#tfp optimus is made of stronger metal

[witchofthesouls]

Okay I had an ask about a follow-up on the Truck dad and amnesiac bird son dimensional hoppers pair post, but I couldn't fit as more outright creepy/weird shit our boy do. A lot of hints, though.

Here's a piece on Jack's fondness for big animals and secrets.

Optimus should have known something was afoot with Jack, especially with his most recent line of questions and the new direction his drawings had taken on: a large, black canine in the desert, aerial views of the surrounding landscapes, anatomy of local creatures, and multi-eyed birds with strange trinkets in their beaks.

As much Jack was enamored with the animal companions in this universe’s version of the Ark and its Autobots, Sideswipe’s proletariat cat and Prowl’s turbohound were too busy to keep by the sparkling's side.

Despite the extreme species-swap and his regression to a child state, Jack had taken to his Cybertronian frame well. Enough that oddities could be rationally explained by the loss of creators.

(And if this version of the Autobots took it one way, then Optimus won't correct them, especially with Jack's mimicry with natural birdsong overlapping with newspark noises.)

Jack was generally obedient. He took heed of Optimus’ warnings to remain close to him and not to wander away in a certain distance.

However, Jack was good with words. Quick to find loopholes as well. He may not flick a wing-tip over the established boundaries to chase after whatever curious thing had caught his attention, but more than once Optimus found his charge scurrying out from potholes on the streets, broken entrances beneath buildings, and perched high up on the local greenery or infrastructure to peek at something, like a nest of local fauna.

Jack had said he didn’t leave the ship. And that was true. He hadn’t.

He simply coaxed the wildlife to him instead.

It was a hassle to smooth over the growing trend of murders and conspiracies of blackbirds hounding the nearby towns for cash for their “snackies” of seeds and McDonald's, then they uncovered his newest pet.

Not an abandoned dog, or a raccoon, or a house cat, or a hawk, or a toad, or anything Sparkplug reminiscenced over his son's mudpie days. Not something small, easily managed, and no threat to the human personnel.

Those strange grey-blue optics stared at Optimus so pleadily, arms wrapped carefully around the creature. The mountain lion, nearly full grown and quite docile in Jack’s arms, only grumbled, almost bored by the entire ordeal. It yawned wide, showing off teeth reminiscent of military-frame sets of sharp denta.

Animals, especially predatory and scavenger species, was something else Jack was good with, too. And Optimus had no idea what to make of that…

“Please, papa! I made her a bed and kept the wound clean!"

Oh, yes, Jack ran a neat, little clandestine operation in the back. Taking advantage that few mechs were willing to venture near the Dinobots’ living quarters and his own oddities whenever he sang to blackbirds outside the open entrance, he managed to squeeze himself into a nook between boulders that opened into a hidden cavern where he kept an injured mountain lion.

No one had any idea how Jack managed to keep the animal fed, let alone sneak it past the entrance. Too many eyes in the main halls to drag large carcasses, and living matter didn't do well with subspaces. Optimus could hear Red Alert's jaw cracking from pressure-related stress. No doubt combing through the security systems and finding nothing. Jazz and Prowl would be interested in the holes as well.

That was a large issue, and it needed to be addressed. Preferably away from the public.

“-and I'll love her and walk her and I change her water every day and I know how to feed her because Chickadee taught me how to how-"

"Jack,” Optimus interrupted the deluge of words, his tone gentle yet firm. He crouched down to meet those tearful optics, Jack's wingspan ticked up and down. The mountain lion's ears twitched but it remained at ease. “We can't keep her here. That's a wild animal. She's used to miles of free terrain to roam. Not being enclosed and hidden away on a ship.”

Jack inhaled sharply but said nothing in response. It wasn't childish defiance staring back at Optimus. More like guardian possessiveness: Mineminemine, Jack's entire frame projected, dropping away the usual behavior of staying hidden.

“You and I must return to our universe. We can't bring this one, especially into an environment she has no experience in. It would be cruel to do so. Even if we release her back at our base, everything she knew would be either too different or nonexistent. Remember your exploration of the places you once lived in?”

Jack hiccuped out a warbling noise at the reminder, and Optimus could feel a few mechs’ willpower crumbling away at that sound. He coiled his field around the boy, and Jack immediately latched onto him, anchoring deep as he leveled out the sharp notes and soothed away the hurts.

“We can find a suitable wildlife rehab or a sanctuary.”

"Can we visit her?”

“I’m sure we can find time.”

Hello!! I was wondering if you could write a TFP Optimus with the human reader (any gender) where they flirt with Optimus around the bots and humans, I want to know how Fowler would react. Bonus if they make him blush so much that even Ratchet is embarrassed 😭

Once upon a time on the planet ✨Earth✨, you, a human, found yourself working closely with the Autobots, particularly with Optimus Prime. As you spent more time together, you couldn't help but be drawn to the stoic and noble leader.

One day, during a casual conversation among the bots and humans, you decided to playfully flirt with Optimus, hoping to see his reaction. As you dropped some subtle compliments and witty remarks, Optimus's normally composed demeanor faltered slightly, and a faint blush graced his metallic cheeks. Even the ever-serious Ratchet couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head, clearly taken aback by this rare display of emotion from the Autobot leader.

As the days went by, you continued to tease Optimus, and he found himself growing more accustomed to your playful banter. The other Autobots couldn't help but notice the change in Optimus's behavior whenever you were around. Bumblebee would give sly grins, Arcee would playfully nudge Optimus, and Bulkhead would offer words of encouragement.

Meanwhile, Agent Fowler, who often worked closely with the Autobots, couldn't quite believe what he was witnessing. He'd never seen Optimus act this way before, and it left him both amused and puzzled. He found himself blushing at the innocent flirtatious exchanges between you and Optimus, much to his embarrassment.

One day, when you had successfully made Optimus blush once again, Fowler couldn't contain his curiosity any longer and decided to confront Optimus about his newfound flustered state. Optimus, with a slight smile, simply replied, "I suppose being around our human friend has made me appreciate and understand emotions on a deeper level."

And so, your playful flirting with Optimus continued, creating an endearing dynamic among the Autobots and humans. The relationship between you and Optimus grew stronger, demonstrating that even in the midst of intergalactic battles, lighthearted moments and connections could be found. And though Agent Fowler was still occasionally caught off guard by your interactions, he came to accept and appreciate the unique bond you shared with the Autobot leader, adding a touch of warmth and humor to their epic adventures.

IM SORRY THIS TOOK ME SO LONG ID BEEN ON HOLIDAY AND THIS HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRAFTS FOR AGES 😭😭

I also wanna say thanks for 23 followers y’all and I’m being serious I’ve never really got anywhere on tumblr the past times I made a blog 😭😭🫶🫶

[thenamesblurrito]

screw it have the cosmere/transformers thoughts that plague me

spoilers ahoy

i'm willing to bet that whatever Adonalsium was, Primus and Unicron may be vaguely similar entities depending on interpretation. obviously the cosmere belongs exclusively to the Shards, but if it's a dwarf galaxy, then perhaps, just perhaps, Cybertron's galaxy could be its neighbor

(please picture Adonalsium and Primus studiously ignoring each other across lightyears of empty space bc they have their own problems thank you very much that other god over there is minding their own business)

Unicron may not have been strong enough to eat Adonalsium straight up, given that we know he can be defeated by Primus/various forces vaguely allied with Primus. but the scattered, weakened Shards warring with one another... hmmm the cosmere might look like a nice snack now

IF we go with the understanding that they are similar but alien entities to one another, then would there not be an entire system of "investiture" equivalence for Cybertron? you've got outliers and point-one percenters, you've got the Primal artifacts of great magic power, you've got everything about the Allspark, the Spiritual Realm Well of Sparks, the various properties of energon and sentio metallico and transwarp energy, etc. i'm willing to bet that there's an entire Cybertronian paradigm to realmatic theory that could be explored by perhaps a very very lost member of the Seventeenth Shard that has a similar setup but different power source to the cosmere

and if that's the case, could Transformers even intersect at all with the cosmere's magic systems, when they run on their own system? could they absorb or be affected by investiture if they're full of energon and powered by a spark? would they be immune to any invested influence, but likewise be unable to use their own outlier abilities on an invested object, or a Shard-influenced or Adonalsium-created thing?

i'm not going to touch on Era 3 or 4, there's already so much to explore with "low tech" cosmere lore that i feel like bringing in computers and spaceships would just blow my mind and provide so many cool alt modes for Cybertronians to scan.... (that said i really need to read TotES)

spren manifest as metal in the Physical Realm. is a Transformer spark simply a powerful spren manifesting/forging a metal body in the Physical Realm?

is a Transformer's frame simply really fancy Shardplate?? (and didn't Brandon say that it would be extremely hard but possible for Radiants in Shardplate to combine?? helloooo gestalts)

could a Cybertronian bond a spren? would it function like a Headmaster/Targetmaster binary bond or like a proper Nahel bond??

would the Magnus Hammer be able to influence the Stormfather?

also coppermind Matrix. it's orange and everything

yknow that TFP episode where Optimus was dying (as usual) and then the hammer remade him bigger better faster stronger? something something he's a Returned (even moreso if you consider he's canonically one of the reincarnated original Thirteen)

actually i think i could argue that anyone upgraded to a Prime by the Matrix is a form of Returned

would LOVE to see a shade from Hell react to a Transformer. likewise would love to see anyone in the cosmere deal with an undead mech, be it ghost, Terrorcon, or Allspark-fueled

i think kandra wouldn't be any more gross to the average Cybertronian than any other organic, they're all made of meat and bones and recycled organic matter anyway. they'd probably think of kandra as organic Mutacons?

they'd probably find the color draining effects of Breath very morbid. after all, their own corpses go grey. it seems fitting

would cold constructed mecha be reforged into their spark-determined true form given enough investiture?

could a Shardblade cut through Cybertronian armor? assuming a mech is forged from cybermatter/sentio metallico, the metal flesh of a living planetary god, i'd like to think that may register... a little bit special, in realmatic theory

even if their armor was just normal metal, how much aluminum is in their makeup?

and if a Shardblade can slice through, would it deaden the limb or just cut it in half?

relatedly, could an Allomancer burn shavings from a mech's armor? if they're made of cybermatter instead of regular metal, what kind of effects would that have?

could an Allomancer steelpush off a mech?? would this mess with their internals? how precise could an Allomancer get with what particular body part/how deep into the frame they're targeting? a human weighs nothing next to a mech, but could they take one down by steelpushing the circuitry of the processor?

could energon store stormlight? or does it already have its own "investiture" equivalent as crystal blood of gods

photonic crystals can store sparks, so could they capture a spren?

Lockdown would collect Hemalurgic spikes

Sebarial and Swindle would be instant besties

Nightblood and Starscream. picture it

KELSIER and Starscream. oh god

would Kelsier punch Rung

for that matter would non-Cybertronians or people not native to the Unicron/Primus section of the universe operating on that power paradigm be able to perceive and remember Rung?

the Ghostbloods would try to take advantage of sudden giant alien metal warriors showing up out of nowhere. i'd like to think it would be a comedy of errors in miscommunication and accidentally thwarted plans until Kelsier throws up his hands and decides to call it quits on these guys

Soundwave would visit Roshar and have the same "it's the most beautiful music in the wooooooorld *sob*" breakdown as that one G1 episode upon hearing the rhythms and tones, i think he'd absolutely be able to hear them naturally

HEARTS OF STEEL STYLE TRANSFORMERS BUT COSMERE THEMED INSTEAD OF EARTH STEAMPUNK

Bondsmith Optimus. because yes

Lightweaver Jazz. spymaster? sound and light show? it's perfect

flying contest: Windrunners, Skybreakers, and Heavenly Ones vs Seekers. who wins? (personally i think nobody would "win" bc the two groups are functionally doing Very Different Things)

for a more applicable contest of power, anyone with the Surge of Gravitation vs Victorion

Ultra Magnus/Minimus Ambus would be right at home in Azir, please let him have fun with other rule-happy bureaucrats

and if you read this far, the real final reason i've thought so much about this...

i literally just want to see Hoid have to deal with any Cybertronian. i seriously cannot pick a favorite individual or scenario. Hoid ending up on the Lost Light? Hoid plopped on Cybertron and anointing himself Prime's Wit of the functionist regime bc by god they need someone to knock them down a peg? Hoid discovering a frozen Skyfire or Megatron on some cosmere planet? Hoid collecting minicons? Hoid adding another esoteric power to his list and getting possessed by the Cube ala RotF?

[keef-a-corn]

Dat’s right, People, it’s time for ‘Keef watches TFP and you just get the notes!’

This is for season 1, episode 18: Metal Attraction.

I write down the timestamps, but I watch Transformers Prime on Stan (an Australian streaming service) so they may be slightly off.

ALSO! I try my best to note points for every character, but tend to get a little caught up by Bee (although I think I do a pretty good job with the notes regardless) so do be warned.

These are going to be the most useless episode notes I will ever create. If you liked Metal Attraction these are not the notes for you.

~~~~Transition~~~~

00:07 - starting off strong with dialogue from Ratchet.

00:31 - this is such an incredibly slow episode. There’s so many moments of awkward silence and moments that take too long.

00:37 - Glad that June’s so respectful when addressing Ratchet.

00:45 - I want that story, are you kidding? Optimus and Bee scouting together. Would probably be similar to Masters and Students but that doesn’t matter… ugh.. If Optimus doesn’t say anything this is a filler.

00:49 - AYO-

00:51 - She wants Optimus to be your new Father, Jack. Be grateful!

00:53 - not really. One thing you’ll find, Ratchet is that humans will thirst over any and everything.

00:56 - Sometimes I’m dumb and need to search up words. I’m adding in a new part where I put in the definition for any word/words I had to search up.

Flux (noun): the action or process of flowing or flowing out.

01:14 - Megatron has a weird floaty turn.

01:26 - Angst potential, Breakdown feeling an overwhelming need to prove himself useful (an overworked and overwhelmed character angst prompt.)

~intro~

02:17 - The backgrounds are gorgeous.

02:46 - This episode’s really trying to subvert itself from the usual points. Miko and June are heavily animated, but they obviously don’t have stronger emotions.

03:08 - What a mild reaction to a pathetic reaction… what is going on? Is it this episode? Why is everything so slow..?

03:16 - That’s what it’s like having a dog.

03:26 - It’s obviously a different thing! One is just testing out a feature, the other is field work!!

03:35 - O H MY G A W D Sometimes I question if these notes are worth it. It’s not like I can even hold out hope for Bumblebee.

03:41 - what did you say?. Arcee was going to go with Jack to test out a feature, when she got frustrated by the situation she decided to go on the more dangerous mission. Nothing June said is relevant aside from asking if they had to, to which Arcee neither confirmed nor denied that at that moment it was a necessary task!

04:22 - why are there two handles?

04:36 - If you know, you know.

04:41 - The animation and camera angle make her look like one of those really good quality Batman video games.

04:42 - for like a full second there’s something wrong with the colouring on her eye as it bleeds out.

05:00 - Those rocks are made of rubber apparently. How else would you explain why they bounced so much?. I have a theory as to where the other parts of the budget were cut to make this a filler episode. Normally errors like these are easy to ignore because you’re invested in the story, but I’m so bored that I’m picking apart other things.

05:20 - isn’t there an actual type of spider that does that? Creepy af.

05:40 - as much as her walk cycle reminds me that I’m a lesbian, it was highly unnecessary. Airachnid had no reason the walk, she should’ve just flown away when she had the relic.

06:23 - Arcee choosing not to send Miko back proves that June had every right to be concerned about Jack.

06:38 - as much as it’s something they bond over, Bulkhead should’ve said no. They’re still in the field.

06:41 - exactly.

06:49 - I’m gonna be honest I laughed a bit too hard at that. I was going to say ‘Bumblebee in a nutshell’ but I couldn’t do that to him.

07:05 - *sigh* That line was unnecessary. She moved out of the way. She fell behind. If she believes she should take point then she should’ve started walking instead of moving.

07:07 - Honestly, I really like Bulkhead’s character. He knows how to talk to characters and I love it. He’s got a bit of that ‘older sibling that treats you the way you didn’t realise you wanted to be treated’ energy to him. + I meant to point out how the camera angle is weird.

07:14 - HAH, because she’s a two wheeler-

+ I’VE WORKED IT OUT. There was something wrong with the way Arcee looks, I’ve been trying to work out what. It’s the paint. It’s too pale and the lighting’s off. That’s why they don’t have Optimus and Bumblebee. They made the budget smaller in the animation department so they could bring in more Voice Actors. Bee’s not in it because he has more moving parts and relys on animation to bring his character together and Optimus is Optimus. You make him look good out of respect for his awesomeness, also because his design has that slight glitter in bright areas as well as the metal having a reflection in it.

09:09 - ahah.. what?.

12:23 - may have started crying after seeing Ratchet. Finally some good fraggin animation.

12:25 - Ratchet >>>>> anyone else that has shown up in this episode

12:34 - I won’t stop talking about him. It’s not that big a deal, but I like the way he’s standing there with his arm over the railing as if he was recently talking to the other humans.

12:48 - he really said madam

13:11 - Glad they called for help. Boy wouldn’t their jobs have been so much easier if this wasn’t a filler so they could’ve called Optimus and Bumblebee-

13:42 - I laughed a bit too hard.

14:30 - *cri* Bulkhead deserves the world ohmygawd

14:39 - Let’s be clear.. Arcee and June are both in the right for their protectiveness over Jack. June would only be overprotective if it had been a longer stretch of time since she first met the bots.

16:52 - OF FOR FRAG’S SAKE! AIRACHNID ACTUALLY PROPERLY DODGES BULKHEAD’S ATTACK, SHE WASN’T GOING TO FIGHT BACK IN THE WAY SHE WOULD FOR ARCEE.

18:06 - I see.. Airachnid’s into the ladies-

18:25 - This angle is so confusing. It makes the sizes look so strange.

19:28 - that was visually so funny.

20:14 - please no.. this is so pretty, why must they transition away so quickly?

20:20 - Mmm budget, makes them look so beautiful.

20:36 - Okay, this is very genuine and respectful and I love it.

———————

Oh thank Primus it’s over!

Safe to say I did not enjoy that episode. Genuinely had an easier time watching Predatory than I did this episode.

If you liked it, that’s great! I’m so glad!

But I couldn’t take it.

Arcee and Airachnid’s ‘rivalry’ makes me so unbelievably frustrated. There’s no respect. In a good rivalry characters need two things. They need to have some level of respect for one another and they need to be able to put aside their differences when the time calls for it. Megatron and Optimus have those traits, so do Breakdown and Bulkhead, but Airachnid and Arcee do not. I get why Arcee doesn’t like Airachnid! But why doesn’t Airachnid like Arcee? What because the one time she (Airachnid) captured her (Arcee), Arcee escaped? Oh wait. No. Arcee didn’t escape. She was rescued.

The episode did a great job bringing light to just how in tune Bulkhead is to Arcee, but that’s about it.

[weenwrites]

Hi!! How are you doing?

Could I request hcs (their reactions?) for Ratchet, Optimus, Arcee and Bumblebee, when they quite accidentally found out that reader is a cyborg?

TFP Bumblebee, Ratchet, Arcee and Optimus Discovering Their Charge To Be a Cyborg

Pairing - Platonic Category - Headcanons Trigger Warnings - None

The instant the shot had landed, clouding you in dust and debris every autobot had called out your name, already assuming that the worst had happened. That you were gone. However, it seemed to be the complete opposite when you emerged from the dust, seemingly unscathed. But as the rest of the dust settled, revealing you once more, they were shocked to find metal shrapnels and circuitry was exposed, not human flesh or blood.

Bumblebee

Of course the common question among all of them is: "Who made you?" Or if you are a human with cyborg implants, their question would instead be: "Who did this? How did you get the implants?" Though they won't voice their question... Well... Bumblebee would ask you. If you aren't comfortable with answering, the scout would beep a couple apologies in turn and instead ask you other things like... What can you do? Do you have built-in weapons like he does? Are you stronger than the average human? He won't treat you any differently than he did before, but seeing that he didn't know you were a cyborg before and neither did anyone else, he'll excitedly say that you're a robot in disguise just like he is! (Sorta.)

Ratchet

He would probably be able to recognize whether you're actually a cyborg from another planet or not depending on how your circuitry looks. Or if you're a human with cyborg implants he'll acknowledge that this is an impressive piece of technology that—well he's assuming that humans made it—that some human(s) made for you. He treats you no different and regardless of whether your endurance and strength are higher than the average human, he'll still remind you to take care of yourself like everyone else. Ratchet also feels much more sure that he'll be able to fix you encase you're ever injured. It'll be much more easier learning how to fix anything remotely close to technology rather than something organic.

Arcee

Depending on how strong you truly are, Arcee might just stop worrying over you so much. She'll be put more at ease and feel more comfortable with leaving you on your own. She is curious about your abilities and will ask a few questions if you seem comfortable with it. Also this revelation finally explains why you seemed heavier compared to the average human.

Optimus

He would still never send you out to fight, but depending on how strong you are, he might be less concerned about accidentally stepping on you around base. Still, he'll watch where he steps. If you're strong enough he'll request for your help around base, whether it be carrying something rather heavy for a human, or opening something too small for him to open himself like for example a vent in the wall to perform some maintenance.

[nekkyousagi]

Knockout...Doctor & Designer?

Doing a little character analysis on TFP Knockout, based on something I read on his official TFWiki page. According to his toy bio, Knockout is the Deception’s weapons designer...not exactly the best one but...willing to experiment and then sell to the highest bidder!

I thought, oh sure create that bio as an excuse to sell more toys with extra cool weapons but...is this actually hinted at in the show?! Going back and re-watching TFP again, there’s actually a lot of reasons for Knockout to be the ‘Mad Doctor’ and...Weapons Designer!

Ever since his first appearance, there are tons of hints to Knockout being some kind of weapons and upgrade specialist and not just Ship’s Doctor. Whether by objectively admiring the frames and mods of other bots, or possibly giving him another reason to flaunts his own. And also explains why he’s constantly fascinated with new and rare gadgets.

In his debut episode, “Dues Ex Machina”, Knockout first assumes he’s been summoned for something not quite medically related. "I take it Lord Megatron requires a laboratory assist?" Experimental lab work for the Decepticons? Well, he does a lot of that later in the show.

And when Starscream comments the reason he’s been called back is for his medical expertise, Knockout responds: "I've done plenty of 'body work', Starscream, but I'm better at breaking 'em than fixing 'em." Body work, as in...body modifications, perhaps???

Next, in “Speed Metal”, he moans over how his specially painted door, ripped off by Optimus in order to save a kidnapped human, is “hard to replace.” Not fix...replace!!! As in, perhaps maybe a good amount of his frame is made of special modifications that can’t just be repaired so easily?? Or that he prefers replacing a part with better options than fixing them??

This is hinted at more at the end of the episode, while Starscream is reprimanding him for his actions, he says, "My mistake, Commander Starscream. But I've learned my lesson and...payed the price."

Paying the price perhaps in a literal sense...? How much energon did your pretty paint job cost, Knockout??? XD [Btw What do they even use for money on Cybertron...??]

His expertise as a weapons dealer is hinted at quite strongly in the episode “Shadowzone”, when Knockout is trying his best to help Starscream heal from his post-Megatron-thrashing, and is quite confused about his Commander’s arm going missing. But instead of trying to fix it, Knockout immediately goes into a sales pitch!! And he’s quite enthusiastic about it! With practiced salesman verbiage...like he’s done this before.

When Starscream refuses the upgrade, Knockout comments, "But Starscream, your equipment is a bit...obsolete. I'm not sure I have another one lying around."

Later he returns with an arm similar to Starscream’s original look...with added FIREPOWER, of course! Just...hanging around “in storage”!

Judging by this scene alone, you could definitely say Knockout was, and perhaps still is, a bit of an...“Arms Dealer.” XD

So...the Decepticons obviously have plenty of storage space on the Nemesis, judging by how much Energon they’re hoarding and Iacon relics and dangerous weapons they gather over the course of the show. But it seems like Knockout is more aware of what they have “in storage” than the other members, even Megatron.

To his credit, Knockout does have a great deal of medical knowledge and skill, wherever he acquired them. It makes him almost the perfect rival to Ratchet, as far as medical and tech abilities. He was very aware of the dangerous properties of Dark Energon and the side-affects of using it [Flying Mind], recognized Ratchet’s unusual increase in strength as probably the result of a ‘chemical enhancement’, [Stronger, Faster] and he showed much finesse when repairing Starscream’s T-Cog [Regeneration] and installing a fallen Prime’s arm to upgrade Megatron. [Alpha / Omega] He even started picking apart the mechanics of the Phase Shifter device before using it on Smokescreen. Quickly analyzing the base engineering despite it being a rare and unique Iacon relic. [Inside Job]

Keeping to the description in his toy bio of calling dibs on quality items, Knockout wanted to keep the Phase Shifter for himself...and on several occasions used rare and powerful weapons to make up for his small size and, most importantly, protect his finish.

Though perhaps not quite as skillful and efficient a scientist as Shockwave, Knockout’s ‘expertise’ in both medical and technological work, and perhaps pitching his collection of black market weapons and mods, was enough to buy him a cushy top spot in the Decepticon hierarchy. Shockwave, as far as the Decepticons knew, until his return in Season 3, was thought to be deceased. So an efficient replacement medic/scientist was needed in the ranks. And Knockout does fulfill the role to the best of his abilities.

Yet, despite his somewhat sadistic willingness to take apart other bots and habit of teasingly threatening victims with non-consensual surgery...

...Knockout seems to have a certain moral aversion toward ‘Biotech’.

This I noticed after the unfortunate demise of his partner Breakdown. Though we never did see him actually grieve for his fallen partner, save a brief sad look, he seemed more appalled and enraged that his partner was taken apart and fused with a human~! Throughout the show he makes many comments about his disgust for organics, calling them ‘fleshies’ and ‘skin jobs’. And as he says in “The Human Factor” and “Thirst”, he’s sure that Breakdown would've been pleased knowing that the one who humiliated his pride, despite now occupying his sparkless shell, would receive the same pain and humiliation he’d felt. I see it as showing Knockout’s more loyal side to his partner in a way not easily understood. Breakdown no doubt witnessed many a bot endure Knockout’s scientific experiments and modifications, playing his role as his assistant, and perhaps the two were less sensitive about the whole matter than you’d think... and not averse to snuffing a spark or two, if necessary. It may have been their way of surviving the war, and may have let them to being recruited by Megatron. Also might explain Breakdown’s odd skill at buffing. You’d need a good balance of strength and care to polish up rare and powerful weapons and parts to get them ready for market.

But not to get side-tracked, it seems convincing from the show that Knockout is much more than just a pretty face. And makes me glad that his moral side did eventually come out, choosing to side with the Autobots...though it may have been self-preservation kicking in. But as he said in the finale, he ‘didn’t have the best role-models.’ So perhaps throughout his life, Knockout’s only way of getting what he wanted was to wheel-and-deal...and maybe steal. Parts, weapons, buying and selling, swooning and crooning, whatever it took to survive. While still looking out for number 1...

---------------------------------

Y/N was walking towards her room in the Autobots base. She actually lived there, because the Decepticons destroyed her house after she caught the fight between an Autobot and an Decepticon. But what if I told you that it were leaders who were fighting? Yes, the leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, was fighting against somebot who he considered as his brother. It was Megatron himself, the leader of the Decepticons. The Autobots were good ones while the Decepticons were the bad ones. Y/N regonised immediatly who were good and bad ones. You can see it in the optics color and actions they do. 

Megatron even almost kidnapped Y/N since she saw them, but Optimus didn't let that happen. He saved her life. And in return, Megatron destroyed Y/N's place. Optimus, being a gentlebot he can be, offered her to live at the base. Y/N accepted the offer. Optimus explained everything to her that he was an Cybertronian from the planet Cybertron, that he was in planet Earth to protect humans from the Decepticons and other stuff. Y/N was in fact interested. Optimus asked her different stuff to get to know her and she gladly responded. 

Optimus introduced Y/N to the team Prime. There were Ratchet, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Arcee, Ultra Magnus and there were humans too named: Miko, Jack and Raf. Y/N was quite shy at first, but she warmed up to all of them. Somebots needed time to warm up to her. 

Miko was the first one to befriend Y/N fast. She was especially happy that she wasn't the only female human in the team. Arcee was in fact a femme too, but she was an young warrior from Cybertron. Miko asked Y/N a lot of questions. You know, like: "Do you like heavy metal?" "How much do you weight?" "How old are you?" and other stuff.

Raf had to stop Miko from talking and told her to give Y/N time to breath. He was such a cute guy that you can call a brother. He was smart in computeres that you can ask him for help if you had any problems of your computer. He would gladly fix it for you. 

Jack was the oldest human. Well, as a kid. Jack warmed up to Y/N and sees her as a good friend that he can trust. Y/N felt sorry once she heard that Jack, Miko and Raf were being bullied by a guy called Vince. That guy thinks that bullying was fun! Well, it's not! Y/N was only (age) years old and still, she gave Vince an actual punch on the face! Miko was very amazed since she's quite energetic. She almost finds everything cool. Raf was glad to have a new friend that can be stronger then Vince. Optimus was in fact amazed when he saw how Y/N strong was.

Now let's go to the bots:

There was a grumpy medic named Ratchet. He was annoyed to see another human at the base since he said that 3 were enough. It took him a lot of time to warm up to Y/N. He liked her as a friend. Y/N would help sometimes Ratchet. He sure was a busy one being a medic and all. He even fixes things or builds things like for an example: he build projects for Miko, Jack and Raf.

Arcee was the only femme bot of the team and a young warrior. She's in fact the smallest of the bots. She can transform into a blue motorcycle. She was accidentally spotted by Jack that Optimus asked her to bring him to the base. Arcee was then caught by Miko, because she followed Arcee that was in her motorcycle form. Arcee liked Y/N and she would talk sometimes to Y/N. She was also Jack's guardian.

Bulkhead liked Y/N. He was Miko's guardian since Miko spoke to Bulkhead first. He was surprised by Miko's sudden questions that he couldn't respone. Bulkhead was also very nice to Y/N.

Ultra Magnus can be rude sometimes. Heck, he was not nice when he met Y/N. But in return, Y/N was feisty and stood up for herself before Optimus made a move to stand up for Y/N. Magnus was surprised and learned fast to not mess with her. At least he warmed up to Y/N like a week later. 

Bumblebee or just Bee was such a nice scout! He was Raf's guardian. He sadly couldn't speak due his voice box (or pipes) being destroyed. Bee was so nice to Y/N. Raf can even understand Bee good which was very special. 

Finally we have Optimus himself. He was the tallest of the team. Primes are like always the tallest of the teams. Optimus was in fact very close to Megatron's height. When Optimus lived in Cybertron, he was a clerk named Orion Pax. Very unique name, right? He became concered after he learned more about Cybertron. He was Megatronus' best friend. He supported him and even was like a mentor to him by saying strong and helpful words. Like Master Splinter to the turtles. He decided to be Y/N's guardian since he took her to the base and he was the first Autobot to be seen. Optimus was one of the most kindest en gentlebots that Y/N ever met.

Anyway, Y/N entered her bedroom and she saw a letter on her bed. She walked up to her bed and grabbed the letter. It read:

Dear, Y/N,

Meet me at the cliff in the forest tonight. I have a surprise for you.

From Optimus.

Ok, Y/N was surprised and shocked. She loved surprises, especially from Optimus. She was shocked that it was from Optimus. How in earth did he get in her room? He was like 30 feet tall (I think) while Y/N was (number) feet tall. Did Optimus asked Raf, Miko or Jack to place the letter on her bed? Definetly not Miko, because she would tell Y/N immediatly that Optimus had a crush on her. Yes, the Prime had a crush on her. He couldn't help but admire her beauty and her personality. But what the Prime doesn't know was that Y/N was in love with him as well.

"What is Optimus planning?" Y/N asked to herself.

Let's just say that Ratchet made something and told Optimus about it. Then the Prime had an idea and asked Ratchet to turn him into a bipedal form. Bipedal forms make the bots smaller, close to normal human's height. Once Ratchet got the truth why, he agreed since he did noticed how Optimus would stare at Y/N in secret.

When the night came, everyone were sleeping, except Optimus and Y/N. The Prime was waiting on his human crush with the big surprise. 

Y/N was now walking towards the cliff in the forest. It was close located in the base so it was ok. Once Y/N reached the cliff, she was shocked to see how beautiful the sky was. It was covered with stars. There were no lights in the forest so the sky was clear. 

"It's so beautiful," Y/N said in awe.

"That's true, Y/N," said a familiar deep voice. 

Y/N gasped in surprise and turned around to see Optimus, except... he's smaller! Close to Y/N's height! He had a soft gentle smile on his face plate. Y/N was stunned. How? How was this possible?

"H-How?"

Optimus chuckled and walked up to her until he's infront of her. "Ratchet showed me a new project that he finished. When he was done explaining, I had an idea and I asked him to turn me in a bipedal form."

 "F-Fair enough." Y/N was still stunned. 

Optimus smiled still and cupped Y/N's cheek with his servo. He was doing it gently since her skin was so soft and he's metal. He sees Y/N blushing from the touch contact. "Y/N, I have a confession to make," Optimus began. "Ever since I know you more, I fell in love with you. I love everything about you."

Y/N couldn't believe what she heard. Optimus actually loved her a lot! Y/N's dream was coming true! "O-Optimus, I... I feel t-the same." She smiled shyly.

Optimus was now very happy. His crush felt the same. His other servo cupped her other cheek so he's now cupping her both cheeks and is stroking them. Y/N placed her hands on top of his servos, making contact with them. 

Optimus then leaned in and pressed his dermas against her soft lips. Yes, he was kissing her. Y/N kissed him back, feeling so loved by Optimus. The gentle kiss turned heated and Y/N's arms moved around his neck while she felt Optimus' servos very close to her ass. Looks like the Prime was getting turned on~

Optimus licked Y/N's bottem lip, asking to go inside. His glossa felt almost like human. Y/N granted his wish and she felt his glossa make contact with her tongue. It felt so nice and pleasurable that Y/N moaned into th kiss. Optimus felt pleasure too and didn't want to stop. He felt then something thay he hadn't felt in a long time. Heat. He dated once a femme warrior called Elita-One. Yes, they did kissed and made out a few times, but never did "it" before. Y/N felt a lot different then Elita. 

Y/N's ass was then squeezed gently and she moaned. Optimus had a naughty side that he only showed when he felt pleasure with his sparkmate. 

That's when Optimus pulled away from the kiss, his servos still on her ass. "Want to coninue this is my truck?" His optics were full of lust.

Wait, Optimus' truck was here? But where? Looks like Optimus hid his truck somewhere near by. 

"Yes, please. I want you, Prime." Y/N's voice was husky and seductive since she's turned on and wet. It was impossible to get rid with it by yourself. It's quite hard. 

Optimus picked Y/N up bridal style, still having lust in his optics. Y/N wrapped er arms around his neck as the Prime walked towards his truck. He then opened his truck door in his way, even though he's holding his human sparkmate. He had his ways. The Prime then layed Y/N down on the seat and closed the truck behind him. He even locked it! 

Optimis climbed on top of her and smashed his dermas against her lips, not too hard since she's human. The kiss got immediatly heated and they made out again. Optimus' servos were next to her head to support him. Y/N wrapped her arms around his neck and stroked the back of his helm, causing him to purr.

After 3 minutes of making out, Optimus moved his head towards her neck and started to leave soft kisses. He was so gentle.

Y/N sighed in pleasure and once she felt her sweetspot, she gasped and moaned a bit. "O-Optimus, a-ah!~"

Optimus purred and and starts to nibble the spot. He licked, sucked and even bit with his dentas. Y/N moaned while stroking the back of his helm. Optimus continued to abuse the spot, until he's sure that there would be a hickey left.

He then took Y/N's shirt and threw it on the floor next to the seat. He couldn't help but stare. "Beautiful..."

Y/N blushed.

Optimus then tried to remove her F/C color bra, but couldn't figure out how. Y/N giggled and helped him. After the bra was on floor too, Optimus used one of his servos to gently grabbed one of Y/N's boobs and he then leaned down towards her nipple. He then grabbed the nipple into his mouth and started to suck while he massaged the other boob. 

Y/N moaned while stroking his helm. Her nipples were hard. She watched how Optimus switched and gave other nipple attention too while he massaged other. After a minute passed by, Optimus moved down and pulled her pants and panties off. He threw them on the floor. He then looked at her fully, from head to toe. Once Optimus made eye contact with Y/N, he smiled lovely at her.

"Will you let me continue, sweetspark?"

Y/N nodds. "Yes, please, Optimus. I want you." She's feeling horny and she wanted her Cybertronian boyfriend now.

Optimus then let his spike come out. It looked a lot like from male humans, but a tiny bit different. It was hard and it looked like to be beging to go into Y/N's wet pussy. Oh, and did I forgot to metion that Optimus' spike was huge?

Y/N looked a bit nervous. Was it going to fit? She then felt Optimus' member enter her, ripping her walls since she was a virgin. It caused her to gasp in surprise. It was painful that tears build up in her eyes. Optimus was going slow and gently since he doesn't want to hurt her badly. He whispered sweet words into her ear to make her relax.

Once Optimus was fully in , he waits in patience. What a gentlebot. Since it can take a while for the pain, to go away, Optimus looked lovely into Y/N's eyes. He had his own tricks to make the time go faster. Y/N was lost in his optics. She didn't realised that the time was going fast and the pain was away. She felt pleasure took over her body.

"M-Move."

Optimus nodded and started to move slowly first. He heard Y/N moan softly. Y/N was just in heaven with Optimus. 

"O-Optimus, faster, h-harder, please!" She was begging him and Optimus wasn't gonna lie. He loved it. He gladly granted her wishes and went faster and harder, causing her to scream in pleasure. 

Optimus started to grunt and moan in pleasure too. He felt Y/N wrapped her bare legs around his waist. It gave him a better acces to go deeper and he did go deeper. Y/N wrapped her arms around his back and let's just say that the pleasure was so pure that she was scratching his paint. 

Then Y/N felt Optimus hit her g-spot. "O-Optimus, right t-there!~"

Optimus then slammed into her g-spot again and again. 

"Ahhhh!~"

Then Optimus sat up, pulling Y/N on his lap. His member was still inside her and Y/N started to rise him. Optimus moaned. The new couple were actually looking into eachother eyes lovely. They're lost with pure pleasure. That's when they kissed eachother roughly while having sex in Optimus' truck. They moaned loud and they're alone so it was good. There were even no Decepticons around. Optimus' servo was squeezing her ass while his other servo was behind her head. Y/N's arms were around his neck.

They continued to have sex for almost 2 minutes, until...

"O-Optimus, I'm c-cumming!"

"Cum for me, sweetspark."

They were looking at eachother lovely and that's when Y/N came. Optimus came afterwards, shooting his warm seed inside her that Y/N felt it in her woomb as well. They both panted. Y/N was in fact tired and felt sleepy. Optimus gently lifted her up so that he can pull out and he layed down on the seat, causing Y/N to lay on top of him his frame.

"T-That was amazing," Y/N panted with a tired smile.

Optimus smiled lovely at her. "It was, sweetspark." His servo cupped her cheek. "We should recharge here. Don't worry, the others know that we are away."

Y/N nodded and snuggled into him. Optimus covered Y/N up with a blanket that he's keeping in his truck. He watched Y/N sleep with a smile. He finds her adorable. He then went to recharge since he's tired too. He held Y/N protectively in his arms.

First smut in this book. Hope you like it ;)
