Tfa Longarm - Blog Posts

He’s just a silly guy, he could never be a decepticon spy trust. Just give him all your autobot intel

Bonus: size comparison between shockwave and longarm

Can we all just talk about how much practice it would have taken shockwave to finally figure out how to be nice and to smile to the Autobots?? I can just imagine him looking in the mirror with his computer screen on a Wikihow titled; “How to smile and have fun” and he is just like:

AU IDEA; It mixes Tfa with lore from Aligned, Idw, and a bit of tf one.

In the Aligned Continuity books it was make clear that Mirconus and Onyx prime were close. To the point that when Onyx had sacrificed himself to create the well of all-sparks, Mirconus had gone to join him since he couldn't bear to be parted from Onyx. In a way one can ship these two characters, I mean Solus was in a romantic relationship with Megatronus. The brotherhood was more in spirit, and bond between the thirteen primes.

Taking in the fact that Shockwave is Onyx in Idw. And that Mirconus cog was given to B-127, plus the fact that Bumblebee role in many continuities is similar to Mirconus. And that in the Aligned Continuity, Bumblebee was said to be one if not the last spark to be created.

I got the idea that some of the thirteen primes reincarnated, similar to Orion pax. With Bumblebee being Mirconus. It can happen in either that; 1. when it became clear that the planet was becoming ill from dark energon poisoning the it 2. a group of once loyal servants to the primes betrayed then, backstabbing them and leaving then to die at the servos of the Quintessons, with a deal between the backstabbers and the Quintessons. In the hopes of making things right, primrus reincarnates a number of the primes to put an end to it. However they all reincarnate at different times.

Whatever, it be, Onyx either is reincarnated as shockwave a warbuild with a genius brain module. Or in wanting to walk among the new generations of cybertronians, Onyx is able to take a part of himself, including a part of his spark to create an avatar, which is shockwave.

However, whether it be from the Council or other means Shockwave becomes corrupt, losing his emotions, or becoming cold-sparked. Onyx valued nature and life, his avatar is now the opposite, more in line with Quintus prime.

Mirconus prime is reincarnated way later, as B-127; who later takes on the name Goldbug, a cog-less Minicon. However, after the truth is revealed, the government that was in place falls, with two sides emerging; the Autobots and the Decepticons.

In an attempt to infiltrate the Autobots intelligence, Shockwave creates a clone of himself to be a sleeper agent, named Longarm.

Longarm acts logical, someone who sticks to the rules, and is a workaholic. Until, having to work in a group mission on potential Decepticon influence and activity on an organic planet, involving a bot called Goldbug. Who for some reason intrigues him, that their's something magnetic about the bot.

After an accident in which Longarm loses his memory, when first arriving on the planet, Longarm is more friendly, he laughs even.

Goldbug takes on the name Bumblebee, early on, and grows closer to Longarm. Longarm himself gains memories of Shockwave when he was younger, before becoming corrupt.

After, a number of events Longarm finds out he was the one that was leaking intell to the decepticons and that he is in fact a clone. Creating an existential crisis as Longarm finds himself stuck on whether he should go along with a plan that Shockwave has to poison the Autobots, or to try and risk going back to a life he so deeply wants.

Onyx acts as a little voice to Longarm to guide thos part of him to the right path. Which ends in Longarm finding and gaining Onyx mask, and becoming Longarm Prime. Becoming a half-god of ethical science and death. While Bumblebee gains the Chimera Stone when stopping Sentinel prime from attacking the once hidden minicon planet, becoming Goldfire prime.

However, in a last act to see his way, Shockwave steals Vector Sigma in a last ditch effort. He ends up shooting Goldfire, not offlining him, but making his spark immortal. Never to join the well of all-sparks. Never to join death.

Having to be planets apart from Longarm, as they can never be together, thanks to it.

Well, I had a lot of thoughts of how the headmaster episode would of happened as I first read missing perspective, wondering how the events would play out with longarm present. Seeing what ended up happening make sense yet a part of me wanted to know what ended up happening to Masterson.

Also I was interested on what would happen with the Elite Guard especially in the "To our Future" ending as I immediately thought that Ratchet would out longarm as being shockwave to all of the Elite Guard team or at least tell the truth to Ultra magnus in secret. Which would then end with the truth that the real spy was longarm not wasp coming out. The angst that would ensue would be delicious! As bee would come to the horror of finding out he framed someone innocent and that back in boot camp longarm wasn't a friend. Ooh how he would react to finding out longarm/shockwave was almost successful in killing him back in the obstacle course!!

Hi, read your fic; Missing perspective a while ago, and looking back at it you hadn't covered the headmaster episode. Since it technically happens before the events of Nature Calls did you decide to write out Masterson or it can be left that an event regarding Masterson happens in the aftermath?? Like in either "To our Future" or "One Solar Cycle at a Time" it can be left to us readers if Masterson pulled something similar to what happened in Canon?

Also, in either ending "To our Future" or "One Solar Cycle at a Time" how would you think the Elite Guard coming to Earth would play out???

Of all the TFA cast, big surprised you had big brain thoughts for the geek guy. I mean the sensible answer was that his episode was also the character episode for Bulkhead and would have broken the pace everything that happened to that point. Same reason why I pushed the second meltdown episode earlier. I really wanted to smack people dead with the yaoi paddle I made out of Soundwave's episode.

The funny answer is man had his gamer hands broken in Soundwave's Communist Revolution™ and was too busy watching super compilations and drinking Gamer Supps©®℗ to do anything of importance.

Also the guard did come to Earth in those endings they came they saw they went back home.

Ahhhhhh, I remember reading the fic; Missing perspective when I was exploring the rarepairs of transformers on ao3. This was before I got an ao3 account.

Yet, I can't help but think in the aftermath of the ending To our Future of the Elite Guard coming down and the shenanigans that would happen, since I feel that in reality (and what SHOULD have happened) is that Ultra magnus goes to Washington D.C. to establish diplomatic relations and brings Optimus along for needed help in that. Leaving Sentinel in charge of the rest of the team plus Jazz. And like bumblebee, bulkhead, and shockwave/longarm avoiding Sentinel as much as possible, even doing jobs that they hated to avoid him. Maybe even Ratchet since he had a brief interaction with him, and Prowl may have to be the one to mainly deal with Sentinel.

This would be something for the humans, since like in the afternoon or during the night before Magnus and prime leave for D.C. the three youngest of the group make plans and notifications to the humans they work with about doing extra work or assignments they even don't like to do. OR they talk to their human friends about dreading working with/ following orders from Sentinel, or wanting to avoid him as much as possible. I imagine bumblebee being the one to bring up Sentinel being their ex drill sangrant. At first I feel that Fanzone and the rest would take it as bumblebee being bumblebee, but as bulkhead and even longarm and ratchet talk more about how Sentinel was like, or that he is narcissistic and hates organics. Then, I believe the tone would change. I like to think about reporter or someone records it and it spreads all over the internet. Both because the three speak on how they met, and shenanigans that happened but also for what Optimus temporary replacement is like, and what Derioit is going to have to deal with during diplomatic talks.

Then again, it may happen in a matter of minutes if the Elite Guard comes to Earth the same way that in canon they did. Like while, Optimus, Ratchet, and Prowl talk to Ultra, that Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Longarm, fill in the humans, such as Fanzone, and the Mayor. Like the humans are wondering, One this ship that landed is another ship of their species, Second, who are the new Robots, especially the big chined one who is being disrespectful to them.

Third, What do you mean that the Big navy blue and white one is your LEADER???

And, the humans are both in awe and fear of Ultra magnus since the guy is the Leader of the Autobots who's wielding a hammer that can literally control the WEATHER! I think many on the internet and even news media talk on the parallels between the magnus hammer and Thor's hammer from mythology.
