[weighing-dish]

Oh..

Hello, you somehow found this blog..

🔞 NO MINORS ALLOWED IN HERE 🔞 THIS PLACE IS STRICTLY 18+ 🔞

I don't know who you are or how you found this blog but this blog is where I put all of my thoughts on transformers. So NO MINORS ALLOWED.

That includes the and NASTY and others.

Most of the time, I post STORY PROMPTS and PLOT BUNNIES.

But the other.. Horny side of me.. This will probably be the content of it.

⚠️ If you don't like any of the words written here, then you should leave ⚠️

• Non-con/Dub-con

• Yandere (that includes Kidnapping, Lima syndrome and Stockholm Syndrome)

• Platonic Yandere (no explanation needed)

• Hypnosis (brainwashing, mind control, etc)

Though to be honest, I rarely ever do NSFW.

I DO NOT do:

• Incest (Just no)

• Gore (makes me puke)

• Scat (ew)

Again, this whole blog is just my side-blog where I put all of my thoughts in the transformers fandom. If you don't like the any of the words written here, then you should leave.

There's more underneath the line if y'all want to see my preference or something

My top favorite is TFA is my favorite Transformers, so I'll probably gush about it more than the others.

2nd is G1, I just love the cookiness and the fanfics I found around it can be very creative with their plots!

3rd is either Prime, or IDW- but my knowledge around IDW is still very little (I only known that Prowl is everyone's favorite Fucktoy to torture and all of the characters in lost light). Prime is probably higher than IDW but I unfortunately regards them in the same way.

Is my taste vanilla? Yes, probably. But I haven't watched the remaining transformers show since I don't have the time.

I will update this post if something happen. So yeah.

Schedule? Depends, really.

And that's the end of the pinned post.

Once again.

If you don't like ANY of the words here, then you should leave.

Does anybody have the fic of a TFA MegOp fic with some dub-con context since the plot is Megatron video calling Ultra Magnus just to show the Magnus how good he's fucking Optimus?

Cause I.. I missed it, and I think it was deleted.

Cause instead of me doing the typical standard 4-8 OC package for a story.

I watched Jojo and realized that I could create different characters from the same universe.

Hi, anon here, unveiling myself because your thoughts on the vehicons and the story you wrote from my prompt are making me crazy I love them SO MUCH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, putting this here now, sorry for the massive word vomit here, I got excited and kept getting ideas I wanted to share, sorry TvT

To start off, I wanted to suggest a little idea for the vehicons sparks being weak! Sparks resemble stars insanely well, and we all know stars will start off small but volatile and grow both in size and calmer as they get older, I'd assume it's the same for sparks. But with the vehicons, their sparks are automatically adult sparks, or supposed to be, so what if their sparks are so weak because they aren't meant to be adult sparks yet? Like supersizing a neutron star to a massive grown star size but keeping it's properties in tact, it likely could but it's gonna suffer and will be incredibly fragile I imagine, so vehicon sparks simply being sparklings sparks forced to be the size of an adult spark, but without the proper energy, making them weaker and easier to defeat makes sense!

This also brings me to defects in vehicons, I've read this fic where one vehicon was made and had a defect that essentially acted as the cybertronian version of seizures and it was SO COOL TO SEE BE HANDLED! Another thing it touched on was a third party making the vehicons originally it seems and making the vehicons with seemingly cheaper material, thus, making it easier to damage them both in and out of battle and I wanted to know what you think about such things, like, a vehicon coming out blind for whatever reason, vehicons being made and one is missing a limb big or small, or even simple changes that happen over the years that result in vehicons that are better at one thing than another and every vehicon being different in some way that makes them unique if you look!

Also wanted to touch on vehicon culture cause your idea for the names are SO GOOOOOOOOD, I love vehicons naming themselves cause they want to be unique outside the faceless army they're made into, it made me think of if vehicons all have a buddy of some kind and they choose names for each other, it makes me wish the decepticons had more comradery among them, cause imagine if Breakdown had lived because a particular duo of vehicons were with him when he went after Arachnid, helped him get free instead of leaving him behind because they care about him, and save him at either the cost of their lives or becoming unable to fight properly ever again

Or Predaking bonding with a particularly young flier vehicon who lost their buddy after losing his brethren, who has always hung around Predaking and actually enjoys being around him, and maybe treated him somewhat childishly when everyone only knew his beast form but still clearly cared and was never happy with Starscream, which also makes me wonder if Predaking, likely having much better senses than the average cybertronian, is able to more or less smell the fact that the vehicons are all horribly young? Cause I feel like he'd struggle with that, especially after his brethren are all killed, and he's just surrounded by what are basically sparklings

How would the autobots feel if they learned this information I wonder? Cause that'd mean at some point they weren't fighting adults, they were fighting(and killing) children stuck in adult bodies! Like, have you Seen how violent some of the vehicon kills are in the show, Bulkhead tears out the insides of a vehicon at one point in front of Miko, that shits horrifying, the only reason it doesn't seem that way is cause they aren't human to begin with, so it doesn't register really as anything horrible

Final thing, I love love love love love love love LOOOOOOOOOVE the story prompt you wrote for my silly request and ask, Soundwave wanting only the best for us but, since he clearly hasn't interacted with literally anyone in any normal way for who knows how long, royally sucks at communicating and connecting with others, he didn't realize at all that we never actually interacted with him properly and the other vehicons were reasonably telling us about how scary he is because you don't know what he'll do At All to you, and suddenly he wants to take us somewhere, take out what is basically our heart and soul, change our entire appearance to something else, and likely didn't even explain that immediately so all we thought was that he was bringing us to Shockwave for Unknown Reasons, and they're the most terrifying mechs to be alone with, of course we're terrified! This could've been solved by Soundwave just talking with us about this, or even connecting with us earlier so we'd be far more eager to accept and become a cassette instead of terrified out of our mind, but he and Laserbeak were too eager for a new family member after so long that they forgot all that and it makes the story so much better, they don't consider our autonomy and we're a mere vehicon, we can't escape no matter how hard we try, damned from the moment he got too attached

It's INCREDIBLE!!!! But I can't help but think about how it would go if vehicons could show more personality, some being more reckless than others and causing more chaos, and a pair of vehicons behaved similar to the terror cassette twins, or even just a vehicon that acted too similar to a mech/femme they cared about that died long ago, your ideas are incredible and I can't stop thinking about all the different platonic yandere scenarios involving both autobots and deceptions around that, them getting attached to a particular vehicon or getting a chance to keep a vehicon hostage(for the autobots) and getting attached that way while they learn more and more about how awful it is to be a vehicon, like, being able to access their memory banks directly because you can just plug into it and some are even required to erase memories just to store more intel and such, leaving them more constantly distant and blank eyed with barely any identity to speak of, let alone relationships and traits, or a vehicon catching one of higher commands attention by simply being so genuinely sweet and kind, showing respect to their higher command in such an eager way and be happy to help whenever, talk with them about whatever, actively asking about their duties and tasks and general role, I am going insane you've set my mind off so hard sorry for the big word vomit here, I got excited

<- Vehicons and platonic yandere!tfp!Soundwave with vehicon reader

For the spark thing, I'd like to believe that Shockwave genuinely has the whole patent of the Vehicon cloning is detailed from top to bottom. Since Shockwave in this one doesn't consider the physical frame one of his greatest achievement, but more so on the spark.

I like to believe that a cold-constructed bot usually has a spark that is considered young by their standard, probs around teenager years. And those bots spends their first vorns on multiple education centers, if not then to a job with a low pay.

That's why Shockwave considers his artificial spark perfect with no mistakes.

The only problem is, is the frame of the sparks, alongside the processor- and of course, the weakening of the sparks.

Yeah, most of the time newer batches tends to have mistakes on their physical frame. Some could have loose bolts on their limbs, weaker material, and yeah- there's probably some vehicons that have trouble seeing.

That mostly came from the fact that the materials are getting scarce, and since newer batches that are made in Earth came from Earth materials that has been repurposed and experimented to mimic Cybertronian metal. It just shows just how vehicons are severely mistreated. But even before they came to Earth, all of their materials that are considered scrap are thrown at the clones so that they could be used.

The same could be said with processors. Seizures could have happened during the process alongside many other problems. But knowing the supervisors, shockwave, and even Megatron, those with problems in their processors are most likely resetted, or worse, build back up again. Thats why all vehicons are mostly built with a functioning processor.

But they do in fact gain injuries later on during battles which would occasionally cause the afformentioned-seizure. But most of the time, their fellow vehicons would try their best to fix their processor as best as they can.

However, that also means that in every batch of newer clones, there's always at least five defects present on it. And most of the time, if the defects can be ignore, their supervisor will just assign them to mining sectors.

Those defects tends to be treated better by the other vehicons, especially if their defect is obvious. Cause they knew that they only need one mistake for them to be placed at the melting pit.

In a way of customizing themselves, whether by name or by appearance. A vehicon tends to only have one choice for voice and frame tbh. It's their name that makes them special, and eventually- they would ended up having their own way of speaking.

That habit was further strengthen during their time at Earth, since Earth has many accents, the vehicons ended up mimicking it. At first, Megatron and Starscream was annoyed by it, simply because they thought the vehicons were accommodating organic culture to their own but they're not. They ended up unconsciously letting it slide, cause it's also the only reason why Megatron could finally distinguish different vehicon supervisors, and he's not willing to ask for their name.

And it eventually became a common thing for a vehicon to completely remove their default voice in favor of a voice they liked, they can do that by modulating their voice box- and yes, they have to do it on their own.

However, I like to think changing their voice became somewhat of a celebration to them. Like what if a vehicon managed to survive at least three or four vorns.

The physical frame is mostly just small accessories that they can hide, but most of the time the vehicons differentiate themselves by scar. Which can be gruesome, but they don't mind, as long as they don't get hurt.

Knockout especially knew which vehicon he's close at due to the scars he personally fixed, and he's also the reason why the vehicons also started hoarding paint shiners and buffers they found during Earth missions. They mostly do that to gain proper fixing and healing from Knockout. But before they got to Earth, they're practically given almost nothing whenever they came to the medbay, especially if the medic is Hook.

Knockout is more lenient, and he's willing to do more than his job required but he unfortunately has to cut the treatment since obviously, there are decepticons that needed the supply more than just fodders. Breakdown was actually the one that personally told one vehicon about the type of paints Knockout like, which is the main reason why Knockout continuesly looked fabulous. He practically has weekly stocks.

And yeah, trading is their only way of getting more services. It only works best with medics though, but they're not complaining. Anything to be alive for another cycle.

One thing for sure is that Breakdown is every vehicon's friend. He personally remembers the name of others, with some mistakes alongside Knockout. But then again, even if a vehicon did try to help them. They wouldn't be given anything else but a cube of energon and a well-done from their supervisor. Their help, even if it save a proper decepticon is practically none existent.

Breakdown will thank the vehicons that helped him, but knowing Airachnid or practically any decepticons in charge. It's only a matter of time before those vehicons offlined. Whether it's by physical force, a mission or even an accident.

That's why Breakdown and Knockout limit their conversation with the vehicons. They know about the personality defect all vehicons shows, and how they became more recognizable as a person if some ever took the time to get to know them. But, again, they're vehicons. So the two just minimize it and hope to not get attached.

(Which unfortunately happens to Soundwave)

In terms of relationship.

Again, Vehicons were made with adult sparks. Therefore, their field to other Cybertronians are adults, not sparklings.

That doesn't mean that the Autobots know.

They know at some area that most vehicons they fought are young, but most of the time. They deduced as 'Clone gets cloned from another clone' situation, and never question it.

BUT- that also doesn't mean they wouldn't change their demeanor when a vehicon genuinely shows they're terrified, or if a vehicon shows traits that no vehicon has.

Will they treat them better? Yes, with skepticism. But better.

The same could be said with Predaking. Predaking is cloned from a parent cell- and they all came out as adults, even his brethrens. So even if he could smell that the physical frame of the vehicon is rather young, what the EM field said is more trustworthy And beliveable. And if the EM field says that vehicon is an adult, then that vehicon is an adult.

It's really a lose-lose situation here tbh.

The only people the vehicons has are each other, and even they're scared to bond with one another knowing that one or two of them will disappear.

...

So let's go to Soundwave:

Yeah, Sounders really didn't understand the vehicon's actual wish in the previous ask.

The thing is, Soundwave is VERY OBSERVANT, so good that he KNOWS just what the other is thinking, literally.

So when he read the vehicon's processor and saw just how many thoughts that vehicon has about life in general and wondering how to experience.

He interpreted it as "Oh, his vehicon wants to be a real mech!"

When in reality, the vehicon was completely content on being just a vehicon.

The thing is, Soundwave is so used on making decision to his cassettes, with his cassettes not arguing against it. Especially since he's the TIC of the nemesis, so obviously- no one's dumb enough to annoy him. What he wants to do is final, and the only one who can defy him is Megatron.

So if he says that you're getting a new frame, you're getting a new frame.

A deleted part of that prompt was supposed to have the vehicon's pov- where they're basically saying exactly what's written from above and tried to explain it to Soundwave.

Which obviously didn't work since the transfer still happen.

And yes, you could say it was because of poor communication, but even if the vehicon said it to Soundwave beforehand.

Soundwave would still follow through his plan cause:

He knows best, laserbeak wants another sibling, and.. Well, he knows best.

Cause to his logic, even if the vehicon is content on being a vehicon, it's only a matter of time until they start to wish for a proper frame. And Soundwave is giving it to them as early as possible so that their apparent wish could come true.

And even though Soundwave is a horrible communicator, he's a comms officer for the reason- and thats because of his primus-given skill of obtaining and withdrawing information.

That being said, although he seldom spoke. He certainly didn't shy away from actions. With how much stuff he's been doing on the Nemesis, it's certainly not a surprise that he would make time just for his vehicon in order to get them to drink their energon, and at best- try to form a connection with him and Laserbeak.

That's not the only thing he's been doing with the vehicon, he gives them resting time, specific schedules to just browse the internet and mindlessly watch humans through their various cameras, and again- talked to them occasionally so that his vehicon would open up.

How did the vehicon react to this? That's up to your interpretation, cause either way- that vehicon will still get transferred.

Even if their actions is perceived as weird by his vehicon, to him it's only a matter of time until they get used to it.

And the vehicon did, the vehicon did in fact get used to the amount of attention they're getting... But in a way, they're weirded out by it.

That's why when Soundwave visited his vehicon just before they got assigned to the mining sector.

Soundwave actually spoke with the vehicon for the first time there.

Asking if that's what the vehicon wants, to mindlessly mine until their eventual offlining.

Yeah the vehicon was confused and scared, but even they knew that the mining sector is a death wish.

So in simple terms, they told Soundwave that they just want their job back.

The vehicon didn't explicitly said that they want to watch humans go on to their day, nor learn more about their culture. Even if that's what they truly want. But they couldn't tell that to their superior! Even if said superior had already read their mind.

They just want their job back, because it's the only way that they'll survive.

His vehicon simply wants to live another cycle, and they thought Soundwave is willing to give them that option. Not knowing the much more horrifying implication of the words that Soundwave is saying.

Cause to a vehicon, that's all there is. Survival.

Yeah the vehicon in the story is naive, shy and even child-like, but it's still lasered into their procesdor that their life is for the decepticon cause and the cause only. One mistake could literally lead to their early offlining. They're naive but not dumb.

And let's say that Soundwave was waiting for the vehicon to say exactly that, to say that they only want to see life through a screen or even experience it. That just gives him the confirmation to transfer their spark as soon as possible. But since the vehicon didn't, Soundwave assumes that the vehicon was still shy to actually say it.

So he still went with his plan, confident that he can just rebuild the relationship from start once again once the vehicon is in proper cassette form. And his determination was further fueled by Laserbeak's genuine excitement over it.

They could be a family once again, and only Soundwave knows about this.

Cause even though the idea of a decepticon high command getting attached to a vehicon is promising.

The chances are nonexistent.

Starscream treats his Armada as servants. Maybe he could a vehicon's designation if they did act nice to him, but his thinking will devolve it into that vehicon either being nice for a benefit, or is told by someone to act nice. And it will take vorns to earn his trust on that.

Knockout and breakdown limits their interaction, and after breakdown's death. Knockout completely shuts off any unnecessary relationship.

Shockwave will use any vehicon that even shows a peculiar trait as an experiment.

And Megatron and Predaking couldn't care less.

Soundwave's the anomaly.

And let's say, hypothetically.

After formatting his vehicon to his cassette.

He became more observant, checking vehicons. Hiring more vehicons to work under him to see if they hold the same spark in their Em fields or optics his new cassette had.

Especially after the new breakthrough of the development of artificial sparks. Shockwave sees it as advancing to a much more proficient regeneration of their race, Soundwave sees it as way to get his family back. And yeah it's unhealthy, but are you willing to argue with the TIC?

Anyone that even shows a trait that pique his interest is immediately put on a pedestal to him. Those lists can include:

A vehicon he found acting like a mother hen to the other vehicons.

A pair of vehicons being reckless and a chaos junkie when it comes to missions.

Or even a vehicon that shows appreciation of art, or creating it.

Heck, he would probably put them under his command to better observe them better.

And those vehicons couldn't care less nor even ask what happened to previous charge.

All they know is that they have a new job and a higher chance of survival in the Nemesis.

Who cares if the vehicons under his command is completely different from one another? All they know is that Soundwave, for some reason, gave them a chance to showcase their potential.

Not knowing the possible ending they would have.

All they have to do is to do their job. Listen to Soundwave's command, accept everything he offers even if it's just energon, try not to get to Laserbeak's bad side.

And most definitely, not to distrurb the sleeping cassette he helds in his servos.

[weighing-dish]

Saw your post on platonic yandere Soundwave and it simply reminded me of a silly vehicon oc I have that's basically his right hand, I also can't remember if I've asked you this or if you've already been asked this buuut, how do you view the vehicons?

Like, in tfp and such, I've seen some headcanons that they're pretending to die in later seasons, a bunch of fics that focus more on vehicons explore them basically being storm troopers and battle droids mixed together with how they're treated, at least in that specific series, and one fic I've read seems to have them all be extremely young, comparable to that of actual children which is interesting to think about sure, but I wanna know what you think about the vehicons, how their mini culture works, if the miner vehicons have t-cogs, whether or not they're even cybertronians or they're drones to you, I'm curious!

Also, it's fun to imagine Soundwave getting attached to a specific vehicon and constantly worrying because of how high vehicon mortality rate is

This is actually the first time someone asked me about my thoughts on Vehicons.

And frankly... This made me think, long and hard.

First of all, I never really care about the Vehicons, and yeah, I too saw them as just fodder, or comedic value at best. BUT, I did read a fic where the vehicons actually hold a role on the fic (since that fic is Starscream-focused, and if you read enough tfp fanfics, then you probably know which one it is)

And I ended up really liking the way those vehicons is written cause unlike the other fics where yeah- they're technically the stormtroopers. The vehicons actually did have a small community and that they all have names. Ironically, Soundwave knows about them but I'm pretty sure he doesn't give a single crap about them and only made sure that he saved enough vehicons so that they wouldn't create more and waste more materials to be honest, lol.

BUT- BUT

Your ask did made me think of the untapped potential those vehicons has.

I knew at some point those vehicons are just cold-construct and they're all practically just clones. But by that logic, all vehicons are technically created as adults since they're just created to be fodder and they practically have no other choice but to serve them with no complaints.

And for so long, I just thought they have no personality and are just quite literally, blank slates.

But what if they just act like that, cause if they showed any amount of uniqueness, something always happened to them.

Get too close with Starscream? He'll use them as scapegoat or his own personal fodder. Plus, he already has his own seeker Armada, and those bots are probably wishing they're under someone else instead.

Be a bit curious about Shockwave's experiments? Next thing they knew, they're used as the next experiments.

And you're practically asking for a death sentence if you chose to speak with Megatron.

Honestly, the most safest option they have is Knockout and Breakdown. But, with the amount of deaths those two experienced with the vehicons, the couple opted to just minimize their interaction with them.

The only mech the vehicons are strictly said to not interact the most, is Soundwave.

With obvious freaking reasons. He's unpredictable. Unlike the other mechs in the Nemesis where they knew exactly what they're gonna do if a vehicons ever step a line with them. They barely know anything about Soundwave. For all they know, every vehicon that crossed his mind will became energon treat for Laserbeak.

So every time a new batch of cold-constructed vehicons are made, they're practically advice to avoid these set of mechs as possible.

But what if, a poor vehicon managed to get Soundwave's attention?

So let's start with the new batches. The most highest role a vehicon can get is a captain, and they're practically supervising every vehicons in the ship. While at the same time, making sure they keep every emotion and traits HIDDEN.

But what if a lone vehicon, disobeys that order in front of the elusive third in command?

Will I making a story prompt of platonic yandere!Tfp!Soundwave x Vehicon!reader?

Yes, yes I will.

But first-

Let's talk about the vehicons.

Buckle up guys, it's a headcanon times.

They're Cold-constructed with one purpose and that's to blindly serve the decepticons. My theory on why all Vehicons look alike is because the original ancestor of the vehicon used to be a very loyal warrior of Megatron. Who did his bidding with no complaints, did every job exceptionally well, and practically worship every stone Megatron steps on.

So basically we have Lugnut situation but with only one problem, that original vehicon is too sacrificial, and a doormat.

So when the time comes and they are on the verge of death, Shockwave comes in and told him that he would love to use body and processor for his next experiment, an experiment that will benefit the Decepticon cause, and of course- that guy agreed.

Cold-constructed clones are created with the artificially-created adult spark being the one that Shockwave is most proud of.

And thus, the first generation of vehicons were created. And since the processor from the original was still fresh, every vehicon has the same trait as them. Which obviously pleases Megatron so much, and the vehicons doesn't even question why they were getting send to death missions over and over again. As long as they pleases Megatron, then they'll practically throw themselves at a bomb.

That's how brainwashed those vehicons are.

But of course, as they kept making new batches, the original sample slowly deteriorate. Which led to Shockwave to use the next generations of vehicons, and if those vehicons also perish, then the next generation will suffice- and you get the point.

Which then leads to the vehicons we see now.

Where the original traits of the first vehicons are GONE.

They're all blank slates and is now an insult to the first generations, which led to supervising and training modules where the vehicons are taught that the ideal traits to have is to:

'Respect the authority, never question Lord Megatron, and do as they command'

Which is just a way for Megatron to at least have some semblance of the first vehicon to the newer batches.

But of course, every generation requires a new parent and it's no surprise to anybot when the Vehicons begin to.. Step out of the line and became their own person.

On more than one occasion, Megatron has to offlined a vehicon for thinking they even have a chance to stand amongst them.

Which then changes the whole view of the vehicons.

Once they were great soldiers, and now they're just servants to whoever Decepticons that ended up being their boss.

Fliers are for Starscream, and unsurprisingly- they have the most highest death rate amongst the vehicons.

Grounders are a mix but the ranking of which decepticons they want to be with is:

Knockout, though he rarely has any vehicons on his medbay and only ever asked for one whenever he needs to retrieve something. And most of the time, no vehicons died under his command.

Breakdown, a genuine great guy that actually treats them right but on more than one occasion, he tends to leave the vehicons which unfortunately sometimes led to death. At least he's apologetic.

Soundwave, he's.. Good. Not great, not bad, but good enough. Just as long as you understand the tasks he's given you and very much make sure that you get to the groundbridge he placed unless you want to be left behind when his timer runs out.

With Shockwave being last. Self-explanatory.

Minings are the vehicons that have been gravely injured on a battle, and if they want to continue to live, then they better make sure they reach quota every cycle.

And that's just the gist of it.

Did you think they only started doing that on Earth? No! Those jobs has been available for every vehicon since day one, only now did they start complaining because they finally have a mind of their own.

But even then, all of them has one goal and that's to survive, no matter the cost.

A vehicons won't even blame you for sacrificing another vehicon so you could live, they understand the situation they have and would do the same if given the chance.

They may have sparks, but they're just fodder, nothing else and nothing more.

Alright, so on to the names!

Canonically, they have numbers as name and from the two examples show in tfp and in the wiki, it starts with XL-(insert number here).

And I like to think that even before they got to Earth, they don't like those names so they started choosing random items to be THEIR name. A way to personalize themselves, you know?

Shine, Buffer, Rock, Jewel, and even Chair, are examples of names they choose.

But when they got to Earth, they found an abundant of names they could use for themselves.

With Steve being the first one to use a human name for himself, and they liked it!

Why do they not choose a proper cybertronian name? Again, they're not seen as Cybertronian, they're seen as mindless soldiers. So for them to choose a proper cybertronian name is laughable. A reminded that Megatron has to offline a Vehicon for even thinking of becoming beyond than their assigned role.

They just have to make sure they don't use those 'fake' names to their superiors unless they'll get question for mingling with the organics.

And eventually, because of them naming themselves, it eventually became a culture of their own.

A culture that only Knockout, Breakdown.. And Soundwave knows.

Just as long it doesn't interfere with their jobs, then Soundwave will not intervene.

And finally, the final part.. Their age.

Yeah, most Vehicons doesn't live long enough to be ten vorns old. Twenty if they're lucky.

Look, Vehicons have artificially created adult sparks, and a premade body. A literal blank slate.

Technically, their artificial sparks were 800-1000 vorns old, cause that's the age of the original vehicon (let's say the equivalent age of that is around 25-30). But timewise, most vehicons are just in their two-digit age, by vorns. They don't even celebrate their creation date.

And that has been the protocol for a million of years now.

Since they're made as adults immediately, the idea of a sparkling vehicon is quite literally an impossible thought.

Heck, some vehicons immediately goes to battle the moment they're constructed and onlined. They're just given a list of codes and datas and they immediately know what to do, even if they offline when they're barely a day old.

Plus, it's been drilled to their mind to be the soldier Megatron expected them to be, and anything that doesn't help that Decepticon cause is useless.

Megatron wants a mindless soldier, not someone who thinks for themselves.

...

So what will happen if Tfp! Soundwave got attached to a peculiar vehicon?

STORY PROMPT OF PLATONIC YANDERE!TFP!SOUNDWAVE CHOOSING A VEHICON AS HIS NEW CASSETTE.

ALRIGHT LETS GO!

As said above, Vehicons are expected to be mindless soldiers. But I also said they have their own community that they tried their best to hide, with only three mechs knowing about it and that includes Soundwave.

But what if a vehicon from a rather newer batch shows peculiar traits. Being too curious, too naive, or even too shy.

Traits that is practically erased from every clone?

What if that vehicon was so enamored to being alive, not caring about the hierarchy from their superiors, and practically spend their cycle wondering how would it feel to be an actual mech?

What if that vehicon wants to experience life as someone who is created by the allspark and not a cheap copy of a mech?

What if that Vehicon ends up in the hands of Soundwave?

We know that Tfp!Soundwave is a no nonsense mech that will do everything for Megatron, and frankly- the closest companion of Megatron.

And his job in the nemesis is practically the reason why the Decepticons stays afloat.

That includes, fixing the systems, reconnecting the servers, hacking military bases, giving red herrings to the Autobots and their allies and of course, scourge the human media for any potiential use.

And that leads to our vehicon, being assigned to Soundwave.

And let's say that Soundwave barely has any vehicons under his command, a meager one or two. Since that guy doesn't even need help, especially since he already has Laserbeak doing half of his work.

And let's just say, that vehicon.. Was too enamored at every concept they found on the internet, and was excited to watch every mech on board during surveillance.

Which surprises Soundwave.

All Vehicons under his commands always complains about him being too scary, quiet and unnerving. But this vehicon is genuinely excited to be under his command, simply because they get to see new stuff.

It's only on Soundwave's command that any one of the vehicons could actually have access to the Earth's internet archive. It's where they got their names after all.

Feeling that vehicon's field around Soundwave, it almost like the vehicon forgot to mask their feelings entirely. Surely they were informed by his ability, right?

But Soundwave thought that naivety and excitement will disappear in a matter of cycles.

It didn't.

Every time that vehicon approaches one of the screen, whether it's to track a base, watch over the cameras, or even scourging the Earth's archive for any information that could be used.

They're excited.. .

Almost like a sparkling would..

But that's impossible, the training module he helped created with Shockwave should have rendered every newly batched vehicons to disdain anything that doesn't help their cause nor their survival.

Sure it may be outdated, but the vehicons before them already knew about their roles and ideal traits they should have.

And from the files he get from this vehicon, it's been alive for 14 vorns. By that point, that trait should have been gone. The recent batch was created just two vorns ago.

And from the looks of it, it seems like this vehicon is bad at combat, but only survived through pure luck.

But that shouldn't be right, all vehicons are equipped with knowledgeable skills for battles.

Hmm.. It might be the time to renew those modules.

But, if they did.. What will happen to this vehicon?

And Soundwave doesn't even know why he's acting like that to someone that is a fodder.

Even Laserbeak began to be suspicious over Soundwave, it's not often that her own carrier started acting like this.

But how can he? When that vehicon's barely hidden EM field always shows excitement over the screens he put out?

It's almost felt like... His cassettes, whenever they get to learn something new..

And that Vehicon.

Piqued Soundwave's curiosity.

Of course, that Vehicon never speaks out of line with him and they never will.

It's the only thing they apparently got right during their training after being constructed.

They'll stay quiet and act like the soldier the're expected, just as long as that vehicon learns everything about life.

But Soundwave has cameras with microphones all over the nemesis that HE ended up learning everything about that vehicon.

Their favorite place to recharge, their companions, their favorite flavor of energon, their designation-

And their fake name.

A name they only use around other vehicons. But even then, this vehicon doesn't seems to even be well liked by the other vehicons in the ship. Especially since they for some reason believed that vehicon to be holding a hidden microphone in them all because they spent their time working under him.

Which is an oddity to Soundwave! All vehicons act like what they're supposed to do, but this one doesn't! And he's quite sure that the feeble community the vehicons created in the ship was supposed to be their only way of companionship.

All because his vehicon.. Is way too curious for its own good.

And for some reason, he felt.. Annoyed at the fact that some vehicons told his vehicon to start acting like them and leave that dream behind. Even telling HIS vehicon that they'll end up dying sooner or later with that mindset.

And he can't help but.. Agree on it, having that mindset will just make their death early but he also can't help but be angry at the thought of his vehicon losing what makes them unique.

The logical side of him wants to agree and finally tell Shockwave about the anomaly that is his vehicon. But the sentimenal side of him wants to.. Wants to keep that vehicon the same way he met them.. He wants to.. He wants to..

"Do you think their sparks can be transferred, boss?"

When those glyphs came out from Laserbeak's bond, he couldn't help but freeze..

No, no.. That's simply.. Illogical. Their sparks are artificial, cold-constructed and therefore, weak enough to be able to transfer..

But..

How long has it been since he encountered a childlike wonder? The Nemesis became so daft for the past vorns, and with only Laserbeak on his side, he began to feel lonely in a way that he felt like he's a drone for the past vorns.

No more tiny voices arguing over who gets to have the last energon treat, no more presence of a cassette purring under his calming field.. And an empty chassis with one lone cassette, with no one to accompany them other than their carrier..

....

And when that dreaded day came, the cycle where his vehicon has to leave the nemesis to fight for the cause. Injuring themself badly to the point that his vehicon has no choice to but to be stationed to the mining sector if they want to even survive in the Nemesis.

They didn't even bother saying goodbye to Soundwave.. Not that he expected it, but..

Surely his vehicon noticed the job he kept assigning to them?

The amount of pointless internet surfing they made them do.

The amount of surveillance cameras they have to keep track, and most of it doesn't even hold anything of value to the Decepticons!

He didn't even made his vehicon wrote reports to him knowing full well that all of the 'research' and 'tracking' they did is nothing but junk and ultimately useless.

They want to experience life behind a screen and so Soundwave gave it to them. For many Earth months, he let this vehicon ignore their job in favor of making them happy.

Surely they notice, right?

But when he met them on the bridge, where their Mining supervisor is supposed to be the one accompanying them. He ignored the curious and fearful glances of the other vehicons in favor of getting his vehicon's attention.

But when his vehicon only gave him a curious glance, with no warmth of recognition nor attachment.

His vehicon even has the audacity to ask.

"Did I did something wrong, Soundwave sir?"

...

That point forward.

He made the decision, he decided to permanently have that vehicon under him. A job at the mining sector only leads to their slow death, with the amount of volatile energon in the planet, and coupled that with the fact that his vehicon barely even know how to defend themselves.

It was the right decision, he confidently thinks.

That way, his vehicon would be safe under his control, that way Laserbeak could have someone to gain their attention, that way his office wouldn't feel so cold and alone..

That way, his vehicon could still see the opportunities this world could offer.. What he could offer.

After all, it's their frame that stops them from experiencing life at its finest, right?

Their feeble vehicon frame that restricts them to their full potential.

Soundwave could easily make one that fits perfectly for them.

Whether it's bipedal like Rumble and Frenzy had.

Or a quadruple form if they want to be cunning

They could even be an avian like Laserbeak is.

See how many options he can give to them?

And with proper consultation from Shockwave, and of course, that mech wouldn't miss an opportunity to finally return to his old and successful projects that are his vehicons clone.

He even began to experiment on the dormant artificial sparks, purely to help Soundwave with his endeavor.

They easily conducted a batch of energon, made specifically to strengthen an artificially made spark.

Strong enough for a transfer.

Surely his vehicon wouldn't mind being transferred to a superior form, right?

Soundwave could easily give them the experience of life they desperately desired!

...

So why does your field tells him you're scared?

He doesn't understand, this is what you wanted, right? To get out from that miserable frame of yours.

He even gave you options!

A sturdy bipedal form like Rumble and Frenzy, a fast quadruple form like Ravage- you could even choose to fly alongside Laserbeak.

And yet it didn't calm you down.

Soundwave doesn't understand, months and months of reading your thoughts showed just much you longed to experience life as a mech, not a cold-constructed fodder. And he's giving you exactly that wish.

...

Is it the color of the frames? He didn't know what you'd like considering how much media you practically engulf during those moments. He could have easily changed if that's what you want.

No, stop. Don't run away, you know that door is locked, you heard it right after your entered.

"Maybe they're confused." Laserbeak chirped in their bond.

Sigh, they could be. His vehicon did in fact haven't interacted with anyone else other than him.

Are you in fact scared of the transfer? Don't worry, Soundwave made sure you drank every energon he prepared for you. So it wouldn't be possible for your spark to disintegrate.

No, your field showed even more fear. That wasn't supposed to scare you. A strong spark meant an easier transfer.

...

Sigh.. Well if you're gonna have to act like that, then he'll just choose the one he thoughts benefits you the most.

Don't worry, he's sure he can return the bond he created with you the moment you became his cassette. In fact, he's confident that this event will make your bond with him even stronger!

He's sure you will thank him for this when you calm down. He made this whole preparation just for you after all.

And he's most certainly sure, Megatron wouldn't mind another helping hand to his closest companion.

You didn't even managed to get another reaction when you felt his datacable grabbed you from the door, your claws just barely scratching the door.

You didn't even managed to plead for your own life when he approached the three empty frames- cassette frames, he created just for you.

But he didn't care about your fear, he only cared about your future with him, as his new cassette.

Now you would be free to move around with your new frame, with no repercussions of your predestined role and frame.

You would be safe and protected under his wing.

...

Don't be scared, you'll thank him when you woke up.

[weighing-dish]

Can we see how the different versions of Optimus interact with each other and talk about Megatron in their own, therapy group, council.

I'm pretty interested in how they'll react to the animated universe considering how their Megop differs from the rest.

Plus, I would like to see how they interact with shatter glass Megatron as well.

Partially, with each version of Optimus trying to hide their attraction to him. Especially, if they want to avoid inciting shattered glass Optimus' wrath.

I like to believe that all Optimus are loyal to their Megatron, but they have to agree that Sg!Megatron is a breath of fresh air.

Most of the time the Optimuses spent their sessions talking about their grievances on becoming a prime, their teams and of course- about their Megatron. Although, theirs are more tame since the Megatrons will immediately spent their first hour talking about their prime. The Optimus tends to keep a scheduled time between talking about their life and Megatron.

Thats why when Tfp!Optimus invited Sg!Megatron to their therapy session, most Optimus are... Concerned.

Tfp!Optimus alongside G1!Optimus tends to dismiss the obvious problems their Megatrons seems to have, so the other OPs just thought that the two immediately got attached to the nice-megatron.

Boy are they surprised when they realize the universe where Megatron comes from.

What do you mean his Optimus is the evil one in their relationship while still holding the matrix?! That just doesn't make sense.

And of course, after hanging out with the Megatron. They ended up really liking his presence to the point that they invited him again for their next session!

And that's where our Op with the luscious lips comes in.

The Optimuses already knows that Tfa!Op doesn't remotely know his own Megatron and they were surprised as well!

But instead of them being jealous, they instead gives him advices.

Tfp!Op: Always be on alert around him, you never know what he's gonna do next and he's certainly not gonna shy away from such horrendous deeds.

Idw!Op: Indeed, though.. You can also give him some sort of chance when you know he's willing to change, but it can be risky. Especially since you don't know him very well.

G1!Op: if you have trouble making him see you as his equal, just surprise him again and again! I know my Megatron always liked a challenge!

Bayverse!Op: no matter what you do. Always stand your ground, he's more scared of you than himself.

Es!Op: how about you try and listen to him? All Megatron has their own reasons to be the way they are! I'm sure he'll take his time for you.

Bayverse!Op: how can you be so sure?

Es!Op: .. I mean, just look at him... Who can say no to that face?

But yeah, let's go back to Sg!Megs.

He really had all of the Optimuses attention on him.

He's so kind, so nurturing, so gentle, smart, humble, amazing, amicable, and most importantly... Soft!

How come their Megatrons never acted like that?!

If Sg!Megs is the only evidence of a Megatron being so capable of having a good side (apart from Es!Megatron but he's so smug about it-), then surely their Megatron can also achieve it, right?

It was Tfa!Op that really got close to Sg!Megs. Surprise, surprise! The academy graduate got close to the professor. And honestly, it was just that.

The other Optimus shy away from their Sg version since they immediately noticed just how uncomfortable he is at talking about him, so they get to know him instead.

And the more they listened, the more they got attached to this Megatron, to the point they asked him to visit them once again!

But instead of Sg!Megatron coming to visit, it was Sg!Optimus... And they uhh.. Immediately understand why that poor bot is jackshit uncomfortable around him.

More to my Rumble and Frenzy thoughts

I don't mind Rumble and Frenzy being portrayed as Soundwave's children, cause in a way, they actually are, and Soundwave is one of the next father/mother in fiction. And I genuinely love any fanfic that has them acting like family, its literally one of my favorite trope. In fact, it's one of the tropes that really got me to this fandom and I remember scurging the whole ao3 for it.

What I don't mind, is people forgetting just how dangerous the two is.

Look- all decepticons have a kill count- Rumble and Frenzy probably has more since they deal a lot of Aoe damage than the other decepticons.

Yes, the guy with PILEDRIVERS that can split up the ground and ruin buildings and the guy that can SCREAM as loud as he can to the point of a processor aneurysm, has a HUGE kill count, despite being small.

You think you can win with a fight with the twins?! No! Those two can literally snap you in half without a care! Really, the only way you can win against them is to trick them into fighting each other.

And I like to believe they're smart in the sense that they practically know every Knicks and crannies in the Nemesis! They're the spies, and the demolishers of the Nemesis! They lack in patience and stealth, but those two definitely has a secure rank in the Decepticons even if Soundwave is out of order at the moment.

And Rumble was Megatron's favorite in G1! I don't know what Rumble did to earn Megatron's respect, but it was definitely enough for him to escort Megatron on some of his missions!

They're also one of Megatron's first members of the Decepticons in IDW! And still became dangerous enough for the Autobots to get wary around them.

Honestly, I'm just hoping that those two will appear as a whole for the next transformers show. Those two are capable as fuck and I feel like they're underused in that aspect.

[weighing-dish]

The human population thinking that Rumble and Frenzy are child soldiers is ultimately hilarious when said race found out that those two are roughly the same age as THE Megatron.

Remember 'All hail Megatron'? Well I do.

Us humans wired our brains to think that everything small is 'baby-sized' and logically thinks it as the child... Or a girl- When in reality, it's not.

But for the humans, it just makes sense to think that the chaos twins of the decepticons are children.

I mean, they are literally acting like this whole battlefield is just a playground for them, the humans kept hearing the twins fight and argue over something, and of course, they always return to their 'boss' per command.

So it probably wouldn't be a surprise for the decepticons hating humans to put those child soldiers into their arguments and propaganda against the decepticons.

When it finally got to the Autobots via by an interview, Optimus was surprised to hear about 'sparklings' in the battlefield.

Optimus: Children, you meant sparklings?

"yes! We were hoping to hear what's your insight about it!"

Optimus: I believe I don't follow?

"Rumble and Frenzy? The terror twins from the decepticons! It's just, it's inhumane for that group to even use your own children against you!"

Optimus:

Optimus: Oh! What a misunderstanding! Rumble and Frenzy are older than me.

The conference room suddenly went silence.

Optimus: In fact, I'm quite sure they're as old as Megatron.

Immediately, unnecessary noises filled the conference. Humans trying to process this information, and trying to put logic to it by using their own human brain on these.. Alien robots.

"But they act like children?!"

Optimus: those two have been inseparable since their creation, and they have to find a way to release all of that pent up violence.

"I don't understand- how are they're adults?!"

Optimus: They age like we do, but those two have been alive even before Megatron became a gladiator, I'm pretty sure those two were his sidekicks during his fights.

"But they're small?!"

Optimus: Bumblebee and Cliffjumper are the same model but Cliffjumper is arguably much older. In fact, I'm pretty sure Cliffjumper is nearing Arcee's age at this point.

"But- but Megatron keep bringing the blue one with him?!"

Optimus: Rumble is certainly a violence cassette, but he's much tamer than Frenzy. But that doesn't mean you're allowed to look down upon him. He is still a dangerous decepticon.

Finally, one reporter raised his hand.

"If they're adults, then how come they still follow Soundwave?"

Optimus stared at the reporter before answering.

Optimus: You humans seems to reject the idea of them being old? There is nothing wrong with assuming their age, but do remember that we don't follow your human nature.

Optimus: Just because Rumble and Frenzy is small and rambunctious, they're one of the most dangerous decepticons we have faced. And together with Soundwave, they're almost indestructible.

Although Optimus' words seems to manage to wave over the humans in their minds. There are still some that are still in disbelief.

Of course they will, for almost five years- they believe these.. These soldiers, were young. They got used by Bumblebee's presence being somewhat akin to a young adult that they just rationalize the twins as children. Completely forgetting every event and attacks that has been created by said twins.

It's almost laughable to the Autobots who were watching the whole interview.

Well, except for Blaster.

Who is surprisingly offended about the confession. If they thought that Rumble and Frenzy were young. Then how are they gonna react with his cassettes?! Heck, Rewind is MUCH OLDER than those two!

Well.. After the relevation from the humans and Optimus' soft words intergrating in their minds. (With more gasps coming from the humans when Optimus casually mentioned Soundwave being younger than all of his cassettes-)

The humans go home and went on to their night.

Only for the next attack to happen the next day, with two incredibly pissed off cassettes.

What's worse is that no decepticons are willing to barge in and bring the two back, and that the Autobots are playing rock, paper, scissors to figure out who's going to stop the two.

[weighing-dish]

TFA MegOp cafe au where Megatron is the type of person that orders like.. 34 sugar, 15 caramel pumps, 12 white mocha, 4 hazelnut, two espresso shot, and a touch of skim milk. And Optimus is always the one who prepares it since he's apparently the only that gets it.

It became like a regular thing too, Megs comes in like thrice a week to order that concuction and Optimus is getting tired at giving this giant of a bulky man, this overly sweet poison.

Optimus kept trying to convince the guy to buy something from their regular menu, but Megatron is adamant on that stupid drink.

It's not even a drink at this point, sometimes Megatron orders for two of those.

And to be honest, Optimus would have easily forgive this, if it weren't for the fact that Megatron is genuinely smart. Like, he's the only customer that not only treats the staff well, but he also tips good! Oh and he's smart and- and *ehem* handsome.

But what's the point in all of that, if Megatron keeps getting that Primus-forsaken drink?!

Optimus doesn't even know if the guy drinks it! He always look confused whenever he see the drink he fragging ordered.

Ugh.. No matter, as long as the guy comes back next week then he shouldn't be worried.. He's just making sure Megatron is still alive, so that he could return the piles of datapad he gave Optimus..

----

"Oh for Primus sake- what is this time, Megatron? What did you-"

"..."

"..."

"40 pumps of sugar!? Who in the right mind would order this!?"

"It's the only way I can hog up the line to talk to him, Strika!"

"Oh! So you can't just ask the bartista for his comm number? Your indecisiveness made you ordered two of this monstrosity!"

"I tried, Strika! I really tried, but he's always busy, and his staff always forced him to do the other orders. I just have to talk to him!"

Yeah, obviously Megatron doesn't drink that horrible concoction he created. I mean, who in their right mind would consume that amount of sugar?

He only did that so tha the could talk to the cute barista.

As much as he wants to ask for his comm link, he knew this point that Optimus in just doing this for some extra shanix, and thar Optimus' main goal as of the moment is to graduate with no failing courses.

And even if he did successfully asked for his comm. The academy will soon find out about the.. Relationship and will promptly put a stop to it.

He didn't even want to go inside the safe. He was just roaming around the streets of Cybertron with his own disguise when he saw Optimus by the cafe's window, reading his momento.

He couldn't help but get inside to specifically ask for his opinion on it... Which led to his current predicament.

Not only did he get his comm link, but he also have to figure out a way to make this toxin he created on a whim edible...

He's pretty sure the whole decepticons have been getting excitable and trigger-happy ever since they landed on this are.. Which is probably Megatron's fault. How would he know that splitting each drink a cube will still cost his soldiers to went haywire?

Well no matter, there's always the next day.

He can ask for his comm link eventually.

...

He just need to uhh.. Make this drinks edible.. He can't throw it away, Optimus made it!

And it's 40 worth of shanix too so.. Hmm..

ANOTHER Plot bunny of Platonic Yandere!Decepticons story prompt.

Where YOU are part of a space crew to find a new suitable planet to live with.. But, unfortunately- your crew ended up being on the short end on a stick after an accident.. Oh, and there's a menacing looking purple spaceship following you.

YEP, it's another Humans-are-sparkling fic!

This time with the Decepticons!

Here's the Autobot version, if some of y'all are curious.

Why did I make another one of this?? Idk, honestly I'm working on the 2nd part with the Tfa Megop helping blitzbee to court for the peace contract but yeah..

Uhh..

Same rule as before!

YOU or the READER is already named alongside the other humans (there are fewer human characters here) but I didn't put it here purely for self-insertabilty. But if you read the Autobot version, you'll notice that there's a huge difference between the reader's personality.

And if you're also wondering, the Reader's actual name is Noelle.

Oh, and this piece has more interaction with the humans unlike the Autobot version where it's half-half.

This story once again, follows the 'All-humans-are-sparklings' trope, and this part happens earlier than the ones with the Autobot.

On to the plot bunny!

___

When that 'incident' happened on the space station, that forces quite literally everyone to find their own space ship to escape, and by everyone, you meant EVERYONE, whether they're civilians or scientist.

You're lucky someone is kind enough to push you to their ship when that stupid ass president raided the station together with his minions. You however, are unluckily stuck with only the four of you.

You, the main and only software engineer of the ship.

Maverick, the only pilot of the ship.

Sierra, an assistant medic turned official medic of the ship.

And Lance... A civilian.

You recall how the other two try to encourage him to take classes before the station got taken over but he's too stubborn to get his hands dirty. Claiming that he wants to start training to be a captain, but kept withholding the actual classes.

And now he's practically useless in the whole goddamn ship.

What's even worse.. Or good, depending on who you're asking, is that your group managed to get a decently sized spaceship meant to hold at least eight crew members, which unfortunately and obviously didn't happened since a certain civilian pressed the engine to evevacuate immediately while you and the others are waiting for any potential crew members.

Now there's only four- sorry, three official crew member when it should have more.

Thank you, Lance.

Now before any of you ask, the rest of your already small crew did not in fact, like that. In fact, none of you have even spoken to Lance for months now, even Sierra! Who's cousin is best friends with Lance!

Well, technically all, excluding you, spoke with Lance.

...

Okay, technically.. You all spoke with him.. Before the 2nd incident.

Obviously, with the obvious problem that there isn't enough of you to find a suitable planet. Since your crew doesn't have a biologist, chemist, botanist, geologist- and practically every scientific field that can create a whole planet.

Maverick, who decided to become the de-facto leader, tried to take Lance under his wing by giving him the job of monitoring the route of the ship, and teach him how to pilot so he could help Sierra with the untouched garden.

You would help her as well, if you're not in charge with the entire system of the ship.

Unfortunately, that job was taken away from Lance when he unknowingly pulled the ship into an asteroid field and piloted the ship on his own while Maverick and Sierra were at the mentioned garden.

Did the ship take damage, obviously.

Is the crew angry at him, most definitely were and still are.

After that whole debacle and arguments. You barely spoke with the guy, opting to just stare at the screens than to look at him.

Heck, you didn't even leave the communications and server rooms at all. Only going out to get your food before returning. You haven't even seen the other's faces for a long time now. And the others have only heard your voice for months now.

Maverick, the pacifist he is, tried to be cordial with the guy but he always uses the fact that he's the only pilot of the ship as an excuse to not talk to the guy. Despite the fact that they were close once.

Sierra, the blessing that she is. Berated the man and forced Lance to take on the role as the Ship's repair guy. Purely on the fact that she was still very much angry since she was waiting and calling for her cousin while everyone is practically pushing for survival back at the station, when the guy pressed the button.

Practically speaking, none of you trusted the guy after that whole incident.

Especially when he said.

"I SAW A WEIRD SHIP IN THE DISTANCE"

He shouted at you when you pulled him in the shuttle, especially since you're the only one (apart from Maverick) who knows which buttons to operate the whole entire system.

You however, obviously did not believe him and just rolled your eyes at him through the screen before giving him another list of chores to do.

"No! Seriously! I saw a ship in the distance!" He tried to tell you, craning his head high to look at the security cameras.

"It's big! Like, super big and- and dark! Y/n! Wait, just listen!"

It also didn't help the fact that you started moving your finger to the mute button.

"It doesn't look like any of ours! It's sharp, pointy and very huge-!"

You muted the camera and offlined it.

Honestly, things aren't looking too good with your feeble three-membered crew.

The food you've been eating is.. Less at best, since none of you know how to grow your food, apart from Sierra's limited knowledge of planting. Which, as useless as it seems, became your only saving grace in the crew.

You at least know how to water it daily, and by water it daily, you meant giving the task to Lance and then punishing him by giving him more task whenever he forgets it.

Maverick at least tried to help with the food problem. Although your ship has enough food to feed a whole crew of eight for another ten years. Everyone of you knows just how fast it can go. He at least knows how to ration it together with Sierra, and to help with the potential problem. You tried to eat less of it.

Did it possibly gave you malnutrition? Probably, but anything to keep the ration steady for another day.

Safe to say, or.. Uhh.. Guilty to confess, none of you really spare any thought for Lance. All of you kept him alive, since he's the only repair guy in the ship.

But after that two incidents? Yeah, Lance is pretty much the bottom in the small and tilted heirachy your crew established.

Though with the way Lance begged you to just check the ship's radar did.. Irked you a bit. So you indulge into his paranoia for once.

You didn't see anything in the radar nor in the signal. You double-checked it, triple-checked it, and there's nothing.

With that logic, there's also nothing in the cameras around the outside of your ship. You didn't look at the cameras personally, but.. C'mon, there's nothing on the radar.

It's been nearly four days since Lance told you about the weird ship he saw outside while doing his best to repair the damage he'd done.

Which to you, probably means he saw a weirdly shaped asteroid. Maverick is steering the ship near to an asteroid belt after all.

But everytime you sent him out to fix something, he always looked at the camera and asked you.

"Did you checked it?"

Obviously you did, and there's NOTHING.

Though you didn't say that to his face.. Nor in the speakers. You haven't even spoken to him for a long time now.

But today.. Or night, is different.

This time, he insistently knocked on the ship's shuttle door, begging to be inside.

Which you let in, of course. You may be a petty asshole but you're not a sadist.

You're quite sure Maverick saw his display on his own camera.

This time, however, he's more frantic.

"IT'S HERE-! IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE! THE SHIP FROM BEFORE!"

...

Uh huh..

Sure..

He's most definitely experiencing some sort of space madness.

You sighed and groaned at the half-offlined cameras, holding the blanket tighter around your form. You checked the signal and radar once again.. Yep, nothing.

You leaned back on your sit and grabbed your cup of water, slowly sipping it as you watch Lance hurriedly remove his spacesuit.

You were about to ignore it again, but the way he's.. Uhh.. Running around the halls and- oh gosh, telling Sierra the 'ship' he saw.. Which promptly got him a confused yet unimpressed look from the medic.

"Is it one of ours?" She asked.

"No!" He replied.

"... Great, you're hallucinating"

"I'm not!"

Is what you heard from the speakers.

Ugh, fine.. You supposed you have to check the area once again for this supposed 'alien ship'. It's probably just another massive asteroid.

Unlike popular media that came before the whole catalystic event that destroyed Earth. None of the humans have even seen some sort of alien life outside. Granted, they also haven't seen any habitable planet to live in.

And it's been what? 90 years after that event? Yeah.

You once again checked the radar, signals and even recently the cameras.

You nearly forgot about the cameras.

You only kept certain number of cameras online to preserve the ship's energy. The front cameras, side cameras, but not the back cameras. After all, your little crew has been travelling for a year now and you never even seen something following you.

Except now, apparently.

You started the code to online the miscellaneous cameras to finally see this 'weird ship' your resident repair guy kept talking about and..

You dropped your cup of water..

...

There...

There is an.. Alien ship on the back.. Following you..

...

How.. How did the signal not even see it?!

You slapped yourself on the forehead. Ah, fuck. Right, alien ship- different technology.

Ah fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck-

Which, after a quick check on your cameras outside.. Yeah, it's still there. It actually does look sharp, pointy and very huge.

Holy shit, this is real.

First contact of alien life and it's a huge and menacing.. Purple ship following your crew.

Ah fuck, you realize you owe Lance a huge apology.

"Mauve?" You called Maverick, he never liked being called 'captain', "Did you see it?"

"See what?" He casually asked after a few moments, "The way Lance ran inside? Yeah. Did an asteroid hit him or something?"

Fuck, you forgot he never checked the cameras since that's YOUR job. Guy barely move his eyes away from the FRONT of the ship.

Wordlessly, you sent the camera feed on his monitor.

After a few moments of silence, the ship tilted as the engine suddenly roared, faster than you expected.

A movement you obviously didn't expect and caused you to fall down your seat, letting go the blanket you covered yourself with.

"Move slower!" You shouted over the speaker.

"How can I move slower when that huge thing is following us!?" He shouted over you.

You groaned at the floor as you stood up, holding your seat as support and strapped yourself onto it.

"How long?" He asked you when the ship suddenly made a sharp turn.

"How long what!?" You replied, putting the right codes, making multiple mistakes just so your ship could form a shield.

All the while the alien spaceship silently looked above you.

"How long has it been following us!?" He repeated as the engines roared.

"I don't know!"

You heard him stutter over the speakers, "what do you mean, you don't know?! That's your job!"

"How would I know!?" You also repeated, sending the live camera feed to him once again, the alien ship doesn't even look like it's moving while yours kept trying to escape it.

"It never appeared on any of our signals! And you know damn well that I keep most cameras offline!" By that point, Sierra who recently just threw out Lance out of her medbay noticed the commotion since the cabinets started swaying to ship's movement.

"What's going on? Why are we moving?" She asked over the speakers, specifically, the speakers that allowed everyone to hear what she said.

"Nothing, everything's fine"

"Alien ship following us"

You and Maverick said at the same time.

You barely saw Sierra blinked in confusion while you operated the weapon system. Normally, this job was supposed to be for the co-captain but apparently, you- the software engineer, is also in charge of it.

"What!?" She shouted over the speakers. You aimed the weapons directly at the ship, just for precaution. Though with the size of it, you knew it would barely make a dent.

So far, the ship hasn't made any move nor signs to finally give you the reason to shoot at it. Unless you count that it has been following your crew for a while now.. For.. For four days now.

Shit..

If you haven't ignored Lance's distraught look, there might have been a chance to escape.

Maverick looks so distraught at the whole ordeal right now, he's not even looking at the map he meticulously put together. Sierra, that poor girl doesn't even know what to do, right now she's putting medicines and medkits into a bag. And Lance? Hiding in the repair room.

Even so, the aliens are still following them even when your ship is at maximum speed. Maverick tends to keep the engine at a low speed so that the fuel could last long. Your mission to find a suitable habitat is practically gone since none of you are specialized to even study it, and all of you just cared for survival.

But now, with the amount if turns and shifts Maverick did for it to leave. You're practically watching the fuel reserve slowly trickling down and the engine shouting at the sudden use.

After some time, carefully watching and switching your gaze between cameras. You noticed something wrong, you kept seeing asteroid debris all over the ship. Not big enough for it to be a problem, but plenty enough for it to be a possibility.

After another check from all of the cameras, you realized your ship is heading directly into an asteroid field.

"Maverick!" You shouted, not caring the fact that you used the public speakers, "What the hell are you doing!?"

He didn't answer.

"Are you trying to get us killed!?" You shouted once more, putting another code to the system to override the ship's route. You didn't manage to put it last time this particular scenario happened. Lance practically injured the whole thing trying to pilot it around the asteroids.

Poor Sunshine, a beautiful and a well built space ship, but she got stuck with the worst crew imaginable.

"No! Do NOT put it back on autopilot!" Maverick shouted, finally somewhat regaining some of his senses. "If we go through this belt, then the aliens might leave us!"

"Might? You're risking our lives on a possibility?!" You responded. You already input the code to override the ship into an autopilot through the system, which causes the ship to suddenly stir out to the side.

"It's the best option we got! The asteroids can hide us from them, if I could just avoid any of it!"

...

What kind of logic is that!?!

Ignoring the painted wheeze that came out from your mouth, you checked the radars once again. There is still no signal from any other ship. You checked the cameras once again.. The ever present alien ship.. Seems to be glowing on the bottom.

No.. Wait. The bottom, it's opening- a hatch- it's opening a shuttle hatch.

Fuck.

You were about to send the message on Maverick through his camera, when the ship suddenly turned.

"No!" You heard him shout.

That idiot put it back on manual.

Good thing you have yourself strapped already on your seat, but it still hurts since you felt the sudden turn of the ship through your upper half. Groaning in pain while you still tried to take a hold on the ship's motherboard.

On the camera, you saw Sierra grabbed tightly on her medical bed, and Lance hitting the wall and not moving- no doubt, passed out from the sudden impact.

Warnings field the cameras. Every screen onlined is showing nothing but the debris that can potentially damage the ship. Unfortunately, you were the only one apart from Maverick to know what exactly is going on, and like hell you're gonna let that happen.

Though at this point, you begin to wonder. Is it better to die in the hands of an unknown alien, or die inside an exploding ship?

You'd rather not know which one you prefer right now.

"Shit-!" You once again tried to override the system, this plan of his would only work in fiction. And despite the fact that Maverick had graduated from his piloting class, there still aren't enough experience for him to actively dodge everything in front of him.

Heck, he didn't even have any experience on flying an actual ship unless you count the training ones before you escaped the station.

You completed the code in record time, and was about to enter it once again to the system when suddenly- an asteroid hit the ship, causing your body to lurch out of the seat, if it weren't for the seatbelt- you would have hit your head in the console.

You groaned on pain as you hold your chest, trying to keep your breathing steady and eyes focused. Although, no matter how much you tried to keep it together, you can feel yourself getting dizzy by the second. From the direction, it most definitely hit the front and with the sudden movement, the ship must have hit another one from the side.

Because of that sudden tilt, you heard a crack in your chest, and your breathing tightened.

And by the looks of the red light and flashing warning, together with your blurring eyes? An override couldn't fix any of this.

You stared at the cameras once again. Trying to see the other crew members.

Sierra had most definitely tried to go into to the evacuation pods, potentially leaving all of you if she had succeeded. Though, right now, she's passed out on the hallway, clutching a medkit. Lance didn't even get up from his last position, and from what it looks like, there's a bit of blood oozing out from his side.

And Maverick? Head laying on the console of the ship, his hand slowly falling down to his side. The impact of that asteroid most certainly affected him the most.

The ship is practically moving continuously towards the asteroids, following it's last order from the captain. Hitting every asteroid with no care for the life it stored.

Huh, looks like you're gonna die inside an exploding ship.

Who would have thought, first contact with aliens and this is how you would end up.

You felt your eyes slowly filled with darkness as you struggle to breath.

The last thing you remembered is the ship abruptly stopping with a loud noise, before your eyes went out.

___

THE DECEPTICONS couldn't believe it.

When Soundwave said he found a small ship near the nemesis at one point in their meetings.

The others dismissed it.

But what comes next surprises them.

"Sparkling: present. Location: Found outside ship."

...

"A sparkling?" Starscream drawled, "Really, Soundwave? Do you honestly expect any of us to believe that?"

Soundwave ignored the ridiculous look Starscream is giving him and opted to stare directly at Megatron.

Now Megatron knew that Soundwave never lies to him. But.. He can't help but share Starscream's suspicions.

"Soundwave, there haven't been any sparkling created ever since we lost the allspark" He carefully said to his third-in-command. He knew how defensive Soundwave reacts to.. Younglings.

"What about the combaticons?"

"They're already alive beforehand, Starscream just put them in a new frame"

"Oh."

Megatron didn't need to look to see if its Skywarp- but that's beside the point.

"Are you sure what you saw is certain?" He asked once again, in which Soundwave nodded.

"Sparkling: seen outside ship. Possibly playing. Sparkling: Saw Nemesis and ran back inside. Presumably to safety" He continued. He placed a video feed in the middle of the table.

In the video, they saw what Soundwave thinks is a sparkling. Though unlike what they know of. This sparkling is covered with a weird white cloth all over it's frame and a.. Circular helm?

That.. That can't be right.

"Is it.. Injured? Why does it have that around his helm?" Thundercracker asked beside Skywarp who is leaning closer to the table.

"It's a seeker, right?" Skywarp said with confidence, "I mean, it is flying outside"

"Negative. Sparkling: connected to wire inside the ship. Seeker: possibility low."

Starscream blinked his optics and looked closer, "Can you zoom it, at least?" He said, with Soundwave already doing so.

Even when zoomed, the Decepticons present in the table are even more confused.

"Why is it white? At that age, they should have color, right?"

"More importantly, why is it tied up?"

"Is that- is it playing with fire?! What its doing with the ship?"

"Isn't it just me, or is the ship... Small?"

"I can't believe their caretaker is allowing this!"

"Problem: mentioned."

They all turned to looked at Soundwave, just as the 'sparkling' went inside the ship on the holovid.

"Detected sparklings: four. Caretakers detected: none. Sparklings: possibly abandoned."

...

No..

No, That couldn't possibly right.

"Soundwave.. Are you telling us" Megatron slowly said, his optics staring directly at the holovid.

"That you found a ship.. Of abandoned sparklings in the middle of the galaxy?"

Soundwave nodded, "affirmative"

"Then pray tell, Soundwave" Megatron said, helm lifting up to meet his communications officer's visor, "If that.. Is indeed a sparkling, explain to us how it survived. Cause as far as we know, none of us nor the Autobots have created one for a millenia"

Soundwave looked down on the holovid, silently changing the screen to a different video he managed to took.

In the screen it shows.. Four.. Organic creatures in different screens.

Megatron stared at it in apprehension.

"OH- ew!" One of the construction said.

Megatron resetted his optics, "Soundwave, what is the meaning of this?"

Soundwave looked at the holovid once more. He couldn't explain it as well. What Megatron said was right. Statiscally speaking, no sparklings should have been made but obviously, that fact was a lie.

When in front of them, are organics that have shown spark signals.

"Soundwave: does not know answer."

"Oh, so you just showed us four disgusting creatures-?"

"Spark signals: does NOT lie." Soundwave said, glaring directly at Starscream.

He returned his gaze at his leader, who is staring at the.. Malnourished organic sparklings.

"Sparklings: four detected. Sparklings: Routing towards asteroid belt"

Megatron could feel Soundwave's gaze hardened on him.

"Ship: heavily damaged. No caretakers at sight."

...

Sigh...

The plan was simple.

Follow the sparklings discreetly and take them inside the Nemesis before they could hit the asteroid belt.

Now obviously, the entire decepticons ship has heard about the news.

And obviously, they all want to see what lost sparklings look like, and none of the high commmand are surprised to hear their reaction.

Soundwave is everything that Megatron expect, but he is not a liar.

If Soundwave said those are sparklings, then those.. Oddly looking organic creatures are sparklings.

Though what Soundwave did said irked most of the Decepticons alike.

Where were the caretakers? As far as they know, they just let the sparklings go out the comfort of the ship to play with fire at the hulls.

"You don't think they're actually sparklings, do you?"

Were words that Megatron kept hearing from around the Nemesis.

But the signals, the protocols.. Don't lie.

As of now, their ship has been spotted cycles ago by one of the sparklings. The same one that kept going out to play.

If their theory is true, that their caretakers is practically nonexistent, given just how much that one sparkling kept leaving. Then who is piloting the ship?

It couldn't be another sparkling.. Right?

By the looks of the sparkling they saw, they couldn't be older than a vorn at best.

Still, they continue

What they didn't expect however.. Was for the ship to suddenly stir and move through the asteroid belt.

Causing damage to the ship.. And endangering the sparklings.

Starscream shouted at the sight of the ship "THE SPARKLINGS" He snapped, despite being so skeptical earlier and immediately ordered his trine to get the sparklings in safety without even waiting for Megatron to order him.

It was only moments after until they saw the unconscious sparklings on the Nemesis' medbay.

One is found in the communication room, bleeding over their forehead.

One is found hiding in the storage room, bumps and scratches littering his body.

One is found in the hallway near the escape pod, holding tightly to a medic kit.

And the one operating the ship is found in the cockpit with a bleeding forehead and broken arms..

They don't even look cybertronian, with their organic body but their systems.. Their guardian protocol shouts at them to heal and fix the sparklings- to care for them..

Where were there caretakers?

Megatron was even surprised to see Soundwave who manages to hack the ship's computer system and now holding the sparkling's respective files.. Complete with their full name, age, birthplace, occupation and job..

These were adults? They were considered adults on their home planet? And by the looks of their culture and beliefs, these sparklings were supposed to be placed on a dangerous mission across the galaxy?!

But these are children!

The Decepticons couldn't even believe it, knockout nearly fainted at the sight of the bleeding sparklings to the point that he completely ignored the fact that they are Organics! They are barely the size of their servotip!

And with Soundwave managing to decode their language.. It just got worse.

All Decepticons found the tapes and recordings that hold everything that happened inside their ship.

The sudden evacuation which caused the fights.

The 1st asteroid belt incident that permanently ruined their friendship..

And all of the recordings shared by all four sparklings that just showed how immature all of them are, how they act by emotion rather than logic.. How childish they act despite being in a dangerous situation..

...

Organic or not, these are sparklings..

And Megatron couldn't ignore how his spark ached, and he knew his Decepticons felt the same..

One thing for certain, these sparklings will never be in danger again...

No matter the cost..

[weighing-dish]

Remember the plot bunny where the Autobots find a bunch of humans but their field signature said they're sparklings? Aka the humans-are-sparklings trope?

Well.

There's gonna be a 2nd part of it where the Decepticons find their own human space ship but like- it's actually complete so I'mma probably post it sooner or later.

But yeah, I plan to start my own fic about it and my mind went the other way around and wonder...

What if the humans were already sparklings?

One of the major difference between the Decepticons and Autobots in the fic is how they treat the humans and I was planning to have the humans from the Decepticons are already sparklings from the conversion Shockwave did to them (it's also worth mentioning that this event is most likely a traumatic one) before they even meet the humans from the Autobots.

But like, I also have this another AU of mine, same story-wise but with different settings. The humans BECAME sparklings, or younglings because M.E.C.H found the allspark in Earth and was experimenting on it.

But like, the allspark also sends out signals or something- that causes the sparkling-humans to unconsciously go to their location.

This follows the "a select humans are sparklings" Trope.

The Au consists of like two groups of humans (one for the Autobots and the other for the Decepticons) and they all met in a nearby college where the experimentation is happening.

Anyway, fast-forward to the explosion.

Yeah, long story short- M.E.C.H finds out about the sparkling-humans and kidnapped some of the characters since the allspark energy kept fluctuating whenever it's near them.

After some time, and definitely some violence happening. Since this whole time, M.E.C.H tainted the water supply of the college with energon so that they could figure which humans reacted differently to it, causing the kidnapping to happen.

The allspark reacts, which led to a massive explosion to happen in the base. M.E.C.H manages to leave the area and left the humans behind, thinking they will die and although they were saved by their friends, the entire city and it's neighboring parts, ended up getting affected by the explosion.

An explosion that not only fully converts the Sparkling-humans into full Cybertronians, but also turned the surrounding area into metals, turned the water supply into energon, but also alerted the Autobots as well as the Decepticons on their whereabouts. Oh, and the allspark decided to peace out too and hide again.

What happens to the humans?

They got converted into ages that are similar to a young child to a young teen, and have no choice but to survive in their new environment. So basically, if you're 20 years old, you'll turn 20 vorns old which I'm gonna believe that it's an age for young Cybertronians. The reason for this change is because a toddler will definitely not survive this apocalypse scenario but an adult in a child's body might (low chance but not a zero)

Comes in the Autobots and Decepticons, who at first were treated with hostility, it also doesn't help that they were still at war. But when they found out that there's a huge part in America that is metal and it's actually slowly turning the soil into its Cybertronian equivalent. Risking Earth's nature and life, but giving nourishment for the sparklings in it.

Which led the humans to believe that the Allspark is a virus that is ruining Earth, and M.E.C.H- especially Silas were a bit salty that HE didn't get turned into a robot, which caused him to hunt down the allspark once again, to either use it for experiments, or a bargaining chip- whichever comes first

The Cybertronians found out about the humans-turned-younglings, and they are NOT believing that they were once adults.

So not only do they need to find and care for all of the sparklings, but they also need to find the Allspark while at the same time convince the other group to either let the allspark continue its change (Decepticons) or save Earth from extinction (Autobots).

[weighing-dish]

The fandoms that are trying to drag me back right now are the following:

• Creepypasta (I just searched Toby on TikTok and boom, now I have endless amount of creepypasta in my feed)

• Eddsworld (if you're part of this fandom, you know damn well why)

Don't worry, my sponges- I'll still be in the transformers fandom.

I'm just visiting those places for a while.

[weighing-dish]

Lowkey want to visit my quarantine babies I made back when I was on the visual novel to creepypasta phase (I joined during 2023)

They haven't seen the light for at least two years now.. Huh.
