Blast Off x Onslaught

Blast Off x Onslaught is the slash ship between Blast Off and Onslaught from the Transformers fandom.

Canon
The two of them fought alongside one another for a long time. Until Blast Off started growing secretly infatuated with his commander, Onslaught. Despite the fact that Blast Off usually jokes about wanting to kill Onslaught and taking over his position, he is very loyal to Onslaught. Onslaught appreciates Blast Off's work. But at first he is oblivious to Blast Off's feelings for him since he is too busy with his cause.

After the Combaticons find themselves in a coma and enemies of Starscream, Starscream hires a mnemosurgeon named Airachnid to tamper with their memories so that they can forget they hate him. This links their minds and creates false memories for them. Starscream picks Blast Off and hopes to sway him into making a deal. To see what Blast Off might want so they can influence him, Airachnid uses his memories to construct his perfect life. And Blast Off dreams he and Onslaught are a couple, sharing an apartment together and a bed. Caught, Blast Off is quite embarrassed that Starscream saw his fantasy. Starscream tells him that he can make his fantasy happen, tampering with Onslaught. Blast Off strongly refuses, but Starscream says that if they don't tamper with their memories at all, they might remain comatose or locked up in prison forever.

Blast Off meditates about the fact that if they manage to escape, Onslaught's hatred for the Autobots will mean that one day he will go too far and get killed. This has been a concern of Blast Off and he really doesn't want that to happen, since he knows Onslaught is too fixated on vengeance. Starscream tells him that they don't have to force Onslaught to love him, and that they will only make him notice Blast Off's feelings, so they decide to do that. Blast Off wakes up from the coma first and Onslaught wakes up after and catches him looking at him. Then, he realizes that Blast Off has been looking at him that way for a long time, and it turns out that Onslaught also likes it. So he accepts Blast Off's love and holds his hand, although Blast Off doesn't let Starscream see that intimate moment of theirs, so it remains private.

The two of them become close after Onslaught calms down and loses his drive for revenge. They end up moving to an apartment together and are said to have planned a formal date. But Blast Off is still frustrated that he has to hide the deleted memories from the rest of the Combaticons that keep nagging him about them.
