TF1 Maxima and Rigel

SFW, Platonic, Familial, ANGST, Mention of injury, Character death, Cybertronian reader

TF1

Orion and D-16 knew that Rigel could be unpredictable and random at times.

It showed in some of the shared antics they did.

A chaotic nature they shared with Orion.

But this… this defiantly took the 1st place prize of most random and out of the blue things they have done.

D-16 and Orion are staring at Rigel. Orion: “Rigel, buddy, what you got there?” Rigel is sitting down with a sparkling nibbling on their servo while their other servo had a couple energon cubes. Rigel: “I won a bet with Jazz and I got these cubes—” D-16: “The sparkling! Where did you get the sparkling!?” Rigel: “Oh! Maxima’s been around the mines, I just decided to take her home this time.” D-16: “You named her?!” Rigel: “Yeah, what you want me to call her ‘Buddy’?” Orion: “That’s not—do you even know how to take care of a sparkling?” Rigel: “Do you?” Orion and D-16 sigh. Rigel smiles slyly and passes Maxima to Orion. Orion: “Woah! Rigel!” Maxima looks at him for a minute before she starts giggling and pats his face plate. D-16 shot Rigel a accusing look. D-16: “You had this planned, didn’t you?” Rigel: “I have no idea what you’re talking about. Now how about Uncle D gets a turn at holding Maxi!” D-16: “Don’t you—Orion!” D-16 quickly readjusts his hold on the giggling sparkling. She snuggles close to his chassis. D-16: “…Maybe this can work.” Rigel and Orion fist bump.

Even though Rigel was the one who found Maxima, they aren’t their parent.

At least the main parent.

They like to affectionately refer the trio as co-parents to little Maxima.

Though it’s clear to them and D-16 that Orion is the main parent, much to their dismay.

The two just seemed to click better than the others.

But they didn’t mind it too much.

With Orion being the main parent, D-16 made sure to at least drill in some common sense into the sparkling.

Then there was Rigel, instilling all their protective nature and chaotic nature into their niece.

Orion is getting back from his shift at the same time D-16 was. D-16: “Pax? What are you doing here?” Orion: “Getting back from work? What are you doing here? I thought you were watching Maxima?” D-16: “I thought you were!” Both pause for a second. Orion: “…Where’s Rigel?” Meanwhile up in Iacon… Maxima is on sparkling sling on Rigel’s chassis scaling a tall building. Maxima: “How much further Rigel?” Rigel finally stands on the ledge of the building. Rigel: “Here we are! Now, are you ready for some diving lessons Maxi?” Maxima shifts the makeshift goggles on her optics and gives them a thumbs up.

As Maxima grew older, she began to work with the others in the mines.

Rigel made sure that Maxima made a good impression on Elita One, something that surprised Orion and D-16.

Not that they were complaining.

It is also around this time that Rigel’s protective streak for Maxima increases.

They hated their niece having to work in the tighter tunnels of the mines, but given she was smaller, it was now part of the job.

Orion often teased his younger sibling for suddenly becoming overprotective, which Rigel would either shoot back and recall all his instances he went ‘Papa bear mode’ or just kicked him in the shin.

D-16 did tease too but not the way Orion did.

More of a good nature tease.

When Orion mentioned them participating in the Iacon 500, Rigel and D-16 immediately shot that idea down.

It just wasn’t realistic for them being cogless miners.

Rigel made sure to keep an extra close optic on their niece on the day of the race.

Maxima was becoming quite good at sneaking around, but Rigel was the master and always caught her in the act.

Both of them found seats in the arena.

Rigel was getting worried when they couldn’t find Orion or D-16 anywhere in the crowd.

They let out an involuntary yelp once they saw the two mech fall into the race.

The shock was quickly replaced by excitement as the two cheered hard for them.

Both winced when Orion and D-16 did not make it to the finish line.

Rigel noticed more guards coming around and opted to take Maxima back into the mines.

… Not before they were sent down to waste management to give Elita some crates.

Cue the three of them entering the train, finding Orion, D-16 and B127.

Everyone stopped fighting and running as soon as they saw the surface.

Maxima hugged both D-16 and Orion’s arms staring out in wonder.

Rigel slung both their arms around the mechs.

This was nice.

D-16: “Is it just me or is that getting closer…”   The group stares at the incoming mountain. Rigel: “NOPE!” They grab Maxima and follow B-127 in running away. B-127: “Hi! I’m B-127!” Rigel: “Rigel! And this is Maxima! Say high Maxi!” Maxima waves hello with a wide smile.

Rigel is the first to get launched off the train as the others follow.

It took D-16 and Orion to help get them unstuck from the ground.

Now on the way to find the Matrix.

Maxima and B-127 instantly clicked, being similar ages definitely helped.

Rigel also indulged in the yellow bots chatter.

Even offering him a ride on their shoulders when he was falling behind.

Finding the fallen Primes.

Rigel stayed by B-127 and Maxima’s sides holding onto their servos tightly.

The Prime’s didn’t deserve this…

Meeting Alpha Trion.

Finding out what happened to the Primes and Sentinel’s betrayal.

Rigel was spark broken at the news.

Maxima was seething alongside D-16.

It only increased once Alpha Trion told them that Sentinel had taken their cogs before they came online.

The older Prime gives them all cogs.

Maxima’s transformation made her the biggest bot in the group.

…And somehow Rigel only grew by a couple of inches…

Rigel was the first to try to transform going down the hill.

Rigel: “Hey I think I got it! AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! CAN’T SEE! CAN’T SEE!” Their helm had tucked into their chassis. Maxima started jogging by their side. Maxima: “Hang on! I think I—PRIMUS BELOW! WHO TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS!?” Maxima’s helm was also tucked into her frame. Orion: “What—MY HEAD! WHERE’S MY HEAD!” Orion’s helm was shoved into his frame. Elita: “So having one brain cell is a family thing!?” Orion, Rigel, and Maxima: “Elita!” D-16: “Definitely!”

They all make it to the bottom of the hill and witness D-16 become a bit trigger happy and change in personality.

Maxima simply cheers him on and tries to climb on his back but is quickly reminded of her new height.

So, the youngling just hugged her uncle.

Rigel shares a worried look with Orion.

Something was up with their brother figure.

Hopefully it will be solved soon.

Timeskip to the High Guard…

B-127, Maxima and Rigel are geeking out on recognizing the members of the guard.

Rigel gets a bad feeling when they see D-16 start and provoke Starscream.

They yelp as the fight starts.

Maxima, while concerned, can’t help but cheer on her uncle.

Rigel quickly makes it to her side and pulls her close to Orion.

All three of them freeze seeing D-16 get a cannon.

All mirroring the same look of concern.

Maxima was the first to scream when the missiles from Arachnid’s army came in.

Rigel tells her to get to safety… which she promptly ignores and goes to help Orion.

They don’t know whether to claw their optics out of their face or feel pride.

…They needed to apologize so much to Orion after all this was over.

B-127, D-16, and Rigel get captured.

Maxima helps Elita locate Orion.

She hugs him tightly, some tears escaping her optics.

Maxima and Orion are both worried about everyone being captured.

The youngling and Elita make sure that the rest of the High Guard listen to Orion.

Meanwhile with Sentinel and the others…

Rigel was staring in fear at D-16 when he stood in front of Sentinel.

They quickly stood up too, hoping more would stand up against this tyrant.

No one did.

Sentinel pushes D-16 to the ground and takes out a laser.   Rigel: “D!” D-16: “Stay back Rigel!” They don’t. SLAM! Rigel head butts Sentinel in the chin and stands protectively over D-16. Sentinel wipes a bit of energon from his lip. Sentinel: “Little bit of fire in you huh?” Rigel just glares at him. Sentinel: “Stand aside miner.” Rigel: “Those years of sucking up to the Quintessons must have made you dumber than you look Sentinel. You are not touching any of my family as long as I function.” Sentinel: “That can be rearranged.” The Prime grabs their throat and tosses them across the room, his sword brandished. D-16 tries to get up, but several guards hold him down. D-16: “Rigel!” Rigel could see their frightened face in the reflection of the sword. They tried to move but they were too slow. SHINK! Rigel howls in pain as the sword pierced through their leg. Sentinel: “Stay here. I need to teach you friend a lesson.” Rigel tried to move but they yelped as the tear leaked energon. They could only stare in horror as Sentinel started brandishing D-16.

Incoming train, driven by a furious Maxima and Orion.

While Orion went for B-127 and D-16, Maxima went over to Rigel.

Her face was written in shock at the buried sword in their pede.

She yanked it out and carefully carried them away.

Orion spots Maxima carrying an injured Rigel. Orion: “Rigel! What happened!” Maxima: “I just found Sentinel’s sword in their pede.” D-16 carefully touches the wound making them flinch. D-16: “Which is why I’m taking care of Sentinel myself!” Orion: “Not right now D! Maxima, I need you and B with me.” Maxima: “But Rigel—” Rigel: “Will be okay.” Maxima: “But—” Rigel gives them a pained smirk. Rigel: “I still got functioning servos, a pede, and a helm. I think I’ll be okay. Go with him Maxi.” Maxima looks hesitant but eventually nods and follows Orion and B out of the tower. Rigel Shakingly stands up next to D-16 who looks a bit worried. D-16: “You need to get out of here Rigel. You’re hurt.” Rigel: “So, are you. Plus, do you think I’m going to leave you to have all the fun?” Rigel flashes their signature smirk as they ready their blaster. Rigel: “Ready to fire on a fake Prime?” D-16: “You have no idea.”

All three of them end up falling off the balcony and into the arena.

Rigel manages to bounce into the panicking crowd outside.

Maxima gets there just in time.

She helps Rigel stand up when they hear the shot.

Both turn around slowly to see Orion dangling from the edge with D-16 holding his servo.

Rigel yells for Orion while Maxima holds them, frozen in place.

Roles reverse when D-16 lets go of Orion.

Rigel really isn’t sure how they managed to hold onto Maxima screaming and kicking her way to the edge, with a bleeding pede.

Both of them witness him tearing Sentinel Prime in half and renaming himself as Megatron.

B-127, Elita Maxima and Rigel ran over to try and get Megatron to stop, but all promptly pushed back at the ascension of Optimus Prime.

The two leaders begin their fight.

Rigel looks over at their niece.

Both of them having the same crazy idea.

Stop the fight.

Save them.

Both ignoring the cries and protests of Elita and B-127.

Maxima started running to Megatron, while Rigel raced/hobbled to Optimus.

Megatron and Optimus are wrestling on the ground trying to redirect the fusion canon’s aim. Megatron: “Let go!” Optimus: “Never!” The canon went off. Then screaming. THUD! Maxima: “RIGEL!” Both mech’s suddenly stop at the name. They looked behind them, frozen. Maxima was on one side of the arena staring at Rigel’s still frame. Maxima: “RIGEL!” She quickly crawled to their side. Rigel’s optics had gone offline, their frame cold… except the smoldering hole in their chassis. Maxima has tears rolling down her optics as she shakingly touches the cool frame. Maxima: “R-ri-rigel…?” Nothing. This finally snaps Optimus out of his traces and runs over to the bots. Optimus kneels down with tears in his optics as he gently takes their limp servo in his. Optimus: “Rigel wake up! Wake up! Please...” Maxima clutched the frame in her arms, burying her face in their neckcables and began sobbing hard. Optimus gently placed a servo on her shoulder before standing up to face Megatron. The mech himself was still frozen in place. He wants to do something! But he can’t… Optimus: “You are… banished from Iacon. Take the High Guard and leave.” Megatron starts walking to the exit. Maxima: “D? D please…” Megatron momentarily glances back at the tear-stained youngling. Her optics begging him not to leave. Megatron: “Its Megatron now.” After taking one last look at Rigel’s frame, he turns his back and takes the High Guard to the surface.

A small funeral was held for Rigel.

Maxima stays stoic for most of it as does Optimus.

But as soon as the pair are behind closed doors, Maxima flings herself to Optimus arms and lets out spark breaking sobs.

Optimus isn’t much better as he holds his daughter closer.

Wishing Rigel was there with them.

Megatron mourns for Rigel in private.

Taking full advantage of his soundproof habsuite to let out the most gut-wrenching sobs he had ever let out.

He now keeps the last picture Rigel ever took in his subspace, close to his chassis.

A picture of Orion, D-16 smiling as Rigel was on D’s shoulders and Maxima was on Orion’s.

(Platonic) TFONE Starscream x Sparkling Reader

"Their beautiful Starscream."

"Look how cute they are!"

"Congratulations sir."

Starscream grins proudly holding his sparkling closer to his chest, the sparkling was nibbling on a small energon cube.

The other seekers smiled and "aw" at the sparkling cute action,

"What will you name them sir?"

Starscream thought for a moment kissing the sparkling's head, lifting them up.

"(Y/n). My sweet little comet."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"(Y/n)? Where are you?"

Starscream voice echos out the large room, turning around to make sure he didn't miss any spots, till he hears giggling from another room.

Walking up to the room the doors slide open to reveal (Y/n), but they were held up by the one and only megatronus.

"Pa!"

(Y/n) yells out their arms lifting up in excitement see their sire. Starscream quickly runs up to the prime, apologizing lifting his arms up to try to reach for his sparkling.

Megatronus lowers himself lower so that Starscream could grab the sparkling. Starscream scolded (Y/n), who just giggles without a care.

Megatronus takes his leave, Starscream looks back to make sure that the prime left, (Y/n) lets out a loud beep, feeling Starscream kiss her cheeks multiple times.

"You gave your sire a spark-attack young one."

(Y/n) lowers her head snuggling closer to Starscream chest, Starscream lets out a huff of defeat of their cuteness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Just bend your knees and jump, the transformation will happen trust me."

(Y/n) looks down from the crate she was on top of, Starscream, Shockwave and Soundwave where standing from a small distance.

"Are you sure sire?"

Starscream smiles to (Y/n),

"Trust me, my comet."

(Y/n) closed her optics, breathing in and letting out a huff before jumping off.

Starscream smiles

"I did it!! I did it!!"

(Y/n) screams out her small jet form flying around, Starscream lets out a hardy laugh joining (Y/n), flying beside her making sure to watch out if she needs any help.

(Y/n) transforms out of her jet form but miss her steps making her lose her footing tripping over, sliding off till she hits something. Looking up to see a bright blue bot.

"Sentinel! Did you see me transform!"

Sentinel gave the smaller bot a smile

"Yes I did! Now where is your?"

(Y/n) stood up before they were about to answer Starscream lands close pulling (Y/n) away from sentinel and behind him.

"Is there a problem?"

Sentinel shook his head pointing behind him,

"The primes wish to speak to the three of you."

Starscream nods looking to Soundwave and shockwaves, then to (Y/n).

"Let's go."

Starscream grabs ahold of (Y/n) servos, (Y/n) smiles up to her sire looking back waving to sentinel.

"Goodbye sentinel!"

Hello, how are you? Can I request a Nightlight application in Transformers One? Nightlight works for Sentinel Prime. In this universe, she sympathizes with the lower classes and is dedicated to trying to convince Sentinel Prime to improve things. Nightlight becomes friends with D-16 Orion Pax Eliata One and Bumblebee?

I definitely want to do a longer version of this later in the future. Or possible a part 2, which ever comes first.

Hope you enjoy!

TF1 Version of Nightlight

SFW, Platonic, Cybertronian reader

TF1

Nightlight considered herself one of the luckier bots in Iacon.

She had a stable job and got to work under most of Sentinel Prime’s direct orders.

Not many bots could say they often talked to the Prime on a daily basis.

He was the bot everyone wanted or wanted to be.

She could only hope the mech that seemed larger than life could get behind her ‘passion project’.

Nightlight straightening her backstruts, puts on her best smile and salutes to the incoming Prime. Nightlight: “Good morning, Sentinel Prime, sir.” Sentinel smiles at the detective. Sentinel: “Nightlight, my friend. How’s my best detective doing today?” Nightlight passing him some data slugs. Nightlight: “The missing archive collection has been found and safely put back in its rightful place, sir. Also the missing bot cases have been solved and filed.” Sentinel: “And the—” Nightlight: “The cargo hold carts are still under repairs and under investigation as we speak.” Sentinel: “Good, good, take the rest of the day off then, you earned it.” Nightlight: “Actually sir, I was wondering if we could talk about the conditions of the miners—” Sentinel puts a servo out motioning her to be quiet. Sentinel: “Nightlight, Nightlight, Nightlight. How many times do we have to go through with this little ‘passion project’ of yours? The miners will get more accommodation when they reach more of the energon goals set. It’s only fair, no?” Nightlight: “But sir, wouldn’t they work better, faster even, if they had better conditions or equipment—” Arachnid suddenly appears on their right. Arachnid: “Sir, it is time to go.” Sentinel gives the detective a ‘sorry’ smile. Sentinel: “Its time for me to leave. Keep up the good work Nightlight!” Nightlight was about to protest when she was cut off by Arachnid staring at her as the pair left the room.

Her project started the day she met a peculiar pair of miners.

She was responding to an alert of an unauthorized miner entering the Archives.

Nightlight watched from afar Darkwing and another guard chasing this one cogless miner bot.

And quite frankly, he was giving the guards a run for their shanix.

She noticed another miner causing a distraction with his cart while the other escaped the guards.

The pair then met up in one of the train stations, probably to go back to work.

It was quite entertaining honestly.

Later, she went back to the Archive’s to see what exactly the miner was looking through.

It surprised her the number of data slugs he had gone through in relation to the Matrix.

One of Cybertron’s biggest mysteries.

She needed more answers.

Eventually, Nightlight got clearance to ‘supervise’ some miners for a shift.

That’s where she met Elita-One

Elita saluting at the taller bot. Elita: “Nightlight ma’am!” Nightlight: “Oh, just Nightlight will do… umm…” Elita still saluting: “Elita-One ma’am—I mean—” Nighlight: “Its all right. Do you mind giving me the tour then?” Elita: “Of course! Follow me!”

While doing the tour, Nightlight was making a mental list of things to improve.

She hadn’t been down in the mines before and already couldn’ imagine working down here for long hours and with rusting equipment.

Out of the corner of her optic, she spotted Darkwing punching two familiar looking miners.

When the tour was down and Elita had to go back to her team, Nightlight slipped into the miner’s medbay.

After scaring some bots, she finally found the two miners.

D-16 and Orion both looked at her in shock and amaze. Orion: “You’re Nightlight!” D-16: “The Nightlight! You solved several cases and foiled several assassinations attempts of several bots, including Sentinel Prime’s!” Nightlight feels a bit flustered by the sudden fan behavior. Nightlight: “Yeah, that’s me. And you two are the sneaky miner’s who snuck into the Archieve’s and got away with it.” Both mech’s suddenly looked frightened. Nightlight: “Relax, I’m not taking you in or punishing you two. It was actually the most entertaining things that happened on my shift in a while.” Orion and D-16’s optics widen. Orion: “You saw all that? But from where? The crowds weren’t that busy and there was no hiding places nearby?” D-16: “Do you have any cloaking technology?” Nightlight: “What? No, and to answer your question, I was simply observing from afar.” Nightlight shows the pair some grappling hooks in her arm plating. Nightlight: “These come in handy when you don’t have a flying alt mode or jetpack nearby.” D-16: “Primus…” Orion: “Wait, wait, if you’re not punishing us, then what are you here for?” Nightlight slips into a grim expression. Nightlight: “I originally came in to ask you about your snooping around for data slugs on the Matrix… instead I just found out today your working conditions and I don’t like it one bit.

Nightlight explained that she would straight to Sentinel himself and talk to him about getting them better working conditions.

 Truthfully D-16 and Orion thought this was a lie… but his was Nightlight they were talking about.

Maybe a little bit of faith would help.

Surely enough the miners started to notice some of the older equipment getting replaced with new ones.

They even had an extra hour of sleep and a bit more rations.

This did not satisfy Nightlight though.

She wanted more.

The detective started taking on bigger assignments in order to get on Sentinel’s personal circle.

She might have better luck in getting the miner’s more things that way.

Soon Nightlight started making her way into the mines without authorization.

Something was up, she could feel it.

Not only did she find out that the improvements had halted, but Sentinel was making more and more trips to the surface.

It was enough bells to set her off.

Especially hearing about 10 more sublevels under waste management.

So, Nightlight did the thing she did best, investigate.

Nightlight enters one of the waste trains cargo carts. Suddenly gets her blaster out hearing yelling behind her. The door opens revealing Orion, D-16, Elita and B-127. The detective looks at them in surprise. Nightlight: “What in Primus’s name is going on! Orion! D! Elita! B!” Elita:”Ma’am! I caught these bots trespassing!” D-16: “Wait, how do you know B?” B-127 waves at the detective. B-127: “Hi!” Nightlight: “He gave me some information on the sublevels under waste management. Now someone explain what—” Elita sprints past her. Elita: “Sorry ma’am! I need to turn this train around!” Orion and the others run after her. Nightlight blinks a bit before joining the chase. Nightlight: “This is what you get for making friends who are younger than you Nightlight… always running off… I swear… I need to listen to Ratchet next time I go out without my long-distance com link…” Nightlight starts climbing the trains railing to reach the others. Nightlight: “The one day I don’t bring my extra long grappling hook… I won’t be surprised if I see Alpha Trion at this point…”

[in1-nutshell]

SINCR YOU WATCHED TRANSFORMERS ONE

Can you do if Maxima was in Transformers one as well? SINCE SHE WOULD STILL BE A CHILD FROM IT (and plus, i wanna see her reaction on one scene particular)

One of the first Buddy's I thought about when I finished watching the movie.

Hope you enjoy!

TF1 Version of Maxima

SFW, Angst, Familial, Cybertronian reader

TF1

Orion found her in one of the carts filled with raw energon.

He thought he was hallucinating from lack of sleep before D-16 also saw the sparkling heading straight for the crusher.

Both mechs hurriedly got the sparkling before the crusher got her.

It was extremely rare to see sparklings this small in Iacon, most bots were created and built in larger sizes, especially those with T-cogs.

D-16 thought it was a good idea to bring the sparkling to the guards or a supervisor.

D-16: “C’mon Pax, let’s see if the guards are in a good mood and—Orion?” Orion was just staring into the sparkling big blue optics. D-16: “Orion?” Orion holds the sparkling close to his chassis. Orion: “D, how about we… you know…” D-16: “Oh no, no, no, no. Orion we can’t take care of a sparkling. You can barely take care of yourself!” Orion looks at his friend, then the sparkling. He passes the sparkling into his servos. D-16 catches the sparkling. D-16: “Hey!” Orion: “I guess your right. We can always go see which guard won’t punch us into oblivion and take the sparkling somewhere… where we’ll never see her again… ever…” D-16 looked a bit conflicted as the sparkling looked at him. With her big blue optics. …No, he had to stay strong… The sparkling gently patted his faceplate, smiled and giggled. D-16: “…You win this round Pax.” Orion: “Good!” Orion goes to grab the sparkling put D-16 reflexively moves out of his reach, surprising them both. D-16 coughs before handing the sparkling back to Orion, looking at the ground embarrassed. Orion just smirks at his friend. Orion: “Looks like we all got attached, huh?” D-16 nudges his shoulder. D-16: “Yeah… guess we did.”

The easiest part was hiding the little thing.

New spread around that a sparkling was in the mines and the miners had sworn an oath not to let the guards know she was there.

At least until she was older to work with the rest of them.

Orion and D-16 where surprised to see how many bots wanted to keep this a secret.

Even Elita-One didn’t want the guards to know about her.

She said it was because the sparkling boosted morale.

This was also the same bot caught cooing at the sparkling in between breaks.

It’s a miracle that none of the guard’s suspect anything.

Jazz looks around the corner. Jazz: “Darkwing’s coming!” Wheeljack: “Hide!” Orion quickly put the sparkling under a crate and sat on it. Darkwing passed by the corridors, looked around before continuing walking. Orion waited a few more seconds before venting out. D-16 quickly pushed him out and goes to lift the crate. Orion: “Ow!” D-16: “No, you don’t get to say that. You literally sat on her!” The sparkling looked up as the miner’s lifted the crate and smiled up at him. D-16 and Orion sighed in relief. Orion turned to Jazz and Wheeljack. Orion: “Thanks guys.” Wheeljack just waved. Jazz: “Anything for mini-Pax, Pax.”

The sparkling was very attached to Orion and D-16.

It’s almost always constant smiles and laughs.

D-16 tries to be the voice of reason for them.

He hopes that it rubs off on the sparkling.

It does… but not the amount he was hoping for because that sparkling might as well have been a mini-Pax.

But it was D-16 that gave the sparkling her name.

D-16 was looking at a list of names. The sparkling sat on a crate while looking at him curiously. D-16: “Let’s find you a name. there is no way I’m calling you mini-Pax any more… Let’s see here… Lithia?” The sparkling shook her helm. D-16: “Hmm… how about Andromeda? Rapidfire? Nova?” The sparkling shook her helm at each name. D-16 sighed. D-16: “…Maxima?” The sparkling perked up. D-16: “Maxima? That’s the name you want?” The sparkling smiled and raised her servos up wanting to get picked up. D-16 smiled and picked up the sparkling. D-16: “Guess its Maxima then huh.” Maxima: “D…” D-16 paused. D-16: “What?” Maxima smiled and giggled. Maxima: “D! D! D!” D-16 laughed out loudly while twirling around with Maxima giggling into his chassis. Orion turned the corner, a bit winded from his run in with Darkwing. Orion: “What’s going on? I hear laughing.” Maxima smile grew even bigger seeing Orion. D-16 passed her into Orion’s arms. D-16: “Found a name for her. Maxima!” The sparkling turned her helm at him and laughed. Orion’s optics widened a bit but smiled. Orion: “Guess the other names didn’t work?” D-16: “Was going to try Ophelia, but it didn’t sound right. Annnddd, guess who said who’s name first? Mine!” Maxima: “D! Pax!” Both mechs stopped. D-16: “She didn’t say Pax when I was here.” Orion just looked at her with love and adoration. Orion: “You did good D, thanks.” D-16 slug an arm around Pax. D-16: “Anytime.”

Orion let that be her name, mainly because he felt like he owed his friend for all the scrap he put him through with trying to find information on the matrix of leadership.

As the years go by, Maxima ends up working as one of the miners.

She happily working with everyone.

The Guards are a bit confused where this bot came from, but they don’t question it.

Orion and D-16 worry a bit for Maxima’s growth, especially since she didn’t have a T-cog like them and being smaller than the average bot in the mines.

Maxima, like Orion, loved to go out of the mines and find adventure.

She has a nasty habit of jumping roof tops and scaling buildings.

Good for sneaking around.

But she does draw a line with some of the sneaking around with Orion.

Maxima loved hanging around with D-16.

He was a stable anchor she latched on when she bit off a bit more than she could intake.

She loves jumping on his back as he ‘reluctantly’ carries her.

Overhears about Orion and D-16 going to the race, that gets shut down by D-16.

She ends up joining some other bots in the crowd when she spots her fathers in the race.

The loudest in cheering for them.

Winces hard when they don’t make it.

Tries to get to the mines again when she spots Darkwing throwing them somewhere and not returning with them.

She goes to investigate.

Maxima: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!” CRASH! THUD! Maxima landed on the hard ground after bouncing off the conveyor belt. She looks up to see a yellow mech, a happy Orion, and a concern D-16. D-16 and Orion: “Maxima!” Both the mechs help her up as she dusts some scrap from her frame. D-16: “Are you hurt?” D-16 raises her arms to look for any injury. Orion takes both of her shoulders and looks at her with D-16’s concern. Orion: “What are you doing down here? Did you really just take the trash shoot down here?” Maxima gets out of the mech’s grip. Maxima: “Of course I did. I saw Darkwing leave without you guys and the only shoot that goes down was the trash shoot.” D-16 pinches the ridge of his nose: “So you decided that it was a smart idea to go inside it?” Maxima: “… In my defense I was left unsupervised.” B-127: “Hi!” Maxima looks over at the yellow mech and waves back. Maxima: “I’m Maxima!” B-127: “I’m B-127! But Some bots call me B.” Maxima and B-127 start chatting up a storm. D-16 and Orion could only understand a handful of the words coming out of the pairs mouths the faster they talked. Orion: “Umm… at least she’s making friends around her age?” D-16: “…I don’t like this…”

Maxima ends up tagging along with the group to find the Matrix of Leadership.

Grabs D-16’s back the entire train ride.

She was not about to get crushed by a crate bigger than her before reaching the Matrix.

Is bouncing on her pedes seeing the surface, excitably hugging Orion and D-16.

D-16 looking at the growing mountains. D-16: “Is that getting bigger?” Orion: “I think it’s getting closer…” Maxima and B-127 immediately take off, the others following. The train start shaking and jumping. Maxima tries grabbing onto the railing, but it slips her grasp. Maxima: “Orion!” Orion immediately let go of D-16 grasp and used his other servo to grab her servo. Orion: “Don’t let go!” Maxima: “What does it look like I’m doing?!”

Orion and D-16 help her up when they wake up.

Now they were following the map to the location of the Matrix.

Maxima is just happy to do something other than mining for once.

Happiness that doesn’t last seeing the Quintesson ship.

Holds on to Elita and D-16’s servos tightly seeing Orion and Bee almost getting caught.

Meeting Alpha Trion and finding out what happened to the other Prime’s...

What Sentinel is doing with the Quintesson’s…

Feels almost as angry as D-16 but does notice the shift and gets worried.

Tries to tell Orion but he brushes it off.

Everyone gets their T-Cog’s.

Orion, D-16, B-127, and Elita-One look over at each other’s new frames. B-127: “This is awesome! Hey Maximaa—AAAHHH! Holy Primus you’re huge!” The bots look over at Maxima and have to do a double take. Maxima, once the shortest member of their little group was now the biggest and tallest one. Probably as big as Sentinel Prime! D-16: “Maxima… you look…” Maxima looked worried. Maxima: “What?” Orion smiles. Orion: “You look good… though you could have been smaller.” Maxima laughs at the comment as she tries and carries D-16 and Orion in her arms. Success! D-16: “Maxima! Put us down!” Maxima smirks and brings them into a tight hug.

Timeskip to the High Guard.

Maxima is fangirling with B-127 when she sees the Guard.

Gets a bad feeling when D-16 tries to leave and fights Starscream.

Yells for D-16 to stop while Orion holds her back as the crowd pushes them back.

Shakes a bit when she sees D-16 new canon, sharing the same concern look on Orion’s face.

Then Arachnid and Sentinel’s Elite Guard show up.

Maxima gets captured along with D-16 and B-127.

In the room with Sentinel, Maxima shares worried looks with B-127 and D-16.

Stares at D-16 when he refuses to kneel to Sentinel.

He goes to hit him, but Maxima also stands up and kicks him in the back of the knee before standing in front of D-16, trying to use her larger frame to shield him from the Prime’s view.

Maxima looks at the Prime with hatred. Sentinel: “Well look who decided to play hero.” Maxima: “You’re not going to hurt them as long as I function Prime.” Sentinel smirks at her. Sentinel: “I can fix that.” D-16’s optics widen as Sentinel suddenly grabbed Maxim’s throat and slammed her to the ground. The Prime punched, kicked and hit the younger bot senselessly. D-16 tried to get up but was held down by some guard bots. D-16: “Stop! Stop it! Do it to me! Leave her out of this! Prime!” Sentinel finally stops and grabs Maxima by the throat again. Sentinel: “You had enough, or are you going to make me dirty my servos more?” Maxima weakly lifts her helm. Briefly glances at D-16 and B-127. She looks back at the Prime with a glare and spits energon on his face. Maxima: “No wonder… the Matrix didn’t choose you… what a joke…” Sentinel gave her an angry look before tossing her to the wall. Maxima heard d-16 yell for her before she blacked out.

In comes Orion.

As Orion helps D-16, he quickly pulls him to the wall where B-127 was trying to get the rubble off Maxima.

Orion cradles his barely conscious kid’s helm.

All she can do is smile painfully.

Thankfully she could walk and transform.

Orion tells her to follow him.

She doesn’t want to.

She wants to stay with D-16.

Something was going to happen.

Orion doesn’t let her as she begrudgingly follows.

She gives one last look at D-16 before following Orion.

She ends up taking a detour when she spots D-16 and Sentinel fighting in the square.

She immediately goes over with Orion.

As much as she hates the Prime, she would be no better than he is if they just terminated him like that.

Justice needed to be served.

Then it happens.

D-16 shoots Orion.

Maxima: “ORION!” Maxima screams as she dives in after him. Her doesn’t reach him as she also ends up falling. Both their descents stop when D-16 ends up grabbing both with separate servos. Maxima looks up. Maxima: “D!” D-16 was struggling to keep both from falling. Maxima looked over at Orion. He was hurt badly. Maxima: “D, help him! Let me go!” Orion and D-16: “What?!” Maxima was close to crying now. Maxima: “Orion needs help D! Please! Let me go! You can’t get both of us up! Save him!” Orion tries to reassure her that he will be okay, but he doesn’t even believe it. Maxima’s energon runs cold when she sees D-16 with red optics. D-16: “I’m done saving you.” Her optics widen as D-16 let go of Orion’s servo. Maxima: “ORION!” She tried to reach out but was swiftly pulled upward and skidded on the surface. The larger bot tried to go back to the ledge but was stopped by a swift kick to the chassis by D-16.

Maxima tried to stop him, but she was too late and witnessed D-16 tear Sentinel in half.

She stared in shock as D-16 pulled out Sentinel’s T-cog and placed in him.

She could only stare as he gave his speech.

As he proclaimed himself as Megatron.

That was when rage took over.

She ran at him trying to stop him with the help from Elita and B-127.

Megatron quickly got rid of the smaller bots but seemed to have a bit of trouble with Maxima.

Something she noticed quickly that he was taller than her once again.

He told her to stay out of his way.

Then came Optimus Prime.

Maxima was dragged back by Elita as she saw the two mech’s fight.

She could only watch the fight go down and watch Megatron get banished with the rest of the high guard.

He didn’t even look back.

Maxima could barely move seeing the new Prime.

She was rooted in her place until Optimus came up to her.

Maxima offered a tight smile as he patted her shoulders.

Optimus was taller than her now…

He opens the Matrix and letting the energon flow once again.

Maxima managed to keep everything composed until she was alone.

She sunk to her knees and sobbed and sobbed.

She had lost her entire family in less than two days.

She had lost D-16 to Megatron, and she had lost Orion Pax to Optimus Prime.

She was alone again…

Maxima didn’t notice someone entering the room and sitting beside her. She looked to see Optimus’s chassis right there. Optimus: “I know with everything I might look different… I feel different. But I’m still the same bot inside. The same bot who helped pick out your name.” Maxima: “… D was the one who found it.” Optimus chuckled somberly. Optimus: “But I got around the ‘mini-Pax’ name.” Maxima laughed a bit at the old name before feeling a pang of hurt. Optimus looked at her concern. Optimus: “Maxima?” Maxima quickly turned to him and buried her face in his neckcables while hugging him tightly and sobbing. Optimus just held her while some tears of his own spilled out. Optimus: “I’m here Maxima… I’m here…” She could feel the Prime’s tears on her helm, but she didn’t care. Right now, it was time to mourn for her fallen family. Megatron at the same time was also in his room sobbing that his family was no more. And that there would be little to no chance to see Maxima, ever again… unless...

So what would be D-16 and Orion Pax's opinion in Transformers One of Nightlight? The only high class member who genuinely cares about them?

I'll answer it short, but this is more of a 'nutshell summary' than question. I'll send a post when those are open.

Nightshade is a bit of a famous bot being in Sentinel's inner circle and solving seemingly impossible cases and foiling evil bots plans.

D-16 is a bit more of a fan of Nightlight's work than Orion is. He has a faded poster of her near his recharging station. Orion finds her moral compass to be admirable.

When she comes to see them face to face and tells them that she genuinely cares, its almost too good to be true. Even more when she eventually gives them her private line to update her on life in the mines.

In a nutshell how does TFOne Nightlight react to the truth about Sentinel?

In a nutshell...

It's Existential Crisis Time!

She has a similar reaction to D-16 believe it or not.

Is disgusted that she worked with a mech that claimed to do good and care for others while doing such acts.

Agrees with D until he mentions murder.

As much as the idea sounds appealing, she knows that's a line someone can cross and never go back.

She'll need to watch the miner in case something happens...
