The Suitors’ Trials

An AU about way too many Bumblebee Ships

“Dear suitors, you wish to ask for the hand of my precious son? Then you must first prove yourself worthy by passing the following trials.”

Based loosely on a string of different fairytales like The Princess on the Glass Hill, The grateful Beasts, Clever little tailor, how Six made their way in the world and this tumblr post

In this AU Bumblebee is the son of King Megatron of Kaon and his Conjunx Optimus Prime. He is also the younger brother of crown prince Hot Rod/Rodimus and prince Cheetor.

Being the youngest he is obviously the apple of his family’s eye, and especially his sire Megatron tends to be a bit overprotective over him at times.

So now imagine if you will, Bumblebee just being swamped with suitors from all sides. Knights from the neighbouring Autobot federation like Blurr, Prowl, Smokescreen and Windblade and even some of his sire’s own knights like Blitzwing and Breakdown - Heck even his sire’s chief advisor Starscream - start standing in line to ask for the prince’s hand in marriage.

Megatron had nearly died of a sparkattack when the king of the dinobots Grimlock knocked down the door to the palace with a ridiculously large Bouquet of flowers in his hands to join the long row of suitors.

Or that time the former Autobot turned traitor Wasp sneaking into the palace at the dead night just to wake up Megatron and Optimus to demand they’d let him marry their son.

Not to mention that time Steeljaw attempted to break into Bumblebee’s room through the balcony (from which the prince swiftly threw him off of mere moments later) to ask the prince directly to rule by his side.

Megatron had nearly cried of joy when the rescue bot Blades had simply sent a letter to formally ask for Bumblebee’s hand in marriage instead of sneaking (or breaking) into the palace like the last few suitors.

But the situation remained the same. His precious son was swarmed with suitors and him and the guards could only hold them off for so long as the suitors were starting to grow impatient waiting for the king to make a choice.

But of course as any loving father would, Megatron wanted to make sure that his son would marry no one but the best bot among them.

And so Megatron one day gathered all the suitors together and told them they’d have to pass a certain set of trials and tests and whoever succeeded at them all would be allowed to marry his son.

The first task seemed simple enough on paper: Try to climb up a slippery glass hill and gather one of the keys at the top. But the number of keys was limited. So you not only had to manage to climb up the hill, but you had to make sure you were faster than the others too or else there would be no more keys left. This trial already eliminated a few of the suitors.

And this song and dance continues with each trial essentially having an increasingly smaller number of keys the suitors must obtain until the very last trial where only one key remains.

For the last trial Megatron puts the last remaining key around the collar of a cat (or some other small animal or a Bee even) and the suitors must try to catch the animal and grab the key from its collar in order to win the last trial. The catch? Well this small animal is actually Bumblebee himself using the power of fairytale magic to turn into a cat. And the only way to catch the “cat” is not by chasing him but by simply being nice to the cat to gain his trust. Or alternatively gain the trust of Bumblebee himself. I imagine that inbetween attempts to catch the animal and even inbetween the earlier trials the remaining suitors would all occassionally spend some time alone with Bumblebee.

So the remaining suitors, unknowingly are being tested by the prince himself on their personality and compatibility each time they are alone with Bumblebee and whenever they try to catch the cat. So depending on how the remaining suitors treat Bee in his normal form and whenever he is disguised as a cat, Bee decides which suitor is trustful/someone he'd want to be married to. And once he choses he'll allow that suitor to catch him willingly and get the final key

So Tldr, Bumblebee in a sense is allowed to make the final choice himself by seeing how the suitors would treat him/the cat.

I personally have no idea though what the trials inbetween the first and last trial would be or who the final suitor would be and in what order the suitors would be disqualified. If you have any ideas or suggestions hit me with them.

If you have thoughts, questions or ideas for this AU let me know. Or heck you can post your own version if this little post of mine has inspired you in any way - and if you do please tag me in it, I would love to see more Transformers Fairy Tale AUs.

[transformersconfessions]

Mainstream legacy characters being side characters in Earthspark is one of the reasons why so little people actually cared about the Terrans.

MegOp this, MegOpLita that.

BreakBee this, SwindleBee that.

MegaSound divorce here

Starscream not getting a redemption arc there

Why isn't (an existing character) in it? This one should've been in it

I started watching ES for the Terrans. I want to watch the Terrans grow as characters. I want to see more new Terran characters that expands further from the Malto family and the Chaos Terrans. It's so disappointing to see their own show seem to be dismissing them into side characters to give the Legacy characters the spotlight when they already have theirs IN EVERY OTHER CANON ITERATIONS!

From the posters to the head(?) designer's artwork for ES, the Terrans are pushed to the side. Literally. S3 poster only has Twitch & Thrash so small underneath the logo and they're in the alt modes. Isn't it time for the triplets to be in a promo?

Hashtag is more than just Starscream's catalyst for his supposedly potential change.

Nightshade & Jawbreaker deserve better characterizations and growth.

Twitch needs to stop taking every adult 'Bots for herself (I admit it's cute - but your siblings need more than one mentor too, girl) and share her spotlight.

Last but not least, Thrash should've had the same amount of spotlight and growth as Twitch! They are BORN TOGETHER. He's the only other poster Terran. What do you mean he only gets one dedicated episode for him? Even the triplets had at least two per season, but he only gets one for what - 2 and a half seasons??

Out of all characters in the franchise that deserve better writing and story, I'd say it's the Terrans. Both as characters and as a sub-species.

Honeypot would be a great SwindleBee baby name I think. I also think they would be nonbinary and a greedy little sucker. After all why would she be content with simply one set of pronouns when he can easily collect more? There’s nothing stopping her. They want all the gender they can get. And you’d better watch out cause he’ll steal your heart AND your wallet. Swindle is very proud. Bumblebee is less proud. But they’re happy so he’s happy.

It would appear that the day of Valentine is upon us and for my contribution I'm posting this before I can overthink it again and leave it to continue to rot in my folder

Woe, Swinbee lunch date be upon ye! Don't ask how Swindle managed to set this up because idk either bro. He just like that

Based on this picture lol

Happy valentine's day everyone! I'll just be here suffering with my hyperfixations as per usual

[thegrinningghost]

Imagine:

You’ve been in love for years. Possibly married, possibly not. It didn’t matter, not until now. All they did was talk. Rarely was it ever about anything that wasn’t concerning them or their interests; their personal gain. It was boring, and lately, its toll seemed to weigh heavier upon your shoulders while they continued to carry on dancing blissfully. You’re done. It’s time that they change and grow up, or you’re gone.
