The Drone And The Scout

[vee-king]

Okay, can we all talk about how Chase is as aggressive as Heatwave or if not more aggressive?

Like yea, Heatwave has anger issues and all that which makes him more firey and willing to fight; but Chase is willing to throw hands at the drop of a hat too!

S01, Ep02

He just throws that landscaper like it's nothing, and proceeded to say "You will not be constipated for any damages."

Like get it Chase, but settle down tad bit.

Like in the next episode his immediately thrown hands again with rocks!

S01, Ep03

Same stance as heatwave! Just a higher fist and more like turned into the punch, he knows how to deck someone if needed!

Also he pulled up so fast in this scene in the same episode he wanted a chase(haha), he was willing and ready to go!

There are so many more scenes of Chase willing to fight anything; if It's deemed a threat his going toe to toe with it.

The only way I take care of myself is imaging how nice it would feel to cut off any of my comfort characters. Telling ratchet to get rest and right before he can snap about how I should do the same i get to say I slept a full eight hours(help me I haven't slept since sunday) and I get to look smug as he huffs and scoffs his way back to his room. Like the fly in your room at 3 AM I just appear behind Optimus and tell him to get his aft to bed before I start editing Wikipedias. I like to think he takes them very personally and when he has free time (rare) he spends them correcting them. Chucking a "How to seek help" at Megatron and just smile. I'd buy those color board from elementary ( the one were you can moved up to green or down for red. ) for the whole deception ship. They'd turn it into a competition and I'd gladly watch it burn. Just spawning on Heatwaves shoulder " your emotionally constipated aren't you heatwave" in a SpongeBob manner. Remember kids if you can't find the will to help yourself just imagine your doing it inspite of someone.

4 + BoulWave + Rescue Prime

The sky lighted up with stars, viewable tonight because, again, the electricity went off, the people got accomplished to this, unfortunately and despite Megatron and Orion's efforts, the people down there, on the miner colonies suffered from the same and worse each day, no matter how much Heatwave wanted to change the situation of Cybertron's people, but he was a simple rescue bot, he couldn't do much, or better saying, he didn't knew what to do.

A hint of brilliant blue crossed the pit of his optics, meeting with the yellowish light of Heatwave's lamp, moving his optics, he met a brilliant flower in a pot that covered a familiar face, a face he was mad a few hours ago, the pot moved with a high-irritating voice "Hi" the 'flower' said "you seem sad, are you okay?"

"I want you out" Heatwave replied, moving his arms on the metal railing to get away

"You don't seem okay" the brilliant blue didn't moved "why don't you wanna talk?"

"Because I simply don't want to, mot with you"

"You can't be mad forever"

"Look at me" Heatwave growled, not meeting Boulder's eyes, or the flower, which made Boulder worried, it was his favorite flower!

"Come on! Talk to me! I promise I will not say a thing, or judge you, I'm all ears, you seem worried-"

"Boulder, I don't want to talk, just go out!" Heatwave shouted, waving his hand and almost hitting the flower

"But I'm not Boulder" they lied with high voice "I'm a flower" Boulder handled closer the flower, supporting the pot on the railing "I just want to help you" Boulder took the pot from behind with one servo, getting away from the railing, Heatwave didn't wanted to look at the green bot, but he had a knot on his throat he wanted to get out

"Why did you..." he stopped, realizing what Boulder really wanted "why Boulder didn't told me their tutor is a high-ranked militar?" Heatwave lowered his head and his voice "it's just... I don't get it, I can't understand why to keep it"

"You don't always choose your family" the flower told him "look at me, I was chosen but I didn't choose" Heatwave looked at the flower, remembering the day he recieved it, it was a gift of Censere when he became Prime, a remaining part of his tutor's spark, rest in piece, thing Heatwave never told Boulder. Heatwave sat on the floor and so did Boulder with the pot, lifting it to cover their face

"I don't know how to deal with the notice" Heatwave hugged his legs "maybe that's why they never told me, and I'm still asking and getting mad like an idiot"

"You're not"

"I am, I had to ask first, or at least I had to thought of it, it's not like you choose her, it's not like any of us had a choice" Heatwave rested his head on his arms, looking at everywhere except the flower, or the one behind it

"But that's what we are fixing, right?" The flower said, now closer to his face, Heatwave look at it, holding the pot and meeting Boulder's fingers under it

"I'm sorry" he said softly "really, really sorry. I should have asked"

"I forgive you" Boulder said quietly, now with their natural voice, getting closer to their partner "I'm glad it worked"

"What? The flower method?" Heatwave chuckled "only because this flower is special, I'm more glad it's getting vivid and more brilliant since you take care of it." Heatwave finally met Boulder's eyes "Thank you, for this and for everything"

"Always" Boulder gave him a cute smile.

Transformers: Rescue Bots in Disguise — Prisoners of the Alchemor, and Cybertronians on Earth

( @too-many-blorbos because I know you enjoy these posts :] )

Surprise surprise! I have more thoughts about this au!!! For this post, we're exploring what I think they should've gone with in-canon when it comes to the general roster of the prisoner ship the Alchemor as well as the connection between Earth and Cybertron at the start of the series. This post won't go into EVERYONE who was imprisoned on the ship, but it will provide some examples. Without further ado! The post!

Personally, I think it's kinda silly that Earth DOESN'T know Cybertronians exist. I mean, the arrival of New Kaon in Nevada should've announced to the Whole World that aliens existed! As such, I've decided that for TF: RBiD, the existence of Cybertronians will be a known fact by all of Earth, with there being a Cybertronian Base on Earth that's run by Ratchet — when Chase and the others come to Earth, they'll likely stay at said base. Helps to explain why we'd have an adult Raf as the main human companion as well!

The Alchemor, in TF: RBiD, will have prisoners belonging to a variety of moralities AND factions — not all of them will be Decepticons, and not all of them will be explicitly evil. And we're not going with there being more evil Decepticons or wrongly arrested Autobots, either: there will be just as many good Decepticons and evil Autobots as there are good Autobots and evil Decepticons. Why am I doing this? To help sell the main lesson Chase is trying to teach Strongarm, which I touched on in a previous post!

Will some of the escaped prisoners get locked back up? Yes, some of them should actually be serving the sentence they were given (Thunderhoof is an Actual Mafia Boss who bribed corrupt members of Cybertron's police and oh my GOD what if he was arrested by Chase? Because he made the mistake of trying to buy Chase's cooperation! Rivalry!!!)

However, some of the prisoners who got locked up were an extreme response — the first example will be our favorite Terror Twins returning together, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker! Sideswipe was arrested for going SLIGHTLY too fast in a residential area, and Sunstreaker was arrested for putting up graffiti on too many walls. For the two of them (as well as any other prisoner whose crime doesn't ACTUALLY warrant being locked up indefinitely), Chase will instead issue them a very basic community service based on their specific skillset.

You know what this results in? More background bots! A reason to bring them back in a later episode without them being Problem of the Week: 2!

Now, let's talk about Steeljaw again... Unlike in canon, where he was introduced fairly early on and Strongarm immediately saw through his ploy of "I'm one of the GOOD guys who was on the Alchemor :)" — he's going to be introduced later on (probably still in season 1, but closer to the halfway point if not later), and will be specifically introduced after several OTHER Decepticons who actually were wrongly imprisoned! That way, we can have a version of events where Strongarm actually believes him and willingly brings him into the base.

When in the base, Steeljaw will find a way to incapacitate the Rescue Bots, and when he goes to free his imprisoned Decepticon cohorts, he finds some of them out and about on the base. Believing them to be like him, he tries to enlist them to help him free the imprisoned Decepticons and crush the Autobots...

So imagine his surprise when they reply with "Are you KIDDING? Chase gave me FIFTEEN HOURS of community service and then I can go do WHATEVER I WANT so long as I don't break the law!"

And then they kick him out and help Chase and the others recover from Steeljaw's attack, because they appreciate Chase treating them like actual bots instead of criminals :]

And when some of these Bots finish their community service... They decide to stick around. Earth is nice! They can get JOBS here! A lot of them think Chase is a cool guy! (The first (and possible only) one to say this will be met with Chase asking them to call his old teammates and repeat what they just said. This Will stop anyone else from calling Chase cool to his face)

Updated chapter 25 of Migratory Birds Chinese version. After the civil war, Dreadwing and Skyquake make contact to Megatron by video after his revival, and the resemblance between the Halloween tale and Decepticons.

"Ancient Ireland had a drunkard named Jack. On Halloween, he tricked the devil into climbing a tree and trapped him there. He wouldn’t let the devil down until the devil promised never to let him fall into hell. After Jack died, he couldn’t enter heaven because he didn’t believe in God, and the devil wouldn’t let him into hell either. To help him find his way back to the human world, the devil gave him a burning coal. Jack placed this burning coal inside a lantern carved from a large red turnip. This first 'Jack-o'-lantern' was supposed to help him find his way back to Ireland, but he never did. So, he wandered the earth forever with the lantern. Nowadays, pumpkins are used instead because they are easier to carve, look better, and last longer. We saved two for you," Cody pointed to two gigantic pumpkins in the corner, magnified by a bright light, which startled both of them.

Unable to enter hell for tricking the devil, unable to go to heaven for not respecting God, wandering the earth, and rejected by his homeland... isn’t this just like their teacher Megatron? Or rather, something that exists in every Decepticon?"

I swear I’m going to dislocate my finger if I keep drawing with it

Got three drawings!

[smokescreenimusprime]

The idea of Smokescreen being a medic is such a big brain galaxy move, I'm obsessed with it. I'd imagine Smokescreen would be much more passive compared to his canon counterpart and perhaps a bit less energetic, since he's still reeling from Alpha Trion and Sigma-17. It could still be like canon, where Smokescreen wants to prove himself, but this time, it's so he can show that's he's now good enough and capable to help again, instead of just being in the sideline and being sad when he could be useful (Smokey just buries that trauma as deep as he can)

Also, an idea to consider: Smokescreen, in this AU, probably wouldn't be as excited around Optimus. Like, of course he's nervous about meeting Optimus Prime, but he wouldn't be as hyped. Now, Ratchet, on the other hand, Smokescreen would absolutely be asking him to teach him and stuff and how to get better.

(Also would the Rescue Bots know that Smokescreen is alive, and vice versa? I'd imagine Optimus would've informed them about his arrival, but maybe he'd thought that could be too risky or something, so the Rescue Bots just thinks he's dead. Or maybe Optimus tells them about this new bot that was a Rescue Bot and that they'll send him there as soon as they could, and the team just gets reminded that they're one-bot short. There's so much fun potential there)

OOOOOOOOOOOO Y E S S S S S S S S

God imagine how fun Smokescreen's arrival is going to be. The Cons are absolutly flabbergasted because Wait A Fucking Moment That's A Rescue Bot Sigil- but luckily before they can bring Smokey to the Nemesis the Autobots show up to help him. Of course, when the dust settles and they see the insignia they also start freaking out, and while there's definitely a bit of suspicion because the Rescue Bots are supposed to be wiped out, he is able to prove it somehow and they start warming up to him

When Smokescreen learns that he's apparently one of the last living Rescue Bots....... yeah that shit hurts. It's rather ironic honestly, that the last Rescue Bot medic wasn't even forged one. He's absolutely going to give it his all in to prove himself and that he deserves his position and title as a Rescue Bot. He's still hurting and very much traumatized, but now he has a more tangible goal to focus on instead. This isn't like the Archives, this is the middle of an active war zone where anybody could be hurt at any second. He doesn't has time to think about his feelings, he can do that later (yeah this is going to be fun for him to deal with later)

and you BET Smokescreen's going to lose his shit when he realized Ratchet himself is here. Even before the war started getting more intense, Ratchet was legendary in the medical field. Smokescreen's read medical textbooks featuring the guy, he practically idolized him, so being given the opportunity to work with him? A dream come true. He asks so many questions and while normally Ratchet would've been annoyed by it all...... it's been a while since some's been able to keep up with all his "medical babble." And the kid's got spirit, the skill and knowledge (he wasn't spending his whole time with Trion twiddling his thumbs, he was reading any and every datapad even remotely related to medicine and science). He just needs more experience to polish it off

also, I don't know what to do with this idea, but I had a Thought of just..... slight miscommunication of intention between Smokey and the other Autobots. Because the Autobots want to keep him safe and Ratchet is aware of the fact Smokescreen a) has been in stasis for a couple millennia and b) has little experience working in a war environment. He has more experience as a field medic and natural disasters, not active combat

unfortunately for them, while there has been a lot of social class progression since the war started, Smokescreen's experienced none of it and is from right smack dab in the middle of it all where he could barely walk into a clinic without his position being questioned. The second he decided what he wanted to do with his life he was constantly having to look over his shoulder and more often than not had to fear for his life. He's had patients question his ability to treat them, he's been assigned "easier" patients because they doubted his abilities, instructors have graded him more harshly, hell he's even had other medical students try to explain things he already knew

The only people who've ever respected him and his abilities are his team, a few instructors at the academy who were on his side, and Alpha Trion, all of which are presumably dead. He's had it up to here with people underestimating him and it somewhat strains his relationship with the Autobots. And it's only made even worse by the fact that Smokey isn't going to say anything about it because in the past that's never accomplished anything except make more enemies and he really doesn't want to piss off the only other Autobots on this whole rock

again, do I know what to do with this or where to put it? Not really. It would definitely have to be something pretty early in the timeline so...... idk maybe that's what sparks the argument which gets Smokescreen out of the base and captured by the Cons

sPEAKING of that part, there's also the fun that could spark because of just..... how different Smokescreen would be received. He'd still be locked up, that's no question, but he's not a warrior. He's a Rescue Bot. And from the Decepticons perspective he might be the last one in existence. They're going to be way more careful when he's captured this time, not because he's more of a threat but because even when they get the Key he's still a VERY valuable prisoner

(also, completely separate, but I do really want to play around with the idea that Smokey as a field medic, who was presumably going to be deployed into dangerous locations, would have some kind of protection. Nothing lethal or even that powerful, but enough to save himself if need be. He doesn't use it very often, but he's really skilled with whatever it is and not afraid to be set out to do field repairs if need be. I'd also image he heavily abuses the Phase Shifter for this too when he gets his paws on it)

as for the other Rescue Bots :))))))

so them waking up on Earth at first was...... well, in the beginning it wasn't super different from canon. Their ship crashes, Optimus introduces them to Charlie. But then of course the realizations hit them. Cybertron is destroyed. There aren't any more Rescue Bots

Smokescreen

so now not only do they have to deal with hiding and adjusting to an entirely new and different planet but they have to do all that while also mourning their fifth and youngest member who's possibly been dead for thousands of years without them knowing

not a great time all things considered, and it honestly gets even worse upon realizing there are five members of the Burns family. And Cody...... honestly reminds them a lot of Smokescreen. Friendly, energetic, willing to help no matter what, desperately trying to prove himself....... it's almost painful how similar they are at times. It's kind of an accident that they get so close, but they've all silently promised to protect this kid who reminds them so much of their fallen friend. They would've gotten along so well had they met.

eventually Smokescreen is brought up. Maybe it was a slip of the tongue and someone was remembering The Good Old Days, or maybe it was just a bad day where Smokescreen's absence was more noticeable

and it...... hurts to talk about him, to only be able to talk about him in the past tense. That their human family never got to meet such an important part of their team, and never would. But at the same time, it's nice. To recall the good days, the laughs and pranks and study sessions they shared. Like they aren't letting him be forgotten even though he wasn't "officially" part of Sigma 17

and I'm going to be honest...... yeah I really don't know when the two sides should meet. There are so many possibilities with different vibes and angst and everything and just...... yeah I'm really torn

I do really like your idea though and I definitely think that could play a part in things. Maybe Optimus calls, says they found a new Rescue Bot but the Cons also know they exist so he's going to hold off on sending them over until things are safe. He doesn't know how long it will take, but he thought it would be a good idea to let them know this new Rescue Bot exists so they won't be surprised if/when they're Groundbridged over

and they're....... definitely really torn. On one hand, another Rescue Bot who survived!!! Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!! but again, on the other hand like you mentioned, this just reminds them they're a Bot short. Heatwave is the most huffy about the whole thing, and understandably so since he and Smokescreen were the closest. He knows that it's only natural and safest for the "new" Rescue Bot to be sent their way but it....... it feels wrong. Like they're replacing Smokescreen with somebody else

of course, when they actually meet Heatwave HARD pivots on that opinion, but that's still a ways into the future so :3

[transingthoseformers]

au where Optimus adopts the SG! Rescue bots. everything is the same, but the rescue bots are SG. Heatwave is a softie and is often pushed aside. Chase is the always ready to lawbreak menace to society. Boulder is the rough and tough constructicon with a secret soft spot for small animals. and Blades is a little glitch (affectionate) treats the team as if he's the leader.

Okay awwwwwwww

I am damn here for all of them, because I am a sucker for shattered glass, and I've seen fun fics involving crossovers between sg and baseline

[presidentofthelipglossclub]

important additions to this post. also yes he absolutely would be the source of many short jokes (from both sides let's be real) until he starts biting people and body slamming them. heatwave has no fear okay he was ready to throw down with hightide before he even saw him in regular bot form. he saw him in his giant suit and was still trying to egg him on ok the decepticons would not fucking scare him. starscream tries to say shit to him and he immediately goes for the throat no hesitation just bloodlust. if heatwave can throw trex he can throw starscream. even if he couldn't he'd still like break his fingers or like steal his missiles.

the other decepticons fucking love him after that. this little guy who doesn't even reach starscream (a hardened war criminal)'s shoulders is getting his first real chance to do some damage and is rushing headfirst into it ok. like picture a 12 year old taking on a grown man. and winning. that's hilarious.

despite this demonstration they still don't take him seriously (hard to when he's so much smaller than pretty much everyone) until he gets like captured on the nemesis and immediately starts talking shit to everyone. no one is spared he's calling shockwave cyclops and soundwave a faceless freak and telling knockout he's tacky and breakdown he doesn't even have a real job. and then megatron comes in and he immediately cuts himself off to ask him if he was a gladiator and when megatron says yes (with much confusion bc this should be common knowledge) heatwave calls him broke.

they try torturing him and it doesn't work. the rescue bots are basically invincible bc of their job. electric shocks? nice try they've been struck by lightning so many times. brute force? they get thrown around all day every day. sharp things? people keep trying to cut them open who cares plus they keep getting hit by dangerous things during emergencies anyways. psychological torture? nothings worse than having to pretend you literally are not alive and then existing as a servant to random people while also putting your life in danger. nothing works on him so they just. let him go.

optimus is very concerned about the whole thing but heatwave keeps telling him everything is fine and the electricity like didn't even really hurt and the lasers only made small wounds that can be buffed out and fire doesn't do anything really and not eating is fine bc he never did anyways and then optimus grounds him and doesn't let him out of the base without at least two others with him.

so funny that heatwave is technically short as hell we just dont ever realize bc he’s only ever with people that are either also short or people that tower over everyone. like bumblebee is also short so we dont recognize how small the rescue bots are and optimus is so much taller than everyone that its hard to recognize how much smaller the rescue bots are compared to other bots. boulder is literally like the same height as arcee. they’re all short as fuck. i just think heatwave’s is the funniest because one: he’s a truck just like optimus and ultra magnus, two huge bots, and two: he’s a vehicular triple changer, and technically a quadruple changer. triple changers are big as shit and this tiny little dude is a quadruple changer!!! hes fuckin shit up while being like half optimus’ size even tho they’re both trucks!!

anyways pls take the time to imagine heatwave meeting other vehicular triple changers and being like “wait wtf why are you guys so tall??” and them being like “wait wtf why are you so SMALL??” and then losing their shit when they learn he’s not only a quadruple changer, but also that his 4th mode is a DINOBOT, another historically huge genre of bot.

[in1-nutshell]

Heya! I want to try Rescue Bots request. The Rescue Bots encountered a lazy Decepticon scout Buddy sleeping in the middle of the street that is causing traffic. This version of Decepticon Buddy is very chill and relaxed than they should have to their surroundings, even when their life is in danger. When they try arrested the lazy Decepticon Buddy, Buddy just teleported somewhere else to nap. (This Buddy is an outlier. This Buddy can teleport.) A few days later, another Decepticon (Not Buddy) kidnapped the kids. Lazy Decepticon Buddy asked the other Decepticon what are they going to do with those kids, the other Decepticon responds he is going to torture the kids to force them to reveal where the Rescue Bots are, which Buddy did not like that at all. Buddy asked the other Decepticon to hold the kids for them. Once Buddy gently holds the kids, Buddy shielded the kids views so they don't see Buddy shot the other Decepticon dead in cold blood unexpectedly because they will never condone to harming or killing any kids in any way. Buddy contacted the Rescue Bots to come get the kids while Buddy gently comfort the kids. (Bonus: when the Rescue Bots asked Buddy why they joined the Cons, Buddy responds "The Decepticons gave me an energon cookie.") Characters: Heatwave, Chase, Boulder, and Blades. Please and thank you!

Haven't done a Buddy like this, I welcome the challenge!

Hope you enjoy!

Bot Buddy the Con who can teleport protecting Cody and Frankie

SFW, Platonic, Cybertronain reader

RB

Buddy is a con.

Well, more like Ex-con.

They used to be in the spy unit thanks to their Outlier ability to teleport.

They could have gotten far in the ranks if it weren’t for their laid-back nature and them not wanting to do much fighting.

So, they left the moment they could and kept a low profile on Earth.

They did find their own safe haven on the Island of Griffin Rock.

It was a nice place to be.

They didn’t show themselves to the public, instead opting to watch them in their everyday lives.

Buddy watching the Burns family playing basketball from the wooded area.

“C’mon Cody… a little to the left and…”--Buddy

Kade blocks the ball which bounces off Cody’s head.

“Ow!”—Cody

Buddy gasps.

Kade puffs his chest.

“Sorry Squirt, but when you mess with the champ—”--Kade

BONK!

“OW!”--Kade

Kade looks down at the large stick that had hit him in the head.

“Who threw that?! Dani! It was you wasn’t it!”--Kade

Buddy had a satisfied grin on their faceplate.

“That was for Cody.”--Buddy

They had been considering showing their identity to the community, but ultimately decided against it in fear of the Autobots or any Decepticon finding them.

Or worse, the community not accepting them and then having to find a new home.

They were extremely surprised to see some Rescue Bots at the unveiling ceremony.

Buddy figured that most if not all those bots were no longer operational.

This was just another reason to keep hiding.

They continued their observation of the community and of the Burns family, leading them to find out about the bots working with the small family as well as their location.

Not that they would ever do anything with it anyways.

Their first encounter with the Rescue Bots certainly was one to remember.

They knew that teleporting for long periods of time and long distances made them sleepy…

And they knew their tendency of taking naps anywhere they could…

Yet here they were taking a nap in the middle of a small street in their alt mode.

This eventually caused traffic and that led to some of the bots to come see what the commotion was about.

Chief Burns and Chase are coming on the scene.

The Chief steps out and goes to knock on one of the windows.

“Hello? Is there anyone inside? This is not a parking—”--Chief

Chase spots the Decepticon symbol and feels his energon run cold.

He quickly comms in Boulder and Heatwave.

“Get the citizens out of the area immediately!”--Chase

“Wow, Chase what’s—”--Boulder

“The subject causing the traffic is a Decepticon!”--Chase

“What’s a—”--Graham

“Never mind that! Boulder! You and Blades get the humans! I’m backup for Chase!”--Heatwave

“On it!”—Boulder and Blades

Boulder and Blades make it record time get the civilians out of there.

“Guys what’s going on?”--Dani

Chase transforms and holds his servos out to Chief.

“Chief Burns, step away from the vehicle slowly. That is a Decepticon and of unknown origin.”--Chase

“A Decepticon?”--Chief

The vehicle suddenly starts transforming as Heatwave and the other bots come.

Chase quickly snatches Chief holding him close.

The Con finishes transforming and stretches.

“Primus, I have got to stop taking naps on this street. There’re too many potholes that I know the Mayor wont…”--Buddy

Buddy looks at the bots.

They slowly raise their servos.

“Hey, I mean no harm and all. Just minding my own business here. Just taking a nap…”--Buddy

Heatwave pulls out some stasis cuffs out.

“Yeah, not happening. Tell Cody I said hi!”--Buddy

POP!

“WHERE DID THEY GO?!”—Rescue bots

“How do they know who I am?!”--Cody

Buddy watching from the wooded area behind them.

“So much for good introductions…”--Buddy

The Rescue Team would be on high alert for the next few days after the encounter.

Meanwhile Buddy just watched from afar everything goes down.

It would be one evening that they would receive a ping in their com.

It was from another Decepticon asking for any nearby Cons to come to their coordinates.

Curious, and bored, they answered the call and went to the location.

To their surprise, the location was underneath one of the many caverns under Griffin Rock.

They walked in and was in shocked what they saw.

It was some drone on a data pad on one side of the cavern. On the other side was Cody Burns and Frankie Greene tied up against the wall.

The kids looked okay, a little roughed up, but nothing else.

Buddy walks over to the other Con as calm as they could.

The other Con looks over and smiles maliciously.

“Finally, another fellow Decepticon.”—Random Con

Buddy just waves, watching the other Con go over to the children and grabs them.

Buddy’s servos clench a bit when they see the kids flinch.

“So, what’s with the humans?”--Buddy

“I’m going to do some good fashion torture session to find where those pesky Rescue Bots are. Then send a message to Lord Megatron—”—Random Con

“Hold on, hold on Pal. First, can I hold them? Never held humans before.”--Buddy

The other Con shrugs and tosses the kids to Buddy, who quickly catches them.

“Fine, but no torture. I’m going to be in charge of that.”—Random Con

Buddy readjusts their hold on the kids and smiles gently at them before whispering.

“Close your eyes and cover your ears. Don’t open them until I saw so.”--Buddy

They snag the ropes from the kids and toss them inside their subspace.

Buddy could just hope that the kids had followed their instructions.

“Hey what are you—”—Random Con

Buddy blasts the Con in the chassis.

They make sure the Con was offline before teleporting outside.

POP!

They open their subspace and gently get the kids out.

“You can open those eyes now kids.”--Buddy

Both kids open their eyes surprised seeing the outside of the cave.

Frankie looks at them accusingly.

“What do you want? And where’s your friend?”--Frankie

“Firstly, not my friend. Secondly, no one will have to worry about that guy ever again.”--Buddy

“How can we trust you?”--Frankie

Buddy just shrugs.

“You don’t have to trust me, Frankie.”--Buddy

Her eyes widened.

“How do you know her name?”--Cody

“I know everyone’s name on Griffin Rock, Cody.”--Buddy

“How?”—Cody

That led to a slightly awkward conversation of how long Buddy had been spying on the people of Griffin Rock.

The kids ended up warming up to the Ex-Con who had saved them after another hour of talking before the three realizing that the others were probably worried sick.

Buddy quickly teleported to the back of the Firehouse after that realization, scaring the bots and humans in the process.

It was an even worse impression than before.

Especially when Heatwave nearly tore down the doors and nearly dropkicked Buddy after seeing Cody and Frankie in their servos.

It took another hour of explaining, reassuring, to get everything out.

The humans were grateful for Buddy getting the kids out of that situation.

Blades and Boulder were more on the forgiving side than Chase and Heatwave.

“One thing I still do not understand. How long have you been here and never alerted anyone?”--Chase

“Yeah, how long have you been here?”--Blade

“You’ve been here that long!?”--Heatwave

“And you never did any harm?”--Chase

“What do you mean?”--Heatwave

“They had energon cookies and offered them if I joined. I left as soon as they ran out.”--Buddy

“…”—Rescue Team
