Transformers Predaking - Tumblr Posts
Here, take a bunch of Predaking, Skylynx and Darksteel headcanons!
As a treat!! They were a treat for me to write ✍️. Silly dragon guys I ❤️❤️ Love them.
✧˖*°࿐
- Of course he would never admit this to anyone who doesn’t already know, but Predaking is extremely ticklish on the bottom of his feet, only back towards his heels. Darksteel found this out the hard way one day when he thought it would be silly to try tickling him while he was having a snooze and accidentally got kicked into next Thursday.
- Skylynx likes to wake up extra early to see the sunrise. He sneaks away to be as alone as possible, just before dawn breaks, and finds a good place to watch the sun come up. He loves soaking in the first morning rays of sunshine. It’s usually his favorite part of the day! He never talks about it to anyone though, it would be spoiled if anyone else tried to come with.
- Darksteel loves tiny creatures. He just thinks they’re so cool (anything but scraplets). If he had ever met Lazerbeak he would have been a fan. In my AU, there’s all sorts of “tiny” (by cybertronian standards) bug-like creatures and he collects them! He gets so hyped up learning about new ones. Maybe he’d like humans, but who knows..
- Predaking, even if he had legions of subjects, is super attentive and has a very detailed memory. He’d remember everyone’s name, face, even things about their personality/things they’d mention liking. He is definitely one of those people who would gift someone something they had only just slightly mentioned wanting (and had probably forgotten they said anything about it in the first place).
- Darksteel counts it as a great victory if he ever gets Skylynx to full-on laugh with him. It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes they both get really silly over something and Darksteel likes not being the only one laughing for once.
- This isn’t much of a headcanon because it’s probably pretty true, but I’ll take it further. Predaking loves reading. Researching, yes of course, since he needs to know all he can to best serve his people; but aside from that he just loves to read. Novels, poems, news reports, you name it. He’s already read it. His particular favorite though, is novels. I once imagined him reading Jane Austen and I can’t get it out of my head now. I’m sure he was ready to throw down for Elizabeth when Mr. Darcy insulted her family in Pride and Prejudice. (Imagine the Autobots giving him some datapads filled with similar content from Earth for him to read, to help maintain a good relationship with the Predacons… And he’s genuinely so hyped but trying to be professional in the moment 😭)
- Probably nobody else on Cybertron does this but when Darksteel gets extra giddy about something he trots. At least in quadroped mode anyway, he doesn’t exactly skip in bipedal mode because well that would be too embarrassing and he’s too fierce for that… but it’s okay to do as a dragon in his own mind.
- Skylynx and Darksteel both like trying to blow smoke rings. Like how they do in movies, with cigars and such. Instead of needing to be smoking something, if they do something similar to a belch, they can naturally puff out smoke instead of fire. Sometimes they’re even able to get Predaking to play along and the three contend with each other on who can do the best ones.
- At some point, they get a hold of a great bunch of music files. Things get a little tense. While Predaking is trying to enjoy Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture (complete with cannons), Darksteel is playing Dragostea din tei too loud. Skylynx can’t stand any of it and just wants to listen to his Grizzly Bear playlist in peace, so to avoid confrontation everyone sort of splits off to mind their own music. Hopefully they get some custom headphones soon. (Basically, Predaking’s all about classical music, Darksteel loves meme songs, and Skylynx is an indie folk fan)
- Predaking usually doesn’t remember his dreams, but when he does they’re extremely abstract yet vivid. Mostly, they’re representations of whatever he has been feeling most. Because he sleeps rather lightly, they are pretty rare.
- Skylynx sleeps deeply, and has realistic dreams that have their own plots and everything. Sometimes he even has consecutive nights that are the same dream just continued on from where it left off the night before. He likes to keep track of these stories and writes down everything he can remember as soon as he gets a chance.
- Darksteel also gets good deep sleep most of the time. Though he never remembers his dreams enough to be able to talk about them or write them down, he knows they must be pretty good, because he never seems to wake up in a bad mood. Of all the three Predacons, he usually is the one to wake up most refreshed.
- All three take their morning energon (or whatever equivalent of breakfast there may be) together, usually in a comfortable silence. They do have their own routines to get ready for the day, but they also like to, actively like to, spend calm time together before the day officially starts. It’s one of the many subtle things they do naturally that shows that they’re getting quite close as bretheren after all.
I don’t think I can verbalize how much I love and care for Predaking as a person like I cannot find a better character. Like he has at base such a compelling and complex personality and I just don’t feel like him being a cannibalistic idiot in ancient times suits him. Like come on. How do you get current Predaking from that..?? And don’t tell me Shockwave made him that way because he does not have those kinds of genes to pass on 😭😭
Also if Shockwave even had the ability to modify him to that extent he would have had to look at Predaking’s insides and then he would have seen the t-cog. 🙄🙄🙄
My root canal went really well so here’s a celebratory headcanon :3333
Post-war Predaking helping his dad Shockwave with some of his work because some big projects need extra hands and the vehicons aren’t exactly there for that anymore. Predaking indirectly learns a lot of science and actually gets pretty good at it (He’s smart!)
Shockwave hearing some of his ideas and… they’re at times surprisingly… logical…? And he actually implements them. He slowly becomes like a mentor to Predaking, at times deliberately explaining and demonstrating things for the purpose of educating him. Unintentionally he starts finding fulfillment in it, either because he is seeing his experiment have such success in intelligence or maybe because having someone earnestly curious in his work (especially someone who’s such a good listener and asks intelligent questions) is …slightly enjoyable.
TFP ancient predicon reader, predaking will soon learn he's not the king when meeting them seeing they just meet a predicon emperor/empress ( trying to be neutral here)
Who just told them to bow down to the true king/queen of the beast
I think I understand what you mean (I'm known for not being the brightest) so I will try my best! Also, thank you for having patience with me! I am going as fast as I can with my hurt amr/hand.
Predaking X Predicon Reader
Predaking knew he wasn't seeing things. He was right! There is another predicon. Though, he doesn't remember another predicon being made in the lab with him. And there were no records of another predicon being made before him.
So, who was this predicon? With a mission on his mind, he set out to find this random predicon and see who or what they are.
He found them the next time he was out to find a cybertronian artifact. They stood still, stearing at eachother. They didn't move, speak, or attack.
After a while, Predaking decided to speak first. Making sure his voice is loud and and strong.
"I am predaking! The king of all predicons."
"That'd a stupid name."
"What-How dare you! You will respect you're king!"
Ya, this other predicon beat the living shit out of predaking. This predion was not a lab made one. This one was a original. They where called (Y/N).
(Y/N) attacked him in ways he never new was possible or seemed stupid to do. After they beat him, he ask if they show him the ways of the predicons since he is only a lab made one.
(Y/N) only agreed to this if predaking leaves the decpticons since (Y/N) is with the autobots. Obviously predaking dident want to since he made to serve the decpticons but with knowing his roots and his kind from a real predicon, he had to.
So, he left the decpticons and joined the autobots. (Optimus welcomed him with open arms) and there, is when (Y/N) showed him how to be a predicon.
How to fly in ways that makes the air bend at you're command, so you can fly faster, slower, upside down, or anything.
How to breath diffrent type of fire, blue for the coldest fire and purple being the hottest.
How to find energon with only you're sense of smell and instincts.
And how to act like one.
After years of this, predaking is happy. He has become one with his instincts and now became real predicon.
(Y/N) was still on his side when they went to cybertron and when the new 2 predicon where found and made by the decpticons, they brought them in with open arms and showed then their original ways.
They flue thru the sky's of cybertron, enjoying how free it is. They enjoyed They wernt alone. (Y/N) was happy to know they weren't alone.
The autobots helped them make more predicons just like Shockwave did. When more and more predicons where made, they took them and showed them the right way.
How a predicon acts, lives, eat, etc. They helped cybertron grow. They help bring back the land to life and made sure to make peace with the autobots.
After everything. Predaking was happy. He had his species, had friends, family, a purpose, and a old friend who showed him how to be what he is.
Predaking is happy.
He is free
He will portect all of it.
the Great Prince of the Forest I mean Predaking
Finally tried actually drawing this man and….. HOW DO PEOPLE DO THISSS??!??!! AAAHHGHHAHAHAAHHHH
It was fun though. I really wanted to draw him smiling. He’s giving you a thumbs up, as if to say, “You can do this!!!” So, whatever tough thing you may or may not be going through right now, know that Inspirational Predaking is cheering you on!
