Strategy and warfare are also common themes. They are both military - minded characters. Fanfictions might depict them planning battles, devising new combat techniques, or outwitting the Autobots. Also, the theme of redemption can sometimes be found. Maybe one of them has a change of heart about the Decepticon's violent ways and tries to steer the group in a different direction, while the other has to decide whether to follow or oppose. This can create a lot of interesting character - driven drama.
The exploration of their personalities is a big theme. Shockwave's cold, calculating nature and Megatron's more passionate and often tyrannical side can be contrasted and developed in stories. There are also stories that focus on their origins, how they became who they are. This can include their experiences in the early days of Cybertron, what led them to join the Decepticons, and how their pasts shape their present actions and relationships with each other.
There are indeed. Some fanfictions might center around their technological aspects. Maybe they compete in creating the most advanced weapon or technology for the Decepticons. This kind of story showcases their intelligence and skills rather than any romantic or MPreg - related content. It gives a different perspective on their characters and their roles within the Transformers universe.
One common theme is power dynamics. Megatron is a powerful being, and when paired with a human, the contrast in power is striking. Another theme is the idea of understanding across species. Since they are so different, the fanfictions often explore how they can begin to understand each other.
Power dynamics is a common theme. Megatron is the powerful leader and Starscream is often vying for power, which creates an interesting relationship in the fanfictions. There's also loyalty and betrayal, as Starscream has a history of trying to overthrow Megatron in the original lore.
The theme of unexpected alliances also pops up frequently. Given their history as enemies, the idea of them coming together for a common goal is a popular one. It creates a lot of drama and interesting character development as they have to learn to trust each other despite their differences.
Another common theme is power dynamics. Megatron is the leader, and Soundwave is his subordinate, but in some fanfictions, they have a more equal relationship in certain aspects, like when it comes to strategic planning. Their different abilities and how they use them in relation to each other also play into this theme.
One common theme is redemption. Megatron has a long history of being a villain, and in many fanfictions, Bumblebee becomes the catalyst for his possible redemption. For example, in stories where they are stranded together, Bumblebee's positive attitude might start to make Megatron question his actions.
Power is a common theme. Female Megatron is often depicted as seeking power, whether it's over other Transformers or in a more general sense. Another theme is identity. Since she's a different take on the traditional Megatron, the fanfiction often explores who she is and how she differs.
In these types of fanfiction, a common theme might be the adaptation to unexpected situations. The concept of mechpreg in the world of Transformers is quite out of the ordinary. So, the characters, especially those in a Yaoi relationship with Shockwave, might have to adapt to this new state. There could also be themes of love and loyalty, as they face challenges together, whether it's from other Transformers or just the difficulties that come with their unique situation.
One common theme is loyalty. Since they are both Decepticons, their loyalty to each other and to the cause is often explored. Another theme is power. They are both powerful characters, and how they use or abuse their power in relation to each other is a popular topic. For example, in some fanfictions, they might compete for power within the Decepticon ranks while still maintaining a certain bond.
There's also the theme of discovery. Both characters learn new things about themselves and each other. Bumblebee might discover a more complex side to Shockwave, and Shockwave might learn about the power of emotions and friendship from Bumblebee. This exploration of self - discovery and mutual understanding makes for some very engaging fanfiction stories.
