Miko Nakadai in her full , explosive and colorful glory.
Having moved to Jasper full time as soon as she was legally able, she took over a room in Hangar E, and has become the unofficial combat specialist of the Jasper Trio, using the Apex Armor once per day to better be ready should Cons ever return to Jasper.
She greatly misses Bulkhead, and it shows, as once she got her license, Miko decided to use an old military jeep as her vehicle, painting it with in familiar colors.
Never letting that dull her nature though, Miko persists as the heart of the trio, whereas Jack is the moral compass, and Raf the brains of their team.
Jack and Raf invite her to dinner at their houses often, as they know the hangar gets lonely, and have offered to make room for her at their homes, but she's answered the offer the same ever time:
She wants to be the first face that Bulkhead sees, when he comes back to Earth and to Jasper someday.

How I think Miko and Ironhide would be if partnered up
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1:
Ironhide would definitely teach her how to defend herself, as well as the basics of using pretty much any weapon in existence (including some of the guns that have to be lurking in the base Fowler scrounged up for them.)
2:
Miko would still totally be rocking out to heavy metal and rock 'n roll. Ironhide, having had to put up with Jazz and Blaster's shenanigans, is practically immune to the noise by this point.
3:
Ironhide would be recounting hundreds of war stories to her, even all the gorey parts, and Miko would listen in building excitement while Jack claps his hands over Raf's ears and looks on in abject horror.
4:
Miko would take photos of him right before missions, and Ironhide would flex his biceps to indulge her especially since he knows he might not come back.
5:
Together they'd give Ratchet all kinds of grief with Miko's music, practical jokes the medic never understands (and then laugh at him for it), as well as the occasional times Ironhide brings Miko along/she gets past his radar.
6:
Ironhide also develops a "Miko sense" whenever something's up/wrong at base, and pretty much tears the place apart until he finds her. He also usually just hefts her up somewhere high that she has to shimmy down before a mission starts, but it's Miko. She's as much a force of nature as Ironhide is and will find a way to be with him.
And lastly, we'd have some moments where they actually argue, and one of those times, Ironhide gets quiet as Miko's last outburst reveals that she can't handle the stress. She can stay in one place for a while, but not when Ironhide goes out on a mission. Miko will literally wake up from nightmares of seeing his dead corpse on the battlefield, or of being told by Optimus that he died. She wants to protect him, warn him of danger, but being so small and so helpless makes her run through the GroundBridges in a desperate bid to do something to help him.
And as she cries her fears out, Ironhide will lightly brush her back with a finger and tell her how much that means to him. And he'll tell her that as much as he loves having her around, even in a war zone (because scrap, you've got nerve), he worries she'll get caught in the crossfire. That he or one of the others won't see her and she'll get stepped on, or taken and tortured by the 'Cons, and that it keeps him up at night when one of the 'Cons spots her and they narrowly survive.
And in the end, they work out an agreement: with Raf and Wheeljack's help, they make a little drone that follows him or one of the others around when on a mission. It plays live footage, and by hacking into its feed, not only will Miko be able to stay in touch while he's out, but they can both make certain Ironhide won't be snuck up on.

The autobots better come back and visit those kids!
Have yall been snooping in my dms with @asimp4bee --
LEGIT JUST TALKED ABOUT THIS SO UHHH Hi welcome to this haphazard timeline/AU now In order of visitation!
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- Optimus
He was the first to arrive to the old base, and the kids were beyond shocked when the ground/space bridge fired up, and the first sight from it was Optimus himself. He held them for hours in his arms, and on his shoulders, reclined and sat against the wall as he heard all their stories from the past 3 years, and he told them every story of his own too.
He missed his little human sparklings.
-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- Bumblebee
As soon as he got word from Optimus that yes, the kids are active in the Jasper base, even after all these years, he did not even wait for Fixit to boot up the groundbridge to Jasper, he took to the roads and sped off to see them after so long. He nearly crashed into the hangar once he got there and just stumbled in before hugging all 3 of them tight, and showering them with praise, before informing Team Bee he'd be away for a much needed reunion and vacation in Jasper till further notice.
No one denied him that request. -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- Bulkhead Next to arrive by the bridge was Bulk, and no force on Earth could stop the speed at which Miko ran and clung to his leg, nor pry her from him as he saw how much his little Wrecker had grown and made a name for herself.
He was beyond proud to see she'd mastered the Apex Armor to the point she could push even him around a bit, though he was still gentle, remembering fondly when she was much smaller but just as spirited. -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- Ratchet
The medic was by no means affectionate at first, saying he was not going to be as sappy in his reunion with the children, but everyone could tell, the moment he stepped through the bridge and saw the well cared for hangar, how all their old equipment had been upkept and how Rafael had even helped improve it , Ratchet was touched. So as he too lifted the kids into his arms and cried, ranting he wasn't a sap and he just was glad they'd not been squished by other bots, the kids accepted that Ratchet was in fact, very much a sap under all that grouchiness. -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- Arcee It took a lot of courage for Arcee to go through the spacebridge again, after so many years away from the planet. But the moment she stepped through and saw all the kids, saw Jack all grown up and stepped up into the great leader of his own team, that all the bravado of the warrior femme melted away into a proud big sister. Resting her forehead against his as she cried from joy, that this little one, this tenacious partner of hers had made it to the end of the war, and had made her so impossibly proud in every single way.

Okay, so I’ve been thinking of Smokescreen from TFP a lot, and I’ve decided to share some thoughts/head-canons involving him
Tumblr media
First of all, we tend to ignore the fact that Smokescreen is a scarily adept thief. Just think about it: he’s always snitching the Phase Shifter until they allow him to keep it, and he manages to sneak away from the others to the battlefield or elsewhere with no one the wiser. So realistically speaking, Smokescreen is no stranger to sleight of hand tricks and stealth, meaning he likely stole - at least a little - before he was inducted into the Elite Guard, probably in order to survive.
And another thing about Smokescreen that always stuck out to me was how, despite his excitement for joining Team Prime and his insistence on “it being destiny/[he’s] destined to be a great warrior”, every time something went wrong, he blamed himself. He never shirked it onto someone else, or accused them of being at fault (come to think of it, he never pointed the finger at a teammate for anything). Instead, Smokescreen kicked himself for the failure and held himself to an unnecessary degree of accountability. It’s almost like he’s expecting too much from himself, so that, to me, says that Smokescreen thinks poorly of himself most of the time. Additionally, this leads me to think that he’s desperate for approval and acceptance from people, especially Team Prime and Optimus in particular. And I personally believe that Smokescreen’s ego early on is what he holds onto in order to convince himself that he is actually a worthy ‘Bot in his own right and not worthless or a burden.
So that’s left me to a couple of conclusions and theories: One, Smokescreen initially grew up in a darker part of Cybertron (clearly unaffected by the war); two, he was likely used by other Cybertronians for infiltration/recon/courier missions, and three he was often told what his worth was by others, half being condescending and the other half being sarcastic, with the occasional genuine praise from others, specifically his guardians.
And now we come to the real head-canon aspect of this: Smokescreen’s mysterious past (note, this is all from my own musings).
Tumblr media
So, I imagine Smokescreen was a kid who grew up in a little known place of Cybertron called the Mithril Sea. Like the Sea of Rust, it was primarily rust and heat, leaving only the strong to survive. An area largely ignored by most for their poor living conditions, the denizens of the Mithril Sea have to make frequent trade and excursions through the various run-down cities and markets to make a living. Taken in by the Axelerators merchant group, Smokescreen was the youngest and fastest of the group. Seeing the advantage of his youthful exuberance, the leader of the Axelerators often sent him to spy and steal from their rivals within the arid Mithril Sea. Despite the lack of empathy by most of the Axelerators, Smokescreen enjoyed the thrill of racing through the streets, jumping across the rooftops, and occasional chases by enemies. He would also get a kick out of pranking some of the better off and vain ‘Bots in the vicinity, or taunting his pursuers when they were unable to follow him into a particularly small passageway.
But this still left him restless. The Axelerators were always just using him for their next deal, for the next undermining of their opponents. It was a thankless and condescending life, but Smokescreen refused to believe that his life would always be so dull. Somehow, he always had an innate sense that he would leave the Mithril Sea and become a warrior - an idea that grew as he learned more about the ongoing Autobot-Decepticon War. He loved hearing the tales that would filter down into the market streets about the great battles, and the glorious cause of freedom for all that the new Prime, Optimus, spoke of. Hearing these stories drove Smokescreen to the knowledge that he was meant to be a soldier in the Autobot army, and he vowed to join their ranks after the passing of his guardian in the Axelerators.
Taking another mission on behalf of the Axelerators, Smokescreen instead stole a week’s worth of energon cubes and left the Mithril Sea. Arriving in Pellechrome, he bought more energon and supplies before searching for the nearest Autobot recruitment center. After pestering and waiting outside for a solid cycle, the sergeant accepted him into the Autobots and had him inducted into the Elite Guard for training. Overjoyed, Smokescreen joined the last unit of young Autobots to be trained under Rocket Plume, herself a deadly stealth agent. Smokescreen soon found that his background made him stand out to the more insecure ‘Bots, who would use him as a scapegoat and target for their actions. This naturally resulted in fights, but to the surprise of many, Smokescreen always came out on top, something that caught the eye of Rocket Plume. Taking him under her wing, Smokescreen’s skills at evasion, stealth, and battle truly flourished, although he was still considered an outcast by his fellow cadets. For that, as well as Rocket Plume’s teaching of changing one’s voice for covert operations, Smokescreen learned to suppress his natural Mithrilic accent to the point that no one who met him for the first time suspected his heritage.
When the war began to escalate, Smokescreen and his fellow cadets were given a hasty and unceremonious graduation, something that would forever disappoint him. With Rocket Plume pulled back onto the front lines, Smokescreen and the other graduates were sent to Iacon to bolster its defenses. Although pleading for a role on the Iacon front, Smokescreen was disheartened to learn that he would be given the position of security detail to Alpha Trion. Initially resenting this task, Smokescreen gradually built a rapport with Alpha Trion, whose grandfatherly nature and care earned the respect and loyalty of the young ‘Bot - especially when he was encouraged to speak with his natural accent. Seeing potential in the young Mithrilic and learning more of future events through the Covenant of Primus, Alpha Trion, under the pretense of old age, regaled Smokescreen with tales of Cybertron before the war, as well as those of Optimus and his past as Orion Pax.
To his great relief - and a certain amount of pride - Smokescreen was an eager learner, absorbing every fact related to Optimus and the battle techniques that Alpha Trion passed on to him. Eventually, the time came for Iacon’s fall, and Smokescreen eagerly waited near the doors to fully embrace and live up to the Autobot cause. Then, of course, Alpha Trion knocked him out and entrusted him with one of the Omega Keys, knowing that he would escape to Earth and help bring the Keys to Optimus.
Personally, I would have given Smokescreen a new human partner, and I’d reuse Tripp Summers from the 2018 Bumblebee film. Their bond would mostly focus on helping Smokescreen relax and realize his worth isn’t in his actions or what he can or can’t do for the team, but in his desire to do good and promote an end to the war. On Tripp’s side of things, Smokescreen would probably help him learn autonomy (I swear, that pun wasn’t intended) and to stop appeasing his haughty peers, whom he tries to please on behalf of his family.
And there we have it - my expanded history for Smokescreen. My boy deserved more attention and care in TFP, although what we got was good, too. To just further elaborate, the names of unknown locations and ‘Bots - Alpha Trion and Iacon notwithstanding, of course - I searched the Teletraan 1 Wiki for these places and expanded on them. So, if you’re curious, you can check them out there.
Additionally, I picture the Mithril Sea as stylized after ancient Persia, with the accent being Persian. The biggest reason for this is because first of all, I’m deeply interested in ancient Persia, the second being that Nolan North had previously voiced the Prince of Persia in the 2008 game. He’d wanted to do that accent for the character, but for some incomprehensible reason, the studio wanted his “Nate Drake” voice for the character.
Yeah, I don’t get that either. But at least this way, not only does Smokescreen have a larger and more colorful history, Mr. North would have the chance to use that accent whenever Smokescreen is agitated, excited, or frustrated by something. Who knows, maybe he’ll come across this and do that accent after all. I know I would certainly love to hear him use it!
See you around, folks!

I need fanfic of stoner!Miko. She strikes me as the type of girl that would smoke bc that's the only way she would feel calm. She's super chaotic and that chaos sometimes comes with chaotic emotions. I need stoner!Miko who keeps getting detention for falling asleep in class (bc she's stoned). Stoner!Miko who said something to Jack when he was talking to Arcee bc she was high and was almost shocked sober when she saw Optimus. Stoner!Miko who feels like she has to hide her habit but the Autobots aren't stupid and know exactly what she's smoking but it's a plant and there are more dangerous things she could be doing like running through the ground bridge she doesn't do that when she's high they realized. Stoner!Miko who smokes cartridges in the base to stabilize her endless energy 🙃
