#Sunstreaker is guilty

[autobot2001]

Whumpril Snippet 4

@whumpril  

Day 4; ache, massage Day 9; pinned down, bruised, "who did this to you?" Day 24; false smile, holding back tears, "I said I'm fine." Day 16; guilt, shock Day 30; holding hands alt 1; ice pack alt 11; "don't push me away."

Fandom: Transformers   Pairing: Sunstreaker X Lily Jones (OC)  Unedited for now.  ( Scenes that'll be in A Lily in Winter. Excuse the time skips)

Lily walks down the hall of the N.E.S.T. base towards the terror twins' room. She's used to soldiers — whether they returned to N.E.S.T. two years ago or joined two months ago — questioning why Sunstreaker is the mech she loves, even though she's only been able to stay at the base during school vacations. She's now allowed to stay during the summer with her friend, Veronica, who ended up finding out everything. Lily is expecting to deal with soldiers questioning her frequently. "Hey, kid," a soldier says. "Get lost." "How rude!" The soldier grabs Lily and throws her on the floor. They have Lily pinned down as they use her as a punching bag. "That psychopath is an idiot dating a weakling. Not even a pretty weakling."

Lily is in pain by the time the soldier walks away. Don't show pain. Lily tells herself as she gets up. It's good that it's been cool enough to wear a long-sleeved shirt and pants.

Lily enters the code to get into the twins' room. Sunstreaker is worried about the way Lily walks into the room. "Lily? Are you ok?" Sunstreaker asks. "I'm fine," Lily tells him behind a fake smile. "I can smell you're in pain." "I said I'm fine." "Don't push me away." Sunstreaker touches Lily's arm, worried about the reaction he's getting. Moving quickly to remove Lily's clothes and leaving her only in her underwear, bra, and socks. Sunstreaker couldn't believe all the red spots on her body. "Who did this to you?" He asks as he takes pictures to send to Ratchet. Uncertain if he needs to make Lily go to the medbay.

Ratchet couldn't believe the pictures Sunstreaker sent him. Concerned that Lily won't tell Sunstreaker what happened. "I know we shouldn't assume, but what else could this be besides a soldier attacking her?" Jasmine argues. "I'm going to talk to Red Alert," Ratchet tells the other two medics, as he gives Sunstreaker instructions.

"... she's not saying anything," Sunstreaker tells Drift as he takes the I've packs from the mech. Sunstreaker knew Drift would tell him not to make Lily talk before leaving. He doesn't know if Drift was sent the pictures, nor does he care. He only took pictures of Lily's arms, legs, and abdomen. "I have to do this to help the bruises heal," Sunstreaker explains as Lily tries to get the ice packs off her, "fifteen minutes." He lies next to Lily, feeling guilty she was attacked.

The Autobots watching the security footage are shocked at what they're watching. "And I thought we dealt with this issue," Optimus sighs. He's alone in Red Alert's room while Red, Prowl, and Lennox find the soldier. The four know this isn't enough to discharge the soldier from N.E.S.T., but the soldier must be dealt with.

With the ice treatment finished, Lily dressed, and taking a nap, Sunstreaker leaves the room to get Lily her favorite cookie from Panera Bread. Hoping that'll make her feel better. Walking down the hall, he spots Lily's friend, Veronica, talking to Ratchet. "...I see why it seemed she disappeared," the femme says, "because she's always hurt and unable to attend school. Glad she wasn't allowed to come back here, and why now?" Scrap, Lily's parents, and her brother will be informed. Sunstreaker worries as memories of the challenges he and Lily dealt with in their relationship, like most being against it. The time he struggled with anxiety.

(Time skip for now)

Sunstreaker takes Lily's hands before she can get a cookie from the bag. "I'm sorry, I hate how they see you're a target," he says as tears roll down his face. "We knew this would happen. I knew, considering how I was told to stay away from you the first day my brother brought me here." "It's still not right. I hope Lennox and Optimus can do something to prevent this from happening again." Sunstreaker remembers Luke being ok with teaching Lily self-defense, but Sunstreaker thinks Luke didn't have a chance to talk to his parents. Considering Lily has only been visiting during the weekends and week-long school vacations, Sunstreaker can see how Luke still needs to bring up teaching Lily self-defense.

(A few days later)

Sunstreaker worries about how much pain Lily is in. Even after Ratchet explaining part of the pain is how there are bruises all over Lily's body. Drift: this could help Lily. Sunstreaker sees Drift sent an article about how a relaxation massage can help promote healing and another talking about how massaging the bruised area will worsen things. Drift: she'll at least feel relaxed, and this might temporarily help the pain. Maybe it'll get her to sleep. Sunstreaker wonders.

Lily isn't sure if a massage will help her, but she lies on her stomach anyway after Sunstreaker moves the blankets on her bed so she's getting in bed. Sunstreaker worries he'll screw up and add to Lily's pain as he does his best to copy the video he's watched several times. He could close his eyes and watch the video as the Autobots' holoforms allow them to do this, but even while worried about adding to Lily's pain, he wants to try to do this without rewatching the video. Ten minutes pass, and Lily is asleep. Sunstreaker covers her with the blankets and goes to bed.

Why men are surprise that our guilty crush be Optimus prime but didn’t say anything if you say sunstreaker ?

[thegoldenshi-shi]

We had hidden because Sunstreaker is not a major character, and everyone liked Bumblebee and Optimus. BUT NOW we are more comfortable in our liking of Sunstreaker.

Arise and be proud, lovers of obscure characters!

Hehe, no really, I love obscure characters and the fun the tf fandom has with them. Hence why I draw a lot of characters like the Lambo Twins, Mirage, and the like.

I was always kinda indifferent to Bee,

But

I must admit to being ☆super☆ soft on Optimus despite not drawing him much. I don't think I've ever met a version of him that doesn't make me at least a little happy.

[revelboo]

What if Sunstreaker becomes like those dads who are like “we are NOT keeping that cat” but then a few days later the cat is in his lap and he’s their favorite person vis a vis the human

Grudgingly accepting the pet is now his pet.

Can't Finish What You Started Pt 2

Sunstreaker x Reader, Sideswipe x Reader

• How long has the thing been screeching and fighting like a mad thing to avoid Sideswipe holding it? Since it came online and while it’s slowing down, it’s still so noisy. After nearly dropping it three times, his twin had set it on a table and tried to corral it in his hands as it darted around in a useless attempt to avoid him. It’s leaking from its eyes, the sight unsettling as it almost falls with a cry to avoid Sideswipe’s clumsy attempts to catch it. Without meaning to, Sides is torturing the little thing.

• Growling under his breath, Sunstreaker shoves up from watching the stupidity. “I swear to Primus if you don’t shut that thing up, I will “ he snarls, fist thumping against the table and the impact knocks the human down. Big eyes stare up at him in very real fear, before it lowers its head. It’s still leaking. Still making that ragged, hitching sound that grates on him, but not screaming anymore. Venting in annoyance, he lowers himself back to his seat.

• Shuddering, you stay down. All the fight drained out of you, because while the huge red monster has tried to coax you into its hands, the yellow one? The way it glares at you like your very existence is an affront terrifies you. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. Giant, alien robots that want who knew what with you. You don’t resist when Sideswipe curls his huge servos around you and lifts you, his grip a bit too tight. Almost bruising. The other one’s staring a hole in you. So much hatred you’re frozen. Then the one holding you tightens his grip.

• The human winces as Sideswipe picks it up, a little hand pushing weakly at his servo like he’s squeezing it and it’s in pain. Venting roughly, Sunstreaker runs a hand over his helm, because he’s almost sure Sideswipe is accidentally hurting it without meaning to. But that’s Sides, always so eager and impulsive. Wanting so badly to prove he doesn’t need looking after, that he’s not only self reliant, but that he can take care of another living thing. Because that’s what this silliness boils down to. Sideswipe proving a point.

• Making a funny little noise, the human shoves at his servo again, tiny fingers scrabbling at the mesh between his joints, the sensation eerie. “You’re crushing it to death,” Sunstreaker mutters, propping his chin on his fist to watch. He’s about to retort when he realizes how red its little face is and relaxes his grip. Gasping, it slumps against his servos and he can feel its little heart racing. He runs a shaky servo over the softness of its hair and it looks up it him with no small amount of fear. Fear of him.

• The giant, alien monster actually looks almost guilty as it finally relaxes its grip and you can breathe again. Because it hasn’t even realized how tightly it had been gripping you. How easy it can break your bones by accident. Lifting your head, you realize the other one is still frowning at you, glowing eyes glaring. But he’d said something. He’d realized his buddy was bending your ribs. Hurting you and stopped it. While the yellow one doesn’t like you at all, he’d protected you.

[wings-of-fire-confessions]

ultimate ship confession lets go (well not really but here's what i think):

cleril: isn't in a great place right now, but it has potential to be good. i like them a little more platonically. people need to stop ignoring peril's character development omg.

glorybringer: i'm too tired to care at this point. this has been debated to death. 

blacier: it's kind of cute (well, the fandom version is; canon is more toxic and that's less of my thing. good for you if you like that though). no strong opinions.

jamapple: POSSIBLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHIPS 💖💖💖💖 they got their spotlight in OND BOOK and that's all they needed to win me over. the flashback to them snuggling in the hammock????? MY HEARTTTTT 💕💕💕💕💞

mastermind x chameleon: i have seen this shipped maybe twice. and i can't get it out of my head. it's just so interesting to me.

winter x kinkajou: wait...... maybe? a part of me thinks they could be cute, but most of me says pass.

ripnami: somewhat has potential; is currently very boring and questionable. i'm not against tsunami having a love interest, but i'm loosing faith in riptide. riptide i KNOW you can become interesting please do literally anything before you bore me to death.

lunatail: they're adorable together!!! obsessed with them omg. people need to talk about them more (for my sake).

clearsight x sunstreak: no opinions; seems fine. i feel like most of the people who hate this ship hate it because they wanted clearsight and darkstalker to get together. which. 🤨

moonbli: it's just okay. a little cute, slightly bland. could get better as they develop their relationship.

quinter: i normally love these types of dynamics, but i'm not interested in quinter? no idea why. i guess like them more platonically.

sunnyflight: uhhh no. don't like this one. i think sunny kindly shutting starflight down and him being okay with that is very refreshing.

whiteout x thoughtful: i feel like people forget about them a lot..... and i can see why. i really think it's cute how they're both artists, but they just don't have much momentum.

glacier x boa: i find this one is more compelling than blacier. glacier crying when she heard boa's backstory... girl me too.

smolder x thorn: i started to appreciate this one so much more when i read smolder's section in the guidebook. that man was a sopping wet disaster. hope they're happy together. i really like them.

sunnyspeaker: seems very cute! no strong opinions. i'd feel a little bad for starflight lmao.

mangrove x orchid: 💖💖💖💖💖💖 I LOVE THEM AND I NEED TO KNOW HOW THEY'RE DOING.

anemone x tamarin: anemone SERIOUSLY needs a good influence, so i think tamarin would be good for her. i'm very curious and i want to see their relationship develop.

winterwatcher: ehhhhhh. i can see the vision, but the vision isn't for me.

scarlet x burn: no. love LOOSES 🔥🔥🔥 the only love for burn is BLOODSHED.

starspeaker: it's cute. that's it. idk. i used to not like them together, but now i think they're fine.

sunlow: 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 THEMMMM!!!! the flashback to their first meeting had me giggling and kicking my feet.

darksight: no. their relationship was very interesting and complex and well written, but from a shipping standpoint??? no way in HELL.

kinkajou x moon: it's cute! no strong opinions. stuck between whether i would like them more as friends or lovers.

clearsight x listener: fun to entertain, but i like them better as friends. if clearsight stayed on pyrrhia, listener would've turned her into a wine mom and they would gossip.

lynxfall: no strong opinions. they're both gay as hell and seem right for each other, but i'm just not really interested. again, no idea why.

anemone x pike: i DO like the bodyguard trope... but anemone x tamarin has more potential in my eyes.

blicket: kind of a guilty pleasure for me....... YES it was rushed but they're really cute this each other. luna imagining that wedding tapestry of them...... melting my heart.

umber x qibli: sounds cute. i like the idea of umber crushing on qibli and then finding someone else though.

turtlejou: meh. has a little potential, but is mostly boring to me. i appreciate how kinkajou was honest with turtle about her feelings at the end.

blister x morrowseer: idk. if they were married i think they would try to poison kill each other 24/7.

carnelian x moon: ehhhh, not for me. i don't like it that much. maybe because carnelian is kind of an eh character to me (SORRYYY i know a lot of you guys are carnelian girlies).

fathom x indigo: glad they got a happy ending. wish we got to see them interact a liiiiiiiiitle more, but i like them.

pertle: no. they're besties and you can't change my mind.

snowfall x sky: thought about this one for a while...... but..... ehhhhhhhhhhhhh...... no.

coral x blister: no.

jambringer: again, very fun to entertain; i can see the vision. but i can't abandon the jamapple ship 😤

arcticslayer: probably one of the most realistic relationships in the book. very conflicted about them. i think they were more attracted to the ideas of each other. maybe.

ok i KNOW there's more ships but i'm cutting it off here because this is getting long. also i haven't read the winglets so idk what's going on over there.

if you're hurt by my opinions and want to rage over them, you're a baby. ship whatever you want (so long as it's not really really weird); i do NOT care.

[mychlapci]

One night, I had this stupid idea:

So, Rodimus accidentally goes back in time, in the full purple paintjob. He accidentally crashes into a uni party and accidentally fucks a young party ambulance Ratchet.

Back to the present, LL Ratchet finally sees Rodimus in purple, and goes “oh fuck”

Ratchet got sparked back at that party, the sparklings are Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, he never knew he was Rodimus because back then he wasn’t even alive, and when he met him he’s red and yellow… and not a prime yet.

Drift is absolutely pissed of that somehow, his best friend sparked his wife before him.

After the initial confusion and embarrassment, Rodimus can’t get enough of making comments and jokes on how he smashed Drift’s crush way before him

oh hell yeah. oh hell yes. Rodimus knocking up party ambulance Ratchet without either of them knowing who the other is… Rodimus is the one who turned Ratchet into a milf. He made him a single mommy. He can’t say he doesn’t feel a little guilty for leaving Ratchet with twins… and Ratchet wouldn’t probably demand all those years of child support paid in full, but he’d certainly threaten to whenever Rodimus pissed him off.

Once Drift calms down, Rodimus is constantly cracking jokes, like telling Drift that he “had been there first” whenever Drift wants to ditch him to go hang out with Ratchet. Drift and Ratchet have a conjuxing ceremony and Rodimus jokes that finally, with Ratchet married he can’t try to make him pay off all that child support… sending them off on their wedding night telling Drift it’s going to be an enjoyable time, believe him, Roddy would know. 

Drift is both frustrated with the jokes, very amused, and deeply turned on by the thought of Rodimus fucking Ratchet pregnant…

[theoceanoasis]

Apologies if you’re not taking requests at the moment, but if you are how about Stuck halfway transformed with bots of you choosing.

It happened so quickly. He'd been racing around having fun with his brother Sunstreaker. Relaxing together and enjoying the beautiful day. When it had gotten competitive. They both sped down the open road going as fast as they could trying to push in front of the other. Sunstreaker had a small lead and he could see a turn up ahead. He did a risky maneuver that would have worked. If Sunstreaker hadn't moved closer causing him to spin out.

One moment he was racing and the next moment there was a scream of pain. He was in shock and hadn't noticed that he was the one screaming.

Sunstreaker immediately stopped racing and transformed running towards his brother.

"Don't move, I'm calling Ratchet."

Confused and worried he looked down and gasped.

"I said don't move."

Sunstreaker pushed him down, but it was too late he'd already seen. Somehow he'd gotten stuck only half way transformed. His upper half was bot mode and his lower half was still in car form.

He shifted and then cried out in pain. Vaguely he could hear Sunstreaker cursing at him and telling him to stop moving.

He didn't know how long he'd waited under the hot desert sun before Ratchet came. He could see his lights in the distance as he sped over. Turning his head he watched him approach. Hissing as the movement caused him pain.

Ratchet transformed and looked him over cursing at them.

"What are you two idiots doing out here racing around?"

Ratchet stomped over throwing a wrench at his brother.

"Ow."

He smirked and Ratchet noticed.

"I have one for you as well. Once I fix what you've done to yourself "

Ratchet scanned him and Sunstreaker carefully moved closer.

"Is he going to be alright?"

His twin asked probably feeling guilty for causing him to loose control.

"He'll be fine. I've seen plenty of reckless youngsters spin out of control and twist their T-cog. Right now I'm going to knock him unconscious which will make transporting and fixing him easier."

That was the last thing he heard before being knocked out by Ratchet.

[katgn-cat-ink]

✨ Prowl/Jazz?

(Hi. Almost a year has passed, huh? The first year of uni, some stuff happened, even quit the fandom for some time… I hope you're still interested.)

Excuse us, we need to talk to you. Investigator Scurry will come in a minute to ask you some questions, and police captains Rock'n'Roll and Blues are going to collect some data from your guests… You've actually known the victim, haven't you?

Well, the first thing everyone's optics catch is they have same parents, but in different relation… Jazz is the carrier for the brothers, while he's the sire for their sister, so Prowl is the sire for RnR and Blues and the carrier for Scurry. …It's something we'll leave for themselves, however they become really flustered when it's brought up.

SCURRY: It's strange how genetics work, but she is taller than her parents by head (even though they have same height). Her helmet's form is close to Jazz's, but without his "horns", and there's Prowl's chevron on it, colored black. Her face, chest, upper arms and legs are white, while lower arms and legs, hands and pelvis section are black. Scurry is more boxier in shape than her relatives. She transforms into a cybertronian type long car, resembling a Jazz's earth altmode.

While you know Scurry as an acquaintance she looks like a sane normal person, maybe just a little more reserved and uptight, kind and nice. No, she isn't a psychopath or an asshole, but she has her mental problems. She is quite nervous and self-concious, an introvert and a unsocial person. Skeptic about everything, checkups everything for numerous times before doing anything. Her sensors work strongly, especially emotional ones, making her weak in communication.

She and her brothers studied to become policemen. She worked for some years before an accident. Her sensors had nearly burnt out! Doctors insisted on taking a medical leave to heal and find a solution for her sensitivity. Her leave had lasted for years and when she returned… She quit. Went away from the alive… To the dead. Escaped from her family, trying to cut off any connections. (Prowl wasn't taking it so lightly as the ex-patient hoped. She hoped her family wouldn't know she got back any time soon.) She restudied to be an investigator in another police station, where she met Whitegold. They were classmates and became colleagues and soon, lovers.

ROCK'N'ROLL AND BLUES: Oh yeah, the Sunstreaker and Sideswipe of the jazzprowl family. However, these brother-twins look the same. On the contrary with Scurry, they are both shorter than their parents by half of head. Their helmets are black and are like Prowl's, and they also have the same chevron but red as Prowl's. Their faces and hands are gray, while lower arms, all of legs and upper torso are white, and upper arms, lower torso (+ pelvis) and "shoes" are black. Their altmodes are cybertronian cars, resembling Jazz's Cybertronian altmode.

These jokesters… They are complete opposites of Scurry. Being loud, extraverts, sure in themselves, Scurry used to be jealous of them. They often do something without checking up anything before and that's the reason why they get in trouble. Their ability to low someone's guard and then caught them off it is astonishing… Oh, and they love to talk some trash about each other behind each other's backs. Well it was about both of them.

Rock'n'Roll is more abrasive and aggressive. Especially when he's alone. He loves his sister, but he believes she's easy on herself. R'n'R is more likely to end up in a fight out of them 3.

Blues is more reserved and optimistic. It's him who is responsible for them being a funny jokester duo. He really sympathises with Scurry and feels guilty he can't really help her. Likes telling anecdotes.

As I've mention they 3 studied to become policemen. Blues works mostly with people, while Rock'n'Roll better looks around for clues. The incident which lead to Scurry taking a leave, well,… Might have happened because of their unattentivity. They visited their sister in hospital, and when she returned they visited her on her new workplace.

Character - voice - theme: Scurry - AmaLee (as Kizuna Chieda from AI: The Somnium Files — nirvanA Initiative) - KURUMI from Never7 -the end of infinity- Rock'n'Roll - Sean Chiplock (as Santa from Zero Escape: 999) - SAKI from Never7 -the end of infinity- Blues - Sean Chiplock (as Yuuki Mishima from Persona 5) - YUKA from Never7 -the end of infinity-

[ny000mdraws]

Would Prowl ever wake up?

If so what would the others reactions be? Namely Sunstreaker...

Context: Prowl in my TFP AU is comatose. Since he was close to Sunstreaker, Starscream targeted him (and the reason why he goes after friends of Sunny is because Sunny killed Thundercracker and Skywarp, two of his closest friends). Luckily, he survived the attack, but he’s been in a coma since.

But he does wake up! I plan for it to happen after RiD15.

As for how people would react…

Sunstreaker would be happy, yet scared. Prowl is like a father figure to him and although he’ll never admit it out loud, he deeply respects him. But he’s afraid of seeing him again because he feels guilty for the death of Prowl’s younger brother, Bluestreak. He doesn’t know how to break the news to him and he’s afraid of how he’ll react. Of course, he’ll muster up the courage to face him eventually.

Jazz is next. He’s absolutely ecstatic to see him awake. They were very close during the war (some people thought they were an item) and Jazz was one of the few people to regularly check up on him. He catches Prowl up on everything that’s happened, so a lot of talking/hanging out between them.

Now that I think of it, a handful of Prowl’s close ones pass away when he was comatose. Bluestreak, Fortress Maximus and the rest of the Headmasters, Hot Rod… he’s gonna have it rough once he wakes up.

Other people who visit him are Optimus, Ratchet and Ironhide, and Blaster and Tracks. Also, I think it’d be wholesome if Jazz and Blaster hosted a welcome home party for Prowl.

[autobot-ratchet]

MTMTE 4-6 (plus Spotlight Trailcutter and Hoist)

MTMTE 4

oh hell yeah time for one of my favorite arcs in the whole story, it's Delphi time baybeeeeeeee

oh my god I forgot Red Alert and Swerve were roommates in early MTMTE lmfAO god poor Red Alert

aww man Pipes is sweet. Can't wait to get my heart broken all over again when he gets stomped lmAO

love Drift pretending to be brave like “would I even be here if the DJD scared me in the slightest” hard cut to Drift begging Ratchet to kill him before the DJD can get him

also love Drift slicing some poor dude into ribbons for the crime of shuffling unnervingly toward Pipes. But he's not nervous or anything, not on edge, perfectly calm

and Tailgate learns the truth of the war

damn, Cyclonus didn't have to do all that to Tailgate, I know he barely even felt that punch

Love Drift surrounding Ratchet with his swords, also love Ratchet holding Drift's arm down to keep him from attacking Pipes, god they're both so good, I fucking love Drift and I fucking love Ratchet

straight up if Drift wasn't such a show off with all his fancy moves and shit he wouldn't have gotten hit with the rust disease lmAO but he HAD to go vehicle mode to dodge Pipes's shuffling

eeeeeyyyyyy Fort Max is back

MTMTE 5

fuckin rip to those two rando decepticons

ooh get his ass First Aid

LOVE Ratchet changing into alt mode before Ambulon is even done begging him not to, guy's gotta do what he can to save his patients that's all there is to it

gdhfsghjl god it is so funny how often they trust what the autopedia says, Tailgate really just edited his own wiki page like “and he was super strong and smart and cool and the records show that his meat was huge and he was best friends with the president”

“predominantly organic universe,” interesting. I know we later see different kinds of mechanical beings but I didn't realize that there were significantly less kinds of mechanical races than organic, I figured they were closer to 50/50

slurps up all this foreshadowing

fuckin Pharma doing the “camera angle when an anime character is about to go insane” thing. God it is still so funny how fast he jumped headfirst into his joker arc. Also kinda sad if you think too hard about it, like he is so clearly not the villain type, he is so bad at it. But he must have felt so guilty that he truly believed there was no redemption that could save him, which is incredibly tragic, but also he is very difficult to take seriously when he says all this cartoon villain shit

“I'm miles from anyone I truly care about” fuckin liar lmAO

god. Still love that Drift is the one to stop Pharma from shooting Ratchet. How'd he even get up here. Who let him leave the medbay and shuffle his rusty ass all the way to the roof of this fucking building

Spotlight: Trailcutter

Teebs is also very sweet. Can't wait to get my heart broken all over again by him as well

“Brainstorm, Chromedome, and Highbrow- you're all heads, I just thought it was funny” a HEE HEE HOO

“I wish I was normal and I wish everyone would just shut up” fucking MOOD Teebs you are so valid

lol get owned, Lockdown

Rodimus really gave Hoist a gold-plated pin-up of himself. Not even his current self, that's his Hot Rod design

Spotlight: Hoist

I will never be able to see this panel with Hoist telling Swerve about the scanner scope without thinking of that edit someone did to make it say “See that, Swerve? That thing there?" “The internet?” “Do not trust the internet. The internet lies.”

gfdsjks Swerve just “um actually'd” Perceptor shut the hell up

I do like these little glimpses of characters that ultimately didn't get much screentime outside these spotlights, like it's so easy to forget that Sunstreaker was ever on the Lost Light bc he didn't get to do much before he was transferred back over to Barber's comic (it's been years since I've read those as well and I do not remember what the comic's name was at that point and I refuse to look it up)

damn I forgot how rude Swerve is in early MTMTE, he's just out here roasting people unprompted

oh it's bc he's deflecting the fact that he's dying lmfAO fuck forgot about that part

“I know it's neither the time nor the place but damn we look good” it is always the time and place Sunstreaker, you are so FUCKING valid

honestly? Love the idea of the phobia shield. Love that kind of mind-fuckery, would've loved to see it used on more characters lmAO

MTMTE 6

absolutely love the combo of Rung and Whirl being Fort Max's hostages, love how harsh Whirl is, gimme that CONFLICT

aw come on Max don't deadname Roddy like that

oooouuhhguhgh Whirl tells his backstory only when Rung's life is threatened *points at Whirl* haha you caaaaaaaare

god I love how fucked up the way they pacify Fort Max is. Honestly this whole issue is fucked up and I love it

Knowing that Drift is on Overlord duty, his talk about how Red Alert is snooping around too much hits different lmAO

[artsy-hobbitses]

Did those angry eventually forgive sideswipe at least? How’d they react when Sides came back with sunny?

Yes! Bee was the first because while he was initially VERY MAD (his family is already broken, and Sunny manipulated Ironhide into breaking the pieces even further) he knows Sideswipe is not to blame for what actually happened, and a part of him even understands the desire to believe in that sliver of good in someone you really love, even when no one else—not even they themselves—wants to give it a chance. Sides didn’t “let” Sunny go, Sides gave Sunny a chance to own up, and Sunny ran. The only thing Sides is really guilty of is having the integrity that Sunny clearly, at that point, lacked. His growing relationship with his half-brother Cliffjumper definitely helped him realise how Sides feels and why he did what he did.

Ironhide knows he took out his anger over Sunny undeservingly on Sides and apologises/tries to make up for it once he gets the courage to do so (he’s somewhat subdued after his attempt to apologise to Mirage went sideways).

Mirage keeps his conversations with Sideswipe very curt, but does make it clear that while he thinks Sides is an idiot, what Sides did was not in ill will, and he needs Sides to buck the fuck up and stop wallowing in self-pity because he refuses to be the the crux of guilt that may compromise Sideswipe’s work. You are not your brother or his sins, and the team still needs you.

All three are understandably BRISTLING when Sideswipe returns with Sunny in tow. Bee’s spite is somewhat tempered by Sides explaining how Sunny saved his life and how Sunny’s back here to take accountability. Ironhide, who is visibly twitching with rage, remembers where blind rage got him last time and simply tells Sideswipe to make sure Sunny is properly debriefed and doesn’t run off again.

Mirage leaves immediately/doesn’t bother talking. Just tells Prowl to make sure that he won’t be assigned to work with Sunny ever again and it’s a request Prowl grants.

When Sunstreaker does try to apologise, Mirage tells him to drop it because while it’s good that Sunny is a ‘better man’ now and they’re still on the same side, he’s never going to forgive Sunny for instigating what was done to him.

hi i followed you bc i saw you post abt robot shipcest. what do you think of Sunstreaker/Sideswipe? theyre like the original TF twincest pairing

I knew someone would bring this up!! So I interrogated myself already

And I swear. Ok, so for some reason--

I know who they are. I remember their personality. I remember how they look. And I know that factually they are twins.

But for some damn reason, whenever I think about transformers who are canonically family related, my memory about them just corrupts itself. I always always never remember them.

I feel so bad because they are the blueprint. They are the orignals!!

I need to re-rewatch g1. I feel guilty 🤣

If i remembered, i know I would love them. I love them individually.

Im fixing it right now 🫣

Wait anon, please tell me about the ships you like! What are your thoughts on the OGs?

No pressure but id love to hear if you wanna say

“I just feel guilty for not being able to give the life she has to Sunstreaker and Sideswipe. They had to grow up so fast.” He frowned. “I haven’t had a day off since when Lunar was born, isn’t it a bit too soon for another one?”

Life without them

The arc was gone, and with it all the hope they had for finding a means to save Cybertron.

Elita, Chromia, Jetfire, Redalert and Shadowfangs were all that stood between the Decepticons and their conquest for Cybertron.

Shadowfangs slowly approached their leader and touched her arm. “It isn’t safe here.” She said quietly, we need to make shelter and quickly.” She murmured, not wanting to be caught in a fight with the seekers.

i’m gonna lose it

does anyone know what fic this is?

i remember so much about it and i don’t know why i didn’t fav it

anyways

i’m pretty sure it was on ffn and is set in bayverse

short description:

sunstreaker is looking for something to paint in a sketchy town

he’s incapacitated and stolen by a luxury car ring

sideswipe collapses on base b/c of sunstreaker’s electrocution

sunstreaker is being poisoned by car exhaust wherever he is

they discover this b/c sideswipe’s dying b/c his body thinks he’s being poisoned too

 ratchet has to give sideswipe the same toxin so he will produce the antibodies/fight it off and kickstart sunstreaker to do it too

it works but ratchet feels guilty about it b/c sideswipe was in agony

they end up finding sunstreaker in a container (on a truck? boat? idk)

the end i think?

long description:

sunstreaker is looking for a spot to paint and is parked in a sketchy town. he ends up getting stolen by a luxury car thieving ring, b/c they stick a box to his undercarriage that is called a “car-killer” which shorts out his electrical systems.

sideswipe is back at base (playing basketball i think) and suddenly stops in makes to run off in a certain direction, but collapses

everyone is trying to find sunstreaker while ratchet is taking care of sideswipe

they keep asking sideswipe to report sunstreaker’s location and even unconscious he can ping them sunstreaker’s location, but it’s in the middle of the ocean

sideswipe’s system thinks it’s dying from car exhaust poisoning, but it’s actually sunstreaker that’s dying from it and sideswipe’s system is just reacting the same way

ratchet ends up injecting sideswipe with the toxin so that sideswipe’s system will produce antibodies to fight the poison and in turn kickstart sunstreaker (wherever he is) to actually fight the poison

ratchet is super conflicted and guilty about it b/c it puts sideswipe in agony, but it works

they eventually find sunstreaker in a container (not sure if he’s on a ship or on a truck or what)

again, not sure how i remember so much about this fic, but cannot find it on ffn or thru google for the life of me

 please help

everyone please give @daebereth the biggest round of applause for jogging my memory of the rest of the fic and letting me find it

Reasons to Go On by Zea T

is the fcking fic and I still don’t know why I didn’t fav it in the first place bUT ALAS I have it now

EDIT: if y’all end up reading don’t forget to comment!! it ain’t hard!

For extra angst in the vortex au, what if Jazz made it pretty clear to Prowl that he thought Prowl wasn’t much better than a drone. Maybe because of a combination of CD’s rumours and some tactical decisions that Jazz deeply disagreed with.

… then Prowl saves the twins’ lives and he feels guilty…

Though Jazz heard the Twins calling for him, he did not open the vault.  They were too young to see this, they had already heard enough. Prowl’s optics remained black as Jazz covered him with a warming blanket. He deserved some modicum of dignity after his ordeal. The vault was sealed; his twins were alive which meant through unspeakable torture, Prowl had somehow found the fortitude not to surrender the access code to Vortex. It was not actually a surprise, this was Prowl. Unicron could not make him speak if he did not want to. Unicron could not make him silent if he wanted to speak. Ratchet was going to have cyber-kittens when he saw the state Prowl was in; Vortex was going to be on everyone’s hit list. He topped the list on Jazz’s on. It was not a metaphorical list either; Jazz had every intention of crossing that sadistic freak’s designation off of it.

“Geni, Geni, Geni,” Jazz heard Sunstreaker calling to him.

“‘M here Sunshine,” Jazz soothed. “Just as soon as it’s safe, I’ll get ya out.”

“Is he alive?” Sunstreaker asked. “He got so quiet.”

“Prowl’s alive,” Jazz said. He lied as he looked down at the Praxian. “He’s gonna be okay.”

There was no medicentre in the Manganese base, Ratchet cursed colourfully and he called for Optimus. Most repairs would have to wait until Iacon. If Ratchet could not stop the hemorrhaging from his valve, Prowl not be alive when they landed in Iacon. Ratchet felt inside what remained of Prowl’s valve, searching for the leak by touch alone. With growing horror, Jazz realized Vortex had eaten the external components. His creations had heard all of this. The scent of melting wire and sentio-metallico hit Jazz’s olfactory ridge and he heard the sizzle as Ratchet welded bits of Prowl’s insides together. He pulled his bloodied servo out from Prowl frame and wiped it of on one of the clothes he always kept close at servo and ran his scanners over Prowl again. The sight of the still fresh transfluids splattering the inside of Prowl’s spark chamber was horrifying. It had to have been a final insult before Vortex had rushed off to join his gestaltmates.

“He’s stable,” Ratchet declared.

He might actually live, Jazz realized and he was gladder than he would ever have thought to be. The drone spark had saved his Twins, Jazz had a life debt he could not ever imagine being able to pay. No one liked being in Prowl’s debt, he remembered them well, but given the alternative, Jazz would willingly pay with his life and his service a thousand times over. Optimus jogged up and stood stock still as he absorbed the sight of his Second, a broken ruin, lying in a pool of mechfluid. He did not stay frozen for long. With a gentleness that always surprised Jazz, given the Prime’s strength, Optimus wrapped Prowl in the blanket Jazz had covered him with and carefully lifted him off the floor.

“Quick,” Ratchet ordered. He jogged alongside Optimus as they raced off.

“Geni, Geni, Geni,” the Twins sobbed against his chassis when Jazz was finally able to open the vault. Though he had covered the worst of the horrorific mess on the floor with a blanket. But Prowl's energon and bits of his sentio-metallico and internal components had splattered the walls.

"I got ya Sweetsparks," Jazz held his creations to his chassis as he crooned. "'M gonna cover ya wit a blanket, then we're gonna get outta here."

"Is Prowl okay?" Sunstreaker asked, tears falling down his face.

"He will be after Ratchet’s done wit 'em," Jazz said and he hoped it was not a lie.
