r/TransformersOne

​

I am writing a Transformers One AU where the Autobots are already on Earth, hiding in their vehicle forms. The story is set in 2008, a few months before the financial crisis of the Great Recession.The story begins with the first human protagonist, Liam Benjamin Connor, who moves to Arizona.

He settles in Sedona to live with his maternal uncle, Nicolas Davis, a mechanic.Liam is a brave, kind, and imaginative boy. He has a calm nature and a clear sense of right and wrong, guided by the values of justice and fairness he learned from his family. Loyal and protective, he never hesitates to help those in need, showing a caring side and a sincere hope that the world can improve.

He is usually polite and considerate, always mindful of other people’s feelings. Even when he gets upset, he tries to control himself so he will not hurt anyone, not even strangers. Still, Liam can be stubborn and strong-willed, sometimes acting on impulse without thinking about the consequences.The death of his father changed the way he saw the world. His innocence faded, and his outlook became more serious and somewhat sad.

Yet that pain also made him more compassionate and better able to understand the struggles of others.Later, his mother, a major in the Air Force assigned to NASA, could not take care of him directly and sent him to live with his uncle in Arizona.

Liam tried to face the change with optimism, but without making new friends at school, he began to feel increasingly alone. That was until he met Optimus Prime.

I imagine a mix of his IDW, FOC, and G1 (Cartoon and Marvel Comic). Would he be:

1. A Miner?
2. Part of the High Guard?
3. An enforcer and overseer similar to Darkwing?
4. Does not exist till Earth

How would the entire movie change based on his existence. All comments are welcome.
