What That Sketch From Earlier Was 4 :]]

Love how Hot Rod immediately jumped to shield Cheetor and Bumblebee

Love him

transformers is funny because it seems to be a simple niche interest but in reality its like if your hot wheels came with greek mythology

big fan of the verions of dadimus and bby bee where bee is the cybertronian equivalent of like 7 yrs old when he's adopted and is suspicious of op at first

like, op is on a scouting mission with what little scraps of a team he managed to put together in the chaos of praxus-in-ruins and comes across a super makeshift little hidey-hole right next to an abandoned adoption center whose well was burning out. b127 didnt get a name yet cus he was too young when the fighting went down but it's been about a vorn after that and he is super malnourished and panicky but managed to avoid detection (or the decepticons honored the rules of war at first, allowing families and children to escape harm, and b just missed the transport ships before they laid waste to the capital city.)

op approaches be cautiously, servos held open to show he isnt a threat. b is like, "no one's s'pposed to be here!" (read: no one's supposed to find me)

"me and my team here came to see if there was anyone hurt, or... still stuck in the rubble. can i... let them take a look at you?"

b is still wary but then op unfolds his battle mask, bit of a still-healing scar over his jaw and mouth. that seems to settle him and he comes closer, lets ratchet take a look at him, and agrees to stay at their makeshift base for now. no caretakers have claimed him yet but he seems to like op

ratchet and op have whispered conversations over what they're gonna do w him, but at this point the matrix has triggered op's fatherly protocols and he wants to take care of b himself. it takes a little longer to earn his full trust but he does it, one soft conversation about the war and what it means over one energon cubes at a time.

b doesnt want to change his designation/adopt a real designation yet and op honors that, but doesnt let him learn how to fight servo to servo until b is like cybertronian teenager-age, which is only two or three vorns later since cybertronians age so quickly

he learns how to fight and starts making friends, learns about the decepticons' and autobots' causes and is allowed to choose whether he wants to stay with them or if his political views are more aligned with megatron's army, but to everyone's secret relief and joy he chooses to stay with them. those who have interacted with him have all taken a liking to their little b, so they are all glad he chose to stay, even more so that he wants to fight with him. he gets his first weapons upgrades and trains under whomever will teach him, although his most frequent sparring partner is op, since he doesn't go too easy on him and lets him learn from his mistakes, etc.

he never really calls op his sire, he's a bit more reserved affectionately speaking and although he always reports to op and asks him to spar he doesnt spend whole days with him. op is always busy anyway, but if b ever asks he does try to drop everything he can to get more free time with him, even if b ends their time together faster than he does. op tries not to care so much, they're in a war after all, but he is hurt sometimes when b spends a few days apart from him.

so even tho they dont spend every day together, everyone can clearly see how b defers to op and whenever they're on missions together, and how he tries to show off in front of him, spinning in the air or knocking out multiple decepticons in one hit. he is constantly asking him where to go and what to do, as close of a student-mentor relationship as a father-son one without anything being official

and then, op sends him to earth, even tho he doesnt really want to, even tho he wants b by his side, and b makes human friends and he learns about human culture, and he really likes human culture and he loves earth, and when he gets his new designation, well, op is the first person he tells.

SPECIFICALLY;

Why cant we laugh now like we did then? (Orion & D-16)

How come I see you in ache instead? (Optimus & Megatron)

Once Transformers : One comes out, I better see Orion & D-16 / Optimus & Megatron edits to Pork Soda by Glass Animals

I know damn well it's gonna fit so well

Trust

Finally "Code of Hero"

Man...

Okay

The girls are fiiighttttingggg

Just- Dinobot with a gun.

*giggles* *blushes* *twirls hair* he kinda... hehehehehehehe-

The fucking pre-humans man. They make me laugh. Dear god.

Man... Can't believe Dinobot's dead now. He lived a warrior and died a hero that's what.

Legit, he saved AND inspired humanity. How badass is that? Like he for real did that.

Gods speed Dinobot. I salute you 🫡🫡🫡🫡
