Air commander! Leader of the seeker! And second in command of the decepticons! By far he is the most talented flyer of all the cons. All these decorations sure bumps up his ego, which cause him to go barking up the wrong tree. Heās got a scar on his face to remind him of each failed attempt at dominance.
Decorate that.
In the beginning he knew Megatron and they looked out for each other. Megatron trusted him and viewed him as a friend. But when Starscream had his lil seeklet something clicked in his brain. Starscream began scheming for more power. He started holding his family closest to him and pushing away the rest. He wanted the best for them and was tired of seeing them pushed into battle like common soldiers, they are not common to him. He couldnāt imagine Slipstream being hurt.
One day on the battlefield, Megatron was trapped in a crashing ship. Megatron desperately called out for his friend. Starscream looked him in the eyes and left him. As second in command he would be air to the the throne, he enjoyed it for a while thinking Megatron was dead and his family being the ones to boss everyone around. Knowing that his bitlit wouldnāt have to face battle like a commoner but instead like a commander.
Until of course Megatron came back. Starscream was challenged. He fought and lost badly. Megatron was highly emotional and almost killed him. Slipstream was deeply traumatized by seeing this. Sheās scared of him.
Starscream is still second in command. Itās hard to tell what Megatron is thinking.
NOVASTORM
I wanted to make her a girl cause why not. Sheās an ass, but what seekers isnāt??
Sheās gorgeous and she knows it. Sheās constantly flashing her stuff. (Honestly a big ego and being a narcissist is standard seeker behavior.) she has a crush on Thundercracker and has been trying to court him for years. (To her courting is being annoying and mean and accusing him of being a perv.)
Sheās constantly picking fights with the rest of the seekers. But sheās nice to Slipstream. (Sheās like the the sassy auntie.)
THUNDERCRACKER
He stoic and doesnāt talk to much, he the strongest out of the seeker. Heās also the biggest. He pretty much lets the rest of the seekers walk all over him. However heāll sometimes put his foot down with Starscream and Skywarp (mostly skywarp.) he reminds them that he could crush their heads with his bare hands.
However he loves the two girls. He recognizes Novastorm is flirting with him. He mostly is just dead pan only because she makes him nervous. She gets away with everything.
Slipstream he sometimes pretends sheās his own. He gets her gifts and when she was very little he actually broke his silent streak and begged starscream to hold her. Slipstream could yell at him to move and heāll do it fast. He lets her get away with too much.
SLIPSTREAM
The youngest, the smallest, and has the most to prove. She exudes teenage angst. Most soldiers are surprised she screams at the second command the way she does.
She is Starscreamās daughter. Even tho she can be a mean, hurtful little shit, she loves her dad. She hates seeing him hurt. Tho sheās not super affectionate (Starscream isnāt either.) he knows she loves him. And the rest of the seekers (not skywarp). They are her family. The rest of the seekers feel the same way (still not skywarp.) theyāve known her since she was small and looked after her when Starscream couldnāt.
SKYWARP
The seekers resident psycho. Skywarp has a very special power that makes him crazy! Iām sure we all know what it is. He doesnāt care about anyone. Surprisingly a goof tho, doesnāt help his scary appearance.
He has an artifact in his helm that lets him warp. Heās a killer and likes to hunt. He intentionally antagonizes his fellow soldiers. And he will make anyone suffer when they are weakest. He see Slipstream as the weakest.
Hi, this is for an ask game. List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged or liked something from you. Only if you want to :)
You have no idea how many times I had to read this out loud to get it.
Iāll list the five things but Idk about putting that in other peoples ask box. Iām too shy for that.
Damn you gave optimus problems and I love it not a lot of media represent him the way you do
He not perfect. No one is.
Especially not Optimus. ( I think no Optimus should be.)
I think all characters need a good amount of needing to be messed up and beaten severely throughout their journeyļæ¼. Helps them make an even greater comeback.
The more someone needs fixing the better. And may be even learn to love themselves with the faults that donāt need fixing.
And on that note hereās one more big problem Optimus has!
Really been appreciating all the asks. If you canāt tell, I like to talk. Pretty much made art for all the asks but I didnāt want to wait to post them.
how did the bots who knew optimus before react to his new status as a prime and leader of the autobots? what was their feelings to that sudden change
I started drawing Orion because of this ask and it made me sad.
Now, when I said he ghosted everyone he knew when he became a prime it doesnāt do him justice. It was more like he died or was kidnapped. One day he was there the next he was not.
Itās hard to feel happy and congratulate when the only question you want to ask is, what happened?
The three that knew him as Orion pax was Ironhide, Elita and Ratchet. Elita being the one that was closest to him. Elita didnāt get the chance to meet ironhide and Ratchet, so she was out of the loop.
When Ironhide and Ratchet saw him again they were introduced to him as the new prime. Not really knowing it was Orion, when Optimus told them (separately) that it was him. All they could be was shocked. Itās was such a drastic of a change and it happened so fast too. It was difficult to view him as the same person, to view him as their close friend.
Ironhide for a while didnāt look him in the eyes for a while. That changed with Chromia treating Op as more of an equal (she treats everyone like their in her way.) it didnāt take long for ironhide to start viewing him as his friend again, looking past all the modifications he can only see an older Orion now. But still there is a sliver of uncertainty about Optimus, like thereās is something he needs to say to him but he canāt figure out what. Iām sorry? Itāll be ok? Are you ok?? Who knows, but Ironhide wishes he knew how to say these things or even what to say.
Something bad happened and something has changed with Optimus. He doesnāt know if he can ever look at him the same.
Ratchet look shocked, sputtering but ultimately he was able to regain his wits and actually congratulate him. But Ratchet has never treated Optimus the same. Ratchet will make sure Optimus is taken care of, always reminding Optimus of the rules and adequateļæ¼ of being a prime. He also tries to remind (yell) at the rest of the team that Optimus needs to be treated with respect.
Ratchet is the only one Optimus feels comfortable being some what venerable around, but not completely. Optimus wants nothing more than to talk to him but Ratchet will run from these conversations, not wanting to face the reality, fearing if he faces it everything he was ever believed will crumble before him. Optimus needs Ratchet as his friend more than ever now.
The most reassurance Ratchet has told Optimus was. āNo matter what happens I will always be here for you.ā
Corruption. That is all Elita saw. She said the quiet part out loud, what the hell happened?! She was angry with him but ultimately more worried and tried to comfort him even tho it happened a long time ago. He insists heās fine but she knows better. They had stripped everything that made Orion. Trying hammer out what they saw as weaknesses or impurities then presenting the drastic changes as gifts.
She was upset that he left her without a word but I think she understood that he didnāt leave, he was taken. Orion was taken from her, from everyone. Thatās mostly why she is giving their relationship a second chance. Cause despite everything so far she can still recognize itās him.
She plans to support him the best she can but ultimately itās hard to trust Optimus fulling again.
how small is Chromia? And most importantly can she fit in super small spaces š¤
She is the smallest autobot on the team! Pretty easy for her to ride on shoulders of the bigger bots (op and ironhide.) but sheās pretty heavy, like sheās probably the 4th heaviest on the team.
Yea she can fit into small spaces that are her size but not like narrow or else sheāll get stuck, flexible isnāt really her strong suit. Chromia actually doesnāt like small spaces all that much. Sheās like a steel ball.
Iāll have to come up with a size chart later lol.
so how did all the couples from your au meet? Was it before or after the war had started?
OOOH YAY!! Be sure that Iāll probably be making some comics/ art based on these scenarios. But it the mean time I hope you like reading.
Oplita (before the war)
So Optimus and Elita met when he was Orion pax. She was from Caminis and was on cybertron for an extended stay. He is the adopted son of a higher up (alpha Tyrion.) it wasnāt long before the two were a couple and Ariel (at the time) made arrangements do to stay on cybertron. Though Orion wasnāt opposed to going to Caminus. But then Orion became a prime. In a short time he was forced to see and do things he didnāt want to. He was both forced and convinced that ghosting her was the best option. āYou are a prime now and canāt associate your self with blahhdy blah blah.ā
After that he refused to be with anyone else. Despite the senate trying to push it on to him. Twice.
During the war, Optimus met Elita again! He was very excited to rekindle their relationship, Elita however realizing this was Orion pax was pissed. Lucky tho, Elita is forgiving and still deeply loving. Tho she isnāt as talkative to him as she once was. And doesnāt trust him all the way. Optimus tho he doesnāt show it. He clings to her.
Wheeljack and scavenger (during the war)
Scavenger soon joining the autobots was understandably an outcast. He disliked just about everyone equally as much as everyone disliked him. He was assigned to work with Wheeljack in the lab. He kept to him self and mostly only talked to Wheeljack when he had too. Jacky however found him very attractive. Heād frequently give compliments or just stare at him. To Scavenger this turned from weird to annoying. He yell, snap and insult until he excepted this was his life now and it could be way worse. He didnāt humor Wheeljack at all but you have to get some social interaction somehow.
However one day Scavenger started feeling increasingly ill. He knew exactly what was happening to him. (Decepticons are forced to consume something called nuke very frequently to maintain a higher level of strength. Nuke is mixed in with all the energon decepticons consume. Itās a highly addictive substance, since Scavenger was once apart of devastator he had a higher dosage. But that also leads to withdrawals.)
It was getting worse before it would get any better. He didnāt trust other bots especially medics, so to him, thugging it our was the only option. On particularly hard day Scavenger was on his last nerve, he felt like he was going to be sick, pain up his spine and his vision was kinda funny. This day Wheeljack was way more annoying than usual. This of course was because Jacky could tell Scavenger was barely holding it together. Scavenger started to lose his temper. He started yelling at Wheeljack to gtfo, he stumble and fell backwards a little, Jacky put a hand on his back. Up until this point Wheeljack or anyone for that matter dared touched him. His instincts took over and he attacked Wheeljack. The whole ordeal lasted 2 seconds at most. Scavenger was shocked at what he had done to the only person who had ever been nice to him. He picked Jacky up who is still processing what just happened and took him to Ratchet. While Ratchet was fixing up Wheeljack and yelling at Scavenger, Wheeljack wasnāt mad at him, he actually forgave him. Scavenger wasnāt expecting to be forgiven, He was touched. Unfortunately the moment was ruined Scavenger throwing up all over the place, also placing him in the med bay.
Scavenger apologizes to him many times while they both stayed there, especially after the whole ordeal left Wheeljack with a nasty scar under his eye. They got closer and before Scavenger knew it heās sharing a hab with him. Heāll deny that they are in a relationship when asked tho.
Ironhide and Chromia (before the war)
Ahhh, oldies being in love. ā„ļø They both knew each other when they were both very young, Like when they were kids. They both were the same size at some point but Ironhide got wayy bigger then her, Chomiaās frame type was meant to get bigger too but she never did. Which made her kinda mad and something he took advantage of to mess with her. Throughout their lives it became more clear when they both stood in the eyes of Cybertronās functionalism society. Ironhide was recruited to be the bodyguard to some high profile individuals while Chromia struggled. Ironhide became increasingly more protective of her, the smothering pissed her off a little and sometimes she really didnāt understand why he would act like that. Because to her she was doing just fine. Chop it up to her being dense too but despite the frequent bullying and threats thrown her way she wasnāt struggling.
But one day a group of construction bots acted on their treats. She was having non of it and put up a pretty good fight. Ultimately tho she lost. Chromia was able to make it back to their hab. When Ironhide found her, he was devastated. When she recovered Ironhide suggested they go to the make shift city call Junkton where they could be safe. Se wasnāt sure at first but ultimately agreed. But theyād never get the chance due to the war breaking out.
Kilomegs (during the war)
Megatron had spent the majority of his early leadership role alone. There were those he trusted like soundwave, Nightbird and a couple others who are loyal to him sure. But no one really close. After a brutal battle he got hurt badly. Normally heād just patch himself up, he was an ex med student after all. But this time he would need actual medical attention, medical care heād probably need to go under for. Megatron knew that it was the perfect opportunity for someone to kill him easy. Especially because their most talented medic Knockout is close with Starscream.
So he hid it to the best of his ability. Until it seemed like it would heal up enough for a medic to fix it without putting him under. Unfortunately tho he went into another battle with none other than Optimus Prime. This was the day Megatron got to find out Optimus can find weak points almost instantlyā¦ the hard wayā¦ Optimus drove a blade into Megatron injury. The Decepticons lost that battle and to them Megatron was showing blatant signs of weakness. A couples of Bots (Starscream.) tried their hand at taking him down after. It didnāt work of course but the relentless attacks could not go on. He decided he had to recover somewhere else.
Megatron said he was going to be over seeing a mining operation for an artifact or whatever. Really this was just an energon mining but they didnāt need to know that. Listen to Soundwave ok byyyeeee. At a first glance you could mistake Megatron as being a heavy weight miner. Just by the color and helmet, and also if you are an idiot. But everyone at the base knew who was and didnāt dare ask questions. Except one.
Megatron had them arranged a spot for him and it was by no means ideal, practically a hole in the wall with a tarp covering it. Megatron didnāt care tho, it was almost nostalgic to him. While heās resting someone just walks right in and makes them self at home.
āDo you mind if I stay in here? I just need a brake for a bit.ā
Megatron was shocked. I mean! Youād think theyād tell people not to come in here. Heās pretty sure he said heād didnāt want to be messed with. But hereās this rando in his space. Megatron didnāt say anything but just stayed in his little corner seething. Telling himself if he felt better heād make this bot regret being alive.
āDid you hear that someone from the decepticon high command was going to be here? I hope itās for nothing serious.ā
Megatron couldnāt believe this boy was trying to make small talk with him. He just wanted to go to sleep. He considered using the little energy he had left to throw this guy out, maybe it would make him sleep faster.
But out of nowhere Kiloton gives megs the cutest most wholesome smile. I mean heās kinda cuteā¦ They got to hefty flirting talking and soon kilo hearing that he was Megatron, he took off. Out of embarrassment? fear? Who knows. Megatron was surprised to see Kiloton visit the next day. Kiloton and him got to actual talking, Megatron liked hearing about his views an aspirations, plans for after the war. Megatron noticed he was much more docile around this mech, letting him get away with much more than he would any other bot. They were both obviously very interested in each other but Megatron was still not completely trusting of him, being very careful not to spill too much about his feelings and most importantly his weakness.
Megatron started to notice he wasnāt getting any better. At this point he didnāt even want to look at the wound. Megs started feeling really bad and ended up passing out. Kiloton came to visit only to find Megatron on the floor not responding to anything. When Megatron woke up he was surprised to find Kiloton sharing energon from his own frame with Megatron. Kilo told him that he had found the wound and it was infected and he did his best to clean it. This was Megatronās point of no return, being able to be venerable without them taking advantage of his weakened state meant more to him than he realized.
Once Megatron was healed up enough with Kilotons help, he felt good enough to return to base. But there was no way he was going to let this mech out of his grasp. They have been in contact until Megatron can make arrangements to bring him in the Nemesis.
There is one more relationship that I havenāt introduced yet. š«£ involves Starscream. Kinda a rare pair. As in Iām pretty sure Iām the only one.
I more or less based My Scavenger off of the Armada one. But I still liked the idea of him being apart of devastator.
But yes, Scavenger was apart of Devastator. After he left to the autobots they replaced him with Gravedigger. Devastator since then has gotten a lot stronger but way dumber due to Scavengers absence.
Scavenger tries not to think about how he felt when he was apart of devastator. But also Scavenger values his independence from them and likes being his own bot without others having a look inside his head.
