The difference between cyberverse!Ratchet and LL!Ratchet's funny to me, because I can easily see the bots assuming that cyberverse is younger, but then he speaks and sounds like he just smoked 20 cy-gars. Still got that party spirit though. Also him telling robot gore stories and freaking some bots out for fun, til someone tells him to calm down.
I can see Hot Rod being so suspicious of Thunderclash because how can someone be THAT nice... then getting along with him a couple days later when Cheetor and Bumblebee INSIST on them meeting.
I think the closest way to make cyberverse Whirl like his counterpart is to make him unfazed by violence, because otherwise he's a total sweetheart. (That has a high chance of getting hit by something for some reason) Tailgate probably likes him. It's like he switched personalities with Drift or something. (Still haven't decided if it should be AFTER that betrayal or not. If it is, sorry IDW!Drift but you will be receiving many glares at first.)
Then we got Optimus teaching Hot Rod about leadership because he sees potential, and them just having a better relationship than IDW Optimus and Rodimus in general. I feel bad for Rodimus, watching his counterpart actually being prepared instead of just thrown in the position of leadership, but after the initial jealousy also feeling a bit happy that at least one of his counterparts has better circumstances.
When Hot Rod's called responsible, he just laughs and is like "oh don't worry, I plan on meteor surfing when we get back."
Or maybe it's Cheetor that excitedly mentions it, and they're like "wait what." Either way, Optimus closes his optics and sighs, but then smiles a moment later. "Just don't join a gang this time."
And I haven't even TALKED about Prowl, or how he races Hot Rod in Cyberverse... Must be whiplash for Lost Light lol.
I honestly love all of this because it really does throw them all for loop.
Yoooooo i found u Roddy!!
May i ask want do you think about cyberverse drift/deadlock? What was your relationship like when you were still on the Ark? And what do you think of him now? Did you hate him or just have no feelings?。。or。Do you think he's really dead?
Woahhh, you found me!! :0
What do I think about Drift? He’s a selfish, stupid fragging back-plate-stabbing GLITCH—wait.. that’s mean.. uh.. I think he’s a selfish, stupid, loyal glitch who tried to destroy the Allspark with our back-plates turned. What was our relationship back on the Ark? It wasn’t that bad, I didn’t really interact with him that much besides asking what he would do once we got home. Did I hate him? No. But if we’re talking about how he betrayed us, I do.
…
What do you mean by thinking he’s.. actually dead? I—I swear he is! I know he is! I think? I came out of that swamp alive, and never saw him after! I KNOW he’s dead! I know he’s gone.. maaaaaaayyybe he isn’t?
I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about Cyberverse Drift...
Helllooooo can I ask what your cyberverse Drift ship :3
SCREAMS okay I really love drift and perceptor in general and this has lead me to come up with drift x percy x deadend right because I like the idea of two decepticon defectors exploring a relationship together (+their science boyfriend)
BUT ALSO I love drift x rodimus/hotrod so hear me out on drift x percy x roddy x deadend as well
BUT I ALSO LOVE DRATCHET so I'm going to add ratchet to their polycule too
So we have uh
Drift x perceptor
Drift x deadend
Drift x hotrod
Drift x ratchet
Secret fifth option where they're all a giant polycule
Also drift x Starscream but this is purely me throwing tons of headcanons and just playing with touys and dynamics and aus and what ifs for fun
