I love trying to explain my Aligned Hollow Knight AU b/c it always turns into an astounding amount of bullshit in an unbelievably short time.

Like it starts out straightforward enough -- Primus is the Pale King, Unicron is the Radiance. (The Primes are Godseekers or whatever. They're not relevant.)

Next, Optimus is Ghost and Megatron is Hollow Knight. But wait, Megatron is also kind of... Vessel-like, which would make Optimus Hornet? But, if Megatron is Ghost, then Optimus is basically a Dreamer?

And the Autobots are basically the Kingdom of Hallownest, which makes Optimus the Pale King? Which makes Megatron the Radiance, which works better than I like admitting. And if Optimus is the Pale King, then his command staff are The Five Great Knights? Would that make the Wreckers the Mantis tribe? Except Impactor is basically a Reverse Traitor Lord and--

Ow.

Ow, ow, ow, my head.
