Changelings keep the early lives of their children a secret. It's common that even their partners wont be privy to the child's first month of life unless they're a changeling themselves. This is understood to be for the safety of all changelings, since the egg and grub stages are both especially vulnerable to outside disease and pests.

Have some random lore tidbits and drawings that I did to experiment with composition while I try to find the motivation to do one of the bigger, ask-related drawings for this AU.
Yes, I did randomly ditch linework, and yeah, I'll probably go back to it for stuff outside of sketch pages and whatnot.
(Ignore the proportions in the top right, I didn't feel like correcting the sizes. Puppet and Eclipse are supposed to be the same height haha)
Annnnd done!- These are references for my Rocket to Insanity / Cupcakes AU!
Once everything is planned out and I finally get a grasp of freedom, I might start writing for good!--
Anyway! As always, this story will be mostly based on dreams I had (yes, I dream about pretty sinister things and I gotta love my brain for it); so, a rework of the original fanfic, with a fat chunk of Happy Death Day as inspiration because I love that movie. Only the first, though-- the second one is super ass.
I really really really really wanna work on this one because I can work with angst, blood, and loads of toxic yuri-- AND I LOVE ALL OF IT. Also some character development bits, since I plan to split the main story in two parts. ✨
well technically you only have 1 wip to ask about but lowkey i am always attracted to omegaverse lestappen angst. so naturally i must hear your own ideas and stuff about it 🤭
(also it's fine to not know how to use tumblr i think. i'm still learning as well :D)
Wow, there are so many details I'd like to talk about, but I'd end up giving spoilers. I'll mention a few that I think are relevant regarding the heat suppressants, which are details that are part of the worldbuilding and I don't know if I'll be able to detail them in the fic.
Very long response incoming:
There are heat suppressants, used by Omegas to delay their heat cycles.
Alphas use an equivalent when they go into rut, the difference is that, since society sees Alphas as "superior," only Omegas receive the cruel treatment of not being able to choose their careers (pure misogyny, in short).
The pharmaceutical industry, seeing a great chance to profit from Omegas whose dreams are destroyed (going beyond light jobs like childcare and nursery), decides to create instinct inhibitors. One of the factors for pharmaceutical companies investing in this (besides getting money from Omegas who want to be athletes) is that naturally, over time, the body begins to reject the heat suppressants.
Essentially, instinct inhibitors shutdown the part of the brain responsible for primitive impulses (the person becomes practically a beta, but unlike betas, there are no sexual desires, no desire to talk to people, no attachment behavior, no nesting, in short, the part of the brain responsible for socialization simply shuts down and the person becomes more machine than human).
However, since the development of these inhibitors is very unstable (it is still in the testing phase and tests report that several omegas have become dependent on this medication, in addition to causing problems such as suicidal tendencies, social isolation, and infertility).
This leads to societal criticism about whether it is really worthwhile, but instead of allowing omegas to simply participate in activities common to any human being, they prefer to keep omegas confined to their homes.
Therefore, instinct inhibitors are not widely sold, and access to them is more complicated, with pharmaceutical companies supplying some test samples that end up on the black market.
As is well known, omegas are not allowed to participate in Formula 1, but Vettel was an omega who claimed to be an Alpha (he hid his cycles using suppressants; Red Bull only discovered he was an omega practically when he won his third championship).
Because Vettel was an omega and had given them so many championships, Red Bull began a more lenient policy regarding secondary designations, ceasing to require mandatory tests or formal declarations of alpha, beta, or omega status from their drivers and other employees. Officially, the team still follows the FIA rules, which prohibit omegas in Formula 1, but internally it began treating designations as private medical information, creating a "don't ask, don't tell" culture. To avoid risks and harassment, the team implemented universal safety protocols such as: pheromone neutralizers, hormonal monitoring focused solely on physical fitness, emergency medical isolation areas, and extremely strict policies against coercion and abuse— allowing them to maintain the appearance of compliance with regulations while protecting drivers and staff regardless of their designation. (I confess I was a little inspired by your omegaverse here.)
However, this unspoken Red Bull policy of accepting omegas isn't enough to ease Max's insecurities about being discovered as an omega and being fired (let's just say his father will instill a "don't trust anyone regardless of whether they claim they'll accept you" mentality, and he'll have abandonment issues that I intend to explore further in the fic).
I'm letting you know right away that any question about worldbuilding excites me, so I gave a pretty long answer here.
I hope you enjoy the upcoming chapters, which will be released sometime soon.
Can I ask why Optical dislikes humans? Were humans unkind to them personally, or is it more to do with the ways humans treat each other? (Or are they just disgusted by biological processes?)
Optical worked for years at a shady company which was actually a syndicate that dealt in illegal production of vehicles, weapons, devices and anything that sold well enough.
The people there treated all the robots horribly and now Optical has a deep resentment for humans.
It's also where they got their sourpuss attitude
(I haven't decided how/if Opti looked different in the past, but it's possible they didn't have antenna at the time)
Here are 6 memories of Optical's past:
[1/6] - Waking up
Optical's first memory is coming online in front of a group of grumpy humans all looking at them
But back then they weren't "Optical" yet, but "Cameraman Engineering Officer-012"
"Is this it? Are you fucking serious? That's what we blew all our money on?"
"Shut it. It's a specialized model, preloaded with engineering knowledge. Learns fast, works fast, doesn't need food or sleep"
"All the damn robots need sleep you idiot."
"Less than any shitty-ass human you can hire."
"Fucking fine. Set this thing to work, it better be worth the money."
"Sure. Follow me, camera."
012 was looking curiously between them during that conversation then hurriedly follows after the guy and they're immediately put to work the day they get there
[2/6] - Trying to rest
Another memory, not too long after they came online
"The hell are you doing here?"
012 wandered off to explore the facility, they just look at the guy blankly
"Why aren't you working? Get back to your workshop."
012 goes to respond in signs but the guy slaps their hands away
"Quit that with your hands, you got vocals so use them"
012 thinks, then speaks "H..ello?"
"Don't "hello" me, answer my fucking question. Why aren't you working?"
012: "I was tired and wanted to look around."
"The fuck do you mean you were tired?? You're a robot! Recharge and keep working!"
"And don't ever walk off who the fuck knows where, stay in your place at all times"
012 was then shooed off to return to work
[3/6] - Harsh lesson
Memory about meeting a hardware some time later
012 is working, and someone else enters the room
They turn to look.. It's another camerahead, but they look different from 012, it's recognized as a regular cam
The cam walks up to 012 to hand something over to them and then stands there and looks at them curiously
012 accepts the items and puts them away, they're tilting their head at the cam
The cam waves, and 012 waves back
Two lil newbie robots spend some time hanging out, curious about each other
Then somebody else enters the room
A wrench hits the cam who topples over with a nasty screech
012 is shocked as shit and goes to help but they are grabbed and pulled away
"We've been waiting for this shipment for two fucking hours and this is what you've been doing?"
012 is desperately trying to look behind the man, at the damaged cam who is still recovering, very much a dent visible in it's head
The man notices and turns around to grab at the cam, scolds them too then brings the cam in front of him to practically dangle them in front of 012 for show
"This piece of shit is cheap, I can break it if I wanted to. You ever get distracted like that again and this will happen to every robot that pulls you away from work"
The man shoves the cam away and tells it to bugger off, the poor cam hobbles off fast
"That was your fault for getting distracted. You do most of the shit around here, we can't afford you fucking around, so don't."
012 still horrified nods rapidly and gets back to work without any more input
[4/6] - No loopholes
Another memory about a hardware
012 is hard at work, tinkering away
A regular speakerman comes in, they haven't seen this one before, they spare him a glance and continue working
The speakerman doesn't seem to have a goal to be here, just looking around. he walks up to 012
"Hi! How are you?"
012 doesn't look at him, "You shouldn't be talking to me, go back to work"
"Why?"
012: "Just leave okay? They can't see you talking to me"
"But.. there's no one here? It'll be okay if they don't know right?"
012: "…I guess so?"
There's a hesitant small pleasant conversation between the two that goes on while 012 works
Then there's the sound of a door opening
012 panics and immediately shoves the speakerman away and turns back to work. he falls to the ground confused, then looks up in time to see a human lift him and shove him away and tell him to stay put. the man walks towards 012 and before he says anything 012 turns around, tech in hand
012: "I've completed the prototype and started working on the one due for tomorrow. I already notified the workers of the next objectives"
The man yanks the tech out of 012's hand, it's some sort of laser gun. he looks it over then aims behind him at the speakerman and shoots him in the leg.
The speakerman yelps, it burns through the clothing and melts halfway through the leg. the man hands the gun back to horrified 012.
"Not strong enough, make it bigger."
012 nods and turns away, hands shaking, they go back to work. the man speaks again
"If you think you're fucking clever, there's not just a camera on your head, there's one above it."
He points out the normal security camera that likely saw 012 chatting to the speakerman
"I warned you, don't get distracted."
The man and the speakerman leave 012, who starts desperately working faster to not think about what just happened
[5/6] - For their own good
Much time later, they were working around many hardwares this time
012 is at a larger part of the facility today, around them other hardwares are working too
They occasionally speak to them to give instructions, and nothing more.
Most of them already know what the humans are like and keep to themselves.
Until there's another cameraman that comes to them, they've seen him chatting to others when he's nervous before
It starts again, he's pleasant, he's curious, he is making jokes and trying to make friends with 012 to lighten their shared situation
012 doesn't respond, they stare coldly right through him, they hardly heard what he was saying
012: "I don't care, get back to work"
"Wh-? Can't we chat a bit?"
012: "What part of "get back to work" do you not understand? Get the fuck out of my face"
"B-but I just wanted to say "hello"! "
012: "Don't "hello" me. LEAVE ME TO MY DAMN WORK!"
The cameraman startles, frowns, deeply upset and wanders away.
As soon as he leaves, 012's hands are shaking again, they're working faster. they shout at any hardware that may look their way and demand they keep working.
It's okay.
They don't know any better.
At least he didn't get hurt.
[6/6] - An outlier
They remember how they got their name
012 was working alone again this time, a new human entered the room. The person asked for advice and corrections on some blueprints and 012 did as asked very quickly and handed them back right away, getting back to their usual work. But the human didn't leave, he lingered
"Man this is cool, heh. Talking robots. How smart are you guys?"
012: "Smarter than many humans."
"Pfftttt haHAH! You're funny too! Damn! That's awesome. What's your name?"
012 looks at him confused, that wasn't a joke?
012: "Cameraman Engineering Officer-012"
"Bah, that's not a name. Don't you have an actual name? Y'know? Like John or whatever"
012: "Most call me 012. If you need nothing else, then let me get back to my work"
"Oh come on, you can do better than 012"
012: "I don't care what you call me."
"But what do you want to be called? Make your own choice y'know?"
012: …
012: "Get lost. You're wasting my time."
"Woah, harsh. Too bad you're not that scary with that peeper of yours. You guys are weirdly adorable."
"How abouuut Lenny? Like Lens, yeah? Zooms? Tinker?"
"Oh! Hey what do you think about "Optical"? It's in reference to like, y'know. Sight. Your optic looks like a big ol' eye to me. massive peeper."
012: "Are you done yet? Get out of the way you're blocking the shelves."
When he doesn't move, 012 squeezes past him. The guy huffs and crosses his arms.
"Okay, be like that. I'm gonna keep calling you Optical and if you don't like it, tell me m'kay?"
"Optical" doesn't respond, they continue their work and eventually the guy leaves.
That guy continues coming to Optical rarely, calling them that. They get used to the name at some point.
He was kinda nice, still rough, like the rest of the humans there. He didn't hurt the hardwares atleast
He was as nice as one can be when you're part of a shady terrorist/crime organization
They liked the name, they kept it even after the guy pissed off the folks in charge and they never saw him again

Got some new crewmates joining the team... they're gonna be handling the field operations. There's two guys... ones a human, Tear, which I have some less than nice feelings about, but he's big and he's well known as a member of the Hounds. The other is the older, and more experienced. He's a shorter guy (5'7, the captain is 7') and some kind of anthropomorphic wolf species. His name is Rip, and to my shock he is the best gunslinger I've yet to see. He was also a member of the Hounds, number six of the top fifteen actually. Guess I'm one lucky gal. They're an awfully close pair, if they looked similar in any way you'd think they were brothers. I have yet to read the incident report provided to me by the Hounds upper command, so we'll see if they have any notes on how to handle the two...
Silex's "Sun" also known as Thonoval (Tho-No-Val) was reported missing or dead when he took a younger Silex exploring outside their village.
Now Thonoval was at fault for taking Silex out of the protection of their village as young pups are not allowed out of the village until the age of 7. Silex was 5 at the time while Thonoval was 9.
Silex was found by a hunting group hiding away in a hollow tree, covered in dirt and some small cuts that were most likely inflicted by the thorns of foliage. They took Silex back to the village before venturing out again to look for Thonoval who was sadly never found after that.
Silex was asked questions by the hunters on what happend but Silex wasn't able to give a clear answer, he was terrified and the hunters knew that from how he acted after he was found. So they dropped asking him questions and rather comforted Silex, telling him everything's going to be okay and that they will find Thonoval.
If only they kept their word.
Astrothi Silex's "Moon" heartbroken when he was told that Thonoval was either missing or dead and he blamed Silex ever since the. Astrothi's behavior quickly became more violent and abusive as Astrothi and Silex got older.
Ps: Silex is not directly related to Thonoval and Astrothi, instead they were very close friends that viewed each other as brothers.
A number of years following Sigma Seventeen's revival, Heatwave and Quickshadow find themselves parents of a tiny little sparkling they name Hotshot.
The two are elated, but worry that Heatwave's altered state of being might have caused some unique adaptations to him. Sure enough, when Hotshot is still very small, he throws a temper tantrum and winds up flooding the town by busting several water mains with his infantile hydrokinesis.
Knowing that the planet Earth is over 70% water and worried infant Hotshot will hurt himself with that much power at his disposal, the pair choose to temporarily have Quickshadow and Hotshot leave Earth, returning to Cybertron while Heatwave stays on Earth to continue his work with the rest of his team.
Hotshot is raised by his mother on Cybertron and his father visits them and video-calls often, but he remains confused why Heatwave only comes to Cybertron, and they never visit him at his home on Earth, as his parents would never tell him that he is the reason they never go to Earth.
During one of Heatwave's visits, he informs Quickshadow that Optimus has asked him and his team to finally make the Rescue Academy operational with their first students, and presents the idea of having Hotshot also enroll. Heatwave could keep an eye on him, and he's older now, surely he can keep his powers until control better now. Quickshadow agrees, and Hotshot is absolutely elated to finally get to see this planet his father and uncles live on and are always talking about...
