#but it's not even like he's using starscream

[sunrisecaminus]

HIII, I LOVE YOUR WRITING SM, ITS SRSLY SO SCRUMPTIOUS? <333

I wanted to request bumblebee/ratchet/knockout/ megatron headcanons of them finding reader working on a lot of figurines and their vehicle models. I want to see how the bots would react? (Esp ratchet, I love that grumpy old man sm)

Message - DUDE JBVPAVHUBSVO! I wish I could write more, but this is all I could think of. Also awe thanks! Don't make me blush :3

Bumblebee/Knockout/Ratchet/Megatron x Reader Headcanons

Summary - Human makes their Cybertronians friend a figurine of their alt mode. All their reactions to you making them the cutest thing ever.

Warning - Cute

Bumblebee

When he finds your little workshop, watching you making a polished figurine of his car, he was fully supportive of it. He loved everything that you did and every time he saw you making your projects, Bee stays around and observes how you make the details. There is a cute joke you guys do by telling him to "freeze!!!" when he is in his alt mode. You take pictures of what he looks like to help yourself have references. Bumblebee would try so hard not to make any sound while you work, but if you ask him if he likes it…you would get loud excited beeping about how beautiful you made him. The fact he would keep every single one of them will show you how much he appreciates them. If someone told you that the figurines suck, Bumblebee would go wild and make sure that person never comes close to you again. It's funny how mad he gets to protect you, but honestly its very sweet.

Knockout

Now, Knockout would be the most obnoxious person about finding out about your skill. This man would kiss and snuggle you every day for the rest of your life after he knows. Need references? Just ask him and he would stay in his alt mode for long periods of time so you can have one you could actually look at in person. Do you understand how much this guy would adore you? Do you understand how much he adores HIMSELF?! Do you remember how in the show, Starscream would brag to everyone how he was the one to kill cliffjumper? YEAH THAT'S KNOCKOUT! "Did you know I am a hired model? My body is so beautiful, a master of sculpting is using it for their art projects~" He will say it every where. Starscream being annoying? Knockout brags about being a model. Arachnid being a threatening meanie? Knockout will say you were useful for showing off his sexy body in sculptures. Megatron mad at him for having an unsuccessful mission? "Well big M, at least today I am going to outshine everyone on this ship by getting a sculpture version of me." He is weirdly supportive of it…in his own way. Knockout would cherish everything you do and even help buy you better supplies to help you improve. Everyday he would see you working on one and you would just feel a little kiss on your head to feel his loving energy.

Ratchet

"What in the Allspark are you doing? I am not someone for you to just make a replica of!" Yeah Ratchet is very much flustered about the whole thing. You making a figurine of his alt mode was adorable though, seeing a miniature him was so embarrassing. What you secretly don't know is that he put the figures up on the desk he has so he can appreciate your crafts while working. Does he wish you would just stop? Yes. Is he going to tell you? No! He would never tell you to stop doing things you like, just please stop making sculptures of him. He would try to nit pick the figurine to make you think you didn't do good and that would make you not sculpt him anymore, but when he saw how upset you got, thinking you made him look ugly…yeah he broke. Now he just blushes and says it looks good whenever you show him your finished product. Not a warm and fuzzy kind of guy, but he would secretly buy you more materials online so you could continue your dreams and passions. He understands the feeling of being good at your job, and doesn't want to ruin that for you. If he heard someone talk crap about your projects, Ratchet might get suspended for medical malpractice later.

Megatron

OF COURSE THIS EGOTISTICAL WARLORD LIKES IT! He would put the damn thing next to his throne to look at it from time to time. "Make me another or I will use you for target practice!" Anyone who says you are bad at making figurines will DIE. Don't question the decapitated body in the corner, please don't even mention it. He would title you are an architect on his ship and give you a respectable salary if you keep making him stuff. It doesn't even have to be sculptures of him. Make him a model of the ship and he would use it as a 3d blueprint whenever he wants to upgrade something on the ship. "And you see here, this is where I want the new engines to be placed." Starscream thinks this shit is stupid. Will he ever tell Megatron? FRAG NO! You are now the lord's favorite and nothing will change that. He would sit you on the arm of his throne and pet you on the top of your head. You will never leave, you will never switch sides, and you will never be killed. Oh and his threats are fake, that man secretly loves you and would never lay a finger on you. He would send a figure to Optimus as a "look at what my soldiers do for me" type shit. Bro, you could tell him that someone ruined your project and he would literally walk around the ship with you on his shoulder, asking you to point out who. Even if it was Airachnid, nah, bye Airachnid! He would not care who it was, do not ruin his pet's MASTERPIECE!

[transformers-spike]

Decepticons would be so jealous over their humans vibrator, if they ever caught them using it, if Shockwave didn't make one for them he's already destroying it and self commissioning a new one cause how dare you betray them like this!!! You want something that vibrates? Their servo can do that you don't need a measley human machine to please yourself, just ask them. Knockout would be the worst jerk about it while not wanting to admit how attached he is to his fleshie human and probably break it while their asleep so they HAVE to come to him for pleasure.

Human & Knockout: *looking down at the broken vibrator very clearly pummeled and broken no way a vibrator should break.*

Knockout: Well, guess you used it too hard human, guess you'll have to ask me to please you now *cue devious smirk*

LMAO THESE PETTY BITCHES Shockwave, Knock Out, Megatron and Starscream are horrible when it comes to your vibrator. Like they're so desperate for you they can't even act like the grown ass adults they are and take the L Breakdown would be jealous but would have the decency to leave your poor vibrator alone, while Dreadwing respects your personal boundaries. Don't trust Airachnid tho, she'll bind you and dial the max setting on that thing I'm screaming because all I can think of is the human going

after Knock Out pulls this shit. Megatron is probably the worst because his solution to the situation is keeping you around 24/7. So if you want to be pleasured, he's your best bet. Megan, please, your spike's destroying my insides, I need medical help asap

love the starscream - sideways dynamic in tf cybertron. starscream is so eldest sibling coded and despite hating on megatron he's pretty nice to thundercracker, who is the only other decepticon at the start of the show and undeniably The Little Bro of All Time. as a result screamer has pretty high tolerance for slightly annoying, very silly, and extremely endearing younger sibling behaviour. meanwhile sideways just happens to also fit the profile of a slightly annoying, very silly, and extremely endearing younger sibling figure, and arguably takes on tc's role after starscream betrays the decepticons (starscream doesn't even do anything especially malicious at that point, he just harmlessly traps megs, tc, and the decepticon boys dirty bubble style. it makes me think that he probably would have gone back for the group after he had finished things up on earth). i would also say sideways had plenty of opportunities to double cross starscream (and he's ultimately a third party with his own goals so it'd make sense if that did happen), but like, he chooses to rescue starscream after the guy blacks out from some insane fights (one of which was against primus himself) and ends up following screamer around like an orphaned duckling for the rest of the series. sure starscream is bossy and occasionally standoffish and scolds sideways with all the pomp and experience of someone who knows they have older sibling authority but he honestly doesn't even seem that mad when sideways does goof off during critical moments. they're so silly together and i wish we got more of them interacting. also when sideway's actual big bro soundwave makes an entrance he's somehow even sassier than starscream, which explains why (to me) sideways was ok hanging out with star even though he whined about it sometimes---he's just used to being the lil bro to an older sibling who has a lot of personality and is locked in

[yume-writes]

Hello again.

I have been re-reading all of your MCB posts, and I realized there are some potential funny moments with the cardbots. So buckle up, this will be a long post.

1)

I don't know how much you know abt S2 cardbots, but there's Sky Gallop, and basically he can turn into a centaur. All I can think in my head is the Cybertronians getting bamboozled when he activates his ability and goes from man to horseman. Is he a beastformer? Where did he get the horse part? Nobody knows! When Miko heard they had a robot centaur, she started the discussion: "Centaurs are insects."

Sky Gallop: Oh. This. I don't like this.

2)

Then there's Black Hook (my fav; I do love funky pirates), who is currently allied with the Autobots, and he's a flying ship. Think of all the energon they can shove onto this bad boy (smack ship)! I think personally he's against the ideas at first, but then after some convincing and the thrill of running away after stealing stuff will get to him.

Sometimes in order to find where he went (he's a free spirit; of course he will disappear once in a while) is to let Heavy Iron out on a mission. Not even a moment later, BH will show up just to watch him get punched in the face when fighting cons; it's his favorite entertainment. The same method can be used for Heavy Iron.

Also, the kids would absolutely introduce him to Peter Pan.

3)

From the cartoon, we know the cardbots are terrified of monsters (lmao the rail climbing), and in TFP we have Insecticons + Predacons. I think the cardbots would be shocked by Predaking first since he's technically a dragon, but afterward they saw his mech form, so it's like a Sky Gallop situation but backward. If they had a chance, the cardbots would just surround him with questions, especially Shadow X, I think this is right up his alley.

On the other hand, Insecticons are to stay away no matter what.

The Autobots conveniently all forget to mention the vampire abominations Starscream made.

4)

I don't remember which episode it was, but the cardbots can go swimming with no problems, walking underwater even. This would surprise the Autobots since they do get rust and all sorts of stuff when they come in contact with water of any kind.

Because they're staying in a desert, sand's everywhere, so of course everyone is hella dusty and gross. Usually the bots would ask Fowler for solvents or go to the car wash. Fowler would be grumbling about the expenses since there are more bots now. The cardbots are like, "Don't worry, we can save the money," and just groundbridged themselves to the nearest lake to take a dip.

Ratchet nearly has a spark attack right there before being explained mcb biology, but he still checks them after these trips sometimes just to be sure.

5)

I love that the asks are starting to be about team healing now, we're progressing UvU.

However: Airachnid + trophy hunting.

The Autobots almost forgot about her until one incident where Shadow X or Blue Cop, said they felt someone had been watching them and maybe someone nearly got caught in a trap. Arcee warned them of her. Since mcb technically don't exist in TFP, they would be considered a rare species, not to mention they have individual abilities. She would absolutely try to hunt them.

Honestly, TFP is like a death world to them, where their own universe is bound by cartoon logic.

MCB x TFP crossover

Hello again!!! Even though there are a bunch of angst in this crossover it's always nice to have some funny stuff!!

I know about Sky Gallop, but I never thought about how team prime would react to them! The weapon cards from the cardbots confuse them already, those cards appear out of thin air!!! How is that normal!! But seeing Sky Gallop pull out a whole horse body out of thin air would break some of them. When Miko brings up the discussion Ratchet leaves the room, he doesn't want anything to do with that. Sky Gallop is about to follow after him

Black Hook is against it and then hears he gets to steal essentially treasure from the cons and is one board. Whenever he flies off with the energon you can hear him laughing as the cons chase after him. By this point whenever BH or HI disappears none of the bots panic anymore. They just send one of them in and it's all ok! They do panic if the other doesn't show though

The cardbots get used to Predacons eventually, the fact he has a root form helps lots. But the first time they saw him Bluecop's optics turned white, he was terrified about the dragon. I don't blame the Cardbots for being scared of the Insecticons, have you heard the sounds/screams they make? Those are scary, the cardbots could hear a distance scream of one and they would be running the other direction

Shadow X dives into the lake and Ratchet almost has a spark attack and would have honestly dive in after him to get him out if the others didn't stop him. Ratchet is like a lifeguard, his colors match! Shadow X does sometimes pretend to splash him and Ratchet throws a bunch of dirt at his face, dunking Shadow X back into the water, sputtering

It is nice that the bots had a bit of a break, but that's over, none of them can have a nice life on my blog, sorry y'all

Shadow X is very unnerved about being watched by someone who he can't see, he's the spy! Dexter goes out into the woods one day wanting to see some animals and almost gets caught by Airachnid. Airachnid wants to get her servos on one of them, and she's especially curious about the Metal Breath

Also, yeah, the tones between the two shows are very different, Metal Cardbot has the whole 'Friendship can overcome anything' thing going on and Transformers Prime kills Cliffjumper on screen in the first episode, the cardbots are tired of this universe

[cosmics-beings]

if terminus and starscream ever became a thing i 100% think that somehow a decepticon 2.0 movement would come out of it. it would be a more peaceful one IMO, but also still very radical...

i think terminus would rule from the background, and just influence starscream from the shadows. if starscream was the leader of Cybertron, terminus would take that as a chance to push forward a more tolerant decepticon government, something starscream wouldn't adjust too after getting to know terminus.

[mrmeepsmadmind]

bee's protective nature over anyone persists even as a ghost & i think he sometimes forgets or doesn't care that only star can see him (sadly no touch tho) & will start shouting & angrily try standing between people who are mad at starscream even tho he can't be seen, he just wants to try & help anyways bcs STOP IT >:(!! BE NICE !!!! cried the ghost no one can hear or see except for the poor guy getting yelled at & trying to overhear the conversation over bee's frantic rebuttals while trying to discreetly let bee know it's ok while ALSO trying not to look Insane .

continued attempt at a 4am drawn doodle comic below

i might draw detailed later but yeah i just wanted to give yall this headcanon bcs i love starbee so much... the nagging wives finally finding their true loves... another nagging wife.

' you .. do know only i can hear and see you, unfortunately, right? or are you starting to go loopy, because i don't need another insane figure haunting me. I have enough already, as you can try and fail to imagine, little bee . '

' trust me, im Well aware .. of everything you just said . .. but i just. i couldn't just Stand there and do Nothing while someone talked to you like You were Nothing . that's not the autobot way. that's not- my way . '

' . . . '

[authoratmidnight]

I've always wondered if like, whenever he returned from his self imposed exile (or whatever the fuck he was doing when he buggered off post Unicron fight), if Megatron like, actually missed Optimus now that he's dead.

Cause like yeah yeah, destined, mortal enemies and all that but, at the same time, they were friends once. And like, that's got to suck having him be *actually* dead now. The one thing Megatron seemed to actually want, he's got it now and, what if it turns out it kind of sucks to have, actually?

And then I realized. Motherfucker may not even REALIZE the Prime is dead until he returns. Cause when he left, Optimus was alive. Guy didn't die to save Cybertron till *after* the fact.

So like. Can you just imagine how much worse that is? He comes back after, potentially years of self imposed exile, only to find that his oldest friend and enemy fucking DIED like. Hours after he left.

And he never got to say goodbye.

[21ducky]

I have a transformers visual history book, right

Okok, so there's a little promotional thing that's really cute

I literally just found Starscream and-

Sword meme anyone?

[trashhicon]

Who’s he winking at? 🤨

And some star & bee studies

[robby-bobby-tommy]

I dunno why but it's one of the funniest moments in TF:Exodus. Like, the way Megatron just ignores Shockwsve's words makes me think it wasn't the first time. Like "yeah, yeah, you might desire to conduct an inhumane experiment on me, but check out my new name".

But Shockwave and Soundwave are such good besties. No questions asked, just be who u wanna be.

Also my personal hc that Shockwave and Megatron met through Soundwave. 2waves already knew each other, cuz Shock used to patch Sound up. And after Megatronus fought Soundwave, the latter was very interested in his opponent, so he sent Laserbeak Rumble and Frenzy to spy on the best gladiator. He wasn't really happy with cassettes following him, but once they explained themselves he decided to meet with Soundwave again. After they've gotten closer and became brothers in arm, Sound decided to introduce gladiator doctor/unhumain scientist. Megatron really wasn't happy with Shockwave using gladiator's corpses for his own caprice. Yet he was still useful for the cause so he had to tolerate scientist. After all of them became kinda close. They had a very strange type of friendship, but it worked and no one complained.

first impressions

[kandicon]

Slow burn where Jazz (mods georg and terrorizer of health professionals everywhere) exclusively goes to Starscream (also mods georg and technically a medic that almost no one trusts to use if they like their internals) for medical treatment that he can't do on his own- because no one else gets it- despite their vastly different ideals. There can't be a single situation they can't handle and the very thought of being unprepared drives both of them up a wall. And they both put up their fake friendly personas up to max even though they both know the other isn't falling for it.

Starscream will call up Jazz in the middle of the night (knowing damn well he wasn't asleep) and without even a hello be like: I installed an upgrade to make certain neck cables give off enough of an electric shock so anyone who touches them is forced into stasis.

"The same cables that feed power directly to the brain module?"

"Obviously."

And then Jazz is on his doorstep five minutes later with very noticeable tire trails behind him to betray his speeding.

Like Jazz only has more mods by a very small margin but Starscream has more illegal mods than Jazz (by a slightly larger but still tiny margin). Everybody thinks Jazz is just getting either two am booty calls or out of v important special ops business. He thinks he's doing the latter but instead he's acting exactly like Red Alert in a bad spiral, just being quiet about it.

Jazz is slowly falling for the giddy little face and excited wing flapping Starscream does every time he requests something like all his data ports exploding at once if someone jacks in without his permission. And Starscream thinks he's safe but the twenty minutes after surgery, with energon still on his hands, he'll go up to his trinemates and gush like "Oh Skywarp he was so cooperative he even laid on the table willingly! Even you weren't as still when I beat you unconscious for the same upgrade!" And Skywarp will be like "Wait, is THAT why I woke up in an alleyway three days ago?!"

They're fueling each other's metal issues sooooooo much. If Ratchet saw either of their insides he'd have a spark attack on the spot. Both of their codings are absolute messes only decipherable to them bc Starscream wants that extra layer of protection AND he never learned how to code right in the first place.

One of these days they're gonna get caught from Starscream dropping everything in the middle of a battle if Jazz gets hurt. He just NEEDS to see how damaged coolant lines will affect his already easily-overheated taxing systems. Shhh, shhhh yes, look, red person. Totally means I'm Ratchet, your visor is just malfunctioning. Now *rips open chassis and pulls out syringe filled with ominously glowing liquid* let's see what happens when we inject this directly into your spark chamber :)

[praesaepe]

implied skybound 16 spoilers //

still thinking about today's issue... and the cover for next month's issue... if thunderw*rp goes canon ill explode for real

[comrade-slugcat]

hm.. I have to wonder how squishing a person would actually feel

[lockheed-martin-unofficial]

Buckle up, folks, and prepare yourself for spoilers!

Because we’re going to be analyzing this scene today. And I’m going to explain why Starscream could’ve won.

After D-16’s initial attack, Starscream falls back to recover, and quickly counters with some skilled aerial maneuvers. Here’s a post so you can appreciate it better. Starscream is taking full advantage of his flight ability here. He’s leading the high guard, of course he’s going to be good at flying.

Side note: we don’t know if Starscream is the official leader of the high guard, do we? Maybe he just claimed leadership after they went into exile. It would be fun to think about.

As an extra note: Starscream is using his thrusters to carry both of them, holding D-16 up by the neck.

Extra extra note: D-16 kicks Starscream between the legs.

Now look at this. Here’s when D-16 transforms his foot to kick starscream off.

It all happens in a split second, but I tried my best to get screenshots.

Do you get what I’m trying to show?

Starscream angles his body forward, with the thrusters still on, before D-16 makes contact with him. He sees the kick coming, and he moves to counter it. When he realises he’s not fast enough to counter, he lets go of right D-16 before the impact in order to make sure he’s flung backwards instead of being injured. If he was still holding on, the damage would’ve been far more severe.

Sure, I find it a little surprising that a guy who can fly would fall in his butt, but I think I can explain it away. The thrusters are turned off when he’s kicked, but they return while he’s flying away. I think that may have been accidental. Maybe he intended to right himself midair and fly away but was unsuccessful, maybe he didn’t mean to activate them.

Either way, it contributes to him landing rougher than he would’ve intended. While I’m here, I want to point out D-16’s little swing off the wall to land next to Starscream. Very graceful.

Right before and right after getting punched in the face. There is momentary surprise, but no fear. He doesn’t flinch, he doesn’t take time to recover. One second of scowling, and then “HIT ME!” He doesn’t even need to catch his breath.

Slowing the scene you can see the punches have Starscream’s neck bent at an over 90 degree angle. Not only does he not react to the pain at all, but he also KEEPS ENCOURAGING HIS OPPONENT.

His body language and behavior is confident while he’s being punched. Only when D-16 turns his attention to the crowd does Starscream attempt to free himself.

He’s intentionally antagonizing his opponent, making D-16 drop his guard and focus on giving the crowd a show, he takes the punches like they’re nothing and only tries to break free when D-16 looks away.

Focus on Starscream’s hands here. D-16 loses his focus, Starscream is very clearly trying to pry him off.

And here, just a few seconds later. First his hand is just… sitting there, not making any attempt to pry off the guy squeezing his throat (presumably very painful) and instead continuing to yell (presumably very painful). And then he Grabs and Pulls Him Closer. This isn’t the body language of a person who’s afraid, Starscream was biding his time and waiting for the opportunity to catch D-16 off guard, use a sudden moment of distraction to his advantage.

We only see fear from him at the very end. Only when he sees the arm cannon which is something nobody expected. Not even D-16 himself. From Starscream’s perspective he was waiting for the perfect moment to strike, to overpower an enemy who is stronger but less skilled and experienced than him, all the while giving the troops a good show. And then the guy pulls out THAT THING to his face.

You can see the moment he knew he fucked up. There’s nothing he can do after that except ask for mercy.

It’s my personal belief that had the battle lasted longer, and had D-16 not discovered his Murder Arm, Starscream would’ve won.

And although I’m not disappointed in this outcome, I would’ve also loved if D-16 had the upper hand physically but still got defeated due to Starscream’s cunning and experience. We would’ve seen Starscream show his talent, and seen that D-16 still has a long way to go.
