I've never seen TLK, only seen it referenced in fanart. Does Megatron really turn into a dragon?
No, there's a different guy (probably Skylynx) who's a dragon and there are other dragons (the knights??) But he himself? I don't think so
Admittedly i didn't like a lot of The Last Knight as it was pretty human centric and imo focused on the wrong things, but there's a few gems in there like Primus seemingly being a Quintesson as Quintessa, baby dinobots, and some interesting character designs (out of all five movies i still think TLK Mehatron has the best design. Dude was fucking glorious and not even a big deal because he's been fucked up so many times in bayverse)

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. I can't stand it. It's too easy. The Prime is in love with a human.

I’m watching The Last Knight again, and
God , I know she’s not popular but
Tumblr media
I personally loved the concept of Quintessa? And the idea of a Cybertronian sorceress, who uses Energon in more mystic manners and more, magic meeting machine and whatnot.
Like, I am very tempted to steal her for my Astray verse, because I think at the core of Transformers, there can be a hint of mysticism, what with Primus, Unicron, the Thirteen Primes, and more.
Honestly I may play with the concept of her being something…maybe use her in one of my AUs?

I kinda remember one villain in The last knight, Quintessa, does she gonna used the terrans once she found out about them?
She'd most likely want to get her own on the Emberstone so she'd manipulate the Terrans and Maltos to that end.

Bayverse: Creators bio
Prima- He was the leader of the Creators and their kind, the Quintessons. He was born without eyes, however, his abilities and great leadership skills had him gain great respect. One of his abilities was to see the past, present, and future of any creature or item he touched. He has great control with this power and could also reveal information through touch. He usually did this to quickly share important intel with his fellow Creators. 
Vector- He was a leader of the Quintessons alongside Prima. His main ability was manipulating space and time. It was through this manipulation that he could teleport to extremely far places. He can teleport instantly and even manipulate his limbs to evade incoming attacks. He can also manipulate items and other Quintessons such as levitating them or even teleporting them away.
Logos (Alchemist)- Known as the curious one, Logos was always fascinated by life and sentience. Unlike most Creators, Logos does not have any abilities. He is instead considered a leader due to his incredible intellect and genius. He had a great understanding of life at the molecular level. His intellect was mostly used in making devastating weapons. In his free time, however, he would make his own experiments and study other organic life. 
Nexus- Nexus excelled on the battlefield. His ability was to create copies of himself. His copies were able to think for themselves. To his fellow Creators, Nexus and his copies were seen as unpredictable, yet reliable. With his copies he would pull pranks on his fellow Creators. After the incident that permantly left him to be split, he was given a new ability to combine into one. This ability was given by Vector. 
Liege Maximo- He is a master manipulator and was able to craft convincable lies. He believed the ends justifies the means and felt no companionship with the other Creators. Along with his great manipulation skills, he also has the ability to mind control others. He only uses this ability when necessary as he takes great pride in his own manipulation skills. 
Quintessa: She is a leader of the Quintessons and even changed her name to show this. (Idk what her original name might have been) Her ability is to create life. This ability, however, was overpowerful and Logos helped in the creation of The Staff to center her power. Within the battlefield she could energize wounded warriors. It was with Primus and Unicron that she used her power to create new life from scratch. When the Creators were murdered by the Cybertronians, she gained the title Prime of Life. She sees herself as the main creator of the Cybertronians as it was her ability that brought them to life. Without her, they would be merely drones. 
Note: The Staff was able to be controlled by Merlin as Logos did at some point fear Quintessa’s power and added a safe lock where a second person and their descendents could control it if they gave their DNA to it. He hoped to use this to make sure she didn’t go too far. 
The Allspark was also another safety measure from Logos. He was able to convince his fellow Creators to give the Cybertronians a way to give life on their own to quicken production. (He did not want Quintessa to have full power over the Cybertronian in case she used them against the rest of them.)
Tumblr media
I was gonna add my designs for the Creators in this post but I don't like the designs at the moment. Once I figure them out I'll post them in another post.

okay. I've been rewatching the Bay movies with my mom. because they are what introduced me and my mom to transformers, and we still have something of a soft spot for them.
we had not seen the fifth movie before.
the first four were alright. the first one felt like an action movie in a good way, though we watched it on a corrupted disc from the library. the second one could've been better. the third one was impressive in its enormity. the fourth was alright, if a bit dystopic
but the fifth one. oh, the fifth one.
we had to stop watching halfway through because, despite my excitement for Unicron, the mythos was butchered so badly and the editing and storyline were such utter shit we couldn't get through twenty minutes at a time without one or both of us needing a break, whether to process (my mom) or to scream (me)

Can you do a one-shot, Bayverse Optimus, with an adopted human reader. Based on the song 'More than Anything' from Hazbin Hotel?
anon, I am very happy to make this request, I recently finished watching Hazbin Hotel. I have to say I fell in love with Charlie and Lucifer's father/daughter relationship. So I have approached it this way, Optimus and GN!reader!human know each other from one of the NEST raids at the beginning of the second movie. Let's say you were 8 or 9 years old, no Reader hadn't seen it from age of extinction to the last knight. Reader had 22 years (more or less)
youtube
You are part of who I am
Bayverse Optimus Prime x GN!human!reader (adopted)
Words : 2,056
Summary: You had created a proposal for an alliance of humans and cybertronians but not many agreed. You didn't have much means until you had no choice but to call your father. Based in 'More than anything' of hazbin hotel
Warning: g/t fluff and angst, confort, mentions of death, happy ending and surprise
Tumblr media
Y/N was so close to being able to make a dream come true, peace between the two species…. It could be done, it was done once it could be done again. Those days when Y/N missed meeting with the Cybertronians but despite having saved the world. Earth and Cybertron would be side by side.
There was quite a bit of disagreement about forming an alliance again, there was a lot of chaos and destruction in Optimus' absence when he went to find the creators. Trusts had fallen but at least a few could help Y/N…. Cade, Shane, Tessa… Some former allies returned Simmons and Lennox. Diplomacy was in the doldrums… Cogman gave you some advice.
-Miss Y/N you must not give up, you are close to being able to have an audience with your leaders.
-But the proposal is no good to them… They need more proof - said Y/N preparing more photos and documents.
Cade was watching more documents while he sighed - Y/N, I think it's about time you ask for help to… him
Y/N folded its arms, it sighed, it hadn't seen its father for a while, he was busy with the reconstruction of Cybertron. He hadn't had time to talk to you, nor had you had time to talk to him. You didn't want to bother him, since you wanted to accomplish this on your own.
-I will find a way…
Cogman was already on the phone - Lord Prime, we need your… - Cogman said as Y/N took the phone from him.
-Hey dad, how's it going? - Y/N said trying to be calm.
Y/N could note her father's deep baritone with some joy.
-It's been a long time since you called me, what's wrong?
Y/N sighed again as he sat up seeing that Cogman and Cade were looking at him to move forward talking.
-You see… We have a proposal for an alliance like we did with NEST. I would need your help
-No… - Optimus said seriously.
Y/N felt his heart break a little, he thought at least his father would be there to support the idea but he didn't give up.
-But Dad you did it with NEST once. Don't you remember those times? Wouldn't it be best for both worlds if we joined together?
Y/N heard Optimus growl on the other end of the phone.
-Not a very good idea, Y/N, I know what you want to do, but… You shouldn't get involved in something you can't control…
-But Dad…
-No, it's my last word, if you'll excuse me, I have to…
-NO! If we talk about this in person, you will see what we have accomplished here. Please - Y/N said a bit desperately.
If Optimus Prime denied this alliance then there would be no hope and TRF or a group like Cementery Wind would be back again. It didn't understand why Optimus didn't agree with the idea or that it was in charge of the agreement. It also knew that her father wasn't the same since Quintessa brainwashed him. He had been self-conscious as well…
Y/N knew that Optimus always overprotected her but Y/N was no longer a child in fact she is an adult. If she was going to argue her point she was going to do it any way she could.
-All right, I'll come talk to you this afternoon," said Optimus as the call was cut off.
-That was a good development, Miss Y/N," said Cogman as Y/N leaned her head on the table.
Cade walked over to her - You just need to reason with him. Understand that as a father he also wants to protect you
-Cade, no I'm a child…. I want this world to live in harmony both species we have a lot to give. You know that as well as I do - Y/N said as Cade stroked your head.
Cade was with father to Y/N too, he had helped Y/N since Optimus left almost raising you as if it was also his child as well as Tessa and Izzy the new addition to the family.
-You still hold your optimism well, but you both have been through a lot. You will still be his child in his eyes
-Optics - said Cogman correcting him - Miss Y/N, surely if you see all the progress we've made…. Accepting some bots with humans.
-I don't know if Crosshairs along with Shane is a good idea…. I've had to keep the officers at bay - said Y/N.
-Don't think about it they are still trying to improve…. Look for example: Hot Rod and Vivian were getting along very well since the incident - said Cade trying to cheer her up.
-After kidnapping her at first, sir - said Cogman as Cade slapped his hand to his forehead.
Y/N stood up as Cogman and Cade got into a debate. Y/N went to communicate the news to the rest of the bots and humans.
Y/N was starting to have a lot of doubts about it, besides how were going to handle it, she looked at the autobot pendant he gave her. It couldn't give up now.
Hours later…
Y/N had prepared every bot and every human above all that Hound, Crosshairs would not approach the weaponry or try to disturb Cogman, last time there were several problems in this regard.
Cade saw that Y/N was pacing around as Izzy approached excitedly.
-She looks very nervous, she should be excited," said Izzy as she approached Y/N.
Cade took the papers away from Y/N to concentrate on the people around her.
-It would be all right, little bell…. You just have to be calm…
-Lord Prime is already entering the place," said Cogman.
The unmistakable entrance of Optimus with all the bots and humans watching him talking to him. It reminded Y/N of the old days in NEST talking to Ironhide, Ratchet… But now… he was more apathetic, more subdued.
-Lord Prime we are honored to have you in our little haven. It has been in collaboration of some bots….
-Mostly my workmanship - said Hound proudly.
Y/N approached as he watched Optimus kneel down -Welcome to Omega One shelter, we give shelter to both humans and any type of Bot that wants to establish communication with humans.
-Mostly Autobots… If you bring Decepti here….
-Crosshairs, kid, the official visit better be made by the daughter," said Hound, pushing him away.
Y/N nodded to Hound as Crosshairs being around could spoil the occasion so he would do whatever it took to make sure it didn't go wrong.
Y/N showed the facilities showing all the collaboration… The energon supply, food, the electrical system with energon created between Cade and Brains. The houses although of enormous size adapted to the different sizes of the autobots and humans. Which seemed curious once you got to look at it.
-We want all this to have more zones… The alliance would not only help humans, it would also help cybertronians who need to stay on Earth," Y/N said as he sat in a sitting area with Optimus and Cade.
-We have considered all possible measures with the Autobots….
-Have you considered the remaining Decepticons? Several of them are in Human Security cells, plus we can't ignore the fact that Megatron is still at large… There are Autobots who after the treatment of the humans over the years do not want to agree to this deal - Optimus said seriously.
-We have considered having a trial conducted by you and some Autobots… Dad, some Decepticons may change… Brains and Wheelie are the example. I know it will cost to change the minds of people and Cybertronians - said Y/N with all the feeling in his voice.
-The trial would see it as fair, but some Decepticons can try humans and vice versa. With the battle of Chicago - said Optimus seriously while clenching his fist.
The Battle of Chicago was the decline of the alliance leading to runaway situations of all… Of the loss of many autobots among them… Ratchet and human casualties with that of… Sam. Y/N hadn't commented much on the subject with him or Bumblebee who keeps remembering his friend with brother.
-But we can't fall into those mistakes, we can do better," Y/N said as Optimus frowned while Y/N folded his arms.
Cade was seeing that the situation was getting too complicated for them to talk to each other. Besides, it was something more serious that they needed to talk to each other, so he walked away, leaving them some space and taking Cogman with him who was watching in the distance.
-I'm sorry, Y/N, but this idea is not going to work," Optimus said, standing up and dropping his commanding tone.
Y/n saw what he was doing closing in again, creating a wall as he had done before.
-I can't abandon them… If we don't make that deal the chases will come up again," said Y/N as Optimus turned his back on him.
-I made a mistake in creating that alliance…. - Optimus said as he left.
-Meaning finding me was a mistake? - said Y/N making Optimus stop in his tracks - You remember that moment…. My family died because of a Decepticon… I had no one else. And you decided to take care of me, even though we are not of the same blood.
Optimus turned around and knelt down in front of Y/N looking her in the eyes.
-I couldn't just leave you there, you were such a pure and sensitive soul…. I tried, little one… I don't want them to destroy you like they did me. You're the only thing that makes me stay…. - Optimus said with a broken voice as Y/N touched his cheek.
-Dad… I always admired how you did things, being strong yet kind enough to both humans and autobots and even the Decepticons. You were my source of inspiration for this alliance. When you left to search for the creators I tried my best to find a way to help…. I thought I would never see you again, unless your legacy lived on among us," Y/N said as tears welled up in his eyes.
Optimus went to wipe her tears with his digit - Y/N… I… my little one - said Optimus as he lifted her up and brought her closer to her chassis - I have had a hard time, the brainwashing made me think several things among them what would happen if I fell again and hurt you… I could not forgive myself. You are the best thing that has ever happened in my long life, I can't lose that innocence of yours…. Though you have become a warrior.
Y/N I look at the optics - We'll make it work this time, you won't lose me so quickly…. You see I'm not alone. I just need your support is all I ask - Y/N said as Optimus squeezed him closer.
-I missed you in my arms and your little smile," said Optimus smiling.
Y/N saw a sincere smile, something it haven't seen in a long time in its presence -…. Thank you for adopting me that day…
-Thank you for changing my life that day," Optimus said as he held you in his arms for a while longer.
Y/N stayed closer to him despite all the difficulties they had, Optimus will continue to be a part of her life as she is in his.
While not too far from where they were….
Most bots and humans with tissues in hand watching and hearing what they were talking about thanks Cogman.
-Just beautiful, they have opened their hearts," said Cogman as Izzy grabbed a handkerchief.
-You know that if they both find out they're going to kill us, right? said Hound as Cade nodded.
-Yes, we'd better not say a word, otherwise we don't want anger from both of them," said Cade with a smile, looking at the picture and remembering his daughter.
It didn't matter if she was human or cybertronian, this was the proof of a coexistence of cybertronians and humans.
Caring for each other.
More than anything.

So one of the scrapped concepts for The Last Knight was a G1 accurate Quintesson Judge, instead of Quintessa Prime.
Don't get me wrong I like Quintessa actually but
We could've gotten a bayverse Quintesson judge????

The last cry of faith
Tumblr media
One shot- Optimus Prime Part. 1
Universe: Bayverse.
The events occur after Transformers 5: The Last Knight
Warning: Interspecies Love, HumanxCybertronian
The reader is human.
Enjoy! I'm sorry if any translation is wrong. My first language is not english.This fic was originally written in spanish. Please understand (⁠o⁠´⁠・⁠_⁠・⁠)⁠っ
This was written with love.
Part 2 is now available :
Is this how this will all end? Is this our end?
We thought the problems were over once Cybertron lodged in Earth's atmosphere without having fully absorbed its energy.
But this turned into total chaos when a threat greater than any other would be stalking both species and we did not know if we would have any salvation, even when we learned that Quintessa was still alive and would go against humanity again to safeguard his species and his planet; Unicron's sudden awakening would cause us to become extinct.
An event we didn't know if we could avoid, not like this, not with Optimus being really angry at the humans.
After Optimus returned to Earth and saved it from a merciless fate, it was inevitable that sooner or later he would be informed that the TFR was against the freedom and life of any Cybertronian no matter what side or team they belonged to, that was. the straw that broke the camel's back for Optimus to put one more limit between humanity and the respective alliance that the government supposedly had with the Autobots.
I was present when Optimus exploded with anger and once again abandoned the NEST base with his team of Autobots that he called family.
Me and Cade wanted to intervene in that meeting, but he only saw us with helplessness, because our word had no value against the orders of the TFR, those of NEST or those of the American government. I felt his gaze full of sadness and anger on me, as if he was waiting for me to do something else, for me to tell him to stay but no words came out of my mouth because fear invaded me.
Without causing more havoc to the threat of Quintessa, Optimus Prime and his Autobots had abandoned us, Bumblebee wanted to refuse the order that the leader gave, he had no choice either and so they returned to Cybertron.
Our days were dated and our hours numbered.
Cade had returned to Texas to be with her daughter who had just graduated from college, he didn't know if this was the last time he would see her and he preferred to be in her last days accompanied by what he loved most in life. The life of her. Everyone seemed to be accepting this inevitable fate. International television news channels were filled with an upcoming alien invasion and an end that would burn us to the core of the Earth.
I just stood there, waiting. Waiting for life to give me another chance to see it.
But I knew that life hated me, I was left alone looking at Cybertron in the distance between the clouds and the skies from the junkyard where I lived with Cade and the Autobots in our past days. A memory that was lost between betrayal, abandonment and hopelessness.
It was unfair that only Optimus left without saying anything else after everything we had been through, everything we had ever built, that he threw me in the trash as if my life and my feelings were worth absolutely nothing to him and he left me. here.
I was also angry with him, with everyone, but I tried to understand him.
But I didn't know if he understood me.
Tears began to flow from my eyes, I felt hurt and alone. I was trying to find some motivation for this, but this time it was just me.
Without anyone's support or support. Without Optimus Prime.
I swore that time passed quickly as I cried in one of the corners of the trailer, remembering the moments I spent with the Autobots and with Optimus especially. Those memories would only remain in the memory of my short existence but I knew that they would last in my soul.
I decided to stop and look in the mirror.
Seeing my reflection only made things worse, had I really become that fragile?
My thoughts and crying were interrupted by a loud noise coming from outside and I grabbed a gun Cade had left in the trailer and reloaded it. I got out of the trailer slowly.
—Who is there?—I wiped the traces of my tears with the sleeve of my blouse. "If you're coming for the Autobots, they're not here anymore," I stressed and swallowed nervously.
—It's you!—The little Autobot came out of hiding. It was Brains. “I knew you were here!” He said excitedly and ran towards me.
I lowered the gun instantly.
—Silly human, we were looking for you everywhere.—Wheelie left behind him.
My knees buckled and I fell onto the dusty pavement.
—W-What are you doing here?—I asked and Brains responded.
—We are trying to save the Earth.
I didn't understand what exactly he meant by "save the Earth."
"That big guy wants to talk to you," Wheelie said. — He's desperate and he wants a reason to save your ass.
Brains nodded.
—You are the only one who has the last word that Optimus hopes to believe in humans again. That's why the three of us escaped from the base and came here to look for you.
—Did you say "three"? —I took a deep breath and heard the horn that I recognized instantly, it was Bumblebee's and it was coming here in its alternative mode with the headlights on.
My eyesight became uncomfortable and I put my hands in front of me until they went out.
Bumblebee transformed and I looked at him with nostalgia and joy. He missed those sounds that he emitted so much from his gears and circuits.
But I still didn't quite understand, I mean, did they just come back for me to try to convince Optimus to save us? Why not Cade? What about Vivian or Lennox or even General Morshower? Why me?
"Prime wants to see you," Bumblebee spoke.— He needs you.
—I see that your voice box now works.—I smiled when I heard his real voice, but my smile faded. —But I don't know what they're looking for, he's not here anymore. —I stood up and shook my pants. —He abandoned us and I can't appeal to his decision, Bee.
—And that's what you really want? —I'm sure Bee wouldn't give up so easily to convince me.
—He abandoned me, if you try to dig into my past looking for a version of me that no longer exists to solve this, it won't help. I'm not the same as before. —I avoided Bumblebee's gaze, I didn't want him to see my tears coming again. —I don't want this, but I don't know what to do.
—I know that Optimus was away for a long time when he had to look for our creators and it hurt you to see him again being Nemesis.—He continued.—But I know that your feelings towards him have not changed, he had to leave because he had no other option. .
—He didn't have a choice? How do you think I feel knowing that he left me here alone?—I whispered, my tears began to come out.—He didn't even bother to say goodbye, to tell me something that might encourage us to have a talk, he didn't give any indication of who wanted to talk to me. Nothing, Bee! Nothing happened! He doesn't even care about Quintessa or the Earth, the humans or me, and they're asking me to try to talk to him?
I looked at them all, I think they understood my point of view.
—Optimus tried to understand the government, but lost his temper when he found out everything. Try to understand it.—Bee explained.
"And who understands me, Bumblebee?!" I faced him, at this point I was angry. —He didn't even care about me when he came back, much less will he care about my life if I die. After all his planet will be revived.
"He cares more about you than you think." Bumblebee scolded and crouched down to be at my level.
—And why are you here and not him? —I had a point in my favor. A small silence lingered as they tried to find the perfect words to encourage me to talk to Optimus. His only argument was that he was furious.
I know they don't want that, for his planet to be revived at the cost of the life of another and the lives of millions of innocents.
I know that Optimus did not want to bear another heavier burden because of it, because of his stupid decisions, but his pride was greater, that's why they came, to get him down from the clouds. That's when I could understand everything.
—Prime hurt you, we understand it, he understands it. But it was not easy for him to understand that he needs help from others to be on the right path. It wasn't easy for him to understand that he needs you, he didn't want to bother you. His purpose was never to abandon you, but he is the one who must give you explanations. Optimus still has you, the only person who waited for him for so long and is still waiting for him. The only person who didn't lose faith in him or he in you. —He hit the nail on the head. "That's why... they must talk." Bumblebee began to transform again and opened the pilot's door for him to get in.
—You are his only redemption and the only person who can change everything.—Brains rested his hand against my leg seeking empathy and comfort.
Did he really have enough courage to do it?

Pleasseeee talk about Bay Megatron being a tragic hero 🙏 I yearn for bayverse character depth (Lord High Protector Megatron my beloved)
u got it o7 anti-villain might be a more appropriate term, but in his own story he's the tragic hero i'm sure
in every single movie, megatron is purely and solely concerned with saving his planet or his people. he doesn't care who gets in the way or who can get him there; the ends justify the means and he will take any and every opportunity. despite his heroic intentions, the movies heavily portray him as an unreasonably evil guy, which just isn't fitting for his goals i feel. or rather — not surprising from bayverse — they failed to portray it correctly and in an impactful way. we had his goals, but we did not have the right presentation or emphasis for how he felt about those goals (dotm may be the only slight exception of this as it was far closer to showing the emotions of our cybertronians than the other movies) but generally, he was shown to hold a lot of resentment for optimus and sought to destroy everything, with only hints of his actual end goal there.
the first movie, he was presented as wanting to use the allspark "for evil" and killing every autobot in the process. here, he's just straight up an evil guy, having been seeking the allspark for ages, but after the destruction of his planet and their numbers depleting due to war, i'm sure fixing that became his goal. also with the addition of hating humans, because they were also getting in the way <3 they had him frozen and were using his potential babies for their menial tasks! /hj (which they created using reverse-engineered technology from him; they literally handed it to him on a silver platter. we'll see this again in a few movies)
however, the second movie (which leads me to believe what his intentions were in the first ^) he was concerned about getting energon for their youth, starving before they're even hatched, and went for the most tried and tested method of obliterating a sun for energon that i'm sure would last them for ages and through the development of their baby decepticons. optimus has to die in the process? a massive bonus! humans have to die in the process? huuuuge bonus. he gets to feed their young in the end and gain a new army of decepticons to help revive cybertron and establish a new generation? biggest bonus. no one will be able to get in his way.
the third movie, the guy lost almost everything. left with only a few of their young, he just wanted to go home and have it be fixed. this was his final chance. he went as far as to lower himself to be "equal" with an autobot prime for his major advantage over everything: the spacebridge. and with what little energy and mental coherency he had left, he went for the most extreme option of not only enslaving billions of humans, but bringing cybertron into earth's orbit. when his plan begins to succeed, he is already losing energy but feels massive relief of finally seeing his planet once more. he could finally fulfill his life's goal. sentinel got him there, but he was also about to take it from him (teehee A+ carly manipulation). and we know how megatron feels about people getting in his way !
fourth movie, he worked with what was handed to him. literally handed to him. humans made a grave mistake not only creating a bot that will essentially function like megatron, but once again, an entire array of bots (this time all activated and functioning independently!) ready for directions. the seed that would turn biological material into transformium was his ticket to creating more of these ksi bots. his ticket to reviving their species. it was a little sad how back-burnered he got in this movie tho lol he got demoted to second-rate villain harder than the first two movies combined! so again, his goals were muddied.
fifth movie, we attempt to bring cybertron back. again. and judging by the red mark upon megatron's face, he had made a deal with quintessa. or she had taken over him in some way but we know how megatron feels about mind control. but having a common goal, there was probably little resistance to quintessa and was merely marked. he is again, rather low on energy methinks and understands, with the years humans have spent living with cybertronians, they have actually become highly dangerous. he's not stupid. he learned from his past and will lay back and let quintessa do the work if that meant it would work out in the end for him. this movie was a bit more sloppy with its writing but megatron is still concerned about their home.
it's to such a severe degree, that the autobots' goal is no longer to bring back their home like many other iterations; it's to stop the decepticons from getting there first. from getting there at all. they'd rather sacrifice their home and race than to let the decepticons have it, and it's for that reason megatron had been pushed so far so many times in each movie, with increasingly dangerous and unconventional methods. call him mr. grasping at straws, but he wouldn't let the autobots goal of stopping decepticons — thus giving the decepticons a goal of destroying autobots — get too much in his way. his end goal was ALWAYS to save their planet and people.
doesn't mean megatron is good. he is still unequivocally a villain who became corrupt by the failures he endured at the hands of the autobots bent on stopping him. it just makes you wonder

Alternative AU to "Love doesn't always end with a happily ever after..."
A/N: Ya'll I just had this idea while scrolling through Tik-Tok, and this is a reference to my Angst Bay OP x Human Reader Oneshot if you wanna read here;
These contain spoilers for the one-shot, but not really lol. This kinda a small angst story if the Reader meets Quintessa, and Optimus doesn't get mind-controlled by her. And just to say that Quintessa is being an evil glitch here😒🙄...
Warnings: Spoilers for Transformers TLK, Angsty stuff, Potential Character Death, Violence, Cursing, Talk/Hints of Manipulation and Torture, Injuries, and, Quintessa (She needs a warning of her own).
She laughs like a witch.
"Of course, you and Optimus could've been together!" Quintessa taunts you. Your eyes widen, feeling angry and perplexed at the wicked god who captured your beloved leader. "W-What the hell do you mean by that!?" You rage out to her.
"Tsk, Don't you get it human?" Quintessa says gratingly. "Optimus loved you from the start, he was only simply scared of his feelings." She cooed, and you grasp shock taking over the state of her words. He was scared?
"For all his earnestness, he didn't know how to act around you, and you know Prime always carries burdens on his own." The scheming Deity cackles, while you process what she said. All this time he loves you, but he hid them out of fear, not knowing how to act around you?
You clench your fists in wrath, "H-How are you aware of this!?" Quintessa snickers "I'm his Creator, I will feel his emotions and see what he goes through."
She continues, "I've also observed how his spark feels warm when he's near you, and it's loathsome to discover..." Her optics cringes in dissatisfaction at him for his affections towards you. "I suppose that now you and his minions intruded on my chambers, you're looking for Prime, aren't you?" She mockingly addresses, you glare at her in disgust.
"Now now, don't look at me like that fleshy, I had just given Optimus a little lesson for refusing to work with me." An evil grin appears on her faceplates, before you could say anything, huge doors open, it was a foggy sight, though you then see two guards carelessly dragging an enormous bot that seemed like...Optimus?
Once the view was clear it is Optimus that was dragged by them, he was then roughly thrown to the ground. He appears to be; bruised, hurt, and injured, and he's unconscious as well. You feel horrified at what you learn.
You run and cling to him, "O-Optimus! Please get up! It's me (Name)! Can't you hear me!?" You cry out helplessly while Quintessa giggles sadistically. "Your screams to attempt to wake him are useless and pitiful to hear." She teases you.
Becoming more pissed off than before you screech at her; "YOU WRETCHED MONSTER! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM!?" as you felt tears swell your eyelids. Annoyed, she rolls her optics and responds "Like what I said, just a little lesson."
Quintessa maniacally chuckles, "It's too late worm, his wounds are severe to heal and his mind isn't in a good state. Give up already."
Witnessing how she harms Optimus and many others irritates you to the bone. You want to do something, no- anything! But in reality, you can't. You're a tiny weak human, who can do nothing else but, wish for your Prime to be back...

Bayverse History Rewrite!
So. Here it is, folks. Calling this a graveyard of stars from now on/
My cliff notes version of Bayverse History, but it makes sense (to me at least and things will get weird. Enjoy!
These uh. Turned out to not be all that cliff notey lmao
Ok so for this, we're gonna take it back. By like. A lot.
Starting with Grimlock and his Dinobots.
In AOE Optimus calls them legendary warriors, ancient, and all that. So, in this, that's what they are.
12 Billion Years Ago: The Dinobots are Sparked, living on Cybertron with the Predacons before The Fallen Megatronus slaughters them, casting Grimlock and his followers off Cybertron.
10 billion Years Ago: The Fallen has to contend with the Knights, followers of Prima who were created by the combined genius of Onyx and Alamgamus Prime to be one of Cybertron's "Great Protectors"
6 Billion Years Ago: The 13 Primes have fallen into ruin and death, leaving only The Fallen left on Cybertron to guide their people and the Age of Expansion begins, leading the the start of the Cybertronian Empire. Sentinel Prime (called something else before his Primacy) is Sparked.
5 Billion Years Ago: The Knights have become the Knights of Iacon lead by Quintessa, safe guarding the Entrance to the Spark, the only way to reach Primus. The Fallen has been exploding stars to harvest more Energon for his war machines, slowly expanding the Empire past their own galactic boarders.
4 Billion Years Ago: Our sun is formed, and its gravity pulls in the dead husk of a sleeping god, which over time forms Earth.
2 Billion Years Ago: The Fallen senses Unicron and chases down the signal, finding a new-star and a planet slowly forming life. He makes plans to return to harvest the star once it is settled, in an effort to kill Unicron.
1 Billion Years Ago: The Quintessons attack and the Cybertronian Empire collaspes. The Legendary Matrix of Leadership chooses Sentinel Prime to lead Cybertron, and the Caste System is implemented to keep order. Megatron is Sparked. In a last ditch effort to save Cybertron Sentinel casts out the Knights after making a deal with Quintessa, only for them to have been one step ahead and had stolen Quintessa's Staff, rendering the Quintesson Army useless.
900 Million Years Ago: Sentinel wins the Quintesson War and takes all the Cybertronians created by them into the masses. Any rebellion against the System is swiftly put down even as dissent rises.
800 Million Years Ago: The Matrix goes dormant. The Fallen has entered the Milky Way.
700 Million Years Ago: Megatron rises to power and dissent turns to rebellion on the few colonies Cybertron has managed to keep.
600 Million Years Ago: Sentinel crushes the rebellions and puts Megatron to work as a heavy laborer, and he eventually wins his freedom from that by becoming a gladiator.
500 Million Years Ago: Quintessa creates Lockdown to hunt for her staff and to collect her Knights for their betrayal. Orion Pax is Sparked.
400 Million Years Ago: Orion meets Megatron, and the Decepticons rise to fame.
300 Million Years Ago: War breaks out, and Sentinel struggles to maintain control. The Autobots are formed, rallying behind Ultra Magnus of the Elite Guard (a knock off Knights of Iacon) and Orion Pax, who has split from Megatron due to ideological differences.
250 Million Years Ago: Orion Pax becomes Optimus Prime, chosen by Primus to remove Sentinel from power, but who still remains a mentor to the young Prime.
200 Million Years Ago: Optimus makes the decision to send the Allspark into space in the hopes that Megatron would never get his hands on it.
150 Million Years Ago: Lockdown has captured the Dinobots and is hunting the Knights down one by one. Primus is dead. Cybertron is abandoned. The Fallen feels the death of his creator and goes even more mad, focusing on Unicron.
100 Million Years Ago: The Knights crash land on prehistoric Earth and fall into a deep stasis. Quintessa stops by and glasses part of the planet to start rebuilding her army to destroy Primus, not knowing that the planet itself is Unicron.
65 Million Years Ago: The Allspark lands on Earth, causing a mass extinction. It immediately starts influencing all life on the planet to become smarter, more resilient, and for humanity to be created early. Chaos and Creation coming together to form us.
20 Million Years Ago: The Fallen finds Earth and sets up the Harvester. He is betrayed and cast out, but not before he ends up nearly wiping out most of the intelligent life on the planet.
10 Million Years Ago: Megatron has found the Allspark, but crashes into the Arctic and is in stasis.
10,000 Years Ago: Humanity has made a comeback thanks to the Allspark and is spreading across the continents. An ancient culture (now extinct) worshiped the Allspark, and their descendants are known as being the best and brightest, star touched, crazy. The Autobots have found the planet the Allspark is on and are enroute.
1,000 Years Ago: The Knights are awakened by Merlin. The Cult of Unicron has its beginning. Autobots and Decepticons land on Earth and duke it out, then go into hiding, searching for the Harvester, bc Energon is scarce and they're close to starving.
100 Years Ago: The First Seven discover the Allspark and the Hoover Dam is Built around it.
I'll add more indepth shit when i'm not beating my head against a wall. And yes I made Cybertronians super long lived in this so what. Feel free to ask my any questions about this!

Even More Bayverse stuff (this time with some pictures)
Tumblr media
The Allspark is sentient. In the beginning, all it thought was “create.” It was more of a drone in the beginning with a learning AI. Over time, the Allspark grew in knowledge as well as gaining more sentience. When Quintessa threw it out to space, the Allspark felt betrayal for the first time. Since its inception, the Allspark was always surrounded by Someone in some way. When in space, that was the first time the Allspark felt loneliness. When it crashed on Earth it waited to one day be found and returned home. Then it was discovered by humans. The Allspark had expected to be treated the same way it used to be. Instead, the Allspark was experimented on and experienced pain. This greatly angered the Allspark and its creations during the first movie were violent as a reaction to this anger. Then Sam forced it into the spark of Megatron. This was the first time the Allspark felt death. It’s sentience, however, lived on. When Sam dropped the Allspark fragment, it created the Apliancebots to kill Sam out of revenge. Then Sam became the Allspark’s new host. The Allspark purposely made Sam live a nightmare, only forcing its great knowledge in times it knew were most inconvenient. It was when Jetfire spoke of the Primes sacrificing themselves to save humanity that the Allspark would start to question itself. It was when Sam sacrified himself for Optimus and the Primes graced him with their presence that the Allspark saw there was more to humanity than how it was treated by Sector Seven. I’m also making it that the Allspark can only change hosts if the host dies/is destroyed or the host chooses to let it go to a new host. When first connecting to Sam, the Allspark kept that information away from Sam. After the 2nd movie’s ending, the Allspark gave Sam the choice of either keeping it or letting Optimus become the new host. Though it expected Sam to choose the 2nd option since it gave Sam a hard time, Sam actually stayed as its host. This was because Sam wanted to feel important and didn’t want to go back to being a regular guy. (I’m making it that this feeling has always followed Sam. He always felt like a loser and it was during the first movie that he truly felt special and he didn’t want to let that go. So instead of the 2nd movie of him wanting to be a normal guy, it instead is him trying to be a normal guy but having trouble doing so as he can’t catch that feeling of being special anymore.) 
Tumblr media
If Sam has the Allspark, why did the government not let him work with NEST? Sam might have had an important Cybertronain technology part of his brain, however, he had not shown any skills necessary to work with them. Optimus agreed with this decision since working with NEST would put both Sam and the Allspark in danger. It was seen safer that Sam simply reintegrate into society and the Allspark be hidden within the masses. 
Staying with Sam, the Allspark gained some sass. “Witwicky charm.” For fun, the Allspark would randomly give information to Sam in the middle of the night. When Sam ever tried to question this behavior, the Allspark would jokingly say “You killed the future of my home. I think this is fair” even though the Allspark did somewhat forgive Sam at this time. Basically they’re frenemies. 
Tumblr media
I forgot Sam mentioned Sentinel Prime’s ship during the Fallen movie. Since Alpha Trion can have random predictions he might have also uploaded this information to the Allspark. Since Alpha Trion doesn’t get full predictions, he only saw information about Sentinel’s ship but not that Sentinel was working alongside the future Decepticons. So the Allspark knew about the ship even though it wasn't on Cybertron during the war. It didn’t warn Sam about Sentinel as the prediction wasn’t full. I think Alpha Trion saw the destruction of Cybertron and thought he could prevent this by storing more energon…which eventually led to them finding Earth and Megatronus fighting them and then starting the war. In a way, Alpha Trion made his prediciton come true by trying to prevent it. Might change it that this specific prediction led to the Star Harvestor being created instead of a prediction that the Allspark might be lost. Or maybe a mixture of both. I might make it that the Primes wanted to make their own “Primes” or ultimate creations just like the Creators before them by having disciples. Alpha Trion chose Sentinel. Megatronus chose Megatron. The other disciples of the Primes most likely sided with Sentinel and sadly died in war as they were most likely targets since the Fallen had said only a Prime could kill him. The Fallen only knew one Prime still lived, but couldn’t pinpoint who it was. Because of this, anyone who was considered a disciple was a main target. When Sentinel made a deal with Megatron, The Fallen could sense he was not a “True Prime.” The reason why The Fallen fears a “True Prime” is that the Creators made it so that a True Prime could kill another True Prime. This was done so that none of the lower soldiers would rise up against the True Primes. This was because they believed they had full control of the True Primes and that whenever they were gone the True Primes could lead decently well on their own. They didn’t make a failsafe that their own creations would kill them as it would never happen. Even Prima, who prided himself with his future vision, did not think to see the future of his creations or that they could lead to his death. 
Okay re-hearing the scene on loop I now hear "Sentinel Prime Mission" or something like that. Perhaps the Cube was given Sentinel's research on the Space Bridges (which either way the Cube would need Alpha Trion's predictions to know about this even as it was off Cybertron by that time. Alpha Trion saw that Sentinel was going to create something about exchanging mass far distances. Perhaps he didn't see this as part of the "destruction of Cybertron" prediction but either way he gave this info to the Cube and Allspark decided to be petty with Sam and use that random info to mess him up. )
I now realize Glados's song kinda fits Allspark XD
