"Great! It's a date," he chirped, not thinking for a moment about the connotation of such a agreement being called a 'date'.

And then-

Hot Spot's plating creaked as he stiffened in response to her wink and smile; A flush of blue colored those high cheek ridges and his own smile widened a bit. He had been caught completely off guard.

"S-Sure! Yeah, absolutely!"

"Right, right, my... comlink," he continued to fumble. In a moment, the data was sent to her, neatly packaged in a download and he cleared his throat out of habit of being around humanity.

"So! Just give me a ring if you need anything. Like another blanket or... Another conversation."

For Munday, anonymously ask the mun something you want to know about them, their portrayal, or what they will/won’t write.

Especially if it’s something you’re too shy or afraid to ask off-anon. 

(Admin note: If you reblog this from someone, try to send them something, even if it’s just a basic question. The mun will really appreciate it.)

Oh, c'mon guys! Kids are great!

In those sparse moments of calm and leisure time, the shade of a big oak tree was perfect. Spring was just beginning and these new leaves cast dappled light over both bots. Conversation had lulled, and Hot Spot closed his optics to soak in the peaceful chatter of birds and distant sounds of the city.

He was brought back to the moment when deft digits traced along a particularly nasty, poorly welded scar that ran along his left arm. "Tagan Heights; First time I ever went toe-to-toe with Devastator as a Team. Never did get that one repaired properly," He remarked softly.

"Nah, not Maggy. Could tell that fraggers helm from miles away!" The massive femme grinned, and she was indeed massive. 45 feet of muscle and various shades of blue. "Hot Spot right?" She got closer, careful to mind her step. She was big, humans were fragging tiny as glitch mice. She didn't want to accidently squish one of them. "Names Waterlily!"

There were very few occasions that Hot Spot had to look up.

He was a stout, tall bot by all accounts, but even he was given pause when the enormous frame loomed ever closer. Friendly, though she seemed, and that was good enough for him. "It's a pleasure then! Hot Spot, you got it. I work with a team here on Earth," returned the Protectobot, setting down the crate of miscellany to present a dark servo out to her. Force of habit.

"What brings you this way?"

// ok so the ones ive put most work into are the following:

Dragon -- hot spot is a western-style dragon (4 legs, wings, fire breath) that lives in a little village with very open-minded folks that keep him purposefully secluded. he's incredibly friendly and uses a glamor to appear human, or mostly human. daily activities range from helping raise barns, tend crops and heat the blacksmiths forge when he's not sleeping. very chill bro; lots of magic here.

Dungeons and Dragons -- Level 5 Fighter with Eldritch Knight, Background Soldier, Human. boy he did not expect to end up on adventures but he's making the best of it while trying out these knew magical powers acquired from The Incident in his youth that have finally manifested. (currently playing Baldur's Gate 3 with him!!!)

"It's Gone to Hell" Bayverse/AU -- like the name implies, post Dark of the Moon where Earth is used as a source of raw materials to revive Cyberton. very apocalyptic for Earth. light Cyberforming of major cities and the Protectobots are doing whatever they can to not be caught by anyone. might be a little feral.

Central City -- blatant mishmash of both Armada and Rescuebots instead of G1; everyone lives happily in a off shore City designed specifically for both humans and Transformers. several years into the future and all volunteer-based, the citizens of Central City work closely to keep drama to a minimum and give inquisitive minds a place to thrive!

// would folks be interested in AUs? i have... many

[form-defensor]

"No, no, no you're not dumb," he replied as softly as a big voice could, crouching down like he always did. "You're just...

"Little."

No, those aren't little baby tears of frustration in his little baby eyes. It's an optical illusion, or something. "I promise it's still me. I'm just dumb right now."

"I heard you were looking for me?"

[ Send a First Meeting Starter! ]

"Yes, it's very important," he said between pants after he transformed. The datapad was pulled from his subspace with urgency. "I just found these and I had to show someone; I knew you'd be someone who would care."

It was puppies. Dalmatians, to be exact. Rolling and playing in a fire station kitchen.

[form-defensor]

"You are following me. I do not care to be followed."

Who would have thought that a firetruck in the middle of a rocky outcrop of mountains would have been so easily noticed? But he had to do some reconnaissance with all that had happened in the last few days.

"Oh... Me? No, see, I was - Uh, Sierra has a geology project she's working on, you know? And I'll be darned I haven't found a single metamorphic rock in this whole range!"

Play it cool, Hot Spot.

"Hey, you're that guy, aren't you?" -From Waterlily

The firetruck mech peered over his bulky shoulder and gave an apologetic smile.

"If you mean Ultra Magnus, no, I'm not; but I do have a com connection to him if you need it! I know, I know... It's the blue and helmet. It happens a lot if you can believe it."

"Hey, you're that guy, aren't you?"

"What's your name anyway?"

In an otherwise quiet part of town, today there is chaos. Multiple vehicles on a road were involved in a crash, but the perpetrator is no longer on the scene. Witnesses claim that a semi truck just bulldozed through anyone and everyone in its way. The strange part is that some swear it never even made contact with the cars. That it was almost like it had a forcefield that pushed the cars out of its way, and didn’t receive a single scratch itself in the process. Obviously, that can’t be true. Injuries are luckily minimal, with vehicle and property damage taking the brunt of things. Hopefully this bizarre experience was a one time event.

The Police Chief wasn't a patient person; This much Hot Spot had figured out rather quickly. So there were no surprises when the team found themselves under pressure to "get results" regarding what - or by his measure who - had caused panic and insurance claims in the town. Reassuring words were spoken, official press releases, er, released, and a footnote in his report to the Earth Affairs Office sent on up the chain.

He wasn't entirely sure anyone was truly monitoring their actions on Earth anymore...

Which meant he could take matters into his own hands, so to speak.

"And that starts with energon reading sweeps," he muttered to himself, looking at a map of Jasper and the surrounding counties. "If anyone else is here besides us, that's a surefire way to find them."
