TF Aerialbots AU Main Cast
WARNING: The mention of (child) abuse, bullying, cannibalism, implied gore, systemic society and maybe political things are here. You have been warned!
Here is the cast appearance, unreliably:
Silverbolt
What do you thought of Silverbolt if he had Personality of G1 Silverbolt but with persona of Beast Wars Silverbolt? How about instead of jet Optimus prime who afraid of heights or brawn romantic chivalry corny word annoying fuzor, you get..... Someone with deep sense of chivalry, said something knight cliche in some cases, being shakespherean poetic sometimes, but it is actually a "masking" of his current anxiety. The biggest reason why The Aerialbots respects him as a leader not because of his chivalry, but because he is the moral anchor of the group.
Originated from Planet Eukaris, he was once a young fuzor maximals with deep sense of chivalry. He "dosen't loyal" to maximals, bit he is actually dosen't want to be a good maximal, he wants to be a good bot who did good things. That in of his own opinion is the deep core of chivalry. When he was still newly build and mentored by a knightly maximals, he loves reading knight story so that is why he kinda meta-thought. Aka this is almsot equivalent of chinnibyou on real life, except Silverbolt knows he just faking it for fun. His crimes or grey area is when he was fall in love with a young predacon gifted scientist, Blackarachnia. With his chivalry rules and feeling symphaty to her after he heared the spider's disguise with her own tribes who belives in prophecy and tarot thing and everyone in every tribes call her revolutionary thought as "Freak", they were on romantic thoighnttoneach other, but at the same time Blackarachnia manipulated Silverbolt to do her biddings. Silverbolt know it is bad and he try to tell her what she did is wrong, but at the same time he dosen't force her to join Maximals. After the whole crimes Silverbolt did and romance turns tragedy, the predacons secretly making Silverbolt's "Tiny crimes" into huge crime rumor that he is the traitor. Of course every maximals angry about this and excecuted poor Silverbolt who dosen't have joyful perosnality thanks to him doubting his chivalry after make Optimus Primal's get bad name to every maximals. Optimus Primal and his gang of misfits (because they are ragtag and then there is Dinobots join Maximals) finally saved Silverbolt from death excecution, but there was an agreement with maximals council that Silverbolt must be exiled and defect from Maximals. This lead Silverbolt had no choice, even Optimus Primal and his gang felt sad. Silverbolt maybe annoying, but he is a good bot who had sense self chivalry. After he lost his belives on chivalry, he lost everything. However, Primal ask Silverbolt to join Autobots. Their ally. So he can have a decent life there. Before he exiled, he met Blackarachnia again. But this time both regretting their mistakes. Dispite Blackarachnia treat him badly, in reality, she truly loves him. But it was too late to fix it. The only way to fix it is to separate each other.
After went to cybertron, he was had a struggle there. It is more than just culture shock or racism towards beastformers and organics tho. He join Autobots, but he was asked if rebuild to be Cybertronian is possible. They said it is possible but really painful and Silverbolt is not pure cybertronian. Silverbolt accept it for survival reason and he recruited as low class courier ship. His life get worse and more cynical like in Beast Machine Silverbolt after he try to saved a civilians from high building. They were saved, but not Silverbolt's mental state. When Autobtos open up project Superion, Silverbolt thought to volunteer was because he want to proove he can be redeemed and came back his sense of chivalry.
Air Raid
Reckless, charming, but hard to team up with for his rebellious tendency. This defected Decepticon seeker isbeasily rumored by many autobtos and flyers because he had similiarity with the second-in-command of the decepticons. The truth is Air Raid is a good bot, he just really cynical about life and prefer violent entertainment over serious thoughts.
He was once one of the latest seeker to be mass produced. There are two types of seekers based on origins, a natural-build seekers which is just a clone or closer to sub-species and mass produced clone, who is.... Well, a clone. Air Raid was on the second category. His name is not Air Raid back then, his name was Blast. And he was a conehead. The term conehead is an insult to low class seeker. Blast was get bad treatment by became tools for teprture simulation, self-delete threat from higher ups, mocked by him born defected based on his "anomalous" movemenet when he was on protoform-tube state and constant injury from scout and battle activity and many more.
Blast really had a beef with the "golden child" of the mass-clone of second in command of decepticons, Slipstream. Slipstream had everything that Balst dosen't had. She is in command, treated seriously, and had real intention to get a higher job rank among decepticons. Blast hatred with her isbover sides considering Slipstream just see Blast as nothing but replacable unit. However Blast had a grudge with Starscream. Because Starscream, the commander of seekers, treat Blast worse compared to every seekers.
He was defected immidiately with so many injury from every seekers after one day he was met and saved by the Autobot wairror, Sideswipe. Blast see Sideswipe as "some like him but had more freedom to do what he want." Sideswipe dosen't ask to join him because Blast is decepticons and Sideswipe Will ruin every decepticons. Blast internally want to be like that Autobot. He was finally "saved" from abuse of almsot every seekers. Asked to be rebuild and he want to be look diffrent than any other seekers to diffrentiate. He dosen't follow Autobot cause and he thought Autobtos and Decepticons are the same, but autobots are just incompotent version of it because they lose on the war many times. He became a Lone warrior and doing some laugh, giggles and cackle when try to messing Seekers.
When Autobtos opened Project of second combiner, Air Raid self volunteer because he wants something new to satisfy his pleasure that became monotone.
Fireflight
In caminus, you need to perform art and (sometimes) have a partner. That is the core of Caminus. Fireflight was once an Insecticons that get sparked after being created by his swarms. Being insecticons is like.... Usual animal activity. And also eating everything even metals of even living cybertronian.
Fireflight was your usual daydreaming scatterbrained firefly bug. He was really into the brightness of caminus and he wants to be part of him for wondering and perform art like them. So he separated from his kinds and try to be more accepted to standard Camien from holding his cannibalism tendency, go to caminus art school, and learninga bout art. The problem with Fireflight is being suffered from adhd and maladaptive daydreaming tendency (idk how to write neurodivirgence tho). Meaning he never did his homework in time, leave everything blank, get bad score on Exam and many more. There was a thought if a camien still don't get their partner (Amica or Conjunx Endura) for 30 stellar syscles (aka 30 years), they Will be labeled as "officially lonely". Some are okay with it (like monk and loner) but some see this label as a social curse. So there is a quick way to get amica/ conjunx endura called "oath of constancy" where two or more individual had arranged partnerships by saying their oath. In Fireflight's case.... He failed to even get one friend is impossible. His daydreaming is more than just funsies imagination, but also imagine he had a happy family. A good camien mentor, good friends and a good conjunx endura wife that loves him after they became adult bots.
One eventful day there was a graduation day. Everyone get named and hold an education paper, except Fireflight. None of the teacher, staffs and even principal saying his name. He is dropped. And he was on poor Caminus slum city because he cant return to his swarms (either see him as traitor or a freak) nor unable to afford a job (he was don't fit any condition) where he was doing nothing, being malnourished and depressed due to he try to be acceptance for camien standard. Being insecticons, he can produced a swarms, but they were just a lifeless drone, animalistic, non transforming and small sized. This is the closest he get a friend. But they are all souless. He join Autobtos after he sneak in with other camien that newly join the autobots. He was busted and actually get "good" treatment from then and give him a job as a low rank Scout. Problem is, he didn't know he will going to war on cybertron and his daydreaming became worse. When project second combiner opened, he was asked (teased or "mocked") by his teammates to volunteer. He was join then, but he also wants to be belonging and excape from the war immidiately without going back home to caminus.
I inspired history from the original story of "The little mermaid" altough i don't read the story tho.
Skydive
After Optimus Prime and his Autobots arc crew was crashed into earth along side (but crashed separately) their rival, Megatron and the nemesis, usual cybertron wars on earth happens like in g1 transformers. One day, Bumblebee, Hound and his group of scouts are on patrol and found a mysterious young cybertronian sleep on the old world war II bunker. The bot was treated by the autobtos and said his name is Skydive. He was lately said he is a young cybertronian that crashed on earth and grew up survived while hiding from humans. Skydive join the Autobots and get the job as strategist for skyfire and his flying gang (Windblade, Stratosphere, and Powerglide). He is a best and gifted thinker dispite still young builded, but Skydive was really doubt about this compliment and he belives he didn't deserve it. Others thought he just being humble. He is, it just extreme to the point suffer from imposter syndrome.
Secretly, Skydive is not a from cybertron not every colony planet. He is actually the native earth Transformers species, aka Terrans (Yes, that Terrans from TF Earthspark). Terrans was a hidden species that try to survive from endangered after the whole distrust from humans exploitation of this kind from many centuries ago. Yet, there are some Terrans that still had secret relationships with other humans. Skydive is one of them (accidently). He was being the quiet kid of the orphans (orphans are newly builded sparklings that didn't had adopted by mentors yet). He prefer reading book and curious with the sky rather than playing with other young terrans. One day he was separated from his kinds while he try to scan a plane alt-mode and injured from the cliff. He was saved by a human pilot adventurer. She was a war veteran and want to get out from the war and doing her advantures. Skydive accidently give her cyber-sleeves so they were bonded as partner. She is smart and loves doing dangerous maneuver, Skydive (who was disguise as her plane) was really hate chaotic flying and need instruction. Their bond became closer to the point make them a found family and Skydive technically had a mother figure and the pilot had a partner who befriended during war and some lonely advantures. One, the duo was lost and separated. Skydive was survived but he lost his partner, he was desperate to find her but he dosen't know where to go. His sparks had sudden feeling of being hurt. He dosen't know why and what happen to his partner, and he felt a big pain. Something more hurt to the point he dosen't want to bonded and trusted with everyone. After the Autobots opened the project of second combiner, he join so no one questioned about his fake identity. Boy oh boy.... he was lately realized he was wrong.
Slingshot
Belive it or not, Slingshot is a grounder (race car) back then when before join the Autobots. He is from middle upper class of colony planet velocitron. In velocitron, everything they belives is speed. If you are slowpoke, you are low class. Dispite had a normal and more elite life and treatment, he was never happy because every velocitronians see and mocking him as average in everything or slow by more faster bots. And yes he get bullied for being bald dispite cybertronian are basically bald without their helmet. Probably because Slinghsot often lost his helmet thanks to being reckless. He became more defensive braggart. He was being a bully because he dosen't want to get bullied by them again.
When the event full his sparks day came, he was promised by his mentors that he Will be be more faster after surgery. His reaction after surgery is really bad. He still not fast enough. Every bots on school still teasing him as slowpoke. Was really furious to the point he gonna have a self-rebuild to be flyers after he look at the sky and see more faster jet. The problem is, flyers are a social taboo. Not because they are not exist, but because they are..... "Cheaters" (no idea why Velocitronian being hypricrites and being plane haters tho). Slingshot dosen't care and he finally had his own wings. His first try was full failire, he try and try to fix and fly again and finally he did it. His mentors and siblings who are far more faster grounders than him hates his appearance, but it was too late for Slingshot to said sorry (albeit he was really hurted of their words) because he was blinded by validation to be fast. He was live alone on his own apartement after get a part time job at workshop. He meet and try to befriended some flyers community there. But he was get the same treatment like before because of his speed is slow for a velocitronian flyers standard.
he join autobtos after he was fired from workshops due to "incident" he caused. He still the same insufferable jerk on the cybertron, so he get the punishment and detention a lot during to the point he never go uprank and still the low class energon courier.
(....
Wait.... am i missing something. Wait!? Who are you???? Alpha Bravo!? Is that you. Okay joking tho.... Let's go to the last members.)
Alpha Bravo
Once a normal young bot with normal life until became one of autobots child soldier after Planet Athenia damaged by the decepticons, the bot named Bravo get the title "Alpha" by the autobtos due to his wise mentorship for training flyers on Athenia and really skilled in fights. He is the youngest autobots that get the title alpha because majority of them are equivalent of 30-40 for being the youngest "alpha". On air, he is a killing machine Dispite his slow speed for his alt-mode. Dispite the compliment, he still felt empty and not enough love. He is empty because he never treated as a living being and the constant war on Athenia. And yet he still clinging "the concept of love and belonging" that he still hold it. The first time he was tasked to be "temporary replacement" component of Superion's left arm.... Thanks for being jerk, Slingshot! (which is just a disguise because in reality he was tasked to watch the Aerialbots after they did something wrong during earth wars). He became accidently closer to the five misfits. He felt... Raw love and belonging. And he asked Powerglide to be him and Aerialbots watchers instead and Powerglide get the title "Alpha" instead. However Powerglide accept it with one condition, the title of "Alpha" is stay with Bravo himself. Because if Powerglide take it, he will be suspeced as rank cheater because the title "alpha" is a third rank and he hates someone wasting the rank of whatbthey deserve by hardworking. Which means he asked Bravo to feel the gratidute dispite the suffering Bravo had because Alpha Bravo deserve to get that name than Powerglide. Which is a proof Powerglide, dispite being vain bravado flyer and also had commited some crimes unrelated to war, is a good and somewhat better or decent unnoficial mentor for Alpha Bravo.
This is the height comparison (this is also unreliable because of their alt-mode is diffrent to each other):
