Okay I cannot be just a tfa fan who only looks at content anymore-
What if I make a tfa au that is heavily inspired by Murder Drones (combining two of my favourite robot fandoms), starting off with Bumblebee discovering he has some kind of program abilities that had been dormant now activated.
Let me explain how this au works but I'm not sure if this is all, note that this au is heavily inspired by Murder drones so it's going to be different here:
Plot:
It all started in the Autoboot Camp episode where Bumblebee and Bulkhead first encountered a Disarticon when they attempted to track the source of the signal. Given the Disarticon's abilities, the two fought against it through denta and digit but they were no match for its regeneration so the two fled. He and Bulkhead soon realize that the Disarticon is targeting him first so they hatched a plan on baiting it, Bumblebee drove his way to the Mountain pathway for Bulkhead to use his wrecking ball on creating an avalanche trap once the Disarticon is on the spot.
Unfortunately, the Disarticon has finally caught up to Bumblebee where it took down his pede. The vulnerable yellow bot begins to notice how familiar it looks until a symbol appears in his right optic when he is suddenly unharmed from the barrage of the Disarticon's uzi-like blaster. Thankfully, Bulkhead arrives before swinging his wrecking ball at the steep where the boulders knock the murder bot off into the ground but Bumblebee is near so he got fallen off too.
At the end of Autoboot Camp, Bumblebee gets his pede fixed after by Ratchet who is scolding him for getting in danger. Once he is in his quarters, he gets bombarded with a surge of fragmented memories he can't recall before seeing himself in the mirror where the symbol appeared again in his optic. Will Bumblebee discover the full extent of what this symbol implies, either he gets to the bottom of this or both the Disarticon and this symbol get to him?
Info (WIP):
The Murder Drones for this au are going to be called Disarticons.
Pretty straightforward given the meaning, there is a slim chance of surviving them due to some kind of electromagnetic substance called Neuroweave that allows the Disarticons to be extremely flexible and durable. Meaning they are delicate enough to outrun energon blasters as well as endurability to disarticulate a Cybertronian limb by limb, but the Neuroweave is also the reason why they needed spark consumption.
The word disartic comes from the word Disarticulation; a surgical or traumatic separation of a bone from another at a joint, rather than cutting through the bone shaft (amputation). It involves disjoining, taking, or pulling apart, such as shoulder or hip disarticulation. This procedure preserves the proximal joint surface and is often performed for trauma or to remove diseased limbs.
In this au, Absolute Solver (in power) is going to be changed to the name Volition. I think it's fitting due to the meaning of Volition, plus the way the Solver abilities work is like 3D making or a transform tool that most roblox building games have.
Volition: the faculty or power of using one's will.
Lore:
It is unknown where do the Disarticons come from, they just appear when the Decepticon War began. All we know is that they exist to kill all of the Cybertronians regardless of faction and consume them to obtain sparks, which is necessary to prevent them from overheating and offline.
Bonus: drawing Bumblebee for the first time for a warm up sketch of drawing Transformers
