To quench my sudden addiction to Star Wars. (Could possibly write for other fandoms) Some fair warning, I'm not fully immersed with the lore so there might be some inaccuracies and I can sometimes be lazy with my writing.

I got a Question about General!Reader... How do you think would you write him?
Like in G1 he could probably an Old friend of Kup? (Tho he was never human, and spend time exploring the outer space perhaps with some of his adopted Sparkling now all grow up?)
Or in TFO like he could be the quote quote "Defacto Leader" of the High Guard when Megatronus wasen't present (much to Starcream dismay lmao) probably stay in Iacon after the whole banish stuff because 1. He could not leave a defenless city without any proper training for the inment Quintossian stuff and well Decepticons as well 2. Many young mechs and Femmes who now have a Cog and don't know how to use their alt mode, so they are going to need a good teacher.
I dont know how he will be handle in Bayverse or Prime or another continuity lmao.. Sorry 😭
Hmm, interesting question.
General!reader's story is that he was a human general reincarnated as a cybertronian, who then used his knowledge from his past life to fight battles in the Great War. So, I think that would stay. I also think the story wouldn't change much in the other continuities, except that Optimus is the Autobot leader and the war is still ongoing.
In G1, General!reader would be one of Optimus's most trusted people and strategists. The two have great respect for each other, and reader is one of Kup's old friends. Maybe also one of the only bots Megatron considers a worthy adversary. I'd say in the G1 universe, General!reader would be defending Autobot refugee worlds, so he wouldn't have much action on Earth. After the war, General!reader would finally retire, do little exploring with his adopted kids, but mostly stay put and start a farm while drinking oil with Kup. Most likely would mentor Rodimus after the young bot becomes a prime. General!reader would also likely help him get over his guilt over Optimus's death. (War is tragic and losses are to be expected)
In TFO, I like the idea of General!reader having been Megatronus's second in command and de facto leader of the Highguard. He would be known for his strategies, sharp observational skills, and loyalty to his men. Sentinel would see General!reader as a threat and perhaps the only bot who could fight him with minimal forces. I think the story would go that General!reader stayed at Iacon to defend it as the primes went to fight the Quintessons. When Sentinel returned with news of the primes passing and bearing the title of prime without the Matrix, General!reader would immediately suspect foul play. (He would have likely known the Matrix would vanish in unworthy hands; thus the suspicion.) General!reader would investigate in secret and eventually discover the truth. As General!reader was a beloved, well-known figure, no one would believe it if Sentinel accused him of treason. So, Sentinel would imprison General!reader and have him hidden away, claiming he had passed away from an ambush (most likely took General!reader's voice box too so he wouldn't be able to reveal the secret if he ever got out). This would allow Starscream to take charge of Highguard and go into hiding. They would likely think Sentinel had General!reader killed.
And maybe the main story crew found General!reader, a mute old bot who was locked up for some reason. (Maybe General!reader was trapped in sublevel 50 with Bee?) General!reader then helped the crew escape and reunited with the High Guard. Then, after the story, General!reader chose to stay with Optimus to train the new bots for the upcoming war (got his voice back too). Becomes the local grandpa to the younger bots?
In this story, there would be some former friendship between General!reader, Soundwave, and Shockwave. The three respected each other, and the other two would likely try to persuade General!reader to switch sides. General!reader and Starscream's relationship would be a bit complicated. Starscream possessed some envy, and General!reader tried to push the seeker toward a respectable path. Starscream doesn't fully hate his former leader, even when they chose opposite sides.
In prime, I guess General!reader's story would be similar to G1 --- protecting Autobots in outer space. Megatron would likely consider General!reader the second most dangerous enemy, right besides Optimus (sorry, Magnus. You're only third)
In Bayverse, General!reader's strange, deep understanding of humans would be more obvious. Some would even suspect he was a human in his past life. General!reader would likely be the one who warns Optimus and the other bots beforehand of the Autobot purge, preventing deaths and having contingency plans. Maybe thanks to him, Optimus doesn't become heavily traumatized and lose his trust in humans.
Oh! ‘Raises hand’ IDEA! I HAVE AN IDEA I WANNA SHARE!
What is the fifth harbinger(if they had one cause of toon logic) decided to get a cybertronian form, and what if they both form resembles a jester/ and or a being similar to Discord from MLP? Someone with multiple different parts on their body but somehow makes it work? Something chaotic but appealing.
https://youtu.be/OTxXhHPa6mY?si=9jhXxOzs8gpunGaz
^how enemies see them.
https://youtu.be/Lm5Cqb2M_RI?feature=shared
^how other see them. (Discord and Pinkie pie give off sooo many similar vibes, you would mistake them as relatives if they were of similar species)
https://youtu.be/q1vPxSA0xoc?si=gmVQ97QBLzFppx01
^this feels right for how their relationship is with Rung.
Perhaps they had a hard time finding a form that fit them for a while, so they took to shape shifting into the others for fun and laughter, perhaps even for inspiration.
Posing dramatically with Rodimus, causing chaos with whirl, maybe even attempting to connect with other such as Megatron and Ultra Magnus. Sitting next to Megs while he’s reading (meanwhile Ravage is unsure how to respond seeing two Megatrons, one of them slightly smiling while the other was more brooding), while with Magnus, teaching him how to relax with Rodimus while seeing how he see with his eyes.
Perhaps performing with Magnus and Cyclonus, while switching between them.
In the end, they end up with something of a mix between the bots of the lost light. Horns like Cyclonus, an arm and a leg like Whirl, a hand like Ratchet, and a frame with a mix between multiple types, 2 different types of wings (this is just my take on a chaotic harbinger with toon logic)
Hmm... I see the vision, and I think it fits.
I'm usually not the best at visualization. I need to think really hard and stare at pictures to get a proper vision.
If I imagined toon! y/n having a Harbinger form, I would imagine them being as tall as a Cybertronian but looking like a human (maybe that's their mythical form too: human). They dress like a ringleader (inspired by Caine and Toymaker). And like with other harbingers, they have horns. (with five points.) Maybe a tail too (don't ask why; it just came to mind). Maybe they do have some chimera features. And in normal mood, they don't look threatening, but then in angry or evil mode, they get like a crazed look, wackass eyes, and sharp teeth (kinda like the creatures made by Fennah).
Like this, in a way:
It's easy to describe things that are already designed, and I'm used to not describing reader's appearance, so you all can imagine the appearance yourself. I usually give reader features if they're relevant to the story (Like, if reader's character is a warrior, they have some scarring). Hope I explained that clearly enough.
–Rung visits Earth and humans just absolutely hate him lol. Unicron gave humanity a built in hatred for Primus.
–Cybertronian fauna have intense fear and or love for humans 'cause they instinctually sense their lineage. Everyone abuses this.
–Unicron delights over humans' soft bodies and they are quite happy to let him. Hugs and snuggles for everyone!
–Humans built a robot shell for Unicron to inhabit so he can safely and cleanly interact with humans. No more avatars’ dirt all over the place. (Plus it's really cool)
–All of humanity are holders of Unicron's being and the larger the number of humans the smaller the pieces are. That is why Optimus fights so hard to keep humans alive; if too many of them died Unicron could reform.
–Sometime in the far future Unicron brings planets, asteroids, etc, to “feed” humanity. They happily accept the constant supply of raw minerals and metals. Humans need lots of material to build their Dyson swarms or other large products after all.
–Over 70% of humanity is wiped out in an enemy attack and it makes Unicron really overprotective so he tucks the surviving humans away in his main body, never letting them leave. Of course until they repopulate till there's no room left and he is forced to let them out. Still forever hovering though.
So I just awoke from a HORRIBLE and Confusing nightmare...
I dream i got ordered two suprise blokee's and diy dollhouse i just ordered couplendays ago before Soundwave and Slag arrived...only for my items to be DESTROYED and i had this HORRIBLE feeling and i went upstairs to my room...and all my fanart,acrylic paintings,Merch was destroyed and...then the poved changed and...
Unicron was running to the four harbinger out in the backyard chilling and i kid you not THIS MECH DESTROYED MY MERCH AND ITEMS LIKE THAT SCENE FROM MY LITTLE MERMAID WITH KING TRITON DESTROYING ALL OF ARIEL EARTH STUFF and only after that blind rage did he realized he probably SHOULDNT destroyed items i saved with my hard earned money and he KNEW i was on period so he knew i would not have mercy on him-
My dream quoted-
Unicron:WHO WANTS TO MAKE 5 BUCK?
Four Harbingers:...How?
Unicron:I need someone to...take the fall
Lux*voice echos in dream*oh my gawd...
Conquest*Looks at his father*What did you?-
Unicron:I-I cant tell you,Yes or no...NO QUESTIONS ASK
Lux*voice echos slightly louder and madder*oh my gawd!
The four look startled and Famine and War have a triplet link convo of "Famine:You do it,They are still mad at me for eating the last chocolate bar-"
War*Looks at Unicron*Make it TEN...
Unicron:DONE-
Unicron*Opens the door and hugs War even going as far as kissing the harbinger forehead as Lux voice screams*You're a good child...
Lux*voice screeches in shock and horror*oh my gawd!!?!
Unicron:I GOT EM,MIJA!I GOT EM DONT WORRY!?!
HOW YOU REACT TO DADD-ICRON DESTROYING YOUR TF MERCH OR ART?-
So I propose to Bird about Unicron giving Y/n powers, and you know what powers they wanted?... Toonforce, and then you shipped yourself to the Lost Light for silly adventures and 4th wall breaking.
You basically got the powers of Doctor Who Toymaker and Mr. Ring-a-Ding. To be fair, you just wanted to be the "Silly guy" Compared to your four older siblings
We also brought the Idea that Famine and Humanity are viewed as "Twins" by the Older Harbingers, given that humanity and Famine are like the babies of the family, but back to the fact that throughout time and History the ONLY one who can ever go toe to toe with A father is...The eldest daughter(I know that as an Elder "Sister" myself)
It was all fun and games until Big sis found out that Father gave you the powers of a god. She set the trap for a meeting with you in your new form at the family dinner with everyone...
Death*Slowly turning her head to look at the three harbingers + you* Kids. bed, now. I want to talk to Our FATHER
Unicron*Blinks frowning, looking at the his four youngest playing with their food, Nervously* No, kids, stay...Please stay
Death: Go.
Unicron: Stay.
Death: Go!
Unicron: Stay!~
Death: You go!
Unicron: Conquest, stay!
Death: Now!
Unicron: War, don't move!?
Death: You go!
Unicron: Twins, stay!?!
Famine & Toon!Y/n*Both are guided by Conquest and War along with the minion staff*...
You have all this power in your palm, but you just use ot to make your friends laugh, be silly and cute in your adventures, Musical numbers following the toon laws...You never get mad that someone underestimates you or calls you a joke...
So when you're standing in the Lost light with the dead bodies of your friends you made in your journey, with the DJD pushing Megatron to KILL again against his WILL...
You decided, seeing the Carnage and Despair around you, that maybe these guys needed a new friend instead of a leader, you would be HAPPY to play with them...FOREVER
So when the DJD hears "family" laugh to associate all the harbingers, the screens crash out to show all their wanted posters till only the letters " Harbinger " shine, which is viewed all over the ship, to announce that a harbinger is around them
All the DJD see is you, the lost light "Pet" in their optics, but something Eerie is emanating from you. You are just standing there at the end of the hallway when you start to tap dance and end with a smile, greeting them
Nickle: W-What does that mean?... what's going on?
Tesarus: Harbinger...
Tarn: The God of chaos has Harbinger's...
Toon!Y/n*Looks at each and every one of them and gives them a Court bow*I AM Y/N!THE HARBINGER OF IMAGINATION! I AM THE DAZZLE IN THE HEART OF CHAOS PANTHEON AND THE GLEAM IN THE EYES OF THE MAD~
Toon!Y/n: "I" am the last thing before you FALL into the abyss
And the lights slowly explode one by one till only ONE light shines above them, and suddenly you have a piano and sing to them
You put them through their OWN torture methods they instilled on others, but something they can't comprehend is why they can't DIE. You then tell them you cannot kill them as the rules bestowed upon your powers don't allow that. Toons can't kill, but boy will they WISH for death...
When they see the fragmented Image of Death beside you, it's not to SAVE them from your little "games." After all, you invited your Dear sister for her to lend you the souls of all of the DJD Victims...to join in for brainstorming new games~
Now that you made it aware to cybertronians that...Unicron has a "fifth harbinger", on the loose...and you are not what everyone expects, I mean, this is you and your siblings side to side-
Behold the birth of the fifth Harbinger! Imagine if this had been like an origin story and DJD became responsible for toon (y/n) getting into the Harbinger business. Also, since War and Famine are connected to humanity in ways. So, how about instead of just twins, we have triplets? Chaos Triplets!
I LOVE the “Heir of Justice”. I just want to know if there could be another part where they meet again 😔. Or how they would act if they met shortly. I’m dying to know 😭
Thank you ❤
I'm not entirely sure I will make another part for the Heir of Justice. The separation at the end is kind of the tragic part, and I'm not sure if having Optimus and the reader go the typical route of reuniting on Earth would undo it. The chances would be that they don't reunite at all.
If they were to reunite, it would definitely be a silent one. There wouldn't be hugs, happy tears, or shouting. The moment Optimus and reader locked optics again after millions of years would be quiet as the two stared at each other. Their minds filled with moments of the past.
"Orion? Wait, it was Optimus these days, wasn't it?" reader would question.
"You've grown taller," reader would remark with a tiny smile. And after many years since the war, even Optimus cracked a smile.
The two would have many discussions back at the base. They would talk about the past, how things could have gone differently, and admit their guilt. Confessing that neither of them was right or wrong.
You know, I've seen quite a few Tumblr posts about Dadtron and his Sparkling!Reader, but not many about Dadutimus Prime.
So, if you had to rank each Optimus Prime from 1 to 10, (you could do a little explantion if you want lmao) how would you rank them with their Sparkling!Reader? (Pros: if the Sparkling!Reader looks similar to Megatron in their aspect, so it would make it more interesting (and angst potential for some of the Optimus lol))
Oh yeah, I think Optimus should get dad posts too.
Had to think this one through and think about how the war would affect the relationship between Optimus and his sparkling.
G1 Optimus 9/10
I think this Optimus would be hella supportive of his sparkling throughout their growth and would always try to make time for them. Of course, the war takes up a lot of his time, but he would make up for it. He would always be emotionally available and try to teach his kid the most important lessons. He's the king of embarrassing dad jokes.
One minus is his tendency to put others before himself and his self-sacrificial habit. Fighting a war is a risky business, so there was a high chance that one day he would not return to his child because he took a bullet for someone else.
Prime Optimus 9/10
This Optimus would likely be a bit more battle-hardened, so he might seem emotionally closed off, though not intentionally. He would try to relax his expressions and reassure his sparkling whenever they feel doubts about his love for them. It's just challenging to turn off his resting stone face at times. Looking after his team and his sparkling would take a lot of his time, so his sparkling might not see him often since he would likely keep them at the base for their safety. He would feel bad about it and tell his sparkling bedtime stories to help them sleep (dude was an archivist) and let them cuddle during recharge. Once he relaxes, his sparkling is privileged to see a much warmer side of him. He's also one of the most patient dad primes besides G1 Optimus.
Bayverse Optimus 7/10
For Bayverse Optimus, I'm pretty sure he would have sent his sparkling somewhere safer, away from war, where the cons can't find them. But if his sparkling ended up on Earth with him, he would be protective and try to raise them with good values. The sparkling might be put off by the violence they get exposed to and hesitate to cause harm while growing up. Optimus would understand this and feel guilty about it. However, as his sparkling grows older and the enemies become more violent, he might push his child to defend themselves. After the humans' betrayal, things would definitely not be easy. His protectiveness would skyrocket, and he would discourage his child from trusting humans. This would cause some arguments if his child still had some faith in humans and Earth. Then there would be the whole Quintessa incident. It would break his child's spark to see him brainwashed, even more so when standing against him. And even if the sparkling didn't have faith in humans and Earth anymore, they would stand against their brainwashed sire because destroying Earth would stand against everything he believed in. It wouldn't be an easy fight because their sire is a prime, but also because they don't want to hurt their sire.
So, technically, this parent-child arc would be one hell of a roller coaster.
Animated Optimus 8/10
This Optimus would definitely be a bit more inexperienced when it comes to taking care of his sparkling. His positive side is that he is a quick learner and humble, so he doesn't hesitate to ask for help. His downside is his tendency to shoulder every responsibility--- like taking care of Detroit, leading his team, finding Allspark fragments, and warding off Decepticon attacks. This would cause him to become overworked and unintentionally neglect his kid. Thankfully, Ratchet would be there to give his helm a few smacks and remind the prime to take a break and spend more time with his kid. Optimus would feel bad and learn to trust his team to handle the other responsibilities while he takes care of his kid. It would take him a while to get the hang of it and learn to balance family and work life, but in the end he makes a decent sire. This definitely builds more trust in his team. His team also learns to be a bit more independent without his guidance, and sometimes his team volunteers for babysitting.
He would unintentionally start telling puns after becoming a dad.
TF One (doing this in two parts. )
Orion 7/10
Orion gives the impression that he likes sparklings and is surprisingly good with them. However, that bot would not be the most responsible sire. He's pretty reckless when it comes to his shenanigans. Like how I once wrote in one of my fics, he would likely accidentally drop his kid. He has a good record of angering people and often risks his life, so his sparkling would likely be safer in someone else's arms. He does care about his sparkling's well-being and safety and would not hesitate to shield them from harm. He would also definitely ensure his sparkling refuels first before refueling himself.
He's a caring sire, but please don't let him take his kid along with his escapades.
Also a culptrit of telling dad jokes.
Optimus 8/10
After becoming Optimus, he would be a lot wiser and more responsible with his sparkling. It would be a bit of a learning curve for him if his sparkling took some of his rebellious tendencies from Orion Pax (now he knows how the others felt about his shenanigans). If his kid took some aspects from Megatron, or if his former friend was involved in raising his kid, that would cause some sad feelings. He would look at his child in silence while his kid just looks back at him, confused, and asks what's wrong, and he answers that he just misses someone, not elaborating on who.
Narrator: Welcome, dear readers. I am the narrator. Allow me to introduce you to Unicron and his children, the great forces of evil and chaos in this universe.
Narrator: This is Unicron.
Unicron: *overseeing the chaos in the galaxy from his throne*
Narrator: The God of Destruction and Chaos. He's the rival of Primus, his brother. He is the one who reaps chaos and devours worlds to fill his insatiable hunger. He has a strong dislike for his brother's creations, the Cybertronians.
Narrator: This is Death.
Death: *holds her scythe while overseeing the passing of souls in a dead world*
Narrator: She is Unicron’s firstborn and the oldest of Unicron's children. As the Harbinger of Death, she reaps the souls of the living and brings the final end to life. She's the silence that ignites fear into the hearts of empires.
Narrator: This is Conquest.
Conquest: *grins as he watches his plagues and insecticon children reap chaos in one of the worlds*
Narrator: He is Unicron’s secondborn and his oldest son. He is the Harbinger of Pestilence, also known as the Lord of Plagues. He's the one who brings plagues and sicknesses to the worlds. He's also the Father of Insecticons, who sets his children loose on the worlds to reap chaos and prepare them for the arrival of his siblings.
Narrator: This cold-sparked creature is Famine.
Famine: *swimming in the seas in his creature mode as the food and water sources diminish or become ruined in his wake*
Narrator: He is Unicron's youngest son and the Harbinger of Famine. He shares his father's hunger and is responsible for stripping worlds of their natural resources, allowing hunger to flourish and drive the minds of the living to madness.
Narrator: This is War.
War: *shows up fighting on a flaming battlefield with a red blade*
Narrator: One of Unicron's youngest children and the Harbinger who brings forth never-ending battles. War can strip worlds of their peace and make their inhabitants fight conflicts that could last for centuries or end in mutual destruction.
Narrator: In these areas, War and Famine sometimes work together, which intensifies the destruction their influence causes.
Narrator: These are the Four Harbingers. They aid their father in keeping balance in the galaxy by delivering his chaos and preparing worlds for his feast---!
You: *pops up* HEY! WHAT ABOUT ME?!
Narrator: Oh... Oh, yes.
Narrator: This little thing is... (Y/N).
You: *waves* Hello!
Narrator: (Y/N) is a small organic creature called a human --- a race Unicron managed to create accidentally, but has a fondness for nonetheless.
Narrator: (Y/n)… does not have unique apocalyptic powers like their older siblings. (Y/N) shares some features and chaotic habits, which mostly include...
Narrator: Sleeping in inconvenient places...
You: *snore as you sleep on Death’s head while she is working*
Narrator: Being very hungry…
Famine: (Y/N), did you eat the last of my Pop-Tarts?
You: *face full of topping* No.
Famine: FATASS!!!
Narrator: Possessing a strong love for pranks and... being easily enabled.
You: *giggle evily as you fill your teacher's car with ants*
Conquest: What are you doing?
You: *freeze* Uhm... nothing. Just filling my nasty teacher's car with ants because they gave me an F even though I studied.
Conquest: Hm... that's lame. Here, use fire ants instead. *gives you a box filled with red ants*
You: *takes the box* Yeah!
Death: No.
Narrator: And... picking fights with creatures ten times their size.
You: *on War's shoulder, yelling at an alien* Come at me, bitch. I can take ya!
War: *glares at the alien* Do not...
Narrator: Though Unicron approves of his youngest child's chaotic nature. (Y/N) does not contribute much to Unicron’s campaign of causing chaos across the galaxy.
Narrator: And lately.. (Y/N) has been distracted by a crush on one of Unicron’s worst enemies… a cybertronian.
You: *staring dreamily at a picture of a bot/con*
Narrator: Unicron does not find this pleasing at all.
Unicron: (Y/N)! Cease this ridiculous crush! Cybertronians are nothing but treacherous beings! Why can’t you be more like your older siblings!
You: *gasps and tears up*
Narrator: Unfortunately for Unicron, (Y/N)’s older siblings love their youngest very much despite (Y/N)'s habits and unconventional crush.
Conquest: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! That’s a bit too harsh, don’t you think?
Death: *holding you in her palms* Indeed. They’re young. Let them go through their crush.
War: *pats your back, gives you candy* There, there. It’s okay.
Famine: Yeah, why can't you be a normal father and tell them, 'I told you so,' after they make the stupid decision of letting their heart get broken?
Look.... I know RiD 2015 isn't everybody favorite teatime set, but.... Does younger Predacon!Reader (and perhaps one or two of sibs) goes with Uncle Bee (Like with more Shinannigs with the Bee Crew SPECIALLY with Grimlock)
Lmao that could be cool i guess xddxdxd (Don't know if this question counts as a future spoilers but ehhhh yeah..?)
I had a few ideas about the little wreckers being in the Rid 2015 storyline. In that story, they have grown up (young adult Predacons). They chose to stay on Earth, as they see it as their home. I would assume Bulkhead being busy with Cybertron and stuff, but visits Earth to see his kids once or twice a year. And they kinda go on their own adventures, sometimes visiting Bee and his team. They would definitely be besties with Grimlock. I also imagined a short story where the little wreckers encounter Predaking, and instead of fighting, they help him out with something. And in the end, they converse and help him see that not all Cybertronians are bad.
Also, I imagined one of the little wreckers having a Texas accent. Don't ask me why; I just thought it would be funny. (Maybe it happened the same way as with Bayverse Hot Rod. Visited Texas, and now the accent is stuck)
Summary: You had lived your entire sparklinghood in the streets, having been raised by a low-caste bot. As far as you were concerned, you felt pretty contented with your life. But then, after becoming an adult and donating your energon for extra money, your life suddenly takes a turn when you're discovered to be the long-lost heir from Prima Prime's lineage. You are then tossed into the life of luxury and privilege. Will you be able to make a difference with your new status, or will you be consumed by the lies that seemingly lurk behind the gold?
(Author's note: A special fic request for @shiny-sol for making me my current new profile pic. I hope you enjoy it ❤)
Warnings: fem!reader, Gadget lightly exploiting you, living in poverty, and doing some criminal things, some familial fluff, caste system, you getting arrested, inaccurate court stuff, the high caste guys trying to groom you into a puppet, secrets, manipulation, murder mystery, hacking into things, violence, stealing stuff, and then ending hinting the start of the war.
-As far as you could remember, you had spent your entire sparklinghood on the streets.
-You are not sure how you ended up living as a lower caste, especially when you were one of the rare bots born from a sparkbond. But the main story is that your adoptive sire, Gadget, found you abandoned beneath some trash in a slum — a newborn sparkling with no creators in sight. He concluded that your creators were likely some poor bots who passed away from an illness or became victims of criminals, as crime and illnesses ravaged the sector at the time.
-Considering the society you were currently living in, you were satisfied with the story. It was realistic enough. Knowing the truth wasn’t your main concern, especially when you needed to focus on keeping yourself alive each day.
-Your adoptive sire, a lower caste medic and a trader, decided to take you under his wing despite the responsibilities it brought. Though he likely took you in for the advantages you could bring him. Growing up under him, you travelled around Cybertron, getting by on whatever scrap and energon you could get.
-He taught you everything you needed to know and used you to get extra energon and scraps from unsuspecting passersby. No one could resist a helpless sparkling. Maybe not the morally right thing to do, but since you got stuff from the scams too, you didn’t complain. Your sire could have kept all of it to himself, giving you only enough not to starve.
-Your adoptive sire was a scammer, sold things at high prices, and practiced medicine without a license. However, he was not the worst sire you could have had. He kept you fed, taught you how to survive, and even taught you some stuff about basic medicine. He wasn’t emotionally or physically abusive. Though he often said that once you were full-grown and could fend for yourself, he would be out of your life.
-So you grew, learned to survive, did side hustles to earn some money, and became experienced enough to spot lies and dangers that could get you killed. You even adopted your adoptive sire’s habit of digging through trash bins and scrap yards for treasures you could sell or use to treat someone.
-At the age of your teens, you had pretty much seen every place on Cybertron, the worst of society, and met bots, who were at the top of criminal wanted lists.
-Even though Gadget taught you not to be highly empathic, as it could make you an easy prey for exploitation. You never stopped feeling for the bots, who suffered under Cybertron’s system, wishing you could do something to ease their struggles. However, as you were technically just another lower-caste bot, with no power or influence, you kept it to yourself. You only helped when it was possible and brought no consequences, as the current society had made it impossible to do kind acts without getting killed because of it.
-The only bots you were openly able to help were sparklings and some elderly bots. Thanks to Gadget teaching you some medicine, you were able to treat their basic injuries with scraps you found, though Gadget often complained about wasting good spare parts. The sparklings were fun to play with, and the elderly bots had good stories to tell since society paid no attention to them.
-So, despite being a lower caste bot, your life wasn’t that bad. It was not how the bots in higher class lived, but you made the most of it.
-Now, you were only a few days away from becoming a full-grown adult. You and your adoptive sire stuck around in a city, thinking about what you could do as an adult. Despite what he said about leaving after your creation day – or the day he found you — Gadget actually stuck around and threw some suggestions what you could do for a career. Since you were technically already his apprentice, you could start trading together which could add more profit to the business.
-You told him that you have been thinking about going to medical school since you have already learned a lot from him. Gadget said that medical school was expensive and getting the license was not an easy task, thanks to society. That’s why he dropped out. If you were serious, you could just learn from other underground doctors and do it at a lower price.
-You shared that you wanted to help people and treat them for free, believing their right to healthcare shouldn’t be locked behind an impossible paywall. And you have actually been collecting money through donating your energon since those paid pretty well.
-Your sire scolded you, saying that giving your energon to public donations could get you a profile and be tracked by the system. You reminded him that you used a fake name so you shouldn’t be too easily recognized.
-He shook his helm and stated that it was still a foolish decision.
-He then said he will be happy that you won’t be his problem anymore, and, surprisingly, gave you a metal wallet with a hefty sum of money. As a parting gift to help you get started with your new adult life.
-He added that if you failed miserably or dropped out once you saw that medical school was impossible, you would be welcomed to become his business partner if things became desperate.
-You only smiled and thanked him. Though he was a scammer and an illegal doctor, his spark wasn’t completely dim.
-You then had a small celebration when your creation day came. Gadget brought you to a bar and allowed you to drink alcohol for the first time in your life. In his words, your introduction to one of the greatest pleasures in life and your best friend when you need to wallow in misery. He definitely took embarrassing pictures of you when you got drunk and experienced your first hangover the next morning. Of course, he denied it, but you decided to let him have it.
-Little did you know, your adoptive sire was right, and that your energon donation side hustle would end up taking your life to a completely different direction.
-Because the next day, after recovering from your hangover, you were collecting spare parts or scraps from trash bins. Suddenly, you were approached by law enforcers, asking if you were the person with your fake name. Like you were taught, you told them no, but when they showed a surveillance picture of you leaving the donation center. You ran for it.
-They gave chase, and since you knew the streets, they struggled to keep up. When it looked like you were about to get away, more of them suddenly appeared out of nowhere. You were grabbed, put into handcuffs, and dragged along.
-You immediately thrashed and yelled at them to let you go, as you hadn’t broken any laws. They didn’t let you go, and you were taken from the streets you knew. At that moment, you felt some fear in your spark, as anyone taken by law enforcement never returned
-Well, you didn’t end up before a court or in a rusty cell, accused of crimes the law enforces made up. But you were put into an empty room and kept in cuffs since you were being ‘difficult.’ You didn’t know what they wanted, and it made you scared, even though you didn’t show it. So, in that situation, you demanded a public defender. When they kept quiet, you began lightly kicking the table, making noise.
-When someone finally arrived, you demanded a public defender again or to be released, as you hadn’t broken any laws to your knowledge. This guy suddenly revealed that you were not being arrested and said your cuffs would be taken off if you agreed to cooperate.
-Begrudgingly, you agreed, and your servos were finally free from the cuffs.
- You asked what you were brought in for then, and the guy then started explaining something about your energon results having been checked and that long ago, Forseti, the principle of Justice and son of Prima Prime, was murdered with his conjux and his heir had been missing for cycles. Your energon matches that lineage, and there was a high possibility that you were the long-lost heir of justice.
-At that moment, the only reaction you could give them was to burst into laughter.
”I knew you guys had a hobby of making things up so you could arrest people. But this is just ridiculous,” you said between the laughs. “Ever considered a career in comedy?” you asked with a grin.
-Baffled, the guy insisted that he was telling the truth.
“Yeah, sure. Then that means the psychiatrist downtown is Primus,” you replied.
-You then asked if the joke was over, and if you could go now.
-But despite that, the guy was insistent, even showing you the energon results and how your CNA was a match with the supposed CNA of Forseti and his conjux. However, you were not buying it, claiming that CNA results can be fabricated.
-The guy looked tired, and then he said that there was one person who could prove to you that you were, in fact, the heir of justice. You were then brought to Iacon’s archives and met this old guy named Alpha Trion.
-He said you shared some similarities with your grandsire Prima. You were honestly getting tired of this joke. The law officers told him you had a matching CNA, but you were insistent that you weren't who they thought you were.
-From the corner of your optics, you noticed a red and blue bot who was watching the scene curiously. He was kinda cute if you were being honest.
-Alpha Trion then said that there was one way to find out if you were truly Forseti’s long-lost sparkling. He suggested giving you the sacred treasure that belonged to Forseti, explaining that only those from the principle of Justice’s lineage can activate it. If it activates in your servos, then that proves it, and if not, then that should clear all doubts.
-You weren’t convinced, but accepted the little challenge. You asked them if you could go free if you touched it and it didn’t do anything. The enforcer guy sighed and said yes.
-You were then given what seemed to be a small dagger. It looked like it was made of gold and had strange markings on it. In the middle of its guards was what looked like a small white gem. A pretty-looking trinket, but it didn’t look like anything special.
-You swirled it around and waited for something to happen. Others watched too, but time passed.
“Wait,” you said, tensing up and looking at the dagger, “I think something’s happening!”
The others watched in tension, but Alpha Trion seemed to furrow his brows.
“IT’S! IT’S … Absolutely nothing,” you said with an indifferent expression.
Everyone except Alpha Trion groaned.
“You certainly share Prima’s poor sense of humor.” Alpha Trion stated.
-The enforcer guy groaned and finally said that maybe there was a mistake.
-You glanced at the gem in the dagger and asked what it would do before touching it. The gem suddenly glowed, and then the dagger suddenly transformed into a sword, shining with golden light.
-You held it with both hands as it became a bit heavier.
-Everyone watched in stunned silence. The enforcer guy looked like he was delighted and claimed that you were indeed the heir of justice.
-Okay, now you were freaked out. This doesn’t look like it could be fabricated or faked.
-You try to deny the performance and say the blade could probably activate with everyone.
-The enforcer guy groaned and touched the blade’s gem. It immediately turned back into a dagger, proving it doesn’t activate under anyone else's touch. You are the first one who's been able to activate it since Forseti’s passing.
-You then asked what would happen now. The guy went on about how it's a celebration that the lost heir had been found. You said no and that you were fine with the life you already had.
-The mech looked like he was infuriated with you, complaining about your constant questioning. You told him that questioning everything is what helped you survive.
-Alpha Trion suddenly stepped in, saying stuff about how this is new and that you should be allowed to learn about your lineage instead of being forced into it from the life you were familiar with.
-After that, a thought crossed your mind: if you now had influence, maybe you could get money to help out your adoptive sire and the bots in the lower district.
-With that thought in mind, you finally agreed.
-The next few days were tiring, to say the least. You were brought to a place that was supposedly your creator’s home, having been empty since the day they died. It was spacious and lavish, definitely different from what you were used to. It even had a berth that had soft cushions.
-You were then cleaned of all the dirt and scratches you had on your frame. It was at first a bit embarrassing to get washed by servants, as you could have easily done it by yourself, also because some of your scratches held good memories for you.
-After the cleanup, you nearly didn’t recognize yourself. You were now able to see some similarities with the people who were supposedly your creators and grandsire. You were able to compare as there was a portrait that showed Forseti and the one supposedly your carrier.
-They honestly looked like ordinary people, happy even. You looked at the sparkling that was supposedly you and recognized the blanket the sparkling was wrapped in. It was definitely the blanket your adoptive sire found you in, and the one you had used through your sparklinghood.
-It had dulled from its original color and lost its softness over the cycles, but you could recognize it anywhere.
-Maybe you were the heir of justice.
-Next, you met this governing guy, who introduced himself as Virtue. He explained that he would be acting as your guide and helping you get introduced to high-class life.
-Following Virtue’s lead, you attended a high-class party — a celebration for the return of Forseti’s heir, apparently. There, you were introduced to the members of the High Council, and they told you a lot of stuff, though you didn’t pay much attention to them. You also felt like you were a spectacle to be watched by the high caste bots.
-They shared a lot of condolences for your creators’ demise, which felt weird because you couldn’t really feel sad for people you never met or knew.
-When you asked about how they died, they shared that your creators were killed in an ambush by lowly criminals and that you disappeared after the attack. It was then assumed for a long time that you were kidnapped and held hostage by the culprits, but you didn’t resurface till now.
-It felt odd because from what you heard, Forseti was a respected judge, and even criminals held him in good regard.
-The bots then began to remark on things about your behaviour and the way you stood. Virtue said that you behaved that way because you grew up on the streets, but with proper etiquette, it could be corrected. It made you frown. Okay, you already didn’t like this guy.
-The next day, Virtue took you to the infamous courthouse of justice. There, he showed you the courtroom, where your sire used to hold trials and give judgment upon those who were brought forth.
-There was this large-scale-like device called The Scales of Aequitas. Apparently, it measured the truth of the spark held in court and the energy produced by the evidence provided by the court. If the energy of evidence held heavier than the spark, then the person would be guilty, but if the spark weighed heavier than the opposite energy, then the person was innocent. Usually, the judge gave the final word, but since Forseti’s death, the court had operated on the device’s judgment.
-Virtue then allowed you to see it in action and watch as a person was judged before the device. The person was, apparently, a thief, and you watched as the bot was found guilty and given a rather harsh sentence in prison.
-You didn’t know if you liked what you saw. It felt like another spectacle for the high classes to watch the low-class bots suffer, since there were stands where the high caste could watch the court proceedings.
-After the introductory days, you were given a schedule and told that you would be taking classes to properly educate yourself. You found your way back to the Iacon archives, where you met Alpha Trion, who then taught you about Cybertron’s history and stuff about your lineage. Honestly speaking, he seemed like the only honest mech and didn’t mind your questions.
-There, you met the blue and red bot again. You started a conversation with him and learned his name to be Orion Pax. Apparently, he was an archivist and Alpha Trion’s apprentice. You two talked for a while, and you found it surprisingly easy to talk with him.
-So, the next few days, you mostly came to the archives to see Orion and listen to the lectures whenever your mind agreed to listen. He taught you about history, law, and philosophy, which even you found interesting. You listened to him better than your assigned teachers, so Alpha Trion discreetly let Orion do the teaching.
-In return, you told Orion about your life on the streets. He looked fascinated and listened, even though some of his opinions were a bit naive.
-Realizing he hadn't ventured much outside the archives, you convinced him to tag along and see some places. He felt hesitant but agreed when you asked him to show you around Iacon. You agreed on a date.
-The week was eventful; then you remembered your adoptive sire and decided to check on him, or at least let him know you weren’t dead. You grabbed your cloak and covered yourself, since you looked like a Shiny now, which was a term used by the lower caste to describe the high caste. You also took whatever money you could to give him.
-You tracked down Gadget, who was surprised to see you alive. You told him everything that happened, and when you told him about the blanket, he agreed it made much more sense now, since the day he found you was rather strange. He momentarily complained about how he could have received a high reward if he had returned you to the authorities when you were sparkling, and how he wasted resources in raising you.
-He went quiet quickly when you showed him the bag of money you brought, snatched it, and said it's a good payment for taking you under his wing.
-You then shared how you were in a position to help other low-caste bots, especially after you finished up your education and took your sire’s place.
-Gadget warned you not to trust the high caste easily. The low-caste criminals were known liars, but the high-caste bots were the greatest schemers, more dangerous even. Who knows if the high-caste bots had a greater plan for bringing you in?
-You promised to keep that in mind, then told him about Orion.
-He looked at you curiously as you talked about the bot, teasing you about befriending a book nerd, and then hinting that you might like the mech more than as a friend.
-You denied his teasing. You had a feeling that Orion was an honest one, which you saw as a rarity among the Shinies.
-When you returned to your new place, Virtue appeared panicked, especially when you went out without protection. Now that you have been found, you should not take your safety lightly. Who knows if the criminals who killed your creators might come after you next? You were valuable to society itself.
-You promised to keep it in mind next time and shared that you just went to inform your adoptive sire that you were doing fine.
-Virtue then became rude and said you no longer needed to associate yourself with a low-class bot. It made you angry, and you snapped at him, telling him that your adoptive sire might be of low caste, but he raised you, so he deserved some respect. You could have ended up in the hands of someone worse.
-Virtue apologized and agreed with you, though it sounded fake.
-On the following days, you were given the opportunity to act as a judge in the courtroom, especially after you memorized most of the known laws. You took a seat on the throne, and Virtue stood on your side, giving you instructions on how things worked.
-A bot was brought before you. Definitely a bot who was poor and looked scared, not a hardened criminal you had seen on the streets. You were then told that this guy was found guilty of stealing supplies and had evidence of him committing the crime. The evidence spark went down.
-It looked clear enough, but you saw the bot was not given a chance to speak. You interrupted the side judges, telling them to give the bot a chance to explain himself and why he was stealing the stuff.
-The guy looked startled, but then spoke, admitting that he did steal. There was no work, and he and his conjux were going hungry, for they lived in a poor district.
-His spark on the scales went down, equalizing the weight, which meant he was telling the truth.
-You asked more, and he told you that the economy of his district was poor and that there wasn’t a lot of work. You believed him because you had visited that district before when you were younger
-Virtue and other judges spoke about giving a judgment since the scale was balanced. You spoke again that imprisoning someone over stealing, especially due to rough conditions, was rather harsh, and his conjux would have no one to care for them.
-You suggested instead of imprisonment, the mech would be charged a fine for stealing, as that was in the written laws, and as a way to pay it up, he would do community service. And during that time, his conjux could be given care during his absence.
-Virtue and other judges looked speechless, and since it was the law, they concluded that it was fair. That was then passed as the judgment, and the bot bowed his helm constantly, thanking you for the fair judgment.
-As the next trials followed, you did a lot of speaking, letting the charged speak up. Most of them weren’t even serious criminals; one even seemed to have been charged over a misunderstanding. For some reason, Virtue and other high-class bots seemed displeased or bored.
-At the end of the day, you thought you did a pretty good job at it.
-However, Virtue acted rather differently. He said that, though you did what a proper judge would do, it would be easier to let the Scales decide on the judgment than question everything and make it fair. Not every bot on Cybertron deserved a fair trial.
- It made you raise a brow, and you asked are you not supposed to give fair judgment.
-Virtue shook his helm and explained that it might be easier for you to follow the other judges’ lead since you were still pretty young. Your word will be followed once you are older and more experienced.
-His explanation made you feel suspicious. It felt like he and the other bots wanted you to follow a script or something.
–It was strange, but you forgot about it when the date with Orion arrived.
-Orion had his duties sorted, and Alpha Trion had given his blessing for a free day. Honestly, the old guy seemed encouraging about Orion going out. With those set, you then dragged the archivist outside the archives.
-As planned, Orion showed you around Iacon, well, the nice places at least. You had been to Iacon before, though in its shadier parts.
-You two also talked openly while walking on the streets.
-Orion complimented the way you handled the courtroom trials. He said he was there to see it and how they seemed much fairer than the trials held in the past.
-You felt your face burn a little since that was the first compliment you received after that day.
-At the end of the tour, he had planned to run an errand on the way, but struggled to find the item he was looking for at a lower price. You revealed that you knew a place and pulled him to the lower districts you usually stayed at after your travels with your adoptive sire.
-He looked around curiously, most likely having never seen a lower district market before.
-You also took it as a chance to show off street survival knowledge.
-You got him a vendor who sold the items he was looking for. The vendor immediately tried to sell the item at a high price, which you intervened in and prevented Orion from being scammed.
-Orion got his item and seemed amazed by how you seem to be able to notice a lie from one word only.
-You bragged that on the streets you needed to be a good judge of character, before pointing out that he was technically shiny, then proceeding to pinch some dust on him to make him a less interesting target.
-You walked around the district for a while, and you greeted some people who knew you. Orion gave polite nods. You told him about each of them and how you have technically known them since sparklinghood.
-Orion did express his concern about their poor appearances and how they lived rather poorly compared to the middle class. You shrugged your shoulders and said that you survived with all you could get. The lower caste communities take care of each other when they can.
-You two returned from the date, and he expressed that he had a fun day and that maybe you two could do it again. You encouraged a trip in early future and encouraged a little mischief of skipping a few lessons. Calling him a bit of a two-goodie shoe.
-And as you promised, you took him out on a few more dates. Technically, a few times, you kidnapped him from staring at datapads all day and spent time with you outside. You tried to avoid Alpha Trion's notice, but you noticed him shaking his helm a few times and didn't make it an issue. So it looked like the old mech didn't mind.
-You brought Orion to places that showed amazing skylines, brought him to see good lower-district places, and sometimes you ended up running away from gangs that Gadget owed money to. You and Orion survived them, though you got a few bruises, which the latter helped you patch up while lightly scolding you.
-Maybe giving him a few lessons on street survival since you noticed that he was a terrible liar.
-One time, you did genuinely ask him for help carrying stuff. He agreed since it wasn't another skip, and he followed you to a place while seeing you were carrying medicine, fresh frame parts, and things that looked like items used to treat people.
-You took him to one of the poorest parts of a lower-caste district, greeting several bots who had seen better days or were missing limbs.
-He then watched as you delivered medicine to some bots, who you managed to get a doctor appointment and description since they couldn't afford. How you used medic skills you learned from your adoptive sire to give the amputees their limbs back, and how you gave new toys to the sparklings and energon canister that could last the community for weeks.
-Orion seemed shocked by their state and after your trip, you explained how it came to be and how most of those people couldn't even afford basic medicine.
-He admitted that he hadn't thought it was that bad for the lower caste, while you said that there were worse things, before thanking him for his help.
-Orion said how he admired that you sought to help people.
-After that, you had an opportunity to introduce him to Gadget. Gadget was a little rude until you warned him a little, and he was civil with Orion. He teased you in front of Orion and noted how he had seen you two spend a lot of time together.
-After pushing Orion to wait for you elsewhere, Gadget teased you about nerdy archivists being your type and bluntly told you that you were falling for the red and blue mech. He saw through your denial and said that he knew the look of love when he saw it.
-When you thought about your time spent together. Orion had looked after you during lectures, shared energon during breaks, and even gave you a blanket once you fell asleep. And how often he asked how your days were whenever you visited.
-Okay, maybe you did like Orion.
-Gadget admitted that Orion seemed like an honest mech, a type that would definitely get eaten alive on the streets.
"Not if I'm there to beat the bad guys up," you replied.
"Aw, look at you. Already protective of your future trophy conjux," Gadget teased.
-Okay. You loved your adoptive sire, but sometimes he made you want to beat him up.
-With the supposed freedom and access to your family assets, you started donating money and stuff to charities and to the bots from your district. You even sent some to Gadget since you could help him out.
-However, the first time you did so, Virtue pulled you to the side and started acting strangely again. He vented about you moving in public and wasting your resources on charities. You questioned about it, and whether you were allowed to use your family’s money.
-He said that legally, yes, then said that there are better things for you to care about — things that really matter to society.
-You pointed out that helping lower caste bots out prevents them from turning toward crime, so technically, you were helping society out. Also, because no other high caste bots seem to be doing the same.
-He appeared annoyed, but dropped it when you said that legally you can do what you want with your money.
-However, it got you thinking. Maybe you could talk to the High Council members about the problems in society and convince them to fix them.
-You presented this idea with Orion, who supported it, saying that with your experience, they might notice issues that have gone past their notice.
-So, at the next party, you willingly attended and spoke with the council members. You tried to address the issues and throw suggestions on how to fix them. There had been a rise in criminal activity, and most of these were caused by the fact that making a living honestly had been impossible due to the high taxes, low wages, and growing prizes. You experienced these as a young sparkling, so you knew what could fix them.
-Some of them promised to consider your suggestions, while some of them seemed dismissive of the problems. Some of those bots ended up giving critiques about you donating to charities and helping the lower-caste bots.
-It felt like talking to rusted lampposts, because all the things you brought up vanished in the next conversation. Even Virtue acted dismissively about it.
-It left you more suspicious. Especially because then your schedule got busy, you had less free time, and Virtue gave someone else the job of handing your donations to the charities. It also prevented you from seeing Orion, which pissed you off in a way.
-You were put through repetitive lessons and things that actually felt like they had nothing to do with preparing you to take up Forseti’s mantle.
-It felt like you were purposely being confined in your creator’s home, forced to go through repetitive lessons, and not allowed to walk freely.
-To escape these, you claimed to want to read other materials in Iacon’s archives. Thankfully, Virtue bought it, though you were made to be accompanied by a guard or two. Still felt oppressive, but you were given a chance to chat with Orion.
-You confined in Orion about this and feel like you are being trained to be a puppet rather than the next Arbiter of justice. Orion admits that there are issues with the high class and the current system, telling you that he had noticed a pattern that once appeared in the past, and feared the current society was headed toward it once more.
-While browsing through some historic text, you spotted the date when the caste system was implemented, then out of curiosity, checked the date when your creators passed away. What caught your attention next was that the years were awfully close. The caste system was implemented two years after your creator’s death.
-However, Orion claimed that he didn't think of the council members as manipulative and that maybe there was a reason.
-You challenged him on this, telling him that the things he had seen in the districts were because of the high caste, and that's why the High Council had allowed such poverty to exist in the first place. Not to mention that while he was terrible at lying, he also didn't have the best optics to spot lies.
-It was a back-and-forth for a while before Orion reluctantly agreed to the possibility of the High Council being manipulative.
-Orion then revealed that he had been speaking to a gladiator from Kaon, who had been appealing before the High Council to receive a chance to speak with them.
-You knew about Kaon, having been there before as a sparkling, and knew some kaon bots were either forced or could participate in gladiator matches to earn a living. It was a violent thing to survive, and not for the weak. Perhaps also the only possible way for Kaonians to get some money to feed themselves.
-He then suggested a meeting and that maybe you could work together on the idea of reforming society.
-Though the idea of a bot from Kaon wanting to reform society sounded new, you agreed to it.
-So, after agreeing on a day and escaping your babysitters, you joined Orion, and he introduced you to a mech called Megatronus. A large mech with a fierce appearance, who was also apparently in charge of the new movement that had been going about Cybertron.
-Despite his appearance, he was surprisingly civil and easy to talk to when you conversed about the issues with Cybertron. He had apparently seen the few court trials you oversaw and found it pleasing how you handled them.
-You spoke about your current position and how you have noticed you seemed to have been treated more like a puppet than an actual heir. But you could see if you could get him a chance to speak to the High Council. Megatron expressed his gratitude and stated that if you succeeded and required assistance from him and his movement in the future, they would owe you one.
-After that, you tried to have an audience with the High Council members. Of course, Virtue tried to keep you busy, so you had to slip under his radar and approach the members yourself. You told them about Megatronus and the movement, and about giving him a chance for an audience.
-Due to the growing movement and public attention, you managed to convince some of the members, and they were enough to sway the rest. You enthusiastically messaged Orion about it and let him deliver the news to Megatronus and the meeting date.
-Feeling yourself prepared to handle more trials, you asked Virtue if you could go again about overseeing the trials. Strangely, your presence is not required, or that you should study more.
-You are pretty sure you have already read all the materials you could to take a court exam and become a public defender.
-When you insisted that you could see through trials, and that staying away won’t get you the experience you need to become the next Arbiter of Justice.
-Virtue finally relented, and you found your way back to the courthouse of justice. You oversaw the trials as before, checking everything and throwing your suggestions.
-But then the scales device acted differently. After the discussions, the opposite energy suddenly became heavier even though it was balanced or lighter than the charged spark. Virtue and others insisted all was fine and that you should trust the machine’s judgement.
-It did not feel right at all, especially when it happened again for other trials. One moment it was balanced, then the scale went to guilty. You watched as the charges spoke and the scale dipped in favor of the evidence, which usually meant the charged was lying. However, you were able to tell that the charged was telling you the truth.
-You insisted on checking if there was something wrong with the Scales, because now it seemed like it was tipping when the charged was telling the truth. That perhaps it had been tampered with. Virtue insisted that all was fine, and that perhaps the charged was truly lying. It was impossible to tamper with the Scales of Aquetas, as it was also a severe sin.
-You then watched helplessly as most of the bots held in trial were given a harsh sentence.
-You tried to discuss it with Virtue about checking the device just to be sure, but he then went on about how you were possibly tired and that he had a mechanic check the device later.
-You could not stop thinking about the entire thing. You shared this with Orion, who had watched the trial and found it strange too. The Scales had not acted that way before.
-He helped you check the blueprints for the device, and you checked all you could, memorizing them.
-This also deepened your suspicion about the High Council using foul play.
-While browsing through archives, you decided to look through the strange coincidence between the years when the caste system was implemented and your creators’ deaths. Before your creators’ deaths, the system was much different back then, less classificatory. The caste system came to power after their death and the society began to regress ever since.
-It was said your creators were killed by criminals or terrorists, but considering that fact, you had a strange feeling.
-Could it be possible that your creators weren’t killed by criminals?
-You decided to approach Alpha Trion and discuss with him about the society and honesty. You had asked him about your creators before, but for sure, you asked if either Forseti or Prima would have approved the system today. He was rather vague with his answer, sharing that both Forseti and Prima shared the strong sense of justice.
-He then gave you a data key, saying that with it, you might bring light into the things kept in the dark. It left you suspicious. Did he know things he couldn't say outright?
-You tried to think about his words and the data key. At night, while walking back, you swayed on your path to see Virtue about checking the Scales device. At the door, you heard him talking to someone, and you froze at what you heard.
-You heard Virtue talking to one of the council members about how molding you into a puppet had been challenging. Due to your upbringing on the streets, you were much more stubborn. With the remote control, they can control the Scales device to follow their verdict. Then maybe you will feel less inclined to play fair judge.
-So, the Scales were indeed tampered with.
-You backed away and kept your intake shut, even though you wanted to burst in and beat Virtue until he was nothing but a pile of bolts.
-With this latest discovery, you began thinking about the data key Alpha Trion gave you and the possible truth of your creators' passing. Looks like you need to do some digging.
-Finding a chance to sneak out and go uncover, you approached Megatronus and asked for his help in uncovering a secret. He introduced you to Soundwave, who specialized in hacking and decryption.
-You and Soundwave snuck into the data archives of the High Council, thinking you might find the secret there. It was a bit unfortunate that Megtronus’s meeting with the High Council was on the same day, and you were gonna miss it.
-You gave the data key to Soundwave, and he used it to hack into the data centers. You asked him to look through anything about Forseti and the day of his and his conjux’s death.
-It took a while, but then Soundwave found something. You looked through old documents, which revealed the assassination plan against your creators by Virtue and the High Council. Forseti opposed the system idea, which was only implemented after he was gone. He was taken away so the High Council could take power.
-The ambush was actually orchestrated by the High Council. You were hidden away by a servant so you wouldn’t be exploited by them. It made much more sense.
-That was perhaps the first time you felt angry for your dead creators.
-It also strengthened your idea that they were trying to turn you into their puppet. They never intended to give you any form of power.
-You got out of the data centers with Soundwave and thanked him for his help after getting out. He gave a subtle nod before departing.
-You reunited with Orion, who then shared what happened during the audience between Megatronus and the High Council --- how he had intervened and how he and Megatronus had a huge disagreement afterward.
-You shared your sympathy for him and assured that maybe he and Megatronus will make up once the latter cools off.
-You then shared with him what you found out and the truth about your creators’ death. Orion was shocked, as expected, especially to find out the High Council was responsible for your creator's death.
- You told him that the High Council needed to be exposed for their crimes. Orion insisted that since you had the evidence, you could do it without violence. You argued that the High Council had never been fair to anything, so why should they be treated fairly? He then reminded you that striking them with violence would not be any better.
-A fast argument grew between you. You made points about all the crimes the High Council had committed, and Orion pointed out that a society's reform can't start with an execution.
-You asked him why he argued so hard about it since you both are against the High Council.
"Do you really want to know why I'm arguing so hard about this?" Orion asked.
"Yes!" you said with your arms spread.
"It's because I don't want to lose you!" Orion exclaimed.
-That silenced you as you tried to process what he said. He didn't want to lose you?
-Orion sighed, calming himself down. He slowly confessed that he had grown to care for you more than just a friend, and that he found himself afraid that this might consume you, or worse, lead you to death.
-You processed this quietly. He cared for you?
-You knew you liked him, but... You never really expected him to like you back.
-With this knowledge, you decided to share that though Gadget had taught you to never deeply become attached to people, you had grown to care for him more than you should.
-Releasing a sigh, you calmed down and told him you were convinced to take a less violent approach in exposing the High Council. Orion looked relieved. You agreed on a date to plan this out.
-You returned to your house, feigning to Virtue that you were out for a walk for fresh air, and then asked about future trials. Then Virtue spoke about a future trial and how a lowly underground medic had been arrested.
-You froze when you realized who he was talking about. Gadget. They had imprisoned your adoptive sire.
-Virtue then hinted that if you played nicely and followed the trial, then your adoptive sire might be given a milder sentence. However, in prison he had to go since he is a criminal. And in which prison he can stay might be up to you.
-It made the energon in your veins boil, and you tried to contain yourself from doing anything rash. Thoughts filled your mind.
-Forseti would have demanded a fair trial. Gadget would have told you to slit his throat before he had the chance to strike first. For the first time, you weren't sure which lesson you should follow.
-But one thing was for sure. You had to see Virtue taken down.
-You agreed and faked a smile. He bought it and looked satisfied, promising you don’t need to trouble your helm with idle matters.
-Little did he know that, as a street rat, you knew a few things about how to move stealthily and steal things from secure places.
-In the middle of the night, you broke through the security and approached Virtue’s office. There, you found the remote control you saw and took it.
-You then disappeared into the night after taking all you could need, since you won’t be coming back.
-Moving on the streets, you moved toward Iacon, as there was one last thing you needed.
-You went to the archives and secretly took the sacred treasure that belonged to Forseti. However, before you could make it out. Orion found you. Of course, the bot had to be on archive duty.
-You didn't decide to lie and told him everything and the situation with your adoptive sire. You apologized, explaining that the High Council had gone too far and you needed to save Gadget. The society couldn't be fixed. It had to be taken down completely.
-Orion said that doing this would mean no turning back. You told him that you were aware of the consequences, but now that Gadget's life was on the line, there was no way you could stand on the side.
"Then... do what you have to do," Orion said.
-You felt mildly surprised but didn't say anything. Walking past him, you stopped for a moment, not looking at him. If you did, then you likely wouldn't be able to do it.
"I'm sorry it had to end this way," you said, nearly in a whisper, before leaving.
-Orion glanced at your leaving frame, raising his servo toward you, but then lowered it. Despite what his duties would have demanded of him, he never raised the alarms.
-On the day of your adoptive sire’s trial, Gadget was in cuffs and forced to stand before the Scales of Aquetas. Strangely, to all the bots present, there was no sight of you.
-The court proceeded as usual, and the opposite energy tipped heavily against him. As the judges were about to deliver the harshest sentence, the courtroom doors were kicked open. Everyone turned their helms and saw you standing there, carrying your sire’s sacred treasure.
“Objection!” you yelled, holding the glowing sword.
-Virtue and other judges were startled and visibly panicked. People murmured about how they heard you had better things to do, while you only declared that none of it was true and that they attempted to sentence your adoptive sire, who had raised you, and use him as leverage against you.
-You accused Virtue and the council of tampering with the Scales, using them to give judgments as they pleased. They denied it, of course, and claimed that you had been brainwashed.
-You then asked if they could one hundred percent prove that the device had not been tampered with and that all trials had been fair. They concurred.
-You then struck Forseti’s sword into the Scales, startling everyone. You then opened it up and pulled a device that was not part of it.
“So, all trials had been fair?” you demanded, holding the device.
-You then took the remote control and demonstrated how the device sabotaged the Scales with the button, exposing the lie.
-You took out the controller device and smashed it against the ground. You then accused Virtue and the council of the murder of your creators.
-You showed the evidence, and the scales dipped in your favor. Virtue and the council were forced to answer, but their lies did not balance the scales, exposing them further.
-Virtue ordered the guards to apprehend you. Too bad for them that you had a sword and you had fought on the streets before.
-You used the sword to beat down your opponents and then struck the cuffs of Gadget’s servos. You two made the run out of the courtroom house.
-Outside, there was suddenly fighting everywhere. It was an entire warzone. You defended Gadget as best as you could while trying to flee from Virtue’s people.
-When you got surrounded, seekers suddenly rained fire on Virtue’s people. They had a symbol on them that you recognized as Megatronus's movement's symbol.
-Your optics then locked with Orion across the battlefield. For a moment, you hesitated, but then turned away.
-You grabbed your adoptive sire and left.
-Since that day, Cybertron was never the same. What followed was an all-out war. The High Council was no more. Megatronus had renamed himself Megatron and declared himself the leader of the Decepticons. Orion Pax, through fate and ordeals, earned himself the Matrix of Leadership and became Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots.
-No one knows what became of you. Some say you had escaped Cybertron with your adoptive sire and those you could take with you. Some say you perished during the war, which also meant the end of Prima Prime's line.
-Orion, now Optimus, would wonder about this mystery too as he gazed at the stars from a distant planet called Earth. Despite what happened and how things turned out, he never lost his feelings for you and wished that somewhere among the stars, you were alive and free.
Summary: Imagine Bulkhead's little Predacons meeting Wheeljack, defeating Predaking, and discovering a unique ability.
Warnings: maybe some lazy writing, mentions of the base's destruction, being on the run, hiding, explosions, violence, one of you gets blasted with fire, Predaking gets wrecking balled by a bunch of kids.
______________________________________________
- The second year had passed. You and your siblings had grown bigger. You all were now the size of a pickup truck. Your speech had also improved, and you all were fully capable of transformation, though you often preferred to stay in your beast mode.
-You all had delightful personalities too.
-Bulkhead had become more experienced in raising sparklings, even though you were Predacon sparklings. He knew when to use a gentle voice and when to use a strict voice.
-Even Miko, to Ratchet's delight, learned to be a little more responsible when it comes to you all. It took a few crashes, bruises, and the destruction of items that likely belonged to Ratchet. But she learned to think for a few seconds and take a more careful approach with her reckless shenanigans.
-Just a little thought. She's still a bad influence on you all.
-Even though the medic would deny it, Ratchet had grown fond of you and your siblings. He had accepted that you had continued to prove him wrong with each assumption he had made about the Predacons.
-Seeing you grow this much made Bulkhead a little sad and nostalgic about the day you first opened your optics. It made him feel strange panic when he contemplated the day he could easily fit you all on his palm, and now you weighed like boulders. June explained that it was called parental panic, which was completely normal.
-Perhaps in a few more years, you and your siblings will be full-grown Predacons. Optimus suspected that, according to your growth speed and the fact that you were constantly growing. You and your siblings will be at least ten Earth years old when you become fully grown Predacons.
-Bulkhead didn’t mind that since it also meant he had eight Earth years left to enjoy you and your siblings still being babies. Omega One was safe enough to help you grow till then. Well… until it got destroyed by the Decepticons.
-After the mission with the Omega lock went wrong, he and the rest of the team soon found out that the cons had pinpointed the location of their base, forcing them all to escape through the ground earth bridge separately.
-Bulkhead was sent out with Miko, you, and your siblings.
-Since you and your siblings couldn’t blend in among the humans, you all were sent to a location filled with forests.
-You and your siblings moved through the forest effortlessly. But sometimes, Bulkhead would have to drive on forest roads whenever the terrain became too bumpy to use his alt-mode. You and your siblings managed to follow him without an issue, using your sense of smell whenever you lost sight of them.
-Bulkhead would be on guard 24/7, anxious for Miko’s and your safety.
-When you made a stop at a meadow, you would be napping with Miko while your siblings wrestled with each other to pass the time, while Bulkhead and Miko waited for Wheeljack or others to arrive. Watching your siblings play would ease Bulkhead’s anxiety for a while.
-When Wheeljack arrived, having escaped the cons after having been captured for buying Bulkhead and the rest of the team some time to escape.
“Papa. Who is that?” you started as you and your siblings looked at the new mech.
-Bulkhead then introduced Wheeljack to you, his Predacon sparklings. Having not found a chance to introduce you, since Wheeljack was travelling a lot and Ratchet had refused to allow the bomb-loving mech to be introduced to you.
-Wheeljack would tease Bulkhead a little and ask if his friend conjuxed himself to a spiky lady until Bulkhead and Miko told him the full story of how the team found you. Though finding the story funny, Wheeljack would respect his friend for stepping up.
-As Miko had told you and your siblings a little about him, you all brightened in realization.
“Wait! You’re Uncle Kaboom?!” you asked excitedly.
-Wheeljack would be a little confused by the nickname until Bulkhead and Miko explained that when they were telling you all about him, you struggled to pronounce his name, and thus you all ended up giving him a nickname due to his love of explosives.
-Understanding enough, Wheeljack nodded and fully accepted the nickname.
-You and your sibling asked him a lot of questions. When you asked if you could see an explosion, aka kaboom. Without hesitation, Wheeljack would detonate one of his bombs at a safe distance for you all to see.
“Woaaah!” you and your siblings said in unison after seeing the bright, loud blast.
-Though he would have loved to show you more, he turned you down when you asked to see more kabooms since you all were supposed to be hiding from the cons.
-Night came. You and your siblings were galloping around, trying to track down some energon with your sense of smell. Wheeljack, Bulkhead, and Miko walked behind you, planning their next move.
-You and your siblings disappeared for a moment. Then suddenly, a large dragon-like metal creature flew down from the sky. It screeched and attacked the bots, breathing fire down on them.
-The wreckers barely avoided the blast.
“A Dragon?! Where did the cons get a dragon?” Miko yelled.
-While dodging and trying to avoid getting scorched to death, they would recognize the creature as another Predacon, though a different kind, since this one could fly. This Predacon was definitely after them and would later be known as Predaking.
-Bulkhead covered Miko when Predaking slashed with his claws, giving Bulkhead a pretty bad gash.
-When Predaking prepared to blast them with his fiery breath, you slammed against his head in your ball mode. Staggering, Predaking stepped back and roared at you. Snapping back on your feet, you roared back at him.
-Soon, your siblings followed, moving down the hill in their ball modes and using rocks as ramps to pummel Predaking from different sides.
-The biggest of your siblings clamped down on Predaking’s tail, beginning to pull and tug him back. This gave you and your siblings a chance to hit the larger predacon with your tough shells.
-Predaking attempted to strike you with his claws. You pulled into ball mode, his claws scraping against your shell. However, it did not penetrate it, leaving you unharmed.
-Bulkhead quickly joined, after seeing Predaking trying to slash through your shell, tossing his wrecking ball against the Predacon’s face. Wheeljack joined as well, using his bombs and blasters. He also gave your ball modes a kick, which allowed you to slam against Predaking again.
-Seeing that he was being overpowered on the ground, Predaking broke himself free and prepared to blast his fire. You all scattered to avoid it, but you weren’t fast enough. Everyone watched in horror as you disappeared beneath the flames
“No!” Bulkhead and Miko yelled.
-But instead of being harmed by the fire, you shook it off, and everybody watched as your body seemed to absorb the heat. Your body then began glowing, and you roared at the larger Predacon.
-Startled, Predaking stood back. With this chance, the biggest of your siblings grabbed you by your tail, unaffected by your burning shell. Then, like how Miko once taught you, your sibling tossed you toward Predaking.
- You turned into ball mode and struck Predaking, the fire in your body combusting out after hitting him, like a bomb.
-Injured, Predaking roared at you. You and your siblings only roared back at him as he then retreated.
-You were smoking from the crevices of your shell and had some ashy smears, but otherwise, you were unharmed.
-You all looked at Bulkhead in excitement -- most likely expecting praise.
-Miko didn’t hesitate to come up to you and praise you.
“Good job, (Name).” She touched your armor.
“Ow! Hot! Hot! Hot!” She pulled her hand away, shaking it wildly.
-Bulkhead was relieved, though he said that he had no idea you and your siblings could do such a thing.
-You grinned. "I didn't know either. But did you see that? I went KABOOM!" you said, raising your paws up, clearly excited. This also caused you to fall backward and land on your shell, swinging around upside down.
- Bulkhead only shook his helm and helped flip you back on your feet after your frame cooled off enough.
- Miko reasoned that since your nest was near a volcano, maybe your type of Predacons had a unique tolerance for heat and an explosion ability, considering the way the heat combusted out of you after you hit the new Predacon.
- Wheeljack definitely warmed up to you, saying how you all were natural wreckers with the way you fought.
-After the fight, you all were found by Ultra Magnus. The Autobot commander would be sceptical of you and your siblings until Bulkhead explained that you were his adopted sparklings and on the good side.
-Wheeljack, of course, goes. "You got a problem with that?"
-After boarding his ship, you all set course.
-Though you behaved well in Ultra Magnus's ship, the bots soon found out that being in the air makes you four travel sick. Ultra Magnus would demand Bulkhead keep you all from vomiting in his ship. But since there wasn’t really anything he could do, Bulkhead would just sit with you and pat your and your siblings' helms.
-At the Decepticon wreck, Harbinger, you reunited with Ratchet, Bee, and Raf. You and your siblings ran out of the ship, recovering from the travel sickness after getting your paws back on the ground.
-You all charged at Raf, Bee, and Ratchet when you saw them.
-Raf giggled when one of your brothers ran up to him and laid his helm down, wagging his tail like an excited puppy. Raf gave your brother a few pats, telling him it was nice to see you all.
-Bee enthusiastically did the same when you and your siblings greeted him, circling him and Raf around, which was your way of greeting.
-You all then ran up to Ratchet, circling him and telling him everything that had happened. He would be mildly annoyed but glad to see you alive and safe. He would freeze and give Bulkhead a judgmental glare when he learned that the green mech had allowed Wheeljack to show you explosives.
-His relief would also die down when he realized that you had met Wheeljack and the wrecker likes you. Oh, no, his worst nightmare has come true.
-While Ultra Magnus made up a plan to attack Megatron’s New Darkmount, you and your siblings were left behind in Ratchet's care. Though you were able to stand your own against Predaking, you were still technically toddlers, so Bulkhead did not allow you to go.
-After Optimus's return and finding a new base, Ratchet would keep his optics on you and your siblings, dreading the moment Wheeljack would try to teach you something bad if left unsupervised.
-He would rather have Optimus destroy the Omega lock again than allow Wheeljack a moment alone with you.
Inspired by my "We Are Your Consequence" & @bird-in-the-space own spin "Their Ultimate Sin"
On Unicron's Memories of Us...Before and After "Elita Prime", This will have Warnings of Loss and Grief and how survival's guilt...
Unicron made himself a Vessel once he had more energy, in his semi-awake, semi-asleep state in the crust surrounding him...he had become a planet in some new solar system. He got curious about what surrounded him as he walked for years on top of his body
He was surprised LIFE started sprouting from his crust, an organic one at that, far too young and odd-looking. He experienced the first of everything on this planet that covers him, the first rains, the first shifts of the continents, and saw life evolve, Species too...the most curious ones took after him. He didn't know what to call them
He didn't know what to do, honestly, he didn't know why he felt he shouldn't just MOVE his body that lay dormant below these pathetic pests around him that came to be while he lay resting in his nap
From the Stone Age all the way to the Iron Age...In each Eon. He never once moved, granted, the crust around him was surprisingly comfy, his Vessel was currently observing a nest of a"Bird" as he heard these are what the Organic copies of him call it, they recently hatched but one of the creatures still blind and weak was about to fall off and just as it was about to flummet to the floor he caught the thing...
The creature was alive but far too weak yet it responded to him, it stopped crying...he could crush the vermin but that be not rewarding and boring so he simply lifted the thing to its next to the others just as the carrier and sire returned, they both started to feed the babies...thecarried bird looked at Unicron and it flied to him and nuzzled against it cheek plate only to return to its sparklings...
That's when he heard steps behind him, and he turned around slowly. A small organic sparkling was staring at him, and waddling to his pedes sand greeting him, and he spoke the tongue of the time era and region it was in
Unicron*Looks down at it*Go away...
Toddler*Looking at him, with a smile, stepping closer*...
Unicron*Sighs and waves it off to shoo it but it bears no fruit as the child finally reaches him and hugs his pede and he just stands there annoyed*Go away, go...GO away-Ugh...I don't LIKE children, unlike my brother, I bear no INTEREST now-
The toddler, with a soft voice, says 'Up...up' and seeing as the child isn't releasing him, he thinks if he just humors the pest, it will leave him, once it gets a closer look at his face, but as he picks the child up
His face went rigid as the child curiously grabbed his horns. Now that it was closer to the thing, its face was similar to his...its eyes held no fear at how he looked, the thing smelled of flowers and sun. He watched as the child looked into his eyes and touched his nose to his cheek. Such a SOFT thing came out of him, no doubt this poor pest will perish, is what he was thinking. Still, everything came to a stop as the child gave him a smile...
Unicron*Lets the child touch him and slowly sets it down on the grass and with its tiny organic servo holding his finger, guides it to the meadow where the humans live*Go along...go go go
Toddler*Does as told and giggles, goes back into the light and waves him off*
Unicron*Watches it leave and reunite with the adult humans, the bird parents looking at him and he rolls his optics*WHAT?
The birds let out a sound similar to a laugh, and Unicron continues his stroll. That was in the age of bronze. Now, he is walking in the age of iron, he spotted an unattended baby in a basket floating by the river, as he is followed by his newly created Minions who scout to bring his vessel to areas that require him to fix for his soon revival
Unicron*Looks at the newborn,boredly*Mh... It's so UGLY, you could almost feel sorry for it...
Baby*Looks at him and gives him a gummy smile*Ah!
Unicron*Bares his fanged denta and hisses at it to scare it*GRAAAAH!?
Baby*Just giving him a look says "What are you doing?...that was funny!" as it soon laughed and clapped its hands*
Minions*Looking back and forth on the interaction*...
Unicron*Frowns at it annoyed, how many times as he tried to scare these pests around him only for them to show curiosity and boldness*I hate you,Beasts...
As he walks away, the minions are left unsure what to do as the sparkling is stuck on the shore, about to move, only for Unicron to tell them to bring the thing, saying it makes a fascinating Pet
The minion stumbled, and one eventually grabbed the basket to follow their lord and master
Unicron raised that "Pet" even though it was an unspoken fact...to the minion and heralds, that their lord started to ENJOY these earthlings, that child eventually brought more children as it grew and learned to speak and have its own thoughts, the first humans to know of their lord and...father as they started to call him
He laid his Pet down by the river where he found them once they aged, on their deathbed, finally did he address them not as their 'Pet" as he always nicknamed them but as his spawnling
Unicron just carried their cody in his arms, no longer warm and noisy but cold like him but still holding a smile...Unicron glanced at some of his minions, who seemed to have also been affected, and followed behind him almost like they knew where he was heading. Once the child of his was laid to rest, he decreed that all of the Earthlings are his children, His humans...and all his followers took that to their spark as their TRUTH
Unicron was there when those fragging pests arrived on his planet, and his spawns were put in danger, but he wrapped around you, his little demonling, the one who was the kindest and maybe just a bit as crazy as his beloved "pet," you asked him not to intervene to let humans and Cybertronians find their co-existence...
And so he let them, not to say he hasnt forgotten the face of the most xenophobics of primus rats, the ones who hurt and killed some of his spawns, he was glad to know that alot of humans fought back against the ones who did their damage...afterall he is their father and mother ofcourse you FIND a way to kill many of their lot, But there was always that PRIME ...who protected his spawns who fell inlvoe at first sight with earth, almost made him laugh how a this patheticly young prime wanted co-existance and even went as far to always put humans first...and he was very much with the idea of them always hiding from humans...
He was almost considering letting Optimus off the hook... until he saw him and one of his spawns kissing, and it took all his minions and heralds to not send one of his vessels to put his head ...MOUNTED on the wall-
It was fine, besides how emotionally closed off he was...and how he and his new henchmech had history, he was bound to ruin it...and Megatron was as one of his teenage spawns called him "Fumbletron" there's NO fragging way-
Unicron*Seeing the one courting the prime pulled both Optimus and Megatron under your thumb and sighs*I have forgotten...these are my children, of course they have incredible rizz like their father...
Minions*Look at one another with "oh boy..."*
He saw more and more of his spawns opening their homes to cybertronians of all types, of every faction; he could see it...total domination of his spawns over cybertronians. His spawns truly will live long and conquer it all...
Unicron: HAHAAH!That's it, it makes sense they bow to my children, they are beings of chaos and allure! It won't be long till they take over all cybertronian kind as their romantic slaves...LONG LIVE THE HUMANS-
Unicron has an empty stare as he hugs them, floating in space, trying to keep it together for as long as it can, but the pieces are too brittle,
They're gone...everything is gone, nothing remains of them, He lost all his children of the past, present, and future...nothing was saved when they destroyed Earth while he lay asleep... every time he blinks, he swears he can almost hear it...the click of the machine that killed Earth and everything on it...
Unicron Sees he is causing more harm to what's left of his planet and finally lets them go, he knows he is there on the moon and he shapeshifts to be there aswell, Optimus was so ready to kill him on sight, but seeing what was left of him, A broken mech who held no light on his optics or spark, his optics mirrored his own, and he let him live...to know someone other mourn them and that he TRIED too hard to fight against Elita and the others with her. His brother soon came after as well in his new form...
Rung*Walks towards his brother, and sits beside him*...
Unicron: I try to force my thoughts to forget them...I'm always stuck on the day before. I would prefer if I never awoke from my slumber...it hurts, brother, it hurts so much...they were here and then no longer there like yours. How did you not go insane?
Rung*Clenches his jaw as he hears Unicron's voice cracked at the end*...
Unicron could only hold it for so long before he started to throw up at the smell of ash and the first corpses in his vessel, Rung helping him as much as he could as he heard Optimus off in the distance, himself trying to not break down again in his vow of silence...soon more cybertronians came to visit earth, those who knew earth and lived it and needed to torture themselves with the image of it once more...
Some who came to the moon can be heard saying "This isn't real...they're not gone-", have to be in their denial stage, still lying to themselves as some return to Cybertron to live their lies of preparing their home for their own humans who are safe at Earth...
No one knows how long it's been...but they felt it, something within the earth shifting... something growing with hatred and a thirst for revenge...and they were gonna let whatever it is grow
Unicron is holding the dead planet of Earth with his minions and heralds surrounding him, mourning:
I'm currently invested in "The Ultimate Sin" Post, and guven with the recent update on when Megatron succeeded to cyberform Earth at the cost of him being the only decepticon left, I kinda want to know how the Four Harbingers react to the how Cyberformed techno-organic reader brought justice to humanity by punishing all of Cybertron for Elita Prime's actions... Will they be shocked on how things ended for Humanity and the Reader? Will they forever loose faith in Cybertronians for whipping out all life from Earth to resurrect their planet—that they themselves destroy? Will they encourage Readers judgement on the Cybertronians for their crimes? So many possibilities... And if Unicron ever cared for his creations (like how Lux's Unicron cares for his little parasitic spawnlings)... Will his judgement be worse that even Primus won't ever intervene when Unicron starts killing every single Cybertronian he sees?
I think I already answered this question in the fic's comment section. Let me post what I answered there here (also includes Rung):
Well… I would imagine Rung to be pretty heartbroken to hear what happened to earth and reader. He would understand where the rage was coming from and that this had gone to a level that it can't be fixed. The cybertronians had done something which can't be reversed, and now they pay the price. He might be one of the bots that don't get attacked on sight, and he would probably try to offer some form of solace to the lost souls.
Death would be pretty unhappy over the tragedy. The cybetronians ended Earth's cycle of life before its due date, and now there are billions of souls (humans and fauna) that need help to pass to the afterlife. She would put her focus on helping those souls. And those who end up turning toward rage, she would not stop them, allowing them to seek their revenge (also because she got her hands full). She would feel coldness toward cybertronians, and will not aid them in life or death. She would feel great empathy for reader, knowing reader was just another human soul, who was forced to witness the tragedy and live. And after turning into harbinger of war, Death might discreetly help reader by allowing reader moments of silence in their mind from the overbearing weight of housing millions of vengeful souls inside their body.
Conquest would lose his playful smile over this tragedy. I had a little idea that since he has bacteria in his energon, he has some influence in creating life on organic worlds. He adores life and seeks to see it dominate places that are lifeless. To see all life end on Earth would make his smile disappear. He would likely have influence in creating the rage virus and aid reader and the souls dominate Cybertron. To convert Cybertron into a new world filled with flora and remove everything machine.
If we go with usual version, Famine would not be surprised at all. He would probably take this as a justification on why cybertronians can't be trusted and use it as an excuse to lay curses on them. He would definitely aid the reader and the souls. He would not pass that opportunity.
But while I was thinking, I got an idea of Skybound version of Famine. Like since reader embodied the souls of the lost humans. What if Famine became an embodiment of the fauna or the marine life? Like, he was brought to life by the spirits of the dead whales and other marine animals who suffered when the seas burned or froze. Then reader and Famine tag team on the cybertronians making them suffer further with the flames of wrath and the icy coldness of hunger. Maybe Famine's freezing presence is the only thing that can calm reader and the souls within them, preventing reader's spark from overburning.
That would be the Harbingers' reaction. In any version, the Harbingers would not allow the Cybertronians to go unpunished.
And I actually had an idea that in the Skybound universe, Unicron is this cosmic being (not Earth this time) who became curious about his human children. He telepathically communicates with reader, since reader used to be a human, testing reader's resolve and nature. I imagined some sassing between them, and Unicron being pleased by reader's chaotic nature. And in the good version, Unicron grants reader the Flame of War, allowing them to become a Harbinger of War (good type). In the bad version (Their Ultimate Sin), Unicron would be displeased with the cybertronians, and though he could easily destroy the cybertronians himself. He would let his children have their revenge and even aid them a little by giving them strength with his blood. After all, what kind of father would he be if he denied his children's desire for revenge against those who had wronged them?
Omg, "The Ultimate Sin" fic got me thinking abt the Omega Lock Incident in TFP, where the Cons are planning to Cyberform Earth and I was wondering how would the Harbingers react to that succeeding?? Like Cyberforming Earth and extinguishing all life in it would be so devastating for them, not to mention a lot of work for Death (Honestly wondered how she felt abt the Cybertronians friggin' destroying planets left and right, like imagine seeing your Uncle's creations causing so much death and destruction across the galaxy and now you have entire planets' departed souls being transported to your domain).
AND THEN THEY FOUND OUT ABOUT UNICORN BEING EARTH– So, hypothetically, in a situation where Unicron is now dead thanks to the Cyberformation of Earth (cuz idk what would happen if that plan succeeded so think of this as one of my imaginative scenarios of Cyberform!Earth), how would the Harbingers handle the situation now that their father is now dead thanks to the Decepticons? As well as the life that flourished in His domain, now that they're all gone???
All I can say is that it would not end well for Cybertronians.
In the TFP universe, I imagined the Harbingers having been born after Unicron's defeat. They're also Unicron's unintended creations, like the humans, but they were born first. They love their world, so they stayed to look after it. I also imagined that, being closer creations of Unicron, they understand his nature better and that he would end up destroying the life on his body if he chose to wake up. They tried once to convince him to like his creations, but failed. So, they have a ritual of singing him to sleep so he would not awaken and end all life on him. The Cybertronians had no idea about their existence.
Now with Cyberform!Earth, I imagine this to go two ways:
Scenario 1: The Decepticons succeed in cyberforming Earth, but the Harbingers manage to intervene enough to prevent all life from being extinguished. They help the cyberformed humans and life evolve into techno-organic beings. Earth becomes a techno-organic world where humans, animals, and even plants become bigger, faster, and much more ferocious. Unicron survives the cyberforming, but due to his new metallic shell, he's not able to break free easily. That would be the only thing the Harbingers would take positively. Unicron can use his mind and influence the growth of dark energon. Maybe in this scenario, the Harbingers finally convince him to take a liking to his creation. The Harbingers would allow themselves to be shown, and the techno-organic humans who chose to follow them would take certain aspects of their appearance and domain. But one thing is for sure: they despise Cybertronians. So, Earth becomes like a metallic version of Eywa.
So, the cons succeed in cyberforming Earth, but they do not conquer it; they become part of its new ecosystem.
Scenario 2: In this scenario, the cyberforming ends all life on Earth. If all life ended, the Harbingers would be enraged. Now, as Unicron is a literal god, I wouldn't imagine him to die that easily. I imagine the cyberforming putting him into a forever vegetative state. Despite his disdain for his creations, the Harbingers would mourn for him too. He was their father after all. Death's fury would especially be unimaginable, after her domain became filled with millions of dead souls who cried for justice or pain.
Now, I would imagine each of the Harbingers placing curses upon the Cybertronians, making them bound to Earth and making them suffer for the rest of eternity.
But I once saw an animatic of Lilith from Hazbin Hotel singing Thunderbringer and thought how well it suited Death. Because imagine Death appearing before Optimus and Megatron, saying how their kind owed a debt, and that it would only be paid by one's entire faction dying. Megatron made the choice to cyberform Earth and end all its life, so Death makes Optimus make the decision.
"Choose..." Death said, nearly softly.
"Choose?" Optimus questioned.
"Someone's gotta die today, and you have got the final say..." Death explained. "Your Autobots... or the Decepticons?"
Optimus would plead with her not to make him do it, but Death would remain quiet. Optimus would see in her gaze that if he didn't choose, she would claim them all. And after glancing at the children's pain of seeing their world and everyone they ever loved dead, Optimus would slowly point his finger toward Megatron. Then the song turns to Ruthlessness, as Death turns her gaze on the cons.
"Die." Death speaks and releases a death spell.
Optimus then watches as Death's power claims all the Decepticons ' sparks under Megatron's command, including those still far in the galaxy. Optimus and the Autobots watch this with heavy sparks until all Decepticons are extinguished. Megatron was left as the only Decepticon to live as a punishment.
Megatron managed to cyberform Earth, but in the end, became the last Decepticon alive. The only positive side for them, their war was finally over.
Hi, will there be a Continuation to this series?"The Earth Born Prime"--- I would love to see the interaction between Optimus Prime and newborn Prime ❤️🩹🥹✨
Hi!
Well, I had some ideas for it, but I hadn't found the right inspo to start writing a continuation. It's mostly because of too many different ideas and scenarios.
I would imagine the interaction between Optimus and the newborn prime being more wholesome than the newborn prime's interaction with Megatron and the Decepticons. I imagined the newborn prime meeting the Decepticons first, then the Autobots. At that point, the newborn prime is very cautious, but thanks to the Matrix, the newborn prime recognizes Optimus as the former bearer. And that he's more trustworthy than the cons.
Anyway, I would imagine the newborn prime becoming very traumatized after meeting the Cybertronians and their war.
