Transformers robots in disguise 2015 "the Shadow lurks:
chapter 3: dwelling
Jetstorm awoke with a gasp, he'd had another nightmare.
He pulled his knees up to his chest as tears rolled from his optics, he could feel his whole frame trembling.
He hated these nightmares, but he just couldn't get rid of them, why couldn't they just go away.
Sighing he got up from his berth and grabbed the music player Sideswipe had gotten him for his birthday a few months ago and as quietly as he could left their room to get a cube of energon.
After drinking the energon cube he sat atop the ledge overlooking the scrapyard.
He reached over for his music player and for a while simply basked in the melodious feeling that the music provided.
He sat like this for a while before getting up and deciding to head back to the scrapyard.
As he got up, the song "creep" started playing on Jetstorm's music player.
Despite the overall dark tone of the song he rather liked it, in a way it resonated with him.
The song played as he walked back down to the scrapyard and through the gates.
He came to a stop in front of a stasis pod and shuddered at the form inside.
It was him.
Even unconscious Shadow Raker's form seemed to sneer down at him, Jetstorm shivered at the unpleasant memories just looking at his former master gave him, yet at the same time he couldn't look away.
Jetstorm was worried that Shadow Raker would break out and most likely come after him and his brother.
Drift had assured both him and Slipstream that the pod was sealed tight and there was no way Shadow Raker would escape.
But for once Jetstorm didn't fully believe his teacher.
He knew fine well Shadow Raker has escaped far worse than this and he had a nagging suspicion thst he wasn't quite through seeing his former master yet.
Unable to look at the pod anymore Jetstorm went to the command center and sat down against the cold metal exterior that was the former front section of the Alchemor.
He reached for his music player and turned it back on.
Jetstorm could feel his optics becoming heavier and heavier and at some point the darkness swallowed him whole.
Meanwhile Optimus was approaching the command center.
He had gone for a night time drive, as he often did to try and relax and was just returning.
When he returned he recognised the faint sound of what he recognised as Music playing from near the command center.
He arrived at the command center and saw a form he recognised as Jetstorm passed out in front of him.
Worried he knelt down and performed a quick scan of the young minicon relieved to find he was only recharging.
However he decided he would have Ratchet check him over just in case.
Comming Ratchet to meet him at the medical tent Optimus picked up Jetstorm and carried him with ease to the medical tent.
Ratchet met him at the tent alongside Drift.
"Is he alright?" Drift asked looking extremely worried.
"He's fine Drift, I just want Ratchet to run a few scans just to be sure." Optimus said.
Drift nodded though he didn't look very reassured.
Optimus lay Jetstorm down on the berth.
Ratchet ran his scanner over the young minicon.
Once that was done he looked at the results.
"Drift, has he been sleeping?" Ratchet asked.
"He says he has, but I honestly doubt he has." Drift said.
"Well he definitely hasn't, he hasn't slept in 2 weeks, his systems eventually crashed as a result." Ratchet said.
"What can I do to help him?" Drift asked.
"I'm going to give him a sedative to help him tonight, but I suggest trying to talk to him, if he won't talk to you I would suggest someone who knows how to deal with trauma like his." Ratchet said.
"Windblade mentioned she had a friend named Chromia who is a therapist, she said she would talk to her about getting her to talk to Jetstorm, I may have her talk to Slipstream as well, he hasn't said so but I believe he is also suffering." Drift said.
"Good idea, I know very well about this sort of thing." Ratchet said nodding.
Ratchet went to prep the sedative.
Drift looked over at Jetstorm who had begun to stir.
"Huh, what's going on?" Jetstorm asked in a panicked voice looking around rapidly.
Before Drift could do anything Optimus went over to Jetstorm and put a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
"Everything is alright, you should be resting young one." Optimus said in a reassuring voice.
"I can't, I'm scared." Jetstorm said tears streaming from his optics.
"Everything is alright little one, you're safe." Optimus said rubbing Jetstorm's shoulder comfortingly.
Something the prime said must of worked because Jetstorm closed his optics and was immediately fast asleep.
"It comes from experience." Optimus said seeing the suprised look on Drift's face.
Ratchet administered the sedative and after a moment allowed Drift to take Jetstorm back to the ship.
Slipstream was awake when Drift returned.
"Is he alright, master Drift?" Slipstream asked.
"He is fine now Slipstream." Drift said setting Jetstorm down on his berth.
Drift sighed before looking at Slipstream.
"Slipstream, a friend of Windblade is coming tomorrow to...talk with you and Jetstorm." Drift said.
"You mean a therapist." Slipstream said seeing right through Drift's words.
"Yes." Drift said nodding.
Slipstream was about to speak but Drift interrupted.
"And before you say you don't need it, you do, you are just as upset as Jetstorm is, you were trying to hide it but I can tell, I know you well enough Slipstream." Drift said.
Slipstream sighed and nodded, admittedly he was extremely tense, and had been since Shadow Raker had been captured, but he thought he'd gotten good at hiding it by now.
Drift seemed to notice what Slipstream was thinking and pulled the young minicon closer, very much like you would an upset child.
Slipstream and Jetstorm basically were kids.
"You shouldn't have to hide your feelings Slipstream, they are every bit as important to me as everybody else's, I don't want you to be upset or scared to communicate how you feel." Drift said.
Slipstream tensed visibly then sighed.
"Admittedly I am worried master, he has escaped far worse than this in the past and if he does escape, he could hurt me and Jetstorm again." Slipstream said.
"Listen to me Slipstream, you are my students and therefore my responsibility, if he wants to get near you, he'll have to pry you from my sparkless husk." Drift said.
Slipstream seemed slightly reassured but Drift could tell he was still worried.
"Rest Slipstream, we will discuss this more in the morning." Drift said.
Slipstream nodded and lay down falling back to sleep.
Drift watched both his students for a moment to make sure they were both peacefully resting before laying down and falling asleep himself.
Cybertron:
Chromia looked over the two files she was given.
Windblade had contacted her earlier in the day and asked if she could speak to a close friend's, pupils as she put it.
She was now studying the files before she left.
Name: Slipstream
Age: 15
Personality: loyal, kind, humble, slightly stubborn
Issues that need addressing: will often not talk about issues that bother him, doesn't believe his opinions are valid despite being told they are, will often bottle up anger or stress and won't discuss it
Chromia frowned, that certainly wasn't good, she'd dealt with this sort of thing herself and she knew it was never good to bottle up stress or anger.
However she was confident she could get through to him.
She turned to the other file.
Name: Jetstorm
Age: 12
Personality: kind, loyal, brave, stubborn, humorous, adventurous and full of energy
He also loves music
Issues that need addressing: like Slipstream he often won't talk about issues that bother him, will often close himself off when upset, severe lack of confidence in himself despite reassurance from others, like Slipstream will often bottle up anger or stress
Chromia's frown deepened as she read Jetstorm's file, clearly she was going to have her work cut out with these two, but she was going to do her best to help them.
She packed a few things then went to her assistant Moonracer.
"Moonracer, I need to leave for a little while, could you take charge while I'm gone?" She asked.
"Of course." Moonracer said nodding.
Chromia thanked her and left.
As she left she got on the comm, she knew another bot who could help her, a bot she knew would also be very happy to return to Earth.

Hi! I wanted to ask if you could write the TFA autobots and elite guard reacting to finding a batmobile Bubby on earth?
Bubby was lose during the war and is the around the same age as Ratchet and Ultra magnus. And maybe have a little romance with Ratchet.
Thanks! :)
This is something new! Batmobile Buddy it is! One of the best detectives on Cybertron! If this isn't what you want, please let me know.
Hope you enjoy!
Bot Buddy who's alt mode is a Batmobile with Ratchet, Ultra Magnus, Optimus Prime, and the Jettwins
SFW, Platonic, slight romantic, Cybertronain reader
TFA
Buddy was one of Cybertrons best detectives during the war.
She was hailed with finding many lost Autobots and catching Decepticons off guard with her swiftness and skilled martial artistry.
She had some teaching from Master Yoketron but decided to leave the dojo to help High Command in the war.
Buddy met Ultra Magnus as his personal bodyguard.
The old one had taken leave to get repairs and some of the back up guards had been called into the draft.
Buddy was personally called after Magnus had heard of her reputation.
Even though the job was temporary Buddy took her job seriously in guarding Ultra Magnus.
They bonded during that time from the near-death situations to potential strategy plans suggested.
“Ultra Magnus.”--Buddy
“Buddy? What seems to be the trouble?”--Magnus
“If I may be so bold…”--Buddy
“You may.”--Magnus
“Is it wise to move the troops in this sector? We would be leaving this flank completely unguarded.”--Buddy
“We would need to take that risk.”--Magnus
“But there is also a chance that the assault team could come in. We have a refugee camp in that area, it will be vulnerable.”--Buddy
“Hmm… you are right. We will need to alert the troops at once.”--Magnus
“Absolutely, sir.”--Buddy
Magnus had offered Buddy a spot in the Elite Guard once the knew guard had arrived, but she politely declined in return for wanting to go back and do her detective work.
The two did stay in contact, especially once the number of hostages they were finding grew in numbers.
It was during one of these cases that Buddy met Ratchet.
Buddy had returned another group of Autobots to a nearby relief camp.
Buddy wanted to know the status of each patient admitted.
“How are they?”--Buddy
“Sweet Alpha Trion! Don’t you know better to scare a field tech?!”--Ratchet
“Sorry, I just wanted to know if the Autobots are okay.”--Buddy
“If you don’t mind waiting a couple of hours, then of course.”--Ratchet
A couple hours later, Ratchet is wrapping up everything up when he sees Buddy taking a nap on a chair nearby.
“You really waited here for all this time?”--Ratchet
Of course, so… do I have to wait more?”--Buddy
“Lucky you, I have all the reports. They are all going to be fine. Some better than others, but they’ll live.”--Ratchet
“That’s good. That’s good.”--Buddy
“Why did you wait?”--Ratchet
“I like to know whether my work was good or not.”--Buddy
“Really. Is that all?”--Ratchet
“…Maybe…”--Buddy
“You kids and you’re words.”--Ratchet
“Hey, I’m your age!”--Buddy
“You don’t act like it!”--Ratchet
“…”--Buddy
“…”--Ratchet
“Hahahahahah!”—Buddy and Ratchet
That was where their friendship began.
The two kept in communication after Buddy left the camp.
They talked about their daily lives every now and then. There would be rare times when the two would be able to meet up in person.
Everything was fine.
Until Buddy went radio silent.
Ratchet had tried to reach Buddy multiple times, even going as far as picking up some favor from the higher ups.
No one had any notation on Buddy.
Timeskip to Earth
Optimus was tired.
He had been dealing with Sentinel’s attitude all day and now he had to babysit the Jettwins.
Why?
Sentinel had promised them to visit the Plant, but he had bailed out at the last minute… and Optimus was at the mercy of the twins ‘puppy dog’ optics.
When the three of them came into the dark Plant. A single light was turned on in the middle of the common room.
“Where are the others?”--Jetstorm
“Yes! Where? Bumblebee told us about this video game—”--Jetfire
“Wait!”--Optimus
“What?”—Jetfire and Jetstorm
“I just remember something… the Team is out on patrol.”--optimus
“Then why is there a light on.”--Jetfire
“That’s because… we aren’t alone.”—Optimus
Optimus grabs his axe while the twins power up.
The light flickered until it finally turned off.
None of them are ready for the sudden ambush. They thrashed around feeling kicks and chops to their armor before they felt stasis cuffs on their servos and pedes.
The lights turned on.
There was a stranger who looked like a Decepticon with their dark colored paint job, but the red Autobot badge begged to differ.
The bot came over to the Prime and looked at his Autobot badge then turned and saw the twins’ badges.
Silently the bot clicked a button.
The cuffs came loose.
“Sorry about that. You can’t be too careful now a days.”--Buddy
“Who are you?”--Optimus
“And how did you do that!”--Jetfire
“That was so cool!”--Jetstorm
“Do you have powers too?! What powers do you have?!”--Jettwins
“Woah, woah, woah calm, down kiddos. I’m a detective from the Autobot High Command. The names Buddy.”--Buddy
“Detective? How come I’ve never heard of you?”--OPtimus
“Special ops. I look out for the bots who suddenly go missing and no one wants to look for them. I’m the one they call to look for them or I find out and go looking for them.”--Buddy
“Oooohhhh!”--Jettwins
“Who did you come looking for?”--Optimus
“I take it you’re Optimus Prime.”--Buddy
“Yes?”--Optimus
“I came to look for you and your team.”--Buddy
“Oh! Who called?”--Optimus
“… A dear friend of mine was on your team. I didn’t get a chance to tell him what happen on my pass assignment… I found out after some digging. Its hard to figure out space bridge engineering when you don’t know a lick about it.”--Buddy
“Who was your friend?”--Optimus
“A brilliant field tech named Ratchet.”--Buddy
“The Doc-Bot!?”--Jettwins
“You know him?”--Buddy
“He is our field tech along with our friend Sari.”--Optimus
“What’s a Sari?”—Buddy
That was when the rest of Team Prime had decided to show up.
Now it was understandable that the Team was on edge seeing a dark armored bot looming over the three Autobots on the ground.
But one of them quickly gets everyone to lower their weapons.
“Put those weapons down, that’s an Autobot!”--Ratchet
“An Autobot? They look like a Decepticon to me!”--Bumblebee
“Put it down!”--Ratchet
“You know them?”--Prowl
“Yes!”--Ratchet
“Ratchet!?”--Buddy
“Buddy!”--Ratchet
Buddy ran to Ratchet hugging new dents into him.
“Oh my—”--Prowl
“That bot did the impossible!”--Bulkhead
“She’s hugging Ratchet! And he’s hugging back!”--Bumblebee
“Shut it!”—Buddy and Ratchet
The two Autobot looking at each other before laughing.
“…Prime I’m scared.”--Bumblebee
“Me too—I mean don’t be rude.”--Optimus

At first they return as softness, whispers in the wind, barely making their presence known The nostalgia is just the beginning, until the memories of you start aching in my bones They always come but are never welcome, intrusive, manipulative, controlling everything you always were, so discreetly So much so, I tried to tell my […]

"excitable and sweet, Jolt Drive, or simply JD, is a young weaponry designer. she's creative and clever, but has made it quite clear she's still learning. sure she trips up and messes up her words. sometimes she's too naive and forgiving. but don't let those traits fool you. she works smarter and harder to get to her end goals." this took 3 days... ;-; she has such a big wardrobe. i will admit that this was a doozy of a ref. but i'm proud of it. her human everyday outfits 1-7 are based off of stuff i own. they're based off of what she would as a human in the transformers movies but they work for different universe too. everyday 1 - Transformers, TFA everyday 2 - Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, TFP everyday 3 - Transformers Dark of the Moon, RID 2015, Cyberverse everyday 4 - Transformers Age of extinction everyday 5 - Transformers The Last Knight everyday 6 - Bumblebee, G1 everyday 7 - Transformers Rise of the Beasts, Earthspark, IDW
the dark grey hearts on her designs connect to form constellations in July that are Visible from Italy. her feet are also meant to have the flat part at the toe to mimic ballerina point shoes. her skirt and boots for party are meant to be holographic purple and her jacket is meant to be a metalic galaxy print lol.
TFP, RID - Auriga (the charioteer) TFA - Corona Borealis (the northern crown) G1 - Coma Berenices (the Bernice's hair) Bayverse v1 (transformers, RotF, DotM, Bumblebee RotB) - Andromeda (the princess) bayverse v2 (AoE) - Cassiopea (the seated queen) Bayverse V3 (TLK) - Canis Venatici (the hunting dogs) IDW - Cancer (the crab) Earthspark - Monoceros (the unicorn) Cyberverse - Lyra (the lyre)
i stuck with my idea for different movies she looks different to kinda show her mood and outlook.
anyway, backstory time
JD, also known as Jolt Drive, is BumbleBee's energetic girlfriend and apprentice to Crosshairs. She loves fashion and make-up and studies design. JD was sent to study on earth, unaware the war would reach her and drag her in, which is something she wanted to avoid for a long time. She is taught under the weapons designer, Crosshairs. Her weaponry is famously non-lethal and one of her most famous designs is known as the Apparatus, which can turn into weaponized versions of rhythmic gymnastics apparatus. However, She also has ASD and has to remember to turn everyone down to not be overstimulated from the noise. She also is very jumpy and has a strong Italian accent that isn't always easy to read. her first earth language is Italian and speaks only Italian when she's tired. She has a group of friends that were her exchange trip classmates in Japan. She makes non lethal weaponry mostly because she has a vow. an order from her home asks that she never kills. She may injure but never end another's life. She upholds this vow and gets angry when people try to make her go against it. Her family is very influential in her home but she's refusing to say where she's from. She and Bumblebee are very very much in love. They made a promise to conjunx after JD finished her studies. Her family also adopted Jetfire and Jetstorm as her brothers. she has a sneaking suspicion about someone who died in her family and thinks she knows where to look for the culprit.

One of my transformers au (I still haven't gotten a name for it) minicons stuff
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Putting a lot of details (and headcanons) for the minicons so here we go! Gotta start with the torpedoes then the buzzsaws (maybe even the weaponizers and the cyclones)
So here are bits for the torpedoes
All torpedoes are arthropods, they came from one of the seas on Cybertron (probably the Mithril sea or the Argon sea)
They're physically strong in dense atmospheres (it's like swimming to them)
They're more animalistic compared to Buzzsaws and Weaponizers
A majority of them migrated to the cities, no one knows why
They're like dogs, and the Buzzsaws are like cats, they're both opposites
When it comes to scars, the spot where the damage is at gets lighter
The Buzzsaws
They're like cats, a lot of them are strays on the streets
Since their appearance is similar to larger bots (and well they're pretty and adorable), they (and the weaponizers ) get more attention than torpedoes and cyclones, the buzzsaws get more privilege than them
The buzzsaws and Weaponizers are on decent friendly terms, but it's kinda close to frenemies territory
When they get scars, the spot gets darker
But they have one thing in common
They hate each other!
Okay now onto the four minicons!
On Divebomb and Airazor's side
Divebomb's group were one of the first few to migrate to the cities. They had a time trying to fit in, very few knew how shanix were valuable. At some point, one of the members of the group decided to bring in a circus! Over time, more and more fellow sea dwelling bots joined in to be a part of the family.
Divebomb was tasked to be a clown, it's humiliating, but it's a decent paying job. He did get bored with the job and he decided to head off to find a better job. it didn't go so well with him, no one would want him.
He decided to use almost all of his leftover shanix to modify himself, he thought that maybe if he looks different it would work. After getting modified to look more draconic, he sought out for a job again, where he met Fracture, a rookie bounty hunter, on the streets, who just let his bounty go by accident. Fracture was surprised to meet a unique looking torpedo, if only he knew.
Divebomb knew he's a torpedo and Fracture is a land vehicle (and their partnership is highly incompatible), but he still offered to help out. After their first bounty hunt together, they were successful! Fracture shared an equal amount of the payment to Divebomb, which convinced him to work with Fracture for real.
At some point in their bounty hunting, they were in the desert, they saw something at a distance and investigated it and sure enough, it was Airazor. This confuses Divebomb since torpedoes usually stay in cooler areas, not a desert. They both feel bad for the Lost and confused Airazor, so they brought him in!
Fracture doesn't know much about minicons, all he knows is just feed them and take care of them that's it. So Divebomb decided to be Airazor's older brother and do most of the work.
At some point, they met Drift and his minicons on a bounty hunt and they've been rivaling ever since. Though Divebomb does get tired of this and so is Slipstream.
On earth, after their tussle with Drift and his minicons, Steeljaw met Fracture, offered a false promise to him, and now they're stuck with the pack. Airazor doesn't mind that much, but Divebomb was furious inside. They're not getting paid, he knows Steeljaw doesn't have shanix, they're never getting paid! Steeljaw's pack are fully aware that Divebomb is indeed just a regular torpedo who pretends to be a dragon.
On Slipstream and Jetstorm's side
It's similar to some of the shorts.
After Slipstream gets robbed by a Cyclone, he really wants to find something to replace his precious ball bearing by stealing anything shiny. The folks in Serenity Yard caught wind of this and exiled Slipstream out.
Now on the streets, Slipstream does what he's best at, more stealing. Shadow Raker saw him stealing things on the streets, he took an interest in him and offered him shelter. Slipstream gladly accepts. After some time, Slipstream saw someone, Jetstorm trying to steal something and ultimately failed. Slipstream rushes in to save him, they nearly get caught.
After they get to a safe alley, Jetstorm repeatedly thanks him, Slipstream doesn't care that much. Jetstorm admitted that he's homeless and begs Slipstream to help him out. Slipstream has no idea what to do, so the only thing he did was bring him to Shadow Raker. Where they would be trained to be skilled thieves.
After Drift saves them from Shadow Raker, they begin job hunting and bounty hunting seems to be a decent choice, of course they met Fracture's group at one point.
On earth, Slipstream and Jetstorm seem to have a better outlook on their lives, even Slipstream appreciates earth's "Anime", Jetstorm still doesn't get it.
Some Divestream stuff (Divebomb X Slipstream)
When they first met, Divebomb was intrigued by Slipstreams weapon, it reminded him of the fire dancers back at the circus
Divebomb tried to flirt with Slipstream, it was "Hey, are you a thief? Cause you stole something from me" which offended Slipstream, he said he doesn't even know what he stole from Divebomb, which kinda upsets DB
Overtime they grew so tired of fighting, they actually sat down and rested right next to each other
Slipstream doesn't mind Divebomb's weird noises
They would sneak out to chill with each other
Okay that's all I got, I'll do more at some point in the future

Just a silly ask I made
For a while the Decepticons noticed that Star was acting off/strange, but it was a different kind of strange so no one could guess what it was.
Thundercraker decided to keep it simple: go to him to find out what's going on
The answer came in the form of a tired sigh and two sparklings (jetfire and jetstorm)
Thundercracker is so shocked because Starscream is usually shit at keeping secrets. Almost as bad as Skywarp. How the FRAG did he manage to safely deliver without a medic?! Why wouldn't he tell his trine?! How did they not sense it through their bond? He's immediately at his side, flicking his forehelm in scolding and going into fussy caretaker mode. Rearranging his pillows to sit him up, fetching energon and quietly hissing a rant at him so as not to disturb the sleeping sparklings 💖

How would TFA Elite Guard react to two human! Twin girls(both either y/n or y/n and s/n, doesn’t really matter to me) who are basically like Riley and Huey from Boondocks? If you are comfortable with this, of course!😊

Sentinel Prime
"Ew!Organics!"
"Ew a bigass Stan Smith rip off!You you better shut the hell up or chin might grow bigger!"
"Yeah it humongous it will hit da wall!"
*Your sister pulled out the bug spray at him*
•He would be flabbergasted about you and your twin behaviour
•He always talked about boring politics
•He would be scared of you two threatened him and pulled out some weapons I mean how did Optimus befriended two humans that would beat the shit out of someone
Tumblr media
Jazz
•He would hear your twin saying gay multiple time and calling him gay he would be confused why your twins called him gay since Cybertronian have been gender neutral
•He would have fun with you two and listening to the music you listening to
•He might be impressed about your civil rights and both of you can fight
Tumblr media
Jetstorm & Jet fire
•Welp here comes another double trouble because you will all be causing trouble a lot since you and your twins is getting along with the
•There will be alot of fight and chaos
•You will all get along and argue when you two rivaled eachother or their own and your own twin sibling
Tumblr media
Ultra Magnus
•You two called him white man multiple times since he tired of being called by that

if thrust is like that do you think jetstorm might smell anything similar to a used car parking lot. or a used car salesman
OK SO GET THIS I have a big pile of notes that I use as part of a writing bible/guideline for myself in writing and. Jetstorm and Thrust have really specific smells to them.
Jetstorm smells like jet fuel because of the process of afterburning in jets (which is sort of his shtick beyond afterburn just being his activation code):
An afterburner (or a reheat) is an additional component present on some jet engines, mostly military supersonic aircraft. Its purpose is to provide an increase in thrust, usually for supersonic flight, takeoff and for combat situations.
Tumblr media
Based on this he kind of smells like fuel with a sort of intense "burnt" effect to it. Like the aftermath of a fire fueled by gasoline, with all the extra industrial kick. As far as the Maximals think he probably REEKS, but he's the guy with guns and doesn't have to live in the sewer of all places... so their opinion doesn't really matter lmfao.
Alternatively, Thrust smells like these images:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You ever been on a freshly paved highway in the summer and smell someone burning their tires at the same time? That's Thrust. He's terrible.
Essentially what I'm saying is that they STINK to normal people but to each other it's probably like "damn boy that cologne is VERY nice." Robots, man. Absolute freaks. 10/10

The GrimBee Story
Chapter 5
~~~~~~~~~~
Later on that day, Bumblebee decided to go check on Grimlock to see how he was doing and make sure he was staying off the leg like he was ordered to. Grimlock was lying on his berth already fast asleep with a pillow under his sore leg.
Bumblebee knocks on the door, "Grim, can I come in?"
Grimlock slowly sits up before speaking, "Yeah."
Bumblebee walks in, "How are you doing?"
"I'm good, was just taking a nap. I want something to do."
"I know you do, but you have to stay off that leg."
"Is there anything that I can do that is fun but I can still be off my leg?"
"Not that I can think of."
Grimlock made a sound of disappointment as he tried to think, "Oh, you can show me some of those magic tricks."
"OK. What do you want to see?"
"I'm not sure, surprise me," Grimlock replied with an excited grin. Bumblebee comes up with something he could do. Grimlock made a small noise of excitement as he waited. Bumblebee flicked his servo around Grim's helm before pulling a piece of cloth out of his audio, he kept pulling one colorful cloth after another.
Grimlock giggled with delight, "How are you doing that?"
"A magician never reveals his secrets."
"Aww, can you show me another one?"
"Sure," Bumblebee thinks of another trick he could do and he decides to do the coin trick.
"This is so cool. How long did it take for you to learn all of this?"
"A couple of years."
"Cool. Can you teach me?"
"As I said, a magician doesn't reveal their secrets."
"Aww."
"Sorry. Want to see another one?"
"Sure."
Bumblebee brings out a couple of hoops and shows them separately before putting them together, connecting them all of a sudden.
"That is neat and weird."
"I know," he chuckled.
"I need to get some more Energon."
"I'll go get it for you," Bumblebee says as he heads out.
"Thanks, Bumblebee."
He walked out to get some Energon then came back and handed it to Grimlock. Grimlock was about to take a sip when he looked at Bumblebee, "Want to share?"
"No, I'm good," he replied with a smile.
"OK," Grimlock said as he took a sip of his Energon.
"Want to see another trick?"
"Sure. I wish I could do something like that."
Before Bumblebee could do another trick the alarms go off. Grimlock turned his helm in the direction of the alarm, "I wonder what's going on."
"I'm about to find out, you stay here and rest."
"OK. Be careful."
"I will," Bumblebee says as he heads out to the Alchemor to see what's going on, "What's going on, Fixit?" He asked the Mini-Con.
"It's Ripjaw again. And he's at this thing called, a Monster Truck Rally?" Fixit explained in confusion as he looked up the term.
"A Monster Truck Rally? There will be hundreds of humans there, that's a big event!" Bumblebee stated.
"But why would he be there?" Slipstream asked.
"I'm not sure. What is he doing?"
"He's taking some of the tires off of the Monster trucks."
"Why is he doing that?" Jetstorm asked.
"Only one way to find out. Let's go, team," Bumblebee replied.
Grimlock watched from his window as Megatron, Drift, Sideswipe, Bulkhead, and Bumblebee made their way to their destination. "Wish I was going with them," he muttered as he laid back onto his berth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bumblebee and his team went to the Monster Truck Rally and started looking for Ripjaw and his group, "Stay sharp everyone, we don't know where Ripjaw could be," Bumblebee warned. He wasn't sure if he should split the team up after what had happened last time. They all stayed alert looking for any sign of the enemy and any humans. Luckily due to the sightings of Ripjaw and his crew, the humans evacuated the stadium.
"Well, at least we don't have to stay in hiding," Drift states.
"Yeah, at least that," Bumblebee replied as they entered the arena.
"This brings back memories of when I was in the gladiator pit," Megatron mused as he looked around.
"I imagine it would," Bumblebee says as he looks around. Didn't take long and they spotted Ripjaw and his group.
"Back for another beating, are we?" Ripjaw grinned as he looked at the Autobots.
"This time it will be different, I'll be taking you in."
"I don't have time for small fries. Where's Thunderhoof?"
"He's around."
"Worried over that femme Predacon I see. Shadowrunner told me he seemed rather concerned for her, that's not like him at all."
"Of course he is, she's his mate."
Interesting. "Well, best be off, got things to do," Ripjaw said as he turned to leave.
"Not so fast, Ripjaw!"
"Take care of these punks," Ripjaw told his group as he took off. Shadowrunner and Amberblade charged forward and the Autobots got ready to fight.
~~~~~~~~~~
After what felt like hours, Grimlock heard the Ground Bridge fire up. It took all of his self-control to stay in bed when he saw Bumblebee and the others return with minor injuries.
The others went to help them, "What happened, sir?" Strongarm asked.
"We had a run-in with Ripjaw and his gang," Bumblebee replied as Optimus helped Megatron. They were taken to Med Bay to get their injuries fixed up. Grimlock felt like he was on pins and needles while waiting. Were Bumblebee and the others okay? Did they get the Decepticons? Of course they didn't, they would be putting them in stasis pods by now.
A couple of hours later, Bumblebee goes to see Grimlock, "You're okay!" Grimlock shouted with joy as he picked up Bumblebee in a bear hug, "Is everyone else okay? What took so long?" He asked as he hugged him.
"Ow, ow, ow. Easy, Grimlock. We're all fine but we are sore."
"Oops, sorry," the Dinobot apologized as he put the lieutenant back on the ground.
"No worries."
"Did you fight Ripjaw?"
"No, two of his team members."
"Was it that femme with the long fangs?"
"Yes, and Shadowrunner."
"And you're sure everyone is okay?"
"Yes, a bit banged up but just fine."
"That's good. Ripjaw got away, didn't he?"
"Yep, he ran off and left his lackeys to get rid of us."
"Some leader," Grimlock muttered, "I mean who would leave their comrades to fight alone?"
"Exactly, not good leadership."
"Do you think Thunderhoof was like that?"
"Judging by the way he was when we first met him, I would say yes."
"Do you think I could lead my own team someday?"
"Uh... Maybe someday when you're more... equipped for handling a team."
"OK. Until then I'll just have to watch how you lead the team."
"Yeah..."

The unfinished chapter 12 of The Masked Decepticon (Tumblr version)
Decided to post this. Be warned, it is unfinished.
The Masked Decepticon
Chapter 12: Wasp And Stinger
It was a calm day in the Nemesis. Just him, the datapads and the rare silence in the ship.
A few solar cycles ago, they had received a distress call from a Decepticon camp, saying that Autobots had attacked them. Megatron<# went to help, along with a few others. Ever since their rebellion plan had been set in motion, the original group had been spread out thin to help other bases.
Megatron<# stayed with him, <) "+[@| and his trine went to another planet where a base is built, (;{" ( {<[ and :|~@(&{^; are together on a mission to save their comrades trapped in a cave in. #{<;&^@'~ and his cassetticons are finding info they could use in their upcoming battles againsts the Autobots with #+{" (^@'~.
{|>{; preferred the sounds of his friends arguing compared to the silence. Even though it was hectic, he didn't feel alone.
Outside of the base, a pair of vengeful optics are looking through the window from a distance. Their target doesn't notice them. Good. Now, to make the call and set their plans into motion.
The mech within the Nemesis looks at the window, and they snuck away.
{|>{; }@£. They would make him pay for humiliating them.
Xxx
Present day
It was a rainy night on Detroit. There was no one who wanted to go out at the streets at this late night, especially during a downpour.
At the Autobots Base, everyone is in recharge in their respective berthrooms. Except for Bumblebee, who is still playing video games late at night.
However, he didn't realise that he's not alone. A couple seconds later, the whole building went dark.
"I wasn't playing video games, I swear! Just put the lights back on!" he yelled, more annoyed than anything. Suddenly, red lights started to flash as the alarm blared.
A shrill voice pierced Bumblebee's audials, "Bumblebot..."
"Who's there!!? Blitzbrain, I swear if you show up in the middle of the night just to scare me, I'll -" he glanced back and saw a bot he'd never thought he'd see again.
"Wasp!? What are you doing here?"
"Oh, not much... Just seeking revenge on the bot who ruined Wasp's life!"
'Oh, slag,' thought Bumblebee. This isn't going to end well for him, is it?
Xxx
It wasn't until a couple of hours later that Bumblebee finally woke up. The Autobots, plus Skyfire are all around him, looking at him with wary and tired (mostly from Ratchet) optics.
But what surprises him the most is the fact that he saw himself standing with them. Wasp had taken his place when he was unconscious.
After a failed attempt at convincing his teammates that Wasp had swapped places with him, Bumblebee escapes, just in time before the Sentinel and Jazz arrives.
Xxx
Optimus, Ratchet and Skyfire are chasing after Wasp, when two jets flew past them.
"I didn't know human pilots their jets like that!" said Ratchet.
"Wait. I detected spark signals from them... They're Cybertronians?!" yelled Skyfire.
"But Autobots don't fly..." Ratchet started, before remembering about the other mech abave him, "Oh, slag. Sorry,"
"It's okay. Let's focus on getting Wasp first,"
Xxx
Back with Bumblebee, he was desperately trying to scrub off the green paint on his chassis to no avail, "What kind of paint is this!!?"
His head snapped at the sound of two jet thrusters. Bumblebee cursed under his breath before trying to run away, before Jetstorm landed in front of him. With Jetfire on the other side of the alleyway, Bumblebee is now trapped.
Xxx
And, that's all I'm afraid. It's been left in drafts for a long time because I have to rewatch the episode multiple times to write the dialogue. Which is what lead to the rewrite in the first place.
Hope some of you can guess who the mysterious bot is.

This is the second part of the past request for Elita One's twin sister reaction from Dinobots and Wreck-Gar.
Hope you enjoy!
Elita One's Twin sister reactions from Jazz and the Jettwins
SFW, Platonic, Hinted romance, Cybertronian (techno organic) reader
TFA
Set Pre-Sentinel and Elita reunion.
Buddy had come to visit Dinobot Island early in the morning before most of the team was up and ready.
She had promised Grimlock and the others to spend the day with them. After that they would watch the meteor shower.
There was less light pollution on the island, meaning the stars would be better to look at.
Bless the Dinobots, they really tried to stay up late, but one by one they ended up falling asleep before it was time to see them.
First, it was Slag.
Then, Swoop.
Finally, Grimlock.
Buddy petting Grimlock’s helm in the cave.
“You can sleep Grimmy. It’s okay.”--Buddy
Grimlock trying to suppress a yawn.
“Grimlock not tried… not tired…”--Grimlock
“Hey… its okay, you guys had a long day of sparring and training. You deserve the rest.”--Buddy
Grimlock huffing tiredly.
“But Buddy excited for stars and so far away…”--Grimlock
“I won’t go too far, I promise. As soon as it done, I’ll come straight back for our sleepover okay?”--Buddy
Grimlock response by snoring loudly.
Buddy chuckling softly before quietly leaving the cave.
Now Buddy was laying on her back looking at the twinkling lights.
Soon it would be time for the show to start.
She closed her optics feeling the gentle wind brushed against her frame.
This was nice.
Buddy peacefully enjoying the breeze.
The winds pick up a bit.
“Hmmm.”--Buddy
The winds start getting harsher as stray twigs start flying around.
Buddy opens her optics and sits up looking at the trees around her sway more and more.
“Carl from the weather station said it was going to be a light breeze.”--Buddy
The winds start picking up even more as her tree sways more and more.
“He didn’t say anything like Category 3 hurricane winds!”--Buddy
Then the fireball hit the tree knocking Buddy into the mud below.
Buddy groaned as the mud stuck onto her paintjob.
It was going to take forever to get all of this out of her joints, not to mention the sanitation treatments she was going to have to do before she could attend to anyone at base.
Buddy groaning as the mud clings to her.
A pair of white pedes appeared in front of her.
“Oh… Sorry about that. Here let me help you up.”
The strange white mech helps Buddy up on her pedes.
He wipes some of the mud from her optics.
Meanwhile with Megatron…
He is trying to read a data pad but something wrong tingles across his entire frame.
Back on Dinobot Island…
“Sorry again. My teammates tend to be a bit… rowdy when they come to new places. I’m Jazz by the way.”--Jazz
Buddy blinks taking in the appearance of the white mech.
“Well, no harm done in the end. It’s a bit of mud after all.”--Buddy
“Maybe we should find some sort of water to wash it off.”--Jazz
Buddy catching a glimpse of the Elite Guard badge.
“No! I mean—it’s not necessary right now.”--Buddy
“Why? That’s going to be hard to clean when it hardens.
“Nah, I’ll be fine. Anyways I’m here for the meteor shower.”--Buddy
“There’s going to be shower tonight?”--Jazz
“Ye—”--Buddy
CRASH!
Two bots suddenly crashed down a couple of feet away from the two making them jump.
The two bots got up and started bickering.
The orange bot created a fireball in one servo, while the other swirled the wind in his servos.
What in the name of Cybertron…
When did the Guard start recruiting Outliers?!
And why did they kind of sound like Blizwing’s kids if he had any.
Did he have kids?
That’s a question to ask another day.
“Jetfire! Jetstorm!”--Jazz
Both bots stop and look at Jazz.
“Those your teammates?”--Buddy
“Yeah. Hey, knock it off you two. She fell off a tree thanks to you two ruff housing.”--Jazz
The two quickly put out the wind and fore, stand up straight and stand in front of the two.
“We are very sorry for that!”--Jetstorm
“…It all right. Just a bit muddy, but it’s okay. I’ll clean up later.”--Buddy
“What is your name?”--Jetfire
“Umm…”--Buddy
Bright stars start flying across the sky.
“The shower is starting! Quick! I know a clearing we can go and see them!”--Buddy
Buddy grabs Jazz’s servo leading the others to the clearing.
Meanwhile at the Decepticon base…
Megatron is trying to sleep but something feels very off, and he feels upset for no reason.
The meteor shower had begun.
She instructed them to look up at the sky.
The four of them stared at the streaks that filled the night sky.
It was beautiful.
The twin loved seeing them and attempted to ‘race’ some of them as they streaked the sky.
Jazz and Buddy just sat down watching the twins and the sky.
They talked for a bit and before they knew it dawn was fast approaching.
“Welp, its time for me to start heading out.”--Buddy
“It was nice night. Thanks for letting us in on the shower.”--Jazz
“You’re welcome, Jazz.”--Buddy
The Jettwins landing down giving Buddy a big hug.
“Thank you for showing us this!”--Jetfire
“This was so awesome!”--Jetstorm
Buddy hugging back.
“I do have to ask, why were you guys on Dinobot Isalnd? Grimlock doesn’t like many bots.”--Buddy
“We actually came here to get a colleagues weapon they lost here.”--Jazz
“Really? What is that?”--Buddy
Jetstorm showing the familiar looking shield.
Buddy suppresses a gulp and smiles.
“Well, it was lovely to meet you three, I hope you guys make it back safe. I gotta go.”--Buddy
Buddy fast walks her way into the brush.
“Wait! I didn’t get your name—and she’s gone.”--Jazz
“You think we will see her again brother?”--Jetfire
“I hope so brother!”--Jetstorm

I have decided that this is how my art will look like from now on (for the most part). Because thinking and drawing idea images is hard and stresses me out. This is simpler, easy to draw, easy to figure out, and much faster and more enjoyable than perfect straight lines of a character.

Team Bee and S1 Steeljaw's pack family rolls
Team Bee:
Fixit is the Grandpa who's stories you actually need to text a safeword to get away from.
Bumblebee is the single mom 150% who tries so hard to be the "cool mom" but fails until he means business. He also thinks drinking coffee is a personality trait.
Sideswipe is the rebellious teenage kid who would be either popular or head of the gay kids table. Mom has to pick him up from the police sation on the weekly basis for doing something dumb.
Strongarm is the bossy older sister who looks up to mom and shares everything with him. Also the sister who will tattle on bro whenever he does something against the rules in the slightest. She's on his ass like Airachnid and the moon.
Grimlock is that one, um.. dull, uncle. If you have one you know, if you don't, you might actually have a decent family. Anyway he's pretty much the overly excited uncle that loves things he doesn't even know.
Drift is the grumpy uncle with a criminal record everybody is scared to ask about.
Slipstream is the quiet cousin nobody can really tease becuse he's just there and everybody expects him to snap. Basically like the quiet kid you have or had in your class.
Jetstorm is the extroverted, obnoxious cousin I know everybody has. The one thats always in your business, trying to relate to everybody. He means well tho.
(I'm not saying he's annoying he just tends to speak his mind more in the show when he can't help it)
Optimus is the biological Grandpa with the war stories.
Steeljaw's Pack(S1):
Steeljaw is the single pissed dad who's so fed up with everyone's shit he might actually go mental when the alcohol wears off.
(He and Bee are the divorced parents who would have killed each other if the damn kids didn't get in the way.)
Thunderhoof is the 50 year old uncle who keeps telling dad how to run the nuthouse and both are so tired of the other's shit they might just kill eachother.
Fracture is the aunt who talks shit about everyone and shows up to family events uninvided for gossip and money, but nobody cares because he makes good food.
Divebomb is the emo cousin who's obsessed with cats and drugs (I do not encourage this he just sounds stoned okay)
Airazor is the other cousin who tries really hard to be cool and a bad boy but will cry and out himself if stole money from Fracture. He also still believes in Santa because last time Fracture tried to tell him the truth he bawled for 2 hours straight.
Quillfire is the son who starts riots at school because he doesn't agree with their policies
Springload is the mentally unstable son who always acts drunk but that's just him. You can tell he has issues okay.
Clampdown is the cowardice brother who tries to be "normal" but lives in a crack house so he's whiney, nerdy, and worrysome.
Underbite is the mean just out of jail uncle who can't stop getting into street and bar fights.
