Some of my new Transformers oc anyone??
No? Just me? Okay QnQ
But ye, like I said, still a bit slow in this fandom as I’m slowly relearning everything. But I’ve found that I’ve taken a…concerning amount of likeliness to the Decepticons. Like- it’s actually turning into a obsession (my friends think I’m crazy please help)
But ye, am I going to ship my newest son with Starscream? Probably tbh I think their dynamic would be funny/cute. Will I draw a lot of it? PROBABLY NOT CONSIDERING JUST HOW MUCH OF A PAIN TRANSFORMERS ANATOMY IS TO DRAW. But I’ll do what I can and probably just write about them and shitpost what I feel like.

Hi I heard you make transformers one oneshot umm I hope you won't mind, this actually a D-16 oneshot " what if his s/o get shoted instead of Orion" or " D - 16 meeting s/o for the first time"
D-16 / MEGATRON X READER
I combined both requests :3
cybertronian!reader SPOILERS FOR TF ONE Puree angst, character death, sadness :(
Tumblr media
You were also a miner, like Orion and D-16. You met in a similar way they did.
You grunted, your limbs aching from pushing around the minecart around all day. It was filled with raw energon rock at this point, so it was a lot heavier. Last night, you hadn’t recharged well, and now you felt like you were running on your last drop of consciousness... Your optics widened when you unexpectedly bumped into something in front of you, sending your minecart toppling over and spilling its contents.
“Oh, I’m so sorry—“ You hissed, watching all the progress of the day come crashing down onto the floor. You pursed your mouth in frustration; this really sucked.
“Hey, hey, it’s alright. Let me help you out, here.” A calm voice came from in front of you, prompting you to avert your optics toward the bot you had bumped into. You paused--hmmm, he was a handsome bot. You eyed his armor for a moment before realizing you were staring.
“Sorry! Uh, I’d appreciate that. I wasn’t looking where I was going.” You muttered, kneeling down to pick up your rocks, him beside you. He let out a small spurt of a gruff chuckle.
“No worries. Hey, I haven’t seen you around here. I’m D-16.” He introduced himself, you still remember the way he smiled at you. You nervously smiled back
“I’m Y/N. I was actually uh...promoted just recently. I’ve never mined energon before. It’s harder than I thought.”
“Oh, well, it gets easier. You get better at it too.” He said, tossing the last bit of rock back into your cart and helping you turn it upright.
“So where were you headed off to?” He asked, walking beside you now.
You took a deep breath. “To the trains? I was told to report to Elita-1 afterward.”
“Psh, really? That’s a coincidence, so am I.” He said lightly, grinning at you. You couldn’t help but chuckle.
It started as a friendship—you, Orion and D-16. You were a little trio. Despite this, Orion always noticed the particular… attention you paid specifically to D. When the three of you joked around, you would always look toward him to watch his reaction—or rather, his smile. You became bashful when he helped you with something, he, in turn, softened up around you. It didn’t take long for Orion to see right through you—meanwhile, D remained completely oblivious!! History says you were just friends
Eventually, you two started dating! You made a sweet couple, with Orion constantly third-wheeling. You can imagine everything you went through after kind of illegally participating in the race, getting thrown to Level 50 as a punishment, and uncovering the location of the Primes.
You watched as your lover changed, and it pained you. You saw his anger slowly shift and shift, first towards his best friend, then at everyone else. You watched as he became feverishly focused on killing Sentinel.
“D, don’t!”
Your yell went silent as you ran in front of sentinel, the blast from D’s cannon hitting you instead of him. The impact blasted through your chest, ripping through armor, your casing, and your wiring—until it struck your spark. This was the turning point when D-16 became.. Megatron. His optics widened, he stopped seeing red for a split second.
He watch as your body fell, the whole world seemed to come to a halt.
“Y/N!” He yelled and dived after your body, momentarily forgetting about his anger. Before you could fall into the depths of Iacon, he caught your arm. He didn’t waste a second as he desperately tried to pull you up. You had no strength left to help yourself--your body hung limp.
“Why! Why did you do that!?” He yelled at you, his voice shaking. As you slipped between consciousness, you realized you’d never heard your lover so emotional. Not like this.
“You can’t go, you can’t, you can’t you can’t—“
“D…”
Your arm started slipping from his digits. “I’m so sorry…you have to.. stop this. Please,” you whispered out, the light in your optics flickering.
Megatron stared at you, partly in disbelief at you and himself. “I’m sorry. I’m going to fix this, I-I promise,” He hissed, his servo desperately holding on. You knew you didn’t have much time left.
“D, please don’t this. I love you. I always will. No matter what I’ll always remember you as my D-16.” You whispered.
“I’m sorry,” he murmured, roaring in anguish as your body slipped from his grip. He watched as you descended into the depths of your planet. You were going to become a part of Cybertron again, just as they all started out as. He’s so sorry.
He’s sorry he’s not the D-16 you knew.
Despite this loss, he still became Megatron. Afterall, he had nothing to lose now.

TRANSFORMERS ONE IS OUT! Unfortunately, I couldn't watch it in theaters because work and money is a bit tight right now. I can't wait for this movie to come out in YouTube Movies to watch it. Since we both know it's obviously gonna have a sad ending, do you mind if I added a bit more sadness in this request? Orion Pax has a younger sibling that he raised named Buddy. Buddy loves both Orion Pax and D-16 as a family. Buddy is willing to bite some ankles if anybody was mean to someone Buddy cares about. Buddy is also tagging along with them in the adventures, much to Orion's dismay and dread. I heard there is gonna be a fight between them at the near ending. Buddy is horrified and scared that those two bots that Buddy considered their family is now fighting each other as enemies. Buddy begs and screams at them to stop, but Optimus and Megatron obviously won't. When Optimus and Megatron shoot each other at the same time, in a moment of panic and terror for their loved ones - Buddy jumps in between them and get hit by both of their shots accidentally that immediately offlined Buddy. They both stopped fighting in shock and grief. Buddy's death was the final straw between Optimus and Megatron's relationship. When Megatron and Optimus went in their separate ways, they both knew the war had begun. Characters: Orion Pax, D-16, Bumblebee, and Elita-one. Please and thank you!
Trying to get the TF1 fics out a bit early so we have something to read.
Hope you enjoy!
Slight mention of spoiler in the movie
Bot Buddy being Orion Pax's younger sibling
SFW, Platonic, Familial, Angst, Character death (you have been warned!), Cybertronian reader
TF1
Buddy was one of the youngest miners in the group.
They did get some special treatment from certain bots but was otherwise expected to act just like everyone else.
One bot in particular took interest in the younger bot.
Orion Pax was his name.
He saw a lot of himself in the younger bot and offered his companionship.
The younger bot quickly latched onto him faster than rust.
It didn’t take long for them to fall into a sibling dynamic.
Soon D-16 was introduced.
D-16: “So let me get this straight. You saw them and decided to be their friend and the next thing you know your siblings?” Orion: “That’s pretty much it.” D-16 shakes his helm in good humor. D-16: “Sometimes I can’t with you.” Buddy swings their arms around him and Orion. Buddy: “Get used to it D! You’re one of us now!” D-16: “As long as you’re not like this rusty bucket its fine.” Orion: “Hey!” Buddy chuckles: “Don’t worry about that D.” 2 weeks later… D-16 watching Buddy trying to drop kick Darkwing after he ‘accidentally’ knocked their energon cart. D-16: “Primus… they’re worse…” Orion pats D-16 on the back. Orion: “Yep… want to help them out?” Both mech’s wince seeing Buddy get punched in the chassis. D-16: “…Fine.”
Buddy always kept their brothers on their pedes with their antics.
Always kept them both on alert.
Buddy loved to randomly jump on their shoulders or try and pick them up.
Despite their antics, Buddy was a good miner and even managed to do something most miners couldn’t do.
Get on Elita-One’s good side.
No one knows what exactly happened between them both for Buddy to get a bit of favoritism.
Elita refuses to elaborate and Buddy likes to see bots squirm for the answer.
Buddy hands Elita a spare jetpack. Elita: “Buddy I already have a jetpack.” Buddy: “We’re going to need it.” Elita raises an optic but ignores it. Later… Elita: “… How did you know—” Buddy: “The jetpacks are old Elita. Its only a matter of time before someone falls from a faulty one.” Elita pats their helm. Elita: “When I get promoted, I might just ask to move you to be my assistant.” Buddy: “No! I don’t want any more work!” Elita: “Too late, already considering it.” Buddy: “Orion tell her to stop being mean!”
Buddy was helping Elita get used to her new role in waste management when they saw who was on the Iacon 500.
They cheered for their brothers with everyone else.
The bot let out a yelp when they saw D-16 get hurt, but quickly smiled seeing Orion try and help him to the finish line.
…Too bad Chromia won the race.
Good news, Buddy was now a couple shanix richer from the betting pool.
 While they were heading to the med bay to go see Orion and D-16, they quickly hid seeing Darkwing picking them up and leading them somewhere.
Orion and D-16 talking to B-127 when something big falls on to the conveyer belt and jumps off it. Buddy dusts themselves from the junk. Buddy turns and waves at the bots. B-127: “New friend!” Orion and D-16: “Buddy!?” They both go over to Buddy looking for any injuries. Buddy: “Hey quit it! I’m not dying!” Orion: “What are you doing here?” Buddy: “Well I was going to the med bay to congratulate you two, but Darkwing got to you first. Then I had to wait a while until the coast was clear and find out where you were sent. It’s kinda fun going through the shoot though.” D-16: “What you did was—” B-127 pushes D-16 out of the way and shakes Buddy’s servo. B-127: “Hi there! I’m B-127, or you can call me B or—” Buddy: “Wait! I can be B and you can be BB!” B-127: “Or maybe we can go by the Double B’s!” B-127 and Buddy start chatting up a storm. Orion: “What just happened?” D-16: “I don’t know but I don’t like it…”
Orion catches Buddy up on the new information on Alpha Trion.
Buddy is ready to go.
Orion and D-16 try to get them to stay, but Buddy ends up joining.
They are having a blast climbing the crates inside the train as Orion tries to get Elita.
Buddy stared long and hard at the landscape when the group reached to the surface.
Is sprinting with B-127 the moment the giant rock formations start getting closer.
Grips Orion and D-16’s servo when they all get tossed out of the train.
Their chatting and B-127’s chatting makes the other older bots consider gagging them for the remainder of the trip.
When reaching the cave of the fallen Prime’s, they gently hold D-16’s servo as they silently mourn for Megatronus Prime.
Hides behind Elita when Alpha Trion comes back online and nearly decks Orion in the face.
Cries a little bit seeing what Sentinel had done to the other Prime’s.
They deserved so much better than that fate.
Absolutely seething with D-16 when the group sees Sentinel giving the Quintesson’s THEIR hard earned energon.
Once everyone gets their T-cog’s, Buddy is the first to try and transform… unfortunately they did not get it the first time.
The group was running down the hill. Buddy’s helm gets tucked into their frame. Buddy: “I CAN’T SEE! I CAN’T SEE!” Orion starts laughing Orion: “HAHAHAHA—AAH WHERE’S MY HEAD?!”
Buddy gets a bad feeling about D-16 when he starts talking to Orion but brushes it off as stress.
They hoped they were right, especially after he admitted to wanting to terminate Sentinel.
Don’t get them wrong, they absolutely hate the bot now, but to go so far as terminate him?
It didn’t seem right.
Was the first one to get tased and wake up.
They get excited the second they see Starscream, Shockwave and Soundwave.
B-127 and Buddy both tell the other’s who the High guard were.
An excitement that quickly turns into frightened when they see D-16 beating up Starscream.
They tried to get to him, but the crowd wouldn’t let them.
Buddy looked over at Orion, both sharing the same look of worry and fear for their brother.
They end up getting captured by Arachnid with B-127 and D-16 after the explosion.
Orion is riddled with guilt the second Elita tells him that Buddy, D-16 and B-127 were captured with some of the high guard.
Thankfully, he and Elita made a plan with the remainder of the guard to help get the others and bring Sentinel to justice.
Back at Iacon…
Buddy was in between D-16 and B-127 on the ground, restrained as Sentinel prattled about having them executed.
They felt their spark stop for a second when D-16 stood up.
Arachnid had to restrain them when Sentinel started branding Megatronus’s face on D-16’s chassis.
Buddy kicks the spider in the back of one of her legs. She lets go. The younger bot then kicks Sentinel in the back of his knee joints before helm butting him. Snetinel staggers back a bit. They stood in front of D-16 with fury in their optics. Buddy: “Touch my brother again and I swear I will send you to Primus myself!” Many of the captured bots looked in surprise at the young bot protecting the fallen miner. B-127: “Buddy just stay down!” D-16 tries to stand up the second he sees Sentinel start to move to them. D-16: “Buddy get out of the way!” Buddy: “Fat chance!” Buddy tries to kick Sentinel again, but this time the Prime grabbed their pede and with a swift movement twisted it. SNAP! Buddy: “AAAAHHH—” WHAM! Sentinel punched Buddy across the face sending them skidding across the floor. D-16: “BUDDY!” He glares at Sentinel. D-16: “Stop! Your fight is with me!” Sentinel: “No, they made it personal when they helm butted me. Its time to make an example.”
Thankfully the train had just crashed into the building.
Orion hops out and helps D-16 and Buddy up.
Orion briefly thinks on punching Sentinel in the face but is quickly drowned by D-16 yelling that he was going to terminate Sentinel.
Buddy tried to tell Orion that something was wrong, but their older brother was gone, off to tell everyone the truth about what Sentinel did.
They did their best in battling the other guards with their bad pede.
The bot screamed in horror when they saw D-16 and Sentinel going off the edge.
It took them a while to get to where the fight was.
They remembered seeing D-16 holding an extremely injured Orion over the edge of a dark hole.
They didn’t remember screaming, but their voice box started glitching when they saw D-16 let go of Orion’s servo.
Elita and B-127 were by their side holding them tightly, afraid they would try and jump off the ledge to get to him.
Buddy remembered looking at D-16 giving his speech.
Their audial winced when he called himself ‘Megatron’.
They had to close their optics for a second, not believing they had seen a newer version of Orion, now calling himself Optimus Prime.
The two former brothers fought.
Megatron and Optimus were on the ground wrestling the former’s fusion cannon. They barely registered the sounds of pedes coming closer. Megatron: “Let go!” Optimus: “Never!” Suddenly the cannon went off. A scream. THUD! Both mech’s look over and see Buddy’s frame laying on the ground…so still. Optimus quickly gets off Megatron and runs to Buddy. Optimus: “Buddy!” Optimus gets to the frame. Buddy’s optics were offline and there was a smoldering hole in the middle of their chassis where their spark was supposed to be. Optimus gently cradles them. Optimus: “Buddy! Buddy please! Buddy… please… don’t…” He gently hugs the limp frame, not caring in that moment if Megatron blasted him. Megatron just stood up and stared. He wanted to scream. To yell. Megatron wanted to hug his little sibling frame and pray to Primus that this was not happening. Optimus gently places the frame down, stands up and looks at Megatron dead in the optics. Optimus: “Take the High Guard and go. You are banished from Iacon.” Megatron starts walking away but stops for a moment to take one last look at Buddy’s still frame before yelling for his troops to follow him.
There was a small funeral held for Buddy.
 Optimus made sure to hold it together in front of the others.
But Elita and B-127 caught him alone, sobbing with a picture of Buddy, Orion, and D-16, smiling, without a care in the world.
The two bots held their leader tightly as he continued to sob.
Megatron mourned for Buddy in private.
It was only right.
He cried in silence holding a picture of him, Buddy, and Orion Pax on their first day of mining.
In the safety of his habsuite, he could cry all he wanted before his Decepticon’s expected him to come out with a rally cry.

I just wanted to say, thank you for showing me where to get the little models, I've been having so much fun putting these guys together the past two days
Tumblr media
Sorry for the quality of the photo
Shockwaves! I found the Blokees models purely by accident, but I love how tiny and posable they are. I ended up moving my Flame Toys Megs to my plant shelf just to make more room for these guys

Gravity Pt 6
IDW Optimus x Reader
• “Why Earth?” Turning away from his work at the soft question, he finds you sitting cross legged nearby watching him with a little frown. You’d been quiet so long, he’s assumed you were resting. At his questioning look, you roll your hand in a vague little gesture. “Why did you all come here? Why Earth?”
• Servos flexing slightly, he leans his forearms against the desk. Almost looming over you, but you don’t lean away. Just arching your eyebrows at him, because it’s been bothering you for a while now. Surely there were other worlds closer to his world, to Cybertron. So why here? “In the archives, there were ancient records of worlds the Primes had visited during the expansion before the war with the Quintessons. Of worlds that had been seeded with energon or interacted with,” he says. The words bringing up more questions than answers. Quintessons? Other Primes? Only energon rings a bell, because that’s the stuff he lives on, but seeded?
• Your expression twists and he knows he should explain it all. That he owes it to you after trapping you with him, but the past has only ever wounded him. Dredging it up always brings up the choices and mistakes he’d made. The things he can’t undo, but wishes he could because something small might have led them all down a different path, a brighter one if he’d only been better, stronger.
• “You came here for the energon,” you hazard. He’s volunteered so little of his past, only letting things slip occasionally. Like that his Autobots are at war, that they’d had to flee their world and that their enemies had followed. The details, though? Like why they’d left Cybertron or even what the war was over? Those things he doesn’t seem ready to talk about so you haven’t pushed.
• “We had no way of knowing about your species. You didn’t exist when this world was seeded as a potential colony.” Reaching out, he crooks a servo not really expecting for you to lay a hand on him and let him gently pull you to your feet. “I wouldn’t have led the Decepticons here if I’d known.” And that’s his guilt to carry from now on. Another failure that might cost so much, another sin weighing on his spark, because this world might not survive their war. You might not.
• “You guys were starving, right?” You ask, hand lingering on his servo as he inclines his head. “You were trying to save who you could, I get that.” It’s not fair or right, but you do understand. From what you can gather from the things he doesn’t want to say, things were pretty desperate. He was desperate. And to be responsible for the survival of your people, what would you have done in his place? You’re pretty sure you wouldn’t be nearly as honorable as he is, that you’d do anything regardless of the cost, because you’re not good like he is.
• Spark warming at your soft words, it’s that you understand that makes him curl his servo about you. How can you not blame him for bringing his war to your home? Not hate him or at least resent him? Your little palm slides against his servo like you’re trying to comfort him, worrying over him. It’s a weight from him that you don’t despise him even though he knows that this and what will follow will be his fault. For now he just wants to feel your hand on him and pretend that this one time, his decisions won’t cost him what little he has right now in this moment. Won’t cost you, because you give him something to look forward to every day. Something beyond duty or responsibility, just enjoying your company, the sound of your voice. The soft touch of a hand reaching out to him to break his loneliness.

I NEED Yandere tfe and tfp Starscream being comforted by their human after his daily beat down with Megatron. You don’t understand I want to kiss him and cuddle him so bad it makes me look STUPID.
It's okay, bestie - he makes me look stupid too. (●'◡'●)

WARNINGS: Yandere behaviour (soft leaning??) Hurt and comfort, mentions of abuse and past abuse. Self deprecating behaviour (Starscream's). Reader is gender neutral and a human.

TFP Starscream
"Starscream!" Your cry of concern makes the seeker whince and his wings drop lower even more than they were already. There were many injuries with already leaking energon on his frame, dents here and there and another nasty marks that gave out how Starscream had to deal with another beating from Megatron.
And Starscream didn't want to let you see him like this - he looked pathetic, weak and he always feared one day you would realize that he wasn't worthy of your love.
Sitting on the metallic floor, the seeker hears the sound of your quick steps getting closer and feels the warmth of your hands touching one of his arms.
"Please, leave me alone." He pleads with his hurt voice, closing his optics and moving his helm away to not see you.
"As hell I am leaving, Starscream - He hurt you again!" You say, clearly angry and worried at the state of your lover. And it's your genuine worry that makes the seeker's spark clench and feel warm, too. It has been so many years since someone has ever been worried over him. You were such an angel, his true saviour, and he feels so disgusting with himself. He feels tainted, disgusting, dirty and someone as precious as you shouldn't be touching anything that is beneath you... like him.
"Starscream... please, look at me." You plead softly, and the seeker can't bring himself to not do what you ask, so he opens his optics and looks down at you. That gentle smile of yours makes him wail from the inside.
"My love, I... I just -" He starts, but quiets himself down when he feels you carefully get on his lap and hug him, your arms and head resting against his chestplate.
Precious you, divine you - someone as celestial as you loving someone like him. Starscream can't help himself but breakdown, allowing himself to cry as he is being 'held' by you. He didn't deserve you, you should only witness a worthy bot, not an injured one like himself. But the mere idea of you being in the arms of another bot made his spark clench and wail.
Even if it meant to have his frame marked and injured, his energon constantly leaking and be all battered and dented - Starscream would endure it to keep you with him. If it meant to have your eyes, attention and love on him, then Starscream will allow the others to humilliate him, to push him around, to bruise his pride and ego. Anything to have your love.

TFE Starscream
"Starscream... it was another nightmare, wasn't it?"
The seeker grumbles, moving his helm so he doesn't let you see the deep frown made on his faceplate and how he is hugging his legs against his chestplate for the sake of controlling his shaking frame.
Of course it was another nightmare and you curse silently to the bot and people whom had hurt your lover for so many years. Starscream has confessed to you that he was no saint or pure bot, he had done his share of pain and evil doing to get himself kicked around and punished. Still, there were many things that gave out that Starscream endured more passing from what he did, used as a punching bag by the leader he followed to then be trapped like a bird inside of a cage and witness his teammates be also pushed around as if they were nothing.
"It doesn't matter." Starscream says.
"It does matter!" You argue back, finally approaching your lover who, without asking or waiting, already extends his servo so you sit on it and carefully brings you closer to his faceplate. You place your hands on his faceplate, making the bot ex-vent and close his optics for a moment, finding comfort in them.
"... They found us - and he found me again. And while they took me back into that cell... he took you away from me. No matter how much I cursed and fought, you simply disappeared." He finally confesses, his voice trembling a little.
You frown, concerned - this wasn't the first time Starscream had a nightmare that was either related to G.H.O.S.T or Megatron. Still, it broke your heart each time to see him this shaken and affected.
"I am not going anywhere without you." You say, hugging his faceplate, and he snuzzles back.
You were right - Starscream wasn't going to let anyone take you away from him. He has finally found a place where he belongs, he has finally found someone who loves him dearly. And he loves you, too - so dearly it makes his spark nearly explode. He would shed energon and behead anyone who tries to separate you from him. He will burn down anything for you.
"... You'll never leave me." He mumbles.
"I won't. Ever." You mumble back, reassuring him.

i wish we got to see the rescue bots interacting with the decepticons and being met with fear. but like the fear is from the decepticons tho
“what do you MEAN they still exist?! what do you MEAN THEY’RE ALL TRIPLE CHANGERS?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEIR THIRD FORMS ARE DINOBOTS?!?!”
also the chaos that comes with the rescue bots having no sense of self preservation/awareness and being blunt as shit. like these guys are probably just as mean if not meaner (heatwave pls chill) than the decepticons. they bitch at each other more than any other team for sure, and they do it to everyone around them too.
knockout keeps getting roasted bc of his vanity. heatwave wont stop doing starscream’s voice perfectly and using it to mock him. chase just told megatron his ship is in terrible condition and does he even take care of it? boulder accidentally implied shockwave’s experiments are ridiculous. blades intentionally implied that right after tho so everyone forgot about boulder. soundwave is losing his shit bc how did he not detect these guys, they flew under his radar, lazerbeak no dont play with the firetruck he's crazy and so is the dog.
after everyone calms down a little the decepticons realize they really like these bots (especially bc starscream hates them) (heatwave please stop doing the voice its really good but still) and they start vibing. megs offers them some cocaine dark energon to snort look at. breakdown lobs with heatwave and loses his shit when he realizes this little guy is way better than him (he learns hw was a champion and loses it even more). blades tries to hang out with dreadwing but that guys really scares him so he ends up following the others around. chase tries to educate the vehicons on their workers rights (they mostly zone out because he kept talking for like three hours). boulder does upgrades on their ship and becomes friends with soundwave and shockwave for being chiller and smarter than the others (hes the wave whisperer or something).
optimus is understandably losing his mind at this new development (no, megatron, you cannot “borrow” the rescue bots for a few days. wha— NO you can’t have SHARED CUSTODY!) (he’s worried about his kids). this is how the other autobots learn about the rescue bots too. bumblebee can’t stand knockout’s constant references to him and blades (“we’re JUST FRIENDS knockout. don’t look at me like that”)

Could you do a reader who has low iron? Platonic pls(characters are up to you) thank you for reading this your blog gives me life
A/N: Thank you, I’m so happy to hear you like my blog. I picked our two medics since this is a medical thing
~Ratchet~
•He’s noticed you’ve been growing more and more pale as the weeks go by, he isn’t even really sure how that’s possible, because you already looked very pale to begin with
•Ratchet is of course worried by this development, and he asks you about it
•You’re like “Nah, I’ve just got low iron”
•Ratchet is a bit confused at first, because to his knowledge, humans are not made of any sort of metal
•You have to explain the whole “iron deficiency” thing to him, and he at least mostly gets what you’re talking about
•He of course starts reading up on the subject, since he wants to make sure he knows if anything alarming starts to occur
•You can get quite lightheaded sometimes, which can be a bit dangerous if you’re sitting on Ratchet’s shoulder, because you might fall from getting too dizzy
•Which is why Ratchet doesn’t really like letting you sit there, because he knows his reflexes aren’t what they used to be
•You try to assure him that it’s okay and that you’ll tell him if you’re feeling too lightheaded and feel like you might fall
•He agrees to let you sit on his shoulder, but only if you let him scan your vitals and whatnot first so he can be sure you’re feeling well
~Knockout~
•Knockout pays a lot of attention to how others look, so when you start looking more pale than usual, he notices pretty quickly
•He asks why that is and you tell him about your iron deficiency problem
•Knockout is pretty ignorant to how humans work, so he doesn’t really get it and asks why you don’t just eat some iron then? “Something like nails should do, right?”
•This makes you basically roar with laughter, because all you can think about is him trying to offer you some iron nails
•When you calm down, you explain to him that no, you can’t just eat something made of iron, and that eating nails would probably kill you
•You tell him you need iron supplements and that you recently ran out and haven’t been able to buy more yet, hence the paleness
•Knockout is, yet again, a bit weirded out by how human bodies work and asks you if there’s anything he can do
•You tell him not to worry about it, but if he could let you sit on his shoulder for a while, that would be nice, because compared to a human he’s much warmer
•Your hands and feet are constantly cold, so if you kick your shoes of and sit on his shoulder with your hands and feet touching him, it feels nice since he’s so warm
•He doesn’t mind, so he lets you warm yourself up as much as you want to
•Knockout asks if this iron deficiency problem has any other effects than cold extremities and paleness 
•You give him quite a lengthy list of what it can cause and he wonders how you humans even function sometimes
•Isn’t it a pain to have to make sure you get all the vitamins and minerals and all that? He only needs energon and that’s that, so easy, but you need like a hundred different things just to survive

You saw my post, you saw how I’m obsessed with Bee there’s literally no way of hiding it
Headcanons with bee with a gn or fem reader (whichever you want) who’s sick? Idk if transformers can get sick or not but uuuuuhhh let’s just pretend!
If this isn’t getting your creative juices flowing up there then no worries! Don’t feel pressured to write it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: B-127/Bee x gn!sick!Reader Rating: SFW Summary: Getting sick isn't a breeze, but with your honeybee beside you it's easy.  A/N: More Bee content because a certain someone is a simp/j Warnings/Tags: Cybertronian reader, sick!reader, brief mentions of vomiting and general stuff involving sickness, happens after the movie, fluff.  Word Count: 850+ words
Tumblr media
Feeling iffy 
🐝 For some reason, you've been feeling off ever since you got a cog
🐝 You worked in lower levels with your conjunx and eating enough energon to be half full was a rarity.  
🐝 Now with Iacon entering a new era, having a cog and having a conjunx 'working for the government' as he put it, you had all the energon you could ever want.
🐝 Of course, you weren't scarfing down on it, but it was definitely an improvement than before you left the mines.
🐝 Your symptoms ranged from overheating, sneezing, to even feeling nauseous to the point you couldn't walk straight. You couldn't even keep down the energon you'd consume in normal amounts. 
🐝 One thing was for sure, something was wrong.
Finding out 
🐝 You figured trying to deal with the issue by yourself before Bee found out would work.
🐝It didn't. 
🐝 Bee could tell something was wrong with you after a few cycles of your symptoms persisting. 
🐝 He cornered you in your shared home and that's when he found out you were sick.
🐝 Of course he was upset that you didn't tell him, but more so upset at the fact you were still trying to do daily tasks (whether that was doing your job or helping Elita-1 and Optimus along with him) despite being sick. 
Taking care of you 
🐝 He had to physically drag you to a med-bay to get checked out
🐝 Turns out your condition wasn't too serious, but you needed to get some rest so your body could get used to the fast transitions of having a cog + surplus of energon. 
🐝 Bee heard 'rest' and ran with it.
🐝 He plucked you up from where you sat and carried you out in his arms while yelling about getting you to bed quick. To say you were as blue as, well, energon was an understatement. 
🐝 Now in your shared berth, Bee has taken over the role of being your nurse. 
🐝 He servo feeds you, refuses to let you lift a single digit, and even began reading berthtime stories or what he and Optimus done for the day to get you to fall asleep faster (we all know how much he loves to talk). 
🐝 He could drone on for a longggg time and when you'd eventually drift off into recharge, he'll kiss your helm before he'd leave to give you the time to rest. Sometimes you held on too tight to his servo and he couldn't leave, comm'ing Optimus that his conjunx refused to let him go was a...interesting conversation.
🐝 As much as you appreciated his efforts, you had to remind him you could still function by yourself. 
🐝 He looked confused.
🐝 You offered to get out of the berth and moved to get up, but Bee coaxed you to lay back. 
🐝 You gave him a look. 
🐝 He returned it with his own smirk and a "...don't you dare." 
🐝 You jumped off of the berth and ran off laughing with Bee yelling behind you who gave chase. 
What he does to comfort you
🐝 When Bee is away and not there to 'tend' to you, it gives you a breather to do what you want, but still the symptoms make it harder to find enjoyment in anything
🐝 You could be enjoying a nice energon cube, hurling it back up again until you're pissed and exhausted. 
🐝 When Bee comes back to seeing you in this state, he'll help you back to the berth and cuddle you for the rest of the time he's free.
🐝 Expect to be sung to and him using cheesy nicknames (my sweetest of sparks, energon of my optic, the light of my spark, andddd you get the picture). 
 
🐝🐝🐝Drabble🐝🐝🐝
Your optics fluttered open and the first thing you noticed was a pede in your face. You blinked back the drowsiness and reeled your helm back. Lifting your gaze you noticed the haphazard position your conjunx was in, sleeping next to  you while the upper half of his frame hung off of the edge of the berth. 
You held back a giggle and used one digit to push the bottom of his pede away. Bee's snoring paused as he abruptly woke up and screamed as he fell off of the berth. 
"Huh?! Wha-?" Bee looked up to see your laughing face peeking from the berth. "Ha ha, you think you're very funny, huh?" 
"Oh, I know I am," You coyly retorted as you watched him rise to stand on his knees. He leaned close and stared into your optics, you raised an optic ridge wondering what he was going to do until he lowered his gaze to your dermas. 
"Ah, ah," You moved your helm to the side as he attempted to swoop in. "Not until I'm better." 
 "I know," Bee pouted as he reached over to cup the side of your face. "Can't blame a mech for trying." 
 
"You're adorable and stupid at the same time." 
"Hey!" 
"You're my adorable and stupid mech." 
"Now that's more like it….wait."

Hi I really love your writing of transformers one and I was wondering if you could make a d-16 and female s /o riding a crowded train with the other miners and d-16 had to lean against her ( but not to close) so that she won't get squish and she gets really flustered afterwards.
Tumblr media
D-16 x Fembot Miner.
Peaceful Ride to another shift.
Another day another shift at mines. Young fembot woke up from her charge, seeing other bots and fembots waking up as well, or walking around to receive their daily energon portion for the day. She could hear Orion Pax and D-16 talking loudly about something, probably some kind of antics that Orion was planning. she sighed and get of her charging port and headed towards the energon hand out, taking in two and keeping other three on her arm for later times, knowing well she won't get a break at all and it will help her to not collapse from exhaustion. The reason she was looking for D-16 is because she really liked him. Out of all the miners he was one of the best, the one with Elita’s group, who was a good leader. It did made Y/N a bit jealous, worried that maybe D-16 had a small crush on leader, but he had to constantly reassure her he did not. They were just co-worker. Sighing heavily as she got her equipment, fembot scanned the area, hoping to spot D-16 in ray of helm, but no luck. Not wanting to get on Darkwing's bad side today, or Elita's, she followed the flow to the train, hopping inside and finding some spot by the windows and getting shoved by other bots and fems as they pulled in. She could not handle the flow and tripped a bit, bumping in to someone.
Sorry – She mattered out quietly and moved a bit to give the bot she bumped in to some more space, well as much as she could in this overcrowded train, only to bump in to them again as the train started moving again – Sorry.
You good, Y/N.
Fembot quickly looked up, smiling a bit as D-16 flashed his soft smile at them. Another bot bumped in to Y/N making her stumble in to D-16 chest, pleasing her hands on his chest to cushion her self from suden fall. Such suden action made her feel hot in face and quickly pulled back, trying to regain what little pride she had. Being cogless miner was basically the lowest part of society and it was already hard to get even a little bit of respect. The train moved on swiftly though Iacon, diving under and she was shoved in to D-16 again, earning a chuckle from him.
Really handsy today huh? – Y/N looked away, blushing quite a lot, even if they were dating. - Hold on a second - , wrapping his servo around the small torso and pulled Y/n closer, lenaing in to her – better?
Y/N felt flustered even more, but at the same time felt safe as she was now safe from constantly bumping in to other bots. It was really nice motion from D-16, leaning back in to touch as the train continued it’s path in to the deeper mines, silently enjoying the ride in safe hands of fellow miner, who she was totally NOT crushing on right now. And totally did not enjoyed the hand on her hip and safety D-16 provided. It was a shirt moment of piece in this hard life and sadly good times don’t last fore ever. As soon as train stopped, you had to get of and go with another group to mine energon.
Try not to get in trouble today, D – She smiled, piking up a drill as they walked out, flashing a soft smile towards the bot she cared about.
You too. Be carful out there – D-16 nodded and had to leave, waiving his hand and started his jat-pack, flying away.
Y/N only sighed dreamily, knowing well that this short moment of peace will be forever engraved in to her memory. Until something clicked for her. His hand was on her hips. Her hips. She could only let out a muffled squawk as she hid her face in drill and hurried to follow her group.
thank you so much for requesting this. sorry if it is small, but i do hope you enjoy it. hope you have a wonderful day/evening where ever you are. :-)

I heard you're up for writing prowl (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)!! Maybe just cute moments of reader and prowl cuddling or baking.... anything thats cute
I did it! I posted something!! Yippee!!!
This is fluffy prowl and reader movie night!!
It’s technically Earthspark Prowl, but I didn’t really do much of a deep dive into his character so it’s just kind of an amalgamation of Prowl’s in my head.
Anyway, enjoy :-)
Movie night. Your favorite time. It just happened to be incredibly difficult to set up with a guy hellbent on working 24/7. Luckily, you knew how to be creative by now. And so when you located a particularly bountiful energon deposit, a plan started to come together.
“Don’t.” He rumbled, “Do not touch that.”
Prowl loomed over you like an angry building, but you knew better than to be worried. The mine you’d “accidentally” found was a treasure trove of glittering, luminescent crystals reminiscent of the fantasy worlds in your dreams. It was beautiful, but not your mission. His, maybe, but not yours.
Being about the size of Prowl’s palm, you had to watch your step everywhere you went, else you somehow impale yourself on an energon shard. Of course, you used this to your advantage.
“Hm? Why? You scared?” You teased, just slightly poking the tip of a particularly sharp one.
“No, I’m concerned. You’re going to get yourself hurt.”
“What’s the problem? I see you drinking this stuff all the time!”
“Yes. Because I run on it, you don’t— it’s not even processed yet! So stop touching it.”
“Oh… I don’t know, it looks pretty delicious…”
“Are you glitched?”
“We’re about to find out!” You just about graze your teeth on a crystal before you are unceremoniously yanked away by a gigantic metal hand.
“Seriously, what in Primus’s name do you think you’re— oh. Oh. You little— don’t give me that, I can see what you’re doing!”
“Oh? And what am I doing exactly?” You grinned. He growled back.
“You have the right to remain silent. We’re going back to base and reporting this to Prime.”
And so you did. And he carried you the entire way back. You didn’t want to stay there for any longer than you had to, as pretty as it was, because tonight was movie night.
Prowl never left a job unfinished when it was right in front of his face. You suspected he would try and execute every procedure ever passed into law when it came to new energon deposits on an alien planet, even if he’d been living there for months now. And he would’ve done it right there. Standing in the equivalent to a cave full of explosives. Like a stubborn idiot.
You also knew that, if he didn’t do it, the rest of the Autobots would. Like they’re supposed to. Because it’s their job. With a mine like that, they’d be occupied for the entire night. How convenient…
When you finally arrived back at headquarters, he was already heading to his office. “Office” being a loose term here, as it was really just a room he put a desk, chair, and datapads in. The most basic, bland, boring kind. That was all he needed.
But not you. And you were going to make sure your plans went through.
“PROOOOOWL!!” You yowled right next to his audial receptor. He’d been doing whatever important report, but you figured it could wait.
“AGH!” He jointed up in his head, “WHAT?!”
“It’s almost time! Movie night!”
“Oh- you little fragging scraplet, can’t you see I’m doing something important?”
“More important than Terminator? Or Robocop?”
“Leagues more important than those sorry excuses for mechanical representation.”
“Oh, fine, I’ll just… put on Spaceballs…” He stopped.
“You wouldn’t.”
“I would. And I’d play it so loud that you could never focus on your work.”
“Don’t—” but you had already slid down his desk, racing to the adjacent room.
“YOU— DO NOT PLAY THAT AWFUL FILM!”
“I can’t hear you over the sounds of LONE STARR and his GOOFY GANG of SILLY characters!”
He could never catch you in time. Not because he wasn’t fast enough, no, he could pick you up in a second, but because you already had the trap set. The room you’d ran into was decked out with the best projector tech you could find. (AKA, the best projector tech you could convince Nightshade to make without turning the movie into a 5D nightmare) You had popcorn, energon candy, a mountain of blankets, and quite the wide array of tasteful films.
When he finally entered your snare, you received the most withering death glare known to mankind. But everything that withers must also bloom, and you could see joy behind his optics. Mostly because they were shining significantly brighter than usual. Hah, and he thinks you can’t tell when he’s hiding his real feelings.
The fairy lights you’d set up glowed a beautiful gold against otherwise dark corners. Your face was just slightly visible, especially with how small it was compared to him, but you knew he could see your beaming smile. He let out an exaggerated ex-vent, doorwings forcefully dropping and optics rolling. Still, once he finally sat down next to you, you saw them perk right back up again.
“We aren’t watching that horrendous mockery of a movie, right?”
“Psh, I don’t even have the DVD anymore. You broke it after flipping the table. Tonight, you get to decide what we watch.”
“Wait, I… but I thought you enjoyed choosing the film.”
“Sure I do. But I want to watch what you want to watch tonight.”
And his optics grew bright again, illuminating your wide selection of 80’s, 90’s, and early 2000’s DVDs. Breakfast Club, Mean Girls, Star Wars, The Godfather, Planet of the Apes… everything you could think of he hadn’t already seen.
So you were a little caught off guard when he chose The Princess Bride. Something he’d seen nearly ten times already.
Oh, sure, he played it off as an excuse to ‘get to know human culture’, but the same could be said for every other movie on the planet. You didn’t argue.
As the night progressed, you were eventually able to get him to pick you up. For a guy who claims to dislike soft things, he sure does put up with a lot of pillows and blankets for you.
You tried not to move when he unconsciously ran a digit down your back. Or when he pet your hair. Or when he adjusted himself to make sure you weren’t about to fall out of his fabric covered palm.
You fell asleep long before the movie ended. You couldn’t possibly know that he denied every call on his comm link, shooed away any bot curious enough to crack open the door, and completely forgot about the report that had been oh so important earlier.
You also couldn’t know that, had he wanted to, he could just turn his audials off if he didn’t want to hear you watch Spaceballs. He could’ve left you at the base when he realized you’d stumbled upon an energon mine. He could’ve made you leave his office when he worked on his reports. But he didn’t. He didn’t because the minuscule weight you provided in his servos was everything he needed.
Work could wait just a little longer. Tonight was movie night.

I’m kinda embarrassed cause I messed up last time so I may go anonymous for a lil bit but I had an idea! Okay transformers=shiny reader who likes shiny things=crow behavior
And what do crows love?! SHINYS! Now to ideas for this Crow!Reader who keeps just trying to collect the transformers(wether reader is like a crow harpy/actually has bird characteristics or is human/crybertronian is up to u😌) ORRRRRRR she keeps bringing them shiny things cause she likes them and is trying to court them but they don’t get it, and reader is super possessive of her shiny things
Characters: Optimus(TFP or Bayverse you can pick!) Wheeljack, Ratchet, and Megatron(I’ve read all of the fics for him and need more:,))
Don't be embarrassed. We all do stupid shit, but if you still want to go anonymous then go ahead. Remmber one of my rules here are no shame. Also, I like this. I will try my best, hope you like it!
TFP X Avian Reader
Background info: The reader is an escaped experiment from MECH. They tried to make a super human but failed, this is for the optimus one.
Also, reader is an avian. I think it fits better. Also, this is what a avian looks like.
Tumblr media
Optimus
Optimus was minding his own business. He was following an energon single intel he came across a massive trap laid out by MECH.
Inside he found reader.
He was amazed since he never seen a human with feathers or wings.
He definitely noticed how they acted like a bird. Meaning reader ruffled up their feather's, and tried to make themselves bigger.
Like an owl.
How an owl dose it
Tumblr media
He talks calmy to it and frees it.
Reader takes this chance to fly away.
Optimus was surprised, worried, and sad that reader flue away but he hopes to find them again
Weeks past and optimus starts to find strange objects right outside of the base
Broken beer peices, rings, cans, even an engergon crystal once.
When he stayed up late to catch the intruder, he finds reader.
She was the one bringing the stuff to the base.
Optimus takes this opportunity to try to help and earn trust from the reader.
It takes a Hella long time.
But reader comes when optimus calls them and will actally bring him things he lost.
Even ancient objects that reader can carry.
Wheeljack
When wheeljack was captured by the decepticons he was brought into Knockouts lab.
(Shockwave wasent in the story yet)
While he hanged there, he noticed movement from the corner of his optic.
When he looks over, he finds reader looking at him curious from her contaner.
Wheeljack was definitely surprised since he knows humans don't look like giant turkeys.
He tries to talk to it, but reader just dose clicks and chirps.
When wheeljack has the ability to knockout...knockout...ya
He takes this chance to grab the container reader is in and runs out of the decepticon warship.
Once back at his jackhammer, he opens the container and reader quickly flies off.
Wheeljack definitely will tell the autobots but pains no mind to reader.
She's free, no longer in danger, no longer his problem.
After a couple of weeks after the incident, wheeljack flies off earth to find more autobots.
That's when he hears wierd noises at the back of the jackhammer.
He goes back to investigate. Preparing since it could be a con.
But he finds reader, making nest out of his tools.
He is surprised but tries to talk to reader.
He is surprised when reader hands him a can.
He learns quickly that shiny is readers favorite thing.
Ratchet
Ratchet was going thru the internet at base, looking for any spotting of weird things.
Like ancient shit.
That's when he came across a article about a moth/bird person.
He knew humans made up alot of woerd story's to scare there kind.
He would have dismissed it, if it wasent for the fact in the picture, this moth/bird thing had a necklace.
An ancient cybertronian artifact.
He looks at all the spotting and narrow it down in a forest in south America.
He takes a portal there, since he thinks he can handle this alone.
After a few hours of searching, he finds the necklace...with a bunch of other shiny stuff in a giant ass nest
He was amazed since all the reasurch he has done on earth life never talked about birds or anytbing making nest this big.
When he reached for the reckless, something swoops down and latches on his face.
Ratchet curses and tries to swat the thing off.
It makes a painful chirp and crashes into the ground.
When he looks at it, he is amazed to find a human...half bird?
He was amazed but seeing it hurt, he curses and helps it
He takes it to base and helps it
Que a stressful few weeks
Reader was a pain in the aft.
But ratchrt somehow earned their trust...also alot of shiny nick-nacks on his keybord.
Megatron
Megatron met reader when he captured a human and gave it to Shockwave.
Ordering him to make a hybrid.
Weeks later, Shockwave presents reader. A half bird and human hybrid.
Megatron wasent happy that it was dangerous but dosent kill it.
Nah, it's his pet.
Soon, reader gets out of the warship and dose there own thing.
Soon returning with shiny stuff they find.
They made a nest up high in the throne room
Megatron was annoyed by that but it dosent interfere with his planes so leaves it alone.
Soon, he noticed shiny things in his berthroom.
Like rings, cans, broken beer bottles, chip bags, anything shiny.
He was confused and went to Soundwave to see the recording who dared went into his berthroom
He finds reader flying in there and setting them in there.
He was confused.
Intel once day, reader returned to the ship with an artifact they just lost to the autobots.
He was amazed and actally impressed for once.
He praised reader and ordered anyone who hurts reader will lose their spark.
Reader was now a higher rank then starscrsam XD
Hope you like it!!!!!!!!!

Hello ummm can I order a uhh wholesome Starscream x human!SO with the SO being into praising him and caring for him? And he of course is drinking it all up because he needs love and reassurance more than he could ever admit
Tumblr media
Yet again my brain decided to go for a full length novel, so I had to pull back and came up with this. Think of this as them before they got together:
“Are you alright?” “Of course I am! Why would you think otherwise?” he snarks, puffing up like a disgruntled cockatiel. You squint and look him up and down with the most “dude, just admit it” expression you can muster. He glares at you for what feels like ages, ridiculous brow plates knitted into a “fucking try me” V. You sigh, take off the welding mask and put down the torch. “I’m worried about you.” Those very same brow plates shoot up to the sky. “Pah! I don’t need your worry!” he scoffs like he isn’t bleeding out in the middle of the woods. “Sure you don’t, but I’ll have you know there’s only so much I can do! We should call Ratchet.” His fist slams to the ground, you stumble but manage to catch yourself before falling face first into the deadly spikes adorning his stiletto. Death by high heel isn’t on your “appropriately ironic deaths” list, but you should add it. If your brain didn’t slosh inside your skull like a snowglobe in the hands of a petulant two year old, you could have sworn the mighty ex-commander of the Decepticons looked apologetic for a split second. “I would rather not deal with the likes of the Autobot medic,” he declares in a slightly softer voice, although not without his usual amount of scorn. “After all, you’re doing just fine,” he croons in a sly, buttering tone. Maybe you could have believed him if he hadn’t been constantly berating you for fucking up the impromptu surgery. You are not a medic, goddammit! Much less well-versed in the art of welding shut a metal alien from a planet light years away! You’re just some car junky with pyromaniac inclinations! But seeing him this way… covered in grime and energon, wings hanging low and servos shaking. You’re glad you didn’t send him to voicemail.
You pat his leg. “Thanks, but if this happens again I’m calling Bulkhead to haul your ass back to base whether you like it or not.” Putting on your welding mask, you keep working. Starscream stays oddly quiet, not even bothering to beep at you indignantly when your torch falls out of line. It’s no Picasso, but the bleeding has stopped. After you step back to give him some space, he tests out his leg, standing up and shifting his weight from side to side. The injured leg strains but does not collapse. “Good?” you ask. “Manageable,” he mumbles in his typical “it kinda sucks but I have to be grateful” way.
Pride fills you up like a single mom downing martinis during happy hour. Although not the best compliment, it’s a Ritz-Carlton coming from him.
“Do you want to go back to base? Or just… hang out here? In the middle of the woods?” He wrinkles his optical ridge at you but doesn’t answer.
“Okay,” you drawl out, taking a seat on possibly the most comfortable rock in Nevada. Years pass by – or so it feels like – waiting for the usually extremely bitchy (thus chatty) bot to break the silence. He does not. “I think I should go,” you sit up and thumb at your car, parked all the way across the woods on the main road, a good hike from where you’re currently at. “Don’t,” he hisses. His expression is almost… forlorn if not for his angry brows. Oh fuck off, the emotionally constipated airplane war criminal can’t ask you to hang out without hurting his pride. Which makes you the responsible adult of the situation compared to the billion year old metal chicken. And by God, you are the least responsible person you know (excluding Starscream).
So you sit your ass back down and lock eyes with said chicken. “Are you sure you don’t want to talk about what happened?” you ask, fully expecting him to shut you down by calling you fleshling and waving your humanity over your head like a shitty “begone” charm.
Instead, he thinks about it, averting his gaze from you and turning it to the vast wilderness beyond the trees. “Vehicons,” he states bitterly. “Either it was a purely coincidental dogfight or… Megatron is after me.” His whole frame shudders, wings sinking as low as they can go.
“I see.” You pause to take a deep breath. “Do you want to tell the Autobots?”
He shakes his helm and loosens a self-deprecating chuckle from his vocalizer. “Like they would listen to me.” You scrunch up your nose. “How about I tell them? Would that be easier for you?” His optics widen for a brief moment before returning to their perpetually conniving state. “I’m not delighted with the option, but it’s preferable considering their propensity for gathering unsolicited information.” The silence returns. “Hey, I know it’s not the best time to bring this up. But you don’t even have to answer, just please hear me out.” He peers at you wordlessly. “You’ve been through-” you gesture at dry neon blue energon adorning his frame “-a lot lately. I’m not asking you to talk about your feelings or anything like that, but if you ever need someone to just… be around, I’m here.” His expression hasn’t shifted one bit. It’s completely unreadable. You continue on with gritted teeth. “Personally, I’ve never defected from an extremely violent faction and been hunted down through the sky, but I find it’s easier to suffer around friends and family. They help shoulder the pain.”
He arches a metal brow. “Are you implying we’re friends?” “I mean-” you stammer, “I definitely consider you a friend. If you don’t, that’s fine, I’m not forcing you or anything. To each their own. But that’s beside the point-” A lengthy chuckle cuts you off. “Does a friend answer their comm in the middle of the night cycle and perform surgery with sub-optimal tools?” You’re not sure if he’s insulting you or trying to make a meaningful point. Maybe both. “If so,” he continues, lips quirking into an intimidating but somehow genuine smile, “we are friends.” Your brain flatlines. “Oh,” you whisper. “OH,” it hits you like an F-15 Fighting Falcon at full speed. “I… okay. So, um, if you want to hang out and stuff, I can stick around until five o’clock. Then I’ll have to leave and get ready for work.”
“Good enough,” he scoffs good-naturedly, having returned to his bitchy old self with slightly less bitchiness. But the smile he doesn’t bother hiding betrays something deeper. Starscream is your friend. Starscream called himself your friend. Holy shit, you think you’re going to have an aneurysm.

HIHIHI!!! I’ve been looking for D-16/Megatron fics for like a while now, (watched it on early release) and have been SUFFERING cuz there’s nothing out for him.. 😭 But then I came onto tumblr and found ur posts!!! They’ve been such HUGE comfort despite both being angst.. LOL
umum onto my ask… I was hoping to ask for a D-16/Megatron fanfic with him having an immensely huge soft spot for the reader… Practically listening and obeying their every word like it’s the last he’d hear of them.. In more specifics, I mean like D-16 (beginning) can be quite unfazed by most stuff, just being normal about other mechs and yet almost melts completely to what the reader has to say and pays attention to their every move.. Megatron on the other hand is basically the same too, despite changing and being completely different.. (the reader is basically like his second in command since he trusts them so much and they’re on his side)
D-16 / MEGATRON X READER
haii tysm :3 I tried to make this soo soft, enjoy. Also I wrote this originally while I was half asleep and the spelling was HORRIBLE idk how I was able to translate this
[ cybertronian!reader Fluff mostly, D-16 being a little angel. Orion third wheeling
As D-16, he was always by your side. You met in the mines, of course, and became friends rather quickly. You knew him as a bot who didn’t care much about others—not in a selfish way, but more in a “I’m just here to do my job” kind of way. He followed the rules, focused on the hope that one day, Sentinel would recognize his efforts and free him from the mines...all of them. He dreamed that one day, Sentinel would see their efforts and let them be among the city dwellers. If only he were created with a cog.
It came as a surprise to everyone when you two started dating, no one expected him to be the type, to be honest. In the mines, he always makes sure Orion and you are being safe. But you, specifically? He was borderline overprotective.
Then one day, the mine was caving in, but you needed just a littttle more energon to meet the day’s requirements. You were never one to not complete your daily tasks. You frantically tried to collect all the raw energon nearest to you...while the tunnel began closing in.
“Y/N, what are you doing?! Come on!” His voice strained with panic, his servo gripping your arm.
You hummed in frustration, keeping your optics on the collapsing tunnel behind you, “Hold on, just one more...I need this o-one piece..” You grit your denta as you stretched for one more chunk of rock.
You were out of time. D-16, realizing the danger, wasn’t about to let you risk it. He knew you'd get pissed about it but oh well...without a second thought, he pulled you away by your arm as his jetpack powered on. You yelped as he tossed you over his shoulder, successfully flying you out of there. Just in time actually.
When he finally set you down on your two pedes, you glanced at your cradled servos.
One single rock of raw energon.
You almost pouted.
“Dee.. this is not enough.” You mumbled, letting the rock fall from your servos.
Much to your surprise, D shook his helm.
“Hey, don’t worry about that. Look, you know what’s important?” He placed his servos on your shoulders, looking deep into your optics with such warmth that made your spark flutter “What’s important.. is that you’re okay.” He gently added, planting a small kiss to your helm.
You grinned. You thought he was so sweet, until he gently nudged your arm.
“Be thankful I saved your aft. Darkwing is probably going to give us an extra-long shift tomorrow,” He teased.
You rolled your optics. “Yeah, to make up for all the energon you made me drop.”
He shrugged, grinning. “I’d rather work a few more hours than lose you, sweet spark. I have my priorities.” He murmured, holding you close. You had the sweetest partner, you knew he wasn’t like this with anyone else.
Another thing about D is that he’s so attentive. You can talking about anything and he’ll be there, his optics never leaving your face. Maybe glancing to your lips, but that’s it. He thinks you look so great when you’re passionately talking about something. Whether you were sharing a tip or telling a story, he hung on your every word, asking questions, eager to listen. If you’re a little gremlin like Orión and enjoy sneaking around, he’s right behind you.
Insert the THREE of you--caught, waiting to possibly be yelled at by superiors.
It had all started because you wanted to explore an abandoned building and got busted in the act.
Orion coughs awkwardly. “Soo… how far down do you think they’ll send us?”
You nervously fiddled with D’s digits. “At least three levels lower.” You murmúred.
D was silent, watching your servo interlock with his. The room was quiet until he felt a pair of optics on him. He glanced up to see Orion staring. “What?”
“Oh nothing, nothing. Just watching how you never get upset at Y/N when we get caught but when it’s me, I get the five-minute silent treatment.”
“But it wasn’t Y/N's fault.”
“Yeah, Orion, I’m completely innocent. You're just jealous.” You chimed in, grinning.
“Wh-Innocent?! You insisted on staying, even when we heard guards coming towards us. Right, D??"
D hummed thoughtfully. "I think they’re pretty innocent. Accidents happen.” He shrugged, giving you a sweet grin.
“Oh, Primus…” Orion groaned.
Now let’s move onto Megatron.
He was so, so delighted to hear that you wanted to join his side in the end. You thought he loved and was obsessed with you before? He’s even worse now.
He made you his right-hand, his advisor, his confidant, his fiercest warrior—his everything. Whenever he rallied his army, promising to fix Cybertron his way, he would raise his fist as a symbol of his leadership. And yet, even in that powerful gesture, your servo was grasped in his.
He held your servo up alongside his, he was ecstatic. Sure, you might not be as..mad as he was, but you supported him, even kept him in check when necessary. If you two are the same, well you add onto each others crazy :3 (explodes)

Tfa bot buddy needing a cane to walk being optimus conjux
Buddy has defiantly whacked everyone with their cane at least once.
Hope you enjoy!
Bot Buddy being Optimus's 'Conjunx' using a cane
SFW, Platonic, Angst, Mention of injury, limping, Romance, Cybertronian reader
TFA
Optimus met Buddy through Elita One during their days in the Academy.
The bot held one of the brightest smiles he had ever laid his optics on.
He admired their lively yet practical nature.
Buddy knew how to have fun while knowing how to keep themselves relatively grounded.
Sentinel and Elita were the ones who kept on dropping hint to the Prime that Buddy liked him.
Though he really didn’t see how.
Sentinel: “You really don’t think they like you?” Optimus: “They are a valued friend Sentinel; I’m not going to let some little feelings ruin it.” Elita: “Its not going to get ruined if they like you too.” Optimus: “And how do you know they like me?” Buddy walks into the room. They smile and wave at them. Buddy: “Sentinel! Lita! Optimus!” They walk to Optimus and sling an arm around his shoulder. Buddy: “Did you get a new paintjob? Cause you’re looking immaculate today! Kup should have you renamed to Fineamus Prime.” Optimus: “I don’t think Kup can change my name.” Buddy just smiles at him. Buddy: “You have any time after class? I need some help with frame works and training techniques~.” Optimus, still completely oblivious: “I think I have some time to help with training. What do you need help with? Close range training or shooting range?” Buddy slightly shifts closer to Optimus. Buddy: “I was thinking more on close encounter training Prime.” Optimus ‘clueless’ Prime: “Well that’s a start. I’ll go get the training simulations ready for later.” Sentinel and Elita face palm as Optimus walks off leaving a slightly dejected Buddy. Buddy turns to Elita: “Am I doing this wrong?” Elita: “Don’t worry, he’s just dense.” Sentinel slings both his arms around Buddy and Elita. Sentinel: “Give him a bit of time. He’ll realize soon enough.” That night in Optimus’s habsuite… Optimus suddenly sits up right. Optimus: “THEY WERE FLIRTING WITH ME!?”
Buddy was very confused when they found a flustered and embarrassed Optimus at their habsuite doorstep.
 The feeling was quickly replaced after they decoded the Prime’s confession.
Optimus did not go back to his habsuite that night.
Elita and Sentinel were relieved seeing them both holding servos the next day.
The group didn’t know how Buddy’s smile could get any more blinding.
The pair’s dynamic doesn’t change too much, just adding more affection.
Optimus is still the levelheaded planner while Buddy is the plan executioner and needs to stop getting their servo on caffeinated energon.
Seriously where are they getting that from?
Optimus gets much more flustered and embarrassed whenever Buddy starts flirting or hitting on him.
Yes, they are dating but that still doesn’t mean he is immune!
Sentinel and Elita love watching Optimus, book worm, Prime get all flustered with Buddy leaning in whispering flirty comments into his audials.
They also love seeing Buddy getting Optimus’s energon levels high with the new stunts they pick up on.
…Though it isn’t funny when they are involved…
Optimus turns to Sentinel. Optimus: “Sentinel have you seen Buddy? I was supposed to meet them here and its been 20 minutes already.” Sentinel: “Don’t know, but have you also seen Elita?” TWEEEEET! The mechs turn their helms to the sound of the loud whistle. Up on one of the training towers was Buddy and Elita One. One looked more excited than the other. Elita: “How did I let you talk me into doing this?” Buddy: “Because I’m your best friend and you love me?” Elita: “You already trying to replace your Prime?” Buddy: “Pits no! That’s my piece of shiny metal—” Optimus: “Buddy! Elita! What in the name of Cybertron are you doing up there!” Buddy turns to Elita. Buddy: “You trust me?” Elita: “Umm… yes---AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!” Buddy grabs her waist and jumps off the building. Sentinel and Optimus scramble to get underneath them, all four falling into a pile. Buddy carefully carries Elita out of the pile before slinging a dazed Optimus on their shoulder. Buddy: “Take care of Sentinel for me Lita! I’m taking Oppy!”
Like all good things, it must come to an end.
Sentinel and Elita managed to convince Optimus and Buddy to come with them on a planetary visit.
What surprises most of them is how hesitant Buddy is on going to the planet.
As much as this was an opportunity for a brand new adventure, they respected certain rules that were in place.
Like not visiting restricted organic planets.
They end up joining after Optimus is pressured to come along.
All four of them fall into the inner cave systems on the planet.
Buddy is excited and nervous.
Excited because things are looking interesting.
Nervous because something is definitely wrong about this place, but they can’t say why.
Cue the spider chase.
Sentinel: “Run!”  Buddy slapped a spider leg from their arm. Buddy: “Nah, lets stop and have oil and energon goodies with the organics. WHAT DO YOU THINK WE’RE DOING!?” Optimus: “Buddy please try and stay calm!” Elita: “Panicking is not going to help us!” Buddy: “I’M SORRY MY ‘PANICKING’ IS BOTHERING YOU! I FRAGGING TOLD ALL OF YOU NOT TO COME! BUT NO! YOU GUYS JUST HAD TO—ELITA!” Buddy spots a spider coming too close to their friend. They send a mighty kick to the spider’s face, sending them both into the crumbling wall. Optimus skids to a stop. Optimus: “BUDDY!” Buddy manages to move a bit from the rubble and spider. Buddy: “Optimus! Optimus my leg!” Optimus sees one of their legs mangled, sparking and dripping the same ooze the spider’s dripping. For the first time, Optimus sees fear in their optics. A spider tries to lunge at them, but Sentinel and Elita manage to fend them off. Optimus carefully picks up Buddy and they start running. Buddy cups part of Optimus face. Optimus: “Buddy what are you—” Buddy: “If we survive this, would you consider being my Conjunx Endura?” Optimus nearly tripped but continues running. Optimus: “If we survive this, I WILL be your Conjunx.”
Sentinel manages to get injured as well.
 Optimus makes sure that both of them get to a safer ledge.
Sentinel managing to drag Buddy a bit away from the edge.
Both injured bots see Elita falling into the pit.
Optimus having the trouble of carrying Buddy and dragging Sentinel to safety.
Buddy is crying at the loss of their friend.
But they pulled back to reality as soon as they saw Sentinel punching Optimus.
They shakingly stand up and try to get him off their future Conjunx.
Sentinel, seemingly forgetting about Buddy’s leg, puts all his weight back and fall directly on top on them.
Buddy screamed in pain hearing the sounds of crunching and metal screeching.
Optimus quickly tore Sentinel off Buddy and tried assessing the injury.
Hopefully the medkit in the ship would be enough to patch things up.
Buddy is immediately rushed to the medbay as soon as the ship makes it to Cybertron.
They are told by the doctors that because of the organic goop and extensive injury exposing important lines and wires, it would be practically impossible with the materials at hand to fix the leg.
Even if they tried to replace the entire thing, the joint platings would still have organic goop and continue to corrupt the leg.
The best solution they came up with was to give Buddy a cane and was told to deal with the pain, they would get used to it.
Buddy finds out very quickly that standing with the cane and the pain was hard.
Stifling a cry as they try to walk.
They try walking around before needing to sit down.
One of the medics steps out and helps them back to their habsuite.
Buddy gives him a pained smile.
His name was Ratchet.
Next day in Ultra Magnus’s office… Buddy finally manages to hobble into the room. They do their best to give the big blue mech a smile, it looks painful. Buddy: “You called in sir?” Magnus: “I was recently informed about what happened to Elita One and of Sentinel and Optimus Prime. Buddy looks down ashamed. Magnus: “Normally I would have a punishment carried out… but by the looks of it, you are already suffering enough to last you a lifetime.” Buddy sighs a bit. Buddy: “Sir, if I may, where is Optimus and Sentinel?” Magnus: “Sentinel told me what had happened and is in his habsuite. Optimus on the other servo has been rightfully expelled from the Academy—” Buddy: “What!?” Magnus: “And will be departing with his new space bridge repair team in a few days.” Buddy: “Sir—” Magnus’s computer sounds off. Magnus: “I am needed elsewhere.”
Buddy tried contacting Sentinel, but he never answered.
Then they tried contacting Optimus.
Nothing.
Oh, they are furious now.
They wee going to talk to Optimus one way or another!
Optimus and Ratchet are walking down the hall of the ship. It had been a few days since they had left Cybertron and met up with Prowl. CREAK! Both mechs freeze at the noise. Ratchet: “Prime..” Optimus: “Get behind me.” Optimus takes out his axe and moves slowly to the sound. Suddenly one of the crates opens. BANG! A servo comes out and someone sits up. Buddy groaned and looked around before seeing the mechs. Optimus is taken back. Optimus: “Buddy?! What are you doing here!?” Buddy has a furious look on their face as they shakingly stand up with their cane. Ratchet squints before recognizing the bot. Ratchet: “Wait a second, you were the bot with the organic leg trauma.” Buddy quickly flashes him with a smile before scowling at Optimus. Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Prowl enter. Bumblebee: “Hey Boss bot we’re finished with—umm, do we have another crewmate?” Bulkhead: “They look kinda angry.” Prowl stares at the new bots cane. Buddy sighs before straightening up as much as they could and smiles at the others behind. Buddy: “Hello! I’m Buddy, sorry for the sudden intrusion but I was trying to talk to my friend here.” Optimus: “Friend?” Buddy flashes him a glare. Buddy: “We are going to talk about that promise later. Now, Prime, Introduce me to your crew.”
After the introduction, Buddy made it very clear that they were going to stay on the ship.
Optimus argued about taking them back home.
Which was followed by Buddy whacking the Prime over the helm with their cane and grabbing his audial fins tightly.
Optimus believed that they were angry at him for letting them get hurt.
Buddy is just mad that Magnus never tried to hear the whole truth of what happened, Sentinel for letting Optimus take the fall, and angry with Optimus because he didn’t even try to come and visit them or say anything on what happened that day.
Timeskip to Earth…
Buddy becomes the bot behind the screen seeing as they couldn’t exactly transform.
They also didn’t like going outside for too long after seeing the humans staring at their limp and cane.
It felt weird and creepy.
Sari points out why not fix the leg.
Buddy has to explain to her and the professor why fixing or replacing her leg would be pointless.
Bless Sari’s heart for trying to use the key to fix their leg.
But the key did not work to purge the organic goop lodged deep in their circuits.
The team also takes a bit to get used to Buddy.
The younger teammates such as, Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Sari admire Buddy’s want for new explorations and fun-loving nature.
The bot makes them feel that anything is possible if you do things right.
If Buddy does try to do some stunts they are cheering while having Ratchet or Optimus on speed dial.
Bee and Sari look up to Buddy the most.
Bulkhead is glad to have another friend who is willing to look out for him and encourage him to explore his hobbies.
Buddy on top of the Plant with Bulkhead. Buddy is sitting beside him as he paints the skyline. Buddy: “How about using more of that blue over there?” Bulkhead: “Not yet, the paints still wet and I don’t want it mixing with the other colors.” Bulkhead looks around. Bulkhead: “Where are Bumblebee and Sari?” Buddy chuckles. Buddy: “I beat Bumblebee’s high score on his video game, he’s trying to pass my score now.” Bulkhead: “How much did you beat him?” Buddy flashes him their signature smirk. Buddy: “I doubled it.” Furious screams and clicking are heard inside the Plant.
Prowl is cautious of Buddy.
Ever since he saw them with their cane, the ninja bot had been suspicious of the bot.
He had never seen a bot us a cane before.
This was clearly some sort of elaborate trap for something.
Though Optimus did seem to know them quite well…
Still!
It isn’t until one night he is meditating that he notices Buddy’s door was open.
Going to investigate, the ninja bot finds Buddy with a very pained face trying to massage their pede.
He had never seen the bot with that face before.
It was always smiles and jokes, never one so close to tears.
Buddy jumps seeing Prowl at the door. They fake a smile. Buddy: “Hey Prowler, why are you up so late?” Prowl: “Couldn’t sleep. What is wrong with your pede?” Buddy has brief panic in their optics. Buddy: “Nothing to worry about.” Prowl puts his servos on his hips. Prowl: “So if I go ask Optimus—” Buddy: “Fine… I get really bad phantom pains since my accident. The organic goop in my circuits makes them sting from time to time.” Prowl: “Why not get it replaced?” Buddy laughs humorlessly. Buddy: “Don’t you think I would have tried that if the goop wasn’t a problem?” Buddy sighs tiredly. Buddy: “Sorry Prowl, I’m just tired and a bit in pain right now.” Prowl pauses before walking over and sitting next to them. Prowl takes out a disc and plays a hologram of a nature documentary. Nothing was said, but many much was appreciated.
Ratchet and Optimus are both on the ‘High’ range for the worry scale.
Ratchet, being a medic how skimmed a bit on their profile on Cybertron knew about the goop in their circuits and the potential damages it could cause.
It didn’t help when Buddy wanted to do any extreme rigors activity.
He has lost count of the number of times he has scolded them about being more careful.
Though he is more sympathetic when the phantom pains kick in while he is around.
The field tech dos his best to make sure that Buddy is in the least pain possible when handling their legs.
Ratchet: “Okay Buddy, I’m going to be touching the pede now.” Buddy nods. Ratchet touches the pede lightly and already hears the heightened vent being taken. Ratchet: “It’ll be over soon kid.” Buddy in a strain voice: “Not complaining. Not complaining at all.”
Optimus, as much as he is glad to have his future Conjunx (or at least they still are) around, he is practically begging them to stop the stunts.
He has lost count of the number of extreme trust falls from buildings he has caught them from.
The Prime just wants them safe.
Will defend Buddy with everything he has, whether it be physical or emotional.
From random humans calling them a useless bot for being ‘defective’ and using a cane.
To carrying them to safety under a Decepticon attack.
Optimus is right by Buddy’s side the moment they show any sign of pain.
He is getting lessons from Ratchet on how to make the pain more bare able for Buddy’s leg.
Optimus is gently massaging the pede. His spark ache seeing their face in pain. Buddy: “So… are we going to talk about it?” Optimus: “talk about what?” Buddy: “About what happened that day or if what you told me was the truth or not?” Optimus stops for a second to think before facepalming. He had completely forgotten his promise. Optimus: “By the Allspark, Buddy I—” Buddy: “Its okay if you didn’t mean it Prime. I just—” Optimus optics widen. Optimus: “No! I mean I want to! I do! It just sort of slipped my mind with… well everything happening all at once.” Buddy gently places a servo on face smiling gently. Buddy: “So does that mean…” Optimus sighs and leans into their servo. Optimus: “When the time is right. I give you my word.” Buddy smiles wider as the two fall into a comfortable silence.

I'm in love with the way you portray Jazz, and there just so little writing for him.
I was wondering if I could request another part for Jazz or IDW Starscream 🙏 your fics are giving me life. I check Tumblr every day hoping for more!

Over It Now Pt 10
IDW Jazz x Reader
• It’s such a little thing, nothing really, but when you start reaching out to him, it’s like a weight lifted from his shoulders. Asking him how his day was. How it really was, not letting him just smile and play it off. Encouraging him to be real even if it leaves him vulnerable and it means so much to him, even as he can’t let go of that mask just yet. There’s still the fear that if he does, you won’t like what’s underneath. Maybe if you see all the frustration and anger just under the surface, you’ll finally refuse to sit with him altogether. So he keeps the smile in place, keeps joking, but at night before you disappear inside to sleep, he sings for you in Cybertronian everything he wants to say, but is too afraid to. He bleeds out the poison night by night, needing the warmth of you against him so he doesn’t drown in it, because there’s so much.
• “You’re quiet today,” you say, studying the big Autobot. And that unusually somber expression is gone in a twist of a sly smile. Playing that part again, but it doesn’t bother you as much as it once did. After that night, you almost feel like you understand that his smile is sometimes all that’s holding him together, because when he sings? Even though you can’t understand a word of it, there’s anguish and hope and fury all twisted together in that haunting voice. It cuts you straight to the bone, hurts you, but you just curl against him and let him sing. Because as much as it hurts you, to keep all that inside must be slowly killing him.
• “Just thinking, doll,” he says, a shoulder lifting in a shrug. Not entirely a lie, though worrying might be a better word. They’d found a viable energon mine, but so had the Decepticons. The same mine. Bumblebee had reported seeing Ravage skulking about. It’s not like he hadn’t known the war would eventually boil over again, but both sides are so starved for energon, he’d thought this uneasy truce might last just a bit longer while they replenished their stores. And worst of all, that mine is far too close to your home, to the nearby city. He’s already started setting up a space for you in his quarters, knowing you’re going to hate him for it, but if fighting breaks out? He can’t leave you here. He can’t lose you. “Didn’t mean to worry you.”
• Watching him drum a servo nervously against his thigh, you know he’s lying, but you make yourself let it go. He’d promised to not lie about the big stuff and while he lies as easily as you breathe, you’d believed his serious tone that night. The same night he’d first sang and then pulled you into his arms while you cried for him. Just thinking about makes you feel unsettled, like there’s something hanging right between you both, just out of reach. Something that if you try to take it, will shift everything between you and you don’t want to risk what you have. He’s frustrating and you can’t trust half of what he says, but he does make you laugh. He makes you happy.
• “I have to worry,” you say, eyes so serious as you lean on your crutches and look up at him. “Because you won’t.” Oh, kitten, you have no idea how he worries, but he smiles crookedly, reaching out to gently tap you on the nose with a servo. Playing the clueless, goof even as anxiety eats him alive and you swat at his servo without any real heat. Just like you have no idea how much you mean to him, how much he’ll sacrifice to protect that feeling of peace you bring him and to protect you.

ok so like I know the bots are weary of water but do they understand just how important it is for life on earth? We can go far longer without food than water. I might even say it is the closest thing we have to energon. Water is everywhere, our planet lives and breathes through it. If they don’t know how would they react to knowing how much we need and all that. I can imagine ratchet making sure the kids drink more water and less soda. 😂
Miko: Hi ratchet, how’s it-
Ratchet: Here, drink your water.
Miko: I’m really not that thirsty but thank-
Ratchet: Here. Water. Drink. Now.
I freaking love this. Just, the bots always having water on hand ALL the time.
Miko gets in to Bulkhead's passenger seat? Water bottle. Rafael sits at his desk too long? Bee gives him a water bottle. Jack stays at work too long? Arcee will turn up with, you guessed it, a water bottle. The team worry for their squishy friends. You can never be sure with the soft ones. Best to just keep them hydrated and always have food on hand just in case.
