#headcanons transformers

You know, I saw the artist Cheesy on Insta doing creepy art works on Transformers decepticons, and among them there was Starscream. And it actually got me thinking; what if the 3 seekers were genuinely terrifying ?

I want to imagine them being a threat/scaring the hell out of other Cybertronians. They’re not just seekers, but THE SEEKERS. The upper class. THE BIG THREE!!! They have capacity no one else has; faster, more cunning! Skywarp able to teleport, Thundercracker with his sonic boom and Starscream with his extreme speed and his viciousness.

It would be interesting! I mean, instead of having Starscream getting kicked and pushed around by Megatron, it would be more like Starscream kept around because Megatron don't want to deal with a Starscream out there with his two trinemates ready to jump him. He'd rather have them serving under his command, even though Starscream will try to take him down regardless. Seriously, a version of Starscream that would remind you WHY he's second in command. A Starscream with a level of viciousness TERRIFYING.

Next you have Skywarp with his warping abilities, add it with his impulsiveness you CANNOT predict his next move! A scary vibe like Jinx from Arcane. I visualize him like that. Mix it up with his version of Skybound and you'll reach that peak. I want Autobots having a rough time with him. We have to make out something from that power, to 'expand the scope' (is it how you say it?). Pricklythepear on Tumblr got an interesting idea that I just LOVE; autobots having to plan around his teleportation. THAT'S GENIUS, BUDDY. I can't keep it out of my mind.

And then you got Thundercracker. Actually, I'm having a hard time visualizing him as scary, so if you guys can share your vision on what would make him scary, DO IT. For this one I had something similar to what Pricklythepear had in mind; playing on the fact that he can be intimidating. And another idea Pricklythepear had (yes, they're my source of inspiration for this one, big love) is that « Thundercracker didn't just get his name from his outlier/sigma ability, but also cause his battle cry is like roaring thunder to his enemies » (their words). OMG ISN'T THEIR IDEA SO GOOD ?! Plus, something I always got in mind was how massive he is (okay, not like Overlord but still). He could crush opponents so easily. Also, I’d want him to care more about what looks honorable than what is more good, more kind (and that’s why he’d be the less cruel out of the 3). That idea of him caring more about appearance was brought up by https://x.com/tcskwp_?s=21. I am completely in love with their interpretation of his personality.

Look this out too!

I think no one in the dratchrod ship can really cook. They know enough to get by but absolutely none of them have a background in making anything more complex than a sandwich, stovetop hotdogs, or box Mac and cheese.

With Minimegarod it's a bit different. Rodimus never really cooks and when he does it's, as I said, stovetop hotdogs and kraft Mac and cheese. Minimus and Megatron however are more open to experimentation. That doesn't mean they're any good at it. Minimus is the type to follow a recipe so strictly that you get the blandest food imaginable. Megatron goes in the opposite extreme. Hell glance at the recipe but experiment so much that there no consistency in his cooking and he never writes anything down.

Thunderbee would have the best relationship with cooking. They're not master chefs but theyll actually cook together, like, socially. And they'll try to remember what works and what doesn't.

Bonus round;

Mirage was a rich kid who never had to cook for himself ever. His cooking is an absolute nightmare but it all works out because Cliffjumper has a stomach of indestructible titanium and can, will, and has eat anything. Hound CAN cook and likes to feed his friends but never lets either of them into the kitchen.

Perceptor knows how produce food that meets exact nutritional requirements which is a nice way of saying that it'll keep you regular while tasting like vomit. Brainstorm does all in his power to avoid eating it at all costs and has caught something on fire at least six times to avoid eating it and have an excuse to order takeout.

Starscream obviously doesn't cook. That beneath him. What does he look like, the help!?

Skywarp is, shockingly, an amazing cook. He weaponizes this maliciously.

Soundwave is good at home cooking and only makes food for his cassettes and people he personally approves of.

Shockwave is the king of midnight 24/7 fast food. It fills his stomach and he's has 20 supplements he takes for any missing vitamins.

Optimus cooks just for himself and almost always eats alone.

I like these headcanons

But personally i think ratchet can make decent meals, drift should be no where near a kitchen and rodimus can cook he just does it for loved ones, not really himself.

Optimus does not get to eat alone his family and friends stay with him so he doesn’t suffer more, he’s suffered enough.

Megatron:*Waking up* What...what do you want now?

Rodimus: Nothing. I just wanted to tell you forgot to take your sleeping pills.*smiling*

Sparklings tend to be aggressive to anyone who isn't their carrier. This is due to the spark bond they feel and that they want all the attention on them. So it's not too strange for a bittie to hiss and swipe at their sire long not after emergence, in fact its found rather cute and a good way to test if the sparkling is doing well. The more hissy the more healthy they are.

Thankfully with a lot of cuddles and cluster feedings it doesn't take long for a sire to be able to win their sparkling over. Once the sparkling gets used to their sires field and spark bond, the hissing and swiping will come to a stop and they will begin behaving like a normal snuggly bittie.

^_^

Awwwww

This is so cute!!!!!

This explains why cliffjumper is so tempered.

Perceptor isn’t always in carrier mode in my headcanons because i don’t see him as that type from the media i’ve consumed so far.

But i really like this headcanon too because if Rodimus got it from Perceptor maybe Percy was creatoring bots you wouldn’t expect. Mechs like Prowl who worked hours that would put a drilling machine to shame or bots like Ratchet who never left the medbay and he had to knock him out when Ratchet reached the limit Percy set for him and drag him back to his hab suite?

Maybe Rodimus grew up seeing Percy scolding others to take better care of himself and it’s something he never questioned.

Its a love language.

One he whole sparked has and does, regularly.

Rodimus will wipe a mechs chin if they get energon everywhere because Percy did not allow him to be a slob.

Drift has scratches on his paint? Rodimus is fixing it like a creator and telling Drift not to be careless about his health.

Ratchet hasn’t fueled properly?

Rodimus is forcing energon down his intake.

Minimus is neglecting transforming into his alt mode?

Rodimus picks him up, sets him against his chest and sits down with the mech, rubbing his back until he starts purring and transforms on instinct to curl up and rest on Rodimus lap.

Rodimus even creatored Megatron of all bots because he noticed he wasn’t sleeping well.

A nice homemade glass of energon that’s Rodimus’s special blend and Megatron was out like a light.

They are both the crews carriers and don’t even notice it.

Well Percy does, Roddy doesn’t lol.

Megatron: Okay, guys, it's time to go...

Riptide: Well, I'm leaving.*He starts getting up*

Megatron: It's time to go to page 40...*Smiles*

[Rodimus appears on the screen]

Rodimus: *Smiling*This is Rodimus and I'm going to tell you that thanks to me your months of work have gone-to-shit! Goodbye!*The computer turns off.*

Prowl: ...
