I was wondering how big Optimus was going to get but after seeing how big the war frame sparkling is against Megatron's hand

I'm fearing on behalf of Optimus, maybe now I understand all of Ratchet's worries about all this

Yeah no there's no way that's getting out without breaking something he's not build for that...

His balance is going to be completely off lmao

Yeah, it was very difficult to convey just how big a warframe sparkling is in comparison to Optimus in writing without there actually being anything to base it on. Especially since neither Ratchet and Optimus has actually seen one, so they're only going off of what Ratchet's medichip is telling him.

But yes, that little drawing of a baby war frame in Megatron's servo is about how big a war frame sparkling would be upon emergence. They would be more rubbery and not entirely solid upon the berth to not hurt them and then they would solidify upon contact with air (which can take anything from a few weeks to a year, depending entirely on the atmosphere of the planet you're on).

Optimus is going to be very bloated and big at the end of it. Especially since he's built like a twig. Fun fact, if he'd been about Bulkhead's size, then he probably wouldn't have shown at all! And there probably wouldn't have been as dangerous either.

The war frame sparkling drawing in question, btw.

Optimus would be so mad that Megatron got the easy civilian birth while he got the ordeal of giving birth to warframes

Oh, Optimus would be so mad!!! The fact that Megatron would be having such an easy birth while Optimus had to struggle with nearly tearing his frame in half? Oh, you know he'd be mad as hell XD

I’m sure it’s spoilers but I want you to know the idea of Ratchet and Deadlock being spark bonded and possibly still having mind sex after millions of years of divorce delights me.

I imagine that Ratchet does his best to block out Deadlock but some nights he forgets or is too tired to put up his blocks or firewalls and they end up in a shared mind space where Deadlock just ruthlessly frags his valve until Ratchet is swollen and sore even when he wakes up. And Ratchet tell himself it's a harmless dream and that it means nothing, but he secretly loves it and misses the warmth of Drift.

I just saw that ask where you said civilian sparklings are tiny tiny like fit in Optimus hands kinda tiny and I'm over here like...

What do you mean they are that tiny !? What do you mean like Megatron holding all three newly emerged sparkling in one hand kind of small?!

Yup, they are itty bitty babies! Teeny tiny little things. To be fair, war frame sparklings are small enough to fit in Megatron’s servo too, but only one in one servo. I even drew a picture to show just how eeny meeny civilian sparklings are ^^

OP could give Megs a blowjob while the war mech is standing up with that height difference

Op wouldn't even have to tilt his helm. He could lick the tip standing. Megatron leans against a wall and both are standing cuz he's just that much taller than Optimus. God, it makes me giggle how ridiculously large their size difference is! I love it so much, you don't understand.

I was reading the last chapter (by the way, I love Megap conversations), and I suddenly thought that Optimus would absolutely panic when his belly started to grow. And I can even imagine that no one will even notice at first, but as soon as they notice, OP will have a complete panic attack and hysteria. There's no way he can hide it anymore

Oh, absolutely! Optimus would have a mild freak out about his belly growing bigger because that's not normal for Cybertronians. It's not even normal for carriers, cuz most that used to carry weren't that thin around the waist. Most had more closely to Bulkhead's and Ratchet's build (that was seen as more of a desired physic for carriers). It would also freak him out because they'd have to remove the plating around his abdomen, so his protoform would be on display. Which would be so dangerous because that's such a sensitive part of him. But yes, the moment that his belly starts to grow, Optimus would panic because there's no longer any way he can hide his condition anymore at that point.

Lugnut would be the one Decepticon that would be over the top THRILLED his Lord Megatron is having an heir even if the carrier is an Autobot because clearly this Autobot is superior!

Lugnut would shout it to the heavens and throw a parade. Every needs to know that his Lord Megatron sired the first sparkling in 11.5 million years! All hail his superior spark and transfluid, or something like that lol and yup. Optimus is obviously a superior Autobot for carrying Megatron's sparkling.

Megatron trailing adoring kisses all over Optimus’ recharging frame, from finials to those cute wheels on his pedes that he sometimes can get to spin. Nuzzling against the bulging plates at his abdomen, gently brushing his EM field against the sparkling inside and letting out a steelwool purr when a soft tendril of groggy contentment reaches back 🥺 gahh guess today calls for a soft megop morning

That is so!!! I can picture it before me so well! Yes, Megatron would so do that! That's how he'd wake up Optimus for his regular mega-cycle scheduled refuelings when he's so far along he might pop at any moment. Just sweet and gentle kisses all over Optimus' frame! I wanna write this into ACL so bad, you don't understand TTwTT Megatron would be such a great sire and partner <33
