thinking about the sully siblings and how Spider was smaller than them physically, but he was still their big brother, and the pure shenanigans it must cause.
like. they're so much bigger than him, but they no doubt still act like they're little compared to their brother at times.
like you want to tell me they don't hide behind him or lean over so they can rest their head on his shoulder or tuck under his arm. tell me they don't lay on top of him like he's their personal pillow.
its not odd to see all his siblings gathering around him, Kiri resting her head on Spi, while Lo'ak holds his arm, Tuk tucked against his waist, while 'tey rests his chin on Spi's head (he loves all the attention, even if he huffs and puffs like any good big brother). they look silly cause the kids have to crouch and twist and bend to use their brother as a leaning post, and he practically disappears under all their blue.
and that includes rough housing, even if it's unintentional. the kids jumping up for a piggyback ride even when they're nearly double if not triple Spider's size.
Tuk wanting to be carried around by her big brother all the time. Kiri accidentally tugging her brother too hard when excited to show him something. the boys teaming up against their brother when playing, forgetting he can hardly handle one of them, let alone both at once.
his siblings getting the rare chance for a sleepover and cuddling around him like a bunch of big cats. they're tucked around him, under him, on top of him, with just enough care to make sure he doesn't suffocate in his sleep.
when they need some loving, Spider has to beckon them down to give their foreheads a kiss or to wrap them up in a proper hug. Spider likes to tuck his siblings head to his chest with both his arms and squeeze them tight.
when he's got to give them a big brother chat, the kids have to be kneeled down so Spider doesn't have to stare up at them (he tends to kneel too, so they're eye to eye, cause when he looks down on them, they tuck their little ears and he feels bad).
like. they're just big babies that need their big brother to take care of them and love them, even if they're giants compared to him.

Life of Rescue Bots shenanigans part 11
--- long time ago, Cybertron ---
-- orphanage --
?: so... don't you have names?
??: no, I don't think so
???: I don't remember having one
?: then... can I call you Soundwave?
??: oh...
Soundwave: sure, I think so
???: can I call you Heatwave then?
?: Heatwave?
Heatwave: I like it, it's like a really strong name, and you?
Soundwave: I think your name is Shockwave
Heatwave: nah, I don't like it, it's scary
???: I like it
Shockwave: Great Shockwave... leader of Cybertron
Heatwave: HEHEHE, you have your head in the clouds, Shockwave!
Shockwave: and you have your pedes in the floor, think in big, Heatwave, Cybertron is bigger than us, there are a lot of possibilities out there!
Soundwave: and 47.9999% of end up working in a mine
Shockwave: Primus, you're so pesimist
Heatwave: did you notice our names end with "wave"? What do you think it means?
Shockwave: THE WAVE OF CHANGE!!!
Soundwave: or just wave, we're a triplet, is normal for our names to be similar
Heatwave: oh... what now?
Shockwave: ...I don't know
Soundwave: do you like cats?
Heatwave: what's a cat?
...
--- Planet Earth, 2011 in gregorian calendar ---
-- Bunker's firehouse, Griffin Rock --
- 01:23 AM -
Chase: let me be clear. You came to Griffin Rock, believing the Griffin Crest was a death zone for all kind of technology, except for you
Soundwave: that's why those officials in the control tower let me in, they knew I wouldn't go far
Chase: but what's your mission here?
Soundwave: I don't have a mission, I'm trying to escape, me and my companions
Boulder: do you refer to the bird, the cat and the twins?
Soundwave: yes
Blades: and why to believe in us?
Soundwave: you're healing my wounds, medbot, and you, Rescue Bots, the only difference you have with mercenaries is your sense of help without hoping something exchange, your loyalty is to the people, right now you are the only ones who I can barely trust aside from my kids
Blades: eh... I better take that as a compliment, and my name is Blades
Soundwave: I don't expect to stay in this island too much time, G.H.O.S.T is searching everywhere for living bots to control on their lines
Kade: with each thing I hear about G.H.O.S.T I'm more sure they're not supposed to be legal
Charlie: that's why Dot and I left while we could. Soundwave...
Soundwave: what
Charlie: you are welcomed as much as you don't do any kind of harm to the people of the island, you and your friends are safe here, right Heatwave..?
Boulder: Heatwave, say something
Soundwave: there's no need to, I feel your spark, Heatwave, I know I'm not welcomed here, and I don't need your mercy
Blades: wow, I know Heatwave's bad gaze says a lot but you're really perceptive
Heatwave: I never said that
Soundwave: you felt it, that's enough for me
Heatwave: Can you stop feeling and start listening?!
Soundwave: I don't need to
Heatwave: no, You need to! Because since I remember no matter the day, We always felt the other but it seems we get to accomplished to it rather than listening..!
Soundwave: it's not like you called us even a day in all these eons, except when you were in stasis
Heatwave: oh, well, how is said, time is a big jet, of course Shockwave and you had a lot of time in the senate-
Soundwave: Don't. You. Dare. To pronounce that name. Again
Heatwave: ...my spark was right then... who?
Soundwave: Megatron itself, with it's own hands
Heatwave: when?
Soundwave: when we were still on Cybertron, before escaping in the nemesis. But why is important to you
Heatwave: you are important to me, both of you!
Soundwave: now you're going to say it. Admit it, if not, why you never came out?
Heatwave: did you think it was easy for me to reach you? Compared to you I grew up in the mines, caring for more than I could for myself, dealing with lost and sacrificing myself! No matter how many times I could call you or try to reach you, there was always a fragging wall separating the three of us! But I always was there, I see you everyday even is was more than 10 feet away but I always was there! When Shockwave was named senator, when you made your first experiments, when you were with Megatron at congress, even when they hurted Shockwave! I felt all of it and I always was there! And I'm sorry for you to never see that...
Soundwave: what a weird way to say sorry
Heatwave: do you want a normal way!? I'm sorry for you to never knew how much I cared about you..! And I want you to stay
Soundwave: ...what?
Heatwave: I want my brother back, even if it's just one, because... I missed you a lot
Soundwave: ...
Heatwave: what do you say?
Soundwave: ...
Soundwave: I missed a feeling spark in my chest that wasn't mine

"This is completely irressssssssponsible..." Chase slurs, flopping into Heatwave's lap. "I did NOT! I dunnooooo..."
"Mhm, real interesting bud," Heatwave mutters, crossing his arms tighter around himself. "You're a lightweight, who woulda guessed."
Heatwave doesn't know where Boulder got the engex, but he's willing to bet they made it themselves. They have been sneaking off to work on a secret project lately...
Boulder and Blades are sitting a little ways away on the floor, laughing and talking loudly. Their fields are hazy, far more relaxed than he's ever seen them. And they seem to be having a way better time than Chase or Heatwave.
He's pissed at them for talking Chase into drinking, because that means that he can't. There's going to be a car crash at some point tonight, nothing major, but enough that at least one of them has to be ready to go.
And just his luck, it's him.
Primus, Heatwave needs to get drunk. Too much has been happening lately, he would love to just have an evening to loosen up, but no! Glorified babysitting duty.
"Heatwave. Wave. Wave." Chase is looking up at him, letting his now empty bottle clatter onto the floor.
"What is it, Chase?" Heatwave asks. Thinking about it now, he's pretty sure this is the first time he's ever seen Chase drunk... which means he's probably going to need to assure him he's not a complete moral failing when it wears off tomorrow morning.
"Do I ever-" he stops, scrunching his nose, before breaking out into a grin that seems too big for his face. "Love ya!" He throws his arms around Heatwave's waist and holds him tight.
"Uh, thanks-?" he starts, when Blades' and Boulder's helms snap up, locking on. Oh, of fucking course.
"HEATWAVE!" they shout, before stumbling over to wrap their arms around him as well.
Oh, Primus. That damn car crash'll be lucky if he's able to respond at all.
