It would be messyyyyyyyyy

I don't think Impactor has changed much as a person from before the war (besides probably being angrier and more traumatized), but Megatron is basically the exact opposite of who he used to be. Impactor doesn't even know about Terminus or Megatron nearly being shadowplayed, there's such big gaps in his knowledge of who Megatron used to be. As well as Megatron being such a different person that I doubt he knows how he should act around Impactor.

The weird thing is that I feel like, in THEORY, Impactor would actually like Megatron's personality the way he is now. Old Megatron was shy, pacifistic, and quiet, but New Megatron is confident, bold, willing to get his hands dirty. The issue is just well... literally everything else about the war and the horrible things Megatron and Impactor both did during the war. They can't go back to their old friendship because Megatron is so different, they can't pretend the war didn't happen because the violence they did is so well-known and their own consciences are haunted by the things they've did.

the idea is that megatron walks in on impactor jacking off in the wash racks and he's so tired and wants a shower so much that when impactor is all do you mind?? megatron, half-asleep, says "no i dont mind" and impactor thinks its so funny he decides not to throw megatron out and so he just... continues.

but then megatron realises impactor isn't even having a shower (they're on water rations and impactor isn't gonna waste his like that) so he comes up to impactor like "what are you even doing??" and impactor gives him a personal demonstration.

maybe i came too early, maybe i came too late

If they had a kid Meme!

Name: Slurry (it’s an unfortunate name)

Gender: Masculine, he/him pronouns

General Appearance: Slurry is big, bulky, and built like...well, like a hunk of mining equipment. Broad-shouldered, with treads and a bulldozer front, Slurry has a prominent crest upon the front of his helm, similar to Megatron’s, and he’s largely grey and silver in color, with some golden/yellow portions- such as his helm and servos and pedes. He has dull, red eyes and spends most of his time frowning, which gives his broad, handsome face a somber appearance.

Personality: Quiet, morose, Slurry isn’t exactly a partier or one to rock any boats. He spends his life trying to be left alone and seek peace. ESPECIALLY after he finds out the truth about his creators. While he’s generally quite complacent and tries to avoid conflict, if provoked he can quickly grow closed-off and defensive- and if provoked extensively? He’ll take a few swings, try to put his thumbs through someone’s optics. He hasn’t won a fight, yet, just gotten his aft handed to him a few times.

Special Talents: Durable. He’s durable as hell. Yeah, he gets his ass handed to him in fights, but that’s because when the going gets too tough he just curls up and protects himself via armor. He always manages to climb back up again and walk back to his bunk.

Who they like better: Neither. They certainly dislike Megatron more, mind you. Slurry hasn’t actually met his creators, not since he emerged from Impactor. He...he pretty much lowkey has a mixture of not-caring and hating, when it comes to them.

Who they take after more: Megatron, at least, Megatron back in the day. He’s not as boisterous or combative as Impactor.

Personal Head canon: When Megatron was arrested, Impactor was the one who was left reeling back at the mines. Megatron was his friend, a companion, a pain in his aft...and, unknowingly, the sire of the sparkling he was carrying secretly. Unintended carrying happened, in the mines, it was just a fact of life, but usually a quick trip to a medic’s office (voluntarily or not) nipped that in the bud. Impactor....well, he’d intended to, but something convinced him otherwise. Hiding a sparkling when you’re big and bulky as he is was easy. Of course, when it came time for emergence...he gave them up. Better that they get tossed back onto Cybertron than snuffed down in the mines. He wound up recruited back into mining young, altmode geared for it an all.I don’t think they lived through the start of the war, long enough to keep his head down and find out the truth. Maybe no longer. Depends. Could be a story in there, somewhere!
