I actually did these all out of order starting with Day 7 which is why the tattoo looks different. Then came Day 6, Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, and Day 5. So while most of them were in order, Day 7 and 6 were not.
What if you imagined the characters from Transformers One as if they were characters in Arcane (that League of Legends series)? Both stories have a lot in common, and I love swapping characters from different shows and movies into each other’s worlds!
SO, SO, SO REAL!!!! anon, i think i cooked idk cause each continuity has each character having different personalities as compared to other continuities... we are entering rant territory.
ARCANE X TRANSFORMERS, a rant
i can one hundred percent see the Decepticon movement starting in Zaun if Megatron was in the Arcane-verse. Zaun is not much different from Tarn or Kaon. the miners are mistreated and they live horribly in poverty with terrible working conditions while the upperclass (who just so happens to be the majority of Piltover in the Arcane-verse and a good portion of Iacon's upper sub-levels) live happily which brings us to:
Megatron -> Silico & Optimus (TFA Ultra Magnus in case of TFA) -> Vander.
JUST THINK ABOUT THE PARALLELS. it would be so... where do i even start??? it's literally them. both couples start off fighting for the same thing but then have a fall out on how it should be done— though, Optimus wouldn't really resort to choking Megatron the way Vander did to Silico. also, i'm pretty sure Vander and Silico are dating in the alternate universe so tragic MegaOp yaoi opportunity(?)
Megatron as Silico suits the most because Silico wants control of the undercity and he wanted Zaun's liberation from Piltover— in order to do that, Silico is willing to be a chem baron and literally sell drugs, do crime and be violent. much like how Megatron is willing to kill for his goals, for his 'ideal' world. only difference here is that Megatron's ideal world wouldn't end with just the liberation of Zaun but also the subjugation of Piltover. and that's where i think Optimus as Vander would step in.
this would also leave Nemesis Prime -> Warwick (DO YOU SEE MY VISION???)
and of course, Elita One -> Felicia. idk who else to make Felicia. but considering G1 Elita One took care of an entire squadron by herself on Decepticon overrun Cybertron, i think she would definitely want a part in the revolution and rebellion against Piltover.
then there's this one i really, really like:
Soundwave -> Sevika, Soundwave starts of actually caring about the people in the undercity. i was thinking something like Skybound Soundwave where he believes in the Cause more than Megatron.
Barricade -> Sherrif Marcus, self-explanatory.
ahem and of course,
Ultra Magnus -> Officer Grayson, this does not need an explanation. i think it suits. ik he hasn't been introduced in TF:One but i think it suits.
IDW Prowl -> Caitlyn, i'm sorry but this one feels very fitting to me, might be a crazy take idk. both of them are extremely cruel to the opposite faction after events harden them, both have committed warcrimes (i don't need to even start with Prowl and Caitlyn basically gassed Zaun with the gray, chemical warfare). this one feels perfect. I KNOW ITS ABOUT TF:O but i felt the need to put this out there.
hmm I don't know who would be Vi and Jinx.
now, we're gonna be deviating a bit from TFO
TFA Blackarachnia and Armada Starscream are squabbling in my head over the role of Jinx. Armada Starscream in specific because his internal conflict oddly suits Jinx. and they both give their lives in sacrifice, both betray the figure who's approval they want.
Armada Jetfire -> Vi would fit somewhat and be tragic if Armada Starscream is Jinx... or Bumblebee as Vi. but i just can't see Bumblebee as an older sibling figure for the life of me.
Preceptor -> Viktor, i don't have a justification for this one. my gut just tells me it feels oddly right. i might've said Shockwave but Viktor is driven by the need to help the people of the undercity as well as his own emotions— Percy doesn't really fit the mark but he's close, sort of. maybe IDW Thunderwing before he went batshit insane? or G1 Skyfire...
as for Jayce, im not sure. Wheeljack and Brainstorm are close in that arena. Jayce isn't really a mad scientist, he's willing to take risks but he isn't full blown blindly taking them. theres miscalculations, of course.
on the pure basics of aesthetics, like only in an aesthetic point of view, i'm 100% sure that Windblade would kill it as Mel Medarda. but if we're talking in a story perspective, Senator Shockwave as Mel would oddly fit. though, i'd personally prefer Windblade over Sen. Shockwave. Mel & Windblade are both not from Piltover and Cybertron respectively so of course, they wouldn't understand the perils of those in the undercity to begin with and would have to learn the politics of Piltover from scratch. however, personality-wise, Sen. Shockwave oddly suits.
now, Ekko... hmmmmmmmmmmmm... HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. TFA Optimus comes close, maybe Hotshot? not sure about this one either ngl.
THESE ARE JUST MY THOUGHTS. but do let me know if you fw these and comment down your own ideas‼️ im more than happy to discuss about my favorite shows.
im going actually insane im not kidding i need this man to fcuk me so hard and tell me im his good girl, i dk hes so angry and so pathetic and hot i dont give a fuck
I NEED MORE CONTENT OF HIM, MINE'S AREN'T DONE YET BUT I NEED PEOPLE TO WRITE ABOUT HIM, EVEN FANART😭😭💔💔i wish i could convince more people to do more content of marcus, PUH-PLEASE 😭
God, my favourite thing ever is that when he's younger, at the beginning of S1, Marcus is SUCHHH a brat!
He's this bratty guy who is also a spitfire, he likes talking back, and he always acts like he wants control.
He acts out of line because he knows he can get away with it, he brats and snips words and acts like an all-around ass, but it's bratty. It's so distinct.
But later, when he gets that control he thought he wanted, when he becomes sheriff and then starts dealing with Silco, he gets so exhausted so quickly.
He's rougher, gruffer, more steadfast and sharp in his mannerisms and words, but that brattiness is less than half what it was when he was younger.
In, what was it? Nine years? He went from this brash, loud-mouthed, fiery young adult who wanted control to a salt-n-pepper dilf who has all the power one could want— and yet, he only has that through Grayson dying, and Marcus himself dealing with Silco, pretending to keep the— relative— peace.
I love seeing the differences, because he both changes so damn much, and also doesn't change at all.
