Got more ideas (and energy to write them) for my cybervers au (windblade, telletran X and grimlock). Not a lot, but my brain is too full of school to really come up with ideas (high school's a bitch). Anyway here they are:
Windblade didn't get discovered by the seekers. (They only found her because she stopped to talk to bee, and since she didn't find him, she wasn't discovered).
Windblade still found tell X (a short for telletran X), but because the seekers didn't know about tell X, there was no trap.
Tell X only started to help wind after she got the chance to tell tell X that she found some clues about the others (it's grimlock).
Grimlock acts the same way he does in the show.
They find the arc without any problems. Because the seekers don't know about them, there was no reason for the rest of the decepticons to come.
The rest of the decepticons came to earth for a different reason (I have no idea what that reason is).
And that's everything my brain meneged to come up with. I am very happy with it. (I do need my brain to come up with more important lore to the au before I come bust because of plot holes in my own au)
Hi, my brain decided to make something and I wanted to sure it with you.
So, imagine a lost light au where everyone on the crew know most of everyone's else backstory. Except non of them knows exactly what rodimus backstory is from before he joined the wreckers.
They know about nyon and that it was destroyed, but they don't know anything else, like why it was destroyed or how. (They all have different theories on rodi's backstory)
Then on day/night, whirl wanting to couse chaos (at either the ship's bar or just anywhere else with a lot of bots) just goes up to rodi and asks him why and how nyon was destroyed.
All of the other bots that are around just stop talking and look at whirl like he was more insane then usual. (They all are also interested to know but they also know that it's probably a bad idea asking)
Whirl looks at rodimus, expecting to get yelled at or for rodimus to just brush him of and change the subject.
And rodi being really sleep deprived (the cybertronian equivalent at least) and having no self control or filter at the moment, just starts to tell whirl (and all the other bots listening) with details why his home was destroyed, the exact way and how.
And rodi is saying it all weil smiling, completely unaware of whirl and all the other bots looking at him in horror and realizing "oh dam, our sunshine, childish, happy captain is traumatized more then 97% of the bots on the ship."
The next day after rodimus wakes up he remembers nothing of the night before, all he knows is that the crew started to listen and respect him more. (He as no idea why Magnus had whirl apologize to him for something nor why drift hugged him for three hours)
This is such a good ask and i love it!
Whirl is traumatized and Rodimus is super confused and a little paranoid someone is making an attempt on his life when the crew is so nice to him. Even RATCHET IS NICE!! And that NEVER happens!!
Poor roddy holes up in his room to let the hatred die down and now everyone thinks it from past trauma but its just toddy expecting another attempt on his life
I really like the idea of an undead rodimus au.
He got the matrix after getting his spark blown up and deing. so I like to think instead of giving him a new spark, the matrix just replaced his spark with itself. And so after it got separated from rodimus he was left with no spark, but he still lived.
He now lives without a spark and cannot die. If his head gets cut of, he can just put it back no problem, it also works with all his other parts.
He knows he can't die in a normal way, but he forgot to tell the others. So one time during a fight or during the mutiny, something happens and everyone finds out. I imagine it goes something like that:
Rodimus: *looses his head*
Everyone else in the battlefield: *stop fighting and looking*
Rodimus: *gets up of the floor and puts is head back in place* well that was annoying. And my head is gonna be wobbly for hours now.
Everyone: *horrified*
Rodimus: what? Did I do something wrong?
Technically, no. But as a person who collects cool rocks I decided that it does count as rock collecting for I would also put him in my rock collection
does having literally 3,400 pics of rock lee in my phone make me a rock collector
More for this au (my brain really likes it):
Hot rod told Rodimus stories about his time in the wreckers and his life before the war and during. He also told him about nyon and its history and culture. And Rodimus, wanting to give respect to hot rod and make sure he's also happy, decides to take on the culture of nyon as his own.
He tells the wreckers that he isn't hot rod. He believes that it won't be fair for them to not know, nor will it be fair for him to try and act like someone he is not.
They don't believe him. And Rodimus doesn't blame them for not believing (he's aware that what he told them is insane, and also that they don't want to believe that a mech who was their friend died and the matrix just made an entirely new mach to possess his dead body).
The problem is that even after the war and at the lost light nobody believes that he isn't hot rod. And Rodimus does get annoyed by that, but he also doesn't want to hurt them, so he doesn't say anything.
Hot rod is pretty pissed though. He understands why Rodimus doesn't say anything, but he also knows how much it annoys him that no one believes what he says. (Hot rod tried on multiple occasions to communicate with the wreckers and other machs through their dreams just to be able to yell at them and explain that Rodimus isn't laying, and actually isn't hot rod).
Am au where rodimus isn't actually hot rod, but a manifestation that the matrix created of an entirely new mach.
But the problem is that he (rodimus) is literally a sparkling.
All of his knowledge is from the matrix. But the matrix (and primus) were stupid and only gave him the most basic knowledge, like how to speak, read, write, transform, and other basic stuff.
But they (the matrix and primus) forgot to give him the mind and mentality of an adult mach. So it's literally a Shazam situation with a child (sparkling) in a grown up body. The only difference is, this sparkling can never change out of the adult body into the one he was supposed to have, and his stuck acting like something and someone who isn't him.
ok that’s it I’m gonna say it because I’m brave and I’m not gonna tag it much because I’m a coward.
I do not understand why Optimus Prime is portrayed as a twink so goddamned often. Most often in MegOP media, which I feel lends far better to like, toxic old man yaoi tropes in most media.
and like, do you want you want, be free! But… why is it so everywhere when the stereotype doesn’t fit well imo?
MAYBE this is because I watched G1 the most. MAYBE. But I’ve also seen Prime, and I don’t get it there. Prime OP has so much stress and is an overworked mf who is trying his damndest to keep like… 5 people alive while facing an entire goddamned army and also his nemesis who is doing evil space drugs. Is it really just the one plotline where his memories get yeeted, and the innocence he lost during the war comes back? His waist being thin? Is that what makes people twinkify him?
TF One OP also does not fit the role. Yes, he’s younger, and a bit sassy and snarky but there’s this like… idk, it’s like fanart that I see of him sands down all his rough edges. I believe the term is woobified?
So! for the sake of having a semi productive conversation, I genuinely want this question answered. Why do people tend to portray Optimus so heavily as ‘the woman in the gay relationship’, especially when it comes to shipping him Megatron?
I cannot hold it in any longer, so here are some of my favorite transformers headcanons:
1. transformers rescue bots blades is non-binary. Every time I watch the show and see blades I just think:" ah, that is a non-binary they/them robot if I've ever seen one"
2. Rescue bots chase as autism. I am not explaining this one.
3. all of the rescue bots have guilt about being asleep for most of the war and surviving while all the other rescue bots didn't.
4. MTMTE rodimus as AUDHD (autism and ADHD). he is also between non-binary to agender in my mind. (I am not explaining myself).
5. Seekers have no gender.
6. Bumblebee as autism.
7. Starscream as sociopath tendencies and is a psychopath.
I have an mdzs headcanon where Jin ling's first words where a-die/baba -(dad in Mandarin) to Jiang Cheng, because Jiang Cheng practically raised him and because he (Jin ling) saw other children call the man that raised them baba he called Jiang Cheng baba. And that is the story of how Jiang Cheng cried for the first time since wei wuxian died because of is nephew
I know the sort of common consensus is IDW Hot Rod/Rodimus being with the Wreckers (probably mainly because of AHM), or just a reserve Wrecker, but I would like to present another potential option:
SpecOps agent Hot Rod/Rodimus.
I need someone to write a fic about rodimus just verbally abusing Optimus for like three chapters. And at the same time also menging to make him understand why putting the mech who chousd a civil war, the deaths of millions of cybertronians and the destruction of their planet as the CAPTAIN of a ship full of people who have been either directly or indirectly hurt by him is a stupid aft idea. Especially when the other (and first) captain of that ship literally got FRAGING KILLED BY THAT SAME WAR LORD (now war criminal on probesion).
Just, a fic of rodimus explaining to Optimus everything he did wrong in life.
