What is your Final Act as a Villain?

you were killed by the hero, and they regret it it was raining, and maybe they couldn't see properly. everything was mixed together like mud and clay, and they just kept digging digging digging. they didn't mean to go this far! they thought they could change your mind! and now you're lying on the cold, wet ground, your blood mixing with the rain, and your hero holds onto your face and screams at you to get up.

the hero decides to join you you blink, but they're still standing there. they're still awaiting your answer. 'can they work with you'-- what kind of question is that? can they throw away their whole life? can they corrupt their morality? maybe this is a trap. maybe they're going to betray you the moment you take their hand... maybe you don't care. maybe you'll take your chances.

your plan fails, and you are taken into custody your hero has your arms behind your back. you scoff and shuffle your feet. you didn't fail, not really. just look at all this chaos. just look at all this fire. your hero finishes adjusting your handcuffs, and they push you forward. you begin your walk to whatever detention facility they're taking you to this time, and they grab onto your arm. your hero looks at you and says, "evil doesn't win. i've told you that." the flames reach impossibly higher, and there is nothing that is not alight. you look to them and smile.

Well, a few people voted so far and they're all curious on who KitKat Jesus is. I'm gonna keep my mouth shut so you can talk about it and I don't ruin everything about the man.

Wasp said: They need to know about KitKat Jesus

The strength of KitKat Jesus is barely constrained by the shackles of reality! Who knows what I might unleash!

Reading back on this post-

Do you think Wasp and Bee would be friends in Shattered Glass?

I mean, normal Wasp and Bee are enemies, Wasp was an asshole and bullied Bee relentlessly until Longarm set him up as a spy and he was arrested. I imagine Shattered Glass Wasp was kind and nice, even befriended Bee. Wasp saw Bee getting pushed around by this big jerk Bulkhead and decided to step in. Bulkhead just huffed and decided to not waste energy on those puny things.

Wasp helped Bee patch up his dents. "Us little ones need to stick together." He said when Bee was confused as to why anyone would help someone like him. Wasp was friendly, he cared about Bee and made sure that other jerks stayed away from him.

Ironhide also helped- normal Ironhide only followed Wasp's orders before he was arrested and Iron could relax and stopped picking on bots like Wasp did. Shattered Glass Ironhide is the same, except he sticks with Wasp purely because they're friends, not out of fear of bullying. He helps Wasp fend off jerks from Bee and the little trio has a place in the camp. They even introduced this weird new guy Longarm to the group.

(I suppose Bee is white and black, Ironhide is light green and Wasp neon yellow. Longarm is black with lavender details)

Of course, all good things must come to an end. Rumours of a Decepticon in the camp spread and all leads pointed to Longarm. None of them believed it of course.. but the officers seemed to think otherwise. Wasp took it upon himself to save his friend and revealed that he was a spy, not Longarm. He was taken and locked up, leaving Shockwave in a cloud of guilt. Not long after Bee got caught up in some other issues and was forced to serve in a repair crew with Bulkhead. Longarm stayed with Ironhide and continued his tasks, althought much more careful so no one else will suffer. They both graduated and got put in different departments in Elite Guard.

Speaking of- Sentines is surprisingly not that awful. He's very likable in fact. Sure he's stern and makes everyone stick to the rules and given tasks but he's genuinely trying to help. I guess in the Prime Duo, he's the pushoever instead of Optimus.

Wasp spend years in stockades, his hopeful attitude was slowly drowned in the abuse of the guards and insanity of fellow prisoners. One night however a break-out happened, he was on the run with few other prisoners. He almost made it out but then he got shot square in the chassis, his vision flahsed black and he thought it was the end of him. But to his surprise he woke up in medbay being treated by a weird bug femme. Turns out some Decepticon snatched him after he got shot and took him along to the Decepticon ship. The femme's name was Blackarachnia; she got Wasp in critical condition, his frame was gradually destroying itself because of something in the blaster shot. Her only way ti save him was to perform an overhaul procedure and turn him into an techno-organic. Wasp was confused and scared- his mind wasn't faring any better, but eventually he got used to this new form. He got aquainted with few other Decepticons, Blitzwing, Lugnut and Starscream. All of them were accepting and evencommented on how cool he looked. And of course, he met Shockwave himself. Waspinator couldn't believe when Longarm made an appearance, he apologised over and over again for Wasp's fate. Waspinator however wasn't all that angry, sure he was angry a little but seeing how Shockwave is helping all those who suffered unfairly he forgave him. Soon enough he regained secret contact with Ironhide, who got in kahoots with Shockwave and helped him smuggle data to the cons.

Waspinator decided to take his opportunity and search for Bee. He and the other Decepticons go look for Megatron and end up on a planet Earth. And bumo into the same blasted Autobot crew that attacked Nemesis and is now terrorizing the organic race. But that wasn't as important. Bee was there. Oh, how he was worried about him...

Once when the Autobots were investigating some suspicious activity, Waspinator jumped out and kidnapped Bee. Once he found a safe location to land bee immediately tried to defend himself. He was so scared,.. but stopped shooting once Waspinator started speaking to him. It was an odd speech pattern but still understandable; Waspinator was Wasp and he came to save Bee. Bee couldn't believe what he was seeing- that was Wasp? What happened- doesn't matter, he was so happy to know his friend was here. Bee told him about what's been happening since he was put in the team- How mean everyone was and how he found a friend in one of the organics that the team tolerated only because of her weird in-build healing tech. He told him about Longarm finding him and helping as much as he could. And about Sentinel- the mech was the kindest of the officers back at boot camp, it was a relief hearing that he did his best to help Bee in this abusive situation, although Optimus never allowed him to interact much with his possesions team.

They managed to share one last hug before Prowl jumped them and dragged Bee away. Waspinator was a lone hunter- he wanted to save Bee without needing to drag the other cons into this, he'd be very close to snatching Bee away for good but the Autobots are always one step ahead of him, keeping their slave tightly in their grasp. Except one time... He was so close, he almost escaped... ut their shots were faster. Waspinator was shot down, Bee was forcing himself to not cry as he saw his dear friend fall and crash.

Waspinator was gone for a long time, everyone though he was dead- but his stubbornness was too much. He pulled himself from the brink of death and tried once more- except this time he didn't have to fight. Blackarachnia took him in again and he woke up to Bee's sweet voice quietly talking to him. Turns out Longarm upheld his part of the promise and rescued Bee upon finding him imprisoned in the underground of the Autobot's base. Also this weird organic with superpowers came along with him- she turned out to be techno-organic too.

From then on, aside from Blitzwing and Shockwave, Bee has Waspinator as a scary guardian- and Waspinator definitelly uses his form to give Bee "scary dog privillages". Decepticons may not be much agressive normally but Waspinator WILL throw hands if someone ever as much as mumbles something behind Bee's back. (he has very good hearing, you don't wanna test him.)

Hello! Another of TFA Request

(Fem or GN ) Bot Buddy as Wasp's twin sibling who takes his place

Wasp And his twin are similar to each other, having the same paintjob, body-type, alt mode and others. But also differebt yet they're very close twins

You can tell who is who by watching how they act, Wasp is pompous while Buddy is quiet and known for being mute around everyone who isn't Wasp.

Buddy has an opposite personality, like being quiet and good-hearted. She known for being mute (which's not true and only Wasp knows about it). They sometimes good at mimicking Wasp, his voice and attitude.

(You can also put small romance with Bumblebee or Bulkhead, or other bot/con)

(you can also change this if you like) When they're at the boot camp, and there's someone trying out the traitor. When Buddy trying to tell Wasp about this he thought twin just being anxious or other, so Buddy only thought and to do is to pretend his twin, whether they tell Wasp, the truth or not, like 'let's pretend to be each other for one day like the old times', something alike

Eventually Bumblebee found evidence incriminating Wasp as a spy, but this is not Wasp, it's actually Buddy who acts as Wasp, while Wasp(Buddy) was wheeling away, (pretend to) protesting their innocence (and didn't swore on revenge), while Wasp, who pretend to be Buddy, stands there, he internally almost swear to revenge but remembers the small troubles he did and with his twin promise to Wasp, that he'll be a good bot, that helps others and never let revenge took over him, or something alike.

Wasp, who's now live as Buddy, being quiet and mute, and he's in repair crew with Bumblebee, or other, it's up to you

I'm gonna cut the request here cuz this become longer. I'll thinking doing another of this if that's okay

Oh!

Oh...

Back with more twin Buddy!

Hope you enjoy!

Wasp's twin taking his place as the spy

SFW, Platonic, Familial, Cybertronain reader

TFA

In their early years, it felt like it was Buddy and Wasp against the world.

Before they got their names at least.

He was the loud and borderline mean one.

Then there was his twin.

The extremely quiet one that couldn’t hurt a turbo fox if she tried.

He was extremely protective of his twin vowing to protect her from the harmful things of the world.

His way of doing that was hurting and mistreating others before they did it first.

“Can you please refrain from calling everyone a coward?”

“No.”

“Please? I’ve already had several mech’s yell at me about how ‘I’ called them a coward and had some oil spilled down my back side.”

“SO that’s why you’re wet.”

“…”

He swings his arm around them.

“Listen, no one’s going to bother us when we become a part of the Elite Guard. And everyone will remember us.”

“Hmm…”

“Have I ever steered you wrong?”

They raise and optic.

“You want that list alphabetically, numerically or color coded?”

She are about to get in the line when they see their twin start messing with some other recruits.

One of them looked like he came from the same protoform mold as they did but yellow and the other was a rather large green mech.

Her twin was making some unnecessary quips at them.

“Hey, knock it off. That was uncalled for.”

Their twin just huffs and goes to hang out with some other mechs in the line.

The yellow one glares at them.

“What? Is it your turn now?”—Yellow mech

They raise their servos in surrender.

“I just wanted to help.”

“I didn’t need your help.”—Yellow mech

“But it did look like you needed a friend on your side.”

The mech softens a bit.

The green mech pats their back a bit.

“Thanks! Hey, you look a lot like the other mech that was just here.”—Green mech

“That’s my twin believe it or not.”

“Yeesh! Sorry about that.”—Yellow mech

They wave it off as the three of them get into the line.

“He’s not all that bad.”

Their bootcamp commander was Sentinel Prime.

She already didn’t like his tone but kept quiet about it.

She quietly cheered for their twin getting his name.

Wasp, it suited him.

Sentinel stopped shortly in front of her taking a double take at Wasp.

“Why are there two of you?”--Sentinel

“That’s my twin Sentinel Prime, sir! But obviously she's the lesser twin compared to me.”--Wasp

Bumblebee and Bulkhead glared at him.

“She's not—”--Bumblebee

“Bumblebee! Keep your mouth shut!”--Sentinel

Sentinel now looked hard at her, making her feel nervous.

“Hmm… maybe you are the lesser part of your twin.”--Sentinel

She froze a bit hearing it.

Bumblebee was finding it hard to keep his mouth shut hearing Wasp and Sentinel talk about her like that.

She have been nothing but nice since they’ve been here.

“Your name is W-2. A grateful gift, mind you. Second place to your twin.”--Sentinel

Sentinel moved on to the next bots in line.

Wasp found the new name funny, even annoyingly going on and on about the name.

She just tried ignoring him.

Lately he had become more and more of a pain trying to show off to his new friends.

But it wasn’t all bad.

She did make fast friends with Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and later Longarm.

She'd much rather spend their time with the three mechs than their twin on most days.

W-2, Bulkhead and Longarm look at a pedeless Bumblebee on one of the slabs.

“Bumblebee? Where’s your pedes?”—W-2

Bumblebee crossed his arms.

“Your twin and goons decided to put them on the high shelf.”--Bumblebee

She winced a bit looking at Longarm.

“Longarm could you…?”—W-2

“Of course.”--Longarm

He reached up and grabbed the pedes to give it to her.

She reached for their tool kit.

“…I’ve been thinking about leaving the guard.”—W-2

“You’re what?! Why?!”--Bulkhead

“I don’t belong here Bee. I’ve been asking Longarm to help me get into security branch since he has connections there.”—W-2

“But… what about us? You’ll be leaving me, Bulkhead and Longarm. Not to mention how much worse things are going to get with Wasp.”—Bumblebee

She put the kit on their lap for a minute.

“…Its still up for debate Bumblebee, but I’ll let you know when I finally get to my decision.”—W-2

When Bumblebee came up with his theory about Wasp beginning the rat, She were furious that he would even think such a thing.

Sure, Wasp was a selfish jerk sometimes, but he would never do that!

When She told Wasp about the accusations he just laughed in their face.

He wasn’t worried about some false rumor, and he wasn’t going to start now.

W-2 came in a bit late to see some other guardsmen trying to wheel Wasp out.

“Wait! What’s happening?!”—W-2

Sentinel looked at them.

“Your twin here has been found guilty of spying for the enemy. He’s going to be spending a lot of time in the stockade.”--Sentinel

She looked at their terrified twin’s optics.

She knew what they needed to do.

“You can’t send him to the stockades.”—W-2

“And why not?”--Sentinel

“…because I’m the spy.”—W-2

Everyone looked surprised at the claim.

“You?”—Sentinel

“I…I impersonated Wasp and tried to let him take the fall. I’m coming in clean. Take me, not him.”—W-2

W-2 raise her servos to Sentinel.

He wastes no time cuffing them.

“Release Wasp.”--Sentinel

Wasp gets let go and just stands to the side in shock as she get put in his former shackles.

Bumblebee and Bulkhead looked shocked and betrayed as she began to pass them.

she had the muzzle on their mouth, it didn’t let the others see the sad smile on their face.

W-2 took one last look at everyone as the ship’s doors slowly closed.

SHe let a couple stray tears go as darkness consumed her.

At least Wasp was safe.

Wasp (and bee and sawfly) holding year in review

From left to right and top to bottom, these are: gall wasp (maybe genus Zopheroteras), sawfly (Dolerus sp.), parasitoid wasp (Encyrtus sp.), cuckoo wasp (Chrysis sp.), unidentified parasitoid wasp, calliopsis cuckoo nomad bee (Holcopasites calliopsidis), male northern paper wasp (Polistes fuscatus), yellow-legged mud-dauber (Sceliphron caementarium)

And my favorite find of the year: a Greene’s giant ichneumonid (Megarhyssa greenei)

All individuals shown here either cannot sting or have very mild stings

Bonus: a convincing bumblebee mimic, the deer bot fly (Cephenemyia sp.)

"....I am weirdly not surprised," the green cybertronian said, before he started casually drank some energon he had. "Also, hi, welcome to Detroit."

Just kinda fucking appears.

robot animals are just regular animals with extra steps

falling stars fic masterpost

The desert was quiet at night. None of the palm trees wanted to talk, and only rustled when Omega got too close. They turned their leaves away from his noisy thrusters prudishly, refusing to look at him or the hedgehogs he carried in his hands as they flew by.

Without the warmth of the sun, the desert was also a cold place. A chill swept over the red capped dunes, tossing sand around like confetti at a birthday party. It mixed with yellow sand to the east and orange sand to the west, creating a swirling vortex of color that made it difficult to keep track of where they were and where they had been. A minute ago, they'd passed by a green sand hill, but when Sonic looked back, the only thing he could see was a mountain of purple.

Omega didn't seem bothered by the shifting terrain. He stayed the course toward Scrap Brain Base with a confidence that only a robot with an internal GPS could have. Sonic was glad he knew where he was going, but he wished he'd brought a blanket. The robot's large titanium hands were freezing cold, and the blue hedgehog couldn't help but shiver. Shadow shivered, too, despite his fever.

The sooner they got to Scrap Brain, the better.

But their trip across the desert continued. And continued. And continued. As the minutes wore on, Sonic's patience grew thinner, and he had to exercise a good deal of willpower just to keep himself from asking Omega “Are we there yet?” every two minutes.

Thankfully, something new eventually started appearing amongst the colorful sands: scrap metal. It was only a few pieces at first, but that changed quickly. After about a minute or two, the rainbow dunes were swallowed up by sheets of half-rusted steel and broken, mismatched robot parts. The sea of scrap had become so thick that Omega couldn’t even fly in a straight line anymore; he was forced to swerve around the larger bits of metal that jutted out from the ground like skewers.

As they continued through the junkyard, the name Scrap Brain Base was beginning to make a lot of sense to Sonic.

But before he could start wondering where the "Base" part of it was, Omega crested the top of a large hill, and Sonic’s eyes widened. What he saw laid out before him was a far cry from the barren desert. Now, everything was plated in chrome, and there were structures everywhere. Large silver buildings pierced the sky, glittering alongside the stars. The biggest building by far, however, was the massive chrome dome in the middle of the complex, and once Omega touched down on the stable metal ground, he began walking toward it.

There was also movement. Everywhere he looked, Sonic could see robots milling about. Oversized wasp bots peppered the sky, their wings buzzing as they crossed the Base's air space. Sonic waved at the group nearest to him, and the three striped robots flew over quickly. Maybe a little too quickly.

The robots looked angry. But Sonic kind of just assumed that's what they normally looked like--angry. Wasps weren't known for having a calm temperament, after all. So, he wasn't afraid when they crowded around Omega, their stingers pointed down at him.

"Pretty snazzy paint job there," Sonic said to the wasp robots. "Too bad you guys aren't red. Then you'd really remind me of a certain someone!"

The wasp robots buzzed. They looked at each other uncertainly, as if they weren't sure what they were seeing.

That was when Buggy decided to pipe up. From its spot on Omega's shoulder, the little motobug beeped at the wasp robots, and then gestured to Sonic with one of its claws. It then pointed toward itself before casually wagging its claw. It beeped again.

The wasp robots flitted around Omega, who was pointedly ignoring them. They still seemed unsure.

Sonic smiled at them. "Any friend of Buggy's is a friend of mine!"

Finally, one of the wasp robots got close enough for Sonic to reach out and touch it. He did so with the same excitement you'd find on a kid at a candy store. He gave the robot a light pat on the top of its head, his eyes sparkling. Completely nonthreatening.

Much like the motobug before it, the wasp robot didn't know how to react at first. It knew it should probably run him through with its stinger while his guard was down, but the confusion it was currently experiencing jammed its processors. Was the motobug telling the truth, and this guy really wasn't Sonic the Hedgehog?

The other wasp robots started to get curious. They stopped buzzing around Omega's head and moved to hover in front of Sonic, who now had three buzzy bombers staring at him like lost puppies. He was thrilled. "There's enough for everybody," he said. But because he was still holding Shadow with one arm, he could only spare one hand for the wasp robots. Miraculously, they all waited their turn to get a little scratch on the cheek from him before flying off.

"Playing with bugs again, hedgehog?" Shadow asked sleepily.

Sonic jumped. "Stripes!" His face broke out into a grin, his surprise quickly giving way to relief. "Oh, man. You just missed 'em--but don't feel too bad, alright? This place is crawling with robots--it's so cool!"

Shadow sat up fully. With eyes still somewhat bleary from his impromptu nap, he looked around. They were almost to the chrome dome's doorstep now. The tall metallic structure towered over them, but its size wasn't what caught Shadow's attention; it was the shape of it. It almost looked like a face, with a long metallic mustache jutting out from both sides.

It looked startlingly familiar.

Sonic said, "I'll catch you up to speed. After your little stunt with the helicopter took you outta the game, things weren't lookin' too hot. Luckily, Omega got us a get-out-of-jail-free card! And now we're gonna meet the guy responsible. Right, Omega?"

Omega stopped walking, having finally reached the entrance to the dome. He replied, "AFFIRMATIVE." Then, he stared intently at the button on the wall in front of him. With his hands full of hedgehogs, he couldn't press it. "BLUE HEDGEHOG," he said, "YOU MUST RING THE DOORBELL."

Sonic pressed the button. A little electronic jingle played. And kept playing.

"What's the hold up?" Sonic asked. "You sure they're not out on a milk run, Omega?"

Suddenly, the jingle stopped. A holographic screen popped out of the button, and the face of a man with a bushy mustache appeared. He didn't look happy. "Back so soon, Omega? Don't tell me you were unable to locate the source of that energy anomaly. I don't have time to waste on failure right now…"

Omega lifted up his hands and presented Sonic and Shadow to the man. "PRIMARY DIRECTIVE COMPLETE," he said. "REQUESTING ACCESS TO SCRAMBLED BRAIN BOWL."

The man stared at Sonic and Shadow.

The hedgehogs stared back at him.

Sonic broke the silence first. "I guess we have you to thank for Omega's help earlier, huh? Gotta say, this 'Robotropolis' thing you've got going on here sure came as a surprise! I kinda dig it, though."

The man was very quiet. After a moment, he said, "For an old friend such as yourself, I could spare no expense."

In a flash, the door to the Brain Bowl slid open.

"But this is no way to have our reunion! Please, come in." The man grinned at Sonic and Shadow. "It seems as though we have some… catching up… to do."

The holographic screen disappeared, taking the man's face with it. Then, Omega stepped into the Brain Bowl, and the hedgehogs got their first clear view of the interior. It was filled with heavy machinery and blinking lights. It was also ginormous--the room they had stepped into appeared to be more of an airplane hanger than a real room, and it was packed with in-progress inventions.

And one of those inventions…

Shadow hopped down from Omega's hands. He walked over to a dark blue robot that looked an awful lot like a hedgehog. It seemed to be complete, but deactivated for the time being, if the blank screen on its face was anything to go by.

"Gee, Stripes," Sonic said. "First a hero, now a robot? Seems like you've gotta lotta copycats runnin' around!"

Shadow turned away from the hedgehog robot so he could address Omega. "Do you know anything about this?"

"METAL SONIC IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING MAINTENANCE," Omega replied.

Shadow looked back toward the dark blue robot. With a name like that, it must be a fake of the dead hero. He wondered what its purpose was, but Omega was already halfway across the hanger.

With one last glance, Shadow stepped away from the robot. He rejoined Omega, Sonic, and the motobug, and they all piled into a lift on the far side of the hanger together. However, instead of going up, the lift carried them downward, to the deepest part of the basement.

None of them saw Metal Sonic's eyes blink to life as they descended through the many levels of the Brain Bowl.

It didn't take long until they reached the bottom.

Once there, they passed through an open doorway and entered the room where Omega's creator was waiting for them. The man was clad in a long red coat, and his shiny glasses hid his eyes from view. Sonic couldn't help but notice the resemblance between him and Omega. He found it amusing.

"Excellent work, Omega," the man said, his hands clasped behind his back. "Now, if you don't mind, I'd like a moment to speak with our guests. Alone." He punctuated his words with a shooing motion.

Omega set Sonic down next to Shadow and then stomped off. He took the motobug (who was trying to make itself as small as possible) with him.

The man turned to Sonic and Shadow. "Well, well, well," he said. "Your tenacity never ceases to amaze me, Sonic. And here I thought you might not've survived your trip through our atmosphere! My mistake."

Sonic and Shadow looked at each other.

Shadow said, "It's true, then? The fallen hero… is me?"

The man's glasses flashed. He let out a laugh. "Oh-ho-ho! So, that's how it is, hmm?" He looked between the two hedgehogs for a moment. "Your fall has left you both without any clue as to who you really are. Is that right?"

"Nah," Sonic said quickly. He sounded irritated, almost defensive. "I know who I am. I'm just not sure who I was. But I don't care about that." He leaned heavily on his good leg, and jerked his thumb in Shadow's direction. "It's Stripes who's lookin' for answers. You got 'em? Or are we gonna need to look someplace else?"

The man peered at Sonic. The mask he wore gave nothing away. "Even without your memories, your attitude has remained intact." He stroked his mustache thoughtfully, and finally turned his attention toward Shadow. "Stripes, was it? I alone hold the keys to your past. I will gladly hand them over to you, but before you take them, remember this: some doors are better left closed!"

Shadow frowned. He thought about the flashes of memories he'd already seen, and how they all carried a sort of melancholy with them. "There might be some truth to your words," he admitted. He squeezed his hands into fists at his sides. "But that doesn't matter to me. I need to know what lies beyond those doors!"

The man grinned. "Very well," he said. "In that case, your name is Shadow the Hedgehog. You're an artificial lifeform created to combat the tyrannical rule of G.U.N--of which you should be quite familiar." He paused, letting that information sink in before continuing. "In their pursuit of power, those fools have endangered the world. You and your little blue friend fell from space after taking care of just one of the many problems they've caused. Although, your escape from certain death might be short lived…"

"Hold it," Sonic said. "Are you sayin' that Stripes--Shadow--is gonna die? Seriously?"

It was hard to dispute what the man was telling them. Even now, Shadow still felt a little feverish.

"Don't you worry," the man said coyly. "Now that you've found your way back to me, I will subdue the Chaos Energy that's boiling his blood."

"And who are you to make such a claim?" Shadow asked.

The man's grin turned wolfish. "I'm the one who created you, of course. Doctor Ivo Robotnik. But you may call me Doctor Eggman!"

WASP REVIEW - BUZZ BOMBERS & BUZZERS (SONIC THE HEDGEHOG)

[Image IDs: An official illustration of the Buzz Bomber for the original Sonic The Hedgehog, followed by a 3D render of the Buzzer, as depicted in Sonic Colors /End IDs.]

The Sonic The Hedgehog franchise, while I haven't yet finished many of the games I've played, holds a soft spot in my heart, so I'm very glad to get a chance to talk about it, however, this Wasp Review will have to be a shorter one! The premise of these reviews is mainly about analysis and rating how they compare to the real world, but there's not all that much to analyze entomologically just on the fact that they're both robots and don't have much information on how they would behave even if they weren't. Maybe I'll have to return to the franchise some day though, Charmy The Bee isn't exempt from inclusion here!

That being said, though, looking at what we do have, the design of the Buzz Bomber is definitely vespid-like in nature, comparable to a paper wasp (Polistinae), but with how wide/fat their body shape is, I'd instead say they resemble hornets or yellowjackets.

[Image Sources: Britannica, Paul Starosta and the University Of Kentucky's Department Of Entomology, Johnny Dell | Image IDs: Two photos of wasps on green leaves, the former being a black, yellow, and red european hornet and the latter being a black and yellow, eastern yellowjacket /End IDs.]

Meanwhile, the Buzzer has a much longer waist, resembling that of a mud dauber, some sphecid or crabronid wasps, however, this model also seems to have a relatively fat gaster (the wider part of the abdomen that follows the waist, or petiole), so perhaps it would be more appropriate to compare them to the potter wasp, another type of vespid.

[Image Sources: UC ANR Blogs, Kathy Keatley Garvey and iNaturalist, Adli Wahid | Image IDs: Two photos of wasps, the former being of a yellow and black mud dauber standing on a small plant, while the latter is of a yellow, black, and red yellow-and-black potter wasp seemingly in the act of building a nest /End IDs.]

The degree to which they resemble the real thing also depends on which game we're talking about. Both the Buzz Bomber and Buzzer are propelled using rockets or jet engines in place of its legs, but whereas the Buzz Bomber has always had wings, the Buzzer originally didn't, solely using the jets. Later designs added on the wings however, as well as Sonic Generations giving the Buzz Bomber a second pair (where it has historically only had one, in opposition to real wasps' two pairs) and a design more similar to the Buzzer in general. The original Buzzer sprite also didn't seem to have jaws, compared to later designs that do. Both of them have a very similar function, firing projectiles from their stinger, which is not something that many real wasps do (Except some ants, as mentioned in my review on the War Wasps from Metroid Prime).

[Image IDs: A screenshot of Sonic The Hedgehog 2 that shows the original sprite of the Buzzer, followed by a 3D render of the Buzz Bomber, as depicted in Sonic Generations /End IDs.]

In the end, I can't rank these guys on real world accuracy, but I absolutely can rank them on design and presence! In my opinion, the design of these bots, is quite charming, keeping in line with most of the Sonic series as a whole. I do find it unfortunate that these are, once again, hostile enemies, like a lot of fictional wasps, but again, they're not supposed to be natural entities, as is the whole point of the Badniks, which avoids some of the problems I would have with that. I can't give a perfect rating, but I love them!

Overall: 8/10 or 9/10

If I was in Transformers Animated: Part 10

*During the episode Predecon's Rising*

Wasp: I saw Cat's video. Wasp was thinking. Why Cat help Wasp?

Me: Well, I want to help you. You suffered a lot and you did not deserve it. I just hope that by making sure you stay here you can find peace here on Earth.

Wasp: You think Wasp innocent?

Me: Yeah. We know someone framed you and Bee feels regret for the part he played in it all.

Wasp: Wasp not forgive Bumblebot.

Me: I'm not saying you have to forgive Bee. I'm saying that now you have a second chance at living a better life. Here, why don't we take a walk around the park?

Wasp: That sound nice.

*Later*

Me: Isn't this much better?

Wasp: Better than being near Autobots.

Me: Well at least you are feeling better.

Suddenly Swoop came in and grabbed Wasp.

Me: WASP!

I grabbed Wasp's servo and the two of us were carried away. Thankfully I managed to send a text to Sair. It was not good but hopefully, she understands.

*On Dinobot Island*

Wasp: Is Cat ok?

Me: Yeah. I'm fine.

Blackarachnia: Would you look at this. Instead of just Wasp, you got me a human as well. And not just any human, but Cat.

Me: Let me guess, live steam?

Blackarachnia: Yup. I watched it and found it quite interesting.

Me: And you must be Blackarachnia. Optimus told me about you.

Blackarachnia: Oh. And what did the big bot say?

Me: That the two of you used to be friends, that he regrets not checking the caves after the explosion, and how he hopes that he can someday make things right

Blackarachnia: Really now?

Me: Yeah, and honestly. I don't blame you for cutting contact but don't be so hard on them. From what I know you, Optimus, and Sentinel share the blame. You all should have known better, Optimus should have done more to stop you two, and Sentinel should have not brought you all there in the first place.

Blackarachnia: Well, maybe you are right but that doesn't change the past.

Me: And you shouldn't let it affect your future. Sure what happened to you does suck but that doesn't mean you can hurt others.

Blackarachnia: Maybe. But that's not what's important right now. Right now I have a proposal for Wasp here. Do you really think that the Autobots will help you? Once you have served your purpose what's stopping them from sending you to prison again?

Me: The fact that the charges were dropped and Wasp has been proven innocent.

Blackarachnia: That may be true, but I used to be one of the Autobots, and trust me they are nothing but trouble. Your human friend can't protect you from their bias forever. Fortunately, I can give you power. Power to protect Cat and to stand up to the Autobots.

Wasp looks back at me before speaking: What kind of power?

Blackarachnia: To be like me. To be a perfect combination of cybernetics and organic matter.

Me: Techno-organic.

Blackarachnia: Exactly. Just step into this chamber, let me handle the rest, and you will be so much more powerful. Unless your friend has something to say?

Me: As much as I think this is a bad idea it's Wasp's choice and whatever he chooses I'll support him.

Wasp thinks for a moment: Wasp accepts lady's offer.

Wasp steps inside the chamber it fills with green gas. Blackarachnia places a wasp insect into the other chamber and the transformation begins. It's painful for me to watch and I look away. Then the chamber glows green and explodes.

Me: WASP!

Then a gaint green Wasp flies away from the explosion.

Me: Wasp?

Wasp transforms before speaking: Wasp now Waspinator.

Optimus then comes in with Bumblebee and Sentinel.

Me: Oh great. It's the blue and orange disaster.

Sentinel: Oh come on.

Optimus: Cat! Good to see that you are all right. Where's Wasp?

I point to Waspinator.

Waspinator: Wasp now Waspinator.

Sentinel: Eww.

Bumblebee: Wasp?

Blackarachnia: Well. Looks like it's a reunion.

Sentinel: Optimus. What's the freak talking about?

Blackarachnia: Yes Optimus. Tell him.

Optimus: Elita-1 never went offline. She was changed and now she is called Blackarachnia. Part organic.

Sentinel: What?!

Blackarachnia: You never bothered to check. Maybe if you did things would be different.

Optimus: I thought you hated being organic. Why do the same to Wasp?

Blackarachnia: Because if I can change him back I can do the same to myself.

Optimus: And what if he goes offline?

Blackarachnia does not say anything. Optimus has his answer and so does Waspinator.

Waspinator: Waspinator thought spider bot Waspinator's friend. Spider bot use Waspinator. Waspinator destroy spider bot!

Waspinator prepares to attack and the others have their weapons ready.

Me: Waspinator. Calm down. We can work things out without resulting to violence.

Then Waspinator begins to spark. Something is wrong.

Blackarachnia: His transwarp mutation is unstable. It's building to critical mass.

Me: What do we do!?

Optimus: We run!

Optimus grabs me as Waspinator tries to attack Blackarachnia.

Everyone gets out safely but Blackarachnia knows that unless she does something everyone will be killed. So she covers both herself and Waspinator in webbing.

Optimus: Blackarachnia NO!

Me: Waspinator!

Waspinator: Waspinator sorry. Waspinator should have listened to Cat. Waspinator wants Cat to remember Waspinator and help others.

Blackarachnia: Optimus. Sentinel. It may be too late, but I'm sorry for everything. Cat, take good care of Optimus for me and keep him out of trouble ok?

Me: I'll try.

Blackarachnia: One last thing. Optimus I never stopped loving you. Goodbye.

With that Waspinator explodes. It takes a huge chunk of the island with them.

Bumblebee: What happened?

Me: There gone. That's what happened.

Optimus: Cat.

Me: I should have done more. I should have stopped Wasp. I should have said something. Maybe then none of this would have happened.

Optimus: What's done is done. You can't change it.

Me: I know. It's just. I could have done more and I didn't.

Optimus: Blackarachnia made her choice. She sacrificed herself to save us all. What we can do now is honor their memory.

Me: I want to search for them. Any sign of them.

Sentinel: What good will that do? Even if they are still alive the transwarp energy could have sent them anywhere.

Me: I want to try. Because unlike you I care for Waspinator. He was my friend and now he's gone. I told him that here on Earth he could live a good life and now this happens?!

Optimus: We will search for them. After a night's rest. We have all been through a lot today.

Me: Fine.

*Later*

Jazz: That's for everything OP. Sorry, we gotta split so soon. I always dig this planet.

Jetfire: Dat is making one of you.

Jetstorm: Sentinel. He's definitely not digging organic insects.

Optimus: Ease up you two. He's been through a lot. We all have.

Jazz: Never thought I hear you sticking up for SP.

Optimus: He's a good bot. Even if he doesn't know how to let go of a grudge.

Sentinel: I can handle my own team thank you. Umm. How is Cat?

Jazz: Am I hearing you right? Never thought you would be concerned about any organic.

Sentinel: It's just with the night they had even I am a bit concerned.

Me: I'm fine thank you for asking.

Everyone else leaves, including me. Leaving only Optimus, and Sentinel.

Optimus: I'm sorry I never told you about Elita-1. I didn't want to open old wounds.

Sentinel: Well I'm sorry for ever going to that stupid planet. Besides. It's too late for apologies now.

Optimus: Maybe so but right now Cybertron needs a leader and for better or worse that leader is you.

Sentinel: Got that right buddy.

Sentinel goes on board his ship and it takes off.

Optimus: Where is Cat?

Bumblebee: They have been in their room since we got back. Said that they have important things to do.

Optimus: All right. Hey Cat. Get a good night's rest ok? We'll search for Blackarachnia and Waspinator in the morning ok?

Me: Ok.

[multiverse-unlocked]

“Eh, just going through life, day by day. With the added bonus of ‘how the frag did several months go by in a blink of an eye’? I know that Cybertronians all live for hundreds of years, but still, time is flying by waaaay too fast for my liking,” he answered, giving a small nonchalant shrug.

“Outside of that, really not much. Though, uh, doooo you need me to get you anything? To maybe help make sure you do have a moment’s pause?”

Wasp is just gonna check on the doc. “Soooo how’s it going?” He asked.

Looking up at the familiar voice, noticing a little green friend who'd been a while since their last visit, and Trepan was leaning back in his chair with a faint smile.

"Oh, you know. Just trying to singlehandedly help everyone on Cybertron change to a new frame now the war is over so there is not a moments pause. How have you been, Wasp?"

[multiverse-unlocked]

Your Dating Service

"You literally paid 78 cents. What did you think would happen?"

"......would you rather I trauma dump my childhood on you? Also, I'm sorry that you have terrible taste and not want to talk about Studio Ghibli films-"

".....yeah I'm not dating you again."

[thee-forcefield-guy]

Waiting for anon to not be around, waspinator sorta stumbled in. Finding Trailcutter, there in a panic bubble

Oh dear- what happened?

The bug bot crouched down slightly and gave a few gentle taps to the shield. "Trailcutter?" He buzzed before continuing.

"Wazzpinator wantz to know if you're okay-"

- @wazzpinator-do-not-know

Trailcutter had been in his own little world.

Lost, frustrated, upset, he’d barely registered the taps on his forcefield till he’d noticed the green mass next to it. He watched with tired, dimmed optics, slowly, carefully uncurling his frame when the bubble started to fall away.

“I—I..”

His lip plates trembled.

Be honest.

“…..I’m not okay, I’m sorry Wasp.”

[hcmteam]

The man the myth the human? For a human who has done many things, he looks rather plain. No worries. There are some bots who would thank him for his service but who knows how he'd react to giant green wasp...

— Excuse him, he hopefully didn’t understood that right. A giant what?

[thewiglesswonder]

HE DID IT!!

[moonlight-tmd]

Sorry for spamming you but au where minibots are treated like hell hounds from helluva boss servants at best and pets at worst. Many of them see the military as their only chance at a stable life though more often then not they end up treated more like police dogs than actual elite guard soldiers. Wasp is a "purebred" raised by a wealthy family where as bee is a street mutt.

That's very interesting...

See, I've seen many takes on minis being treated as "lower beings" on Cybertron. I would guess in this AU they are not taken as seriously as normal full-sized bots/cons, therefore the laws for them are kinda harsh- some of them end up as pets for some high-placed individuals, others become slaves. Scout frame minibots are often used in military as track houds or even kept as guard hounds in places with low security (just pack that smol boi with high voltage stingers and let them roam the outside).

Bee was a scout frame, so it was high chance he'd get into the military. Although he was less than welcome when Sentinel laid optics on him- Bee knew the look, one that many gave him on the streets; he was contemplating whether or not to keep Bee as his personal pet. Bee made sure to make him not think about it a second time in his training.

Many cadets and students treated him poorly- whether it was taking his belongings like he didn't own them or not letting him refuel properly at the cafeteria. He was one of few minibots there but there was one mini that stood out significantly.

Wasp. He wasn't taller than Bee but he certainly made up what his frame didn't give him with violence. He was feisty and even forced few of the students to be his "servants". He wasn't shy with bragging about his "family" and how powerful and wealthy they are- they practically bought him the training and Wasp barely did anything other than boss others around to do the job for him- a spoiled mech like Bee ever seen one.

Bee wasn't so lucky, as he grew up in carequarters before running away due to neglection thanks to his frame type. He wandered the cities and picked up some side jobs here and there- more often than not he worked with thieves or other minor criminals for some credits.

Still, even tho he managed to do fine on physical tests and courses, the other classes that required knowledge had turned out to be tougher than expected. He also found it unfair how Sentinel graded him lower than the rest even though he got all the courses right- Bee took it as "revenge" for not letting him touch him when he arrived.

From all the bots that mistreated minis, one stood out- the giant green mech who was known as Bulkhead and took the rumour of being the only one nice to everyone in the camp, including minis. Bee was lucky enough to meet him and even become friends with him, from then on Bee has some sort of protection around Bulkhead. Then Bulk introduced Bee to Longarm, Bee could almost feel like a normal mech around them, it was the first time someone has ever considered what he said important.

Of course, Wasp's spoiled rotten spark shined brightly with his character- he not only considered himself more important than the normal mechs but he also looked down on fellow minis just like one. Bee turned out to be one of the more attractive/cute ones therefore he got a lot of stares... Wasp wasn't happy that this "dirty street hound" took his attention and purposely targeted him in his bullying.

No one liked him and officers didn't even bat an optic at the stuff he pulled on other students, all courtesy of his family's money. Longarm had enough of this and already existing rumours had been edited to point at Wasp. As soon as it got out and placed evidence of it was found, not even his family with connections could help him- in fact Bee heard he got disowned as soon as he landed in stockades. Ouch... but Wasp deserved it.

He couldn't savor this little victory for long before Sentinel decided to invite himself into his assigned room to try and "claim" Bee for himself as a pet... the other officers didn't even let him speak and he was charged with attacking an overseer for "no reason" and kicked out. Luckily Bulkhead was kind enough to help him hide around camp until he graduated and got them both into a repair crew.

It wasn't what Bee had expected but at least he wasn't on the streets anymore. When he first saw the other bots he would be working with, he knew he'd have to prepare himself to be treated like lesser being again and knowing the captain was a former Prime he steeled himself for the worst... but to his surprise Optimus never made any move to claim him as a pet nor personal servant. Even if he was a "tracking hound" in the team, neither of the mechs treated him as such. In fact, Optimus specifically told him he didn't see Bee as a lower mech one time when he ended up injured and Ratchet took a long while to reach the both of them. So that was nice to know.

Then they met Prowl, another minibot (cuz i headcanon him as such, c'mon he's a motorbike) who's paintjob spoke for himself- another one from a wealthy family. Bee expected him to be as spoiled as Wasp, and he kinda met his expectation when he started complaing about his ship being destroyed and the crew taking so long to get back to Cybertron. Prowl was as pretty as he was deadly, it proved to be so when they ended up on a planet with not so friendly life forms roaming about. Bee hated to admit he was quite impressed with this.

I'm not quite sure what to write past that so i'll cut to the events on earth-

Decepticons, although more violent and law-neglecting, were open about differences and mechs and femmes of all shapes and sizes were treated according to how useful they were. Many minibots in their ranks took care of files or stationary tasks while warframes and bigger folks took the front in fights. If anyone took Bee seriously in fighting, it was the 'cons. Bee was lucky to have a guard hound job before so he learned few tricks to use on bigger bots.

Although it went to slag once Elite Guard found them. Sentinel once again laid eyes on him and Bee tried his best to stay away from him... Most of his time he stuck with Jazz out of all Elite Guard, who supposedly came from the same house as Prowl. He was a nice fella and also didn't view minibots as lesser than him. The Jettwins were on the thin line between fun and annoying- they loved to spend time with Bee and pull pranks with him but they also seemed to view him as more of a play pet than a mech.

Even tho Bee made it clear he wants nothing to do with Sentinel, the mech was persistent and often went out of his way to harass him. He even went as far as offering to pay Optimus to let him have the mini. Optimus, of course was disgusted at Sentinel's lack of morals and scolded him. One thing Bumblebee was grateful for once he heard the rumours of what happened. He couldn't imagine the dread of being someone else's possesion and being forced to do all sorts of things against his will or consent... the mere thought made him shudder.

He was lucky to be on Earth now.

[in1-nutshell]

How would TFA's autobots react to a bot that like... fell for Wasp the first time they saw him? and this fall looks like the bot jumped off a cliff straight away, the bot looks like they would do anything for him and it would look really bad if he ignored or was rude to them, they tried to defend him when he was accused of being a spy and was in some kind of mourning when he was arrested and like, if they saw him again they would just say "you know..... I don't think I'm over it", basically Wasp/Waspinator was like a first passion never surpassed--

(I love your writing, if you want you don't need to make this request :v)

Wasp/Waspinator deserved better! Now normally I don't like the idea of 'love at first sight'... but this is an exception for Waspinator. Finally someone who appreciates him! I've been experimenting with different writing ways, so if you don't like it or does not follow the prompt, please let me know.

Hope you enjoy!

Autobots reaction to Bot Buddy having a huge crush on Wasp/ Waspinator

SFW, romantic, platonic, Cybertronian/ Bot reader

TFA

Buddy used to be an Academy recruit when they met Wasp the first time. They were simply smitten by the green bot. Sure he had a jock personality and was a bit mean to Bumblebee, but there was something about him! Wasp knew about Buddy’s crush and indulged them a bit by flirting. He did this out of pure entertainment purposes, defiantly because he didn’t feel flustered over the attention.

They were simply devastated when Wasp was accused of being a spy. They tried to defend Wasp against Sentinel asking for at least a fair trial, that plea felt deaf to their audials.

“Sentinel Prime sir, he hasn’t gotten a fair trial—”--Buddy

“Its clear that he was a spy, soldier!”--Sentinel

“But he is still entitled to have a fair trial! For all we know it could have been a mistake—”--Buddy

“Don’t question me! Or you’ll be joining him too!”--Sentinel

The last Wasp saw of Buddy was them trying to reason with Sentinel as he was wheeled out of the bootcamp and off to the stockades.

It wouldn’t be until he had his transformation that he would meet Buddy again.

Buddy was out on patrol; part of the reason was to clear their processor. They had been informed by Optimus of what happened in Blackarachnia’s lab. Buddy didn’t care if Optimus and the Con had some sort of history together, Buddy wasn’t going to forgive her or the Elite Guard anytime soon.

While quietly contemplating everything Waspinator was hiding nearby.

He quietly watched Buddy from his hiding place wondering what to do.

Kill them? Attack? Hide?

He decided to leave when he sneezed.

Buddy turned around and was face to face with Waspinator.

The two just stood frozen in place.

Until Buddy let out a squeal and jumped on Waspinator pulling him into a hug. Waspinator was a bit freaked out over this sudden reaction. He flew up from the ground a bit in an attempt to get Buddy off. He underestimated the steel grip Buddy’s hug had. Buddy began ranting to him how they had tried too hard to try and meet him again. How many times have they went to Sentinel and other Prime’s to try and figure out where he was. Even asking Ultra Magnus. Buddy began apologizing to him for not trying harder for him.

“I’m so sorry Wasp… I’m so sorry…”--Buddy

Waspinator just looked at Buddy and quit struggling. He gently set them both down and gently grasped Buddy’s servos. Simply admiring them before looking at his own newly transformed servos, he shuddered thinking about it.

Buddy simply looked at him and offered to simply walk with him. Waspinator was highly suspicious of this… but he took the chance. After all it had been a long time since someone held his servo so gently.

The rest was history.

The two began having late night meet ups to just rant or talk about anything under the stars. While Buddy had been smitten by Wasp/ Waspinator the first time they met, Waspinator fell harder.

Telling the team on the other hand… that was a different story.

After a while of their meet ups and improv dates, the team began to suspect something was up with their team member and decided to follow them one night.

It was a surprise seeing Buddy meeting with Waspinator in a hug.

Waspinator was the first to notice the Autobots and immediately stood in front of Buddy.

Oh, this was not the way things were supposed to end up…

Optimus Prime

Optimus knew that Buddy had strong opinions on the way Wasp/ Waspinator was treated by the Elite Guard. The two have even gotten into some discussions on the subject.

He is surprised at how Buddy managed to get so close to Waspinator in the short time they had met on earth, unless they had been meeting for longer than he thought.

Optimus has his axe ready when Waspinator has his servos on his teammate.

Buddy moves in front of Waspinator trying to ease the tensions.

“Woah! Woah! Hold on!”--Buddy

“Buddy get away from him!”--Optimus

“Put down the axe Prime! Everyone just calm down!”--Buddy

He is a bit skeptical about what is being said. That’s until Buddy wraps their servo in Waspinator’s, he sees that there may be some truth in this. Buddy begs the team not to tell the Elite Guard about him.

Optimus begrudgingly agrees on the grounds that he hasn’t exactly done anything wrong to the team yet. He makes sure Buddy at least tells someone in the team when they would be out to see Wasp.

While he doesn’t trust Wasp too much, he can’t exactly say no to Buddy’s puppy dog optics.

“I’m going out Prime.”--Buddy

“Where are you going?”--Optimus

“It’s date night Prime. Tonight’s flying around the park.”--Buddy

“Just don’t fly too high—”--Prime

“Okay, Prime.”--Buddy

“And watch out for Decepticons!”--Optimus

“Okay, Prime!”--Buddy

Ratchet

Ratchet has his magnets ready and on when Waspinator moves in front of Buddy. He was not surprised when Buddy moved in front of Wasp trying to get them all to stand down.

He had witnessed many of Buddy’s fights defending Waspinator against any bot or human who thought ill of him.

“Wait! Wait! Wait!”--Buddy

“Buddy move!”--Ratchet

“No! No! Just put down the magnets.”--Buddy

“Kid—”--Ratchet

“Ratchet, please.”—Buddy

 Honestly half expected the two to be conjunxed before all this went down.

Its almost pitiful seeing Buddy try and shield Waspinator huge body with their smaller frame.

Ratchet is even more skeptical than Prime is about the claims. But he also has a soft spot for bots in love, especially if their love most likely would end up in tragedy.

He backs up Prime when he instates the telling someone before you go rule. He doesn’t have much to do with Waspinator, but he knows a hurting mech when he sees one.

“I’m going out Ratchet.”--Buddy

“Date night?”--Ratchet

“Date night.”--Buddy

“Yeah, yeah, just come back in one piece.”--Ratchet

Bumblebee

Bumblebee had known Buddy since bootcamp, he also knew about how smitten they were when they first met Wasp.

He never understood why at the time.

Buddy flat out refused to believe that wasp was involved with the Con’s.

Bee remembered that day when Wasp was wheeled out and how Buddy had tried so hard to defend him. It took a while for the both to actually come to terms about the subject.

Trust was a touchy subject between them.

It got better with time even after the whole switching places thing (Buddy knew that something was off right off the bat).

He is first trying to calm his team down when Waspinator moves in front of Buddy.

Bumblebee knows that he is probably the last mech on Earth Waspinator wants to see but he needs to make sure the rest know he is not a threat. Is a surprise when Buddy gets in front of Waspinator and helps in calming both parties down.

“Hey guys let’s just calm down a bit.”--Bumblebee

“Bumblebee move—”--Optimus

“Listen to him, let’s just all calm down.”--Buddy

“Let them talk.”--Prowl

“Thank you Prowl!”--Bumblebee

“If Buddy says to listen to him then its has to be important.”--Prowl

“Thank you, Prowl…”--Bumblebee

Bumblebee is surprised for how long Buddy kept all these meetings under wraps.

He isn’t too worried about Waspinator acting out with Buddy. Anyways, he knows Buddy can handle themselves just as good as an actually Elite Guards member.

Actively vouches for Buddy and Waspinator, which nearly give him whiplash.

It’s the least he can do…

Would take over Buddy’s patrols if date night was around, just not every time.

“Hey Bee, I’m heading out.”--Buddy

“You guys gonna go to the new rock concert? Sari mentioned about it the other day.”--Bumblebee

“Nah, we are having book club today.”--Buddy

“What?! That’s lame”--Bumblebee

“After watching the new movie screening in the park.”--Buddy

“Ahhh… that’s actually better.”--Bumblebee

“When you have a significant other, then you can critique my date night ideas.”-- Buddy

Bulkhead

Like Bumblebee, Bulkhead knew Buddy since bootcamp. They were one of the nicer bots at camp that Bulkhead could remember.

He also remembered seeing Buddy having optics on wasp from the get go. Buddy wasn’t exactly subtly with their feelings.

He remembered how they fought with Sentinel for Wasp to get a fair trial. Buddy was lucky not to have been taken too from all the arguing they did.

Bulkhead had to play the mediator between Bumblebee and Buddy for so long, he is so thankful that they are now on better terms.

He is ready to bash some dents in Waspinator when he pulls Buddy behind him. He has some bones to pick with him after what he did to Bumblebee.

Bulkhead is not expecting Buddy to immediately come running in front of him and beg for everyone to calm down.

“Bulk! Bulkhead! Put down the wrecking ball!”--Buddy

“Why?! After what he did to Bumblebee?”--Bulkhead

“Bulkhead I know that, but please just let me explain.”--Buddy

“…Okay…”—Bulkhead

He accepts the fact that Buddy is dating Waspinator, oh yeah, he knows right off the bat they have been dating for a while.

“Hey Bulkhead, I’m heading out.”--Buddy

“Oh! What’s today’s plan?”--Bulkhead

“I’m taking up your suggestion on doing some art near the harbor.”--Buddy

“Cool! Hope everything goes well. Oh, and remember how to do the brush strokes!”--Bulkhead

“Will do Bulky! Bye!”--Buddy

Prowl

Prowl doesn’t know why Buddy is so admitting to defending Wasp. After what he did to Bumblebee, its not like Buddy to defend someone like him.

Prowl does get more context about Buddy’s history with Wasp from Bulkhead. He is more understanding than before now.

His shuriken’s are out and ready to slice and dice when Waspinator comes in front of Buddy.

“Prowl! Hold it!”--Buddy

“Buddy—”--Prowl

“Trust me on this one Prowl!”--Buddy

“…”--Prowl

“Please…”—Buddy

He is surprised to see Buddy run in front of Waspinator and holds everything.

Prowl is sympathetic over Buddy and Waspinator situation and plays neutral mediator but is secretly on Buddy’s side. He wants his teammate to have a chance at love.

Prowl is willing to cover Buddy on date nights when the time crunch is bad.

“Hey Prowl—”--Buddy

“Date night?”--Prowl

“Yes. I was wondering if—”--Buddy

“Yes, I’ll take your patrol for tonight.”--Prowl

“Thanks Prowl! I promise to come with you on that bird watching thing next week!”--Buddy
