Voting ended onJul 17
Checking interest for a free digital StarOp zine. I may let anyone participate, but if the number of interests is overwhelming I may have to limit acceptances.
This is a dump of PG/suggestive spywarp sketches drawn throughout the year and also a couple thundermiragewarp drawings at the end. A seeker sandwich if you will....
These are very mild in my brain, but fair warning this is more intimate stuff than what I've posted thus far o: If you don't like to see a lot of physical intimacy please skip this one!
Warning for: kissing, groping, petting & mentions of interfacing.

*The winner of this matchup will represent their bracket in the inter-group finale poll(s).
PROPAGANDA:
[Stan]
"It would be funny if the twin of the winner won."
"He would be an amazing dad, even though at first he is gruff and a bit reckless, you can see as the series goes on, how deeply he loves and cares for the people closest to him, he would do anything for his family, and he would be the most dedicated dad out there."
"Gotta get both twins knocked up."
"why should Ford have all the fun? also Stan would be a WAY better dad than Ford."
"HED BE SUCH A SINGLE DAD I NEED HIM PREGNANT AND STRUGGLING WITH A BABY AND RAISING HER THE BEST HE CAN AND SOMETIMES FAILING BUT OVER ALL MAKING IT WORK I CAN PICTURE HIM USING HIS PREGNANT BELLY AS AN ICECREAM TABLE WHILE HE WATCHES DUCKTECTIVE AND PERIOD DRAMAS."
"He's the sexier more breedable brother to me but also I just think it'd be funny if he won the second time around since Ford won the first one :)"
Grunkle Stan propaganda from last season
[Starscream]
"He would be STRUTTING with it. He's gonna raise an ARMY of LOYAL UNDERLINGS and they're going to make him RULER OF THE UNIVERSE. also he would be fucking miserable and so so angry and i think that would be fun."
"I need need need my conniving flying bastard man to be pregnant, he'd be so insufferable about it. Can you imagine? TFP Starscream would use his pregnancy as a way to manipulate the autobots and pretend to "care so much about my precious baby" and then he'd stab everyone in the back. G1 Starscream would have a bunch of grand dreams of shaping his baby into the ultimate Megatron-killing weapon and then they rule the galaxy together."
"I need to see him manipulate someone into getting him pregnant only to abort it in an attempt to hurt them only to have no effect at all. I need this."
"He’s funny and endlessly miserable in most continuities and I think being pregnant would make him happy even if he complained about it at the time."
"LISTEN……. It would be funny as shit if all the time he tried to usurp Megatron he succeeded in the one thing he didn’t want and lost so disgracefully. And in some media interpretations having “kids” or pets mellows that fucked up prideful and very much traumatized abused but unwilling to admit it and look for help man."
th thing that always makes me laugh about OpLita is like. There is NO UNIVERSE where Optimus is the top in that dynamic. Really I don't think he's a top in any relationship but especially not with Elita. Love the ship but can we start calling it ElitOp or something... That's her malewife and ☝️she's pegging him.
I feel that a lot of these "she pegs him malewife" don't come from a place of genuine enjoyment of said dynamic, but as a kind of overcompensation for shipping m/f
Idk maybe I'm assuming things about the anon, but there something in the way this was written that "See?? I'm shipping this het ship in such a different way!!" to me (which is lowkey funny since "top Elita" is not a foreign concept to the fandom)
(holy fuck I have to stop writing shit at 3 am there's so many typos here aaaa)
Thank you for these tags you were able to put into words the same grievances I have.
And get extra woke because that last point is my main problem with this type of speak. Like people who say stuff like this are one sentence away from saying shit like "he is the woman in the relationship" which hm.
It also comes as equating dom/sub with top/bottom and hmmm I wonder why that is. Truly a mystery we are never going to resolve/s

Summary:
A common enemy forces Mirage and Skywarp to hide on a deserted planet and depend on each other for fuel and rescue.
Mirage thinks he knows what to expect. He's happy to be proven wrong, but that realisation puts him in a precarious place.
every once in a while I think about how rung has to experience extreme distress before he'll cough up a photonic crystal. all the cold constructed came from this pain. just because his body could do something (his "function"...) doesn't mean he wanted to do it. or that it was effortless when he did.
I like the metaphor. not every day you get a creator god "reentering the workforce." but it seems cybertronians are forgiving of gaps in your resume (and your memory) if you're the only available professional in your field!
Every couple weeks I see someone making the point that IDW1 ruins its premise because the Decepticons started out 'in the right' and ended in galactic genocide, which itches a little. I feel like many people miss the 'point', if there was any, which is that the Decepticons were always a faction that correctly diagnosed many problems with their society and then used that fear and anguish towards personal gain.
Long post ↓
To be clear: Megatron is a fascist. This isn't something he slowly formed into over the course of the war, it's how he started it. At some point he personally believed in a route that followed pacifist, collective reform, but this was never his true party line. Megatron didn't envision a world where the subjugated were free from their hierarchy, he envisioned a world where he was on top instead.
Quoth Towards Peace: '...your "betters"? You have none. We are all equal. And we have a right to decide how to live our lives.' This is notably not, and never was, how the Decepticons were organized. Hearing it straight from Megatron's mouth, one might believe this is completely at odds with what they become in the future, but that's exactly what he wants his listener to believe. Here's one of my favorite moments in all of IDW:
Over and over again, he says us versus them. He doesn't specify who 'they' are, because the point is that the listener can fill that image in with their own personal grievances. He wants them to believe, as Drift says, that there is no other way. He does not believe in equality. He poses the Decepticons as the "betters" instead— the strong, the powerful, the just; they are the true voice of Cybertron, the real heart of this nation. The way Megatron speaks eliminates any shade of grey from their world. There is only us and the enemy, and the enemy is both infinitely powerful, oppressive, and infinitely weak, pathetic. Never mind that there are people within the system who seek to change it for the better, like Orion Pax, never mind that there are people on the streets already fighting for it, like Hot Rod. There's only with Megatron, or against him. And if you are with him, you are stronger, more noble than you have ever been.
Believing that Megatron's voice is the only one speaking for justice in IDW1's pre-war Cybertron is falling for his charisma. The Decepticons were never the 'good guys'. Megatron used the pain of his people as leverage to put himself in power...
...and if they're brutal, cruel, it can only be the fault of the system. The Decepticons didn't make themselves that way.
...if they're selfish, deceptive, it's only a failing to hold close enough to their zealotry. There is nothing wrong with the heart of the movement— the true heart of Cybertron.
A real Decepticon is always just.
The Decepticon Cause meant something different to every person who believed in it. But the Decepticon army exists with the singular purpose of war, of which the singular purpose is control. Megatron is ruthless, nationalist, anti-religion and anti-compassion. He pretends his expansionism is defense. His vision for the future is freedom only for himself.
All that to say it pains me greatly when people say that IDW is flawed specifically for having the early Autobots be in the wrong and the Decepticons in the right. The point isn't that either of them are the right one, but rather that war is never just. There are no perfect heroes in IDW; only millions and millions of murderers. This is what I love about it!!
