“I don’t know of Autobot nor Decepticon that willingly takes on what I do. When they happen to, it’s considered perverse or done out of a necessity.

I happen to enjoy organic material. More flavor. But hm… that sounds useful as well. I wonder if your fuel has a different taste than the ones I typically see. Which…hah! Is not a lot~” The jet’s wings flick before he stretches out while leaning against a massive piece of metal. It groans as he crunches it to make a better ‘chair’, “I might be … but that’s only because of my obsession with them.”

"I'm quite unimpressed with your home world. " she smirked. "Only have folks come visit out of necessity. That's pretty lonely. " her posture relaxed some.

The Brand

The little mech groans, and rolls to her knees before sending out a message to her conjunx. A couple hours out in the snow had brought her external temperature down to a reasonable level. Enough that nobody would immediately suspect something was wrong, at least. Unfortunately, the cold did nothing for her malfunctioning vocalizer. She’d just have to make do with body language, beeps, text, and chirolinguistics in the meantime. [[Noire, I’m ready to go see him. Meet me at the ship so we can bridge?]]

@nolongerneutral

The message caught noire off guard but she quickly followed Reqs request. She found herself shifting her weight back and forth as she waited for the smaller mech. She was nervous. She knew Megatron, she knew he would be gentle, but she still worried none the less. Her spark fluttered in her chassis as she counted the cycles. Where was Req? Was she sure she wanted this?

The minibot boarded the ship, flicking slush from her collar and shoulders as she approached the bridge. She flashed a tired smile at her conjunx, and reached for her servo before sending another message. [[Vocalizer’s out, but at least we’ve got this and chiro, right? Thank you for doing this with me, by the way. I’m kind of nervous, but ready to bridge when you are.]]

Noire nodded and offered her servo to Req.it was a habit she had when she was nervous. She held on to her conjunx. "We're ready" she spoke aloud. A bridge soon followed. She looked to the smaller bot and gave her servo a squeeze. "I love you."

Review my muse like a product

“Ok. What news have you got?”

Requiem set the datapad aside, and stood to wrap her arms around her partner’s waist. “Well…I f-found my bearings, and…ah…I a-asked Megatron for the b-brand.” Her digits traced a seam along Noire’s back as she beamed and continued. “We t-talked a little, and he s-said yes. Just wants a few cycles to prepare.”

Noire seemed surprised. “And you’re sure this is what you want?”

She nodded, and rested her chin against the split in Noire’s chest armor. “Mhm. I’ve been doing a l-lot of thinking. Some reading. This is s-something I’ve thought about for a while now, but only r-recently found the resolve to a-actually do.”

Noire smiled softly. "Ok. Then I won't stop you. I'm proud of you. " she traced along Req's back, her systems humming pleasantly.

this is the 2016 apology post. reblog in 45 seconds and 2016 will apologize to you in the form of money.

megatron started the decepticons as a working class revolution to save the lives of mistreated and ‘disposable class’ tfs from the senate that kept up a functionist regime that discriminated against tfs based on what kind of vehicle or tool they turned into. the symbol of that senate was what eventually became the symbol of the autobots (who opposed the decepticons for being Too Violent and not Working Within the System to fight for their freedom, never mind the fact that the decepticons were an initially peaceful movement that tried to go through senate-approved channels and were rewarded by being murdered and tortured into submission) and now megatron wears that symbol on his fucking chest. i hate this comic

I mean sort of? Megatron and Optimus (Orion at the time) overthrew the senate. They had the chance to change things with minimal violence and Megatron kinda went ‘nah man but they havnt suffered enough’ and fucking SHOT ORION whom had helped him from the get go. Mtmte megatron fucking created the DJD dude he wasn’t a peaceful misunderstood baby that everyone wants him to be. This is the same bit who destroyed entire planets of organics Because he believed organics to be lesser forms. The decepticon symbol might have started out as a peaceful one but it sure as hell mutated into something evil. In the same breath the Autobot symbol might have been one of the council but it morphed into a symbol of peace. I love Megatron, don’t get me wrong, but he’s a fucked up dude. The autobot plot with him is fascinating because he’s having to see exactly what he did. The character study is so good!

Edit: I'm not saying the Autobots are perfect. Lord knows they've done loads of fucked up shit (literally everything Prowl was part of) but we can't overlook what Megatron did. He had great ideas and the tenacity to change things but he chose war in the end. He started the fight. There's no misunderstanding there.

Noire smirked and waved. "Thought I'd see what you were up to. " she mused

Reblog the Ringo Christmas Starr and you will get everything you wished for Christmas

NOT TAKING ANY RISKS

Bless up this crimun

AGAIN, NOT RISKING

DO YOUR STUFF, RINGO!

I’m finally getting my will to live back!!

She’s not convinced. ::uh huh.::

::we havnt spoken in a while. How have you been?::

When would she ever lie to you?~

::Busy.:: came Nightfall’s eventual answer. ::Rebuilding is… Hard.::

::I know. I’ve been helping where I can. I offered to help with the energon refineries since that’s what I do. ::

::Glad to know someone is looking after our fuel supplies.::

::I have a tower of my very own! Well, almost… I can’t wait for it to be finished, you and Req will have to visit me.::

::no more dealing substances underground. Now you can do it from a tower~:: she teased.

::we will. I just need to move us home. Req, me, and Starscream. The one from her universe. ::

She’s not convinced. ::uh huh.::

“Ok. What news have you got?”

Requiem set the datapad aside, and stood to wrap her arms around her partner’s waist. “Well…I f-found my bearings, and…ah…I a-asked Megatron for the b-brand.” Her digits traced a seam along Noire’s back as she beamed and continued. “We t-talked a little, and he s-said yes. Just wants a few cycles to prepare.”

Noire seemed surprised. "And you're sure this is what you want?"

"Ok. What news have you got?"

Req peered curiously at the basket of treats, and plucked one out with a murmured “Thank you” as she popped it into her mouth. Her optics wandered over to the indicated bits of scrap, and she brushed her digits over a dented fender with a tilt of her helm. “Might be a-able to salvage the tires, but the metal’s t-too thin to be a good plating p-patch,” she mused.

Her auditory arrays twitched as she glanced over to Noire, and tucked the candy into her cheek as she spoke. “His f-frame’s got higher fueling d-demands, and not a lot of a-access to energon. but he has m-mods and stuff that let him process a bigger v-variety of things. Isn’t that c-cool?”

He shrugs at this, humming in irritation at the generalizations of his frame. Just how many times would this occur? Perhaps it would be easier to give into said accusations and be a monster. Dirge shook off his thoughts at Requiem trying to cutesy explain his mods. A valiant effort. The clone sinks to all fours before flopping on his front, now more interested in hearing their conversation than partaking in it. “Hmph..” @nolongerneutral

"Fascinating. I've converted some organic materials to energon before. Namely human fuel materials but not various other objects. You'd think with the energon crisis your cluster faces they would adopt that mod. Then again those Autobots are crazy. So I suppose that's the trade off. " she commented, taking note of Dirges behavior. He was huge so having to look down at him seemed strange. "It's a smart mod. "
