Cyberform AU: Answers to questions 6

Hi Anon! Ooooohhhhh✨! Thank you so much! I'm actually incredibly happy that so many people are interested in my idea, that they ask me questions. I'm just incredibly obsessed with my idea and it makes me happy to see other people's interest. It makes me incredibly happy, I'm like a sunflower getting all the light in the universe! I plan to continue developing all this by writing lore articles and answering questions, maybe making funny videos, drawing designs and making short stories! (Thank you, I'm so glad you like it and thanks for waiting, I hope you like the answer)

I was expecting this question because the attitude of Decepticons is a really interesting topic. I will say in advance that my plot is different due to the multiverse, but some events remain original. In fact, Decepticons from one show to another (as in the comics) are quite dismissive of people, not very kind at all. However, I like to think that this is only because they consider us imperfect, however, courage, determination, ingenuity, flexible mind, cunning and other our qualities actually pleasantly surprise them. I would say that they are too lazy to look closely at people and individuals on their own, they have many more important things to do. Despite this, there are also Decepticons who devote their time to studying humanity closer (Swindle and Lockdown, for example). In a way, they sympathize with us, because throughout the history of our species, we have had many revolutions to achieve a better world for ourselves. The Decepticons are quite capable of understanding this, moreover, they watch human conflicts with interest in my opinion (Their personal talk show, in which they do not even need to interfere). They are fascinated by the chaos of nature, which then generates order to repeat the cycle again (Megatron, for the most part, seems to me to believe that this is precisely the flexibility that the Cybertronians themselves lack).

Decepticons rely mostly on Autobots for cyberforming, they don't want to look at humans under close scrutiny themselves. They just look at those who have already been chosen by the Autobots, if they like someone for one reason or another, well… It's better for the poor person to hold on because their methods are less gentle. They won't even ask permission from a person for this important change in a life. Decepticons believe that a person should be flattered that they were considered strong and outstanding enough to be made a Cybertronian. Needless to say, the cyberforming process for the "victims" of the purple faction's attention is more emotionally unpleasant and painful due to the lack of empathy and support. They have no friendships, yes, Decepticons know the person they have chosen well, they have a connection, but it is business, and not a deep personal one like friendship. Does this create a question of the loyalty of the former people? Yeah, but Megatron clearly has a lot of experience in making even the most dubious mechs in his faction work for him, so that's obviously not a problem.

Autobot allies who suffer from Decepticon attention are usually fairly well protected (however, embarrassments still happen and they can receive Decepticon nanites in addition to those given to them by the Autobots). The Autobots have a modest list of those who have suffered from excessive attention from another faction, but fortunately the moral compass of these people is strong enough and they remain on their path together with the Autobots (unfortunately, in my story, this will still "shoot them in the knee joint").

The list of Autobot allies who were subjected to Decepticon nanites includes (In brackets I wrote the Decepticons from whom these people received nanites):

– William Lennox (Megatron), Robert Epps (Brawl), Mikaela Banes (Barricade), Chip Chase (It is very difficult to say who exactly, there were quite a lot of seekers, he was often kidnapped for ransom or exchange. There is a possibility that it was TC and Skywarp), Alexis (Starscream), Isaac Sumdac (Shockwave), June Darby (Airachnid), Rafael Esqivel (Soundwave).

However, this is not the end, there is a separate list of people who were elected by the Decepticons, without the help of the Autobots. Of course, the reasons for which they were elected were more complex, foggy, these individuals obviously correspond to the main feature of the Decepticons themselves, namely, cunning. In contrast to the number of allies of the Autobots, these people are several times smaller. And yet, these cyberformed have peculiar personal scores with those who were cyberformed by the Autobots. They transferred their personal confrontation to factional showdowns. The process of cyberformation is not much different from the one I described, mainly Shockwave monitors its process, who located one of his laboratories on Deception Island near Antarctica (irony pudums). This is a secluded place where people do not appear and no one can interfere with his work. The conditions outside the laboratory can be quite harsh even for Cybertronians, so it is a kind of fortress. The Autobots do not attack this place because the Decepticons' cyberformed people are still humans and they respect their lives.

Unlike the Autobot allies, the Decepticons' charges actively participate in combat. No one is particularly gentle with them, you either learn or you don't. And it's better to be a useful warrior, a medic, a hunter, than to be useless always under the risk that the faction's chief scientist will turn his gaze on you (he will still pay attention, former people surprisingly have unique features). Shockwave's lab has enough space, it's a full-fledged base for adaptation, training. Obviously, the new "Deceptics" have their own Commune "Deception", they do not have a clearly defined leader because everyone strives to pull a patch of the blanket of glory and leadership to their side. The eternal struggle between them is actively encouraged, it is normal to find out who is better suited to lead the commune, although the main one in any case is Megatron.

Here is a list of those who were cyberformed by the Decepticons (those who became nanite donors are again indicated in brackets):

- Doctor Arkeville (Shockwave and Starscream), Dylan Gold (Soundwave), Silas|Leland Bishop (Onslag), Doctor Thaddeus Morocco (Shockwave), Madeline Pynch (Swindle), Priscilla Pynch (Slipstream), Quint Quarry (Lockdown), Harold Attinger (Lockdown), Vince (Stunticons).

I think I'll probably write a separate lore part about them a little bit later in a little more detail, I don't know if I'll make Cybertronian designs for them, but here's some information. I hope you'll really enjoy reading this, because your question made me think about who exactly is on the list of "lucky ones" and where exactly the cyberformation of these people takes place, because no one wants to send organics to Nemesis.

What about memes?

Cyberform AU

I love the different take on human characters in the Transformers fandom (from any universe). But what I've noticed is that a lot of people skirt around the G1 thing. You know? Most of the cyberformation fanfics are either TFP (mostly them, because Sari from Animated doesn't need it). Gen 1 has some amazing characters who are smart and brave and get into equally dangerous situations. I have an AU where people become Cybertronians, so I decided to expand on that. (I drew Chip Chase and Danial, so why not?)

I definitely find the idea of ​​putting my AU together a good one. I don't like the idea of ​​cyberformed people being alone in their universes (literally small groups, two or three bots, sounds terribly sad). I'll probably write my thoughts about this AU here from time to time. (I also have old drawings from 2018) Maybe there will be some art here, but I'm not sure I'm in the terrible art block right now.

This AU doesn't have a name, so let's call it Cyberform AU?

@adventuremaker16  Drawings for you! I was glad to draw these characters!

My headcanon of Heath’s and Holt’s/ Jackson’s families

Heath’s father - Flame Burns, and mother - Smoky Burns (Hyde)

*sniff* gotta love that brother/sister love

For the first time in a long time, I made an update to the design of my character. It looks good and you can immediately see the progress in style.

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.
