I’ve been binge-watching Initial D lately, and I finally caved... introducing, the Initial TF AU! (im sure this has been done before,,,,) More info under the cut ^^
This is mostly a mix up of all the TF continutites, because I couldn’t stick with just one ^^’
Optimus lives with his father, making runs over a local Mount Iacon pass to deliver important paperwork to Alpha Trion after working throughout the day as a security guard. He’s a recent graduate, and used to fill whatever freetime with studying history. Now, he’s spending evenings with the rest of team Autobot around Iacon trying to stay atop of their racing game. He drives a hand-me-down AE-86, like Takumi’s.
Megatron comes from Mt. Kaon, and leads the Destron racing Team. He’s known for having practically built himself his own little ‘empire’ over there, and has started reaching out to other local groups in an attempt to become the best racer in all of Cybertron. That is, if Starscream stops trying to cause a wreck every other night. He drives an R34 which he worked for himself to get. Hes super proud of it.
Both probably look so young because compared to normal humanformers, I tried to stick with the gerneral idea in Initial D where its a bunch of young (20-30) people enjoying themselves and the cars they drive. So, Optimus is an early 22, and Megatron is closer to 27 (though currently 26).
I have ideas about other characters, and will be making more refs for them, but feel free to ask about it!! Pls do actually aah i rlly like this idea.
