But look at the lil guy. Allspark toddler that turns into a “ball” and loves their adopted parents/mentors very much. A cutie patootie
Side note: after finishing the colors (cuz I was basing the colors off of previous allsparks designs), my first thought was “they just look like a Rung Junior”. And that was then followed by “Yeah, that makes sense”
Thinkin about the MegOp kids again and how they came to be (in the au where the war never happened)
Like— canonically these kids (with the somewhat exception of Energ-Trix) were not born in the canon or fanon way that cybertronians are
Energ-Trix: the once cybertronian named Allspark. Was literally created by Primus and was technically a 14th prime who’s alt-mode and destiny is a planet. Until the incident that made them forcibly hide in the artifact Allspark. Then they gets found by Dee and Orion, and they adopt the little planet prime.
Gilthor: As his original origins, he was created by the Quintessons. However, Optimus and Megatron aren’t at war so spare parts aren’t exactly… possible. So what do the Quintessons do? Why what any normal sane enemy of the cybertronians do. Unethical experiments. In the end, Megatron and Optimus are temporarily fused together and leftover parts were made for a husk for violence. But with the touch of Energ-Trix, the once sparkless bot gains a spark and sentience. When the Quintessons are defeated (and Op + Megs unfused), Gilthor becomes part of the family to allow him to choose who he wants to be.
Ophiuchus and Solarus: Optimus and Megatron were exploring Cybertron with others. They came across a magical cave that held many strange secrets. One of those secrets being crystals that reveal a bot’s memory. And another being a strange pond of energon. Megatron and Optimus investigate, and the twins popped out.
There are jokes made about the two and their ways of having sparklings
More silly thoughts below
Energ-Trix is, by the timeline, older than Op and Megs. With them coming online way before those two do. They know this, and they die a little inside every time they remember this
Gilthor is a triple-changer. He has a fighter jet mode and a tank mode.
The triple-changer factor came from Megatron having his alt-mode forcibly changed from tank to a military-esk helicopter (again due to the Quintessons)((and a lil self indulgent of me like Optimus being a land vehicle and Megatron being an air vehicle)
Ophiuchus resembles Optimus more but has a flight-base mode and acts more like D-16.
Solarus resembles Megatron more but has a land-base mode and acts more like Orion.
The twins alt-modes are still undecided.
The twins are ride and die for each other, but are the first to fight each other for petty reasons
Energ-Trix and Gilthor are ride and die for each other as well. They’re also gossip buddies and will shit talk
All the siblings are ride and die for each other. But they all have dynamics when with a specific sibling.
Energ-Trix is the one who usually gets the others out of trouble
