He’ll protest saying he wasn’t worthy at all, never on darkmount, never now.

Everyone would be in shock, except one: Bumblebee due to his prior knowledge from him.

They would protest with him too, many of their agreements would involve being “too young”, “not being ready” or “needing more time”. but non of them would take complain on smokescreen being the next prime.

Smokescreen is a good bot, a loyal bot, a growing bot.

unfortunately, they can’t talk “Primus’s will” and Smokescreen would be giving the matrix, or would be a ceremony similar to Bee without it.

he becomes and maybe before Optimus goes and sacrifices himself, he’ll hug the young bot.

First thing he would do is rebuild the hall of records, or maybe make a statue in Optimus’s image.

the team would do their own thing of course, but would never leave him. either for guilty, rectifying their treatment towards him… or maybe because they want to, since he’s doing a good job being a prime.

Maybe he names himself Smoktimus prime, or he doesn’t name himself different at all.

Maybe Ratchet would stay, helping Smokescreen as his personal medic.

Maybe Arcee becomes a bodyguard for him, they do make a nice fighting duo.

Maybe the wreckers would retire, and only help with building stuff.

maybe bee would get homesick for his base on earth and constantly pull his brother figure to go visit it consistently.

maybe he doesn’t trust knockout out at all, And he becomes too passive aggressive that everyone notices.

Maybe Smokescreen would force a smile too much, and force himself to work a lot. he’ll brush off any other activities as “not important” or “prime duties or nothing”.

maybe he would make too many mistakes and Ultra mangus and Ratchet would confront him, but gently. They have first hand experiences with a new prime, and they see him as a son(or in Ultra’s case, nephew)
