Miko Nakadai in her full , explosive and colorful glory.
Having moved to Jasper full time as soon as she was legally able, she took over a room in Hangar E, and has become the unofficial combat specialist of the Jasper Trio, using the Apex Armor once per day to better be ready should Cons ever return to Jasper.
She greatly misses Bulkhead, and it shows, as once she got her license, Miko decided to use an old military jeep as her vehicle, painting it with in familiar colors.
Never letting that dull her nature though, Miko persists as the heart of the trio, whereas Jack is the moral compass, and Raf the brains of their team.
Jack and Raf invite her to dinner at their houses often, as they know the hangar gets lonely, and have offered to make room for her at their homes, but she's answered the offer the same ever time:
She wants to be the first face that Bulkhead sees, when he comes back to Earth and to Jasper someday.
I really love the thought that cyberformed humans still have human biological hangups, so-
Imagine the Autobots panicking over the sparklings "excessive" levels of sleep because humans run on a far shorter time shift (aka 24-hour days). The kids are cranky as hell because they need their Earth daily naps, but the Autobots are poking them awake since the 'bots are still running on Cybertronian time.
No one is surprised by Miko or even Raf biting hands, but it gets to the point where the sparklings start hiding for uninterrupted naptime in tight, dark spaces where 'bots can't easily reach. Like inside a seal vent shaft, behind the shelves of berths, and a really deep, well-dug hole under the main computer.
Unfortunately, that freaks out the Autobots further since that behavior is seen as a bitlet stress response. Made worse since the kids are Seekers or close to it as Miko is a Seeker sparkling, Jack is capable of flight, and there's a theory that modern Seekers are descendants of Predacons. Basically, Seekerkin sparklings have innate drivers to stay with their flocks and units, to consistently touch their guardians/parental bonds, so for the kids to ignore the Autobots can be taken as a major sign of abuse or something really wrong as Seekerkin are a very social frame-types.
Cue Agent Fowler to the rescue as he has to use plain English to explain that the kids just want uninterrupted naps because, well, they're babies. It's good for them. A necessity. No one wants to be sleep-deprived.
Because Agent Fowler has a gut feeling that if June Darby gets a word about this, then she'll raise hell and give Ratchet so much grief as the medic is taking it so personally. She'll move in and become a domestic menace.
(263) Sometimes, a giant mechanical alien meets a tiny human teenager and they hit it off. It's a partnership that has spanned many a tf continuity. Today it is bridging two!
Miko Nakadai has fallen through a portal she was MEANT to be avoiding like her life depended on it. She has fetched up in the g1 universe. She would like to get back home but she's not, like, torn up about it. The Ark is pretty cool. (Mirror universe Bumblebee talks??)
Meanwhile, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe have had Miko for an hour and a half and if anything happens to her they are going to kill everyone on this ship and also themselves. Try them.
