whats his malfunction?

wanted to draw a toxic starscream yuri also but not today

i kept having the thought of bee ripping out his own voice bits in a teeny tiny little breakdown he has once he's free of the decepticons. he's not thinking all too clearly in this moment, and his basic thought process is to rip out his vocalizer so that nobody back home will hear him speaking destron. in the scenario that the decepticons have already uninstalled neocybex, this in a way makes him both deaf and unable to speak, since he cant understand neocybex anymore

im of the oppinion that its imposisble to design ratchet wrong he just looks good in every show cyberverse designs jsut. are so good to me. they have crotch lights an everythign

i thought of several scenarios like this and i bet it freaks him out as much as it does his team. i LOVE the idea of him coming back and realising too late that... oh no wait... they think im a 'con...... it REALLY DOESNT HELP HE CANT TELL THEM HE'S NOT im not sure HOW much of his frame will change over the course of the story, but it will! the only thing i dont think he'll get is the red optics for plot reasons. otherwise i like to think he ends up looking pretty decepticon'y near the end of the story. bee's not too keen about all that and its gonna give him some doubt later down the line on if its really worth it to escape or not

i cant believe shockwave gave him arthritis :(
