He believes he and Sunstreaker have unfinished business.
And he believes it is a fine time to go lock himself in his office for a bit. Right about now, actually.
That wonât do much good.Â
Ping, ping.
Because heâs not actually there to knock.
Does some good, for his reputation mostly. No one is around to hear him swear like a miner when his comm. starts going off.
:: What is the emergency? :: heâs trying to be polite...ish. He was mentored by Ratchet...but, again, his mentor was Ratchet.

What does Blaster think about the events on Earth involving Steeljaw's pack?
"Well....it kinda probably depends on what Steeljaw you're talkin' about, 'cuz I've heard about a 'con goin' by that name, and I don't think you need to be told what his opinion is on someone goin' around with his dead deployer's name is." Sideswipe huffed, "And I suggest not askin' him about it either."
Would be laughing at the stuff going on, but...well, a full package of ruststicks was just bounced off his helm courtesy of a certain avatar in the fashion of âgo fuel stupid.â so he canât say anything.
He swears to Primus - even if that might be a mistake in this case - but if recent developments get him trapped in his room by an over-protective demi-god again, heâs going to be pissed!
Heâs not sure if he should be laughing or trying to help at this point...but it looks to be resolving all on itâs own, so thatâs good?
Just...going to...not ask questions about his dash tonight.
He can see why Slendy says nothing sometimes. Itâs more amusing to watch the train wreck.
Especially since heâs beginning to understand whatâs actually being said
Donât think striking out your thoughts means he canât hear them.
Also: energon popcorn? Train wrecks are best enjoyed as part of an audience, he finds.
Whoops.
Sure. Heâs got rust sticks to add. And yeah, nice to share the entertainment.

(Sparkly heart) turnabout is fair play
How likely they are to enter a relationship with them:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10
Look. Itâs Soundwave. Blaster was basically raised by the Soundwave from his timeline. Slendyâs only saved from a 0 because he doesnât look like the boxy mech. And heâs not at a 1 because Blasterâs at least semi-comfortable around him.
Would theyâŚ
Make the first move? Yes | No Say âI love youâ first? Yes | No Cheat on them? Yes | No Be the jealous type? Yes | No Plan the dates? Yes | No Initiate the first kiss? Yes | No Remember anniversaries? Yes | No
Okay, so most of these are ânoâ only because thereâs not a âmaybeâ option. Because depending on _quite_ a few things it could go either way. First off, Blasterâs version of âfirst moveâ would be to actually spend more time with him. Just to get to know him and the group around him. He knows better than to leave the deployers out of the equation. As for verbally saying âI love youâ thatâs going to take a lot of time, and such. He prefers to show his affection rather than say it. As for cheating; in serious romantic relationships heâs either 100% devoted or not at all. Jealousy...heâs more insecure than anything. As for dates, heâd more often throw ideas than actually plan. With kissing, heâd rather let someone like Soundwave initiate. Just to be sure it was a welcomed thing rather than space invasion. And heâs gotten good at marking things down on schedules.
BOLD WHAT APPLIES:
Their Relationship Is:
friends to lovers | rivals to lovers | enemies to lovers | still just enemies | mutual pining | star crossed lovers | old married couple | perpetual honeymoon phase | stable and boring | stable but not boring | secret lovers | best friends hiding their feelings | and they were roommates | friends with benefits | coworkers avoiding HR | one-sided affection | weird sexual tension | itâs complicated | toxic relationship | a secret affair | an actual dumpster fire | other
Hmn. Okay, between the two of them, itâd be complicated enough to give them both headaches. Because I doubt that either of them would fully open up until further into any relationship, and thatâs not a healthy way to start. That, and currently they only know each other in passing. Itâd take much more work and development before a stable relationship of any kind can be formed. And thatâs not counting the curveballs from the multiverse and divine meddling.
PUBLIC Displays of Affection:
hand holding | kiss on the hand | kiss on the cheek | kiss on the forehead | kiss on the lips | Â cuddling | hugging | affectionate messages or comments | pet names | pictures together | no displays of affection
Neither are big candidates for PDA. The most Blaster would likely do or accept in public would be brief pats to get attention. Unless heâs comfortable with where he is, or the person heâs with. Again, right now thatâd be something to build up to.
PRIVATE Displays of Affection:
hand holding | kiss on the hand | kiss on the cheek | kiss on the forehead | kiss on the lips | Â cuddling | hugging | affectionate messages or comments | pet names | pictures together | no displays of affection
This would depend on Soundwave. He knows not to push, so heâd again let Soundwave set the pace.
Do they stay together?
yes, this is endgame | yes but someone is gonna die tragically | something is keeping them apart | they part ways as friends | they part ways as enemies | theyâre on-again-off-again | they have a super messy breakup | it was just a fling | other
Again, going from Blasterâs side. Soundwave would - and did - have otherâs but Blasterâs not one to do flings. And parting ways with these two blackmail experts? Itâs going to messy as hell. Someone is not going to be coming out of it type messy. And no, the tragic death is because oneâs still a spy master and the otherâs keeping secrets that can still come back to bite him and works in politics now.
BONUS
What terrible pet names would they give each other?
Again. Depends on how comfortable they are together. As it stands, none is the answer.

Headcanon time
Today: Protoforms
Protoforms always seem to float around in the TF canon but no continuity that Iâve seen has really gone into detail on what they are aside from âbaby transformersâ that have yet to be assigned an outward appearance, a blank slate to etch out their personality on. So based on what Iâve seen in canon Iâve come to assume a few things:
1) In their base most state, Cybertronians are an ever-shifting vat of liquid.Â
Not unlike the Changelings from Star Trek, Cybertronians are a race of Mimics meaning they shift and adapt their external appearance to suit their needs for whatever terrain they find that they can scan.Â
2) Being a liquid state would help to explain their seeming intolerance for the cold.Â
Computers perform better under cooler conditions, the workings of their internal components keeping them warm, but Cybertronians have a seeming intolerance to ice and cold. Granted these settings in canon are almost always in sub zero temperatures (G1 Skyfire, Bayverse Megatron, TFP Prime and Arcee) save for once incident (Bayverse Bee getting sprayed with the extinguishers) but it remains consistent across continuities. If their liquid core freezes, they would be unable to move and unable to move the basic working components.Â
3) Spark resonance and frequency override any sort of CNA (Cybertronian DNA) coding making most prosthetics and replacement parts easier.
Since water can be manipulated into changing shapes in its flow with a tonal frequency, it leads me to believe that the individual sparks of Cybertronians emit a complex chorus of tonal and electrical frequencies to manipulate the shape of their liquid core. Or in the cases of the Starscream clones and such, a frequency from an external source to manipulate the protometalâs shape. Granted the replacement thing doesnât hold true for every continuity for every body part, as TFP bots canât replace their eyes very easily, but they apparently had no issue with T-cog compatibility between any of the bots of any size.
To me, this theory also lends credence to TFAâs protoforms and the infant-like mercurial state they become if not scanned to any specific pre-existing design.
4) Cybertronian anatomy breaks down into 4 layers: Skeletal armature, endoform, exoform, and armor upgrades.Â
Between different versions of canon, armor is more or less just Armor. For example:Â
Prowl believes in thought over violence, and so his body doesnât conceal much weaponry. Though he does have a few weak laser guns built into his systems, the vast majority of his frame is devoted to computing power.
Prowl here is ⌠pretty much naked by the standards of most continuities. He doesnât have much built-in weaponry which would be an external, third party addition, rather than a basic design feature from his spark resonance shaping his protoform. So to me, it breaks down like this:Â
Skeleton: A multi-jointed, multi-swivel solid state armature that can be rearranged internally through the sequence of scanning a new mode but locks into place when the shift from one mode to the next is complete. This solid state component system would also include fuel tanks and other internal components that may get relocated during transformation sequences.Â
Endoform: The âmeatâ of the Cybertronian body, the pliable but mostly solid metal of their faces and joints allowing for flexibility in an otherwise rigid metal body. The health of a Cybertronian can be determined by the pliability of his endoform, or similarly, the brittleness of it. Like clay, without proper care or in temperatures too extremely cold or hot, the endoform can harden and crack apart.
Exoform: The solid metal first layer of armor and kibble. Like most exoskeletons, it can be shed if necessary or if knocked or cut off, though it would leave the endoform damaged until it could repair itself and generate a new layer of armor. Exoforms may be slimmer or heavier by the botâs natural frequency and design.
Armor upgrades: The bulkier pieces of armor worn over the exoform. Since Cybertronian armor is mostly functional, the upgrades would be integrated with and likely graphed to the exoform so that nerve functions would extend to the upgrades.Â
If youâve finished reading this far, I commend you and would like to remind you that this is all my own personal interpretation based on observations made through various continuities and in no way has any bearings on canon or any other playersâ interpretations.Â
A shiny new version of my old spark spectra headcanons. I wanted an easier-to-read graphic, and the changes just kept coming from thereâŚ
+ Disclaimer: This is the system Iâll be working with for most of my TF works, particularly those set in Book Of Hours. Itâs completely headcanonâd, meaning I make shit up and wave at canon as it flies past, so donât take it too seriously.

Spectral ClassificationâÂ
>> The internal temperature range at which the spark burns plasma, which determines the charge output, cyclic and pulse rates, apparent colour, and resonant affinity of the spark. An important marker of identity for virtually all Cybertronians, due to the spark's status as the giver of life for all.
