Notes:

Greetings! My name is Stonecrusher and I'd like to welcome you to this, the Autobot Academy series. This started out as a webcomic on TFW2005, and I decided to test the waters on how well this archive can contain such a medium after finding a BNHA Chatfic that used multiple images and one presented as Bakugou's Diary. (Apologies for not providing links.) Hopefully you people are as accepting as the people on TFW2005 were...

Chapter Text

How does a normal
everyday
piece of miner scrap
with no future
dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot
on a ice planet
by providence impoverished in squalor
grow up to be a villain with many followers?

the ten dollar mine fodder without a father
got a lot farther
by working a lot harder
by being a lot smarter
by being a self-starter
by year 314, he had his written charter

and so he made clear his life as he worked away
cross the stellar waves, anonymous, keeping his guard up
inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
where he wouldn't have to dig up crystals to fill his cart up

Where bad blizzard and rain
and devastation reigns
and people see their future drip-dripping down the drain
He put a pencil to his temple
connected it to his brain
he wrote his first refrain
a testament to all their pain

Well the word got around
they said "this kid is insane, man!"
Company sent an agent
to tell him to shut his can
"Put down your empty threats, place upon us no blame
Cuz the world'll never know your name. What was it again?"

D16's my assigned one
But you can call me Megatron
And you might just think you've won
But just you wait, just you wait~

The mine exploded, taking all the energon with it
Megsy couldn’t let others make him submit
His nuked corpse got carted off by some jet chick

As if surviving wasn’t weird enough, he healed so damn quick

Getting his body fixed only to have to run and hide
Left him with nothing but ruined pride, something new inside
A voice saying, "Megsy, you gotta fight for yourself"
Went down to the arena, fought every loser on the shelf

There would've been nothing left to do for someone less astute
He would've been dead, yeah that's the truth
without an ounce of retribution
Started running, on his feet, away from his former land lord
Getting caught by his icy grip was something he cannot afford!

Scanning for every advantage he could get his hands on
Planning for the future, a new level to land on
Elita gave the means to make his stand
Accidentally making him a brand new man!

Oh mighty Lord Megatron
Ain't nobody controlling you
You're spiralling now
and we're all along for the
RIIIIIIII~IIIIIIDE!

Oh Mighty Lord Megatron!
When the future records speak of you
Will they know what you overcame?
The anger and the shame~

The world will never be same, oh

Even in the modern day, some fools may think they got 'im
(Just you wait)
A brilliant and precious soul, eroded and rotten
(Just you wait)
A cause so just and right, it had to be forgotten

You losers just might think you've won
But JUST YOU WAAAAAAAAAAAAIT!
("What did he say his name was?")
OH MIGHTY LORD MEGATRON!

"Fang Wolf to Wing. Your suspicions are correct. There is primordial activity on Cybertron. I found several of the imps earlier and torn them to shreds. No idea how many the bastard still had. He met his end at the hands of two visiting Autobot Academy Cadets. I have reason to suspect one of them is another clone offshoot of Silvertongue, possibly an earlier one from Volcity. No, Wing, I understand. Even if he were an earlier branch, there's no telling just how much potential he has wasted. I won't inform Thunderhowl of this happenstance if the two meet, it'll be by fate alone."  Page 20.png

["Long Hope Philia" by Masaki Suda]

Notes:

Now that we're at the end of this season, I'd like to thank you all again. When I started this project, admittedly, the initial plan was not as elaborate as it ended up being. My initial co-author Megatronski had only a few loose events planned out, including the events that would one day become the Siege of Acadeimos as a Season 1 Finale. The fact that I was able to take such a basic framework and expand on it as much as I had while wrapping up several plotlines in the process is no doubt the result of the efforts of everyone who I worked with to make such a thing reality. And the fact that all of you stuck around for it, or at least binged it to this point, is also commendable. I've had my own periods of time where I've doubted the effort I've put into this would've been worth it, but I kept going in spite of this. But here we are now, at the end of a metaphorical "Year 1" which took about four years to create (webcomic time, amirite?) and now I'm presented with an opportunity to rest.

So, what's next? Well, dear reader, that's a good question.

During production of Season 2, I was told by a dear friend that certain aspects of the comic were holding me back, so I decided to lighten my burden by sidelining a few issues (and in the case of one, scavenging it for plotlines that ended up in the Siege series) and pushing forward with more relevant plotlines. During the time I'll be taking a break, I will sporadically post at least two of these issues, giving a view of what might've been. Possibly as a side story.

Until then, see y'all around.
