instead of redemption arcs, how about vegeta arcs. like how a character is now living perhaps with the heroes and interacting with them casually and is sorta part of the group.
They’re still a asshole, they haven’t changed in the slightest personality wise and maybe even don’t care about anything they’ve done in the past let alone feel remorse. They just hang around the heroes now for whatever reason.
anyone who argues that one sided pining is better than mutual pining is a FOOL. i want fics that all or nothing babey they’re both stupid and in love and unable to see that the other is just as smitten as them. that’s where the good stuff is.
im also here for all their friends wringing their hands just watching the two of them so obliviously in love and pining over each other
guys look it’s the good kush
The fuck-up clone now in TFA! Info under cut.
Guiltaur was created by the Decepticons at some point before the shows end.
Originally intended to be a basic clone of Optimus they realised it was a bit weak so tried bolstering up with the best example of Decepticon-hood they had and to give it some ‘power’ put in a dash of Megatrons code.
Except it was too much and the clone came out a fully-fledged hybrid.
In fear for their lives if Megatron discovered this error the Decepticons dumped the clone on some asteroid and scarpered.
Eventually Guiltaur, with no name and no clue ended up getting taken back to Cybertron by some scouting Autobots who were very concerned about the presence of this hybrid experiment. They learnt on the way back however he was a genuinely shy and nervous individual and expressed an interest in joining the Autobot elite guard seeming to believe it would give the somewhat lost individual a sense of purpose.
Regardless it was still not trusted by a wary council and the famed Kup came out of retirement to deal with this ‘kid’ and keep an optic on him although he wasn’t mega thrilled to end up looking after an entire new troop of cadets once again.
The entire troop was full of characters it was almost hard to keep focus on this one, especially when the budding new medic decided beating someone with their own severed limb was good punishment.
But this little half-con fellow. Every time something bad happened he seemed to believe it was his fault no matter what it was. The kid seemed to constantly put several layers of self-imposed guilt on himself.
So Kup named him Guiltaur.
Guiltaur is an exempelry cadet and always does his best, however he remembers being abandoned and struggles to keep himself in a place where he feels he ‘belongs’ as he clearly does not owe anything to either side. This lead him to become good friends with fellow half-con Scope and eventually dragging trainee medic Cleancut into their little friendship trio.
He’s sweet natured but has a issue with handling guns thinking that if he does so then of course he’s living up to his Decepticon heritage and is a bad, bad mech.
Extra:
He dang near had a breakdown first time he was handed a gun as part of training.
Unlike Scope, who wishes to be a scientist, and Cleancut, who is to be a medic, Guiltaur has no proper idea what route he wants in life.
Likes flower crowns.
People who don’t know him tend to assume he’s bad due to his obviously-con background, everyone who knows him knows he’s a good boi.
Kup figured out that giving this panicky kid a hug for good behaviour (or just every now and then) did absolute wonders for the kid.
Optimus has ZERO idea this guy exists, he doesn’t even know the ‘cons tried to clone him. Guiltaur shows up on Earth one day because a higher up told him he had a mission there or something and Optimus is just “???? Excuse me?????? What?????? Hello??????”
Concept art of a concept that’s not (yet) even canon to the AU/’verse it’s meant to come from! (I just wanted to upload it ‘cos I had fun messing around with brushes.) AEON PRIME!
You might recognize parts of them, the chest is Vector Sigma and the Matrix makes it’s face. Essentially a literal form of the “’Til all are one” phrase.
My sense of humor is growing more and more ridiculous because I was just sitting here by myself thinking like what if instead of saying “are you kidding me” we said weird food related things like “are you frying my rice right now” or even “are you seriously buttering all of my toast with this” and honestly I cried
Wow I completely forgot I need to do the next image in the sequence of pics that describe what happened in Cyclonus’s future in the TFA verse (AKA the bad timeline he came from).
Well at least how it goes in my AU/version of tfa anyway. ‘cuz I got some plans just not some of the ‘connecting scenes’.
Needs more Galvatron
