(Straight from the memo dump)
Make a predacon who protects vehicons
• Maybe a blue/purple one
• Thought maybe yellow too but then it's like breakdown
• Dosen't like starscream for obvious reasons
• Built for digging and finding energon
• It's gonna be baced on an aardvark
(After reading "Diary of a Vehicon" and "A Vehicon's Work is Never Done" on AO3 , they're so good, I added actual ideas)
Shockwave made them because he'll need a sufficient personal amount of energon for his experiments on earth (he read the reports that the autobots keep raiding mines to steal resources). He created them for solely excavating proposes, and because this predacon will be working in the mines along side vehicons he had it closely like their colors. (And some of breakdowns coincidentally)
Also given to starscream for military command too, I find it hard to see for the seeker to be given command over a flightless predacon, and this pred can fight good but they much prefer digging and eating.(Scrapped idea)
I really want breakdown to meet them so this story idea might take a "they live AU" Breaks notice how this predacon treats the vehicons. Sniffing and headbuding at them after surviving an autobot attack, placing themself between the air commander with the vehicons when they're present, and actually grabbing miners away from harm's way.
The vehicons even gave a name to them (or should breakdown have name them? Rereading this again it fits him) as diggs. This gives way to puns.
BD: *says a scrappy joke*
BD: "come on, *motions at the pred he's leaning against* at least they're digging it" ;D
The reveal of their bipedal form is surprising and terrifying still. Just imagine a bunch of vehicons running from bots and one of them is down on the ground about to be slashed by arcee, when there's a furious loud cry of "NO!" as a large figure grabs arcee midair slamming them straight into the ground then flinging her back to the autobots. The con just stares at the defensive back of their rescuer as others grab the con to escape, all the while they continue to watch this hulking fighter face off with three bots until passing through the groundbridge . After the failed raid when reinforcements finally arrived diggs was sent in for testing, they knew the other predacon had achieved a second form but they couldn't get diggs to do too.
The vehicon's are waiting for shockwave to finish testing to see their friend, diggs was able to unlock their transformation when one of them was almost killed, it was the final push for them to be like predaking. That aslo increases megatrons paranoia and further starscreams annoyances.
I'm really loving this so far, when I have more free time I'll give it a crack at writing this fully.
