Just a place for my fixations and occasionally something leaves my drafts and sees the light of day :] If you know me IRL, no you don't
Intergalactic Truck Stop / "The Pit stop" / "Are we there yet?" name pending...
A bit of a take on the caretaker aus and soft aus, just let them employ themselves. Still just as clueless but not as out of the loop :].
Who would've thought that humans were some of the few species that planned for when a break was needed and supplies needed to be replenished. "Why not just pack everything you need to go from point A to point B?" Things happen. For so many traveling groups in the universe, that just meant you were either stupid or unfortunate and you had to suck it up till you reached your destination. When humans reached space, after almost dying too many times to count and learning from it, they saw that design flaw. Yeah, there were plenty species that did have a concept of stopping in the middle of a trip but normally there wasn't a place made with that in mind and made for that reason. Learning this, humans did what humans do best: adapted and capitalized on the cards delt. And this was clearly an fault they could make a good buck on. Once they learned the conversions to their currencies or until they converted to a more universal currency. Get it? Universal? Ha, I'm hilarious. . . ANYWAYS! The first site was a good learning experience. Many renovation were needed after the first dozen ships docked. 1) It needed to take into consideration bigger or smaller species. 2) Species with different textures and consistencies. 3) Having ready the fuels most used and most common in the neighboring galaxies. 4) They NEEDED to start a list of things visiting species could and could not eat or touch (condolences to the families of the ones that died to make this a rule, that was a tragic Wednesday).
Just needed to get somethings out of my drafts, for my sake :] ~Trip
One of my fave tropes in Humans Are Deathworlders/Space Orcs is humans being on an alien planet, and because of like,, gravity or bone density, they basically become superhuman - hyper strength, ability to jump absurdly high, or run at crazy speeds.
(Ya'll ever watch that movie, John Carter? It has fun HASO vibes! recommend)
In tf media, humans are always at a disadvantage cause of our size 'n squishiness, or discriminated against because of our biology.
Now I love a good ol' fashioned power shift dynamic, especially with humans and transformers...(≖⩊≖)
Imagining the transformers doin' their thing out in space, being some of the strongest and most advanced around. Being apex predators is familiar territory for them, as not many can compete with them or endanger them.
When they find their way to Earth, discovering it's a small planet inhabited by even smaller organics, nobody even slightly suspects encountering any real threat from the natives - humans by comparison are weak and soft after all...
Now I know I was just talking about humans being superhuman because of biological and environmental factors...but what if, in this scenario, it's the opposite, but for the Transformers?
They come to Earth, only to realize that they are significantly weaker there, making them incredibly vulnerable- even to natural human strength...
What if Earth metals are stronger, denser, and more versatile? Whatever Cybertronian bodies are made of can't compare to it, and for the first time, they're the squishy ones.
Bullets don't just bounce off their armor anymore- they penetrate. Their armor no longer qualifies as armor. Getting hit by bigger artillery, like tanks n' rockets, now can be severely debilitating or fatal.
What if Earth's gravity is heavier than Cybertron's, making the bots slower, sluggish, and more susceptible to certain environments and conditions? Humans, by comparison, are seen as quick, agile, and absurdly adaptable.
What if Earth's rust is way worse than the type of rust Transformers have dealt with before? With how much metal is incorporated into human civilizations, rust can be anywhere.
For the bots, junkyards are biohazard wastelands. And what if the bots themselves are more prone to oxidation while on Earth because of the oxygen and high moisture content? Maybe even long-term exposure to oxygen can have negative effects on transformers, their general health becoming compromised in ways they haven't yet encountered.
Large bodies of water would be horrifying for them. Imagine some flight bot getting shot down midair while above the ocean, and just...plummeting lower and lower into the depths, all sound disappearing, darkness engulfing them, and the overwhelming pressure of the water rendering them more and more unfunctionable. As their senses are stripped one by one, they aren't sure what will kill them first- the crushing ocean depths, or the suffocating anxiety that comes from being completely helpless.
This makes me think of when Starscream fell through the ice in that TFP episode, and if it weren't for the Apex Armor, I really don't think he would've survived the crushing force of the ocean and the all-consuming cold of the arctic.
Mind you, Optimus and Arcee almost FROZE to death in the arctic because shit was just THAT cold! If Transformers are that naturally sensitive to freezing temperatures, then sinking into icy glacier water should be a death sentence.
Now the transformers aren't at a complete disadvantage here on Earth- they are still very big and strong, and could definitely still do damage to man-made environments and humans themselves. But they can no longer act as recklessly as they do, because now there are physical consequences to being careless.
Bigger bots can still take a hit and come out alive, but smaller bots are unfortunately more vulnerable.
Getting hit by like,, a train might just KO them, due to the force, speed, and metal density. If it's a big enough vehicle, cars could ram and knock a bot off their feet, maybe even mangling their legs in the process.
There are so many little factors that could be detrimental to the bots that I could ramble about, but I wanna turn the focus onto the most underestimated threat to Transformers of Earth...humans...
Yes, a 10-ton space robot would absolutely body a human. The same way a human can step on an ant and kill it. but if there are enough ants...if their teeth are sharp enough, and if they're angry enough, ants can become a PROBLEM
Bugs are a really good comparison to humans on how, if we're motivated enough and have support in numbers, we can be an absolute menace to other creatures bigger than us.
Given how human teeth are strong enough to bite through or deform some metals, and in some cases, even eat metals (like that guy who legit ate a whole fkin plane), and with the bots' bodies being made of softer stuff than earth alloys...ya feel what I'm putting down here...?
Humans are scraplets ◉‿◉
As a transformer, the last thing you want is losing track of a human, only to feel them climbing onto you, hanging just out of reach, biting your plating and wriggling in deeper like a termite to tear at wires and squishy protoform.
One bitey human is bad enough- but now imagine a group of rampant, angry humans swarming you, biting, tearing, bending, and snapping anything they can get hold of. Humans, when we fear for our lives or the lives of our loved ones, we go fuckin feral. When weapons aren't an option, our own bodies become the weapon.
For Transformers, it's not just human militaries they have to stay cautious of, but just humans themselves.
Which, ultimately, makes allying with humans actually really beneficial. Their ace up their sleeve, so to speak, is a human.
"It's dangerous to go alone. Take this...his name is John."
It also adds a new interesting angle to transformer x human pairings.
Human: "This robo titan could crush me in it's metal hands. But I love and trust them not to do that." (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
Transformer: "This squishy scraplet could maul me from the inside out with it's mouth bones. But I love and trust them not to do that." (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
I have so many ideas for this concept and how helpful humans could end up being for their bot buddies.
Like, because transformer plating being more susceptible to damage than Earth metals, I love the thought of humans with a talent for welding coming up to their bot buds like,
"Hey, I made you some armor!" (ᵔᗜᵔ)
The armor:
Transformers entering their medieval armor era be like,,
Anyway,, this is getting kinda long,, so ima stop here and think of some more ideas for later (¬ᴗ ´¬ )
and yea...my knowledge on outer space, ecology and physics is severely limited, sooo pls excuse me for talkin' out my ass with these headcannons that might sound super nonsensical to anyone that actually knows how irl shit works (๑•͈ᴗ•͈)
I welcome all the smart peeps to correct me on practicality or add their own ideas to the mix, cus I'm mainly running on imagination and vibes (∗´ര ᎑ ര`∗)
The hexagon is nearly 30,000 km (20,000 miles) wide. This is large enough that two Earths could fit inside the storm with room to spare.
It is a standing atmospheric wave created by a powerful jet stream that wraps around the pole. Winds along its edges can exceed 300 km/h (about 220 mph).
At the very center of the hexagon lies a deep, dark polar vortex that extends hundreds of kilometers down into Saturn's atmosphere.
Been having some ideas I've been rotating for a crossover that I probably won't ever write, but I thought I'd toss it out there at least XD
The phandom loves to play around with the concept of ghost cores, and the way they're described has a decent amount of overlap with Cybertronian sparks... So hear me out: Danny sustains injury to the point of being forced into his core to recuperate. Maybe he's just escaped from captivity or he's been in a huge fight, either way he escapes through the ghost zone, but isn't able to make it somewhere safe before he goes into his core and ends up adrift in the Infinite Realms. Then whoops! His core falls through a natural portal and into Cybertronian space.
There's a lot of ways this could go too depending on what continuity and when/where in that continuity he lands...
But to continue that idea thread: Danny's core eventually gets found and put into a cold constructed frame. His core is quite small compared to a spark, but his field is strong, so maybe they chalk it up to a side effect of Cybertron being so drained of resources and no longer producing newsparks. His frame could be smaller to match the size of his spark, or he could be more of a regular sized bot with a modified spark chamber ;)
Not sure if when Danny onlines he's been conscious the whole time while in his core, or if he comes to and is missing his memories. The idea of him being a conscious core could be its own fic imo, one where he gets picked up by Drift during his exile from the LL or The Scavengers(I'm IDW biased since that's what I consumed the most of) that doesn't have access to the facilities that could make a frame and he goes on adventures as a little emotional support orb, but I feel that I'd need to make a separate post about that idea heheh.
Skipping to somewhere far down the story and Danny's spark chamber gets damaged, and it looks fatal, but then it isn't because of his modified spark chamber and tiny core. He goes down and at this point he's wormed his way into everyone's sparks, and you get that angst of them thinking this newspark they've grown to care about is going to offline, but then he doesn't and everyone is scrambling to save him. Then boom reveal time maybe? idk I have a lot of ideas, but nothing concrete since this is the first time I'm writing all this out.
Feel free to add to this or use it as inspiration for your own thing! I'm too busy with Danny Phantom events atm to do anything with this myself, but maybe I'll come back to add more and do some drawings.
I lack the ability to be (semi-)active in more than one fandom at a time, so i'm just gonna go ahead and not-so-gently shove two of them together. Enjoy whatever the hell this is.
Some rambles under cut
Danny winds up in the Transformers Continuity Soup (somehow) and Skulker just fuckin leaves him there. Not sure how he ended up in a offline cassette, someone else can figure out that part.
Wakes up on Cybertron amongst rusted corpses. Starts exploring and spots Shockwave doing God knows what. The idea that Shockwave isn't nearly as fun to meet in person as he is to read about in comics hits a bit too late.
"Congratulations, you've somehow beaten the odds and added another crazy scientist to your family roster."
Danny makes it his personal mission to be the most annoying and unhelpful lab assistant to ever roam the planet. Shockwave kinda hates him but a X million long war and a viral rust infection clearly didn't do anything so he doesn't even bother trying.
Gets branded as an outlier at some point.
He gets handed over to Soundwave the moment they set foot on earth. But since he can't really transform and could give Soundwave a stroke if he tried hard enough (telepaths + "empaths" = severe neurological overstimulation) he stays a lab unassistant.
Unfortunately, Soundwave lacks any and all self preservation when it comes to cassettes, so now Shockwave has two annoyances in his lab.
Danny makes it his personal mission to be the most annoying and unhelpful decepticon to ever roam the planet.
He is absolutely tiny, even for a cassette.
Likes to hang out with the command trine when he's not breaking beakers.
