2001 A Space Odyssey — Warrior Cats AU (Warriors Odyssey?)

I have actual ideas about how the first film would go in the AU, not sure what the second film would even be about in this au, and vague concept for the third book in this au.

They're propably on a quest from Starclan because Starclan conveniently sucks. Maybe they're pet cats or clan cats, that's propably not essential. I'm not sure how HAL's mental brekadown should go in this AU, i wouldn't want it to be any more his fault than it was in canon but Starclan can't physically control you...

Dave Bowman — Cosmos (pet) / Nightwatcher (clan)

A solid black tom with blue eyes. If he's a pet he'll have a red collar with a saturn charm on it.

Had a thing with Daisyheart before he cracked.

After killing Daisyheart, Nightwatcher reaches where they were supposed to go (Moonpool equivalent or something?) which he enters and where he's separated from his body in a frightening spiritual experience, becoming a ghost. He doesn't enter Starclan or the Dark Forest and instead just wanders.

He's eventually reunited with Daisyheart's spirit. They talk it through, and watch over Darkpool.

HAL-9000 — Daisy (pet) / Daisyheart (clan)

A black silver classic tabby with one red-orange eye. His left eye is just not there, nor is there even an eyesocket. He was just born without it.

Medicine cat apperentice who has visions of/connection to Starclan even when awake.

Starclan torments him day and night about what he's "supposed" to do and what they want him to do and how everything is "supposed" to go, contributing to his mental detoriation. He doesn't tell Nightwatcher or Darkpool about this, and instead keeps pretending to be cool and perfect until he cracks.

After Darkpool's death, Nightwatcher gets away from where Daisyheart trapped him by doing a dangerous dive, and climbs up to fight him. Nightwatcher wins by inflicting massive head trauma and Daisyheart dies a slow and confused death.

Daisyheart becomes a ghost after dying, somehow not ending up in Starclan or the Dark Forest, and is eventually reunited with Nightwatcher's ghost.

Frank Poole — Frankie (pet) / Darkpool (clan)

A black mackerel tabby with brown eyes and white spotting on his snout, chest, and feet. If he's a pet, he'll have a plain yellow collar.

Looks down on Daisyheart because his parents are both ex-pets (or if he's a pet cat, he'll look down on Daisy because his parents were strays).

Daisyheart kills him by shoving him off a cliff, and when Nightwatcher climbs down to get his body, Daisyheart kicks down the log Nightwatcher used to climb to trap him down.

Gets reincarnated a few months or years after his death, since rebirth is canon in Warrior Cats, so...

Whitehead — ? (pet) / Wavefoam (clan)

Solid white with yellow eyes.

Kaminsky — ? (pet) / ? (clan)

Cinnamon mackerel tabby with brown eyes.

Kimball/Hunter — Hunter (pet) / ?catcher (clan)

Ginger classic tabby with green eyes.

Dr. Chandra — ? (pet) / ? (clan)

A brown mackerel tabby with red-orange eyes.

Bluebell's and Daisyheart's father.

Mr. Langley — ? (pet) / Long? (clan)

A black silver classic tabby with blue eyes.

Bluebell's and Daisyheart's mother because there needs to be two bio parents.

SAL-9000 — Bell (pet) / Bluebell? Brightbell? (clan)

A black silver classic tabby with one blue eye. She lost her right eye in an accident when she was young.

+ Heywood Floyd & unimportants that would maybe need to be namedropped

Transformers AU

I had a rush of ideas.

Maybe it's set before the war, or during it, or after it. Maybe they all are/were Autobots/Decepticons/NAILs, maybe they're a mix if it's set after the war. Maybe Venture/Zenith (Chandra, i have trouble deciding a name) is Halogen's father (like 2019 IDW) and also a former mnemosurgeon who's not proud of his past, but it means he can try to fix Halogen's processor after the incident if Halogen doesn't actually die at the end. And everything is, of course, Hitch's (Floyd) fault.

~|•|~

Dave — Cosmiclight

Mainly red, with yellow as secondary color and black & grey accents/unpainted metal. Blue optics, maybe behind a visor.

Telescope altmode.

Friends with Halogen. If Halogen isn't a city and Cosmic isn't a cityspeaker, maybe they're instead conjux-courting.

Sole survivor of the incident. He's traumatized and has loads of question nobody either can't or doesn't want to answer. He doesn't know why Halogen did what he did, if he ever knew the real Halogen, or what was done to Halogen, by whom, or why.

Frank — Meteor

Mainly bright yellow, with orange as a secondary color and black & grey accents/unpainted metal. Orange optics, maybe behind a visor.

Jet altmode, he's a Seeker.

Had to argue about his altmode with the functionists, but was eventually allowed to be a space scientist.

Falls to his death after Halogen damages his wing (unless whatever hits him kills him itself). Alternatively, he's left drifting in space unable to fly or comm anybody, and either dies or goes into coma and is found millenia later (especially if the story was prewar or during the war, then he'll either wake up in the middle of the war or once the war has ended).

Hal — Halogen

Mainly black, with silver as a secondary color and grey unpainted parts. One red optic in a screen face, think TFA Shockwave. Also has red biolight strips. He still has a silver mouthguard that goes over the lower part of the screen, and also has the typical empurata pincher claws.

Cybertronian-sized spaceship altmode like Skyfire or Skylynx? Or like Trypticon? Or maybe he's a city and Cosmic is his cityspeaker?

Was subjected to empurata and shadowplay for some reason. Everybody around him dehumanizes him because of them (though most bots only know about the empurata). His shadowplay was subtler, he's still himself but the senate(?) planted things into his head and can force him to do things. He also doesn't remember the operation and can't tell anybody about being controlled. He goes of the deep end because of his brainwashing somehow manages to contradict itself.

Halogen kills Meteor and propably still some other people too. Cosmic doesn't know what's up and kills Halogen, or at least thinks he killed Halogen, and only then he notices mnemosurgery scars on Halogen's neck and realizes he might not have been in control of his actions. But it's too late and Cosmic is alone.
