Optimus Prime and Ratchet

Ratchet

Grumpy Guardian Mode - Ratchet absolutely notices the signs that something is off at your home, even if you try to hide it from him. He's incredibly perceptive especially when it comes to injuries or behavioural changes. It just his medic instincts that just kicks in

Protective Dad mode - If anyone ever made a comment about your home life or tried to take advantage of you, Ratchet would not let that slide, not one bit. He would be so ready to throw a wrench.. literally

Tough love, soft heart - He's not super-touchy feely but you'll notice how he starts to make sure you have food to eat, a blanket and somewhere to rest when you're at the base, he always makes sure you are comfortable here at the base

Optimus

Gentle Authority - Optimus is calm, steady and safe. He's the kind of presence that makes you feel protected just by seeing or being near him, you start to feel more grounded every time he talks to you int hat soft and calming tone

Talks like a dad - He gives you wise advice, encourages you when you're down and supports you without judegment, your dad has never done that.. But Optimus will always remind you that you're more important than other stuff

Safe Haven - After a while, Optimus talk with Agent Fowler and quietly arranges it so you're allowed to stay at the base more often than staying at your house, under "security observation" but in all truth, Optimus just wants you to be somewhere safe

Together - Ratchet and Optimus

They will both notice how you are starting to relax and hang out more at the base, how your shoulders drop, how you smile more often than being upset and how you stop flinching at sudden noises

At some point, Ratchet will set up a little space for you in the corner of the medbay and Optimus adds a shelf of your belongings - books, sketchs anything you have brought

You would sometimes fall asleep near Ratchet's workstation and he'll cover you with a blanket if you didn't have any int he first place

Optimus checkin and just exchanges a glance with Ratchet who says "We have to protect her"

They may not be your actual parents but they become your chosen family, offering warmth and a gentle guidance in a world that has been harsh for someone so young

A/N - If anyone is struggling with family issues, I Hope it will get better for you <3

[lets-try-some-writing]

Since you said Jack sometimes does a whistle to purposely get Arcee’s attention and Miko would try to, would these two take advantage of other human things bots don’t yet understand how it works? Like Jack telling Arcee that if Arcee don’t take him on a drive he might start aging much faster from being upset, and Miko telling Bulkhead that her brain will downgrade and go numb if she don’t get enough stimulation.

Oh heck yeah. The kids would absolutely abuse the bots relative lack of education and make the best of it.

Jack is by far one of the nicest in his manipulations and generally keeps it to things such as having Arcee take him to see cool new places with the groundbridge because, quote: "A human adolescent who doesn't travel and experience new things will have their brains begin to rot and turn into creatures we call ghouls."

Arcee has no clue what a human ghoul is, but she knows the stories of ghouls back on Cybertron. Flesh eating creatures that devour not only energon, but also organs and pieces of the frame. The idea that a young human may turn into something like that absolutely terrifies her, at least if that human were to be Jack. She makes it a point to take Jack out once a week with her on patrols around the globe in order to protect him from that fate. Ratchet and Optimus are fully aware of the fact that Jack is full of slag when it comes to that particular tidbit, but they let it be since it gets Arcee out of the base.

Miko abuses the ever loving crap out of the bots ignorance. She has firmly made Bulkhead believe that if she isn't allowed to fight, her instincts will deteriorate and she will become braindead. Bulkhead, terrified of that outcome, has now been forced to set up sparring sessions for Miko to compensate for lack of actual combat. Wheeljack for his part has been roped into believing that if Miko isn't allowed to use weaponry and train with it, she will quite literally become thin as a reed since humans need tools to grow (her words, not the wreckers). Smokescreen has also reached a point of fanaticism when it comes to one of Miko's ploys. She told him one time that if she doesn't get at least one lollipop a day, her blood sugar will drop and she will fall into a coma. Smokescreen carries around a bag of candy just to be safe.

Rafael is a little nicer, but he will fight for more screen time by making it clear to Bumblebee that computer lights actually help improve his vision. The more computer light he gets, the better his vision will be temporarily. Bumblebee doesn't know how that is supposed to work, but humans are weird. So he just kinda... lets Rafael abuse his computer rights in base since it supposedly does good things for his eyes. Ratchet hasn't caught on yet. Ratchet also hasn't figured out that Rafael is totally playing him when he asks Ratchet for stories in order to help him retain his memory. Rafael has woven quite that tale that essentially boils down to him needing stories in order to keep his memory top notch. Ratchet hasn't figured out its a bunch of slag yet.

Optimus is one of the few bots no one can pull any fast ones on...

Except Fowler

Fowler has convinced Optimus that he should be allowed to drive Optimus's alt-mode at least once a month in order to keep his joints from withering away. Optimus has wondered why Fowler can't use another vehicle to work his joints, but Fowler always says its easier with Optimus just because if his joints give out, Optimus will be there to help him out.

Optimus questions this logic more and more when Fowler urges him to drive FAR over the speed limit on back roads.

[cybertronian-reader-imagines]

How about someone who was recently turned into a Cybertronian and Team Prime tended to and comforted them? They have a lot of adjusting to do! 👀

TW: A bit of implied disassociation because, holy shit, suddenly you're a giant metal robot and that's kinda hard to wrap your newly non-organic brain around.

((Knock Out is here because there is not enough Autobot!Knock Out and I love him.))

Team Prime comforting Reader, who just got turned into a Cybertronian, would include...

Optimus reassures you from the first moment that you have a safe home with Team Prime, should you choose to stay with them. Of course, you do. He makes sure you have the time and space to adjust and be comfortable with your new body before jumping into anything. He's just there if you need him, which some days is more helpful than everyone's else's efforts to offer unsolicited advice right off the bat.

Bumblebee helps you adjust to having wheels by challenging you to races that double as training whenever possible. He is almost certainly going easy on you, but nobody ever tells you as much.

Bulkhead is the first to realize that maybe you just really need a damn hug right now, if only because he's not very good with words. He hugs you and reassured you that it will be okay, and you're amazed how warm and fuzzy you feel afterwards, even though you're fairly sure your new body doesn't actually feel such minute temperature changes.

Ratchet tries to be "comforting" by explaining how your new body works... in detail that goes way, WAY over your head. But eventually, you get him talking about Cybertron's history and culture, and realize that your two species aren't all that different after all, which helps more than an anatomy lesson ever could.

Smokescreen is quick to remind you that you don't have to go back to your boring human school/job/house/whatever. Depending on how much you liked/disliked your old life, this is either incredibly helpful or incredibly irritating. If you get upset with him though, he's quick to apologize, and it's hard not to be comforted by that well-meaning smile and a servo patting your shoulder.

Arcee might somehow be even more protective of you than she is of the humans - she knows what happens when bots overestimate how much they can handle, and she figures that's really easy to do when you go from being a tiny, fragile human to a giant robot. Sometimes it's hard to hear her remind you that you're still mortal, but she means well. "Okay Mom, I get it."

Wheeljack, like Bulkhead, isn't very good with words, but he's also not very good with affection. What he can do, however, is listen. He's there the first time you get frustrated with the rest of the Team - not because they truly did anything wrong, but because being cramped into a tiny base with people you've just met will irritate anyone - and he never breathes a word of what you vented to the others. The Wreckers had their spats too - he knows you'll all be cool at the end of the day.

Oh Primus help Ultra Magnus he doesn't have a comforting servo in his body, but at least he's honest about that. In fact, he's the best bot to go to when you're ready to have things less sugarcoated.

Knock Out doesn't understand what the fuss is about - why would anyone ever want to be a squishy, gross organic when they could be Cybertronian? Humans couldn't turn into cars, for one, and couldn't be polished. He gives you a fresh coat of paint and polish and tells you how much better you look now - it does help, in a way. Being able to pick out new paint makes you feel a little more like your new body is really your body.

But honestly? Your biggest comfort might just be Jack, Miko, and Raf, if only because they will remind you any time you so much as frown just how cool being a giant robot is. And then you remember, yeah, it is pretty cool, actually.

Call It Paradise

Optimus x Reader

NSFW | Car Play

Warnings: Heavy on teasing, not valveplug, literally fucking a car component

Occasionally, neither of you two can sleep. On these nights, Optimus would often ask if you wanted to join him on a late night drive.

Tonight was one of those nights. Turning another year older is not something you exactly enjoy. After all, why would you celebrate the day when everything went wrong? As the night creeped on, decision day came closer.

As weak as it is, Optimus still could sense your EM waves. And this, was not a feeling that he has associated with you before. Being the usual Prime that he is, spending little recharge time, —just a little more than Ratchet, he tapped his commlink and called for you on your phone.

"I seem to have picked up a frequency that states for you to be in distress." It's 3am. You fumble on your phone and nearly tell him that, that was the most convoluted way of asking "Are you okay."

"I just can't sleep. One of those nights again." You reply with an exasperated sigh.

"You've been having a lot of these lately." He briskly replies back.

"Yeah, humans tend to have phases where we fluctuates with out moods." You're not lying, even if it wasn't for your birthday, it natural that humans have ups and downs in their moods.

Optimus sensed that there might have been something else going on, but refused to push you further. Rather, he offers, "Would you like to go on a drive with me?"

You pause for a moment, knowing it's probably because he want to know more. But the idea of going for some fresh air and being with Optimus sounds absolutely exhilarating. "Sure, I'll be out in a second." You decide.

Scrambling on a sweater on top of your nightgown as you pop out your head into the lobby of the base. Optimus waiting, ready in his alt-mode.

The moment he spots you, his engines rev ever so slightly. Opening his passenger door open for you as you grab onto the handle, fumbling on the steps. Before you could even get settled, he's already pulling out the seat belt, fastening it around you. A gesture he's always done for you.

"Any particular destination?" His voice echos around through the speakers, a low vibration that trembles around you.

"None really, we can just hop onto the highway or something."

"Anything for you." He replied with his usual comforting voice. Yet it felt like there was something else he wanted to say.

Ignoring the tinge of uncertainty, you tell him, "Thanks Optimus, I really appreciate it."

—

A quiet ride between the two of you, as you're comforted with the surrounding of him, completely secure in his hold. But it wasn't minutes in before your adhd couldn't take it anymore.

"Optimus, you know…" You start off. Shuffling in the seat slightly.

He could feel the slight sensation of your weight shifting, the insignia on his steering wheel slightly pulses as he grasp to control himself.

"My birthday— no, uhh, what do you guys call it… creation date? Is coming up."

If he wasn't on the highway, he would have totally hit the breaks. Creation day? How did he miss such an important event?

"It's just… I'm not a huge fan of it. I never really cared much for it. Everything from the date, to the reminder of my existence. Yet every year it comes around." You continue, with a hint of disdain, as well as sorrow.

There was a moment of silence between the two of you. Optimus wondered if he should say anything, and you wondered if he was upset about this.

Despite your inner turmoil, you try to reassure him. Folding your legs up onto the seat, as you lean in and pat his glove box. Gently stroking the leather. "I didn't mean to upset you. I was just explaining why my mood has been so all over the place."

A touch that sends reverb through him. Battling between wanting to soothe you, reassure you that he is not, as well as wanting to understand just what that desolate tone of your voice meant. Oh, and the fact that your touch is clearly having effect on him.

"Sweetspa- I mean, (y/n), I am by no means upset. I mearly wish to comfort you." He finally manages to choke out.

"…Thank you Optimus, I could use a little comfort." You let out a soft sigh, relieved that you didn't bother him. "Can I… ask for a favor then…?" You manage to mumble out.

"Absolutely."

You don't even bother to reply, unbuckling the seat belt as you make a small hop, crawling pass the center console, plopping yourself into the driver's seat.

Optimus lets out a small jolt, not expecting you to undo your seat belt in the middle of a highway, let alone crawl over to the drivers. Deciding that if you're going to do anything ridiculous, he better pull off the highway. Taking the first exit out as he starts dropping his speed.

"Just… let me have this once Optimus. I need it. Think of it as a birthday gift." You tell him, desperately. Guiding your hand over his steering wheel, Gently stroking over the leather and his insignia, the autobot logo pulsing brighter does not go unnoticed.

"Let's… Just take it easy and enjoy." You assure him.

Optimus hitches a breath, pulling in air in his vents as he pulls off into a parking lot. "…Alright, just be careful."

This might have been the most ridiculous thing you've ever done, but to hell with it. It is your birthday anyways. Let loose and live a little. You told yourself. Running you hands up and down his steering wheel, softly stroking it as you lean in and give the insignia a kiss. "This man… no, this bot. Has done so much for you, for everyone. this badge… is a badge of honor." You mumble out, not realizing you let your internal thoughts out.

Despite being on park, Optimus accidentally revs his engine slightly. The ambient glow of the autobot logo glows even more vividly. "S-sweetspark…"

"Shhh." You hush him, nuzzling your cheek into the wheel. "For me… no, for us."

Letting out a rumble in acceptance, you take that as an OK to continue.

Turning over as you now decide to tease something else. And what do you see? his gear stick. Glancing back at his insignia as that's your only indication of how he feels, and experience where he only has his voice and physiological cues for you to decrypt.

Running you palm over this tip of his gearshift as you palm it gently. Shifting your self over onto your knees, barely sitting on the driver's seat at this point.

Letting out a deep growl, "S-sweetspark, you don't know what you are doing to me…"

"Oh no, I know." You reply right back. "Does it feel good Optimus?" You ask as you wrap your hand around his gear stick, rolling your fingers over it.

Accepting defeat, his exhaust pipes lets out a cloud of smoke. "Y-yes…"

Satisfied with his answer. you hum. Picking up the pace as you start to stroke his gear shift. Tucking your hair with your other hand, leaning in as you give it a kiss. Before proceeding to drag your tongue over the leather.

"F-frag…" His voice echos out. Tucked in his transformation. he could feel his spike pressurizing. Yet he has no choice to remain in his alt-mode. Lest he hurts you mid transformation.

Throwing away all your logic once you heard that voice. The gentle yet strong, a true leader of his kind. —No, of all sentient species.

The heat in the cabin gradually increases, no doubt because of Optimus heating up. And to counter this, you zip off your sweater and toss it over on the passenger seat. Leaving you in what you wore going to sleep. A dark blue and red lace nightgown.

He wants to take you right here. To transform and pin you down. Regardless that he's in public, or outside in a parking lot. Tensing up as he whines out. "Please… sweetspark…"

"I'm working on it honey." Caught up in the lust and tension between the two of you, not realizing that you slipped out a pet name. "I know, I want you too. but we're outside."

Inventing as he reminds himself to stay undercover, to be in his alt-mode, as brutal as the ordeal is. He can feel his t-cog just begging to grind and let it out.

While there is no access to his spike or valve in this mode, there sure is something that oddly resembles one. "Just trust me on this one okay?" You purr out, swinging a leg over from the drivers seat to the passenger's. Straddling his gear shift as you roll you hips over it. Grinding up and down on it.

With a hitched breath, you hear Optimus chime out. "Sweetspark, you can't be thinkin—"

"—But I am." You quickly cut him off. "And I will. Do you see how wet I am for you Optimus. my spark?" Huffing back as you roll your folds all over the leather, drenching it in fluid.

Before he could object, you slide yourself on. You want this for yourself, a selfish greed. Careful as you lower yourself, taking a moment to adjust to him, before bending your legs a little bit more, letting out a satisfied moan.

He too, could help but groan out. "F-frag sweetspark…" Feeling you clench around him. Be it not his spike, yet the feeling of you giving yourself nevertheless. Letting of vibrations as he tries to hold himself to not shake too much.

Those vibrations were unexpected, letting out a cry of gasp as you feel him sending jolts up your back. "F-fuck! Optimus!" You manage to gasp out.

How he wish he could hold you, grasp onto your hips and plunge you down. Your voice calling out for him sends primordial needs straight into his processors. "Please sweetspark, more…" He desperately coos out.

"Y-yeah…" You reply as you take a breath and steady your legs, adjusting to the vibrations as you return to lifting your hips up and down. Moaning and panting as you pick up the speed.

Biting your lips as you huff out for him. Rolling yourself as you use him to find your spots, making sure you hit all that you can.

He may not be able to overload, but you sure can. With a loud gasp, you find yourself clenching around him, giving out as you gush out. Causing a mess of your juices coating his interior.

"Frag." With darkened lust, he huffs out. Not expecting you to cause such a scene.

You ride out the high, still having aftershocks of jolts that involuntarily tightens around him. Carefully as you pull your legs up, sliding yourself off.

Before you can even apologize for the mess, the seat belt pulls out, instantly wrapping you into the passenger seat.

"Sit still, we're heading back right now." He commands. A tone of desperation and authority booms from the speakers.

"Optimus I-" you try to start to apologize.

Not wanting to hear any excuses from you, he quickly buckles your seat belt and immediately pulls out of the parking lot, speeding right back onto the highway.

"Optimus! Listen I-" You try again.

"Do not apologize sweetspark." He reminds you. "We're heading back to base. Now." As he absolutely is not following the speed limits. Giving out a pause before continuing. "It is your creation day after all. You deserve more."

Perhaps you teased him a little too much, perhaps it was just a hidden intimacy that both of you had, yet neither explored it until now. Regardless, the night was long from over, and this time, Optimus will have his fill.

"…Alright, I'm all yours then, Optimus, my love."

[mskenway97]

I had this in mind for some time and some ideas made me think about this story. It takes place during the course of the 'Alpha/Omega' episode of transformers prime after Optimus lost the Star Saber.

Tfp Optimus Prime x Fem!human!reader

I will stay

Words: 1,576

Summary: You haven't heard from your guardian for days, when you got the news from Jack that a new weapon had been discovered. You decided to stop by to see why he wasn't talking to you like before to discover a side of him you didn't know.

Warning: angst, sorrow, g/t content, g/t confort fluff

You knew something wasn't right, ever since he came back with his memory restored. Something was keeping you upset, you felt that he had put up a wall that you couldn't get through. That didn't happen before. You met him by chance bad timing, a detour home several Vehicons and a big robot of almost 30 ft. Since then he had taken care of you, as Ratchet refused to be the guardian, plus you were older than the children on the base to your surprise. You befriended them, but you were always intrigued by Prime, and little by little you were able to talk about various things. Seeing what caught his attention… Apart from the popular culture books of Earth and what I was dedicated to. Partly little by little you began to fall in love with this metallic giant, his kindness, his concern, his dedication to the Earth. To feel safe among his servos, or to sit on his shoulder while he worked, little details that mattered a lot to you. But at the same time they made you feel helpless, helping Miko and Raf was easy. Engaging Ratchet in conversation was a challenge. Understanding Bumblebee was a challenge. But you tried because you wanted to get to know them better. Everything started to change since Unicron showed up, the day Optimus left… Those were the worst days for you, you didn't know how much you needed him… the sound of his voice, the touch of his finger when he stroked your hair…

He came back to you but interactions started to be more limited, he would pick you up from work: Arcee or Bulkhead. Only Ratchet stayed at the base…. That made you feel partly miserable, you knew he had great work, great responsibility but at the same time you wanted to help him. That he just didn't show that stoic side to all the people. But you were only a small human, between a war of enormous titans. You could only stand by and watch, you wished you could do more, could help more. But you were just an ant in comparison…. You wished at least to see him smile, at least just once… If only you could comfort him, do something. You would do anything. This was eating you up more and more. Until the deadline came when Jack started telling you about a new weapon the autobots had found: Star Saber, it seemed they had an advantage to win, at least something that looked like they would win the war once and for all. That day you left work late at night, but you knew Optimus would be at the base, so you called Ratchet for a groundbridge. You watched with all the joy in the world. Until you saw Ratchet's long faces, the others were patrolling. You didn't understand what was going on until you saw a weapon completely destroyed.

-Ratchet, what happened? - you asked as you climbed the stairs. Ratchet sighed as he looked at the command center - Star Saber was destroyed, Megatron found a way to create his own Star Saber with Dark Energon.

-How is this possible? Solus Prime's forge can only be used by one.

-Megatron found a way… Optimus fought against him, with some injury but he will be

-Damage?! - you said as Ratchet tried to calm you down.

-He's fine. You should go home… Something in you jumped, you were sick of having to leave, of having to be pulled back - No, not this time. I'm going to talk to him. Don't even think of stopping me - you said seriously as you walked down the hallway without listening to Ratchet's words to reason with you. You moved quickly down the long hallway to get to Optimus' room, you didn't think, you acted on pure instinct and emotion. You wanted to know how he was doing, he didn't care if he tried to kick you out, he wasn't going to back down too. you weren't going to leave him behind, you weren't going to give up anymore. You tried knocking on the huge door to see that it wasn't locked, which surprised you since Optimus was always careful with his room and his secrets. He hadn't let you in either due to various reasons that the autobot leader always made an excuse for. Then you walked in to see around a room that had a huge desk, next to a bed, what appeared to be a pile of datapads on the desk table. You stood admiring the place, as you looked like a little doll or toy as you walked around. The door behind you closed, you jumped in fright. Then you saw Optimus, he seemed to be leaning on his bed. At least you had a fix on him, the problem was how to get to him.

It was not easy for you to get to the bed but with a lot of patience you climbed up one of the bed spreads, you approached carefully so that he would not crush you when he moved, you were in front of his face about to wake him up but you noticed on his face in his optics rather, there was something blue liquid. Biologically, humans and cybetronians were not so different… He was crying… You approached him carefully as you touched his faceplate, it felt cold but at the same time you heard a small engine noise, you saw that he opened the optics slowly to see your face so close to him. You thought he was going to refuse or push you away, you were about to respond but contrary to what you thought, his servo grabbed you to pull you to his chest and place you close to his spark. He was stroking your back with his other servo, feeling a great warmth but you shook your head at what you initially came for. This bot had great skill in reading your mind, he already knew why you were here.

-You were worried about me… I am sorry for my absence these days, little one. Matters have led me into situations to keep you and the rest safe. You clenched your fist, a little clenched your jaw, I was doing it again….

-Don't do it… Optimus was confused to hear you - Pardon?

-Don't you dare hide how you feel in front of me, I know you're trying to protect me…. But what matters to me is how you feel, don't you dare say it's not important, war is important. You are distancing yourself from everyone…

-Little girl, I…

-Don't you dare do this alone… When Unicron arrived you disappeared. I thought you really left - you said trying to keep your tone of voice without tears - You walked away, I don't care if it's for my protection, I don't care how many times you try to push me away, I will stay… I will not leave here - you said determinedly as you looked at the optics. There was a deafening silence between the two of you, you looked at each other with determination that your words, then you felt his arms around you squeezing you a little you felt him leaning you to his chassis. You looked at his optics to see the tears coming back to him.

The burdens of a leader are something I must keep, I stayed away for your protection. I may win some battles others I may lose them with quite a few consequences: the Star Saber, Raf's life was close too…. If it hadn't been Raf… - he said as he lifted me up to look at you better - and if it had been you, I wouldn't have forgiven myself…. The words the giant had said had hit hard in your heart, as he wrapped his servos around you as if to protect you from the world -… I can't lose you like that - he said in a low voice. That made a little more of a dent in you, but you moved closer to his face, leaned gently to his cheek as you saw that his optics were focused on you.

-I know, that's how I've been feeling these days too…. I don't want to lose you like this either.

You gave her a soft kiss on her cheek, which had the effect of sounding her engines a little as she squeezed you a little closer in her servos, you felt her nuzzle to you. You had missed these interactions so much, you had missed her too much.

-Next time, try talking to me. I know I can't share your burden, but I'll listen to you as long as it takes - you said as she put you back closer to her chassis but closer to her spark.

-I will try for you. And I will never leave you alone again - he said as you felt a big pulse of sparkle warm you up a little. That was all you needed to hear, you stayed like that for a while longer as words were not needed at that moment. Maybe when things calmed down you would tell him how you really felt about him. Just feeling his company, though, was all you needed. Maybe one day you would manage to get a smile out of him. But little by little, you felt him close your eyes to fall asleep near his chassis. Feeling at peace at last… Next to him.

[love-and-war-on-cybertron]

Since you mentioned dead dove request. 👉👈 Could it be possible to request Synthetic Energon!Ratchet? I feel like that mech would do unspeakable things when horny.

Maybe he has a crush on reader who is a mechanic helping him out, and he gets jealous when he sees reader bond with Knock Out now that he doesn't have the medbay and you to himself. Reader could casually offer to buff/polish Knock and that pushes Ratchet over the edge and just yanks you and takes you to his quarters after giving you the silent treatment all day. Highly doubt that mech would show any restrains.

"How's it Hummin'" Will forever be HOT. Like goddamn sleazy but HOT. Sorry It's being split into a two-parter XP

cw: Heavy Dub-con. Reader wants it, but maybe not quite like that.

It had been innocent. Or so you thought. Ratchet had been moody, especially ever since he tried that synthetic crap. Ignoring you all day, even when you came directly to him, asking if you could help with anything. The huff you received in return was enough to know you didn't want to deal with whatever he was upset about.

Knockout was better company today anyways.

The formerly Decepticon Medic had warmed up to you despite being human. You knew your stuff and didn't joke or distrust him for being a turn coat. You could even share a few laughs and talk about Movies. He offered to let you ride with him to see one at the drive in.

Ratchet mumbled something. You assumed it was annoyance at what ever project he was working on. After some chitchat, you and Knock Out get to work, snarking back and forth. It was a project you had been working on for awhile. Something Ratchet said you didn't need his help on.

A couple hours in, you're taking a break, sitting next to Knock out. He holds up an arm, sighing at a scuff.

"I miss Breakdown. He could get this out and polish it away like it never happened." He seemed lost in thought for a moment.

Knowing what happened to his friend, you felt a little bad, "Well maybe I can Buff that out for you later?" Ratchet drops a tool but you pay it no mind, "I got some tool in my truck if you're okay with human tools. I could-" You stop, seeing Knockout's face.

He isn't looking at you, but past you, Optics wide. Heavy footsteps rapidly approach and knockout backs away, servos held up. He speaks in Cybertronian. There is a sharp response behind you before you are snatched up.

The grip is a bight tight, but nothing damaging. You try to struggle out of it but you're brought up quickly to meet green Optics. "Quiet."

It's Ratchet. What was up his aft? You try to speak again, but he growls at you. The sound and vibration sending a shiver down your spine. He stomps through the base all the way to his quarters. Far in the back. He liked the quiet. You are none-too-gently dumped onto the slap of rock he made into a berth. The room is dark, save for the glow of his eyes. The green makes you uneasy. As does the way he leans close, servos flat on either side of you.

"What's up Ratchet?" You sit up on your elbows, heart racing, trying to keep your voice steady.

The Medic glares down at you, silent. Servos dragging off of the slab as he stands straight. Glowering down at you, he looked even more massive.

"Getting real fragging close to that Con." He spits the last word out.

"He's not a decepticon anymore. You know tha-'

A massive metal fist slams down beside you, his face close. You're bathed in that sick green light. Vision drowned in his optics. His voice, a tense whisper.

"Getting. Real. close."

You start shaking, unable to look away as the mechanics of his optics shift and focus on you. Who was this, cause it sure as hell wasn't Ratchet. All this change started with...

"Ratchet. Come on. You-" you take a shaky breath, "You haven't been yourself. Lets just-"

"No." His voice is firm as he grabs your ankle and drags you to the edge of the berth, "I have never felt more myself. Stronger. Faster. Better. Can't you see it? Can't you see I'm better than everyone else? Especially that scrap excuse for a doctor?"

Trying to scoot away only made his hold on you tighten enough to earn a grunt.

"The frag do you see in him, when I'm right in front of you?"

You had always suspected something, Ratchet was a bit softer with you compared to the other humans. Always excluding you from his complaints about humans. Taking time to talk to you, teaching you about Cybertronian physiology. But this...

"Ratchet, that shit is making you act weird." You say, reaching out to touch the servo that grips you. The large Metal thumb running up and down your leg. It sent another shiver down your spine.

"No, I'ts making me act just right. I'm not holding back anymore." His thumb slides under your shirt.

Yandere TFP Ratchet x female human reader(Gundam model builder nerd) pt.2

(obsession, confession, drugged up, kidnapping)

(special shout out too yandere--stuck for a little inspiration)

Because of your jerk landlord increasing your rent you had no choice but to get a second job since your figure building and match making business that she had set up for the children's high school it wasn't giving you enough to pay the bills, it also meant your schedule would change. Luckily there was working from home jobs and your mom worked from home with her business and you had asked her for a job at her company, it took you a week to hear by saying that you had gotten the job it also meant you could only hang around the autobot base on weekends only.

There was a little upset with the children that they couldn't see you that much when you got your new job, though the most upset was Ratchet even though he didn't show it. Ratchet had gotten used to your company and enjoyed talking with you, now that he wouldn't see you as much as before almost bothered him.

Though it was your first week of absents for those five days was when Ratchet realized something about himself that he hadn't noticed, upon you return on Saturday with the children was the moment he had developed feelings for you. He knew it was wrong loving a human and didn't want to believe it himself, instead of saying anything he kept thee emotions he had for you to himself acting like his usual self. But inside he was in pain, a type of pain he had never felt before in his long life him in denial did make things...different. Optimus had noticed how Ratchet would talk with you whenever you where working on another gundam model or painting another 3-D gundam model for a special order, you even surprised Ratchet when you had shown him the special model of him that you had custom made for a gundam kit. Yes Ratchet was shocked by that as was the children seeing the model kit, you had connections and used them in making a one of a kind kit in seeing how it would turn out. Even the instruction where that of Japanese kits with them written in Japanese, you didn't realize that showing Ratchet that kit you made of him sparked something that shouldn't have been lite.

"Thanks for driving me home Ratchet, I'm surprised you offered." You said that after you got out of Ratchet's vehicle mode, holding your bag of supplies you had brought to the base.

"It's the least I can do for you (Y/N)." Was Ratchet's response to you, what he really wanted was to see where you lived. You had lived in some of the small apartments that Jasper had, they weren't really great but they weren't bad either especially if your a student. You said your goodbyes to Ratchet before you headed back to your apartment, sadly for you as soon as you got inside your apartment you had your school work to complete that. You didn't much sleep since you had a few assignments that where due along with paying your rent that was due the next morning, for your Sunday you had decided to sleep in for a bit till like around 11am because of the hard work load you had to do until three in the morning.

After paying your rent you had went to the autobot base by car, you did have a car but it was old and in your budget. Arriving at the base you where greeted by Ratchet whom right away you noticed that his eyes where green instead of blue

"Ratchet? What happened to you eyes?"

"Something great happened (Y/N) I finally completed the synthetic energon formula, I tested it on myself." Him saying that you imminently said

"You used yourself as a test subject?" To your shock Ratchet picked you up with his hand as he smiled at you

"And I'm happy I took that risk. I've never felt better." After he said that had put you down on one of tiers of the stairs

"Just be careful with that stuff Ratchet, please."

Not long after you showed up you noticed Ratchet was acting....different, he was a little more..well...ah....lets just say he gained more personality thanks to the Synth-En. He reminded you of an over confident college football jock, you hated those types of personalities you where attracted to well educated and conservative. If Ratchet or Optimus where human they was your type but since both of them where an alien robots and you where fine with just having that friendship, yes many guys had asked you out when you where in high school. But none of where what you where looking for in a guy, honestly the real real why you moved to Jasper was in hopes in finding a boyfriend that was your type and you didn't have much luck. Yes you did have some elementary and middle boyfriends, you had ended those relationships when they had became immature for your liking. And you did care about appearances a little, a lot of gundam builders where your typical basement nerds and being a girl in that community it was a little uncomfortable since a lot of them hadn't spoke to a real women before.

With Ratchet's new personalty it concerned you a little bit with his sudden change of character, you where worried that the Synth-En was a type of drug for there kind and taking large doses caused side effects. You wanted to talk to Ratchet your theory but you had a gut feeling that he wouldn't listen to you, so you talked to Optimus instead about your concern and your thoughts about the Synth-En. Optimus listened to you as you spoke to him, seeing the concerned look you where giving him it gave him the excuse in talking to Ratchet about the synthetic energon.

You thought that maybe Optimus could talk some sense into Ratchet, however you didn't know how wrong you where. The only thing you where right about was the Synth-En effecting Ratchet's mind, the repressed feelings that he had for had grown dark...to the point of obsession. It had grown worse when Optimus spoke to him and telling your concern for him, he felt hurt that you had spoke to optimus first and not him. Ratchet acted like it was no big deal and said that he would take it easy with the Synth-En, it was when Ratchet parted ways with Optimus that he had slammed his fist on the wall right next to him out of anger. Ratchet's eyes flashed red for a few seconds because of the emotional state he was in, the second his optics turned green once more was when he came up with a idea that he couldn't help but grin thinking of it.

The next day you decided to pay a little visit, your internet was out and you couldn't do your online work or school work. Of course you informed your boss about the no internet connect and they understood, arriving at the base you noticed how quiet the base was that made you a little confused

"Hello? Anyone here?" Not hearing anything in the base was a red flag for you, there's usually someone in the base and hearing how quiet it was almost concerned you. Being curious you decided to do a little investigating, after a few minutes you found the bots on benches, they looked like they where sleeping but something felt off to you. Even Optimus Prime was in the state of unconscious when you walked up close unaware that Ratchet was stand in front of the doorway.

"Hello (Y/N)." Hearing Ratchet's voice startled you as you turned and saw Ratchet, even looking at him it felt different to you that made you worry and keeping your distance from the bot

"Ratchet?...What did you do to them?"

"I'm happy you came by saves me the trouble." Ratchet said that so casually that it almost sent chills down your spine, it was also clear as day that he was still on the Synth-En. Before Ratchet reached you, your instincts kicked in and you ran under his feet and bolted as far as you could. You could hear heavy footsteps chasing after you and you didn't want to look back, the base was almost like a maze to you because of it's size. You luck had gotten worse when you lost your way, you planned on escaping with your car instead of entered the main area you had hit a dead end.

You screamed in shocked as he scooped you in his hand in a fast movement

"Easy (Y/N), I won't hurt you."

"Why are you doing this?" Was what you questioned in a panic unsure of what was happened and why Ratchet was acting out the way he was, then he gave you his answer

"I did it out of love." Him saying that confused you and it showed on your face

" What? Love?" Where the only two words that came out of your mouth, you didn't think Ratchet would use the word love and you where confused by why it had something to do with you

"I've been repressing my feels, at first I was denying them refusing to accept. But as of recently I finally came to terms with me emotions for you." You where more shocked than confused hearing that Ratchet confessed that was in love with you, then it hit it.

"The Synth-En? It is effecting your head like I thought." You inhaled sharpy as he lifts your chin with his finger for you to look directly at him, you tried to push away from him but saw that it wasn't effective

"Your not going to speak of what I've done are?" At first you didn't answer him but when his free hand turned into his surgical blade pointed the tip right at you it terrified you as he repeated

"Are you?" Imminently you nod your head no to him

"No...I won't say anything." Ratchet's face calmed down when you said those worse and his surgical blade retracted back to his normal hand as he started walking

"Happy to hear that (Y/N)." You where too scared to almost as but you managed to find your words

"Um...Ratchet? Can I ask you when you started having feelings for me?" Hearing you said that Ratchet smiled as he answered you

"I suppose you deserve to know. I guess it happened, it had stared when you wanted me to show you cybertronian blueprints. You actually listen and moved me." Your blood went cold hearing that your love for gundam models and there designs was what got you into the mess you where in now, you didn't know what was going to happen to you. He even told you that he didn't care that you where an organic, where terrified you even more in what was going to next. With Ratchet's new unstable state you didn't know what to expect

WOOO HOO CHARACTER ANALYSIS TIME this is about how optimus sees smokescreen n jack :)

(btw this my first analysis) ANYWAYS LET'S GO

just a heads up this is a LONG LONG POST to get ready! also i HAVENT SEEN THE ENDING OF PRIME YET

okay remember when ratchet said "optimus wasn't always before he was a prime -he was more like jack" AND REMEMBER HOW HE GAVE HIM THE MARTIX KEY? yeah optimus's sees a lot of former self in jack. he CLEARLY DOES same with smokescreen! the first time we saw smokescreen we knew he was a strategist, and prime knew that aswell. when smokey told him he was under the guidance of prime's MENTOR? yeah optimus knew both of them were destined for great things. all they did needed was guidance and maturity. because BOTH did something stupid that was motivated by brashness, remember when Jack was beefing with a bully? he was being immature, BUT he apologized! he took fault for his actions! same with smokey, remember when he took jack(best bros) with him to a mission? yeah well he did and he was sorry! he even apologized to acree directly knowing he scared her the most with that stunt! he didn't even blame jack for going with(he could've, and jack would have gladly took the blame)BUT HE DIDNT! these two know when their wrong and will IMMEDIATELY backpedal if they hurt anyone of their family physically or emotionally! AND THIS IS WERE WE COME TO OPTIMUS! prime knows those two have their heart and spark in the right place, heck! smokey is literally destiny's child. prime REALLY REALLY REALLY sees his former self in these two. and he treated them as EQUALS to team prime not a human child, not a rookie soldier.(could also go for how he treats miko and raf aswell, he sees their potential. miko's high comparison for other's and raf's talent in tech) so when prime gave jack the "ground bridge key"(the matrix key thing), he was confident that jack will not only keep it safe but also figure out what to do with it when the time comes. if he'd given it to let's say acree she would've probably denied it, said ratchet is a better fit due to the fact she has knowledge about it's real purpose. the OTHER reason why he gave it to jack is because; he's a kid, a Human kid, he doesn't know it's real properties. his thoughts were "optimus gave me an important job to keep the ground bridge key safe, with me. I can't let him down" It's his first real solo task! heck he even said "shouldn't ratchet have this?" but prime assured him its his task to bare. as for smokescreen? prime was THIS CLOSE to giving him the matrix. when he was in the worst shape possible and losing hope, he's (nearly) dying words was bestowing smokey with the matrix. smokescreen kept refusing he CAN'T be a prime, if he was a prime that mean optimus is dead and he doesn't want optimus to die, he's his leader, his idol, his hero. he already went out of order with coming back, and he brought optimus the forge of solang(i think? i forgot it's name it the yellow hammer) he's train of thought was "get the hammer from the cons, give to prime, prime fixes himself and its all good!"when optimus told him "the hammer must be used to fix the omega locks -the life of one is not important as the lives of many"[paraphrasing]. smokescreen stuck with his gut, his original train of thought and his compassion for his (found)family. he went out of order again putting the hammer in prime's hand REFUSING that this is the end for Optimus prime. he was rewarded with ya know prime coming back and not dying and practically saving earth basically average day for the goat smokey. i would like to also mention when smokescreen was getting chewed out by acree, prime was trying to get her to stop(no hate towards the based queen acree btw she's awesome) and when smokey stormed off he let him leave, knowing he had some reflecting he needed to do. ALSO when jack backed down from team prime, he understood that, he was upset of course he gotten attached to those humans, but he respected his opinion and didn't force him at all.

Moral of the story prime is best dad, jack and smokey are bros4life and prime team is best family(cheers)

21 Asks! Thank you! :}} 🏁

I've thought about redeeming Starscream and his brothers here and there somehow. But I think the problem I have with TFP Screamer is he is SOOOOO power hungry.

I think even in season 3 when he got whipped into shape and started being a proper lieutenant, I have no doubt he would snuff out Megatrons spark if he got the chance. I cant see him being loyal to anyone but himself. Or even really believing in anyone else or any other cause.. it feels like he just wants all the power for himself and to do what he wants.

Now if I'm wrong here please correct me- if it actually seems really in character for Screamer (AND his two brothers) to get a redemption arc/proper second chance in TFP then I'm willing to give it a go! :000 I thought it would be fun for them to be a thorn in Megatrons side as stupid lieutenants but an Autobot redemption arc is something I'm always willing to explore! :)))

I think you're right actually, in my opinion I think Ratchet would have a better understanding of internet memes than any other bot.

Some people might think Bee would understand better. But the truth is him and Ratchet are both cybertronians. Just because Bee is younger doesn't mean he automatically has a more based sense of humor. Their level of understanding of internet humor boils down to how much of the internet they have been exposed to. Which I think Ratchet has had the most exposure.

Not that's not to say he really understands it or finds it all funny. But its more like-

Arcee: "What... what even is this image. What am I looking at..??"

Ratchet: "Ah, that is another one of those "meme" things. It is meant to be a humorous image that humans send to each other to make them laugh."

Arcee: "...So.. how is funny..? What does it mean?"

Ratchet: "I have absolutely no idea."

@flutehammer

I have :0 I think I'll only want to watch it if its based around the Octopod and its crew. If it branches out to all the Octoagents I don't think I'll be interested <:/

Monster trucks are not in demolition derby's- <:0 Monster trucks are in Monster Jams and demolition derby's consist of normal sized cars.

As for the separate events, They wouldn't want to be in a demolition derby, cuz that would be painful 💀 but I'm sure a lot of them would have fun watching it :00

And none of them would be able to participate in a Monster Jam even if they wanted to. The bots that would be interested don't have a big enough frame to transform int a monster truck :( but they could at least watch them! Just like Bulkhead and Miko! :)

I imagine that would be very irresponsible of them XD so much for laying low. But I can see Vega, Miata and Zippy daydreaming about it. 😅

@florafandoms

Aww! :D Thank you so much! :))) And I watch a TFP playlist here on YouTube. So far the playlist is still up! :}

@milk-powrit

Actually now that you mention this, all 4 of the factual fam couldn't walk at first after becoming a drawing.

I always meant to draw comics over time of them slowly getting better and better at walking. But never got around to it.

In present day I guess I can say all that development was behind the scenes and they can all walk just fine now <XD

I don't think they'd pull any pranks on me of any kind. They wouldn't want to upset or confuse me in anyway. But boy would they probably mess with each other XDD Jangles and Cici especially.

I couldn't really put the gifs in this ask post <XD but I've always imagined trying to animate my fam and I wanted them to be very smooth and soft looking. Like Disney animation or something James Baxter would animate.

Bibi and Cici especially, smooth and flowy :0 Maybe someday I'll try to animate that....

I feel like Jangles would really dig that :00

@lilylink

AAAAA THANKYOU! :DDD 💞💞💞

I hate to day it, but his voice drives me up the wall 😅💔I cant watch anymore playthroughs of the demo because his voice annoys me so much. <:/

As for the fam. I feel like Gerald might have what it takes. But the other three would be a bit camera shy <XD Bibi especially.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the Stephen King or Harry Potter cars.. but I'm sure they'd have an interest in Doc Hudson! :D

I do that once in a while if I get an ask that inspires me. :0 But I don't think I'd want to do that regularly <XD That feels kind'a like I'd be roleplaying which would be kind'a weird for me-

@glitchhayden418

don't call me that 🫵👁️👁️🗡️

Also Walter sounds like a great name XDD But if not that then maybe Timone?

Bibi XDD

@randomfandomarts

There's more than one?? :0 I had no idea! If I could get my hands on them somehow maybe I'd be motivated to read them :000

@beryl-shade

I'd say its Bibi :0 And not just because he's actually the eldest sibling XDD Its also because he is usually the voice of reason and keeps the other 3 out of trouble. 🤭

@digi-vie

AAAWWWWW FLUFFY BABYEEEEEE😭😭💞💞💞

(First link in ask) (Second link in ask)

Aww, she seems so sweet in those two videos! 🥰🥰

Oh boy- I hope they don't make a cruddy movie just for the money 💔

Hello!! I love your writing so much!

Could i request TFP bumblebee optimus and rachet with Buddy being a ghost? Buddy keeps it a secret cuz they dont want to scare the other humans and not confuse the bots out of their wits... but as time passes they notice buddy rarely eats or sleeps and sometimes if they look REALLY close they see buddy floating ever-so-slightly from the floor? Their cover gets blown when a vehicon shoots directly at buddy but the bullet goes right through them.. buddy out of fear fades out but comes back later to the base

how would the bots react? Would they be mad that buddy's been lying to them? Buddy does feel a bit guilty for hiding this from them

Ghost Buddy thought they could go so far in this war before without getting hurt.

Hope you enjoy!

Human Buddy being a ghost with Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and Ratchet

SFW, mention of injury, Buddy is a ghost, Platonic, Human Reader

TFP

Buddy didn’t remember how long they had been a ghost for.

Time sort of blurred together after a while.

When they came across the Autobots, they decided to tag along for the ride.

They didn’t expect to get so attached to them and the humans.

They were way too far in the rabbit hole to tell them about their… situation.

So, they figured if they played their cards right, they could pretend to be ‘normal’, at least for a little while longer. Until they found the right conversation to talk to them about.

The bots did find it a bit odd seeing Buddy wide awake at all hours of the day. Also, well as never seeing them eat any sort of food.

But they figured that they probably did while they weren’t looking.

Then the Vechicon attack happened. The shot went straight through them.

Now they all know that that isn’t normal for anything living.

Buddy has some explanation to do.

Buddy does feel a bit guilty from not telling the bots, their friends, about this, but at the same time they don’t.

They have been on this Earth long enough to know that not many people react well to seeing a ghost.

Buddy just didn’t want to lose their only friends right now. They needed this to last a bit longer so they didn’t have to roam the Earth alone again.

Who would be mad at Buddy

These Bots have the right to be angry with Buddy. They essentially lied to them, withheld most important information from them. There is a good chance that there will be a bit of hostility towards Buddy for a bit. It won’t last long though. They would be angrier with the fact they didn’t realize this sooner. They will be more open to hear Buddy’s reason’s when they have calmed down.

Ratchet

Bumblebee

Who would be more surprised than mad

They would be more surprised than upset by the realization that Buddy is a ghost. They have been communicating with a ghost for a long time and they never knew. More questions start coming out concerning Buddy’s life than their reason why they kept this a secret. They know that Buddy kept it for a reason, and they want to know why, but they won’t force it out.

Optimus Prime

Bumblebee

TFP Predacon Smokescreen AU

Part 3 - Rookie Mistakes

Over the next few days, Smokescreen did his best to keep his head down, while simultaneously observing the autobots. And trying not to let his anxiousness show.

He knew being here, among these bots, was risky. He had no doubt they'd turn on him if they discovered the truth. With that in mind, he assessed the team.

Optimus Prime was obviously the most dangerous. Aside from the fact he was a Prime- being the team leader meant he had complete sway over the team.

The medic was in relatively high standing, and close to the Prime. If he had to assign one of the team members as 'second in command', it would be them. Even though most of the time it appeared they were engrossed with work at the base computer, they managed to be aware of all the base happenings.

Aside from them, it wasn't really clear how the others ranked. It almost seemed to shuffle with each mission, playing to everyone's strengths.

A smart tactic, but really annoying when you're trying to figure out the pecking order.

Another thing he had to consider was the native lifeforms of earth, the humans. The autobots were extremely protective of them. Bulkhead, Arcee and Bumblebee each had a human partner who was practically by their side at all times. There was also Agent Fowler, but he didn't seem to hang around with the autobots like the kids did, as he had yet to formally meet them.

Two of the humans were currently in the base's loft. Jack was sitting on the couch, while Miko was practically leaning over the railing, trying to give Bulkhead encouragement.

"Bulk, you have to get yourself out of this funk!"

Bulkhead let out a defeated groan, "What's the use?"

Smokescreen didn't know the details, but it appeared that the large green bot had been injured on a recent mission- and he was clearly taking it pretty hard.

Smokescreen had to acknowledge how much the autobots cared about their injured team member. They wouldn't let Bulkhead do, well, anything, until he was fully healed.

But because of that, Smokescreen knew the least about Bulkhead, combat or otherwise.

"You need to regain your strength," the medic insisted, "the time will come when-"

Bulkhead angrily cut him off, "When what? When all of you will need an assist?? Isn't that what the new guy's for?!"

Smokescreen took that as his chance to interject. He had managed to convince them to use the phase shifter, perhaps it's time to dust off more of these relics and put them to good use.

"Hey Bulkhead! I've been thinking," Smokescreen  began as he approached, "With your injury and all, you might want to take advantage of the armor I snagged from Starscream."

He made a point to use the decepticon's name, he was relieved the human hadn't yet brought up his slip up. He'd have to be more careful going forward.

He extended the relic towards Bulkhead, "Instant muscle suit!"

With the extra strength it had granted the flier, no doubt it could offer support to their injured leg, which would then allow him to participate in the field. Helping Bulkhead would gain his favor, and help further improve his standing among the autobots.

But instead, Bulkhead's face twisted in anger, causing Smokescreen to flinch.

"You think I need a crutch?!" He yelled as he transformed out his melee weapon.

Smokescreen's door wings went rigid, he hadn't expected his suggestion to upset Bulkhead. But now, it looked like he wanted to attack him.

Smokescreen instinctively braced as Bulkhead raised his arm. It looked like he was going to attack him-

But instead of striking Smokescreen, he struck the compressed armor out of his hands, sending it careening into a monitor. The screen short curcuited and sparked letting out a pitiful series of beeps as it went offline.

"Bulkhead I needed that!!" Ratchet snapped angrily.

Bulkhead only made some annoyed grumbles in response as he walked away shoving past Smokescreen, "Outta my way rookie."

Smokescreen bristled against the touch of their weapon, squashing a growl before it could climb his throat.

Sharply reminding himself that it would be best to pretend to be vechiformer.. especially since the only beastformer he'd seen was being stored next to the relics. And he wasn't keen on joining them.

Bulkhead stomped his way across the base, continuing to grumble. Finally he picked up a ball of scrap metal and began to do some exercises.

Smokescreen let out a sigh of relief, as they seemed to be focusing their anger into their recovery.

"Looks like he's fit for duty to me!" Smokescreen announced with a flick of his doorwings, forcing them into a relaxed position.

Ratchet muttered and rolled his eyes, clearly disagreeing with Smokescreen's assessment.

Miko however, gave Smokescreen a thumbs up from her perch in the loft.

He offered Miko a smile, glad they acknowledged his efforts for their friend. Perhaps gaining the humans' trust first would be an easier place to start-

"Whoa Smoke- you've got quite the set of chompers!" Miko exclaimed as she once again leaned over the railing.

Smokescreen instinctivley slapped a hand over his mouth. He had hoped not to draw attention to his sharp canines. Not all of his teeth were pointed, but among the autobots they might as well be.

Miko was clearly taken aback by his reaction, before realization crossed her face.

"Oh- I didn't realize you were self-conscious, I mean-" she fumbled her apology, instead switching to try and reassure him, "I think it's cool-!"

"No, it's fine.. Just ..Not many autobots have sharp teeth," he admitted quietly.

Smokescreen had to admit, it was wishful thinking that they hadn't noticed something so obvious. He just hoped they wouldn't pick up on anything else...

"Twenty-five percent of cybertronians have sharp teeth." Ratchet stated bluntly without looking away from the computer, "Though the statistic doesn't hold up now, as it's uncertain how many cybertronians are even left."

"You've gotta be kidding Raf- you of all people grounded?" Jack exclaimed in disbelief from his seat on the couch

"Translation, he got an A-minus instead of A," Miko shrugged.

"Grounded?" Smokscreen quuetly echoed in confusion.  Was the human term 'grounded' as literal as it sounded..? After all, humans didn't look like they were capable of flight...

"Until I can get these grades up, I'm off team prime," Raf regrettably informed them.

The explanation left him just as confused as before he had asked.

Raf not being at base worked in Smokescreen's favour- as it was one less set of eyes on him. But he couldn't help but feel bad for them.

Being grounded.. was usually a death sentence, at least in the wilds. But from how unbothered the other humans reacted, it mustn't be as harsh here on earth.

.

.

.

Smokescreen quickly got assigned busy work. He stacked empty energon cubes in silence, taking the chance to try to sort out the situation he had found himself in.

He had made it to Earth with minimal issues.. but he wasn't sure what he should do next.

He had heard rumors of Earth, supposedly it was one of the planets predacons fled to, to escape the extermination at the hand of the primes.

A planet so deep into Unicron's territory no cybertronian would ever dare venture to- or so they had thought.

The fact that these bots were even here was worrying, had they chased the predacons all the way here? Were there any still hiding on this planet, or had they been forced to flee again?

The old bot had instructed him to tell the truth, that these autobots would not hurt him- that they would help him... But, he couldn't believe that. He wasn't going to just tell them he was a predacon- not with a prime among them. Smokescreen shuddered, him finding out was a garenteed death sentence.

The key that thanks to to modelock was stuck in his subspace. The only way for him to access it would be for the autobots to remove his modelock. Currently, he didn't see an outcome where he made it out in one piece..

Of course he wanted the mode lock removed, but he didn't trust these bots- despite the old mech's promises, he couldn't be sure they wouldn't just kill him to get the relic.

Even so, he would remain here for now, playing the loyal autobot soilder. At least until a better outcome presented itself.

.

.

.

A raised voice annouced the arrival of Agent Fowler. Smokescreen made his way to the base's main area, joining the gathering autobots.

He wasn't sure if it was his lack of time with bots who weren't predacons, or his limited time on Earth with the humans- but alot of Fowler's info packed rant was going over his head.

From what he could decifer- the decepticons gotten their hands on a weapon. A satellite that shot lasers.

Though he was baffled why the humans had decided to invent such a weapon. He had to admit, sometimes the humans scared him. If the primes had created a weapon like that during the extermination... well, he doubted he'd be standing here to think about it.

Optimus Prime quickly gathered a team for the mission. Bumblebee, Arcee, the Prime and himself would be going to prevent the decepticons from gaining control of the weapon.

Ratchet activated the ground bridge for the team. Smokescreen tried his best not to react to the sudden rush of smells, opting to hold his breath as he followed the autobots through the portal. Just one more thing he had to get used to.

Smokescreen eagerly accepted his role. He hoped to stay on the autobots good side, at least until he figured out what he was going to do next. He decided to focus on the mission for now, rather than get caught up in his own thoughts again.

As soon as they stepped out, they were forced to scatter as blaster bolts whizzed past them. They quickly found cover behind some rocks.

"The decepticons have proceeded us," Optimus announced as he transformed his hand into a gun, "We must secure the command center."

Optimus abandoned their cover, returning fire as he advanced.

Smokescreen followed, he didn't want to risk transforming out his guns with the others so closeby, in case he couldn't. He knew he'd never be able to talk his way out of their questions.

Instead he took advantage of his the autobots' cover fire and rushed forward through a break in the enemy's forces. The vechicons swiveled to face him, leaving him surrounded.

He dodged their punch and grabbed their arm, quickly twisting it as he kicked out their legs causing the metal to twist and break as they crumpled to the ground.

Perfect. Smokescreen barred his teeth, he swatted the closest gun to the side as they attempted to fire at him.

He turned to the next one, then the next one. Efficiently taking down each vechicon. He wasn't sure where he had learned to fight like this... but he knew he was an expert at close combat.

One of the decepticons tackled him, sending them both tumbling through the dirt. Pain shot through his doorwings as they scrapped against the ground, he grappled and twisted. As their momentum slowed Smokescreen ended their roll by slamming the vechicon into the ground, pinning it beneath him.

He punched their helm and face, quick solid strikes. He missed his claws... he missed his fire.

He snapped his head upwards, to find a beam of light decending straight towards him. He barely had time to scramble out of the way, before the beam struck ground.

The ground around him suddenly grew brighter. He paused, the air felt different. Almost like it was charged with static, and getting warmer.

As quick as it appeared it was gone. Leaving a small crater filled with the charred, twisted remains of the vechicon. Smokescreen grimaced, he wasn't keen on seeing if his plating would hold up any better.

"Fall back!" Optimus ordered urgently. The light followed close on their heels, chasing their retreat. Optimus called the base, "Ratchet we require backup,"

The sky lit up again, this time when the beam struck the earth it moved, slowly dragging its destruction towards the autobots.

Smokescreen was too busy dodging the barrage of fire from the vechicons and sky to pay attention to the further chatter over the commlink.

The only thing bringing in backup would do was give the decepticons at most two more targets. Which wasn't exactly going to change their predicament.

No matter what they tried, whenever the autobots gained any ground towards the command center, they were immediately forced back by the laser.

Smokescreen darted towards and opening in the decepticons ranks, perhaps if he stayed in closer to their foes they wouldn't fire at him.

That thought was immedeatley disproven as the beam almost hit him, only barely managing to leapt out of the way in time. It appeared they had no qualms with friendly fire.

"Autobots, we must draw its fire to distract from Rafael's efforts." Optimus Prime ordered.

Smokescreen had no clue how the human was going to help, but he wasn't in a position to question it. Each time the Damocles fired, it got closer and closer to hitting one of them.

"Somehow I don't think that'll be a problem," Arcee said as she jumped and transformed, quickly swerving away from the beam. The others followed suit, opting to drive rather than run from the laser.

That left only Smokescreen on foot, lagging behind the group. Any easy target.

-he wasn't fast enough . . .

Smokescreen yelped as the staticy memory fail to form, only able recall the panic that gripped his spark.

"Smokescreen transform! You'll be faster on wheels-!" Arcee urged over the roar of her engine.

"That'd help, now wouldn't it," Smokescreen muttered under his breath as he pushed himself to run faster, the light hot on his heels was more than enough motivation.

He wished more than anything that he could transform right now... to use his agile wings to out maneuver the weapon's rays. Sadly running was going to have to cut it for now.

He wove around the crators and ducked shots from the decepticons.

Whoever was firing the damocles was either getting better at using it, or had singled out Smokescreen as the easiest target. It felt like every other shot was being aimed at him.

At least their distraction plan seemed to be working.

If you could call running for your life a plan.

Smokescreen was forced to skid to a halt as once again the laser fell from the sky, dragging a line of destruction towards him. He pivoted and ran, it was close. Too close.

He didn't have enough space to be weaving back and forth to try and lose it. The ominous rumble of the ground being torn up behind him was closing in on his heels.

A lucky shot from a vechicon clipped his knee, sending him tumbling to the ground. He didn't dare look back as he forced himself back to his feet, the blaster bolt hadn't penitrated his armor but the shot still managed to trip him up.

The prickling sensation across his door wings told him that the ray was far too close for comfort.

He was so focused on evading the beam chasing him, on running faster- that he was completely caught off guard by Optimus's alt mode slamming into his side. Knocking the wind out of him and sending him sprawling to the ground.

He quickly righted himself doorwings flared, to face the Prime, to figure out what had prompted their aggression-

But halted as he abruptly realized it hadn't been an attack. The Prime had pushed him out of the way, risking his life to save his own.

Autobot loyalty sure wasn't something to sneeze at. As tight knit as a pack... And as long as he kept his cover, they would have his back.

"Smokescreen, are you alright?" Optimus inquired. Smokescreen didn't realize a truck could look concerned.

"Yeah," he gasped, trying to catch his breath, "I could do this all day."

Despite his attempt to put on a brave face, the Prime clearly wasn't fooled.

"No need, I fear that Bulkhead requires immedeate backup."

Smokescreen couldn't help but think the Prime was just getting him out of the way, being stuck in his bot mode made him the easiest target.

But he didn't argue. Instead Smokescreen nodded, accepting the new task, "On it,"

As he made his way off the battlefield he heard the soft ping of coordinates being received.

He didn't bother opening it. He wasn't overly familiar with using coordinates, even less so on this planet. Instead he opted to track the wrecker by scent, after all, there was only so many cybertronians on Earth.

He followed Bulkhead's trail to a human neighborhood, their scent lead through it, but Smokescreen went around. Sticking to the shadows to stay out of sight, it was a task he was more than familiar with.

The grass and dirt qucikly turned back to concrete as the echos of metal striking metal grew louder and louder, paired with raised voices.

He didn't slow down as the cement switched from flat to a steep angle.

Ahead of him, down the incline Bulkhead was laying on the ground. An unfamiliar bot towering menacingly over him, preparing for another strike.

Smokescreen transformed out his gun- or tried to. A sharp tug from under his plating stalled the transformation, leaving his arm plating at odd angles, half transformed.

He pushed through the strange feeling and continued to charge Bulkhead's attacker, sending them crashing to the ground several feet away.

Bulkhead looked up to him with surprise. Smokescreen held his half transformed arm behind his back, hoping they wouldn't notice.

He banging his free hand on his chest, a masked attempt to dislodge the modelocks cables, before he offered Bulkhead his hand, "Assist, what the new guy's for," he smiled, pulling Bulkhead back to his feet.

They both turned to face their foe,

"One new guy to another," the strange mech tilted their head from one side to another as they spoke, neck cables creaking, making noises no healthy bot should. Their cracked faceplate almost seemed to move delayed to their words, "this is your final day on the job,"

The bot set Smokescreen on edge. Something was wrong.. the bot looked wrong... they smelled dead- dead like they had been left to rot.

He didn't have time to dwell on it, as the strange bot let out a rattley yell and charged the duo.

Smokescreen and Bulkhead jumped back, sidestepping the attack. Causing Cylas to end up between them.

His first instinct was that they were split up by their attacker, before he realized- no, they were surrounding him.

Bulkhead landed a punch that sent them stumbling backwards right into a kick from Smokescreen. Cylas responded by whipping around, leading with their hammer.

Smokescreen raised his arm to block- the strike made contact with his half transformed arm, sending a shock of pain throughout his entire frame. Smokescreen cried out as he skidded backwards from the force, gripping his arm.

He quickly jerked his hand back as peices rolled, finally completed its delayed transformation.

He shook his head as he ducked another strike. He didn't need a gun right now. If he missed the shot, he'd end up hitting Bulkhead. He needed his hand. Instinctively he tried to switch it back, but swore under his breath as his arm plates got stuck again.

He rammed his shoulder into Cylas, he didn't have time for this.

Bulkhead took another turn exchanging blows as Smokescreen tried his best to quickly pry at his plating to force it back into place.

Cylas immedeately noticed that Smokescreen's focus wasn't fully on the fight and switched his attention back to him, swinging their hammer in wide arcs towards him.

Smokescreen jumped backwards out of reach, and then back again, before gritting his teeth and slamming his half-transformed arm across their face. Metal splintered and bent, digging into Cylas' faceplate, as well as back into his own arm.

As soon as Bulkhead saw energon trickling down Smokescreen's arm, he jumped forward drawing Cylas' attention back to him. The wrecker finally landed a series of strikes that left Cylas on the ground.

Smokescreen picked up on the faint crackle of Cylas' commlink activating, and soon after a groundbrige formed nearby.

Cylas scrambled to his feet, firing a rocket at them as a final attack to cover his retreat. They both dove out of the way. As the dust cleared they saw him fleeing through the bridge.

Smokescreen caught a glow coming from the sky out of the corner of his eye. He turned, expecting the damocles to be firing upon them.

But instead, he saw streaks of fire falling down, breaking apart more and more until they fizzled out.

Fading into the dark sky...

It felt like something was gripping his spark, dizziness pulling at his processor... he was forgetting something. Something important...

Then Bulkhead spoke- snapping him back to reality,

"Looks like someone's big plan just burned up in re-entry," Bulkhead chuckled and he raised a hand for a high five, which Smokescreen accepted. Forgetting his arm's dull ache until they made contact. He winced as a few drops on energon flicking off his plating.

"You alright?" Bulkhead asked, trying to take a look at his arm.

But Smokescreen quickly snatched it away, "Just a scratch." He assured, "Besides, anyone who's rolling with a wrecker has to be tough, right?"

Bulkhead let out a hearty laugh, "There's hope for you yet, newbie."

.

.

.

Bulkhead drove ahead, his injury still made walking long distances difficult for him. He had expected Smokescreen to join him, but didn't press when Smokescreen urged him to go on ahead, and that he would see him back at base.

Smokescreen walked slowly, the darkened desert was so peaceful. His eyes had already adjusted to the dim light and he could see the many night critters beginning to emerge.

This planet still managed to surprise him with the variety of life thrived here.

It did worry him that he was yet to see any sign of predacons. He didn't know how long he had been in stasis, between the escape pod and his time in library storage... Primus knows how much time had passed.

He tried to stay positive, if they had been living on Earth for so long, the predacons must have perfected staying out of sight.

He felt the now familiar feeling of a foggy memory forming just of out reach...

But this one flashed before his eyes, cutting sharply through the static.

He was crouched low, stalking through dense cybertronian foliage. He could hear someone else nearby, echoing his movements, following his lead-

He blinked and it faded again, but it wasn't gone. He remembered. And now that now he could recall it, he couldn't believe he'd ever have forgotten.

Hunting in the wilds of Cybertron with his pack.

But.. what did they look like? What was their names? How much more he was forgetting? Would it come back to him in time? Or would he only ever recall fragments of his past..?

Still, the memory warmed his spark. He decided not to focus on the uncertainty, rather the hope it presented.

However, his elevated mood was short lived, as Arcee confronted him as soon as he walked through the base door.

"Did you walk all the way back?" She crossed her arms and scolded, "Someone could have seen you,"

"I was careful-" he defended, his own words echoed in his mind, but in someone else's voice... he shook his head, trying to focus on the present instead of the fragemented past. "Besides, I thought maybe I'd see something I could scan-"

"You still don't have an alt mode?" She asked in disbelief, "Is that why you were a sitting duck out there??"

"Well, I.. " he began, trying to figure out how to spin another excuse. Before he let out a defeated sigh, he had to take some responsibility- he had slowed the team down.

"First thing tomorrow I'll find my set of wheels, promise." He assured her.

It was a promise he knew wouldn't be able to keep, another lie that would only delay the inevitable...

Arcee looked like she had more to say, but Ratchet's gruff voice addressed him from across the room, interrupting before she could continue. "Smokescreen,"

Great, what else had he done that warranted scolding? Smokescreen slowly made his way over to the autobot medic.

"Bulkhead informed me you sustained an injury," Ratchet continued as soon as he didn't have to yell.

"Oh- yeah, it's just a scratch- no big deal." He tried to brush him off, but the old medic wasn't giving up that easily.

"I'll be the judge of that. Small injuries can turn into bigger problems if left untreated." Ratchet insisted.

Reluctantly, Smokescreen followed Ratchet to the autobot's med bay. He hadn't actually been in any form of clinic before, any injuries sustained by him or his pack had always just healed with time.

The area smelled strongly of disinfectant, so much so that it immediately gave him a headache. Even though it looked a bit cobbled together, every surface was meticulously scrubbed clean and organized.

Smokescreen hesitantly held out his arm for Ratchet to inspect. Eyeing their movements with suspicion. He didn't want the medic so close, injury or not. They were the most likely out of the team to notice Smokescreen's differences.

"How did this happen?" Ratchet inquired with a frown.

"I... hit the guy when my arm was still transforming." Smokescreen thought quickly, so his explanation wasn't too far from the truth.

If he sustained anymore injuries like this in the future, he'd have to figure out more lies...

Ratchet muttered disaprovingly as he quickly cleaned the wound. "Don't go pulling stupid stunts like that again, you hear?" Ratchet warned, as he retrieved a faintly glowing cube and held it out to Smokescreen, "Here, you need to get back what you spilled."

"Oh, I'm actually alright-" He tried, but Ratchet just gave him a stern look and pushed the cube into his hands.

"Doctor's orders," he insisted.

Smokescreen finally accepted the cube and slipped away, down the hallway and away from the base's main area.

He shifted the foreign object around in his hands.

Smokescreen hadn't actually drank from an energon cube before. He did drink energon, but never from a cube. Predacons hunted creatures like scraplets and sparkeaters, eating their metal and drinking their energon. He didn't want anyone to see him struggling with something they would consider an everyday task.

Once he was satisfied with being out of sight, he inspected the cube. There was a solid layer of blue enclosing the familiar blue liquid.

Did he have to bite through the outer shell, like eating a scraplet?

He hooked his fang over a corner and chewed at it, but it was an awkward angle... and the rest of the bots didn't have sharp teeth like he did. This was completely impractical-

He was interupted by a quizzical chirp.

Smokescreen jumped, he had been so focused on the energon cube that he had failed to notice Bumblebee walk down the hallway.

"Uh-! I'm fine, just hungry. Heh," he laughed uncomfortably.

Bumblebee gave him a curious side eye as he took a sip from his own cube.

Smokescreen watched him, then mimicked his movements. Raising the cube to his mouth, he was still wasn't getting any energon, clearly he was missing something...

Bumblebee reached over and gently bumped Smokescreen's cube, finally tipping it enough for him to get a drink. Smokescreen coughed a bit at the sudden rush of liquid.

Bee whirred, trying to assure him,

"You should see how some of the others get when they're hungry. The humans have a term that sums it up perfecrly- hangry ."

Bumblebee let out a few chrips that Smokescreen assumed to be laughter.

Smokescreen mumbled trying to hide his embarrassment, before continuing to drink from his cube.

Bumblebee made a soft trilling noise, before walking back down the hallway to the main base area.

As soon as they were out of earshot Smokescreen let out a groan and dragged a hand down his face. His web of excuses and lies needed alot of work.. and it just kept growing. He knew that sooner or later his story would fall apart, and he was going to be found out.

[lets-try-some-writing]

jack, miko and raf cracking their bones around the bots without thinking much about it. sometimes its quiet enough to go unnoticed, but other times it’s so loud that it echoes throughout the base. this amuses the teens. this stresses out the bots.

Oh gosh.

Ratchet wants to gag every. single. time. Cracking like that is not normal for any Cybertronian unless they have serious issues with either transformation or mobility. Hearing it in the humans gives him images of spinal struts being shattered and other essentially components breaking on the battlefield. He doesn't mind the quieter pops, he can handle those with a grimace. But the loud ones in short succession have caused him to almost purge on occasion simply because he gets horrifying images of the squishy parts of the humans squelching to produce the sound. He knows it's an irrational thing to be so upset about, but squishes as a whole do not make him comfortable.

Bulkhead tries hard to not jump every single time one of the kids pop their knuckles. He almost lost his scrap when Rafael cracked his back after sitting at his computer for too long. He briefly worried the child had broken his spine. Even after confirming that everything was fine, he still has not gotten over the stress of the popping. He almost screamed when Miko did a backbend and cracked her entire upper back. Wheeljack was not much better at first and grimaced, worrying if he needed to run to a medic or hide a body.

Smokescreen has not and never will get used to the popping. He flees the room as soon as any popping sound is made. It reminds him too much of blaster fire. Bumblebee just thinks its gross. He's not worried all that much since the kids are like jello. However his door wings tend to dip or stiffen up when the kids walk by popping their knuckles.

Arcee just grimaces when the kids do the popping. However secretly she has made a few attempts to see if she can do it too. There must be a reason for it after all.

Optimus likes to check the children's hands after their attempts to bother him. He is always on edge when they pop their fingers even though it has been confirmed that they are fine. He will tenderly assess their joints as much as he is able and try not to react when they go around doing the popping again. His finials give him away.

Ultra Magnus has funeral plans waiting in his room, just in case. He's not concerned, just more annoyed and unsettled than anything else. He is waiting for the day one of the kids breaks something serious and he needs to explain to June what in Primus's name happened.

[the-derpy-duck]

Tf one! Tf one! Tf one!

Gonna spoil everything please go watch the movie it’s the greatest transformers movie ever made go watch it I need a sequel please go watch it it is 100% worth it 10/10

Hey so like this movie is really fucking funny? Bumblebee is actually just insane and he’s so caring and I love him. He’s my cringy little boy who has never talked to anyone ever. He lives in the dumpster. Elita one is also funny. She’s so fucking done with dumbasses 1-3. Although the part where everyone was like ‘hey follow protocol’ when not following protocol means Jazz gets to live was a bit crazy. But it makes sense and Optimus going back for Jazz really just makes his chances of dying with him much higher. But it’s Jazz. We all love Jazz. No one wants to see Jazz get crushed. Look at him at the end of the movie he’s so happy to have his little wings he’s Jazzzzz.

If the high I felt from watching this movie is half of what people get from ecstasy then I totally get why people would do it. I don’t think I’ve ever felt that much joy in that little amount of time. I could not sit still. My chest actually hurt. It was amazing. I was able to recognize characters and I was just like ‘JAZZ! JAZZ! WAIT IS THAT RATCHET? PROWL? SIDESWIPE AND SUNSTREAKER????? YESSS! ARCEE!! SKYWARP! RARARARARARA’ and I understand that I am weird for this. But it was so much fun. And I was laughing and getting upset with the characters. And the animation is so good and cybertron is soooo pretty. I love the deer and although the quintsons are a minor part of this movie I think they’ll play a much bigger role in the sequel that’s hopefully coming. I want to see more of the characters. I want to see how Megatron will interact with the other decepticons. I want skywarp to get more lines (I’m 99% sure that he was the guy who said ‘what’ when Optimus said ‘we roll out’). I want to see how the other autobots interact. I want to see Sunstreaker do literally anything. I want to see more of this story and more of this world.

D16 is great. I really like him and I like how pissed he is at Orion and how he snaps. Orion pushed him into a lot of situations he really didn’t want to be in and he’s done saving Orion. And like. He’s also not really wrong about killing Sentinel. Like killing is inherently inhumane, but if it is the only way to preserve life then it is justifiably inhumane. And realistically, what else would they have done with him? He clearly has some backing from a guard of some sorts and connections to the quintisons, so he could ruin everyone’s lives again. The way he died was extra and there’s definitely a better way to kill him (“morally” speaking. There’s not a humane way to kill a persons outside of extreme circumstances, but some ways are definitely worse than others). But his death was also so cool. Like I was expecting Megatron to just shoot him but holy shit that was brutal. Also this is me being a little silly goose but I don’t think that his eyes are literally changing colors. I think the story is being told mainly through Optimus’s perspective, and the eye color shifting is metaphorical. The yellow to orange is a lot more subtle than the orange to red. When his eye color changes it’s not just when he’s changing (which is definitely also apart of it I think) but specifically when Optimus realizes that the change has occurred. Yellow and Blue and Orange and Blue also complement each other. Red and Blue are a bit more jarring when put next to each other imo. Like it’s based on nothing but my own weird little mind. But anyways, I don’t think Optimus jumped in front of sentinel because he gave a shit about sentinel. I think he jumps in front of Megatron’s gun because he desperately needs to save his friend. But it’s too late and they are now both unrecognizable to each other. Suddenly getting power and being suppressed his entire life coupled with sentinel’s betrayal caused D16 to snap. His entire life was a lie and a person he looked up to turned out to be the biggest piece of shit on cybertron. Also a thing I found really interesting was that the high guard/future decepticons chanted D16’s name when he was beating the shit out of starscream whereas with Orion the miners/future autobots changed his name after he gave a speech and was literally kneeling to be on their level.

Sentinel prime was really fun. I predicted that he would be revealed as a traitor entirely because he’s Sentinel. But it was still fun to see it happen. Also he’s beautiful. This is the best he has ever looked. The colors look great next to each other and the wings go hard. He’s very one dimensional but he makes the other characters around him have more dimensions because he’s so simple. And he doesn’t need to be complex. Keep It Simple Stupid. The movie is less than two hours long, it doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel. It knows how to use the wheel and it uses it great. Sentinel is an asshole and I really like him. The version of him that I have in my head is very different but I like asshole sentinel. Tfa Sentinel is great. Tf One Sentinel is great. I hope they both die <3

Also when D16 saw megatronus’s head? Amazing. Both of his hero’s (sentinel and Megatronus) died in that cave, literally and metaphorically. And the fact that this happened in a cave reminds of that one metaphor some dead guy came up with. Basically there’s these prisoners who are forced to stay in a cave and I think they might be tied upside down but one of them is able to leave the cave and discovers that there is more to the world than the cave and that they have also been upside down. When he tried to relay this to his friends they declare him to be a liar. It’s a basic little thing about discovering the truth or whatever I can’t articulate it very well. But that was Megatron’s cave moment. His entire life was a lie. He is existing the cave and he will never be the same. Was TF One actually just refrencing this? Probably not. BUT WAIT! The Cybertronians live underground, so that’s technically a cave. Everyone who is living in the underground city and who don’t go to the surface are in the dark. ITS THE CAVE AGAIN! AT THE END OF THE MOVIE THEY ARE ALL THAT THE SURFACE! THEY ALL LEFT THE CAVE!! I’m loosing my fucking mind if you couldn’t tell. Also the minors go into caves and they very much love sentinel. cave Cave CAVE

Starscream is really cool. We haven’t seen enough of him to get a gage on his morality or how big of a traitor he’ll be, but what’s been shown is really great. His motivations for challenging and goading D16 are unclear. Like he might be a masochist but probably not. Maybe he wants him to be the new leader. I wished that we saw more of screamer but what we got was pretty great. And I hope he gets to play a more major role in future movies. As well as soundwave and shockwave because although shockwave was really funny they unfortunately didn’t get to do much.

This version of Elita kicks ass. Scarlett Johansson does an excellent job of voicing her. Although it would have been funny if she voiced Arachnid. But she’s so cool and also funny. I loved when she told Orion that she was better than him at everything but having optimism. Her ripping off Arachnid’s leg and using it to beat her was fucking awesome. ‘I’m being gentle!’ I love her so much she’s so funny. Her anger towards being demoted motivating her to go along with the three idiots was good. I want to see more of her in general and I want to see how her dynamic with Optimus will change in the next movie. Like ‘next movie’ might not happen but I’m really hoping that it does. But even if it doesn’t the film is still amazing.

Chris Hemsworth does a great job voicing Optimus. I was really surprised and impressed. Like low key I was sort of expecting this to be a Chris Pratt Mario situation when I first heard he would be OP’s VA because I only knew him from the Marvel movies. But he does a great job. Bryan Tyree Henry does an excellent job voicing D16/Megatron. Like he might be my favorite Megatron voice. Like I love Scottish Megatron but this voice is soooo good. Every voice actor does a phenomenal job.

The animation is amazing. I love the backgrounds and the bridges that just appear. The surface of cybertron is so pretty and I love the general aesthetic. The fight scenes are so well done. They utilize transformations in the fight (like Optimus retracting his head like a turtle to dodge attacks) and that’s super cool! The facial expressions are also really good. When Optimus is telling Megatron to leave he looks so sad and it looks so real. These characters are all really expressive, including the background ones. Like I’ve seen a lot of redraws of Jazz looking at his wings and being all happy. Each background character looks unique and there are a lot of cameos and it was so much fun to look at them. A lot of love and effort was clearly put into this movie and it really shows. The eyes are so pretty, the backgrounds are so pretty, the characters become so shiny.

It’s a great movie and I think everyone should go watch it. I need this film to get a sequel.

[yes-i-write-fanfiction]

About that Barbie bot ask which I love! Can we get the reactions of the tfa bots and cons helping her out and her getting so excited and grateful she unexpectedly gives them a brief kiss before skipping off waving another thank you.

Barbie-bot is called Millisecond (or Millie for short) as suggested by @curespectra

-Optimus' processor comes to a screeching halt, unable to quite fathom what just happened. He makes it all back to base on autopilot, back into his private room, and it's only then that it finally sinks in. He covers his face with his servos as his face turns a brilliant blue as he blushes. Oh stars. He only now realizes just what a massive crush he's got on Millisecond. How is he supposed to look her in the optics now without thinking about that kiss? Impossible. He'll just have to hide away forever.

-Ratchet sputters, takes a step back, stares at Millie's retreating back, touches his lips and finally just loudly exclaims "WHAT". Look, kissing is a human thing but he knows what it means. He knows that it's meant to be something intimate, something done between lovers. And for the first time in millennia, Ratchet feels like he's a young newframe again, experiencing his first crush.

-It takes a few seconds for Bumblebee to compute what is happening. When it finally dawns on him, Millie is already leaving. Of course, he's going to follow because ok, wow, that was- that was GREAT. Greater than great, AMAZING. Bumblebee is trying so hard to come up with something smooth and suave to say but instead he stumbles over his pick up lines, acting like the flustered fool he is.

-Bulkhead's jaw drops. Literally. He stands there, frozen as he watches her Millisecond away and it's only when one of his friends intervene that he remembers that he has a body. The biggest, goofiest smile appears on his face and he practically skips back to base, immediately preparing a new canvas and starts painting because love is inspiring and he's got to express his feelings with art. If it turns out good then maybe he'll even give his crush the painting.

-As someone who prides himself with rarely being caught off guard, Prowl is, admittedly, caught off guard by the kiss. He gently touches his lips before retreating somewhere more private, somewhere where he can consider his feelings regarding what just happened. As cold as he might appear, Prowl is actually quite in tune with his own emotions and so he doesn't feel flustered or at a loss, simply befuddled. Befuddled and very, very happy.

-It takes a moment but then Megatron is smiling, well, more like smirking. He had originally only helped her out because he wanted to manipulate Millisecond, make her think that she can trust him, but this just made things much easier. He's familiar with the human gesture and its implications and so his mind is already conjuring up ideas on how to turn this into his favor. It doesn't hurt that Millisecond is also an incredibly attractive bot.

-Similar to Ratchet, Starscream freezes before letting out a loud "WHAT" that shatters windows, triggers car alarms and sends birds flying. He's not upset, just caught off guard. People don't feel grateful towards him, they just don't, and they especially don't express that gratefulness through physical intimacy! Once he's calmed down however, Starscream feels incredibly smug about it. Of course she would reward him with a kiss, he's such a gentleman after all. It goes straight to his ego.

-Blitzwing is swapping faces so fast it makes him dizzy. The face that got the kiss is immediately attacked by the other two because they are jealous and petty even at themself. Hothead is the worst affected because now he can't stop thinking about those soft lips on his and how it would feel like to actually kiss back and oh dear, he's got it bad. Meanwhile, Random wants Millie to take it a step further and actually eat his face. Icy is the only one even remotely normal about it all.

-Lugnut straight up screeches and trips over his own pedes as he scrambles backwards. Begone, temptress! He's happily conjuxed and faithful to his one true love! Secretly though, he can't stop his spark from spinning out of control because he's got a crush on Millie and it makes him feel so fucking guilty.

-Initially unfamiliar with this gesture, Shockwave does some research on what it means and when he does, oh boy. He's got to kill her now. It's the only way. Because his frame should not be burning so hot with an emotion that he can only call a crush. He does not know how to deal with this. This is, this is- lord Megatron, HELP!

-Blackarachnia is used to being the one doing the seducing so being on the other side of things throws all of her into a flustered mess. And it wasn't even meant to be seductive! It was just a token of appreciation, a way to show how grateful Millie felt. But somehow that only makes it worse! Blackarachnia is so out of depth, she doesn't know what to do.

I absolutely love ratchet so may I request yandere ratchet with a human prompt 53

I love Ratchet too :) I'd love to give you a small story about him and a human! I assumed you meant my prompts.

You gave no specific Ratchet so I just did his Prime appearance.

Note: I've been doing a lot of late night writing so I apologize if this is unorganized. This is essentially me being half asleep and indulging in my favorite character. It's content purely from the heart I guess, lol. I tried to keep up the plot so I hope it came out... coherent :)

Yandere! TFP! Ratchet Prompt 53

"I left you a few voice mails, why didn't you pick up?"

Pairing: Romantic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Paranoia, Overprotective behavior, Cybertronian/Human pair, Manipulation, Implied kidnapping, Dubious relationship, Deception.

Ratchet didn't used to like humans at first. He was already having to deal with three kids causing trouble in the base. When he met you, a young adult human, he wasn't sure what to think.

Turns out... you were tolerable. You genuinely wished to help out and keep the kids in line. Although even they seemed to be a handful for you.

Ratchet was still a bot who was hard to get along with at first due to his stubborn behavior. Despite this... Ratchet had begun to soften towards you over time. He began not to dislike humans all that much with time.

Honestly, it was you and the kids who helped him change his outlook.

When it came to you and Ratchet, you two could be considered partners. While Bulkhead had Miko, Bumblebee had Raf, and Arcee had Jack... Ratchet had you. Ratchet didn't think he'd ever have a human companion, he didn't even think he'd be attached...

Then he found you.

Ratchet had grown close to you because you provided companionship for him at the base. While the others were on a mission and he was meant to prepare Ground Bridges, you sat by his desk. You didn't talk unless he talked first when you were still getting to know each other.

Yet, soon Ratchet began looking forward to hearing your voice and seeing your small organic form. You just... provided him a sense of comfort. Your presence only ever proved useful when Ratchet began to stress himself out over the others.

A comment that was often tossed around was you being his emotional support. When Optimus wasn't around, Ratchet had you. You could say Ratchet cared for you at the very least.

Your companionship was different from the others. While when it came to the kids their respective Autobots acted like guardians... you and Ratchet were different. Your connection was beyond that of a guardian.

Sure, Ratchet was always protective, but it seemed like it was for different reasons. You never really knew how deep his attachment to you went yet it always felt different. You always seemed to ease him when you were around.

It wasn't hard to theorize what Ratchet really felt towards you. His softness around you felt intimate despite the differences between your species. It's some form of love, even if Ratchet never admits it.

This explanation felt the most plausible. It explained why Ratchet felt a yearning to connect with you more. Although such a feat only managed to frustrate him at times...

Your biological/biomechanical differences make it hard for him to display affection. He can only ever do small things. He can hold you, take you on drives, call you, talk to you, and he loves it but...

Intimacy, the thing he craves, is what upsets him at times when he looks at you.

Normally the thought might have repulsed him. The thought of hugging you or showing affection in the more romantic sense towards a human should be seen as foreign. Yet he wants it with you.

Such feelings are what's made Ratchet become more attached to you than a guardian. Based on how you act so positively around him, even when he picks you up... part of him hopes you feel the same. Surely... you won't mind being in a relationship with an old Cybertronian like him, would you?

He promises to himself he'll find a way to make an avatar to communicate with you with in the future.

The issue is, these feelings can also be seen as a weakness. Ratchet often grows distressed when you are away from him for too long. Yes, humans have their own lives to attend to...

He just wishes you'd spend more of your time at the base?

Ratchet didn't often talk about his problems, yet with you he felt it was important to voice his concerns. As a result you had given him a way to contact you when you're in your home. A phone number... one he often contacted.

He really didn't need the childish teasing, Primus he could hear it now. 'Ratchet's got a crush on a human'. He rolls his optics just thinking about it.

Yes, he loves you...yet it's normal. It has to be. He hasn't had a partner in a long time, if at all. Maybe he... wants to try something like that with you.

For now, Ratchet tried to focus on your safety. When he can find a way he'll share his romantic feelings with you. When he can properly convey them....

Gaining a way to talk to you made Ratchet relax a bit more. It gave him comfort whenever you texted him or gave him a call. Some say you can see Ratchet's mood change when you were on the phone. He physically relaxes his stance at the thought of you being safe and sound.

Optimus notices this change in his friend and his thought is he's happy for Ratchet. His friend has managed to find solace in a human like the others. Even if it's in a different way.

Being able to contact you is a double edged sword with Ratchet. While he's calmer with hearing your voice or seeing your texts, he appears snappy if he hasn't heard from you. Ratchet is never far from a way to contact you.

It's obsessive.

Ratchet would look distant when you don't respond right away, often looking at the screen with a frown. He hated being away from you at times. But you're busy with your own life and he is busy with his.

You'd soon learn not picking up when Ratchet calls is a mistake. Take a nap or go to work and Ratchet gets anxious. He expects you to pick up.

It would be so much easier if you were just right next to him...

He hopes he can do that some day once he perfects his hologram avatar technology.

"I left you a few voice mails, why didn't you pick up?"

Ratchet's gruff voice echoes through your phone. You had been away from your phone for a few hours and came back to voice mails of worried Ratchet. You originally thought it funny that he never wanted to be away from you for long, now it was concerning.

"I was busy, Ratchet..."

"Busy, huh? You're supposed to have your phone on you."

"What did I even miss? You know I have to have my own life here, right?"

Ratchet's silent on the phone, most likely grumbling to himself.

"Yeah yeah, I know. I have reasons to worry, however."

"Decepticons?"

"Yes. I don't know what I'd do if they got their hands on you."

"Nothing's going to happen, Ratchet!"

"You don't KNOW that...."

There's silence on the phone again before Ratchet speaks again. You swore you heard him sigh deeply.

"I want you back at the base."

"Why?"

"Security reasons. Decepticons in the area."

Something about his voice sounds off. His response is curt, almost rehearsed. You push it aside, thinking he's just irritated.

"Really? Alright...."

"Don't worry too much, I'd never let them touch you. I'm picking you up. Wait there, okay?"

"Ratchet, You never usually leave the base that often. Shouldn't you send one of the oth-"

"They're busy. I'd prefer it if... I brought you here, is that okay with you?"

"Sure, Ratchet. Be careful."

Ratchet says nothing, but your words affected him greatly. He appreciated the fact you cared for him like he cared for you. He hangs up on you and you cautiously wait for him. Decepticons in the area?

Were you really in that much danger?

---

It felt wrong to lie to you about a Decepticon threat. Yet Ratchet reassured himself that it could happen at any point in time. Just calling you wasn't enough.

As Ratchet drove back to the base with you in the front seat, he thought deeply about what he was doing. How long could he lie before he told you how he really felt? How long until you realize there's no real threat at this time.

Like a Decepticon, Ratchet had lied to you to get what he wants.

It felt dirty. Despite this, Ratchet could only think about you in his front seat. He could tell you were concerned.

He hoped you could forgive him for this. At the base you provide him such comfort. No one else could make him feel such a way. If he kept you there... he wouldn't have to worry. He could think about himself just this time, yeah?

Hopefully his little project would be done soon and he could convince you to stay. He could make you your own little area in the base and interact with you with a little avatar. In his eyes, you'd be a much happier human with his care.

He had his reasons and ways to have you understand him. You can't fully blame him when you learn the truth, could you? Decepticons were a threat, even if they weren't right at this tick.

This was the best way to care for you. He loves you... this would be beneficial to the both of you. You'll be safe and he'll have you.

While it may feel wrong to betray your trust now, it would yield results in the future. Ratchet stops once he rolls into the base and lets you out. After he transforms, Ratchet picks you up in his hands.

He can't hide the grin on his face when he looks at you.

You may not know it yet, but he knows you'll be so much happier beside him rather than alone.

"I'll make sure the Decepticons don't harm a hair on your head... you can relax, I'm here now."

Could I request some mouthplay/vore stuff with Animated Bumblebee maybe? If it’s okay 👉👈

Well anon, you made me think about this one but something came to me that might help. I'll increase Bumblebee's size a bit this fic. I choose a human reader

Tfa Bumblebee x gn!human!reader

Side Effects

Summary: One of the meltdown tests affected one of the autobots, and he faced the side effect.

Words: 1,131

Warning: soft vore, safe vore, mouthplay, predatory/prey, unwilling prey.

It seemed to be an easy mission, catching Detroit's bad guys was something routine that the Prime team was used to.

Meltdown was waiting as if he had something on his mind. They had him at the ready until Bumblebee once again heeded his instinct instead of Prime's orders, he launched himself straight at the enemy only to be pinned down and feel a jab in his neck from Meltdown himself.

Bumblebee felt funny, until the enemy threw him away.

- What have you done to me? Bumblebee asked in annoyance but only Meltdown's laughter was heard.

-You'll find out soon enough.... - Meltdown said as the rest of the team approached making Meltdown leave.

Bumblebee still felt strange about the jab, he wasn't listening to Optimus' scolding, Bulkhead's words. Ratchet and Prowl noticed right away that the little autobot wasn't acting weird.

They went back to the base and examined Bumblebee, Ratchet had to examine him some more, he discovered there was something different....

Another emergency alarm went off, Bumblebee wanted to go but Optimus told him to stay at the base until further notice, leaving little Bumblebee a little upset. He was an action bot, a little prick wasn't going to bother him.

He watched the others leave and he sat playing the video game console getting dizzier and dizzier, it felt weird as if his limbs were enlarging a little. He fainted soon after, he felt something different... something deep.

Y/N had been able to leave work earlier. He hoped the autobots were.Y/N hadn't seen them in a while, plus had brought a new set for Bumblebee. I knew them from Sari as she was their babysitter, the chics were eager to show Bumblebee. Lively, childish but cute. He was surprised by their knowledge of video games, they were like rivals with joysticks. Y/N always ends up beating him making the situation more fun.

Y/N arrived at the base, which was quiet and there were no lights either. It was strange, Y/N prepared a flashlight... Despite being the base of the autobots, it was in an area quite far from the city as if it were a scary movie.

When he got to the main room, he saw that the TV was on with a video game, that gave him relief. Seeing that Bumblebee was lying on the floor causing Y/N to approach in concern.

- Bee! Bee! What happened? Bee," she said shaking him a little.

Bumblebee reacted to the touch and stood up in front of Y/N with a different expression. Y/N thought to himself, "How big are you? I remembered him shorter."

-Bee, are you okay? I saw you were on the floor and I feared the worst.... Look, I brought a new game. Bee? - asked Y/N. He was starting to feel the chills, something was wrong he was sure. She saw him approach her, as he licked his lips.

- I'm hungry

'Oh was that' thought Y/N

- I'm sure there's something in store....

- No, something different...

Y/N felt something weird going on. Something wrong... It felt like he was looking at her, following her with his eyes.

- Bee?

-I'm sure there's a more appetizing morsel...

All of Y/N's instincts kicked in and he started to run away from it, he tried to catch call someone but saw that Bumblebee was following him. So he ran faster that he dropped his cell phone on the way breaking it. Y/N felt his heart in his chest and hid behind the machinery, having a bit of an advantage being so small.

-Come on Y/N, I'll see you.... I'm sure we both like this game...

Y/N on the other hand was terrified, she hoped the autobots would arrive soon, she was trembling. She hoped it was a nightmare, she heard Bumblebee's footsteps approaching the hiding place. She tried to hold her breath, she could only hear her heart beating. He saw that he was walking away until seconds later silence returned, he thought Y/N would be safe. She relied to feel Bumblebee's servo capture her, Y/N tried to resist as best she could but she could barely move but had fallen into his servos.

-Bee, please... Listen to me," Y/N said nervously.

Bumblebee on the other hand licked her cheek and then her neck.

- I love the taste of you... I prefer to enjoy it more inside my mouth.

Y/N was horrified begging and crying but Bumblebee didn't care, despite the resistance he managed to put it in his mouth.

A big glossa starts to lick every part of your body... Giving you some warmth in spite of the fear you were feeling.

- You taste better when you twist it's very sweet of you...

Y/N was feeling small bites on her shoulder from Bumblebee's teeth, she felt her glossa turn this one over, licking more, you could hear it purring as it crushed you a little against the teeth, leaving you a little smothered.

You didn't know if you were living a nightmare or if you were being pleasured.

- You're delicious, sweetie - says Bumblebee moving from one side of his faceplate to the other crushing you a little giving you a gasp at the feel of it.

-Bee, please get me out of here... please," Y/N tried to move but her glossa had her completely immobilized.

-Relax, I'm sure it's a ride you're going to love.

Y/N felt a shiver as she shivered a little making part of the glossa lick the little one more.

-Nervous, candy... relax, we don't consume humans.... So you'll be comfortable in my tanks

Y/N tried to struggle to get out of there but was simply trapped as the glossa pushed it into her esophagus, Bumblebee gulped as Y/N was screaming Bumblebee's name was slowly going down trapped, surrounded and choking a little.

Bumblebee was feeling happy, he was rubbing his chassis as he felt Y/N in his tanks.

Then he passed out again seeing what had happened.

The autobots came back later, to see where Bumblebee was and what had happened to him they also noticed he was more.

Bumblebee had no recollection of what had happened. Then Prowl found Y/N's broken cell phone and everyone was worried about what had happened until Bumblebee remembered certain flashes of what had happened.

Y/N were scared, feeling every part of you in his glossa and finally felt something in his tanks.

Y/N were still there.

Bumblebee was terrified, that was Meltdown's surprise... And/N had paid the price.

He felt a little movement as remorse, it was all over him.

Bumblebee would have to give a long explanation of that night.

A strange one and one that Y/N was not going to forget in his nightmares.
