Lmfaoooo, I just imagined?? A silly TFA soul mate-wrist thing?

I know this AU has been done a million times but like?? Imagine Optimus hiding his from his peers and no one knows why? They’re like… oh, maybe he’s embarrassed…

But the truth is that he thinks he’ll be tried for treason before he even graduates the Academy because it is there he learns that damn name on his wrist is ALSO the name of the warlord responsible for this war he was born into????

Just imagine an instructor being like “A name you should all do well to remember… and that name is… Megatron.” And Optimus goes “EEP.”

“Something wrong, Optimus?”

“NO, NOTHING, UHHH HE’S JUST SO SCARY, IS ALL…”

Umm??? Can I add to this???

Assuming the events of TFA still happen maybe Optimus purposely doesn’t let Megatron know his name on earth.

Like in the og Megatron calls Optimus ‘Prime’ all of the time because he don’t give a fuck but here maybe Optimus purposely doesn’t let anyone say his name.

Like it’s the middle of a typical battle and Prowl is like

“Opti-!”

And Optimus is constantly interjecting with, “YES PROWL I, THE PRIME AM PAYING ATTENTION”

And everyone involved even the Decepticons are just like, “The fuck is wrong with this guy”

I’m cackling. One day, Megs and pals knock Optimus out and start grabbing him to take him as a hostage or something, and Bumblebee runs up like, “Hey! You let Optimus go!!!”

And Megs goes bolt-stiff.

“…O….. Optimus???? That can’t be–” and he quickly flips the poor guy around, frantically searching for the wrist with his own damn name on it, and finally, “Oh… slag.”

“Change of plans, Blitzwing. You all hold them off while I… uh, secure the prisoner. Do not return to base until I say so.”

“You have our word, Lord Megatron.” *clik wrr* “And MY AXE!” *swings Optimus’ confiscated battle axe*

(I’m gonna start this with a… Should we colab on this… Or….?)

I want a scene where Megatron is kinda really concerned about it.

Like yes he has a responsibility to the Decepticons and yes he’s gotta take back Cybertron but right now? He’s gotta figure out a way to fix this mess.

Do you know how many times he’s tried to kill or had threatened to kill the Prime? So he’s absolutely panicked about what Optimus is gonna do when he wakes up and oh God didn’t Starscream actually Kill Optimus once? This is such a mess oh God-

“Are you gonna just stare at me all day? Or ee we gonna get down to the torture?”

AND WHEN DID OPTIMUS WAKE UP!?

Never could Optimus have imagined a warlord’s plating was capable of jolting as dramatically as that– but it definitely did– and now here he was, trying not to let it occupy his thoughts more than his escape protocols. How long will it be until he can loosen these cables…? Damn…

Megatron quickly gained composure and tried to take control of the situation, “I should be the one asking questions here….. Prime.”

Oh hell, he hesitated.

And the little Autobot noticed, if the subtle squirming stopping was of any indication.

Slag it all.

“As it stands, I only have one for now: what is your name?”

(I hope it’s ok if I cut in briefly?)

Optimus told him.

And then took entirely too much pleasure in watching the fearsome Lord of the Decepticons raise both servos to his helm in a gesture most certainly learned from a human (after all, Cybertronians had no hair TO tear), glare at him with utter frustration, groan, and then lower his servos.

“Of all the slagprocessored…” Megatron looked at his wrist, then at Optimus, then back again, and Optimus had to admit, it was nice to see that Megatron was handling this worse than he had. 

“Yeah,” he said, because there were times and places for discretion and this wasn’t one, “now imagine having to hide it from the Elite Guard all your function.”
