Stupid Unicronian headcanons

- When they recharge, they sometimes miss each other so they cuddle and sleep together like cats.

- Galvatron is the shortest. Gets a bit petty when someone measures his height without counting the horns. Cyclonus is the tallest.

Scourge on the other hand looks to be as short as Galvatron but in reality is almost as tall as Cyclonus. He just has bad posture and always walks like a creature.

Galvatron

- I like the idea of Galvatron actually caring for Cyclonus and Scourge. It is something that everyone outside of the Unicronian circle cannot see but the Unicronians have this special bond and can feel it.

- You know how Fix-It from RiD15 had ticks/glitches? I think Galvatron would suffer from such. Sometimes words/sentences can cut off in the middle or repeat a few times. Sometimes making static noises and sometimes even his whole body could shut off for a second or making unwanted repeated movements.

- Galvatron is often not aware whenever that happens, he just knows that something is going on because he is feeling like an internal dissasociation. Not sure how to explain it but here is a doodle:

- Galvatron likes to craft things. It makes his mind calm and quiet from all the buzzing.

- A bit stupid but I like to headcanon Galvatron with body dysmorphia because of how much Unicron reformatted him. Especially in the early days but even to this day, when unexpectedly seeing his own reflection, he can be even startled by not seeing himself- as in Megatron but instead Galvatron.

Cyclonus

- Maybe more of a canon thing Cyclonus can be so oblivious and too literal. That's why I think he and Ultra Magnus would be a good duo.

- Despite his literal understanding of things, he is very philosophical and sometimes even dreamy in in his mind.

- He doesn't always understands sarcasm or some jokes and gets them until a while later or sometimes not at all.

- Compared to Galvatron, Cyclonus doesn't dwell too much about his own existence. He is fine as he is. Perhaps also because when Unicron took Megatron, Megatron was still somewhat alive which stayed by when he got reformatted into Galvatron.

- Thundercracker and Skywarp on the other hand were dead so I think both Cyclonus and Scourge are completely new bots but sometimes experience strange deja vu.

- Despite his devotion to Lord Galvatron, he greatly appreciates Scourge and cares for him just as much as Scourge cares for Cyclonus. Without Galvatron, Cyclonus cannot live and without Scourge, he would feel very empty and numb too.

- Despite being the second-in-command, a superior with high rank, he cannot control the Sweeps under his orders. Even Galvatron struggles with them while Scourge has no problem in making them obey. Even so, the Sweeps feel very comfortable with Cyclonus and some have a silly adoration towards him just like Scourge.

- Cyclonus does not realize how elegant of a bot he is. Even in battle he can move very elegantly. If anyone would tell him that he is a beautiful-looking bot, he would most likely frown in confusion because logically speaking, there are bots out there with better builds.

- Cyclonus, despite being quite slender, his armour is very sturdy and can easily take upon much damage without problem. That explains how he manages to take on Galvatron's hits whenever he can't deal with his own rage.

Scourge

- Scourge is quite anxious and can isolate himself easily. Considering that Cyclonus is the one who is always so loyal, he feels like he doesn't fit well into their circle due to his own cowardice.

- Because of the isolation, sometimes Galvatron and Cyclonus assume that he prefers to be alone and leave him be when in reality, Scourge really craves for the same sort of connection.

Although eventually, I feel like they often do notice that Scourge seems to be down on his mood. While Galvatron is not good at dealing with others feelings- let alone his own- he somehow tries his best to reassure him but it ends up in the aggressive-comforting type of way (shaking Scourge, being angry why he would think so badly of himself, he is strong! He is a Unicronian! Of course he can be a part of them!).

- Speaking of strength, Scourge's claws are very strong and can tear through some very strong metal and rocks.

- He likes to paint his claws and they can also retract. Although Scourge chooses to always have his claws out for aesthetic purpose.

- Overall, Scourge is an extremely hygienic bot and always tries to look his best - not really for others but for himself. He likes to feel pretty.

- Despite fearing Galvatron, he does still look up to him in a way admire him despite all the madness (though not on Cyclonus' level type of admiration). That is a trait Galvatron is very fond of, fear with devotion. The fear was something Cyclonus would never be able to feel towards Galvatron, only the admiration part.

- Scourge is touch starved and loves hugs. It's not something he would really admit because it makes him sound pathetic.

- His wings have engraved patterns of different solar systems, spirals, etc. They are not very visible unless you are close or shine a light at his wings and the patterns sparkle.

Unicronian headcanons part 3

Okay, so hear me out:

- The Unicronians aren't capable of expressing their emotions like for example, crying when sad or laughing when something is funny (although it begins much later which I will explain too). They only feel it inside of them.

Expressing out just doesn't exist in their programming due to how Unicron made them.

- Galvatron on the other hand is half Cybertronian. He was re-made of Megatron when he was still alive compared to Thundercracker and Skywarp who were dead at the time.

- Being half Cybertronian and half Unicronian messes a lot with Galvatron's emotions since he is technically not Unicronian from the beginning.

- Since Unicron hates anything made by Primus, he inflicted suffering so if Galvatron would cry, the tears would burn because they simply weren't meant to exist in his programming. It was something made by Primus, not Unicron so Unicron can only reshape it, not remove nor create due to being the god of destruction.

___

- Although muuch time after Unicron's defeat, when the Unicronians try to find themselves in their self-discovery and get back their autonomy,

They start being more expressive (or well, Galvatron has always been but I am thinking specifically Cyclonus and Scourge since they are full Unicronian in my ideas).

- Although it all sounds very unnatural. Between them, it sounds normal but then from an outside point of view, they seem so uncanny. Maybe Scourge would be better at it than Cyclonus but still.

- A good example is that one episode in G1 where Cyclonus says something and then he starts laughing in such a silly way for an uncomfortable long while haha. I unfortunately forgot the name of the episode.

- Was talking to someone how Cyclonus would practice in front of a mirror and be so proud of himself. Then there is Scourge who would facepalm because Cyclonus is really so bad at it but doesn't have the heart to tell him + I think he would love that in Cyclonus regardless.

Here is a sneak peek of my upcoming new post.

SCOURGE AND SWEEPS HEADCANONS

I like to think that while Sweeps are all individual sentient bots, I think they would work similarly to TFA Starscream's clones. They are all part of Scourge and everything that is going on in his head but exaggerated.

So let's say there is a part of Scourge that is slightly insecure, then there will be one Sweep that is a complete punching bag. Another part of him likes "fashion" (considering his fancy nails and awesome facial hair), then there will be a Sweep that enhances that even more.

Although what all Sweeps do in fact have in common is the infatuation towards Cyclonus.

Scourge deeply admires Cyclonus and looks up to him but well, Cyclonus is a high commander, Galvatron's right hand! Scourge was nothing compared to his Unicronian comrades, let alone Cyclonus. That jet doesn't even realize how beautiful he was.

But of course, this is all just in Scourge's mind and not something he would ever admit (even though he isn't all that useless at all and in fact brings out a lot).

His Sweeps on the other hand are so open about it. They all get so happy whenever Cyclonus is around and want to talk to him all the time. It's like dogs wagging their tails even though the owner has been gone for only 5 minutes. Scourge feels embarassed.

Most of the time Cyclonus is either oblivious or just confused. Although I think if something clicked in him, he would drag Scourge in and want to hear all these thoughts and feelings the Sweeps have but from Scourge himself, not from the Sweeps.

I'm going to write a fanfiction... surprisingly, there is a lot of Cyscourge from me lately.

More Unicronian headcanons

- In my previous Unicronian headcanons post, I mentioned how Cyclonus wouldn't be able to live without Galvatron while without Scourge, he would feel empty and numb.

I changed my mind.

- NONE of the Unicronians can live without the other. If one would die, I think the two remaining ones would die of heartbreak.

- I feel like their bond is just so special. The regular Cybertronians made by Primus are many. They have whole big communities and everything.

- Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge were made by Unicron. Despite them being similar to Cybertronians, they aren't made by Primus. They only have each other in this big black void.

- I like to think that because they weren't made by Primus, a lot of things seem very strange for the Cybertronians. Almost like outcasts, no matter how similar they look, the Unicronians just feel different. But it didn't matter because they always had each other.

- An additional thing, they usually have their electromagnetic fields close to themselves, not sharing it. Exception is when they are with each other.

- Cyclonus would have it easiest to control his own field, mostly having it closed although since he isn't very good at showing emotions through his expression, he sometimes during special moments shares the field. Especially with Scourge, I think Scourge just needs some extra reassurance.

- Galvatron is mixed, most of the time it is also close to himself, even with positive emotions because he is afraid of appearing vulnerable. Although oftentimes when in distress, Cyclonus feels a hint of his field and knows how to comfort him.

- Scourge is so bad at holding his field close to himself. Whenever stressed, afraid, sad, excited or in joy, Cyclonus and Galvatron know it immediately. Sometimes they help him by pointing it out if they are in any public events.

- In the previous post I mentioned how Galvatron wouldn't be very good at comforting and do it aggresively. Meanwhile Cyclonus, he knows how to listen and sit by with no words needed.

- Scourge thinks he is bad at comforting but in reality is very good. I imagine that with so many Sweeps under his command, many of them come to him with their problems so he always knows exactly what to do. Imagine Scourge's big wings hugging like a blanket and really giving great hugs. He would retract his claws so he wouldn't scrape on accident and I imagine his servos without the claws being very soft, patting your back in circles.

Do you think Scourge liked earth creatures? Since I’ve read one of your fanfic on ao3, I’m interested to know him more :3

Oh, how nice to hear that! It is such a fun question that I never thought of before.

Perhaps he would have a love-hate relationship with them. In one way, I can see him somewhat relate to them, especially the ones that look so different from others (such as reptiles, insects, arachnids or bats).

Scourge himself looks very different from all the Cybertronians due to being Unicronian but even his own Unicronian comrades don't look alike him (except for the Sweeps).

Not to mention that our earthly creatures tend to be treated badly, especially the ones mentioned above due to people having phobias and well, they aren't humans and don't feel certain things the same as us.

Plus that animals are unfortunately much weaker to human forces and I like to headcanon that Scourge often sees himself as quite weak. He doesn't have all that huge weapon like Galvatron and neither can he take as much beating as Cyclonus without problem. Instead, he relies on his senses, vision, hearing, etc, since he is a tracker after all. Just like our animals on earth.

We do see Scourge oftentimes being kind of like an outsider in the show. He doesn't get as much screen time as other characters and his Sweeps get treated just like our own animals on earth.

Although the idea that Scourge can somewhat relate to them is what he would hate. Unicron forbid his own creations to relate to something as low as an earth creature. Not even Primus' creations - the Cybertronians - relate to something like that, they are above such "low intelligence" (exception being Optimus and Beachcomber who see beautiful in everything).

So yes, my answer would be that Scourge has mixed feelings.

Galvacyscourge below that shows how much Scourge stands out from his comrades.
