So. I like Astrotrain, he's a great guy and I think a triple changer- combiner member would be pretty cool.

Given how big he is, he'd probably be the torso (and could carry around his team members, much to his disliking lol).

And I mean maybeee the team leader? There is this one G1 episode where he declares himself king of some moon and I mean there's the whole Triple Takeover thing...

But also you don't have to go with the torso always being the leader, so that's still up for debate.

Cosmos would be nice as some sort of space pal to Astro lol

I think it would be funny, if these two knew each other from flying around in space. They don't fight up there (both are on their break) and just kinda go "Hey." "Hey." when flying past each other, or play space poker or something idk

Blaster I wanted to add in for the vibes. He's a fun music man, and he'd bring an upbeat tone to the group. Howeverrr I also wanted there to be drama and I do enjoy Blaster and Soundwaves riverly, so I put him in as well (Auto- Bob is a great episode!!).

Also, with the two we'd have two music player Transformers.

If they all combine, I'd imagine these two would become the arms and maybe their combined form would have speakers, a lot of dance moves and a good music taste lol

I'd imagine they can just make their arms play music and dance around whenever they like (who's gonna stop them? They're big!) and also they would have a little hype group with all of Blasters and Soundwaves cassettes combined.

Of which there are... A lot

I think that'd be a cute image, just this really big guy with a bunch of Minicons on them, and dancing around to different types of music.

Oh and not to forget about Tracks (he might be pissy that I'm mentioning him last though...)

Like I said, I thought it would be cool, if the Combiner was musically interested, and with Cosmos being a leg, they'd probably be able to lift off with anti gravity boosters a little or something.

So, in order for them to do cool dance moves in the sky/ jump high, I thought it be good to add someone else in who could fly. And Tracks is a cool character+ he's a flying car!

(And I mean... he is pretty focused on his looks, so I think I'd be funny, if he were a leg, with walking in all the dirt etc. hehe).

There you would have another conflict: Tracks being absolutely sick of combining!

I mean he's also good friends with Blaster, so there'd be another fun dynamic in the team.

But yeah, I would say their combined form would be a typical combiner and probably a pretty chill guy.

In general, I think I'd be cool, if they are space/ disco themed and maybe a have "live in the moment" mentality, since they don't often exist/ not very long, given how their components are from diffrent factions...

(Maybe their name could be Luminous or something.

Like someone who "lights up" the vibe when they're around and also stars are defined as "self illuminated objects in space" and given 2/5 of their guys are space themed... I think that could fit).

A veryyyyy rough sketch of the team& Luminous:

Not sure with the design, but I thought maybe they could have a space- helmet shaped helmet. Also, do you know how sometimes on displays there are these little bars which go up and down, depending how loud the music is?

Maybe their visior could have that, but the design is just a general idea.

I mean we got the typical Megatron created the Stunticons as a weapon of war situation and after some time lost interest in them& they started to get troublesome

They were loud and created a lot of chaos, so he assigned someone to look after them and teach them at least to some degree how to behave (I mean as their creator it technically would've been his responsibility, but responsible& Megatron... ehhhhh doesn't really go hand in hand)

So he picked someone he knew he could.. well I wouldn't say trust, more like someone we knew wouldn't betray him (given the loyalty coding): Onslaught

He knows Onslaught is bound to listen to his commands and can't outright speak against Megatron, so he has the reassurance that Ons won't try to influence Motormaster against him

He was placed to watch over Motors specifically, since he is the leader of our favourite car group and thus is seen as the one who 'fails', when his team steps out of line.

So, how'd Motors react to the news?

He agreed because it was something his leader commanded (and his leader is always right, right?) but on the inside he was very much against it.

He? Needing help? With what?? He's an amazing fighter AND gestalt leader. He doesn't need somebody looking over his shoulder and judge him. He's great!!

So at the start he was being a littleeee petty and stubborn. I could imagine Onslaught wasn't the happiest at first either, because did he really need the extra work of mentoring a youngling? He never saw himself quite as a mentor either and the Stunticons well.. had their reputation

But he VERY soon realized the stuff, that was up with Motors and why he acts this way

I believe Motors admires Megatron a lot, like idolises him even.

To him he's a perfect leader, strong and undefeatable on the battlefield. Someone who takes command and who is respected by everyone.

He strives to be that, this powerful fighter he believes Megatron is.

The thing is Motormatser is young, so if he sees someone strong, in the physical sense, that's immediately someone great to him

Now obviously, that's not all what being a leader is about. And Megatron isn't the best at the other stuff. I do believe he's a caple, dangerous and cunning fighter but commanding these giant troops?

Not so much his style. (He's too prideful to admit that though)

So, the situation we have at hand now, is Motors trying so, so hard to impress Megatron. By acting just like him (all his negative traits included which obviously causes issues with his gestalt) and training himself to the point of exhaustion, in order to prove himself.

Now here comes Ons who, as stated before, soon realized this and goes "Oh. Oh NO." and tries his best to be there for Motors.

He's teaching him general fighting stuff, tries to hammer into Motors head how important strategy is (which isn't easy) and watches over him, so that he doesn't overwork himself. And while he can't really tell Motors that Megatron sucks (again cause of the coding) he does try to nudge him into the direction of realizing that Megatron is... Not THAAAT good of a leader actually

That however is a very hard pill for Motors to swallow, along with the fact that Megatron basically does not care about him and his brothers. Down the road he probably does but that takes a whileee

In that time Ons is always there for him. Yeah, at the start Motors was definitely extremely grumpy about the fact, he had to be mentored but, surprisingly to him, the stuff Ons teaches him works. And he's there for Motors, if he asks questions AND doesn't yell at him for messing up, which... is nice

He slowly gains the realisation that Ons is actively trying to be there for him. And deep down that makes him very happy

So I feel like subconsciously he really starts to trust Onslaught, which shows in him being more relaxed around him, listening to his commands (insane!!) etc.

So yeah, he does learn to care about him *cough* and see him as a father figure *cough*

Maybeee if you wanna add some drama at some point he learns about the coup Onslaught& the Combaticons committed

And he really doesn't know how to feel about that, again because he believes Megatron to be the perfect leader...

But yeah he definitely cares about him and Ons cares back, they might not openly mention it but it's very obvious and they have their own little language

As to the Scrapper part of the questions: I feel like both the Combaticons and Constructicons in general look over the Stuntis.. they're, as you said "wild youngsters", so all help is needed lmao

But I do think Scrapper specifically helps Ons with Motormaster. Given he's also a gestalt leader and... closeeee to Onslaught *wink wink*.

He'd be there if either of them needed someone to talk to
