Summary
It turns out that being wired into giant war machines doesn’t play nice with human brains. The Earth Mechanical Defense Force, or EMDF, learned that the hard way when their pilots started going… neurotic, let’s say, after a few missions.
The obvious solution to that problem was to simply wire the pilot into their mecha permanently, that way their mind wasn’t being strained by the constant in and out. Unfortunately that strategy backfired and the pilots started going neurotic much, much faster, and this time they were giant and made of metal and much harder to put down.
So, the obvious next step would be to pull the plug on that idea and go back to the drawing board, right? No, that’s ridiculous, the next step was obviously to simply…
Make the mecha forget they’d ever been human in the first place.
Somewhere along the line someone should have pulled the plug, but they’d already invested so much into the project, and you know what they say about sunk cost fallacy.

Summary
Humans don't exist. Or at least not anymore. Every sane troll knows that.
Except Blinky. But nobody listens to his conspiracies anyways.
Their new Trollhunter is rather strange though...In an alternate universe where, back during the war between humans and trolls, humans were almost completely wiped out, Jim is still chosen as the first human Trollhunter. Except this time nobody knows it, and he fully intends to keep it that way for as long as he can. But with Gumm-Gumm activity on the rise, and the threat of Gunmar’s return on the horizon, this is going to be a lot harder than he first thought, even with the help of his friends.

Jazz learns how to be Cybertronian
- - - -
“But he’s weird.” Wheeljack said. Jazz didn’t know if he should be affronted or not. “What even are these things?”
A digit prodded at some protrusion that stuck out of Jazz’s side near the front. “Hey, ease up.” Jazz said, trying not to get defensive. “What did you even touch?”
“No clue!” Wheeljack said. “It’s small. One side is rounded while the other is flat with a reflective surface. Oh! You moved it. Aw, that’s adorable!”
“Wait.” He said after a moment, the description was familiar. “You said reflective surface? As in… are you saying I have door mirrors?”
