uh oh, info dump time

info about the bots in my universe

ive done a bit of rearranging with when certain things happen, mostly in rba, so just keep that in mind.

there's some info about robot parenthood at the bottom, so you may wanna give that a read first otherwise you be a little confused by some of the terms i use.

i'll probably come back to this from time to time, so keep an eye on it. ;) you never know who else might join the party.

Main Four

Heatwave Pronouns- He/Him

Earth Age(s)- 27 (RB S1, 2012) 31 (RB S4, 2016) 33 (RBA S1, 2018) 35 (Post RBA S2, 2020) 42 (2027) 45 (2030) 49 (2034)

Status- Living

Personality Overview- Heatwave was born into a world of passion, fueled by his carrier's desire for greatness. He took a lot after her, especially temper. However, the older he got, the more he mellowed out. He's a very proud and stubborn bot, which often rubs off on others. His role as leader has inspired others to better themselves. Bits and pieces of his fiery attitude can be seen in his children, especially his daughter, Firefly.

Occupation- Rescue Bot (firefighter) Academy professor

Immediate Family- "The Bull" (sire) Wildfire (carrier) Possibly numerous half-siblings Blades (conjunx, carrier of children) Hotshot (oldest adoptive son) Firefly (younger daughter) Torch (youngest son)

Other relatives- Sabre (ex-amanti, separated on good terms) Quickshadow (older sister-like figure) Cody (younger brother-like figure)

Chase Pronouns- He/Him

Earth age(s)- 26 (RB S1, 2012) 30 (RB S4, 2016) 32 (RBA S1, 2018) 34 (Post RBA S2, 2020) 41 (2027) 44 (2030) 48 (2034)

Personality Overview- What comes off as cold and uncaring is really just the way Chase was raised and how he shield's himself from past trauma. His analytical nature has served him well in avoiding social situations that may not benefit him. Why waste his time on something if it has nothing to do with his current task? Slowly but surely though, his walls have come down, and his bottled up emotions pouring out, allowing him to truly heal and live without fear. At the end of the day, he loves curling up with a good book, especially if it's of the crime fiction variety.

Occupation- Rescue Bot (police/law enforcement) Academy professor

Immediate Family- Patron/Pata (patron, real name unknown) Cruise Control (matron) Unborn sparks (siblings, failed to thrive) Unborn spark (miscarriage with Pierce) Boulder (conjunx, sire of children) Wedge (oldest adoptive son) Hoist (younger adoptive son) Boomer (youngest son)

Other relatives- Sabre (maternal cousin) Pierce (ex-amanti) Blades Pronouns- He/She

Earth Age(s)- 25 (RB S1, 2012) 29 (RB S4, 2016) 31 (RBA S1, 2018) 33 (Post RBA S2, 2020) 40 (2027) 43 (2030) 47 (2034)

Personality Overview- If you ever want to hear the latest gossip around town, Blades is your bot. Binging reality TV shows brings her much joy, a passion she shares with her daughter, Firefly, who will vehemently deny liking such things. This plucky little helibot is all about staying active and healthy while also, much to their behest, often dragging his family into doing the latest and greatest exercise regimes. She does love lazing around like a couch potato occasionally though.

Occupation- Rescue Bot (paramedic) Academy professor

Immediate Family- Unknown creators Heatwave (conjunx, sire of children) Hotshot (oldest adoptive son) Firefly (younger daughter) Torch (youngest son)

Other Relatives- Unknown

Boulder Pronouns- He/Him

Earth Age(s)- 24 (SB S1, 2012) 28 (RB S4, 2016) 30 (RBA S1, 2018) 32 (Post RBA S2, 2020) 39 (2027) 42 (2030) 46 (2034)

Personality Overview- A lovable teddy bear who just wishes everyone would get along. Don't take his kindness and wishes for naivety though. While he may not have had a happy beginning, he uses his experience to better the lives of others and has played a vital role in the healing of his conjunx, adoptive child, and even himself. His day isn't complete until he's made his family smile, even the tiniest. He has a special interest in botany and ornithology, finding joy in pastimes relating to his passions.

Status- Living

Personality Overview- Since his brother was born, Wedge has strived to be the best role model for him. They still often struggle with when Pierce came to the academy, but nothing a big hug from his family can't fix and take his mind off of it...only if for a little while. Sometimes though they need a little extra helping hand from someone who isn't family to ease his nerves. To this day, he still owns a few decks of Heroes of Cybertron cards, and no, he will never get rid of them.

Personality Overview- Hoist is a bright bot with a gentle spark and an inquisitive mind when it comes to creating new gadgets and gizmos. Hoist came to join his new family after his creators, who were already a bit distant from the young engineer, perished due to unsafe working conditions. Nothing makes him more happy than to tinker with his inventions and spend time with his adoptive parents and brothers, and of course his amanti, Whirl.

Personality Overview- Full of energon and vigor, Hotshot's hyperactive mind is not easy to temper. However, with his adoptive father's firm guidance and his adoptive mother's gentleness, he can focus his energy into his work with mostly positive results. No one is perfect, and Hotshot knows that, all that matters is that he tries his best, and that's all anyone who knows him asks for.

Earth Age(s)- 0 (2020) 7 (2027) 10 (2030) 14 (2034)

Personality Overview- Boomer inherited his love for nature from his sire, but also takes care to understand the balance and laws it enacts on the world. Using his knowledge, he applies what he's learned from his experience and what his creators have taught him into his lessons at the academy. He's a fan of Hawaiian shirts and Jurassic Park and also has a love for reptiles and insects. He has a stuffed albino ball python named Philomena who he sleeps with every night.

Firefly Pronouns- She/Her

Earth Age(s)- 0 (2020) 7 (2027) 10 (2030) 14 (2034)

Personality Overview- Basically if Heatwave's genes Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V'd themselves. Firefly has a bit of her carrier in her too though. She can be very excitable and optimistic about things, while on the other hand, dark humor is her favorite kind. She’s the kind of kid that would hang out in a cemetery all night for fun and to prove that "c'mon guys, it's not that scary!" She enjoys hanging out with her best friend, Boomer, and loves her little brother, Torch, conditionally.

Torch Pronouns- He/Him

Earth Age(s)- 0 (2027) 3 (2030) 7 (2034)

Personality Overview- Is either a complete genius or dumber than a bag of rocks. There is no in between. One may often find him in the middle of the night staring at his creators as they slumber, wanting...something. What does he want? He doesn't know, but he knows he wants it and he wants it now.

Status- Living

Occupation- None/student

Immediate Family- Heatwave (sire) Blades (carrier) Hotshot (oldest adoptive brother) Firefly (older sister)

Other Relatives- "The Bull" (paternal grandsire) Wildfire (paternal grandcarrier)

Other Bots

Sabre Pronouns- He/They

Earth Age(s)- 20s (pre/current-war) 33 (post-war, RBA S1, 2018) 34 (at time of Frostbite's emergence, RBA S2, 2019) 35 (post-RBA S2, 2020) 43 (at time of Icicle's emergence, 2028) 49 (2034)

Personality Overview- Sabre was bit of a party animal in his early years. After his first couple of years at the academy, he straightened out quickly while still maintaining a fun attitude and generally being a well-respected, strong leader. He was once on the same team as Heatwave, being his second in command, and was his amanti, but the two amicably split after Sabre left the team to lead his own squadron of first responders. It was through him that Heatwave met Chase and Blades (separately), ultimately leading to the re/formation of the Sigma-17 first responder team. It's also through Sabre that the Academy on Earth receives new recruits.

Status- Alive

Occupation- Rescue Bot (pre-war, inactive) Dean/Principal of Academy on Cybertron (current)

Immediate Family- Unknown creators Snowraith (conjunx, sire of children) Frostbite (oldest son) Icicle (youngest daughter)

Pierce Pronouns- He/Him

Earth Age(s)- 20s (as a Rescue Bot) Early-30s (as a Decepticon, at time of Wedge's emergence) 36 (since last seeing him, post-RBA S2, 2019)

Personality Overview- Cocky, flirtatious, and has a need to control everything and everyone. He can't stand the idea of something not going his way, especially when it comes to relationships. He will do or say whatever he needs to for everything to be in his favor. That's why when innocent, naïve little Chase came into his clutches, he dare not let go.

Status- Living (incarcerated)

Occupation- Rescue Bot (unknown, possibly construction) Decepticon (unknown rank/occupation) None (incarcerated)

Immediate family- Unknown (low-born) Unborn sparks (offspring, failed to thrive) Unborn spark (miscarriage with Chase) Wedge (offspring/son)

Other Relatives- Chase (ex-amanti)

Voice Claim- Eric Dane

"The Bull" (real name unknown) Pronouns- He/Him

Earth Age(s)- 30s (at time of Heatwave's conception/emergence) 40s (since seeing him last) Unknown

Personality Overview- Not much is known about Heatwave's sire, not even where his nickname came from, other than he was battle-hardened and ready to fight at the drop of a hat. Years of being a successful combatant in the gladiator pits has led him feeling little to no emotion towards others. Every bot has needs though...just ask all of his previous partners.

Status- Unknown (most likely deceased)

Occupation- Gladiator (at time of Heatwave's conception/emergence) Unknown

Immediate Family- Possibly numerous partners Wildfire (one-time fling, carrier of child) Heatwave (son) Possibly numerous offspring

Wildfire Pronouns- She/Her

Earth Age(s)- 20s (height of her career) 30s (at time of Heatwave's conception/emergence) Unknown

Personality Overview- She's didn't take no scrap from no one. If she didn't like someone, she would let them know. She was prideful, but didn't care to boast. Everyone already knew she was the best. If you ever wondered where Heatwave got his fiery spirit from, all fingers would be pointed in her direction.

Status- Unknown (most likely deceased)

Occupation- Gladiator (before retiring due to injury) Arena Battle-Matron/Sponsor (before Heatwave's emergence) Lobbing coach Unknown

Immediate Family- "The Bull" (one-time fling, sire of child) Heatwave (son)

Voice Claim- Nicki Rapp

Chase's Patron/Pata (real name unknown) Pronouns- He/Him

Earth Age(s)- 30s (at time of Chase's conception/emergence) 40s (since seeing him last) Unknown

Personality Overview- Keeps to himself, not very sociable. He was a good provider according to Chase, but didn't interact with him all that much. When Cruise passed away though, Chase's patron started reaching out to him. They had started to build up a good relationship with each other until the fateful day Chase never returned home.

Status- Unknown (most likely deceased)

Occupation- Unknown (some sort of law enforcement)

Immediate Family- Unknown creators (high-class bots) Cruise Control (conjunx, arranged, matron of child) Chase (sole offspring) Unborn sparks (offspring, failed to thrive)

Status- Unknown (most likely deceased)

Occupation- Foster matron Sponsor Caregiver

Immediate Family- Unknown Boulder (ward, adoptive son)

Other relatives- Wedge (adoptive grandchild) Boomer (adoptive grandson)

Voice Claim- Natasha Rothwell

What is a matron/patron and why aren't they the same as a carrier/sire? A matron/patron, or matriarch/patriarch, is a bot who has offspring, (sparkling's, bitlet's, sparklet's, etc.), that have been produced via alternative means versus the common, low-class methods (interfacing). If one wanted sparkling's and were lucky enough to be well off financially, they may invest in this different kind of conception. Since these bots did not technically sire/carry the sparkling, they are simply known as a matron/patron. They may choose to be called by either/any name if they so wish. Many middle to upper-class families may choose this form of procreation for religious beliefs, personal preference, or peer pressure.

A matron/patron may also only procreate as a means of status, having as many as they can afford to create and marrying them off to other mid/upper-class families.

How does it work? With either one or two creators, pieces of their DNA are put into a tiny protoform, creating new life. From there, it's up to the creator(s) if they wish to raise the newspark as a normal sparkling or if they wish to accelerate its growth. Accelerating its growth process skips over any undesirable steps a carrier would normally have to go through, such as enduring symptoms of carrying the unborn spark, emergence pains, and so on. The newspark will grow until they have reached an age where they can be independent but still malleable. In earth terms, these newsparks would be around the age of nine years old, equaling to nine months, the normal growth cycle for a human fetus.

How can these terms best be used? Middle to upper-class bots prefer matron/patron to less informal names or no name at all. If produced through methods like interfacing, offspring will refer to their creators as mata/pata until they've outgrown the terms. Sparkling's born on alien planets may be more inclined to refer to their creators by names from the native dialect of the world though. An example of this would be a bitlet referring to their creator(s) as mama/papa, regardless of whether they are masculine or feminine-presenting.

What if a bot identifies as [pronouns here]? It really is personal preference. If a sparkling has a femme (she/her) sire and/or a mech (he/him) carrier, matron/mata and patron/pata can be interchanged. Patron/Matron are more so meant to be gender-neutral and not adhere to specific gender roles, just what their coding dictates and/or the preference of the parent(s).

TLDR; just a buncha mumbo-jumbo about giant alien robots and their mommies and daddies. 👍

bonus family tree pic of the main four's families. quickshadow and sabre not included bc ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"the bull" and chase's patron are to the left of their partners, while wildfire and cruise and to the right. glory is by herself.
