Tarantulas 🕷️🕸️🕸️

Reader with a disability- like a lost limb or two. And their cypertronian friendo’s make them new limbs?

I’d personally like to see it with the Decepticon‘s. But I’ll take anyone.

Used the wheel spinner to pick a character for this one, and you got tarantulas, and he was actually a lot of fun to write. Based him quite a bit of the earthspark Tarantulas.

___________

They sit off to the side as Tarantulas works. Not being able to do much else other than wait for him to finish his work. The scarring on their leg aches and it makes them twitchy for sitting so long with nothing to do. "How much longer?" They ask softly trying not to scratch the area

He glances over at the human, a soft click comes from his mandibles. "Patience, my friend. These things cannot be rushed." He turns back to his workbench, carefully assembling components of the new prosthetic he was working on. "I assure you, the end result will be well worth the wait." 

 

They continued to sit there for a moment but eventually decided they were sick of just sitting. using the equipment beside themself they pull themself to stand, keeping a hand on it while hopping closer trying not to fall over. Tarantulas' optics briefly flicker towards them as they uncomfortably hop closer, clearly struggling without the support of their prosthetic. He pauses in his work, claws delicately holding a small metallic component mid-assembly. 

"I would not recommend straining yourself in such a manner," he says evenly. "The device will be completed as efficiently as I am able. injuring yourself will only hinder the process. One of his claws came out to steady them. He clicks the part into place with meticulous care, then glances back at the human.

"I'm bored sitting here Tarantulas" they admit while moving closer using his arm as a guide closer. "Can you put something on for me to watch or something, I can't handle just sitting here in silence, please I'd even suffer listening to the music you like so much" they hand brushes against his plating as they stand against his frame, pressing their head against the spider furr of his plating.

Tarantulas lets out an exasperated hiss as the human presses against him, interrupting his concentration. Still, he suppresses the urge to shove them away, he rumbles softly reminding himself they were a touchy one, it was only them and not someone else touching him. 

"Very well," he grumbles, reaching a clawed hand to tap at a nearby console. "I shall provide some 'entertainment' to distract that feeble organic processor of yours." The screens in his lab flicker to life, he types away for a moment with his other talons and brings up some mind numbing videos. He bristles again when their hand runs over the furr before he settles again. "Try not to leak your oils and fluids on my exoskeleton," he snarks slightly but settles into the light touch. He lifts them up, settling them between his shoulder plate and helm, talons subtly guiding them until they had sat comfortably. " now you're just being a dick" they state with amusement while snuggling against him. 

He turns back to the delicate work with a few small clicks. Tarantulas narrows his optics at the human's crass words, but otherwise does not acknowledge their playful jab. His thoughts are focused solely on completing the task at hand. With meticulous precision, he settles back into work, a talon coming up to check on them occasionally to check if they had fallen asleep. They'd make a small noise but other than that they were content watching the videos. 

Tarantulas soldiers the final connections, tweaking the calibration. "It is done," Tarantulas announces, and they peek up to look at the finished prosthetic. "Your patience has paid off. Shall we test its capabilities?" He holds up the brand new leg for them to look at for a moment. With care he helps them off his shoulder, setting them down gently. Once they are seated, he works quickly; multiple talons move with skill to fit the prosthetic into place, ensuring the connections are seamless. 

"How does it feel?" he asks while making sure to attach it the right way, checking to make sure the pins didn't pinch on the attachment, as he watches their reaction he's already working on another design in his processor. "Walk with it. Carefully." He steps back, folding all his arms but one as he watches for any sign of instability.

He olds one out for them to use encase they needed it, but For now, he watches. As they stand up and put pressure on it, it feels different to the other prosthetic. The first few steps are wobbly with Tarantulas guiding them with a servo to make sure they don't trip. "Feels weird, lighter than the last one.Tarantulas watches closely as the human takes their first tentative steps with the new prosthetic. His optics brighten with fascination at seeing his engineering in action. “What did you change?". It wasn't as heavy as the last prosthetic he had made for them. 

"I utilised a lighter alloy in its construction to reduce overall mass, while integrating cybertronian servo-motors to enable more natural movement. They should also allow for greater precision and control compared to your previous prosthesis," Tarantulas explains, a hint of pride creeping into his voice despite himself.  

"In time, it should function almost similarly to your original organic limb, perhaps even surpassing it in strength and capabilities. I can continuously refine the design as needed." He gestures to his workbench, laden with tools and components. "For now, simply continue acclimating yourself to it." His optics gleam with anticipation. It was something almost simplistic but they needed it.

 They continue walking around on it testing the feeling of the new prosthetic, after they sit down and watch the way the hinges bend with each time they straighten and bend their leg. "Still don't know how you do it Tulas, you would be an awesome prosthetic manufacturer you know" they shoot him a delighted smile. Tarantulas lets out an amused huff at the human's praise. 

"An 'awesome prosthetic manufacturer'? Hardly a fitting aspiration for one such as myself." He turns back to tidy up his workstation, sorting tools and components with methodical efficiency. "I engineer these enhancements purely as scientific curiosities, and for the opportunities they provide in helping you."  Picking up a small welding tool, he regards it thoughtfully as he continues. "But I admit, it is gratifying to see my creations appreciated."  

“Got a soft spot for me Tula?” they tease at him. Tarantulas sets down the tool and moves closer to the human, gently flicking them with one of his talons.  "But thank you, I know it probably doesn't mean much to you due to being Cybernetic, but this means alot to me to be able to walk, and you're making it easier with the knee bending." It's a sincere thank you. They look over at the other prosthetic. "Do you know why this one broke?" 

Tarantulas picks up the damaged prosthetic leg, turning it over in his claws as he examines it closely. "Inferior craftsmanship," he hisses in disdain. "Not unexpected from those human manufacturers. They lack true vision." He traces a talon along a cracked seam in the prosthetic's casing. "Substandard materials and shoddy construction. I could improve upon this base design in recharge."

Setting the leg down, Tarantulas turns his optics to the human. "Do not trouble yourself with their inept handiwork any longer. You shall walk solely on my creations from now on." 

They laugh at his crase words shaking their head in amusement, it was nice to see him enjoying working on something that to him was so basic yet to them was a life altering thing. They smile back at him as they disconnect the prosthetic, placing it in their lap to look it over. "It's pretty, didn't take you as an artist type Tula" they hum in amusement while admiring the patterns etched onto the fake leg.

Tarantulas tilts his head quizzically at the human's comment about his artistic sensibilities. "Artistry? Hmpf. I merely adorn my creations to...satisfy your simple organic aesthetic preferences." He steps closer and runs a talon along the etched patterns in the prosthetic's casing. "But I admit, an elegant design does complement the engineering within."

Tarantulas would have made a great father figure for Nightshade and If anything happens to tarantulas I won't be very happy

[amebanworld]

And this is another reason I loved S1, but gave up the following seasons.

I need Tarantulas back in the next batch of earthspark episodes 🥺 his dynamic with Nightshade melts my heart

"It’s almost a game now, watching you and pretending to let down his guard. Waiting to see when you’ll seize an opportunity that he’s given you, because he almost enjoys the challenge of catching you again and again." ... so tarantulas is into pred/prey play is what im hearing /hj

Honestly, I’d think any Cybertronian with an animalistic alt like him, Waspinator, or Grimlock would love pred/prey play or hunting a partner. And the behavior might get accidentally triggered without meaning to

18+ scenario content 🌶️

Waspinator x Reader

• Finally back? Antenna perking up as the door opens, he knocks over an end table to greet you. Hearing your startled inhale as he picks you up, mandibles grazing your cheek and neck. And hissing softly at the new scent on you. A stranger’s scent instead of his. Venting against you, he ignores your attempts to push his head away as he chases that unwanted smell.

• He’s always clingy, but this is different. Is he smelling you? And it clicks, one of your coworkers had given you a hug. “Personal space,” you tell him, pushing at him more firmly and he catches your fingers in his mandibles, his servos dragging you flush to him and then pushing you both back until your back hits the wall. Shocking you since he’s always fidgety and submissive, but not now. He’s agitated.

• “Waspinator’s friend. Waspinator’s hive,” he hisses letting you tug your fingers from his mandibles so he can run them and his inner mouth against your throat. Feels you shudder against him as he rubs himself against you, replacing that scent with his. Wings buzzing in agitation as his glossa slides against your warm throat and you make a new noise that thrums through him. Hands catching you and lifting you to pin more firmly against him.

• Mortified as he moves against you, you know it’s been a while for you, but you can’t believe your blood is heating at the feel of him touching you. That you want more. And you could smack him and he’d drop you and go back to his normal oddly sweet awkwardness like this never happened, you’re sure of it. “Waspinator’s,” he insists, buzzing voice deepening as his servos fight with your clothes. Growling at you when you try to help him figure out how to strip you, aware of his claws tearing your clothes. Of him pushing you back against the wall and his spike branding your inner thigh as he shifts against you.

• Can’t stop, doesn’t want to. Feeling your hands on him, not pushing him away or yelling. Allowing this as he shifts his grip until he finds you. Your scent shifting into something new, something he needs as he pulls you down onto his spike. Hearing your gasping cry, stirring predatory instincts as he moves against you. Claiming what’s his, making sure you understand that he has you and that you’re his in return.

Tarantulas x Reader

• “I’m sorry. What now?” Looming over you, he twists his clawed servos together as his extra legs twitch. Obviously almost as embarrassed about the request as you are. Because he’s asking you to strip naked and let him chase you through the woods. Know he has some odd impulses sometimes, like when you’d accidentally found out that he’s like a cat about pouncing on you when he’s triggered by sudden movement. If he startles you badly enough you duck or move away, he lunges after you, snaring you in his legs. And then gets embarrassed about it and it’s kind of sweet.

• Mandibles flexing, his shoulders hunch at your tone. “We don’t have to,” he says. Freezing when you begin stripping for him. Honestly, shocked you’re willing to go along with this for him. “You can have a head start.” Extra legs reaching forward to slide against your skin, growling a protest when you back out of reach. Smiling uncertainly up at him before you take off. And he knows what he just said, but he’s immediately lunging after you, excitement spinning him tight.

• Glancing back over your shoulder and not finding him, an odd thrill spins through you. Where is he? He’d said you were getting a head start, but apparently not. For being so big, you should be able to hear him, but you can’t and it’s an expected shiver of uncertainty. Yelping when a web snags your ankle and he’s on you before you can hit the ground, catching you in his legs. Servos gripping your hips as his extra limbs catch your wrists and ankles to spread you helpless, guiding his spike to you and driving deep as you whimper his name. Those mandibles grazing your throat.

Grimlock x Reader

• “It’s not like I was flirting with him, so stop growling at me.” As much as you love the big moron, it’s impossible to have an actual conversation with him. Know it’s not his fault, what happened to him at Shockwave’s hands and it makes your heart ache for him when he tries so hard to understand something and just gets angry about it. But sometimes he’s just so exhausting. And you know better than to turn your back on him when you’re arguing, but you just can’t deal with his temper right now. “I can talk to whoever I want.”

• Growling as you storm off, he stalks after you. Hating that he can’t say the things he wants to, that he can’t always remember things correctly. But you? You’re a constant in the chaos, soft hands touching his face and calm voice easing his tension. And he can’t understand or stand you ignoring him now. Eyes angry when you look back at him, he hooks an arm around you, hearing your gasp go straight through him when your feet leave the ground. “Don’t you dare, Grimlock,” you snarl at him as he dumps you on your soft bedding and pins you with a hand between your shoulder blades. “I’m mad at you.”

• And he’s not listening at all, tugging your pants down and kneeling behind you. Kicking against his chassis as his mask retracts and he vents against the inside of your thigh. “Grimlock fix,” he growls against you, your protest that he can’t start an argument and fix it with sex faltering when his glossa slides against you. Fingers fisting in your bedding as his glossa drives inside you, stroking deep. Apologizing in his own way as your thighs tremble.

Twitch is small enough to just sit on Wheeljack's shoulder or hang of his back like a baby koala. At some point she even learn how sleep in this position so now Dad2 can work in the lab while she is taking a nap

Grimlock either picks Jawbreaker piggyback style or let him ride on his back when Grim is in his alt mode (also sometimes Swoop just... swoops down, picks JB by shoulders and flies off while Grimlock just stan there like 🦖 the frag am I suppose to do now?)

Tarantulas walks on his spider legs while carring Nightshade around, this way he can walk on uneven ground and climb while the kid can rest (Prowl is somehow balancing on his back, servo streached out in a "Onward" position. No one is brave enough to tell him it does not looks as cool as he thinks)

Hashtag is a little sad that she isn't as small as her siblings and she can't be carry around like the rest of them. Her height and weight don't not stop Starscream from still picking her up anyway when she complain about being tired. He even tried flying with her on his back (later, after they find Skyfire frozen in ice, Sky just picks her up like it's nothing, he is strong enough to far throw mechs twice as tall as Hashtag after all. In fact he is so strong, he can just let her hang of his shoulders while he is carring Starscream bridal style)

Swindle just picks Thrash by an ankle and hang him over his shoulders like a sack of dirty laundry, energon cube in the other hand, zero frag given. Thrash actually like this because now all of his energon is flowing down to his head and therefor his thinking should improve (it does not)

Megatron : *leaves the decepticons for 15 years and begins his redemption arc to atone for the crimes he had done in the past*

What the "evil" Decepticons that served under him are doing nowadays :

Yes I know the Soundwave and Shockwave ones are storyboard but I still say it counts.

I find it funny how the minute Megatron left all the decepticons became soft, now they're just out doing whatever they want and just being silly.

Edit 2 yrs later : this did not age well but S1 goofiness you will be missed lol.
