Aaouauaugh this is late on here, but aaaaaa I made something :3

Anyway what do you do when you like one ship from one continuity and a different one from another continuity? That’s right, you make both of them happen in your continuity ٩( ᐛ )و yippie! Three cute old man robots oh boy! Yay!

Uh a couple different versions of it and me rambling like a madman ahead—

First one has a heart in the background but I lowkey didn’t like the color I picked for it and then couldn’t change it so yeah whatever. Second one is just the artwork without any of the lighting effects put onto it :)

Anyway the thought process was the two reasons I’ve already mentioned, but then also the fact that this would kinda work out as like the first person Drift proved right and the first person he proved wrong if that makes sense. Like Ratchet was super supportive and told him he was special after joining the Autobots, but then Ironhide would be one of the first people he was deployed with who was skeptical and distrusting of him.

Anyway uh yeah, late valentines :)

For the Ship ratings 😉 SkyStar ThunderWarp Ratchide

SkyStar: A+: OTP

Ah yes! My absolute favourite! I just adore these two so much and I want them to be happy. Let Starscream be happy, and more specifically let him be happy with his lovely soft shuttle boyfriend who loves him so much! I just fell head over heels for this pairing when I found it and I love it so much.

ThunderWarp: B: It’s really cute!

I love them. It always feels natural to see them together in fics and it’s always nice when they do. In my own fics I often lean towards a general trine camaraderie feel but still doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy the ship

Ratchide: D: I’m neutral on it

It feels like one of those ships I’m aware of but not too fussed about. I guess the idea is they’re two gay old guys together? Sounds nice but I’m still more likely to ship Ratchet/Wheeljack (cos why wouldn’t I ship Ratchet with his science husband), and Ironhide/Chromia (in G1 at least. IDW Chromia is totally a lesbian, but I find the idea of them as a couple in the original cartoon cute).
