[fragmentation au + sg fragmentation au thing]

how the combiners think about their sg counterparts in the first crossover event

Devastator: he's more? disappointed than anything? he finds sg dev's commitment to healing and building over destruction baffling when destroying things is just so much better. there's not a lot of malice or hatred involved, it's more of a 'come on. i know you can do better' thing.

Menasor: jealous. very jealous of the relationships sg menas has. he's nicer, and hence weaker, but he's??? so much happier??? and can actually hold himself against him in a fight??? and the other two like and respect him (things he does not get from his own devastator and bruticus)??? how??? why can't he have that???

Bruticus: utter disdain for how small and pathetic (i need to find another adjective dammit) his counterpart is. sg bruticus is not the most confident and secure and it shows, which further fuels bruticus' ego as the superior version. he's gonna taunt and bully the hell out out of sg bruticus no questions asked.

Superion: somewhere between disdain, irritation and disappointment. sg superion is just straight up a yapping angry brat. he's gonna give his counterpart an angry dad stare (don't ask me how he does it through the visor you kinda just feel the vibe) while beating the scrap out of sg peri.

Defensor: horror. actual horror. this sadist in the guise of a rescue team who abuses his alt modes to torment humans and cybertronians alike goes against everything defensor personally stands for. it probably sends him spiralling into existential crisis and worrying if one day he'll become like his counterpart.

Computron: i think he'll straight up bluescreen meeting his SG counterpart. nothing he says makes sense. everything he does inside and outside combat is so chaotic and erratic it's difficult to make any sort of calculation and prediction. confusion doesn't even begin to describe it. he's gonna overheat somebody help him-

im bored and had a pretty bad week so here's some lore on sg fragmentation au! introducing the horrible sg bot combiner trio! all of them are terrible as people(?) but insist on being the sane one!

sg superion: a bundle of barely repressed rage, superion is only viewed by the autobots as a weapon of mass destruction and a means to win the war, and he himself is very aware of this fact. superion has no love for the autobots and constantly thinks of leaving the faction. he's also very aware that the autobots are the bad guys. that being said, he is by no means a good mech himself or willing to join the decepticons, and frankly is somewhat frightened by the potential consequences should he fail to escape. feeling trapped, he reluctantly resigns to his fate and takes all of his frustrations in life out during battle, just so everyone can feel the same misery he does. in other words he basically uses battles as opportunities for his destructive tantrums. also constantly talks shit about his colleagues. an asshole with some degree of self awareness, but an asshole nonetheless. very much a 'i feel like shit so i will make it everyone else's problem' guy.

sg defensor: a soft-spoken sadist who occasionally bursts into fits of unhinged laughter, defensor enjoys pretending to rescue both humans and cybertronians amidst battles between the autobots and decepticons, and 1. just. stand there and do nothing while people cry for help. 2. make the situation worse (like adding gasoline to fires) or 3. kidnap them and use them as hostages. seeing helpless ones hopefully seek rescue only to be abandoned to a worse fate gives him the kicks. to keep up the disguise, neither defensor himself nor his components wear faction badges. does not particularly care about the factional conflicts, but is aware that the autobots are more willing to tolerate his cruelty than the decepticons and thus tries to remain in the bots' good graces. he enjoys collecting hostages and locking them up for observation or medical testing to satisfy his curiosity. however, defensor's true fascination is looking into the physiology and psychology of combiners, which increased tenfold since learning about the existence of fragmentation. very much looks forward to the day he can capture a decepticon combiner, though he would resolve to 'taking care' of one of the other two pn his side when push comes to shove.

sg computron: one of the most unhinged mechs among the autobot science division, and considering the characters we have there, that's not an easy feat to accomplish. immoral and hellbent on pushing out as many battle plans and machine blueprints as possible regardless of quality, computron started experimenting on himself in order to slow down and even reverse fragmentation, which unfortunately resulted in part of his internal engines and circuits actually becoming damaged. part of his logic circuits are genuinely fried. most of the things and plans computron make don't work properly or even make sense most of the time, but despite his inefficiency and incompetence, computron has a huge ego. considers himself above pretty much every scientist who ever existed, and even the notorious autobot scientists don't want to touch him with a ten foot pole, as any potential collaboration would be a nightmare. he's really only kept around due to his instability making him an unpredictable foe in battle, otherwise he would have been scrapped a long time ago.
