Mmm I love the idea of Knock Out be(e)ing Mr Smelt.
And a TFP and TFE crossover.
I’ve seen a fic of Knock Out/Mr Smelt recognising Bee and panicking.
And now I keep thinking about Bee recognising Knock Out first.
Like in another time Bee and the Terrans go to check on Mo and Robby, but this time Bee actually peaks into the classroom too. While the Terrans focus on the kids, Bee’s attention is on the teacher because he can recognise the voice and the ✨pizazz✨ but he couldn’t pinpoint how.
Bee then recognises Knock Out, and quickly take the Terrans home. He later offers to pick the kids up, taking advantage of the situation and sneaking up to the window, seeing Mr Smelt packing up in an empty classroom. He catches the ‘human’s attention.
“Psst! Knock Out!”
Mr Smelt then looks around the room, before going to the window, leaning out slightly, checking. That’s when he spots Bumblebee.
“Holy Primus.. Bee?”
Bee smiles, going closer to the window, letting out a soft chuckle as he got a closer look at Knock Out’s human disguise.
“Quite the look, Knocky.”
“I know, I know, not my most fabulous moments.” He huffs, “I like the frame you went for.”
“Oh! Thank you.”
“Bee? Did you just.. reveal yourself to our teacher?!”
Bee turns to Mo and Robby, fear plastered all over their faces. Bee starts to laugh, shaking his head.
“I’ll explain soon, but first-” He then looks back at the bot in disguise, “how about you follow us home, we can talk more there?”
Mr Smelt looks at him, then smiles.
“Alright, just give me a moment.”
Despite what Bee had told the kids, he kept mostly quiet on the drive home, letting the kids tire themselves out with all the questions. Instead, he focused on the road, occasionally asking if the red car’s still following them.
Finally they arrive back at the house and the kids scramble out of the car, yelling for the Terrans and their parents.
Mr Smelt remains in the car, while Bee sits beside him, the two occasionally giggling while the rest of the family gathers.
“Bumblebee!” He looks over at Dot, who stands before the kids, Terrans and her husband, glaring at the bot and the suspicious car.
“Okay, now I’ll tell you.” Bee smiled, looking at the car, then at the family, “this is Knock Out.”
“No. That’s Mr Smelt!”
“I mean-” suddenly the car turned into a bot, that quickly sat beside Bee, “technically your correct, I am Mr Smelt, but I’m Knock Out. Decepticon turned Autobot CMO.” He grinned.
Bee rolled his eyes.
“He’s been using his hollow form to disguise himself as a human. Hollow forms can fool almost anyone.”
“Hollow forms? Do we have hollow forms?” Twitch speaks up.
“How would you not know?” Knock Out huffs,
“They’re Terrans, Knocky. Transformers born on Earth.”
“Hmm, interesting..” Knock Out eyed the new bots, inspecting their forms, not noticing the way they shrunk behind the humans. That’s when Bee looked over at the Malto’s, unlike the guest, he did notice, sighing softly.
“How about we catch up later, Knocky?” He smiled slightly, “I’ll send you coordinates.”
Knock Out’s gaze was quickly occupied by Bee and he nodded,
“Alright, Honey Nectar. We’ll talk later.” He then got up, “Thank you, Maltos”
“How did you..?”
“I’m still your teacher.” He then grinned, turning back into his car alt form and driving off.
“Bee. You have a lot of explaining to do.” Alex said,
“Yes, most importantly, why did Knock Out call you ‘Honey Nectar’?.” Dot grinned.
Bee’s face heated up slightly.
“I- uh..”
Okay, I may have gone a tad bit overboard.
And let my KnockBee side take a little control.
Eh, hope ya enjoy, might either expand or do a bit more.
