You talked about seeker runway walks way back. Any specifics?

Specifics hmm??

Well I imagine some more loose and some more uptight when they walk, like Skywarp and Ionstorm typically bounce, let their wings take the movement of their frames. Skywarp likes to swing his arms with the movement of his hips.

Thundercracker, Dirge, and Nacelle are all pretty stiff? They still kind of swing their hips when they walk and Nacelle is prone to accidentally clicking his thrusters. Dirge is a bit hunched over, as he’s taller than Thrust and Thrust takes much offense to it so he typically slouches. Thundercracker has a somewhat wider gait though.

Slipstream, Chemtrail, Redwing, and Cloudcover are all pretty just the normal runway walk, save for Slipstream’s need to purposefully click her thrusters whenever she wants to be acknowledged(she totally didn’t pick that up from Starscream).

Blackout honestly kinda lost the sass in his walk, well not lost he just doesn’t give enough fucks but he still sways a bit and his wings bounce just a smidge.

Blazewake and Blast have a more aggressive flow? They keep their wings high but still allow them to bounce and sway, however Blazewake is prone to swinging his arms when he’s not paying attention.

Sunstorm and Starscream both have a walk that demands attention, purposely enunciating each step to make their wings bounce a bit more, though Sunstorm usually holds his servos behind his back. He picked off of Starscream with how he walks, but he didn’t pick up purposely clicking his thrusters though.

Acidstorm and Novastorm prefer a much more presentable way of movement, keeping their sway to a minimum while still enunciating their wings as they move via little flicks.

Lord wormy requests more headcanons for all of the seekers :3

YKW SAD HCS BC ANGST

Starscream - Unlike many seekers who are naturally reactive, Megatron beat the reaction out of him. Where one would normally snap if something were to be waved in their face, Starscream will flinch back but make no move to bite or posture.

Thundercracker - Because of his denser frame he often puts himself in harms way for his trine, overestimating himself at times. Unsurprisingly, he has the highest injury count.

Skywarp - Considering his processor is taken up by his warp drive and mapping software, he often finds himself in situations he doesn't remember getting into. In the beginning of the war this was a major problem.

Dirge - Dirge struggles with his standing in his trine, often uncomfortable by their constant fighting.

Thrust - Believing he should be trine leader, he has made a few attempts on Ramjet's life. he is unsure as to WHY he keeps it up or why Ramjet stays trined with him.

Ramjet - Ramjet loves his trine but the truth is he never wanted to be trine leader, he's not sure what to do when it comes to Thrust and Dirge. Though, he knows better than to allow Thrust that role.

Bitstream - His hubris often gets the better of him, resulting in many beat downs from other Decepticons.

Nacelle - Nacelle was originally a slave before the war, a servant under one of the senators. He got by due to his quiet and elusive nature.

Hotlink - He has a major soft spot for Nacelle and Bitstream, it's often used against him for others to get what they want from him.

Blackout - Blackout struggles with letting go, letting people go to be specifically.

Slipstream - No stranger to starvation.

Acidstorm - His own ability causes him to be in the medbay several times a day.

Novastorm - He keeps a holo of his conjunx and sparklings, it's a reminder of why he took in Sunstorm and Blazewake.

Ionstorm - Honestly there's nothing going on with him he's just a major glitch.

Sunstorm - Sometimes a thought crosses him, a small wonder if Primus gave him this power to punish him rather than gift him.

Cloudcover - He constantly blames himself for Sandstorm's death, can't stand looking at Blazewake.

Sandstorm - Before his death, he had promised he would take Blazewake through in electrical storm. Guess what didn't happen.

Avia - She was attached to Wheezingarrow like a leech, always exclaiming how she wanted to be a medical assistant like him. After his death she lost that dream.

Chemtrail - Having lost her creator, sire, and adoptive sire, she's a bit fussy over her trine. She's almost constantly fussing over Blast and Blazewake, scared to death she might loose them.

Blast - As the war continues, Blast slowly looses his confidence. Each bad injury sets him back and he has to regain himself.

Redwing - He often feels a hopeless, after what happened to Knockout, being unable to save his own trinemate, and witnessing Avia's tumble into grief, he's not sure if he could even be considered a medic at times.

Blazewake - After flying through his first electrical storm he buried himself in Chemtrail's arms and Chemtrail would keep it to herself that he cried.

Wheezingarrow - Wheezingarrow's last words were a joking request for Redwing to find a better medical assistant.

Go on. Give us more headcanons about their little flying rats

It took me an embarrassing long to time process this ask and for that I apologize lmao

- To start off with a funny, Seekers totally puff up like owls at things. You startle a seeker and they go big wings and their plating gets all ruffled up.

- Have you ever considered that Blackout has most likely THROWN Slipstream into battle, because I like to think he does it a lot and it’s EXTREMELY funny, she’s so small and chuckable

- Starscream shit talks with his wings, telling you right now. Those little flickers he does when talking to Megatron are not him being interested, it’s him calling Megatron various Vosian insults that no creator should ever witness their sparkling say.

- Dirge really likes fish, and I know that’s a weird one but he just loves them okay. Specifically any fish with iridescent scales.

- If you ask Blazewake what his favorite flying maneuver is, he won’t answer you. If you ask him anything about Earth’s storms and meteorological conditions he will ramble for hours and will NOT shut up. Sandstorm really influenced his interest.

- Seekers, trackers specifically, use their radar equipment to keep track of their trine while in the air, should their trinemate start to fall out of position they’re typically the ones to nudge them back in. This is only in the beginning of a trine’s bonding and if they don’t have a tracker then typically it’s the bigger seeker that’ll nudge position.

- Thundercracker is pretty polite(most of the time) but he taught Starscream all those insults.

- A bit of a sad one but Novastorm was a sire, he lost his sparkling in the bombing. It’s perhaps one of the reasons he took Sunstorm and Blazewake under his wings after Sandstorm was killed.

I’m about to head off to work but there shall be more eventually >:3

[weirdlookingsnakewithlegs]

Go on give us a headcanon for each seeker. Not all of them of course just 99 of them :3

Bet >:3 we going in wiki order bc I forget names </3

Starscream - Starscream has a sweet tooth, aggressively so. Thundercracker and Skywarp have to hold him back from adding as much gold flakes to his energon as he can.

Thundercracker - He startles easy, very jumpy and flinchy. Not for any reason mind you, he’s just like that.

Skywarp - He mixes up things a lot but he knows his geology and chemistry, he surprisingly loves chemistry. It’s why he was so excited to go to Iacon with Starscream.

Dirge - If you need a mech with completely useless knowledge on literally anything, he’s your mech.

Thrust - He got into a fight with a chicken once, lost.

Ramjet - Once his aft is asleep he is NOT waking up, unless Thrust gets too close.

Bitstream - He is constantly on edge, very uncomfortable being in the war. Shrieks like a child.

Nacelle - Nacelle is basically just a mom to his trinemates, if you see Nacelle scowling it means Hotlink and Bitstream are in trouble.

Hotlink - Constantly figuring out new gadgets, none of which survive for more than ten minutes thanks to Bitstream

Blackout - Surprisingly chill for a seeker and abhorrently friendly at times, he’s basically down to do whatever as long as it sounds fun for him.

Slipstream - The reason seekers started eating grounders, she also has a thing against sad animal movies because and quote “I’m an air captain, I’m not crying over a stupid earth movie” after watching Homeward Bound and clinging to her Turbofox.

Acidstorm - Goes out of his way to annoy other seekers at times, acts like he didn’t do a thing and waits for Novastorm to step in.

Novastorm - Had a conjunx and two sparklings before the war, his loss is what encouraged him to take in Sunstorm, Chemtrail, and Blazewake

Ionstorm - A cunt, fucks with people on purpose and is a manipulative bastard at times at the smallest inconvenience. Made him drop his energon cube? Congrats you got the gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss package.

Sunstorm - Extremely religious, definitely ended up reading into human religions out of curiosity as well.

Cloudcover - Cloudcover is a cliquemate of Sandstorm’s, the two lost the rest of their clique during the bombing. Their close relationship may be the reason Blazewake is alive… but he isn’t exactly aware of that.

Sandstorm - Putting it out, Blazewake is Sandstorm’s brat, Sandstorm taught Blazewake as much as he could and loved his sparkling dearly. Before his death, his last thought was if he was doing Blazewake right by staying in the war.

Avia - Avia is a tiny seeker, on par with Slipstream but just a smidge taller. Unlike most seekers she has a love for squeezing into small places. Places she definitely shouldn’t be in. One of Chemtrail’s not-so siblings.

Chemtrail - Chemtrail is a young seeker that never got to know her sire and creator as they died in the bombing. She was taken in by Wheezingarrow and then was taken in by Novastorm when he passed.

Blast - A rebellious little dipshit, he likes to steal things from Autobots to inconvenience them rather than snuff sparks. One of his favorite moves is flying low and snatching blasters from their opposing faction. He also likes throwing the mechs themselves so maybe he does like snuffing sparks.

Redwing - While he may be a seeker medic, he is not kind. Sympathetic to those injured, he will still bark at you for getting injured in the first place. Has a heavy soft side for sparklings after the bombing.

Blazewake - After Sandstorm’s death, Blazewake became increasingly stubborn and apathetic towards others almost to the point he refused to trine. However, he did, after much nudging from Chemtrail and Blast, they’re best friends.

Wheezingarrow - Before his passing, he had a nack for finding sparklings in need. He raised and cared for as many as he could. Because of this, Chemtrail has a few not-so siblings.

Do you have any just random and or weird head canons for Slipstream or the other seekers? :3 *Eats ur writings*

You have no idea

Okay so for starters, Slipstream is grossly attached to turbofoxes, refuses to eat them simply because she liked their sleek design

She also has the habit of fussing over paint a bit more than normal seekers, not Knock Out level but not far from it. Why? Just because she’s in a war doesn’t mean she can’t feel pretty- her trine definitely hype that up a lot

Ramjet and his trine came together during their mechling times, how you ask? Because Dirge was trying to eat, Thrust stole it, and then Ramjet kicked his aft and they’ve been friends ever since. This same sequence plays over at least three times a week.

When he’s not with the Rainmakers, Novastorm dips into his little hobby of glass art which he often shows off to Sunstorm who absolutely adores it. Ionstorm and Acidstorm are both aware he’s like a sire figure to the younger seeker so they don’t meddle in it.

Bistream and Hotlink, both the major asses they are, will only ever agree on something if Nacelle agrees on it, despite Bitstream being trine leader. Nacelle is just in charge of everything and at this point despite the fact that Bitstream and Hotlink have the brains(and objectively the brawns), Nacelle can at least see past their constant arguing and kinda just tell them to buck the fuck up and get over it.

Sunstorm is a brat, he likes to hang off other seekers but considering no one can really hang around him all the time he’s kinda just in this “fuck you guys” grumpy teenager stage. Novastorm deals with so much

As a sparkling, Blackout gained a title among grounders who visited Vos, specifically the clique he was apart of, as he would often let scraplets loose in their quarters.

Also Blazewake was oddly attached to Sandstorm and there’s a bit of speculation

And that’s all I have right now >:3
