Introduction
Well, let's go.
You somehow found my fanfiction and decided to read it. In order to avoid a situation like "mice and a transforming, but very aggressive red-eyed cactus", it is worth reading the introduction and deciding whether you need to read this fanfiction. And since you decided to read it, well, as they say, you were warned. My opinion in many ways does not coincide with the canon, I can rotate this canon in my favor (and such an ambiguous and contradictory canon as the world of transformers, even more so), interpret events in different ways. I take information from comics, cartoons, and movies, making up my world story the way I want it. In general, I can (and will) do various God-abominable things with the canon.
And now a little more about what might be.
Let's start with the world in which everything happens, or put in a word about the poor canon.
This story is written in the Transformers universe.
But! As always, there are a couple of nuances.
Firstly, the warnings specify AU (Alternative Universe). If you hover over the warning (for the Ficbook), you can read the following: "AU is a story in which characters from the canon world find themselves in another world or in other circumstances unrelated to the canon. It could also be another fork in the canon events."
In my opinion, it is quite an exhaustive definition. And for those who have forgotten or did not know, I want to remind you that changing one event entails changing the whole story. This is the so-called causal relationship, which is reflected in the event series (chain of events), it is also the logic of the narrative. Therefore, changing one event changes everyone's much-loved canon beyond recognition.
Secondly. As for the canon itself. It is ambiguous and contradictory both in the cartoons themselves (anime is also a kind of cartoon, if anyone has forgotten) and in the films, it has many event inconsistencies and contradictions, and in many ways the logic and psychology of the characters are not respected.
Third. Again, regarding the canon that some people love. The scriptwriters turned it the way they wanted. Something was added, something was changed to the exact opposite. So it's ridiculous to talk about a strict canon system. If desired, you can find evidence that Megatron is Optimus' older brother, or vice versa, that they are generally representatives of two different species and one of them (poor Megatron) It was created by the Allspark (Energy Cube, Great Spark, Matrix of Leadership) in other words - a natural-born being, as far as this definition is suitable for a cybernetic life form, and the other (Prime, which is Optimus) was created artificially by some incomprehensible "Creators" from "living metal", which requires (unexpectedly) organic matter. Moreover- it is alive. Oil and plastic, apparently, did not come out with mugs.
Fourth. Again, about him, about the poor.
Everyone understands the canon in their own way.
The same notorious energon. Initially, it was neither toxic nor dangerous and did not cause any harm to organics. Then suddenly, at the behest of the cartoon's scriptwriters, he went berserk and picked up all sorts of nastiness, got acquainted with a dark relative, made an agreement and became toxic, turning into "undead water": it seems like he is toxic and generally harmful to people's lives, but he can treat injuries inflicted by a dark evil brother without harm to the victim.
And right there in the comics, people climb up to their ears with this energon, and nothing happens to them. Other organics (not humans) actually swam in it. And also nothing.
The canon is so canonical...
I'm not saying that energon changes color the way people breathe: all the time. Sometimes it's iridescent, sometimes it's light blue, sometimes it's pink, then purple, then orange, then suddenly green or red... especially when it splashes out in the form of blood from the unfortunate transformers. Oh, yes, these poor devils sometimes have some strange body fluids (saliva, yeah), then they seem to crystallize and disappear, then something else....
The arbitrariness of the scriptwrit... sorry, mysticism!
We will continue with the poor transformers
Whose origin is vague, confusing, contradictory, and incomprehensible to the Transformers themselves: the Prime, which is Optimus, says "this is how our race was born," and then Lockdown also piously convinces that some Creators riveted them on their knees from metal created from poor dinosaurs (well, or from other poor devils, which is not the point) and, most importantly, Optimus completely agrees with this assurance. The backstory to the film shows how the Transformers were created by the Allspark on Cybertron (by the way, the Cube was in the temple in Kaon) for some idiots.
They would have decided eventually!
The time and reasons for their appearance on Earth are equally vague, mysterious, and beyond logical analysis. In cartoons, one thing, in a movie, another, and a third at once with time inconsistencies and so on.
I don't say anything about comics at all. I only found five different Soundwaves there. Instantly! And they even differed in color and size. And the carcass configuration. I will also keep silent about the three simultaneous Shockwaves. In general, they are interesting creatures, with a vague history and an incomprehensible origin.
I am generally silent about the reasons for their deaths: according to one version of events, they are hidden in the darkness of history and buried so deeply that they cannot be found with a hundred grams. On the other hand, they are more than clear, but then the Autobots look frankly ... unpleasant companions.
You can choose anything, and all diametrically opposed stories are equally canonical (one is cartoons, the second is comics, the third is movies, and there is also a fourth book).
About personal fuckers, in the sense of the psychology and personality of our large and not quite organic friends, especially about the pens of the formidable Lord Megatron and his impossible, in the sense NOT possible under normal conditions, shoals.
It's possible to talk about Prime's glitches and the distortions in his character and personality for a long time. There is pathos, and unjustified reverence for people (who, for him, as for a theoretically eternal being, should be somewhere on the level of "ordinary, active cockroach"), the actual betrayal of his species and his native planet, bringing his own comrades under the axe, amazing brainlessness and lack of sanity of mind in his presence. In general, a lot of things. And this is despite the amazing cruelty of Orion Pax (and that was the name of our dear Optimus before he was struck by the Matrix, if anyone does not know).
And, most importantly, PATHOS! The sea, the oceans of PAPHOS!
No, I understand that he is a Prime (you can cry from the actions of other Primes in general, some Zeta and Sentinel are worth something), but you need to have a brain. I mean, use them, not fuck them.
But, back to Megatron.
The story of the main villain of the entire disepticon is sad. Lord Megatron seems to be smart, reasonable and dangerous, he is an excellent and experienced leader and combat commander, his subordinates are powerful, they kill with difficulty, but they constantly merge for some nonsense reasons. Is that their karma? After each major, fatal defeat, Meg is not even allowed to die normally: just a little bit - resuscitation discharge and come on, dear Meg, work for the benefit of society, and we will set you up again and let you down, or let you down and set you up... or we will bring an ally who will betray you, let you down and set you up, or the authorities (who appeared from out of nowhere) we will inform, which will deceive, frame and betray. In general, life is wonderful, and we love you very much! And don't you dare die! We'll find it anyway, we'll get it from the bottom of the ocean, we'll take each other for spare parts, but we'll make you live! Bad, but not for long! And then - in a circle.
Cartoons with poor Megatron do about the same thing as movies: Unicron won't let you die, then a healing spark will discharge, then Shockwave (or Soundwave) will be reanimated, then something else will happen, but the beloved, brutalized toy of the Allspark will certainly be revived and thrown into the hottest cauldron. Meg doesn't know how to sit in corners and doesn't want to.
What can I say, an extreme guy. Active, trying to do something, achieve something, get something. Well done, in general.
But Meg just wants greatness for her race. Not a bad wish, by the way.
Does he hate people? Well, which of us is not without a flaw?
But that's not the point. It's about personality and character.
Interestingly, Megatron's personality is surprisingly stable throughout the canon (including cartoons), adjusted for events: he is a smart, charismatic and very calculating leader, an excellent military commander, a great fighter, and so on. And his periodic completely abnormal and incomprehensible paddocks occur surprisingly timely: exactly when, according to the plot, it's time for him to die in the name of the Great Good. Well, or just lose in the name of the same, the good. That's it, and all the brains, the mind of a military leader, prudence, the ability to analyze a situation, tactical genius, the ability to fight, and all the like are somehow abruptly replaced by the behavior of a teenager trying to foolishly assert himself.
Strange. Or is it Prime that affects him so much? Did you bite his?
There was no pathos, there was no pathos, and then suddenly, how he tramples, how he tramples... That's right, Prime got bitten!
Or is pathos transmitted by airborne droplets? Along with the loss of common sense and combat experience for millions of years. Yes, the arbitrariness of the scriptwriters is such an arbitrariness: evil must surely die at the hands of GH, even if he can smear this GH with bloody porridge all over the planet. And do not forget, when fighting with GH - Heads the Evil One abruptly becomes dull, squints, weakens and forgets to use his brains. He catches a debuff like that. Yeah, self-renewing.
At the same time, before its ridiculous death / defeat, Evil IS BOUND to fail spectacularly. Thoroughly so that everything he painstakingly did for the entire movie/series/comic book would go to waste, preferably in front of his eyes (yes, the collapse of Cybertron in front of poor Meg, who so badly wanted to save and reanimate him). Evil must SUFFER! Here! Moreover, in such a way as not to arouse sympathy: maliciously, with pathos and stupid pens, where would it be without them, relatives.
And it's easy to find out that Evil is going to mess up: before that, he either makes a throne for himself, or necessarily assumes a pretentious pose, copying Prime (exactly, bitten!), or pushes some kind of heresy to Starscream, who listens to him faithfully, in general, behaves strangely and unnaturally.
Oh, yeah. Starscream.
A wonderful intelligence officer, the leader of Cybertron's best seeker triad (and for a moment, the Seekers are distant star intelligence among their other functions), one of the best spies and saboteurs of the Dis, who deceived two Prime rulers along with the entire Senate combined, who suddenly turned into a complete, complete moron, hungry for power. And constantly betraying his leader, to whom he is infinitely loyal (the words of Starscream himself, when he kneels before the wounded gladiator: "Megatron. I give you my undying loyalty.") Which, by the way, is perfectly confirmed by the comics.
Honestly, I like this sicker bastard, but he turned into a solid flying joint by the will of the scriptwriters! And Megatron's phrase: "You let me down again!" stretches like a red thread from the first episodes of cartoons to the movie inclusive.
And how come Meg hasn't nailed him for that yet? It's true, the man's nerves are adamantine and his patience is cosmic. Or he remembers the last Starscream, who is a great scout and schemer, who brought him victory in the uprising.
About power and the desire to get it
One minute Meg craves power to the point of bloody autobots in his eyes, then he meekly gives it to another and even bends his knee (yeah, to Prime, the one who said: "I made a career out of killing Primes"), then he makes a throne for himself (the name justifies or just suffers from nonsense)... and again the power gives away. He's kind of inconsistent....
So does he want power, or does he not give a damn about this stuff?
The canon convinces - it longs.
And the events in the canon show that he doesn't really crave it, and even so he has this power, how much more? And so under him is the entire military elite of the race (remember who the disepticons are).
Although, if you want and have the right imagination, you can find any explanation or come up with it and string it like an owl on a globe.
Okay, long blah blah, that's interesting. But let's get to the specifics.
What you WON'T SEE in this fanfiction:
You will not see openly crooked-armed and stupid disepticons. Be realistic. These are action movies, gladiators. They should be able to fight on the level of unconditional instinct! And the fighting is excellent. Crooked-armed people simply do not live with this lifestyle (do not forget that gladiatorial fights were to the death)! And no need to tell tales about how they are always easily killed. Take away the arbitrariness of the screenwriters, and the Autobots' lives would be sad but short.
You won't find the all-conquering Optimus Prime. No matter how you look at it, Megatron is much more powerful and has much more combat experience. You will not see how disepticons suffer from strabismus in its extreme degree. Yes, they are living beings, a full-fledged Artificial personality, capable of emotions and illogical actions, but they are cybernetic creatures with all the bonuses of such a mind carrier. They are accurate, they know how to calculate the pre-emption of a shot.
So it's quite possible to shoot so that their target lies down and no longer gets up. Make adjustments for the target's speed... well, you get the idea.
You won't see such a disgrace as was shown to us in the first film (I'm silent about cartoons - they were filmed for children and therefore the level of cruelty, logic and so on is adjusted to the perception of children), when a crowd of diss couldn't shoot these military idiots.
Don't tell me stories about shelters and stuff. No one canceled their thermal imagers, along with their cold logic and vast combat experience.
They've been fighting for millions of years! That is, that helicopter (which Blackout) could bring down the entire military base alone, but not a dozen people? It's ridiculous and unrealistic.
You won't find the ubiquitous "Grave Wind".
Let's be realistic, they don't teleport. They drive on their own. Well, or they fly. And any movement takes time. Sometimes a lot.
You won't find... yes, you won't find a lot of things from the canon. And a lot of things you'll suddenly discover, but I won't describe them anymore, and that's how the sheet turned out.
