#ironhide punches everyone

[starburstminibot]

Hey I loved your explanation of breakdowns development with bumblebee! I was wondering what bumblebee was thinking at the same time though? Like while he was carrying??

I love this AU though!! It’s the only thing I’ve been thinking about! 😩😩💗

It wasn’t easy for Bee either lemme tell you…

Bumblebee has the capabilities of seeing good in everyone… and he is very aware of how vulnerable it can make him. He’s been manipulated before, he’s been taken advantage of due to his child-like optimism. He’s been… hardened to a degree because of it. He’s not a young naive scout anymore. He still likes to see the good, but he’s much more cautious of letting that blind him to the reality.

Except everything goes out the window when it comes to Breakdown.

Bumblebee doesn’t know why. Maybe it’s because they were friends before the war, maybe it’s because despite everything Breakdown’s never really done anything to hurt him (at least intentionally)

Bumblebee is more aware than anyone how vulnerable he leaves himself by trusting Breakdown so wholeheartedly.

He knows how quickly Breakdown could give him a false tip and lure him right into a trap. And yet Bee would still take his words and trust them like the gospel.

Maybe it’s because he doesn’t value his life quite as much as he should. He doesn’t want to die… but he’s been in the trenches of a war far longer than he ever experienced living at peace (if that’s what you would call the civil unrest that was slowly tipping into war by the time he came online) he’s a bit desensitized to the extinguishing of a spark.

He knows the dangers of getting too close to anyone when you could lose them at any moment. Of course, he’s always been a friendly bot. Most Autobots favor him kindly and he always enjoys other’s company. But he doesn’t stick around long enough to actually get close. He’s a scout. Traveling across Cybertron, sneaking past enemy lines. He’s alone more than not. Perhaps the only true companion he has was the bot always checking in on him at the end of the mission, the one giving him the next orders, and seeking his unlikely advice. It was easier to get close to Optimus… he was less likely to get blown up in a random firefight and never come back.

Which only made his attraction to Breakdown more confusing. Breakdown was everything that Bumblebee tried to avoid: Reckless, foolish, thrill-seeking. Breakdown threw himself into fights he wasn’t likely to win for fun. Breakdown didn’t value his life quite as much as he should either.

They both were willing to gamble everything because neither of them had anything to lose. And that just made whatever they had that much more exciting

They didn’t see each other often. Years would pass before they could catch a glimpse of the other. It didn’t matter how long it had been… how many friends the other had lost… it was like their unspoken connection was the only true consistency in their lives. Sometimes Breakdown would give Bee information. Other times they would just play cards or race. Sometimes they wouldn’t have a chance to talk at all, being in the heat of battle surrounded by other bots.

They got pretty good at pulling punches and staging fights.

And then the war “ended” and Breakdown was nowhere to be found. Bumblebee would be lying if he said he wasn’t disappointed. He should have known better… of course Breakdown would have run, all the Decepticons did. And Breakdown was still a decepticon.

He’s pretty confident Optimus knows about their friendship at this point… or at least has his suspicions. But Optimus had also pardoned the ex-leader of the Decepticons so Bumblebee doesn’t think he has much room to judge.

Being sent undercover for over a decade wasn’t the post-war future Bumblebee had planned for himself. He hadn’t envisioned it would take place on an alien organic planet either. He could still remember a time when he dreamed of retirement and maybe he’d take up a “normal” job like the ones Ironhide used to talk about. He always wondered if he’d be good at something more domestic… if maybe he would have an apartment of his own to return to each night instead of recharging at whatever outpost was closest after days without rest.

Now he views those as delusional fantasies. He’s not really sure who he is outside of his title of Autobot spy. He doesn’t think he can be anything besides a soldier. (A hero… according to some people)

He wasn’t sure if it was boredom that triggered his search for Breakdown or if maybe he was just looking for some kind of company (he was used to solitude but it had just been… so long) but somehow he ended up at nearly every race he caught wind of. It wasn’t desperation, certainly not… he just… had a lot of free time is all.

He got close a couple of times. Breakdown was changing his alt mode regularly, Bee was sure of it. But still every so often he’d catch a streak of blue and white. Breakdown had always been faster than him…

Bee considered himself great at adapting to any environment or situation that he would land himself in, but nothing could have prepared him for his latest assignment… Sparklingsitting…

Why Optimus had pulled him out of 15 years of hiding for something so… mundane? Bee could only begin to question. He was convinced it was a waste of time. Bee didn’t know the first thing about younglings, there hadn’t been any since… well… him. And that was a very long time ago.

But after a while he hated to admit he found them… endearing. It was almost nice… it felt like what he used to imagine a peaceful life would be like when he was still naive enough to think true peace was achievable.

And yet… something was still missing.

Bee assumed it was the thrill of the missions he longed for. Considering Optimus was dead-set on sidelining him… Bee decided to resume one of his personal missions…

And thats when he finally reunited with the only bot he could ever consider his best friend. They had been apart for longer periods before… but somehow this felt different. This could be a new start. The war was over.

And then he lost Breakdown again.

To the same humans to claimed to be their allies no less.

He didn’t care how it must’ve looked when he demanded Optimus give him a status report on Breakdown’s condition when he was brought in.

Bee only got a lecture on how he was cutting it too close by getting involved with a race he knew G.H.O.S.T. was planning to bust.

So no, he didn’t really care what Optimus would think when he broke Breakdown out of prison. And he was only slightly hurt when Breakdown drove off ignoring his pleas of assistance. It wasn’t Breakdown’s fight… he had no right to be upset.

Of course Breakdown came through in the end… he always has.

And so what if they started meeting up periodically to race and talk and forget about everything else for s little while. Even if the times Bee had fallen into recharge in his arms and woken up alone hurt more than he’d like to admit.

Breakdown was quick to remind him, they were still on opposite sided. They could still betray each other in a moments notice… they both still had nothing to lose.

Except… that wasn’t quite true anymore.

Bee was carrying.

At first he didn’t do anything about it. Didn’t tell anyone. Didn’t even act like anything was different. A reaction he would later clarify was shock.

Then came the avoidance. The ticking time bomb until he had to do something about it was like a constant countdown in his head. He started seeking distractions. Lessons with the Terrans. Missions with Arcee. Drives with Breakdown. Anything to avoid thinking about the decisions he would need to make in the future. The very rapidly approaching future.

Breakdown was the first to know.

Looking back, Bee wished he had been able to break the news a little differently. He hadn’t intended to tell him that night at all… he wasn’t sure if he was ever planning on telling him period.

The reality of a sparkling was beginning to hit and for the first time in his life… Bumblebee couldn’t put himself at risk anymore.

And Breakdown was a risk.

It was supposed to be their last time… a chance to say goodbye, even if Breakdown didn’t know it. Instead in a moment of emotion, Bee accidentally let it slip.

He wasn’t expecting Breakdown to choose the path of caution too. To desperately pledge to stay by his side. To stop taking risks… to stop running… to finally face this emotion they’ve been dancing around for centuries

Bee almost felt guilty for assuming so negatively of the one bot he has ever loved, but then again Breakdown has never really done much to prove his loyalty besides never actually betraying him.

This was different though. This was their real new start. The desperation in Breakdown’s eyes, like he’d never seen before, was enough to prove it.

And he trusted Breakdown… because now they both had something to lose.

The hard part was convincing Optimus to do the same…

Bee is lucky he was always Prime’s favorite. Pretty sure any other bot could be charged with fraternizing with the enemy. And of course… the news didn’t go over very smoothly… Bee wasn’t expecting it to…

He’s grateful Breakdown survived to the end of the conversation, though there were a handful of blasters involved in the process.

But after the lectures and the disappointment and the numerous encounters of bots trying to convince Bumblebee to abandon whatever bond he had with Breakdown and allow the Autobots to assist in the Sparkling’s upbringing… Bee noticed for the first time just how hard BD was trying.

Breakdown never cared about what anyone thought of him. He never did things for the approval of others… so Bee knew it was his own decision when BD formerly defected from the Decepticons and took on the autobot mantel.

He’d never seen him more dedicated to anything before… and that’s when Bee knew. They were going to be okay.

He had only ever been a soldier before… he wasn’t sure if he was really cut out for this whole Carrier thing. Breakdown joked that the Terrans had been the trial run, and he had all the training he needed.

They both joked to avoid the spark numbing fear.

They had never experienced it before… not like this… the fear of losing.

Bee wasn’t sure when Breakdown became so… domestic. Sure, he still teased and flirted and ran his mouth. He still made bets he couldn’t win. But he also brought Bee his energon every morning, mixed exactly the way he liked it. And everytime Bee fell into recharge, he’d still be by his side when his optics opened again.

Bumblebee couldn’t help but be angry a little…

Why was he only now receiving this treatment? They’d known how they felt about each other for how long? How long had Bee tried to convince him to stay by his side?

But Breakdown didn’t need Bee’s anger to feel guilty. He barely felt deserving of the chances he’d been given long before this one.

And Bumblebee couldn’t bring himself to act on his anger… not when Breakdown was trying so hard for him.

For them.

Perhaps Bee’s dreams of peace weren’t so far off after all.

Ironhide here, anybody wanna explain what’s going on with my daughter?? She suddenly got really angry and started throwing things and trying to pick fights with everyone. She gave me a nasty punch when I tried to talk to her.

Autobot Bumblebee to Decepticon Shadybug (Miraculous Ladybug x Transformers Animated AU) (Part 1)

It's time to make a Shadybug AU for this.

When Marinette (the Shadybug universe) was reincarnated in Cyberton with both her miraculous and her partner's miraculous, she thought it would be a chance for her to start anew so she started living a normal life here in her new life

Though she was bored with nothing to do, she decided to join the Autobot Boot Camp since she needed to do anything that would erase her boredom

It was also where she got her new name, Bumblebee, from her drill sergeant, Sentinel Minor

When she first joined in, she was not well-liked by her classmates, but didn't pay any mind since she was used to being not well-liked in her previous life

There were also times she had to stop herself from calling her instructor Mr. "Ego-As-Big-As-His-Chin" whenever he does something that makes her stressed and nearly punching him straight on the face

Though the days in Autobot Boot Camp where stressful for her, she was somewhat surprised herself that she was able to befriend the huge but soft Autobot, Bulkhead

Despite being called a mudflap by his classmates, Marinette/Bumblebee didn't seem to care as she was actually happy to have a real friend for the first time in her new life

She disliked Wasp and Ironhide since they were jerks and avoided them as best as she could

She had a neutral relationship with Longarm and saw him as a classmate. She was glad he wasn't an actual jerk like Wasp and Ironhide

She also didn't mind Longarm being close to her when she and Bulkhead would hang out

She also somewhat and accidentally overheard about the reporting to Megatron

She also figured out immediately that it was Longarm, or she could have guessed Shockwave

However, she didn't pay any mind and just quietly left after the conversation was over and didn't bother trying to catch the spy

She wants nothing to do with it and just let the higher-ups figure it out and deal with the situation themselves

When the rumours of the Decepticon device was found and the possibly of the Decepticon Double-Spy, everyone was trying to figure it all out

When Wasp pointed out that Marinette/Bumblebee could be the Double-Spy from how her expression is and how she acts. But she defended herself, stating that if she were the Double-Spy, she would have taken them out by now and that they would have needed solid and strong evidence for that to support them, which was actually true

Despite Wasp's attempts to try and convince that Bumblebee was the Double-Spy, with the help of Ironhide, she always managed to avoid their attempts and got away easily

Though Bulkhead was worried that something would happen to her, but Bumblebee always reassured Bulkhead that nothing will happen to her and that everything will be okay, which calms her big friend down

Marinette/Bumblebee thought anything she had can last forever, but all came crashing down when a Decepticon device was found on her locker

She and Bulkhead tried to claim that she was innocent and that someone tried to frame her, but no one would listen

As she was forcefully taken away, she saw Wasp's smug look, she immediately figured it out that it must've been him who found the Decepticon device on her locker

Once she was imprisoned, her hatred and anger towards Wasp grew stronger within a minute as she screamed in pure anger and hatred after everything she lived for was ruined that she soon decided use the Ladybug Miraculous again after so long

After she transformed into Shadybug, it didn't take long for her to break out and started destroying anything and anyone in her path to find Wasp

As Sentinel tried to have the others evacuate, Shadybug immediately arrived so quickly

Sentinel tried to stop her, but she used Lucky Charm and easily defeated him

"Hmph, I knew you were always pathetic even in battle..."

She soon turned her gaze towards who used to ber her classmates as she started heading towards them with her Lucky Charm Claymore in her servos

Bulkhead immediately shielded them and asked for her to stop this madness

She stopped walking and could only look at Bulkhead for a moment before the Elite Guards came to apprehend her

With a "Tch..." , she immediately used her yo-yo to fling a huge piece, big enough to shield Bulkhead and started fighting the Elite Guards until Ultra Magnus arrived

Despite his attempts to stop her, she immediately defeated him with just a single punch on his stomach, shocking everyone around her

Seeing her strength that she can bring the strongest Autobot in Cybertron on his knees with a single punch, she was deemed to be the most dangerous Cybertronian

Before she fleed, she gave Ultra Magnus her empty look and final words...

"Be lucky I was holding back when I didn't actually offlined you."

As she fled away from Autobot Boot Camp, the other Autobots can only watch in shock and fear of what they just unintentionally unleashed

Longarm/Shockwave, on the other hand, felt like his spark was beating so fast from not fear but felt like it stole his breath away. And started having plans in mind...

After the attack on Autobot Boot Camp, Bulkhead was able to join the Space Bridge Repair Crew while Wasp was forced to join with him after they found out that Marinette/Bumblebee was telling the truth and she nearly rampaged the Autobot Boot Camp because of him

Despite not wanting to do so, he actually stayed with the Repair Crew out of guilt and couldn't look at anyone optic-to-optic to anyone

Back with Shadybug, she was on top of the rooftop to see the view from above...

After a moment of silence, she started to slowly break down as softly cried

Her life was now ruined, knowing she would never get that normal life she truly wanted

That's until she heard something, making her stop crying immediately as she was now on guard

She was surprised when she came face-to-face with Longarm, who had his arms raised, stating that he came in peace

"Bumblebee, I can explain, but I need you to calm down and don't freak out..."

She can watch as Longarm shifted in his real Decepticon form, Shockwave

Before he could actually explain everything, Shadybug raised her hand up and told him to spare the details and explained that she already knew since she accidentally overheard his conversation with Megatron

He was actually surprised that she overheard his conversation and didn't do anything to stop him (making his spark beat even more)

Though she asked why he planted the part where she was the Decepticon Double-Spy instead

However, Shockwave spoke the truth that he didn't actually target her and accidentally left his devices since he was nearly caught

From the tone of his voice and that he was telling the truth, she believed him

Shockwave wanted her to join the Decepticon sides and with that she immediately agreed and that surprised him once more when he didn't even explain the whole details

Shadybug explained that she lost all trust on the Autobots and wanted nothing but to bring the Autobots down to the ground and wanted her to feel the same thing she felt

Shockwave told her the exact time they'll be meeting Megatron personally and told her that she'll need to be on time

"I wouldn't miss it for the world..."

With that, they went on their separated ways for now

Part 2? --->

[crying-fantasies]

Hold (on to my heart)

Masterlist

CW: blood, murder, curses, hate, power abuse.

Nights in the caves are, really, something else, specially since Martha's garden finally gave something edible.

It's nice, to eat something warm and fresh after so long, canned food and such can only get one so far without feeling sick in mind and body, and don't even get started with the face of absolute horror some bots did after reading what was inside or, worse, what kept the corn in a barely decent consumption state.

It's nice to eat without someone burning their eyes on your back, calling you names.

Martha's corn is little, not really sweet, and mayonnaise or butter could make it more delicious, but everyone eats it to the last grain, part of it has already been stored, the fire where everyone gathered around is, maybe, a beacon of hope, just what everyone needs since Optimus left, and you catch a glimpse of mister Sawyer drying a lonely tear when he looks at a stone at the side.

Ironhide's stone, one he used like a chair.

That was where Ironhide used to come and talk, hell, the bots used to come here with you all, Tommy said maybe it was like looking at a wildlife documentary, but you and the rest have a different approach to it, giving an almost absolute vote of it being because they feel lonely, they feel hunger, they feel cold.

There is so much that can be done in the dessert, or any part the autobots go and so you all do, if you search well enough it isn't that hard to find edible cactuses or other things, with the usual trial and error in between, of course.

Ironhide was the first to tell Optimus to get all the humans back to where they came from, but he was also the first one to take a boulder out of the way to make this campfire site and use the rock as a makeshift chair, at first it looked like he was trying to put you all in one place and Sideswipe almost punched him in the faceplate, but he was also the responsible to moving the hard soil with Hound and Beachcomber so that Martha could grow food, the only one that knew how to live from the earth and not by ready-to-food like the rest of you.

"It's easier for humans to do it, since it's their planet", he said, "at least then we won't bother findin' fuel for them", Sides was ready to let him know his opinion but he was stopped since what the old bot gave you, in reality, was something even better than canned food left to waste.

It's not simple, to follow the autobots, to evade the government, to try and get a hold of whatever that could be usable, you still remember Val and how she found something alien and bring it back, the few energon that thing had was enough to add another two days for everyone, Rosalinde, almost two, could only smile by her sister's enthusiastic face.

It was never easy, when Hoist, relieved for the finding, patted Val's head with utmost delicacy, "You did great", the little girl looked like she won the lottery, very much in contrast to her crying once a military man found your group while looking for rations, Val went far away in the former warzone to find another vial of energon, finding the man in her way and all his group, holding her and telling the little orphan with baseless promises of finding her family with the help of whoever was in power, that he saved her of the horrible aliens as all you could do was move again because they couldn't find the autobots, "humans know what a new human spark would need", that's what Optimus said, and it was what Ratchet repeated to Hoist once he found out to calm him down, Bumblebee was totally against to give Rosa to the people on the near town to care for her, and you all promised to tend to her every need to prevent her from going to fall in their hands, Optimus meant well, you all knew, as all you could give Rosa and Val was the least spoiled food.

"Do he sees us as pets or what?"

"Quiet, kid! Do I need to remind you who saved your ass in the warzone?"

"Well then, I can return to the god-damned civilization because I'm not in debt with the ones that got the war here!"

Most people just go, at the beginning, just like Jimmy, Verity and Hunter, sometimes they stay, just like you, but staying also means to have your face among the most wanted due to "fraternizing with the alien enemy".

But returning would end in indefinite imprisonment, or a very bad interrogation that could turn south very easily, because no one knew of Javier once he got to the nearest town, but you all found him in the wastelands while searching for more supplies, his body, at least, full of bruises and in a terrible state, like he was tortured.

Mr. Duncan called it "a stupid robot hunt to keep the people happy in their madness to vote for them again", Susana said:" Just people showing off, they need some war in order to fill their pockets".

You can only hope Val has something to eat, someone to care, things were hard, as you see your chemically burned fingertips, no more gloves meant direct contact in occasions, Ratchet and Hoist sometimes can't with all the injured, so far the only helping hands they have are you and Mr. Duncan who was a mechanic before the war and before being totally wiped after seeing Optimus Prime himself help him to get out of some debris, transforming in front of him while saving him, they are great, they really are, but alien medicine can only get you so far before you touch real energon, the one running in their lines like blood does in your veins, and getting burned isn't that hard with your hands stopping the leaking in Track's side as Hoist tries to make him see that his wound matters more than his finish.

Sideswipe, ever the gentlemech, came to your rescue when your tearful eyes weren't that easy to hide from him, biting back the sobs and just silently taking it all, maybe that being the reason why his already volatile temper just got to a new level, "I'm going to show that slagger something to whine over", he was furious, not at you, but in what you were getting into, in how you were hiding it even from him.

"It's okay", you said, red eyes and patched fingers, bloody nose and sore throat, low on fluids due to the energon poisoning, "it's okay, I can keep going".

But you can't, not anymore, not because of Sides but because this new bot called Ultra Magnus was sure to keep their law to the T, and Ratchet couldn't do much about it, "it's unprecedented to let an organic know about our general physiology".

"Magnus, I don't have any more help here, and you're shortening it even more?"

"The law must be followed, Ratchet, and we shouldn't have so many injured if our soldiers were able to hold into the designated procedures for those cases".

Everyone have their own reasons to be here, some willing and others not, some do what they can while others just can't anymore, but all in unison rise their cheap plastic cups high and full of homemade alcohol that is sure to burn your liver alive, chanting a "for the ones we lost" before downing it at once, your corn is about to return from your stomach and Mr. Sawyer finally breaks down, crying in his daughter's arms inconsolably.

Men don't cry, you heard once, and it's stupid, maybe real men, the ones that matter, really do cry and bleed.

And maybe is not only about men crying, but showing grief and emotion as a whole, as you remember someone say: "just don't think about it and the pain will go away", or "just think you feel okay and you'll be", it was easier to say than to really do, and even if you did it didn't really change anything.

Maybe the most strong really show what is troubling them, and try to understand it.

Maybe that's why you find yourself walking again to the part of the base Sideswipe has taken for himself, he is just there, sitting, low on energon and spirits since Ironhide's frame was taken back by Ratchet, he looks just like when Sunstreaker-

"Do you hate it?"

At first, you don't know what he is referring to, is it the constant hunger? The scorching sunlight in the day and the cold moonless nights? Being hunted down by your own people? Your own race? There is so much to pick from, but he may only refer to one of them? With a lack of response he makes that sad face again, in the past he did it, as sad as ever or physically possible for him just to joke around, took you a while to notice his playful nature and how to respond to it, but you would give so much to see that kind of expression back to him only as a joke and not the real one in front of you.

"Hate is a strong word".

Since Bumblebee made the deal with the humans, with that guy called Spike, things have been better, but feeling the soldiers' hard gazes have made you all return to the caves from time to time, the last familiar place, the last place where you all saw so many before probably losing them forever.

Val is still missing, no one could track her or what they did with her after they took her away.

Ricardo decided to sell out the bots and play the victim in the news, whining and complaining about being a victim, trying to sell a book of his survival when he wouldn't even be alive if not for Beachcomber saving him from an explosive.

Lucas, Paula and Jocelyn died when those crazy fucks corraled the bots and they tried to stop them like a shield, believing they wouldn't shut them down.

Mr. Sawyer still can't keep a few bites of food down after Ironhide died, his depression hitting another level, or so Miranda, his daughter, said, when his friend returned like a carcass with a hole blasted right through his spark, his heart.

The cries of everyone when Bumblebee, one of the most kind and attentive autobots, one of the better living beings you have ever met, returned with smoke emanating from his body, closed and dead optics, energon spilling from the wound on his chest, as Mr. Sawyer's cries of "not again, please" made more echo in all the people crying, the few people that were still keeping it together before things just escalated more.

The feeling of being burned alive as your fingers put pressure to the many ruptures in the lines, hearing Mr. Duncan curse as his own hands weren't enough to stop the leaking and welding at the same time, being instructed by the supposed scientist and doctor that was in charge to keep Bumblebee alive by just pouring energon inside and letting you two do all the risky job.

Sideswipe's response to your "I hate it" isn't one of surprise, if anything, he is waiting for you to elaborate, "I hate them so much!".

His reaction to your answer brings up the necessity to shut your mouth, but the lock has been molested, and there is just so much you can do once bitting your tongue isn't enough, not even his sad smile, his relief at you finally letting go of what has been eating you from inside out, the low light of his optics on you, blue light that makes your tears shine like tiny sparks embers that fall ominously, like hatred and vengeance that are never to meet an end, the rage of a warrior encased in such tiny frame that does everything in it's power to heal even when there is a gaping black hole in the middle.

His reaction to your tears, to your hysteria, the ones you had to fight back, is nothing but understanding, and he doesn't even flinch when the poison and resentment follow and take control.

"I wish they end up dying there!", you remember their faces, their words full of hatred, you'll never forget them as you all shouted back in how the autobots weren't the ones to get the war to the planet, it was the decepticons who started it, it was the humans who kept at it.

They hated so much, without a base, without a reason, putting all of them in the same group, and were the first ones to shout indignantly once Jazz protected everyone.

"I wish everyone they are related to die too! Stupid genes should just disappear! Their parents! Their kids! It's all rotten!"

You will never forget their faces as they shut down Lucas, just because he was trying to speak with reason, "STOP! Stop! He is injured! Please stop!", Paula got to close for comfort too, apparently, as she was trying to call Spike for help, but someone, a sick fucko, believed her phone was a gun and killed her too with Jocelyn who was only promising the already on edge autobots that everything was going to be alright before her blood was flying in their direction.

"I want them to disappear"

Once your hatred is placating, finally being able to let yourself say all the bad things that have been bottled down for so long, your sadness takes over, and Sideswipe offers his servo to cradle you near as your tears and sobs aren't stopping, increasing to the point breathing is hard and you're almost choking back cries and shouts, holding for dear life to him, your screwed nails digging on the crevices of his faceplate and neck guard as he holds your body with both servos to that tiny and warm place in the junction of his helm and his neck guard.

A safe place, where his body overlaps yours, his engine and the power on it a silent promise that he is strong enough to fight for you both, increasing with your cries and the goosebumps, an answer to his EM field, telling you "I'm here, I'll protect you", your physical reaction, your way to show him "I feel you, I know" when his digits pass over your skin so delicately.

It was a trial and error these years, laughing hard when his anger made your hair stand up, give comfort when you didn't feel much, feeling overwhelmed and all little hair up when he was playful and happy.

Feeling out of your body when he was trying to comfort you.

"I want this to end"

"I miss them so much"

"If I ever know who made that gun!"

"Please don't leave me too"

"I want them in pieces!"

"Don't ever let me go"

Next thing you knew, Sideswipe was trying to wake you up, saying something about a "I'll see you later" that was barely registered as your eyes were too swollen to see him right, the coldness in the base is too strong and makes you hold the blanket he left above you, is it late? Why is he saying that? When did you fall sleep and when did he let go of you? You can barely think straight, the alcohol doing an inside mess, Sideswipe holding you near again, the best you both could do for a hug, you could only do so much with your head all foggy and painful as he left you to rest, that sensation of vibration as you're swallowed inside his EM field again, nuzzled by his faceplate, the light of his optics showering you, barely alert to give back the hug, holding to his olfactory ridge and making him chuckle, smiling back, hearing him happy after so long, if only for a minute, feeling him gone the next and holding the blanket close, preserve his digits' feeling above you, his warmth enclosed in that blanket for as long as it could be.

Hours later, and the next thing you know is that most autobots are gone, everyone is sitting in the dinner salon of the Skywatch's base, watching the news, your relief of Bumblebee once again on his feet is washed away once someone tell you that Sideswipe left with Optimus to Cybertron.

One hour later, and you're left to question yourself what comes next, holding the blanket to your body, and realizing that it's the vicuna one you bought, and that Sideswipe left the paper crane you gifted him years ago just next to your sleeping body, as you ask yourself what you could have said in your intoxicated pain that made that hot head take his few things and go to a barren and deadly planet once again, trying to comfort yourself that it wasn't caused by something you said.

But that monster in your head says otherwise, telling you that if you lost Sideswipe too was because you showed your pain and grief, everything is your fault.

It's all your fault, and Sideswipe will never come back, either by being shot where you can't help him or by finally realizing you aren't that different from other humans.

"Humans are all the same", Sunstreaker once said when he tried to brush you off, and maybe he was right about you.

Do you even recognize who you're now?

[anon-e-miss]

Had a thought for Reformation

Basically Jazz does his duty to both Prowl and their growing bitties. Never one to slack but even though he wouldn’t leave any omega in need under his care, the fact that its Prowl having his bitties… leaves him more than happy to contribute. Prowl still being so strong is so attractive to Jazz. And that he’s helping Prowl enjoy being pleasured is also a plus

But time for angst

Anyway what if some mission had pulled Jazz away for a time.

Prowl with his big belly would be vulnerable and slowly getting needier the longer Jazz is gone.

Some random Alpha of your choice could try and take advantage of Prowl and his delicate state. How far that goes is up in the air

Imagine Jazz coming back and having to deal with any aftermath…

Like maybe Prowl was able to fend off the other Alpha but withdraws from everyone except Jazz. Maybe Jazz finding Prowl, desperate and needy in his own hab. Prowl snuck in because his omega protocols were going haywire after the attack and only the smell of Jazz was helping him while also getting him more hot and bothered…

Could go a more angst route but I love anything you come up with

So if it was just Prowl and Jazz, Prowl would be more vulnerable to an Alpha.

But there’s Punch, and Ironhide, Optimus, etc and even if Jazz HAD to go, he would leave Prowl with one of the above.

There’s also the matter of the cousin come to call…

[theoceanoasis]

Fairy Tale AU with Soundrod! Soundwave being told of a beautiful mech placed under an enchanted sleep and, curious, he goes to the castle where the mech (Hot Rod) slumbers. He ends up kissing Hot Rod and breaking the curse with True Love's First Kiss but the credit goes to another mech (Getaway?) instead.

Hot Rod ends up betrothed to the other mech, even though he feels attracted to Soundwave for reasons he can't explain yet. Soundwave is jealous of the fact he can't marry Hot Rod but wants Hot Rod to be happy, at the end of the day, so he still says nothing. Only time he speaks up is when he realizes Hot Rod is being hurt by the other mech and comes to his aid, and ends up proving he's the one who awoke Hot Rod somehow.

There were once two kingdoms. The kingdom of Iacon which was ruled by Optimus Prime and the kingdom of Kaon which was ruled by Megatron. The two kingdoms lived mostly in peace until one day a curse was placed on Optimus son.

His name was Hot Rod and he was the most beautiful mech in all the land. One day he was cursed when someone placed him in an enchanted sleep. Where the only way for him to wake was by being kissed by his true love.

Everyone immediately blamed the kingdom of Kaon. Believing Megatron had ordered the curse to be placed on Hot Rod. In retaliation the two kingdoms went to war.

His sire sent out a call to all his people asking them to come and help their prince. With the promise that Hot Rod would marry whoever woke him.

Autobots from all across the land came to the castle eager to see if they were the ones who could break the curse. But none were worthy. Every day more and more people came only to leave dissapointed.

As time went on Optimus began to worry that Hot Rod would be stuck forever.

He easily moved through the crowd while disguised as a guard. With so many people coming to the castle now was the perfect time to learn the Autobots plans.

He snuck through the gate with the rest of the crowd and followed them inside. With everyone distracted by the idea of kissing the prince he broke away from the crowd and began looking around.

Mostly hiding in the shadows he found himself searching each room. He didn't know how long he was there but after collecting some vital information. He walked towards the main entrance where he'd come through.

Noticing the gates were closed he realized he'd stayed too long. Hearing footsteps approach he quickly hid.

Looking around he needed to find a place to lay low so no one got suspicious. He wouldn't be able to escape until morning. When he could blend in with tomorrow's crowd all eager for a chance to become royalty.

Moving through the halls he could hear Optimus and his head guard coming his way. Without looking he entered the first room he found which happened to be Hot Rods.

He froze staring at the beautiful prince who was laying in his bed. His hands together and on his chest and his lips plush and ready to be kissed.

He stepped foward. Spark racing as he looked down at the prince. He should have killed him. He knows it's what his father would have wanted. Even though they didn't curse the prince Megatron still wanted to hurt Optimus and killing his son was the best way to do that.

Instead of drawing his dagger and slitting his throat. He found himself leaning down and kissing the prince.

He immediately felt a weird tingling sensation from his lips to the rest of his body. The air seemed to shift as magic filled the air.

"What are you doing!?"

He jumped looking over in surprise when he saw a guard.

"You're not supposed to be in here."

Realizing his cover was blown he shoved the guard to the side and ran out ignoring his shouts to stop.

He ran through the castle trying to find a way to escape through the maze of hallways. He had just turned the corner when he felt something hit him hard.

He fell backwards looking up in confusion to see Lord Optimus and his head guard looking down at him. Ironhide glared having punched him in the face.

He felt disoriented as he was grabbed and forced to his feet, which made the room swim. Optimus pushed past them looking worried about his son. While he was dragged to the dungeon and locked up after his identity was revealed.

Outside he could hear people cheering and celebrating. Confused he moved closer to the bars and listened to the guards talk.

"Prince Hot Rod is awake."

"Who woke him?"

"Getaway. After he caught Soundwave trying to hurt our prince. He checked him over for injuries and so enchanted by his beauty he leaned down and kissed him."

He backed up having heard enough. His mind was racing as he listened to the others celebrate.

He thought about the tingling sensation he'd felt when kissing Hot Rod and wondered if he was the one who woke him.

He looked around trying to find a way to escape. Hot Rod should be marrying him instead, not Getaway. He was angry that he'd taken credit for what he did and leave him to rot in a jail cell.

He fantasized about punching Getaway in the face and taking Hot Rod for himself. The idea kept him going as the guards treated him terribly often taunting him and refusing him food.

Finally he managed to break out of his cell and escape the dungeon he'd been trapped inside.

He stole the guards uniform and disguised himself as one of them. Sneaking back into the palace he made sure to be more careful. Not wanting to get caught this time.

He'd just made it to Hot Rods door when he heard him inside talking to his mechs in waiting. Hearing his voice for the first time he felt a jolt go through his spine and he went to reveal himself when he listened to what he was saying.

He froze with his audial pressed against the door feeling his spark sink. Even though Hot Rod was his true love he was still an Autobot. Both their parents would never accept their union. No matter how much he wanted to reveal himself and take Hot Rod for himself.

He knew their relationship would never work out. Hot Rod was an Autobot and he was a Decepticon. He'd be better off marrying Getaway.

With a heavy spark he forced himself to leave. He went back to Kaon and forced himself to forget about Hot Rod.

His sire who'd been worrying ever since he was captured embraced him. Relieved that he was mostly unharmed.

Listening to his sire talk battle strategy he found it hard to focus as he continued to think about Hot Rod despite himself.

He tried to focus on other things in the hopes he'd forget about Hot Rod. He buried himself in his work hoping to distract himself and it seemed to be working. He managed to ignore the pull on his spark begging him to go back and take him for himself.

Then one day he overheard people gossiping about Hot Rods bonding which was tomorrow. He'd stiffened immediately going to his office which he trashed in a fit of rage.

He couldn't stand the idea of Hot Rod being bonded to someone else and decided to go see him.

He knew it was risky but he needed to see him one last time before he was Getaways forever.

Going to the city of Iacon was a lot harder this time around. With the bonding taking place tomorrow they didn't want any Decepticons to ruin it.

He ended up having to go through the woods while disguised as a hunter living in the woods. He wore a cloak that hid his face and made his way to the palace trying to think of a way inside.

He was distracted when he heard beautiful singing coming from nearby. Unable to resist he found himself following the voice until he was led to Hot Rod. He was sitting on a log singing a haunting melody filled with mourning. Which he thought was odd for someone about to be bonded.

He found himself moving closer. Wanting to be near the prince, when he stepped on something that startled Hot Rod. He quickly turned around in surprise and wiped the tears from his optics.

He looked at him in shock taking in the marks on his body. He immediately became furious demanding to know who hurt him and already planning vengeance .

"Who did this to you?"

His engine growled and Hot Rod gave him a confused look.

"This... It's nothing."

He quickly denied hiding his face.

"Was it Getaway?"

He looked at him in surprise.

"How did...?"

"You can't bond to him. Not when he hurts you."

"I don't have a choice. He's my one true love."

Hot Rod looked like he was about to cry when he said that and he knew he had to do something.

"That's not true."

"What?"

"I was there. Getaway didn't kiss you I did."

He revealed himself and Hot Rod gasped taking a step back he almost fell until he caught him.

"I don't understand. Why are you here? How are you my true love?"

"I know you have no reason to believe me especially because our people are at war but give me a chance to prove it to you."

Hot Rod looked unsure until he finally relented.

"Okay prove it to me."

He looked into Hot Rods optics that looked at him with hope. He really hoped he was right not wanting to crush Hot Rods dreams that he might be free of that monster.

Leaning in he kissed him and everything suddenly felt right. The two clung to each other as they made out feeling that same tingling sensation.

It was amazing and kissing Hot Rod felt like coming home. When he pulled away he didn't go far both of them occasionally kissing each other.

"Come with me."

He held out his hand and Hot Rod hesitated for a moment. He glanced back in the direction of his palace and then took his hand.

"Okay."

He kissed him again and then took him away back to Kaon where he announced that he would be marrying Hot Rod and if anyone had any complaints they could shove it up their aft.

[earthstellar]

this is probably TMI but the only thing keeping me from losing my fucking mind from all my boob soreness since I had to pause HRT is thinking about how Prowl is absolutely struggling with this every day into forever

shout-out to large boobed space robots, but especially Prowl, the most large boobed of them all

someone punches him in the left headlight and he just screams a little before returning fire with one arm draped over his chest and everyone can hear Ironhide laughing hysterically over the open comms in the background

"the damage ain't that bad, get back out there"

Ratchet, who is also large boobed, starts yelling at Ironhide over the comms while he sends First Aid to assist lmao

"I don't want to hear it from you, Ironhide! Don't think I forgot about you limping into the medbay yesterday after you stepped on some debris, big strong bot can't handle a splinter!"

the twins start laughing at Ironhide and Ratchet yells at them to shut up too lol

big boobed robot solidarity

holy fuck Praxians having a headlight shattered must hurt so fucking bad though, real talk

anyway thank u Transformers for distracting me from sore boob

[toaarcan]

One of my favourite Transformers-related videos on the Internet is Empire Wreckers' 40 minute-long Bayverse analysis where they ultimately conclude that the Bayverse is a version of the setting where the Autobots are evil, the Decepticons are, if not good, then at least better, Megatron, Sentinel, and the Fallen were collaborating on a plan to kill Unicron, and the Decepticons' disdain for humanity is ultimately justified as we're literally the flies on giant robot space Satan's mechanical asshole.

The movies are full of plotholes. The Autobots first arrived in 2007, except no they didn't, they were here before, and also they were involved with multiple human wars, and actually they seem to have been fighting on opposite sides (Optimus is depicted with the British Empire, while Ironhide and Hound are shown fighting with their American and French enemies), that's fucking weird... except pretty much everything we're told about the Cybertronians' history with Earth is told to us by Optimus... who could easily be lying.

Optimus tells us something, and then another movie comes along and reveals that what he told us wasn't true.

The Autobots and Decepticons arrive here, and while the Decepticons retain their freakish, monstrous appearances, the Autobots style themselves as hideous metal caricatures of us. We see the Autobots in protoform in the first movie, they don't start looking like us.

And then there are the alternate modes. The Autobots turn themselves into gleaming, flashy, status symbol cars. Optimus makes himself into a big truck but he only ever pulls a trailer two or three times in the entire saga, and his trailer is mostly just a storage rack for all his extra guns and other various weapons.

Meanwhile, the Decepticons choose modes that are fit for the task. They need to excavate or salvage something? Construction vehicles. Military strike? Military vehicles. Detective work? Cop car. When Megatron finally takes an Earth mode in the third movie, he turns into a tanker truck, and what's he actually doing in that movie? Feeding Decepticon children. He's literally bringing food to his kids. The only time we see a Decepticon turn into a douchey sports car, it's because Soundwave is working alongside a douchey rich guy with a collection of douchey sports cars.

The Autobots are also hyper-violent assholes. Skids and Mudflap are constantly starting fights with each other. When Optimus isn't around, Bumblebee, Crosshairs, and Drift are at each other's throats immediately. And when they actually fight their enemies, they dispatch them in the most horrifically brutal ways possible. Optimus' penchant for mutilating faces is a meme, but he's not the only one performing Mortal Kombat fatalities on everyone he fights. Bumblebee gets in on the action too, ripping Rampage's arms off, tearing Ravage's spine out, and punching his arm cannon through Soundwave's torso before blowing his head off.

By contrast, when the Decepticons go for killshots, they prefer to simply shoot their targets in the spark. They also take prisoners, which the Autobots don't, and pretty much all of them are loyal to Megatron. Even frequent backstabbers like Starscream and Shockwave are pretty much entirely loyal- Starscream's biggest act of treachery is to... retreat when the battle is lost in the first movie. That's it.

There's a lot more to this video than just this, I highly recommend watching it.

[mycarhasasecret]

Hello. How Bubmblebee, Bulkhead, Jazz, Ironhide and Jet Twins (all from tfa) would react on their human S/O constantly annoying Sentinel with "your mom" jokes?

Lmaooo

Bumblebee

Joins in. No question. His jokes are either fantastic (rare) or terrible. He hits you (and everyone else he knows) with some of the best/worst zingers you’ve ever heard. No one is safe from his reign of terror. Having the two of you together in a room is a nightmare.

Bulkhead

He doesn’t really get it. Puzzles over it for a long time. He doesn’t even have a mom. And even if he did, he’s not sure any of what you just said is true. Unless you mean the allspark? But what you just said isn’t true of the allspark either. He gives one his best shot and misses the mark badly. But he feels better when you encourage him and tell him he��ll get the hang of it.

Jazz

Jazz is a master at rolling with the punches. He just kind of goes with it for a while, laughing when you laugh. But eventually he’ll ask you to explain why you make that same joke all the time. It’s up to you how far you want to explain it. He takes it in stride no matter what, seeing it as just another unusual but fun piece of Earth culture

Ironhide

He takes pot shots at other people’s moms with the best of ‘em. He fumbles a bit at first, having no concept of a “mom”. But he eventually catches on as he’s exposed to more and more earth culture and thinks it’s hilarious.

Jetfire/Jetstorm

They get it. Kind of. Sort of. The just kind of say a random phrase that fits the formula and slap “your mom” on the end of it. Then they practically die laughing. It’s funny to watch, even if only because their laughing is so infectious. They’re having a good time. Who can fault them for that?

[Ironhide x human reader part 2]

You still weren’t quite sure about Ratchet’s plan, all he did was give you instructions on what to wear. You were instructed to style your hair nicely as well as wear makeup. The outfit consisted of a red blouse that displayed your cleavage along with a black short and tight fitted skirt that allowed you to show off the majority of your legs. Although the most embarrassing part of it all was when he instructed you to wear your best lingerie, you didn’t even think the Autobots would know anything about that. This all was different from your usual jeans and buttoned-up blouse outfits, not to mention the black high-heeled shoes you were wearing were making it harder for you to be comfortable. Somehow you managed to walk into base without tripping. Upon entering the base you were greeted by Bumblebee who stood before you in a thinking motion as he looked you up and down. “Looking good girl!”, Bee’s radio chimed. You bashfully thanked him for the compliment before making your way towards Ratchet who appeared to be talking to Optimus. They stopped their conversation upon noticing you. “Greetings Y/N, I hope all is well, especially regarding Ironhide’s behavior yesterday”. The prime’s statement caused you to give Ratchet a questioning glance. “There’s no need to feel shame Y/N, we all took notice of Ironhide’s affections towards you and we see no harm in it, which is why we are all willing to support you and help with the plan”. With that, you smiled feeling moved by the prime’s statement. “Alright! What’s the plan then?”, you asked feeling a bit more motivated. “The usual, give us our mission, while you do that I and the others will attempt to make him jealous”, Ratchet explained. You gave him the ‘Are you serious’ look. “Well there’s more, but it’s a surprise”, Ratchet stated with a wink. You rolled your eyes at him, before shouting for everyone to get in position as you pulled out your work tablet that Lennox would email the bot’s missions through. With the little bit of confidence you had, you swayed your hips as you walked between the lines of Autobots. “Alright, Bumblebee you will be guarding cargo with Lennox”, you stated. “Whatever you say hotshot”, you paid no attention to Bumblebee’s response and proceeded to tell Sideswipe his mission. “Sideswipe you get to join Lennox and Bumblebee as well”, “As you wish pretty lady”, Sideswipe responded. One of Ironhide’s canons could be heard starting up, which caused Optimus to give everyone a signal to tone it down. You turned your attention towards towards Optimus and Ratchet. “Optimus, you and Ratchet will be meeting with the president to discuss certain matters concerning humanity's safety”. “Will do, Y/N”, Optimus responded, “you should come with us, your presence would certainly make the meeting tolerable”, Ratchet added. “We shall see on that one”, you replied while lightly chuckling. As you made your way towards Ironhide, you could tell he looked a bit upset, like he was ready to punch someone. However, his gaze softened when his eyes fell on you. Your heart ached as you remembered Ironhide’s rejection, but you shook it off and with the best assertive voice you could muster you read the email. “Ironhide, you will be assisting…”, you stopped, not sure if you were reading it correctly. “You will be assisting me with organizing weaponry…”. Before Ironhide could respond to that, Optimus called all the Autobots to huddle in a circle. “I wish the best of luck to all of you on your missions”, Optimus started. “Is my mission supposed to be some kind of joke!”, Ironhide exclaimed to which Ratchet quickly nodded his head. Ironhide glared daggers at Ratchet, not appreciating his response. Optimus interrupted by stating, “I had personally asked Lennox to let you have a day off, so you can talk things through with Y/N”. “Why? There’s nothing to discuss with her! What do you guys even expect me to do with her?!”. Before Ironhide could continue ranting, Bee’s radio chimed in, “Sha-la-la-la-la-la, don’t stop now, don’t try to hide it how you want to kiss the girl”.

“Ayo Bee, ain’t that from the little mermaid”, you shouted from afar. Bee peeked his head out of the circle and gave you a thumbs up for correct. “As Bumblebee suggested in the song, we are all aware you love Y/N and it’s about time you admit that”, Optimus sternly stated before leaving base with the rest of the Autobots. All but Ratchet left to go to their missions. Ratchet placed his hand on one of Ironhide’s shoulders as he brought his face next to Ironhide’s ear to whisper something. “You are not the only one who adores Y/N, any of us would love to have her as a little sparkmate. So it’s quite a shame that you are trying to deny her, especially with how much she loves you. So much so to the point where she was willing to go along with our silly plan, even going as far as to wear lingerie to gain your attention.” Ratchet didn’t even bother waiting for a response and walked off to join Optimus. Once you were sure everyone had left the base, you spoke up. “So…you ready to start on that mission Ironhide?”. Ironhide said nothing, he didn’t even bother to turn towards your direction. “I’ll just…go ahead and start on our mission”, you stated quietly while trying to contain the tears that were threatening to spill out. His behavior towards you currently truly was making your heartache in the worst way possible. You had no reason to believe your Autobot friends would purposely lie to you, but you can’t help but think maybe they were wrong and that you and Ironhide’s relationship will never be the same again. Before you could walk too far off, Ironhide finally spoke up. “That mission they gave us was just a setup to get us alone together, so don’t bother with that”. You weren’t entirely surprised since you knew they had something planned, that now just left you confused on what exactly you were supposed to do. “They think I’m concerned about what they will think of me. I could care less what they thought of us, my pride is nothing when it comes to you”, Ironhide stated matter-factly. “Then why did you reject me?”, you asked softly. Ironhide finally turned to your direction and the look he gave you was full of love, but also that of sorrow. “I’m scared Y/N, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I hurt you or even worse if the Decepticons get their hands on you. I rather die or even bow down to the likes of Megatron than have you in harm's way.” His explanation left you slightly speechless and all you could do was ask Ironhide to lift you. Ironhide allowed you to climb onto his hand and once he knew you were secure he walked to the nearest wall and slowly sat down with his back against the wall. He then proceeded to lift his hand to his shoulder, allowing you to climb onto it. After situating yourself on his shoulder you spoke, “You’ve always been gentle with me and treated me as your equal…I know you won’t hurt me, besides it is thanks to you that I have not died by that Decepticon’s hand and even get to be here with you guys”. Ironhide hummed at the memory of how you two first met. He could tell you were scared as the Decepticon held you captive, but despite that you kicked and thrashed, even managing to kick one of the Decepticon’s eyes. The kick to the eye, fortunately, did enough damage for the Decepticon to be distracted long enough for Ironhide to shoot him in the face and save you. Ironhide was so impressed by your actions that afterward he asked if you’d join the Autobots, while also promising you safety. It was after that day that the two of you were inseparable. Ironhide took a deep breath before speaking, “I’m sorry Y/N, I shouldn’t have rejected you over something like that and to make up for it I’d like to ask…will you be my sparkmate?”. “Of course!”, you responded before giving Ironhide a peck on the cheek. There was a comfortable silence between the two of you as you nuzzled your heads together until Ironhide remembered he had something to ask you. “Y/N, what is lingerie?, Ratchet mentioned that you were wearing it for me, but I don’t even know what the hell that is”.

[fictional-love-is-my-life]

I really thought the Decepticon dating hc's were informal and cool. So may i get headcanons for what kind of bots would the bayverse autobot faction be into this time? What are the specific traits or qualities they would like or find attractive for their partner to have?

Most of the bots are attracted to nice, sweet, kind personalities. They like the sweet bots that like to help them out and do good deeds.

Some like a little more sass and energy.

Hound likes strong bots who declare their strength and like to prove themselves to everyone. He likes going for the taller bots.

Crosshairs likes a bot who is not a pushover. However, he also likes them a little shy, just because he loves to see them melt when he flirts with them. He likes the effect he has when he can make them blush with some simple affection. He likes bots who are smaller than him, but he can also date someone his size. He won't date someone taller. He also wants someone pretty, like a sports car or motorbike frame.

Bee likes bots like him, someone kind and sweet, and someone who has a sense of humor. Bee will date any height or size and frame type.

Hot Rod likes sassy bots who will flirt back with him. He wants someone who can make him feel flustered just as much as he can make them melt. He's not too fussed about their looks, he can find most frame types attractive. However, he is more keen on the frames who take on sports cars like him.

Optimus likes someone loyal and dependable. He tends to go for bots more mature like him.

Drift likes the calm quiet types, but someone who can also pack a punch. He also likes the educated, someone he can have a nice conversation with.

Ratchet also likes someone educated. But he also likes to have someone he can have fun with, someone with a kind heart who wants to help their friends when they are sad. He doesn't care about frame type or looks, he only wants their personality.

Ironhide like Hound wants someone strong, someone who could easily kick his aft but won't because they like him. He wants someone who can protect themselves. He wants a largely built bot,.

[problematicbots]

Unhinged TFA Movie predictions that I came up with that probably won't come true:

- there a running gag on the movie where Ironhide get thrown out or punch far by Bulkhead everytime he try to kick out Bulkhead of the crew so he can join

-Sentinel prime go mall shopping with Optimus and does his nails and may or may not let him nerd out in the Mall's library.

-Sari get lost in under ten minute in while on Cybertron and Bumblebee have to find her but also got lost. Their whole B plot is them being lost on Cyberton and getting into unnecessary bs.

-Ultra Magnus dies because Jazz accidentally unplugged his Life support so he can listen to some tunes. But since it was Jazz and everyone loved Jazz so the blame fell on somebody else who probably want revenge but would be see by the narrative as evil.

-Blurr come back to shoot Shockwave with a gun and the rest of the cons. Yet this anger Optimus who think they should get a fair trial and progress to chase after Blurr with Bulkhead behind him.

-Cliffjumper is partying because he isn't the first one to died for once in his life and he immediately get squished by a falling Ironhide.

-Sentinel prime realized he don't know what what the fuck to do with all this control and surveillance since the con are dead yet he afraid to take it down since Blurr is still out there killing random people who screwed him and even after that is settled, he not sure he should take down surveillance once everything is peaceful. so Sentinel process to have a anxious breakdown when alone in his office at least he think he's alone but Ratchet end up witnessing it and kinda of feel bad for him so kinda of side next to him to give him a little chat.

-Optimus finally catch up with Blurr but Blurr is like "I got the power of God bitch", pull out all spark and suck somehow suck Optimus and Bulkhead into it. Lucky Bumblebee and Sari who are no longer lost saw it and run to Ratchet.

- So Ratchet, Jazz, Bumblebee, Sari, and Sentinel have to spend the rest of the movie trying to take down this bloody-thirsty Blurr killing innocent people on the streets while trying to get Optimus and Bulkhead out from the all spark

The Anger They Feel

Author: Autobot2001 Genre: Fanfiction Fandom: Transformers Rating: T Warning: Talk of poor mental health Pairing: Drift X Jamie (OC) Description: Seeing how upset Jamie is results in a few Autobots and two human friends ranting about her situation, and hating how there's little they can do to help.

Day 8; @augustofwhump; trap, attack @augusnippets - path of comfort; friends, found family

Several Autobots, using their holoforms, and a few of their human friends watch Crosshairs and Drift walk down the hallway. Drift is carrying Jamie, who is upset. Optimus knows the events before their return, yet it's simple for all to deduce. "I hate there's nothing we can do," Ironhide starts. "I could —," Sunstreaker tries to say. "No! You were told why that's a bad idea." "It's not like they treat mental health better here, but it's so fucked up what Jamie deals with," Cade says. "Add there's nothing anyone can do," Vivian comments, "I hate how we have no ideas but I have learned it wasn't any better on Cybertron before the war started." "No, but at least it was easy to get away from such bots once we were old enough," Sideswipe says, "we know Jamie has disabilities, and it's fragged up she's afraid to show us, but it's even more fragged up this is being used against her. Even if we're kept out of the loop. We know enough." "Indirect attacks on her mental health and, I'd say, occasional traps to make her talk to allow the opportunity to attack her mental health. False concern," Rung comments, "that's all they tell me. I am unaware of any specific things said to Jamie." "So we just watch her hurt, then?" Ironhide punches the metal wall. We know how this is affecting Crosshairs and Drift. They refuse to disclose anything to us, thinking it's protecting us." "That's what they think they're doing when we feel the same anger. They think they're protecting us from feeling sadness," Rung points out, "we can still support them. I know I feel like nothing is helping them. Crosshairs and Drift feel they're not helping Jamie." Optimus decides this is enough ranting and declares the conversation over. He goes to check on the three friends everyone is talking about.

Crosshairs and Drift struggle to calm Jamie. She waited until they got to the shared bedroom to cry. The two don't want visitors but agree to see who's at the door. Optimus is concerned about hearing Jamie cry. What the frag happened? He questions. He knows he's not much help, but Optimus can't leave until he knows Jamie is calm. He watches Drift struggle and Crosshairs hating there's not much he can do to help.

It's a difficult ten minutes before Drift can lie on the bed with Jamie. Crosshairs lays with them. It's another five minutes before she's quiet. The three mechs wait until she's asleep. "How often does this happen?" Optimus asks. "Crying like this is seldom," Drift answers, "but she has been crying often." "We need to keep her away from home, but we've tried that several times," Crosshairs adds, "there's not much else we can do. She knows how much her friends love her. We're more like a family—a found family." Optimus nods. Despite concern for their mental health, he understands it's pointless to remain in the room. Before exiting the room, he informs the two mechs of the others' willingness to help. Hoping Crosshairs and Drift will let the others help in any way they can.

Excerpt from You are my Knight - Chapter 26

(This scene takes place right after the Bumblebee movie end credits scene. Full chapter can be read here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/47294623/chapters/132049703#workskin)

San Francisco, 1987

It’s silent when the Autobots land in San Francisco. Optimus and Bumblebee watch from the forest floor as the Autobots enter the atmosphere, their escape pods lighting up in bright balls of flames before landing in the forest a few hundred feet in front of the two. Optimus and Bumblebee make their way through the forest, passing by trees as they draw closer and closer to the crash site. They reach one pod and the door pops open, Ironhide clambering out.

“Glad you made it, Ironhide,” Optimus says with relief. 

“You sure picked a hell of a spot for us to land,” Ironhide replies. Bumblebee makes a noise with his radio. “B-127,” Ironhide nods. 

“It seems his name is Bumblebee now,” Optimus informs. Ironhide only nods in reply and the group slowly grows, Ratchet exiting his escape pod next and then Wheeljack, Arcee and Mirage. “It’s good to see all of you,” Optimus says. 

“This is… interesting,” Arcee says, looking around. “It’s so quiet,“ she says.

“That is something you will get used to,” Optimus replies. “Bumblebee and I have discussed our next course of action now that we have all gathered here safely.”

“What about the others?” Mirage asks. 

“I will be emitting a signal throughout our stay here if any other Autobot lands on Earth. But for now, we must find shelter and a place to hide. Many of you will need to find altmodes to blend in with the vehicles here.” The Autobots nod before Optimus and Bumblebee transform. The rest follow after and they quietly approach a used car lot beside a junkyard. Ironhide, Ratchet, Arcee, Mirage and Wheeljack then transform and walk the lot in search of new altmodes. 

Ironhide approaches a red beat up van whereas Ratchet’s optic catches on a broken down ambulance in the junkyard, Wheeljack following suit by scanning a busted repair van beside it. The two transform into their new vehicles. Mirage and Arcee split paths down the used car lot and Mirage whistles as he sees a 1980 Porsche 911. Arcee stops at a 1980 Audi Quattro and scans it. After the five get their altmodes, they quickly meet up with Bumblebee and Optimus outside of the property and drive onto the highway. 

They drive up into the California mountains before stopping at an empty area, devoid of human life. 

The group then transforms and they all sit around in the dark, Ironhide digging a hole in the ground, grabbing a nearby dead tree and crushing it in his servo. He drops the wood chips into the hole and Wheeljack switches his servo into a blowtorch, setting it on fire. As the fire burns, the group sits in silence for a brief moment before Optimus finally speaks up.

“I… have some unfortunate news to share,” Optimus says solemnly. His optics dart to Ratchet and Arcee this time before he holds out his arm and opens a panel. He presses a button and Cliffjumper’s voice begins to play from a voice recording. 

This is Cliffjumper of the Autobot Resistance. I have made my way into Earth’s solar system. Unfortunately I’ve found myself stranded on an outer planet. And I am not alone. I have found two Decepticon signatures that have followed me here and I think they know of my location. I’m outnumbered with no weapons. I won’t make it out of this one. So to any Autobot listening out there, this is my final-

The message cuts to static and Optimus drops his arm, pain in his optics as he’s had to hear it for the 2nd time. Ratchet covers his face with his servos, hiding his expression and Ironhide places a servo on his pauldron in comfort. Arcee’s face goes dark and she gets up from her spot before walking off, punching through a nearby tree. It falls onto the ground with a loud thud, leaving everyone in silence.

After a few minutes of mourning, Ratchet removes his servos from his face and sits up, tired. 

“Do you know where his frame is,” Ratchet asks quietly. Optimus shakes his helm. “Primus,” Ratchet breathes. Arcee returns, exiting from the trees. 

“Do you know who did it?” Arcee asks. Optimus shakes his helm. 

“Bumblebee had apprehended two Decepticons during his stay here, I could only hope that those were the ones that did. If so then… Cliffjumper at least was avenged,” Optimus replies. Arcee looks at Bumblebee this time. 

“Did you rip them apart,” Arcee asks. “Did you make them pay for what they did-”

“Arcee,” Optimus admonishes. Arcee growls.

“They DESERVED it for what they did to Cliff!” Arcee snaps. Optimus sits back, offlining his optics and exventing his frustration. He onlines his optics again with patience.

“I understand you are hurting,” Optimus says gently. “We all are,” he says softly. Arcee huffs, hugging herself as she looks away. A few moments pass as Optimus stares into the fire and he looks up at the Autobots in front of them. “There is something I learned during my time here on Earth,” Optimus says. “There is a human concept called family, much like having a mentor,” he starts. “I believe that is what we are,” Optimus then says. “So please… while we are here, look out for each other.” He shuffles for a moment before standing up. “I am glad you are here with me. All of you.” He walks off before transforming and recharging for the night. As the rest of the Autobots go to recharge, Arcee is the last to stay up, staring at the coals in front of her. Bumblebee makes a small whirr and sits beside Arcee, bumping his helm with hers gently. 

She gives a soft smile as Bumblebee wraps his arms around her in a hug. She hugs Bee back. 

“Thanks, Bee,” Arcee says quietly.

Imagine Transformers during Pride month!!!

I'm queer! I love Transformers and think that everyone knows how fucking gay it actually is (not me just simping right now because it's Pride month and I'm feeling emotional), so why not combine it?

Think about it!

Autobots and Decepticons accidentally (or not) show up at a pride parade. They're confused at first,some may annoyed or excited. Then the real fun begins: Optimus Prime leads the parade,making sure that the area in front of them is save; Bumblebee gives free hugs and Ironhide punches those queerphobic people who decided to spread their ignorance! Ratchet carrying a LGBTQIA+ flag he somehow got and asking men (and other people) who are harassing girls (and other people) if they got a problem,making sure to keep them save. Megatron is put in place by a bunch of lesbians and gets to feel how strong humans can be and Shockwave is just confused by the enbys, but gets into conversations with aro/ace folks. Starscream tries to take over leadership of the parade over and over again,but fails every time,somehow managing to get himself a load of bisexual and trans followers. Jazz and Soundwave stand somewhere in the middle battling over who gets to blast his music,while pansexuals try to prevent the Autobots and Decepticons from fighting (every time a fight almost breaks out). The asexuals who were talking to Schockwave encourage and analyse the situation to further their secret plans of taking over denmark, allowing him to analyse them as well. Going further into the asexual lore: Imagine the asexuals teaming up with the Decepticons to come closer to their totally real goal of world domination,but they're actually assisting the Autobots as well!

just something that came to my mind (feel free to add your own thoughts if you want to! I may make this into a story or comic...I would absolutely adore if someone did)

that's all for now,have a good day fellow sentient beings(:

Rung trying to care for baby Sonic leads to a child leash, child harness and need for Energon style espresso. Kid is a bundle of super fast energy that finally mellows when he gets older. The two live in a homemade burrow like in the Sonic movie but more modernized.

Collecting various stuff such as book material(alongside a crafted tablet to read for Rung), old furniture to be repurpose into other items, etc. A bigger space becomes needed when Tails and Knuckles enter the picture.

Everyone would be so confused seeing this peculiar Cybertronian with his three colorful animal younglings. Or that these kids are ready to throw hands that pack a nasty punch despite their size. Literal manifestation of 'I only had them for a day. If something bad happens to them, then I'll kill everyone and then myself.'

Rung would say something just as dumb similar to Ren when confronted by Optimus for occasional absences. Like sire, like sparkling.

Optimus Prime: This is the third time you missed the team meeting. Any reason why?

Rung: My sparkling is a thief with a thing for hearts.

Ironhide: What the frag???

Rung shows up one meeting with Ren in his arms and everyone is just puzzled about the human teen. Or how nonchalant he acts almost if they known each other for some time. Both honestly just admit their father-son relationship without batting an eye.

Rung: This is my human youngling Ren. He tends to spawn demons and other supernatural entities called Persona on a daily basis but they're always on good behavior. Arséne is usually shows out of everyone.

Ren: Hi. 🙂

Arcee: Can I get a human companion?

Optimus Prime: No.

Rung's Alt mode would be a Tuk Tuk style truck. A nice homey vehicle to carry his kid around when on the go. Plus it suits him more than any alt mode Cybertron would've shoved on em.

Today I discovered IDW Transformers Rung, a psychiatrist whose much more than he seems. He's too dad shaped to not drop into sudden parenthood. Look at him! You can't tell me this man wouldn't make such a delightful dorky father figure.

I already got a few characters in mind to drop him on. First is definitely going to be Jak from the Jak and Daxter series. Whether it be pre Jak 2/3 or Post 3 is in the air. I'm leaning to Jak, Daxter and the Kid being displaced with Rung in Transformers Prime. That or Earthspark. Most likely Prime because of comparisons between Eco and Energon.

Plus Jak seriously needs therapy alongside a hug. He's got a case of 'chosen hero' syndrome and self worth issues that needs to be handled.

Next is Sonic the Hedgehog specifically the Movie variant. Both will be displaced in either G1, Cybertron or Animated. I would say Prime just for Super Sonic vs Unicron but nah. Earthspark will be used in a different project with this iteration.

Rung ends up being a dad to a 3-5 year old Sonic, as i can't resist the image of him trying to raise a child that can fit in human sized pockets. Freshly traumatized hedgehog gets hugs alongside therapy. Also the hilarity that between the giant robot and his super fast child, it's Sonic someone has worry about as he will throw hands.

Last one for now is Ren Amamiya/Joker from Persona 5. Universe wise, Prime, canon divergent Bayverse or Knightverse be perfect for the two. Mainly cause Persona is an M rated series that are spurred from the design of particular Personas such as Mara to murder being a more uncommon occurrence. *Persona 4 was literally a murder mystery.*

Rung met and raised Ren when he was five years old. The bot would be unable to stop the unfair trial but definitely won't leave his kid alone in a different city. Plus Rung getting dragged into the Phantom Thieves' shenanigans by Ren. Kid already has a codename made for his pops: Guide.

What do you guys think? Should Rung be hit with the dad hammer?
