After reading this new chapter (Chapter 35) I would be surprised if you just annihilate the slug that was Transformers: Robots in Disguise, and just create a new story/side-AU/Much Better Sequel about Optimus/Thirteen’s New Life going absolutely ape shit and become the new Antagonist after all the with his been through.
Because, after all this pain and suffering, all this loss, being forced to endure injustice, being betrayed, witnessing multiple times of the corruption that is the high counsel— losing everything that you’ve fought so hard for so long— your gonna lose it. Some may argue that that’s not what Optimus is like, but this is just my own thoughts. Either way this new chapter was amazing, not only is Autoway now in the eyes of the counsel but we also are introduced to a new prime! Poor Autoway he must be so tired of during with all this shit. Can’t wait until the new chapter! And remember— Your Amazing!
Thank you for the praise and your enthusiastic thoughts on my work! Let me tell you, Optimus still has absolute hell to go through that he hasn't even conceived of yet. He needs to learn, and learn he will.
RID2015 might as well be dead with how I am moving this fic along. I may keep a few smaller features, but lets just say that when all is said and done, Optimus will not be very pleased to have to drag himself out of the Well yet again just to deal with ANOTHER corrupt council. Honestly he embodies this meme:

Optimus Prime x Megatron fic recs!!
Tumblr media
Homesick For A Memory by Eisengrave, Maelikki - [M, 9k w., Bay Movies]
Even Primes can lose their faith. But sometimes, their failed Protectors make good on their word given long ago.
(weird little fixit for AoE because we stan a protective Megatron and an Optimus who is finally tired of his human hamsters. Also, homecoming.)
~ugly crying, screaming on my pillow, rolling around on the floor
The Silver Lining by GeminiWishes - [Teen and up, 38k w., Transformers Animated 2007]:
After Optimus was expelled from the Autobot Academy, he had no sense of what to do or where to go. Desperate for purpose, he ends up on a mining crew that travels the galaxy. But when their ship is attacked, Optimus' life will change forever.
Whether or not he'll be able to handle those changes is yet to be determined.
~I ran around my room on all fours reading this
Some Kind Of Forever by auri_mynonys (FAVE) - [E, 8625 w., TFP]:
A chance meeting in a bar near the Pits brings Orion Pax and Megatronus together.
~I freaking love this fic, I'm so glad it was one of the first I ever read
Adeste Fideles by Legitconcrusher (FAVE) [Teen and up, TFP, 57,632+ w, ongoing]:
“Oh, indulge me, Optimus. How many times have you answered your desire’s calls to walk among these pitiful creatures…in the flesh?”
In which Optimus shares with his greatest foe, and former friend - Megatron, the one time a year he allows himself to feel amid the throes of their War within a Christmas market.
The angsty slow burn Christmas AU no one asked for.
~absolutely wonderful to read and incredible writing♡♡♡♡
Gaining Perspective by Dragonlingdar [Teen and up, BayVerse, 105,732 w., Ongoing]:
Megatron and Optimus are turned into humans by a prototype weapon Starscream uses against them. In order for Megatron to get his revenge and Optimus to free himself of Megatron, they must reclaim their original bodies. However, will they still be Optimus Prime and Megatron by the time they do?
~I hyperfixated on this fic for a whole month after finishing it
Contact by auri_mynonys (FAVE) [E, 98,747 w., TFP]:
Orion Pax knows there's a word for what Megatronus means to him. He just can't quite put his finger on what it is.
Which is probably how he missed the moment where he asked Megatronus to marry him.
~Slow Burn♡♡♡♡♡
Plus One by auri_mynonys [E, 64631 w., TFP]:
Megatronus has a party to attend. A high-caste date will lend him status in the eyes of his fellow gladiators, and Orion Pax is all too happy to play the part...
~this fic was infuriating to read, I loved every second of it
Songs Of Metal And Sparks by EbonyAura [Teen and up, 58,741 w., Rock n' Roll AU, TFP]:
Imagine the Transformers Prime universe where war is nonexistent, and instead of the Autobot and Decepticon factions, it's the Autobot and Decepticon rock bands.
Imagine that both bands are nearly world famous, yet have no idea the other exists.
Imagine that Cybertron's festival of music is approaching, and with it, the chance for a lucky upcoming band to go on a world tour.
Imagine that both bands, ecstatic for the chance to finally reach world fame, are going to the festival.
~this cured my teenage heart that didn't get to read nice cute stuff like this
Optimus Prime Is Destined To Die!! by Chuzillla [G, 86,146 w, ongoing]:
Orion Pax is your typical archivist from a functionalist free universe and lives a peaceful life, but after dying tragically in a transport incident he’s reincarnated as Optimus Prime of the hit action novel Songs of the Spark, the beautiful but aloof eldest prince of the Prime lineage...who is a pathetic side character doomed to die a tragic death at the hands of the tyrannical Duke Megatron.
Of course his darling little brother Rodimus Prime is the precious hero and puts an end to Megatron’s reign, but Orion has no intention of dying a pathetic death! No! Not again! He wants to live damnit! So begins the attempts of a pax-turned-prime turning over a new leaf in the hope of living another day. Little does he know there’s a bit more to Optimus than a pathetic side character…
~I love this fic so. damn. much.
Lunch Date by Chuzilla [Teen and up, 6,000+ w, Earthspark, crack]:
With a new cafe opening at G.H.O.S.T headquarters, Optimus invites Megatron to try something new.
~fluffy and funny♡♡♡
At First Sight by Lyricality (FAVE) [M, 27,000+ w.]:
Optimus is the last of the Primes; Megatron is the greatest of Kaon's gladiatorial warriors. Their shared destiny - Optimus is certain - just needs a push in the correct direction.
~help I got obsessed with this fic and I can't get out
To give (in) by 0 (only_elsewhere) [FAVE][M, 10,000+ w, Earthspark]:
After the war, Optimus confesses.
~aaashhksdkkklkosljdhjh
Victory Condition by astolat [E, 37,000+ w, TF Gen1]
“Do you want me to tell you a story?” Megatron said mockingly. “You won’t like it, Prime. It’s not a very nice one.”
~cave in fic with poetry and the heart wrenching story of Megatron's origins - my beloved
Cooking Off by zuzeca [E, 2000 w., IDW G1]:
Megatron and Optimus find themselves in an awkward position and learn some extremely personal information about each other.
~ Good reading ;)

WWII tfa Humanformers Headcanon: Channel World
I got this idea when I was binge watching German war films two months ago (still watching more and more now). I easily came up with a human version of Blitzwing (he’s German, anyway), and then I assigned positions/ nationalities to other tfa characters I made as the main cast in my fiction Heroic Nonsense.
Characters/Relationships:
Blitzwing/Bumblebee
Megatron/Optimus Prime
Strika/Lugnut
The background:
After the war, the Cybertronians became quite conceited and joked about humans’ lives being too short and easy. Sari just made a machine/game that can provide users with immersive experiences as humans in a certain era. She decided to let her friends try human life back in 1944.
The Cybertronians were assigned random roles on earth in 1944 (based on their original identities…). They have video calls once in a while in a special comm link in the game, which they later call “Channel World”, because they’re calling from different parts of the world.
Blitzwing:
Blitzwing is of course thrown into the worst case scenario. He is at the East front, retreating… as a 19-year-old German soldier. He squeaked a lot, wet his pants, ran away and was dragged back, saw many deaths and injuries and was captured by Strika’s troops and let go, because it was Strika that caught him. He cried on the phone to Bumblebee saying he missed him, but refused to stop the game, because he didn’t want to be seen as a coward.
Bumblebee:
Bumblebee is assigned to South America as a Mexican boy, 17. He was quite contented with his identity first, but after seeing Blitzwing’s situation he was desperate to go and meet his lover. He signed up for Mexican Air Forces that fought for the Allies with great efforts, only to find himself bombing Blitzwing’s side…
Strika:
Strika was assigned to Soviet Union. The reason being that she reminds me of experienced Red Army women soldiers with her characterization… She is a leader of a squad, 24 or 25. Fought bravely to Berlin. Captured a German soldier (Blitzwing). But he ran away ( she let him go).
Megatron:
Almost no doubt Megatron was made a high ranked Soviet official, in his 30s, and in the battlefield as well. This is because in tf g1 there is an implication of Decepticons being the Soviet side of the Cold War. Megatron and Strika will be a crucial factor why Blitzwing survived in the POW camp after the war ended.
Optimus:
Of course. He’s an American soldier. White male, 28 or 29. Optimus is closest to the position of an observer. His humanoid character is almost like the “default mode”. He went to Europe to attend the war with his friend Lugnut.
Lugnut:
African American soldier, only a little younger than Optimus. Also fought in the war and laughed at his best friend on Cybertron Blitzwing when he got too immersed and called him “American scum” on video call. Will join civil rights movements in US after the war.
I may put this idea into fiction, or maybe will just post random short stories under this au. It requires a lot of historic backgrounds and I’m still lacking time now. But later. Anything can happen. Let’s call it Channel World AU.

I was holding this back since I promised an angst free Christmas but it ain’t Christmas anymore!
So according to the TF Wiki Jack’s father left them. So imagine at some point durning the Timeskip AU his father tries to get back in contact with him. And Jack ends up telling him to buzz off since he already has two fathers now (Fowler and Optimus)
GOD Ok so I am going with the idea that, Jack's father flat out walked out when Jack was rather young, and remembers it.
If he had reasons for doing so, he never made it clear. All June knew from his end, was that she got the divorce papers in the mail, and was left with just what was in the house, and not a drop of child support from him.
Just left them behind, wanting to wholly act as if he didn't have them in his life for years.
So when Jack and June saw him at their door, having been waiting on Raf and Miko to arrive for dinner that night, Jack's first instinct was to slam the door in his face.
A less than grand homecoming, but a deserved one. June stepped outside to speak with him, and Fowler checked in on Jack, who was seething. By the time Miko and Raf arrived, he was gone and they noted how Jack and June seemed not themselves. It was Raf who asked what the matter was, and after a moment of hesitation, June revealed that Jack's father, her ex-husband, had paid a visit after a near decade of absence in both their lives.
From Jack's less than excited reaction, it was clear he was not a fan.
Fowler tried to console him, and it at least eased Jack a little, knowing he did have Fowler to rely on, who'd stepped up for him when it all came to it.
When the kids returned to base the next few days, it was obvious to the bots that something was bugging Jack. After given permission, Miko gave them the run down, and all were quite concerned as well as relieved that no harm had come to Jack at the very least.
Optimus most of all, was growing worried at how Jack would seemed uneasy, angry at random times, especially as he revealed his bio father had persisted in trying to connect with him now of all times in his life.
He'd always seen Jack to be strong, calm and thoughtful so seeing him so enraged was something that concerned Optimus. Taking him aside, Optimus would speak to the young man, expressing that he had a family now. One both human, and alien, that had grown greatly in the years past, and...well, Jack had a father in Fowler, did he not?
That made Jack think, not just about Fowler, who had indeed taken on a parental role after Team Prime's return to Cybertron, in helping raise him but...also how Optimus had equally cared for ...well all of them, as a guardian and psuedo-parental figure that...he was glad to have in his life.
He thanked the Prime, for the talk. And for all he'd done too, in the past.
The next time Jack crossed paths with his bio father, he simply stated he already had a father in his life. And that 3 would be one too many.
The confused look on his face was one Jack couldn't help but laugh at, but it wasn't his place to ask or know about Jack's 2 fathers.

I got way too many ideas, and now they're performing crossovers:
Like Do as the Romans had Done getting zapped into G1.
June: There is no such thing as the perfect man.
G1 Optimus making puns and being sweet with the kids when their Optimus and Smokescreen are handling new active hotspots that may be their ticket home.
June: Dammit.
June's internal struggle with G1 OP because she's has to deal the intimate knowledge she banged his alternative self and knows the sight, taste, and feeling of his dick as well as how sensitive his audials are.
Cyber!Earth inhabitants - newly transformed, acquired, and/or conquered - appearing in the Bayverse!AU where Mikaela is a Dragon.
Bayverse (Autobots, United States military, and the Foundation) is flipping out because of the active Titan. But said Titan refuses to budge away from the shores of Diego Garcia base, much less let anyone else into its space of its city-mode.
It's gonna be awkward for Bayverse!Optimus since he's a Prime of Prima's spark-lineage, and Titan doesn't like that particular Prime.
Diego Garcia will become quite a hotspot because not only does it host space alien refugees and the first Dragon in several ages, but a living city and quite a few active practitioners and alchemists.
The confusion by Cyber!Earth inhabitants have with Bayverse since their Earth is terrifyingly different: these oceans have limits? There are no catastrophic storms or immense whirlpools? Where are the towering forests of semi-sentient trees and the deserts filled with ghostly spirits? The cities here are bustling alive with millions and not empty hellscapes of metal and winter? Plus, them trying to hash out the existing agreements by the other Primes with the Bayverse!Autobots.
More Other!TFP!Humanformers and G1 because I totally imagine Miko, the tiny War-Forged Seeker sparkling she is, would try her damn best to take a huge bite out of a Quintesson if it ever showed its tentacles and five-faces in that verse.
The June-is-Megatronus!AU meets Bayverse: a moment where she accidentally transports herself, injured Optimus, and Smokescreen to Diego Garcia.
The Hammer is still functional because June picked up some things Ratchet... and then through caution to wind by hooking up her own systems and cabling into Optimus and basically jumpstarted him like a living battery, spark to spark. (TFP!Ratchet would be yelling at her. Bayverse! definitely done so)
TFP!Optimus is having some weird visions by the Matrix, June goes into a trance and walks into the sea with no notice, and Smokescreen is Smokescreen.
Optimus vomits salt water and cockles and aquatic life as June hauls out a revived Jazz... who then stabs her out of reflex and she freezes the mech out of defense.
Now, there are multiple people having a meltdown or a crisis, but June has an idea (a dangerous and ridiculous one) on how to get back to their universe.

what would the terran's reactions be to like.... megatronus prime/the fallen or liege maximo?? or any of the 13 originals tbh, and that in alot of continuities op is kind of implied (if not straight up said) to be the thirteenth?
Yknow, actually this gives me a great opportunity to somewhat explain how my AU has the Primes.
I may write a fic off of this, actually.
Anyway: here we go.
Prima
All are somewhat enamored with the whole concept of them basically being their god. Finds their rumored appearance quite cool, and finds it cool that the Matrix is in their sword.
The Fallen/Megatronus Prime
Not quite so fond. Weird, creepy, none of them like him. Thrash genuinely could not roll his optics any harder at his ‘tragic backstory’ that people wrote to make him sympathetic.
Alpha Trion
Kinda interesting. Kept track of history, ran an archive, held onto the matrix between Primes after the others were all dead, originally thought to be basically immortal with how long he lived? Even though he wasn’t actually a true prime, apparently. And did eventually die, but body was never actually recovered. Mysterious, and kind of interesting, overall.
Nexus Prime
Cool as balls. There’s not much else to say, they just think he’s cool as hell. Still don’t quite understand the whole combining thing, but it sounds a little cooler now.
Vector Prime
There are so many possibilities, that it simply blew their tiny newspark processors. Probably the coolest so far.
Solus Prime
Tied with Vector. Originally from the original myth, they weren’t too interested. But hearing the bit from Optimus completely separate from myth, they immediately loved Solus. Thrash loves the hammer, Hashtag thinks it’s very girlboss of him to even exist, Twitch loves the whole ‘can make really cool weapons with the hammer’ thing, Jawbreaker thinks the story overall is pretty inspiring, and kinda cute (albeit somewhat tragic) that he died very quickly after his partner, and was the one who caused the ‘partners/conjuxes come to the hall as well’ thing, Nightshade is very enamored with him being trans. Overall, it’s a hard tie with Vector.
Amalgamous Prime
The shifting bit is awesome. They understand the Decepticons a bit better, and understand better why they even exist in the first place. HT also thinks he has mad rizz for having seduced an Autobot like that.
Liege Maximo
The fact that this bitch is meant to be like their version of satan is kinda… they’re honestly perhaps 5% impressed, at most. And the whole ‘point of origin for all decepticons’ is really laughable to them.
“…at least he’s kinda sexy…?” - Jawbreaker
Alchemist Prime
Kinda boring, but also super cool in that chill uncle way. Also fun that he fucked off from the war and ran a bar. Amazing. Quality decision making skills.
“Like Tarantulas, but in a holy way. And a lot more popular/intimidating.” - Nightshade
Onyx Prime
They think he’s kinda cool, being a big beastformer space pope. Nightshade and Jawbreaker especially like him.
Micronus Prime
Twitch thinks he’s kinda cool, being probably as little as her. Really shows that someone as small as her can be great like that.
Quintus Prime
They all have a unique fascination with him, even if pretty boring. Nightshade is especially interested by the fact that he’s the scientist of the bunch.
Thirteen
The original written myth of Thirteen is incredibly bland to them, and Thrash remarked that clearly they didn’t do a good job. However, when brought the idea of them being Amalgamous’s sparkling, a shifter just like him, and agender, they were all far more interested, and found them a little bit cooler. However, with still so little known, they’re not very interesting compared to the others.
Nova Prime
The fact that he’s known for having not been the best person, yet still respectable enough as ‘The Master Kindler’ and having reintroduced Kindling to table now that the wells were dying, really interests them. Also find it cool how Nova is genderfluid.
“Girlboss, gaslight, gatekeep. 👌” - Hashtag
Sentinel Prime
They’re pretty confident that the very fact that Optimus refused to say his name is enough to say he’s clearly not a very good person, and being told of all that he’d done in his time, they all decidedly hated him.
Optimus Prime
Optimus refused to share very much about himself, beyond his own achievements throughout his reign. They think even higher of him than before. Megatron later revealed that a downside is that he is a loner/introvert & a/antisocial, and usually rather cold/not very personable with people outside of his personal circle of ‘loved ones’.
Rodimus Prime
Nothing was said to his current location, but was noted that he is currently ‘in-training’/not fully a ‘Prime’ yet (won’t be until Op steps down/passes), generally quite polite and sweet if shy, quite strongly religious but really quiet about it, Captain to a crew on a neutral ship, remains neutral himself rather than aligned, a peacetime leader compared to Optimus being a ‘wartime leader’, and technically the true Prime of the reign the Terrans were born under, so they’d be Rodimus’s rather than Optimus’s.
Twitch is even more fond of him, and the others a little more impressed/interested into the prospect of doing a little research into him and those comics.
«—-–-—»
This is canon divergent, so things don’t completely align up with canon.
I happen to HC Solus as TransMasc/FtM & had a female lover, Amalgamous as the original Decepticon leader & have had an ex-Autobot lover + two sparklings, Alchemist as being a ‘peacetime leader’/kept the peace until he died (of old age), and Nova as having revived the practice of Kindling and very protective over sparklings + genderfluid.
Thx.

The idea of Smokescreen being a medic is such a big brain galaxy move, I'm obsessed with it. I'd imagine Smokescreen would be much more passive compared to his canon counterpart and perhaps a bit less energetic, since he's still reeling from Alpha Trion and Sigma-17. It could still be like canon, where Smokescreen wants to prove himself, but this time, it's so he can show that's he's now good enough and capable to help again, instead of just being in the sideline and being sad when he could be useful (Smokey just buries that trauma as deep as he can)
Also, an idea to consider: Smokescreen, in this AU, probably wouldn't be as excited around Optimus. Like, of course he's nervous about meeting Optimus Prime, but he wouldn't be as hyped. Now, Ratchet, on the other hand, Smokescreen would absolutely be asking him to teach him and stuff and how to get better.
(Also would the Rescue Bots know that Smokescreen is alive, and vice versa? I'd imagine Optimus would've informed them about his arrival, but maybe he'd thought that could be too risky or something, so the Rescue Bots just thinks he's dead. Or maybe Optimus tells them about this new bot that was a Rescue Bot and that they'll send him there as soon as they could, and the team just gets reminded that they're one-bot short. There's so much fun potential there)
OOOOOOOOOOOO Y E S S S S S S S S
God imagine how fun Smokescreen's arrival is going to be. The Cons are absolutly flabbergasted because Wait A Fucking Moment That's A Rescue Bot Sigil- but luckily before they can bring Smokey to the Nemesis the Autobots show up to help him. Of course, when the dust settles and they see the insignia they also start freaking out, and while there's definitely a bit of suspicion because the Rescue Bots are supposed to be wiped out, he is able to prove it somehow and they start warming up to him
When Smokescreen learns that he's apparently one of the last living Rescue Bots....... yeah that shit hurts. It's rather ironic honestly, that the last Rescue Bot medic wasn't even forged one. He's absolutely going to give it his all in to prove himself and that he deserves his position and title as a Rescue Bot. He's still hurting and very much traumatized, but now he has a more tangible goal to focus on instead. This isn't like the Archives, this is the middle of an active war zone where anybody could be hurt at any second. He doesn't has time to think about his feelings, he can do that later (yeah this is going to be fun for him to deal with later)
and you BET Smokescreen's going to lose his shit when he realized Ratchet himself is here. Even before the war started getting more intense, Ratchet was legendary in the medical field. Smokescreen's read medical textbooks featuring the guy, he practically idolized him, so being given the opportunity to work with him? A dream come true. He asks so many questions and while normally Ratchet would've been annoyed by it all...... it's been a while since some's been able to keep up with all his "medical babble." And the kid's got spirit, the skill and knowledge (he wasn't spending his whole time with Trion twiddling his thumbs, he was reading any and every datapad even remotely related to medicine and science). He just needs more experience to polish it off
also, I don't know what to do with this idea, but I had a Thought of just..... slight miscommunication of intention between Smokey and the other Autobots. Because the Autobots want to keep him safe and Ratchet is aware of the fact Smokescreen a) has been in stasis for a couple millennia and b) has little experience working in a war environment. He has more experience as a field medic and natural disasters, not active combat
unfortunately for them, while there has been a lot of social class progression since the war started, Smokescreen's experienced none of it and is from right smack dab in the middle of it all where he could barely walk into a clinic without his position being questioned. The second he decided what he wanted to do with his life he was constantly having to look over his shoulder and more often than not had to fear for his life. He's had patients question his ability to treat them, he's been assigned "easier" patients because they doubted his abilities, instructors have graded him more harshly, hell he's even had other medical students try to explain things he already knew
The only people who've ever respected him and his abilities are his team, a few instructors at the academy who were on his side, and Alpha Trion, all of which are presumably dead. He's had it up to here with people underestimating him and it somewhat strains his relationship with the Autobots. And it's only made even worse by the fact that Smokey isn't going to say anything about it because in the past that's never accomplished anything except make more enemies and he really doesn't want to piss off the only other Autobots on this whole rock
again, do I know what to do with this or where to put it? Not really. It would definitely have to be something pretty early in the timeline so...... idk maybe that's what sparks the argument which gets Smokescreen out of the base and captured by the Cons
sPEAKING of that part, there's also the fun that could spark because of just..... how different Smokescreen would be received. He'd still be locked up, that's no question, but he's not a warrior. He's a Rescue Bot. And from the Decepticons perspective he might be the last one in existence. They're going to be way more careful when he's captured this time, not because he's more of a threat but because even when they get the Key he's still a VERY valuable prisoner
(also, completely separate, but I do really want to play around with the idea that Smokey as a field medic, who was presumably going to be deployed into dangerous locations, would have some kind of protection. Nothing lethal or even that powerful, but enough to save himself if need be. He doesn't use it very often, but he's really skilled with whatever it is and not afraid to be set out to do field repairs if need be. I'd also image he heavily abuses the Phase Shifter for this too when he gets his paws on it)
as for the other Rescue Bots :))))))
so them waking up on Earth at first was...... well, in the beginning it wasn't super different from canon. Their ship crashes, Optimus introduces them to Charlie. But then of course the realizations hit them. Cybertron is destroyed. There aren't any more Rescue Bots
Smokescreen
so now not only do they have to deal with hiding and adjusting to an entirely new and different planet but they have to do all that while also mourning their fifth and youngest member who's possibly been dead for thousands of years without them knowing
not a great time all things considered, and it honestly gets even worse upon realizing there are five members of the Burns family. And Cody...... honestly reminds them a lot of Smokescreen. Friendly, energetic, willing to help no matter what, desperately trying to prove himself....... it's almost painful how similar they are at times. It's kind of an accident that they get so close, but they've all silently promised to protect this kid who reminds them so much of their fallen friend. They would've gotten along so well had they met.
eventually Smokescreen is brought up. Maybe it was a slip of the tongue and someone was remembering The Good Old Days, or maybe it was just a bad day where Smokescreen's absence was more noticeable
and it...... hurts to talk about him, to only be able to talk about him in the past tense. That their human family never got to meet such an important part of their team, and never would. But at the same time, it's nice. To recall the good days, the laughs and pranks and study sessions they shared. Like they aren't letting him be forgotten even though he wasn't "officially" part of Sigma 17
and I'm going to be honest...... yeah I really don't know when the two sides should meet. There are so many possibilities with different vibes and angst and everything and just...... yeah I'm really torn
I do really like your idea though and I definitely think that could play a part in things. Maybe Optimus calls, says they found a new Rescue Bot but the Cons also know they exist so he's going to hold off on sending them over until things are safe. He doesn't know how long it will take, but he thought it would be a good idea to let them know this new Rescue Bot exists so they won't be surprised if/when they're Groundbridged over
and they're....... definitely really torn. On one hand, another Rescue Bot who survived!!! Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!! but again, on the other hand like you mentioned, this just reminds them they're a Bot short. Heatwave is the most huffy about the whole thing, and understandably so since he and Smokescreen were the closest. He knows that it's only natural and safest for the "new" Rescue Bot to be sent their way but it....... it feels wrong. Like they're replacing Smokescreen with somebody else
of course, when they actually meet Heatwave HARD pivots on that opinion, but that's still a ways into the future so :3

Human pets AU, Optimus Prime IDW/MTMTE
Human reader was bought from the human pet market when still a 'pup' only to be packed with other small humans to be 'trained' to fight in an illegal human fighting ring. They grew up harden/feral like but still kept a hidden level of intelligence that kept them alive all these years.
Cybertronians busted the illegal ring and, through many weird stumbles, came under Optimus possession. It was supposed to be a temporary foster care, but putting some much work and trust to them, he couldn't help but feel attached.
You were given to Optimus' care because many mechs knew and trusted in him enough to give you a new home where you could be rehabilitated by him.
It's a little tricky at first since you don't appear to trust anyone and it does take time for you to lower your guards, but Optimus has the patience of Saints.
He knows that you are more than a wild animal and he doesn't give up on you and slowly you start to trust him.
Your vocabulary may be extremely limited due to not being taught how to speak properly, but that doesn't mean you aren't smart. You can count and you can make complicated decisions when needed.
But you are far more than just a mindless bloodthirsty animal that you were raised and trained to become. You are smart even if you may not look or act like it always.
You've learned that by acting simple-minded or dumb you get ignored and don't need to work as much as those with higher intelligence. In a way that is both smart and lazy.
Optimus makes it his goal to properly train you how to live and not to fight. He knows that you have the potential to be something more than a fighter and he makes it his goal to help you recover.
It takes time, but you learn as you grow and you become a prime example of a healthy and smart human being, but you haven't forgotten your fighter past.
No, if anything, you are now more dangerous than you ever were before Optimus because you can now hide your past skills and you can act properly according to the situation.
You are very mature for your age, as you have seen so much over the years. You trust Optimus with your life because he was the only one who gave you a new chance and you kinda turn into the Prime's bodyguard.
Optimus couldn't wish for a better or more loyal friend and the same goes for you. Both of you have deep trust in each other and you are both ready to fight for each other's sake.

P-food anon here. In what way was Optimus idealized? Like did others see him close to a father figure like in fanon G1 or a wise leader like in Tfp?
The Praxian Seeker dynamic is also interesting. Are they sister frametypes or sister cities? Are they called Praxians based off of their frame or because they were from Praxus? Is it the same with seekers?
Is Green okay? She's usually organic in stories so I didn't know if she's alive or not. You said some Cybertronians didn't make it and Green is a lot more fragile due to being organic.
I apologize for so many questions, my mind was rambling.
I love rambling!! Don’t hold back, P-food anon
I’ll be providing you links to TFwiki pages BUT they’re not entirely accurate for my AU. It’s just so you have an idea of what it is :3
Idealized Hero
Optimus is seen as this powerful, perfect, determined hero. It’s unrealistic, of course, but in the middle of a war, it’s almost like a way to cope. To think that they will win no matter what because “Hey! Optimus in on our side!”
And he needs to keep that role to maintain their hope. That makes him unable to make real connections with his crew (with the exception of some that knew him when he was Orion Pax)
Is he a father figure to some? Absolutely. He’s the one most Autobots look up to (Bumblebee looks up to a lot of bots but Optimus is THE big role model for him)
This situation he’s put in makes him extremely frustrated. He wants connection. He wants true friendships. Still, he understands he needs to play his role as the perfect hero… for the sake of his soldiers.
His second in command, Prowl, is responsible for making up stories to cover up any of his wrong doings and accidents. What might shock others doesn’t come as a surprise to him - he knows Optimus. Yet, their relationship is as distant as one can be. Optimus calls him “old friend”, Prowl calls him “Prime”.
Praxian-Seeker Conflict
Praxians were the frametype produced in the city-state of Praxus!
With Cold Construction being now "illegal", the only cold constructed bots being produced now were the Praxians in Praxus and Seekers in Vos. They were servants - Praxians took the softer, more noble jobs, while Seekers took the rougher ones.
This difference between their classes, despite being both made to serve, created a tension between the two. Seekers wanted rights. They wanted to be free to fly wherever they wished. Praxians had a false sense of freedom, having wings useless for flight.
Having a Praxian was like owning a fancy car, a sign that you have power and wealth. Seekers, on the other hand, weren’t owned by anyone in specific, but they were seen as less than scrap metal.
When the war started to get more intense, Starscream, now Decepticon commander of the Seekers, organized an attack on Praxus! They destroyed everything and everyone... or at least they thought they had gotten everyone.
After the attack ended, Praxus was gone. Now only a few Praxians remains, Praxians as in the frametype AND those forged who lived there.
And you know what makes this so interesting? The fact that Prowl and Starscream are now the temporary leaders to the factions. They have quite the historical hatred towards each other!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Green!
Don’t worry!!! Green is safe 🫶
She didn’t get aboard the Ark with Prowl and the others and is patiently waiting for her best friend’s return.
I’m not really sure where to fit her in the story, other than in flashbacks and mentions, as of now. She’s an exclusive Roleplay character - but who knows maybe in the future…

Transformers Prime Headcanons
I decided to try to make my Tumblr vlog more active a little so I decided to post some TFP headcanons. More specifically in my TFP AU.
Warning: Ships involved
Megatron may hate Optimus Prime but deep down, he loves Orion Pax. Whenever he sees Optimus, he thinks of the betrayal, the heartbreak, and most of all, seeing Orion no longer being Orion after the archivist was given the Matrix of Leadership.
Optimus, in some way, feels the same about Megatron. He hates the current Megatron, but loves Megatronus (the gladiator). Deep down, he even has hopes that Megatron will change.
Ratchet is aware of this as he was friends with Optimus since the Golden Age. How does he feel about Optimus still having this hope? He thinks Optimus, or Orion, is crazy as it seems like Megatron will never change now.
Do any of you remember that canceled Transformers MMO game called Transformers Universe? According to many of the sources I read about it, the game takes place in the Prime/Aligned continuity or is inspired by it. TFwiki says, "set in an alternate version of the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family." Some other sources say it is a prequel to TFP. Almost anywhere I go on the Internet to see TF Universe, TFP is mentioned. Because of that, I personally think the game is canon, or at least partially canon, to TFP.
Cliffjumper had feelings for Arcee. Arcee felt the same way, but she hid it out of fear for losing him like how she lost Tailgate.
After the events of Triage, Ratchet started to develop a small crush on Wheeljack.
Arcee has sisters and they are Chromia and Ariel/Elita-1. Arcee is the youngest and the smallest.
The sisters still live. They're just far away.
Elita-1, at least when she was just Ariel, had feelings for Orion, but that soon went away some time after Orion started going out with Megatronus.
And, that's about it for now.

G/t Rec/favorite list from Fanfiction.net part 1
On this list, there are a lot of Transformers stories. I feel like in that fandom it is very easy to write G/t-themed works because it already has giant robots. I tried to pick out the ones on my favorite list that focused more on the size difference and even first contact type meetings where the size difference is explored more in the story. For this list, I just copied each story summary that was already there.
Domestic Liberation by Lnzy1
Alternate G1. It is suggested by many experts that if you ever find yourself kidnapped or taken hostage, it is always a better choice to cooperate with the assailant to avoid injury, but does this rule apply to alien abductions as well?
The doctor in the cupboard by Guivana
House didn't believe in magic, but under the circumstances, what else could he blame? Science just didn't have an explanation for the fact that he'd woken up the size of a toy.
Property of by hydraling110
During a Cybertronian 'peace,' ex-Cons decide to hide the sentience of and sell humans as pets to secure Earth. Sam and Mikaela might just be the first to grasp the reality of the situation alongside their new mech owner.
The secret world of Sari by aurorafox
Inspired by The Secret World of Arrietty. Sari is a Borrower, part of a race of tiny people that live in homes and aren't supposed to be seen. When she's spotted one night, she might discover a few friends. Includes Transformers as humans and AU.
Across the galaxy by Crystal prime
Mina Castina is just your average twenty year-old woman, struggling to find her place in the world. A nerd and outcast all her life, she is not surprised by her struggles in her social life even as she does well in her school work. For all her feelings of being out of place, she never expected to find a place she felt she belonged. Especially when that place is far from her own planet! And just two days before her birthday too.
I lost a world! By Rose’s.wings
She was just a girl with nothing to do, but that changes when she wakes up on another planet and is taken in by aliens. All she wants is to find her sister and go home but with civil war looming, not to mention the speech barrier, will she ever get back?
When in the world By Jajayinmay
After an explosion in the Decepticon Space Bridge, Jack, Miko, and Raf are stranded alone on separate planets, while the Autobots try desperately to get them back. But who are these strange bots they've met? Why do they look so familiar? And what does Starscream mean by saying he's been gone for years?
Something different by borrowerellie
A borrower by the name of Ellie moves into the walls of 221B Baker St., but can she remain hidden from the very perceptive Sherlock Holmes? The first in what I hope to be a series about Borrower Ellie.
Return by Kageshi
Jack and Arcee go to Cybertron to return Optimus' memories but only one could return. Jack, stuck on a mostly dead planet, has no escape. How will he cope? What happens to the rest of the Autobots on Earth with no Prime? TFP Slash
Stalker in my walls by heroofthe13thday
Who's to say billionaire's mansions are Borrower-free? Ironman movies only, maybe Avengers if there's a sequel.
