#he's also from what I've got older than Soundwave | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

Hello again! I've been scrollign through some of your older au's and just- I need more GoD. I want more possible younger/older brother relationship between Smokey & Predaking, even though technically Smokey's older(he's the little brother, he's definitely more immature than Preds). Also, I have to ask: What did happen when Soundwave tried to groundbridge him off the ship?

I wanna see possible Smokey & Preds saving the other Predacons, or if they're not able to, for at least a bonding moment with Smokey comforting Predaking after he's lost his siblings. I wanna see the reactions of the team to the anonymous helper, sending them decepticon info and nothing else. I wanna see their reactions to the supposed ghost, haunting Darkmunt. I wanna see if they blame themselves. Do they think they should've been nicer to him? To the basically kid, who gave up his life to give them the chance to end this war? Who never got the chance of seeing his home planet not plauged by war and destruction? Do they blame themselves for his spark not being able to rest, supposedly stuck here on earth, not let into the allspark and haunting the ones who killed him? Do they blame themselves for his death? Do they?

W E L L >:DDDDD

with Soundwave, this was something inspired from when Smokey yote himself off the Nemesis. Specifically how when he was falling, he ended up turning the Shifter off before he was about to fall through one of the portals only to get knocked aside by Megatron

(does this kinda contradict the S2 finale and how Smokey snuck back in canon? Maybe, but to be fair 1) that part of canon doesn't exist anymore, 2) the Phase Shifter is a little broken and doesn't work the same way anymore and 3) canon broke the logic first so Therefore I'm legally allowed to do the same)

anyways, why Soundwave doesn't talk about it

just. Smokescreen cranked up his Vengeful Ghost Factor to 20. When Soundwave tried ground bridging him off the ship, he simply kept slowly walking toward the mech, straight through the portal as if it didn't exist in the first place. He was relentless in his following, but also very very careful to never be fully in sight. Aside from a few slow following attempts, Smokey just stayed in the walls and floor around him. He'd hide in the floor and grab at his feet, gently brush his hands on his plating when he found him in the halls, would seek our and destroy any and all security cameras he could to make Soundwave just a little bit more blind

Soundwave doesn't mess with Smokescreen very much after that

but on a completely different note, you're absolutely right, Smokey and Predaking have SUCH sibling energy. Smokescreen talks for hours about anything and everything, but Predaking's favorite stories are the ones Smokey read in the Archives. He loves learning about Cybertronian culture, art, history, all those beautiful things which he never had a chance to experience himself. He's also fiercely protective of the smaller bot, and sure said protection is unnecessary on account of the whole He's Already Dead thing (at least to his knowledge), he can't help it

the two also like to go on long flights together. Smokescreen will hitch a ride on Predaking's back and they'll soar through the atmosphere together, nothing but the wind holding them back and gravity bending to their whims. These flights also serve as good secure places for them to talk without any of the Decepticons hearing them since whispering directly into Predaking's ears can get a little tiring for simple conversation

it's actually during one of these flight trips that Smokescreen tells Predaking about the Decepticon's plans to kill the other Predacons, at which he understandably flips his absolute SHIT. He's about ready to go on a fucking rampage and sets a good deal of the sky on fire, and it's only through some very desperate convincing on Smokey's part that the mech doesn't fly back to the Nemesis right that instant and tear them to shreds

so they come up with a plan. Predaking will distract the Autobots and keep them away for long enough so Smokescreen can use the phase shifter to get them all to safety by leading them deeper into the tunnels. Then they'll use the CNA and Synthetic Energon being stored to blow the place sky high so the Decepticons think the Predacons are dead and that they have Predaking's loyalty secured

I'll admit, I'm not too sure where exactly to go from here in terms of that specific plot thread. My best idea right now is Smokescreen hacking the Decepticon Groundbridge controls and stealing energon to keep them all fed which he simply disguises as his usual Ghostly Shenanigans. Predaking definitely affectionately call him their "Preda-prince" but given how close the two of them are it's basically official and he's considered a Predacon in all but frame by all of them

and Y E S with the Autobots. Wheeljack's account of this "ghost" is enough to raise some eyebrows. After all, he isn't a superstitious person, and the fact he's not that skeptical about it..... well, that's a little weird already

and oh boy, wouldn't it be fun if when they tried to take down Darkmount, Smokescreen ended up giving them some help behind the scenes :)

and honestly, the aftermath of that is going to be painful, for both groups. Smokescreen because as much as he desperately wants to reunite with the other Autobots, he can't deny that being behind enemy lines like this could be SUPER useful. He could feed the Autobots information, interfere with the Decepticons plans and technology, lower their morale to make them easier opponents......

it's too tantalising to give up because the Autobots need every advantage they have, especially now, so he decides to pay dead for a little while longer

but of course....... the Autobots are still completely under the impression he's dead. The guilt is all still there, and the fact it seems Smokescreen's spark is lingering in such a wrathful way? That despite everything he's done, the ultimate sacrifice he gave, he's been trapped and tethered to this plane of existence and not allowed the relief of the Allspark

it tears them apart inside :)

RWBY Oc Team

I've been on a rwby fix for the past few weeks for some reason so I took it upon myself to completely remake my OC team from over 4 years ago.

These characters are based on mythical creatures and thematic colors take after the colors that bamboo can be. While not completely accurate, bamboo can have blue-ish, yellow-ish and brown coloring and when they grow flowers, those flowers tend to have a pink color. And just to double down, the school they go to would have green uniforms, to really finish off the bamboo aesthetic.

Briar Begonia (her/she)

Color: Blush

Weapon: "Death Song" a flute/spear/sniper rifle

Semblance: Water transformation (can turn into water similar to Ruby turning into rose petals)

Myth: Kitsune (Japanese fox spirit)

The leader of team BMBU is an Arctic fox Faunus using the weapon of her fallen mother and was raised by her recently dead aunt. No one else knows who her father is, nor how he and her mother died when she was a baby. All anyone knows is that she got a scar on her eyelid from the event. Briar can tend to be spunky and puny but disassociates herself in art and fiction so much that she's starting to confuse it with how social things work in reality. Her fighting style is similar to a ninja/assassin; sneaky and evasive. She's not very good at hand-to-hand combat, so instead she perfected incapacitating her enemies like Ty Lee from atla. While she mainly wants to be a huntress because her mother was, it's also because she wants to find out what happened to both of her parents since they went MIA and whatever mission her mother went on is the only clue she has. She also has a locket with a picture of her mom in it to always remind her of what she's doing this for.

Maize Jonquil (she/her)

Color: Marigold

Weapon: "Angelic Quietus" a jetpack/wings of blades

Semblance: X-ray and thermal vision

Myth: Fallen Angel

From a rich family that's very well known for making and developing some of the best weaponry on Remnant and that family consisting of 2 parents, 2 older brothers and 1 older sister. They have a rare hereditary semblance: phantom wings that allow them to fly for short periods of time. Because Maize has a different semblance, she's kinda been ostracized by the public. This, along with the family business having a long history of harsh Faunus labor, has made it so that she's been trying to separate herself from the family name. While at the same time, basing her weapon on her family's semblance because of how she's been envious about it for most of her life. That and the fact that she does still loves them and her parents themselves are trying to make up for their family's past sins. All this culminating to her personality being that she acts all proud arrogant and even flirty when in reality, she's doing that to make up for her insecurities. Basically the depressed rich white boy trope 😆 I see her as the one on the team that's more troublesome and fucking things up. Back when she was a kid and trying to conform to rich society's standards, she had taken ballet classes. And although she hated them, she now uses those skills in her fighting style. Bonus; because she uses a very large weapon, she may be small but she's much stronger than she looks.

Basil Denim (she/her)

Color: Blue

Weapon: "Cutlass Arbalest" arm blades/bow and arrow

Semblance: Soundwaves (can create concussive blasts at body movement, usually through punching)

Myth: Werewolf

Born and raised in a town outside of the kingdoms, near the water, she's heavily tomboy and a little weird but she takes pride in being both. She's hardcore but is also very emotional and tries to be nice to everyone. But if you're rude to her or her friends, she will not hesitate to return the favor. She's super into music/DJing but because her semblance makes a lot of loud noise, she is really hearing impaired. So the headphones she wears also double as hearing aids. Basil has practically been training since birth to be a fighter, with both of her parents being huntsmen. They never pushed her to be one, but Basil herself wants to help people just like them. Her mother being a brawler and her dad being a bow user, of course both she and her older sister adapted a mix of the two. Unfortunately, her father is now DIA from a Grimm attack, which will later start the plot of her discovering that she has the ability to turn into a Grimm because her dad used to be part of this secret clan of people, called Lycan, who have this ability.

Uluru Mocha (they/them)

Color: Umber

Weapon: "Scorching Scourge" two fire swords/whips

Semblance: Reading and Manipulating emotions (not mind control (a little like Mantis in the MCU))

Myth: Siren

This one will have a little trigger warning***

Having been raised on a fishing boat, their family (consisting of a mother, an uncle and three cousins) were the best in the fishing business because they all consisted of water animal Faunus, Uluru being a shark. That was until the day a boat of human fishermen pulled up and beat them to a pulp for daring to 'fish in their waters and steal their job.' Thus going so far as to dismember Uluru by cutting of their back fin and severely hurting up the rest of the family in similar ways. They all eventually washed up on shore and were found by Basil and her family. Their mom and uncle were crippled and the cousins immediately left for Menagerie without even saying goodbye. Uncle eventually left to follow and find them but Uluru and their mom got help and were housed by Basil's family. So they and Basil have known each other since they were 12. It's because of this event that Uluru is very untrusting of people, often comes across as emotionless, and doesn't flaunt the fact that they are a Faunus. Though because they is a shark Faunus, they is literally cold blooded and needs to wear more clothes to stay warm. Hence why Uluru has a leather jacket and turtle neck, for those of you who understand how sweat inducing that would be otherwise.

This last bit is just a height comparison to give y'all an idea of what they all look like next to eachother

So, what I've gathered as far as ages (most of this is from the tfwiki descriptions on the characters, closest I've ever gotten to reading the aligned novels, and let's be real some of this might be from things that are technically aligned continuity but technically not??)

Megatron's firmly stated by the tfwiki as having been created during the age of wrath. (It's also noted explicitly that he wasn't created with a set name or personality, which tells us a bunch of the others did) Also, fun fact, the altmode we see in the show isn't really a Cybertronian jet but a shuttle built for space travel. I will proceed to use Megatron as our reference because there's more ambiguity with other characters and also he's my more favorite

The tfwiki having a sentence that Could imply Orion was born before the age of Wrath but he could not have been as well (gonna entirely not mention the Optimus to Orion to Optimus reincarnation thing right now) with him having spent an indeterminate amount of time in the while.

Soundwave was created before or during the age of wrath and the tfwiki states this outright, with it possibly placing him as older than Megatron. He was apparently originally part of Sentinel Prime's council?

Shockwave is placed at a very similar creation time range as Soundwave. Dude spent a lot of time being a cryptid on Cybertron after the whole overthrowing the Quintessons stuff.

The tfwiki is super unhelpful with trying to find around when Starscream was created, or even who he was before the war.

Bumblebee is very much outlined as Cybertron's last generation during the war (and obviously before the Well was revived post-tfp) now I've got a particular headthing where i call all mecha born during the war "Warlings" as a combo of war-sparklings, but that is just me being special decial. Ohhh he was Very adopted by autobot high command

Ratchet is firmly placed as having been born before the age of wrath, is older than Iacon definitely. Beyond that, most of his stuff is mentioned about his actions during the invasion and rebellion against the Quintessons.

Arcee was spying in Kaon before the war, and that's all we got.

Hmm, while we have nothing on Breakdown before the war, i did find something useful. Aligned Breakdown used to be far more similar to the nervous g1 Breakdown we know as a scout. His first interaction with Bulkhead and subsequent major upgrade seens to have dispelled most of it

Segueing to Bulkhead, we know he had a blue collar job and that's it. Great.

Knockout, nothing.

For Wheeljack, we actually got something again! The tfwiki states he was created during the Age of Origins (which... doesn't have a page) which is stated as when transformer civilization started to rise? Wow that's pretty old? Apparently the Wreckers are older than the Autobots, having started as a vigilante group. We might be able to use Wheeljack's age to determine Bulkhead's, and both may very well be as old as Ratchet or older. Hmm.

Ultra Magnus, who is especially old as hell goddamn, was created before or during the age of origins.

Jazz is, you guessed it, before or during the age of wrath. Great. He was an Iacon cultural investigator, apparently.

Ironhide (is this when you realize the wfc games are technically for the aligned continuity yet?) Was created during or before the golden age, which is actually fairly younger than anticipated.

Smokescreen is noted to having been an elite guard cadet at the end of the war (well... the end of the war while on Cybertron) where he got knocked into stasis to be a key container like immediately.

Predaking as we know is a clone so we cannot play by the same rules as the above, and we don't know how long Shockwave was working on him for before popping him to Earth

Darksteek and Skylynx on the other hand we know exactly when they were created as it was the spave between the tfp finale and the epilogue

There are two Sideswipes. I will dub these Sideswipe senior and Sideswipe junior. Sideswipe senior's creation and actions before the war are unknown. Sideswipe junior, also unknown but considering how he was called a teenager in the rid15 pilot, I'm going to assume he was created somewhere near the end of the war or after the war.

Strongarm is a similar situation as Sideswipe junior, and honestly I'm gonna put the RBA kids in a similar category, at the end of the war or directly after.

Oh honey I'm not going through all the RID15 Decepticons as we definitely aren't going to get any timeline answers there.

Hm... the Rescue bots yet again pose questions by defying the rules of the aligned continuity, the tfwiki suggesting they were straight up protoforms upon arriving to earth (which defies what we know that protoforms in the aligned continuity aren't exactly able to be up and walking, and there's the reference that Blades had wheels when he was on Cybertron...) who the fuck knows though, they could've been frozen for Fuck All Knows (at least I've got an Idea when Blurr and Salvage were frozen being the paleolithic-neolithic boundary, thank you Ira lol)
