Tfp Alpha Trion - Tumblr Posts

Honestly, I can't stress enough how "They're only human" fits aligned! Shockwave and Alpha Trion.

Like, on one hand, the female part is made for AT, cuz it has a lot of mentions of "fate", "chances" and ect. He isn't a transformer as others are, he sees future, so he can easily play the role of the God who is very curious of this more grounded relationships. A-3 had those with others primes, but since they all left the planet (at least he thinks they did), he can't have even relations, cuz he's busy (decoding covenant) and the others would never be able to sympathize with his problems/duties. Yet he doesn't put himself on the pedestal, for he's already saw that primes are no saints in any way, shape or form. So while he's unable to connect with others, he doesn't make a king of himself, giving this role to others (Sentinel, Optimus). Sometimes Alpha Trion goes with the flow too much, not doing anything when it's needed.

On the other hand there's Shockwave. The 'human' in this situation, but who considers himself more than it. He is the scientist, ruled by his perception of logic and has no sympathy for others, if it gets results. And he is bored by classicist system and others, cuz they don't see what he sees. Shocky wants to know more and more, which makes him ruthless. Yet the lyric "..never knowing their truth is another man's lie" fits really well. Shockwave is one of the few, who knows AT's secret, so he may consider some historical facts as lies, and myths as truth (Alpha trion has a record of lying about existence of some prime relics)

I'll probably never get the chance to draw it, but it fits a little too much.

You're inspiring me to write smt silly abt them XDDD

I adore you for reminding me how cute Smokescreen is <3

hehehehe so while I was looking through my DMs I found a little snippet/dialoug thing thing I wrote for Guard Duty so I Thought It'd Be Fun To Share It :)

"Smokescreen?" Trion asks, noticing his hesitance.

".....you said I should trust my spark, right?" he finally whispers.

Alpha Trion frowns in response, not out of displeasure but of confusion. "I did. Why are you bringing this up now?"

The boy take in a shakey vent. "I guarded you for thousands of years Trion. You've taught me so much and..... thank you can't even cover my thanks."

The frown deepens.

"Smokescreen?" there's a nervous edge to his tone, the edges of his plating tensing a bit.

At his name, Smokescreen looks back, his optics slightly wet and a big smile on his face.

"Sorry to bail on you."

For all his age and wisdom, the realization strikes him too late.

His eyes widen and a spike of pure fear strikes his spark, but before he can even get a word out, his guard, his friend, his son was already running back to the portal

And Trion tries to chase him, really he does. But Smokescreen is young and spry and trained, and Alpha Trion is older than the planet Cybertron itself

He doesn't make it

I tried, he's difficult:(
