Transformers: Prime
Breakdown/Knock Out
This pairing is really ripe for leaning into the nastier parts of the TFP universe. What if Knock Out kept Terrorcon Breakdown around as a test subject? What was Knock Out doing early in the war? (I'd like to see some Decepticon super-science.)
I love Knock Out and Breakdown's mutual respect, particularly contrasted with how cheerfully brutal they are to everyone else around them. I'd like to see them being horrible.
Particular likes: dark comedy; mad science; punny banter; Breakdown as a respected and valued partner; emphasis on their size difference; mechpreg (prefer Breakdown pregnant).
Wheeljack/Bulkhead
I really love the little elements of darkness in both of their characters, tempered by a genuine sweetness (more obviously in Bulkhead). I'd love to see fic that treats Bulkhead as a deeply flawed person--willing to beat "Starscream" to death without a second thought--who cares deeply for Wheeljack and his team, and whose comedic qualities don't overshadow his real competence on the battlefield. I'd also like to see these two pre- or post-war. What did Wheeljack do after the war? What was he like pre-war? Does Bulkhead's recovery from Tox-En continue to affect him?
Particular likes: explosions; difficulty with intimacy and communication; unspoken affection; clashes with old enemies; "us against the world."
Megatron & Soundwave or Megatron/Soundwave
I'm really interested in the early days of the revolution here. What were Megatronus and Soundwave like as gladiators? Were they rivals? Brothers in arms? If you want to write their relationship as romantic, I'd be interested in unrequited affection running either way--particularly if Soundwave can't reciprocate Megatron's interest. I'm also interested in hearing about Soundwave as a Councilor, if you choose to go that route with his backstory.
For this pairing, I DNW the cassettes portrayed as Soundwave's children or other family of any kind.
Megatron/Orion Pax
I love the layers of betrayal, hurt, and resentment here. I'd love something set just before Orion is declared the new Prime, or else something set during the "Orion Pax" arc of Season 2. The twistier and crueler, the better.
Transformers Cyberverse
Starscream & Quintessons
The sheer horror in the Quintesson arc blew me away. I'd like something focusing on Starscream's experiences at the hands/tentacles of the Quintesson scientist: how much is he still Starscream? Why is he so dominant over the other heads (and what species are they)? What did he go through in that lab? How loyal is he to the Quintessons? This would be a great one for body horror.
Transformers IDW
Rattrap/Starscream
I'm eager to see anything you come up with for this pairing! The political plotlines in TAAO were my favorite part of IDW, and I loved Rattrap's slipperiness and the complexity of his relationship with Starscream. I'd like to see Rattrap trying to save Starscream from himself...or perhaps trying to save Cybertron from him. Bonus points if you can work in some conflict with the ordinary people or the Council of Worlds.
I DNW:
-Gender/sexuality headcanons, e.g., non-canon pronouns
-PIV/spike-in-valve sex
-Scat
-Watersports
-Soulmate AUs
-Humanformers
-Noncon or dubcon sex
Art Likes:
I'm open to any style, including more symbolic representations of a scene.
I like meaningful touches, physical intimacy (not necessarily sex, although that might be fun), robogore, moments of action, in-universe documents, fun things with light and shadow, and scenery. If you choose to draw for TFP, I'd really like the characters in a scenic Nevada desert. A single moment from any of my prompts would also be great.
Art DNWs:
Please don't give the TFP characters noses.
