Tiny formers seeker trine. You have to get all three because they will cry if separated

The seekers flying circles around you when you come back from work, before demanding food and cuddles

Thundercracker will literally wait by the door the entire day for you to come home. He hugs your leg when you leave and as soon as you open the door when you come home he's zooming up to your shoulder and hugging your face.

Skywarp will generally also come greet you when you come home, unless he's napping or has gotten stuck in something. He may need you to come rescue him.

Starscream is a little diva who will scream until you pick him up and then act like a perfect angel as he burrows under your chin for snuggles.

All three of them like to fly up to high places (on top of bookshelves, the fridge, inside wall mounted cabinets), so you may want to invest in some of those cat-platforms for them to climb on, that way you don't have to deal with sick tinies constantly sneezing and coughing because they've been scampering around on dusty shelves.

Tinyformers First Aid who communicates with little siren wee-woos!!!

He'd wail them at you if he notices you don't care of yourself and your companions.

Forgot a meal? Wee-woo

Cut your finger and didn't disinfect and bandage it? Wee-woo

Forgot to water the plants? Wee-woo

Your computer makes a weird noise? Wee-woo! The machines suffer too!

I've shown you the description of his G1 toy, he'd be a little ball of too much empathy (I'd put him in a glass bc CHILL little guy I'll live--)

--- Thun

WEE-WOO WEE-WOO

Tinyformers First Aid is worrying over everything, no matter how small. He will literally break down into tears if you kill a bug. Please be careful.

He notices you shedding hair and has an entire crisis because he thinks you're dying. You will need to gently explain to him that human hair naturally sheds itself.

And GOD FORBID your TV remote need a new change of batteries. First Aid will try to have a funeral for the hunk of plastic before you can even take the drained batteries out.

Thinking about the ask you got for tinyformers AU with the drunk kisses and affection, and now my little rat brain can only think of that But The Cons. Megatron hissing like a feral cat but also wanting the affection,,,,,,,, ndndjdbdbdn

MY ADHD OBJECT PERMANENCE -

I FORGOT I HADN'T ANSWERED THIS ASK

Since my expertise lies with IDW1 I'll be using them for these, and while I do think Megatron would probably grumble, I don't know if he'd go full feral. He'd probably just accept his fate and sulk about it later.

Starscream on the other hand would constantly flip-flop between adoring the attention and acting like a little diva about it. If you do it once, you're gonna have to do it every time because he will throw a fit when you aren't providing him with the affection he deserves.

Soundwave is content with the affection and will warble musically at you, but some of the cassettes will protest. Ravage does not like to be touched in general, and his claws aren't just for show.

A Post-Shadowplay Shockwave will rage at the affection and fight to escape your grasp, unless he somehow manages to determine that the expression of emotion is somehow beneficial to yours and his health. He desires to make your household and life run as efficiently as possible, and if allowing you to cover him in kisses furthers that goal, he will accept it.

Tarn is honestly similar to Starscream, but instead of throwing a fit because he's being "denied his rightful affection", Tarn just throws a fit because you aren't following the mental schedule he's made for you. He does still enjoy the snuggles though.

[zephyrrhiesfyrian]

Tinyformers! Rodimus stands at his human friends feet looking for uppies, and attention after they get home from work.

"Oh? It looks like I'm getting a call!" They pick him up, and poke him in the chassis a couple of times. Making silly little dialing noises with their mouth. He chirps in delight at the attention he's getting, and wriggles a little bc he's being tickled.

They then bring him up to their ear, and say, "Hello? I've been contacted by a little goober who wants attention?" This tempts forth a torrential tide of beeps, boops, chirps, and squeaks from the cute little guy who's only happy to see his bestie after they've been gone for 5 million years. (They were at work. It's only been 5 hours. lol.)

They bring him down from their ear, and hold him normally after he accidentally kicks them in the cheek a few too many times out of excitement. "What am I gonna do with you, you little goofball?" Roddy points excitedly at the tv, and beeps part of the theme song to his favorite show. River Monsters. (Bc G1 Roddy likes fishing, and I didn't know what else to put there. lol)

"Ohhhhh. Is it time for your favorite show?" He beeps loudly in response, and his friend laughs before turning it on, and sitting down with him to watch it.

AWWWAAAAAAAA

THIS IS PRECIOUS, ANON ✨❤

[zephyrrhiesfyrian]

All the rowdy tinyformers are so cute, but imagine also having a tiny Rung. Baby is just quiet and tranquil in his little habitat, and you're not really sure if he's really happy to be there or just being polite until you offered him snacks and saw him store them all away like an extra orange squirrel. (he is. after all, 90% subspace xD) I'd also imagine he'd love any and all little toys you can offer him that he can assemble, and he'd be a banger puzzle partner (oh, to have a tiny little guy brave a pile of puzzle pieces to dig out a particular one you need for a corner of the puzzle)

You also wouldn't have to worry about him running off if you take him outside, but most of the time he's so quiet that if you do put him down anywhere for him to check stuff out and get distracted u better not forget to pick him up again once you're done, he has no alt mode to come to you-

TINY RUNG TINY RUNG TINY RUNG

Not him storing away the snack, that's so precious

I am in love with the image of Tinyformers Rung helping out with a puzzle; if you put him on the puzzle table he will instantly start finding corner and edge pieces for you. He's very good at puzzles, but while he can do harder ones, he prefers the ones with bright colors and varied patterns.

Oh no what would tiny Overlord do--

---vThun

Be an absolute menace, that's what.

Overlord acts like a toddler; which is to say he is very attached to you and will throw tantrums when you don't do what he wants. He will try anything and everything stupid that he is able to and if you stop him, he will throw a fit.

Try to stop him from sticking his small metal fingers into an outlet? Tantrum. Don't stop him from sticking his small metal fingers into an outlet, resulting in him shocking himself? Tantrum.

And god forbid you have any other tinies, because Overlord will rage if he thinks you're favoring them over him.

Essentially he's a perpetual baby.

[zephyrrhiesfyrian]

Ooh ooh, you know I got a large dog, who is gonna run from him, who is gonna befriend him?

Bc my dog absolutely loves creatures, especially small ones, and he'd put his nose in the tiny TF habsuite to check on them LOL

--- Thun

Soundwave adores him. This is now his new (very very large) cassette. Rumble and Frenzy also love him because ooo big creature to play with and climb on. Ravage and Laserbeak are not fans, although Buzzsaw may sometimes fly down to perch on his head.

Kaon/Amp also loves him, but that probably goes without saying. Tinyformers Kaon is probably a taser of some sort, so there's likely a lot of time (hopefully) where you don't need to make use of his function, and he will spend all his free time cuddling with doggo.

Tailgate and Swerve are both terrified at first, but they warm up pretty quickly once they know he's not gonna eat them xD

Fulcrum will never warm up. Fulcrum will hide in your walls to escape the dog.

[zephyrrhiesfyrian]

You know that one GIF of Jake Gyllenhaal gesturing around at things whilst holding a ferret? That's me with Tinyformers Rodimus. I think he'd like being gently shaken, and jiggled around. Bc he's a goober. I think he'd ask for the jiggle-wiggle treatment. As well as asking for you to make him 'fly' (Read: Holding him sideways, and moving him through the air like he's a toy plane. Be sure to make plane noises when you do this, he'll go nuts for it.)

That's also probably how regular Rodimus would behave whilst holding a human. Maybe not on purpose, though. I think he'd have to temporarily forget that he's holding them in order for that to happen.

NYOOOOOOOOM

LOOKIT HIM GO, HOOMAN, HE FLYIN

[zephyrrhiesfyrian]

There's this one meme that's like "Came home drunk last night, and got way too excited to see my cat." And you see the white cat covered in lipstick smooches in the picture.

That's me with Tinyformers! Bumblebee, or Rodimus, or Optimus, or Drift, or Swerve, or- (I don't wear lipstick though. So I wouldn't have to worry about washing the lipstick off of them. The point stands though.)

I would also hug them lots. I think I'd probably want to take care of an affectionate Tinyformer, bc I'd see the little guy(s), and want to hug them a whole lot. And give them little kissies.

Bumblebee might be a little embarrassed at all the affection at first, but he loves to snuggle with you and receive kissies once he gets used to it. Rodimus and Swerve are always up to be yoinked and showered in affection, although Swerve is a little less of a brat when he wants attention (Rodimus may commit small acts of arson if you don't respond in a timely fashion). Drift is also very cuddly, but he definitely needs his alone time too. If he's not in a mood to be held though, he'll try to bring you a plushie or something that you can squish instead; he knows you do it out of love!

If you've got a tiny Orion Pax, he'll be a lot more open to receiving affection in the form of kisses and snuggles, even if he may wriggle and beep at you in embarrassment. If your tiny is Optimus though, he'll either aggressively bap at your fingers to put him down, or he'll begrudgingly accept his fate and just lay there limply, his finials twitching. Optimus takes himself very seriously, you see.

Other affectionate tinies include: Red Alert surprisingly! He takes a long time to get fully comfortable with you, but once you've crossed that hurdle he is practically inseparable from you. He will not sleep in his own habitat because he needs to be pressed against your heartbeat the entire night to "make sure his human doesn't die".

Brainstorm also requires a lot of attention, but after a bit of snuggling he's squirming for freedom so he can crawl around your shoulders or sit on your head or just fly circles around you.

First Aid and Ambulon both enjoy being picked up and cuddled, but First Aid is far more willing to reciprocate the affection; he'll try to hug your face when you lean in to give him kissies and he'll softly bonk his faceplate against you to return them! Ambulon is more content just to stay put and snuggle into your hands.

The first two or three times you pick Trailbreaker up for snuggles, he'll probably panic bubble out of instinct, but he does very much enjoy the affection. He'll generally find his way into your lap if you're sitting down and fall asleep to being pet gently. He is a lap cat. And yes, his lil engine purrs.

[zephyrrhiesfyrian]

I love your tinyformers so much😭, I just know Ratchet and First Aid would help me study🫶. Your tinyformers art and rambles literally make my day 200000x better

aaaaaaa I'm so glad they help make your day better! :3

First Aid has timers set for how long you're "allowed" to study, because he insists you take breaks to prevent you from getting burnt out. Ratchet will lightly bonk him with a wrench if he gets too worked up about it, but he does approve of the framework.

Depending on what the topic is you're studying, they might also try to help you with it too! First Aid loves helping with grammar and essays, but his writing style leans more towards prose than a comprehensive article. Ratchet generally encourages you to figure things out on your own, but if he notices you're really struggling he'll step in.

Your tinies all care about you! They wanna help!

The absolute best tiny to have for proofreading your things, fact checking your research and citations in essays, and correcting your maths, is Perceptor, for obvious reasons. You don't even have to ask him; just set him on the desk with the papers and he will automatically start finishing your equations. He can't help himself.

Ultra Magnus/Minimus is also a good proofreader; he's very good if you need to reach a word count, because he likes to add in clarifications and addendums (Perceptor will make his edits as quick and concise as possible).

Rodimus may burn your homework because it's taking your attention away from what really matters, which is obviously him.

[zephyrrhiesfyrian]

Oh, what's your take on a TFA Sentinel as a Tinyformer?

oh my god

Honestly, of the Sentinels I know, TFA Sentinel would be only one mildly tolerable as a tiny XD

Tinyformers Sentinel at first acts like a spoiled child, throwing fits and getting angry if you don't give him exactly what he wants, but the second you show him actual affection he short-circuits.

He's still very dramatic, but he'll eventually start begrudgingly listening to you when you tell him things he can/can't do.

He will strut around like a peacock if you take him on a walk though.

[zephyrrhiesfyrian]

Would do you think a Tinyformers! Soundwave would be like? Would he have his cassettes with him? I can't help but imagine what a handful those littler guys would be.

Though they'd probably be hard to spot most of the time so you have to put bells on the cassettes if they're out and about so nobody puts them in danger. (I know Soundwave is a very capable, and competent caretaker, but. I worry about the little guys you know?)

Lazerbeak would definitely be the one Soundwave sends to get your attention about something. You get mildly pestered by the little bird, and also Ravage sometimes. But they're not So bad compared to Rumble, and Frenzy.

I think I already answered a Soundwave ask, but I'd love to talk more about him! :D

Soundwave likes to help you around the house with various tasks (he's a very attentive cooking assistant), usually playing music all the while.

While he does have his cassettes with him, the only two who are actively nuisances are, unsurprisingly, Rumble and Frenzy. They like to run around like the hyperactive gremlins they are, but if you invest in a few LEGO sets and are okay with cheesy action movies playing in your living room, they're pretty easy to keep in one place.

Ravage likes to nap in patches of sunlight just like an organic cat would, only you'll burn your hand if you try to pick him up since he's made of black metal. After the first few times of nearly stepping on Ravage, you both learn to keep an eye out for each other so it doesn't happen again.

Laserbeak is generally the one to come get you if Soundwave wants your attention for something, because she'll continue to chirp at you until you follow her. Buzzsaw is easily distracted if you start petting him.

If you wear any clothes with pockets, there's a 50% chance that Ratbat will find his way in there. You've probably accidentally put him in the washing machine before.

[zephyrrhiesfyrian]

I don't know if this even counts as an ask but if I had a tiny Roddy in my house I would beeline for him any time I come back to pick him up and pepper him with tiny kisses. I need to hold him cupped in my palms so bad, he's such a cutie- (Me and my cuteness aggression would be waging a war that would make optimus and megatron shed tears)

Tiny Rodimus would adore getting kisses and pets and snuggles! He will run up to you, chirping in excitement, holding up his arms for uppies. When you pick him up, he'll hug your hand or fingers and grin up at you, kicking his leggies.

CUTENESS AGRESSION FTW HELL YEAH >:D

Tinyformers Tarn singing tiny operas but bc he's so small he just sounds like the largest mosquito ever

--- Thun

ASDFGH OH MY GOD

He also can't speak human languages, so his attempts are very janky XD

He likes to sit in front your phone or tablet and watch operas and musicals, and if you're sneaky enough you can sometimes catch him doing his best to sing along. He will stop if he notices you. He is very shy.
