Introspection

The big black sword is stabbed into the mesa top in front of him, like an especially shiny gravemarker.

His ionic displacer rifle lays across his lap.

For the longest time, he just sits there, staring at the sword and the gun, and if you didn’t know better, you’d think he’d be locked in a deep bout of meditation. He’d never learned how to completely block out his own mind that way.

The Obliterator, he thinks, represents the person he tries to be.

getting drunk has pointed out to me that this asshole probably has terrible hearing

i've been watching movies at like 45% hearing

it's kind of terrible

#fun facts about the train #maybe he's spared this because highgrade is a stimulant not a depressant?#probably not

when given an option between yelling about shit no one cares about in a safe, calm environment designed for such a purpose and yelling about shit no one cares about at a bazillion year old chaos deity

the train has apparently decided to pick bazillion year old chaos deity every time

what are you looking for bucko

the exact epitome of not giving a shit to somehow double mobius strip reacharound into giving all of the shits??

#random facts about the train #this is a really shitty habit train #the drinking is preferable to this #bed for real now

the reason the train gets so pissed off at people "helping" shattered smokey is because to him, it doesn't look like they want to actually help

it looks like they want to control him

he has a trait they don't like, so they manipulate and cajole and berate him until it's stomped out

it's not a good trait, no, and he does need help

but the more his friends/lovers/anons "help" by blanket saying NO and basically making him feel like shit about himself every time he considers having highgrade, even as a celebration, the more the train wants to just take him and pump him full of it for eternity

just to spite them

right now because a certain knockers might be his new nemesis but still

because if they hate his bad traits so much, what'll happen to the poor kid when they decide they don't like a good one?

i think i know why astro always ends up yelling about the war at prowls

prowl is the closest to the autobot cause, second only to prime - it's the next best thing to dressing down the guy who's partially responsible for all of the death and and destruction and dead bars

he's like the exact opposite of the train, logical, intelligent, detached, staunchly loyal.. and at the same time just as stubborn and reckless as he ever was

.. he might possibly see a little bit of the True Decepticon in him

or at least, what he himself could have become as a True Decepticon

it's kind of scary

Headcannon: Heights in G1

((The discussion is going around now, so it’s a good time to unload mine and Astro’s general guide when calculating robot heights for G1.))

littleblackbicycle

bringing this back because this is something that legitimately bothers me about the primax universe roleplayers

shaving off approximately 5-10 feet per robot

not saying they need to change, of course not - but when this smaller scale is accepted as Fandom Canon like Ratchet Throwing Wrenches and Sunstreaker Is An Artist and Jazz and Prowl Are Madly In Love (Despite Not Spending More Than One Scene Together)

when EVERYONE ELSE thinks this is the only Right Scale

then it gets aggravating for those of us who have hypothesized that each universe runs on a similar scale

except maybe Beast Wars

if any universe should be the bitty universe it's the one with organic animals

luckily for those of you who hate bitching (which is probably all of you), the next time this subject is brought up i promise you there will be art attached <3

#bitching from the peanut gallery #general headcanons #transformers #maccadam #scale

oh god

oh god i just realized

so train is in charge of energon storage and management in his universe, right? and he's been the multiverse for nearly a year

if they never got anyone to replace him, or even if they did - that's a huge dent in their resources right there. his entire stockpile could keep them fed for a long time

what if they never made it back up

what if the reason my constructicon muses have been silent

is because they starved and cannibalized each other

random headcanons at fuck 'o' clock: EM fields

Reading this lovely post, I got to thinkin' about the train and the bees.

Okay just the train. And sex.

And how while most Cybertronians have a field of energy that radiates out from them like an electric mood ring, Astrotrain... sort of doesn't.

(Not just because the mun sucks at writing shit like that.)

Millions of years of constantly overcharging his systems have led to his field being functionally useless - it's been reduced to white noise. Static. There's really not much there for another mech's field to feel. He can still feel theirs, but they're not really going to want what he'd give back.

Especially not in the sack. Static ain't sexy. Probably feels really prickly if it feels like anything at all.

So he just sort of keeps it tightly bound to his frame and picks up on others' fields through other sensors designed for electromagnetic readings.

Shuttles, yo.

headcanon: feelings

I don't know if this is just a dumb stereotypical dude trope he's picked up by being a stereotypical dudely dude sometimes, but Train is.. really weird about people doing things for him first.

Okay, people feeling things for him first.

He prefers going out there, doing the song and dance, developing attachments at his own rate. There has to be some kind of an effort in it on his part. Even if it's a lot of effort with a little reward, he's still doing some work. It might be a part of the sensory addiction - the sensation of the hunt, even if he can't go in for the kill.

If someone just drops the L bomb out of nowhere he doesn't know what to do. Especially if it's an INTENSE L bomb, like putting part of your spark into a trinket given as a gift before you've even met the guy.

There are more people doing this for him lately than he's comfortable with and he has no idea what he's doing wrong/right

help

how do you stop being a sparkbreaker, a dream maker, and/or a love taker

(Current list of sparks he's broken: his Blitzwing, Shatterscream, a Skyfire, Helios (a weird version of himself who did the spark thing), Overlord??)

Gluttony

Gluttony: a headcanon about food or obsessions

He’s a sensory addict, and that includes taste. If it tastes good or even if it just burns his throat, he wants it. He overindulges on sweet things when presented to him and he’s still not sure if it’s because he legit likes sweets or Energon shortage.

He also eats with his hands because cubes don’t need tools, so neither should cake.

headcanon: addiction

It probably goes without saying, but Train is kind of a really addictive person.

Obviously there’s sex and highgrade, but more than that.

If he likes the sensation of something, he will chase it. The burning of a hard brew. The surreality of a bad brew. Cables being bitten and plating dented. The suffocating warmth of Death Itself pressing too close. That momentary spark of fear before a decision he knows to be bad. Passionate hatred of things that need to be hated or people who just are hateable. Ill-used pride at a job well done. Pettings.

Raw, physical, visceral sensation.

It might be something that helps him remember he’s not dead.

So when he flies back to Unicron like an idiot, he literally is addicted to the weird cocktail of emotions and sensation he generates.

But hey, it was much worse when he knew him.
