Ugh im sorry but id be lying if I said I didn’t have a shitton of MTMTE Christmas headcanons
> Rewind has a bunch of Xmas movies and that is where the problem starts because someone gets the bright idea to try doing a LL Christmas and it’s probably not even Christmas on earth at the time but nobody cares. They are in space. Seasons are irrelevant.
> They find a planet that grows something kinda like christmas trees? And then there is a mass clamour to go planetside and collect some so Megatron gives in (Rodimus was part of the clamour), and basically that’s how they end up with about four trees in Swerve’s alone. He has a mass decorating drive where he recruits all his regulars.
> I was listening to Fall Out Boy’s cover of What’s This and just the mental image that gave me. Megatron walking down some hallway reading a datapad and then a minibot randomly zips past at waist height. And then another one, and then Tailgate on his hoverboard with an armful of baubles, and suddenly there is this stampede of mechs carrying decorations racing towards Swerve’s. Nautica pins a paper snowflake to Megatron’s chest as she goes past.
> The Christmas tree planet is also very snowy, so of course someone starts a snowball war.
> Christmas shopping is ridiculous, they end up in some alien city that they picked cause it has a half decent retail district but then cause everyone has to go down all at once they’re all trying to hide from each other, so nobody sees what they’re getting. The locals are very confused by this huge, elaborate game of hide and seek that seems to be happening in the shopping centre.
> Brainstorm’s experiments into creating a snow machine are… interesting. Chromedome still won’t talk to him after Rewind nearly got buried alive.
> Crosscut wanted to do a nativity play but when people read his revised version of the story nobody showed up to auditions.
> Brainstorm also messes around with liquid nitrogen and shit to turn the oil reservoir into an ice rink. This is a lot more successful than the snow machine and leads to many shennanigans:
- Chromedome and Rewind just cannot stay upright, they keep falling over and lying there helplessly giggling. When they do manage to get to their feet they’re just clinging to each other and stumbling around the ring and they still can’t stop fucking laughing.
- Minimus ditches the Magnus armour cause it’s too heavy but he is also surprisingly good at staying balanced and stuff. He and Rung sort of skate right round the edge just talking (until Rodimus crashes into them with one of his dumb speed skating attempts).
-Ravage has the oddest, inexplicable feeling that he should be looking for fish frozen in the oil. (He’s also oddly fascinated by some of the baubles on Swerve’s trees and has taken to stealing and hiding them).
- Skids is doing like freaking winter olypmics grade moves right in the middle.
- Nautica, Brainstorm and Perceptor skating round in a chain of three holding hands.
- Cyclonus accidentally dipping Tailgate when TG slips and he goes to catch him.
- Velocity being Completely Fucking Done when everyone shows up at the medbay with about fifty dents apiece.
> Ten is let loose to paint all kinds of pretty Christmas things on the corridors.
> Speaking of being let loose, they try carolling and it’s about as much of a mess as shopping because everyone goes out in the hallways at the same time. You just get groups singing at each other instead of people in hab suites and trying to outdo the other side. (The guys who have Siren win because nobody really wants to challenge him).
> Their designated Christmas Eve is just everyone hanging out at Swerve’s. Rewind sets a movie up, everyone is slightly sleepy and the Christmas lights are about the only lights left on in the room, people are sat around at/on tables talking in low voices or tucked away into booths in the case of couples, and everything is very soft and quiet compared to what the bar’s normally like.
> The Christmas party that happens in there the next day, however, is another matter entirely.
