TFProject: Five Nights at Fredicons

Description

As for the first idea I had about Freddy's, I started pondering an idea where the animatronics were much more than meets the eye.

They're Predacons in Disguise!

A more lighthearted take on the concept centers on Blue and G, who recently took jobs at a local pizza place, but started to notice strange things happening throughout the day. It became more personal when Blue noticed his little sibs acting extremely bizarre forcing the kids and the Autobots to perform a steak out one night.

The original idea had the Predacons trying to harvest Energon from the hyperactive energy of children through some form of hypnosis via Mindwipe.

When discussing this idea with a couple of friends, a work friend suggested the idea of the Predacons instead harvesting Energon from a massive mine they discovered underneath the restaurant.  

Either way, the Predacons while in animatronic mode began to scare away security workers to prevent them from getting caught, generating the idea the store was haunted.

I just randomly started coming up with names that matched their Freddy's counterpart like Weirdwolf for Foxy or Birdbrain for Chica. Bodywise, I wound up using Wildfly and Tasmania Kid as a basis tho'.

I started playing with more original "in-show" animatronics like the pig guy, though he's more of a reference to Bloaty's Pizza Hog from Invader Zim. His body is inspired from Snarler, Razorbeast and the King Piggy from Angry Birds, and as for a name, I thought of calling him "Pig Iron" instead.

Mindwipe I struggled with. 

His design is lifted from his Animated counterpart almost wholesale, which wasn't entirely my intent. His transformation scheme is meant to be patterned after RiD Megatron/Galvatron's Bat Mode. I suppose he doesn't really HAVE to transform into Robot Mode, but still. 

When I said I had planned for one of the Predacons to legitmately enjoy entertaining kids, it was suggested that a female Predacon assume that role, but I couldn't think of anyone appropriate. (I was thinking of Weirdwolf/Tasmania Kid being the one who liked it, somewhat reflecting Foxy's retired status).

Once Bluestreak, Jazz and Blaster round up the all the Preds, it's soon revealed that there's one unaccounted for... but the confused Predacons swear there were only four of them assigned this mission...

Reading the 'legitimately enjoy entertaining kids' part makes me say that all of these Fredicons, much like the animatronics of Freddy's, do love their jobs as entertainers and likely don't want to harvest Energon or destroy Earth at all over their performing work is too much of a blast to quit by. :aww:

I just love the idea that the animatronics aren't evil to begin with, so yeah...the Fredicons can have a, how should I put this, golden heart for making children happy for they aren't entirely like Predacons. :nod:
