#tfp smokescreen

[zackaryart]

I love smokescreen!! He's so cute and handsome istg!!

[berracids]

I will start to use the term ‘muscle car trio’ when referring to those lovable speedy idiots.

can I ask for headcanons of them (N/SFW either is fine) with a car enthusiast reader who loves tinkering with cars and is a total grease monkey and how each bot is like

SWEET HOT MOTOR OIL, I’ve been waiting for that!, I love those three so much it’s crazy y’all fr

A/N: after some researching, turns bumblebee is the only muscle car out of the three (closest car was still the Camaro), since smokescreen and knockout are sports cars (McLaren 12c and Aston Martin vantage) so that means that bumblebee will be labeled as a sports car to fit into the trio

Bumblebee, knockout and smokescreen HCs with car enthusiast reader

Warnings: slightly suggestive themes

Bumblebee

The yellow scout’s presence was always a delight for you to be around with, even if there were no words spoken on his behalf. You had alot to say for the both of you as you held conversations with bee as he would beep, chirp and whirr excitedly as you would bring the car magazine to read it with him.

Peeking beside your shoulder with his wide puppy like optics staring at you with giddiness as you explain the car lines that will come later that year and the official events that will be held, bumblebee would listen to you talk and explain to him the newly recruited racers, the yellow mech would point his large digit at the paper, pointing to the racer he is betting on to win.

Bumblebee enjoys messing around with yours and ratchet’s tool as he tries tweaking a few things in him before giving up and dragging his pedes with his door wings slung down as he gobies you his biggest puppy optics he can to guilt you into unscrewing some of his bolts so he can relax a bit, for a mech on the smaller side and having the build of a muscle car is lot of load on him, as he is not used to the frame of earth vehicles with it being heavier than his original cybertronian model

Knowing that ratchet would chew your ears and his audio receptors you begrudgingly comply as you can feel him literally buzzing as you unscrew a few of his bolts to relive some of his strain,

That is until he revs his engine suddenly at feeling relaxed which makes you retract your hand quickly to not lose any fingers, and you waste no time reprimanding him, which earns you a guilty and betrayed look by bumblebee as if he didn’t almost cause you to lose a few of your fingers, until you tell him that you will screw his bolts back which gets the yellow mech angry and to whirr with his bright blue optics narrowing at you with his wings pointing downwards as he tries to flee you

Smokescreen

If you think that bumblebee was like a golden retriever puppy just because of his yellow paintjob, then you couldn’t be any more wrong,

Cause smokescreen is the definition of a hyperactive golden retriever that drags you literally anywhere that has the smallest bit of motor related activities, as he wants you to introduce him to all the different types of vehicles

He’s a young mech so he is more curious towards the different form of earth cars and who is better for him to drag than the maestro that you are, with you in his driver seat passing by an auction of brand new sports car, the bright and sleek forms of them catching the gaze of the eye and the optic

Poor you, having to answer all of his questions about the inside of the vehicle,

And I mean all of them, smokescreen won’t stop asking about all the different types of questions for every bolt in the cars that are out there, you would think that by being able to transform into a literal sports car, you would think that he would know the basic earth technology despite it being somewhat primitive to cybertronians

“Hey not all humans know what is in their bodies, we are the same too!, not all of us are medics!” The speedster would excuse his short coming with an embarrassed rev of his engine before his attention is swayed (again) by a sign of someone who sells car parts

“Oh~!, what does an ignition system mean is it like a flame thrower?!, I never knew humans had defensive systems in their vehicles can I get one?!” My sweet summer mech, you make a mental note to have him beside you as you make him read ‘dummy mechanic guide 101’ before you take him to watch the whole process of fixing a car

That mech will cause your pockets to bleed if you caved in for every time he kept begging you to tweak a few things in him, install new upgrades, to make him drive faster.

But do you blame him?, no!, “nothing is better than burning some rubber!” Smokescreen keeps repeating in hopes of poking that competitive driver in you.

Knockout

Speaking about competitive drivers. That is how you two came to know each other.

Meeting at one of the many illegally held street races that knockout goes to blow off some steam, both literally and figuratively, but do you blame the mech? He has the most deranged and unhinged superiors let him have this for himself.

You two raced along with each other more often than not even going on one on one speed off of the finish line to see who would stop first, only for you to do so when your fuel tank is on its last drop as you watch the cherry red vehicle speed off before hearing it’s ‘driver’ laugh at your predicament of being stuck without gas in the middle of nowhere.

“I would advise you to have some extra emergency fuel, you wouldn’t want to lose to me do you?~” lightsparked chuckles left the rolled up illegally tinted glasses of the cherry red car beside you before taking a sharp drift and speeding off into the night leaving you stranded

Rude much?, that was one of the first impressions you had about the anonymous driver of the vantage car, despite that you couldn’t lie and say that his ‘charisma’ (his words) started to to rub off on you and that you in fact do not mind it (also his words)

Days come and you see the unmistakable lavish finish of your racing buddy with his vehicle parked there looking all pretty and buffed to the point you can see your own reflection on the red finish

“New paintjob you got there darling!, where did you get it from?” You turn you head at the sound of the low whistle from your racer friend as he asks where you got the new paintjob of your car

“My own paint booth! At my shop.” And just like that, you have caught knockout’s attention

The decepticon’s medic engine revved with life at seeing you tap on his heavily tinted windows to drop your business card onto his driver seat, and a promise of a very good discount on the polishing and waxing combo

Is this is how humans initiate courtship? Color him satisfied

Because he will take up that offer, so what if he is a huge alien robot that can turn into a car?, do you expect him to pass on such an offer?, of course not!.

And that is how it all came to, just as you were about to close off your shop you heard a loud honk of your ‘friend’ as he drives towards you, “I hope that I am not too late~” and just with that you were met with a 16 feet tall flashy red mech who was waving the business card you gave him a few nights ago with a very mischievous smirk on his faceplate

The thing that knockout forgot to take account for other than turning off his audio receptors because of your blood curdling screams that was caused by seeing his bipedal form like it’s nothing, is that this is your first time seeing him in his bipedal form

“I am expecting extra treatment from you after frying off my audio receptors!” And thats what he is most concerned about,

After sitting you down and giving a brief introduction of himself and reassuring you that he is not planning to harm such a talented craftsmanship such as yours, he wastes no time laying on the plastic covered ground as his helm is supported by his servo with a dashing smile of anticipation while pointing to his red finish

“Polish me like one of your sports cars, and make sure to make it special~” you can’t help the smile that creeps it’s way to your face as you waste no time rolling your overalls and let it hang on your waste to help maneuver when getting into the tiny details of the huge mech laying there in front of you as he rants about his superiors, and how you are a much better company.

After a few hours of polishing and waxing knockout until you can see your reflection on his finish you take a few steps back to admire your work, “already ogling at me aren’t you?, can’t say that I blame you!, I am quite the sight~” he teases as he gets up and takes a look at himself before a look at you seeing the sweat glistening on your exposed skin giving it a shine.

“Can’t say that I’m complaining when having such a sight” such a polished way with words that he has, you thought to yourself as his long talons ruffled your hair before he transforms into his alt mode waving you off and promising that he will make sure to flex your work, “make sure to not make other mechs or earth vehicles look as good as me!”

And with that is how you took knockout as a regular customer, an alien customer that doesn’t pay for the services you provide, at least he provides as a formidable racing buddy

An idea I had 4 years ago and finally got around to lmao

[skybiie]

SIR WHERE ARE YOU GOING WITH THAT

[littlesmokesceenfan]

I find it funny this is his default shock face

[athenaoffantasy]

I'm prepping a new Ultra Magnus centric fanfic. Well... kinda Ultra Magnus centric, but it's a lovely AU that no one, I mean absolutely no one except myself, asked for. Legit just Ultra Magnus being a femme instead but not a soul knows minus his creators that I made two femmes for this story that is only vaguely mentioned and only I know that his carrier knows. She a thick lady so she can carry. I'll post the ao3 link once I finish it in my notes and hopefully be able to proofread it.

Wish I could have a beta reader, but I'm broke

The story is gonna be called "The Ultra in Ultra Magnus". If anyone has a decent summary or is willing to help me make a summary, you can DM me or email me at: athena.alphea@gmail.com

If it's anything else, I will delete and ignore the message, just fyi. Anyways, have a lovely day :3

Sibling behavior

[sunrisecaminus]

I read your recent post and wanted to know if this will be vague enough for a request:

ReaderxBumblebeexSmokescreen. The pair mention how their scouting mission was a bit weird as they saw something unusual and creepy. The reader is curious but sees an opportunity to freak out the pair by telling folk tales and creepy stories from all over the place and tries to get a rise out of the two.

Message - This is a perfect request. It helps me understand the topic and goal of the story while also not being too big for me to not be able to put my own creative writing in it. Also Bee and Smokescreen being scared of creepy stories is so funny to me, like guys you have LASERS!

Bumblebee x Reader x Smokescreen SFW

Summary - The boys get protective of you after scaring them of a real spooky story. Also you try to teach Smokescreen about the circle of life...kind of worked?

Warning - Animal death off screen, Reader tells a story about murder.

It has been forever since you both you and your two favorite bots have hung out together. Usually it was only you and bee, or just you and Smokescreen. Thankfully the Decepticons have been a bit more quiet lately and all of you were able to hang out for a week. Camping and helping out with the boy/girl scouts were your main duties for Jasper, Nevada so you knew a lot of things about the state that others would never know. Haunted houses, urban legends, and mythical creatures were your favorite interests to tell children. It was to give them moral stories for them to follow; Mostly they were the types to be like "aaand that is why you don't make fun of someone" or "so, never go into those woods got it?"

It didn't help that all your Autobot friends had no idea that Humans had urban legends or spooky stories as their culture. Telling Optimus these stories helped him understand the cruelty of Humanity, while also seeing the reason why kids can learn empathy at such a young age. Ultra Magnus and Ratchet thought they were fake, but when they figured out that some of the ones you told were real…that freaked them out like crazy. (They would never admit it obviously.)

Bumblebee and Smokescreen were on their scouting mission for the night, excited to come back to you in a heart beat when it was over. You see, whenever they go out this far for scouting, you are hired to make a mini camp miles out of base to be sort of a quick emergency unit. You may be 20 miles away from Optimus and the others, but Bee and Smokey were only half a mile away from your campsite. Hunting some rabbit for yourself and stealing some Yucca (edible tree plants native to Nevada), you were able to cook up some good rabbit stew. You have been getting this killer pain in your calf for a while now so hopefully the Yucca would help sooth the aching. Eating from your bowl, you start to hear some footsteps just South from where you were sitting. Smokescreen was not a quiet bot, so it wasn't hard to know when he was entering the camp grounds. Bumblebee comes into view and sighs from exhaustion, being out this late was usually not his thing. Smokey on the other hand was still ready for anything and sat down next to you, observing whatever you were eating. Quiet hellos were exchanged while you ate your meal and one of them speaks up. Smokescreen was curious and points at a basket right next to you. "What's that? You didn't seem to carry this when we walks here." Smiling from his innocence, you close the woven basket to keep his eyes away from it. "It's rabbit fur, I am going to sell it when we get the market place back up and running in Jasper."

Bumblebee knew a lot more than Smokescreen did, and one of those was the Earth's life cycle. It took him a while to feel ok about animal death, knowing humans kill them to eat. The topic wasn't fun for him to understand, but now he was comfortable to know that whatever you hunted was for a good cause either for food, clothes, or even money. Smokescreen on the other hand has not learned any of this and is still being taught by Ralph that everything on Earth comes to an end shortly. "Rabbit? Where did you put its insides? Does it have an Allspark?" One thing that Bee liked about you was your patience with people. The confusion was turning into fear if you didn't tell the poor bot anything. "I used the rabbit as my nutrition, Smokey. The rabbit doesn't feel anything when I hunt, it may only feel a slight pinch until it sleeps. I use the meat and bones to help me survive. It's what humans have to use to live." Smokescreen takes a bit to think about it. "By taking another's life?" Bee was about to pitch in, but you spoke before he was able to. "It's life would have ended soon. There are snakes, wolves, and hawks out here in Nevada. Death on earth is much different than it is for Cybertron…its inevitable and we try our best to not let any of the animals suffer for what we have to do in order to survive. Once they die, they turn into the dirt and grass for other animals to live and be able to go on their own journeys. A lot of humans don't like it either and try to find a way to avoid eating meat called vegetarians."

Smokescreen asked more questions and they were pretty easy to answer, most of it was how do you use all of the animal for your day to day life, why does meat give humans nutrients, and why do humans have to confuse him so much. After some time of the air calming and getting a bit more thin, Bumblebee started to talk about their findings. He talks about how they kept hearing noises all around the canyons and how everything around them seem to sound like someone was always sneaking up on them. It was making him a bit nervous, but he understands a lot of Earth makes noise 24/7. You giggle for some parts of his stories, hearing about how Smokescreen accidentally feel in a few holes and getting Bee all dirty in the process of trying to help him out of them. Turning the whole subject around, you think about a perfect opportunity. "Well…I guess it must be the Canyon killer. He must be curious about your robot appearances." Bee glares with a smile and shakes his helm. Smokescreen laughs. "Oh what is this one of your stories?" He stops laughing watching as you put your finger in the middle of your lips. "Shhh, he was never caught so he might be listening into our conversation." Bee perks up from the attitude you were putting and gave a confused look. You gave him the answer to how you were behaving. "Well, it's a true story. A few years ago, dead bodies of humans were discovered in the canyons you were looking at. The investigations went on for months, but no one even found a trace of a culprit."

After some good haunting details, now both of the young Autobots are scared shitless. Smokescreen is looking around ever few seconds to make sure no one was in the forest behind him while Bee was trying to seem like he was brave, but kept taking deep breaths. After some time you chuckle and stick you tongue out. "Oh guys don't worry it was like, 1960 when it happened. That killer should be around 70 by now, he wouldn't stand a chance against big guys like you." Bumblebee sighs out of relief and get up, going over to his big tent and getting his birth ready. Smokescreen lays down next to your body, looking still a bit scared but mostly nervous about something else. "What's wrong Smokey?" He looks at you in the eyes and sighs, laying his helm against your leg. "Y/n, you were talking about all this death stuff, why are humans so scared of a killer when all the guy was doing was hunting? Isn't that normal for you guys?" You stop for a second to think of what to say and set your cup down. "Well, humans hunting humans is much different. Same for if a rabbit hunted a rabbit, it doesn't have any nutritional value for hunting another one of its kind. Humans killing one another is a horrible thing to do on Earth, Not only does the person only do it for fun, but we humans have such a big brain, we feel something called empathy. Losing the people we love is heart breaking and despicable. Knowing that a person could kill others just for the fun of it is chilling. Knowing they only wanted to see others hurt and not feel bad about any of it….it's also illegal in every country so that's another reason why people don't do it." Smokescreen looks up at the covered sky, only being able to see leaves and branches in the way. "…Humans and Cybertronians…aren't as different as I thought we were." A smile grew on your face and put your hand on his cheek. "No, we are not. No matter how many light years we are from each other. You, me, and Bee need to sleep though. We have a long day a head of us."

You go into Bumblebees massive tent and unroll your sleeping bag. Changing into some Pjs, you get yourself all snuggles up and look over at the two bots. Bee grabs your entire body and puts you in between him and Smokescreen. He nuzzles your chest while Smokescreen pets the top of your head. "We wanted to protect you, just incase the Canyon Killer comes to hurt you!" Sighing, you shake your head and close your eyes. "It may be real guys, but don't be scared you little goblins." as you talk they both laugh from your choice of wording. "We will be ok, no one is going to come out and murder me. Besides, they would be way to scared seeing the building size tent in the middle of the woods."

I have thoughts while driving sometimes

[transformers-spike]

Okay on the subject of grounder courting behaviour: it would be really fucking funny if they just like. Start doing donuts and wheelies around you in their alt mode. Just circling you and showing off. I read this one Short fic on this hellsite that I can’t find where a bot does that, and it’s fucking hilarious. I need to see if I can find it.

-🔧

OH MY GOD THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD HOLY SHIT

I swear this is hedgehog mating behavior, if they're revving their engine on top of it then good god, who WOULDN'T frag them?

Heavier bots like Bulkhead and Breakdown are doing careful donuts around you, while Bumblebee, Smokescreen and Knock Out are speeding around you like their lives depend on it (don't worry it's - mostly - safe). Then there's fucking Arcee popping a wheelie and exploding your genitals through sheer sex appeal

Meanwhile, Knock Out is revving his engine so aggressively you KNOW he wants you in his berth

Bro idk what you have to do to get Ultra Magnus, Optimus or Ratchet to court you this way... I assume they'd think it's too dangerous to try it (and they are technically right lmao)

(Hear me out - TFA Blitzwing doing donuts around you in his tank mode while angrily yelling at you to accept his Autobot-style advances already!)

(Or TFA Lockdown doing the scariest donuts imaginable - no he doesn't even come close to hitting you, he's just... menacing)

[r0binisnotavailable]

You ever see an animated character and just think “ah so that’s where the budget went”? That’s all I think when I see this asshole right here

[energon-depo]

"and It's stupid to cry

I know it

And It's stupider

that I can only cry

Infornt of You"

Random smokescreen angst: Ratchet is probably the only person he can be truly vulnerable with. He doesn't know Arcee and bulkhead very well, Optimus is a big no, and bee can't give good advice unfortunately(along with the humans) so has a lot of bottled up emotions that ratchet helps with like a true dad

[marshmel-l0w7]

I've been thinking about how Smokescreen wasn't there for half of TFP and

[skybiie]

What a silly,, I had to redraw this eventually 🥹💛💛💛
