#Bls look at Ultra Magnus!

[rawmeknockout]

how would Roddy and Whirl himself react if the human theyre interested in secretly abandoned ship at the last inhabited planet bc of something whirl said? was a joke ofc bc it’s whirl but being the only human on board who feels increasingly more useless and insignificant by the day kinda takes a toll..? i mean the ship would prob be better off without some “Weird Tiny Thing™️” to look out for all the time right? ((we all know whirl equates affection with being a lil fuck what did we expect)) bls

Rodimus

Oh, he's freaking out. How could he let this happen? He's the captain. Co-Captain. He's supposed to keep an eye on everything that goes in and out of the ship. He should have noticed that you were gone! You're like one of his favorite people! When the crew finally tracks you down after you lead them on an unintentional goose chase, Rodimus isn't just mad at Whirl but also at himself. He didn't think you would take stupid Whirl joke so hard. Maybe of he spent more time building you up, you wouldn't believe any dumb thing Whirl says. He holds a grudge against Whirl for a while after this. At least this is one instance where he doesn't have to fight Megatron or Ultra Magnus about going chasing after you by any means necessary. Magnus is more than willing to look the other way in regards to a report on the incident, provided Rodimus gets you back safe promptly.

Whirl

He's torn. One on hand, he wants to feel like you're too soft. You're obviously too soft. But he wouldn't say something he thought would break your little squishy spark. He runs himself in emotional circles so long he just gets frustrated and starts destroying his habsuite. He shouldn't give a frag! You're just a stupid little human official on a stupid little human mission to make it seem like Earth is actually proactive at anything. And yet Whirl can't believe he actually went so far in hurting you. Once again it's another thing he's fucked up! It takes a few days for him to stop beating himself up in order to make things right. That doesn't mean he's stopped being down on himself, it just means he's apologizing while beating himself mentally. It's an actual meaningful apology! He doesn't admit his warmer feelings for you, not yet, not when you just got back and are still dealing with... well, all he's already done to your self esteem. Whirl doesn't want to pile on. He just makes it clear how much he appreciates you.
