Big thanks and credit to @cartoonyhappyface as well for letting me use their garment designs!

I have SO much going on in my brain regarding this AU it’s so much fun! I had a great time reimagining my guys for it. I’ve had these in the drafts for a couple of months now, so some of it has outdated ideas (mainly the last frame… as we’ve gotten more information about the other primes some of the HCs don’t fit anymore, but the sentiment is still there)

I’ve got a lot of yap about this AU and personal HCs for it I want to spit out all at once so… I apologize in advance

Lord Yappatron incoming:

CW and TO are sparklinghood friends who go into apprenticeship together, get their cogs, and then go into their respective fields once they graduate. They are before D16 and Orion’s time, being peers with the likes of Starscream and Soundwave.

CW becomes a timekeeper and engineer/strategist. Timekeepers make sure everything in Cybertron runs smoothly, kind of like a manager, being responsible for anything that goes wrong in their sector and being expected to fix it. Nothing goes under the noses of Timekeepers, they have a creepy tendency to know about everything and everyone in their assigned sector.

TO becomes a surface navigator and tracking expert along with his trinemates. Surface Navigators are affiliated with the High Guard, kind of like a sub-department, they act as guides leading expeditions to the surface. In addition to being tracking experts, Surface Navigators often help hunt down criminals.

TO meets his trinemates, Voyager and Yonder, while in his apprenticeship- naturally all a part of the same house. Some Onyx Prime graduates get Beast cogs and therefore Beast alt modes, arguably going under the most change in terms of their physical form when receiving their cogs- known to be painful. TO and his trine get bird-like beast modes akin to Airazor.

CW does not like TO’s trinemates. He’ll get over it though. (no he won’t (foreshadowing))

Also, Onyx’s students having shit taste in men? Yeah that tracks (hilariously)
