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.
Another theme is the power of unlikely friendships. Bumblebee and Megatron are on opposite sides in the original series. But in fanfiction, their relationship can show that even the most unlikely pairs can form a bond. This can be seen in stories where they team up against a common, greater threat.
One popular 'Transformers Prime Bumblebee x Megatron' fanfiction is 'The Unlikely Bond'. It explores a scenario where Bumblebee and Megatron are forced to work together during a crisis on Cybertron. The story delves into their complex relationship, with Bumblebee's determination to see the good in Megatron and Megatron's internal struggle between his old ways and a new path.
Another theme is the power of forgiveness. Bumblebee, despite all the harm Megatron has caused, may choose to forgive him. This is often explored in a very emotional and in - depth way in the fanfictions. It shows that even in a world of war and conflict, forgiveness can be a powerful force.
One common theme is redemption. Megatron trying to make up for all the bad things he has done. Another theme could be the power of friendship or unexpected alliances. For instance, he might form an alliance with an Autobot he once hated.
Fanfiction about them can explore different universes and scenarios. For example, what if they were raised together? How would their relationship be different? It gives fans a chance to play with the established lore and create new and exciting stories that the official Transformers storylines may not explore. It also allows for deeper exploration of their motives and personalities.
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 challenge is character consistency. Megatron is typically a ruthless villain, so making his relationship with Arcee believable while still maintaining his core character traits can be difficult. For example, he can't suddenly become a completely good character just because he has feelings for her.
Perhaps there could be a story where an ancient Cybertronian threat resurfaces. Megatron and Soundwave must team up with some unlikely allies, like a group of Autobots who also realize the severity of the situation. Throughout the story, Megatron and Soundwave would have to navigate their relationship with these former enemies while also dealing with the new threat. Their different personalities and motives would add depth to the story as they try to protect Cybertron together.
