Warning: Attention in this AU all people are in one universe (reality), for their own psychological well-being. Also in this post real places on our planet are mentioned (they just have a different history).
Before the Decepticons took over the island, it housed a human research base for studying Antarctica (climate conditions, observing local fauna, as well as observing volcanic activity. Deception Island has one of two active volcanoes on the northern continent).
After the Cybertronians arrived on Earth in 1984, the Decepticons sought to gain a tactical advantage over the Autobots. Obviously, the Autobots had gained a lot of human support, and later the government gave them a military base in Diego Garcia, which was quite remote and secluded. Megatron knew that his forces needed such a secluded base more than enough, and over the next couple of years, he not only found a few human allies, but also had Starscream and his trine on research missions (this definitely made the Autobots nervous and on high alert). The task of these flights was to find a suitable place for Shockwave's new base, far from human eyesight, with the necessary energy potential and with a climate harsh enough that the Cybertronians themselves did not want to attack or engage in espionage. Oddly enough, there are quite a few islands on Earth that are not inhabited by people for one reason or another, but they were not suitable for the Decepticons' business. Some of them, like the Archipel Kerguelen, although they were remote, had zero population (as it later turned out in the second reconnaissance, there were researchers there, not so zero), had no energy potential, the second was Bouvet Island, it was an ideal place, there was no human population, a harsh climate, but the problem of the lack of a power source was not acceptable. The last option was Deception Island.
Besides the fact that the name was extremely ironic, the territory had everything necessary. The volcanic island had a power source (a volcano), no human activity and, most importantly, an unpleasant climate from the outside. The Decepticons did not even have to drive away human researchers, since after a series of eruptions in the 1970s, they simply left the territory alone, which the Cybertronians subsequently rushed to take advantage of.
Much later, when the scientific lab and base were built and protected, it became a place for cyberformation of the Decepticons' few human allies.
Deception Island: a former research island, now a Decepticon military and scientific base. Consists of several floors, the lower floors are used to power the entire base from heat generators powered by the island's volcanic activity. Then come the storage floors (energon reserves, parts, metals and weapons, as well as an archive of Shockwave's scientific works and other Decepticon scientists). Later come the laboratories themselves (the territory where the cyberformation process takes place belongs to the research part of the base), testing areas, archives. On the upper floors of the base are residential complexes and training halls, as well as a communication point with the main base of the purple-faction.
Usually, once a person gets to the Decepticons' island, there is a chance that he will not return to the world of people. The cyberformed ones of sorts become primarily a defense force against potential Autobot attack (however, as practice has shown, the Autobots avoid Deception Island as much as the Decepticons avoid Diego Garcia). However, Soundwave and the others are not inclined to erase information about their activities, so the human government is forced to figure out whether a human has become a victim or a willing ally. In either case, the information about him will be erased (this is done by the human government itself and the same secret agents who erase data on the Autobots' allies).
The commune of Cyberformed people on the island was formed spontaneously. They have no main leader, no management system or hierarchy, everyone does what is close to them and brings benefit to the cause. For the most part, Silas and Harold Attinger fight for control of the commune (you know how Megatron is always fighting with Starscream for leadership? Well, imagine that it is about the same, only these are two Megatrons). Silas uses military methods of management, iron discipline in his hands becomes a severe test for other cyberformed. Attinger uses the interests of others to force them to obey, this usually works more effectively than Silas's strict attempts (sometimes he can be even more frightening than Leland Bishop, not afraid to hurt an ally or threaten death. This is a cold calculation, not a business approach, Silas can simply threaten deactivation). Despite this, the commune reports directly to the Decepticon High Command, whether they like it or not Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave and Shockwave are their new bosses. Due to the lack of unity in the commune, it is not entirely clear whether the former humans share a common culture or holiday, for the most part they are consumed by personal ambitions, the desire to gain a certain position in the Decepticon hierarchy or to come to terms with the new state of affairs. (The only ones who care the least about this are Priscilla Pynch and Vince).
On the island, the Decepticon allies are trained in military affairs, Cybertronian sciences (only two of the former humans have received such an honor) and are trained. Unlike the Autobots, the Decepticons do not see anything wrong with taking new allies into battle. This creates a direct confrontation between the Autobot and Decepticon allies (Many of them have personal scores to settle, so if Silas is involved in the battles, there is a chance that he will clash with Fowler. The same goes for Harold Attinger and Cade Yeager). Deception Base performs primarily a scientific research function, but also treats wounded soldiers (as does Diego Garcia).
Access to the island is via spacebridge and airspace (probably by water, too, but due to the harsh conditions, none of the Decepticons and Autobots were stupid enough to try).

Honestly I find this "Chonkwave" thing hilarious✨ I did this to amuse myself a little, I hope you'll giggle too.
One cute anonymous asked to paint a Burns family. I drew though it took me some time.💖
How big can cyberformed humans get? There has to be a point where they can grow to be as big as a normal Cybertronian. If they stayed the same size they were, it would be harder for them to assimilate despite being the size of a minion or cassette.
Hi Anon! Great question!
In fact, Cyberformed humans never remain human-sized. They are full-fledged Cybertronians. In "Part 2", the last point "Pre-bot", I already wrote that the bodies of former humans are formed with their individual characteristics. This means that he will be like a full-fledged Cybertronian, the size and body depend solely on his frame type (but with an individual design, model, and only some details can be inherited from the one who donated nanites). If a person is strong and powerful, and in the early stages he gets tank parts, most likely he will be the size of a tank. It all depends on the frame, of course, if a person consumed too many nanites of one frame during infection, there is a chance that he will become exactly this kind of Cybertronian (for example, this happened to Alexis, she is a seeker. Starscream is extremely proud of himself). A person, in general, inherits features along with the frame, for example, the fact that seekers need society and are afraid of tight spaces (for a former person, this can be an extremely unexpected phenomenon if he did not suffer from such phobias before). In fact, Cybertronians do not quite understand what exactly determines the predisposition to a particular type of frame in people. So when a person goes through the last stage, some Autobots make bets on who exactly the former person will be.
People grow during the "Pre-bot" phase as if in a dream, they are surrounded by energon and the necessary elements for growth, which is why the flasks change in the process. Roughly speaking, everything starts with a human-sized flask (probably a little larger), but the larger the former human's body becomes, the more spacious the flask they are changed to continue growing. Why aren't they immediately placed in a larger growth flask? This is so that the body does not rush to build up everything at once, the slow growth process helps to fully form all the systems slowly and gradually. (It goes without saying that compared to the Autobots and Decepticons who have been through a war for millions of years, cyberformed bots are the healthiest and not exhausted by wounds and damage). Simply put, by the time they wake up, their bodies are already ready and they do not need to go through the growth stages of humans and other organic species.
In short, they can be quite large (assuming they are not minicons or cassettes themselves, of course, but there are several minicons among the Cyberformed). And in anticipation of questions, I prepared a list of frames and people. So you can estimate who is what size (I will try to arrange them in the height list, but some Cyberformed bots may be, well… Larger than expected. Well, like… A truck is not all the same, remember. Because for example, Optimus, Motormaster and Sentinel are trucks, but most likely they have a difference in height).
Tanks: William Lennox, Robert Epps, Agent William Fowler Trucks: Cade Yeager, Jack Darby, Red Seekers: Alexis, Chip Chase, Sara Lennox (I'm not sure). Scout-Class Space Satellite: Rafael Esqivel (he's about the size of Soundwave, maybe a little shorter, but not much) Cars: Carly, Mikaela Banes, Sam Witwicky, Tessa Yeager, Charlie Watson (minicon), Miko Nakaday, Verity Carlo, Danny Clay (he's just a car, but to Junkion's he's one of them) bro) Race Cars: Shane Dyson, Raoul, Noah Diaz Helicopter: Seymour Simmons
Rescue Bots: · Charlie Burns - police car · Kade Burns - fire truck · Graham Burns - engineering vehicle (haven't decided on a model yet) · Dani Burns - medical helicopter · Cody Burns - forestry helicopter Mining Equipment (other production): Sparkplug Witwicky, Spike Witwicky Insecticon: June Darby (moth type: Argema mittrei) Dinobot: Daniel Witwicky (minicon, he transforms into Galimim) Beastbot: Russel Clay (minicon, transforms into a cybercat, probably a more bigger than Ravage)
This is a list of those with whom I have more or less decided, of course there are those whose frames I have not decided on in their list: Isaac Sumdac, Sari Sumdac (she will probably be a minicon), Green Family (Doc. Green, Fransin, Professor Baranova, Sisi), Woodrow Burns and Izabella.
You may not agree with my choice and have your own idea of what this or that character transforms into (this is normal). When I make articles about characters with their design and model, perhaps there will be a little more clarity. I will also write what this or that character does on Diego Garcia.
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
I wanted to write a headcanon about this two days ago, but I couldn’t because of the trip. I want to responsibly tell you that this braid in King’s hair is not just that!
It's definitely Lovelock or Strand of Love. So that you understand Lovelock is a long strand of hair, which was often braided to show devotion to a person (to a lover, but with King it is loyalty). I think that most likely King was showing his boundless loyalty in this way, perhaps a dark strand of Kaido’s hair is woven in there. By the way, this tradition was taken by Europeans from North American Indians (so perhaps the culture of the Lunarians is not far from the same Skypieans, Shandians, etc.).
P.S.: I’ll correct myself, some historians consider Lovelock’s European origins as a symbol of knightly devotion, but to be honest, I prefer the version with North American Indians. This simply nicely echoes the general tone of the heavenly peoples that were created by Oda, clearly under the impression of the Indians.👉👈
Sideswipe: I think it's a little weird, before it became a bot, Russell didn’t sleep that much. Grimlock: I think this is nothing strange, because he looks like a cat! Since Russell is a minikon, very much like a cat, he acquired some of the habits of these animals. He began to love to sleep a lot, bask in the sun, climb into narrow or soft places, and during sleep he leans in strange postures. (Very flexible! However, it’s good that he doesn’t discard items! I think Denny would be very unhappy with this feature.) The whole team had to get used to the “new” Russell, the only one who does not see anything wrong with the new, this is Grimlok, because he considers this change to be quite natural.
I passed the exams!✨💖 I'm alive! I'm back! And I am preparing something special for you! But for now hold the Overlord.
