So this is the first time I've really given a gift to anyone on Tumblr, lol!

But this is for @justawannabearchaeologist and her series 'TFP Wheeljack in TFA' where TFP Wheeljack goes feral and the TFA Bots watch in horror.

TFA Bumblebee: Boss Bot, he just ran in!

TFA Optimus: Wheeljack, stand down!

TFA Ratchet: Are your processors screwed on backwards?!

TFA Bulkhead: Wait, where's Prowl?!

Anyway, Happy Birthday Justa!

Hello! Sorry for the wait, I kinda... blinked and I had read through all of your recs! haha... (And I struggled a lot w the length of the summaries and number of bookmarks shdjd pinning it down to 7 and a blog was A Struggle) the rid2015 rec was BIG LOVE I adore musings on how growing up in a war might have affected Bee and the ways it manifests. And the mission fic!! I love those :) also I kindaaa cheated and the first three are all from the same writer but they're the ones I Reread Endlessly so I had to rec em all 

A Spark of Courage by Stardustjinn. Transformers Prime, pre-canon, Gen, 19k, complete. origin fic! a take on how bee might have ended up with the autobots in tfp - and the logistics involved, bc new bots are a precious resource in their war...focus on Ratchet and Bumblebee, but has a wider ensemble cast! jazz :D

Do You Like Bees? by Stardustjinn. Transformers Prime, between eps 21-22, Gen, 3.3k, complete. Bee is a clever sneak who cares about his friends getting enough rest, and Ratchet with his synth-en project isn't. The result is...about what you'd expect :)

Pedal to the Metal by Stardustjinn. Transformers Prime, pre-canon, Gen, 14.2k, complete. Bridge malfunction drops Arcee and Bee half a week away from the base, and they have to make it back. It's not quite a mission fic, more like a series of unfortunate events. Focus on Arcee and Bee's bond but everyone makes an appearance eventually :D Cliffjumper included! He's not dead yet haha

Golden Slumbers by JellyDishes. Earthspark, Gen, 5.4k, complete. Cajoled into movie night with Mo, Robbie and the Malto bots, Bee falls asleep, and dreams, past and present blending. It's like...a gentle exploration of Bee's deep-seated fears. It made me cry, and it comes with gorgeous art, so what's not to love really

Brave Educational Experience by rahelum. Earthspark, Gen, 3.3k, complete, references to past voice loss that I'm fairly sure aren't canon in this continuity? It becomes apparent that growing up during a war might have left some gaps in Bee's education, Ratchet steps up to fill in after everyone's freakout is done and over with :P

Nefarious Jazz - Decepticon Demise by BlushLouise. G1, Gen, ~1k, complete. Only Spec Ops would think "Creative ways to end the decepticons" makes a good party game. Jazz plots, as expected, and Bee watches and learns like the sneak he is (affectionate)

If Anything Happens to Either of Us by JCMorrigan. Animated, Gen, 1.9k, complete. Prowl and Bumblebee talk in the aftermath of Nature Calls, bc I love TFA but the lack of talking things out sometimes REALLY grates despite knowing what to expect from most cartoons

I need to get more tfa bee fics, the number of times I WISHED I could rec digger bees but no, no, you WROTE that :') if you have the time, maybe you'd like to check @ justawannabearcheologist 's blog here in tumblr, their "tfp weeljack in tfa" au is pretty neat - their rewrites of total meltdown and nanosec are my favorite out of the lot (predictably haha) I like it when Bee risking life and limb to prove himself is treated with due seriousness.

Hopefully there's something new here you like! If not I can swap you, I have tons more I discarded as too niche haha. I hope you have a lovely day!

:DDD thank you!!! i have collected the links for these for convenience--almost all of them are new to me, and I am delighted.

Nefarious Jazz - Decepticon Demise by BlushLouise (this one i already knew and love)

If Anything Ever Happens to Either of Us by JCMorrigan

true story digger bees is one of those fics that exists because nothing i was finding in the fandom quite scratched that itch. woe to the state of tfa fic. if memory from a few years ago serves, ff.net tends to be better in the way it often is for finding gen fic, but i'm not going to be the one to go digging. i'll be sure to check out that blog, thanks again!

SETTING: (Based on a post by @angelsaxis) Rex has rocked the world with his public rocket-sneeze on Coruscant and EVERYONE knows and EVERYONE thinks it’s the funniest thing ever. Except Rex.

Credit to my little sister for drawing up the storyboard and most of the dialogue for this monstrosity. 🖤 Thanks to @justawannabearcheologist for finding the original post for the Rex Sneeze!
