Curate, connect, and discover
HEEEYYYY, same anon from the “how big the mcb is, is how important they are” ask and I have another idea based on the recent ask from the other anon.
The beginning of S2 happens in TFP, Blue Cop after a bit finds him beginning to drift back into his hole of insecurities and issues that he tried to work on with Optimus. He just lost his crew and feels like he had failed them again. He sulks on his own while S2 events happens, tucked away in a corner of the expanded base because they had to due to the fact that Edo’s workshop was wayyy too open and they don’t want to risk more humans seeing them other than Mowtown.
Optimus, on the other hand notices this. He tries to make the small talk sessions come back, letting the other bot try to spill his emotions again. But the small talk sessions began to lessen throughout time, since team prime has their war and the MCBs have Flame Nova’s shenanigans. With the main metal breath lost and the fact that there were a whole lotta more of them in mowtown than expected…. Also the fact they keep revealing themselves to the humans, Agent Fowler considering on quitting helping them (he wouldn’t)
Since this is S2 of mcb, why not have S2 of TFP happen at the same time? Blue Cop is deprived of the small talk sessions he had gotten from Optimus who’s now Orion Pax and he really can’t lead another team of bots, he feels too guilty to do it because he just lost his other team— he couldn’t even grasp an inch of the brace. So he just asks Jun to seal him in the brace for now, for personal reasons. The ending would practically kill Blue cause he just lost his own mentor figure, or so he thinks he does.
I wonder how’d they react to Flash Vector’s daggers…would it even work on them—
(I love how much angst you could smack into Blue Cop, this bad boy could fit gallons of that into him)
MCB x TFP crossover
*Slaps Blue Cop* This bad boy can fit so much angst in him.
But yessss! Blue Cop losing his family would hurt him a lot, he failed them, he let them be thrown away to somewhere he can't find them or get to at the moment. He feels as bad as he was when he first came to Earth, even worse because he was there, he could have stopped Red Blitz but he didn't. There wasn't any way he could stop the destruction of Machina, but he could have saved his friends.
Optimus would try to help his adopted son, but things in the war have been ramping up. He focused on the fact Unicron is the Earth and how if he were to wake Earth would be destroyed. And he still has to focus on the cons as well, his hands are full at the current moment and as much as he wants to help Blue Cop he doesn't have the time to help him.
Optimus promises Blue Cop that once everything is over they'll have a talk, that talk never comes due to Optimus becoming Orion Pax.
Bee would be the one to tell Blue Cop about what happened, and Blue Cop would be devastated, his mentor, his dad, is now in the hands of cons, working against them, and he doesn't even remember him.
He is stressed to hell, he really just wants things to go back to the way it was. When he could just have been around his family and could talk to Optimus about his worries. All of that is gone and he doesn't know if he can get that back.
When he asks Jun to seal him in the Metal Breath for the time being, Jun tries to protest, the s2 bots try to convince him otherwise. The only one Blue Cop really listens to is Jun, the s2 bots just don't fill the hole in his spark(?). In the end Jun agrees to seal him in the Metal Breath for the time being, but not for a long time. Blue Cop relents and when he's in the Metal Breath he finally breaks down, crying to himself.
Also Flash Vector's daggers should work on the Autobots, we've seen them get hurt by electricity before. I'm not sure if it would paralyzed or just shocked them
