So I mentioned managing to make a “Rescue Bots Academy AU” despite the show not even airing yet and this is it. I know it takes place in the same Universe but lets just pretend the anti climatic show end of RiD15 didn’t happen so there was no Cyclonus.

To summarise! The class discover two protoform pods! After rescue they decide to free whoever’s inside and to Heatwave’s shock it’s two young Decepticons! Unable/unwilling to punish them on the deeds of their elders they’re promptly added to the Academy as new members hoping to teach them the ways of helping and saving people rather than aggression.
It’s working for the most-part and they’re good, eager students even if their methods are a bit more… forceful than need be. The spirit is there.

Extriverse Rupture and Paradrox!
Info under the cut!

Name: Rupture     –      Paradrox
Titles: Heir of Chaar, Heir of New Kaon.
Nicknames: Rups, Ruppy (by family only), Grumpy-Pants (By Paradrox only), ‘Brosis’ (By younger siblings only)    –    Drox, Droxy, Pancake (By Galvatron only), ‘Brosis’ (By siblings only).
Pronouns: They/Them.
Creators: Galvatron, Cyclonus.
Siblings: Cyclotron, Galvonus, Turbulence, Bedlam, Warnado, Shockdrive.
Partners: Scope (Rupture’s future partner/bonded).

Personality:
Rupture easily comes off as quite cold and aloof to those they’ve just met, being distant and almost condescending in attitude.
It takes a load of patience and exposure to realise that it’s not exactly ‘like that’.
Rupture simply takes their duty seriously and tries to set an example, but their inability to mesh with social situations as well as anyone else hinders this, prompting some awkward thoughts and concerns about future leadership and they often defer to their twin for help yet they’re perfectly fine to lay out reprimands or concerns on others if they feel they need it. It doesn’t help with the first point.
Despite all this, and probably thanks to their twin, Rupture is quite tolerant and slow to anger, they are perfectly content to spend days at a time simply ‘being’ and of course experimenting and playing with their pride and joy – Their leeches.

Paradrox is a wild card, yet bizarrely responsible.
Mischievous and impulsive ‘droxy can’t help but fidget and move about, their attention seemingly doing the same as they tend to miss out on a few words or forget things such as dates, or annoy people by asking them to repeat things only to cut them off at the second word as they ‘get it now’.
Their energy is only matched by their outgoing, social attitude and absolute inability to leave things alone. They just can’t help themselves from tinkering with devices and items and often need something to fiddle with if you don’t want to find your pens dismantled and paper torn or folded into origami.
Their favourite things to ‘tinker’ with are doomsday devices and teleportation software.

Notes/Extra:

  • Rupture is Autistic.
  • They often forget to wash leech slime from themselves and can be sticky to the touch.
  • Speaking of leeches, their primary leech is their (rather spoiled) pet one named Nipper. Rupture often ‘stims’ with Nipper, stroking the leech calms them down and helps them think.
  • Rupture can barely deny their younger siblings anything, and often finds some comfort in the presence of protoforms/sparklings too.
  • Hates the smell of wet grass.
  • Enjoys long scenic flights and hot drinks.
  • Paradrox helps them when they feel close to a breakdown or if ‘droxy catches Rups missing a ‘social cue’ by giving them a nudge or two.

  • Paradrox likes to occasionally do something ‘weird’ just to gauge people’s reaction.
  • The fascination with teleportation technology is a reference to Skywarp.
  • When they were very young Paradrox misheard the word “Autistic” and thought Rupture had an extra component called a “OT stick”, while they now know and can pronounce it properly they still occasionally refer to it as such in order to make Rupture smile.
  • One of their ‘Doomsday devices’ exploded and coated the room in Blueberry jam.
  • Rupture often helps ‘reel them in’ if they’re getting too excitable or overbearing.
  • Likes Watermelon topped with raw salmon, mustard, hot sauce, mint sauce and blue cheese with a dash of salt. Yes. All in one. It’s gross.
  • Will absolutely RickRoll you.
  • Had a non-serious fling with DJ.

I should tag this as inappropriate because it’s a drawing of a major arsehole, hah! Anyway…
Info an stuff under the cut though I don’t have a lot right now.

  • Long story short; you KNOW you’re a bad leader when the entire faction of assholes you created collectively agree the best thing you ever did was die and your corpse get mutated into a semi-organic new guy whom they actually like more.
  • Megatron was once bright-opticed and quite innocent, living in blissful ignorance of his less-than-great place in life. Then he became aware of it and it was all downhill from there.
  • His cannon was created by Starscream.
  • A violent sociopathic psychopath.
  • The more power he got the more he just went bonkers.
  • Liberal with physical punishment, no matter how small the offence.
  • Only gives out compliments when it benefits himself or occasionally to deliberately pit two people against each other for his own amusement.
  • Generally unpleasant.

Oh hey look, I made a ‘my style/verse’ Starscream too.
Not that many but a few headcanons/info under the cut.

  • He

    actually joined the Decepticons because of Skyfire. He was upset the council wouldn’t allow him fuel and resources to go find him and announced his friend ‘dead’ so naturally when he heard of a rebellion he decided to get his sly-ass claws in that gig.

  • When he can stop being his usual snide self he’s actually very scientifically gifted. The best example of this? He was the anonymous donor who gave Megatron his fusion cannon.

  • Pre-war and during it’s early stages he sounded more like his TFP self, but repeated attacks and strangulation from Megatron permanently damaged his vocal unit enough that he began to get that infamous screech.

  • Can be bitter and petty enough that he messes his own plans and such up, even the ones that might’ve worked.

  • Like all Seekers he can run on all fours and do a bird-hop.

  • I bet you’re all wondering about the ghost thing huh? Well that’s simple!
    Starscream was the first to die at the hands of the Unicronians, he was their sacrifice to Unicron.
    Being marked with Unicrons energy and practically like a homing beacon for the colossal abomination to reach Cybertron he really should have been consumed by the chaotic entity but instead his proximity to the AllSpark ended up shielding him but rejected his Spark due to the chaotic/poisonous energy that surrounded it from Unicron.
    Thus he was left in limbo, gradually recollecting himself until he became the ghost we know.

  • After two failed attempts at getting his body back his ghost now lingers on Chaar, what’s worse, after being “killed” by a Unicronian a second time his energy is now much weaker, a third time and who knows what will happen to him, he doesn’t want to risk dissipating and merely ceasing to exist rather than properly joining the AllSpark.

Finally I complete the Unicronian trio in ‘my style’!

Facts/Notes about this Scourge and Sweeps (Both canon-info and headcanons ahoy):

  • Spent a week inside Unicron mutating into their current selves, upon which they hatched from fluid-filled chrysalises in their current state and left Unicrons body to enact his will.
  • He’s bio-organic and functions differently enough from regular Cybertronians to be at the very least considered a sub-species.
  • Was a part of the two-year long battle with/against/for Unicron.
  • Suffered torment from Unicron if he so much as wavered outside of Unicrons commands and desires.
  • When Unicron was defeated, he, like the other Unicronians became inert for a few months after having their ‘primary power source’ taken away.
  • Like his fellow Unicronians Scourge and his Sweeps have a “Garbage Gut”.
  • While Unicron was alive Scourge and the others had seemingly unlimited strength and power, now he’s ““dead”” their power is noticeably weaker but they are still forces to be reckoned with.
  • Like other Unicronians he can make his optics appear to be ‘aflame’, this is purely an aesthetic effect.
  • Their tails are not prehensile.
  • Only the Unicronians seem capable of telling the Sweeps apart instinctually. Scourge can do it perfectly, however, Cyclonus and Galvatron have made mistakes a few times.
  • The Sweeps are all utterly identical, however Scourge is distinguishable by his larger crest, extra tail fur and claw tips on his wings.
  • The Sweeps are divided up into numerous ‘packs’ each lead by their own ‘alpha’, however Scourge is still the boss of them all. Sometimes gets him jokingly referred to as the ‘alpha-alpha’.
  • Sweeps can be distracted with a laser pointer.
  • Scourge and the Sweeps have optics that are unnervingly ‘organic’ looking.
  • Said optics are also reflective.
  • When Scourge and the Sweeps argue amongst themselves it sounds like THIS.
    This has kept many a Decepticon up at night if they so happen to be too close to the argument. Thankfully they don’t make that noise when arguing with any Decepticon though on the rare time Scourge ‘argues back’ with either Galvatron or Cyclonus he will make that noise and get a equally horrible sounding growl/roar/noise in response until the matter is ‘settled’.
  • Sweeps like to cuddle together in a pile and sleep.
  • Rarely something called a “Sweepcub” can be found which is as the name implies a “baby” Sweep.
    No one is quite sure how or where they come from or are made, many Decepticons have made bets and theories on how they come to be, but are all too terrified of the possibilities to actually ask or really want to know, though it does ‘seem’ to explain why there’s a varying number of Sweeps around.
  • Scourge acts somewhat grumpy and sour but that seems to be his default disposition and isn’t actually being nasty as some might mistake it.
  • Scourge himself is a remarkably ‘simple’ mech, by which I mean, a full tank and shelter is enough to keep him happy and content.
  • Despite the concern and confusion about where they come from the attitude towards Sweepcubs is the same that a human might have towards kittens.
  • The Sweeps are more cowardly than Scourge, as if they’re aware they seem to fill out some kind of ‘disposable clone’ role in the galaxy. This has also occasionally lead to a Sweep being rebellious but it never lasts long nor usually go past the stage of them ‘talking back’.
  • Their toe beans are soft. Awfully so. Why does a semi-organic abomination get such soft peets? Curse you Universe!
  • Sweeps and Scourge can communicate certain things and certain signals to one another using their tails alone.
  • Their sense of smell and taste is better than their cohorts but is primarily used in tracking (or claiming they can sense others fear).
  • Scourge calls Galvatron and Cyclonus ‘filthy’ if they so much as smile at each other. It seems to be a in-joke among the trio.
  • Their claws are naturally that colour.
  • They purr and growl just like cats, can be found with a ‘blep’ like cats and can even have cases of ‘the zoomies’ too.
  • Scourge and the Sweeps display a pack mentality which is fine amongst themselves but when this mentality goes and includes other Decepticons (often if they are on a mission/working in a team with them or if a ‘con just happened to be nearby and get ‘swept up’ into their group) it tends to weird them out to be protected and guided by this weird pack of overgrown CyberCats.
  • They even groom in a similar manner.
  • Capable of bipedal and quadrupedal movement.
  • Seems somewhat ironic that their ‘robot mode’ and behaviour is the most animalistic of the trio yet their ‘alt mode’ is the most ‘vehiclular’ of them.
  • They have collections of animal pelts and bones form creatures they have hunted and killed. It is not uncommon to find one or two wearing such items.
  • Despite not needing to as it is primarily thanks to their anti-grav units and jets they like to ‘flap’ and ‘beat’ their wings in-flight.
  • Yes, fluffing up and flaring their wings is something they do as a ‘threat display’.
  • Scourge didn’t actively try to take control in “The burden hardest to bare”. The Matrix became energised after the unwanted attempt at using it and the energy it expelled (that came slightly delayed causing only Scourge to be affected) did not mesh well with his Unicronian energy at the time and caused a negative reaction, especially as he was unprepared, and turned Scourge ‘wild’.
