I accidentally noted Shockwave’s name down as “Sockwave” and @botstripper asked if that means he’d wear socks over his ears, so I had to do this naturally
These will be available as mugs in my shop eventually!
I can absolutely see TFA Megs being embarrassed by the DJD. I mean, they have a STATUE of him. Tarn has a collection of his “first editions” on the walls of his room and undoubtedly a picture of him under the table, covered in kisses.
I do wonder whether Lugnut’s reaction would be embarrassment, too, though, or whether he’d start to feel a bit territorial, the way he does with Shockwave. 🙂 And for that matter – Shockwave Vs. Tarn, Loyalty Grudge Match! Oooh, I’d love to be a fly on the wall. 😀
This is only slightly related, but the mental image in my head rn:
TFP Megs: man, I could reeaaaaally do with less backtalk from the rest of my troops
G1 Megs: Count your blessings, one of mine staged a coup from a football stadium
IDW Megs: you mean you actually HAVE others who are unquestioningly loyal??
TFA Megs, throwing Shockwave and Lugnut bodily at the rest: PLEASE. TAKE THEM. I HAVE TOO MANY
This is amazing and now I’m picturing the other Megatrons, a little gobsmacked, actually adopting Lugnut and Shockwave.
TFP Starscream does not know what to make of this dude who keeps yelling about the GLORIOUS GLORY of the GLORIOUS MEGATRON! Picture a small, angry cat whose owner has just adopted a very big, super loyal and extremely loud dog.
And IDW Megs is just shoving TFA Shockwave in IDW Shockwave’s face like, Oh, you like him? This is my NEW Shockwave, the one who DOESN’T plot against me for four million years by seeding time-travel ores on organic planets. HE’S 100% loyal! He’s like Soundwave without the pesky scruples!
And TFA Shockwave’s like, This is correct, I have no scruples. Also I can do this with my arms. Many are the reasons why Lord Megatron prizes my service.
Meanwhile, BW Megs is just standing there boasting, “I myself also have two loyal soldiers!”
Other Megatrons: You mean two spare loyal soldiers, like he does, right?
BW Megs: … no. Two.
Other Megatrons: Two TOTAL? Out of how many?
BW Megs: … I don’t want to talk about this anymore.
