Precious baby, and who’s the lucky Carrier?
That baby was in the allspark asking Primus :
‘Hey, what kind of carrier will I have ?’
‘ The devil’
‘What’s a devil-?’
And poof Sentinel is pregnant, not by choice btw. Thats what that bitch gets for killing the primes.
In this AU, Sentinel did get the matrix. BUT. it disspeared….. it went in his forge and he was pregnant w Orion. It’s divine punishment. He had to carry the baby in order for the energon to flow.
He would definitely be a shitty parental figure, but he’d come around the sparkling. Since it’s his in all senses. This Orion will be more like sentinel in character, pretty spoiled.
I wanted Sentinel to go through a character arc. While he’d be a decent parent, spoiling his child, one thing he could not give Orion is the truth about the primes. That idea causes a fear to grow in him, the fear that he’ll have to kill his own sparkling in case he finds out the truth.
Primus would grant him nightmares of where he kills his son first-servo.
When push comes to shove, Sentinel locks Orion in his room and hesitates to murder. He plans for shadowplay, however Orion escapes, and to hide - he throws away his cog. This is when energon stops flowing. ( mining is still a thing bc quints suck and want more )
Even if sentinel went through with the shadowplay, he’d never forgive himself internally. He’s a mother.
Best case scenario Orion would be locked away, Rapunzel style.
