TF MegaRatch

Thank you for your patience. We missed posting August's theme on time, but since themes don't expire, that just means there will now be a bonus theme.
August's theme is "heat," in honor of the boiling hot weather that many parts of the world experience at this time of year.

Whether "heat" means hot weather, high tempers, volcanoes, insufficiently cooled machinery, or something else entirely, the choice for how Megatron and Ratchet navigate those challenges is up to you.

This is a low-stress, low-commitment prompt system.

Rules

• Please follow usual tagging & posting requirements.
• Please include the tag for the prompt: "monthly theme: heat"
• Interpret the theme however you want; follow your creativity wherever it takes you.

Please note:
There is no minimum for the fill in terms of length or complexity.

Any fanwork type is welcome. If we don't have a tag for your type, please PM the mod to have it added.

There is no time limit. While a new theme will be posted every month, the old themes don't expire and there are no deadlines. Fill the theme prompt whenever you'd like.

There is no fill limit. Fill the prompt once or as many times as you want.

You're also welcome to bat ideas around in the brainstorming post for this or any other prompt at any time. That space is open for the community to use.

Have fun!
