Mortifying! Transformers equivalent of nearly 30yo man forced to third wheel his parents

[Image ID: A digital drawing of RiD15 Ratchet, Optimus and Bumblebee. Optimus and Ratchet are holding hands with Optimus smiling gently and Ratchet either talking or laughing. Bumblebee is walking next to them, looking bored. The background is mostly white, except for a patch of grassy dirt defined under their feet.

I AM IN A ROBOT MOOD RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Also first time drawing transformers characters because I sort of suck at drawing robots and complex/unique designs. Also tried to make stickers for myself for the first time, so pretty jank cutting. :p

How does Drift feel about being mistaken for Ratchet's employee?

It nettles him, as it would anyone, though he doesn’t let it show. Instead, whenever someone mistakes Ratchet for his employer, he mildly and tactfully sets them straight:

“Actually, he’s my doctor.”

Hi there! I really love your vast universe of headcanons, so I have a request :b

How would each Bot (TFP) react to the game Five Nights at Freddy's? Because, like, if you think about it, Cybertronians kinda ARE animatronics😂 . So would that make them more scared, or less scared? Also, I just wanna see how they'd all react to getting jumpscared.

Oooh! Interesting little concept! I love doing the bots reactions to things like this! Although admittedly I don't know how all the mechanics for FNAF work despite knowing a lot of lore, so yeah, this could end up amazing or crap.

Five Nights at Freddy's

The children regularly played video games, it was nothing new to the team. They were the ones who got Bumblebee and Smokescreen hooked after all. Most of the time the children played pretty tame games, often a shooter or racing game of sorts, nothing to be concerned about. However one Friday night after school Rafael brought a new video game to base to share.

It seemed normal at first to the team who were watching from the corners of their optics as they worked. It seemed to be a horror game, one where there was a hidden enemy. And that perked the interest of the team who slowly gathered around to watch as Rafael played the game he called Five Nights at Freddy's.

At first everything seemed relatively normal to the team. From what they gathered there was a hidden monster trying to hunt down the player character to do something awful like suck out their spark or something. The team didn't fully get it, but they watched nonetheless and in increasing horror as the enemies were revealed to be what the human children called "animatronics".

Ratchet: That has to be at least third degree frame deterioration! And look at all those exposed components! How in Primus's name are those poor mecha still functioning??!

Optimus: Are they perhaps spark eaters? Or ghouls?

Arcee: They could be beastformers gone rogue. I've heard of a few cases like that.

Bulkhead: No way. Those have to be techno-organics. How else would they function without spark chambers?

Wheeljack: Nah, they have to be triplechangers. Look at all those excess transformation seams.

Ultra Magnus: Ridiculous. Whatever those things are, they are obviously tortured mecha who have been set up in some sick bloodsport.

Bumblebee: Is this some type of gladiatorial game then? There's no way the player character would be in this situation unless forced.

Smokescreen: Those mecha aren't acting all that rationally. If they really wanted to kill the player character they should have just swarmed. Seems like rookie behavior to me.

Arcee: So sayeth the rookie.

The team were filled with endless questions upon seeing the enemies in the game. And so at Miko and Rafael's behest, every bot was convinced to sit down and give the game a try. It went about as well as one might expect.

Ratchet, wanting to know what the frag the animatronics were all about, sat down first. He was very methodical and dutifully spent time looking over all the mechanics and game controls. He then took every in game night slow, meeting every animatronic and stopping them in their tracks before they could jump-scare him. However his slow and methodical approach backfired during the last night when the stakes got higher and in the end he did get caught. His first response was to leap back with his blade extended and ready to fight back. He was no stranger to battle and he was certain he could take on a beaten and mad mech. He was not afraid, merely battle-ready.

Of course Ratchet made valiant attempts to beat the game. And once he did, he refused to shut up about how simple it was and how ridiculous the animatronics were. He made it a point to try and prove that the animatronics were not akin to Cybertronians in any way, and not a spark stopped him since none wanted to admit just how off the whole thing felt.

Optimus went next just to prove a point and to figure out the lore of the game to understand the animatronics better. He was far less interested in the gameplay and more invested in the story above all else. This led him to get jump scared a handful of times, all of which he didn't even flinch at. But most of his time was spent picking apart the story and quickly finding himself far more in fear of the plot than the machines involved. The souls of children being trapped in the frames of decrepit machines and stuck unable to even control themselves properly... it was horrible.

Once he finished the game, he didn't touch it again. He didn't want to. It hurt his spark to see such innocents beings subjected to what was in his mind, unlawful spark transfers, shadow play, and a degree of slave coding. He ended up refusing to even speak on the game, it brought back bad memories. Where Ratchet tried to walk off the poor feelings associated with the game by disproving it, Optimus just didn't want to even think about it.

The children noticed both these behaviors and tried not to bring up the game around the team leader and medic since it was obvious both were not pleased.

Ultra Magnus refused to play after watching Optimus and Ratchet go through it. He had similar thoughts about the game and viewed it as being made in poor taste as it made a mockery of the suffering of those who the council harmed. And while he did realize the humans who made the game couldn't have known about the pain of those on Cybertron, he still wasn't fond of it. He personally saw the whole thing as disrespectful to the fallen and those who were lost to plague and the cruelties of the caste system. And while perhaps a bit of a far fetched connection, the appearance of the animatronics... he couldn't handle it, not after the Cybonic plague.

Wheeljack and Bulkhead took it better than their superior officers and even enjoyed the game. They opted not to think too hard on the deeper implications of the story and instead had fun poking around with game mechanics. Wheeljack tried to see how he could break the game, often trying to outsmart the game AI and cheat his way through just to prove that he could. Bulkhead didn't play much and more often than not just cheered Wheeljack on, but both always startled during jump-scares simply because it reminded them both of scraplets and the shapeshifters on Cybertron.

For them it was like the old sparkling stories of scraplets coming to eat them alive had become reality. And while they knew it was a silly human game, they both found a degree of entertainment in facing a knockoff version of their sparklinghood fears.

Wheeljack: *getting jump-scared* HOLY SCRAP!

Bulkhead: FRAGGING PLASMA PIT JACKIE!

Wheeljack: That was FANTASTIC! I've got to figure out how that little beasty caught me!

Ratchet: How in the Allspark do you two find enjoyment in this bloodsport?!

Bumblebee and Smokescreen found the deeper implications of the game too dark to consider so instead they took to trying to speedrun the game as best as they could. However considering speedrunning a survival game is a rather difficult feat, they instead made it a game to see who could avoid the most jump-scares. Smokescreen almost always screamed like a little girl whenever he got jump-scared, even throwing his remote at the T.V once. Bumblebee never outwardly screamed, but he did almost crush his remote when he got startled once too many times.

They got invested to the point of trying to get every achievement possible. Together with the children, Bumblebee and Smokescreen spent one long night beating the whole game through a use of tricks, training, and even the odd online tutorial. They were dead tired come morning, but they "won" so they spent the day sleep deprived but pleased with themselves. They received nothing but disappointed looks from the older members of the team. Although Bulkhead and Wheeljack did offer smiles and thumbs up at their efforts.

Arcee for her part wasn't interested in the game after watching the differing reactions from others on the team. She too had seen too much of old Cybertron to ignore the game's implication. So while she didn't play, she most certainly watched and made it a habit to comment on everyone else's playing styles. Wheeljack and Bulkhead received most of her mockery, especially when they cursed in fear loud enough for the whole base to hear. For Bumblebee and Smokescreen she just tried to scare them when they were most focused just to watch them flip out.

It brought her a degree of sick joy to watch her companions flail because of a game. The children for their part found the situation amusing and somewhat concerning. All in all, it was obvious who could handle video games and who could not.

A little busy right now Rodimus-

(Congrats on your milestone avoidghost!)

[botmilf]

@solain-rhyo has BLESSED us with the first ever Botmom fic! Literally everything about this is fucking magical and I’ve read it like 600 times already. Solain is imo in the top 3 best Transformers fic writers out there, and so for her to write such an exquisite piece for my silly lil oc is completely mind blowing (in the best way!). Saying ‘thank you’ doesn’t even feel sufficient I NEED MORE WORDS TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE @solain-rhyo!!!

But still, from the bottom of my SOUL, thank you friend <3

[ny000mdraws]

no straight roads au from last year

some of the designs and and ideas were with the help of @/soda.bugs on instagram

[catseyenebulae]

I think my funniest, borderline shitpost clatchet headcanon is that not only isn't Ratchet actually gay, he's not even into robots at all; Clank is just a funny exception. Ratchet's like, really into his robot boyfriend's wires and all that but the concept of other robots and other guys gets him all funny in his tummy.

[kingdicemrwheezyflowertor]

Hello there Fellow Wonderful Flowers!!

So I said in a post a while back that I was back into Transformers because of Rise of the Beasts was released. (I went to see it with my wife back on the 4th of July and I loved it! Almost made me cry many times!)

Anyway; Since I completely forgot to post or make Pride Art last month, I have decided to make some as of recently!

It Involves the Transformers animated gang and there will be more to come once I figure out who else to draw. (Been leaning more towards Ultra Magnus; Sentinel; Kup; Rodimus; Wheeljack and Perceptor in that order really)

Now I will say this now: The Bases I used for the Drawings do not belong to me!! They belong to mellon_soup on TikTok; The Designs for the TFA team belong to me!!

Now then; Time to show the Drawings!!

[transingthoseformers]

Idea I came up with yesterday but

I love the idea of earthspark Ratchet (and possibly drift / deadlock with him) entering the picture and has absolute beef with Megatron.

Optimus might be working well with him and considers them close again, Megs is close with a human family and the terrans as well as having helped end the war. But I think they should hate each other because it would be either funny or angsty.

Extra points if Drift is actually on good terms with Megs again, it's just Ratchet v Megatron.

I love getting back into old fixations/comfort media that never really leave me. If they have a big impact on me they stick in my brain and I rotate between the same four-five for the rest of my life. Call me delusional but it feels nice because I’m never really abandoning them I’m just sorta keeping them safe on a mind bookshelf <3

[mychlapci]

i spent the entire day doodling blorbos. dont know what possessed me but here u go. look at these guys

[myhyperfixationisback]

Sony please release your cruel and un-creative grip on my autism creature game series. I beg of you. Let them at least start naming the series innuendos again… PLEASE. I’m sorry the Future series ever even got released at this point PLEASE go back to the old ways I beg you‼️

[transmetal-tk]

This design has been banging around in my brain for at least seven years and I really wanted to do it up like one of those Allspark Almanac profiles, even though that means writing everything from an in-universe in-character perspective

I’m not super confident that I was able to approximate the character voices for this, but if I put off posting this any longer I think I might explode
