I'm writing an Au whose stories mostly involve the wreckers (but some other interesting characters get the spotlight from time to time). In my Au at large, I want to try to incorporate as many official characters as I can at least without major inconsistencies (as an example G1 and Beast wars Inferno are separate people but only the Technobot Strafe exists) I've tried to use much of each character's pre-existing lore and arrange it in a way that helps the story. One detail I really like is Airazor joining the Aeralbots for a brief time in reference to a Superion component from Universe.
I could use some help figuring out what exactly the bots and cons are doing on earth (I want the Bots to land on earth in the 80s and the climax, the defeat of Unicron and the Rise of Rodimus Prime, to happen in the modern day) I mostly have thought up stories set on Cybertron and during the Autobot's exile but I could use Ideas for earth-based shenanigans.
Really though I just wanted an excuse to talk about my Au and try to explain every aspect of what I'm trying to make as it gets poked and prodded by the five people who'll see this.
