The Cybertronian Members of the Lantern Corps (A Concept)

So here’s the idea: The Cybertronian Civil War has finally and truly ended. Megatron has surrendered, and the Decepticons and Autobots have struck up a peace. And thanks to this, many old records from Iacon have been recovered and Cybertron has once again opened up trade and travel with the galaxy, becoming an active participant of the universe… which gets the attention of the various Lantern Corps of DC. So many new Rings find new owners from the various members of Cybertronian Society.

(Side note I’ll be focusing on four Lantern Corps since I know more about them than the others)

(ALSO note that this is MAINLY IDW Comics inspired)

There would be one UNIQUE Lantern, who would become the main threat to many and would be the reason there are once again Black Lanterns… Overlord. He would be both a Red and Yellow Lantern, harnessing Rage and Fear for his own gain. So a new battle would have to begin.

SO I MADE MORE DESIGNS FOR TRANSFORMERS OMNICODE. Here we have Shattered Glass Sunder, Blitzwing, and Mixmaster! Mixmaster is the only one with a full profile, I'll still share the basic bio for the other two!

__________________________

Name: Mixmaster Position: Leader of the Constructicons/Lead Medical Officer Weapon(s): War Hammer, Cement Hose Spark Ability: Mixing Madness [Mixmaster can begin to suck air around her alongside any debris and other objects into her mixer and spew it back out with increased speed.] Bio: Mixmaster is the leader of the Constructicons and was in charge of all the construction that happened on the planet. But after more and more dangerous and devastating builds were permitted and hundreds of housing was torn down leaving many homeless, Mixmaster actually confronted the High Senate. After her failure, it wasn’t long before the Decepticons began to rise in numbers, and Mixmaster alongside a majority of her Constructicon would go to join them. It was here her unvalued medical experience was put into effect.

Blitzwing: An ex-Decepticon who had a horrible injury which caused them to have multiple personalities, these being Hot, Cold, and Fry. They work together quite well while working with Soundblaster in their little mercenary/Anti-Hero crew.

SG!Sunder: A calm and collected Shatterbot who wants nothing more than to help others get over mental health issues they have, no matter the faction or species.

Transformers Omnicode Main AUTOBOTS (... maybe lol)

The Main Autobots: —----------------------

Name: Bumblebee Position: Leader of the Ark Division Weapon(s): Stingers, Static Rifle Spark Ability: Electricity Sting [Bumblebee can create shields out of pure energy and release those shields as a barrage of stingers] Bio: Bumblebee never wanted to be a leader. All he wanted to be was an engineer. He even tried to apply as an engineer. But no one would take him. His altmode made him suited for only delivery runs and being a racer. So Bumblebee slogged away, taking up a job as Alpha Trion’s delivery driver, delivering notes to various Lower Senate leaders and even to High Senate leaders. But when the war started, Orion Pax assigned the newly acquainted Bumblebee as leader of the Ark Division. Bumblebee almost protested, but Orion Pax stopped him, saying that he sensed a strong spark in Bumblebee, and he was the one best suited for the job, since the Ark Division consisted of getting ships ready for launch and defending the Autobot controlled flight decks, which were severely limited. Bumblebee accepted the role then, and began to lead the Ark Division, even after Orion Pax ordered the retreat.

Name: Drift Position: Weapon(s): Twin Blades, Energon Crossbow Spark Ability: Quick Teleport [Drift can do quick and short teleportation] Bio: Drift was once a Decepticon named Deadlock. He was Megatron’s top assassin and spy, but during one of his missions, he was caught by the two Decepticon deserters, Grindor and Blackout. They took him to Bumblebee, who expressed interest in Drift’s beliefs. Drift stated he wanted nothing more than to bring peace to Cybertron. Bumblebee simply pointed to a section of the flight platform where hundreds of cots layed with Cybertronians, of all factions. It was made quite clear to Drift that Megatron had simply gone down a path of violence. Drift wanted peace, Megatron only craved violence. It was then Deadlock became Drift. 

Name: Grindor Position: Scout Weapon(s): Buzzsaws, Machine Guns Spark Ability: Temporary Invisibility [Grindor can turn invisible for a temporary amount of time. Bio: Grindor and his twin Blackout were both bodyguards for important individuals before the war. But when the war STARTED, these two were almost immediately left to die. During a raid on an Autobot Flight deck, where the main operatives of the ARK Division were, both Grindor and Blackout were shot down by anti-aircraft artillery. And Motormaster simply laughed at their supposed demise, despite Breakdown trying to get back to them. It was actually Bumblebee and Fortress Maximus that found them bleeding out, and actually helped repair them. With that both of them lost trust in the Decepticons.

Name: Blackout Position: Technician Weapon(s): EMP Cannons, Fisitcuffs Spark Ability: Total Blackout [Blackout can cause a massive EMP blast that can shutdown any and all technology not powered by a spark] Bio: TBH just read Grindor’s bio. The biggest difference is that Blackout was the one to build Grindor’s buzzsaws.

Name: Arcee Position: Speed Delivery/Scout Weapon(s): Energon Katanas, Twin Blasters Spark Ability: Machinery Connections [Arcee can connect with any energy powered machine without a form on Mentality] Bio: Arcee used to be Cybertron’s second fastest racer, behind Blurr. She always wanted to beat him, but when the war started, all of that was thrown to the side when her best friend, Cliffjumper, was badly wounded by Arachnid. While he escaped, he lost his hearing and ability to speak. So she began to hunt the Insecticon. During that time, Bumblebee, who had just been put in charge of the ARK Division was in some serious need for some scouts. And when he came across Arcee on a routine patrol, he asked for her help, in exchange for his aid in hunting down the vile Decepticon. Arcee eagerly agreed.

Name: Windblade Position: Current Cityspeaker Weapon(s): Sacred Blades Spark Ability: Energon Clones [Windblade can summon clones made of Energon. She has to be careful though, since it runs off HER Energon.] Bio: Windblade was always interested in the history of Cybertron. Its mythology, government, everything. And it was thanks to her keen eye for details that old Cityspeaker, Victorian, asked Windblade to become the next in line. While hesitant at first, Windblade agreed. Fast forward to the beginning of the war, Windblade has joined the Autobots since Orion promised they would do their best to preserve Cybertronian history, negative and positive. 

Name: Whirl Position: ARK Division Wrecker Weapon(s): Machine Guns, Great Sword, Claws, Chest Guns, Tasers on Claws Spark Ability: Aura of Devastation [An area of pure devastating energy surrounds Whirl, allowing him to to simply walk over weaker foes, eliminating them.] Bio: Whirl used to be a clockmaker, being able to escape the confines of his castate. But it was relatively short lived when Institute employees retrieved Whirl forcefully and forced him under the Emputara Process, turning him into a bloodthirsty killer. But it was thanks to Shockwave, before he was turned into the being he is now, that Whirl was able to gain more of his original memories and mentality back. Now a Wrecker for the Autobots, Whirl uses his abilities to defend those who need it, in the bloodiest ways possible.

Name: Fortress Maximus Position: ARK Division Second in Command Weapon(s): Energon Ax, Twin Cannons Spark Ability: Engulf in Flames [Fortress Maximus can engulf any weapon he holds in intense hot flames.] Bio: Fortress Maximus is one of Orion Pax’s best friends, and worked with him in the library/archives before the war. When the war started, Fortress Maximus was on the front lines, helping Orion get innocents off world before there was too much innocent bloodshed. Orion personally assigned Maximus to Bumblebee as his second in command due to Maximus’s skills as a fighter and tactician, believing the two could become quite skilled partners.

Name: Grimlock Position: Leader of the Dinobots/AR Division Field Commander Weapon(s): Chainblade (chainsaw sword), Wrist Flamethrowers Spark Ability: Berserker Mode [Grimlock can go into a supercharged bruiser state, his body becoming incredibly super heated] Bio: Grimlock is a descendant of Optimus Primal, a Maximal that served under Nova Prime. Despite this, Grimlock’s alt mode, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, connects him to the original Megatron, or Predatron. Regardless, Grimlock used his heritage to create a legion of Cybertronians called the Dinobots. While seen as an imposing and deadly warrior, Grimlock is intelligent, being a powerhouse in field combat, and his love for Cybertron’s wildlife and everyday citizens made him join the Autobots. He and the rest of the Dinobots would be charged with helping the ARK Division during the final months on Cybertron.

Name: Wheeljack Position: Lead Engineer and Scientist Weapon(s): Rocket Launcher, Taser, Brass Knuckles, Wrist Rockets, Teleporter Spark Ability: X-RAY [Wheeljack can see through any unaltered solid object including Cybertronians.] Bio: Wheeljack served as the High Council’s head Scientist. Despite all his work though, he was always seen as scrap, and was even regularly damaged by members of the council whenever he failed. Wheeljack didn’t even want to work for them, but due to his inherent intelligence, he couldn’t just up and leave. It wasn’t until the war started was he able to escape his horrid circle of life, becoming an Autobot, seeing it as returning the favor to Orion, who often saved his life after being damaged. Now Wheeljack builds the ARK Division their gadgets and weapons alongside Blackout.

Transformers Omnicode BASIC TIMELINE

Ight so here is the basic and IMPORTANT plot points of the Omnicode timeline! Keep in mind that there MAY be changes to this at any given point.

ALSO, while to PLOT itself doesn't show many things, rest assured things like the Iacon Relics from TFP, the Space Bridges/Magnus Hammer from TFA, The Golden Disk from BW, etc will ALL be somehow included into the plot, either as relics being hunted down, or just references and such in the background, or something else entirely!

_______________________________

IMPORTANT PLOT POINTS:

ARK Division gets the order from Orion to send everyone off world. 

The main AUTOBOT cast enters the ARK and discovers its secrets.

The ARK arrives on Earth and lands in an old Cybertronian-made campsite hidden deep in the mountains. The Decepticons also arrive and make a base somewhat nearby.

A few conflicts covering the area ensue, following various targets (Ancient Technology, Energon Mines, etc).

FASTFORWARD: The main AUTOBOT cast has all found altmodes. (“side episodes” would describe their interactions with the humans via Jack, Miko, Raf, Sari and Issac Sumdac, and N.E.S.T) when Optimus Prime arrives with Ultra Magnus and Elita One. 

Cut to various characters which reveals both sides are getting tired finally. Even Megatron was tired and thinking of ways to end the war without fighting.

Enter the Shattered Glass universe. The Shattercons (SG Decepticons) join the Autobots. The Shatterbots (SG Autobots) join the Decepticons. Goldbug runs to join the Autobots.

More fighting and planning. Shatter Prime (SG Optimus) begins to challenge Megatron. 

Galvatron and the Unicronians arrive on Earth. Shatter Prime alongside some of the Shatterbots and Decepticons join him. 

The rest of the Decepticons and Shatterbots join the Autobots and Shattercons. 

The fighting begins to become serious, with the two new battle lines drawn.

Final fight ensues. Galvatron faces off Megatron and SG!Megatron (He doesn’t change his name) while Optimus stands up against Alpha Magnus (SG! Ultra Magnus) and Shatter Prime. 

The good guys win and finally peace is realized. 

_______________________________________________________

SIDE PLOTS

The Scavengers and Nova Prime story plot [Scavengers come across the perfect preserved AND STILL ACTIVE body of Nova Prime].

Lugnut, Blitzwing, Lockdown, Soundblaster mercenary adventures.

The Astrotrain Scandal: Nitro Zeus deals with a cruel scientist.

Which bring us to the how of EXECUTING this how fan continuity. The way most probably would is make a comic outta it. WHICH WOULD BE COOL! But I've TRIED making a comic before, due to my lack of concentration to a singular project and my motivation being all over the walls at times and drained the next, I never finished it.

SO! I'll probably be making short stories, mini comics, memes, art, and just silly things to show of the universe. ANY questions at all, feel free to shot me one! OH, and the main cast (kinda, there will be more made in the future) bios are getting done! Almost done with the Autobots and then I can work on the Decepticons!

FAN DESIGN for a Shattered Glass Bulkhead. Very simple but I really like how he came out, especially because Bulkhead is one of those designs I find kinda scary to draw due to his... well, BULK.

ANYWAYS! This version of Bulkhead is in charge of all the SG!Autobots Drone Operations in his universe. So, he repairs them, puts them into squads, sets up their patrols, and even leads them into heavy combat situations. But he is actually an honor-bound warrior. He believes all of the drones under his command are individuals. In fact, he has a weekly event he holds where he has new drones reveal their chosen names and helps them give themselves their own paintjobs.

Story wise, Bulkhead is the ONLY Autobot that will even DEAL with a Decepticon. That makes him a target of elimination by the other Autobots. In fact, Cliffjumper decides to try and kill Bulkhead by shooting him in the back and dumping him off in the desert. LUCKILY for the bulky bot, Starscream and Shockwave find him and repair him to health. Bulkhead, disgusted by the dishonor dealt to him by Cliffjumper, joins the Decepticons and even convinces the Drones to rebel, giving the Decepticons the edge they would need to finally win the war.

So I drew a Soundblaster design for my Transformers Omnicode continuity! I hope yall like! I don't have much for his LORE but he is a very fun guy! He's friends with his fellow mercenaries Lugnut, Blitzwing, and Lockdown. His quirk ability allows him to form weapons out of any form of Energon. Basically an Energon bender lol!

Yep another Omnicode character! He doesn't have a bio yet. But he IS important! Meet, Shattered Glass Goldbug!!!

Heheheheheh, so here's Brawl for Transformers Omnicode! And tbh? I LOVE HIM! Here's his bio!

Name: Brawl Position: Combaticon Warrior Weapon(s): Back Cannon, Fists Spark Ability: Redheat [Brawl can heat up his body to incredible degrees.] Bio: Brawl is one of those cases that confuses some. As the Combaticons literal Tank, many think he’s a vicious killing machine, only here for the fight. But in reality, Brawl joined the Decepticons as an excuse to do what he truly loves: Observe Nature. Back on Cybertron he was a surveyor when he wasn’t serving in the Cybertronian military. On Earth, he is FASCINATED with the local nature, so he goes out on lonely drives to observe it. He even has taken a GRIZZLY BEAR as a willing pet!

If yall have any questions go ahead! I hope to pump out the rest of the bios and some other things about this fan continuity.

(Yes I realize this is silly but I don't care. I'm pretty happy with the lore lol.)

There was once a deleted episode of G1 Transformers that followed the plot of Bumblebee's death. Nothing else is known of the episode. But what IS known is that Shockwave would experiment on Bumblebee's body, and would accidently rise him from the dead. Bumblebee would then go on to hunt and kill many Decepticons and Autobots.

But no one knows how the episode ends, for anyone who finds the VHS and plays it will summon Bumblebee.EXE, and he will kill them and go on a vicious rampage. The only way to banish this devil is to rewind the whole episode until one can pop the VHS out. But one better hurry...

Bumblebee.EXE WILL sense you...

Transformers: Omnicode

Transformers:Omnicode is a TRANSFORMERS fan continuity that draws inspiration and concepts from various Transformers continuities. Oh and it’s basically an anime. With MHA as a basis, persay.

But EVERYONE has a unique power. EX: Bumblebee as an Electricity Based power where he can create Stasis Stingers and Energy Fields; Overlord can summon two extra arms made of energy which are bigger and far stronger. Cry about it. 

_______________________________________________________

Cybertron. A world ruled by a seemingly goodwill and calm nature senate. But that was far from the truth. In fact, almost every member of the senate was dealing with illegal activities and abusing the lower earning citizens. But there were seven leaders of the senate that REALLY made the senate the corrupted group they were.

Ian Duo was a lazy slob of a Cybertronian and dealt with various drug and arms dealers. Xianmu was a vain and jealous bot that wanted items and add ons to a point of forcing the parts in. Baoshi was drunkard pure and simple, and could down gallons of high grade Energon. Fenu was the angriest bot you could ever meet, and if you disagreed with him, the next day you never existed. Yuwang was a seductive bot with a sharp tongue and corrupted view of Cybertronian biology. Tanian was a greedy pig that controlled all the banks on Cybertron. And their leader Zihao? So filled with pride she was charming and persuasive, but a powerful bot that no one could challenge. 

Together they controlled Cybertron with their fellow senators. But there was one senator who was different. His name was Shockwave. And he was shocked by the corrupted nature of the senate, but knew if he spoke out he’d be effectively sent to the mines and gladiator rings. But it was this exact thought that led him to go to the Pits of Kaon. It was there he met a strong willed and intelligent young bot named Megatron. Megatron worked in the mines during the day, and then fought in the ring at night. Shockwave was able to find some time for them to chat privately. Shockwave was able to hear the treacherous conditions of the mines and fights the lower citizens had to deal with. It broke Shockwave’s heart. So Shockwave decided to find a friend.

That friend was Orion Pax. He and his friends Fortress Maximus and Ultra Magnus were working in the library as High Ranking Librarians for Alpha Trion, a member of the Lower Senate, which wasn’t corrupted… yet. Shockwave knew Orion would listen.

And listen Orion did. Orion went STRAIGHT to the pits to meet with Megatron. The two began to chat often, and Orion was even able to get Megatron a job in the library instead of the pits thanks to his high position. This is what Shockwave had hoped to have happen. If Megatron could help the lower ranked citizens from his now earned high position, the senate’s actions would be exposed.

Sadly the High Senate would catch on. Zihao ordered an Institute Squad to drag Shockwave to the Institute where he was forced under the Emputara Process. Luckily for him, Starscream, a fellow Senator from the Lower Senate was able to bail him out, but the damage was done. Shockwave became a dangerous scientist. From there only the ancients could have foreseen the chaos. Shockwave would come to Megatron to expose what has become of him, and in a rage Megatron would rally the lower ranking citizens from the pits and raid the Senate building, killing all of the High Senate. 

Orion couldn’t stand for the slaughter of the senate, seeing that violence was only making things worse and tried to speak for peace, but Megatron had gotten a taste for High Rank blood. So Orion was forced to gather his own forces to defend the rest of Cybertron from Megatron’s violence. 

Fast forward millions of years later, and the war is still going on with a stalemate. Orion Pax, as leader of the Autobots, decides to send everyone off-world to various sectors. And while they do that, he’ll stay behind with Ultra Magnus and Elita One on a quest to find a powerful relic. Megatron has become ashamed of his actions and now tries to figure out a way to finish the war fast and with the least amount of lost lives with the help of his closest advisors Soundwave, Onslaught, Mixmaster, Shockwave, and Starscream. But the only plans they come up with have massive consequences. ______________________________________________________________

Just a few notes: There WILL be some repositioning of various characters. Blackout and Grindor (Bayverse edition) are going to become Autobots, for example.

Optimus Prime IS still going to exist, but later down the timeline. He actually doesn't have that big of a role at the BEGINNING of the "story."

Characters like Zeta Prime and Sentinel Prime ALSO exist. But they may become members of the High Senate or Supporters of it.

Shockwave and Starscream are VERY different now, but for a reason.

SO! I drew a little doodle of @drill-teeth-art's Mixmaster doing a little interaction with my Post War AU! Shockwave. I like to think they're talking about ways to help do the healies and Shockwave is just a wee bit irritated with Mixmaster's otherworldy attempts (at least in Shockwave's eyes).

But TBH? I think these two would get along great. I dunno, they have a similar VIBE to me. Eh. What do I know???

(Also not me fucking up body proportions for my own design) Once again: this is @/drill-teeth-art's design for Mixmaster. The Shockwave design is mine!

I NEED AN OPINION REGARDING DRIFT

So I wanna start doing "redesigns" for some Transformers characters and see if I can start up my own Transformers Continuity. But I had this idea for Drift. AND I REALLY NEED AN ANSWER TO THIS.

Would it be rude and inappropriate to draw inspiration from Native American tribes' clothing and rituals?

So what I want to do is basically after Deadlock leaves the Decepticons he goes and finds a Native American tribe and learns of their culture. So he takes on the name Drifting Wind. And later when he becomes an Autobot he keeps the name but takes on the NICKNAME of Drift.

SO! Is that appropriate or is it not? Pls help.

Yeah I stuttered what you going to do about it?

Why do you ALL LIKE THE EMPUTARA!ORION PAX AU CONCEPT SO MUCH?

Like WHY?! HOW? It was just a little something fun and silly! BUT YALL KEEP LIKING THAT SHIT! WHY!? WHYYYYYYYYY!? TELL ME!!! SHOCKWAVE MUST KNOW!!!

The link just in case.

"HEY. WHY ARE YOU RUNNING? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING!?"

So... I did something stupid lol. What if Shockwave was a Herald of Unicron? AND THIS DESIGN CAME INTO EXSISTANCE. And this cursed image in general. Hope you all like!

"Through the Energon Fires during the Autobot's first wave of attacks on Iacon, I saw a sight I never thought I'd see. Orion Pax and his manipulated body... standing in the middle of it all, just standing there. Staring deep into my spark... It made me wonder, was the Senate really telling the truth?" -Bulkhead.

Some context: When the war started in the Emputara!Orion Pax AU, the majority of the Autobots in the Autobot Resistance are mostly consisting of canon G1 and IDW Decepticons with a few exceptions (Ratchet and Ironhide, for example). But when the war began to kick into higher gear, we begin to see the Senate's Decepticons leaving the army to join the Autobots (Not a WHOLE bunch, just a noticable number). Why?

Because they SAW Orion Pax. They saw the true horror of how a respectable and loved officer of the law became an abomination of science. And they truly see what the Senate is willing to do to keep their power.

Here's the link to the original post about this AU Here’s the link to the Orion Pax Design

What If: Transformers were Star Wars Characters?

The BASIS I guess?: The Clone Army is massive, with hundreds of legions and units. But so do the Separatists. So secret legions are nothing new… but these two are definitely something else…

Because I am a silly boi.

Yep! You can now ask the two main characters of my two Transformers AUs! My Emputara!Orion Pax AU's Orion Pax and my Post-War AU's Shockwave. SO, let us set down the ground rules! 1. NO NSFW questions! Suggestive is FINE as long as it ain't something downright illegal.  2. Don't ask about your OCs. They most likely DO NOT exist in these AUs unless stated otherwise. 3. Make sure you think about your questions thoroughly. If I can't understand, I won't do your question.  4. You can ask about any other character, but don't expect TRADITIONAL answers. Other characters in both AUs will be VERY different from their various canon counterparts. 5. You can ask about other universes (including your own, just not the OCS in those universes). Both are quite aware, and ONE has even traveled through them due to an accident.  6. Don't ask stupid questions. Pls. I want this to be fun for BOTH parties, not just YOU.  7. Be creative!

Shockwave's Full Colored Design Orion Pax Full Colored Design

Ight here is the design for Megatron for my Emputara Megatron AU. I used Transformers Prime/Animated/Shattered Glass/IDW for the basis for the design so I hope you guys enjoy! Here's the link to the original post about this AU Here's the link to the Orion Pax Design

Emputara!Orion Pax AU: Megatron's Reaction

Megatron led the team of his fellow Cybertronians through the halls of the Institute until they came to the largest room in the entire facility. In front of it was Prowl, holding the biggest gun Megatron had ever seen. "That is far enough." He said matter-of-factly. The weapon slowly charged up. "You and your team will follow me to interrogation, or you will be eliminated. Please just go the easy route. We don't need any more problems." Prowl aimed the nozzle at Megatron's head in an attempt of intimidation, but in Prowl's shock, Megatron just laughed. "You seem to forget, Prowl. I have mined in the tunnels and fought in the pits of Kaon. That weapon you hold may be big, but it'll be an meer scratch of my paintjob. So go ahead. Shot." Prowl glared and was about to pull the trigger when out of the shadows popped Whirl, his new one eye head seering with hatred. "This is what you get for trying to mess with my mind, PROWL!!!" He shouted loudly before punching the cop in the faceplate so hard it sent Prowl straight into the opposing wall, knocking him out cold. "Now... can we get Orion outta here? This place is going to be crawling with guards soon!" Onslaught said, pointing at the sirens blaring everywhere. Megatron nodded and pointed to Soundwave and Ironhide to begin busting the door down. Within second the door came crashing down. The team rushed inside. Inside was a bunch of machinery and giant test tubes hosting arms, legs, and torsos. It was a mad science lab to be frank. Megatron just got the creeps. Until he laid eyes on the tube in the center of the lab. It had an entire body in it. Ratchet also noticed and his eyes went wide. "No..." was all he whispered. Megatron ran up to the tube and immediately began crying.

Inside was the unconscious and manipulated body of Orion Pax. Megatron slammed the glass, Soundwave and the others standing back. Megatron then looked up into the black expression of Orion. "The Council will pay for this... Or my name isn't MEGATRON, now Leader of the soon to become AUTOBOTS!"

Here's the link to the original post/concept of the AU Here's the link to the Orion Pax of this AU

Here is my Emputara!Orion Pax for the Emputara!Orion Pax AU. Our poor boi has been traumatized immensely as you can see. But now he ain't going to be dying hundreds of times.

Here's the link to the original post about this AU

Emputara!Orion Pax AU

OKAY OKAY HERE ME OUT: What if Orion Pax was the one sent to the Institute and was forced to go under the Emputara Process? And Senator Shockwave was simply placed in prison? Here's what I think would have gone down: Megatron would learn of what happened and grow upset. At this time Orion and Megatron were friends. So Megatron would gather anyone he can. Some of the highlights would be Onslaught, Brawl, Ratchet, Ultra Magnus, Soundwave, Ironhide, Barricade, and Blaster. They would basically go full ballistic on the Institute and proceeds to raid the entire place, freeing Whirl in the process. They get to Orion, but it is too late, he had already gone under the process. So, in order to keep Orion MOSTLY himself, Soundwave hacks the system and is able to restore most of Orion's emotional processing, but in the end, he could fully revert the process. Orion can feel feelings but can't express them. And his body was heavily manipulated (Think Transformers Prime Shockwave with IDW Comics Optimus Prime). Megatron is so upset and fully opens up the idea of war. In the end many Cybertronians join him, and the war begins.

The two sides are the Autobots and the Decepticons. Megatron leads the Autobots, while the Cybertronian senate lead the Decepticons.

I redrew a meme with Transformers characters.

A design for a "healed" post-war Shockwave
