TFA TEAM PRIME HUMAN REDESIGNS FINALLY

Optimus: gotta stay focused
looks too old compared to his bot form.
I find it impossible for Optimus to be more than a million years old in this canon. In the least, he's older than 1000 years and since we have mfs that are canonically over 70 million years old(fagatron iykyk) compared to that, he feels like a dude in his early-to-mid-30's being the group parent.
---
-I made him more youthful, gave him curly hair, and tailored his clothing to actually look like his bot form.
-workaholic
-on the cusp of barley being able to hold his liquor
-doesn't own a pair of pajamas until Sari gets some for him
-usually forgets to put them on, but appreciates the gesture
-stays active for like, 3 days until he can't fight off sleep with work brain anymore, and unceremoniously passes out on the couch to sleep for a full 24 hours
-ratchet sighs and puts a blanket over him as per routine
-frequently checks security feed
-elf on the shelf despiser
-early morning talks with jazz and ratchet over coffee (they all wake up at 6 am)
-half thrives on caffeine and a vigorous training protocol
-is a dog person, loves German shepherds to death
David sama, pls forgive me ily very much
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ratchet: to old for this nonsense
doesn't match his body type in the slightest.
Ratchet is really old, he's got a sallow face and a gramp gut, how dare they square him. He's wayyy too angular and peachy looking.
-I gave him his luscious curves back, adding all the equipment id expect a field medic to have because he is a field medic, not a regular doctor. I changed his facial proportions, and also made his face gaunt, for that dead inside PTSD look.
---
-drinks his coffee black with brown sugar, literally drinks it piping hot
-is one of those old people who complains about noise
-confiscates bumblebee and Sari's toy cars, and puts them in a high up cabinet
-neither of them know how to bypass the child safety lock lmao
-casual clothes includes a lot- a l o t of plaid shirts, and 10 pairs of the same blue jeans
-tunes out bulkhead and prowls convos about birdwatching
-big fan of political satire dramas
-Sentinel doesn't approve
-Ratchet doesn't give a rats ass about what he thinks of course
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bumblebee: professional smart-ass
doesn't match his body type/age.
Bumblebees holoform is presented as a 10-12 year old child specifically for the fact that he's short, and the comedic relief. Total ass
I set his human age as 19-20 years old, making him more of a big brother to sari because that og model is disappointingly lackluster
---
-Bumblebee is a scrappy wisecracking punk, like an adhd kid who just got roller skates for Christmas.
-since he doesn't have wheels, I feel like he'd wear skates instead to emulate the feeling
-terrible at watching where he's going cuz he's too busy trying to show off, so ratchet makes him wear all that padding + training wheels
-legit despises the padding and training wheels
-Jealous of Blurr for mastering roller blades lmao.
-his favorite games are choose your fighter and fps
-saw ONE ancient ass assassins creed playthrough and begged ratchet to install hidden tasers in his arm bands (was denied)
-Sari used her key to do it instead
-self appointed "rizzler"
-Optimus has zero idea of what that means and thinks it's code for something dubious
-Ratchet knows what it means and thinks it's silly
-"I' was something of a rizzler myself back in my day, kid"
-bumblebee cringes
-loves summer and swimming
-wants to be the fastest thing in the sea because y'know, it's bumblebee
-is spooked from the beach for awhile cuz he saw sharks in Prowls nature documentary
-there are infact, no sharks in lake Erie
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bulkhead: big guy, bigger heart
doesn't match his body type/aspirations.
Jesus fuck he's so wide?? And his belly migrated to his shoulders?? I'm gonna be honest, I really hate this design. I feel like it contributed to the "brute strength = stupid" take that most in the fandom associates with him.
---
-Bulkhead is a SWEET. CARING. NERD YOU FOOLS. He's like the male version of a tall goth gf-
-a tall-nerdy-farm hand-physics bf, You got me fucked up.
-Its already shown that bulkhead really likes art in Addition to creating it. He hates being only seen as the "muscle" so it wouldn't make sense for him to lean into that.
-bunny slippers that him and sari made together(she provided the buttons)
-the slippers go missing sometimes (basically considered community property unless he's wearing them)
(ratchet and prowl are the main offenders)
-frequent art museum goer
-really likes watching cooking shows, but is too shy to make food himself
-Owns a ton of star maps
-Really wants a treehouse that he, bumblebee and sari can hang out in
-pillowfort enjoyer
-casually reads quantum physics at the beach
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Prowl: draft dodger
Doesn't look like him at all.
Prowls holoform being a mustachioed,white, police officer was an actual jumpscare for 7 y/o me, I kid you not
---
- I know this bitch would not wear a helmet (you can't force him to) que windswept hair
-Not as much as starscreams, for obvious reasons but yk
-prowl is like one of those "shoes are a prison for your feet"
-emo hipster
-has a pet cactus named "planty"
-bumblebee heckles him for it
-can and has brought his cactus with him on early evening motorcycle rides
-the helmet is reserved for his cactus, bring your own >:(
-salad consumer
-him and jazz share custody of the cactus
-repeat victim of the cat distribution system
-ratchet has probably spent hours telling him they can't keep any animals at base
-frequent midnight picnics with jazz
-and beachcombing
-and roaming around antique stores cuz jazz wants to know what vinyl records are
-got a mug with an attempted pink chibi cat with big round shiny eyes painted onto it, courtesy of bulkhead trying to find an artsyle
-cherishes this mug to death
-has a shrine dedicated to it

Do the Jasper Trio ever catch any of the other Autobots in their holoforms? I assume they’d be able to quickly tell it’s them after finding out about Mr. Pax being Optimus. They’d be able to connect some of the weird behavior Mr. Pax had to the other Autobot holoforms (aka not breathing, not eating, not blinking)
They have, and every single time it's like a cryptid sighting.
Previous part here.
━━━━━━ ⊙ ❖ ⊙ ━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⊙ ❖ ⊙
The children were distantly aware of the fact that all the bots had holoforms and used them every now and then, but it wasn't exactly at the forefront of their minds all the time. They had better things to do than stare at strangers when around town on the off chance it would be one of the bots. But of course, much like with Optimus, they located the bots in their holoforms after a while.
Ratchet was the first bot they noticed and it was only by pure accident. June had gotten sick with a nasty cold and since Jack had to go to school, the nurse had asked Ratchet to go pick up some medicine for her. Ratchet, ever the dutiful doctor, took the money June gave him and sauntered over to the local pharmacy in his usual disguise. But not breathing or blinking tends to be a dead giveaway when combined with bright orange and white hair. The kids were walking by chatting away when suddenly Rafael stopped and stared. A hushed conversation later, Ratchet found himself swarmed.
"Ratchet is that you!?"
"Children, you should be back at base by now."
"You actually use your holoform??!"
"Why else would I have it if not to use it?"
Ratchet drove the kids to base after his little outing. Since that day he has known no peace now that the kids are well aware he can leave base, he just doesn't like to. He has been asked to take them to the playground or other locations more times than he cares to count. Unfortunately for Miko and Jack though, Rafael is far more adept at noticing holoforms than them. Despite their pleading, he refuses to tell them anything about the incidents where he met other bots in their holoforms one on one.
Arcee doesn't usually go out except on the odd night she travels around the cities of America doing vigilante business. But every now and then she will go with Bee to his gaming events just to observe. This in turn has led Rafael to run into and notice the duo dozens of times, usually just as they are about to leave. Once they know they have been spotted, Bee and Arcee have made it a game to vanish before Rafael can get to them. He finds it infuriating, they find it funny to watch him try to get to them as they parkour out the nearest window for the dramatics of it and because of how it amuses the children. They always drive him home afterwards in order to make it up to him.
Bulkhead was spotted by Jack one evening when he was on his way back from work on one of the few days Arcee couldn't come get him. Bulkhead was having a drink, or at least pretending to drink, with a few of his human construction worker friends. He was laughing and stood out starkly amongst the group. Jack hadn't been paying too much attention, but the big build, the strong jaw, and the ever so slightly glowing eyes had him pausing. He'd seen enough of Optimus's holoform to know the tell tale signs. And so having a ridiculous amount of confidence in his assumption, Jack waved to Bulkhead after tapping on the window. Bulkhead in turn waved back and it is now tradition for them to greet each other on the odd chance they pass by one another in the wild.
Wheeljack isn't around often, but his fanclub is very active. Miko sniffed out their Wrecker habits and creed immediately and has hounded them relentlessly in order to keep a lookout for Wheeljack's holoform. They think she is just a very enthusiastic Wheeljack fan. She is, but her main reason for being there is to get a picture of Wheeljack's holoform for her scrapbook. She has half the team in there already, but Wheeljack is a difficult one to track. Thus far she has only managed to get blurred images of him in large part due to the Wrecker knowing her game. She has continued to attempt to do increasingly bizarre things to hopefully get a sneaky photo.
The children firmly believed Ultra Magnus didn't have a holoform. They were proven wrong when he walked directly into school to pick them up after they got caught in a few too many incidents. At first they didn't recognize him, but the lack of breathing, blinking, or any natural twitching gave him away quickly. As they sat waiting to be released, they began to smile more than ever as soon as the glow of his eyes was noted. The poor mech was pestered the entire way to base as he drove the children back. Since then, whenever he comes to school to help Optimus with anything, he is greeted by a fond nickname.
"Magnus is in the house!"
"That's Ultra Magnus to you Miko."
"Who the heck names their kid Ultra?"
Smokescreen took a lot longer to be spotted, but when it happened, it was by far the most startling. Due to his tendency to mess with his holoform's appearance and to indulge in parkour, he usually isn't around or at least visible. But once while the kids were walking home, Smokescreen decided to tail them on the rooftops of the nearby buildings. His big mistake? He jumped directly into a wall while not paying enough attention and fell at least twenty feet to the ground. The kids of course saw and hurried over to assist or at least call 911. But instead they watched Smokescreen stand up, shoot them a set of finger guns, and take off up the building like spider man.
It wasn't hard to figure out it was him. He was mocked ruthlessly for crashing as soon as the kids got back to base.

If we are going to discuss TFP Bulkhead let's think about post-War all the ex-Decepticons Vehicons being absolutely horny for their foreman. Going to be very, very dubcon (at best). Sorry it got a bot outta hand.
He's a boss but more along the lines of Breakdown who doesn't hit and treats them nicely and knows their names. He even starts to become friendly and knows their names. Everytime he bends over and has to come pick up something heavy, production stalls.
Most accidents are due to eyeballing him. He once got hot working and took off his chest plate casually as it is common with Construction bots to prevent overheating and they all got an eyeful of Bulkhead titties and a ten car pileup happened. Mommy Bulkhead kinks were born that day.
He is just surrounded by lusting Vehicons and one day they can't stand it, after he gets a little tipsy. He complains about how hard it is to find a partner mentioning everyone expects a big strong Wrecker and see him and how he'd like to be the one taken care of a bit you know. Like a hundred engines start growling at the thought and one of them says they could and Bulkhead laughs saying it's fine thinking they are joking. But then they all start complimenting him drunkenly and he blushes, waving off the “You're great boss!” “Anyone would be lucky to have you!” “So pretty!” and goes home but they are all plotting now.
The Vehicons all start a group effort of hitting on him and flirting and little gifts because that's how Autobots convey interest right? Completely goes over his head. Then they decide to do it the way things went on the Nemesis.
Bulkhead gets lured into a construction area below the surface and tries to help by clearing an area out and goes to walk through but the doors of the subterranean temple to one of the Primes shuts down and neatly cinches around his face. He curses but starts directing his team how to get out but things are weirdly quiet and then he feels a hand on his modesty plate. He bulks and then his lead assistant who is now rubbing against it explains that they all deeply care for him and want to show their appreciation and since the Autobot way didn't work they'll try something else.
Bulkhead finds out his comm connection doesn't work and though he struggles doesn't want to hurt them and tries to say why they can't do this because he's talked with them a lot and Decepticons have a really messed up idea of bodily autonomy and consent especially Vehicons who even he, guiltily, genuine thought were more drone than person for a long time.
They all assure him not to worry they'd never hurt him and keep touching him exactly, exactly, how he likes so his protests are interrupted by him moaning as he is getting hot and his vents opening up, fans turning on and getting wet behind the panel. He is suddenly deeply regretting all those interface stories he shared when they were relaxing together after hours. Even worse are the compliments both about his frame and himself that are just so sincere.
He can't stop it and his panel pops.
Things quickly escalate. That split face and long tongue from the zombie/Vampire episode? That's just how Vehicons feed. Soon Bulkhead has one eating him out the tentacle tongue going deeper than it should be able to while one is eagerly deep throating him tongue wrapping around and stroking his spike. He overloads and that's just the beginning.
There's a train of them eager to lick and suck and fuck him. The entire time he has to listen to how pretty his pussy he is how kind and sweet he is how they all just want to worship him and their fields are just a whirl stream of lust and admiration that is tripping him up over and over. The train just keeps going and going. He never gets a moment to feel empty because one replaces the next immediately and when his spike eventually recesses they gently lube that up with fingers and tongues and then his spike casing is being fucked as well which makes him overload even harded because they are small enough to not damage him.
Eventually his charge and fuel levels start to dip but they have a plan for that. Turns out the room isn't as locked down as he thought and some slip in here as they all take a break to massage him, oil his joints, squirt lube generously in all his holes and refuel him while he is dazed he barely reacts until he's getting kissed and that tongue is fucking his intake and his chest plate is getting removed. They give him Energon, engex, hand feed him sweets, and polish him as quite a few also have caretaking kinks.
(And the healthiest Decepticon relationship they are trying to mirror is KOBD.)
When they restart it is from the front and back. Kissing turns into fucking and someone is always sucking, squeezing or fucking in between his boobs and before he knows it he can't even count how many are going at once in his spike, valve, throat, aft, and boobs and he feels like he's stuck in a constant overload interrupted by "so pretty” “our beautiful big boss” “you can take so much so sweet”.
Bulkhead genuinely doesn't know when it ends but he wakes up in his bed fully recharged, body clean with no marks, no transfluid in any hole, but wet behind his panels. There's a message saying he got “overcharged” at the celebration and they tucked him in. The other Autobots comment about the party the Vehicons had.
Bulkhead thinks he dreamed it because everyone is so normal the next day, just warm and friendly, following orders and calling him boss. It makes him twitchy and nervous. He goes down to the Temple and finds they've cleared out the area and started repairs. No sign of him being pinned down there.
He thinks he's going a bit crazy because now he can't stop thinking about it and is horny constantly and conflicted and starts intentionally doing things like bending over or taking off his chest plate and stretching.
Then when he's accepted that it was just his overactive imagination his second comes up to his office leans into his personal space and just gently strokes up his arm pressing a field that feels just like Bulkhead's “dream” and says that the Vehicons are wanting to have a celebration in their barracks and they want Bulkhead there as the centerpiece. It's an invitation and Bulkhead freezes up before saying “of course” and shows up skittish and unsure. Everyone keeps touching him but keeping it PG as he is given drinks and lingering touches and he thinks maybe he imagined it. Then he gets lead into their “recreation area” and they've set up a massive frame with straps and padding designed to fit him.
Bulkhead takes a shot and says “yes”.
makes animal sounds at this because i'm fucking. speechless. Something about Bulkhead being extremely desirable for his size just does it for me. 
The vehicons working under him love Bulkhead. He doesn't scream at them, he doesn't hit them, and he's perfectly built (Bulkhead big naturals will now live in my head forever.) Vehicons being unaware of how to approach the subject of absolutely getting to ruin his holes one by one, they try to mimic autobot courting methods but that just doesn't work on Bulkhead. Getting to pin him down seems like a more efficient method. He's a strong guy, but a fucked up vehicon tongue up his pussy makes him fold so fast… 
Poor Bulkhead gaslit into thinking he just had an extremely vivid wet dream until he ends up down there again and now the room is nicely decorated and the vehicons promise to take care of him… I'll be completely honest with you, I want Bulkhead in a sex swing. I've decided that's going to be my fantasy for tonight. I want him helpless and strung up with vehicons pushing their spikes into his valve over and over again until he can barely feel his calipers…

What are your thoughts over the Japanese dub of the transformer prime series? Or any tf series!
I kinda love the second opening song of the primverse
OH! This is gonna be a long post! Let me talk a lot PLSSS!! 🥺👉👈
I love the original TFP dub but I also dig the Japanese version! I often enjoy comparing the differences between them!
A lot of popular voice actors in Japan participate in the show. Some of them even did voices in the “BEAST WARS” series, which had a big fanbase in my country.
The biggest difference between the original and the Japanese version is that the latter makes a few adjustments to the characters to make them more distinctive and child-friendly. They even added some comical lines that weren’t in the original to make it more mild and relatable for children. Because the original had some pretty serious moments. So in the Japanese version, Starscream and Airachnid turned out to be the funniest characters…
Similarly, “BEAST WARS” also underwent some comical changes for similar reasons. And because of that, the show was a hit with Japanese kids back in the day. So in TFP, I'd say they also gave a nod to fans who grew up watching it.
But as you can imagine, these changes have divided opinions among fans in Japan. Tbh, I understand how both of them feel about it because I love the original vibes! That being said, the Japanese dub has a lot of adorable moments that don’t exist in the original version! Let me pick up MY BOY BREAKDOWN as an example!!!!
He has a funny childish demeanor and talks more than in the original dub. His favorite phrase is “壊すの大好き!(I love breaking things!)”
In “Deus Ex Machina,” the episode of his first appearance, he says, “あーーーごめーーーーん!!(AAAHHH I’M SOOOORYYYYYY!!!)” to Knock Out when he accidentally hits his partner's face with his hammer!
In the next episode, “Speed Metal,” when Starscream scratches Knock Out’s paint as a punishment, Breakdown breaks the fourth wall and speaks to kids in front of the TV, saying “みんなぁ! いじめはダメだぞぉ!(HEY YOU GUYS!! BULLYING IS WRONG!!)” AWW IT'S SO ADORABLE!! HES 100% A NICE GUY lmao
And surprisingly, he even sings a song sometimes... If you don't believe me, please check out “T.M.I” and “Operation Bumblebee part 2” 🥺
And Our Knock Out is even more of a narcissist than in the original. He always praises himself for how beautiful he is. He usually uses polite Japanese when talking to others, but sometimes he talks to Breakdown casually! I love how the difference in his behavior signifies that Breakdown is special to him as a friend! ( ꈍᴗꈍ) <3
In addition, the voices of Optimus and Megatron both sound younger than in the original! On the other hand, Bulkhead sounds older than in the English version. That's interesting! Oh, and did you know? Wheeljack speaks just like a samurai! This change is probably due to his two-sword style.
I especially love Japanese Ratchet. The voice actor is Nobuo Tobita, who has played many TF characters until now. His voice is really soft and gentle! Besides, he also voiced Scourge in Rise of the Beasts! Wow, he has a wide range of acting! I’m a long-time fan of his!
Oh, speaking of ROTB, let me mention Japanese Mirage’s voice actor, Shingo Fujimori! He’s a famous comedian, and his comedy style is acting like a player and a party person (or someone like that… it’s difficult to explain). He shouts things like “YOOO! GIRL, YOU’RE SO PURDYYY!” So he really fits the character of Mirage!
Oh! And you listened to “TRANSFORMERZ” by M-flo? I like the song too! The original opening theme of TFP is magnificent, so you all might be surprised at the gap between them, but such an anime style is not bad, right? It's interesting how we find different styles in different countries!Unfortunately, the show was only broadcast in Japan up to seasons 2. I wish I could have seen the entire series dubbed in Japanese...😭
I really talked for quite a while, sorry! Thank you for the question, and for taking the time to read!

How would the tfp cons react at becoming celebrities after humans spot them and instant of panicking they start to fan girl over them
I love questions like this, because, it's actually true. The Cons have lots of fans! It was really fun writing about how they'd all react to their sudden rise to fame.
TFP Con's Reaction to Being Celebrities/Fangirled Over
Megatron:
-Definitely surprised, at first
-He'd need a minute to process, and take it all in
-But then he'd burst out laughing
"HAHAHAHA! The sheer IRONY! ...The very creatures which my DEAR friend OPTIMUS swore to protect...are clambering over one another to express their devotion to ME!"
-And when Optimus finds out, Megatron is SO smug about it. He KNOWS how much this whole thing is gonna emotionally destroy the Prime, and he LIVES for it.
-Megatron would smirk, signing a human's autograph, and say: "Haven't you heard, Optimus? I'm quite popular on this planet!"
-Kinda hilarious, honestly
-He'd also turn ALL the humans against the Autobots and use them as disposable soldiers...a new army of Vehicons, but smaller.
Starscream:
-At first...he'd be TERRIFIED.
-A crowd of human fans would swarm him -- screaming, fangirling, asking him to sign things, etc.
-So, of course, he'd be like:
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"
And just pathetically run away screaming.
He'd start out annoyed and disgusted:
"STAY AWAY FROM ME, VERMEN!"
Megatron would get a kick out of Starscream's reaction, as well. He'd elbow the second-in-command, and tease him:
"Why the long face, Starscream? Aren't you glad to finally be the object of worship?"
-Eventually, Starscream WOULD be glad (though he'd never admit it to the other Cons)
-The fame would go straight to his head. Soon, he'd dream of ruling both Cybertron AND Earth. He might even recruit his fans to aid in his attempts to assassinate Megatron
-Starscream with an army of humans. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Airachnid:
She'd say: "All this? For me? I'm blushing!"
And then she'd immediately slaughter everyone.
Classic Airachnid. She sure does love slaughtering things.
Soundwave:
-He'd mostly serve as Megatron's bodyguard, standing and watching
-If a human approached him, asking for his autograph, he'd say: "..........," stand there for a moment, and just walk away.
-How rude.
Shockwave:
"I find this level of adoration highly...illogical."
-Then he'd bore Megatron and Starscream to death with a lecture about psychology and parasocial relationships
-He'd snag a couple humans to use as lab rats, too
Knockout:
-Oh, he's LOVING it.
-He could pose in front of paparazzi all day
"Now, now. One at a time. Rest assured, you'll all get a chance to set eyes on my radiance! Who needs to fight AutoBOTS when I could sign autoGRAPHS- HEY! WATCH THE FINISH! I JUST BUFFED THAT!"
-Megatron's getting VERY annoyed, because Knockout and Breakdown have been spending pretty much ALL their time buffing each other. Gotta look lustrous for the adoring fans.
Breakdown:
-Right by Knockout's side. He'd be flexing and showing off his strength to the crowd
-He'd also rub the whole thing in Bulkhead's face
-Bulkhead would show up with Miko, and Breakdown would be like:
"Big deal. You've got one human on your side. Look how many I've got!"

It's fine, take all the time you need. Number 101?
This ask game
Let's wrap up the Autobot Anthology. Four Years after the War ended.
Titans and Energon
Holiday Celebration
Experiments
"Hey." Arcee snapped out of her daze when Wheeljack handed her some high grade energon. Arcee quietly took it before raising her servo in the air.
"Happy four year anniversary of the war being over," Wheeljack said.
"Four years, huh?" Arcee mused before taking a sip of her energon. She looked on to see the Survey Corps still training in the trees.
"You came all this way to give me energon?" Arcee asked him.
"And to keep you company," Wheeljack insisted, "Still working on contacting Cybertron."
"Not going as well as you'd hope?" Arcee asked.
"Could be better," Wheeljack proclaimed, "Still no sign of Eren?"
"Yeah, and everyone is feeling it," Arcee sighed, "...this sucks."
"Yeah it does." Wheeljack took a sip of his energon, "What do you think the 'Bots are doing right now?"
"Beats me," Arcee answered, "I bet they're having more fun than we are."
==
A million light years away
Bumblebee watched from the balcony as the Cybertronians celebrated the anniversary of the war being over. They drank Visco, they honored the fallen, the lights from the city shone brightly in the night sky, blocking out the stars. Bumblebee could see Predaking flying above with Darksteel and Skylynx, with the fourth predacon right behind them.
Bumblebee looked down at his reflection in the drink he held to see just how tired and sad he looked. He should be happy. Four years of little conflict, and Cybertron's reconstruction was going smoothly. They had just reopened Iacon in honor of Optimus Prime, but...he missed Optimus. He missed Arcee and Wheeljack. He knew that Arcee needed time away from the planet, but....he didn't expect her to be gone for so long. What was going on out there? Were they alright? Would they come back safely?
"Lieutenant Bumblebee, what are you doing up here all by yourself?" Bumblebee looked back to see a familiar slender psychiatrist with large glasses walk up to him with Visco in his servo.
"Sorry, Rung, I just needed...," Bumblebee trailed off when he noticed a straw with comical loops and twists in his drink, "Is that a swirly straw?"
"Oh, yes! I find them to be quite enjoyable! It makes drinking more fun!" Rung smiled with delight.
Bumblebee couldn't help but laugh. "I guess so. I didn't think you'd find something like a straw that fun."
"I have many interests and hobbies," Rung insisted, "But back to my question. What are you doing up here by yourself? You should be down there with your friends."
"...not all of my friends are here," Bumblebee mumbled before realizing what he just said, "Sorry, I shouldn't dump my problems on you like that."
"I'm a therapist," Rung reminded.
"Yeah, but...you're on break," Bumblebee retorted.
"I would still be more than willing to help out a friend." Rung placed a servo on his shoulder, "Now tell me: what troubles you?"
"...Arcee and Wheeljack aren't here," Bumblebee relented, "I miss them...and I thought they would be back by now, but...it's been three years."
Bumblebee leaned against the railing once again. "Seems selfish of me to complain, right? I haven't been that close to Wheeljack. Bulkhead knows him better. I know Arcee's been going through some hard times, I just...thought she would come back."
"Well, it's not wrong for us to be worried about friends and units we haven't seen in a long time," Rung began as he leaned against the railing too, drink in servo and hanging over the edge, "You don't know where they are and you're worried about their wellbeing. But...Arcee is just processing things at her own pace."
Bumblebee's mouth form a thin line. He wasn't a big fan of that answer.
Rung looked down at the crowd celebrating. "We all have our own problems and traumas, and we all process them differently. I've seen a variety of people come in through my door and not all methods I give will work the same for every single one of them. Arcee won't be able to process her traumas the same way that you have, and the two of you have been through tremendous hardships because of the war."
"...yeah." Bumblebee swallowed, remembering what he went through at Megatron's servo.
"But that doesn't mean you shouldn't fault Arcee for processing her trauma differently," Rung insisted.
"I'm not," Bumblebee grumbled, "I just..."
Rung waited, expecting an answer to come out, but Bumblebee sighed in defeat.
"I thought we finally achieved peace, real peace, on Cybertron, and I wanted Arcee and Wheeljack to be here with us. But...there's still problems and conflicts that I have to deal with and...it sucks. Like rogue Decepticons trying to rise up at overthrow the government or start terrorist attacks. I...just would have liked eternal peace, no matter how naive that seems." Bumblebee relented, "...I feel like I'm complaining."
Rung took a sip out of his drink through a straw. "Bumblebee, I'm going to let you in on a secret: eternal peace will never exist."
"Wow, that's blunt!" Bumblebee exclaimed in disbelief.
"It's the truth!" Rung declared, "All I have to do is gesture to Cybertron's history as proof. There's always conflict and problems that arise. Peace is achieved at the end of it, and there is a vow to not repeat those horrors, only for it to repeat a few million kilocycles later. As long as free will exists, then there will be no eternal peace. Maybe when we're dead, it will happen."
"...you're quite morbid, you know that?" Bumblebee was stunned while Rung laughed.
"I suppose so," Rung agreed, "But there's nothing wrong with striving for peace to last as long as possible. To help the next generation learn and not repeat the horrors of the past. One day it might happen, but it could be eons from now. We don't know."
Rung smiled. "And there is nothing wrong with trying to fight for peace and for a better world even when there are people who still resist. You are do a marvelous job, and I'm sure many are proud of you."
Rung placed a servo on Bumblebee's back. "You might not have everything you want right now, and I'm certain you want things to be easier, but...keep doing what you are doing. Things will work itself out in time. Peace might not be eternal, but I'm sure that it will continue to last your lifetime."
Bumblebee smiled a little before downing the rest of his Visco. "I guess that's the best that I can hope for."
Bumblebee stood up and patted Rung's shoulder. "Thanks, Rung."
"You're welcome," Rung said as Bumblebee walked away, "And hey!"
Bumblebee stopped in his step before turning to Rung.
"I bet that you will see Arcee sooner rather than later!" Rung predicted.
Bumblebee couldn't help but laugh. "Not a good idea to make false promises in your profession!"
"I swear on my spark!" Rung raised his drink into the air.
"Okay, Rung, I'll hold you to it!" Bumblebee waved goodbye, deciding to head down below and join the crowd. Meanwhile, Rung's smile disappeared as he lowered his drink. He looked up at the stars, hoping for a sign or even an answer to an unasked question, but nothing appeared.
Rung sighed as he leaned against the railing. He took a sip from his visco with a straw and mumbled to himself.
"...the beginning of the end..."
(Well, Autobot Anthology is over. So I will post the full list in a bit.)

How do you think the Autobots and Decepticons (TFA, TFP and ES) would react if they met the Unicron (G1), a planet the size of Cybertron, who could also transform into robot mode and tried to destroy Cybertron with his bare hands (literally speaking)
Tumblr media
Hi thank you for the ask! ( May I say that this is an intriguing ask. it's super interesting thank you! I haven gotten very far in Earthspark so I'll only do Optimus and Megatron, I hope that's okay)
Tfa Megatron: Tfa Megatron would attempt to keep his cool in order to gather information about who and what Unicron is. secretly he'd be a little unnerved at the thought of Cybertronian God being real. he would prefer to stay on Unicron's good side so long as he is a threat.
Tfa Blitzwing: Blitzwing would be freaking out at just how crazy it is that a Cybertronian God is real and that he is huge. he's not a fan of Unicron's tendency to consume worlds, however he keeps that little tidbit to himself.
Tfa Lugnut: Lugnut under the orders of Tfa Megatron would remain silent in Unicron's presence because Megatron doesn't think Lugnut would be able to not say anything that could get himself offlined.
Tfa Optimus Prime: The Young Prime doesn't know how to react to Unicron's presence and just does his best to cope he does what ever he can to keep his team safe.
Tfa Ratchet: Tfa Ratchet is extremely unhappy with Unicron's presence and has decide to help Optimus keep his team safe. He wouldn't want to talk to Unicron but he makes sure to keep Bumblebee from saying something inappropriate.
Tfa Bulkhead: Bulkhead helps Ratchet by distracting Bumblebee when ever he can and he makes sure Bumblebee understands how much danger they are in.
Tfa Bumblebee: He's Not allowed to interact with Unicron unless Ratchet or Bulkhead are present. he has a lot of questions for Unicron and really wants them to be answered.
Tfa Prowl: He snuck off to help find ways to send Unicron back to his original universe. Prowl has been gathering information on Unicron and reporting back to those attempting to neutralize Unicron and send him home.
Tfp Megatron: Post TFP Megatron would be the first to nope out of the situation. he was already under the control of one Unicron he does not need to make it two. he would do his best to avoid any and all interaction with G1 Unicron.
Tfp Starscream: Starscream would immediately attempt to get in Unicron's good graces not really knowing that Unicron doesn't have any. he's the most likely to get himself in to trouble involving Unicron.
Tfp Knockout: Knockout would be secretly insulting Unicron's looks in his head but outwardly he would do his best not to gain Unicron's attention by any means necessary.
Tfp Breakdown: Breakdown would do his best to follow Knockouts lead because he trusts Knockout to know what he's doing.
Tfp Soundwave: He is trying to find a way to send Unicron back to where ever he came from without getting caught. Soundwave wants nothing to to with this mess.
Tfp Optimus Prime: After seeing Unicron Optimus decided that he'll help soundwave with his plan and makes sure that whenever needed Unicron is distracted.
Tfp Ratchet: Ratchet decided to follow Megatrons lead for once and nope out of the situation taking the other three with him because he knows their impulses could get them offlined.
Tfp Bumblebee: Never gets the chance to interact with Unicron Because of Tfp Ratchet. he would probably freak out if he does met Unicron
Tfp Bulkhead: The only one not to have a big problem with Ratchet keeping them (him and the other two) away from the situation. the only thing he doesn't like is that Tfp Optimus is left alone with soundwave to deal with the situation.
Tfp Arcee: Doesn't like the fact that Ratchet dragged her away from the very dangerous situation leaving Optimus to handle it him self. She'd have a few choice words for Unicron if she met him though.
ES Megatron: ES Megs want to immediately do whatever it takes to get Unicron away from earth no matter what it takes. He's freaking out a little because Unicron could offline them all if he really wanted to.
ES Optimus Prime: ES Prime does his best to remain calm and attempt to help Megatron not freak out. he would do his best to keep everyone safe until they can find a way to get to proper safety

different anon but more prowlbee please? 🙏
-Prowl likes to fall asleep next to Bumblebee. He has nightmares during recharge that he only feels comfortable sharing with Bee. Bee doesn’t pretend to understand what he went through and Prowl appreciates that not only can Bee admit that but the mini still manages to make him feel better and listen without judgement.
- bee had a rough past that he never tells anybot about, only Bulkhead knows some of it but it’s vague and he put the pieces together in his processor. If Prowl asks Bee where the scar on his back struts came from that are around his door wings he’ll tell him in private about them being ripped off during sparkling hood. Its then Prowl realizes Bee did not have an easy going life cycle like he so often portrays.
- Its Prowl that suggests they go on a vacation just the two of them. They go for a drive around Michigan during the summer. Prowl can see all the wildlife he wants while Bee enjoys driving in the city and taking in the sights. He stays in disguise and finds them an abandoned shed big enough for the two of them. Prowl tells him about all the wildlife he’d seen and Bee tells him about the people in this city and their sights.
- contrary to belief Bee actually does like nature but only underwater nature. He’s a huge fan of aquatic life and drags Prowl around the sea museum in exchange for Prowl being able to drag him around a nature museum. Something about the vast ocean captivates Bee and even he isn’t sure why.
- Prowl and Bee take turns baby sitting Sari and while Prowl seems like the more responsible one its actually Bee. Prowl would give an eight year old a shuriken while Bee just lets her stay up past bed time. Bee knows how to compromise with a sparkling and when to let them roam free and pull in the reigns. He’s pretty easy going while Prowl is a stoic chaotic who is not allowed to watch Sari ever again after showing her how to make someones blood vessels burst with a two digit finger move. Bee yelled Prowls audios off for that one.

ALRIGHT WE NEED SOME WHEELJACK UP IN HERE. Headcanons of TFP Wheeljack reacting to a cybertronian flirting with him? And eventually becoming his S/O?
- Wheeljack is smooth and he’s always got a comeback, a zinger or if all else falls a couple of explosives with a half assed plan.
- Ultra Magnus arrives with his book of regulations and another bot who looks far too pristine to have seen any of the war.
-He thinks your interest in him at first is solely for the purpose of relaying info to Magnus. Even when you ask him for a ride in the Jack Hammer he is suspicious but agrees.
-When he returns from his jaunts your always among the first to go and greet him. A big smile and a shout of “Jackie!” Sometimes even beating Bulkhead to the punch.
Wheeljack has once again busted up his ship. The paint chipped or scratched away on most parts of it. Never mind the thruster that’s basically hanging on by a handful of wires. He’s crouched down examining it when he hears footsteps.
He knows your approach by the sounds of your quick steps. Always eager to see what mishap he’s gotten himself into. As always you only stop when your within arms reach of him.
You let out a long hum.
“It’s not too bad.” And as the fates would have it, as soon as your comment drops so does the thruster hanging by the handful of wires.
You flinch but Wheeljack just lets out a sigh and stands from his crouch.
“Not as bad as I’ve seen it but still gonna need a paint job… thinking of maybe giving it some new colors. Something bright so the cons have a chance to run when they see me comin’” he says with a cocky grin.
“What’s wrong with these colors?” You ask but he’s moved on to inspecting another part of the ship.
“Ehhh… kind of plain don’t you think?” He says picking at some of chipped paint.
“I like them” you say from behind him.
The ship is plain. It’s grey white with a handful of red and green streaks. Maybe Magnus has stomped out your creativity too. When he turns around to say as much your not even looking at the ship.
It takes him a moment to process why your even looking at him when it clicks. Immediately it’s followed by how much of a bolts for brains slag head he might be and that he’s lacking one of his creative comebacks.So he stalls.
“You like these colors huh?” He’s now giving you his full attention. Something you’ve been pining for for months, and now that you have it you can feel your face plates heating up.
“Well … yes. I think they complement each other. It gives off a certain…” you trailed off to ponder your next words.
“Allure…” you finish and he’s now standing directly in front of you.
“Allure huh?” He chuckles and your sure his voice is deeper somehow. “You sure have a thing for the Jackhammer to be throwing out compliments like that” He’s gazing down at your with half lidded optics. there is no way you’re going to make it through this conversation without combusting.
“Of course! You should keep it exactly the way it is” you stammer realizing your vocal pitch is all over the place. And his grin slowly begins to take shape.
“Maybe I’ll throw in some Y/C… might be nice to see all those colors together” He realizes it’s not his best line but he’s pretty sure it’s hit the mark because your fans are starting to kick it up a notch. He snakes his hand around your wrist to pull you in a bit closer.
You go to open your mouth but Magnus’s booming voice nearly launches you out of your plates.
“Y/N!” And suddenly he’s in the room with the both of you and Wheeljack has tightened his grip on your wrist so you can’t move too far. And of course Magnus locks in on it.
Offlining would be a mercy at this point as your mentor seems to be intent on chopping off Wheeljacks hand with his gaze alone.
“You have duties to attend to correct?” You recognize the order in his voice and you respond with a hurried “yes sir” before pulling away from Wheeljack.
As you pass by Magnus you hear him begin to follow you out. Though Jackie’s voice rings loud and clear out across the bay.
“Catch you later sweet spark! I think having Y/C on my hood would look real nice”
If your fans weren’t so loud you could probably hear Magnus’s teeth cracking.
AN- I head cannon that my man lays it on thick once he gets the hint. Sometimes it might be corny but other times… vroom vroom. He’s the kind of mech who likes to see his s/o get flustered first so prepare yourself for him to go 0 to 100 real quick 😭

hi boat mutual you are in my fav mutuals circle. why is the RMS olympic ur fav ocean liner?
OOOOoooooh thank you SO much for asking. So, I measure ocean liners by a few criteria. External Appearance, Internal Appearance, Career, Speed (relative to the fastest liner of her time), etc.
In terms of External Appearance, I like the Olympic. She’s not my favorite, I think I might prefer the SS United States or the Queen Mary, MAYBE even the Mauretania too, but that's tough. Anyway, I love the shape of the Olympics forward superstructure. I think she pulls off the relatively square/flat superstructure much better than ships like the Aquitania. I think Aquitania's superstructure might just be ever so slightly too tall, but I’m not quite sure. I’ve also never been a fan of the split superstructure near the bow like on the RMS Oceanic and the Big Four. Anyway, The ratio of superstructure to hull to funnels is just fantastic. The shape/proportions of Olympics funnels are excellent. I also think the White Star livery suits her very well. Especially in the 20’s when her sheer line was lowered.
In terms of interiors, I absolutely adore the Olympics wood paneled Edwardian decor. I might be a BIT biased, because I have a much better understanding of the Olympics interior and decor thanks to Titanic: Honor and Glory. If I were to go back in time and sail on the Lusitania or Mauretania, I might prefer them, but the pictures can only convey so much to me now. I’ve also always preferred the Edwardian decor to the Art Deco decor on ships like the Normandie. Don’t get me wrong, the Normandie was gorgeous, but her interiors almost give me the vibe of an art museum. Cold, imposing, almost sterile. Not exactly a place I’d like to live for a week. The Queen Mary is much better in this regard, feeling much more warm and inviting, but I still just overall prefer the pre war decor of ocean liners. Olympic just happens to be my favorite.
In terms of speed, everyone makes a very big deal about how the Olympic class was just too slow to take the blue riband from the Lusitania class, but the Olympic wasn’t exactly slow either. With an initial service speed of 21 knots, and a maximum recorded speed of 24 knots, she was still very fast compared to most liners of her day, especially compared to the Big Four, which could only go between 16 and 18 knots.
However, standing above all else is the Olympics career, which for me, is what makes her stand above the rest.
When the Lusitania was launched, she beat the previous ship in terms of size by 6,969 gross registered tons. When the Olympic was launched, she beat the Lusitania by nearly twice that, being 13,774 gross registered tons larger. (For reference, The Kaiserin Auguste Victoria was 24,581 GRT, The Lusitania was 31,550 GRT, and the Olympic was 45,324 GRT). At the time of her launch, she was the largest man made moving object ever built, by far. Shortly thereafter she suffered a collision with the HMS Hawke, but survived easily thanks to her watertight compartments. After the sinking of her sister, the Titanic, she was withdrawn from service and refit, introducing safety features that made her by far the safest ship afloat. She already was the safest before the refit, but the refit fixed some critical flaws and oversights by adding lifeboats, raising bulkheads, adding an interior second skin to absorb damage (remember this one) and plenty more.
World War I began in 1914, and the Olympic was once again withdrawn from service. This time, she was refit as a troop ship. During the war, Olympic is reported to have carried up to 201,000 troops and other personnel, burning 347,000 tons of coal and traveling about 184,000 miles. She survived TWO encounters with German U-boats. Most ships don't survive one, and in one of these two encounters, the U-Boat didn't survive! The crew of the Olympic spotted the U-Boat and managed to ram and sink it. The Olympic was the only merchant ship to have sunk enemy tonnage during World War 1. Can't say definitively for other wars, but none come to mind. A plaque was placed in one of Olympics first class spaces to commemorate the event. The second encounter went a bit differently. The second U-Boat actually managed to hit Olympic with a torpedo. Luckily it was a dud, and didn't detonate. The torpedo did make a small hole in her hull, but the double hull contained the flooding. The crew of the Olympic didn't know she was hit until she was put in dry dock after the war and they found the hole.
After the war, she repatriated Canadian troops and earned the nickname "Old Reliable". A dance hall was even named after her. She was once again refit, giving her oil fired boilers. This significantly reduced the amount of crew necessary, from (approximately) 350 men to only 50. Also, this change increased her average speed by a 10th of a knot, and significantly reduced the amount of smoke and pollution she created. She could also be completely refueled in a day, rather than a week. Because oil is a liquid, they were actually able to store it in unconventional places like the space between the double hull. This gave Olympic incredible range and fuel capacity compared to her rivals. Throughout the 1920s, she became extremely popular with the rich and famous. This was despite the fact that Olympic was no longer White Star Line's flagship. That title went to the Majestic, originally a German liner, but ceded to the brits as a war reparation. But as I was saying, her popularity with celebrities of the time earned her the nickname of "The Movie Star Liner". By 1934, the effects of the great depression had taken hold. Very few people were traveling. Cunard and White Star were in pretty serious trouble (White Star wasn't just suffering from the great depression, but that's a story for another day). Cunard didn't have enough money to complete the RMS Queen Mary and made an appeal to the government for help. They agreed, but only under the condition that the Cunard line and White Star Line merge. At this point, many Cunard and White Star ships were sold or scrapped to get as much money as possible for the Queen Mary. This includes the 3 remaining ships of the Big Four, and even the Mauretania. The thing that doomed the Olympic was her lack of private bathrooms. Standards for travel and comfort had simply changed too much since 1911, and the Olympic no longer made enough of a profit for Cunard White Star to keep her in service. She was sold for scrap, and by 1936, she was gone.
Anyway, sorry for the huge info dump. Tl;dr - The Olympic is my favorite because of her interesting career. I'm very passionate about the topic. Also, apologies for any inaccuracies. Most of this was from memory, but I made sure to fact-check all the big stuff and the numbers.

I am imagining baby starscream calling ratchet mama like miko taught him and ratchet just *hugs tightly while silently crying in pure happiness *
Adorable. I refuse to not write about this scenario. Ratchet needs this sort of affection gosh dang it.
Call him Mama, It will be Cute
During one of his stays at the Autobot base, the children ended up on sparklingsitting duty due to a handful of various reasons. And while Smokescreen was technically the one in charge, he was more interested in his video game than Starscream. As such he was not aware at all when Miko began teaching Starscream to say one word in particular while pointing at pictures of Ratchet. Starscream being the innocent little angel that he was, caught onto Miko's teachings quickly.
As such when the team returned to take Starscream out of Smokescreen and the children's care, Ratchet was hit with the biggest bombshell of his functioning. Never in his life had he ever expected to be called by any terms of endearment by a sparkling. He had always been referred to as Ratchet, Medic, or Caretaker by any sparkling he did have the pleasure of caring for. And so when he came to collect Starscream and was met with a joyous cry of "Mama!" he was speechless.
Ratchet: w-what?
Starscream: *making grabby hands* Mama!
Ratchet: *looking around just to be sure that Starscream was talking to him* Me? You are calling me Mama?!
Starscream: *smiling* Mama!
Miko: *quietly* Mission success.
Ratchet was not quite sure what to make of the human term of endearment but it still meant the world to him. It was not the same as being called Sire, Nurturer, or Caretaker, but it was still a wonderful feeling. He was hardly able to keep his composure as he picked up Starscream with utmost care and held him lovingly. The medic had to leave the room to go calm down once he had his fill of Starscream repeatedly calling him by the human title.
The team were left dumbfounded by the event both because of Ratchet's reaction and Starscream's seemingly out of the blue speech. And while they were left mostly in a state of shock for a while, a sense of rivalry quickly grew among them. Every single member of the team wanted Starscream to call them something now that Ratchet had been blessed with that honor. This led to more than one passive aggressive argument between different bots as they tried to convince Starscream to call them something.
Smokescreen and Bumblebee regularly fought over the right to be called "big brother", often leading to a tussle as they both tried to convince Starscream to call them by their desired title. Arcee, despite not being the biggest fan of Starscream, was determined to gain the title of "Aunt" even if it killed her, (although she never voiced this) and so quietly attempted bribery with energon goodies when possible. Bulkhead and Wheeljack very nearly destroyed their friendship with how hard they both vied for the right to be called "Uncle", with both trying their hardest to make life more difficult for the other until they came to a truce. Ultra Magnus, much like Arcee, also wanted to be called by a title and not so subtly tried to bribe Starscream as well, quietly warring with Arcee and trying to make his own bribes better than hers.
As for Optimus, no one besides Ratchet would have noticed if they cared to look, but he was vicious in his efforts to be called "Dad" or something similar. His methods were so subtle as to be non-existent to an casual observer. But by taking full control of handling Starscream's naptimes, he gained a whole window of opportunity to exert his influence. He had nearly an hour every single day to tell stories to Starscream and subtly point the sparkling toward calling him "Dad". And while Ratchet did see this effort, he did nothing to stop it so long as he got to handle Starscream's bedtime routine.
Of course once it came time for the Decepticons to have their turn taking care of Starscream, the team did not hesitate to rub their successes in their faces. Ratchet made quite of show of being called Mama as he handed Starscream off, much to Knockout's rage. And Optimus managed to get Starscream to call him Dad as he was returned to the Nemesis, prompting murderous glares from Breakdown and Soundwave as Optimus just smiled.
The Vehicons all immediately descended on Starscream like hungry vultures once they heard the news. Each and every one cooed at Starscream when possible, doing their best to draw out a call of "Brother" from the sparkling. Soundwave swiftly began fighting against Optimus, doing everything in his power to be called "Sire" in order to stand on equal footing with the Prime. Knockout upped his caretaking efforts in a desperate attempt to convince Starscream to call him "Nurturer" or any variation of mom that he could conceive. Breakdown also worked extra hard to make Starscream happy to try and get the little seekerling to call him some variation of Dad. All the while Megatron watched the proceedings with growing exhaustion as both Autobots and Decepticons began the most passive aggressive war of words and influence he had ever seen. More than once he retired to his quarters to drink his problems away as the conflict reminded him of dealing with politics far too much.

Valveplug with TFA bulkhead cause I need more valveplug of him especially with him being bottom and ending up a drooling, moaning mess
Despite the vast difference in size, Bumblebee and Bulkhead were quite sexually compatible.
Most of the interface between the two occurred with Bumblebee between Bulkhead's legs, with his comparatively tiny servos pulling and stroking the sensitive valvemesh. They usually did it in Bulkhead's room, taking advantage of the bigger space. There, Bumblebee could use his digits to their best ability on Bulkhead's array.
He could work wonders with those fingers of his, but the true key was in the use of Bumblebee's stingers.
“Yeah, you like that, big guy?”
Bumblebee sent another jolt of electricity to Bulkhead's anterior node. To a smaller mech, it would have a rather painful shock, but to Bulkhead, it was more like a love nip. Ratchet would probably chew him out for using his weapons like this, but Bumblebee didn't mind a scolding in exchange for making Bulkhead groan.
“Bee, ah —” he rumbled, voice almost drowned out by the whirr of his fans. Bulkhead couldn't see over his own frame, but he tried to glance down anyway.
“Yeah, that's right.” Bumblebee used his other servo to stroke the silvery-grey outer lips, down to the rim of the valve. He could see the line of circular calipers just inside, a deep green occasionally studded with silvery nodes. “No bot does you better than Bumblebee.”
He pushed one digit inside, unperturbed when Bulkhead groaned and tried to squeeze the rim of the valve shut. It was easy to find the nodes within, and even easier to press down and slowly massage the sensor-packed lumps of metal.
Bulkhead shuddered, his short legs twitching as his vents gushed hot air. “C'mon, Bee…”
Smirking, Bumblebee withdrew his servo and transformed it to a stinger. “You want some more of this, huh? Okay, then.” He pressed it inside the eager valve, feeding a low current to shock the tender insides of the calipers.
His other stinger was busy teasing the outer valve, sending blue sparkles of electricity across the surface of the metal.
It twitched and pulsed in response to the charge, the motion accompanied by the deep growl of Bulkhead's engine. “Ghh… frag, ah…” Having the nodes inside him attacked with Bumblebee's stingers was like a shock to his spark, his heavy-duty wiring heating as more and more voltage was pushed through.
The charge from Bulkhead's larger frame formed a dense, fuzzy field that crackled and flashed over Bumblebee's plating. The conductive metal of his stingers was especially sensitive, and he bit his lip as another surge pulsed through him.
It was practically magnetic, and he couldn't help but lean forward and drag his tongue over Bulkhead's massive silver anterior node. It was half the size of his head, a hard pearl of delicate sensors made slick and shiny from lubricant.
Having the big bot turn to uncured epoxy in his servos made his own valve twitch and clench around nothing, eager for his own release.
Bumblebee didn't have to wait long — between his tongue and the zap of his stingers, Bulkhead overloaded in a surge of charge that leapt from his frame to Bumblebee's, tearing a static-laden moan from both of their vocalizers.

Waiter! Waiter! Some TFA Bulkhead in heat please!
*all the plates i was carrying immediately fall out of my hands and i rush to you*
yeah, I can do tfa Bulkhead in heat! I think his early heat manifests as him getting even more clumsy on his feet and a little more dizzy. He feels weird and awkward when he’s around anyone else but he doesn’t want to bother them so he tries to just ignore it… until it’s just too late. Everyone can smell the heat off of him and it’s irresistible. Ratchet attempts to give him the scolding of his life for not coming to him about feeling the on-set symptoms, but he ultimately can’t be in the room with him for too long… no one can. Meanwhile Bulk is still trying to help out on missions as much as he can, which just leads to all the other bots getting distracted and fucking up more. Well, it’s clear they’re gonna have to snap him out of it. No other choice!
I am always a big fan of polyamory, and the tfa bots can't escape. You know i need them to take turns on Bulkhead. Fill him up with so much transfluid he's too fucked out to do… anything, really, anything that isn't presenting his valve and taking spike. I think he stays happy and loopy for a while, before the heat passes and he's carrying all his teammates' sparklings…

Heyo! This is my first time requesting here so I hope I'm doing this right 😅 could I request some headcannons for a gn! Reader x tfp!bulkhead? Just some general fluff for the big guy. He doesn't get enough love 😭 thank you so much! 💖💖
You are SO right, he does not get enough love!! We love Bulkhead, he is the world's most perfect man (Right next to CV!Grimlock, who, in my opinion, also does not get enough love)~Mila💟
............................. ....................... ............................
Going with him on coffee dates when he’s in holoform is a lovely experience. He’s become a favorite at the place his partner takes him, and everyone anticipates meeting this Miko girl. Him being a guardian for a transfer student got quite a few curious questions that both him and S/O answered as well as they could without telling the full truth.
His shoulder guards move up a little bit every time he sees or talks about his s/o. Even after the lovey-dovey start of their relationship mellows, this is one reaction of his frame that he can’t control.
He is a big cuddler. Just look at him, he is hug-shaped.
He gushes about his s/o a lot and Wheeljack has to hear about it, and enjoys poking light-hearted fun at Bulk.
S/O and Wheeljack  along would get along, but he just has to set the ground rule of "don't hurt the big softie"
To minimize the chance of getting squished, he enjoys when S/O sits on his shoulder when he’s at base and the kids are at home. Extra cuddle time too.
He has his music preferences (he’s a metal head (literally and music wise lol)) but he is not opposed to listening to other types of music with s/o if they aren’t a fan.
If S/O gives him a gift of any kind, he will ask them to keep it safe for him if he sees it as very breakable. He does forget his own strength sometimes, and would rather not destroy something precious like that.

Yeah, I am kinda picturing TFP Mikaela who meets another Bot or Con, I am partial to a TFP Style Deadlock who is more IDW inspired since I never watched RID, or maybe TFP Sunstreaker and emancipated Mikaela decides to move with her robot BFF/Found Family.
I am kind of inclined to both with Deadlock being disillusioned with the Decepticons and hasn't been in contact with anyone for years and treating war baby Sunstreaker, who is younger, like a big cat treats its kitten and paps him around when he fights him. So Mikaela has two Cybertronians.
Deadlock is paying back Mikaela piecing him together while he was injured. Sunstreaker had been locked in mode while in Decepticon custody and mistaken for a real car and sold and bought and hates humans but Mikaela found and removed the restraining bolt to free him an dthey bound.
Sunstreaker wants to find his missing twin, and Deadlock is basically neutral at this point since, as he puts it, "our species basically died out" and how Sunstreaker is the first Cybertronian he has seen in centuries.
So Mikaela shows up at Jasper to finish her senior year and help Sunstreaker track down Autobot signals and his brother while Deadlock acts like a bodyguard for the two he considers "youngsters".
Arcee and Jack try to "rescue" Mikaela from Deadlock whonis cruising with her only for Sunstreaker to come out and defend him (he's imprinted) and Bee and Bulkhead to show up. Deadlock is the oldest person here and tells them to take them in and neither Deadlock (out of contact for ages) or Sunstreaker (a war baby who does not know high command) expect to walk in and mest the Prime.
Sunstreaker is instantly on the defense and concerned, unsure of how to react and stiff and uncomfortable. Like Smokescreen more formal but also more traumatized and wary of Optimus. Deadlock meanwhile is very, very wary. Mikaela follows their cues but thinks Optimus seems sweet.
Optimus is looking up Deadlock with hopeful eyes and Sunstreaker with indulgent ones because he is thrilled to see more survivors.
I have more ideas.
Yeahhh rid15 Deadlock/Drift is very much more like bayverse Drift than IDW Drift (even though his backstory is more based in IDW), but I have recently been thinking about a blend of option one and three for my various plotlines because rid Drift's backstory of Megatron choosing against surprise fatherhood is funny to me. Plus Shadow Raker is kinda like if Wing was evil and goth, and Drift stayed/stays a bounty hunter. But also because I'm not the greatest fan of rid Drift's design (the colors are cool but the shapes just don't vibe much with me
rant about rid drift aside
But
Wait
Sunstreaker would be so interesting, considering how much of a bastard (affectionate) Sunny tends to be
Awww on Deadlock adopting Sunstreaker on the spot
And then Mikaela basically adopts them two yesss
"I swear, I was not kidnapped, I am fine. You might not be fine though in about two minutes."
The idea that they're all buttfuck terrified of Oppy right now is so fascinating because yes. He is the motherfucking prime. And it's funny that this is exactly the time for Optimus to pull the rug out from underneath them by being too wholesome for his own good.
