She About To Pounce

Bumblebee and Bumble Prime

G1 TFA Blitzwing

So rewatching Animated after so many years and learning Blackarachnia turned him into a triple changer (which also broke his mind) made me think “so did he originally look and act different?” And boom!

And I mean I HAD to use G1 Blitzwing as inspiration for his pre-experiment design :3

Noticed this mf only two years after watching and rewatching TFA

Next up in my AU, Team Prime’s most skilled fighter who values her privacy, Arcee.

Reserved, sassy, and occasionally cynical, Arcee may come off as the most distant member of the team (she is), but she holds no ill-will towards her teammates and respects them… to some extent. She wields her sword and a lot of knives and is exceptionally skilled in melee combat. This choice of arsenal is reflected in a swift and direct fighting style too ruthless and out of place for a mere Autobot soldier. While she won’t think twice about fighting alongside her teammates, she’s not going to hold their hands at her own expense. She prioritizes one thing above all else: survival.

Dwelling in poverty within the underground levels of Kalis, Arcee worked, stole, and fought every day to protect her sister Firestar, who suffers from a processor disconnect that left her erratic and compulsive. When the war began and Kalis seceded to the Decepticons, they were both “offered” an escape.

Firestar was designated as Flamewar.

Arcee? Nightbird.

Nightbird was assigned covert and reconnaissance operations, eventually receiving assassination missions targeting Providence governors, senators, and Autobot commanders. Even Optimus Prime himself on one occasion, but failed after underestimating him. As the war became bloodier, more neutrals were caught in the crossfire and any who remained in Decepticon territory were treated poorly. Nightbird began questioning her leader’s motives and realized she couldn’t fight for them anymore. She approached her sister with a plan to escape off world, but Flamewar had become so ideologically devoted to the Decepticon cause it led to a violent confrontation and Arcee fled on her own.

Somehow, Arcee ended up joining the Autobots and is stuck on some rock with the very leader she tried to offline, but Prime seems content with her for some reason. As for their mission, she does not see the point and is just counting down the days until something happens. She does have some entertainment with her new wood carving hobby and whatever human media Bee bugs her with. Flam- Firestar does come up in her thoughts sometimes…  wondering if she’s still out there.

Hi I love this little face so much

Hi! You have been visited by the Blitzwing of “Bad Ideas”!

Feeling your impulses taking over? Go for it. Blitzwing will be the frat boy that encourages you and gets you IN these situations, but will also help get you OUT!

Hey, y’all remember that time the Autobots huddled up to plan cause they were getting their entire asses beat and Blitzwing just fuckin stood there posin’?

Honestly one of my favourite moments in the show; top three at least! Only Blitzwing would be like “yo FUCK Megatron, I wanna see how hard these bitches can HIT ME!!!”

My AU version of the great Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobot Coalition.

The Prime is renowned as the noble and courageous leader of the Autobot cause against the Decepticons in their war for the future of Cybretron. But personally, he’s just trying to be the person he aspires to be and focusing on doing the right things regardless of status. Carrying himself as a modest, compassionate, and optimistic individual who seeks the good in others. On the battlefield, he leads from the front, taking the fight to the enemy. Though, more out of a much deeper obligation than just being the leader.

He also commands his own team of his most trusted allies and closest friends, Team Prime. Optimus knows his limitations, so he constantly looks to them for their advice and individual skillsets.

Despite his beloved leadership, some questions arose around him; how did Cyberton’s first Prime in eons ascended from the shadows, who or what was he before, etc.  Zero record of him exists within all archives, nothing. Few claim to recognize him from the gladiator pits of Kaon, fighting alongside the arena’s nameless champions. Optimus never talks about his background with anyone, not even Elita.

In fact, he refuses to open up about anything. As Cybertron became a metallic wasteland and the losses worsened, he felt the most responsible, even in moments when circumstances were out of his control. This instance has taken a toll on him and whenever he is offered help, he replies by changing the subject and wearing a smile. And it’s only gotten worse as the war continues.

Now stranded on Earth with his current team, Optimus works non-stop in his quest to find the Ark and Alpha Trion, all while trying to maintain morale. He hardly gets a moment to appreciate the world he was led to, but when he does, its calm and peaceful nature inspires him for what Cybertron should be once the war ends. Bumblebee’s newfound passion definitely played a hand in that. But he's not blind to the planet’s vulnerability. To avoid any further involvement with more humans, he orders his team to stay discrete. His anxiety grows every day they don’t find the ark, and they can’t try to contact Elita until then, putting both Cybertron and Earth at risk.

Optimus knows Megatron is looking for him, and a reunion on this innocent world terrifies him.

BLITZWING REDESIGN!!!

He tries his best when it comes to designing weapons, but 80% of the time it ends up in disaster usually because of a tiny error.

If you have any questions for him, drop them in the comments or the ask box ;)
