All We Have (Part 7)
Optimus looks like he’s having fun…
Since a comic takes forever for me to do and takes time away from making content and commissions, I’ve decided to open donations! You don’t have to if you can’t, but it’ll be a big help for any support! Don’t have money? Sharing my content and comic are more than enough! Thank you everyone!

Yea really what is that thing??
thinking about a fic idea of Mirage constructing a human holoform to more easily blend in on missions and Noah developing a massive crush on his holoform, having a crisis about it and then realising that he’s in love with Mirage, holoform or no <:]
(also Mirage has been waiting for Noah to notice the whole time)
Is romance ever a motivator for cyberforming? I saw some characters listed who are often shipped with bots Noah×Mirage Tracks×Raoul Charlie×Bumblebee ect are any of them cannon to your au and if so dose it change anything about the process or cyberforming or integration?
Hi Anon!
My answer is yes, yes and yes again! Romantic interest can be one of the motivators for cyberformation. However, unfortunately, an Autobot cannot demonstrate this directly, even if a person reciprocates his interest. Other Cybertronians may consider his actions compromised, too personal and that he is not acting in the interests of protecting his precious ally and friend. Personal reasons should not stand above other reasons for this process, so most use the reason for the safety or usefulness of this or that person (Although there are nuances, each case is considered separately. No one is saying that this system has not been bypassed). You see, infatuation with both us humans and Cybertronians can be fleeting, and the process of cyberformation is not reversible, so in essence, the Cybertronian must be 100% that the feeling is reciprocated. I would say that this romantic interest can already emerge from a close friendship and connection between a human and a Cybertronian.
The senior Autobot officers (Prowl or Ultra Magnus in particular) have a strict position, if they suspect that cyberformation has questionable grounds, they will not give their permission. In their opinion, a person should become a part of Cybertronian society and bring something to it, be it intelligence, strength or other qualities. Optimus is more loyal in this regard, it is for this reason that he mainly gives permission (He simply knows that all Cybertronians are interested in their human friend becoming one of them, why should he refuse if the couple wants to be together? It's just that Prime usually asks both parties separately to make sure that the feelings are mutual).
This fact does not affect the process of Cyberform, but it does affect the subsequent stages. A Cybertronian who is romantically interested does not have the right to become a mentor to his ward. Another Cybertronian must become a mentor to the Cyberformed, so that the integration goes more smoothly and no one rushes things. In fact, a person must receive all the knowledge regarding the cultural context, communication, traditions, etc. during the adaptation process (including so that he knows what Amica Endura and Conjunx Endura are and the corresponding rituals). Only with this necessary knowledge for the former person, the couple can reunite later. This is done specifically so that there are no incidents, misunderstandings or culture shock. Well, and so that the Cyberformed is prepared for what to expect and how to properly respond to his lover.
And yes, in my AU there are such canon pairs, they include: – Optimus Prime x Cade Yeager – Chase x Charlie Burns – Mirage x Noah Diaz – Tracks x Raoul You may have your own view on the pairings, but these are the ones that I will probably mention periodically in my posts.
