got really hard into @sphnyspinspin hc of Priss being Silas's (accidental) daughter so I had to do a dumb chart with other points so I don't bite someone.
Wonder if others thought of at least one of the points I put here??
I also like @pansexual-queen hc of Sam as Priss dad lol
“There’s a war brewing…between the new world order, and the newest…”
I wish we could have seen what MECH’s original agenda was, because my biggest question is, “What war?”
I assume Silas was speaking about a “turning of ages” here, rather than a typical war, but I still want to know what huge thing was happening in the world before the discovery of the bots caused him to change plans.
The writers didn’t explore any of that, but Silas' words and his reaction to Cybertronians do have other interesting implications:
For all his faults, I admire Silas for his insight into what the presence of the bots meant for humanity on a practical level. He took one look at the mechanical titans, and ascertained that humanity would be in trouble unless it adapted to the newcomers and did something to close (or at least decrease) the power gap between the two races. Or, rather, that those who didn’t adapt and close the gap would be left behind, since I doubt Silas cared about the future of humanity as a whole.
Obviously, Silas was not going to let himself be one of those left behind. When his first attempt at putting himself on an equal footing with the bots didn’t work, he went so far as to grovel at the feet of Megatron—arguably the most powerful Cybertronian on the planet at the time.
Of course, that didn’t end so well for him, but the point still stands:
Silas was an opportunist. He recognized what walked on the earth and what it would likely mean for humans in the future.
He misjudged and miscalculated, but he was definitely onto something, and I would have loved to see it go somewhere.
For the TFP!kids being other + being turned into sparklings AU, how enraged would be the bots when they realise the cons are in custody of their sparklings? The Nemesis is about to flood with energon soon, cause there's no way they won't launch an assault to get then back (besides the fact that if they don't get them back June will do it herself, and that spells endless torture and horror beyond imagination for all parties involved)
Also, I think that one of the few reasons bots and cons would willingly work together without being at each other throats would be if the kids were kidnapped by MECH
Would Raf ever shift to his root mode? Chunkiest dragon pup turns into the chunkiest sparkling ever
June would be the only one that could coax Raf to shift into his root-mode. Yep, he’s a chunky, orange and yellow sparkling. Very round. More like newspark with his limited mobility and milky optics, but it will happen very rarely. Like count in a single hand, that few times.
Raf absolutely hates being in his root-mode at this point. He can barely move, his senses shift differently that’s frightens his limited view. It’s far easier for him to cope in his alt-mode.
Eventually when his optics fully clear to a bright red, he’ll be far more tolerant to switch to his two-legged form to toddle around.
Ratchet definitely taken pictures of the confused newspark before the wailing sets in.
The little Predacon distrusts the medic for bit. Raf remembers the coding-stall to keep from switching into his alt-mode. It takes a godly amount of granite and basalt to get him back in his lap. Not even the heedy call of heated plating and expert digits scratching his back could tempt him.
It’s a bit hilarious how jealous Ratchet would get that Raf would waddle his way to Optimus for his cuddles afterwards.
If the kids were taken by Decepticons, June would be able to tolerate it. Provided the trio is well-cared for and no experimentation is involved. Health checks, sure. But anything else deeply invasive to the pursuit of Knowledge and Progress. Ohhhh, the Things she would do. She will make rain E N E R G O N…
Humanity may have forgotten its roots, but Earth and its inhabitants are full of hunger.
Mudmen, affectionately coined for humans for their extreme adaptability, had held their own with and against Others, waging their own cycles of war and peace. After all, humans are both prey and predator as well.
Across the world, they are many tales of animal brides and grooms and unintended human spouses and children stolen away. There’s a unique quirk in humanity; magic takes well to their bodies and genes…
Should Airachnid ever, ever let her temptation override her self-preservation to target a nearby Jack… she’ll live just long enough to regret it.
June lived in a far darker time of sapient beings devouring other sapient beings. She won’t be moved by the spider’s tears or her regret. Not at all. Airachnid had simply failed to consider that far larger predators can and will eat her.
Her Insecticons could pose an issue with their sheer numbers, but June had far more experience hunting more gruesome beings. For all of their brute strength and superior sense, they hadn’t learned to truly fear what lurks in the dark, sunless depths of the sea, nor the pitiless shadows of the land. The nightmares that croon from the darkest pits of their hearts.
Soundwave will get a glimpse of what truly is beneath June’s civil mask from the whispering remains of Jack’s dreams upon waking up, and will personally gift-wrap Airachnid to June’s immense maw should the spider try something stupid.
There are reasons why the sparklings would have set guardians among Decepticon High Command. Raf may be with Predaking, but no one is stupid enough to go toe-to-toe with a protective Predacon. Especially since Predaking keeps Raf very close to him.
Should any of the kids fall under MECH’s terrible hands, June would already be on top of it. The Foundation behind Jasper Hospital would lend its own massive resources to the cause for the children’s Other heritage and MECH’s purpose of “technological advancement.”. For there are Rules in place. Treaties and Conventions from unspeakable horrors. And MECH has broken them.
They will track by any means necessary. Any. There’s nowhere on Earth Silas/Leland/MECH could hide and won’t be found.
It will be a Hunt, especially if the Esquivels get involved (-scales set aflame and a massive wingspan that blocked out the sun-) for Mr. Esquivel is definitely not human…
You gotta feel bad for Knock Out in The Human Factor since the signal that he and the Decepticons thought was Breakdown, only to discover that his boyfriend's corpse was being used as a life support machine for Silas.
Even you have to admit that you kinda cheered when Knock Out decided to make Silas pay by tormenting and using him as an experiment for everything Silas did to Breakdown.
Granted, it ended up becoming a bad thing later in the series. But it was still awesome to see Knock Out revenging his boyfriend and having some closure.
The final one, Silas. As an antagonist, I wanted to make him look a lot darker and more angular than the others. I made him an earth pony both to round out earth, unicorn, pegasus trio with June and Fowler and to emphasize his strength. Plus for someone as obsessed with aliens as him to be an earth pony felt a little ironic. He obviously wouldn't have his cutie mark visible so i included it next to him. It's the sword of Damocles, his final trump card in the show and what he thinks he is.
You know what would be cool? If in TFP, Megatron’s flagrant use of dark energon to revive whole swaths of cybertronian battlefields (the ones on Earth from presumed 6 years ago) actually has consequences and that the Autobots couldn’t get rid of every single zombie. How cool would it be if MECH came into the story preprepared with cybertronian knowledge if THEIR inciting incident in TFP was because and aimless zombie bot wandered too close to civilisation only for it to be handled by MECH and Silas gets a free corpse to study (and reference for future use)?
Idk but if you’re gonna start your pilot by including zombie hordes as your main plot I think it would actually help theme your series around that and the shit that happens afterwards-
Does shattered glass change personalities too? Cause if so,here are my headcanons for SG! Tfp (adult) humans
Fowler- kinda shy,doesn't talk a lot and is probably very like,, stoic and stern (?). He's more internally emotional than normal fowler, probably overthinks things a lot and generally experiences emotions more . He has issues with standing up for what he believes is right and for himself in general
June - she doesn't care about anyone,really. Also selfish compared to her normal self. And less silly if you get me . She's either the distant mother or doesn't exist in Jack's life . Girlboss,gaslight,gatekeep. She isn't kind and she isn't sweet,she's probably more on the cruel side.
Silas- for one,he probably has self confidence issues. And is probably more normal!fowler-like, being a talkative guy with dad humour . He's probably. just a guy yk. He cares about others deeply and probably does anything to help them.
I feel like generally the SG versions of June and Fowler are them but without the silliness and the traits that make them warm emotionally (I'm having a hard time conveying what i mean ok)
The next set of sketches for the characters of my fanfic!
Here we have our lovely squad of antagonists, which includes a couple familiar names and some unfamiliar ones...who ever could these people be? *hint hint nudge nudge* (I'll probably come back and edit the tags on this post if I remember once they're officially revealed :D)
side note but tara just looks so fluffy i wanna pet him
