A little more on that idea-
The reason he acts so childish is because he died as the cybertronian equivalent of a teenager Or early twenties.
When Megatron finds out that he basically killed a teenager, and doomed that teenager to a life and a role that he didn't want. He is horrified with himself (I believe in Megatron having morals and not believing in killing sparkling or younglings during the war).
No one sees him for two weeks.
Also, after brainstorm finds out he starts working on a way for Rodimus to start aging again. Rodimus is very thankful for that, bit sadly no one lets brainstorm use what he invented for fear of it killing Rodimus.
Brainstorm came up with seven different ways, and made seven different machines for those ways, in two months. Three of those inventions can fix the problem, two of them will just make Rodimus a baby (no actual way of fixing that), one of them will actually kill Rodimus, and the last one will turn Rodimus invisible (not sure how that works).
I heard a sound on tik tok where a character said they are the same age forever, and that got my brain puting rodimus in there.
SO, rodimus who's stuck the same age he was as when he died, both physically and mentally.
The matrix revived him, but he just, stopped aging. He doesn't even realize it until someone points it out to him.
I imagine he doesn't tell the crew cause he doesn't want pity. But then one time he's very drunk and out of it and just starts talking and making everyone concerned.
Hear me out, a rodimus who believes that hot rod is dead (he doesn't wanna believe that he is hot rod).
Whenever he talks about his past before becoming rodimus, instead of saying "I did" he says "so hot rod...". And nobody knows why he talks like he isn't hot rod.
They don't understand until Megatron gets so annoyed by that, that he starts demending rodimus to stop talking like he isn't hot rod.
And rodimus just looks him, dead in the optics, and says: "But I am not hot rod, I am rodimus. Hot rod is dead. Don't you remember Megatron? You were the one who killed him after all, weren't you?"
And after he says it there is just silence. Because nobody knows how to react or what to say.
Nobody knows how to react to finding out that too become a prime, their captain literally died (I like to believe that rodimus doesn't like to talk about how he became a prime). That he died at the servos of the mech who became his co-captaim years later.
Or that he believes that who he was before is still dead. and not even the matrix can bring him back.
Technically, no. But as a person who collects cool rocks I decided that it does count as rock collecting for I would also put him in my rock collection
does having literally 3,400 pics of rock lee in my phone make me a rock collector
I know the sort of common consensus is IDW Hot Rod/Rodimus being with the Wreckers (probably mainly because of AHM), or just a reserve Wrecker, but I would like to present another potential option:
SpecOps agent Hot Rod/Rodimus.
Hello transformers fans.
Here is a thought I just had about transformers one. More specifically the fight between starscream and D-16/ megatron.
Do you think that the only reason as to way starscream lost the fight was because he was starving from lack of energon?
I mean, he was the leader of the high guard, he fought against the quintesons (I don't know how to write it) in the war. He also kept probably most of the high guard safe and surviving on the surface.
Yet he lost to a mach who only got his t-cog like a few hours before.
I don't know about you but for me it's weird.
So I came up with the explanation that starscream lost the fight only because he was starving himself so his soldiers and the mach under his commend won't die.
Because with the lost of their primes, their leaders, he was now technically the leader and only one incharge. So he decided that he would not disappoint his primes by kipping their army and the mach they entrusted him with safe.
Even at the exchange/ price of his own life.
@alebee Sadly I don't know how to write. BUT I will try and make something out. It won't be that good and probably very ooc, but I will try. (If anyone else wants to write that one shot you are welcome to do it)
I need either Brainstorm or Perceptor or literally ANYBOT on the Lost light to somehow make the cybertronian equivalent of those ADHD meds that make your emotions disappear (you know the type, every Neurodivergent person who takes meds had them), And somehow those meds/drags get into rodimus's energon.
I just want the ENTIRE SHIP in chaos cause rodimus is ACTUALLY WORKING! (What?).
Like, Megatron and ultra Magnus having an existential crisis.
Drift being concerned for his emica (you write it like that?) cause he doesn't wanna race.
Ratchet and all the medics on the ship trying to get rodi into the med bay to give him a check up.
All of the other bots being 100% SURE that rodimus is possessed or got replaced.
And at the same time that the entire crew is panicking, Rodimus is enjoying having his processor go about 950 MPH for the first time in his life. (He is able to do his work without getting distracted or bored after five minutes).
The crew notices rodimus's lack of emotions, rodimus himself does not.
I cannot hold it in any longer, so here are some of my favorite transformers headcanons:
1. transformers rescue bots blades is non-binary. Every time I watch the show and see blades I just think:" ah, that is a non-binary they/them robot if I've ever seen one"
2. Rescue bots chase as autism. I am not explaining this one.
3. all of the rescue bots have guilt about being asleep for most of the war and surviving while all the other rescue bots didn't.
4. MTMTE rodimus as AUDHD (autism and ADHD). he is also between non-binary to agender in my mind. (I am not explaining myself).
5. Seekers have no gender.
6. Bumblebee as autism.
7. Starscream as sociopath tendencies and is a psychopath.
what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?
would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?
More for this au (my brain really likes it):
Hot rod told Rodimus stories about his time in the wreckers and his life before the war and during. He also told him about nyon and its history and culture. And Rodimus, wanting to give respect to hot rod and make sure he's also happy, decides to take on the culture of nyon as his own.
He tells the wreckers that he isn't hot rod. He believes that it won't be fair for them to not know, nor will it be fair for him to try and act like someone he is not.
They don't believe him. And Rodimus doesn't blame them for not believing (he's aware that what he told them is insane, and also that they don't want to believe that a mech who was their friend died and the matrix just made an entirely new mach to possess his dead body).
The problem is that even after the war and at the lost light nobody believes that he isn't hot rod. And Rodimus does get annoyed by that, but he also doesn't want to hurt them, so he doesn't say anything.
Hot rod is pretty pissed though. He understands why Rodimus doesn't say anything, but he also knows how much it annoys him that no one believes what he says. (Hot rod tried on multiple occasions to communicate with the wreckers and other machs through their dreams just to be able to yell at them and explain that Rodimus isn't laying, and actually isn't hot rod).
Am au where rodimus isn't actually hot rod, but a manifestation that the matrix created of an entirely new mach.
But the problem is that he (rodimus) is literally a sparkling.
All of his knowledge is from the matrix. But the matrix (and primus) were stupid and only gave him the most basic knowledge, like how to speak, read, write, transform, and other basic stuff.
But they (the matrix and primus) forgot to give him the mind and mentality of an adult mach. So it's literally a Shazam situation with a child (sparkling) in a grown up body. The only difference is, this sparkling can never change out of the adult body into the one he was supposed to have, and his stuck acting like something and someone who isn't him.
FINALLY got a name for my tf cybervers au. It's now called- The yellow guardians au
From now on whenever I will post about it I will use that name. NOW onto more stuff about it:
- bee and cheetor know that the decepticons and autobots are on earth. Cheetor saw windblade when she was hiding from the seekers.
- bee was the reason that tell X started helping and listening to WB (windblade).
- bee is a triple changer, his alt forms are the car mode he uses in the show and an honey badger (there is a big chance that I will change it, but for now he's a badger).
- tell X doesn't tell WB about bee or cheetor cause bee asked him to keep secret about them.
That's everything for now. Hope you enjoyed my rambling.
So, I am currently watching tf cyberverse (got to season 3) and I really like the "bee as no memories" thing that they did the first season.
And that made me think
What if bumblebee woke up just a few thousand years after the meteor that killed the dinosaurs and put grim on shut down.
What if he still didn't remember anything and wondered around earth looking for answers and something to do?
What if while walking around he heard the Allspark calling for him and started following it?
What if while following in it's direction he met cheetor (I don't know how to write his name)?
What if when cheetor found out that bee can hear the Allspark he brought him to it? What if the Allspark chose bee to not also protect it but also to be cheetors friend?
What if bee became a triple changer with a beast form so he could also move around without being spotted?
What if him and cheetor spent millions of years together, becoming eachothers family and learning about the world they are in together?
What will happen in the show? Will windblade atill find grim? Or teletran X? What about the seekers problem? It did only start because she stopped to talk with bee.
There are so many possibilities to how things could happen and it's really interesting to think about it.
