Sparks in conflict

The chill of the desert night was a sharp contrast to the simmering tension between the two Autobots as they sped across a desert. Arcee’s sleek blue motorcycle form hummed softly beside you, her engine purring like a cat. Your own form, a sports car with deep (f/c) detailing that glinted under the dim moonlight. You could feel her optics on you even now, filled with distrust and frustration.

“This is ridiculous,” Arcee muttered through the comms, her tone cutting like a blade. “I don’t understand why Optimus paired us together.”

“Believe me, it’s not my idea of a good time either,” you replied coldly, trying to keep your irritation in check. “I’d rather be anywhere but here, babysitting your self-righteous spark.”

“Babysitting? I’m the one in charge of the mission, don’t forget that you cold-constructed con,” she snapped. “You shouldn’t even be here. Optimus made a mistake by allowing you to stay”

Your grip on the metaphorical wheel tightened. It was obvious that the autoboots weren’t happy with working with you, but at least most of them have the decency to keep their discomfort to themselves but Arcee had always been vocal about it “I am no decepticon” you said with clear anger on your voice

“Doesn’t change what you are,” Arcee shot back. “You’re a weapon. A Decepticon-designed killing machine. With no regard for innocent lives, and no concept of loyalty, I don’t trust you not to try and kill us when Megatron gives the order” she say as both of you arrive at your destination changing into you alt forms

 “you know what?” you said with a smile of anger on your Faceplate “I may be a cold-constructed Freak as you so graciously remind me everyday, I may have been forged to serve the decepticons, but that doesn’t make you better than me” as you talk you walk closer to her, “Because unlike you I keep my partners Alive”

The silence that followed was to say the least uncomfortable. you could feel the weight of your words. Her optics glaring at you, she was seconds away to lose it

“Shut up” Arcee hissed, her voice low and venomous.

“or what? You are going to make sure I join the ongoing list of partners that have died at your side?” you teased, perhaps it wasn’t the best idea but you were tired of the autobots attitude towards you

Before she could respond, a blast went off close to the two

“Decepticons” you said, shifting towards the upcoming vehicons “Looks like this conversation have to wait"

Arcee didn’t respond, she just ready her weapons and start fighting back, that was all confirmation you needed.

---

The battlefield was chaos. Blaster fire lit up the dark sands, explosions illuminating the silhouettes of the Vehicons. You moved with precision, every shot and strike calculated, dispatching Vehicons was just to easy to you, you knew their maneuvers and tactics, you knew how to fight them it was one of the few things Shockwave made you do as training once you were completed. Arcee was a blur, her blades slicing through the enemy ranks with practiced ease. Yet, even in the heat of battle, the tension between you two lingered.

“Behind you!” you called, firing a shot that narrowly missed her shoulder to take out a drone creeping up behind her.

“I didn’t need your help!” she snapped, spinning to cut down another attacker.

“Could’ve fooled me,” you retorted, dodging a missile and returning fire.

Another wave of drones descended, forcing the two of you to fight back-to-back. Despite the hostility, your movements were synchronized, Yet, the argument continued, woven into the chaos.

“You know,” Arcee grunted as she drove her blade into a drone, “no matter how much you try, you’ll never be an autobot.”

“Funny,” you said, kicking a drone aside and firing point-blank into its chest. “Because I don’t remember asking for your approval. All I want is a bit of trust”

“You don’t get it,” she snarled, blocking an incoming strike. “We’ve fought your kind for eons. Trust isn’t something you can just earn overnight.”

“They are not my kind,” you shot back, your voice rising as you tore through another Vehicone, with perphaps more violence than needed. “I left behind everything I knew, I betrayed those who created me, risking everything to fight for something better. I'm nothing like them”

“Then prove it!” she shouted, her voice filled with frustration and pain.

“I’ve been proving it every day since I joined!” you yelled, the heat of the argument nearly drowning out the sound of battle. “But maybe you’re just too blinded by your own Prejudice to see it.”

The moment your words left your vocal processor, the ground shook as a Decepticon brute landed nearby, swinging a massive hammer. The force of its strike sent both you and Arcee flying. You hit the ground hard, your systems sparking in protest. Arcee wasn’t as lucky, a jagged piece of debris piercing her side as she landed.

“Arcee!” you shouted, scrambling to your feet.

“Stay back!” she hissed, her optics flickering as she tried to rise. The brute loomed over her, hammer raised for the killing blow.

Without thinking, you launched yourself at the Decepticon. The brute was tough, but a well-placed shot to its head, the brute crumpled to the ground.

Breathing heavily, you turned back to Arcee. She was slumped against a rock, energon pooling beneath her. Her optics narrowed as you approached.

“Don’t—” she started, but her voice faltered as pain overtook her.

“Shut up, You rust-headed glitch” you snapped, kneeling beside her. “I’m not letting you die out here.”

She flinched as you carefully examined her wound, her expression a mix of anger and reluctant acceptance. “You don’t have to do this.”

“Yes, I do,” you said firmly, activating your repair tools. “Whether you like it or not, we’re on the same side now.”

Arcee grimaced but didn’t protest further, her optics fixed on you as you worked. The silence between you was heavy.

“Why?” she finally asked, her voice softer than before. “Why do you care?”

You paused, meeting her gaze. “I told you, I keep my partners Alive” you said quietly. “even you.”

For the first time, Arcee didn’t have a sharp reply. Instead, she simply nodded, the faintest hint of gratitude in her optics.

---

By the time the groundbridge open, Arcee was leaning heavily on you, her injuries slowing her down. When the rest of the team arrived, they looked between the two but no one said anything.

As the Ratchet rushed to tend to Arcee, she glanced back at you. “Maybe... maybe I was too harsh on you” she admitted reluctantly.

“Maybe,” you said with a small, tired smirk. “and Maybe I was a bit out of line with what I said”

Arcee huffed a faint laugh, the first sign of something other than disdain since you’d met her. It wasn’t a perfect resolution, but it was a start. And for now, that was enough.

[artxssa]

The Nr.1 Prime fanboy in his element

[novafire-is-thinking]

This short exchange says so much about each of them.

Ratchet: I love Optimus, but my hatred for Megatron is bigger. Both blind me to any consideration for Arcee’s and Bumblebee’s safety.

Arcee: My love for Optimus is more important than Ratchet’s hatred for Megatron, but doubts about my safety make me hesitate.

Bumblebee: My love for Optimus is more important than Ratchet’s hatred for Megatron, and my safety.

In no way do I fault Ratchet for falling back on his hatred, or Arcee for falling back on self-preservation.

However, I wonder if either of them had any regrets after the fact…or if Optimus was conscious during the exchange, did it affect how he saw them?

Why I think Miko Nakadai is arguably the best human character in TFP

Don't misunderstand, I know Miko was handled haphazardly throughout the series' run. That said, aside from her skipping off into the battlefield, she was actually a great character - and, in my personal opinion, the actual audience surrogate character in TFP.

Now, let me explain.

Although Miko's backstory is told and not shown - a rich daughter who had everything she could ever want, up to and including two pure-breed cats and piano lessons from age three onwards (which, coincidentally, tells us she's brainy despite her antics) - much can be inferred from what snippets of her past we get, along with her interactions with the Autobots. For one, she obviously can't stand most adult supervision, which is likely because of a few things. For one, back home in Japan, Miko would have had to be proper and polite, always restrained, and had to do what she was told. While this is normal (to an extent) in the West, in the East this is etiquette that needs to be obeyed, especially if you're as well off as she is; her actions, specifically in Japan, will reflect on her parents, but to a far lesser extent in America. Thus, when presented with the freedoms of the USA, Miko not only jumps at the chance for an exchange program that will give her the mobility she craves, she also chooses the place that has the least amount of glamor. By extension of choosing to settle in Jasper, Miko's also displaying two other traits: she's not afraid of going to a place vastly different from her home, and she isn't disgusted by a small town with very little monetary value to it.

Secondly, Miko's disregard for authority from adults but deference to the 'Bots teases us with an insecurity - namely, an insecurity that no adult ever gives her a chance to make her own decisions.

Just think about it: All the times Miko's blown off the human adults, it's when they've tried to decide her life for her. Miko has, from what we can see, had her whole life dictated, up to and including those piano lessons. She may be a prodigy at almost everything, but her preferred instrument is the guitar - and yet, she wasn't given lessons in that from the time she was a toddler. Therefore, she feels confined and controlled by the authority of her elders. And so, while Miko may be able to sway Bulkhead into getting her out of detention and consistently slip past the watchful eyes of the 'Bots, it's out of a desperate motivation to control her own life. Now, she does hold too much interest in the battles and getting to watch them, but wouldn't you have that same eagerness if Gundams or Jaegers came to life before your eyes? Yes, she knows their lives are in danger, that they couldn't come home, but there's still a fantastical element to all of this about the Autobots. And it remains so because while she loves them all, Bulkhead is the only one who, while giving her life advice and trying to keep her in check/alive, lets her make her own decisions and take control of her life and her actions.

And that's why she keeps going to the field. That's why she only listens to the reprimands with half an ear and why she recovers so fast from Optimus' near death experiences, as well as Raf's close call with death.

And that's why Miko's world shatters when Bulkhead is left in a half-dead coma from his fight with Hardshell. Because the one person in the universe who gave her freedom and care without deciding her life for her was not just seriously injured, but possibly on death's door.

That's why Miko runs around without a care until the S2 episode "Hurt": because she wants autonomy to decide her life, even if it's stupid choices that could get her killed.

And after "Hurt", we see a new Miko. Yes, she remains gung-ho and fierce, but she stops running onto the battlefield. She takes less enjoyment from the War. Because now, with the reality of war fresh in her mind, she knows the risks and the stakes involved, and she will never take that or her friends for granted anymore. This is further proved when Miko 'sneaks' along for "Chain of Command", but with a twist: she asks Wheeljack if she can come along - and if memory serves, this is the first mission Bulkhead's been on with herself present since the events before "Hurt". Clearly, Miko is still worried about losing Bulkhead - only, this time, she values the words of the 'Bots, and now seeks permission to join a mission, though she wisely asks Wheeljack for this blessing.

This is the beautiful part of her arc, crowned by her battle with Starscream and his Seekers (which is also just straight up awesome.) When she's kicked the afts of everyone, and Starscream tries to intimidate her with his usual "I killed Cliffjumper" speech, Miko's response is this calm, slightly rough, retort:

"Big whoop. I snuffed Hardshell."

In this moment, Miko Nakadai is shown to have grown from an excitable child into an unyielding, but mature, adult warrior. She no longer treats the War and the 'Bots like a game, or a release. She treats them as her friends who she will gladly risk her own life for.

And that, in my opinion, makes her the best human protagonist in all of Transformers: Prime, and Transformers media in general.

As for what I said earlier about her being the true audience surrogate, be honest with yourselves: If any of us were given the chance to meet the Autobots, wouldn't you be just as irrepressible as Miko, as eager to help as she was, and tempted to go to the battlefield to see the action/make sure your 'Bot wasn't going to die? That's what I mean when I say she's the audience surrogate - Miko acts like we would, and learns as we would about the War and the 'Bots if we suddenly came across them.

That's my two cents on Miko, and why she's the human character I respect the most in Transformers...probably of all time. If you liked it, I'm glad; Miko deserves better, and I hope I explained why well.

Til next time, folks!

"Autobots, transform!"

I just think it would be cute like after a long mission or something, June goes "mom mode" with the bots, especially with Arcee. I think there was potential for them to interact more <3

Idk I thought this up on a long car ride home

[chamom1le-t3a]

if Arcee ws back @ base in the scraplet episode
