Mine fields are a common hazard on Cybertron. The best countermeasure for mines is: Most Cybertronian carbots can become hovercraft and simply hover above mines to evade them.

- but, this is extremely fuel-inefficient in the Energon crisis. Most heavy Cybertronian trucks don't even bother installing this technology due to how wasteful it is compared to just rolling on wheels.

- Minesweeping crews have found a balance such that designated scouts with ground-penetrating scanners uses their hovercraft capability to safely map a mine field and chart a safe route for convoys to take on their wheels.

- although, often times, ill-prepared teams not meant for minesweeping caught in dangerous territory often just stick to hovering and take the hit on their fuel reserves when their comrades blow up out of nowhere and they realize they're in a mine field

 

The Marvel UK versions of the Scavengers still hang out and are friends in that timeline.

 

BLUE SEEKER: Thundercracker
PURPLE SEEKER: Skywarp
GENERIC CLONES: The Insecticons

NEW BLUE SEEKER: Scourge
NEW PURPLE SEEKER: Cyclonus
NEW GENERIC CLONES: The Sweeps

It ain't hard folks.

 

In my headcanon, planet Micro (later renamed Zone) is named Microtron.

(Yes, I know that's a Micronauts term, but it wouldn't be the first time Hasbro properties traded names around.)

 

Eh, I think it doesn't matter. I just assume they were all dead by the time Unicron got to them. Personally I just pretend Cyclonus, Scourge, Armada, and the Sweeps were made from those nameless purple and blue seekers from the 3-part pilot.

 

The High Moon version of Dark Energon is a misidentified ancient technofluid, originally named Psychic Energon, and is simply a liquid or crystalline mass of computer nanocircuits which can provide enhanced computational power and reaction time to Cybertronians themselves, or hack technology it's applied to and link them to it. Starscream & Jetfire didn't actually think it was Dark Energon, but their attemts to keep their discovery a secret caused what little info leaked about it to be miscommunicated as being the real thing.

 

Cybertron
Paratron (Paradron)
Athenatron (Athenia)
Velocitron (Speedia)
Animatron (Animatros)
Macrotron (Gigantion/Gigalonia)
Microtron (Micro/Zone)
Combatron
Vehitron (Vehicon)
Aquatron
Beastron (Beast/Beest)
Omnitron
Dynatron (Dinosaur)
Chaotron (New Kaon)
??? (Master, MasterStar, Nebulos, Rebirth, Disaster Planet, Dominus)

 

For that last one, either Domitron or Novatron depending on whether you want to change Master or Rebirth.

 

Huh! I never thought of either of those. Good thinking!

 

logos prime is liege maximo's real name and the logos/soundblaster design is the primary look of amalgamous prime. the 13th prime is autonomous prime aka the first/last autobot

 

Y'know, that's a really cool idea. Logos Prime is a waaaayyyyy better name than Megatronus (barf) and a much more interesting character concept too.

 

As Vos is where the Elite Seeker Academy is based and the state prides itself on it, there's an expectation for most combat-grade bots to train there. This has bred a sense of superiority in those who joined the Decepticons there (like Thundercracker) over bots with flightless alt-modes to the point of apartheid. As such, Vos is the Decepticon state with the highest turnover of Autobot defectors if they can escape despite being home to one of their best academies, and most grounded bots living there turn to local gangs for survival.

 

sharkticons dont transform, they are just their own race. alpha sharkticons, like Tyrannicon, have the upright hammerhead design of RID hammerstrike. cant decide if i like the idea of gnaw being a normal sharkticon or an oddity by having the sawshark appearance of his statue in S2 of cyberverse.

 

Daytrader is a Junkion and a Mercenary.

 

A headcanon of mine is that the chords and arcs from the 2005 IDW continuity are other names for the deci-cycles and centi-cycles. The deci-cycle is 2.6 hours and a centi-cycle is 15.6 minutes.

 

I view the Cybertronians as a lot more organic than a lot of people, it seems. Like in my headcanon they’re still metallic and machine-like but it’s more of an organic metal, not one you could just find naturally. Like they wouldn’t have date compartments in them, rather their brain would be more akin to organic creatures here on earth. Idk it just seems more interesting if they’re organic (but obviously not the same way as humans).

 

Broadside wasn't always afraid of heights or being on water. He only got that way after a battle in which he got shot out of the sky and crashed into a large body of water; he would have rusted to death had his fellow Autobots not come to his rescue. Ever since then, he's been superstitious about using either of his alternate modes, afraid of living through that experience again.

 

Prowl plays competitive online tactics simulations with humans on the internet in his spare time, mainly to get a feel for how they think and to learn from their strategies. He also plays with his fellow Autobots sometimes.

It's Among Us. He plays Among Us.

 

The Decepticons, at least in IDW.

 

Given Unicron was teased in TLK, but they decided to reboot after the movie bombed, I like to imagine that the original Bay continuity was the only one where Unicron survived
