#implied megop

Small TF One animatic as I distract myself from the horrible U.S. election results

Inspired by this >> post by @mademoiselle-cookie

Context:

During their preparations for unicron’s arrival and the alliance to fight off spawns made by unicron, just about everybody was tired of the fighting and agree on a peace treaty. Everyone agreed that the war would officially end once they survive the oncoming fight with the Chaos bringer. In between the meetings, Megatron and Optimus take charge of creating the components of said treaty alongside their high command. Unsurprisingly, tension was high between the two factions (especially between the two leaders). What was surprising was that Megatron was willing to accommodate when amendments were made in the treaty, shocking everyone with his decision to choose peace (once the final battle is over). Most of all, stunning Optimus into silence during most of the discussion.

Op likes to go on long walks instead of driving since it gives him more time to appreciate the scenery. Sometimes he goes on for long hours when he wants some peace and privacy. The others try and track him down but was able to avoid them since he has multiple hiding spots and just hides from them if he really wanted to be left alone (unless it’s an emergency)

*Also here’s a sort-of timeline I made of my au cause I just wanted to organize it:

Optimuses: “Don’t worry. It’s not like they’ll eat you.”

….

They all reach the Primes.

The different reactions from the Primes: 🫤😠🤨👋😒😊😄😃😁👍😯😦🤔

Optimuses: “See! They’re fine with the idea of us exploring this place.”

Megatrons: “They’re just waiting the moment we are not watching them.”

Meanwhile, Unicron and Primus: 🍿

Always inspired by the Void Au of @rainy-s-other-corner .

Rung aka Primus in the Void: "Now I'm with my sparklings or, as humans call them, children. A therapy will help them."

Unicron: "What the frag is happening?"

Cybertronian Civil War on hold due to the nightmare of bureaucracy and paperwork because tracking down at minimum 73 different case files of each High Guard member and getting them all in order when probably half of the information was purposely destroyed by Sentinel means it will probably take a while. How many times has Shockwave and the rest of the High Guard have to sign documents to declare "yes I am alive" "no I did not fake my death to commit tax fraud". Or dealing with banks and other organizations going "please provide proof that you are indeed Starscream." Starscream going "I'm literally Starscream and standing in front of you what other proof is more clear! You are literally looking at a photo of me on the datapad!" "Apologies, but unless you have x, y, z document I am afraid we cannot simply take your word that you are Starscream. If you are missing these documents please fill out these thirty forms as alternative verification of identity". Also imagining Thundercracker going "hey do you think my buy five get one free drink stamp card still works. I've been sitting on that free drink for 50 cycles…"

Funniest thing if Shockwave was a senator before joining the High Guard and there was a small period of time where he actually was declared dead before it got cleared up back in the day when the Primes were still alive, but now they can't find the paperwork that cleared up that it was an error and he was still in fact alive so now he's been declared doubly dead.

Shockwave: It's document 37C!

Elita: Repeating it for the fifth time will not change the fact that it does not exist!

Shockwave, done with being declared dead: It exists! It's added every time my taxes get filed each cycle! Did I suddenly imagine the last thousands of cycles of my life!

Elita, losing her own temper: There is no document 37C! Listen here Blinky, I can easily resolve this matter by getting you declared dead for a third time for real!

Optimus stressed and trying not to cry: Maybe we should call for a break in the meeting...

When the break is over no one can find Optimus who has decided to play hooky from his responsibilities because he'd tired and feels like he's going to lose it dealing with all the sudden responsibilities of being leader of an entire planet. I like the idea that it's Megatron who finds him. Megatron going "if I have to suffer through these meetings so do you" (he was secretly also ditching the meeting and accidentally bumped into Optimus because the place is technically their old spot that they sometimes went together, both thought it would be abandoned and no one would find them there). It's awkward, there are hurt feelings on both sides, but maybe they slowly get to talking and at least commiserate how much they hate paperwork. Also funny if they find out they both also have to resolve their own "declared dead by Sentinel" paperwork considering he said they both died after the Iacon 5000 lol.

Also I think it would be funny if these meetings drag on for so long that Optimus is just like instead of commuting back and forth from the surface to Iacon every day just stay here in the city it will save time. Banishment temporarily rescinded. Even more funny if they also have to deal with the Quintessons so half of these meeting turn into war meetings to deal with and fight the Quintessons off their planet where both sides are like "we're not on the same side!", but also eventually have to work together to win. So it's basically an officially we're not on the same side, but all actions say otherwise lol. I like to think Bee likes to hangout with Soundwave during meetings and finds him so cool, and Soundwave actually likes listening to Bee yap finding him endearing.

They eventually realize that it would be easier (and less paperwork) to just reinstate the High Guard and at this point so much time has passed that they've basically been doing their old job anyway as they fight the Quintessons together. Banishment permanently rescinded for all parties involved. I like to think megop over the course of these meetings and fighting together against the Quintessons make up. Things can't go back to the exact way it was between them, but that doesn't mean they can't rebuild something new between them. I like to think both groups have differing ideas of how to lead and how to deal with situations, but I like to think eventually they get to a point where they can compromise and work with differing ideas depending on what's best for the situation at hand similar to the 13 Primes who probably had conflicting and contrasting personalities and approaches but were able to use these differences to work together and make them stronger as a united front.

Then I had a thought, when Miko grows up and meets more transformers (I refuse to believe the kids aren't hanging out with at least one bot) do you think she would try dating a cybertronian? I guess this goes for both Raf and Jack too. I doubt Jack would as he be too plain for that. Maybe Raf would consider it?

Miko is..... Miko.

Idk having lots of your socializing being down with cybertronians and most of your family unit also being them would definitely shape the kids. Especially when they were still young. Disregarding the size difference problem I think they would have at least thought about it at one point.

Like they're on the couch one day playing the racer game when the topic of dating comes up. Probably from the subject of Jack's loser boy crush. Then it drifts to the Autobots relationships and if they are dating or have dated. There are discussions of if Megatron is Optimus' ex, the Wreckers situationship, if Arcee and Cliffjumper were together, ect, just general teen gossip. Jack makes a joke about how with much of their time they spent around transformers they are just going to end up with only bot company. Miko jokes back about settling down with a femme. Raf then is like would you do that? Marry a transformer?

Miko has would I moment? The kids talk about how the only bots they know are the Autobots which are basically their parents and the decepticons which straight up don't like them. Raf mentions how there are other cybertronians out there so theoretically speaking when they're adults they could do that. Then Jack argues no bot would want to date a human. Humans are freaky but they aren't. This evolves into a full blown argument which ends up with them marching over to the nearest Autobot asking about it.
