Swerve Is Infamous For Somehow, Unwaveringly, Unquestionably Knowing EXACTLY Which Song To Play In His

voiced by Steve Blum :p

Guys i rediscovered transformers Reacue bots for the first time in 12 years and ended up simping for the moody firetruck help

They are also a reference to the 86 movie, when Optimus and Megs throw hands he has the exact same pattern of streaks (though it is coolant, not real tears) and he says "It's over, Prime" while our Megs says "This isn't over, Prime." The scene of Megs getting thrown back when Optimus breaches from the core is also a reference to the 86 movie. Exact same pose.

sorry for the shitty piracy website quality but if you look closely you can see it

The tears?? Streaking through the grime on his face? I'm never gonna stop thinking about this

COME ON RATCHET STANS WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!! HYPE!!!!!!

I really enjoyed writing the request of TFO Starscream finding a raising sparkling, and now brian storming a similar fic for TFP.

THIS IS AMAZING WHAT THE HELL

Okay so I'm been having this shit brewing in my head for a while and I keep coming back to it. I want to be like G1 but also a mix of other continuities as well Like TF Prime, TF One, Etc.

This is my shitty writing, I'm sorry if it's bad I just want to put it out there. If you have any ideas of what I should call this au please comment.

So Imagine this, we know that Megatron is like the leader of the decepticons right? He’s the founder so just like what if Orion becomes the leader of the decepticons instead?? Hey, it is a thought. I'm not saying he is the founder. Like how the normal story goes Orion pax the archivist meets Megatronus the gladiator, they talk about ideas and the future, Megatronous constructs the Decepticons, Orion joins him. ( I always liked the thought that Orion was one of the first decepticons of Megs group before becoming prime.)

They have two different perspectives. Orion thinks that they can peacefully have an audience with the Council/Senate (idk which one to use.) to take down and rebuild this terrible system they live by while Megatronous on the other hand thinks that they won’t listen to words and only by action (VIOLENCE!! ETC.) Btw of course this is an OpMeg so yeah they are together, there so trusting in one another and collaborate so well. Big Gladiator Mech and Lil Archivist bot

So to make this hurt, Orion was able to get an audience with the Council/Senate by the help of Sentinel “Prime”. And after convincing Megs to go see them to present his dream to dismantling the oppressive caste system. But of course the Naive Orion didn’t know that the Council/senate was using him to lure the Leader of the decepticons into a trap. They didn’t want him to spread anymore of these ‘ideas’.

(I want sentinel to be a part of this cuz I love and hate that bastard.)

Orion comes with Megatronus to speak with the senate and Sentinel.

(Okay so I'm still having Orion become prime but not like how the Senate will make him prime. Sentinel Took the matrix for himself but the Matrix doesn’t respond to him, so it is just a piece of junk without a Worthy Mech to attune to it. He still uses it as a way for publicity, it's not like citizens really knows how the Matrix works anyways.)

Orion is standing next to him as he backs up Megatronus words as he explains to them.

After this the Senate mocks him, Sentinel Truly explains to them why Lower caste should stay below them. They are born to serve the superior and die when useless, it is their Primus given purpose. Orion interrupts the Sentinel as he is shocked and angry at his words, “any bot can be more than what they're supposedly ‘born to do’.”

He uses Megatronus as an example, how he became more than a Miner, a Gladiator, he learned how to read and write, wrote literature that moved people, that anyone is the same at spark no matter their frame type. In a quick swift movement Sentinel who had enough of the words of this archivist went to silence him.

As he grabs him by the throat and throws him across the room. Megatronous tried to stop him but was then restrained by Guards. Sentinel tells them both how stupid they are. That what he says is right, that he is a prime and there not and the people will listen to him and not some nobodies. ( Basically Nuh uh Im prime so i get to do what ever da fuck i want , you poor ass bitches)(dude not even a fucken prime like brother shut the fuck up)

Orion coughs as he slowly rises up from the ground. He wobbles a bit before speaking. “You may be a prime but I won’t let you mock him or put anyone beneath you anymore. Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. They are more than their function!” As he finishes that statement a low rumbling sound emits from Sentinel's chest and a low blue glow seeps out. The Matrix recognizes a worthy mech to attune to.

Sentinel baffles tires to keep the relic inside as he panics. The relic bursts out his chest as it makes its way towards Orion. He grits his teeths in pain as he orders the guards to terminate him to keep him from getting the relic. Shots fire as Orion tries to run, the Matrix stops and floats waiting for its chosen welder to claim it.

His left arm is shot off his body and he takes a hit at his knee. Orion cries out for Megatronous as he falls to the ground again. Megatronous finally gets out of the guard's hold, tearing them apart and runs towards him. Sentinel huffs in pain as he slowly walks towards Orion who is crawling pathetically to the Matrix.

With a blaster ready he points it towards the crawling mech. “ why couldn't you be a good lil mech just stay ignorant”. As he fires Megatronous throws Sentinel taking the shot. Orion shouted in horror. Megatronus collapses as smoke emits out a gaping hole near his spark.

He bleeds heavily as Orion crawls towards his injured beloved. A large servo goes up to cradle his face “ Please, don’t leave, I can't lose you!” Orion begs. Megatronous wipes his tears as he speaks “Do not cry my little one, I will not leave you. I will always be with you my spark”. Megatronous gives him one last kiss as his frame slowly grays. “ No Nononononono, no please my champion please” he cries.

Yeah again this is just an idea of how Megatronus is going to die, I might change it, who knows. So then Orion filled with resentment towards Sentinel. Like how D-16 became Megatron due anger building up inside as he was lied to slave away his entire life, for Orion it is more of him believing in something, that there is good in people and no need to lean towards violence but to be betrayed by the system that he relied on, he experience a violation of trust. Especially when the person he idolizes hurts the ones he loves. Pretty much breaks you and how you see the world around you.

I want Orion to feel terrible, just terrible, to blame himself (which isn’t new) for the death of his beloved champion, for killing the mech that people look up to, the mech that people put their faith in, the one who united everyone to strive for more.

After Megatronous dies, he takes the Matrix and feels a sense of duty to fulfill their dream as he feels the need to redeem himself. Then he'll step up and take the role as the leader of the decepticons, he believes he needs to bear this responsibility all to himself, to punish himself for his actions for leading him to his death due to his naivety.

If you have any questions don't be afraid to send an ask, I can elaborate if you like.

Everyone join hands together and pray I get Starscream from this blind box

Time to tap the sign again

Just wanted to say a couple of things: one, thank you for the respectful agree to disagree, and I will leave it there since we're clearly at an impasse.

Second, because I'm a particular nut for details (my writer brain seems to be quite the technician), I just want to leave this here regarding relatives and familial-like connections regarding Transformers.

https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Relatives

If you still disagree, then we can once more agree to disagree and go our separate ways.

Once again, thank you for the respectful debate.

Yes, I know that in most continuities there are characters who have familial or romantic relationships with each other. I’ve been in the fandom for 11 years now, I’m quite familiar with a lot of the common lore.

My point remains that Transformers: One is an entirely new and separate continuity in which familial relationship and reproductive lore has not been specified in the source material, of which there is only the movie and the junior novel to consult at this time, thus being upset that the film doesn’t represent any kind of familial relationship other than the brotherhood of Orion Pax and D-16 (which is the focal point of the story) and a couple of crumbs hinting that Orion has a crush on Elita (but never explicitly stated) just simply doesn’t make sense to me.

And I say that as an OTP OpLita fangirl who absolutely reads 1000% into every one of those tiny crumbs like they are manna from heaven 😅

So all that to say, I must still agree to disagree with you. Sorry that was such a long answer, I 💜 Elita (not Earthspark or TFA) and will yap about her for hours if you let me 😭

let’s go to the beach!

Doorwings are there mostly just because they couldn't fit anywhere on the bot's chassis/limbs, but maybe also for mating. Like peacocks

Oh and also for expressing emotions, just like seekers! Though seekers have a WHOLE ASS LANGUAGE with their wings, grounders could only dream

Genuine question, what are doorwings?

Is it just an aesthetic pice, or do they have a function?

I always assumed seekers were the only ones able to fly, so why do ground bats also have them?

Oh, and the thing u mentioned about the drones! The black/gold trackers are cold constructs that never had their full coding put in, making them, well, drones. They had language and battle coding, and that was it. No self care coding (they don't have faces or mouths so I guess they're refuelled like cars or something), no socializing coding, only basic intelligence (inability to disobey a command).

Damn I just realized that Sentinel Prime literally turns grey when he dies

Well would you look at that
