HAPPY BIRTHDAY @danedraws 🥳🎉🎊🎁🎂🍰

Best way to describe her and Megatron’s dynamic in this AU is “Dad and the cat he said he didn’t want”

Sparkplug has an ability to force bots to be honest, a really good ability in a war. So when Blackaracnia dose convince her to switch teams, Megaton only lets her stay because of her usefulness.

However he dose end up getting attached to her simply because she’s good at what she does. She listens to him but isn’t a fanatic, able to have a witty back and forth with him (thanks to her getting a lot of her personality from Ratchet), and keeps the ship running smoothly. Unlike his other most loyal followers, she’s not fighting for his praise… she’s fighting for her own self worth…something much more volatile.

He actively has her be at his side as she is a good assistant to have, especially when so many of your workers are dishonest

However I do think he sees her as mostly a pet. A beloved one don’t get me wrong, however more work would have to be done to have him truly see her as an equal rather than a pet

I really do think he has her like this sometimes:

Oh wow, you’re right! I wasn’t aware they had frames that kind of look like this. Then I read on the TFWiki that when a bot gets put into this position/job, they actually move your spark from the original frame to this one… a spark transplant…

Au 1: it's a cult au where Shockwave is running a cult to gain my followers(decepticons soldiers) for Megatron, Bee was born into the cult but his bio parent were killed for betraying the cause(They were autobot spys) and Shockwave got attached to bee and kinda crowned bee the saint/saintess of the cult.

Au 2: a Dungeon meshi au where Shockwave is the mad mage and turns to Bee into a chimera to make him forget his old life and it easier to keep bee with him

Au 1 is such a interesting idea since in the discord server there’s often that idea tho it’s not really explored on BUT I’m super interested in hmmmmm

Shockwave using bee to show that even with autobot parents bee still a decepticons to show that their following the right cause 🤔

Au2 there actually a vague idea for that au in the discord server tho since I haven’t caught up completely I’m not too knowledgeable on dungeon mushi

Here a link to the server

Sentinel dropped the lance and lowered the shield standing upright looking offended. His servos trembling. Standing there so still as  their optics meet.

"I heard the news he made Prime after I got off that blasted planet!"

Sari looked on toward the mech who looked so... so... so... angry.

A single punch and she was down for the count knocking off her helmet.  She looked over quite alarmed by the sudden move. Sari looked in disgust and shock at the strange head the spider lady had.

"Optimus..." Sentinel started. "You don't deserve to say that designation." He stood between Sari and the femme. "Ever."

His look was dark watching her reach for the helm and he stomped on her servo causing her to cry out.

"He went in after her."

"No, he didn't!"

"Yes, he did."

"Get your pede of my servo!"

"He failed to save her spark." He took out his lance. "He came out of.... badly damaged. And he ...went..." Sentinel dimmed his optics closed. "Offline a thousand stellar cycles ago."

"I don't believe a single word!"

Sentinel's optics hummed on.

"He succumbed to his injuries.."

"Then why is he listed as Optimus Prime!"

"Because Ultra Magnus liked him."

Sentinel kicked her away from him

been taking wayyy too much time to make this 😭

anyway, my girl never has had a normal day in the office

My only contribution to "applying polish memes to transformers fandom" is that I can see "Nieznany Kibic - Pazdan Boy" as Blitzwing fooling around during an interview regarding a military promotion (not Megatron's inner circle, yet) and Strika having to watch all of that.

Circa the middle of The Great War. (Pre-TC tfa Blitzwing, ofc). And she could be a close friend of Megatron's, mind you (this HC is very dear to me). Were her consort in that room too, he'd be absolutely flabbergasted. Of course his praises towards Megatron are still superior to that parody, but... yeah, a terrible parody would be hitting his audio receptors.

I spent several listenings thinking about how the lyrics could be switched and how ridiculous would that look sgjgjdjjtjvjdk him getting to do terrible jokes as pre-TC—my beloved

These range from a few months to a week ago.

The ones with shaded hair are meant to indicate that they’re a younger Optimus. I just have this idea in my head that while the Allspark revived Optimus, it also changed his hair color from a navy black to a blueish white. Kinda like its own energy lingering/imprinting within him.

Also I really dislike the human error designs, cuz only Ratchet seems alright? but what about everyone else??? Prowl design is just atrocious 😭 Bulkhead could be tweaked at least, and honestly I just don’t vibe with Optimus’ design like at all.

Then again, there’s very few of the Transformers I could imagine to be white..(Sentinel)

Sooo I personally draw Optimus as a Blasian man, thats at least somewhere around his 30s ( Im still working on how to draw aged characters)
