You should write beast wars, can I have some silly predacon headcanons?

I should absolutely write beast wars. Silly Predacon headcanons coming up

-Megatron talks battle strategy with his rubber duck all the time. He considers it his most trusted advisor because it's never said anything stupid and never tried to kill him. Honestly, he's tempted to think of the little dude as his only real friend.

-Speaking of Megatron, the man is a WHORE for a good bath bomb. Lush addiction, 100%. He has a whole hidden stock of bath bombs, bath salts, scented oils, candles, decorative soaps, scented metal polish and flower petals specifically for spoiling himself when he feels like hes completely surrounded by idiots. Which is often. Has he ever tried to eat one of the decorative soaps that look like baked goods? It doesn't count if it's the t rex hand.

-the reason skorponok occasionally reverts into caveman speak for some episodes is the writers couldn't figure out what to do with him he knows talking like that pisses off tarantulas and he thinks his annoyance is funny even though literally nobody else is amused by the bit.

-skorponok actually kind of misses dinobot because he made his job a lot easier. Constantly pitching ideas, suggesting battle strategies, pointing out flaws in plans. He was useful, even if he seemed to hate skorponok. He doesn't really know how to be a good second in command anymore because a crucial part of the dynamic is missing and he just can't adapt.

-waspinator is perfectly capable of speaking in normal grammar and not in the third person but he's been doing it since he joined in with Megatron and at this point he thinks he's in too deep to knock it off. He thinks it makes him sound cuter because it's actually an evolution of internet uwu speak. Memes get weirdly translated from earth to Cybertron and back.

-waspinator is actually really good at baking but he'll get blasted to bits a thousand times over before he lets anyone other than terrorsaur know because none of his other coworkers deserve to try his cupcakes (and also because he doesn't want to get "promoted" to kitchen slave). Dinobot knew, but he didn't snitch. Wasp never found out that Dinobot would occasionally snag a brownie, he always thought he just counted wrong.

-Terrorsaur is not above attempting to seduce a maximal but all his flirting attempts go horribly awry. If they don't outright reject him they just have no idea what he's getting at bc Predacon flirting is usually a lot different than maximal flirting so everyone thinks he's just kind of being a dick like usual. Dinobot knows exactly what is happening and ranges anywhere from amused to disgusted by the cross-faction fling attempts. The flying weasel clearly has no principles.

-Every couple weeks or so wasp and terrorsaur will get together to watch terrible movies over a bottle of highgrade and it always devolves into bitching about megatron. They tried inviting tarantulas a few times but he'd always make things Weird by bringing in slashers with really good special effects and proceeding to gush about how tasty the gore looks.

-Tarantulas knows what just about every living species in the known galaxy tastes like, organic, mechanical and everything in between. If it's made contact with Cybertron, chances are he's he's tried their flesh (or lack thereof). If it's at all possible, he wants to find out enough about the Vok to figure out how to capture, kill and eat one.

-Tarantulas also thinks rampage is a total poser when it comes to cannibalism. He doesn't even look like he's having fun with it. Barely any torturing or teasing beforehand, only dramatic monologues about fear and anguish. Bah! Amateur...

-Blackarachnia has a trash tv addiction. She doesn't know WHY the Darksyde's datatrax has every season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and like 30 TLC produced shows, but she refuses to stop watching them. Tarantulas fucking hates it. She does not care and if he complains she will turn the volume higher.

-Blackarachnia has incredibly mixed feelings on the story Cinderella. On the one hand, it gives her a degree of hope. A girl reduced to a work slave for terrible people that gets to escape and live it up with a guy that lives her? Great conceptually, but she only got to get out of it because she was a good person and nice to everyone. Blackarachnia? Not quite so disgustingly sweet. She's a bad girl through and through. And evidently bad people don't get to escape bad situations. Oh well. She can always try to fake it til she makes it.

-Inferno has always secretly hoped that when the war is over, his Queen Megatron will settle down with him and repopulate the colony together. He has wildly saccharine domestic daydreams of being with his giant beloved lizardy queen and their 3000+ kids. He has accidentally let this slip around Megatron once, who proceeded to pointedly ignore what he just said.

-Terrorsaur and Blackarachnia got Inferno to watch Drag Race but upon hearing the contestants being called queen, he took it a bit too literally and interpreted the show as the sad, underwhelming way human queens settle disputes between their colonies instead of just fighting the proper way. Lame.

-Quickstrike is so so very sad he can't play video games. He wants to play GTA and cause excessive and wanton death and destruction, but his fucked up hands cannot hold the controller. He forsakes Primus for building him the way he did. He keeps trying to get tarantulas to make him a usable controller but he gets brushed off every time.

-Quickstrike has attempted to ride inferno in his beast mode into battle. It did not end well but for about a solid 18 seconds it looked metal as hell.

-Rampage actually really likes depth charge and wants to be friends sooooo bad but he doesn't know how to handle that in a healthy way so he keeps trying to get his attention by playing up the cannibalism thing and hoping they fight again. Honestly he just kind of likes depth charge holding him, even if it's in a chokehold.

-After losing transmutate, Rampage projected a lot of his grief onto waspinator, which lead to a very strange period of time on the ship where rampage would get very cuddly and protective of wasp, who was incredibly terrified of what would happen if he shoved the crab off. Usually accompanied by Rampage being Incredibly Sad.

-every month the preds have a game night. Usually a board game or card game with Megatron's house rules. Said house rules are specifically designed to make a fight break out for his amusement. These game nights typically end with at least three people in the r-chamber and somebody missing at least one limb.

So. As a Megatron stanny, I have some serious beef with Getaway I want to get off my chest. You do not have to read this, you are totally entitled to disagree with me. Just be polite.

So. My biggest issue, right out the gate, is that people say Getaway was justified in what he did. He did some fucked up things to get Megatron off the ship, but it was to get the warlord and his supporters off. That, right out the gate, is wrong. He wanted Rodimus and his supporters gone. He and Atomizer made a fake list of those who did and didn’t vote him off. Likely to entice him to use it and make him look bad. Megatron, if anything, was a boon for them. It let them be more open about their plot.  I’d bet they had a secondary plan to get Rodimus off once Megatron was gone even, as Getaway clearly hated Rodimus as well.

I say he wanted Rodimus gone because he says he realised they would never find the knights of cybertron once he saw the rodpod. That means he wanted to find the knights desperately for a while. He wanted to be Prime more than anything.

Also, he clearly doesn’t hate Decepticons that much, because he sided with Scoponok. Yeah Scorponok. In case you didn’t know, for a not insignificant period of time, Skorponok was the Decepticon Supreme Commander for a while. Who continued to commit other war crimes on other worlds. He sides with this Decepticon, despite him not even being repentant like Megatron.

And why does he side with Decepticon? Along with Tyrest, who held him prisoner for likely millions of years. Sides with Sunder, who turned so many mechs aboard the ship inside out, chews on life cords, and made him sacrifice 25 of his own. What could drive someone to do all this?

No one was around to make him Prime. He was mad Rodimus got to be special and chosen by the Matrix, while he didn’t. He sided with them because he was angry, and he wanted to kill Rodimus and friends.

He had done so much for nothing, so he decided the only logical conclusion was to get worse.

He killed both of his best friends, killed those 25 Autobots. Made those who sided against fight the DJD. Hemanipulated Tailgate to be a martyr against Megatron And when found it didn’t mean he would get to be Getaway Prime, he lashed out. He threw a tantrum and tried to kill those he deemed responsible. 

And let's talk about his relationships while we’re here. Let’s start with his first, Skids. Clearly they have some affection for each other. Friendly or not. Yet when he learned Skids wouldn’t side with him for a mutiny, he wiped his memory, and dumped him on a planet with someone he deems (fairly) the worst Cybertronian in history. He must learn at some point that he died. He knew it was definitely likely. And he didn’t seem that bothered. He had everyone’s memories wiped, and kept on trekking. 

Then there’s Atomizer. His co-conspirator. The one who stuck with him through thick and thin. He agreed with the Tailgate and Whirl plan, he agreed with  leaving them at the mercy of the galactic council. He agreed to let the crew's memories be wiped. But when he started questioning Getaway’s cruelty? He was reprimanded. He was made to execute an innocent he never knew, just because he was having some second thoughts. When he couldn’t stand watching Mirage, one of his own, being killed. When he couldn’t bring himself to allow that fate to befall First-Aid, or Riptide, or Thunderclash, he was killed. When Atomizer couldn’t stand the thought of the most universally beloved Autobot being killed, Getaway killed Atomizer, with his bare hands. Whothen proceeded to attempt to have Sunder make everyone believe it was Thunderclash.

And finally, Tailgate. This is where a lot of people draw the line with Getaway that aren’t Megan Stans like myself. His idea here was to get Tailgate to become a martyr to have him get rid of Megatron. Not the worst thing he’s done so far when phrased like this. First of all, let's cut out the argument that Megatron deserves it, that’s irrelevant. If people are willing to ignore Starscream’s treachery to focus on Megatron’s abuse, let's ignore Megatron to justify Getaway’s abuse. Getaway starts initiating a relationship with Tailgate. He does the things with Tailgate that Cyclonus is too proud or self conscious to do. He goes on dates, tells him (quite possibly false) secrets. He butters up Tailgate, feeding into his ego, and giving him the boyfriend he so badly wants. And behind his back? Mocks him, and considers it a necessary sacrifice for justice. He uses Megatron’s phobia, and makes Tailgate trigger it so he Tailgate would die to get rid of Megatron, to likely continue to get rid of Rodimus with an equally underhanded and disgusting scheme. Tailgate only survives because Whirl knew of the plot, had second thoughts, and warned Cyclonus. Someone who had nothing to do with the war, was nearly sacrificed because Getaway felt like it was the only way to kill one of the generals. 

So, how do I feel about Getaway? I hate him. I hate him very much, and given how he acts, if he was given the chance, he would be just as bad as those he wishes to get rid of. I would say he’s even worse than the most morally grey Autobot Prowl, because I could believe that what he does is with a heavy heart. What Getaway does is with minor inconvenience. Heholds no empathy for friends, the innocent, superiors or inferiors. Only himself becoming a Prime. 

I’m interested in other’s thoughts, but I would appreciate everyone being civil.
