HI HELLO THERE!!!

First of all, thank you SO much for leaving an ask!! It’s been a while since I’ve answered one so I’m really happy you left one!!

And second, it’s the second reason you mention!!

Optimus (going by Orion back in the day) worked as an archivist under Alpha Trion, but he wanted to join the Academy, but since the salary wasn’t really going to help him out, he needed another way to collect the credits. He basically saw advertisements asking for mechs that could be models for some simple promotional stuff, like cleaning products or life insurances or smth like that.

OK so recently I've been getting into ASMR videos (I still don't know how given I used to hate them and now we're here XD), but anyways. In some videos they eat these edible rocks/crystals to make sounds and stuff, the exterior is crunchy but the inside is like jelly.

(¬¬This guys over here¬¬)

So when I saw the blue ones, I was like "mmmm, they look a bit like energon.... wait a sec"

(YOU CAN'T TELL ME THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ENERGON!! LIKE THE COLOR AND EVERYTHING IS TOO SIMILAR!!)

(HERE'S A PHOTO FROM THE SHOW FOR COMPARISON. LOOK ME IN THE EYES AND TELL ME IT DOESN'T LOOK THE SAME XD)

So now I imagine the TFP kids making some DIY edible rocks/candy to simulate they're eating energon!

I think Miko would be the one that has the upper hand in this since one of the ingredients for the recipe comes from Japan (agar agar), so I HC she likes to prepare herself this rocks and brought with her some agar agar so she could make some during her time in America. So when she makes this connection with the energon, she immediately drags along Jack and Raf to make some!

They make some at Jack's home since June wouldn't question the intention of the rocks. And they decide not to tell the bots since they wanted to surprise them (foreshadowing lol!)

Once the rocks are ready (apparently you have to let them rest for almost a week), Jack brings them to the base to share with his friends.

And once they're gonna start indulging in it, the chaos starts lol!

Ratchet, seeing they're about to consume "energon", raw "energon" nonetheless, absolutely panics and almost pushes it out of their hands so they don't intoxicate gkkhhox

Bulkhead would try to make Miko spit it out since she would have acted like a chipmunk that puts the food in it's mouth when startled to run away quickly khchkchk

Arcee would immediately start shouting (in concern, but she's hiding it under anger) at Jack for trying to eat something they know is toxic for humans

Bee would start panicking and almost crashing out thinking Raf is gonna die (again)

I think Optimus would try to calm down everyone and ask the kids why they thought that was a good idea to do (and also panicking on the inside cause wdym his adopted-human-kids-but-can't-say-it were eating raw energon???)

And once the kids explain that no, it's not actual energon, never less raw one, it's a candy that looks like a rock and it's safe to eat, the bots would finally calm down after that sparkache

.... And then it starts again once Miko pulls out a bottle of blueberry water with edible glitter that makes it look like refined energon KGDYYKFHKHOCHO

(¬¬This type of thingy¬¬)

BUT!!!! I remember this past few days a fic I read like two months ago (can't remember the name for the life of me, I just remember it had 8 chapters and was tagged with MegOp in the TFA general tag, so if you know about it let me know so I can credit them!!)

EDIT: I've been informed it's called "…They were cellmates" by Naiad_DreamerWay!

Which basically had the premise of what if Optimus fell down with Megatron during the crash land on Eartg of the spaceship in the first episode of the series?? Making him and Megatron subjects to Sumdac's experimentation for his technology??? And Optimus lost his memory???

It's basically an Orion Pax Arc with TFA! Optimus!!!!!!! HOW COOL IS THAT??!!! I want to make my own version/twist of this idea (maybe having MegOp in it, or even having Blackarachnia tacking advantage of this situation 👀??) but I need ideas and suggestions for it!! So please let me know about them in the comments, it would help me out so much!!

I got a question about Optimus model Au

Firstly did his old friends like Sentinel and Elita know?

Second why is there a magazine of Op lying around? Who bring it abroad cuz it not like Optimus brought it with him on purpose especial something that embaresing

Sorry for the delay I wanted to finish my irl stuff of today and reblog some posts since I hadn’t done it in a while lol

Yes they would know!! After figuring out who Optimus exactly was when they met at the Academy, Sentinel actually was the one that told Elita since he would’ve been a fan of model magazines to keep up with trends and check out tips for better maintenance for his frame and face! I think he would have fanboy for a bit until Optimus convinced him that he’s just a normal bot and that he left that world to join the Academy, but he still couldn’t help himself to admire him on some aspects (that is, until the incident with Elita happens : D )

Sari found the magazine actually!! With my poor comic skills as of yet I didn’t manage to do it well but in the first comic I tried to make it look like Sari had found the magazine while she was looking for something in Optimus’s room! Optimus still keeps his old magazines cause he genuinely enjoyed modeling and had a good time, it’s just that because of the Elita incident his self confidence went plummeted to the ground and he finds them embarrassing now because of that.

He had them on the ship since by what looked in canon Optimus got assigned to the Orion (LOL he actually got a bit glad he was going by a different name in that situation since he didn’t wanna get the crew confused by which bot was referring who XD) immediately after his expulsion of the Academy, so I hc that he basically grabbed everything he had from the Academy and took it with him for the ship, not allowing time to leave things that weren’t necessary for his job.

Thanks for the question Anon!! This helps me out flesh out more this silly AU of mine hehe

Would you guys be interested in me making Transformers Spanish content by any chance :o??

I could try to do an English translation for my fellow English speakers, but I've been thinking about making some Mexican jokes and references with Transformers (specially with TFOne) since I think it would be funny and cool to put some representation of my country with them. This wouldn't mean I stop doing English content obviously, it would basically be double content since I would do in English AND Spanish stuff, so yeah lol!!

I'm interested in writing a Transformers Prime fic. I still need yet to watch the series (since I'm with G1 rn) but I've been reading some amazing fics about Prime and would love to write my own!

My main idea is to write a Transformers x OC Story. In the sense that I incorporate a female! OC with the human children of the show. But the OC is not exactly a human: she's a witch!! I would love to write a fic where magic and the supernatural exists in the Prime universe and the OC is part of this world and introduces Team Prime to the wonders of Earth's magical creatures and mysteries, along with some shenanigans and stuff like that!!

There wouldn't be any romance involving the OC with the bots or with the human children (perhaps with another OC to just make the world feel more vivid and bigger), the focus would be on found family and platonic vibes/love and stuff like that!!
