Okay! 5+ headcanons/facts about the Extriverse!(oh okay, 5 I’ll limit myself so I don’t throw out a huge long thing haha)
1) Scourge has a great poker face and can hold back his laughter well. He learnt this after dealing with Cyclonus and Galvatron’s stupid bullshit for so long.Cyclonus’s first attempt at growing facial hair was funny though.
2) Supposedly Mirage was meant to have been shot dead by Megatron in the 80’s film. He did in the Extriverse, it just wasn’t fatal.Megatron shot Mirage in the back as he was helping someone stuck under rubble, the blast didn’t kill him but left him effectively paralysed from the waist down.He spent the next couple of years like that as given the damages done by Megatron and then the appearance of Galvatron + the Heralds then to top it off Unicron, the Autobots simply didn’t have the available resources to help and fix Mirage.He can walk again now after things calmed a bit but due to spending so long in disrepair his movements are very stiff.
3) Optimus Prime and Elita-1 are brother and sister.Sorry.“The Search for Alpha Trion” episode both introduced me to this romance and also ruined it. Elita and the other gals were tough badasses but when the guys came in they kinda simmered down to “oh the guys are here to save us!” and their strengths were only shown off in a gimmicky manner to impress the guys (IE only being a crack shot sharpshooter the moment Powerglide is there to fawn over “how cool” it was).I mean yeah it’s a 80’s toon designed to sell toys so I shouldn’t have expected anything grand relationship-wise but it really just made me feel nothing at all for Elita/Optimus then with Alpha Trion being the builder/creator to both of them?
Eh, I just much prefer them as siblings.
4) Galvatron is considered a “honorary Constructicon”.Building and making things is actually pretty therapeutic for him and he’s a dab hand at making weird things out of weird materials. He just sorta ended up starting projects for the Constructicons without them knowing, but then they noticed he was actually dang good at it, it soothed him, he fixed things very well and he actually worked well with them they sorta gave him “membership”.
5) Post-war Ultra Magnus ends up in a poly relationship with 4 others.Yes, pretty much everyone on Cybertron was stunned.
