insecuriosityI’ve always been interested in creatures and animals, especially in fiction. I always wanted to read about people taming dragons, living among the wolves, being hunted by a predator.
In Transformers, there are virtually no animals to play with in this sense. Insecticons have varying levels of intelligence and sentience, as well as beastformers and Dinobots.
There’s not really a circle of life, or a food chain. All mechanical beings on Cybertron are sustained by energon, and that is it. Period!
So what if there were more differences between different altmodes ? Different levels of sentience, different diets and habitats…
What if Seekers were predators, hunting in trines and flocking together in huge groups? What if Grounders were their prey, and lived buried or protected in odd hive-like cities?
Minibots would have their own groups - less viable as prey to the seekers. The location of grounder cities would dictate their alt-mode and features, like how Kaon has the thickest plating , and Polyhex the most camouflaged paintjobs.
In this world, the different cities have only been in contact for a few hundred vorns, and things are not equal. A miner living in the crowded and crumbling hivecity of Kaon decides to make a stand.
To begin with, he builds a reputation as a fierce warrior. And as a finishing touch ? He tames himself a wild Seeker!
