#sparkeater bumblebee

[cozzzynook]

Monster Au Anon back I bring part 2

Starscream lazily watched the sun slowly rise through the small window. Letting out a sigh the ghostly seeker turned his attention to his left, a small smile formed on his lips when he saw the recharging frame of Bumblebee. The yellow mech still hadn't turned back to his normal frame but he didn't seemed to be in pain or skittish like he was hours before. Flicking his wings the seeker reached out with his servo only to pause when he remembered that no...he couldn't touch Bee without phasing right through him, letting out a sigh he returned his servo to his lap before looking back out of the small window.

A small grumble escaped the yellow mech as he finally stirred awake blinking away the sleepiness from his optics Bumblebee found himself slowly untangling the long tendrils that rested on his back before finally sitting up right. Quickly glancing down at his clawed servos he let out a small huff being slightly disappointed that it wasn't a nightmare, he then lifts his gaze turning to look at the ghostly seeker. "Starscream...are you okay?"

The seeker jumped a little before turning back to his left and flashing a small smile. "Oh! I'm fine little Bee. What about you?"

"Mmm empty or just hungry...at lest my voice box isn't hurting anymore" Bumblebee narrowed his optics being unsure.

"That's good I think?" Starscream flicked his wings as he two narrowed his optics as one thought re-entered his processor again. He had opened his intake again without really thinking. "How did you get infected with" He gestured to Bee's frame with his servo "That?"

The yellow mech gave a soft sigh looking rather sheepish as he wrapped his arms around his frame. "I think it happened during raid on Shockwave's lab a couple weeks ago. At first he shot me what I thought was a faulty taser but then I started to feel...weird then this happened"

Starscream felt a growl rise in his intake as his wings flicked in irritation, of course it would be Shockwave behind this who else?! Letting his platining fall back in place the seeker found himself floating back onto his pedes before finally crossing his arms. "Well, we've waited this out and clearly you haven't tired to go on a spark hungry rampage so I suggest it's safe enough for you to head down the Med-bay" Starscream gave a little smirk when he saw Bee's door wings flick in amusement. "So, let's try and be quick and quiet we don't want to cause your fellow Autobots to panic now?"

Bumblebee laughed as he slowly got to his pedes "You're right I can't sulk in here all day, besides Ratchet might not be able to fully turn me back but...at lest no one should get sick once I'm cured in some way" He then turned to look Starscream in the optic as he gave a toothy smile. "And Screamer?"

"Hm?"

Bee's face suddenly flushed as he quickly and sheepishly looked away. "I-uh it's nothing, Let's go!" The yellow mech suddenly turned as he speed walked towards his hab door.

Starscream just tilted his helm puzzled but quietly floated behind Bumblebee as they made their way towards the Med-bay.

🥹🥹 thank you 🥹😭

[lunarbreaksblog]

Just wondering if I could request for sparkeater fn! Reader who gets caught eating a vehiacon (idk how to spell it sorry😭👍) and when reader turns around and gets caught my the prime team they start to cry and apologise that they didn't tell them that they were a sparkeater (Ignore this if it's too much😭🙏 I just had a idea that a all) (Tfp or Tfa you can choose😊)

How TFA!Autobots would react to you being a sparkeater

Note: big gore warning since mentions of someone young getting eaten

You were missing, the team eventually grew concerned. Yes, you would leave at times and for a while however never this long.

Detroit had become restless without you it seemed, well the team certainly were restless. They were worried you might've been caught by the 'Cons

However, that was a dream compared to what they saw you were doing.

It was a new bot, they could tell that it was barely just created before you caught the earthborn Cybertronian in your talons

Maybe they shouldve not seen the coordinates that Megatron, himself sent with the message:

::Look what I found::

Optimus prime

When it dawns on him that you are a sparkeater, his chassis tightens, his spark rushes and his helm hurts. You were his friend from the academy.

How had he or the guard not known that you were a stuff of legends, a beast...

When you return eventally, he makes you leave— promises he won't call the guard but you are never to come near him or the team.

Strangely enough you try to apologies, worry clouds your helm, how did he know your horrible secret?

Ratchet

He's surprised like Optimus.

He's in disbelief, your scans were normal. Everything was normal with you. You were normal.

But you werent

You are a mechanical cannibal that ate your spark out on that poor innocent life.

You tried to even reason— the newspark was going to be a Decepticon and what you did was a blessing to its sad life

A life that the newspark had yet to live.

You made him sick.

Bumbleebee

In absolute shock, he was never a bot to look at horror holotapes of even like scary stories.

The sounds of you teeth crushing the Cybertronian's trachea was nauesating. He felt small in that moment.

He doesn't look at you

Prowl

Knew that something was wrong with you.

Knew that you weren't like them, never wanted to say it. He liked you even with your strange quirks.

But to see you murder and then devour an innocent life...he didn't like you enough to justify your actions. You had to pay.

He shows no mercy to you when you try to make excuse and even start crying.

He and Optimus force you out of Detroit, promising not to call you in but you will never set foot in Detroit or Cybertron.

Bulkhead

Baby boy full on has a existential crisis, suprisely he helps Optimus and Prowl to build an electro-magnetic field around the base. Just in case if you decide to come back.

They would know that you were there.

He spends a few weeks crying about you, how you lied to him. He goes through all stages of grief...

[moonlight-tmd]

Prowlbee, ShockBee, Blitzbee

Kink head cannons.

Oooh dear- that was bound to get into my inbox at some point. Welp, here we go.

ATTENTION: this blog has a unique version of interfacing so read this post to know what's up!!

(CW: A whole lot of dirty)

ProwlBee

Prowl would defo be into breeding and all the animal-related kinks. Even tho Cybertronians have different biology from earth's animals he still finds ways for them to work stuff out. (octopus breeding, for example) They have a bunch of different poses to do the deed that they like.

Roleplaying as feral and broody are one of the ways they go at it.

Bee defo has some marking kink and loves to leave scratches and bites all over Prowl.

Prowl is mostly the bottom, although he doesn't mind having a go at Bee when the mini wants it.

They both love some sensory play- Bee's horns are sensitife to help him navigate the surroundings but also are very fun to play with during the act. Prowl is sensititve to sound and light so having Bee vent and whisper into his audial defo does things to him. Blindfold makes it even better.

I guess they're into bondage a little bit- I mean, most female animals are pinned down while the male breeds them therefore Prowl would be into being tied up/having limited movement and letting Bee wreck him while he helplessly struggles.

BlitzBee

Both of them are a bit of masochists- c'mon what did you expect.

They're reallly into marking, although Blitzwing has to be very careful because Bee is much more fragile than him.

They're switches, but Bee's topping score is a lot higher than Blitz's.

Blitzwing is into praise, he never really got any and loves when Bee whispers all those sweet things, dirty or not, into his audials while he ravages his insides. Bee is 50/50 on praise and degradation; he loves when Blitzwing tells him how much he loves him/his frame while also scolding him for trouble/being an aft.

Size difference. Bee loves to be strangled by Blitz's thick meaty tentacles and have that sweet sensory input all on him. Bee's tentacles are thin but quite long and very easy to get into all the little cracks and crevices at the sensitive spark chamber.

Blitz's glossa itself is a lot like a tentacle so Bee loves it when Blitz lick his tentacles and with it- Bee's still a little bit nervous when Blitz brings his intake close to something so small and fragile as his spark chamber but trusts him to not eat it. (which Blitzwing would NEVER do, not to his hummel)

Bondage for Blitzwing. I cannot stress enough how much he loves being tied up by Bee and having him do all the amazing things to him- he was scared at first but began to absolutely love it over time. Bee likes to have power over Blitz like that.

Edging, these two cannot go without having as least a little bit of teasing. They both love to make the other one beg them to finally do some real action.

Vore. Blitz is adamant to squeeze Bee into his intake and have him be all snug and comfy inside...and maybe have some more kinky action going as well. Bee wasn't as excited for this as Blitz but it eventually rubbed off on him and he gets a little horny whenever Blitz licks or puts his limb into his intake. To Bee's surprise, Blitz actually put effort into preparing himself to eat Bee; Blitzwing has eaten a lot of stuff over his years of existence, many which were not made for consumption, his fuel tank could handle almost anything. He made sure his throat could fit something larger and that all the system commands worked perfectly so he wouldn't accidentally digest Bee (which was very alluring and kinky but he couldn't allow it.) They have one of those giant spools or wire that Bee ties around his leg/arm so Blitzwing can pull him out easier. Whenever he's inside Blitz, he has to have this protective shield-coat (think like a glove around his whole frame) over himself so his own exposed parts don't get damaged by Blitz's internal fluids... also his paint, he does not have an excuse to explain why he's missing paint/has to get new one so often. Blitz loves having an "internal massage" done while he (and Bee) self-service. Bee loves the tight space and its walls squeezing him everytime Blitz moves.

ShockBee

Shockwave/Longarm loves to be in control. He loves to immobilize Bee and tell him what to do/say as well as delay/force his overloads.

Bondage is a huge thing for both of them, Shock/Long doesn't even need a rope to tie Bee up and have him all exposed. Same with Bee, he'll just maneuver his way around enough and have Long/Shock tangled up in his own limbs and at Bee's mercy.

Shock/Long loves to praise Bee- just tell him every single thing he loves about him and how good he's doing.

Bee loves how Longarm's body is all thick and plumpy. Loves to grope it when the mech least expects it during the fun. He's surprisingly flexible which allows them to try out a bunch of different poses.

Now for the bonus fun! AUs!

Cyberbeast AU (ProwlBee)

Prowl knows Cyberbeasts are like earth animals and that they too have their breeding season once a year. During that one week Prowl is basically kidnapped and ravaged over and over and over again- Bee, quite literally, is trying to breed him real good and Prowl loves it.

Prowl is into doing it while Bee's in his beast alt. He loves when Bee growls and bites at everything he can and rubs his scent on him. Even in half alts he does it.

Bee loves getting praise, he puts on intentionaly displays to further enchant his mate. Prowl is half into body worshipping Bee on this- he's just so amazed by the beauty of his one and only.

Prowl is always the bottom, he has no choice (not that he complains) but to get pinned down, barely able to ventilate and get wrecked.

Prowl actually persuaded Bee into wearing collars and leashes while they do it. They have a pet/owner roleplay whenever that happens.

Warframe!Bumblebee AU (BlitzBee)

Brasshorn/Bumblebee loves having Blitz immobilized and left to his mercy. He loves to be in control but in a way that'll let him drown Blitz in pleasure and bliss and not command him.

Brass/Bee loves to praise Blitz and worshipping his frame as if it was the most perfect one to ever exist.

Blitz really wants to top but Brass/Bee doesn't let him, only for special occasions (he has to be functional for work).

Blits is into BDSM and really wants to be ravaged by his mate but Brass/Bee is always careful with him- unless he begs long enough, then he'll wreck him in the best ways possible straight on his workbench.

Civil!Blitzwing AU (BlitzBee)

Blitzwing loves when Bee dirty talks and degrades him, Bee loves when Blitz praises him.

Blitz loves a bit of pain play- he's full of dirty little secrets he has yet to uncover.

Part-Insecticon!Bumblebee AU (BlitzBee)

Feeding kink. After hatching from the cocoon, Bee can produce honey. Blitzwing loves to eat it, more so when Bee sits on top of him and feeds it to him- even more so when it's mouth-to-mouth and they can enjoys all the sweetest kisses in the world.

Praise and worship, wings specifically. fligh frames have in-build thing for wings; Blitz adores Bee's sparkly wings and knowing their history he doesn't hold back about them when he's praising Bee. Bee is often too overstimulated to do the same but he'll let Blitz know by grabbing his wings and caressing/pulling at them.

Bee has a valve under his abdomen after hatching, and it gets really leaky when the two have fun. Blitzwing has Bee (carefully) pinned down with one servo while he passionatelly make out with him, ravages Bee's insides with his tentacles, and roughly fingers the valve giving Bee way too much stimulation on all ends. Bee loves it, even though he's numb for the entire day afterwards.

Bee loves to rub himself on Blitzwing and leave the sweet perfume on him, Bee got claws too so he'll leave tiny scratches on Blitz- most often his wings, to claim him into the hive.

Sparkeater!Bumblebee AU (ShockBee)

Since Bee and Long/Shock can't really interface because of the risk of contracting the disease, they have to come up with other ways to pleasure themselves. One way is to self-service one another.

Long/Shock has acquired an improved lab protection shield-coat (force field that sits on you like a glove) before he came to earth, this allowed them to actually interface without (most of) the stress about transmitting the disease via energy/fluids. (it shift with the body but never lets anything inside)

It's a rarity for Bee and Long/Shock to play the life and death game, but when they do- Long/Shock brings Bee a live spark to devour before they have fun, Bee uses his sparkeater form to get all kinky with bondage and marking (always with protection). Long/Shock loves the sense of danger when Bee licks his tentacles, slowly inching closer to his spark chamber. Bee would never do this to him and with a tank occupied he's barely any hungry.

Also some stand-alone Bee kinks cuz I like him-

Bee loves dress up, he'll put on fancy lingerie for his beloved and behave the part of a good "caretaker" while pleasing his mate.

Bee is a certified top, sometimes he bottoms but mostly he's in charge. Tiny top bias showing-

Choking/Squishing/Size difference. He loves a good hefty mate, and almost everyone is bigger than him so it makes sense- the bigger the better.

Praise- this guy loves to get his ego rubbed, especially during fun times. He loves the attention thoroughly.

Always aftercare, he'll do his best to actually take care of his beloved after the fun.

For artificial prime: Optimus becomes a sparkeater during the unicron arc.

Heck yeah, an excuse to ruin my boy more.

Most relevant post here.

━━━━━━ ⊙ ❖ ⊙ ━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⊙ ❖ ⊙

The perfect machine. Optimus Prime was expertly designed to mimic a living Cybertronian and possess all the cognitive abilities of one. He had no spark, but the false Matrix served as both his power regulator and strategic aid. He believed he lived, and that was all that mattered. Ratchet wallowed in his guilt and his creation marched ever onward following the calls of war.

Then Unicron woke, and everything went to slag.

Optimus was not a true Prime, he couldn't be. However he most certainly had the visions of one. Ratchet created a false key to Vector Sigma as a failsafe for his use. If Optimus's false Matrix ever fell apart, Ratchet could use the data stored on the key to restore its databanks. That was the whole point. But Optimus believed the key to be real, and so his plan almost entirely revolved around throwing himself into danger to try and use the false Matrix to force Unicron back into stasis. Ratchet only managed to drag the plan out of his creation through the use of some of his well hidden coded commands, but once he had it, he knew he could not let it be. Optimus was going to use the Matrix and there was no getting around that. But Ratchet could alter it, he could make Optimus's plan work through subtle uses of technology.

A quick jab of sedatives in the dead of night, a quiet dissection of the faux Matrix, and a swift integration of an EMP field generator was all that was needed. Just like back on Cybertron, not a spark was suspicious. Optimus's memory was carefully altered to show that he'd come by for recharge inducers before heading to his berth, hence his helm ache and sluggishness. Then, just to be safe, Ratchet copied his creation's AI onto a drive he specifically designed for such a scenario. He would not be caught unprepared, especially considering the likelihood of his creation not coming back was quite high.

Optimus marched toward what Ratchet could only guess was certain death. While it hurt the medic's spark to see the only remnant of his oldest friend throw himself into what was likely to be his doom, he did nothing to stop his creation from going on. He had his failsafe, and while it would certainly be a trial to create another frame, he could do it... he had the knowledge needed to make it work... and yet, Optimus had long proven to be able to feel, if only because Ratchet made it so. The part of Ratchet that saw the being before him as his progeny in a twisted sense could not bear to let Optimus go without a farewell. As such, before the false Prime left, Ratchet held Optimus's servos in his with a gentle smile and offered what words he could.

"Come back to us alive, Optimus. We... I cannot go on without you."

Optimus was surprised, but he took Ratchet's emotional response with grace. Ratchet for his part grit his denta and stood firmly as his creation, with Megatron by his side, went through the groundbridge. Ratchet did not waver, he did not allow himself to as he kept dutiful tabs on the vital signs of the team until he could no longer trace them. He remained with the children, praying to Primus for the first time in his life since he created Optimus that all would be well. When the ground shook, he gathered the children around him while continuing to hope and shielded the small humans in the event that the worst come to worst.

Then it all stopped.

The ground no longer shook. The tides returned to normal. Tornados dissipated and volcanoes fell dormant. Optimus had succeeded, and Ratchet could not have been more relieved when his creation's vitals came back online. However that relief was short lived when the team returned without the machine Ratchet had spent so long cultivating. Megatron had dragged Optimus off and the team had been unable to stop it. According to the reports, Optimus's memory seemed to be largely shot, leaving him with only recollections of his time as Orion. For Ratchet, that translated to one horrible horrible situation.

Optimus's AI was shot, and considering he went with Megatron, his faux Matrix likely was as well. There was only one way forward, and Ratchet already hated it. The false key would fix the faux Matrix without issue. But restoring Optimus's AI? It was likely an impossible task. He would need to be captured, then Ratchet would need to see if his mind was salvageable. If not, he would need to be purged and the copy implanted. The issue with that plan? The upload of an AI copy would be a highly delicate procedure. One wrong move and the AI could be corrupted. There was no room for failure as Ratchet issued orders to begin retrieving the missing Prime.

Thankfully, they did not have to do much to get Optimus back.

Not even a week after he went with Megatron, Optimus Prime came flying out of a ground bridge in the middle of nowhere. He was covered in energon, cuts, and wounds, but he was alive. The team, Bumblebee especially, were relived beyond words when they dragged Optimus back and plopped him onto Ratchet's medical berth. However that was when things went wrong all over again.

Up until that point, Optimus had been unconscious, his AI likely overwhelmed from whatever he had gone through. However as Bumblebee came near to try and check on his Sire in all but bond, Ratchet's creation shot up, and Bumblebee dropped to the ground totally immobilized. The team could hardly comprehend what was going on until Optimus's entire frame seemed to warp and cables whipped out from somewhere beneath his plating. An unholy shriek echoed from his vocalizer before he leap and his jaw unhinged, his gaze firmly on Bumblebee who remained prone on the floor. The team prepared to open fire in pure terror, but Ratchet stepped forward first.

"OPTIMUS! EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN! CODE ORION.P.2229!"

Just before Optimus could lock in on Bumblebee or cause any damage, he froze and dropped like a bag of bolts. The team fell still, Bumblebee scurried to his pedes, and the Prime lay on the ground without so much as venting. His gaze was lifeless and Ratchet could only groan as he dragged Optimus onto the berth yet again. Scans were run as the team watched, and it was not hard to figure our that the creature of legend was now what made up the husk of their leader. Optimus's AI was totally corrupted without a trace of any sentience left. His very CNA had been altered to match that of the notorious spark eater. The only salvageable part of him was the faux Matrix, but even that was nearly impossible to even attempt to remove with how much Optimus's frame had warped.

There was no saving him. Unicron's taint had permanently devastated the frame Ratchet had so perfectly crafted. He did not have the means or the materials to make another, much less fix the faux Matrix. He had Optimus's uncorrupted AI, but it would do him little good with Optimus's nature still a secret. Waking the AI on a computer would be traumatizing for Optimus and would reveal everything all at once. There was no winning. Either Ratchet would need to somehow pull something out of his aft and fix the feral sparkeater enough to be usable, or he would need to snag a protoform from the Nemesis, alter it, get a new power source, wake Optimus's AI and get him up to speed, and THEN put him in it with the correct codes.

An impossible battle.

Ratchet warded off the team with assurances that he would fix things, all the while he strapped the spark eater down and watched it flail once the shutdown wore off. He held the datastick with Optimus's AI in his servos as he watched, contemplating. The team needed their leader. Ratchet couldn't just produce one out of thin air as he had on Cybertron. Deals with Megatron were out of the question and the team needed the wisdom of Ratchet's dutiful creation. The secret would need to come out, preferably before Optimus's AI was activated. Then hopefully, if they didn't kill him on the spot, they could find a way to get Optimus up and moving.

Surely they would see reason? Surely... they would understand... right?

Ratchet could only pray as he gathered around with the team, showed them the datastick, and began one long explanation.

Sparkeater Badassatron!

Yeah I just reused my tfa sparkeater Bumblebee au (or well its more like a Murder Drones au tbh) into transformers one.

The sparkeater is based on the absolute solver/empurata.

Does Sentinel know about this? No. He absolutely did not know this could happen.

Hello! Hope you’re doing well! Do you mind doing a scenario where what if TFP Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Arcee, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee encountered and being attacked by a Decepticon with a vampire-like abilities. Like they got a fang-like needle mechanic in their mouth that allowed them to bite into the armour of other Cybertronians and allowed them to suck the Energon out of them?

Not going to lie, I pictured a Sparkeater when I read the needle bit. This does mention the Bots getting attacked, per request. If this isn't what you wanted please let me know.

Hope you enjoy!

Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Arcee, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee being attacked by Decepticon with Vampire like abilities.

SFW, mentions of needles, nothing graphic, everyone survives, Cybertronian reader

TFP

This Con was almost considered an urban myth amongst the Autobot ranks.

Something to scare the new recruits into making sure that they came back to base at curfew rather than later.

It wasn’t until they came to Earth that they realized that these rumors were true.

Optimus Prime

Optimus had been taking a drive with Agent Fowler when the attack happened.

They had been driving through a more forested part of the planet. Prime doesn’t remember where exactly, but he remembered a lot of greenery around him.

Something had hit him on his side in vehicle form which caused him to involuntarily transform. He made sure that Fowler was safe from the impact before putting him down on the ground.

“What in the name of Uncle Sam’s pants was that Prime!?”—Agent Fowler

“I am not sure Agent Fowler. But I fear we are not alone here.”--Optimus

“I could have told you that.”—Agent Fowler

“I highly recommend you to call in the base—”--Optimus

BANG!

That’s when the next round of hits came in.

The worst part was that the Prime couldn’t see who his assailant was. If this was the act of red energon, it wouldn’t have last this long.

He remembered the pain he felt when something slashed into this neckcables.

Luckily, he managed to get one good punch on his assailant. Fowler in the meantime was trying to get in contact with the team. The assailant tumbled back from the force of the punch, Prime managed to get a good look at the thing that caused him the damage.

Optimus could feel the energon from his neckcables drip down his frame at an alarming rate. The unfamiliar bot stood in front of him, Prime would have given a full report on the description, if his vision wasn’t getting fuzzy and getting darker.

He did, however, see the biolights of a purple Decepticon insignia before he fell to the ground, and everything went dark.

When he woke up, he was back at the base the first thing he saw was Ratchet’s worried face looking straight at him.

The second thing he saw was Fowler looking down at him with a grim expression on his face.

“Welcome back to the land of the living Prime.”—Agent Fowler

“Wha—”--OPtimus

“Yip, yip, no talking. You lost an alarming amount of energon. Just rest Optimus. Everything is okay now.”--Ratchet

He would have had a relatively peaceful recharge… if the haunting biolight wouldn’t have been the first thing he saw in his dream state.

Ratchet

Ratchet was out on a mission with Optimus when the attack happened.

They had been looking for any traces of energon near the bottom of one of the gorges near the base.

Then it happened.

“I don’t think that there is any energon here Optimus.”--Ratchet

“Let us search the next bend. The readings suggested this area has at least one deposit somewhere here.”--Optimus

“Well might I suggest—”--Ratchet

BANG!

Ratchet was suddenly attacked from behind and thrown into the canyon wall. Before Prime could have reacted, he too was thrown in the opposite direction at incredible speed.

Ratchet tried to get up, but his vision was suddenly filled by a series of purple biolights and a shot of pain in his neckcables.

He screamed in pain as he felt the energon gush out of his frame. Ratchet could tell the amount of energon he was losing was at an exponential rate, if he didn’t get this this off him, he wasn’t going to make it.

The biolights quickly went away as Prime literally ripped his offender off him.

The offender quickly ran into the shadows and disappeared.

The last thing Ratchet remembered seeing was the ground coming towards his face before he was caught in someone’s arms.

Everything went dark.

When he woke up the first thing, he saw was Raf’s little worried face looking at him like he was about to cry.

“H-hey Ratchet. You’re okay!”--Raf

“Hmm…”--Ratchet

“It is all right old friend. You may rest now.”--Optimus

“Hrm…”--Ratchet

“Rest.”--Optimus

Ratchet smiled tiredly before falling into restless recharge.

Arcee

Was patrolling with Wheeljack and Bulkhead when the attack occurred.

The trio had been looking though a wooded area after receiving a destress signal.

“I don’t like this.”--Arcee

“You don’t like any of these distress signals.”--Bulkhead

“But she does have a point Bulk. We’ve been here for about an hour, yet nothing.”--Wheeljack

“So, it’s a trap?”--Bulkhead

“Most likey—”--Arcee

THWANG!

Something had literally launched Arcee into the air.

Before she could register what happened she was kicked straight down to the muddy earth below.

Everything was ringing.

Arcee tried to see what was happening through her shaky vision. She could see Wheeljack and Bulkhead trying to fight someone with little luck.

Or fighting something.

She was suddenly picked up by her neckcables and felt a searing pain come down on them. Through her weakening strength she tried to fight back, but it made her more sluggish than before.

The sudden grip on her neckcable was gone in an instance as she tumbled to the ground.

Arcee remembered hearing more clashes of metal, someone picking her up while saying something before she blacked out.

When she woke up, she saw a sleeping Jack near her servo and a worried Wheeljack and Bulkhead looming over her.

“Hey ‘Cee.”--Bulkhead

“Hey…”--Arcee

“Hey don’t talk too much. Ratchet will have our metal hides if he hears you talking.”--Wheeljack

“Hmm.”--Arcee

“Take a nap. You earned it.”--Bulkhead

She gave a tired smile before going back to recharge. But it wasn’t without seeing the evil flash of biolights.

Bulkhead

Bulkhead was coming back from Dune bashing with Miko when the attack happened.

Bulkhead had transformed to give them both a break.

Miko sat down taking a breather when Bulkhead was suddenly thrown back at top speed.

BANG!

“BULKHEAD!”--Miko

“Miko! Get out of here!”--Bulkhead

“But what about you!”--Miko

“Just goooAAAAAHHH!”--Bulkhead

Miko quickly got up and activated the Apex armor.

She saw some weird looking bot on top of Bulkhead while Bulkhead was squirming underneath them.

Miko didn’t know why Bulkhead wasn’t tossing the stranger like a rag doll but seeing his weakening movement told her something was wrong.

Miko ran as fast as she could and punched the bot off Bulkhead sending it flying several feet back. The strange bot hissed before disappearing into the dunes.

Bulkhead groaned, alerting her.

Miko quickly commed in the base and hosted her guardian on her shoulders as the ground bridge opened.

Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus came out running helping Miko with Bulkhead and back to the base.

Bulkhead, still conscious, began mumbling about the strange bot as they made it to base.

Once Bulkhead was on the medslab, Ratchet put him in temporary stasis.

“Ermm..”--Bulkhead

“Yip, yip, no more moving for you. I’m putting you in temporary stasis to help treat your wounds better.”--Ratchet

“But Ratchet—”--Bulkhead

“Hey! No more talking! Listen to Doc-bot.”--Wheeljack

“Don’t call me that!”--Ratchet

“Just take a nap Bulk. We can talk about it when you’re better.”--Miko

“Miko—”--Bulkhead

“Rest soldier. For now, you rest.”—Ultra Magnus

The last thing he saw was Miko wishing him sweet dreams. The first thing he saw in his dream was the taunting biolights above him.

Bumblebee

It was him and Smokescreen on patrol in a cavern a couple Klicks from an old energon deposit.

They had decided to split for a moment to see what was going to the two separate paths in the cavern.

“There’re two paths here. We should split up!”--Smokescreen

“Beep bep? (Are you sure? That doesn’t seem like a good idea.)”--Bumblebee

“Oh, c’mon Bee. Live a little, anyways we’re only a scream away from each other.”--Smokescreen

“Beep ber bep (This isn’t going to end well…)”--Bumblebee

“Say whatever—”--Smokescreen

Rock cavern starts caving in front of Smokescreen’s path.

“BEEP! BEP—(SMOKESCREEN! SMOKESCREEN ARE YOU--)”--Bumblebee

BANG!

Something rushed into him causing him to crash face first into the stone wall.

He suddenly felt something stab into the make of his neck cables. Bumblebee remembered screaming at the pain shooting up through his spinal struts. He doesn’t remember how long he screamed or for how long the pain lasted because he passed out soon after.

He didn’t know how, but he woke up in the base.

His limbs felt like lead and couldn’t move, he could only barely online his optics.

“Hey Bee.”--Smokescreen

“Be—”--Bumblebee

“Shh! Ratchet will have my backside if he saw you talking to me! And you don’t want to wake the little guy either.”--Smokescreen

Bee looking down on his chassis to see Raf curled up sleeping quietly.

“Just sleep Bee. We’ll talk about it later.”--Smokescreen

Bee nodding slightly.

Bumblebee slowly offlined his optics, hoping for some peaceful sleep. He was met with the vision of overwhelming biolights and giant needles digging into his neckcables.

[daylesspax]

WOO

OKAY (UHGzhJKL:JNBVH B We're doing reeeeeeeeally similar things right??

But like, there's a biiiig difference at the start

I'm using Megatron for Odysseus, right? His thing in the comics of going from like, protesting miner to ruthless warlord? That's basically Ody (/lh /s) :D

ALSO, because I'm a lover of the gay robot divorce (obviously /lh)

Optimus as Penelope. HERE ME OUT

What if when Megs gets back to Ithaca or whatever (I'll replace it with Kaon probably) he's like, not himself, sooooooo that leads to war or smth, idk, I'm still working on the first part

Also we're literally reading each other's minds, I'm thinking of Sentinel being Poseidon (Because it just fits???) And I don't Megatron would like him in the comics either loool

I ended up with Bumblebee as Telemachus too (He gets TWO dads. Sorta)

For Megs's crew, it's just gonna sorta be the rest of the Decepticon army lol. I'm thinking Eurylochus would be Starscream(duh), I'm not sure about Polites, I'm thinking Jetfire maybe? I'm not sure how much sense it makes, maybe I could use TC instead.

THE CYCLOPS AND THE SIRENS!!!!! HEAR ME OUT!!

Instead of a Cyclops, it's a TITAN. I literally have this planned out, like omg

They're running low on Energon to power their ship but then their censors pick up large amounts of Energon on a planet. But they soon realize, it isn't a planet! It's a city floating out in space, Celaphus, the dead city. Celaphus thinks they're taking the energon away from their citizens (Who are all dead if you couldn't guess lmao)

The sirens would probably be Sparkeaters in an abandoned space station :0

(I would type more but my hands are getting sore klmjhgyfcgh)

Ok ok OK! THIS IS VERY COOL!!

The sirens as spark eaters is so good…

And we have the same idea for the cyclops!!!

And for me the crew would either be the elite guard or the miners!

And I’ve experimented a few times with Orion/Optimus and Megs/D being two seperate people just because I’m horrible at remembering different transformers off the top of my head since I usually make up shit as I’m listening to the music and haven’t really properly fleshed out anything… heh…

So sometimes I’d assign Optimus as Penelope and Orion as Polites :D

(It’s so so hard for me to think of multiple sunshine/‘bright’ characters when I’m trying to stick to a single continuity…)

[witchofthesouls]

I think TFP Soundwave is the most feral of the Soundwaves.

While he shares his other iterations of great competence and loyalty, this fucker was a full-blown gladiator in the Pits of Kaon. As well as the only other fighter to actually force Megatronus to a draw.

Similar to Megatron, he has flair for dramatic showmanship. Just look at the fights against Airachnid and Wheeljack. But where Megatron leaned into an aggressive and powerful persona, Soundwave did a different approach.

I think it was deliberate that his modern design invoked an otherworldly cryptid-like vibe. His lack of plating isn't a weakness. If anything, it's a taunt.

He leans into the creepy/horror factor. To the point that Ratchet described Soundwave as Cybertronian unlike any other. (But let's not forget that Ratchet, and the Autobots in general, have their own biases.) There was a Tumblr post analysis on how TFP Soundwave may have been mimicking a sparkeater's frame and behavior.

And that is what gives him a greater edge over the other Soundwaves. He purposely remodeled himself to act as a terrifying supernatural beast of yore. Soundwave is the Sparkeater to Megatron's Slagmaker.

It also says something about the environments that shaped both him and Megatron and the Decepticons as a whole, especially with the imprisonment scene where Soundwave basically went Fuck You to the Autobots and Bulkhead had thought he actually offed himself. It's that of perpetual brutality and violence.

No matter how charismatically affable and social TFP Megatron is, we also see he doesn't spare a rough hand upon his subordinates. Yes, he cares. But it's warped in a way that bridges the methods that formed his escape and rise to power and gets results. It isn't just physical violence. There's also emotional and psychological as well. (The Orion Pax arc, clawing over Knock Out's finish, Megatron and Bumblebee, Jack and Megatron, how the kids were kept in vials to trade for the Omega Lock, the attempt and taunts of "Gilded" Earth, and that's at the top of my head.)

They were shaped by it, and they continued it.

So I honestly think Soundwave would respect absolutely raw acts of savage violence. Someone tearing out a throat with their own teeth like an animal wouldn't induce horror and disguist. More like approval and appreciation that others aren't afraid to throw off their own fragile, cultured masks of civility to really get down to bare struts of what they are truly capable of.

TF Big Bang 2023 Preview

Introspection. Philosophy. Strategy. Vision.

These are some of the things I had in mind for Soundwave and Prowl in my @tf-bigbang fic, which will be posted to AO3 September 22nd - 24th.

My idea was to throw my two favorite tactical geniuses into a story and see where I could take things. It remains to be seen whether they’ll leave the world better or worse than they found it, but for now, I’m just having fun setting things in motion.

DEATH OF THE PHOENIX, RETURN OF THE WOLF

MEGATRON’S PLACE IN THE DECEPTICON DREAM HAS EXPIRED. SOUNDWAVE REFUSES TO LOOK BACK. THE AUTOBOTS MAY HAVE WON THE WAR, BUT HE IS DETERMINED TO SECURE A PLACE FOR HIMSELF IN CYBERTRON’S FUTURE. HE DOESN’T INTEND TO ALLOW HIMSELF TO BE DERAILED AGAIN.

PROWL KNOWS BETTER THAN TO EXPECT A WARM WELCOME. HE MAY HAVE ANSWERED THE CALL TO RETURN HOME, BUT HE LOST SIGHT OF THE MEANING OF “HOME” A LONG TIME AGO. AND HE’S MORE THAN FINE WITH THAT. HE TELLS HIMSELF THAT CYBERTRON STILL NEEDS HIM, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, NO ONE TOLD CYBERTRON.

CYBERTRON’S GREATEST MIND READER MEETS ONE OF CYBERTRON’S GREATEST MINDS. NEITHER KNOWS WHAT EXACTLY TO EXPECT OF THE OTHER.

BOTH HAVE THEIR SHARE OF SECRETS.

BOTH THINK THEY KNOW WHAT’S BEST FOR THEMSELVES AND THE WORLD.

AND NEITHER ONE OF THEM IS WANTED.

A sneak peek of the amazing art piece for the second part above, done by the wonderful @seafl0wrz:

Fic preview text below the cut:

[PART ONE]

Satisfied, Ratchet placed one of his hands firmly on Soundwave’s upper left arm.

Before Ratchet could proceed, Soundwave caught his wrist with a tentacle, blocking the grinder from going anywhere near its intended target. Ratchet froze.

⟪⟪ No. ⟫⟫

Everyone looked up at the sound of Soundwave’s voice. It was an old recording, but it caught their attention all the same.

Recovering from his shock, Ratchet spoke. “All I’m doing is removing your insignias. Nothing more.”

⟪⟪ No. ⟫⟫

Unsure of what to do, Ratchet looked to Optimus, a silent plea in his gaze.

The Prime came over to Ratchet’s work area and stood to Soundwave’s right, assessing the situation up close.

“Soundwave,” he began. “May I ask—what is the nature of your refusal? The war is over. I assumed you would renounce the Decepticon Cause upon your retrieval.”

Silence.

***

[PART TWO]

Movement outside caught Prowl’s eye.

The dark form of Soundwave loomed in the hangar entrance. A sense of trepidation came over Prowl.

Noticing the direction of Prowl’s gaze, Optimus turned around.

“Soundwave. While you were out, Ratchet and I received a call from Bumblebee. Prowl was sent to us.” Optimus looked from one to the other. “I assume you remember each other.”

As if I could ever forget The Sparkeater, thought Prowl.

Without a word, Soundwave approached with the same slow, measured gait Prowl remembered so well.

The three of them stood silently, none of them daring to speak.

If being in the same room as Wheeljack made Prowl uneasy, being sized up by Soundwave was many times more unnerving. He tried not to show it.

Even though Prowl had thought he was mentally prepared to reacquaint himself with the former de facto second-in-command of the Decepticons, he felt oddly exposed. He had a feeling things were going to get…interesting.

And Prowl hated this kind of interesting.

[cozzzynook]

I'm in a spooky but wholesome mood so I bring a little monster Starbee Au :3

Starscream wasn't sure how long he had well...dead or why he was stuck in this mortal realm and not rotting in the Pits along side his fellow Decepticons who fell in the last battle. All the seeker knew knew now was that he was what the earthlings call a 'ghost' if his non-physical frame gave that away, but it was fun to float between walls and floors of buildings it was like flying with little effort. Only down side no one seem to notice him...all except one yellow bot.

Starscream carefully drifted down the long winding hallways of what was left of the Autobot base still being careful not to accidently float off course towards the hab he was familiar with. He had barley made it half way when he heard a sharp pained yelp, this made Starscream go from lazily floating to dashing through the walls to find what was wrong. The ghostly seeker let out a gasp when he saw the sorry state the hab was in, tables and chairs were flipped upside down while soft plush seats had long deep claw marks running along them while broken glass laid next to them with half finished energon.

"Bee?" The seeker called as he began to search the wreck for the yellow mech. "Bumblebee are you here?"

A soft growl answered Starscream's question making the seeker whip around and come face to face with two bright oddly coloured optics. The ghostly seeker had to squint to see the small but familiar frame in the dim lights as it slowly crept closer still softly growling.

"Bee, there you are!" Starscream let out a sigh "I was worried someone had tried to assassinate you...but it seems you threw a little temper tantrum instead"

"St-ar?" A crackled and strained voice spoke as Bumblebee slowly crept out of the shadows and clump of furniture. "I-is it...you?"

Starscream's smile was quickly whipped off his face when he finally saw of what became of the yellow mech. Long tendrils with sharp pointed edges dragged behind Bee while long talons and fangs glimmered in the soft lighting. All clear signs of one thing that all Cybertaions feared...a sparkeater.

"Oh...my little bug. How long have you been hiding something like that away?" Being thankful for being a ghost for once meant he didn't have to worry about being eaten or getting sick. Slowly and carefully he kneeled in front of Bumblebee trying to look the shorter bot in the optic.

"It sta-rted a few weeks ago...I didn't wa-nt anyone to worry" Bumblebee shyly looked down at his pedes finding it rather difficult to look at the seeker. "I was hop-ing...to wait it out. I still have some sense of self" His voice cracked as his voice box strained to make glyphs.

"Then let me stay here and wait with you my little bug" Starscream smiled as he sat down as close as he could without passing right through Bumblebee. "I have all eternity now after all"

A soft purr escaped the smaller mech as he huddled closer to the seeker. Bee then slowly wrapped the tendrils around himself as a little make shift blanket before gazing back up at Starscream. "Thank you..."

The seekers wings fluttered as small light pink blush filled Starscreams face. "Uh y-you're welcome little bug" This was going to be a long night.

Bee 🥺🥺🥺 how did he become a sparkeater?

[lunarbreaksblog]

Autobots (PRIME) x sparkeater!reader

Optimus prime

When Ratchet showed him the Video of you with your back face to him, huddled over a Vehicon with light luminous blood seeping while crunching noises were heard.

He felt numb. You had apart of the team for a while. So how long had you been a sparkeater?

He would protect his family, you not allowed anywhere near the base.

Ratchet

Your blood was wrong— all wrong. That should told him something but you were too sweet for him, always helping.

So it was surprise when he caught you eating a Vehicon. He felt his tanks purge and his blood drop.

Your back was facing him as he heard you crunch on the poor bot.

He runs— bridges away and tells the team, who doesn't believe until he show you gorging yourself on your feast.

They immediately try to hunt you down

Bumblebee

You were as young as he was! Finally a younger bot like him. He loved racing with you, loved talking to you. He loved everything that had to do with you.

But once Ratchet showed what you did. He feels his spark just shatter.

He loved you but did he really think you loved him?

No, you did. He was sure of it.

He sulks for a bit, not agreeing with Bulkhead or Arcee to go hunt you down. However, even Optimus saw you as threat.

Bulkhead

He didn't really know what to do. He just felt betrayed. He had something in common with you.

You had been a wrecker.

But you went missing a long time ago, it was hopeful chance that you popped up on earth— he knew now that you died back in his memories

This wasn't you.

Miko shouldn't have met you. You ruined them with your fake tales.

Arcee

She's angry that she's sad, you felt like family but to see you consume the spark of another made her so cold.

She felt like she knew you.

Guess she didn't

But her memory of you will stay alive but the thing that wore your skin was dead to her.

[moonlight-tmd]

I was just reading though some of your older stuff and saw mention of a Sparkeater Bee au, though I can't find much on it. I was wondering if you had anymore thoughts for it and which ship you would go with for it. Personally I could see it leaning more ShockBee thank anything with Long Arm finding out about Bee needing extra rations in Bootcamp and helping sneak him what he needs. After he comes Long Arm Prime, he also tweaks their supplies to make sure there's extra energon in there for Bee to have without anyone raising an eyebrow at why the crew on Earth would need so much.

When the Elite Guard goes to Earth, he makes sure to go with them to he can see Bee and check in on him to make sure he's ok. And maybe if Bee ever can't hold himself back anymore and has to start eating sparks, Shockwave can add little... canisters addressed to Bee in the supply shipments. After all, no one would really notice if a few of the bots who are on the cybertronian equivalent of death row decided to "take the process into their own hands". Not like anyone would look for their missing spark, nor would there be any guilt attached to eating someone so evil. Right?

You know, I have yet to have an AU that is purely ShockBee.

This is a perfect opportunity you gave me right here, anon.

Yeah, I never wrote anything about it other that this brief mention because I found Cyberbeast AU to be more interesting. So-

Sparkeater!Bumblebee AU

-in my AU, Sparkeaters are a product of a disease of Cybertron origin. It forces the host to become cannibalistic and lose their sanity and conscious to the point of being hungry ravaging monsters. Each Sparkeater still has a resemblance to their original form as Cybertronian, but more monstrous, famished-looking and with 4 bladed tentacles coming out the back.

There is a treatment to delay the disease, but it isn't enough to stop or fight against it. Cybertron Law and Medical Code was altered to kill anyone who had the disease to prevent endangering the population. Of course, there is no purges like when the disease had its "gold era" but anyone who has the disease detected will be personally hunted down by Elite Guard.

There are few who managed to stay hidden all this time, trained themselves to keep the darkness under control and eat whatever sated their hunger; be it energon, live-scrap or Sparks of those who wouldn't be missed, probably. Bumblebee was one of them. From a young age he was exposed to any barceria since he was living on the streets, but he got the disease shortly before becoming a youngling. He met another stray bot who also had the disease and that's how he learned what he will be now and how to keep it on a leash. Although unlike the rest he never taken anyone's Spark. He refused to hurt anyone like this if there was an alternative. He was a pretty good thief so he managed to stick with energon.

Then he went to boot camp, he hoped that once he will be in Elite Guard then he'll be able to get more ways to sate himself, but life had different path for him...

He met Longarm and Bulkhead, Bee was quite sceptical to the idea of being around other normal bots, he was very aware of what could happen if one got too close and he got hungry. Nonetheless, Bulkhead stuck with him and made him his friend. Longarm on the other hand, he wasn't as pressing to be his friend, the two sorta drifted together until there was friendship. Longarm noticed an odd demeanor Bee had but brushed it off because Bulkhead wasn't any more normal.

One time when they were supposed to hang out, Longarm came into Bee's private room and found the medical documents laying on his berth- he immediately knew they were forged, he himself was using forged papers. When Bee came in after taking a shower and saw Longarm browsing his important stuff he was on high alert, but Longarm seemed to believe the fake medical case and offered to help him out. Of course, Bee took it, he couldn't risk not being able to contain himself.

So Longarm/Shockwave steals significant amount of energon from the supply closet and gives it to Bee. He's not stupid, he's seen bot with similar conditions and connected the dots- he knew the risk of having an afflicted nearby but he also knew of ways to keep the disease at bay... He's grown to like the little bot and wouldn't want him to die because of it. This however didn't last too long- the officers were investigating the cadets about the stolen supplies and found them inside Bee's suite. The scout was suspended but found himself taking shelter in Bulkhead's room. So Longarm kept bringing him the extra fuel, altho this time he was being careful when stealing it.

Bulkhead got him into repair crew then while Longarm stayed to graduate. Bee was nervous to learn he was on the same ship with a medic who could uncover the danger and ruin him. He was lucky enough that Ratchet also believed the professionally forged documents and assigned him the extra rations. He thanked Primus when Ratchet didn't double check the scans he made when Bee got injured. Longarm stayed in contact with Bee, making sure he has everything he needs for his 'defect'.

When he heard about the repair crew going missing he feared Bee has done something- he didn't want this to be true... In the meantime said crew crashed on earth and Bee resorted to eating old car parts and oil from the local scrap yards. It almost tasted like a mech- not that he'd know, it just felt like it would. He... chose not to think about it and just kept himself busy while the energon supply shrank with every month.

While being on earth, Sari got to learn about Sparkeaters when she was talking some stories and stuff about the human version- vampires. She even got to hear the little rhyme that was told to sparklings sometimes so they'll listen to their parents. (this neat post i found) Bee found himself uneasy hearing what others think of them, he felt his own spark stop when he instictively commented that they can't be that bad and that they're still a mech inside. Thankfully the others didn't catch onto it and just kept wondering about Sparkeaters and if there's an actual way to either get rid of them or help them.

Then Decepticons came around. In the short interactions with Blitzwing he suspected he might also have the disease... but the longer the banters between them went Bee realized he's just a weird cannibal and not much more.

In any other circumstances Bee would've hated it but right now he was glad Sentinel tracked down the evil bunch and found them also. Energon was once again flowing... and that wasn't the only good thing.

Longarm spend nearly all his free time searching for Bee or any signs of his whereabouts. He knew the last signal of Decepticons was send just before the encounter of the crew Bee was in so hearing that they've tracked the same signal somewhere further in the galaxy made him eager to go and check for himself- not even if his actual secret-allies are ok, just if Bee's there.

Sure enough, the autobot Blurr he's been paired up with for the mission send him a back-up signal while he was investigating something in the alley- there was Bee, being seized up by Blurr, Long didn't listened the reason for arrest, he only ran towards the mini and hugged him, He couldn't have been happier.

Bee was also very happy, he couldn't get enough of Long's company- more so when he said he's been looking for him all this time. It was very sweet...

They stayed together on earth for a while, Longarm visited often and called him all the time when Elite Guard left earth's atmoshere.

Eventually someone pointed out how much Bee and Long hang out and hinted at there being more than a friendship. Bee denied... Longarm was kind and he did everything to make sure Bee is okay, he hated to admit but he did like Longarm a lot, more than just a friend even, but he couldn't risk hurting him if he knew what he was.

He tried his best to ignore the little gestures, the lingering touches and words with deeper meaning Longarm said when he was feeling vulnerable. He tried to resist, he wasn't meant to have a good life... Yet, Longarm seemed to disagree. He went out of his way to spend as much time with Bee as possible, brought him gifts and any supplies needed without question.

When Longarm took him out on a lone drive around the city... Bee was scared, he knew it shouldn't happen. But when Longarm had them sit on a meadow by the lake and started speaking about how much he cares about Bee, he couldn't muster all the strength he had to turn him away. Bee kept avoiding the question and bringing up all the reasons he couldn't date him- mostly his 'defect'. He froze when Longarm admitted to knowing what he was, he almost couldn't believe when he said he loves him and he'll do anything to help him. And he meant anything.

Bee gave up, there was no point in denying it any longer. Bound to break or not, Bee was gonna be happy for as long as he could with Longarm. So were the others when they found out about the new-formed couple.

For the relationship itself; Both Longarm and Bee know they can't truly be together- sparkbonding or even interfacing is a high risk of contracting the disease. They still find other means to make it work.

I don't think Bee would be so desperate to eat Sparks at any point as long as he has enough energon... but i suppose after the space barnacles incident before the crew was found he wasn't doing good and was forced to stuff himself with as much scrap as possible to shut the internal dread and hunger. The incident after Sari accidentally blasted and nearly killed him left a huge pit in his tank that he couldn't bring to satisfaction... He never had such bad injuries that would require so much sustenance to ease. At that point he couldn't let Longarm near- but Longarm promised, and promises are to be kept.~ The next time he visited he brought a package for Bee to open in private. They both sat in his room, doors and windows locked tight, curtains pulled. Inside was a medical transportation jar with a still-live Spark. At first Bee was scared of what Longarm has done, Longarm explained he gotten it from the "death row criminals" and Bee didn't have to worry... Which he couldn't really do at this point, the hunger rose with each second he stared at the unprotected Spark...

Those who learned to control the disease could make it hasten on command, allowing them to utilize the Sparkeater form(or certain features) while still being themselves. Getting back to normal was a bit more challanging than turning tho... Normally when Bee had to go wild he'd stuff his tank with any vehicle he found on the way until he was good... Now that he was lavished with a Spark containing so much energy and minerals to satisfy him, it was no trouble keeping it down. He almost regretted not doing this sooner. After that the hunger was not an issue- the Spark took a good while to fully digest in his tank... The biggest issue in that time was avoiding Ratchet and his scanner. He was relieved when he felt the other Spark finally give out in him and Ratchet forced him to go take the overdue system scan.

Geez that is long. I blame you for making me wanna write about it more now. Thank you for the ask.

[yes-i-write-fanfiction]

Okay, I haven’t been here in about a year and a half but I do remember that you like Transformers so I’m going to dump this idea here.

Okay, do you know what would be either angsty or crackish? Is it Optimus was a spaekeater. NOT turned into one but like had always been one.

Don’t remember who but someone had the brilliant idea that a sparkeater ate Orions spark but due to unavoidable fate had to get become Optimus instead. (Now that I think about that it’s kind of angsty)

Like that except it was a total accident. Sparkeater that wasn’t supposed to touch the shiny but it looked so delicious. Like telling a cat no. Well too bad, that shiny has the literal wisdom of the primes before it. Now you have to consider the ethics of eating prey or consider how vegetarianism works when your only source of food is literally the life source of other beings. It’s too much for a literal baby eldritch horror from the deepest pits of nightmares incarnate.

Minor hc : Not to mention how Sparkeaters only feel like people (have a cybertronian EM field) when they’re digesting sparks so the more sparks they have the more it’s like being in a crowded room with only one figure there.

Like everybody knows something is up with Optimus but think it’s only the otherworldly energy signature the Matrix has.

But my favorite love is cultural differences, so like maybe Sparkeaters go off a strength system so the strongest/smartest one gets the most sparks so has the most power. So the whole concept of a government or actual responsibility beyond child rearing is a completely foreign idea. Baby Bumblebee is his only comfort in this world, and his value only increases from cute pet to my only child, most beloved by all.

No idea how to work Optimus’s relationship with Megatron beyond weird misunderstandings. Like on one hand, every bot understands Megatrons and his stance against the council-backed Autobots. Meanwhile Sparkeater is like ‘oh, he give me the head of that annoying spark-prey-politician? is this friendship-court or mate-courting? Next time meet the greenspark-digger-leader will give friendly bite’ and like nearly chomps his hand off.

This reminds me of those alien has to live amongst humans and cannot give away alienness lest unimaginable torture are inflicted! Except it’s more like two raccoons (Sparkeater and Matrix) in a trench coat trying to save Cybertron as they know it. Which is not very well as one literally lives in the gutter and the other is some overly pretentious temple or something.

The analogy you gave off two raccoons in a trench coat made me cackle like a madwoman. I like this AU, it's fun and interesting with a lot of potential for angst.

Sparkeater Bumblebee

Yeah I forgot what a sparkeater looks like so I was like "Fuck it, base it on the front facing cave goat and a dragon"

I don't know what I was doing

Would you write hc's for how Optimus, Hound, Bee, crosshairs and wheelie would react to seeing or encountering a sparkeater?

If you don't already know what they are, heres a link. 😊

Optimus:

At first, he suggests his Autobots stay hidden, and he would go take care of it. He wants to keep them safe. But Bumblebee would not let him go alone, so he takes one of his Autobots with him as they tried to hunt the sparkeater.

He thinks it may be a good idea to try and trap it. But the other option is to just shoot on sight. He wants to deal with it as quickly as possible so none of his bots or human friends get hurt.

Hound:

A sparkeater is a horrible, dangerous thing, and it can be terrifying for some. But Hound isn't scared. He's got an abundance of weapons and ammo, the sparkeater won't stand a chance against him.

He will stick beside his teammates to protect them, but he suggests they go hunt for it. He doesn't want to sit and wait for it to go to them. He wants to fill it with bullets and end its miserable existence. He has no doubt that he could easily take care of it.

Bumblebee:

He's seen a lot of horror films, so tries to take charge, knowing what to do. He doesn't let anyone go alone, no dark corridors or creepy dark rooms. He makes sure all the bots are armed and prepped for any event.

He's a little scared, he won't lie. But he also feels prepared and feels like he could take it on. Thanks to human media.

Crosshairs:

As much as he would love to have the title of sparkeater killer, and be able to brag about it. He also doesn't want to die.

When Hound offers to go search for it, Crosshairs happily pushes Hound ahead of him. Better Hound than him. However, he ends up going with Hound anyway, two against one are better odds.

Wheelie:

He's terrified. He wants to abandon the area and run far away. But he won't go alone.

He sticks next to a big bot, getting them to carry him around most of the time. He'd rather risk being with them, than being on the run alone.
