The Longest Running Joke In The History Of Cybertron

The longest running joke in the history of cybertron

I like to think the real reason Megatronus Prime became known as the Fallen was because a Seeker of the time would yell "Megatronus Prims has Fallen!" every time there was an incident where he ended up on the ground. And that history recorded this name and it got past down and now everyone believes he did something bad to be referred to as The Fallen.

And hilariously, history repeated it's self when a certain Megatron made a Seeker his Air Commander lol.

Description: An animatic on the origin of Megatron in the Aligned Continuity.

Hi everyone!

I finally got this done! And just in time for Transformers One to come out (PLEASE GO SEE IT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY).

A few months ago I was hell-bent on learning how to storyboard and this was my first attempt! Of course I used my obsession as practice lol. I hope to post more animatic attempts in future, but with the new job things have been slow.....er....slower (being another cog in the machine is time consuming, what can I say?)

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed!

I…AHAHAHHA…I DID THe THING

but watch out, dearly beloveds bc im bouta strike again

The one and only Severus Snape™ as we all know, is alternate as hell. we joke about him being emo/goth but literally he absolutely would have been. He would've been considered alt in the muggle world AND in the wizarding world, and so it stands to reason that he absolutely 10000% would've painted/charmed his nails black. We all know and understand this deep within our souls.

SO THEN CONSIDER:

Teen Sev, obviously goth as hell - but then he returns! As Young Teacher Sev - STILL goth and - get this - by now the goth subculture is absolutely boomin! Its all the rage with the muggleborn kids and here is Severus Snape, the epitome of everything a goth strives to be, WITH the attitude to match?? im telling you this man has fans. I'm telling u the muggleborn Hogwarts goth kids are swooning everytime he stands there menacingly or glides around ominously, and I'm telling you they think he's sick as hell.

But the problem: He Doesnt Realize any of it

Because Severus Snape, bless his tortured little heart, has no idea or concept of what Goth is. He never set out here deciding to be goth, and this - all of this - is purely circumstantial. He doesn't Know wtf alt subcultures are! he doesn't know what the hell these kids are talking about! He may be halfblood, but he spent most of his years so far specifically trying to distance himself from muggle culture. This man is out here accidentally being goth, simply because he happens to like all of the same things.

and the thing is, all the purebloods and halfbloods who have been raised in the wizarding world? They dont know either.

So what ends up Happening?

All these goth muggleborns adoringly call him terrifying, they call him The Dungeon Bat in genuine admiration. He's so scary and cool. but everyone else hearing this doesnt know what the hell is going on so everyone, including Severus himself, just assumes it's derogatory. and Eventually it does become that way, because the others use it that way. Because those muggleborns come and go, but the students who were there when he was still a student, and those purebloods/halfbloods who had older siblings at hogwarts are able to pass on their negative views of him.

...and ain't that some nonsense? Over time, The Dungeon Bat fanclub learns to be quieter about their affectionate terms, but make no mistake - they're still around.

Prompt: Ghost are still considered non-sentient, which leads to people playing Pokémon with the ghost and unfortunately for Danny, he's basically a legendary with some high stats and it was only time before someone was able to snatch him up.

Ghost being more beasty or ethereal looking, they communicate through Ghost speak which just sounds like hisses/growls to other species. Danny looks like a Naga and communicates like one.

Warning: The Bats treating Phantom like a wild newly discovered creature species. Scientific discussions about his body in front of him, discussions about Ghosts possibly being able to breed because in Phantom form, Danny is duel gendered.

“How!?”

“Jealous?”, Jason watched in amusement as the youngest in the family fumed and stomped around, the kid honestly looked like an angry kitten. Not his fault he managed to snag the Ghost before the rest of them, besides it was in his Alley, so he had rights to it anyway.

Didn’t stop Damian from glaring and huffing about it being unfair, everyone else was either ignoring them or just rolling their eyes in expiration.

Not that he could blame the kid, catching Phantom was basically hitting the lottery, the Ghost was on the top of the list of most wanted. There were videos, essays, debates, everything on them from species type, to power sets, possible weaknesses, likely Obsessions…and Jason caught them. He pinned them down and snapped the collar on as soon as he saw who exactly was haunting his territory.

Currently Phantom was going through an observation…okay, they were currently being poked at by Tim and Bruce, the Replacement eagerly jotting down things he found or didn’t find, treating procedure like a puzzle.

The Ghost was curled up in the observation table, currently wrapped up in a snake like tail instead of legs, giving off Naga vibes that included hissing and snapping teeth in mock bites.

There was no real threat behind the actions considering the poor things condition, whatever or whoever had tried to catch the feral beastie did a number on them before Jason was able to snatch them for his own.

No matter, Jason took care of his things and he’ll have his new companion looking all shiny and pretty before long.

Dick was lazily spinning in Bruce’s computer chair, legs hanging askew, “Sooo, how are going to register them? Can’t exactly put down Red Hood in the Owner’s signature?”

“Going to go with the ‘Jason Todd and Red Hood being “secret” partners route’, as far as the docs will show, Phantom got caught by Hood in his territory and made a lovely gift to the Alley’s biggest supporter.”

“Nice.”

A silent agreeable silence passed between them as everything started to truly settle for the night.

Phantom was still hissing as Tim held out a device to scan over the Ghost, “Mostly exhaustion, energy drained, malnutrition, probably due to being on the run and unable to get a proper meal. Oh, congratulations, it’s a…hermaphrodite…huh…”

Bruce just hummed in response, taking the device from his son, “Not unusual, there have been reported cases of similar body formations, if you look here in this area, this is very close in resemblance to that of snakes cloaca, given how its been recorded of their ability to shift from tail to legs, it’s a high probability that there is an external and internal shift to match the forms and still keep the functionality of both genitalia.”

“So…wait! That means they can breed! Which means other Ghosts that are similar can too! Which means there are natural born Ghosts?”

“Ghost is only a common used term, coined by the Fentons, real ghosts like Deadman aren’t like these creatures, and given how terrible the Fentons research was…we are unable to fully understand most habits and causes of the species.”

Tim reached back for the scanner, eyes scrolling over the details in excited glee, beings that were basically unknown, improbably recorded, a huge mystery with smaller mysteries within, “I’m going to compare these scans with known species of reptiles, might get a standard bar of health in comparison and possible hints at behavior.”

Another hum came from the Dark Knight, focus turning to watching the youngest move his way in between him and Tim, Damian had came back dressed in civilian clothes and was holding an apple out to the Ghost, “I have brought you a treat.”

They all watched as Phantom hesitated, hissing slowly dissipating as it takes in the fruit, a clawed hand reaching out to take it, sniffing it before taking a small bite.

“So can eat fruit? Can they all eat fruit or just Phantom?”

“Hush, Drake, your voice is grating and might cause them to lash out in hopes of peaceful silence.”

“Excuse you!”

The two continued to bicker, the creature on the examination table just steadily continued eating, bright pure green eyes watching them before taking in the room.

Dick made an attention whistle at Jason, nodding at the way the Ghost was eyeing possible exits, his brother just shrugged in response.

With that collar, there wasn’t any place the other could hide without a Bat knowing exactly where they were.
