🌪️
Send me 🌪 to receive a random fact about an AU I have for my muse(s).

Well since you said you wanted to know more about Redstrike himself why don't I just go ahead and tell you a bit more about the AU I created for him to originate from?
So, the Revolt Au (as I call it and you can check specifically Revolt Au for more about the universe in my tags) not only has a new set of 13 primes to which Redstrike, Megatron, Optimus, and others belong to but there is also a group of what are, essentially, anti-primes called Nazir (since Nazir is the opposite of prime in Arabic).
The 13 Nazir were blessed by unicron and had extremely powerful artifacts of their own. Their aim was to resurrect Unicron, take his power and the power of the primes for themselves, and rule the universe with an iron fist. They could match the primes in strength and their artifacts made them deadly foes for them, but they were ultimately defeated. Out of the Nazir Redstrike is directly responsible for the deaths of 3 of them and assisted in the death of a fourth.
Overlord was one of the Nazir Redstrike took out. A particularly deadly enemy all on his own Overlord achieved power enough to defeat primes through the use of the Apex Armor which made him completely invulnerable. After the war with the Nazir was over the surviving members were entered into a rehabilitation program but Redstrike knew that Overlord would use the program as a cover to gain access to the primes and kill them. Starting with either Megatron or Optimus. So...Redstrike lowered Overlord's guard by seducing him and literally killed him with a kiss laced with his venom.
As gruesome as Overlord's death was, it still isn't anywhere near as bad as how Redstrike tricked Buzzclaw into dying. For that Redstrike simply handed over the Triptych Mask... And watched as it bit his head off.
