How RID Steeljaw n IDW Tarn meeting would go

Something something Poor Steelie getting Dominus Ambused and being Pet playmate?

*MANIACAL LAUGHTER* OH BELIEVE ME I'VE CONSIDERED THE DJD ARRIVING IN RID15

...though. If Tarn's already a decent way into his spiral about Megatron denouncing the decepticons, and Steeljaw's here promising mecha he'll turn Earth into a decepticon homeworld, there might be just might be grounds for an alliance if Tarn sees benefit to the Cause. Especially if he doesn't know of Cyclonus's plans on Cybertron.

sorry clampdown you're fucked I don't see a way out of this one chief

Though I do think that fate would do it's thing and Steeljaw's alliance with Tarn would be doomed no matter what

The idea of Domesticating Steeljaw is SO SO SO interesting, especially since he has a vehicle based altmode and it's his root mode that's animalistic. I do think that seeing him slotted next to Dominus Ambus is definitely a possibility.

Hi! If it's okay to request/ask, could you do a scenario/headcanon of tfrid 2015, Steeljaw's pack, with human (gn! or f!) Reader? Romantic/Platonic

Human Reader's a cinnamon roll, and has the personality/backstory of Perrito from Puss in Boots movie. They're very motherly and therapy-like friend and also a Pacifist but can be passive-aggressive…

Steeljaw's pack x cinnamon roll gn human hcs

Grrrrr hello anon! Ty for the request, I hope this is what you were looking for- I can always do another if not 🫶(I haven't watched tfrid in a hot minute, hopefully I didn't forget anyone- lmao)

Steeljaw: He admires your ability to keep everyone in check in spite of your small size, though you're also slightly unnerving to him. How can you be so kind and patient after the life you've lived? He trusts you, but he'll also try to keep an eye on you, just in case.

Thunderhoof: To him, you're a pleasant change of pace compared to the rest of the group. Since you're so kind and relaxed, he often goes to you to unwind after a long day. Of course, in front of the others he'd treat you the same as everyone else, but when he's alone with you he's actually a pretty decent dude.

Fracture (+Divebomb & Airazor): He'd never admit it, but he's rather fond of you. Sometimes he worries about you since you're a pacifist, and he'll try to convince you to train with him and teach you some swordsmanship skills. As he sees your ability to keep people in check with your passive-aggressiveness, he slowly relaxes and doesnt bother you about training as much. His minicons, Divebomb and Airazor, are obsessed with you. They think you're amazing! They always try to grab your attention to play games with you while the others are on missions. You're like a parent to them, and Fracture only trusts you to watch over them when he can't take them on a mission.

Underbite: He tries to keep up his tough and intimidating reputation, but he's really just a big sweetheart. Underneath all that bulk is a golden retriever personality, and it shines around you. He'd die on the spot if anyone ever found out, but he loves playing catch with you. You always make sure that he gets enough metal to eat so he doesn't get distracted during missions, and his performance continues to improve thanks to you.

Clampdown: Whenever he gets in trouble with the others, which is often, he'll run to hide behind you. Your pleasant demeanor is usually able to calm the situation before someone loses their cool at him. The poor coward clings to you like glue, staying with you for protection.

Chapter two: Peas in a Pod

┆ ┆ ┆ ┆⋆┆ ┆ ┆ ┆⋆┆ ┆ ┆ ┆⋆┆ ┆ ┆ ┆⋆┆ ┆ ┆ ┆⋆┆ ┆ ┆ ┆⋆

Dragging the blue silvery pod was proven to be a task even as Drift did his best to drag the thing out of the ditch, but with the help of his Minicons, they managed to get it out and called the rest for transportation.

—----------------------------

Once they returned with their findings, Fixit worked away as he examined the exterior of the pod.

“Good work on finding the source.” Bumblebee complimented Drift for his excellent findings. The bounty hunter nodded, at least he didn’t explain his embarrassing story of how he stumbled upon it.

“Hey guys, what do we-” Denny was about to ask when he and Russell spotted the pod, blue eyes widened in awed as they approached the team. The light reflecting off the pod’s surface added a wonder to it, like a good fortune is about to come.

“Up, up, up, you’re not coming any closer now Denny Clay!” Fixit intervened as the orange Minicon obscured the pod out of the humans’ view.

“I’m still in the middle of analyzing, however my scanner deduced this pod is an escape pod; albeit a small one.”

“An escape pod?” murmured Bumblebee as he examined the exterior. He doesn’t see why this pod could be special, though it vaguely bears a stronger resemblance to the stasis pods, the ones they imprisoned captured Decepticons from their missions, except for the brilliance gleam of silvery blue. Like it supposed to represent importance to whomever lost it, the glass frosted over that nobody could see through, and down to the middle is a very strange carving. 

Bumblebee failed to notice the carving thanks to the overly flashy outer shell, his shadow blocked out the sun’s light as he got a good view. Those strange carvings are no other than Cybertronians glyphs, and it’s also one sentence.

“What did you find?” piped Jetstorm as he passed the dream-stuck Clays and approached beside Bumblebee, curious of what the bigger bot saw.

“Oh, Jetstorm,” Bumblebee replied as he made a nonverbal gesture of lifting Jetstorm, to which he nodded and picked the Minicon to get a view as well. “I just found Cybertronian writing in the middle, and it seems it only had one sentence no less.”

“One sentence? Just one?”

“I believe so.”

“Whaaat?” whined Fixit as he wheeled over to Bumblebee, and he saw the glyphs as well.

“Well?” Sideswipe chimed as he, Grimlock, Strongarm, Drift, the Clays, and Slipstream gathered around the pod, eager to know the short sentence. “What did it say?”

—---------------------------------------------------------------------------

High in a nearby hill by the scrapyard, a pointed ear flicked as the sound it heard traveled. His fanged smile grew ever so slightly.

“A short sentence?” Clampdown murmured as he is assigned to be Steeljaw’s parrot, relaying the information from the Wolficon as nobody in the Pack had excellent hearing as Steeljaw. Not to mention being a curious crab.

“You heard that right brother,” a chill coo from Steeljaw’s voicebox that made Clampdown so nervous “they found a pod with glyphs. Doesn’t it make you excited? About whatever it could be inside?”

“Not really,” Thunderhoof grumbled, “whatever is in there is really not worthy.”

“Patience, Thuderhoof,” the Wolficon smoothly replied to the ex-mob boss as he swiveled his head back to the direction of the conversation “patience.”

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Let’s see..” Bumblebee squinted at the small writing as he studied them.

Everyone patiently waited in anticipation, all optics, hidden ears, and eyes trained to the yellow bot, before the first word was spilled.

“May…”

“Yeah?” Sideswipe whispered as to not be loud.

“The…”

Everyone leaned in closer, dying to know.

“Starlings…”

“Bring…”

“Eternal…”

“Ooooohhhhh I can’t take it!” Grimlock whispered, desperately wanting this to be over with.

“Happiness…” was the last sentence Bumblebee read. Everyone was quiet, some were expecting something to happen, and others were stumped by whatever message this sentence was supposed to mean.

“May the starlings bring eternal happiness?” Sideswipe said as he looked over the sentence as he read it “what in the Primes’ is that supposed to mean?”

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The other Pack members were confused by what Clampdown last said, ‘May the starlings bring eternal happiness’? What the scrap is that about. Before they even about to question Steeljaw, who is still listening, the leader hissed at them to be silent and let him listen.

“Don’t utter another word, something is about to happen and I know it!”

Steeljaw was right, something did happen at the scrapyard, and others were there to witness it… and it was so beautiful as a light shot at the blue afternoon sky.

—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just as he placed his servo on top of the glyphs, Bumblebee shot back and fell as a strong beacon of light rose towards the sky, making the world around them a little white. The Bee Team had no idea how it happened, well, Bumblebee is to blame, but how on Earth are they going to stop it and bring unwanted attention.

For roughly ten seconds, the beam died down and everything was back to normal. Bumblebee got up and checked on the pod, while others emerged from their hiding spots and checked as well.

“What even is that?!” Strongarm asked as she was beside her lieutenant, eyeing at the pod.

“No clue.” Bumblebee replied.

Everyone once again gathered around the pod, all were in shock. The glyphs were glowing along with the rim of the pod sliding door, then suddenly the plaque, in a shape of a circle, twisted counterclockwise in three twirls, and by the fourth the door hissed as steaming air escaped.

The latch opened and the Bee Team leaned in for a closer inspection, drawing their weapons and bracing for whatever is in the pod.

Once the stream is clear, they all pointed at the chamber and were in shock once more. The pod itself is… empty? They all looked in and found nothing. That was a relief.

“I guess the scanners were wrong…” muttered Fixit as he was about to leave when a noise came from the pod. Everyone was confused, particularly Jetstorm as he leaned toward the inside of the pod and looked down. A big gasp escaped from him as both Bee and Drift also looked at where Jetstorm is looking. Everyone else is staring.

“What’s wrong Lieutenant?” Strongarm asked urgently.

“Shh.” Bumblebee shushed quietly, signaling that everyone should lower their voice. A smile painted across his, Jetstorm, and Drift’s faceplates as each took small, yet not large, round objects inside the pod. It really looks like the three were… cradling?

“Bee, what did you find?” Russell whispered as he and Denny approached the cradlers, and as they approached, Denny couldn’t help but notice something that strongly resembled that humans do, especially to babies.

Drift and Bee carefully and slowly put Jetstorm down with the object he cradled, and both humans now saw what the bots had. In Jetstorm’s arms, is a velvet green with gold color, small, miniature version of a young Minicon. To further the proof, it opened its turquoise colored optics with little lashes.

Carcinization Prime

The Prime who’s aspect is over carcinization, a phenomenon in evolution (not just limited to Earth) where organisms keep evolving crab-like bodies. Just like with all Primordial Primes, drinking his blood will mutate your body, in this case turning you into a crab.

Powers include:

Laser Crab (pictured above): Kills you with power of crab

Crab Laser(victim pictured below): Turns you into crab with power of crab
