shortly before the final destruction of "Prosperitatis". Before the hive came to an end, he often turned to his queen, speaking of the need to leave the territory for the sake of survival, but was punished for this more than once. The queen was passive and confident in the stability of her own position, so HoneySota himself left the familiar way of life. So when the "Hive" was destroyed, he was left in proud solitude, without the necessary documents and earnings. Initially, HoneySota planned to join another hive to continue living a familiar way of life and not feel lonely. After the death of the queen, his processor was empty of the general swarm of thoughts and this led to discomfort, besides, life in the society of Cybertron was difficult. Much later, he overcame himself and decided to try to live alone, fearing that other hives would fall.

(The author of these drawings has deleted himself from the network, so I can't tag him. The art was made only when Sota appeared and I started to come up with his lore)

For the most part, before the war, he worked as a courier among the gangs, carrying dubious orders. At first, it was difficult for him to understand the concept of "legality" and "illegality" of some actions, but he had comrades who helped and taught him. HoneySota was able to integrate into the society of Cybertron, perceiving it more as a strange, peculiar hive. This helped him get rid of the feeling of loneliness, and rare meetings with other Insecticons were a pleasant surprise. He also often worked as a guide, along the underground untouched communications that were mainly used by Insecticons. Or as a waiter, a general worker in general, since he could not apply for any specific job due to the fact that he have moth altform (the functionalists were not happy, so he had some problems with documents and proving that he was not a "stupid animal"). Living in proud solitude, he discovered a lot for himself, since the mind of the swarm still partially deprived him of individuality earlier.

Here are a few things he learned about himself:

He likes lamps and glowing things (aka a moth, guys. There must be a thousand and one lamp jokes here). Sometimes his friends would use it to wake him up. HoneySota would scare them by suddenly appearing out of the darkness like a jack-in-the-box. He has his own small collection of glowing things or light-refracting crystals.

He can make high-pitched squeaking sounds when scared or when someone pokes him in his delicate parts (if you've seen videos of the Death's Head Moth squeaking, this is it).

HoneySota loves sweet energon and can be a bit careless with the treat. Engex tastes sweet to him too, and the Insecticon gets a funny tingling sensation in his fuel tanks when he drinks it.

He can cling to flat surfaces and scare the crap out of other bots, as many find his behavior creepy. (It's worth remembering that he's still a warrior who left his scout past behind.)

"Dude let me in, I'm a fairy" - a commission I ordered from this wonderful artist @recvachka (thank you🔥✨)

Later in the pre-war time, he spent some time in the Decepticons, but quickly realized that he would become nothing more than a tool and left their ranks. Unfortunately, he allowed Shockwave to research him, as he thought it could help his comrades. A couple of the scientist's experiments made HoneySota more terrifying and capable of creating a colony in his self. He was not a "queen", but had the necessary changes in his body to create other Insecticons. The changes made him more aggressive than usual, although earning his respect or friendship will keep you safe (In this regard, he is like Aragog, he can be calm and not touch you, but his morality is so gray that you can quickly become dinner for his descendants). After he left the Decepticons, he remained in neutral territories for some time, where he worked as a courier and helped smugglers traveling from world to world, from one spaceport to another. The life of a nomad was not to his liking, Sota wanted to create his own hive. In one of his travels, he ended up staying on Eukaris, where he found a Conjunx Endura and founded a small hive.

His Conjunx Endura, whose name is Niagara, is the Prince of one of the "Kingdoms" that are at war with each other. Niagara was pleased with the idea of ​​​​spreading his own hive, so together with HoneySota he began to strengthen the borders and recapture his own territory. Past experience made the moth a strong warrior, so soon a small nest and the first Insecticons appeared. In the recaptured territory, they founded their own hive, at the moment they have common Sparklings-bugs (the way they created is really quite scary, if you are interested, perhaps I will tell you. ask me please).

The names of the sparklings bugs and their species: Victory (Species: Dryocampa rubicunda), IceCrunch (Species: Oryctes nasicornis), Jewel (Species: Cetonia aurata), SlyShine (Species: Chrysolina coerulans) and Divine (Species: Rosalia alpina)

Niagara is a character of my wonderful friend, who made me a new reference HoneySota, now we are creating lore together. (On the left is Niagara's art, on the right is my old art where Sota is sitting hugging her sparklings. Now my friend and I are drawing new references for the little bugs, so I will publish them when they are ready)

Earlier I published a video in which I made headcanons for the voices of my characters, you can see it here. Voice of HoneySota: Johnny Cash - Ain't No Grave

If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them, because this is not all the information I have.

Cyberform AU

I love the different take on human characters in the Transformers fandom (from any universe). But what I've noticed is that a lot of people skirt around the G1 thing. You know? Most of the cyberformation fanfics are either TFP (mostly them, because Sari from Animated doesn't need it). Gen 1 has some amazing characters who are smart and brave and get into equally dangerous situations. I have an AU where people become Cybertronians, so I decided to expand on that. (I drew Chip Chase and Danial, so why not?)

I definitely find the idea of ​​putting my AU together a good one. I don't like the idea of ​​cyberformed people being alone in their universes (literally small groups, two or three bots, sounds terribly sad). I'll probably write my thoughts about this AU here from time to time. (I also have old drawings from 2018) Maybe there will be some art here, but I'm not sure I'm in the terrible art block right now.

This AU doesn't have a name, so let's call it Cyberform AU?

The same story as in the previous post, but this time Agent Fowler and Miss June.

two speedsters and a hunk walk out of a bar

“Are we Cybertronians?”  Very strange AU, where these three were always bots. Perhaps, I write a small fan fiction, to my AU.

okay human trun on Cybertronian?

that interesting if they trun dose they get what they want of design or they get a random one and they stuck with it?

Hi Anon! (Sorry I'm not sure if I understood the question correctly, but I tried… I hope you like it).

Basically, their body, color scheme, design, and frame reflect the personality of the former person. Individual characteristics are also present, as well as diversity, so for the most part, cyberformed people do not need to change their appearance in any way. Unless they want to change the color scheme, add some details (cosmetic changes can be made according to the capabilities and wishes, this does not apply to modifications for work in various fields). They cannot change their frame from a car to an airplane, because it will cause them strange feelings and can lead to something similar to dysphoria (they will probably feel that something is wrong and they will be extremely uncomfortable).

A nice detail for Cybertronian friends (who participated in the cyberformation), may be that the new bot will have some details from their design, the same with the color scheme. In general, this whole theme with their hull in my idea is tightly intertwined with how new sparks from hot spots on Cybertron found their form. The process is somewhat similar, cyberformed people have the status of "forged", their spark in the process itself knows how the hull will look in the end (but unlike new sparks, cyberformed do not need the help of blacksmiths). So no, they do not get a random design, they get the one that reflects their essence as best as possible, and also corresponds to personal skills and specialization.

However, there are exceptions, but not many. Sometimes, if the donor of nanites was a bot of a certain frame type, then the former human can also receive this frame type simply with its own unique and distinctive features. Alexis's situation was very indicative. Since in my AU she is still Starscream's best friend, she essentially received very few nanites from other donors with other frame types, and subsequently she became a "night" type seeker. Almost the same situation befell Chip Chase, there was a collective "battle" between the Lambo brothers (Sideswipe and Sunstreaker), Autobot scientists with a horde of seekers, the seekers' nanites won (Chip is not complaining, he is also a "night" type seeker).

The only thing that owners of this or that frame can complain about is the accompanying programming and predispositions (fears of seekers, the desire to race and all that, and this is due to the fact that it is more difficult for a person to understand what exactly his new processor wants, bots are there to help and explain).
