[Here is part 1 and part 2 of this idea. Please read both of these before continuing on.]
He didn't even register this fist slamming into Starscream's face until he hear the jet's back slam into the wall behind him. As the sound reverberated in Megatron's audials, he could only stare in horror as he watched Starscream pick himself back up and bring a hand to his face, energon coating his digits. Megatron took a step forward, his anger quickly fading away into horror as he realized what he'd just done. He reached out, an apology on his lips. "Starscream, I.." Starscream only turned away, his expression was morphed into one that the ex-warlord had been unable to properly decipher in the moment. Starscream just let out a heavy vent and returned to laying on the berth in the brig, quietly speaking one last time. "It's just as I thought... you'll never change... just leave me alone. Let me rust away in peace." Megatron felt himself at a loss for words, all he could bring himself to do was comply with Starscream's demands and leave him in the brig. The words uttered by his former second in command, digging their way into his spark. As Megatron left the brig and made his way to the main deck of the ship, he was left coming to terms with all the events that had just transpired. His gaze rested upon his fist, his tanks churning when he saw the faint traces of Starscream's energon on his knuckles. One thing that didn't add up to Megatron had been Starscream's expression. The jet's expression was not one of smug pride that he got under Megatron's plating again, it wasn't one that was happy to be right about his former leader's attempts to atone... no. Starscream's expression had been one of disappointment and slight bitterness. Megatron continued to walk, thinking about the entire interaction that would have brought reason for Starscream making such an expression. He stopped in his tracks when he finally realized it. 'Bots like us don't change... anyone that says so is fooling themself.' Starscream wanted to be wrong, wanted what he said to not be true. He wanted Megatron to be a changed bot, because if he was then it meant Starscream's belief in being unable to change was false. If Megatron was capable of changing, capable of not lashing out at Starscream's responses, then he would have proven Starscream wrong... and that in turn would have led Starscream to believe there was hope for him to be capable of changing too. To be more than Starscream the duplicitous backstabber. But Megatron reacted with violence towards Starscream again, and to Starscream that was enough to believe that there was no hope for either of them. Megatron never felt more defeated.
[Click here to read the first part to this idea]
When Megatron enters Starscream's cell, he only briefly gets the other's attention before a bitter laugh escapes the jet. "Well if this isn't a familiar scenario..." Megatron doesn't find the humor in it. "You've holed yourself away again, Starscream." Starscream could only weakly scoff in turn, his once pristine frame creaked with rust as he moved. "And I suppose you're here to beat me within an inch of my life again... to tell me what a miserable failure I am as a leader. So cut whatever righteous speech you have planned and let's just get it over with." Megatron was taken aback, so Starscream still expected to be beaten. He didn't think the former Decepticon leader was capable of being good, of being redeemed. Something about this fact made Megatron's tanks churn as he continued to talk, his voice soft and gentle as he spoke to Starscream. "Do you really believe I am still the same person I was before?" There was just something about this scenario that made Megatron crave Starscream acknowledging his change. Megatron couldn't quite pin down why it felt so important to him that Starscream would see he was no longer the tyrant of their past. He wanted Starscream to look upon him and see that change. But Starscream never looked over at him like that, and instead he let out a mocking laugh. It didn't sound like most of Starscream's usual laughs though, this one sounded strained as he shook his head and covered his face as he finally turned to face the man behind all of his abuse and pain. His lips were twisted into a mix between a snarl and a grin, his sharp denta glinted slightly in the low-light of the brig's holding cell. "Oh save it Lord Megatron. I know that deep down, you don't believe you're worthy enough for that badge on your chest. Bots like us don't change... anyone that says so is fooling themself." A sharp digit pointing towards the red Autobot badge on Megatron's chest. He was angry to relent that Starscream was right, despite everything he'd done aboard the Lost Light, Megatron still didn't believe himself worthy of wearing the badge. He felt old rage begin to bubble back up to the surface, Starscream had that influence on people. He always seemed capable of reading a bot and being able to pick at a scab that never seemed to heal right. No matter how much time had passed, Starscream always seemed to know what ate away at Megatron's spark. He never seemed to shut up once he found it either. But he wouldn't let Starscream get under his plating, not this time. Not even when every fibre of Megatron's being wanted to punch the other in the mouth. He was better than that now, he would prove that to Starscream once and for all. And ever observant, Starscream pointed out the larger bot's tension and gestured to Megatron's entire being. "You forget, we fought together for millions of years. Even now I can tell the minute details of your body language, I can see you wish to punch me. To beat me and have me screaming for mercy, well no more. I'm tired, so either get your catharsis in, or let the rust eat away at me. I. Don't. Care." Megatron continued to tell himself, that Starscream couldn't get under his plating anymore. He wasn't the same bot that Starscream knew from before. He was better now.
"Even that lousy Bee knew I was a lost cause... not even he was as delusional." Everything seemed to stop for Megatron there, it was one thing for Starscream to badmouth him; it wasn't anything that the ex-warlord hadn't heard before. But now Starscream was mocking the memory of the kind autobot that Megatron was proud to call his friend, the bot primarily responsible for Megatron seeing the faults in his actions! That was taking it too far. [Tumblr is not happy about the size of this idea, lemme split it up again.] [Part 3]
I keep imagining what could have been if like IDW Starscream, ruler of Cybertron, lost his leadership position earlier on and his sentencing was to join Megatron on the Lost Light. The idea from the new leadership on Cybertron is that Megatron would get rid of Starscream and so they could just kill two birds with one stone. Starscream lingers mostly to the more isolated parts of the ship, barely interacting with anyone, but somehow always being dragged to the brig for something going wrong on the ship. It gets to the point where Starscream doesn't even come out of the brig holding cells when it's offered to him, he just wants them to leave him there to rust. Of course that information is quick to make it back to Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, and Megatron. They're a mix of trying to figure out what to do in this situation. Rodimus I could see him either being a-ok with Starscream staying there or he could believe they need to work at Starscream since Megatron was just as bad as Starscream and he turned out okay, Ultra Magnus is more on the 'leave him there' side given Starscream's criminal record, but Megatron is mixed about what to do. Megatron doesn't enjoy Starscream being on the ship, being in the space that he managed to make for himself and finally begin to work on himself. But he also knows that he himself wasn't good to Starscream and feels a sense of deja-vu hit him when he hears from Ravage that Starscream is self-isolating and wasting away. Similar to all those years ago when Starscream led the Decepticons for 3 years only for the crew to resort to cannibalism. It's a chance for Megatron to do the same situation, but differently. To show Starscream that the ex-warlord has changed. So Megatron goes to the brig and decides to speak with Starscream alone. [Sorry but this idea became too big for a single post, I'll link the second part which is the little snippet I wrote for this.]
[Part 2]
To be a King means to drown in the blood of your people.
To be a Soldier means to drown in the blood of your comrades.
And to be a Poet means to drown in your own blood.
I have done all three, my hands have never once been clean.
A little piece I made because I couldn’t get the imagery of Starscream standing in a pool of energon out of my head haha. I feel as though I could have done better tho so maybe I’ll redraw it again sometime in the future haha!
What happens when you’re out on your ass, looking where your life went wrong…
And you come to the conclusion that you’ll always be alone because if you don’t lose your loved ones in accidents, you make them hate you enough to hurt you, or you hurt them yourself.
You lay there, laying in your energon, battered and bloody. And you realize…
You’re alone again.
So yeah! Made this and I hope you like it! This isn’t a vent, it’s simply something I made after listening to “Chamber of Reflection”
I posted this on my Twitter but forgot to post it here lol!
So here’s a late Warp Wednesday piece I made of our boi Skywarp! I’ll prolly try to post a few more things tomorrow after my driving lesson but here ya go!
Also sorry to those who followed me for my Eddsworld posts, I have burn out for that fandom at the moment and I’m currently in Transformers hard so please don’t be mad that my Eddsworld fics stopped updating QwQ
Drown yourself in Synth-En
A piece I made that was inspired by the Synthetic Energon in Transformers Prime. I then used my own version of Ratchet, who is drowning in a horror of his own making.
So Shattered Glass is a thing for Transformers, who doesn’t love a good old alternate universe where the bad guys are good and vice versa.
And the color pallets don’t need to be the same thing either! We get some nice different color schemes that fit the characters new personalities!
We got Starscream, his colors being swapped out for Sky/Jetfire’s colors very nice very nice! It’s also very fitting with his character, it’s simple and sleek just like him!
Next is Skywarp! Also very nice! It feels a lot like a slightly darker Thundercracker color scheme, it’s dark but not dark compared to his original design. I like it! Very nice!
Now what about Thundercracker? Surely after two banger designs, the third member of this iconic trine would get a color scheme as good as these tw-!
……. Thundercracker…. What have they done?
Seriously! The poor boy looks like they threw every gaudy color at him! It doesn’t even feel coherent! It’s how I would have colored an OC back when I was 5…
This boy needed some help, I ranted about this to both friends and family, how Thundercracker was robbed of a good color swap and also THEY KEPT HIS OPTICS RED!! Every other Decepticon with red optics had theirs changed to blue! And sure! The 2021 comic made his blue, but now his optics just blend into his blue face and every other promotional image I’ve seen of him he has red optics! Ughhhh
With this rant in my head refusing to let me sleep, I challenged myself. I drew Thundercracker twice. One version was that I kept the same colors as his current design and try to see if I could make it more appealing to my tastes, the second version was what I would have chosen if I had been in charge of Thundercracker’s SG coloration.
Keep in mind though, I had colored these in with copic markers, so the colors may not be accurate for the first version.
So yeah! That’s my take on SG! Thundercracker. I know that it’s a weird thing to get upset about, I just can’t stand poor Thundercracker being done dirty by such a gaudy color scheme. If you like his original color scheme for SG then more power to you! It was just not my cup of tea.
So someone posted screenshots of Starscream's more recent appearances in Earthspark, I found it funny and decided "Hey, lemme just add in some relatable text because I find myself relating hard to Starscream."
So yeah, here you go!
Also, bonus: This man's fucking face.
I emerged back from the dead, not with Eddsworld (sorry fam) but with Transformers!!
I am a total sucker for Transformers, especially with G1. The potential for storylines is so beautiful, especially for Starscream’s character development. He’s a queen, I love him lol.
As for the other writing and the logos on Skyfire and Starscream, I thought it would be interesting if they had NASA style logos from when they were scientists. So I came up with this symbol and name!
YES
I’ve gone deep into the “human turned cybertronian” rabbit hole to the point it makes me wanna write my own snippets… but when I try to watch the Bayverse movies I can not for the life of me focus on the movie. I also retain none of the lore when the movies over.
Also how come there are like no human to transformer fanfics that include Charlie?
Someone turn that girl that into a little car that bumblebee will guard with his life
What if B-127 DID lose his voice in the movie
Been watching the movie and this thought came to me
:3
What if… B-127 did lose his voice in the movie?
What if… it wasn’t Megatron who took his voice?
What if… Sentinel was the one who took his voice?
When B-127 and D-16 were captured by Sentinel. They were mocked at by Sentinel and when D-16 talked back to him and Sentinel was about to hurt him, Bee stepped in…
He yelled at Sentinel to stop and that he was a monster, that everyone will know what he is. A false Prime and that they will tell everyone.
Sentinel laughs at him, saying who will believe them?
Believe him? Over the mighty Sentinel Prime?
Ha, what a joke!
Bee doesn’t care, he will tell anyone and everyone no matter if they believe him. Because if someone believes him, just one. Cog less or not, someone will.
Sentinel hearing this, does realize that can happen. Even if Bee isn’t the one who does it, it could be someone of the high guard, or someone else who could find out about what Sentinel has been doing.
So… Sentinel decides to… send a message, show them what will happen if they even think about telling someone, it’s a message to everyone in that room.
Sentinel agrees with Bee, that someone could believe him or anyone else that found out, so he’ll make sure that doesn’t happen…
a precaution you could say.
Sentinel grabs B-127 by the throat raising him above the ground.
D-16, watching this happen, his rage is replaced with fear… for B-127. He yells at Sentinel,
“Stop! What you doing!! Let him go!!!”
B-127 is terrified, he’s frantically asking what Sentinel is doing as he struggles against his hold.
“I’m making sure that you or anyone else can say anything about what you know, because you’re right someone might believe you… and I can’t let that happen.”
Sentinel stabs his hand into Bee’s throat. Sparks fly everywhere as Bee lets out a blood curdling scream, begging for him to stop, his voice glitching in and out in pain.
D-16 screams at Sentinel, begging him to stop.
Before he didn’t care if he got hurt but now Bee is taking the fall for him.
D-16 didn’t want this to happen, the only reason this is happening is because Bee wanted to make sure D-16 didn’t get hurt.
And it worked, it worked all too well.
This feeling of pain feels like it will a thousand cycles… all Bee wants is for the pain to stop, this pain is nothing like anything he’s ever experienced.
Sentinel pulls out Bee’s voice box, sparks fly everywhere as he holds it in his hands.
Sentinel smirks, crushing it in his hands. Dropping B-127 to the ground.
“This, is what will happen to those who don’t know how to keep their mouth shut.”
“Bee!!! Are you okay? Bee?!”
B-127 tries to talk to D-16, but what comes out is painful noises of what used to be his voice.
“Come on Bee, say something!!”
Silence…
When D-16 first met Bee, he wished for silence…
While traveling with him to find the Matrix, he wished for silence…
When captured by the high guard, he wished for silence…
But now… all D-16 wanted was to hear his voice…
The silence he wished for was far louder than when Bee talked for hours.
The silence had never been so loud before….
•w• 🐝
I know I said in my post that the miners used to have a long-running bet about whether Orion Pax and D-16 would go through Conjunx Endura or Amica Endura ritual. And it's too funny to not elaborate.
The bet happens among miners on the same floor as Orion and Dee in the miner dormitory. The two are easy to recognize because:
Dee is known to be one of the best miners,
Orion is known to get into trouble first thing in the morning (as shown by the annoyed "Again" by one of the background characters when he landed on the train), and
they're always seen together.
Now, on to the bet. It started as a joke:
Some think Dee could do better for a mate and bet on Amica Endura (a bot can dream).
Others believe there's a reason Dee still hangs out with Orion even when Orion doesn't care about getting into trouble and bets on Conjunx Endura.
Jazz bets 3 to 1 that whichever ritual, it's Dee who would initiate first because he has a "more steady rhythm" than Orion's beat.
Elita-1, even if she's not in the same dormitory floor, knows about the bet because they're on the same team. She retorted it would be a million years before something ever happens between those two gobots.
Prowler thinks they'd eventually separate due to differences but doesn't bet. Sadly, this happened, which would've ended the bet.
But when the war with the Decepticons came, the bet was forgotten. They know Dee. They can't joke about it anymore, knowing he became their strongest enemy now.
But, oh, after MILLIONS of years, the Autobots and Decepticons are coming home to Cybertron for a common cause. The peace agreement was tentative at best. But slowly, they began adapting a pattern of norm.
Then, the autobot who had kept the record of bets stumbled upon their old belongings.
It only took one mention to the other Autobots before the stupid bet came back with full force on their now co-leaders.
B-127, now Bumblebee, finds out about the bet and says he bets they would be happy either way. (It's a wonder he hadn't accidentally blabbed it to Optimus yet)
Ratchet finds out about the bet. With a disapproving air, he declares, "I bet Optimus Prime would do the wise thing and go through Amica Endura first—is what I would say but knowing him..." he slaps a couple of shanix on the table, "20 to 1 odds he'd proposed first to that buckethead."
Optimus Prime felt a difference in their political meetings where they have to negotiate with Megatron and the Decepticons but he appreciates the newfound interest.
The Decepticons caught on to the bet.
Starscream surprisingly refuses to participate, but jeers that he bets Optimus would die from some self-sacrificial shit and Megatron would die from loneliness 3 cycles later.
The lull of the end of the Decepticon meetings are subtly taken as opportunity by some Seekers to know what's Megatron's thoughts on commitment.
Megatron is suspicious that they're up to something, but as long as they keep their nose cones clean, there wouldn't be any repurcussions.
(I'm sorry I'm not as familiar with other Autobots and Decepticons. Feel free to say what you'd think said characters would bet on👍)
The Consort of Peace
A Wang Zhaojun Megop AU
[Part 1]
On horseback playing winds and strings headed to Yin Mountain.
Orion watched through the gap in the sliding door behind which he stayed securely hidden as he entered Sentinel Prime’s throne room. He approached Iacon’s emperor with, who the hidden concubine assumed to be, two of his commanders. To his left a broad-chested attendant, his faceplate hidden behind a thick iron mask and his optics concealed by a pair of burning red visors. His emotions unseen and unreadable unlike the other attendant flanking him. A shorter crimson seeker with a devilish yet self-assured grin resting on his lips, as if this was all a mere shadow play to him.
Orion observed with bated breath as he and his retinue knelt down before Sentinel Prime while looking straight at the gold-and-blue coloured emperor, never averting his glance even once. An act of utter audacity and disrespect like that would usually lead to direct imprisonment at best or execution at worst and yet… His red optics glared at Sentinel as if he were trying to say “Try me. I dare you”.
The concubine had heard and read many stories of him over the years. He was known by many names and titles. The barbarian, the tyrant, the invader, the grey nightmare, the one who dwells on the planet’s surface, the ruthless Deception leader.
Megatron.
"I am pleased to see you, Megatron.” Sentinel greeted the visitor with a sickly sweet smile that was about as authentic as the jade pearls he had gifted to one of his lower ranking concubines earlier that day “So you have decided to take me up on my gracious offer for peace?”
“Don’t pat yourself on the back too much, Sentinel.” Megatron retorted.
No honorific, no title of Prime added at the end. Addressing the emperor only by his first name. Orion thought, a servo placed over his mouth in shock over the visitor’s shameless temerity. The tyrant must either be stupid, blissfully unaware to court manners or view Sentinel Prime beneath himself. Or an unhealthy combination of all three.
"We both know that you would happily attack, chase and terrorise me and my men for another hundred vorns if it weren’t for…”
The Decepticon leader continued, a whirring servo reaching towards his masked attendant, his optics still fixated on the emperor. Orion squinted as he saw the barbarian’s cobalt follower gently hand his lord… something. Something that shone bright and clearly with the colour of freshly mined energon.
“… this!” Megatron continued where he had left off. A tiny, almost unnoticed smirk forming in the corners of the grey mech’s mouth as he was now proudly presenting the mystery-thingamabob right into Sentinel Prime’s face.
Datapads?
Orion’s brow ridges furrowed as he saw Sentinel Prime’s entire frame stiffen and his eyes bulgen at the sight of the datapads.
Is the barbarian… blackmailing the emperor?
Orion, now even more intrigued than before, pressed his face plate against the sliding door’s gap in hopes to get a better look at the happenings inside the throne room.
The emperor shot up from his seat grabbing the datapads in the Decepticon leader’s servo before plummeting down onto the dragon throne once again. Sentinel Prime’s blown optics flicked rapidly over the datapads’ contents, his lips pressed together into a thin line, yet Orion could have sworn he saw them quiver nervously ever so slightly.
“Heh… So you truly have kept these books from me for all these millennia. But…” Sentinel tossed the datapads back at Megatron’s peds “There is no way these are all of the books. Right?”
“The motherload is securely with my men on the surface of Cybertron. What? You didn’t seriously believe I’d bring every single one of these books with me to our peace treaty talks, did you Prime?” The invader spat the emperor’s title out like it was an insult, his optics glowering at the imperial mech with flaming yet unspoken hate.
Sentinel’s servos gripped the arm rest of his throne tightly at Megatron undermining his intelligence, returning an equally hate-filled scowl at the tyrant. Orion was certain he heard a tiny crack of the throne’s arm rests getting dented by the sheer force of Sentinel’s clutches. The Prime clenched his optics shut and took a deep breath. His grip finally showed some mercy upon the poor throne and that sham of a smile returned to the emperor's facial plate.
"Of course not, esteemed guest of mine." Sentinel Prime chirped "In fact, I would prefer it if you kept these books with you on the planet surface. Far, far, far away from any prying eyes and most importantly from the eyes of Iacon’s citizens."
"You want us to keep the books? I am surprised you are not ordering me and my men to hand them over to you in a nice bow so you can personally burn every last one of them." The barbarian answered, a brow ridge raised in scepticism.
"This is a peace treaty meeting, is it not?" Sentinel Prime answered nonchalantly, his chin resting on one of his servos "Meaning, in order to find an agreement we both have to make some sacrifices and compromises. For the sake of peace." the word peace rolling off Sentinel's tongue like honey. As if the uttering the mere word were an irresistable bait used by hunters to catch their prey.
"Very well. So we keep these" Megatron picked up one of the datapads again tauntingly waving it infront of Sentinel "as far away from the people of Iacon, if and only if you keep your armies just as far away from our territory."
"The planet surface you mean?" Sentinel perked up.
"Yes. You let me and my people wander the planet surface in peace. No more wars. No more random military campaigns. No more displacements." Megatron growled.
"And what about you?" Sentinel flung back, helm still lazily draped over his servo, gleeming at the visitors with half lidded optics. Seemingly treating these peace talks like a boring chore. But for all Orion knew this might be nothing but show and calculated acting by the emperor to either put the barbarian and his entourage 'in their place' or to get a rise out of them.
The tyrant's torso straightened, his optics shooting straight back at the emperor.
"What about us?"
"Don't act so naive. Everyone knows about you and your men raiding the mining villages close to the planet's surface. There is no way of gathering energon up in that wasteland you call home. So you attack these poor workers and rid them of their hard mined for energon. If I stop my military campaigns towards you, will you end the raids against these innocent commoners?"
Megatron just waved the datapads in front of Sentinel's face once more his optics never once breaking their gaze from the emperor as he watched the colour drain from the Prime's facial plates like it was a game to him.
"Alright, you make a fair argument." Sentinel hissed, clicking his glossa "But keep the raids to an absolute minimum. Or these miners will demand for their emperor to take more 'direct actions' against you surface dwellers."
"Very well." Megatron huffed, his mind already thinking of alternative ways to provide his men with enough energon.
"Very well indeed!" Sentinel echoed as one of his drones handed him a new datapad - the peace treaty document, Orion assumed.
"Just sign right at the bottom of this document, and this peace treaty will come straight into effect." Sentinel declared, his perfectly rehearsed smile growing even bigger as he tried to hand the charter-manuscript to Megatron.
"Not. So. Fast." Megatron exclaimed, pushing the datapad away from himself "I need proof."
"Proof? Proof for what?" Sentinel asked, his voice breaking, clearly annoyed at the tyrant dragging this meeting out further.
“I need you to prove that you are serious about this peace treaty. I need physical confirmation that you will not turn around and break it the second i get up to leave this room. So I demand you give up something dear and precious to you."
"A collateral. You are asking me for a collateral." Sentinel clarified.
"I am." Megatron answered matter of factly like he was simply stating the time.
"Fine, if it keeps you and those accursed books out of my empire. What do you suggest I give you as proof?"
There was a long pause as Megatron mulled over his answer. Orion felt suffocated by the silence that fell over the throne room and the anticipiation.
"One of your beloved concubines." The tyrant finally broke the silence "If you are willing to give up even one of them, then and only then, will I believe your sincerity about this treaty."
HOLY HELL <3 :’
sorry guys, they’re TAKEN 💍✨
Bonus 👇:
I made a colored sketch of the new Optimus design
jazz ur gonna give him a spark attack
bit of a follow up to this post X]

They can literally produce steam when theyre mad huh?
I got into transformers, started uni and now I'm also on bluesky. Saw @drippyoil's au and blacked out. Anyways stan MegOp
For those who have seen DCAU’s Justice League Unlimited, you may remember the episode, Grudge Match. In that, there is the iconic fight where a brainwashed Wonder Woman fought and beat up her fellow League women.
If you haven’t, here is a video of it:
Now my big smart brain was inspired by this scene to imagine one where Optimus gets placed under mind control by an enemy (Quintessons, most likely) and is made to fight his team and the Elite Guard. And when they realize what’s about to happen, they’re like; Oh, Primus.
“Anybot got a plan?” Jazz asked as they all backed away from Optimus.
“Yeah, try to stay alive.” Ratchet answered.
“Does anybot have a good plan?” Prowl questioned, preparing to fight.
As much as they tried to overwhelm the Prime, things were not looking good for the Autobots.
“We’re getting our afts creamed out here.” Bumblebee remarked as Optimus slammed the combined Jettwins into the ground.
“We need a new strategy.” Ratchet said. “Sentinel! Keep him busy.”
“What now?” the Prime blinked before he was shoved forward. Next thing he knew, a fist landed right against his face.
With Optimus distracted, the others decided they needed to call in reinforcements. Decepticon reinforcements, to be exact. When they finally get there, Starscream just scoffs, thinking that it’s no big deal.
“I mean, how hard can it be to take down one little-“
And then his head is kicked off from behind.
Blitzwing and Lugnut give it a shot, but they don’t fare much better against Optimus. Their only hope now is Megatron, who can, thankfully, keep up with the brainwashed Prime.
During the course of the fight, the Decepticon warlord is high key turned on by the possibility of the Autobot actually killing him. The others notice and are all; “Are you for real?”.
Eventually, Megatron is able to incapacitate Optimus long enough for the rest to free him from his mind control, defeat the Quintessons, and the day is saved. Optimus feels guilty about the whole thing, but the other Autobots assure him it’s not his fault. Megatron, however, says if he wants to make it up to him, that can be arranged in private. Optimus, though not surprised, isn’t particularly against the idea.
No one sees them again for the rest of the day, or the next morning.
Oh, and no one bothered to retrieve Starscream’s head and put it back on his body. So he’s just been laying there the whole time.
(I might make a fic of this one day. Until then, this is just a fun little prompt I thought of)
Love the addition of a thunderclap noise.
Really emphasizes the might of cybertronians compared to a human.
Really lacking sleep right now
Anyways, I've got an idea. What if Focalors and Furina, but Optimus and Orion?
Thank you for listening, I'm going to continue staying up late
Megatron: Again with the optic! Okay, do you want me to call Optimus?
Bumblebee, Sari, Jetstorm, & Jetfire [quickly scatter]: NO!
Megatron: Heh. Works every time, they’re scared to death of him. [turns around and sees the Autobot standing behind him] Gah!
Optimus: Call me for what?
Megatron: Ah, Optimus, my love.
bayverse moment
People saying TFP Optimus is the one who fumbled will never not be funny because???? Fumbled what, the crack addict???? Baby that’s called Dodging a Bullet
Human Reporter: Breaking news, gay alien robot continues to fumble a bad bitch.
*camera pans to the background scene*
Megatron: *on his knees* Please come back with me.
Optimus: Absolutely Not!
Megatron: My glorious metalic princess with a savior complex PLEASE.
Optimus: For the 100th time I am NOT joining you on your murder crusade.
Megatron: PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ–
