Trypticon Headcanons. (War for Cybertron/Aligned Continuity)

Trypticon, Armageddon taken form; a beast that, supposedly, only Megatron had the power to tame. Many would think that such a creature of carnage lacked the capacity to feel anything but fury and animosity for those that stood in the way of his destruction or defied the will of his master, but peculiarly, Trypticon was able to process higher emotions than mere hatred. After all, he would not have been able to call someone his own if he lacked such capability.

Trypticon and his S/O keep their relationship on the very down low for quite a variety of reasons, so best not to allow either faction to know how deep their fondness goes.

Between the both of them, Trypticon and his S/O share a tightly knitted bond of respect and trust. Even if their allegiances were not aligned and they partook in opposing sides of the war, they could never lose that trace of indisputable love and adoration.

With that in mind, Trypticon can’t always resist himself sometimes when his S/O is throwing themselves in the midst of evident danger. His protective instinct is incredibly strong and borderline impossible to contain, especially when his S/O is near a lethal encounter. Expect him to be stubborn as a mule (if not more so) when it comes to their safety; no, they aren’t going to be walking into a suicidal death trap, and there is nothing they could do about it. If S/O is keen on rebelling, likely chance Trypticon throws them into his chassis and keeps them there till they give up. :P (It’s a goddamn maze in there I tell you.)

Incredibly confident and proud of having someone like his S/O as his sparkmate; if their relationship wasn’t sworn to secrecy, Trypticon would be boasting about their capabilities, even if they believe they are in possession of no noticeable talents. To Trypticon, they rival Primus in terms of perfection, and they’ll be worshiped as such by him.

As the Decepticon beast is absolutely gigantic, his S/O could actually live in him (as weird as that sounds). Have you seen how big he was in War for Cybertron? The cybertronian titan is practically a giant, secure base/mansion for S/O, considering his alternate form. And honestly? I doubt Trypticon would mind if his S/O wanted to wander around in the halls of the space station he transforms into; there’s a lot of rooms in that behemoth…

Despite his brutality and mass arsenal of destruction, Trypticon is loyal to a fault. He swore his spark to his S/O first before pledging allegiance to Megatron at the beginning of the war; Trypticon values his vows to his sparkmate more than his dedication to the Decepticon cause and Megatron himself. His own relationship will always come before his duty.

No one, not even Megatron himself, will dare speak of his S/O in a spiteful tongue. Trypticon's sparkmate is the center of his universe; a glistering jewel amongst soiled stones and the star that casts a guiding glow through the endless enigma. For one that loves him so, despite how his frame was built for pure devastation and sees past the cover, Trypticon will ensure the only thing that comes out from anyone's mouth is praise for his S/O.

Best not to tempt the wrath of this beastial titan. Even if his S/O is on the opposing side, Trypticon would not hesitate to unleash a torrent of uncontrollable fury upon those that deal a mortal blow upon his sparkmate — he understands the reality of war and that causalities will be had, but that doesn't mean he shall cast aside his emotions for the sake of this conflict.

After his defeat at the hands of the last Prime and conversion into the ship 'Nemesis' by Megatron's command, his S/O will continue to feel the dull pulse of his spark. Should they still be around during the events that transpire on Earth, they'd even be able to feel that jolt of life prosper once more on their sparkmate's end. Trypticon's life may be guided by the draw of Unicron's blood, but, in this brief respite, the titan will be able to once more remember his love's face, and remember all of the memories they had once shared together. Perhaps at the end of this tireless journey, they'll able to reunite together once more without the threat of war looming above their helms.

It's actually devastating how much Sentirachnid has attacked my brain because I thought about TFP Sentirachnid and I might be sick what the freak

“Metroplex heeds the call of the last Prime” is still such a RAW fucking line.

Hello fellow WFC Breaksounder may I please ask for your head-canons of them 🙏

OHHH YOU GOT IT BESTIE- I'm writing a fic right now but I'm in writer's block so this is gonna be fun letsgooo

Gonna keep this fluffy because I'm in a fluffy mood (<- person who just posted an angsty fic)

I wrote a ton of like- story points- so I'm stuffing it under a read more because uhhhh that's long whoops

Headcanons on how they met because I'm a yapperrrr and I've barely had anyone to yap to about them <3

Soundwave and Breakdown first met during the war. It was by chance that Megatron brought both of them on the train-station-thingy mission but he needed a trusted officer and a good soldier who wound't yap (WFC Breakdown is a yapper but he wouldn't dare say anything that would get him on Megatron's bad side.)

Their first encounter stuck with Soundwave. He's not sure why but something irritating about Breakdown made him smile, or whatever equivalent he had.

Megatron, being old friends with Soundwave, could tell that his Intelligence Officer was comfortable and let his old-self peak through. Whether it was concious or subconcious, that's for Primus to decide. Breakdown really enjoyed being brought into this weird friendgroup for like, 6 hours, or something.

Breakdown and Soundwave wouldn't cross paths again until Breakdown and Knock Out were summoned to the Nemesis.

By this point, Breakdown has mostly gotten over his anxiety, being the character we know him as in Prime, which Soundwave found odd. Soundwave never bothered to keep close tabs on Breakdown because what problems would he cause anyways? Not enough to be a threat, that's for sure.

Anyways, they don't say much to eachother, they're just two Decepticons on the same ship.

That is, until Breakdown was taken by M.E.C.H. and dissected.

Soundwave suffered a similar, even more grevious injury, during the height of the war and felt like he had to help the wounded bot. Also Knock Out was out racing because who knew Jasper, Nevada had such great street races!?

So that put Soundwave in the position to patch Breakdown up. Breakdown was scared at first (who wouldn't be when Megatron's right hand bot is staring you down?) but when he figured out what Soundwave was doing, accepted the help.

Soundwave is a smart 'con and like any good doctor, started to observe Breakdown to make sure his body adjusted to the patch job. It's during this that Soundwave began to feel some odd emotions. Not the same irritations but, something else. He couldn't describe it but he wanted to know more about the blue-grey truck.

Breakdown took notice of Soundwave's sudden attention and took this as a sign to start opening up to the silent bot. Breakdown, as always, was a yapper and liked to befriend the Vehicons onboard the Nemesis because all the other officers were less than friendly or Knock Out. Talking to the same guy over and over again can get boring, as much as you like them.

Knock Out became suspicious of Soundwave but quickly deduced what was going on and started to play matchmaker between his friend and the Intelligence Officer.

And normal relationship headcanons because I am obsessed with these two

Their love language is gift-giving and acts of service. Breakdown has an interest in Earth with how different it is from Cybertron and likes to bring back little presents for Soundwave. Soundwave returns the love by grooming Breakdown, as taught by Knock Out lol. You can tell the two just had a date when Breakdown looks extra shiny and/or Soundwave is trying to adapt some Earth tech into the Nemesis' systems.

Soundwave doesn't like to leave the Nemesis because standing on Earth makes him feel cramped and lost so the pair don't often go on dates outside of the ship but when they do, Breakdown tries to find places similar to Cybertron to comfort Soundwave. They've been to a few drive-in theaters, courtesy of Knock Out, of course.

Sometimes Soundwave sends Laserbeak out on missions with Breakdown for "insurance" but in reality, Laserbeak is also in on the pairing-up. Laserbeak also likes to take pictures of Breakdown just for Soundwave along with actively making sure the Decepticons have footage of whatever's going on just incase something happens.

Megatron absolutely can not fathom why Soundwave had suddenly become interested in Breakdown. The warlord suspects that Soundwave misses the gladiatorial arena and is trying to scope out a new rival to re-enact the old days with so Megatron is a little worried he might have infighting among his soldiers. As long as Soundwave is functioning, Megatron won't step in but, y'know. He hopes it's nothing bad.

Starscream is oblivious to the on-goings behind him.

Airachnid also takes notice in the pair's chemistry but says nothing. It's not her place to talk and she wouldn't gain anything if she did besides look like a crazy conspiracy theorist.

Dreadwing sees Breakdown's and Soundwave's closeness but never thinks too deep into it until after Breakdown's death.

The Autobots never find out about Soundwave and Breakdown's courting.

Both Soundwave and Breakdown come to think their love for the other is one-sided until Knock Out has to break the glass between them. He's very blunt and even a little rude about it but he's just so fed up with them dancing around eachother and never with eachother that he just had to burst in. Laserbeak doesn't react well to this and gets embarrassed on Soundwave's behalf. They all sort out their emotions later and things go smoothly.

Breakdown hoped to fix his broken eye after the war ends but goes back on that thought when he realizes that he'd much rather match Soundwave. Maybe he can get a visor like Soundwave's to cover his missing eye!

Soundwave wanted to finally retire after the war but he starts opening himself up to other possibilities after starting a relationship with Breakdown. He'd be fine doing anything as long as it's with his partner and minicon.

When she's bored, Miko will start making up nonsense lore for the Decepticons to get the Autobots' attention. Her favorite is suggesting that Breakdown and Soundwave have a fairytale Shakespearean tragedy K-drama-esque romance going on between them and it really peeves a majority of Team Prime. Hence why it's her favorite nonsense lore. Even Agent Fowler gets heavily confused and concerned for Miko's well-being.

Happy Pride Month! I finally published my TFP BreakSound fic, "Input, Output", so please go check it out!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Summary:

Breakdown returns to the Nemesis, fresh from his run-in with M.E.C.H, and finds comfort in another bot who is more similar to him than he thought.

Soundwave kept tabs on every Decepticon besides a spare few who were unremarkable and unnoteworthy. One of those ‘unimportant’ bots finally catches his eye and he can’t figure out why.

Two Transformers from opposite sides of the track thought they’d never see each other again but the war reunites the pair and creates something for them. Strange, isn’t it?
