💙ᴏʀɪᴏɴ ᴘᴀx💙

☆ I love this big hunk of junk to a V E R Y normal amount…

☆ 🗣️SWIIIIIITCCHHHHH🗣️ (probs 50/50 or something along those lines)‼️‼️‼️

☆ There is so so so SO much freaking Switch energy radiating from this red and blue bot; it’s genuinely crazy.

☆ He just gives off Switch vibes…I have a feeling /ref.

☆ If you really want to drive Orion up the walls, across the floor and around all of Iacon…anticipation and light touches/pokes are most DEFINITELY the way to go.

☆ I feel like he’s more used to roughhousing and firm touch cuz him and D-16 just play fight a WHOOOOLE BUNCH 🤺!!!

☆ Sooooo when someone pokes him- for example if Bee wanted to get his attention and poked him in the side…Orion would just die right then and there.

☆ SUUUUPER JUMPY OML 😭🤚🏾?!

☆ Literally folds like a broken lawn-chair when poked and legit always gets made fun for it (💕lovingly ofc💕).

☆ His laugh is kinda breathy and low I can imagine <3.

☆ But if you get him in a sweet spot his laugh is just literally an energon mine full of wheezes and loud cackles 👏🏾🙂‍↕️.

☆ ALSO GASPS AND HICCUPS AND SQUEAKS AND RAAAAHHHH HE’S SUCH A CUTIE PATOOTIE PIE ☹️💖💘💝💕.

☆ Literally keyboard smashes through laughter when he’s getting tickled— the noises he makes are so freaking random Dee’s had to stop in the middle of tickling him to just laugh along with him (uughgghfh I’m so ill I cannot with these two…) .

☆ Bro’s laugh is the definition of ✨contagious✨.

☆ I feel like Orion’s worst spots are his pedes, underarms and ribs (where are ribs on a transformer idk uhhhmmnhhnm..) for sure.

☆ A pretty mouthy and cheeky Lee tbh; digs his own grave 99.9% of the time 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️.

☆ His signature catchphrase is: “W-Wahahait cahan’t w-we tahahalk ahabout thihihis fihirst…?” 

☆ 👏🏾IS👏🏾SO👏🏾SASSY👏🏾

☆ Tickled into apologizing literally every single solar cycle (idk what that is in Earth years uuhhmmm have mercy on me old Transformer fans 🙇🏾‍♀️).

☆ Being sassy? Tickles. Being reckless?? Tickles. Being a dumbaft in general??? Tickle tickle tickles and more tickles.

☆ HONEST TO PRIMUS HATES AND LOVES THE RIB COUNTING GAME; will literally beg and plead if anybot so much as hints on doing it to him. 

☆ 🫢He🫶🏾will⛓️scream🥀and😔shout💔and⛓️‍💥let🎭it🌧️all🌚out🌝

☆ I headcanon Orion is sliiiiiightly older than Dee (like…barely a couple nanoseconds idk) and anytime he has some rat aft awful idea he’s always like “Didn’t Sentinel say to always respect your elders 😌~?”

☆ And Dee will just look at him in genuine confusion like “🤨..Bro he never said anything like that tf is you on—?” (Cuz y’all already KNOW D-16 knows actually EVERYTHING Sentinel has said in his speeches cuz he’s just a fanboy like that eheheh).

☆ And Orion just laughs back like, “Oho, you didn’t hear? Yeah, he just wants sparklings like yourself to listen and take advice from cool beautiful bots such as I 😙~!” 

☆ And literally without a thought, D-16 just rolls his optics and goes back to what he’s doing, saying: “I didn’t know older brothers came in small-sized 🤔.” 

☆ Is teased about his height every. single. nanoklik.

☆ Once, Dee just randomly picked up Orion, slung him over his shoulders and tickled the living DAYLIGHTS out of him and just yapped about how short he was <3!!

☆ Does little pedes kickies and pedes stomps when he’s getting tickled <33!!

☆ I HC that him and Dee cuddle sometimes (I see them as brothers just fyi 👍🏾) and D-16 is usually the big spoon like…a good 50% of the time and anytime he is he just sneeeeeaaaakily slips his digits near Orion’s chassis and the poor bot loses his freaking mind.

☆ Cannot handle tickles from behind…it will legit leave him in shambles 🫣.

☆ IS SO DAMN ANNOYING WHEN HE’S IN A LEE MOOD OH MY FREAKINGGGGG GOD.

☆ Will pester anything and anyone.

☆ Back to his jumpiness, though…when he’s in a Lee mood..it’s…like, TEN TIMES WORSE.

☆ D-16 could literally touch his sides to move him so he could like idk scoot by to get something and Orion just goes “🐇.”

☆ Is the prime (wink wink nudge nudge) example of “Yeah, I’m gonna say I hate getting tickled or I don’t like it but don’t stop...”

☆ LOVES 🤺TICKLE🤺FIGHTS🤺 AND 🏃🏾‍♀️TICKLE🏃🏾‍♀️CHASES🏃🏾‍♀️ RAUHGHGHD !!!!!

☆ Can’t take what he dishes out but let’s be so fr we all knew that already 😗🫶🏾.

☆ Got a lot of cheer up tickles from Dee I feel like since yk Orion does not like his mining life at all. He hates having to be on protocol and hates being seen like he’s less just because he doesn’t have a cog so at the end of the day he’s just come to the conclusion that maybe mining is all he’s good for…

☆ And D-16 just goes “Nu-uh ☝🏾🙂‍↔️” and w r e c k s his aft (with a bonus spark to spark)

☆ Okay okaY THIS GOT ANGSTY REALLY QUICK UHHHH WOOPS…

☆ Says “IHIHI’M NOHOT TIHICKLISH!!!” literally as your tickling him and he’s laughing his spark out (I hate him sm he’s such a freaking loser I hope he dies a second death).

☆ Hates it when some bots (those some bots mostly being Elita) mention how easy it is to knock him down a peg or how he can’t take what he dishes out…his faceplate will literally BURN AUGH.

☆ Is sososososo giggly after tickles 🫠💘…

☆ LER ORION TIME YAYAYAYAY 🕺🏾💕✨‼️

☆ Yk when you hit a good spot when tickling someone (somebot in this case ig) and they just laugh silently jgjfjjrkd??? Well, when that happens, this dummy says dumb stuff like “Jackpot~!” or “Bullsoptic~!” or “Gotcha~!” or HRHGRGFH YOU GET THE POINTTTTT.

☆ The type to stuff his servos under his victims— uhhh I mean friend’s arms and bitch and complain about how they’ve trapped his hands with their 'mucho muscles and superb strength'. 

☆ “I dunno why you keep squirming…you’re literally not going anywhere. I hope you do realize I could keep this up for seeeveral solar cycles, right~?”

☆ Is 'The Word’s' number one fan when being a Ler.

☆ Uses it CONSTANTLY when teasing and tickling somebot and uses it even MORE if he knows said bot can’t handle hearing it (that said bot being Dee…).

☆ Lots of “D'aww’s” and “Aww’s” and “N'aww’s”; literally just a handfull of some of his catchphrases bro.

☆ Loves burying his faceplate into bot’s neck wires 💞EEEEEE💞 just for teases and taunts eheehee.

☆ 👑THE RASPBERRY AND NIBBLING KING👑

☆ He would be able to dish out like millions upon MILLIONS of raspberries and nibbles if he really felt like it…it’s insane…HE’S insane…

☆ Considers himself to be a 101% Ler…buuuut we all know that’s false af 🤝🏾🤝🏾🤝🏾.

☆ Another HC of mine but one of D-16 and Orion’s forms of affection is gentle forehead bumps/bonks 🫶🏾. Just a lil silly thing the two do sometimes and Orion does it ALLLLL the time when tickling Dee.

☆ Legit loooooves tazing. Someone needs to stop this man 😭🤚🏾…he has a genuine problem and doesn’t understand how freaking EVIL tazing is (YES I AM TALKING FROM EXPERIENCE).

☆ Sometimes him and Dee have different mining shifts throughout the day and so when they do, Dee always makes sure to say 'hi' when they’re passing by each other like the sweet bot that he is right???

☆ But Orion, instead of giving a normal response he just gives his bestie the smuggest grin ever and either wiggles his digits at him, feigning a 'wave' or he just straight up pokes him in the back plate and the sides 😭😭😭.

☆ Brought out the 'Tickle Monster’ persona when meeting Bee REAAAAAL quick.

☆ Comes up with the meanest of nicknames such as 'gigglebot' or uhhhh yeah no that’s all I got but you catch my drift.

☆ IS. SO. COCKY. IT’S SICKENINGGGGG.

☆ Yaps on and on and ON about how you could honestly stop him if you really wanted him to. 

☆ Gives 🫂hugs and cuddles🥰 as aftercare or if anything he’ll give a small fistbump 🤜🏾💕🤛🏾.

☆ Will play fight to pin his Lee down; whatever it takes. 

☆ SOSOSOSOSO PLAYFUL.

☆ Loves just randomly picking tickle games to torture— uhhh I mean…play with with his friends 😉👍🏾! For example he’d be like “Okay…uh, truth or dare: you tell me your favorite spot to get tickled or I tickle you 😇!” 

☆ “But I’m not doing anything/I’m barely touching you~!” 

☆ Talks about tickling as if it’s the most normal thing in the world. 

☆ He’ll be like: “Oh, yeah! That really tickled me pink…” cue him looking over at you to see you a 

☆ Will blatantly just ask someone if he could tickle them if he’s in a bad enough Ler mood.

☆ Is the type that could yap for days about how cute a laugh is (he does it with Elita 24/7…pray for him guys he will get a fist to his faceplate one of these days…).

🩶ᴅ-16🩶

♢ 🥹AIUHGGFHKKIUUYGAAAHUYA D-16 MY LOVEEEEE🥹.

♢ S W I T C H (50/50 as well).

♢ 💕MAH💘BOOOooOoOo💖.

♢ That’s my kin you guys don’t EVER mess with me 💪🏾🔥✨ (I say as if it’s a flex…) .

♢ HE HAS A HIGH PITCHED SNORT/SQUEAK LAUGH IDC IDC IDCCCCCCC‼️

♢ D-16 🤝🏾 Peppa Pig.

♢ My sweetheart baby blorbo boo bear forever and ever. He will be redeemed guys trust (<- I’m delulu 😔…).

♢ Is the literal textbook definition of a squirmer. 

♢ Will kick, flail…you name it. All you need to know is he won’t sit still while being tickled 🙅🏾‍♀️. 

♢ So good luck with not getting a servo in your faceplate when tickling this bot 😂👍🏾.

♢ Can only say 'tickle' when he’s in a Ler mood or when he’s tickling some other bot…but other than that??? Can’t say it to save his LIFE.

♢ His worst spots are his neck, knees and thighs <333.

♢ But tbh he is literally the embodiment of what it means to be ticklish so in all honesty just tickle him anywhere 🤷🏾‍♀️.

♢ Lightly scratch under his chin and he will actually combust into the sweetest most purest giggles ever; it’s Orion’s fave place to tickle him ☺️🩷!!!

♢ IS. TICKLISH. EVERYWHERE (I’m aware I already said this and I’ll say it again 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️).

♢ HATES how ticklish he is and HATES how easy it is for Orion to make him tag along with his dumb missions due to that fact. Orion will literally just tickle Dee to oblivion until he decides to come on a stupid little adventure with him 😭. (#JusticeforD-162024).

♢ Kinda personal headcanon I suppose but I feel like this bot DEFINELTY has a touch of the tism…just a bit 🤏🏾😙.

♢ So when it comes to teasing, he realizes what he finds flustering and then automatically uses it on someone else.

♢ Literally gives out a free handbook on how to tickle him whenever he tickles someone else 😗.

♢ Freaking loathes his laugh…like actually….

♢ Will try to hold it in when being tickled but can only last, like…0.2 seconds before completely giving in. (His record is 1 second…Orion legit counted 💀🤚🏾…).

♢ Tries to act like he’s some big scary Ler because of his height and size but if you literally just tap him on the shoulder or something he will descend into the giggleest (pun very much intended) of giggles.

♢ Has ticklish shoulders, arms and palms as well bc I simply said so 🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾!!!

♢ Actually so scared of accidentally hurting someone when he’s squirming…like that’s legit his biggest fear. 

♢ He one time actually kicked Orion so hard his bestie went flying into a whole other room…still apologizes to him for that day constantly 😖…

♢ HATES PLAYFUL NIBBLES WITH A PASSION OH MY GOSH; FINDS THEM THE MOST GOD AWFUL EMBARRASSING THING‼️

♢ He D I E S when Orion does raspberries or nibbles on him. The only thing you’ll hear from the taller bot is snorts and subtle squeals while he’s just silently wheezing bro…

♢ His laugh…gets SO. freaking. loud when someone gives him a raspberry idk how to describe but just know it shakes the BUILDING‼️‼️‼️ 

♢ Digit wiggling gets to him so bad ohhhhoooo this poor bot is so ticklish I almost feel bad (almost).

♢ He’ll just be all like: “GEHET IHAT OHOVER WIHIHITH!!!” or “JUHUST FRAHAHAGGING DOOHOO IHIT!!!” 

♢ And Orion, being the jackaft he is is all like “Get on with whaaaat, buddy 😇~?” 

♢ Covers his faceplate when he snorts because again omg this dude hates his laugh to a FAULT. He mainly hates it because he snorts, though.

♢ And it’s not even a subtle snort like when I tell you this man snorts…he SNORTS. 

♢ Orion literally thinks D-16’s laugh is legit the most purest thing to ever exist in all of Iacon (they are so brothers coded ur honor I cannthtgththdjd).

♢ If Dee is having a bad day and just mumbling and grumbling self deprecating bullscrap to himself being all like, “My laugh is so loud and annoying and blah blah blah *insert Dee grumble noises…*” Orion will just tickle him into saying nice things about himself (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`).

♢ DOES LIL HAND FLAPPIES IF SOMEBOT GETS HIM IN A GOOD SPOT (projecting?? Pljshsggsh nooo ofc not…).

♢ Has to protect his sides bc Orion tases him DAY and NIGHT.

♢ Is ganged up on by Orion and Bee CONSTANTLY. And Elita is there just usually watching in amusement but she will join if need be 😘.

♢ She tickles D-16 sometimes to get him to loosen up bc my Lord this man is tense. More tense than her and that’s saying a LOT.

♢ Sorry to be that guy but lemme get on the angst train for a quiiiiiiick sec  🚂‼️‼️‼️

♢ Yk how I mentioned Orion’s fave spot to tickle D-16 was his chin right??? I can imagine after Megatron gets banished from Iacon he tickles himself there as like a self-soothing thing. 

♢ And the thing is…he can’t even laugh to the feeling anymore. He’s done it so many times he’s gotten numb to it. 

♢ To be completely honest he doesn’t even know why he does it anymore since he can’t feel…anything. Megatron just guesses it’s one of his many ways of grieving for what he once had…

♢ 💃🏾MUAHBAHAAHHA OKAY OKAYOKYAOKAYY LER DEE TIMEEEE🕺🏾!!!

♢ Even tho this man his is hella ticklish do NOT be fooled…he has his Ler moments.

♢ AND HIS HEIGHT HONESTLY JUST MAKES IT TEN TIMES WORSE.

♢ “Usually you’re so tough…where’d all that cockiness go, hm~?”

♢ Always tries to make his Lee guess what he’s going to do next (🎶ohooo rhyme time🎶).

♢ Will be like: “What am I gonna tickle tickle tickle~? Your oh-so yummy tummy or your neckie neck? And if you guess correctly I pink promise to stop tickling youuuuu~!”

♢ AND HE WILL NOT STOP YAPPING UNTIL YOU GUESS…

♢ But I know your thinking 'Oh, well he’s just gonna pick the oppisotw of what I out so there’s really no point…'

♢ 😃A b o u t…t h a t…😅.

♢ Once you guess, Dee will actually be like: “Awe, shucks….yeah, that’s the spot I was gonna tickle 😔.” AND STOPS TICKLING. COMPLETLEY AND JUST GOES HIS MERRY WAY.

♢ PLAYFUL GROWLS PLAYFUL GORWLS PLAYFUL GROWLLSSSS 😙💞💖💕💘

♢ FREAKING ADORES PRETENDING TO 'EAT' SOMEONE’S TICKLE SPOT UHGGFHF HE MAKES ME SO HAPPY

♢ Tries to act all scary and teasy but just ends up laughing with whomever he’s tickling ✨‼️

♢ BC LIKE?????? AWE?????

♢ Honestly just a big 'ol teddy bear 🥹…!

♢ But if he’s feeling super mean he’ll nuzzle his face into his victims— uhhh I mean compadres tummy before nibbling.

♢ THE 'OM NOM NOM' KING 🤴🏾!!!

♢ Kills Bee with it on the regular (R.I.P. 🪦).

♢ And when he becomes Megatron⁉️ Those claws⁉️⁉️⁉️

♢ Ugh I cannot with this man throw him in a dumpster already.

♡ I LOVE HERRRRR GUYS THIS IS MY QUEEN RIGHT HERE 🫠💘🫠💗🫠💓🫠💖🫠💞

♡ TALKING ABOUT HER IN A VEEEEERY POSITIVE LIGHT BECAUSE EEEEEEEE I LOVE HER SO MUCHHHH‼️

♡ 💖🫶🏾 A Ler-leaning Switch 🫶🏾💖

♡ Denies liking or Primus forbid loving tickling and she’ll take that until she’s offline (even though her friendgroup knows daaaaaang well she doesn’t like it…she 😏loves😏 it hhfgffhggrgh)

♡ I’m gonna be soooooo honest this girl didn’t even know she was ticklish until she met Orion Pax and D-16.

♡ I can literally imagine one of their first interactions was Orion just yapping about how she needs to loosen up a bit while Dee is just DESPERATELY trying to rear Orion back to their job (poor man does NOT want to get demoted).

♡ And then she just starts to ignore the two bc shoot I would to 😭🤚🏾. And Orion, trying to get her attention again pokes her in the side (more like a jab— he honest to Primus didn’t mean to tickle her) and she just squeals loudly and bats away his arm.

♡ When I tell you Orion’s faceplate brightened with mischief??? When I tell you Elita’s faceplate literally blushed so damn hard???

♡ Poor girl was so confused after that encounter. She was just like “Why am I feeling this way…and why the frag does it feel so good…?”

♡ She laughs like a ✨yassified gremlin✨…idk how to describe it bc that’s LITERALLY how her voice actor laughs.

♡ The embodiment of “EHEHEHEEH 😈‼️”

♡ Will occasionally wheeze, squeak and squeal 🙌🏾💓. But good luck, she’s a preeeeeeetty tough cookie to crack.

♡ Cannot handle massages. AT ALL.

♡ “IHIHIF YOHOU DOHON’T QUIHIHIT IHIT RIHIHIGHT THIHIHIS INSTANT-!!!”

♡ Will NOT admit she’s ticklish…she’s worse than Orion and that’s SAYING something…

♡ Her worst spots are her back, thighs and underarms.

♡ PUNCHES AND KICKS AS A REFLEX!!!

♡ Kneed Bee in the gut (🥳two for two🙌🏾) when he was tickling her and she felt SOOOOO BAD.

♡ If you wanna really get Elita to giggle, though…just do small back scribbles and pokes she’ll go ballistic 😵‍💫.

♡ Once, during a mining shift break Orion and Elita were hanging out and just poking fun of each other, right??? It was all fun and games until Orion made a cringe-worthy joke and Elita was all like “Your probably the only bot on all of Cybertron that Primus regrets creating 😑…”

♡ And Orion, being the drama king he is just GASPS and is all like “RUGGEEHJGFGF YOU’RE SO FRAGGING MEAN TAKE THAT BAAAAACK 😫😣😖😩😔😟🙁‼️”

♡ Then Elita, being as stubborn as the future Prime is all like “Make me.” Cue to the two having a playful wrestle match until Orion accidentally pokes Elita’s back..

♡ Also cue to him pining his friend to the ground and just happily tickling her back…

♡ AND WHEN I TELL YOU ELITA WAS CACKLING‼️‼️‼️

♡ Poor bot didn’t know her back was that ticklish AUGHHHH. She was all like: “PRIHIHIMUHUS STAHOP NOHOHOH PAHAHX GEHEHET AHAHAFF!!!”

♡ Doesn’t get Lee moods often but when she does?? Ohooooo it’s HELL for her 😭.

♡ She just gets really restless and tingly and shes just like: AUGHHHHH WHAT THE FRAG DO I DO???

♡ And the thing that I’ve noticed about the main male bots in TF1 is they talk with their hands…a LOT. So she could just randomly be talking with Dee and the entire time she’s just like: “Primus fraggit…”

♡ I can imagine D-16 tickling her quite often actually. Likeeee does he know what he’s in for when she gets him back??? Oh yes 100%. But I feel like he will just risk it for the biscuit when it comes to tickling Elita 🥹💞.

♡ Covers her mouth when getting tickled and HAAAAAAATES it when other bots mention it. FoOoOor example:

♡ Orion: “D'aww…Lita, why’re you covering your faceplate, hm~?”

♡ Elita: “SHUHUPF. UHUPF!!!”

♡ Orion (removing her hand): “Sorry…what was that~?”

♡ ALSO HAS REEEEEEEALLY TICKLISH PALMS AAAAA⁉️

♡ If you tickle her she will N E V E R say 'please' or anything like that tho bc she freaking refuses to 'beg to anyone.'

♡ So when the tickling happens she just accepts her fate (with the occasional kick and punch ofc).

♡ “If you fragging tell anyone I’m ticklish you will permanently get a dent in your faceplate by my fist, got it?!”

♡ 💘LOVES💘 TICKLE FIGHTS— she’ll always try and make it a competition.

♡ Won’t look her Ler in the face….she’d rather freaking deactivate.

♡ Before she received a cog, her atenta thingies were VEEEERY sensitive.

♡ IT WAS HER M E L T SPOT, BRO. One poke or nibble there and she would be GOOOONEEE.

♡ She’s really sad she doesn’t have them anymore, though cuz they were lowkey her fave tickle spot uhhhH I MEAN WHO SAID THAT⁉️⁉️⁉️

♡ Hate’s being tickled (🧢‼️).

♡ Kindaaaaa reacts when someone uses the dreaded t-word. Like she’ll stiffen and her optics will go wide and stuff and she’ll just stare going like “O-O…”

♡ AHHHHHH OKAY BUT LER ELITA HAS BEEN ON MY M I N D.

♡ Pining is quite literally her middle name. She knows waaaay too many ways on how to pin a bot so if you’re tickled by her…?

♡ Good luck, soldier 🫡. Cuz you most def will be tickled to tears.

♡ Points out the obvious ✨buuuuut✨ also adds some teases here and there….yk for ✨✨✨dramatic✨✨✨ effect.

♡ “Hm….this seems like a really bad spot…would you like it better if I moved to this spot instead?”

♡ “I genuinely cannot understand you…see, if you were less fragging ticklish then you wouldn’t be in this position.”

♡ HGFDHEJSJFJ SHE WOULD BE SO DAMN EVIL‼️

♡ Like she wouldn’t even need to threat who she’s tickling…she literally just has this look that’s quite enough to send somebot giggling.

♡ Tickle chases??? Yeah no that’s not a thing when it comes to Elita-1 ☝🏾🙂‍↔️…

♡ You’ll probably get two steps in before she playfully pins you to the ground.

♡ VERY COCKY since she knows the other three are like…hella ticklish.

♡ Like yeah she has a ticklish backplate…big deal 🙄🤚🏾. Dee has ticklish knees for Primus sake; how the frag does that work???

♡ IS ALSO SO MEAN DURING CLEANING DAY OH MY WORD…

♡ Since they’re miners (HAH) I can imagine there’s like a ton of dirt and scrap that gets stuck on/in their joints.

♡ And so, they have clean up days where the bots are washed by machines that help remove all that gunk :D!!!

♡ But yk what two bots try to skip that day constantly?

♡ D-16 and Orion Pax (mostly Dee let’s be so fr; the ONLY time this man will break protocol).

♡ And Elita has to legit hunt these two down with the little cleaning machines and she is always so. mean. about. it.

♡ Cuz Dee is hiding cuz he’s deadly ticklish and the 🪶feathers🪶 and 🧽scrubs🧽 are just….frag to the no.

♡ And Orion is just going with him for the heck of it 🤷🏾‍♀️.

♡ She’ll just stroll down the halls with her hands behind her back like some evil villain saying, “Just come out you two…the quicker we get this over with the quicker you can go back to whatever weird mission you two were doing.”

♡ “I’m not sure why you thought you could hide from me…does my title mean nothing to you~?”

♡ Knows eeeeevery tickle tick in the book; rib counting, hand wiggling, you name it.

♡ So in short? When it comes to Elita…just know what you’re getting yourself into 😵‍💫...

💛ʙ-127💛

⭔ KFHDHHEJSJS MY BABYYYYYY 😭💖🫶🏾‼️

⭔ You are my suuuunshiineeee…my only sunshine *cue LeBron James photo*

⭔ A Lee-leaning Switch ☺️👍🏾.

⭔ I bet the poor thing didn’t even know what tickling WAS until he met the squad.

⭔ I MEAN THINK ABOUT IT. HE WAS AT SUB LEVEL 50…IN BETWEEN A LONG TIME AND FOREVER…WATCHING TRASH FREAKING MELT‼️‼️‼️

⭔ WHEN WOULD HE HAVE DISCOVERED THE WONDERS AND WHIMSY OF TICKLING⁉️⁉️⁉️

⭔ Oh yeah!! That’s right…NEVER. Cuz he was alone for soooo lonnggg rruahgdggdh ☹️…

⭔ It’s giiiiiivinggggg…touch-starved tbh.

⭔ Genuinely got so confused when Orion and Dee were having a tickle fight one time (yes this happened after the movie because they all stopped Sentinel together and lived happily ever after idk what Transformers One movie YOU GUYS watched but thats the one I watched).

⭔ He was like: “Why is Dee laughing so much…is he okay 😅?!” Like out of curiosity and concern but also out of amusement because Dee’s snort laugh is legit pure serotonin 🫶🏾💕.

⭔ Elita then had to explain that he was tickling him, right? And Bee just blinked in confusion and was all like: “…The frag is a 'tickling…?'” 

⭔ After that it literally got soooooo silent and even Orion and Dee stopped their tickle fight to just look at Bee like “😦” and MDNDHSJJ BASICALLY EVERYONE WAS JUST APPALLED. 

⭔ Tickle hugs and tickle cuddles are his fave thing e v e r.

⭔ MAKES SO MANY NOISES WHEN HE GETS TICKLED OMGGGGG!?!?

⭔ Will literally squawk like 🦅dying bird🦅 if someone so much as pokes him to get his attention or something.

⭔ His worst spots are his hips, stomach and sides.

⭔ When getting tickled, he just hugs himself and kicks his lil pedes ☹️💘💗 💓💞!!!

⭔ Legit the baby brother of the group so y'all already K N O W he’s wrecked the most out of all four of them.

⭔ Let me tell you— when this sunshine gets tickled he barely does anything to stop it besides the actions I listed before. As I said…he LOVES getting tickled.

⭔ He kinda literally let’s it happen except letting out panicked “nohohonono’s” or “plehehease’s” with his occasional squeals, squeaks and hiccups.

⭔ Sososososo giddy when he’s about to get tickled 💞💕💖!

⭔ Closes his optics and covers his faceplate a ton.

⭔ Has a code word (idk what it is yet uh,mmm use your imagination that I came up with a show-stopping word) when he’s had enough.

⭔ 🫣B🤗L🫥U😵‍💫S🥴H🫠Y🤭!!!

⭔ SO SO SOOOOOO BLUSHY!!!

⭔ Anybot could wiggle their digits at him and he’s a giggling, blushing mess ugh I love him.

⭔ I can imagine him being SUPER shy to ask for tickles or to even talk about it since he’s been alone for quite some time (biggest understatement of 2024…) and the sudden switch between being alone and now having friends you consider family is really…overwhelming yk????

⭔ Like I can just see him wanting to ask D-16 for tickles or something but like he doesn’t know how to and he has a small blue tint on his faceplate while he’s rocking his pedes back and forth thinking of how to phrase the question.

⭔ And Dee just looks at him with the most understanding and soft smile and is all like: “You want tickles, buddy?” and Bee just shyly nods UUUGGGHHHFHHDJDJS,,,,!,!

⭔ Closes his optics or looks away this man can not and will not ever look his Ler in the face 😂.

⭔ Kinda worried and paranoid that he’s too much sometimes and he fears that the others will eventually get tired and annoyed with him so he masks. Which, Orion, D-16 and Elita do not like ONEEEE BIIIIT.

⭔ The other three gang up on him CONSTANTLY.

⭔ Is tickled awake by Elita 24/7.

⭔ Kinda tickly on his lower backplate and if you scribble there juuuuuust right he’ll descend in the most sweetest of cackles RAUGHHHH 💃🏾💕🕺🏾!!!

⭔ While being tickled, he has to be corrected on like how to say it…if that makes sense 😅; since he’s unfamailar with it and the word as a whole…he has a hard time structuring it. For example: 

⭔ Bee: “IHIHIHIT TIHIHICKLED SOHOH BAHAD!!!”

⭔ Orion: “I think you mean it 'tickles', bud. It tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle tickles, buddy boo~!”

⭔ Bee (blushing SO freaking hard): “NONOHOHOH!!!”

⭔ Counts the egg crack knee thingie thing as illegal and he will actually deactivate faster than you can say 'Badassatron' if you do it to him 😭👍🏾.

⭔ After he gets somewhat comfortable around his friends as the months go by, he will just straight up just ask to get wrecked….which the others have no problem doing at all 🫶🏾!!!

⭔ “Nohoh wahahait dohohon’t ahactuahally stohop I didn’t mehehean it…”

⭔ Two words: 👏🏾Baby👏🏾. 👏🏾Teases👏🏾.

⭔ LITERALLY MAKES HIM MALFUNCTION SO BAD BRO. Like…getting tickled as a stand-alone he barely knows how to react but sprinkle some baby teases in there⁉️⁉️⁉️ Just deactivate the poor bot at that point…

⭔ I love him so much he makes me so fucking sick 🫨💞‼️

⭔ BUT HIM AS A LER THO⁉️⁉️⁉️

⭔ A FREAKING MENACE. Well…uh,,,,,kinda.

⭔ He’s awkward at first. Like…so so so awkward. Like…cringe-worthy awkward.

⭔ Poor dude did NOT KNOW how to tickle somebot…he was just kind like, “Huh…this is weird but your reactions are cute so imma keep doing it :).”

⭔ AND GOT SO UPSET WITH HIMSELF THAT HE DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO TICKLE PEOPLE.

⭔ SINCE HIS FRIENDS MAKE HIM GIGGLY AND HAPPY HE WANTS TO REGIVE THE FAVOR BUT HE DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO.

⭔ So yk what he does??? He takes 📝notes📝 on how others tickle him and how his friends tickle each other (pretty smart strategy tbh 😌👍🏾).

⭔ One day, D-16 and Bee were tag-teaming Orion and Bee used one of Dee’s teases and Orion completely LOST it while Dee just looked at Bee proudly 💕✨.

⭔ Big brother little brother bonding right there! Hopefully nothing bad happens to them, right? RIGHT??? Right.

⭔ Loves tazing and poking eheh.

⭔ “Boop boop boop boop boopity boop ☺️!!!”

⭔ And he says it in the most genuine purest way e v e r ^

⭔ But once he’s learned to be teasy and mean??? It’s over for freaking everyone.

⭔ Loves pointing out how much the bot he’s tickling is having fun.

⭔ Yaps to no end about how they could 101% get away or how they’re just holding his wrists and not ACTUALLY preventing him from tickling them (as I said…menace).

⭔ “Looks like SOMEBOT is enjoying themselves~!”

⭔ Since Bee is…yk…really really short, after the rebuild (basically a couple months after the movie) of Iacon he often climbs Elita’s and Optimus' backplate and just forces them to give him a piggyback ride 😗.

⭔ BUuUuUuT this lil yellow bot is a legit demon (he has horns in other iterations for a reason ☝🏾😈) and he likes to just ever so slooowly trace the bot who’s carrying him’s neck or just full on blows a raspberry on the crook of their neck cables.

⭔ Like…99.9% always tries to make his Lee admit something.

⭔ Either that they’re cute, that they like being tickled or something along those lines.

⭔ We all know his knife hands tho yes yes mhm mhm we’re all familiar???

⭔ Okay hear me out but what if they were like…interchangeable?

⭔ Like he has daggers for slicing and dicing but then he ALSO has daggers that aren’t sharp enough to kill or scratch a man but sharp enough to…well, I know you catch my drift 😚🫶🏾.

⭔ “I gotchu~! I’m gonna getchu getchu getchu~!”

⭔ In short, love this dork and I cannot flipping wait to see more of him 🐝.

⭔ Although, if his voicebox gets ripped out you guys will not hear from me. At all.

I think that either you can respect different interpretations of your book, or you have to state exactly what you want to convey. So what's stopping Leigh from releasing those Darkling pov chapters she has written. Let us read his thoughts and find out for ourselves how evil he really is. Whenever we get in his head in the written material, he is thinking of sunlight and then everyone else is like look at that evil mf.

Yup. Exactly.

I believe that Leigh likes the Darkling's character, she doesn't hate him. But she just doesn't know what to do with him, you know.

She has said it herself that whenever people call him "good" she says "No! He killed people!". And when people call him "evil" she says "No! He's not! He has just been through a lot!". And she has also explained that she's a cranky author. She kinda wants readers to perceive her characters the way she sees them.

Anyway, you're right that any author must let the readers decide themselves about the characters inside the novels. And if you want to make someone truly bad, show it. Don't have other characters say "He's manipulating!" when we (the readers) don't remember where the fuck that happened. Show it instead of saying "He's bad".

AND DON'T START ME ABOUT HIS POVS

The fact that she has written the Darkling's POV in S&B and S&S makes me FERAL!!!

I

WANT

THEM!!!

I would exchange my soul to read them. To read what he thinks of Alina, what were his true plans, were these kisses fucking genuine? (I just want the confirmation), his mad thoughts about M*l etc etc.

I just pray that one day we'll be able to get them. And when we do, we'll celebrate together, guys (and I'll analyse the fuck out of them)

Also, you're right that his POV in RoW wasn't that dark? He truly showed us that he's not unhinged as many make him to be. He seemed reasonable, intelligent, determined, strategic, willing to fight and protect his followers and even showed us that he has a sense of humor!

The Darkling in his POV: "Oh look how the sun is shining!"

The readers: "SHUT UP SATANIC EVIL SPAWN OF THE DEVIL!!! ✝️✝️"
