Originally planned to do a Shattered Glass version of this, but I can’t quite figure out what sort of color scheme I’d given them (thinking Ruination would use the Build-Team’s colors, but not sure if Scourge would use Optimus or Magnus’ palette)
Hi so I know that this is out of absolutely nowhere but imagine for a moment that Shattered Glass Optimus has captured the Cons’ human
He’s absolutely terrifying in my particular headcanoned AU, the whole of Australia had already fallen to the Autobots before the Cons could stop it, this man has killed thousands if not millions of humans
“Okay!” she splutters, cringing in pain at her broken ribs. “Okay, I’ll— I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you where the Deception base is.”
He smiles, a cruel and cold motion that she hopes she’ll never have to see again.
“Good,” he replies calmly, regarding her with narrowed optics.
“We’re… we’re staying with Candice,” she replies heavily, as though it’s a betrayal of everything she believes in. Her whole body shudders and her head drops, hiding her face from his view.
“…who is this… ‘Candice’?” Optimus inquires slowly, watching the woman for any signs of a lie. She starts to shake, almost violently.
“Can—,” her voice falters, tone shaking. She says nothing for a long moment.
“Tell me who Candice is, or I will make you regret it,” Optimus warns. She finally raises her head, and a shock of realization has him warily ready to step back.
Her face is split in the widest grin he’s ever seen.
CAN YOU IMAGINE
Getting this crazy space hitler guy to fall for Candice, of all things??? God I can imagine she does it more than once, with different ones every time like ‘we got it at sawcon’ or ‘this was planned so I could infect you with ligma’ or just pretending to reach into her pockets for some sort of document but just pulling out a middle finger
He was also definitely streaming this to the Decepticons, and Knockout definitely started cackling as soon as she said Candice
Also he does make her regret it, but not enough to not laugh her ass off about it for the rest of her life
Idk maybe there’s no market for this but maybe I should stop pretending this isn’t a vaguepost about an OC I’m probably not gonna write
Anyways I have a lot and I mean a LOT of thoughts about this dark tfp sg universe I’ve constructed (and yeah, most of them are OC-based but sue me we have fun in this house) so feel absolutely free to ask about it, I have so much time
One of the shorter-lived Transformers gimmicks, Flywheels here is a Duocon, consisting of two vehicles that automatically transform into a single robot via spring-loaded mechanisms when the plane is pressed down on top of the tank. Only one other Duocon, Battletrap, exists.
Blitzwing! This guy was evidently the only Triple-Changer taken directly from the Diaclone toy line (thanks TFwiki), and it kind of shows in his different construction. He’s considerably smaller than later Triples, resulting in a very stiff robot form and some other compromises. But he also has a bunch of tab-and-slot connections not seen much on other transformers, which make his various parts stay latched into different positions very well even though the joints are loose and easy to move.
