What would be the lost light crew’ reaction to being told how humans create life by pregnant reader?

Someone's going to come out of this discussion scared or with new respect. Since you didn't ask for any specific characters, I will be choosing them at random.

Hope you enjoy!

Pregnant Human Buddy trying to explain Human life to Rung, Nautica, Ambulon, Cyclonus, and Skids

SFW, Platonic, mentions things in pregnancy, slight angst at beginning, Human reader

MTMTE

Buddy was pregnant. One minute they were filing some reports for Magnus, the next they were in the medbay far from Earth looking at the paperwork that read that their pregnancy test was positive. Buddy immediately went to phone their significant other to tell them the news, only to find out they had left the country on unrelated things.

Now Buddy was left with the Lost Light, in space, with their future baby.

What can go wrong?

Apparently a lot. Who knew that announcing their pregnancy to the crew would lead to a Q and A. Each Bot had a number to wait for so Buddy could individually answer their questions.

Here are just some of the few...

Rung

Rung had already a grasp on the basics when it came down to human anatomy.

Blame him for being bored and curious on how his human friend's brain worked. He wanted to see how similar they were to a Cybertronian processor.

Rung does ask to touch Buddy's stomach to feel the baby. He is one of the few Bot's that feels the baby kicking.

"Oh my! What was that?"--Rung

"That's the baby kicking Rung. They wanted to say hello."--Buddy

"Does it hurt? They are kicking you after all."--Rung

"Nah, it doesn't hurt really. But it does make me want to pee."--Buddy

He becomes much more careful with Buddy as they get further into their pregnancy. Rung makes sure Buddy has a good net of friends they can call on in case they need it.

Nautica

Like Rung, has some of the basics down on human anatomy thanks to Velocity's studies.

When you have a friend studying this for years, you're Bound to get some of it stuck in your head.

Nautica is asking questions left and right.

"Do you know how many babies you'll have?"--Nautica

"Not yet Nautica, it's still too early for the ultrasound to be clear."--Buddy

"How many can you get?"--Nautica

"Well, that depends. I've heard some parents have six at once."--Buddy

"Wait... How do they get out?"--Nautica

"...It's a good thing you're sitting down."--Buddy

Buddy has to calm Nautica down after telling her about the joys of child birth.

Nautica is protective of Buddy and their little bun in the oven after that talk. She reads up on as many midwife books she can get her servos on. Just in case.

She loves placing her digits on the swollen belly. Of course she asks Buddy permission before touching the belly.

Ambulon

Ambulon is one of first in line for the questions given he is one of the only other doctors on board.

He already has a list of things to ask.

"You have cravings? Are they anything like what you usually crave?"--Ambulon

"Well now that you said that, I'm really craving some pasta with chocolate syrup and pop tarts."--Buddy

"... That doesn't sound remotely healthy at all."--Ambulon

"That's what the baby wants Ambulon."--Buddy

Ambulon is one of the first to see the ultrasound when it's time. The picture looked cute in a creepy way. He didn't know humans started out like that!

Silently crying on the inside when he feels the baby kicking. It's such a gentle little nudge!

He scans the photos of the baby for Buddy to have .

Cyclonus

Cyclonus said he was here because Tailgate wanted to be here.

That's a lie.

He was actually a bit scared of how swollen Buddy's stomach was getting. This Q and A could lead him to the answers he needs.

"There is a youngling... Growing inside you?"--Cyclonus

"Yeah, the little guys are growing in me."--Buddy

"Surely when they come out they will be a mighty warrior like their caregiver."--Cyclonus

"Aaww! Thanks Cyclonus! But it'll take some years for them to hold a blaster."--Buddy

"Yes years of training and the young one will hold it."--Cyclonus

"... Cyclonus... The baby won't be able to do much for the first few years? What do you think a toddlers just going to come out of me with basic knowledge of the universe?"--Buddy

"Are you saying that doesn't happen?"--Cyclonus

Cyclonus's Q and A were a bit longer than expected. But not the longest Buddy had to answer.

Cyclonus becomes one of Buddy's unofficial official bodyguards as the time for childbirth approaches.

Skids

He is one of the last to know about the Q and A.

Skids takes one look at Buddy's stomach and thinks they are going to explode. Thankfully Buddy managed to explain the Q and A before Skids took them to get their stomachs pumped.

"So there's a kid growing inside you?"--Skids

"Yep."--Buddy

"But did you just willed them to be there? Or do you have a Hotspot inside you?"--Skids

"What's a Hotspot?"--Buddy

There is a lot of cultural misunderstandings and learning involved in this Q and A.

Skids learn the dangers of childbirth through Rung and Ratchet. He is scared for Buddy.

He is a part of the unofficial official bodyguard group formed for Buddy.

Relationships Headcanon in the Ark & Nemesis

- Ratchet, Velocity, First Aid, and Minerva bitch about everybody after a long day. They have a group chat called Tired Medics

-Bumblebee, Rodimus, and Windblade act like siblings.

- Jazz and Blaster are best friends and they have a very strong friendship, very supportive of each other’s relationships with Prowl and Soundwave respectively… despite sometimes worrying about each other’s happiness.

- Bumblebee, Jazz, Blaster, Blurr, and Mirage are also hang out a lot as their jobs connect together and they are often giggling together.

- Rodimus, Springer, Blurr, and Arcee are conjoined together and have their own little friend group.

- Perceptor, Nautica, Brainstorm, Wheeljack, Greenlight, Lancer, and Skyfire are a chaotic bunch and you should run if they are in the lab together… especially when it’s Brainstorm and Wheeljack.

- Ratchet and Wheeljack are amiable exes who raised Dino bots together.

- Blaster, Windblade, Bumblebee, Sandstorm, Blurr, Cosmos, and Lightbright sigh over the fact that the love of their lives are the enemies… Soundwave, Starscream, Blitzwing, Octane, Swindle, Blast Off, and Sparkstalker think of them often.

- Same group of cons are glaring daggers at Breakdown and Knockout whenever the couple are canoodling.

- Cyclonus and Thundercracker bailed and are living their life with Tailgate and Marissa. Misfire and The Scavengers bailed too and Misfire canoodles with Swerve.

-The triple changers from both sides go drinking together.

- Don’t let Tracks, Powerglide, Blurr, Sunstreaker, Slingshot, and Mirage work together at Once… nothing can be achieved.

- Drift and Ratchet, Prowl and Jazz, Soundwave and Blaster, Hound and Mirage, Breakdown and Knockout, BW Silverbolt and Blackarachnia, Tracks and Raoul, Starscream and Windblade, Blitzwing and Bumblebee, Swindle and Blurr, Arcee and Greenlight, Dinobot and Optimus Primal, AND SHOCKINGLY Ultra Magnus and Rodimus are all the “PLEASE GET A ROOM” Couple.

- “Shameless but Cute” couples are Blast Off and Cosmos, Sparkstalker and Lightbright, Dust Up and Jumpstream, Powerglide and Astoria, Cyclonus and Tailgate, Road Rage and Náutica, Roadhandler and Cecelia, Skids and Charlene, Seaspray and Alana, Crankcase and Cons4Eva, Misfire and Swerve, Thundercracker and Marissa, Afterburner and Lightspeed, Octane and Sandstorm, and Tigatron and Airazor.

- First Aid has feelings for Springer and gets all flustered when he is around while Firestar stumbles and crushes hard on Velocity. Slingshot yearns for Silverbolt while there is a love triangle between Red Alert, Inferno, and Smokescreen as the two long for Inferno but Inferno loves Red Alert.

- Couples that are mostly “on the downlow and fuck like rabbits behind close doors” are BW Megatron and BW Inferno, Megaempress and Flowspade, Loudpedal and Exhaust, Perceptor and Brainstorm (but it seems mostly one sided… or is it?)

- Need “love advice”? Ask the sexiest not there is… KUP.

-Seaspray, Beachcomber, Hound, and Skids talk nature together and they with Alana and Charlene go on nature expeditions. Mirage would come but he doesn’t like getting dirty.

- Swindle and Smokescreen drunkly gambled together… once… no one knew what happened that night afterward.

- Onslaught is just tired, Vortex and Brawl share a brain cell but Blast Off holds it in tight custody.

- Grimlock enjoys spending time with the Scavengers and could be seen napping together.

- Prowl and Jazz spar a lot together. Jazz being the better fighter as Prowl can’t help but feel… drawn to it. His conjunx finds it adorable.

- Mirage likes to get dirty… with Hound. Poor Cliffjumper walks in on them a lot.

- Ratchet does the same with Rodimus and Ultra Magnus, Blaster with Jazz and Prowl, and Wheeljack with Ratchet and Drift. The Stunticons with Knocoout and Breakdown. Nautica HEARD Perceptor and Brainstorm but that’s it.

- Bumblebee and Windblade once asks Optimus about dating the enemy (regarding about Blitzwing and Starscream) and Optimus sighs thinks of Megatron.

- Ironhide would fuck Optimus in a heart beat. Chromia would gladly sleep with Elita One.

- Thunderclash has a crush on Rodimus but it’s one sided… my poor man.

- Rodimus thinks it’s a bit funny, adorable, and amusing Springer’s sheer obliviousness but tells him to keep his eyes out for potential lovers… you’d be surprise who you might fall in love. *nudges First Aid*.

-Fort Max and Cerebros comfort Red Alert and try to figure put how to help him woo Inferno.

- Mirage has an amusing relationship with Sideswipe… a good one though.

- Arcee and Lancer don’t get along. Greenlight is sighing heavily in the back as her conjunx and ex glare daggers at each other.

- Raoul, Astoria, Marissa, Cecelia, and Charlene are all beside Alana and Cons4Eva and sighing heavily at the chaos.

So, What Now?(Rehabili/Cohabi-Tation)

Chapter 3: In Which the Robots are Fucking Ballin’

FIC TAGS: Eventual Whirl/Cyclonus/Tailgate, Cyclonus/Tailgate, polyamory, slowburn romance, mutual pining, slice of life, fluff, comedy, eventual smut(planned for later chapters), sappy mushy lovey stuff, polycue, May eventually have illustrations

The Lost Light has a brand new universe to explore! But everyone's still tired from the old one! In the interim between wacky hijinks, a solution is offered to those bored to death by peacetime- Why form a club about it or renovate your hab suite of course!

Whirl doesn't know how he feels about all the pep. And even worse, he doesn't know how to feel about Cyclonus and Tailgate wanting him to join in on their clean slate.

Chapter 1 Here! Chapter 2 Here!

_________________________

Author's Notes: I think that all robots should get to play basketball as a treat. I also think they should be objectively bad at basketball to keep them humble.

CHAPTER TAGS: Humour, fluff, robots playing sports, robots being bad at sports, background Rewind/Chromedome(as god intended), banter, rivalries flaring up but in a fun way.

“And that, in its simplest form, is how you play ‘Baskets Ball’!”

Whirl squinted at Rodimus, peeking over Nautica’s shoulder where the would-be sports team stood to get a better look at him. He was holding a kind of flimsy looking rubber ball, occasionally bouncing it against the newly fitted gymnasium floor with a satisfying ‘Phoonk!’.

“Any questions?” Rodimus posed to the group, glancing around the crowd.

Whirl raised a claw. “Considering that some bots here can turn into aircrafts, what’s the rules about alt modes?”

Rodimus set his intake in an unamused line for a second, before venting and smiling big. “No transforming, no alt modes, just some friendly sport between bots!” He said, bouncing- or he thought he called it dribbling- the ball again. “Let’s pick teams shall we? Five to a team!”

Rodimus stepped back to let the group disperse and talk amongst themselves. Immediately, Whirl shuffled up beside Cyclonus, who in turn was shuffled beside Tailgate. Whirl waved a bit at Chromedome, who nodded in acknowledgement. Whirl looked around for a second, trying to spot Rewind.

Chromedome chuckled and pointed at a set of bleachers behind him. “Not his bag. He’s just here to record, he’s doing it for all the clubs.”

Rewind waved at him from his spot in the wings, sitting comfortably next to Swerve- the team’s referee, a wise choice considering he was the only one who had ever actually watched a game of ‘baskets ball’.

Whirl waved back. “He’s gonna have a lot to record then, there’s gonna be loads of these.”

Whirl turned back around as Chromedome chuckled in agreement, facing the other couple as they welcomed one of those lousy ex-cons onto the team. Lousy as in bad at being a ‘con, of course. Fuelpump? Was his name fuelpump?

“Welcome to the team Fulcrum.” Cyclonus said in that weirdly formal kind of way, pinning Fulcrum (OH! Yeah Fulcrum) with that intense stare.

Fulcrum cycled his optics, glancing around and offering a kind of weak smile. “Yeah man- thanks-”

Cyclonus then turned to Whirl, who fell in beside him quietly. He nodded curtly at him, turning his red optics on the competing team with a firm edge to his brow.

“Sizing up the competition, Teeeeeammmate~?” Whirl sing-songed, leaning his helm down until he was nearly touching cheeks with him.

“Mm.” Cyclonus grunted.

Whirl flicked his gaze over to the other five bots. Nautica, Skids, Velocity, First Aid, and Blaster. He glanced back at Cyclonus, who was now rubbing a contemplative digit against his chin. Whirl copied him with a claw and a high pitched scratching noise against his own helm.

“The odds are even here… We should consider their collective and individual strengths before we proceed.” He mused. Whirl nodded slowly, considering the easiest route to swinging First Aid by the pede joint directly into Blaster’s knees.

“Aren’t you taking it a bit seriously?” Chromedome pointed out.

Tailgate hopped from pede to pede, optics big. “We’re going to mop the floor with them, they’ll never play baskets ball again.” He muttered to himself.

“Alright big guy, take a vent-” Chromedome started, cut off by the sudden sound of a whistle being blown. The groups turned to face the source of the sound, a very amused Rodimus with a silver whistle between his dentas.

“Arright teamsh!” He called, before spitting out the whistle. “To your positions, who wants to do the tip off?” Wordlessly, Cyclonus walked to the middle of the court, facing down against Nautica as they both took an athletic stance. Whirl glanced at Tailgate, expecting some swooning, only to find the little bot vibrating in anticipation completely devoid of any affection. Had there been an ounce of love on the court, it had been traded out in favour of pure, athletic focus. Snickering, he glanced back at cyclonus, appreciating the couple’s mirrored intensity and taking up a stance along with them. Rodimus held the ball up high with one servo, replacing the whistle between his teeth. Whirl watched him countdown his digits on his free hand with straining anticipation.

Fweeeeeeet~!!

In a flash of indigo and magenta, Nautica snapped up the ball out of the air, ducking under Cyclonus’s arm and rushing for the opposing team’s net. She grinned broadly, ducking another swipe from Cyclonus’s servo attempting another grasp for the ball.

From the bleachers, Swerve shouted, “DRIBBLE! Ya can’t just carry the ball!!!” Nautica’s helm twisted briefly to look at him.

“Oh-! Sorry-” she started, clumsily spiking the ball against the ground, and directly into Tailgate’s chassis.

“I GOT IT!” He shrieked, awkwardly beginning to dribble the ball forwards across the court. Whirl took up his flank, looming a bit over him and glancing over his own shoulders.

It was in the instant that he had taken to peek at what Cyclonus was doing that he crashed directly into Skids’ chest, the two of them stumbling backwards as Tailgate made a break for it between the taller mech’s legs.

“Oi- sneaky fragger-!!” Skids shouted stiltedly, just as Whirl jogged after the minibot.

He was making considerable progress considering his size and inefficient dribbling. The ball would bounce a couple times away from Tailgate as he stumbled forwards to nab it back in his servos. He caught it back, letting out an almost involuntary cackle as he mirrored the stance Rodimus had taken and popped up on his pedes for a shot at the net.

The ball thunked against Velocity’s chassis, quickly cradled in her servos as she fumbled to begin dribbling.

Whirl spun around to follow after her, catching up and passing her but giving a wide berth as Chromedome flanked her other side.

“Er- Over to you!” She chirped out, bouncing the ball down to First Aid, who had slinked his way over to their half of the court. Just as the ball hit the ground, Whirl jerked a servo out, widening his pincers to welcome the ball home-

*BANG!*

The sound of squeaking rubber and grinding metal pedes on the concrete floor of the gymnasium game to a sudden halt. Whirl stared long and hard at the burst rubber now hanging from his claws. He picked it slowly off one of his digits.

Tailgate jogged up to him, peering up at the spent ball in his hands. “Uhm, Rodimus?” He called, turning to glance around for their ‘coach’.

Rodimus glanced up from his conversation with Rewind, finally noting the presence of the popped ball. “Oh- Sorry Whirl-”

“Ball’s kinda flimsy.” Whirl said, jokingly attempting to dribble it, letting it hit the floor with a pathetic smack. “Want me to sit this one out, coach?”

“Maybe it would be for the-” Rodimus started.

Cyclonus cleared his vocalizer. “Perhaps Whirl would be best suited to a defensive position.” he boomed, raising his voice just under a shout with a formality that was kind of weird.

Whirl squinted a little bit at Cyclonus. “Aw- and miss all the fun on the front lines, you wound me, ‘clonus, you wound me bad.” He gave cyclonus one big puppydog optic.

“We could fit some rubber tips over your claws, if you want.” Chromedome offered, reaching a servo towards his talons. Whirl snatched his servos back to his chassis, squinting at the broader bot for a second before rolling his optic.

“Yeesh- fine I’ll play defense or whatever.” He grumbled.

“Alright! Let’s start over, then.” Rodimus barked, wandering over to a metal cage full of auxiliary baskets balls. Whirl fell back towards the underside of the hanging net. After a few kliks of reset, Cyclonus returned by his side as Fulcrum reached the center of the court for the tip off.

“Thanks for gettin me stuck with you.” Whirl whispered at Cyclonus, raising his servos and dropping into a slightly lower stance. “I thought you’d be chasing TG around the court, not me.”

“I know when to pick my battles.” Cyclonus said dryly, mirroring his stance. Whirl could almost see his servo instinctively twitch towards a sword at his back, before coming to rest held around his abdomen.

Whirl rolled his optic. “I know when to pick my battles!” He mocked under his vent, wagging his helm back and forth a little before focusing up.

Fweeeeee-!

The whistle blew, cut off this time as Fulcrum lunged for the ball, half knocking over First Aid with a hipcheck.

“Hey-!” The medic started, cut off by Fulcrum’s even louder exclamation of “ACCIDENT!” The scavenger zig zagged down the court, skidding to a stop in his tracks facing down against Blaster, arms outstretched to guard either side of him.

Whirl’s optic twitched a bit, glancing at Cyclonus for a prompt. Cyclonus didn’t budge. Whirl swallowed a frustrated groan and hopped from foot to foot in anticipation.

“I’m open!” Chromedome shouted over the clanking metal din. Fulcrum tossed the ball over Blaster’s shoulder, landing it in the mnemosurgeon’s waiting servos.

Whirl fidgetted, clicking his talons together as Skids shuffled backwards towards their side of the court in anticipation of a lob his way. Defense was BORING. Whirl’s pedes clacked against the floor impatiently, his frame practically vibrating with pent up energy.

There was a loud, rattling ‘DONK’ as the ball bounced off the corner of the backboard, falling into Nautica’s servos. She wasted no time in dribbling her way over towards their half of the court, bounce-passing the ball over to Skids, who quickly flipped around with the ball in hand, prepared to make his shot.

Whirl’s optic shrunk to a point, all harnessed energy releasing in one sharp movement. “GYAHH!” Whirl cried, slamming his elbow joint up between skids servos and sending the ball flying straight up. It pinged off the ceiling, slamming down directly into the floor in front of Tailgate. The minibot swung his arms out immediately, almost by instinct grasping hold of the ball as it drove up into his chassis.

“IGOTIT!!” He shouted, hugging the ball to his chassis as he absorbed the excess kinetic energy skidding him backwards towards the opposing teams net.

The little bot clumsily dribbled closer to the net, crouching down tight. There was a flash of glowing energy from his visor, before Tailgate leapt upwards with a force so great it left cracks in the gymnasium floor. Two hearty white servos dunked the baskets ball directly through the hoop.

Tailgate whooped and hollered, swinging on the rim of the net as the sparsely gathered crowd joined tailgate and his team in cheering.

Fweee-

Again, the whistle was cut off, this time by Rewind smacking at Rodimus’s arms with a free servo- the other occupied in trying to cover his audials.

“NIIIICE PLAY!” Rodimus called, giving a big stupid thumbs up and a polite round of applause. “Take a second and we’ll contin-”

“I’d like to come down now!” Tailgate interrupted. The bot still hung from the hoop, kicking his pedes lightly as he swung gently back and forth.

Cyclonus jogged across the court, hopping up and gathering his conjunx in his arms to carry him back.

Whirl side opticed them, catching their hushed little exchange.

“You would have been fine just letting go.”

“And miss out on being carried?”

That remark made cyclonus crack a quiet smile, his chassis rumbling with a chuckle as the two of them bumped their fore-helms together.

Whirl rolled his optic, turning away from the two of them. Sickening, truly, they just let them get away with that in public? He felt a pang of something in his tanks, watching them canoodle like that. It was probably annoyance, definitely not anything deeper… or uglier than that.

Cyclonus set Tailgate down with a little squeeze on his shoulder pad. He then shifted back to his position defending the net beside Whirl, nodding at him quietly.

“... Good play.” Cyclonus murmured, clipped like he had tried to hold it in as he sank back into a defensive stance.

“Don’t hurt yourself biting back that compliment.” Whirl scoffed back.

“Bet there could have been a better one.” Cyclonus added, turning a blazing optic to Whirl.

Whirl felt a little flare in his spark, that familiar urge to compete blooming in his tanks in that way only Cyclonus’s stupid challenging could draw out of him.

“I’d like to see you try and top it.” Whirl hissed, craning his neck to get his optic right in Cyclonus’s personal space again.

FWWEEEEE-*smack* “Ow-! fine! God-!”

***

It had been a while since something had gotten Whirl to break a coolant. Baskets ball certainly did it though.

“Wheeeeeew, that was a workout, huh?” Tailgate huffed, vents going wild as he exited the gymnasium. He bounded cheerily down the hall, flanked by Cyclonus and whirl, both of whom were producing coolant considerably more than their Outlier companion.

“It was fun, but I dunno if I’m gonna be so cool playing babysitter for the net…” Whirl grumbled a bit, enviously eyeing Tailgate. He’d gotten to bound around the court the whole game while Whirl had been practically exploding with potential energy. Not fair at all.

“You made a fine defense.” Cyclonus observed. Whirl met his optics. Cyclonus’s dermas imperceptibly quirked up at the corner. “Just a fine one though.”

Whirl’s engine flared, his propellers taking a few indignant cycles as he pinned the mech with his optic. “I made the best defense, nobody’s ever defended like me even a little bit, nobody’s ever DREAMED-”

“Ahhh, hab at last!” Tailgate sighed, trotting up to the familiar purple door and tapping at the access pad. The door slid open and Cyclonus sauntered inside past Tailgate.

Whirl went to follow him but paused for a moment.

Tailgate walked into the suite, no goodbye, no ‘see you later’. Whirl cautiously plodded forwards.

“You coming?” Tailgate asked, as if it was obvious.

Whirl cycled his vocalizer a bit, searching for something to say.

“This doesn’t look like my hab suite.” He retorted sarcastically.

“Yeah, but it’s late anyway, come on, we can talk shop about our baskets ball game over some engex.” Tailgate said, all matter of fact like it was something they’d all agreed on.

Whirl glanced around, catching a peek of the window on the back wall of their new communal space. It was hard to tell, but he supposed it was a little late.

“... alright, but just for a little while, huh?” Whirl begrudgingly agreed, stepping in through the open door. It closed with a soft hiss behind him.

SPOILERS FOR MTMTE VOLUME 8 AHEAD!

Ratchet and Rodimus are Friends?

It’s interesting. There’s a conversation that took place in volume eight of More Than Meets the Eye that caught me a bit by surprise. Some of y’all are prolly way ahead of me on this and it was super obvious to y'all but I wanna talk about it anyways.

Before Ratchet leaves to find Drift he does a checkup on a selection of mechs because, he claims, of the possibility of them being infected by super scraplets.

He checks up on

Rung

Skids

Nautica

Ultra Magnus

And most interestingly: RODIMUS

He proceeds to call Rodimus out on how he treated Drift.

(Also Ratchet defending Drift is very sweet.)

Not going to lie, I thought Ratchet didn’t particularly like Rodimus. Or he just tolerated him. And based on some fan content I’ve seen, I don’t think I was alone in that. This above conversation could potentially even support that theory. That is until First Aid comes in and calls Ratchet out.

And then First Aid drops this juicy tidbit

Note the word “ALL”. Meaning Roddy wasn’t an exception compared to the others. Roddy IS Ratchet’s friend. It could be a recent development or it could be longer term, either way at this point in time they are friends to one another. This means that Ratchet is one of those friends who will be the first to call you out when you're being an ass and I really love that for him. The friend who tells you what everyone else is too hesitant to say.

With this knowledge, looking back it really makes the scene where Ratchet tells Roddy that he voted against him keeping his position of captain all that more impactful in my opinion.

Looking back there's probably a ton of things that hinted at a friendship between them. Like the fact Roddy chose to confide in Ratchet (if I'm remembering this correctly) about the list to get his opinion. That shows a certain value Rodimus holds of Ratchet's opinion.

Anyways I just thought that was neat. And I totally didn't pick up on the fact they were friends until this scene smacked me in the face.

More Than Meets the Eye #47 — Cyclonus Cries Alone in His Room Because He Wants to Hold Hands With Tailgate

Oh wow, a literal love triangle! I’m certain this will resolve in a way that’s satisfying for all parties involved, without any underhanded bullshit whatsoever!

The funny thing is, we don’t really know all that much about Getaway. We know he’s cold constructed, that he used to work for Prowl and alongside Skids, that he’s got an interest in Tailgate that he expresses in… dubious fashion, and that he’s got an unfortunate habit of standing in lighting that makes him look like a murderer.

But who is Getaway, really? What made him the man he is today?

Well, you see, it all started the day he was born.

Getaway of the Corcapsia Incursion is an MTO, who had his frozen spark ripped out of a cooler and stuffed into the lifeless husk that would become his body a few minutes before he got tossed out of the plane that was his birthplace. He didn’t want to fight, or do any of the shit he’d been told to do, so he high-tailed it out of there.

I suppose this is certainly a topic of discussion for a date. If you wanted the date to suck, anyhow.

Getaway and Tailgate are once again hanging out and drinking, because apparently they can’t have fun without being inebriated and talking trash about people who aren’t there to defend themselves. This little moment of vulnerability was in the middle of Getaway teaching Tailgate to speak chirolinguistics, because Tailgate is “disarming” and “easy to talk to” and “so much nicer and sweeter than his shitty roommate Cyclonus, who totally eats babies and no that’s not a euphemism”. Tailgate’s a little weirded out by the random diversion in conversation, but lets it go, since he is getting free sign language lessons out of this deal.

Tailgate tells Getaway about how Cyclonus held his hand and sang to him while he was dying, which reminds him how he never got those Old Cybertronian lessons from the big purple space jet. Getaway doesn’t seem to enjoy being compared to Cyclonus, or perhaps even the mention of him at all.

Then things get a little disjointed, as Getaway is revealed to have Nautica’s wrench, which he uses to uncover a hiding Ravage— except Ravage isn’t hiding, because this is a public venue and he’s a fucking adult who can drink if he wants to. Getaway asks Tailgate to come with him, so he can give him something. Most of these panels have the backgrounds blacked out. I’m sure it’s fine, and not symbolic of some shitfuckery going on.

Over in habitation suite 14, Cyclonus wakes up from his nap to find that Tailgate isn’t there. It is presumably late in the evening, though I’m guessing at this, since space is dark no matter what. Cyclonus heads over to Swerve’s, where he catches the grave sin of PDA.

Yeah, I know, you wanna hold hands too, you emotionally-constipated sap.

Cyclonus sits down at the bar, where Swerve seems to know exactly what’s on his mind. Letting Cyclonus know that Tailgate’s with another man, our barkeep gives him a free drink to nurse his wounds with. Cyclonus takes a shot, then goes to do something that appears to make him nervous.

Over in Getaway’s room, it would appear that Tailgate’s gift was a pair of clip-on mnemo-needles. Tailgate, while not wanting to seem ungrateful, is utterly baffled as to why Getaway would think he wanted surgical equipment, not even remembering the conversation they had about how cool Chromedome’s needles are. But I’m sure that’s fine, and certainly not something to worry about.

Getaway’s gift comes with strings attached, however, as the man stumbles through asking Tailgate a very important question. See, in order to become Conjunx Endura, you have to go through the Conjunx Ritus, which is broken down into four parts, which take place in a location that holds fond memories for all parties involved:

The Act of Intimacy — usually physical contact. Yes, getting your dick wet probably counts.

The Act of Disclosure — the initiator of the ritual reveals a secret or deeply personal information, which doesn’t exactly make them look good, showing trust in all other involved parties.

The Act of Profference — a present. Pretty straight-forward, despite the fancy name.

The Act of Devotion — I’ll let Getaway explain this one.

So where exactly does the consent come into the ritual, Getaway? Because it sort of seems like you’ve sprung a massive life change on Tailgate without any sort of input from him! Hell, you literally just told him what the ritual is! You two haven’t even lived together you absolute goon.

Tailgate, who seems to be feeling a lot of pressure to say “yes” to all this immediately, asks what exactly Getaway wants him to do.

While this sketchy shit is going down, we see where Cyclonus has gotten to. He knocks on a door, and is greeted by Whirl and a gun. Whirl lets him in, showing off his surprisingly nice room and collection of alarm clocks. When Cyclonus asks why he’s got roughly 300 clocks, Whirl tells him to fuck off and get to the point.

Cyclonus takes a seat and admits that he misses spending time with Tailgate. Well, “admits” in his own, Cyclonus-y way. He worries that Getaway is eating up all of Tailgate’s time, and also treating him in ways that maybe aren’t very good for him. Which he would be correct about, but it’s not like Cyclonus would ever stoop so low as to actually voice his concerns to Tailgate himself. That would be too close to admitting that he’s got feelings that can be hurt.

Whirl lets Cyclonus finish before laughing in his face at his audacity to think that Tailgate gives a shit about him or owes him any of his time, just because they share a room and did a spark transfusion. Which while harsh, is true. Cyclonus sort of talks around the real point of the matter, going so far as to say he cares about Tailgate, which for Cyclonus is equivalent to saying he’s madly in love and can’t live without him. But again, Tailgate doesn’t actually owe Cyclonus anything, especially since Cyclonus has refused to voice any actual concern about their relationship status, or Getaway’s whole deal.

That, and Getaway’s apparently hot. I don’t see it, but maybe Tailgate does. He’s allowed to want to fool around with a hot guy.

Cyclonus seems to have gotten what he came for, and decides to leave, thanking Whirl as he does. When Whirl asks why the hell he’s being thanked, or why Cyclonus sought him out in the first place, Cyclonus tells him that Whirl was the only one he trusted to give him the truth and not coddle him. With that, he leaves, leaving Whirl to think. Whirl, who has never had a positive relationship with anyone for more than two minutes without it all going to shit, is starting to feel something for Cyclonus.

The feeling is friendship. And maybe a little pity.

As such, he holds a meeting with his co-conspirators.

Oh, this can only mean good things, surely!

Whirl thinks that using Tailgate as a weapon is a bad idea, and Atomizer blames this whole situation on Whirl not dying at the hands of Megatron back in issue #28. So that confirms that Whirl didn’t steal that bow, but was rather loaned it for the purposes of suicide for the greater good. How does Getaway feel about Whirl’s sudden change of heart?

Well, considering he’s been literally grooming Tailgate for the role of sacrificial lamb, so they could get Megatron sent back to Cybertron/killed, I’d say his opinion doesn’t really matter all that much.

Yes, the entire relationship has been a farce, meant to get Tailgate to do whatever Getaway needs him to do.

We get a flashback to complete their conversation from earlier, where Getaway explained that Tailgate’s mnemo-needles would inject Megatron with an “anti-villain” virus, removing his bad thoughts and keeping him from ever returning to his evil ways! Wow! How convenient!

When Tailgate didn’t seem totally on-board with this plan, Getaway laid it on thick, appealing to Tailgate’s desire to protect the people he cares about. He also gave Tailgate the wrench to detect Ravage with, for the sake of protection. Tailgate is (quite reasonably) terrified by the idea of going to defile a former warlord’s brain all by himself, but Getaway understands! And if Tailgate is too much of a crybaby bitch to keep everyone he’s ever loved from being murdered, that fine! They just won’t get space married. Oh, but wouldn’t this stunt be just the thing to finally earn Cyclonus’s approval, at long, long last?

That last point is what finally cinches it for Tailgate, as Getaway knew it would. Given what he’s about to put Tailgate through, I hope it burns him up all even after all that work, he had to lean on Tailgate’s desire for Cyclonus to be proud of him than any love he might hold for Getaway himself.

Getaway explains to Whirl that the Ravage-detector on the wrench has been disabled, and Tailgate being beat to death by Megatron in a needle-induced panic will be a small price to pay for a genocidal maniac to finally be brought to justice. Atomizer stands in the foreground wearing some highly fashionable ominous shadows on his gun-toting arm. Whirl messes with his clocks while they converse, as if he knows what’s about to happen to him. Atomizer blasts him in the back of the head with the nudge gun while Getaway makes a bad joke, and the two leave Whirl on the floor to pass out.

Whirl, however, is much smarter than most give him credit for, and prior to succumbing to memory erasure, he pops on his holoform program, bouncing his avatar around the ship until he reaches the one guy who can and will go absolutely berserk to keep Tailgate safe.

With only a moment before she fades out of existence, Cyclonus gets the idea that something’s wrong and bolts for Whirl’s room. He passes by Getaway and Atomizer as he does, and Getaway has the gall to be cheeky about it. When he gets to Whirl’s room, Cyclonus finds the guy on the floor with a killer headache, and roughly twenty clocks that all read the same, incorrect time— 1:13.

Tailgate enters Megatron’s room at this point, not seeing Ravage on the floor by the recharge slab. Cyclonus sprints down, sword in hand, as Megatron is woken by Ravage and panics when he finds a guy with needles trying to poke him in the brain. Cyclonus rushes in before too much murder can happen, however, javelin-tossing his sword into Megatron’s chest and spin kicking Ravage into oblivion, before beating Megatron into unconsciousness with a flat screen television.

When will YOUR man do this much for you and look good doing it?

Tailgate takes Cyclonus’s hand and they book it from the scene of the crime. As they do, Tailgate realizes that Getaway’s gift and the anti-villain virus were both bullshit. However, we can’t fix the past, so now Cyclonus is taking them to the shuttles to run away from their problems, which is sad, because this is their home. As they’re running down the hall, the alarms sound, and Tailgate realizes something about his and Cyclonus’s relationship.

Tailgate, I know this is very poignant and sweet, but, again, marriage is a mutually agreed-upon decision, that happens after you two can actually have conversations about feelings that don’t require one of you dying.

The pair reach the shuttle bay, but Cyclonus is given a warning shot in the back by the security team, one of which has a machine gun. Typical wannabe cops. Cyclonus reaches for his sword, and this is all it takes for the entire team to fire on him, as well as Tailgate. Hey fuckers, swords are waaaaaay slower than gunfire!

Cyclonus scoops Tailgate up to his chest to protect him from the guns, his back getting blasted to pieces as he does. He tells Tailgate goodbye, then falls to the ground, presumably dead. The security team ceases fire, giving Tailgate time to cry over his dead not-boyfriend. Then this happens.

Just a typical Friday night in the sad, gay space comic.

Going to revisit her occasionally but for now fat Nautica looks like this! Was inspired to sculpt chub on her this way because of friends and a partner who really like the idea of fat Nautica, the waist-side red biolights’ shape are inspired from @minersedgarsart‘s illustration of fat Nautica feeding a Sharkticon with a fishie which you can find here https://www.tumblr.com/mineredgar/687794735136555008/sharticons-can-be-docile-pets-if-provided-steady?source=share. :3

ID 1 of 2: Standing on a trans flag with a sci-fi polityscape backdrop are some transformer toys. In the middle is Nautica (customized from Siege Chromia), who has a larger rounded chest and a downward expanding waist that droops a little at the bottom, and has grooves running along the sides and down the middle, with one big red biolight on each side. She is holding up her purple quantum wrench, and surrounded by Siege Rung, Velocity (TR Blurr custom), PotP Firestar, and MP Road Rage, who are all touch her, as is a barely visible T30 Skids. TR Brainstorm is holding her hand. End ID.

ID 2 of 2: A zoom out of the same image, with TR Nightbeat also visible behind Brainstorm, and TR Windblade standing alongside a more visible Skids, and T30 Chromia with an IDW1 Arcee custom (from Legacy Elita) who has an arm around her. End ID.

*Squealing in the distance*

Swerve: What was that?

Skids: Probably just Nautica getting excited about pockets.

Nautica, holding up a dress: Look, Skids! It has pockets!

Skids: That’s great, Nautica!

I think Nautica is a little underutilized by canon and fanon. She has only one toy despite being introduced with both Chromia and Windblade, they have way more and I can only find content of her when it's shipping related. Kind of a bummer, she's really cool

i feel like the way she’s treated as just another happy girl/“genki girl” by the fandom (and to an extent the story itself, as i feel like she wasn’t as utilized as she could be; i must admit nautica and skids hold a special place in my heart, though i do wish a lot of nautica content wasn’t just focused on him as well) really just proves that it’s what she wants to be seen as, even though throughout the story you can tell she doesn’t feel like she belongs amongst the autobots.

she’s really sweet and it still makes me upset that despite being introduced alongside windblade and chromia (the former being a rather popular character, though unfortunately the latter is either reduced to just a girlfriend for the former and/or vilified in fan content), she never really got the popularity i thought she would’ve gotten?

Inspired by @couldtheydestroythering have some rantings:

MTME Rung could absolutely destroy the One Ring and I believe he would have a functioning Fellowship to start with. I believe he could make it Mount Doom, but preferably with a companion. I think Fortress Maxmius would be the best companion but Whirl would make for a better story. Whirl, left with the Ring after Rung is captured. Gingerly picks it up and holds it out. Runs after the orcs. "Doc! Doc! You got to take it back!"

MTME Tailgate could destroy the Ring (too naive to be tempted) but absolutely needs Cyclonus to make it to Mordor.

MTME Cyclonus could destroy the Ring.

MTMTE Drift and Megatron would not even touch it.

Any Rodimus would not get halfway to Mordor.

Tfp Optimus could do it, but like Aragorn, he's needed elsewhere.

Nautica could make it Mordor but would be overcome with the temptation to resurrect Skids. Her companion would be Brainstorm, and he'd fall for the opportunity to save Quark.

Tfp Ratchet thinks he can do it but would become Warlord Ratchet.

IDW Ratchet would start, thinking the Ring being sentient was bullcrap, get tempted once and ditch that thing.

IDW First Aid could make it to Mordor, even Mount Doom, but Pharma will have to finish the job Golum style.

Do not give it to TFA Bumblebee! Or TFA Bulkhead! We will end up with a Golum, origin story and all.

Tfp Arcee would pull a Boromir.

This is the last time I request percy easily scared younger sibling

Buddy is a lot easer to scare now and probably needs therapy after been kidnapped

Percy and rodimus visit them more to make sure there safe and ok scared of anything happening to them again

Roddy and percey blame themselves for buddy getting kidnapped so they try to make it up to buddy by giving them gifts or roddy taking buddy on dates or just doing nice things for buddy

I really enjoy your writing

Buddy needs all the hugs they can get.

Hope you enjoy!

Bot Buddy Perceptor's younger sibling recovering from the DJD Kidnapping

SFW, Platonic, Slight angst, Romance, Familial, Cybertronain reader

MTMTE

It took a while for Buddy to get back on their pedes.

Both figuratively and literally.

The DJD torture session and the near-death experience did leave some scaring on Buddy.

They were surprised at how many bots had left a vial of inner most energon or gift by their berthside and room.

It was almost unheard of a bot escaping the DJD and living to tell the tale. Especially from a bot like Buddy.

However, Buddy didn’t feel lucky.

In fact, they felt even more terrified than before.

Before they could walk around the ship with no problem doing their everyday chores around.

Now they barely went out of their habsuite and if they did, it was usually accompanied by someone or with an array of weapons in their subspace.

Before they could uphold a conversation with almost anyone on board.

Now they barely looked at anyone in the optic anymore.

And no one could blame them.

They had an increase in visits with Rung happening almost every day.

Rung is just thankful that these meetings haven’t been as bad as when he first started with Red Alert. Though now, they were arguably the same or worse than how Red was.

Buddy refused to talk about what happened with the DJD or the escape pod.

The only one who knew was Rung.

Not even Perceptor or Rodimus knew what really happened.

Buddy’s jumpy personality turned from 0 to 1000.

The flight, fight, or freeze responses were much more noticeable with them now.

From completely booking it, to taking out their blasters and shooting, to completely freezing and feeling the rapid pulsing of their spark.

Some visiting bots who clearly had too much to drink thought it was a good idea to scare Buddy a bit.

Buddy had to get sent to the med bay again.

The mechs walking back to their ship laughing.

Whirl turning the corner.

“What are you laughing about?”--Whirl

“That scaredy bot! Oh! You should have seen their face when we scared them! HAHAHAHAH! Absolutely golden!”—Mech 1

Whirl looks up from his claws.

“Ah… So, let me get this straight. You numb nuts decided to scar Jumpy over there? The same bot who’s in the med bay right now?”--Whirl

One of the bots starts laughing harder.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Are you kidding me! That is just great! Bet they nearly had a spark attack!”—Mech 2

“Are you sorry?”--Chromedome

Tailgate, Cyclonus, Rewind and Chromedome come from behind Whirl.

“Psh! Why would we? We just got the drop on them and that’s it. They’re just faking it for attention.”—Mech 3

Skids and Brainstorm come from behind the bots.

Brainstorm looks extra furious.

“Attention!? That bot you decided to scare half to death went up against the DJD AND THEY ESCAPED! Are you even aware of the amount of damage you just did with your sick party trick?!”--Brainstorm

The bot pushes Brainstorm back.

Rung holds his arm while also looking angrily at the bots.

“You hurt them, and you aren’t even sorry about that? A bot who faced every Autobot and former Decepticon’s worst nightmare, and you decided to PLAY THE EMPERAN SUITE AND TASE THEM!”--Skids

The bots look more annoyed.

They don’t realize the bots growing numbers around them.

“And?”—Mech 1

One of the bots goes up to Skids and pushes him into Nightbeat and Nautica.

“We would do it again in a sparkbeat. Why don’t you just run back to your lab Pal.”—Mech 1

“Who uses pal anymore?”—Tailgate

“Not now Tailgate.”--Rewind

Brainstorm steps forward with malicious intent in his optics.

“Good to hear that then. You see the minibot over there.”--Brainstorm

Points at Rewind who was being held back by Chromedome.

“He’s got a camera bolted to his helm that has been livestreaming straight to the main brigde and the entire Lost Light. Now, my dear ‘pal’ you are going to get exactly what you deserve.”--Brainstorm

A furious Rodimus and neutral faced Perceptor armed with his rifle slowly walked to the group.

Brainstorm looks at the mechs behind him.

“Did you also forget that the bot you just put in the med bay was the Co-captain’s partner and Perceptor’s sibling? Hmm?”--Brainstorm

Brainstorm steps aside letting Rodimus closer while Perceptor took his distance with his rifle ready.

Rodimus flaming up his fists.

“Perceptor? Would you do the honors of starting?”--Rodimus

Two of the mech were shot down.

“Your turn Captain.”--Perceptor

Most of the Lost Light were ready to raise the pits on the bots.

Ultra Magnus took a blind eye when the mechs left the ship filled with dents, holes, and slightly melted frames. Even for him, that was a line crossed too far.

Buddy was surprised to see how many members of the crew had come to their aid and how many did want to help them deal with… this.

Buddy coming out of their habsuite a bit surprised to see Natica and Velocity at the door.

“Oh! Nautica? Velocity? Is there something wrong?”--Buddy

“Nope! We just wanted to take a walk with you.”—Velocity

“Oh, you don’t have to…”—Buddy

“Nonsene! We’re all heading the same place and we have so much to catch up on. C’mon!”—Nautica

Nautica extends her servo.

Buddy hesitates but takes it.

Nautica and Velocity flank their sides.

They have a nice chat until they reach Swerve’s.

Buddy’s servos start shaking a bit.

Nautica squeezes their servo while Velocity places one on their shoulder.

They gently guide Buddy through the bar until they reach a quieter place in the bar.

Tailgate, Rewind and Swerve wave over to Buddy from the booth.

“Hey Buddy! We saved you a seat!”--Tailgate

Buddy looks at Nautica and Velocity who nod encouragingly.

Buddy goes to sit down with the mini’s as Nautica and Velocity go on to another part of the bar.

Swerve slides them a drink.

“Your favorite. Don’t worry this one on the house.”--Swerve

“What’s the celebration?”--Buddy

“It’s been an entire week since you’ve finally gotten out of your habsuite. I think that’s something to celebrate.”--Swerve

Buddy looks down a bit.

Tailgate grabs their servo.

“It’s a great day Buddy.”--Tailgate

“And we’re all glad you’re here with us.”--Rewind

Buddy gives a small smile.

“Have I ever told you about how I met some local racers before the war?”--Swerve

Buddy knowing this story fully just shakes their helm.

“No, I don’t think so, do you mind…”--Buddy

“Oh! Well, it was a pretty drafty day if I do say so myself…”--Swerve

Rewind and Tailgate sandwich Buddy in a side hug while Swerve goes on with his story.

Little by little the Old Buddy slowly came back.

It was a bit, but it was progress.

Perceptor and Rodimus were two of the biggest helps Buddy had.

Both in their minds felt guilty for not knowing Buddy was taken and how they could have helped them somehow.

After Buddy was released from the med bay, Perceptor took some time off to be with them. Even when he went back to work, he started taking his breaks more seriously and started spending time with Buddy or trying to bring them to friendly outings.

“Buddy.”--Perceptor

“Percy?”--Buddy

“Brainstorm invited us to Swerve’s for a drink. Care to go?”--Perceptor

Perceptor offers his servo to Buddy.

Buddy thinks about it then grabs his servo.

“Sure.”--Buddy

They both walk down the hallway.

Every so often Perceptor would squeeze their servo gently as if to say: ‘I’m here.’

Buddy would give a weaker squeeze in response.

While he wasn’t exactly good at telling his feelings or expressing them in general, he made sure to let Buddy know that he was there for them.

Whatever they needed from him, he was going to do everything he could to do it.

There was an increase in servo holding between the two, especially in more crowded places.

Perceptor found out quickly that his talking and slight touches grounded Buddy whenever they looked particularly anxious.

He is developing a tracker for Buddy and an array of rescue devices for them.

If Buddy ever broke down with him around, he would first ask if it was okay to touch them. He doesn’t want to accidentally trigger them. If they don’t want to be touched, then he is going to sit right next to them while they let it all out. Then he’ll quietly tell them some stories of what happened in the lab that week. It usually gets Buddy’s mind off things.

If they do want touch, Perceptor is going to hug Buddy in a secure hold. He read that sometimes pressure was good in hugs. He might cry too if he feels like it. He won’t let go until Buddy tells him to.

He’ll end up letting go of the hug but will keep his servo in theirs.

Buddy sobbing on his shoulder.

Perceptor calmly soothing their back.

“Do you want to visit Rung now?”--Perceptor

Buddy shakes their helm.

“Do you want me to let go?”--Perceptor

Buddy shakes their helm quicker and hugs tighter.

“Okay… do you want to know what happened in the lab with Brainstorm today?”--Perceptor

Buddy pauses before nodding a bit.

“Well, Brainstorm had the ‘brilliant’ idea of hanging upside down again, but he forgot to latch on to his chassis and ended up falling straight on his face.”--Perceptor

Buddy weakly chuckles as they loosen their grip but continue hugging their brother.

Rodimus stayed by Buddy’s side any chance he got.

Magnus and Megatron allowed him some leave time to be with Buddy.

He found out that his touch and voice were also ways to ground Buddy from their thoughts.

He is pulling out jokes and sweet words of affection left and right.

He is going to make sure his partner knows that they are loved. Which led to many laughable and cute moments.

Rodimus slipped his servo into Buddy’s.

“And how is the prettiest bot on board doing today?”--Rodimus

Buddy is still trying to wake up from this morning.

“I don’t really know Captain…”--Buddy

“Aww Buddy don’t be—”--Rodimus

“I wouldn’t know how you’d be feeling unless I was sleeping beside you…”--Buddy

Rodimus just stops in place.

Rodimus ex has stopped working please reset your bot.

Buddy blinks sleepily.

“Roddy? Is something wrong?”--Buddy

“no—I mean—Nope! Nothing, nothing at all!”--Rodimus

“…If you say so…”--Buddy

“Did I mention you’re looking particularly radioactive this morning?”--Rodimus

“… I look what?”--Buddy

Rodimus’s mind is going ‘ABORT MISSION! ABORT MISSION!’.

“Ummm…”--Rodimus

Rodimus hugs Buddy.

Buddy is a bit surprised by the sudden hug but welcomes it anyway.

“Thanks Roddy.”--Buddy

Rodimus’s mind ‘MISSION SUCCESSFUL… kind of…’

It takes him a bit to realize that something’s wrong with Buddy being in crowded places at first. But when he does, he puts a stop to it.

Rodimus lets Buddy pick the date night activities and he is down for anything.

Cuddle? He is already on the berth.

Movie marathon? He has some earth films, and he can ask swerve for some movie suggestions.

He slowly gets Buddy to come back to their normal self.

If Buddy does break down around him, he is going to immediately go for a hug.

If Buddy doesn’t want to touch, he is going to sit by them and keep quiet for a bit. After most of the crying is done, he is going to try and tell a funny story to get them to smile a bit. After that he is going to whisper words of affirmation and affection to them while telling them everything is okay.

If Buddy does want to touch, he is going for it. Hugging them tightly and bring them in as close as he can. Most likely to act as the big spoon and tell them everything is going to be okay even when things don’t feel like it.

He isn’t going to let go anytime soon.

Buddy burying their helm into Rodimus’s neck cables.

Rodimus fighting some tears himself.

“Is this, okay?”--Rodimus

He hugs tighter.

Buddy nods.

Rodimus softly traces Buddy’s frame.

“Everythings okay… I’m here… Your brother’s here… the crews here… You’re here Buddy. I know it doesn’t look too bright right now, but I promise, you’re going to get out of this and your going to kick whatever nightmares you have in the afterburner.”--Rodimus

Buddy chuckles a bit at this.

“Roddy?”--Buddy

“Hmmm?”--Rodimus

“Thank you… love you.”--Buddy

Rodimus’s frame heats up a bit.

“Y-yeah… Love you too.”--Rodimus

Buddy is safe now.

They have a whole crew and family there to catch them if they ever fall again.

Rose walked into the room poking zir helm in. “H-H-Hello? I hope I-I’m n-not i-interrupting a-anything!” Rose said. Ratchet llooked up from working on Rung’s arm.

“You’re not interrupting anything, I’m just finishing working on Rang–” Ratchet starts.

“ Rung. ” Rung corrects.

“--And I should be there shortly to work on you.” Ratchet said.

“...O–Oh I don’t– I don’t I-I-I don’t need- need he-help.” Rose said.

“Then what are you in here for? I am back to the bone with other patients, I have Whirl, Tailgate and Rung in here, and there’s about to be 40 more possible patients.” Ratchet said.

“W-Well I-I-I wan-wanted t-to m-meet o-o-other bots, bots, bots,” Rose frowns, “O-Other bots.”

Ratchet sighed, “As long as you don’t get in the way of things then be my guest.” Ratchet said.

“Thanks for the fix, Ratchet.” Rung said, twisting his arm to test it out, “I suppose it’s Whirl’s turn next.” Rung said.

“Would I be betraying my profession if I said I was hoping for a series of distractions that would prevent me from fixing him for another, ooh, five hundred years?” Ratchet asked.

Rung by now, noticed Rose, and turned to face the cybertronian. “Ah, who must you be?” He asked Rose.

“O-O-Oh m-my n-n-name i-i-is-is R-R-R-Rose.” Rose said, introducing zirself, holding zir servo out for Rung to shake, Rung shook zir servo.

“What’s the matter with your voicebox if you don't mind me asking.” Rung asks, “It’s okay if you don’t want to, I don’t mean to intrude.” Rung adds.

Rose blinks, but Ratchet steps in. “We don’t know, I can’t divulge any further, patient confidentiality, Rung. All you need to know is that Zey had some sort of freak accident before arriving on The Lost Light and that it contributed to what is wrong with zem now.” Ratchet said, Rung blushes in mere embarrassment.

“A-Ah, understood, I nearly forgot about that. I sincerely apologize, Ratchet, but Rose, nice name, my name is–” Before Rung could introduce himself, Rung gets punched by Whirl. Rose stood on the sidelines to get out the way.
