This scene is just so AHHHHHH!

Bee swiftly catches Jon after Thrash yeets him off himself to fight off a crazy G.H.O.S.T. agent.

Bee then gently sets Jon down and gives him a little pat pat. As if to say, "There, there, human." 🤣 Jon looks so frightened. He probably thought he was gonna hit the ground hard or die. But nope, Bee catches him in time. I'm sorry, but I just find this scene so adorable. 🥺

Bee then cautiously steps over Jon. 🥺 It's even more adorable when you remember that Jon said earlier in the episode (Stowed Away, Stowaways) that he always knew that Bee was good and that he wants Bee to join his team. I don't know, this scene just does things to me. I just found it kind of wholesome. 🥺

It's the little things~

It's funny how the story's attempt to make GHOST be Cemetary Wind 2.0 when the actually vibe I get from them is NEST turned into an international police force.

Not to mention the Ghoids always wear masks to hide the fact they are robots. Human GHOST agents show their faces.

My point is GHOST is a *shady organization with good intentions*. Just note how every Decepticon in the prison are notably those who have caused harm and are ready to do more harm at any second. The only GHOST member doing all the bad thing is....

...dun DUN...

Executive Agent Croft!

Just her alone.

Now tell me again why does GHOST collapse over a single executive agent? She can't be the only executive agent. And she's definitely not the director of GHOST.

The G for GHOST stands for ghost, not global apparently.

.

EDIT: Alright, I see another faulty writing in the worldbuilding here.

To make GHOST evil-evil, Croft has to be its Director or at least one of the top positions, not executive agent. Schloder's position is only "Agent" yet so many other agents follow his command. It makes Croft's position merely right above him, not that high above as we thought it was. Croft can be extra intimidating if she became director after doing something to the previous director who wanted to help all Cybertronians return to their home.

idk yo, but Agent Schloder gives me Bad Cop vibes so much.

I can't explain it,, they just be similar. Like I'd watch a buddy cop movie about them. It's not just me who sees this right??

i kinda wanna see more of him now ngl

[reel-fear]

For the writing request thingy,would you feel like writing something Mandroid or Schloder oriented?

About them alone or as a ship because they have potential as a rare pairing (I might have a bad taste in ships but hear me out/hj)

They can just,,be doing silly coworker stuff like drinking coffee together on a break or something :-))

Sorry if it’s not something you feel like doing!!

I would love to write something like that! I did want to do this so I could do some writing prompts for characters I don't think I'd naturally get ideas for putting in the spotlight! It's not Really ship but it is with both of them so I hope u enjoy! Warning they might be OOC bc well we dont know their characters super well and theres not a lot of content to pick apart n such. And also I only refrenced their wiki articles and my memory for tryna keep em in character so yknow, like I said, might be OOC. Also its not very silly, its very serious if anything oops KJNDSFKGJNSDFGKJNDFGSD-

Schloder could hear every footstep as he and the man designated as 'Mandroid' walked down the halls of GHOST. It was silent inside of the GHOST building most days and the echo the empty metal halls gave every noise didn't help. Not that Jon would ever let a new arrival intimidate him, he was far better than that... He couldn't let his professionalism fade for even a moment. Not with a mission this dangerous or an organization this important... Though with how important it all was... He couldn't help but wonder how on earth such a suspicious or shady man as Dr. Meridian managed to slither his way back into their ranks...

It was beyond his rank to question the hiring decisions of the organization, but it was also hard to ignore the robot arms that Mandroid had attached to himself. He recognized one of them as belonging to the prisoner Hardtop. He wasn't sure where the other one had come from however and he wasn't sure which one unsettled him more.

"It feels... So nice to be back within these walls." Dr. Meridian suddenly hissed, his expression and tone was one of delight, but something about the way he moved through the halls and the look in his eyes made Schloder want to doubt his cheery demeanor...

"It seems GHOST has missed you as much as you missed us." Schloder replied, trying to see Mandroid as nothing more than another coworker.

"You make it sound like you had not missed me while I was gone... That's rather hurtful Jon, I never did anything but disappear for a while. Did that truly upset you so much?"

"You disappeared and suddenly showed up in... this state, I don't think I owe you any kind of explanation until you give me one." Schloder responded, idly flicking some dust off his uniform.

"At least I got you to admit you wanted an explanation." Mandroid continued, looking at his cybertronian hand and curling it into a fist. Schloder watched him do so, his expression not giving anything away but a slight bitterness. He wondered what the man was thinking about as he did it, was it the cybertronians they had captured? Was it the people who kept getting in the way of their operations? Or something else entirely... "But there is not an explanation any better than the one I already gave. After those horrible creatures mangled me I realized they had to be stopped... At any costs... That is the loyalty you feign to the same cause isn't it Schloder? To protect our people at any cost? The real question is why aren't you in my same 'state' if our motivations and goals align so well?"

Schloder took in a deep breath, trying to not let Mandroid weave such a strange narrative. Who knows what he would do if he started becoming confident in such a strange idea. It could only end poorly for both him and GHOST, therefore it was only naturally part of his job that he should shoot it down, swiftly. "That would be an extreme thing for me to do as a field agent, if I suddenly went out doing my job in such a state a lot of people would have a lot of questions. Now more than ever we do not need people asking a lot of questions. There's plenty of bots out there we need to capture and we can't waste time on repairing bad PR. Not anymore at least"

"But if you were in a job that would require the strength of a bot, you would take the same measures I had wouldn't you? You would be willing to give every part of your body in order to protect the people right agent?" Mandroid asked and Schloder hesitated.

He wanted to say yes of course. If it meant protecting the people around him of course he would, but he couldn't quite bring himself to force the words out.

Something about it didn't feel right... Was it the part where he would have to live for the rest of his life taking energon to function? The part where he lost his arms? He didn't think so...

The biggest thing that seemed to turn him away from the idea was the fact he would not just be losing his arms... He'd be replacing them with someone else's...

Of course that person who he took it from would be nothing more than one of their prisoners... A traitor who deserved whatever was coming to them right?

Yes... Yes he would do what Mandroid had done if it was to protect humanity.

But... Would it be worth it if it made him give up some of his humanity? To do something so cruel to another living being?

"Agent, you aren't suddenly having doubts in your duty are you? If you are I would be rather disappointed with your lack of faith in humanity, surely the idea of taking what we need from those... Horrible machines isn't what deters you from answering my question?"

"No... No it is not, it is just a heavy idea, to live the rest of my life reliant on energon and with arms that don't belong to me... It just feels easier to comprehend the idea of dying for the cause." Schloder confidently lied and Mandroid chuckled.

"Ah... I see... Well remember this Schloder..." The other man suddenly put his mechanical hand on the shoulder of the agent, causing Jon to tense.

"It would have been easier for me to simply die after the state those horrible things left me in the hospital. To bleed out, but I knew that my work was not done, not until those things were gone from our home... Your work is not done until they are gone as well... So please understand I will take whatever measures I see necessary to keep you and the other GHOST members alive. If this upsets you... I would suggest finding a different line of work. One that doesn't require such dedication.

After all, none of us have quite earned our rest until our job here is done. So see to it you find me some more bots and soon, unless you want both of us to be here for the next century."

Schloder could hear everything in the empty echo chamber of a hallway. Mandroids cold but rage fueled hiss, the sound of his mechanical parts whirring with every subtle movement he made. The way his heart beat so much harder hearing such ominous and confident words.

The seething hatred that flickered behind Mandroid's existence and the cold resolve that kept him from dying.

Schloder could hear everything.

But it was beyond his rank to think about what he heard.

[monocle-teacup]

I don't know why this never occurred to me, but Schloder and Chase interacting would be hilarious. Their speech patterns are sort of similar and I can see them talking about laws and other random things like detective novels.

Firsts to Grow Up, 1: Family - 'The Mountain Guardian' excerpt

The aftermath of sneaking out of home, finding Terratronus' core, escaping the Dweller, and getting caught between two brothers' feud.

It was 8 a.m. when the Terrans, and the Seekers exit the cave. Starscream had flown to the horizon too fast for GHOST air support to keep up. Elita-One, Wheeljack and Jolt secure Slipstream and Nova Storm to take them to the Prison Base. Thundercracker lifted the fatigued Hashtag out and gently set her down in one of the two GHOST trailers remaining. He needs to go after Starscream immediately. He can’t promise the Terrans he won’t hurt his brother because Starscream is an unpredictable mech.

Dorothy and Alex rushed to Hashtag, asking if she’s alright. She just wanted to go home. Thrash braved himself and apologized for not bringing his siblings home sooner. Twitch tried to apologize, but all she could say was they only wanted to help Robby.

       Dot snapped without raising her voice, “Do you, now! Did you really do this for your brother or it’s the things on his and Mo’s arms you care about?”

       Thrash tried to speak up for Twitch the same time Alex tried to ease her, but Dot cut them off.

       “Not a word from you.” She turned to Jawbreaker and Nightshade. “Or either of you two. We almost lost Robby two days ago; he’s still in the emergency room! I thought we’re going to lose the five of you last night! Do any of you ever think about how we’d feel if you had been taken away? – Or if you died? What part of ‘stay home safe’ do you not understand?! I’m very disappointed in you Terrans – especially YOU, Twitch Malto!”

Twitch winced and lowered her head in shame. Schloder and GHOST agents keep respectfully quiet as Alex calmed his wife, telling her Hashtag is starting to dissociate. Dorothy sternly asked Schloder if he’s keeping his word to keep the Terrans a secret from Warden Croft. He does, so are all agents present. The parents reassure Hashtag to ride in the trailer to get home as Nightshade joins her. Jawbreaker and the twins went to the other trailer. JB asks an agent to accompany him. He’s scared of both his older siblings, making Thrash feel guilty and Twitch feel more ashamed. The agent complies with sympathy.

.

Hours later, far up north of the State...

“You betrayed me when I needed you the most!”

“I was ALWAYS with you! But all you care about is getting above Megatron! You don’t care about anyone or anything except your damn ego! Skywarp is dead BECAUSE OF YOU!! But you don’t care, right? He’s just a pawn like every other ‘Con who died following you!”

Thundercracker’s yell turned to sobbing as tears stream down his face. “Please, Starscream... No more warring. Just think of how to get home and save what’s left of our race without slaughtering another planet. Please!”

“How dare you blame me for Skywarp! It’s humans who killed him—”

“Out of self-defence! He attacked a civilian triage thinking it was an Autobot weapon! He thought it that because of a loose wire in his head he got after talking to you!”

“Skywarp was an idiot!”

“An idiot; not insane! I’ve always believed you’re better than Megatron, Starscream. But now? – I can’t tell the difference between you and old him.”

Enraged, Starscream shot a hole through TC’s wing and one of his thrusters. “Nowhere is safe with you,” he declared as he flew away.

Thundercracker helplessly watched Starscream going farther away, accepting he had lost his last living brother to insanity. “The feeling is mutual...”

Fowler and Schloder are eachothers' opposites; Fowler is kinda laid back but deals with some serious stuff while Schloder wants to be serious so bad but ultimately what he does ends is mostly silly

[monocle-teacup]

This is what the Production Bible says about Schloder:

I much prefer the way Schloder is in the show. He's still a dweeb to an extent, but he genuinely wants to protect people and is horrified at Croft's extreme methods.

[monocle-teacup]

Since Schloder actually appeared and seems to be doing some sort of security/law enforcement job, the show should have him and Prowl be buddies. And for a bit of humor, have it where they have a Good Cop Bad Cop schtick except that they bicker about who has what role.
