TFE RANT (also spoilers)

Okay, so for those of you who haven't heard of Transformers Earth Spark, it's basically a show where the cybertronian War is technically over and now cybertronians are trying to get used to the life on earth. But they are completely treated like they are animals. If you want to watch the show yourself then go right ahead it should be on Amazon Prime or on Paramount Plus because this will contain spoilers for the first season and the 2nd season so feel free to skip this.

ANYWAY!

So all of you know the Decepticons right?

👆

These guys?

Well, near the end of the last episode of season 1 of Earth Spark they all decided to work together with the Decepticons to take down mandroid, the main antagonist of season 1. There was also two episodes where one of the Decepticons started to have a relationship with the Malto family. Like for example

Nightshade and tarantulas:

And Starscream and hashtag:

See how these two GIFs are completely wholesome? Infact, the first season teaches that even though somebody could be on the opposite side of things that doesn't initially mean that they are a bad guy completely, just misunderstood.

It teaches that everyone can have a second chance if they really try but not everyone can really get that second chance.

And then season 2 comes around,

And BOY was I pissed off about it.

Now I haven't watched season 2 myself but I have watched one episode in it and that's it. remember that I said that the Decepticons finally decided to fight Mandroid thanks to Twitch and that some of the Terrans actually had some decent relationships with some of the Decepticons?

Well season two just completely THROWS ALL OF IT OUT OF THE FUCKING WINDOW!!!

When I watch season 2 I thought it was going to be all cool and hype and I thought everyone was just overreacting over season 2. NOPE! THEY HAD THE RIGHT TO BE UPSET! Because one episode in and I was immediately flashed banged with shock. Robby was explaining after 2 years of like saving cybertronians from Mandroid's destruction the quintus prime Stone (I don't remember what it's called) kind of shattered into like thousands of pieces across the globe. He then says that the Decepticons help them to retrieve them but then they decided to turn on them and get the shards for themselves. EVEN THOUGH THE FIRST SEASON SAID THAT NOT ALL DECEPTICONS ARE BAD!!

Like where did this even come from!? And why make them back into villains when we already saw the shot of them HELPING TWITCH AND HER FAM FROM KILLING ALL CYBERTRONIANS!? Like, what is the point of this!? If you're just going to make them bad guys anyway, why give the Terrans a chance to understand them and sympathize with the 'cons!? You had such a good new take on the Transformers yet you decided to throw away that said good take and just take it back to square one!

WHAT THE HELL HASBRO!?

*SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

And don't get me started with Bumblebee's relationship with Breakdown. You clearly set them up to be best buddies and then you just set that friendship arc on fire and just went on the 'Con vs 'Bot arc again. But the part that pisses me off the most is Starscream's abandon arc. Earthspark *clearly* wanted to make this Starscream as sympathetic as possible and this could have worked well. IF THEY DIDNT MAKE HIM THE MAIN VILLIAN IN SEASON 2!

And I guess prowl appearing in season 3 is kind of nice but it would have been better if he was like the villain instead of Starscream. If they were going to be good Decepticons then there has to be bad Autobots. But hey, Hasbro isnt keen on keeping promises are you Hasbro?

God, you had such a good idea and you just had to ruin it with season 2 and 3. I hope the rumors of Earthspark getting canceled are true thanks to this.

Also, GIVE US A TRUELY, ACTUAL, HEROIC, SYMPATHETIC STARSCREAM FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! **AND DONT FUCK IT UP THIS TIME!!!**

Okay, I think I'm done for now, but I might add a part 2 if I decided to watch the rest of season 2 and season 3.

K bye!

Lucky Winners ❙ ES Bumblebee X f!robot reader X Breakdown ❙ NSFW 18+

Word count: 2300+

Warnings: Smut ( valve in plug and port and double penetration ) threesome, mentions of BreakBee and a pretty tasty sandwich. NSFW 18+.

Notes: This...I really liked this! Thanks anon for sending through it was a lot of fun and excited to share with the world. Enjoy. 🥰

They are at it again. Bumblebee and Breakdown were having a few races together at the track while you watch on, unable to hold back your smile as you admire them both carrying on like sparklings. Honestly, you think it's cute, they both are, and you enjoy spending time with them.

After the horrible events with both G.H.O.S.T. and Mandroid there was a lot to repair and more verbal agreements to be made. All decepticons and autobots are finally working together to repair the space bridge, and to put the differences aside for a better future.

You're an autobot, loyal to Optimus, but even you grew tired of this war. Despite still being considered as young you felt ready for retirement. After the space bridge would be fixed you wanted to revisit cybertron, and from there you're wanting to consider what you want.

What you truly want is to settle, a change to start a family perhaps, but finding the right mech was no easy task. Right now your thoughts and optics are right on both Bumblebee and Breakdown. Both were rather handsome, funny, and they were both kind to you. But of course you can't have both, right?

Your thoughts are interrupted when you hear the sound of engines roaring and tires skidding, both bots come screaming around the track and as always Breakdown beats Bumblebee. They both transform in style right before you then.

"Too slow!"

"Not again! I know you're cheating somehow, there's just no way you can beat me every single time!"

"Just admit that I'm faster to you, Bee." Breakdown gave out a hearty laugh that you are fond of hearing.

"Y/N, to be honest, did he get a head start?" Bumblebee asks, bringing you into the moment.

"Breakdown a cheater? That's a serious accusation." Your tone is playful. "I'm pretty sure you both went off at the same time."

"I want a re-race!" Bumblebee declared.

"Let's make it interesting. Winner takes the prize." Breakdown grins with mischief.

"What prize? You've got nothing to offer!" Bumblebee argues with slumped shoulders before looking at you. "Name the prize, Y/n."

"Me?" You sound surprised. "Well, alright. The winner shall...." You think before giving a shrug, followed by a silky giggle. "The winner gets a kiss from me."

It's a joke, at least that's what you told yourself.

Both Breakdown and Bumblebee stare at you, then at each other, before they transform and are flying down the track as if their lives depended on it.

"Oh." You whisper to yourself as you feel your cheek plating warm up a little. It was a joke, and they both took it very seriously. Surely they didn't seriously think you are being for real?

Well, you sit there, anxiously waiting for the winner to finish. It's not that you were opposed to the thought of kissing either of them, you would like that very much, but perhaps it's just you overthinking it. It's just a kiss.

Eventually they finish, and once again Breakdown is the champion.

"Yes! I get the prize!" He looks rather proud of himself and even eager to get the kiss from you.

"No fair..." Poor Bumblebee sounded like a wounded critter.

"So, Y/n, how about that kiss?" Breakdown cruises towards you, holding a charming smirk as you stand up from the ground in front of him.

"Very well." Leaning forward you caress his cheek, turning his head lightly and kissing his cheek lightly, giving him a dainty giggle noticing his confused expression.

"What? That's all?" You don't miss Bumblebee's amused smile.

"Oh I'm sorry, were you expecting a hot make out session?" You teased with a seductive smile.

"Yeah?"

"That wasn't the prize offered." Patting his cheek you step away crossing your arms across your charris.

"Alright then, put it on the table." Breakdown sounded determined to get that kiss, which makes you blush lightly knowing what he wants from you. "Bee, one more race?"

Bumblebee vented heavily. "Fine! But I'm watching you, no cheating."

"Y/n, all good, kiss on the lips on the table?" Breakdown looks very anxious as he dances lightly on his pedas making you smirk lightly, an idea forming in your mind. It was crazy but you can't help yourself. After all, it's been a while since you've had any intimate fun.

"How about...whoever wins, get's to have me." You declare before leaning yourself against the brick wall and parting your legs a little, your servos cascading over the top of your thighs, teasing the two racers. "And they can do whatever they want with me."

Once again the silence lingers, and after a long moment of waiting, both Breakdown and Bumblebee have driven off down the track once again in a more desperate attempt to win. You can't help but giggle lightly, the joy and thrill already working through your frame as you wait, curious as to who was going to win and have their way with you. You are going to feel so sorry for whoever doesn't win.

As both come around the bend you notice that both are side by side as they floor it towards the finish line. Would this be the race that Bumblebee finally wins?

Keeping your optics at the finish, you anxiously bit your lips and waited, and waited, right before they both crossed. It's a tie.

"It's me! I won!" Breakdown yells as he's letting everyone know he's won.

"No way! I did! I won that race!" Bumblebee argues not wanting to lose this round.

"Y/n, be honest, who's the lucky winner?" Breakdown leaves it to you to decide, smirking lightly as he sends you a charming wink.

Of course though you answer honestly. "You're both the lucky winners."

"What?" Both looked confused at you causing an uplifting giggle to leave you.

"I saw it, and it's a tie, no more arguing about it. Now, if you two are done with your racing, perhaps you both would like to have your prize now?" You tease as you walk back into the sheltered part of the race track, optics illuminating in the shadows as you await their pounce.

It doesn't take long for either of them to do exactly that.

You find yourself being embraced by Breakdown from behind, feeling his servos roaming over your hips and waist, his lips planting against the back of your neck as he lets out a groan just from touching you. Bumblebee stood in front, his lips latched onto your own in a lustful aura, glossa's tangled gentle together as you both let out hushed moans into one another. It seems both didn't have any issues sharing you.

Curiously, you teased Bumblebe's horns between your digits, earning a short gasp from him as he pulled away in surprise, notice his cheek plating heat up from your actions.

"Sensitive?" You ask through a gentle teasing tone.

"Y-yeah, but it's alright." He gives an innocent smile.

"He secretly loves it." Breakdown says from behind you against your audio.

"And how would you know?" You continue to tease.

"I know everything." His tone was very suggestive.

You bit your lips in thought, considering that the two fool around with one another, which you actually found quite arousing. You digits continue to gently tease Bumblebee's horns, enjoying the sounds he made as you both kiss deep again. Breakdown's servo moved down between your thighs earning a low moan from you under their seductive touches.

"I bet you're already soaking for us, yeah?" Breakdown's tone seems to have that in depth effect on you.

"So much." You weren't going to lie or hold back as you spread your thighs a little, rocking your hips down against his touches. Moving your own servo behind you touch his heated panel, your other moving to Bumblebee's panel as you give them firm rubs, making the two groan from your touches. "And I bet you two are eager for this."

Their answer is by moving, and you find yourself straddling Bumblebee on the ground with Breakdown behind you still, feeling him tilt your helm to the side so he can steal another warm kiss from you as you grind yourself against Bumblebee, who has now retracted his panel and you do the same, rubbing yourself along his already throbbing spike. Breakdown does the same and you feel his thick spike rubbing up against your aft earning a thrilled quiver to rush through your frame.

"Are you alright with this?" Breakdown asks you gently, knowing very well you are about to take them both.

"Definitely."

You trust both to take care and satisfy you greatly. You end up retracting your port than for Breakdown and grind yourself against the two mechs to get them even harder and yourself more lubricated.

A lot of your juices have already leaked out and Breakdown uses this to coat his digits and gently probe your port to prepare you for him. The invasion was different but not bad, in fact you find yourself rocking back against his digits, right before positioning yourself over Bumblebee's tip and sinking down on him.

"Oh primus..." Bumblebee moans, servos holding onto your hips as you slowly lower yourself, feeling every ridge press through your inner walls before bending down to kiss him softly.

Slowly you rock yourself, clenching around his spike along with Breakdown's pumping digits, letting out soft mewls that linger and savouring every second of this. You honestly had no idea if something like this would happen again, and so you want to make every second count for the three of you and make sure they never forget it.

Breakdown removes his digits and you hear him shuffling behind before feeling the warm tip of his spike against your port, nudging gently, before he pushes forward slowly. His grunts hit your audio as you tip your helm back against his shoulder, moaning loudly before it's swallowed by his lips over yours, devouring you with his glossa as he continues to inch forward into your tight port.

Bumblebee found the sight of you both above him even more arousing while you rode his spike slowly, his servos resting at your waist while he vents through the heated desire rushing through him.

You take both their spikes fully, feeling every bumpy ridge and throb from them, clenching around them teasingly as you continue to rock yourself slowly against them. "You both fill me so well, so good." You send them both praises. "You can move, please."

"We'll take very good care of you." Breakdown purrs before looking down at Bumblebee. "You ready slowpoke?"

"Bring it, show off." Bumblebee grins at him.

Holding yourself above, both of them start to thrust into you in sync together, slowly and firmly. Your valve and port welcome both spikes eagerly, clenching around them, feeling every ridge dragging across your inner walls. Your optics shuttered as your mouth hung open, constant silky moans forming from you as you let both winners take you as their prize.

Breakdown's heated grunts are deep and continuous, pressing into you repeatedly as his servos grip your waist securely. Bumblebee's moans are different, softer, servos held a sturdy yet gentle hold across your hips, feeling his digits circling into your soft armour which sends pulses of bliss through your already quivering frame.

"Oh frag..." Is all you can whisper out through the intense interfacing you are receiving from two impressive mechs and their throbbing spikes entering you over again in perfect sync.

"Taking us so well." Breakdown whispers hoarsely against your audio, feeling ever heated vent from him as he rocks into you. "Think you can go for more?"

"Easy Breakdown, don't want to hurt her." Bumblebee's concern was sweet, you think to yourself.

"It's alright. Yes, please. I've got two speed racers fragging me. Give me your true speed." You are ready for them, and it's all the coaxing they both need.

It's as if something set off between them, an electric pulse, because the next thing you know is both of them let themselves go, and truly show you the speed racers they are.

Metal hitting metal, scraping together, throbbing spikes now being rutted into your valve and port repeatedly. Both their hips slam against you over again, but of course all you can feel is the overwhelming pleasure boiling through you as you somehow manage to hold yourself up above Bumblebee with shaky arms.

Your overload suddenly snaps, catching you off guard and half broke shout and collapsing against Bumblebee's chassis while clamping tightly around their twitching cables buried deep in you, aftershocks and pulses rocking through your frame as your moans continue to linger out through their rapid thrusts against you.

Both weren't too far behind, and as you let out short whimpers through they final thrusts, you suddenly feel them giving their final movements through their intense moans and filling you deeply with their transfluids, jerky thrusts lingering before Breakdown lays gently across your back, careful to not crush you or Bumblebee.

Laying on top of Bumblebee he turns his helm a little and you end up kissing him softly making him smile lightly in return as his servo caresses your shoulder. Breakdown leans down over your shoulder, moaning a little as you still feel him inside you, before he tilts your helm back to kiss you as well. That wasn't all though, and you watch through inquisitive optics as Breakdown then leans across to kiss Bumblebee.

You already guessed they are fooling around, and it only turns you on.

"Just so you both know, if you ever want me to offer myself as a prize through racing for each of you, I'm keen." You inform them.

"Guess Bee and I will be racing more often than." You can feel Breakdown's grin through his voice.

"One of these days I'll beat you." Bumblebee sounds determined.

"Sure thing, slow poke."

You let out a soft giggle and touch both speeders tenderly. "I can't wait."

Hello! If it's okay to request Can you do the reactions/interactions of TF earthspark to a pod full of sparkling beans?

thank you!

Okay, let's do this!

(I also made a little headcannon about Elita-1, and it's been a while since I started watching the series so I don't know if it would seem like she would do that. I'm not doing the Terrans because I don't have the mental will to do them. And I'm only going to be doing ones that I can actually think of.)

Autobots:

Elita-1, Optimus and Megatron

I feel like if these three were put in charge of taking care of a rouge sparkling found in the woods, they would all co-parent. Elita is the mom, Optimus is the dad, and Megatron is the papa.

Optimus would obviously teach the little one what's right and wrong and would give them a light scolding if they did something bad. I mean, it's a sparkling, they have no awareness of what they're doing.

Elita-1 would teach the little one to fight in self-defense, and somehow actually works? Like, if one of Mandroid's bots tried to take the sparkling, the little one would body slam, the elbow, and all types of wrestling moves. Meanwhile, Optimus and Elita are in the corner, watching this go down. He turns to her and asks, "Did you have them watch W.W.E.?" Meanwhile, Elita just has a proud, smug smile, hands on her hip plates, proud of the little one.

And Megatron would teach the little one about morals and ideals. Considering that he was a warlord that hurt and killed many innocent lives, who is now a better person; he has experience going down a dark road and doesn't want them to come across it and go down that same path that will on bring pain and misery to not just everyone around them, but also themselves once they've acknowledged what they've done.

Bumblebee

Sorry, excuse me, older brother coming through-

He's a good older brother figure and is not afraid to admit it! He does gets annoyed when the Terrans, Mo, and Robby tease him for it.

He's very excited about what their alt-mode's gonna be. Maybe an ice cream truck!

When he sees the sparkling somehow fighting, he's kinda surprised before he recognizes those moves and his face turns into a -_- and asks, "Elita let them watch the W.W.E. again?"

Arcee

Cool aunt, all the way.

Will spoil the sparkling and teach the little one some moves other than the ones in the W.W.E. that Elita-1 let them watch. They need to learn real moves, such as martial arts!

She finds it cute how the little one wouldn't cry when they fall to the ground, but instead stubbornly get back up with some cute honks with a determined face, causing her to cover her smile and hold back laughing at how cute this is.

Will visit the Malto's frequently just for the little one.

Grimlock

I see him as the wise uncle.

He always gives out words of advice and they work, for example, Jawbreaker.

He'll be gentle with the little one but would be aggressive to those who intend to harm or use the sparkling for evil and/or greedy purposes. He does not want them to go through what he went through in the Bot Brawl in Philidelphia.

Doesn't really care about the sparkling biting him, he just sees it as the little one letting out their inner Dinobot, and it's not like it'll hurt him; he can barely feel it.

Wheeljack

The fresh-out-of-jail uncle because of his experiments.

I can see him more like his G1 version around the sparkling. So, if he's doing an experiment and the little one is around, make sure someone will nab the sparkling before it explodes in Wheeljack's face.

Had the things on the side of his head glow every time he speaks because the sparkling enjoys it.

Unknowingly a bad influence with the amount of times they watched him perform experiments only for them to blow up.

Decepticons

Soundwave

New sparkling acquired. Kids, you now have a younger-

Feels like this is a blessing from Primus because of what happened to Rumble. Because of that, he's overprotective of the sparkling, and so are the other Minicons: Frenzy, Laserbeak, Ravage.

He now has something to fill in the part of his spark that died with Rumble's death.

When the sparkling accidentally hurts themselves, Soundwave will feel a sense of guilt as he's trying to heal them up. He's supposed to protect them, but they ended up getting hurt and he feels like he should've done better. But if someone tries to hurt the sparkling, all hell breaks loose. Soundwave and his minicons will hunt down the person who hurt the little one and tear them a new one.

Shockwave

Isn't really emotionally attached at all.

He does take care of them, but will raise them to be strong because, to him, the weak should serve the strong, and he will not raise a weakling. He is also glad that the sparkling isn't a disgusting hybrid like the Terrans.

He would even perform experiments on the sparkling, such as chemical enhancements to make them stronger than the traitorous Megatron.

Would pull a Mother Gothel and manipulate the little one as they grow up that what he's doing is for the greater good and that they are the key to that future.

Tarantulas

Unlike Shockwave, he does get emotionally attached and cares for them like a parent should.

He doesn't want them to live in fear because of GHOST thinking that the sparkling is affiliated with him because he's considered a Decepticon, which is why he decided to make the hologram avatars so they can hide and be safe.

Gave, even made, some toys for the little one that will enhance parts of the processor so they can be an intelligent individual just like their Sire.

At the end of the Missed Connections episode, he gave them to Nightshade so then they would be out of GHOST's hands. Believing that he was captured by GHOST, I think that he would stay there for the sake of the one he considers his own. When in custody, he would never mention anything about his sparkling for their safety.

[vynxwave]

What are your thoughts on the fandom's reaction to the new Earthspark episodes? I feel like so far... it's weird how these episodes are so obviously just the next half of the last batch and there seems to be almost no acknowledgement of that at all? Feels surreal to me. I also think it's interesting how I was dreading people being furious that their headcanons weren't supported but instead while I'm not seeing the furious rage I expected (which is a relief!) it's almost like anything that doesn't line-up is just ignored? I also have seen some of what you expected which is the "This is so much better than the last batch!!!" stuff. Very little analysis so far too, I almost didn't even bother posting the thing I said about Twitch because I initially thought, "Well that's so obvious I'm sure everyone's said it already," only to check and see nobody had! -arceespinkgun

I've definitely seen the same. S3 is so connected to previous episodes it's really a shame people aren't talking about it!

As anticipated, people are still wishing EarthSpark was what they thought season 1 was and this hinders their ability to understand/enjoy this season.

Loootsss of people are angry at how Starscream was I'm seeing. How he is treated makes sense following S2E09 Witwicky because his plan was foiled but he himself hadn't been addressed.

I didn't anticipate him being trapped in Terratronus but it does make sense. His beating on Terratronus's eye reminds me of when he and the other seekers left Swindle and Soundwave behind the anti-energon field that had caught them without pause with Swindle shouting "Starscream! You can't leave us!" while beating on the field — and, most recently, the fact that his betrayal of the Decepticons essentially imprisoned them all again! Of course the Decepticons would leave him up there.

I love that Starscream even made himself a little crown in the tea party shot, making himself look like a king while holding the Cyber Slayer too. He is a far cry from how he was in S2E09 Witwicky when he felt empowered/victorious, and now he acts completely nonthreatening as if it'd help him. He tries to appeal to the Autobots, but because of his very own actions he has nothing actually substantial to offer them; he's hit rock bottom! Him being easily cowed made sense because he's cornered and powerless, unlike the other episodes where he had power/glory in sight, a viable plan, or power actually in his hand. And it is here that Starscream receives some poetic justice — Hashtag using the Cyber Slayer on him.

I've seen some misunderstanding of the Cyber Slayer's ability (not only just now, but since S2)? Mandroid in the S1 finale described it as "For a bot [Shockwave's] size energon depletion is dangerous, for [Terrans] it could be lethal." We see it used on Shockwave, Elita-1, and Optimus Prime in the S1 finale — but it does not kill them. Same with Wheeljack in S2. I was about to add "where did this misconception come from?" but then I reread its name, like ah, that's why.

The direction of the Decepticons is really cool, and it's a shame a lot of people don't like it. Given what Shockwave told Starscream in S2E09 Witwicky I anticipated the Decepticons would be working to get back to Cybertron, so how they were didn't surprise me at all because it's completely in line with how the Decepticons have been built up.

They've been hunted, experimented on, imprisoned, betrayed, and imprisoned again — of course they don't like Earth or want to stay; with Starscream's failure, they have no means of conquering Earth. Shockwave's plan is, of course, the most logical.

One thing I dislike is people's overuse of calling the Decepticons "evil" in lieu of just... not understanding the their motives. Like yes, they are, but people are acting like they have been reduced to black-and-white villains which is so weird. Like, Breakdown was going to offer Bumblebee a hand before Thrash intercepted and helped him up, Shockwave honors the deal he made when Breakdown loses, Shockware doesn't blast Megatron despite him refusing to join the Decepticons, and Starscream reaps what he sows. The Decepticons want to return home to escape the planet they've been imprisoned on, and of course they'll do that by whatever means they deem necessary.

Not too much discussion or analysis of the Quintessons so far, but I reckon that could just be from people not having finished the episodes yet. I can connect a lot about the Quintessons from this new batch to previous episodes, which I'll be posting about probably tomorrow.

I would've thought people would be way more vocal about S1's point about not knowing Cybertron's status being continued in S3 but I haven't really seen it mentioned xD. I thought Breakdown raised a very interesting point!: "You ever think Cybertron might be in trouble and need our help?"

[macking-cheese]

Okay so this probably sounds dumb but at least for now I'm calling it a Mindtrapped AU (my thing with ES Bumblebee getting put under Mandroid's control)

I went back and rewatched the last three episodes of S1 (I replayed Stowed Away. Stowaways so many times I can't count it) but basically I'm rewriting that entire episode plus tweaking the last two. Now I have a canon-relevant reason for Bee going into the G.H.O.S.T Headquarters (his secret mission) and the kids stay home!!!! What compelled them to follow him in canon?! It's like they wanted to get captured or smth,,

So Bee's basically crawling through the walls like a roach to get his business done *insert cool spy stuff that me am not smart enough to write*. I also think that (just my opinion) Optimus kinda acted too obviously suspicious of Croft and that ruined the element of surprise because she immediately clocked that something was up.

And Schloder's complete 180 opinion of Bee?! Wasn't he eager to put that minibot in cuffs just episodes ago??? I think I'm going crazy

Anyway I'm trying to make it flow more cohesively while I build up to the bigger events

I have an oc that would fit perfectly into the plotline but idk if I should actually flesh that out or keep it more canon compliant. On one hand, I'd have an excuse to write them (an unaffiliated Velocitronian bounty hunter with relations to G.H.O.S.T but not officially working for them), and on the other I wanna keep the main antagonist a human (Croft, Mandroid)

Orrrrr, I could write them in and turn it into a double betrayal? (They're so gonna get killed off btw, it was destined in the scriptures)

I'm completely torn on this, y'all can decide whether or not they debut in the fic.

ANYWHO,,,,,,,

Bee gets got at the wrong time and the mission is a failure, and instead of being put in a cell, is immediately put into interrogation (read: torture) for espionage and conspiring with "the enemy". Y'know how everyone else has a badge on their chest/shoulders? Well, Bee gets one implanted directly into his neural net, attached at the spinal cord in the lumbar region, and it's so tightly interconnected that it hurt, threatening to sever the delicate circuitry. (It's fully intended to actually cut the cord if it gets deactivated, a fun surprise for later. I plan on exploring the potential of Cybertronian mobility devices. I also like the prospect of Bee using a cane)

During the fight, Breakdown comes back after getting his shit together, feeling terrible for abandoning his bbg and his family. He takes the responsibility of doing everything he can to keep the mind controlled minibot focused on him and nothing else, which leaves the terrans relatively unscathed at the end. Breakdown just kinda,,, lets his shit get rocked, feeling like he deserves to get beat up like that for even thinking about abandoning Bee. He comes out less unscathed, but alive.

Because it's a different type of control chip, and also connected to a computer at G.H.O.S.T and not that hand thing Croft has, Bee is still under when that big energy wave hits in the last episode, though since the connection was abandoned, there's no input coming through and Bee is left standing there uselessly, waiting for a signal that never arrives.

I think it'd be funny if Breakdown were to try and mess with him, making stupid faces and poking at him to try and get a reaction. He manages to get a few doorwing and horn twitches, and a full body movement when he jostles him hard enough. Other than that, nothing, and it's lowkey disconcerting. None of the others can get any other reaction, and especially Jawbreaker feels somehow responsible and keeps clinging onto him like a koala, hoping that behind the chip, he can feel that his little brother is there trying to support him.

What if the only reaction he gives is because of Hashtag, due to her G.H.O.S.T affiliation? He can sense a signal bouncing through her from that computer and he gives attention to her, awaiting for a command. She of course is freaked out about it but also enamored, because that's one of the craziest situations she has ever been in aside from the major fight earlier.

She can't properly intercept the signal because it's out of access, but now they have a better clue on where to look to shut the computer down and get Bee back.

And boy is that reunion uneasy.

[monocle-teacup]

God, Robby is so annoying. He whines a lot in S2/3. When he gives orders, I just wanna throw up.🤮 Why should they listen to you? Your mom was a lieutenant. You should be discussing plans with others! You are not a soldier and strategist! Get a reality check. I would love someone to smack some sense in him.

And seeing Mo, a ten year old, getting into action by being a “hero” and saving herself and others from death and threats she shouldn’t handle makes me cringe. It’s not fun and easy to avoid dying. I want to do Everything Wrong With so bad. Humans are important, but these Malto brats are the worst.

ES might as well be called The Robby and Mo Show. IMO they're the worst things about it. I'm not opposed to kid characters, but the TFP kids, Cody and Frankie from RB, Rad and Alexis from Armada are actually likable to me.

I'm convinced that part of the reason ES failed is because of how much Robby and Mo are shoved in the audiences faces. They were even prominently featured on a lot of original ES toy packaging. The writing stresses how SPECIAL they are when they'd be nothing without the cyber sleeves. According to the Production Bible, there was actually going to be an episode that had the Terrans and kids getting curb stomped because they let their cockiness get the better of them. Now that would've been interesting character development for them not to rely on the sleeves so much.

A common complaint about the show is that there's no sense of stakes because Robby and Mo just magic the pain away. Although I will say that I'm impressed the cyber sleeves weren't used to resolve the escape room episode in S3. The fight against Mandroid's Moving Lair in Age of Evolution remains one of my favorite things in the show because it was good guys working together and not ass pull powers saving the day.

Let's not forgot that S1 didn't care about Robby, even when he was dying. Now I'm suddenly supposed to care about his love life in S2? It's why I headcanon that everything post S1 is his self insert fanfic. I give him credit for trying to go against the Malto FAMILY thing at points.

Mo is frustrating to me because one moment she'll have more emotional maturity than a lot of adults, then she'll act more like a kid the moment the plot demands it. Her going on and on about FAMILY is also annoying. I still go WTF at her fighting Mandroid in Prime Time.

They don't even show up in my Lotus Au until way later when Mandroid removes the cyber sleeves at the request of Alex and Dot.

What they never showed us in Transformers EarthSpark

Hashtag: Stop it, Starscream, this isn't like you! You're not a bad guy.

Starscream: SINCE WHEN?! When on this worthless Earth have I ever become a quote unquote "good person"?!

Megatron: You were at the Maltos' barbecue last week!

Starscream: Yeah, and I brought potato salad.

Hashtag: The Decepticons can never become good.

Optimus: Everyone, no, you mustn't! We need to work together in order to eliminate the remainder of GHOST's forces!

Hashtag: But I thought defeating Croft and Mandroid meant they were all gone.

Optimus: But there's still a chance that Croft has loyalists out there! (Starscream points his Null Ray at Prime) There are potentially so many more Terrans out there and we need to teach them how to live! (Starscream charges his Null Ray) But we-

Megatron: Optimus, stand aside. You'll only make things worse.

Optimus: (sighs deeply in frustration) Why do I fucking bother anymore?

(later....)

Robby: Starscream, I don't understand. Why would you go back to being evil?

Starscream: Of course you don't get it, organic boy! How could you? You, who had never suffered the atrocities of war like we Cybertronians have? Megatron had sacrificed everything for peace through tyranny, not caring one bit about everyone who gets in his way, not even his own subordinates! But now that he's turned traitor, we have lost the one thing guiding us. The Decepticons have lost their edge. And now, we're practically those Terrans' babysitters! I'm seeing the Seekers hanging out with Arcee, and Breakdown coming to Bumblebee's movie nights! Listen to me, little one! I'M USING HIS FUCKING NAME! But now, with GHOST and Mandroid out of the way, I finally have the chance to take what is rightfully mine and return the Decepticons to greatness, no matter the cost! And if you insist on standing in my way, then I will blast you into ash.

Robby: Oh great, Starscream has a midlife crisis now.

Transformers EarthSpark

First, I'm really glad I finally got to enjoy the first part of Season 2. I didn't have Internet when it was released.

I feel as though some explanation as to why Starscream decided to stop co-operating with the Maltos would have been good – was he running a long con from the beginning? Was he merely angry that they continue to be so friendly and forgiving with Megatron? Is he simply unable to trust and feel safe around humans after Mandroid and Croft? Is it a combination? It feels as though it was glossed over.

On the whole, I enjoyed it very much. I love G1 and that has a lot happen for ~ missing missing reasons ~ too. This is a kids' show – cut it some slack. I do and it means I get to have a lot of fun without worrying too much.

At the moment, the new house is undergoing building work. Lots of building work. The TV is disconnected and buried under a dust sheet, as are the Sky box, PC, router, etc. – when I can, I plan to sit down with a notebook and go over the episodes, this time recording what I think and feel. Right now, I don't have that luxury and binged them quick while I had the chance.

I loved JBAM though. Haha! Jawbreaker can be annoying, but he is also very cute. I'm also glad that the episode involving a rampaging mutant bear in the previous series was addressed – I disliked that one because of the lack of explanation and context. It had felt to me as though it had been randomly tossed in there. Now that it makes more sense, I'll enjoy it better.

The episode with the contest, which gave some insight into Cybertronian history and traditions was awesome too – I love that Megatron went easy on the Maltos because they're humans and kids, while Optimus seemed unhappy that it wasn't the traditional contest to the death.

The build-up to the action went a little bit wrong on my end, because Paramount+ put the episode about OP's trailer up as episode 10. If that hadn't happened, it would have been much more effective.

Coming back to the trailer episode... I enjoyed the humour. Jawbreaker's endless stream of questions and the foot massage, Robby's constant worrying about the extra work inflicted on him by the Decepticons' antics and Optimus's sneeze, which set his horn off. The mischief that a tiny bit of pine sap can cause...

As I say, I've only seen each episode once and the environment I was watching in was quite distracting, so I expect I'll find more to say later. Not sure when that will be, though, so I wanted to put something out there now.

earthspark rarepair/au so read if you want !!Mandroid x karen croft!!

Earthspark would of been better with evil lovers in S1. We don't get pure evil married couples alot in shows and it ANNOYS ME cause I think mandroid x karen is genuinely cute. (I say to me and the 2 other shippers aka my friends because I yapped to them about it)

Like imagine if instead of trying to kill eachother they both actually worked together to try and defeat the Cybertronians. I feel like instead of the usual villain with a soft spot trope they would be perfect to not let their love get in the way of their moral values. They treat eachother how they treat everyone else around them, cruel but work so well together and that's the only thing keeping their marriage from falling apart.

Mandroid is the brains behind the entire plans and Karen is the face, she uses her charm to manipulate people and cybertronians while mandroid focuses on weapons to get rid of the species because he knows croft has everything under control.

There's also another version I like and that them being ex's/divorced and that's why even though they work together they try to kill eachother. Just very Spiteful ex's who are forced to work together to get a job done cause without eachother their plans are doomed. Mandroid needs the extra recourses from g.h.o.s.t and Karen needs the weapons from mandroid.

I also feel like they would of met in university but I'm unsure on what course they both would of taken. I could just think of them being fresh adults and she took him to a hot topic and saw spider themed stuff and that's where he got the idea of arachnimax from.

I honestly would draw ship art of them but I can't draw humans. Low-key scared of posting this ship but it's rotting my brain so just gotta hope I don't get attacked but as far as I know the earthspark fandom is pretty open when it comes to shipping and rarepairs.

[ask-a-bot]

Just capture, Prime? Heh, if only. Sunny said they worked with us Autobots a while back. But if that's true, why did they come for me? I wasn't doing anything for once, just driving through Cali looking for Sunny. Next thing I know, a random human car cuts me off right before a dark van rams me off the road. They wouldn't listen, they could see my insignia! They knew I wasn't a 'Con, they didn't care! They-

Easy, Sides. Wulf and Pyreseus are outside, they won't hear anything you don't want them to.

They stuck me in a cell and put a cerebro shell in my helm. I couldn't even touch the glass without feeling like my processor was going to explode. They laced the energon with sedatives as often as they didn't. They wanted my spark, Prime. I didn't want to give it to them, Sunny, I swear I didn't-

I know. They can't touch us here.

They cracked my chestplates open to look at my spark, poked at us and wondered why mine was so small. One of them talked about shaving another spark down to a similar size to 'see how hardy it is'. They were talking about ways to kill us easier, Prime. 'Bot, 'Con, they didn't care. We wouldn't have worked with them, right?

I'm sorry you went through that. I'm sorry the Decepticons who were just trying to live went through it too. I... suspected Croft of wrongdoing for a long time, but I needed proof.

Had you listened to me-

Try to understand. We are outsiders here and our war has done terrible damage – the humans know we're trapped and have to... try to fit in. We are at a disadvantage-

"Going along to get along" seldom works, Prime!

And big shows of violence and aggression are only going to get us into more trouble!

When have I ever suggested we attack the humans?

You shout, flail your arms and permit your fusion cannon to power up when you're frustrated.

My cannon powers up when I am stressed, Prime. If you must know, it is not a show of anger; it is a nervous tick. It is why I fly away when things are too much.

Oh.

I admit that I struggle to keep my emotions in check. I admit that I am not able to keep calm and diplomatic when I am treated as if I – and my people – as if we are monsters.

However, if I wished to show aggression, I would have ripped Croft apart with my bare hands at least a hundred times over. Mandroid, too.

[daddymus-mamatron]

Greetings, I come in peace. So...I saw your tag about a TFE plot rewrite on a rb and. I'm very intrigued. Please kindly elaborate 🙏🙏🙏 (Forgive me if I'm too nosy! Feel free to ignore this ask. ⁄⁠(⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠•⁠⁄⁠-⁠⁄⁠•⁠⁄⁠ ⁠⁄⁠)⁠⁄

Oh it is a PLEASURE to talk about it!!!

Ramble under cut because it's going to be long

When I was in college I had a class on cinema and my brain decided it'd be my new hyperfixation. Now that'd be fun and dandy except I got a little too into it and all I can see is patterns, archetypes & trope.

Like there is maybe 10 movies/TV shows that I didn't see the plot twist coming from a mile away. My stupid brain pick up on the most minuscule details and unravel the whole plot in a second. Which sucks sometimes.

Enters TFES.

It's great but there's a few sentences/frames that drive me insane.

When they throw the Cons in jail after episode 1, the rest of the Decepticons must know about Mandroid, they'e so close in there and in later episode it's shown they can chit-chat easily

Megatron is nice now and that's it?!?!?? He hunts & imprisons Decepticons and he's free and it's fine?!?!? AND HE STILL WEARS THE DEECPTICON BRAND?!?!?!

Speaking of cells, I knew G.H.O.S.T. was iffy the *Second* they showed the empty cells. THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE NOT EVEN A BENCH OR SOMETHING WTF?!?!

Bee casually mentioning that Rumble exploded because Soundwave was low on energon.

Swindle saying they should wait for the 'plan' instead of breaking out after Hashtag Oops

Bumblebee carrying restraining bolts

Karen torturing the 'Con, how long did that go on for?!?! How come they never spoke up about the torture??!

On the same subject, Tarentulas mentions a gun that erase memories and then we never hear about it again

There's more but I have more things to say so moving on

*inhale* THEN!!! Then there's the deleted scene (The confrontation between Megatron & Shockwave + Soundwave & Starscream freeing Shockwave) THEN!!! Then there's the mentions in the official guide that were never explored/explained

SO

I said fuck it and wrote down all the things that bothered me, asked my pal @shotimus what other things she thought were weird/missing/not explained [Shots is the TF expert, I'm still a noob] and I threw that all together in a blender. Took my favourite parts of multiple continuity (IDW, Aligned/Prime, Shatter Glass, G1 & Earthspark) and made a 6k OUTLINE of the fic I wanted to write.

The one (1) thing I was doubting the most about the plot of the fic, is Starscream is older than Megs & OP in my AU. I saw a comment on Reddit once that blew my mind (goes like this: If we’re sticking pretty closely to G1-esque Starscream, it would be pretty easy to show some more of his motivations for being so conniving. 

Just show some glimpses of the life he imagines he should have and why he is so convinced he should have it, and there could be many specific ways to go about that. All you’d have to do is show why he’s like this—you wouldn’t have to get the audience to think he’s in the right or being reasonable, and it would be interesting.) Took that and ran with it. This post reassured me I wasn't too insane for making SS older

SO

So he's a golden child that got more and more bitter as the war went on and he was more and more abused. Because I have to torture my fav blorbo.

AND THEN S2 CAME OUT

It was so bad.... I have MORE THINGS TO REWRITE. Like Soundwave ripping the 'Con badge off Megatron. There's another thing I wanna talk about it's a surprise so I'll refrain.

And that's where I'm at OTZ

The fic in question is actually a whole ass series because I'm possessed with a demon and I must rewrite the whole show?!?!?

Something Reckless ❙ ES Breakdown x f!human reader ❙ NSFW 18+

Word count: 2200+

Warnings: Smut ( oral and touching ) and robot x human. NSFW 18+.

Notes: Yet another robot x human. This got way out of hand but I have no regrets. I'm in love with Breakdown. I think he's charming. Might consider a part II later. Thanks to anon for sending in request. Enjoy ❤️

I accept Coffee! ☕🥰

Well, not the smartest idea, but you did it anyway. A storm had hit Witwicky and you drove to the Malto's to make sure they were alright, only for your car to get bogged and you ran the rest of the way in the pouring rain and icy wind.

It only got worse when you did arrive and no one was home, however Breakdown was settled in the barn and bunker. After the events with Mandroid, both autobots and decepticons tried to work together and fix the space bridge back to cybertron, which of course was going to take time.

Bumblebee and Breakdown were friends, brothers, and the Malto's offered him to stay which he accepted.

You knew him because you used to work for GHOST. You somehow started talking with Breakdown from his cell, and that’s how you both got to know each other.

You always suspected something wasn’t right within GHOST but by the time you were going to expose the truth all hell broke loose, but you managed to helped the decepticons escape and the terrans to defeat mandroid.

Breakdown kept you safe, helped you even in return. You grew to like him, perhaps a little more than you should've but this you never revealed to anyone.

Now here you were, soaking wet, freezing and stuck. At least you had shelter and company, could've been much worse.

"Thank you, Breakdown. I really shouldn't have driven in this weather. I'm not having the best day at all." You could only let out a soft laugh as you entered the barn and head into the bunker with Breakdown tailing behind.

"It's alright. Guess Dot forgot to tell you she was taking the family away on some weekend thing. Bumblebee did invite me but not my sort of thing."

"I can only hope this storm isn't affecting their weekend." You let out a shaky breath before looking down at yourself. "Shit. I think Dot keeps some clothes in the bunker, in case of an emergency. I need to warm up. You sure you don't mind the company?" You check, not wanting to be a burden to him.

"Nah, I enjoy your company. You're alright."

You beam softly, feeling flattered as you get some dry clothes out for yourself. "I'm nothing special."

"I think you're a pretty special lady." Breakdown chuckles lightly.

This causes you to blush a little. He's called you many things before, including that, but it just hit you differently today.

From the moment you became cell buddies he's been kind to you. He was nothing like the other decepticons. What made you all so different?

"You're very kind, Breakdown." You say before you start to undress.

Breakdown saw what you is doing and couldn't tear his optics away. He watches as you skimmed out of your wet jeans, kicking them across the floor, leaving you in a tight fitting black thong before you unbuttoned your sloping wet blouse that clung to your skin, shrugging it off and tossing that towards the jeans.

You casually hummed and let out a soft sigh as you shivered from the cold, but knew once you dried yourself off and got the dry clothes on you will feel better. The silence in the bunker suddenly comes to your attention and looks over at Breakdown, noticing he is staring at you.

Another realisation. You stand there in your undergarments, wet from the rain, without privacy, not even stopping to think that this would bother Breakdown.

"Oh...shit. I-I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." You feel a little stupid as you turn yourself around, forgetting you were wearing a thong.

"You didn't. I mean...sorry, I didn't mean to stare." He tells you, optics lining over your ass, unable to pry his optics off from you.

"I'm so stupid." You felt like slapping yourself.

"Y/N, hey, you're not stupid." Breakdown tries to tell you as he shifts closer. "I mean, for a human, you have a fascinating figure. I've been thinking about you a lot, and having reckless thoughts."

Hearing this got you to turn your head to face him, realising he was much closer now. His amber optics were so alluring.

"What kind of reckless thoughts?" You ask, nerves building up in you a little. Yeah, you've had thoughts too, but surely he isn't having the same thoughts as you, right?

Breakdown tries to find the right words. "Scrap. Putting me on the spot hey? Well, I like you, Y/N."

"I...I like you too, Breakdown." You say back, turning a little more in front of him. Does he feel the same about you as you do for him? "What are you thinking now?"

"I'm thinking I want to be closer to you, but I don't want to scare you. My thoughts...they're wild, maybe dangerous."

"I thought you liked danger." You can't help but smirk softly as you start stepping closer. "What's got you worried?"

"I'm worried you'll run for the hills once I open up. Bee said I should just talk to you but it's not that easy. I've never been good at expressing myself."

So he's talked to Bumblebee about whatever was going on with himself. You thought that was good, knowing that he trusted Bumblebee and you did as well.

"Then don't express or talk. Just do it." You hear yourself say that with a small shrug.

He stares at you, optics warning. "That sounds reckless."

"I thought you already were. What's stopping you?" You step even closer, feeling the warmth radiating from him against your cold skin.

"I don't want to hurt you." This confession got you to reach out to him and touch his servo under your palm.

"You could never hurt me. I trust you."

Breakdown likes the feel of you touching his servo, distracting him a little, but he hears what you said and that's what got him doing something, definitely reckless.

Gently, he scoops you up under his servo and brings you close to his chassis. You held onto his digit, staring at him curiously, wondering what his next move might be.

He walks over to where he had been recharging in the bunker, his own setup, and sat down with his back pressed against the wall while keeping you in his servo and close against him.

It is you that touches his face, hand sliding across his bright orange cheek plating, and you smile warmly seeing him lean into your touch with his optics closed, a low groan leaving him.

"Y/N, I fear there won't be any going back after this, whatever happens now." He warns you once more.

"I don't want to go back." You admit, and that finally did it.

He brought you closer to his face and leaned forward, pressing his lips against your own. Because of your size difference he was gentle, tender, as his large lips moved across your own.

The kiss broke apart though, making you look at him a little confused when you noticed his hesitancy. "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

"Nah, it's not that, it's just...scrap. I'm going to admit that back on cybertron I was popular with the femmes," You can't help but snort a soft giggle making him chuckle lightly. "I know my way around femmes, but not humans. I'm just not familiar with what you like."

You understood that. Of course he wouldn't know.

"That's fine. It's not like I know my way around cybertronians either. We'll both learn as we go, right? Here, I'll start."

Casually you remove your bra, unhooking it and letting it drop below. His optics widen a little at your breasts, not something he wasn’t used to seeing at all.

Guiding him, you lead his digit towards one breast and press your chest against him, the padding across his digit brushing against your sensitive skin.

"Feels soft." You hear him say. "Delicate."

"Yeah, they are, but they can be fun to touch." You giggle lightly before biting your lips as your nipples perk out under his touches.

Breakdown seemed fascinated by your breasts, and he is being so careful to not push into your skin too hard. Tough out in the field, gentle when being intimate.

"Can I try something?" He asks permission, which you found sweet.

"You can try whatever you like."

"Careful, I might get reckless." He jokes.

"You and me both." Is your answer.

Watching him you see he leans closer into her breasts and watches as his glossa slowly rolls out and runs across your breasts, earning a low moan from you feeling his wet glossa drag across your chest.

"Breakdown." You whisper his name out of reacting, loving the feel of it.

"Yeah?" He questions, making you let out a breathy giggle.

"That feels great."

He sends you a smile before going back to doing that again.

More gasps and moans left you when you feel his glossa run across your breasts again, stomach, and up across your collarbone. Shivers of desire break through you, loving every moment of it.

You feel him letting out a groan against your skin as he tastes you, your body reacting very positively under him.

He goes lower, nearing between your legs where you wore the thong still, but was soaking wet from the rain, and a little from you.

Breakdown moves his servo, his digit running down your back and across your ass, snagging at the fabric a little too roughly and ripping the elastic.

"Scrap, sorry. Hope you didn't need those." How is he so charming and funny like this?

"I've got others." You manage to answer between heated breaths. "Like I said, try whatever you like."

Helping yourself you remove the ruined thong and drop them below, and you sit fully naked in his servo, gazing up at him with lust and curiosity.

He seems to have the same stare, amber optics lingering across as if he wants to read every little detail he could about you.

"You're beautiful." His words make you smile.

"And you're handsome." You say back, leaning up towards his face and kissing his lips tenderly with your hand running along his cheek plating again.

He moves lower again, so close, his glossa flattens against your skin before you feel it right between your legs. This seems to be what he wants to try, and you can't help but become more aroused knowing what he has on his mind.

You feel the warm wetness directly against your core, lingering as it drags up a little, before rolling back down, then between your slit.

A surprised moan leaves you, the sensation and pleasure suddenly starts to boil so fast in your belly while you cling onto his helm. Automatically, you open your thighs for him to have better access, and you can feel his smirk against you before the tip of his glossa invades you.

He holds you up as you hold onto his helm, thighs open across his mouth while throaty moans and sharp gasps leave you. His heated vents hit against your skin, his warm thick glossa moving back and forth inside your depths as he pretty much tongue fucks you, and you feel yourself in a world of bliss.

His humming sends vibrations from your core up directly through your entire body.

Your response is to rock your hips against him, riding his mouth gently as your hands run across his helm and gripping at different areas.

"Oh fuck!" You can't help but curse out, letting out whimpers as you feel yourself coil, but hold back as you don't want to cum so fast just yet, although he is making that a little hard for you.

Breakdown enjoys your reaction, but even more he enjoys the sweet juices coming from you. Very different to a femme's valve he thinks to himself, and somehow he finds yours so much more addictive.

He presses his glossa deeper inside, stretching you tight depths and making you suddenly fall apart through an intense orgasim as you cling tightly onto his helm, crying out a long moan. You couldn't help yourself, he is just that damn good.

Even after your orgasim he continues to do what he's doing, tasting everything and making sure he got every last drop of your juices. It is very intense, but you love every second of it.

He stops, moves away with you supported against his servo and chuckles lightly at you. "Was it that good?"

"So good." You manage to answer, smiling fondly at him.

Breakdown gets up then and picks up a blanket that was with the spare clothes, before he wraps it around, making sure you weren't just pressed against his metal before sitting back in his area with you.

"What about you?" You can't help but ask as you snuggle into the blanket.

"Nah, I'm good. We'll have time and opportunities to explore further. I don't want to push you too much." He answers.

Knowing there are going to be more opportunities already makes your stomach flip with excitement. "Sounds wonderful."

"I'm glad you got stuck with me." Breakdown smirks lightly, gently settling you up close to him with the blanket wrapped around you for you to rest on.

"We can be reckless next time." You say softly into his audio which earns a satisfied chuckle from him.

"Looking forward to it, Y/N."

[autobot-ratchet]

earthspark episode 9+10!

hfgdjs I love how they've been building up ghost as this super skeevy morally grey organization that's using the autobots to further their anti-con agenda but they're all just cringefail losers, including that one dude from earlier who was hunting Twitch

"it's been 30 years! well, 15 for you." okay so I'm completely justified in feeling weird about everyone being so cool with Megatron lmfAO he was absolutely doing decepticon shit on earth within recent memory

THE BUMBLEBEE SUIT........

I love how we're slowly but surely playing with the idea of gender-swapping more and more bots (in particular, swapping from male to female since yknow. there's like 1000 male bots and like maybe 20 females if you really scrape for the obscure ones lmfAO)

I barely have anything to say about this scene, this is just some good, good action lmAO

as much as I poke fun at Dr. Mandroid, I am immediately interested in his villainous angle here, especially in tandem with ghost's deal and Optimus and Megatron's moral dilemma, I'm seeing the overarching themes, I am the noticer

fhdsjak come on Op you gotta pinky-swear

aw I'm glad Optimus arranged things so that he can still go with the Terrans, I was fully prepared for him to have to be like "eermmm sorry, I know I pinky-swore, but actually I gotta go do ghost things you know how it is." also more Megatron-Dorothy time hell yes I'm so ready

oh I LOOOOOOOOVE how Dorothy holds onto Megatron's leg as he walks, like it's a practiced motion they've done a thousand times oughgjdsfgu I forgot how much I love human/bot relationships my fucking neurons are ACTIVATED

oh shit these spider droid things can do it all

GET HIS ASS DOROTHY

ooh tell me the LORE mandroid, he hates literally all parties involved and I wanna know why, spill the teeeeaaaaaa

there's that spidery symbol again (edit: I was playing Earth Wars and saw that symbol again in that game, it's Quintus Prime's crest lmAO I kinda thought it was gonna be Tarantulas-related since I know his ass is in this show somewhere)

"go ahead, kids, you got the touch." and the fuckin synth music kicking in shut uuuUUUPPP

the ember stone, huh? I did call it a matrix rock before but it looks absolutely nothing like the matrix lmAO so yeah that's fair that it's an entirely different object

I love that they wrote Alex to just. have transformers as a special interest, I love how it works in both canon and meta, I love transformers lore lmAO

once again crossing my fingers and praying for the cyber sleeves to equip the human children with weapons to protect themselves

uhhhgfhdsj I'll come back and edit this post with what the cybertronian writing says later, I wanna watch right now lmAO besides I'm willing to bet it says the same thing the wall did, "in times of need, help shall rise to your call," that fits for this situation (edit: it does not lmfAO it says "Evolution of hope.")

OH NEW GUYS, THAT ONE'S NIGHTSHADE RIGHT THAT'S MY FELLOW THEY/THEM USER HIIIIIIII

oh shit they actually caused a cave-in

happy birthday kids, now escape mortal peril lmAO

oh of course Nightshade's a little fruity with it lmfAO also I gotta say, I'm pleasantly surprised by the masculine voice, usually when an agender individual shows up in a piece of mainstream media, they're very clearly feminine/afab since the general cis population thinks that agender people are just weird and quirky women and have a hard time grasping the concept of amab folks being anything other than Male so I'm happy to see this

I love that everyone else in the show also just calls this dude Mandroid lmfAO like even during serious scenes, they're not even dunking on him like I am, he really did just fuck up his introduction forever

"he or she just doesn't fit who I am" oh it warms my heart to hear that in a mainstream transformers cartoon aaaAAAAAHHHH..... and I was afraid they'd handle that in a really clunky way, especially when I heard that a character literally says the words "Nightshade's pronouns are they/them" in the script, but that felt natural enough in its canon context. also I do feel a tiny bit of vindictive glee at them specifically saying "he or she" is not correct, cannot TELL you how many times I've seen people use "he or she" to refer to a group of people when "they" would've worked just fine, just REALLY letting me know you think there's only two options

ohhh hearing Optimus prime respect someone's they/them pronouns has my heart soaring lmAO it feels like my veins are filled with liquid sunshine, feels good feels right feels organic!!! literally every time I start doubting my gender and thinking I should just go back to presenting as cis, I hear someone refer to someone else with they/them pronouns just casually like it's not even an issue and the gender euphoria goes DINGDINGDINGDINGDING!!! and like truly what choice do I have but to be more of a they/them than ever lmAO

I said it before but I love how involved Dorothy is with the action in this show. It always made me happy that June got to be part of the team in transformers prime but she was a doctor, not a fighter. I am specifically glad that Dorothy is fucking shit up in this cartoon lmAO it rules

Millie Winchester- Season 2

Nightshifter- 2

Ronald fired the rifle into the air again, as the people began screaming and ducking for cover.

"Get down, damn it!" Ronald yelled. "Come on, on the floor, on the floor! In the middle! On the floor in the middle! In the middle on the floor! Come on! Hurry up, come on!"

The Winchesters were walking down the hallway towards the main hall where Ronald was as panicked people rushed past them. 

"And you two said we shouldn't bring guns." Dean snarked.

"Oh, I am so sorry." Millie apologised, insincerely. "Next time we go to the bank we will bring the entire artillery. I'm sure that won't look suspicious at all."

"Just let me do the talking. I don't think he likes you very much, Agent Johnson and Thompson." Dean told his siblings.

Ronald held up a key to the people sat on the floor. "Now, there's only one way in or out of here, and I chained it up. So nobody's leaving, do you understand?"

"Hey, buddy. Now, why don't you calm down? Just calm down." Dean said, as he, Sam and Millie walked into the hall, while Ronald stared at them wide-eyed.

"What the-? You!" Ronald shouted, raising his rifle and aiming at the three. "Get on the floor, now."

"Okay, we're doing that." Dean assured him, as they got on their knees and held up the hands in surrender. "Just don't shoot anybody, especially us."

"I knew it. As soon as you three left. You ain't FBI. Who are you? Who are you working for, huh? The men in black? You working for the Mandroid?" Ronald questioned.

"We're not working for the Mandroid!" Sam told him, frustrated.

"You shut up!" Ronald screamed, pointing his finger at Sam, then Millie. "I ain't talking to you. I don't like you. Or you."

Dean gave an 'I told you so' look to his siblings.

"Fair enough." Sam said, quietly.

"But everyone likes me." Millie muttered under her breath, confused.

"Get over there." Ronald ordered one of the hostages. "Frisk them down, make sure they got no weapons on them. Go!"

One of the bank workers came over to frisk the Winchesters. When he got to Dean, he found  knife in his boot.

"Now what have we here?" Ronald asked, smugly.

"I'm not just gonna walk in here naked." Dean defended himself, seeing his brother and sister giving him a look.

"Get back down." Ronald told the hostage, taking the knife off of him. He dropped the knife in the deposit box, as Dean protested.

"We know you don't want to hurt anybody. That's exactly what's gonna happen if you keep waving that cannon around. Why don't you let these people go?" Dean suggested.

"No! I already told you. If nobody's going to stop this thing, then I've got to do it myself."

"Hey, we believe you. That's why we're here." Dean told him.

"You don't believe me. Nobody believes me. How could they?"

"Come here."

"What? No." Ronald protested.

"You're holding the gun, boss, you're calling the shots. I just want to tell you something. Come here." Dean said. Ronald approached him, cautiously and leaned in so Dean could whisper. "It's the bank manager."

"What?"

"Why do you think we've got these getups, huh? We've been monitoring the cameras in the back. We saw the bank manager. We saw his eyes."

"His laser eyes?"

"Yes. No. No! No, look, we're running out of time, okay?" Dean yelled. "We've got to find him before he changes into someone else."

"Like I'm gonna listen to you. You're a damn liar." Ronald sneered, raising his rifle. Dean stood up, carefully, holding up his hands. "I'll shoot you! Get down!"

"Take me. Okay? Take me with you, take me as a hostage. But we've got to act fast. Because the longer we just sit here the more time he has to change." Dean told him. "Look at me, man. I believe you. You're not crazy. There really is something inside this bank."

"All right. You come with me. But everyone else get in the vault!" Ronald yelled.

Meanwhile, outside, an officer was waiting for the other police to arrive.

****************

"Come on, move. Move! Move, move!" Ronald ordered, as the hostages, including Sam and Millie, entered the vault. Ronald looked at Dean. "And you lock it up."

Dean began shutting the heavy door. "It's okay, everyone. Just stay cool."

Dean shot an apologetic look to his siblings, who sighed, frustrated at the situation they were now in, and concerned about their older brother.

"Who is that man?" A young redheaded woman asked.

"He's our brother." Millie told her.

"He is so brave." The woman sighed, obviously infatuated. Sam and Millie exchanged exasperated looks.

*****************

Ronald had his gun raised as they entered the manager's office. Dean walked in, having removed his disguise and was back in his flannel shirt, and gestured to the desk as he checked in the back room. "Check behind the desk."

Dean came rushing back when he heard Ronald yelling and falling to the floor. Ronald turned his head to see what he had slipped on, and noticed a slimy pile of skin. He screamed, jumping up and gesturing to it with his gun.

"What the hell is that?"

Dean turned the lamp so he could see it. "Oh, great. When it changes form, it sheds its old skin. So, now it could be anybody."

Ronald picked up a piece of the skin, sniffing it. "It's so... so weird. Its robot skin is so lifelike."

"Okay, let's get something straight. It's not a Mandroid. It's a Shapeshifter."

"Shapeshifter?"

"Yeah. I mean, it's human, more or less. Has human drives- and in this case it's money. But it generates its own skin, it can shape it to match someone else's features, you know, taller, shorter, male."

"So it, it kills someone and then takes their place?" Ronald asked.

"Kills them, doesn't kill them. I don't think it really matters." 

"What are you doing?" Ronald asked, noticing Dean moving to grab something. He picked up a letter opener from the desk and examined it, sighing in relief when he saw it was silver.

"Nice. You remember the old werewolf stories? Pretty much came from these guys. Silver's the only thing I've seen that hurts them. Come on, Ronald." Dean said, leading the way out of the room.

Ronald grimaced at the skin, then followed Dean out with a grin, happy that he was right about something suspicious going on.

Outside, a helicopter, S.W.A.T. police and the Channel 8 News van arrived at the scene. A red car pilled up and a detective got out. He made his way to the command van where several officers were watching the monitors.

"How we doing?" The detective asked one of the officers.

"Another day in paradise." The officer sighed.

"No one's come out yet?" 

"This guy locked himself in. First thing he did."

"All right. Cut the power." The detective said.

****************

Ronald was following Dean down the hallway, still chuckling, which Dean noticed.

"What are you, nuts?" Dean asked.

"That's just it. I'm not nuts. I mean, I was so scared that I was losing my marbles. But this is real. I mean, I was right. Except for the Mandroid thing. Thank you."

"Yeah, don't mention it." Dean said, when suddenly the power cut out, causing the emergency lights to click on. "Damn it! No, no, no, no, no."

"What? What is it?"

"They cut the power. Probably their way of saying hi." Dean told him.

"Who?"

"The cops."

"The cops?!" Ronald asked, somehow shocked.

"Well, you weren't exactly a smooth criminal about this, Ron. I mean, you didn't even secure the security guard. He probably called them."

"Well, I didn't think to-"

"All right, hang on, hang on, let's just take a breath here for a second, all right?" Dean interrupted. "They probably got us surrounded. They've cut the power to the cameras so there's no way of telling who the Shapeshifter is. It's not looking good, Ron."

A noise nearby caused Ronald to flinch and raise his rifle. 

"Did you hear that?" Dean asked.

******************

Back in the vaults, most of the hostages were fanning themselves and trying not to panic, while Sherry, the redhead, was babbling on about Dean to Sam and Millie, who were ready to take their chances with the Shapeshifter or Ronald's rifle to get out of the conversation.

"Has your brother always been so, um, wonderful? I mean, staring down that gun. And you know the way he played right into that psycho's crazy head, telling him what he wanted to hear? I mean... he's like a real hero or something." Sherry grinned.

"Yeah. Yeah." Sam nodded, bored.

Millie plastered on a fake grin. "Hey, you want to know what my brother finds really attractive in a woman?" Sherry nodded, excitedly. "He really digs the mysterious type. You know? The ones who never say a word."

Sherry smiled, happy to know how to attract her handsome hero, while Sam raised a subtle eyebrow at Millie, who shrugged back. She could die in the vaults- she was not going out while hearing how 'hot' her brother was. Suddenly, the vault doors opened revealing Dean with a handgun.

"Oh, my God. You saved us! You saved us!" Sherry cried out with joy.

"Actually, I just found a few more." Dean told her, as Sherry stared at him in confusion as more people were ushered into the vaults. "Come on, everybody, let's go. Let's go."

"What are you doing?" Sherry asked.

"Sam? Millie? Look, uh, Ronald and I need to talk to you." Dean told his siblings. They walked out the vaults as Dean shrugged apologetically at the hostages before locking them in again. "It's shed its skin again. We don't know when- it could be in the halls, it could be in the vault."

"Great. You know, Dean, you are wanted by the police." Sam reminded him.

"Yeah."

"So even if we do find this damn thing- how the hell are we gonna get out of here?" Millie asked.

"Well, one problem at a time. All right, I'm gonna do a sweep of the whole place, see if we can find any stragglers. Once we get everyone together we've got to play a little game of find-the-freak, so... here." Dean handed a silver knife to Millie and one to Sam. "Found another couple of these for you. Now stay here, make sure Ronald doesn't hurt anybody, okay? Help him manage the situation."

"Help in manage?! Are you insane?!" Sam asked, raising his voice. Ronald looked over at the siblings. Dean noticed and gave Ronald a grin and a thumbs up, while Sam nodded, trying to calm down, and Millie gave a small wave, all of which reassured Ronald.

"Look, I know this isn't going the way we wanted." Dean said, quietly.

"Understatement!" Millie whisper-shouted.

"But if we invite the cops in right now, Ronald gets arrested, we get arrested, the Shifter gets away, probably never find it again, okay?"

Sam gestured, exasperatedly, to Ronald who was peering out the window in plain view with his rifle.

"Ron! Out of the light!" Dean told him. Ronald stepped away, while Dean turned back to his shocked siblings, chuckling.

"Seriously?" Millie asked.

"Yeah, Ron's game plan was a bad plan. I mean, it was a bit of a crazy plan, but right now crazy's the only game in town, okay?" Dean said. He slapped Sam on the shoulder, ruffled Millie's hair, then left. The two remaining siblings looked at Ronald. 

"Hi, Ronald." Sam sighed, while Millie gave an awkward smile. Ronald smiled back.

Meanwhile, Dean crept along the dark hallways with a flashlight, listening for any sounds.

*****************

Back in the vaults, the hostages continued to fan themselves, the guard was clutching at his chest, while Sherry was angry.  The vault opened revealing Sam, Millie and Ronald.

"I'm going to leave this open. Give you guys some fresh air, all right? But no one leaves this vault." Sam told them. A phone rang, causing Ronald to spin around, panicked and holding up his rifle. Millie was quick to place a hand on the rifle to lower it, trying to calm Ronald down.

"I don't understand. Why are you helping him?" Sherry asked.

"You wouldn't believe us if we told you." Millie told her.

"Hello?" Ronald answered the phone.

"I think I gotta get out of here." The guard called out in a pained voice.

"Sir, I'm very sorry, but you're just going to have to stay put, all right?" Sam said.

"What? What do you mean, demands?" Ronald asked the person on the phone.

"Ron. Hang up." Millie told him.

"No, I'm not a bank robber."

"I gotta really get out of here." The guard said.

"Sir, you can't leave." Sam repeated.

"I'm kind of a crime fighter, I guess." Ronald smiled.

"Ronald!" Millie called out, urging him to hang up. A few of the hostages began helping the guard to the door, who was barely able to stand.

"Look-" Sam began.

"No, I'm acting alone." Ronald said. Millie rushed to the phone, hanging it up. 

"Ronald? The less the cops know, the better." She explained.

"Hey! This dude's having a heart attack." One of the hostages, a black, middle-aged man, called out.

"Get a doctor." Another cried.

"Great. Could be our guy. Could be a trick." Sam sighed.

"You just going to let the man die?" The first hostage asked.

"No one's dying in here." Millie told them, then looked to Ronald. "Cover the door."

Millie picked up the phone. The detective was on the other side of the phone call.

"Can you tell me how many hostages this guy's taken?" The detective asked.

"Look, one of the people could be having heart trouble. You need to send in a paramedic." Millie told him.

"Just stay calm, ma'am, we'll have you folks out of there-"

"Just send in the paramedic, okay? And don't try anything else. Please." Millie interrupted.

"Paramedic?" The hostage asked. "We don't have time for that, man!"

"Listen. I'm sorry, okay? I am. But nobody's getting out." Ronald stuttered.

"He's dying right in front of you." The man said.

"Help!" The guard pleaded.

******************

Back in the hallways, Dean stopped when he noticed a ceiling panel askew. He picked up the coat rack and began poking at it until he dislodged it, causing a naked body to fall to the floor. He turned it over, revealing the hostage who had been helping the guard. The man had his throat slit.

******************

"Come on, man. You've gotta unlock the front door." The Shapeshifter said. "We've got to get him out of here."

Ronald cocked his rifle, causing the hostages to jump back in fear. "Both of you stay where you are."

Dean returned, whispering something to Sam and Millie, while the Shapeshifter watched them warily.

"You know, Ronald, he's right." Sam said. "We've got to get this man outside. Come on. I've got you."

Sam and Millie both grabbed the guard from the Shifter, with Sam getting between the guard and the Shifter, while Millie kept her eyes on him from her angle.

"Yeah, yeah, let me help you." The Shifter offered.

"Oh, we got him. It's cool." Millie assured him. "Thanks."

Sam and Millie brought the guard out of the vaults and away from the Shifter, while Dean approached it, glaring.

"Hey, can I talk to you for a second?" Dean asked.

The Shifter chuckled, mirthlessly. "You got the gun, man. I mean, whatever."

As soon as the Shifter was close enough, he attacked Dean, knocking him to the ground and running down the hallways. Dean got up and chased after him.

"Stop! Come back here!" Ronald shouted, as Sam, Millie and the guard turned around. 

Ronald raced after him, pausing by the window. Sam and Millie noticed the laser on Ronald's back and yelled at him to get down, but it was too late. The sniper fired, shooting Ronald in the back. The Winchesters watched in horror as Ronald slumped to his knees, then to the floor, dead.

A/N- Apologies for the late update. I've not been feeling very well lately, but I am better now, so updates will be back to normal.

Okay I feel like I need to bring this up but, has everyone forgot about Swindle almost KILLING Robby and Mo? In his introduction episode he straight up held Mo at blaster point when Thrash and Mo realized he was lying to them! Like, I never forgot that! And seeing some fans saying that Swindle should be Thrash's dad2 horrified me, because WHY would he EVER want the one bot who threaten to harm his older sister as his DAD2??? 1-3

Hi anon! I'm including all the asks in 1 post to make it easier. People probably didn't forget, but it's undeniable that most of the fandom's focus is Starscream in S2A. Swindle is a fan favorite so it's not surprising that some people want him to be Dad2 to Thrash.

For as many complaints as I have about the execution of ES' concepts, the fact of the matter is that the message the show originally wanted to convey in S1 is a great one: The idea that it's important to judge a person based on their actions and not who they are. The whole Swindle thing in House Rules is the writers saying that that notion should be taken with a grain of salt. Except the rest of the season proves to have a strong bias for Cons in general with framing humanity as being a bunch of assholes if they have a problem with TFs (Mandroid and Croft are most certainly assholes though) . Mo even calls Dot out about being friends with Megatron to which Dot responds "That's different. Megatron has truly changed." The same Megatron that is upfront about enjoying a good fight, gives Bumblebee the advice of using intimidation to deal with problematic underlings, and we all know how his reunion with Starscream went in What Dwells Within.

I wouldn't say Shockwave cared when it came to telling Mo to leave. I feel like it was more plot armor at work, especially with him not killing Thrash despite his disgust.
