I would like to request Roddy's reaction to finding out his older sister's crush on Swerve. I feel like it would be like that one scene from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Rodimus: Seriously, what do you see in him *Gestures to Swerve behind the bar counter*
Buddy: *Having a lovestruck expression while just staring at Swerve* He makes me laugh.
Oh it's definitely similar to that scene when Rodimus finds out his sister has a thing for the minibot.
In a nutshell...
Rodimus does not initially approve of Swerve being her crush, let alone partner.
He asks some valid questions about Buddy's interest in Swerve, but then they start leading into immature questions and insensitive ones.
Buddy tries her best to keep Rodimus out of her business after the ruder comments slip by.
Threatens to sic Magnus and/or Megatron if he doesn't stop.
Roddy ends up sulking for a while afterwards.

Bot Buddy being Rodimus's older sister and having a crush on Swerve
SFW, Platonic, Familial, Hinted Romance, Cybertronain reader
Buddy is a near carbon copy of Rodimus.
Key word ‘almost’.
Instead of sporting the red and oranges being her main color on her frame, Buddy has more blue tones with some yellow around.
That is where all similarities end.
Buddy being related to Ultra Magnus makes more sense than her being related to Rodimus.
“Hey Buddy! Watch this!”--Rodimus
Rodimus on the top of a tall shelf.
“Rodimus No!”—Buddy and Magnus
Buddy and Magnus look at each other in surprise.
“… I hate when you two do that.”--Rodimus
“Don’t care, get down here before you break something or hurt yourself.”--Buddy
“But—”--Rodimus
“Rodimus.”--Magnus
“…”--Rodimus
She was in fact close to him though.
Being a part of the Elite Guard for most of the war can do that.
The other part was stationed around communications and message relay for the Guard or the Wreckers.
That was where she first met Swerve.
It was purely by accident.
Swerve had been given the wrong number and connected her instead.
“Hello? How may I help you?”--Buddy
“You’re not Blurr. Who are you?”--Swerve
“You have the help line for the Wrecker’s and Elite Guard, do you require any assistance?”--Buddy
“Oh, no not really. I thought I had Blurr’s number. You know Blurr?”--Swerve
“Yes, I am familiar with the racer.”--Buddy
“Isn’t he the best! We were going to hatch a plan to build and run a bar when the war ended.”--Swerve
“Really? Blurr agreed to that?”--Buddy
“Absolutely! He even gave me his number, but I must have punched in the wrong digits and contacted you instead. Not that you haven’t been nice and all!”--Swerve
Buddy laughing a little bit.
“Its all right… umm… what is your designation?”--Buddy
“The names Swerve! And who might I be speaking with if you don’t mind?”--Swerve
“I’m Buddy—”--Buddy
“You’re THE Buddy!? Wow! This is just my day! I’ve heard so much about you and your work with the Elite Guard, The Wrecker’s…”--Swerve
Buddy gets a bit more comfortable on her end ready to continue this pleasant conversation with Swerve.
It was a slow day anyways… it felt nice.
That started a slow friendship between the two.
The chats had to happen on scheduled days since Swerve had a habit of talking too much and Buddy didn’t like to stop him.
Buddy refused to talk to Hot Rod about this.
Swerve was her friend.
Finally, someone that hadn’t been friends with Hot Rod before knowing her.
She was going to protect her friend’s identity as long as she could.
But of course, Hot Rod had a feeling his sister was hiding something from him and was going to get to the bottom of it.
Hot Rod dramatically draping his frame on Buddy’s berth.
“Why won’t you tell me!”—Hot Rod
Buddy rolling her optics.
“I’m not telling you squat Roddy.”--Buddy
Hot Rod suddenly sitting up.
“What if its… someone?”—Hot Rod
Buddy frame stiffens a bit.
“It is someone!”—Hot Rod
Hot Rod flopping on her back and starts popping her side annoyingly.
“Who’s the lucky bot who’s got my stuck up of a sister like this?”—Hot Rod
Buddy grabs his digit and slightly bends it backwards.
“Hey! OWW!”-Hot Rod
“Keep it up and I’ll bend more than your digit Hot Rod. Got that?”--Buddy
Buddy lets go of his digit and crosses her arms glaring at him.
“Fine, fine, I wont start talking about your secret—”—Hot Rod
Buddy judo flips her brother to the floor.
Hot Rod was over the moon hearing that there might be someone out there for his stuck-up sis.
Maybe it would help loosen her up.
Primus knows she needs to stop stressing so much.
Buddy just wishes that Hot Rod would drop the subject… but is secretly pleased to hear that he is happy that she found someone she likes.
…then came Rodimus Prime.
Buddy felt their sibling bond significantly weakened thanks to the matrix bonding.
Rodimus didn’t seem to notice but Buddy did.
But she refused to acknowledge it to him.
He was a Prime now, he had other things to worry about than her.
Just pushing through trying to get her work done.
Timeskip to the Lost Light…
Buddy was not aware that Swerve was on the ship until she got wind of the bar.
She walked in and zeroed in on the minibot.
Buddy walking over to the bar where Swerve had his back to her.
“Welcome to Swerve’s you see anything you like?”--Swerve
Buddy smiles a bit.
“Hmm… I don’t know you recommend anything Swerve?”--Buddy
Swerve stops cleaning the glass in his servo and turns around, wide eyed.
Buddy smiles a bit more seeing Swerve’s own face light up.
“Buddy!”--Swerve
Swerve reaches over the bar to hug his friend.
Several bots at the bar stop seeing the small bartender hugging one of the most strict bots on bourd.
“… 20 shanix that Buddy tells Swerve off.”--Skids
“Deal.”--Chromedome
“Domey--”--Rewind
“Wrong. 50 and she throws him out.”--Whirl
“She wouldn’t do that… right?”--Tailgate
Buddy hugs Swerve back while silent chaos ensues behind them.
So many bots thought that Swerve was going to die that day.
Rodimus had so many com pings within that hour.
He brushes the pings off like a rumor.
Especially when he hears about something potentially happening between Buddy and Swerve.
… That changes when Rodimus starts to notice Buddy hanging out more and more at Swerve’s.
This was the first flag to be raised.
Buddy doesn’t ‘do’ crowded bars.
But he brushes it off as Buddy finally letting loose.
Rodimus is talking with Drift when he notices Buddy at the bar.
“Isn’t it nice seeing Buddy happy?”--Drift
“Hmm? Yeah… but it’s a bit weird seeing her out here.”--Rodimus
Drift raises an optic.
“She doesn’t like big, crowded places, it’s ‘Too loud and too much engex being spilled all over’.”--Rodimus
Drift looking at Buddy happily talking with Swerve at the counter.
“Maybe she’s here for someone?”--Drift
Rodimus downing the rest of his drink laughing at the end.
“Ha! That’ll be the day.”--Rodimus
One time a rather rude bot had come to the bar and demanded to know why he was cut off from the drinks.
All while he was slowly tipping to the side.
Buddy tried to de-escalate the situation.
“Listen, we are all civilized bots here. Lets just get you back to your habsuite or the med bay if—”--Buddy
The bot looks at Buddy and spits in their face.
“Can it! Your nothing more of a has been-washout-guards-bot who is only good for a pretty paperweight!”—Random Bot
Buddy wipes the spit infused engex from her optics, glares at the bot harshly, about to unleash the Pits when she gets interrupted.
“HEY!”--Swerve
Swerve stands on the bar counter gaining some height, his servos shaking at his sides.
“Don’t you EVER talk to her like that! Now. Get. Out. Of. MY! BAR!”—Swerve
Buddy feels her spark skip a pulse looking at the mini bartender.
The bot tries to take a swing at him, but Buddy grabs the fist in her’s.
Buddy’s optics blazing in fury.
“You heard the minibot.”--Buddy
Buddy kicks the bot in the back of the knee and throws the frame across her shoulder.
Marching outside and kicking the bot several feet away from the entrance.
“Get. Out.”—Buddy
“… She gonna be my Amica.”--Whirl
“Whirl, not the time.”--Cyclonus
“Well, I can’t be her Conjunx. Swerve has that covered; this is the next best thing.”--Whirl
“Swerve does not—”--Tailgate
Whirl points at Swerve still standing on the counter with a lovesick smile on his face.
“…Maybe your right.”--Tailgate
“Tailgate, Whirl no.”--Cyclonus
“Hold on Cyclonus, they might have a point.”--Rewind
“Rewind—”--Chromedome
Cylcnous puts a servo on Chromedome’s shoulder shaking his helm.
Chromedome sighs giving in as Whirl, Tailgate, and Rewind scheming in silence.
Buddy managed to cuff the bot and send him to Magnus.
The bot never came back to Swerve’s.
Swerve has heart shaped optics behind his visor.
You’d have to be blind not to see his clear ‘admiration’ for the former member of the Elite Guard.
But he is convinced that all of this will pass.
It’s not like Buddy would actually have feelings for him.
Meanwhile Buddy has started creating Swerve/Love playlists in secret.
A secret that she is taking with her until she goes offline.

Hello, is it okay to have a Nutshell Summary for Bot Buddy the Triple changer,
With Buddy having a daycare and taking care of kids including Sari, Does Sari get along with the Daycare kids, to the point they do activities, events, etc. W/ Sari?
In a nutshell...
Oh Sari absolutely joins in the activities!
Sari is one of the first children Buddy ever knew, of course she is going to be with Buddy.
It was a bit of a challenge to get Sari to get along with the other children in the daycare.
But with time, Buddy coaxes Sari to try to make friends with the others.
The most popular game the children love playing is playing on the 'Buddy Jungle Gym' (The kids climbing on Buddy's frame while they lay down).
Buddy is considering banning glitter from the daycare after The Incident.

Now I just imagine, in if Lithia still got the synth en inside her- I just imagine every time she’s see Airachnid- it’s on sight- like she would straight up running towards-
(ik it’s ooc BUT I JUST IMAGINING LITHIA JUST RUNNING TOWARDS AIRACHNID AT FULL SPEED MAX AND SHE WOULD BE LIKE- “why do I hear boss music?-“)
If Lithia still had Synthetic Energon in her it would be a headache and a nightmare for everyone involved.
As stated in the previous writing, Lithia does go after Arachnid, eventually she gets offline by Knockout and Breakdown.
BUT!
In the scenario if which Lithia DOES NOT go straight for the spider, I can see her definitely charging at her ON SIGHT!
This of course nearly gives Ratchet and Arcee a spark attack with Bee and the other suddenly realizing how much stronger their other medic really is.
Arachnid has to be extra careful going out because Lithia is searching for her like a blood hound.
Tumblr media
The Bots when they see Lithia sprinting at full speed at the murder spider.

In a Nutshell summary: In Tfa Lugnut's brother, What's the Cons' reaction to Lugnut's brother comes back from the other dimension, and also talks about Skyline and Silver Aid?
When Skyline's come back from Silver Aid's, does he tell to the Cons about his visit, especially to Megatron and Blackarachnia
Haven't seen these Buddy's in a hot minute, lets see what we can do!
Also Lugnut's younger brother's canon name is Bumper
In a nutshell...
When Bumper comes back from his dimension travels, he immediately goes on about the bots his met.
Too bad for him, literally everyone thinks that he fell down the cliff or somewhere higher and hit his helm.
All of it sounds to ridiculous.
What do you mean there's a nice version of Starscream out there?
Even if it is his 'twin', there would be no way they would be related, hypothetically speaking.
And this talk about a different, nicer version of Blackarachnia?
Keep dreaming.
Lugnut has the Cybertronian version of a Baby camera on Bumper for a couple weeks before the team convinces him to take it off.
Tumblr media
When Skyline comes back to his dimension however, everyone wants to know how Silver Aid is doing and if he saw Bumper too.
Sky defiantly catches a bit of disappointment in hearing that Silver if off limits with another version of himself.
Is it possible to be jealous of yourself?
Lugnut is particularly upset in not hearing any news on Bumper but he guesses there would be another time to see into that, right now Megatron is top priority.
Starscream watches his twin like a hawk for the next few weeks.
Sky is also no longer allowed near the Constructicons or their inventions without Starscream and another Con with him.

I’m just curious. Summary answer. How do you think Lithia and Arcee’s relationship would be? Cause we’ve established before that Lithia looks up to Arcee as a role model, and I personally think we can have some fun dynamics between these two, considering Arcee can be a savage disaster at times.
In a nutshell...
I see the dynamic between the two is between mentor and student as well as Big sister and little sister.
Lithia does look up to Arcee a lot and sees her as her best friend.
Arcee would see Lithia as just another kid on the team that she needed to look after.
It was Cliffjumper who got Arcee to open up to Lithia more.
Thanks to his nudge, the two managed to keep such a tight bond, even after his passing.
Arcee is terrified if Arachnid found out that Lithia existed and was close to her.
Lithia hates the spider with a burning passion. Its to the point were she is willing to override her medical program if she ever saw the spider hurt.

I just love the premise that, whenever Maxima or Lithia go "(Character Name), I needed that!"
Ratchet, who could be anywhere from the next room over, to on a whole other planet, just gets hit with this sudden, inexplicable feeling of pride pulsing from deep within his spark.
YES!
Ratchet just knows when his nieces/ daughter does something that makes him swell with pride.
It is an extra sense he acquired over time.
Some examples are and not limited to...
Maxima: *Sees Smokescreen crush her paper mache volcano that she had been working on with Raf all afternoon* Smokescreen! I needed that! Ratchet: *By his work station* What is this feeling...
Lithia showing Bumblebee how to correctly use a laser scalpel Lithia: Bee your holding it wrong-- Bee accidentally cuts another tool with the laser, Lithia: *Taking a big vent* Bee... I was going to need that for later. Ratchet: *Picking up Raf from school* There it is again. Raf: What's there again? Ratchet: A sense of pride in someone else...
Ophelia and Steve helping Fix-it fix a stasis pods door. Ophelia: I think we are just about-- Steve: *Sees a large shadow rapidly descending on the group and scoops his Conjunx and Fix-it before it came crashing down* The three of them look over at a fallen Sideswipe as he gets a mangled tool from his backside. Ophelia: Sideswipe! We need that. Sideswipe: Oops... Ratchet: *On the road somewhere* ...Where is this coming from...
Rapidfire: *Trying to fix the ship* Can someone pass me my wrench? CRUNCH! Rapidfire looks at a guilty Bulkhead and a squashed wrench under his pede. Rapidfire: *Takes a deep vent* Bulkhead, I needed that! Ratchet:*In one of the storage rooms* ... I feel understood somehow... maybe I should get in an extra hour of recharge...
Bonus!
Iron Bolt is the official name for Bulkhead's daughter with the opposite personality
Iron Bolt: * under the main computers desk fixing a glitch in the system*: Can someone pass me the flashlight? CRUNCH! Iron Bolt immediately comes out from the desk to see Wheeljack holding the lob ball and the bits of the flashlight on the floor. Iron Bolt glares at the Wrecker. Iron Bolt: Uncle Wheeljack, I needed that! Wheeljack: Sorry kiddo. Ratchet: *Just walking into the base* My mood has just gotten better for some reason...

So thoughts on nutshell summary In Silver Aid, TFA Elita's twin sis:
Are you familiar a transformers short video or a clip, where Starscream became a leader of Decepticons and turns out it's just a dream?
If so, What Starscream would do with Silver Aid in his dream (would he put in chains like OG Blackarachnia or not)?
Oh yeah I remember seeing that clip!
The first thought that came to mind seeing it was 'This is all a dream' followed by 'I hope Meg's doesn't find out about this'.
In a nutshell...
I don't see Starscream putting Silver Aid in chains like OG Blackarachnia.
He wouldn't have a reason to do it.
Silver had been nice to him from the start and had helped keep the violence between him and Megatron down to the bare minimum.
If anything, Silver Aid would be right beside him as Second in Command.
A while back I wrote something about Starscream trying to get Silver on his side in exchange for being Second in Command.
So in his dream I imagine something like that happened.
Bonus!
When Starscream does wake up after Megatron hits him, Silver flicks his armor before helping Starscream up.
She knows he was dreaming about being in charge.
No explanation, she just knows.

Nutshell summary on What if Maxima got the matrix and became a prime herself? :3
Oooohhhh!
This is good.
In a nutshell...
Most likely would depend on the scenario when she gets it. One more willing than the other, both drives by duty.
Scenario A: After Optimus gets amnesia and has to take on the mantle
At this point in time Maxima is sure that Optimus may or may not have made the ultimate sacrifice. She has to face the possibility while trying to keep the team a float.
Since the Matrix kind of has a mind of its own, I see it start floating around Maxima wanting to get in when it charges back up.
Of course Maxima isn't dumb and knows what will happen to her if she does take on the Matrix. She would practically be throwing away herself and be created into somebody else against her will.
... But her team, her family, needs a leader now in their darkest hour...
To add salt to the wound, she would say goodbye to everyone before opening her chassis and taking on the Matrix.
The Matrix does change her both physically and mentally, now more suited to be leader material. And adopting a new name.
Maximum Prime.
Maximum would take a lot from her father in leadership but there would be times when the old self would appear.
Scenario B: The base collapse
It would take place when the original base gets compromised and Optimus stays behind.
Instead of Smokescreen staying behind, it was Maxima.
Absolutely trying not to cry her optics out see him on the verge of offline.
Stunned when he does present her with the Matrix, borderline disgust.
Optimus was giving her the very thing that robbed her of the one bot that truly cared for and was giving it to her?!?!?
She was tempted to use the hammer and smash it.
...but her family and the fate of the world said otherwise, so she takes on the Matrix.
While the transformation begins, she would hug Optimus... No, now Orion's frame one last time sobbing her little spark out into the night. When she becomes a Prime, she'll use the hammer to bring him back.

Human Buddy the 5 year old and Sunstreaker being their new guardian
SFW, Platonic, Familial, Slight Angst, Human reader
IDW
Sunstreaker had known Buddy since they were a baby.
Sideswipe and he were good friends with Buddy’s parents, who worked with the Autobots.
How did they all became friends? They don’t even know.
It was just decided that they were going to be friends one day and no one objected to it.
Buddy’s parents showed him Buddy first since Sideswipe was out on patrol when they came in with the baby.
“Sunny! You’re back!”--Sideswipe
Sunstreaker transforming and stretching one of his arms.
“Yeah I’m back.”--Sunstreaker
Sunstreaker looks at Sideswipe holding something in his servos.
“What you got there?”--Sunstreaker
“Remember the baby?”--Sideswipe
“Yeah? Weren’t they due…”--Sunstreaker
Sunstreakers optics widen.
“No… Sides that not…”--Sunstreaker
Sideswipe just smiles and shows his twin the tiny baby.
Sunstreaker looks at the tiny organic.
“They’re so small…”--Sunstreaker
One of the parents comes to the two.
“I see you’ve met the baby Sunny. You want to hold’em?”—Parent 1
Sunstreaker is about to say ‘no’, but Sideswipe already places the tiny being in his twin’s servo.
Sunstreaker freezes looking at the baby.
He raises one of his digits and raises it above the organic.
The baby, with a tiny bit of drool on their chin, raises their hands to the digit.
They giggle a bit patting it.
“…As long as they don’t ruin my paintjob, I guess the kid’s fine.”--Sunstreaker
“Sure Sunny, sure.”—Sideswipe
Sunstreaker sends him a look before looking back down at the new parent.
“Where’s—”--Sunstreaker
“They’re at home resting. Buddy was quite the fussy kid.”—Parent 1
“Buddy?”—Sideswipe and Sunstreaker
“That’s their name.”--Parent
Sunny loves the baby so much.
Not that he would ever say it out loud.
So does Sideswipe, but he is a bit rougher in dealing with the baby.
Meaning until Buddy gets a bit older, Sunstreaker is the one who carries Buddy, or it has to be under his supervision.
Sunstreaker claims a lot of the time to not care too much about Buddy.
That car seat and booster seat says otherwise.
“Are you sure that the car seat is strapped in correctly Verity? I swear it’s still loose.”--Sunstreaker
Verity annoyingly tugs the seatbelt harder.
“Hey!”--Sunstreaker
“It’s strapped in Sunstreaker. Nothing’s going to move it.”--Verity
“It better not.”--Sunstreaker
“Aww, Sunny you do care!”--Sideswipe
“I just don’t want the kid to smear their insides in me.”--Sunstreaker
Sideswipe and Verity having a flashback to Buddy fingerpainting on Sunstreakers pede and him encouraging their work.
“Sure Sunny, keep telling yourself that.”--Verity
Buddy’s parents started getting on more patrol together.
Which means babysitting.
Of course, there’s other reliable bots around the base who would love to babysit Buddy.
But if Sunstreaker is around, Buddy wants to be around him.
Does this strike up his ego?
Of course it does.
But he loves Buddy so there isn’t much complaint.
As they get older Sunstreaker sometimes takes them out of the base for a little drive around the neighborhood.
Sideswipe tried one time to sneak Buddy off into a drag race.
One time.
When Sunstreaker found out, there was just a yellow blur seen leaving the Ark.
Sideswipe racing with the other contenders.
“Buddy! We’re almost to the finish line! Can you see it? Can—”--Sideswipe
“SIDESWIPE!”--Sunstreaker
Sideswipe looks at one of his mirrors seeing a familiar yellow Lambo coming his tailpipe.
“SIDESWIPE I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME! PULL OVER!”--Sunstreaker
“NEVER!”--Sideswipe
Ironically, Sunstreaker won that race, but he didn’t notice being too busy hunting down Sideswipe.
Miraculously, Buddy was asleep the entire time.
Buddy’s parents soon start going on more and more ‘missions’, leaving Buddy alone with the bots.
As much as Sunstreaker loves babysitting Buddy, he does make a point with Buddy’s parents about being more present in Buddy’s life.
They simply brush the comments off.
Sunstreaker doesn’t like it.
Soon Buddy being in the base suddenly becomes a regular appearance.
Even if Sunstreaker or Sideswipe were out on a mission Buddy would still be let in the base.
The first time no one was let known that Buddy was going to be at the base, they just wandered around.
Sunstreaker nearly had a spark attack seeing Buddy on Teletran Ones desk looking downward.
His paint job was scratched that day.
Sideswipe is very concerned and angry too.
Shouldn’t Buddy’s parents be with them?
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe marching up to the human couple with Buddy by their pedes.
“Aren’t you two forgetting something?”--Sunstreaker
The pair look at each other.
“… I think we forgot to get the yogurt from the store—”—Parent 1
“Your kid! You forgot your kid!”--Sideswipe
“No one knew Buddy was in the base! They could have gotten seriously hurt if we didn’t come in.”--Sunstreaker
One of the parent’s huffs and waves their hand in dismissal.
“They’re in one of the safest places in the world. They’re fine.”—Parent 2
“And they’re FIVE! They need their parents around more.”--Sideswipe
“Again, with this? Look Sides, they’re still breathing and not bleeding, completely fine. And there is always someone on base, so they are never really alone.”—Parent 1
“But—”--Sunstreaker
“Hey, Buddy isn’t your kid Sunstreaker, so stay out of it. We are their parents, what we say goes. Your opinion doesn’t matter.”—Parent 2
Sunstreaker clenches his servos to his side but keeps quiet.
“Now, it’s date night and we have a reservation we need to get to. Buddy’s overnight bag is in the main room.”—Parent 2
“Wait, this isn’t over—”--Sideswipe
“Can’t wait gotta go, thank Sides! Thanks Sunny!”—Parent 1
The human pair races out the Ark in their car, leaving the Lambo Twins with Buddy in their car.
Buddy pats Sunstreaker’ digits.
“Sunny? Where are they going?”--Buddy
Sunstreaker glared at the direction of the couple before softening his gaze as he looked down at the child.
He reaches down and scoops them up.
“Lets just get you too bed Buddy.”--Sunstreaker
They pout a bit.
“I’m not tired.”--Buddy
“Sorry kiddo, it’s bedtime. Don’t you want to see the new room Wheeljack made for you?”—Sideswipe
“… Okay!”--Buddy
Sunstreaker feels his energon boiling.
After Buddy parents bring them back home, the five-year-old is absent from the base.
As much as it feels good for Sunstreaker to get his point across, he misses Buddy being around the base.
Two more weeks pass, while on patrol when he gets a message from Sideswipe about coming back to the base.
“Sunny! You need to come back to base now!”--Sideswipe
“Now? I am literally across the city.”--Sunstreaker
“Don’t care. Come to the med bay now.”--Sideswipe
“Med bay? What is it that I need to come back so quick—"--Sunstreaker
“It’s Buddy.”--Sideswipe
“… I’m on my way.”--Sunstreaker
Sunstreaker is lucky that there were no cops or cameras on the roads he was using.
He is rushing into the base scanning for Buddy in their usual spots.
Reaching the med bay and is greeted with the sight of Buddy playing patting cake on Sideswipes chassis.
Also, by the number of Auotbots in the room.
Optimus, Prowl, Bumblebee, Ironhide and Ratchet are present.
 Sunstreaker gently picks Buddy up.
Buddy is just happy to see all their friends in one room, unaware of the danger they were just in a couple of hours ago.
“What happened?”--Sunstreaker
Prowl steps forward.
“I was out on one of my patrol routes when I saw Buddy on one of the park benches near an intersection.”--Prowl
“Now? At this time? But its almost midnight!”--Sunstreaker
“Hush!”--Ratchet
“As I was saying, I saw a suspicious looking van nearby and took them inside and drove off.”—Prowl
All the bots in the room tensed.
“A van?”--Ironhide
“Oh yeah! There was a big white van! I kind of got scared seeing it, it smelled funny. But Prowl was there so I wasn’t scared anymore. And I saw a raccoon too! It was fluffy.”--Buddy
“I have already have a report on the van if you are wondering.”--Prowl
“I got drive thru on the way here!”—Buddy
Buddy pulls out a little yellow plastic car.
“Look Sunny! It looks like you!”--Buddy
Sunstreaker just looks down at the little kid smiling widely at him.
“Yes, Buddy that’s a nice car.”--Sunstreaker
He pulls Buddy a little closer to his chassis.
“Why were they out so late?”--Bumblebee
“From what they told me, their parents left them on the bench until they came back with the moving van, am I correct Buddy?”--Prowl
Buddy looks a bit sad at this.
“Yeah, they said they would come back. They promised!”—Buddy
Buddy looks at Optimus with slightly teary eyes.
“Optimus do you know where they are?”—Buddy
Optimus comes up to the child and softly pats their head.
“I’m sorry Buddy, I do not.”--Optimus
Buddy looks down a bit.
“Do you remember at what time they dropped you off at that bench Buddy?”--Optimus
“Hmmm… I think it was lunch time. That’s why I was so hungry when we got the food.” --Buddy
Everyone is furious at the news.
Sunstreaker wants blood.
He doesn’t care if those guys were once his friends, he wants justice.
The bots end up keeping a closer optic on Buddy until they eventually fell asleep.
Ratchet takes them to their room on the Ark.
It was now time to talk about what to do with Buddy.
It was clear that their parents had deliberately abandoned them.
“I remember hearing about the adoption system—”--Prowl
“No.”--Sunstreaker
Everyone looks at Sunstreaker.
Prowl raises an optic.
“No? And what do you suggest then? You adopt Buddy?”--Prowl
“…”--Sunstreaker
“Oh Primus your serious.”--Prowl
“Sunny—”--Sideswipe
“I want to, that if the system can even allow it. Let’s faces it, I’ve been more of a parent than they have ever been.”--Sunstreaker
Prime places a servo on Sunstreaker’s shoulder.
“Maybe Verity can look at that.”--Optimus
“Really?”--Sunstreaker
“Really?”--Prowl
“Yes, that if Sunstreaker understands the weight of taking Buddy in and raising them. Then I see why not.”--Optimus
Sunstreaker firmly nods with determination.
“I do.”--Sunstreaker
“Well, if Sunny thinks he can, I’m behind him. Anyways someones gotta look after the two of them.”—Sideswipe
“And someones gotta look after you guys too! I’m in too!”—Bumblebee
Ironhide places a servo on Sunstreaker’s shoulder.
“We’re all behind ya Sunstreaker. You won’t have to raise them all by yourself.”—Ironhide
Sunstreaker smiles at this.
“Well you can all save your voice box with Verity.”--Prowl
Prowl opens one of his subspaces with a data pad.
A data pad with the digital version of adoption papers.
“Prowl? How…”--Bumblebee
Ironhide chuckles.
“Why was that in your subspace?”--Sunstreaker
“Something that you don’t need to know.”--Prowl

Hello! May I ask on this nutshell summary about TFA Elita's twin sis
Remembering the episode where Sentinel's body had stolen, leaving only his head alive and can talk, since we see OP laughs, what reactions of Elita and Silver Aid (whether she's w/ Con/s or not) would be?
I love Optimus's laugh in that episode!
They should have included more bits of him laughing!
Anyways, in a nutshell...
Elita would definitely be laughing alongside Optimus.
No hesitation.
She knew Sentinel's ego always went to his head and would lead to his downfall. But she didn't think it would literally lead him to his downfall.
Elita would eventually helps Sentinel with Optimus and Silver with his helm.
(Not before taking some secret pictures though)
Silver on the other hand...
Internal screaming
As the chief medic, she's seen some pretty back injuries and had to put bots back together.
But never a talking helm!
She is glad that Sentinel is more worried about being seen by his superiors like this than worrying about how he is still conscious.
Silver Aid does a through inspection on Sentinel's helm making sure that there isn't something wrong with it. trying to remain as calm as possible while internally panicking.
As much as she wants to carry Sentinel, Silver understands that he isn't exactly comfortable with her organic side and makes either Optimus or Elita hold him.

Yo! I May ask, can I use these characters as ocs and such? Because these writings are so good and I’ve been thinking of making them as actual ocs :3
(+ their names as well cuz I cannot think of a good name too 😭)
As long as you do credit my work I don't mind it, especially the more detailed Buddy's. But other than that I'm fine with it.

Maxima slice of life
SFW, Platonic, Familial, Cybertronain reader
TFP
The kids wanted a sleep over at the base.
It took weeks of begging and pestering, mainly for Ratchet’s part in it.
Ratchet, being the softy he was, eventually gave the green light for the sleepover.
The bots themselves were curious on how these ‘sleepovers’ worked.
Bumblebee, Maxima, and Smokescreen were the most knowledgeable from the group having seen more human films with depictions of sleepovers.
The bots did join in, but it was three younger bots who mainly joined in the little games the kids had.
Monopoly was now banned from the base.
“You cheat! How dare you take the last railroad!”--Miko
“You snooze you lose Miko.”--Jack
“You knew I wanted that!”--Miko
“Think of it as pay back for money I had to pay for your house.”--Jack
“That’s it! I’m going to take your house and I’m taking Maxima and Smokescreen with me!”--Miko
“Fine! I’ll take Bee and Raf then!”--Jack
“I’ll see you in court!”--Miko
Maxima carefully reaching for the board.
“How about we play something else?”--Maxima
Eventually everyone had gone to sleep.
Except Maxima.
She couldn’t sleep for some reason. Tossing and turning in her berth she eventually gave up and went to the main room.
Maybe a midnight drive around would do her good.
She walked into the main room only to spot Raf wide awake on his laptop.
“Raf?”--Maxima
Raf jumps a bit and looks at Maxima.
“Maxima? What are you doing up?”--Raf
“I could ask the same thing. I’m pretty sure humans need more than 3 hours of sleep Raf.”--Maxima
Raf nods a bit before shyly replying.
“I can’t sleep.”--Raf
Maxima quietly walks up to him.
Raf wrapped his yellow blanket a bit closer to his body.
“Nightmares?”--Maxima
“No, just can’t sleep.”--Raf
Maxima nods in understanding.
“Same here. I was actually going to head to the roof for a bit, you want to join?”--Maxima
Raf nods his head a bit tightening his grip on the blanket again.
Maxima carefully scoops Raf up, mindful of the blanket, and quietly walked to the elevator.
Once they reach the top, she walks to her spot and lays down on the rocky surface, and places Raf Burrito in her subspace chassis.
There were still some stars in the sky.
The two begin to talk about life and retell stories.
“Then there was that one time I tried following Orion to the arena—”--Maxima
“Orion? Like Orion Pax?”--Raf
“Yeah, that was also the day I met Megatronus.”--Maxima
“You met Megatron!”--raf
“He was known as Megatronus at that time. Completely different mech than the one you know now.”--Maxima
“Really? I heard from Ratchet that he was a ruthless gladiator and was almost like a brother to Optimus.”--Raf
“He was ruthless in the arena… but to me… he was just my Uncle Megatronus, trying to do his best to help other bots around.”--Maxima
“…Do you miss them?”--Raf
Maxima pauses a bit.
“Miss who?”--Maxima
“Megatronus and Orion. Do you miss them?”--Raf
“… I miss how things were a bit simpler before the war, everyone does to an extent.”--Maxima
Raf nods, still a bit curious why Maxima avoided answering the question.
“But enough of that sappy stuff. Miko and I found some music the other day, I think you’d like some of these songs.”--Maxima
Raf slowly falls asleep on her chassis after a few minutes of the softer music playing.
Maxima opens her subspace in her chassis and puts him in there while keeping the hatch open.
She stays there on her back for a bit longer thinking about Orion Pax and the memories they shared together before the war started.
A few tears spilled as dawn was fast approaching on the horizon.
Carefully, Maxima gets up, to not disturb Raf, and goes back down to the base.
She exits the elevator seeing Ratchet and Optimus walking into the main room.
They must have wanted to get in the peace and quiet of the day before everyone else woke up.
Ratchet gave her a pointed look while Optimus gave her a questioning one.
She makes a shushing motion pointing at Raf in her subspace.
The two other mech nod as Maxima gently places the smaller human back in his place with the others.
She yawns a bit, venting softly.
Tenses a bit feeling someone pick her up and placing her on their back.
Optimus has her and pulls her into a piggyback ride back to her room.
“Optimus? You don’t need to do this.”--Maxima
He looks over at his sparkling with sleep in her optics.
“Really its fine I can get to my room—"--Maxima
Optimus only tightens his grip a little and walks to her room.
Maxima looks over at Ratchet for help.
He just smiles a bit before going back to work.
“Traitor.”—Maxima
Maxima lays her helm on Optimus’s neck cables and vents softly accepting defeat.
Optimus reaches the door to only then realize that Maxima had fallen asleep on his back.
“Some things do not change with you Little one.”—Optimus
He opens the door and makes his way to the berth where he gently places her down.
The Prime gently ran his digit on his sparklings helm like he did as Orion Pax eons ago.
Maxima lets a small smile slip in her sleep.
“Rest well Little one.”—Optimus
He gets up and softly closes the door before returning to the main room.

Gimme some nutshell summaries about Maxima’s reaction with Optimus death :3
(I am craving for more about your writings)
In a nutshell...
Maxima would feel like her entire world stopped hearing that Optimus was going to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Pure shock and horror.
She just got back from fighting for her life and now she was going to lose the only family left.
Definitely would have grabbed his servo before going.
Nothing said...
She understands what must be done, but Primus why did it have to be this way?
Maxima just wants one more hug before she loses it for good.
Shaking and holding onto Ratchet like a lifeline seeing her father leave.
A memory ingrained in her processor for life.

Maxima meeting Team Bee
SFW, Platonic, Cybertronian reader
RiD 2015
Maxima was not having a good time.
She had been searching for Bumblebee non-stop after he went radio silent for the past couple of weeks.
Maxima had been looking all around, asking for favors, and taking long hours to find him.
Until she got a vision from her late father.
Optimus Prime.
She thought she had finally joined him in the Well because she felt her spark pulsing out of her chassis.
He looked just how he had when… when…
His booming voice reached her audials like a nostalgic song.
Her own voice constricted in her throat.
Optimus tells her to go to Earth to help Bumblebee and his team.
A portal opened in front of her.
Without a second thought, Maxima ran in.
She lands straight into a scrapyard.
Maxima carefully looks around the place for any sign of hostilities.
She finds her first one in the form of a giant green Dinobot.
Grimlock had just come over to this corner of the scrapyard to find something Sideswipe mentioned.
Which now thinking about, sounded made up.
He did notice the mysterious bot in the corner though.
Grimlock and Maxima stared at each other for a bit.
“Ummm… can I help you?”--Grimlock
Maxima shakes her helm a bit and points at her Autobot badge.
“Friendly.”--Maxima
Grimlock relaxes a bit seeing that it was a friendlier bot.
“And actually I could use some help.”--Maxima
“Oh okay! What do you need help with?”--Grimlock
“I’m looking for a friend of mine. I was told I could find him here.”--Maxima
Grimlock scratches his helm a bit.
“I don’t know too much about finding bots. BUT Fix-it might know! C’mon! I’ll even introduce you to the team!”--Grimlock
Maxima smiles at the infectious grin on the Dinobot.
“Lead the way… what’s your name?”--Maxima
“Grimlock! And yours?”--Grimlock
“Maxima.”--Maxima
“That’s a nice name.”--Grimlock
“So is yours.”--Maxima
The two talk and walk to what looked like the main area.
There were three bots and an orange minibot on a ship console that was partially buried in the mountain.
The three bots immediately pulled out their weapons seeing Maxima with Grimlock.
“Hey! Hey! She’s a bot like us!”--Grimlock
“And how do you know she isn’t just lying?”--Strongarm
Maxima squints her optics a bit at Strongarm.
“Now why do you look familiar…”--Maxima
Drift steps forward.
“What is your reason for being here?”--Drift
“Grimlock was taking me to see a ‘Fix-it’.”--Maxima
“That’s me!”—Fix-it
Maxima looks over at the orange minibot.
“And why would you need to see Fix-it?”--Sideswipe
“She’s looking for a friend, right?”--Grimlock
“Yeah—Wait! Your Strongarm aren’t you?”--Maxima
“How do you know my name?”--Strongarm
“Team, we have a situation—”--Bumblebee
Everyone looks at Bumblebee.
Bee looks optics with Maxima.
“Maxima?”--Bumblebee
Maxima gives a smile while walking over to him.
“So, this is where you’ve been?”--Maxima
“Yeah—”--Bumblebee
Maxima slaps the back of his helm.
“Hey!”--Bumblebee
“That’s for leaving without letting me know.”--Maxima
Maxima pulls him in a denting hug.
“Thank the Primes you’re okay…”--Maxima
Bee, feeling a bit guilty, hugs back.
“…When did we get a new bot?”--Russel
“Sweet Solus Prime Bee! You already got found by humans again?!”—Maxima
Maxima makes a quick first impression with everyone on the team.
She makes it clear to Bee that she isn’t going to leave him high and dry.
Bumblebee is glad to have an extra pair of servos helping around.
She becomes his unofficial, official second in Command of the Team.
If he is being honest, he was a bit afraid of Maxima taking the reigns of the team and leading.
Maybe she would have a better chance at leading like her father.
“All I’m saying is that you could definitely lead the team.”--Bumblebee
“Yeah, if I must. I wouldn’t want your job, Bee.”--Maxima
“But you’re a natural leader, just like Optimus was.”—Bumblebee
Maxima pauses for a split second before turning back to her work.
“A natural leader? Yeah, that’s just called ‘Survive long enough for the original leader to come back.’ Bee, do you not think your team would riot if you gave me the command?”--Maxima
“Well…”--Bumblebee
Maxima gives him a stern look.
“You’re a good leader Bee—”--Maxima
“But I’m not Optimus!”--Bumblebee
Both look at each other in silence.
“Maxima… I didn’t mean--”--Bumblebee
“Bumblebee. No one wants you to be Optimus. Not Strongarm, not Sideswipe, not Drift, not Grimlock, and defiantly not me. We want you. You and all of your flaws, terrible jokes and racing stripes.”--Maxima
Bee looks down a bit.
Maxima pats his shoulders in reassurance.
“…I miss him too; I miss him so much Bee. But right now, I think he’d want me to talk some sense into you. So here it is. The leader who you are now, that’s what this team needs. I’ll step in when its needed and give advice, but I’m not going to lead your team, got that Bee?”--Maxima
“Yeah… Thanks for talking sense into my processor.”—Bumblebee
Maxima flicks his door wings a bit.
“Someone has to. Consider it my job to look after your bumbling behind.”—Maxima
Bumblebee swats one of Maxima’s tires.
“Hey!”--Bumblebee
It was quick work to get along with most of Team Bee.
Maxima, Strongarm and Sideswipe made regular sparing partners.
Who knew that a monster truck could have agility?
Not them apparently.
Sideswipe is a bit let down that he can’t patrol with Maxima due to her alt mode drawing too much attention.
But off-road patrols are the best ones yet.
Maxima lets him do stuff on patrol that Bumblebee doesn’t let him.
Strongarm respects Maxima for being a former team member of the legendary Team Prime.
Though there was a time where her respect was more on a ‘tolerance level’ than genuine respect.
Strongarm did think that Maxima was a little bit like Sideswipe but didn’t really vocalize it too much.
That was until Sideswipe tried to take advantage of Maxima’s lax and got in trouble.
Maxima was the first on the scene.
Maxima and the team looking at Grimlock stuck in a rock arch.
Bumblebee and Maxima turn back to Sideswipe with, both with arms crossed.
“Sideswipe. What you did was reckless and endangered not only yourself, but also Grimlock.”--Bumblebee
“It was not my fault that Grimlock fell in the rock! If he’d—”--Sideswipe
“Grimlock was your partner for patrol today, Sideswipe. You both are supposed to have each other’s backs, not just one. If we wanted solo patrols, we would have authorized that. You put yourself and Grimlock in danger when you started blaring the music too loud and got ambushed. Which brings us here.”--Maxima
Grimlock was stuck in his Dinobot mode and stuck on a rock arch.
“It could be worse. Anyways Grims fine, aren’t ya!”--Sideswipe
Grimlock groans a bit.
“Yeah I’m fine… when did we get another Drift… and Strongarm…”--Grimlock
Maxima looks at him unamused and turns to Strongarm.
“Strongarm, take Sideswipe back to the scrapyard, I got Grimlock. We’ll be taking the scenic route to get back before the sun comes up.”--Maxima
“What!?”--Sideswipe
“What?”--Strongarm
“You heard Maxima.”--Bumblebee
“Maxima, with all due respect, how are you going to get Grimlock out by yourself? Let alone get him back home in one piece?”--Strongarm
Maxima walks over to the arch and punches the rock at an angle.
The rock crumbles releasing Grimlock with a small thud.
Everyone was stunned by this.
“H-how—”--Drift
Maxima throws Grimlock over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes and starts the opposite path.
She stops momentarily and turns back slightly.
“You better have a good apology when you get back to the scrapyard Sideswipe because I can get pretty creative with enforcement when I want to.”
Maxima and Grimlock disappear from view.
“…”—Team Bee
Sideswipe looks at Bumblebee.
“Did you know she was that strong?”—Sideswipe
Bumblebee shrugs almost looking smug.
“She’s wrestled with Predacons bigger than Grimlock, Sideswipe. And she isn’t kidding about the ‘creative enforcements. Either.”--Bumblebee
Bumblebee transforms and drives out.
“That didn’t answer the question!”—Sideswipe
“Did he mention Predacons?”—Drift
“… Lets just get back home.”--Strongarm
 Strongarm defiantly looks at Maxima in a different light after that night.
She sees her as another mentor figure alongside Bumblebee.
Drift was a bit on edge with Maxima joining the team.
He did give the benefit of the doubt considering that Maxima was on Team Prime with Bumblebee during the war.
She couldn’t be bad if Bee tolerated her.
Drift truly began to open when his former master came back taunting him for his Decepticon past.
Maxima did not judge him or give him pity sympathy.
She earned some respect points from him that day.
The minis like to hang out with Maxima whenever they have a break.
She will come to the mini’s defense at any moment, something that he is grateful for.
Maxima shielding the mini’s with her frame from the Decepticon.
“Wrong move Con. Wrong move.”--Maxima
Maxima judo flips the Con and drop kicks him to Drift’s pedes knocked out.
“Where did you learn that kick?”--Drift
Maxima shrugged.
“Mulan.”--Maxima
“What’s Mulan.”--Drift
“…Russel! I have the perfect movie for tonight!”—Maxima
Grimlock liked Maxima from day 1.
She already seemed like a nice bot and boy was he right!
Of all the team, his favorite sparring partner was Maxima.
She could take in more hits and more time than most of the members of the team.
And did he mention how strong she was?
Sometimes Grimlock would start arm wrestling matches between the two of them on slower days in the scrapyard.
It was always fun to see how long each other would struggle to bring the other one down.
Bets have been made those days.
Bumblebee currently has the best luck in the betting pool for Maxima, which many don’t think its fair considering that he has known Maxima for longer, therefore, knows more about her than they do.
Drift and Sideswipe are tied at the bottom of the betting pool.
Grimlock also likes how Maxima refuses to hear the team treat him less.
That being said…
The team has learned that the duo sometimes cannot be left alone for too long.
“Hey, has anyone seen Maxima?”--Bumblebee
“Now that you’ve said it, I haven’t seen Grimlock either.”--Russel
“I’m sure they’re fine.”--Denny
BOOM!
Grimlock comes in running fast in.
“Coming through!”--Grimlock
Bumblebee quickly grabbed Denny and Russel and moved out of the Dinobot’s way.
“Grimlock!”--Bumblebee
“Sorry! Gotta catch this time!”--Grimlock
“Catch wh—”--Denny
Maxima comes descending from the sky.
Grimlock dives and manages to catch her in his arms.
“You finally caught me Grimmy!”--Maxima
Grimlock has a huge smile on his faceplate.
“Now its my turn!”--Grimlock
“Grimlock no!”—Bumblebee and Denny
“Grimlock yes!”—Maxima and Grimlock
Grimlock, with Maxima still in his arms, runs back the same way they came in.
Bumblebee sighs tiredly but lets out a soft smile.
“I’d just like to think what Optimus would say right now if he say her like this.”—Bumblebee
“Why Optimus exactly?”—Denny
“Oh yeah you two don’t know. Maxima is Optimus’s daughter.”—Bumblebee
“SHE’S WHAT!?”—Denny and Russel

Human Buddy accidentally faking their death with Megatron and Rodimus Prime
SFW, Platonic, Everyone is okay, Human reader
MTMTE
Megatron
The ship had once again been invaded by some space pirates.
Buddy was in charge of some of the cameras in the control room. Their job in the meantime letting bots know where the danger was.
Buddy looking at Screen 4.
Whirl was clawing one of the pirates. Another one was slowly creeping behind him.
“Whirl you got one on your left.”--Buddy
Whirl turns around and stabbed them in the shoulder.
“Nice one Whirl!”--Buddy
“You know it Fleshy!”--Whirl
Buddy had to keep an extra eye on Megatron.
Not just because he was a larger target, being the Ex-leader of the Decepticons and all, but because of his recent turn of pacifism.
He held back a bit too much, someone had to watch his back.
They were currently on the line with Megatron.
“Megs you have one on your right.”--Buddy
Megatron punches the invader in the center knocking them down.
“Nice—”--Buddy
BANG!
Buddy turns around seeing a giant hole in the door.
“Buddy what was that?!”--Megatron
“…Megs… they blasted through the doors…”--Buddy
Megatron stop dead in his tracks hearing it.
“What…?”--Megatron
Buddy just stared at the invaders, their blasters trained on them.
“I’m sorry Megs…”--Buddy
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
ZZZZTTTPPPPP
“Buddy! Buddy! What happened?!”--Megatron
“ZZZZZZZTTTPPPPP—Did you see that shot!? It went everywhere!”—Pirate 1
“I know! And that was your first organic kill, right?”—Pirate 2
“Yeah!”—Pirate 1
“We got to celebrate after this—”—Pirate 2
BANG!
Megatron appears at the door with a smoking fusion canon.
“Surprise.”—Megatron
Megatron nearly tears them limb from limb but is stopped by Rodimus and Drift.
He joins a small team to look for any remains or signs of Buddy.
Nothing was found.
Buddy’s name counted in the KIA.
A small ceremony is held the next day.
Meanwhile…
Buddy had been blasted into one of the nearby vents and fell to the basement.
How did they survive?
They don’t know but they aren’t complaining.
It’s a long climb and walk through the vents to get back to the control room.
It would have been a much shorter trip if their comm link and phone hadn’t been blasted.
They are confused when they don’t hear anyone in the controls room.
Buddy looks at the cameras and finds a huge mass near the cargo hold.
They can’t hear what they are talking about, but it looked important.
Thankfully the cargo hold isn’t too far from the control room so it’s an easy run.
They are quiet as they slowly crawl out of the vents and quickly move from the outside of the room.
Buddy is about to ask the nearest mech what is happening in the meeting, when Megatron is asked to say some words about Buddy.
Buddy stays quiet and sits back.
This was either going to be good or bad… but still!
How often was it to hear Megatron talk about them to the masses? Maybe it would be in poetry form too!
As well as figuring out what’s going on.
The Co-Captain goes on about Buddy’s positive impact on the ship and to their crewmates.
Even shares a little moment the two had together.
Buddy finds this very sweet, but then realizes that a lot of the tense he used were if they were already dead.
“No… they don’t think I’m actually—”--Buddy
“May they find peace now, till all are one.”--Megatron
“…They can’t be—”--Buddy
Several mechs start crying on the spot.
“…”--Buddy
Buddy climbs on some crates.
“I’M NOT DEAD YOU, OVERGROWN TOASTERS! I’M RIGHT HERE!”--Buddy
“AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!”—Several bots
… Maybe not the best idea.
Now there were bots on the floor and some screaming.
Megatron is running to Buddy with Ratchet and several other bots with more than one brain cell.
This was going to be fun to explain later.
Megs doesn’t leave Buddy’s sight for the next month.
Tumblr media
Rodimus
“WHY IS IT ALWAYS SPACE PIRATES?!”--Buddy
“It’s because humans and other organics are especially lucrative in this sector! These guys just want an easy cash and grab!”--Drift
“Well, they chose the wrong ship and crew to mess with!”--Rodimus
“FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!”--Whirl
“Yes Whirl! Fight!”--Buddy
Rodimus made sure that Buddy stuck by his side accompanied by some of the members of the Rod Squad.
With the increasing damage being done to the hull, Buddy feels bad for it. They feel that most of it being their fault.
They decided to make a gamble to get rid of these space pirates once and for all.
They yell for the invaders to come and get them.
The invaders follow them into an escape pod.
The pod closed its doors and was launched out of the Lost Light.
Rodimus and the others are trying to run to the escape pod.
No one knew that Buddy had trained an automatic missile to the pod.
The bots still think that Buddy is in the pod.
So many bots have a front row seat to the pod exploding.
Rodimus screams the loudest.
Buddy in the meantime was catching their breath in one of the vents.
The adrenaline was wearing off and they were tired.
A nap sounded real nice.
But the loud crying got them back on their feet trudging to the opening.
Buddy looking at Rodimus on his knees with Drift trying to support his shoulders so as not to crumble to the ground.
Buddy pushes the vent cover and crawls out.
“Roddy? Drift? What’s going—Ah!”--Buddy
Rodimus scoops up Buddy and holds them close to his chassis. Drift was holding him close and placed a cupped servo over his chanting softly.
Buddy’s face is slightly smushed into Rodimus’s chassis.
“Roddy?”--Buddy
They look up to see tears coming out of his optics.
Maybe an explanation could move to later.
