Hello hellooo! I've been reading your TFP Monster AU so far and it's wonderful.

Tho I'm curious about their design, are the mutations like some sort of their punishment? Like "Knockout being proud of his looks? How about we add spikes to that" or "oh Soundwave is looking too emotionless? Let's fix that" or I'm reading this too deep?

Idk.. either way I can't wait for what's to come next!

Hiii so glad you're asking about my Au! Imma yap a bit so I hope you don't mind

So when I was making the designs, I wasn't really thinking of them as punishments. They were just wacky and freaky designs I wanted them to have.

I've always been a sucker for monsters and creepy stuff, but there's also a scale to the mutations. For example, Knockout isn't insane or hostile like some of the others, and his mutations aren't super extreme, just changed legs and many spikes (for now). This is because he consumed very little of the pink Energon.

Now Megatron had a lot of the pink Energon, so his mutation was more on the extreme end with his tentacles. That goes with Dreadwing and Airachnid, since they also drank a lot.

Now Soundwave's mutation is different and will be covered in later chapters, so I won't really be talking about his much, other then the fact I really liked the idea of him having a face, but it's completely wrong and not normal to Cybertronians at all

There's a whole reason regarding the pink Energon and mutations that'll get explained in future chapters once we reach, what I should say is the climax of it all.

But I love the theory. Hope this answered you and explained a bit more. If you have anything else to ask about this specific thing just comment :)

And for others reading I'd love if you drop your ideas and questions either below in the comments or in my ask box.

Thank you for asking!

New fic!!

(Not the trivia fic because I ran out of ideas for questions and need to come back to it later lmao)

It's another "Rodimus suffers but then will get the help he deserves and realize how much he is loved!"

This time with some mystery and dramatic flare I hope!

Give it a read if you have the time, only one chapter for now but I'll be working on it for a bit 💜💜💜

Thundercracker in that last chapter! He’s seeming to care more about Moonstream and Cirrus than Starscream’s orders.

Heheheheheh

Thundercracker very much so cares about the other seekers over everything. He cares a LOT about his trine, and wants the best for all of them. For a long time, the best seemed like the Decepticons. It looked like they might actually win, and be able to do whatever they wanted. Then he got involved with Cirrus’s escape and got to watch first hand how Megatron went off the rails (and how much he’s been enabled by the rest of the Decepticons). He really did think he was doing his part to get the best for the other seekers.

Now? Now he’s not so sure

Sentient AI small fic written for Miroah fans

Noah is by no means a ‘productive member of society’ as the government would say … He spent most of his days in his garage working on cars. He wasn’t exactly a mechanic, more like a tech. He worked on cars' inner computer systems, safety features, overall functions and such. He lived with his mother and little brother, Kris who adored him despite his past mistakes. 

It was another mistake he made with his friend that got him into this situation. His old buddy offered him a part in a dangerous but money making gig. His only job was to go into the dealership, break into the car and steal its stereo. Except when he got in, the car doors locked themselves and wouldn’t let Noah out. He panicked and started to slam his body against the door in a desperate attempt to get out. He couldn’t go to jail, especially not over some dumb gig. He was doing so well in life finally. The car then started itself and took off down the parking garage, out the exit and onto what looked to be an abandoned highway.

“What the hell is wrong with this car?!”

He slammed his foot against the brakes but it did nothing at all. The vehicle eventually stopped in front of an.. abandoned factory? What was going on? 

Noah was then surrounded by men in black carrying huge guns. He put his hands up from inside the car, yet now his car door opened. Before he could say he didn’t do anything, the men were already yanking him out of the car and pushing him towards an entrance of the building. He looked behind him and noticed the car door closing and the Porsche driving away without anyone in it. 

“W-Wait guys I can explain, why is the car driving all by itself?!-”

The men grunted and pushed him into a brightly lit room. The place looked nothing like on the outside, it looked like some expensive laboratory. Noah’s attention was caught as a woman from a catwalk spoke down to him. 

“Noah Diaz. 25 years old and an ex military engineer. Lives in Brooklyn with Breanna, his mother.”

“Who are you- how the hell do you know all that?!”

She stared down at him and closed the file she held. She walked over and began going down the spiral stairs. 

“My name is Dr. Sandra, I’m a scientist here. You are someone we’ve had our eye on for a while.”

“What? Is this because of my past? They said that’d never be a problem for me again, where is the colonel-”

“Noah, you are not here because of that. Although that part is very important to us. You are here because you attempted to steal a very special car. A car that is government property technically.”

Noah sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. He knew none of that would’ve been worth it but the sound of giving his family more money sounded too good. He went to speak-

“-But that is not what we're focused on. You have experience and skills, ones we could use here at NEST.”

“Wait- NEST? I thought you said this was all government..”

“It is, it’s just not made public to our society or press.”

“And… why is that?”

“Well…”

She gestured for him to walk with her. She took him deeper into a warehouse looking environment. Inside of it were beautiful cars and variations of trucks lined up. The first one on his side of the row being the Porsche he tried to jack. Noah was still very confused.

“Here at NEST we’re specializing in creating the best cars possible. Ones with abilities that no ordinary car can do. Vehicles that are completely controlled by AI.”

“Seriously? This is just a cover up to make experimental cars? Sorry but I was an engineer not a programmer or whateve-” 

“Your skills are useful to us here anyways. All we need you to do is work on putting final models together and parts into the car's basic system. Unfortunately, here is the hard part. If you do not do this, we will turn you into the police for breaking and entering, gta, the whole nine yards.”

“Right.. That's the catch. Nice going.”

Noah groaned and looked around the ‘dealership’. This wasn't his cup of tea at all, but he knew how upset his family would be if he went to jail or even prison. He wouldn't be surprised if these guys were that extreme. Everything about this was extreme and sketchy. A secret government program exclusively for making smart cars? Seemed like a load of bull.

“Fine, I’ll do my part in this.”

Sandra smiled and nodded confidently.

“Good. Here is some basic information so you know what you're working with. You are free to go home but be aware, if you try to tell anybody about this or sabotage what we're doing, you will be sent to the highest security prison on this earth.”

She handed a one inch thick folder and walked away from him, leaving him speechless. He was escorted outside but realized.. He had no way home. He was about to start walking but that same stupid gray car pulled up right next to him. He felt his eye twitch as he stared at it. The passenger door popped open, swinging for him to get in. He exhaled. Why was this night going by so fast and crazy? Despite his better knowledge, he got into the car assuming maybe those scientists were using him as a guinea pig. The Porsche took him back home, the entire ride uncomfortable and silent. When it shifted into park, it opened the door for him and flashed its lights.

“..Thanks uh.. I guess.”

He got out and went to his front porch. Before he opened his front door he looked behind him one last time at the vehicle. It was like it was watching him. After a second it finally pulled away and he felt some relief. Did this mean this was another gig he got roped into?

sorry if my writing isn't the best, this is my first fic i've written as a rper. if you want more please like, comment, anything to lmk ❤

Hello! I am in need of some characterization knowledge that is broadly in line with how you wrote DALDOM, because I'm not that good at cartoonishly silly, and also I learned Transformers through fandoms.

The goal of my fic is a bit of a 'everyone sucks' scenario.

Where Prowl has a processor/coding/datastream maintenance he needs to do regularly (because he has a Tac-Net grafted into his not-brain) or it causes him to manifest, then aggravate several personality flaws.

Prowl hasn't DONE the maintenance task in 2 million years when he's supposed to do it every 8 years. (the maintenance is time consuming, indivisible -it basically resets to the previous default if interrupted- and getting more and more unwieldy to fit into a schedule as time passes without him doing it)

So he is irritated with everyone, short of temper, and probably prone to seeing everyone as an amalgam of their worst traits.

Shifting from cartoon-like personalities to more nuanced ones later on when he isn't so angry at everything is kind of up in the air...

(Well. I'm not that good at cartoonish representation, so I think it will slide toward realism on it's own. But a solid grounding on how to portray everyone in a silly way to start with would help get the vibe I'm aiming for.)

(But if I don't dip toward cartoony, the whole thing will swerve right toward 'grimmdark' and I don't want that.)

Uhm.

So the characters I would need tips for would be:

Optimus (I kinda pre-set him with idealist but horrible at strategy because he values morals so much)

Jazz (I have NOT ruled Jazzprowl out, but right now, Prowl kinda hates everyone -maybe he hates Jazz a bit less- so it's a 'later' thing)

Smokescreen

... Like, whoever in the Ark ensemble cast you feel like including, really

Got fun headcanons about Decepticons?

Ohhh man this one is a toughy. (OP actually has the first chap out if anyone is intrigued: Less Isn't More (That's a Logical Fallacy), Jazzprowl people might remember them from the barbarian AU a few months back (I freaking love those AUs, I'm had one brewing in the back of my head forever too)

Cartoony kind of comes to me for the sole reason that I have NO patience right now for writing slow pay offs XD Any time I hit a part that I'm like "ohh no we've reached the slog. I was DREADING this boring filler part-" I then think "I mean, does the Jazz of my AU have the patience for this either?" He is more or less on a dream walking VACATION, he will not settle with having anything BUT the absolute time of his life. He's got his wheelies on and he's desperate to escape his feelies. This man is in a mental state at the moment where standing still and not having suitable distraction is worse than DEATH. If I find this boring and unbearable to wade through- so does he. And then he promptly wanders off, changes the topic, dissasociates or acts visibly bored and beligerent whenever I get bored with a scene. Or something cartoonishly wacky happens in the background and he is back to being Andy from parks and rec making the delighted "OOOOOO" face to the camera. I think you have more patience then me though XD Because you've got "math as a plot point" in you tags and I couldnt even make myself write 4 BS sci-fi Mcguffin lines about Wheeljack's invention and instead just had Jazz be like "yeah, no, I tuned that out immediately- anyway, let's think about the recently aquired design specs of Prowl's Spike instead."

I guess with the premise you have here- I'm picturing the cartoon filter as a type of delusion. It's prowl recapping everything people are doing and saying with the most :

tone ever.

It was what I pictured in Prowl's dream with the assorted Autobots- The way they talked and acted was the equivalent of Prowl taking on that exasperated mocking tone with them when providing what they'd say or do. Add as much snark and bias into the narration as you can XD

Maybe cartoonishly stilted 2D dialouge like "I'm a complete tool so I'm going to go ahead and side with Optimus Prime on this, even though I'm too stupid to understand what we're talking about" as long as it's followed up with "Ironhide said... or at least, he said somthing to that effect. Prowl had already diverted his primary processing to more pressing matters before he opened his intake."

Optimus is easy enough- you just write him with the dialouge of an old timey self rightous morally black and white superhero XD Jazz might be "literally incapable of taking anything seriously" but with hints of "he could be and can be competent if and when he applies himself" Maybe Jazz always at least understands where Prowl is coming from so sometimes he's helpful in furthering Prowl's agendas and other times he can't be bothered. He's the wildcard/chesire cat of the high command board room. Prowl's only sometimes ally- but mercurial and hard to read, it's a coin flip on whether he'll get involved in any given matter or just lean back and let the scene play out. Sometimes Prowl appreciates him, sometimes he REALLY doesn't.

Smokescreen is the number one character in fanfic for being "just whatever the heck you need him to be" lol. I have no set personilty for him beyond "gambling". Maybe Prowl doesn't either at the start idk

For goofy cons, I strongly rec just about ANY spoon888 fic. "The doctor is in" is brilliant
