(based on choreo by Molly Long - song: Pop Muzik by M)

Cody: Blades, look at me! Blades: Oh, my child! You are so well done, you learn very quickly! You look amazing!   After becoming a bot, Cody had to learn how to fly, of course Blades decided to help him with this. Since the younger Burns very quickly learned and memorized something new, the rescuer truly was proud of Cody's achievements.   And yet every single rescue bots, just began to call the younger Burns "Child" and absolutely everyone wants to help him become a great lifeguard.   (Everyone loves Cody and pure truth!)

The leadership structure of the Seekers

The Winglord theme is actually so interesting in itself. I like that most people in the fandom somehow unanimously decided that such a position exists, and it makes sense since the cities on Cybertron are city-states, meaning they have a local ruler/government and other structures.

On the other hand, it seems to me that Winglord should not only be a position of power, but also full of obligations. What is Winglord for? (Obviously, for governance, but its position cannot be just a privilege). What obligations can this position bear for the one who occupies this position. Here are my couple of ideas.

It seems to me that the Seekers' leadership structure is actually arranged like that of birds. Birds in nature do not actually have a leader. This concept simply goes to the oldest and most experienced birds, who stand at the head of the wedge. It is no secret that humanity, in its desire to conquer the skies, focused on birds, but what if Cybertronians do it differently? What if, in fact, Winglord is not a title earned by birth or inheritance like the same kings, but a title given to the most experienced flyer among all? Sounds good, plus it would explain why Starscream takes this place.

A Winglord is not a title that can be inherited, it is a calling that a true ace of his craft receives, anyone, be it forged or constructed, can receive it, age also plays no role. There is no luck or fortune in the sky, only cold calculation and the risk that the pilot is willing to take. In the process, you either succeed or die, there is no other way from it. A Winglord is a master of his craft, any noble king or general he will displace from their position with his skill. His task is to teach young seekers to reach their level of skill, as well as to provide weaker brothers with safety. If you give a Winglord a choice between his brothers and an imaginary leader (usually a bot, not necessarily having a flying altform), then he will choose his brothers. The duty of a Winglord is to care for the well-being of everyone, regardless of social status or work. If the previous Winglord dies, his fellow triads must take it upon themselves to finish his work, keeping the Seeker community safe and in order until a new bot can be chosen to take his place. Like birds in a flock, the Winglord and his fellow triads must lead their charges to a better future. (They do not have to be ready for this, as leadership can never be. Experience in leading others always comes with experience.)

I would compare Winglord to a person who received the flame of Prometheus for the first time. It is not only a blessing, but also the greatest duty to distribute this flame to everyone. An obligation that does not allow you to chicken out and retreat. I think Winglord's obligations consist mainly of preserving the number of seekers, he cannot allow even the weak to die, since this is a risk of losing the chance for the development of their society, losing the much-needed and vital primacy in the sky (flight is life). It can also be a vision of treaties, about better supplies, in exchange for the energon they found, they could set their own conditions (perhaps one of these conditions once became the city of Vos, because having your own city/settlement, you could avoid discrimination). The amount of obligations may vary depending on the political situation of Cybertron (I think during the golden age or pre-war period, Winglord was a status similar to King and was inherited because it greatly limited the seeker society, focusing them not on mastery but on the "military" path. This was a guarantee of stability, although it could cause unrest in the seeker society).

Many write that Starscream Winglord, probably during the war that we see in the comics, this is indeed true. Vos fell, the wonderful city in the "heavens" was destroyed, like other cities. There is a possibility that many senior Seekers who were there could have died. Starscream has always been ambitious, but as much as he craves leadership, he is also a master in flying (let's not deny it, after all, he hardly got his position only because of the "Beautiful Scarlet Optics"). Starscream not only could, but probably was a good leader for his comrades. He was definitely not ideal, but he learned this gradually gaining experience. Starscream has all the good qualities of a leader: charisma, intelligence, oratory skills. It probably also kept him in the position of Winglord for a long time, and also this management experience helped him become a good leader after the war (and although this is debatable, but I consider him a better leader than Windblade. He knew what problems Cybertronian society could face after such a long war. About those problems that preceded the war. He knew what he was managing, that he had the best potential… Honestly, this makes him even more tragic in my eyes)

Winglord is a duty to move society forward and take care of it, a guarantee of progress. Stagnation for this status means loss of independence for all seekers.

"Found Family" is the best trope that exists. When I have time, I'll draw all the characters from One Piece with this trope.

I am g1 fan so I wodering, What happen to g1 human how they cyberform? Witwicky family was it all once or over time? Chip it was Decpticon how it happened to him? What happen with Raoul? Also I like your au vary much so far🫶

(Sorry if my English is not great)

Hi Anon! Don't worry I got you! (You're doing great! English isn't my native language either, so you're doing pretty well!) Thank you, I'm glad you like my AU!

Some of them were cyberformed, including: Sparkplug Witwicky, Spike Witwicky, Carly, Daniel Witwicky, Chip Chase, Raoul. Of course there were other characters like Astoria, but I didn't take them because I found them less interesting (and I think their influence on the plot is less significant).

In my story, the Witwicky family is quite large and is divided into two large branches, the first branch is headed by Sparkplug, the second branch with Ron at the head (so in my universe, Sam from Bayverse is part of this large family, not left without the supervision of relatives hehe). I will also make a small note that at the time when the events of G1 take place, Spike in my AU is older, he already has a wife Carly and a teenage son Daniel. (Everything is more or less canon, just a little older, but otherwise the events do not change). Sparkplug, Spike and Carly worked closely with the Cybertronians, since they essentially established contact first, the human government could not brush them off. The government allowed them as agents for communication. Among the Cybertronians, they found loyal friends and a company that probably understood them. Daniel probably got his pass later, when the Ark opened up a zone for human agents (in terms of training, he switched to distance learning. Plus, the government decided that Cybertronians could teach a teenager something and he would share the knowledge with other agents). They were the first to go through the cyberformation process, which shocked the government.

In fact, the entire family from the first branch was cyberformed, the sudden loss of contact for the second branch was explained by the fact that they moved to another country, and in this case, relatives can really lose contact. Why they decided to cyberform them at all was because Spike and Sparkplug actively participated in battles, they were often captured by the Decepticons, and they were often exposed to other dangers. Optimus heard a lot of worries from his Autobots, so he decided to protect them in this way, besides, they were already christened as "Honorary Autobots". Nevertheless, during a long acquaintance, he understood that family is important for people, so he thought for a long time about whether to allow them to become Cybertronians (they were lucky that the whole family were close friends of Cybertronians, this simplified Optimus's moral struggle). I think the order of infection was as follows: Sparkplug, then Spike and Carly (at the same time), and then Daniel.

Sparkplug was infected and cyberformed after the episode where his mind was taken over (I'm not sure, but it was Season 1, Episode 11). The man was angry, afraid that this would separate him from Spike, Carly, and his grandson, but his worries were in vain. If you remember, in Season 2, I think Episode 17 ("Autobot Spike"), Spike suffered from a Decepticon attack. In my AU, this event even happened, but his injuries were not so significant. Nevertheless, this incident became extremely indicative for the Autobots, which is why Spike and Carly were infected, just after the man began to recover. After this, the Autobots basically had a "protocol" in which a person with the status of "honorary Autobot" under certain circumstances must go through Cyberforming. Oddly enough, Spike and Carly knew what was going to happen to them, as Bumblebee and Ironhide did not hide their feelings and asked permission directly. Daniel was probably the last one, because Spike and Carly wanted to be able to comfort their son during this painful process. The Autobots and Witwicky did not wait until he was in danger and acted first.

Regarding Chip Chase, no, he did not become a Decepticon. His show up for the first time already more than enough, he literally in the very first episode with his appearance was in danger. In my AU, he was allowed as a human technology specialist, a kind of consultant for the Cybertronians. Because of his lack of mobility and knowledge, the Decepticons began to take him prisoner so often for ransom and exchange that one could joke that every second "Tuesday and Thursday" he appears to them (this became an unpleasant part of the routine). At first, the Decepticons treated him with disdain, but then he became a kind of window into human culture, relatively willingly answering questions and giving explanations. The Seekers were especially impressed by him, oddly enough, it was his disability that was the reason for this. They probably compared the loss of mobility with the loss of the ability to fly and it touched them to the quick, besides, Chip is smart. They just thought it would be great to get this mind into their ranks, only they didn't take into account that the guy was a supporter of the Autobots. The Autobots asked him for permission and he gave it quite consciously, cyberforming was his chance to walk (and fly) again. Despite all the efforts of the Seekers to get Chip to become a Decepticon, fortunately this did not happen. When he became a Cybertronian, they tried to influence his programming, but Chip resisted this (although it was difficult). In the AU, he became a flight instructor and a first-class pilot using his observations of the Seekers and using human aerobatics. Roughly speaking, even before the appearance of the Aerialbots, the Decepticons acquired a dangerous enemy in the sky (and given Chip's undeniable superiority at night, the Decepticons began to appear in the sky less often at this time. If there were missions at night, they flew only in trines).

Now about Raoul, although his encounter with the Autobots is not different in any way, Raoul essentially took advantage of the ticket to a relatively poor life after helping (sorry, I have a headcanon that he is from a very vulnerable segment of the population). He is a great guy (with a kind heart) and he has this chemistry with Tracks. After the encounter with Megatron, Tracks was concerned about the safety of his comrade, he was afraid that this confrontation and the vindictiveness of the Decepticons could put him in danger. He talked Blaster into it and thanks to his actions, the government was literally forced to make him an agent. Since it is not known what is going on with his family or friends, his disappearance in the gang was rather perceived as the fact that he got involved with the wrong people and "disappeared". Tracks did not hide it and almost openly asked him if he wanted to become a Cybertronian, and since it seems to me that Raoul is an enthusiast, he took it positively. He had something to run from in the human world and took it as a chance for a new life. As a Cybertronian, he mainly began to master engineering as a specialty, although he definitely likes to have fun and play pranks.

For the rest, to understand what Cyberform AU is: Character List Lore parts: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Answers to questions: Q&A1, Q&A2, Q&A3, Q&A4, Q&A5, Q&A6

“Are we Cybertronians?”  Very strange AU, where these three were always bots. Perhaps, I write a small fan fiction, to my AU.

Hey, I'm alive. I will not show most of the drawings, but I will post the old ones that are. Keep Ravage! I drew it for a very long time but I am happy with the result.

Mentorship in Cybertronian Culture.

You know the idea of ​​mentorship in Cybertronian culture has so much potential. I like to think about it and imagine different scenarios and features that could happen. It's like a spoonful of honey to imagine the structure of family units in Cybertronian culture. (Thanks to Skybound where they talk about it as "clans", you feed my favorite trope of the "found family").

I think mentorship differs depending on the class of the bot, the type of frame, the destiny (future job) they are assigned, and also the method of appearance (well, you know, there are only two in canon: forged and constructed. Sparklings are not included in this system due to the fact that they have creators). This creates an extremely wide variety in how someone was trained, looked after, this also shapes personality, character traits and habits (someone is more aware because he had a lot of time to learn, and vice versa, someone less because from the moment he appeared he only had to work). Of course, it is impossible to give all new bots a mentor, moreover, I think mentoring is a fairly voluntary matter that is monitored by certain bodies (analogous to child protection, only "Protection of Newbies", maybe there is some other name there, I don't know. The child protection system in different countries is different, so I can't compare it to anything specific). Although I think it does not protect against bad mentors or the absence of them at all (a whole portal to angst, for those who were unlucky. At such moments, I remember Soundwave, who was found by Ravage).

I also like to assume that the style and culture of Cybertronian city-states are different, that mentors absorb it themselves and pass it on to their wards. Imagine if a Cybertronian from Iacon moved to Kaon to work, took a newbie there and trained him. Of course, the new bot would absorb Iacon traits like a sponge, poor stupid baby. And considering the idea @lets-try-some-writing, about how young Cybertronians learn to speak… (sorry, I like it so much, I hope you don't mind if i mentioning it). Just imagine how many ridiculous, comedic situations would happen to newbies.

I'm convinced that Cybertronians most likely have equivalents to social networks. So mentors would exchange funny videos and photos of how the new bot is trying to learn about the world around them. You know, like that parent who remembers all your shame and when meeting your boyfriend/girlfriend tries to show them your most ridiculous moments because they think it's cute. Just imagine the funniest ridiculous ideas, the likelihood that they could happen increases. OOO OR BETTER! Imagine that the mentor bot has not one newbie, but several… The newbies would behave like that noisy childe pack that the adult bot would have to place in different corners.

I also like the ridiculous idea that new Cybertronians could try to imitate everything they see (this is their attempt to understand their own position, social aspects of behavior and generally how to fit into society and the world). Even, for example, Cybertronian fauna. For one of my characters, I literally created a scene where the mentor is walking with a newbie and his service cyberhound. When the Senior bot decides to throw something like a stick to the cyberhound, he naturally shouts "Fetch" and just watches as the newbie runs after the stick with his dog… Imagine the face of the newbie, who was then explained that he is not a cyberhound, he does not need to try to take the stick away or run after it. (This shame was not washed away, but the mentor is touched by this, as the newbie was small and stupid). What a mentor sees when a newbie awkwardly slips on level ground:

Team RID2015 Grimlock, Sideswipe, Strongarm, Russell and Fixit~ ( I think Bumblebee is still part of the team Prime)

Honestly I find this "Chonkwave" thing hilarious✨ I did this to amuse myself a little, I hope you'll giggle too.
