Y'all know that one Mastermind Bulkhead toy with the PTRD-esque biiiiig rifle? Y'all know how I've argued that Bulkhead should have been artillery just based on the way he can be quite calculating and sneaky in combat? Y'all know how I need those robots to, like. Kiss?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaah.

This was originally a part of Three Movements in C minor but I couldn't really figure out how to make it work in the context of that fic. I'm archiving it as a potential thing to build a second sonata off of, but mostly I'm trying to get in the habit of posting my WIPs if I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them in the future.

*slams back coffee* y'know sometimes you're writing a thing. And that thing keeps spawning other things. And you can't get into those things in the other thing. So you gotta make them their own thing.

This took me like a week to write and it's still the fastest a fic has come together for me in a looooooong while. I am truly the embodiment of that one Douglas Addams quote about saying something very funny two weeks later.

To the complete lack of surprise of everyone, I have a bunch of War Era WIPs lying around, the majority of them just, like, batshit Wrecker content? Between ITB chapters I've been whittling away at them, and I'll be trying to post any of them that really work as standalones :D

Chapter 1: Sparks and Energon
Chapter 2: Frame development
Chapter 3: Primary systems: Energy production and spark containment
Chapter 4: Secondary systems: protoform and power transfer

Chapter 4 is now available!

This will be a series of kinda-sorta in-universe documentation covering Cybertronian biomechanics and physiology, starting from what sparks are made of all the way up to hardware and software structure and upgrading.

It's the first of my meta posts that has been formatted into academic style as opposed to the more free-form meta things I post on here, and my first attempt at branching out into "legitimate" non-narrative fandom writing, like I've wanted to for a while. Huge thanks to my friends RH, Mezzo and Snazz for getting me this far, and look forward to more in the future.

The first citizens of Cybertron emerge from the Well of Allsparks and each of the Thirteen take a number of them under their wing. Most of the population is nomadic, and congregates around the Primes for safety and guidance. The War of the Thirteen breaks out, and Solus Prime, Megatronus and Liege Maximo die. The rest of the Thirteen drift into conflict with each other, and eventually leave Cybertron or retreat into the Realm of the Primes. The population begans settling down, and forms religious sects based on the teaching of the Thirteen, becoming the original form of Primal polytheism, the Thirteen Sects.

The growing population concentrates into city-states with high amount of travel and traffic. The name "Cybertron" is used, but there's no official conditions of citizenship, only sect membership which itself is also voluntary. This eventually lead to the development of a civil government and the beginning of the Golden Age.

The outworld colonies of Cybertron are attacked by Quintessons and contact to them is lost. The Council of Thirteen, highest body of civil government, begins plans to create a Cybertronian defence force but the Quintesson forces reach Cybertron before they can gain full backing from the sects. Sentinel Prime appointed as high general of Cybertron, and the Council of Thirteen becomes the High Council of Cybertron to direct the war effort. Cybertronian identity emerges, and Primal Church is established as an agreement between sect authorities to validate Sentinel’s authority. The Cybertronian Armed Forces, under Sentinel Prime's command, win their first strategic battles agains the Quintessons.

The Quintesson assaults on Cybertron start to taper off as more of the society is brought under the High Council's control, and mecha are moved into jobs better serving their alt-form function. The increased productivity and higher optimisation of labour led to a surplus of resources that allowed the Cybertronian Armed Forces to gain decisive victory and force a Quintesson retreat from Cybertron. After the official end of the war, the Council began enacting restructuring measures to aid with rebuilding, solidifying new social strata. The former religious sects that had been unified during the war began causing conflict within the Primal Church. In response, the High Council creates the guild system, and uses it to reinforce alt-form based social structures.

At the height of the functionist movement, Megatron of Kaon emerges, joins with Orion Pax to found the Decepticon movement. The bombings of Stanix and Six Lasers over Cybertron occur. The council torpedoes the reform suggestions and drives a wedge between Megatron and Orion Pax after Sentinel’s disappearance. War breaks out in Decepticon controlled regions, classified as an insurgence/terrorism elsewhere. Torus states start seeing border fights and infiltration in Praxus and Tarn. Eventually this leads to open warfare between the Decepticons and the Autobots, led by Orion Pax, now Optimus Prime.

Primal polytheism/the Thirteen Sects: the pre-Age of Reconstruction faith, split into sects based on the teachings of the first generation of mecha, who were followers of the Thirteen created by Primus. Codified after the War of the Primes, the faith emphasised a plurality of thought. The oldest surviving account of the war exists in "the tragedy of Prima and Megatronus", which was considered a parable warning the sects against pursuing only their own agendas without consideration for the other sects principles and needs. Sect membership guaranteed access to vocational education, but membership was considered elective, and it was common to change from one sect to another and seek out apprenticeships in professions outside of your own sect.

The Primal church: the form of Primal faith codified during the Quintesson War that substitutes a plurality of sects for centralised worship of Primus, with the War of the Primes being a foundational myth. The Primal Faith casts Megatronus as "The Fallen", in an adversarial role to Prima, and creates a hierarchy among the Thirteen based on a perceived reverence towards Primus. The power previously held by the sect Primes was consolidated by the High Council of Cybertron, and redistributed to guild leaders based on the labour divisions of the sects, with a singular Prime appointed by the High Council.

As the tile of Prime and the religious role of Prime are considered two different things, possession of the Matrix of Leadership is not considered a prerequisite to being named Prime by the High Council. Originally, the Matrix was held by Vector Prime, who relinquished it to Optimus Prime as he departed Cybertron. Later, Optimus Prime would take the Matrix with him to the core of Cybertron, intending it to be passed onto the first mech capable of making the pilgrimage, and becoming the first mortal Prime. At the end of the Great War, the Matrix was briefly held again by Optimus Prime, before being passed onto Rodimus Prime at the beginning of the Age of Reconciliation.

Megatron of Kaon, the leader of the Decepticons during the Great War and the High Protector of Cybertron during the Age of Reconciliation, is widely considered to have been a candidate for the title of Prime before undergoing Dark Energon contagion at the end of the war.

There's a trope mashup game on Tumblr where you get sent a ship and two numbers and gotta mix it up into a pitch for a fanfic, and [personal profile] redthedragon gave me 97: “Time travel” and 69 (nice): “flirting under fire” for Bulkhead/Wheeljack; I promptly interpreted "flirting under fire" to mean "firefights as an excuse to show off to stoke your intended's competence kink" and then went off writing my merry yarn.

So I don’t know, and frankly don’t want know, the mechanics behind how the time travel in this story would work –- just assume it’s basically magic and does exactly what I want and if you wanna figure out for yourself why it does that, you’re free to do so. The story starts with the Wreckers trying to bring down a Decepticon WMD lab, and Wheeljack accidentally activating a machine that seemingly disintegrates him, but actually slingshots him forward way into the far future where the war is almost over, where he meets back up with his whole team, who reassure him that they have a plan to undo this mess, and put him right back in the timeline where he belongs.

Cut for length and to maintain dramatic tension. )

So, about eight months back I was complaining about the lack of Bulkjack longfic in the world, because after watching Prime, the Wreckers were the only thing I cared about, and I was left howling into an empty void about how much I love them, goddammit!!!

So I wrote fic about it. As you do.

Enjoy!
