Welcome to my blog "a thousand and one weird ideas". I draw a little here, write my AUs with lore details and joke around.
175 posts
My good friend has to put up with me (Thanks, I appreciate her listening to me and editing my ideas when possible @arenorsblog) ALL BECAUSE I CAN'T SHUT UP. I just want to get my ideas out there and I need someone to stream my consciousness and joke around with…. (I'm such a joke) I warn you that my conversation contains a small spoiler for a future lore piece (unfortunately it won't be anytime soon, but you can laugh at how obsessed I am with my AU)
I am g1 fan so I wodering, What happen to g1 human how they cyberform? Witwicky family was it all once or over time? Chip it was Decpticon how it happened to him? What happen with Raoul? Also I like your au vary much so far🫶
(Sorry if my English is not great)
Hi Anon! Don't worry I got you! (You're doing great! English isn't my native language either, so you're doing pretty well!) Thank you, I'm glad you like my AU!
Some of them were cyberformed, including: Sparkplug Witwicky, Spike Witwicky, Carly, Daniel Witwicky, Chip Chase, Raoul. Of course there were other characters like Astoria, but I didn't take them because I found them less interesting (and I think their influence on the plot is less significant).
In my story, the Witwicky family is quite large and is divided into two large branches, the first branch is headed by Sparkplug, the second branch with Ron at the head (so in my universe, Sam from Bayverse is part of this large family, not left without the supervision of relatives hehe). I will also make a small note that at the time when the events of G1 take place, Spike in my AU is older, he already has a wife Carly and a teenage son Daniel. (Everything is more or less canon, just a little older, but otherwise the events do not change). Sparkplug, Spike and Carly worked closely with the Cybertronians, since they essentially established contact first, the human government could not brush them off. The government allowed them as agents for communication. Among the Cybertronians, they found loyal friends and a company that probably understood them. Daniel probably got his pass later, when the Ark opened up a zone for human agents (in terms of training, he switched to distance learning. Plus, the government decided that Cybertronians could teach a teenager something and he would share the knowledge with other agents). They were the first to go through the cyberformation process, which shocked the government.
In fact, the entire family from the first branch was cyberformed, the sudden loss of contact for the second branch was explained by the fact that they moved to another country, and in this case, relatives can really lose contact. Why they decided to cyberform them at all was because Spike and Sparkplug actively participated in battles, they were often captured by the Decepticons, and they were often exposed to other dangers. Optimus heard a lot of worries from his Autobots, so he decided to protect them in this way, besides, they were already christened as "Honorary Autobots". Nevertheless, during a long acquaintance, he understood that family is important for people, so he thought for a long time about whether to allow them to become Cybertronians (they were lucky that the whole family were close friends of Cybertronians, this simplified Optimus's moral struggle). I think the order of infection was as follows: Sparkplug, then Spike and Carly (at the same time), and then Daniel.
Sparkplug was infected and cyberformed after the episode where his mind was taken over (I'm not sure, but it was Season 1, Episode 11). The man was angry, afraid that this would separate him from Spike, Carly, and his grandson, but his worries were in vain. If you remember, in Season 2, I think Episode 17 ("Autobot Spike"), Spike suffered from a Decepticon attack. In my AU, this event even happened, but his injuries were not so significant. Nevertheless, this incident became extremely indicative for the Autobots, which is why Spike and Carly were infected, just after the man began to recover. After this, the Autobots basically had a "protocol" in which a person with the status of "honorary Autobot" under certain circumstances must go through Cyberforming. Oddly enough, Spike and Carly knew what was going to happen to them, as Bumblebee and Ironhide did not hide their feelings and asked permission directly. Daniel was probably the last one, because Spike and Carly wanted to be able to comfort their son during this painful process. The Autobots and Witwicky did not wait until he was in danger and acted first.
Regarding Chip Chase, no, he did not become a Decepticon. His show up for the first time already more than enough, he literally in the very first episode with his appearance was in danger. In my AU, he was allowed as a human technology specialist, a kind of consultant for the Cybertronians. Because of his lack of mobility and knowledge, the Decepticons began to take him prisoner so often for ransom and exchange that one could joke that every second "Tuesday and Thursday" he appears to them (this became an unpleasant part of the routine). At first, the Decepticons treated him with disdain, but then he became a kind of window into human culture, relatively willingly answering questions and giving explanations. The Seekers were especially impressed by him, oddly enough, it was his disability that was the reason for this. They probably compared the loss of mobility with the loss of the ability to fly and it touched them to the quick, besides, Chip is smart. They just thought it would be great to get this mind into their ranks, only they didn't take into account that the guy was a supporter of the Autobots. The Autobots asked him for permission and he gave it quite consciously, cyberforming was his chance to walk (and fly) again. Despite all the efforts of the Seekers to get Chip to become a Decepticon, fortunately this did not happen. When he became a Cybertronian, they tried to influence his programming, but Chip resisted this (although it was difficult). In the AU, he became a flight instructor and a first-class pilot using his observations of the Seekers and using human aerobatics. Roughly speaking, even before the appearance of the Aerialbots, the Decepticons acquired a dangerous enemy in the sky (and given Chip's undeniable superiority at night, the Decepticons began to appear in the sky less often at this time. If there were missions at night, they flew only in trines).
Now about Raoul, although his encounter with the Autobots is not different in any way, Raoul essentially took advantage of the ticket to a relatively poor life after helping (sorry, I have a headcanon that he is from a very vulnerable segment of the population). He is a great guy (with a kind heart) and he has this chemistry with Tracks. After the encounter with Megatron, Tracks was concerned about the safety of his comrade, he was afraid that this confrontation and the vindictiveness of the Decepticons could put him in danger. He talked Blaster into it and thanks to his actions, the government was literally forced to make him an agent. Since it is not known what is going on with his family or friends, his disappearance in the gang was rather perceived as the fact that he got involved with the wrong people and "disappeared". Tracks did not hide it and almost openly asked him if he wanted to become a Cybertronian, and since it seems to me that Raoul is an enthusiast, he took it positively. He had something to run from in the human world and took it as a chance for a new life. As a Cybertronian, he mainly began to master engineering as a specialty, although he definitely likes to have fun and play pranks.

Will u post on ao3?
Hi Anon! I don't really know if I'll post on ao3. I have an account there, but I didn't plan on posting anything there. However, there's really a lot of content on my Cyberform AU. So maybe I should think about it.
I literally have a plan for Lore Posts:
And that's not all of what's planned! Maybe later, when I have at least five main posts ready, then I'll start posting them on ao3. (There are literally two more posts left, in fact, before that amount). However, publishing there might be a bit difficult, but that's okay, I'll think of something.
And also, I think it's worth making a small announcement! Dear anons! You can address me as "Author", but my main nickname is "Sota"! But you can address me as you find it more convenient. Once again, I want to say that I am very glad for your interest! (sorry that there was no post yesterday, I was a little stuck at work, soon I will answer the questions you asked me)
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.

About the Cyberhumans AU! I like angst soooooooooooo
Does the transformation have any ¨negative¨ effects while is happening or after is completed? And do the transformed humans get to have the same life spam as Cybertronians?
hi
Hi Gelu! Thanks for the question, I'm glad you like my work! (Sorry I didn't answer then, I haven't published anything for a long time and I was a little embarrassed and awkward). So, to your question!
The answer is rather no than yes, namely physically there are no negative effects from cyberforming. As I wrote, everything that bothered a person in terms of health is cured before the change process (probably when the process of Cyberforming appeared in the culture of Cybertronians, they, based on the results obtained in the distant past, understood that sick organic species after cyberforming can suffer from phantom pains. Cybertronians live a long time, so imagine being doomed to suffer because of the disease of the past body. Obviously, those who created this process and tradition, developed it so that after infection at the first stage the body of the infected person would be cured, removing all things potentially dangerous to health and functionality).
There are no negative consequences after Cyberformation. Controlling the hull is intuitive for a person, but there may be some problems with controlling the wings, propellers, guns (for example, in tanks), or wheels instead of feet (like Nickel from IDW), of course, a person learns these features. For this, there is an adaptation stage under the guidance of mentors, to understand and adapt to new additions, usually the integration of all this occurs smoothly and former people quickly get used to the capabilities of their new bodies. Adaptation is aimed not only at ensuring that the cyberformed person joins the society of Cybertronians, but also so that he does not have embarrassments associated with his own hull. Some adapt faster than others, but this is purely individual, as for life spam …
Actually I'm not sure if I got it right, but if you mean by "life spam" something like programming and predispositions, then the answer is yes! They definitely get it, it can cause a more confused reaction from the former person (sometimes fear, believe me those with combat protocols were definitely shocked by the realization that they were a "killing machine"), however, it is like the second part of their new body, so they learn to live with it too. Will people who become seekers get a fear of enclosed spaces? More than yes. So it can cause discomfort. HOWEVER! However, I would not say that they have everything purely Cybertronian in terms of programming, in fact, to the surprise of the Autobots and Decepticons, the cyberformed received their unique features in memory of their homeland.
Former humans are like cryptids in some way, for Cybertronians. This is probably because no one had cyberformed organic representatives in such large numbers before, and it was not known about the unique traits that they inherit when moving into a new body. For example, all known "Earth" Seekers received a mark that they are a "night" type of Seeker. Now I will explain a little what this is, but the information is not complete since it is in the process of development (✨Exclusive✨).
"Night" seekers are more predisposed to the dark time of day and have no problems with direction in pitch darkness. Chip Chase and Alexis (bright representatives) are absolutely silent in flight, they have an additional lens under the main optics, which at night or in space becomes absolutely black, hiding the color of their optics. If Cybertronian seekers are similar to eagles, hawks, then earthly ones are more like owls! The black lens is specially created so that as much light radiation as possible gets into the light-sensitive receptors. Sometimes they can amusingly twist their heads like barn owls and other owls. Nevertheless, despite such a unique set of features, they still have the same problems as other seekers (fear of loneliness and isolation, fear of tight and closed spaces, etc.).
Other body types have their own characteristics, so for Cybertronians, former humans are a bit of a cryptid, but it's more of a curiosity and fun (there are probably some problems with these characteristics, but people overcome them, after all, they have a support group in the form of mentors and friends). In fact, each Cyberformed has become partly a field for study, because they took with them into their new life the characteristics from Earth that are most suitable for the new body (So to speak, a gift from our homeland to them for the purposes of "Evolution", the greatest gift of change and development for success and survival). So yes, Cyberformed people are unique in their nature, they still have the same life spam in the form of programming as other Cybertronians, but unique predispositions will probably make them act more inventively.
As for the problems of the Cybertronian community, well… Partially former humans are not subject to this. They do not discriminate on the basis of corpus or function at all, and those who try to apply this to the cyberformed usually receive a rather harsh response from their small community. In addition, for example, in the same Diego Garcia commune, a fairly multicultural environment has gathered, no one tolerates humiliation or discrimination in their direction and their community fiercely defends their own and the personal interests of their group.

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).

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.

The author, please tell me. Will Cody Burns be the first infected by his own bots? And what consequences will this have, and it seems to me that Frankie will understand that Cody got infected from bots (not immediately, of course) and tell his family, how will they treat bots after that?
Hi, Aly1234! Great question, I made the answer quite detailed, I hope you like it! Thanks!
Well… Cody was definitely not the first since the Autobot-human alliance began, but he was definitely one of the first on Griffin Rock. In fact, Chief Burns was the first, as strange as that may be.
The thing is, the Rescue Bots weren't too worried about humans at first, maybe because they had a long period of adaptation to the new conditions, learning the culture of the humans and returning to rescue work. After all, the bots were in stasis for a long time, everything was very new to them and they were coming to their senses. This doesn't mean that they weren't attentive to their partners, no, no, no. They were definitely caring, they just probably didn't think much about cyberforming their human friends. As I said, Cybertronians must be closely acquainted with those they do this to, this suggests that there is a strong bond between the person and the bot. Probably everything was more or less calm until the Burns Family apparently began to be attacked more than once by Dr. Morocco. And there were many obviously more dangerous moments threatening people's lives, even the Chief's words that "the work of rescuers is dangerous in itself" did not calm Heatwave and the others. Probably, this made the Bots nervous and think about cyberforming their comrades, for their own safety. And who would refuse another rescue team (when there are obviously not very many of them).
Chase was probably the first to think of cyberforming, and he probably suggested it to the other Rescue Bots. The team approached Optimus to get permission to cyberform their human comrades (they were pleasantly surprised to learn that it had already been used on other humans, so they may have even visited Diego Garcia to scout the conditions). Once permission was granted, Chief Burns was the first to be infected, followed by Cody, since the bots were simply quicker to get their consent (Chief was asked, "Do you want your family to be safe?", and Cody was asked about adventures and space… He obviously really likes space. He also seems to be the most trusted of the bots, so there's no doubt his permission was easy to get.)
Apparently, after Chief and Cody, the rest of the Burns Family were infected. Of course, this had consequences, because essentially the entire human rescue team dropped out of active missions. It is possible that the Burns Family participated in missions up until the end of the first stage of cyberformation. As soon as Charlie Burns showed symptoms of the second stage, he and the others were taken to Diego Garcia. And since once a person ends up there in the human world, he does not return, there were major consequences for the island. Apparently, Griffin Rock was left without rescuers, so the government allocated a team from another state, and the Rescue Bots continued their work. For the locals, the sudden disappearance of the entire family was explained by the fact that they had to undergo special training / advanced training and temporarily moved. Those who asked too many questions were either threatened or paid. You could say that Griffin Rock lost the family that lived there almost from the creation of the settlement. A little later, already in the form of Cybertronians, the Burnses visited their homeland, already as the Terra-1 rescue squad (Yes, they were given a designation similar to Sigma-17. The squad consists of 4 bots, since Cody works as a universal 911 operator. Nevertheless, he also participates in real rescue operations).
Of course Fransin will find out, but there is a chance that she, like Doc. Green and Professor Baranova, are already infected by this point, they just don't realize it yet; their infection happened later. (She could only notice that Cody was more active at stage one, but nothing more. Of course, she suspected that something was going on, watched closely and recorded her research in a personal journal, but she never saw the third stage to understand what exactly was going on). Obviously, after the Burns Family disappeared, she couldn't help but notice that all the data, reports, documents simply disappeared from the databases. As if they never existed. Is it suspicious? More than that, she told her father about it and it probably caused some misunderstanding of the situation. They didn't have time to get to the bottom of it when the family was sent to Diego Garcia to avoid problems and exposure (Government agents noticed their suspicious activity).
I think Doc Green is the second type of person, he listened to the bots and their arguments when it became obvious that he was also cyberforming… However, Fransin and Professor Baranova, well, it would be easy to say that they were angry, I think they were actually furious. Frankie reacted to this with anger capable of blowing up a volcano, how this was not reported, why the government just turned a blind eye. I think this is what pissed her off, that the public did not know that this could happen. She was very angry at the bots, not at Cody, although he felt guilty. Nevertheless, Frankie will cope, of course during the adaptation she was stubborn and irritable (she is open with her emotions, it's really cool), but she was calmed by the fact that she and her best friend would be together. Yes, a little different, but together. Later she would even become friends with other Autobot scientists, so everything went more or less. Professor Baranova suffered the worst of all; being torn away from her native world and her scientific achievements was a nightmare. She coped with the adaptation more slowly and only thanks to Doc Green and his support.
The Green family would have a pretty tense relationship with the Rescue Bots (they're more or less on good terms with the other Autobots, they were quickly drawn into the scientific community), they can work together, but there might be awkward hesitations or slight irritability (except Ezra, he's an enthusiast). The Burns family has adapted (though it wasn't easy), they have normal relationships with their Cybertronian colleagues and friends, although I think Cade is grumpy and grumpy (Heatwave version 2.0), and Dani definitely misses the mundane human things.

Warning: Attention: in this AU, all human allies of the Autobots are in the same universe (reality), for the sake of their psychological well-being.
The human government is not particularly happy about the fact that Cybertronians can change humans. It is quite logical that this scares them, fortunately the Autobots and Decepticons are not very inclined to cyberform just anyone.
In fact, the government was largely unaware of this until 1984 (or later) when Sparkplug and Spike were reported "disappearing" (that's right, they were the first). Also, the Autobots became more protective and closed during the disappearance period, not allowing human agents into part of the ARC. This behavior and unwanted questions created a couple of unpleasant incidents (Optimus was not very happy, he had to regulate the resulting friction and calm everyone down, although he knew what was going on). Later, when the "new bots" appeared for special agents and later the government, the puzzle came together. It was not difficult, since the former humans were still less accustomed to the new realities of their lives, they willingly used human terms, concepts and names. In addition, the Autobots began to request human items, such as pillows and blankets, the size of a Cybertronian. (All in the name of adaptation, so that it would be easier for a person to gradually get used to the new, plus old familiar things were gradually replaced with Cybertronian ones, a slow transition did not allow the former people to get nervous once again).
This was shocking, but it was decided to hide this information, firstly, not to cause panic among the public, and secondly, there were few cyberformed humans, it was easier to turn a blind eye to the disappearance of a couple of people than to question a politically (and not only) advantageous alliance. In addition, the government believed that it could use former people against the Autobots themselves in case of danger (later this resulted in an extremely unpleasant situation for the cyberformed, due to which they quickly left Earth and moved to Cybertron).
It was decided to give the Autobots another place for this process, so as not to disturb the agents and not to cause unnecessary conflicts (the protective nature of the Cybertronians at some stages was quite unpleasant for the joint work of people and bots).
Diego Garcia Island: It is a former military base, but it was completely given to the Autobots to develop it and keep the cyberformed away from the public eye until they are ready to keep their secret. And so that the cyberforming process does not traumatize other people who are not so close to the Cybertronians ("What is not there, does not exist / there are no witnesses, no victims" - said the human government and pointed towards the island).
If a human ally gets to the island, then a special department cleans up all paper or other sources about this person, erasing them from the system as if such a person never existed, since he will not return to the world of people. Sometimes you have to bribe people, but usually threats and money are enough to make them keep quiet. The old data that is not deleted is sent to the island for the cyberformed themselves.
On Diego Garcia, the Cyberform Commune was created, they have their own leader, a management system, they also work to preserve important cultural parts of their lives. In the commune, former humans undergo final processes and treatment (they receive support from those who have already gone through this). They receive an education from the Autobots and a profession if possible (if their human profession has a Cybertronian equivalent). The commune is mostly subordinate to Optimus and other high-ranking Autobots (they mostly do not participate in combat missions, the Autobots collectively decided that their comrades are not yet mentally ready for such things, although some enthusiasts show a desire to fight side by side. However, there are exceptions). Diego Garcia, in a way, serves as a support function for the Autobots, there is also a large laboratory with a medical bay.
In a way, Diego Garcia is practically a Cybertronian city, a small settlement by human standards. Access there is mainly through the air, a ship or a space bridge.

To understand what Cyberform AU is: Q&A1 Character List
Disclaimer: My AU has very specific multiverses for people from different Transformers realities (They all live in one world, and the Cybertronians are kind of a bit of everything, but I like the IDW designs the most, so let's assume everyone moved there). I did this on purpose, not only because it would be interesting to see how the characters interact, but also because there aren't that many people in each reality (In the Animeted, there are literally two or three, I don't know if Sari counts, she's technorganic). For the purposes of psychological support and protection of the cyberformed people and their healing, I made it so that they are all in one world and maintain a special community.
Bayverse: Sam Witwicky, Mikaela Banes, William Lennox (and his family), Robert Epps, Seymour Simmons, Cade Yeager, Tessa Yeager, Shane Dyson, Izabella.
G1: Sparkplug Witwicky, Spike Witwicky, Carly, Daniel Witwicky, Chip Chase, Raoul
Armada: Red, Alexis
Animated: Isaac Sumdac, Sari Sumdac
IDW: Verity Carlo
TFP:Burns Family (Charlie, Kade, Graham, Dani, Cody maybe Woodrow), Green Family (Doc. Green, Fransin, Professor Baranova, Sisi), June Darby, Jack Darby, Miko Nakaday, Rafael Esqivel, Agent William Fowler, Danny Clay, Russel Clay
Knightvers: Charlie Watson, Noah Diaz
These are all the people I will probably write (and draw) more often than others. Of course, not all human characters from the show and comics are here, there are quite a lot of people in the same IDW, but I am mostly familiar with Verity (and only because I read all the comics about the Wreckers). For most of the people on this list, I have an approximate design of their Cybertronian appearance, a little history of how their cyberformation process took place (as well as who donated nanites and who became a curator), I will make links to the characters as the description and design process goes on (more convenient navigation, if you are interested in a specific character and his design with a little history, you can click and get the post!).
Oh, I almost forgot, a micro list of those who were subjected to Decepticon nanites: – William Lennox, Robert Epps, Mikaela Banes, Chip Chase, Alexis, Isaac Sumdac, June Darby, Rafael Esqivel.
(If you are interested in a character that is not on the list, I can still answer your question.)
To understand what Cyberform AU is: Part 1 Part 2 Q&A1
how do humans who get cyberformed usally react to finding out what their cybertronian freind is doing to them?
the reaction guess is probably different from person to person but what usally happens?
Hi Anon! (Thanks for the question, I'm so glad!)
In fact, the reaction of different people is really extremely diverse, but all this can be combined into "five stages of acceptance".
It's not that there are five of them, basically there are only three reactions and they depend on whether the person had anything to lose in life, what kind of relationship he had with his parents and other factors.
The initial reaction of those who react to their situation is extremely aggressive. Anger, misunderstanding, confusion, all of it is deeply entwined in their chest, pressing like a weight and intensifying with pain. They do not understand why their cybertronian friend and trusted comrade decided to do this to them, they cannot accept reality for some time and deny what is happening (deny the situation). For the most part, this is the reaction of those who have families, or those who see that they had a duty to "humanity", or those who are afraid of leaving behind their achievements (in my AU, however, the cyberformed later face alienation from their former human brothers). People who initially flare up with anger are simply going through the five stages of acceptance of the situation. From deep denial and disbelief (lasts a short period of time), a furious outburst (anger), an attempt to understand whether it is possible to reverse the process (bargaining), numbness (depression) and then acceptance of the situation, an attempt to get used to the new reality (resignation). Adaptation is difficult for such people, they can be stubborn, flare up with irritation, as a rule, their Cybertronian friends provide support, knowing that it is difficult and unusual for them. It is because of them, for the most part, that Cybertronians try to unite the cyberformed into groups, thinking that this will help them come to terms faster and accept the idea that everything is not so scary, because next to them there are friends and those who have gone through the same process.
The second reaction, those who are confused, but mostly calm. I wrote in the "Second Part" that usually these are the people who tend to be more observant, they are calm and attentive in themselves. They understand what is happening earlier, they may have a flash of misunderstanding at the beginning (a short quick anger), but such people are more inclined to listen to their Cybertronian friend. To understand what exactly prompted him to act this way. Of course, they can be irritated or sad for some time, but resignation to the situation comes faster for them. Usually people with such a reaction can be stubborn for some time in adapting to the Cybertronian society, but their way out is studying sciences and professions. The feeling of order and consistency calms them down, and the support of Cybertronian friends gives them time to accept life in a new way at their own pace (some of these people are deeply inspired by the idea of exploring everything in a new, more advanced way, as a rule, they are flexible in their thoughts)
The third reaction, enthusiasts in general. They may seem frivolous in their joy of becoming a Cybertronian, even if it means going through pain. However, these are the ones who know that they had nothing more to lose in their previous human life, or, on the contrary, they are running away from the life they had. For them, becoming a Cybertronian = starting life from scratch. Being yourself and not being ashamed of your character, not being constrained by rules, traditions or other things. Probably, the number of people with the third reaction includes those whose life has been permeated with Cybertronian culture and bots since childhood (and there are such, for example, like Daniel). In the case of this group, adaptation occurs so quickly and naturally that they rush to soften the reactions of the first group and help the second to reveal themselves.
Usually, Cybertronians take the cyberforming human to a safe place, they have one (at least for the Autobots, rest in peace to those chosen by the Decepticons). There, the former humans are surrounded not only by safety and security, but also by support from other cyberformers and their guardians and friends. I will write about this place later, as it is important for understanding both the reaction of the human government and the place that the former humans themselves have taken in the world.
That's all, just three categories, of course it all depends on the person and a little later I'll make a post with a list of characters that are present in this AU. If you want to know how this or that character reacted, you can write to me, I'll be happy to answer :).
Part 3 Character List
Warning: this post was created in collaboration with my friend who is studying to become a doctor, so there are unpleasant descriptions. If you are sensitive to themes of blood, pain and body horror, better not read (I'm serious guys, this is not for the soul of a delicate organization. I love you, so I warn you)
As I wrote in the previous post, the first stage is essentially the easiest. It is more of a cultural aspect and tradition, in which the Cybertronian gets consent from the person (or other organic being) of his choice. (In my opinion, the process of cyberforming representatives of organic species was formed during the time of Cybertron's space expansions. And although not many representatives underwent this, the tradition was recorded and accepted).
It is assumed that the Cybertronian knows the person well in order to guide him through this process. To some extent, the organic must be "worthy" of this, for outstanding deeds this can be either a desire to fight on the side of the Cybertronian, or simply unique skills such as intelligence, leadership, courage and much more. It is considered strange to make a complete stranger a part of your people.
The Cybertronian hides his question about joining with something that is probably of interest to his friend. Having received consent, he acts, starting to treat the person with food, in which nanites are added.
– Nanites in the infection stage are aimed at infecting bone marrow (various hematopoietic shoots) – Capture by the human immune system (then the body does not perceive nanites as foreign particles, it perceives them as parts of itself) – The blood shows a picture of acute leukemia (while the immune system and bone marrow are absorbing and capturing it)
At this stage, everything is quite harmless, in fact, the person does not feel any negative reactions from what is happening to him. The person may not realize that in principle something has changed.
The Cybertronian who is taking his friend through this becomes more protective, monitors the proper nutrition and sleep patterns of the ward. He also informs other willing Cybertronians (not enemies, but allies, of course) that they can participate by donating their nanites (besides, it looks less suspicious that several bots are taking care of their human friend).
The person noticeably feels healthier and more active, since the nanites improve the body for the subsequent stages. This is necessary so that there are no negative consequences for the health of the new body. This stage can last from 2-3 months, depending on the state of health of the person.
— Blood will be normal (the picture of acute leukemia disappears) + improvement of well-being (masking) — Autoimmune diseases and other illnesses no longer bother a person, nanites work to improve the body. A person can be faster and more active during this period. — Decreased hormone levels, minus vitamins and macronutrients — Disappearance of menstruation
At this stage, the person begins to feel the effects of nanites on their body. The person still retains mobility, but may feel discomfort and tire quickly. During this period, care from a fellow Cybertronian is especially appreciated, as the person thinks that he is sick. Cybertronians give metals and energon, carefully hiding or disguising them (necessary for further development).
It is obvious that deterioration in health can be noticed by other people who are not very connected with Cybertronians, attempts at outside help will be perceived slightly negatively (an understatement). The Transformer knows what is happening and will be against human doctors trying to treat it, so they become more aggressive, territorial. They claim that they are able to help their ally and drive human doctors away so that their actions are not revealed.
The person spends most of the time at the base under the care of his Cybertronian friend. He usually tries to carefully prepare the person for the last painful stage, calming him down in various ways and preparing a comfort zone.
– Fatigue, weakness, lethargy, headaches appear (asthenic syndrome) – Spark formation - damage to the heart and chest – The first stage of cyberforming the brain into a processor – Pain in the heart area and pain in the joints – Potassium and calcium (rest in peace) – Change in diet (distortion of taste preferences) + lack of urination – There is practically no blood under the microscope.
At this stage, the Cybertronian usually isolates the person from other representatives of his species in a safe, closed and comfortable place. Due to the pain, the person is immobile, lying down most of the time. Obviously, he is afraid, reaches out to the one who provides him with comfort and is completely dumbfounded. The Cybertronians continue to give metals and energon, which are necessary for the human body at this stage (human food is no longer suitable and is not given).
Around this time, the cyberforming person begins to think that everything is happening in a strange sequence. People who stand out for their intelligence and logic usually understand what is happening at the second stage, this can lead to a quarrel with a friend and subsequent resignation to the situation (the process cannot be reversed).
The person does not have the strength to fight what is happening, he completely needs care and depends on the Cybertronian. People who are not close to the Cybertronians obviously keep their distance from them, so as not to injure either them or the cyberforming ones. The person "magically" disappears from the public eye, so to speak.
— Cramps, joint pain, fever — Mental disorders (phantom sensations) — Cyberformation of the intestinal tube (intestines, esophagus, etc.), teeth, the second stage of transformation of the brain into a processor. — The exit of unnecessary organs through organs through natural openings, what cannot exit is devoured by nanites and divided into necessary elements (minus: liver, kidneys, pancreas and much more). The skin changes color. — Vision problems appear due to the formation of the processor (cyberformation in optics) — By this stage, the person is blind, deaf and dumb (a doctor friend said that the person goes crazy from this, so the Cybertronians rush to transfer the person to another place for the last stage)
The person is moved to a safe, protected area under the supervision of Cybertronian doctors, where there are all the necessary materials for the final stage. As a rule, the person does not remember this stage, he is in a state of sleep, very comfortable. Under the care and attention of doctors, he has nothing to fear.
Although there may be a kind of competition between Cybertronians (up to a fight), who exactly will be the subsequent guardian of the cyberformed. Even someone who did not donate their nanites can become a guardian, but this is usually not allowed (a person must trust his guardian, so that later it is easier to integrate into the society of bots).
- Moving a person into an environment saturated with energon, in the process a flask with energon + cybertronian metals are added (if they are absent - earthly alternatives) - Exoskeleton growth, armor formation (flasks change during growth) - Formation of the body according to the individual characteristics of the future Cybertronian (considered "forged") - Completion of the formation of the brain module, processor (Completion of all processes of cyberformation of organs. Eyes = Optics, Ears = Audio sensors, etc.) - Safe incubation - The person does not remember the stage of blindness, deafness, dumbness and the feeling of discomfort from the process.
Awakening: – The cyberformed one wakes up when he becomes a full-fledged bot, the first one he sees will be his guardian (Here, as with ducklings, the first parent, friend, relative seen. The main thing is that the person mostly trusts this Cybertronian, then the process of integration and socialization into the society of bots is simpler).

Q&A1
I want to hear more about your cyberformed au
Oh, I'm writing the second part! There are a lot of medical terms. Since English is not my native language, the translation takes some time👉👈
But I'm thrilled that you're interested! I have so many ideas✨
So what is my cyberform au? It's really a simple "Humans into Cybertronians" trope at its core. It's no secret that from show to show (comics maybe too, but I only remember one person from there) that transformers form bonds with humans.
Humans become an integral part of the bot's life, and the same thing works the other way around (just remember that many of the humans in the show met Cybertronians at a young age, the impact on their lives must be colossal). In many headcanons I see that the bots seem to forget that humans have a much shorter lifespan than their own, but I don't think that's the case. Transformers have a lot of memory and they probably understand better that their human friends and comrades are extremely vulnerable due to their organic bodies. If a bot is especially attached to its companion, this can cause stress (Just think that Bumblebee from all the shows is the same Bee and remember how many human friends he had: Sam, Spike, Sari, Raf and Charlie. Poor Bumblebee).
Humans are cyberformed due to the patronage of Cybertronians.
Their comrades/friends/mentors/enemies are sure that this is like caring for their less fortunate comrades in life expectancy. Decepticons perceive this as an investment in their own small species. The war has exhausted both sides, exhausted the number of bots, to restore Cybertron, bots will be needed that are full of strength, without harmful effects on their bodies, and people after cyberformation have this quality. They have a pure mind and their own internal potential for development. However, the Decepticons are too selective, they do not consider rewarding the left person to be their duty, that is why they look closely at the existing allies of the Autobots (Soundwave and Rafael, Lennox and Megatron, Alexis and Starscream).
The Autobots see more in people (you know "More than meets the eye"), they spend time to consider it and get to know humanity better, while the Decepticons already get what they have. People show themselves in the fight against them, this is a pretty big mistake, because they really value inner strength of spirit, as it seems to me.
In the end, the Cybertronians leave their nanites in the people they choose, infecting them, rather not obviously, since this can cause fear, rejection. Before infecting the chosen person, the transformer must get his consent. Bots naturally do not ask directly, they can rather ask the question "Would you like to see space?" or something similar, based on the interests of the person. As soon as the ward agrees, the transformer will calm down mentally and start giving him nanites. Everything is done secretly, the Cybertronian in his care begins to feed the person snacks or full-fledged food, the treat tastes slightly like pomegranate juice and much more. Of course, if the food has a rich taste, then the person will not feel the difference (the products have a rich taste of metals, not blood but something more favorable). Decepticons do it less gently, from which the person may think that he is being tortured - "We are doing this for your good, flesh, calm down." The only moment among the Decepticons Soundwave, thanks to his telepathic abilities, it is not difficult for him to make his objects of interest behave more submissively and give them everything they need without resistance (Because of this, people infected by him can behave sluggishly for some time and think that they are sick, not remembering that Soundwave fed them nanites)
The donation of nanites must occur regularly (several bots can participate in this), so that the process of cyberformation is fueled for the next stages.
It is similar to an infection that gradually changes the human body, at first glance it is not noticeable until the transformation reaches the middle of the stage. In the next post I will tell you about the stages of cyberformation.
By the way, depending on who was the donor of nanites in most cases depends on what transport mode the newly-made Cybertronian (former human) will have.

“So who was your rival?”
Soundwave displayed a question mark on his visor. Miko rolled her eyes.
“You know! Breakdown and Bulkhead were rivals. Megatron and Optimus were rivals. So were ‘Cee and Screamer for a while, though I think Airachnid was her rival for longer. Wheeljack and Dreadwing might have been rivals too. So who’s your rival?”
“Soundwave: not petty enough to have a rival.”
“Oh, humor the kid,” Wheeljack said from across the room. “Which ‘Bot did you feel was closest to being your equal? Or maybe the one you disliked the most?”
“Disliked: Blaster.” He displayed an image of the mech on his visor for the children. “Dangerous: Jazz.” He showed an image of him too. “Rafael.” An image of the boy popped up.
The real boy blushed. “Me?”
“Rafael: skilled.”
“Wow, kid, write this one down for Archives. One of the biggest baddest ‘Cons thinks you’re dangerous.” Wheeljack said.
“What about me?” Miko asked.
“Miko: terrifying.”
The small girl fist pumped and ran out of the room shouting, “Hey, Bulkhead, guess what!”
Wheeljack gave Soundwave a sidelong look. “You also used that word to Frenzy and Rumble.”
Soundwave nodded. “Pure untamed chaos.” He played a clip of the twin minicons laughing maniacally. “Primus save us.”
okay i can't draw cause I'm on my crazy ahh period but I can do memes with my favourite bitch couple
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?
Um....Idk what to say so...here a video (p3) :)
•also the artist in the 8th video is (@)grendpated
Kinda bored so I make this video for fun (p1)
It's quite fun to make this kind of video so I decide to make another one :) (this is part 2 btw)
I think I need more content like this🔥

Have you been missing the spring vibes lately? Then she rushes to you with a bouquet of flowers! In general, I haven’t drawn animals for a long time, I wanted to please my friend and that’s why I drew her character. Feneca Gabi.
Look at my girl! Thank you❤✨🌺
Commission from TG
🔥Hello~🔥
"Found Family" is the best trope that exists. When I have time, I'll draw all the characters from One Piece with this trope.
Well, you know? Wano is over 😭
It doesn't matter if he's small or not, Garp will still do what he wants and sometimes make Bogard angry. It seems to me that if Bogard had been a tontatta, it would have been more difficult for Garp to evade responsibility. Who checks their pockets thinking there is a spare cookie in them?
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.👉👈
