I Have No Idea What To Say Here

Ler:

-Typically very sweet and gentle, but he also has a very mischievous side!

-Kinda embarrassed about liking tickling, including liking tickling others. But he does like cheering them up and thinks it’s cute

-20% ler, 80% lee mostly because everyone on the team is stronger than him

-Tickles the others mostly to cheer them up, but on occasion it will be because they’ve bothered him enough that he wants to do something about it

-And as the team medic, he knows where everyone’s spots are. He may or may not have a ranking list

-His style is more gentle tickles, targeting melt spots. Even when he’s being rougher he tends to target melt spots to try and avoid being flung off

-Started exactly one tickle fight and lost horrendously. Doesn’t really regret it, but he tries to stay out of the way of tickle fights now. He usually gets dragged in anyway

-More than happy to chase his teammates! They might be faster, but he’s more maneuverable and can take shortcuts in the junkyard

-Can be provoked, but it’s rare. Does mean that his “victim” won’t see it coming when he attacks!

-Only uses soft teases when he’s trying to cheer someone up, like talking about how happy he is that they’re smiling again. When he’s feeling more mischievous, he’ll tease a lot more

-Doesn’t really use anticipation on purpose. Sometimes he’ll hem and haw over what spot to attack, which can be very flustering

-Very easily flustered even when he’s the attacker

-Doesn’t often laugh along with whoever he’s getting, but he does smile a lot

-If he’s a little annoyed with someone and is wrecking them due to that, he’ll try to sneak up on them and tickle them. Helps him have a fighting chance

-He’ll also try to casually get to one of their spots. Tell them to lean down so he can look at a smudge in their neck or audios or something like that

-Cannot wrestle any of the big bots to save his life. He’ll give it his best, though! And he could, in theory, manhandle the humans, but he doesn’t really want to (except for that one time he and Clay got on each other’s nerves)

-Loves using affectionate gestures like nuzzles and raspberries! They’re sometimes more effective than just his servos, and he just likes showing his teammates how much they mean to him

-Has been known to pick the humans up in tickle hugs

-Strong for someone of his size! It’s still relatively easy for the bigger bots to pry him off though

-Out of the bots, he most frequently gets Sideswipe and Strongarm. They’re young bots with a lot of pressure on them, so he likes trying to cheer them up. After that would probably be Grimlock, Bee, Windblade, and Drift equally because he tends to go after them less for a variety of reasons

-Out of the humans, he’s tickled Russell and Clay an equal-ish amount. He’s a little worried about hurting Russell, and he and Clay get along most of the time

-He’s might not be good at winning tickle fights, but he’s good at directing them! He’ll team up with Grimlock and they can win as a team. They make a frighteningly good one, with Grimlock able to hold people still and cover a lot of ground, and Fixit being able to target smaller, harder to reach spots

Lee:

-Tends to be very flustered and shy

-Thinks being tickled is very fun, and is a little worried his teammates will think that’s weird

-Frequently tickled to cheer him up or help him destress. Sometimes also tickled because wrecking him helps his teammates destress

-Mid to high ticklish. It’s pretty easy to destroy him

-Ticklish palms, shoulders, and chin. They’re all mild spots, but he’ll melt when tickled there

-Doesn’t really have any mid ticklish spots. They’re either mild, or high. No in between

-Horrendously ticklish neck, underarms, and torso. They’re all the most exposed parts of his frame, so they’e also very easy targets. Even the humans can make him shriek with those spots

-Tickling weakens him, but not too much. Most of his supposed weakness comes from him not wanting to fight back

-Will really only fight back if he knows it’ll be more fun for whoever is wrecking him

-Has a very squeaky, loud laugh. It’ll occasionally have a loud glitch, which he finds a little embarrassing, but his friends find it cute

-Not all that embarrassed about how much he squeaks and squeals. He does find it very flustering in the moment, though

-Almost never threatens, and if he does, it’s very playful and mostly for the purpose of him getting wrecked harder

-Same idea with talking back, although he’ll talk back a little more if he was irritated, started a tickle fight, and is now losing said tickle fight. He’s also usually laughing too hard to talk back, and his stammer gets 20x worse

-Rarely stands his ground, but when he does, it can actually be a little intimidating. He’s had to tell Grimlock that no, he’s not standing his ground because he doesn’t want to be tickled, it’s okay to continue

-When he runs, he tends to get a little giddy about it. He can navigate the scrapyard easier than him teammates, and will use that to his advantage. Will throw goofy little taunts over his shoulder

-Doesn’t really try to hold back from laughing. He’s too ticklish for it to really matter

-When caught off guard, his laughter may glitch for a good 5-10 seconds. It really freaked out Grimlock the first time he heard it, he was very worried he hurt Fixit

-Finds being wrestled with very fun so long as whoever is getting him is gentle

-Actually tries to provoke his teammates quite frequently. Little pokes while he’s fixing them, that kind of thing. He’s usually too nice for it to actually work

-Picked up very frequently to be tickled, so he doesn’t have much of a reaction to it

-Unfortunately for him, quite easy to overpower. He can do a great job of defending his torso from attacks though!

-Enjoys soft tickles. They’re just fun and affectionate, and don’t typically have him laughing so loud the entire scrapyard can hear him

-Enjoys rough tickles just as much! They’re playful and can be a great way to get rid of stress

-Comfort tickles are another favorite. He just thinks they’re sweet and likes the reminder that his team is looking out for him

-Very, very flustered when being wrecked. He’s almost more blue than orange

-Any and every tease works well on him, but compliments and praise will make him short circuit

-Affectionate gestures like raspberries, nuzzles, tickle hugs, etc. absolutely murder him. He’ll also gladly walk into any opportunity to get them

-Out of the bots, most frequently gotten by Sideswipe and Grimlock, because they’re the resident menaces. Strongarm and Bee would be next, by proximity and because both of them know he likes it. He’s been poked a few times by Drift and Windblade, and has actually had a couple of good tickle fights with Jetstorm and Slipstream

-If someone were to ask him if he’s ticklish, he would probably respond with “a little” and then side-eye them hopefully suspiciously

-Will playfully claim to be vengeful. He is very much not. He can be petty though

Ler:

-Very snarky and teasy. Will 100% be giving whoever he’s wrecking lip the whole time

-Thinks tickling others is super fun. He can get them to unwind or stop bugging him, or he can just initiate some playful roughhousing

-Despite this, he’s around 50% ler and 50% lee

-Tickles the others whenever the mood strikes him. Could be because he’s annoyed, wants something, or wants to cheer them up

-Generally pretty rough, but with lots of teasing and in general being kind of a goofball. He’s mostly just messing with his teammates

-Starter of tickle fights. He and Grimlock are tied for whoever starts them the most. Only wins about half the time

-Absolutely loves chases. Why? Because he’s the fastest on the team of course!

-Easily provoked into tickling others. He will always claim it’s because they’re annoying him, even when he’s trying to make them happy

-His brand of teasing is the annoying little brother type. Talking about how big they were talking earlier, forcing someone to admit to something (including making them admit they’re ticklish), tickling them until they agree to something, etc.

-Also loves using anticipation, especially on the bots who are especially susceptible to it. He’s made Fixit and Russell squeal with anticipation alone before. Tends to chase with wiggling fingers

-There is only one way he can be flustered when he’s the one doing the tickling, and that’s if whoever he’s wrecking points out that he’s trying to cheer them up. It does also mean they will get wrecked twice as hard

-Snickers whenever his “victim” makes a weird or squeaky noise. No he does not giggle, cool bots don’t giggle

-While he’s more likely to outright attack someone, he’ll also launch sneak attacks. They’re rather effective, he can move quicker and quieter than most bots expect

-Wrestling is super fun to him! He’s strong enough for it to be an actual challenge for most bots, which gives him the advantage if he decides to start tickling. Also he gets the physical affection he wants without having to ask for it

-Won’t use “sappy” gestures like ticklish hugs or kisses unless he feels absolutely 100% safe to do so. But he does nuzzle frequently and is quite good with raspberries

-Strong grip! Although on bigger bots, he’s more clinging than gripping. Either way, it’s really hard to get him off once he’s grabbed on

-Has wrecked everyone on the team at least once, but Strongarm is his most frequent victim simply by proximity. Grimlock and Bee would probably be his second most frequent victims. Likes picking up Fixit and destroying him. Tries to wreck Drift and Windblade semi-frequently, it never goes well for him

-Has also gotten Blurr! They’re buddies now, and that means having tickle fights all the time

-Out of the humans, he loves scooping up and tickling Russell. Gently, of course. Hasn’t really wrecked his dad, aside from some teasing pokes

-He and Grimlock make a formidable team. They get the whole scrapyard running away from them

Lee:

-Very, very flustered. He had a persona to keep up!

-Says that tickling is stupid, and will say so loudly. Only when he’s the one being wrecked of course. However, Strongarm has forced him to admit that he likes it

-Most frequently tickled as revenge, or because he’s been pulling one too many pranks. But his teammates will also tickle him to cheer him up

-A little bit more than moderately ticklish, which is way too ticklish in his opinion

-Mildly ticklish on his thighs and biolights. He’s had Russell and Clay poke curiously at them before and tried so hard not to squirm

-Pretty ticklish on his neck and back. Strongarm pokes him in the spine to make him stand up straight, and because it makes him squeak

-The exposed part of his torso and his underarms are absolute death spots. He’ll dissolve into a puddle of laughter over even a little scribbling

-Back of his neck/head and his audios are melt spots, one of those places where it tickles and feels relaxing at the same time

-Gets weakened when he’s tickled, which he will complain about. He can barely hold onto the other person’s hands to try and push them away

-Gives it his best to fight back. That doesn’t mean he’s successful in any way

-Has a loud, surprisingly squeaky laugh. Also snorts, especially when he’s trying to hold back laughter

-Squeaks and squeals a lot, which embarrasses him so much

-Tries to threaten more pranks, to get his attacker back, that kind of thing. Never learns his lesson that he just gets tickled more for it

-Usually too busy laughing to talk back while he’s being tickled, but you better believe he’ll be giving lip before and after

-Will typically stand his ground if he knows someone wants to wreck him, unless it’s Drift, Grimlock, or a particularly determined Strongarm

-When he does run though, he’s VERY fast. He’s also a dirty cheater and will throw over things behind him to block his chaser’s path

-Tries to hold back from laughing, cracks three seconds in

-If he’s caught off guard, his laughter will start out really high-pitched, almost a yelp that dissolves into squeaks

-Won’t admit it, but he likes wrestling that turns into tickling even when he’s losing. Sometimes he’ll even initiate wrestling matches with the sole purpose of instigating tickling and then losing

-Provokes half the team 24/7. Not even on purpose. It’s a shock he doesn’t get tickled more often than he already does

-Since very few bots can pick him up, it’s very flustering to him. He can barely struggle when someone scoops him up, let alone fight back or escape. Grimlock finds it very funny

-Because of how weak he gets once he’s being wrecked, he can be easy to overpower. But he has to be actively being tickled or teased, or else he’ll use his speed and strength to try and turn the tables

-Soft tickles kill him, mostly because they make him giggle uncontrollably, and he finds it embarrassing. It’s also embarrassing to him that the soft, gentle version of tickling still weakens him

-Rough tickles are a little more up his alley, because the way he sees it, he can still act tough. Sort of. Like sure, he’s ticklish, but so is Bumblebee and Grimlock. They’d laugh at this too

-Comfort tickles are very effective. He won’t thank whoever wrecked him, but he’ll usually be a little more affectionate with them afterwards

-So unbelievably flustered when he’s getting wrecked. He gets progressively more blue

-Pretty much any teases work, so it depends on what reaction you’re looking for. Compliments are the only thing that don’t really work, but they do make him visibly enjoy the tickling more

-All affection works on him as well. He falls for Grimlock’s infamous tickle hugs every time just because they’re nice. Raspberries send him into orbit

-Everyone on the team has gotten him at least once. Strongarm most frequently because of proximity, but also because she’s always trying to find another way for him to listen to her. Grimlock would be second, because they’re always roughhousing. Bee mostly wrecks him to cheer him up, but sometimes to make him calm down as well

-He has gotten gently prodded in the side by Jazz and has never recovered. Rip Sideswipe. Same with any ticklish attention he’s received from Windblade

-Out of the humans, he’s let Russell tickle him a few times. Clay helped

-Will not admit he’s ticklish unless actively being wrecked into saying it. If someone asks him if he’s ticklish, his answer is basically “no 😎”

-Very vengeful, although not patient. If he doesn’t get whoever wrecked him back within the day, he’ll probably forget about it unless it was a particularly memorable wrecking

Black Pearl Cookie:

Ler:

-The most evil, terrifying ler you’ve ever seen. She is completely merciless. Although once upon a time, she was a lot more mischievous and goofy

-Her opinion on tickling others changes with the tides. Sometimes it’s an effective technique to get people to leave her territory, sometimes an effective punishment, sometimes it’s some annoying thing people to for connection, ugh how irritating! But she’ll use it to curb her more violent tendencies, if she feels like it. She’ll never admit that deep down, it still makes her feel connected to the family she used to have

-90% ler, 10% lee (used to be the other way around)

-Mostly tickles out of boredom or to cause chaos, and don’t ever suggest it’s out of a lonely desire for company because that’s totally not true and she’ll smack you into the horizon with her tail for telling such lies!

-Has a pretty rough, ruthless style, with a touch of teasing. Actually a lot of teasing

-No one is really around for her to get into tickle fights with, but the crew of the Salty Shark have sworn they’ve seen eyes in the water when one of them was getting wrecked to pieces

-Chases are her favorite game. After all, she always wins! She’s frighteningly fast and can see better in the water than even most mermaids, but sometimes she’ll let whichever poor soul who wandered into her domain hide and think that they’re safe

-Easily provoked, but at your own hazard. She has to be in a very specific mood and provoked in a very specific way to tickle instead of. Y’know. Murder

-Her teases tend to lean towards the condescending side. She’ll ask if it’s too much and then make fun of whoever she’s wrecking for their answer, no matter what it is. She also uses a lot of somewhat insulting pet names, like plaything

-You will be called a snack. As in literal food. I don’t make the rules

-Her use of anticipation (hunting) typically stops once she’s actually caught the cookie. She wants to dig in right away, find all of the spots that make them shriek

-There is only one (1) way she can be flustered when she’s tickling someone, and that’s if they’re openly enjoying it. It reminds her of a gentle cookie who she once cared very much about, and might just soften her heart enough for her to let whoever she’s tickling go free afterwards

-Snickers along with her victim, particularly if they make a funny noise. And if they do, oh, they’re never gonna hear the end of it

-Tends to do a lot of sneak attacks! She likes making people shriek, as she is unfairly stealthy for someone of her size

-Not many people have the strength to wrestle with her, but she’d be happy to try it. Mostly cookies have to contend with her hands, and she finds that incredibly amusing

-Doesn’t use affectionate gestures, aside from the occasional teasing nuzzle, ever. Those are saved for people special to her, that she would never admit that she still misses

-Her grip is impossible to escape, seeing as she’s the size of a ship

-Doesn’t have many people she tickles these days. Captain Caviar might be one, since he’s one of the only sailors who dares to enter her waters. She thinks fondly of tickling her sisters and Frilled Jellyfish, though

Lee:

-A rather shrieky, angry lee. It’s almost as cute as it is terrifying. Has always had a tendency to pretend to be angry when she’s being tickled, she’s just gotten significantly more convincing then when she was younger

-Thinks being tickled is a very embarrassing way to be defeated. But privately, it felt good to laugh like that for the first time in ages…

-Typically tickled out of desperation, or if you’re cocky enough (looking at you, Caviar) to gain passage through her territory

-Embarrassingly ticklish for someone of her reputation. Even tiny cookie hands can make her laugh in the right places

-Her shoulders, neck, and ear fins all make her giggle wildly, but she’ll also melt. The only places she can be tickled without protesting loudly

-Her sides, stomach, and the top of her tail are medium spots, where she can range anywhere from giggles to shrieks depending on how light or rough she’s being wrecked

-Underarms and back are her absolute weakness. She can’t stand even being brushed there. Easy places to get her cackling

-Unfortunately, tickling does not weaken her. If anything, it makes her stronger. Just less coordinated

-Fights back with the might of the sea. Whoever is attacking her must be prepared to either move fast, or get whacked

-Has a wide variety of laughs, anything from shrieky squeals to deep, melodious belly laughs

-Squeaks, squeals, and snorts a lot. It’s a characteristic from her younger years that she hasn’t been able to kick, to her frustration

-Threatens anything from drowning to flooding all of Earthbread. Caviar likes to tease that he didn’t know he was tickling the progenitor of the end times

-Talks back as well, another habit from her younger days. Apparently she still hasn’t learned that it only gets her wrecked twice as hard

-Stands her ground when someone threatens to tickle her, because 80% of the time it fails. It’s the closest to a tickle fight she gets nowadays

-Only ever turns tail and runs when she knows she’s cooked. Which is pretty much never, so it’s very rare

-Tries her absolute best to hide it and then cracks in five seconds. She cannot hide it to save her life, too ticklish for that

-If she’s caught off guard, she’ll shriek and drop whatever she’s holding. Catching her off guard gives whoever did it the upper hand, and is one of the safest ways to wreck her

-Trying to wrestle her down almost always results in her turning the tables. Don’t do it

-Her idea of provoking could provoke either tickles or harpoons. Either way, she’s going to have a fun hunt. Caviar will have a field day if he ever finds out, though

-Cannot be picked up anymore ):. When she was littler and younger though, her sisters used to do it all the time. She loved it, and would start giggling happily before they even started

-Incredibly tough to overpower. She’s big, strong, and not afraid to resort to violence

-Soft tickles fluster her to no end. She’s a giant, terrifying sea monster! What’s the gentleness for!! You should be afraid!! Needless to say, it makes her squeal and sometimes even blush. She’s still struggling just as hard as ever, what do you mean “do you like this?”

-Rough tickles are more what she’s used to (these days. She used to get a lot more soft tickles). They still make her shriek, though. Additionally, rough tickles from cookies are more effective, since they’re so tiny compared to her

-Doesn’t receive comfort tickles anymore :(. Frilled Jellyfish and her sisters would tickle her to cheer her up all the time. She misses it

-Gets very flustered when being wrecked, especially when she giggles like she’s a young mermaid again. Tries to make up for it with threats of violence

-Pretty much all teases work, but she’ll die if someone calls her cute. Or points out that she’s really ticklish for a scary sea monster

-Affection works really well on her, and puts her in a good enough mood that she might let a ship by. Raspberries are the death of her. She used to really enjoy ticklish kisses as well, but she doesn’t get them anymore

-Most frequently gotten by Captain Caviar, because he’s insane like that. When she was younger though, Frilled Jellyfish and Crimson Coral used to wreck her the most, followed by the rest of her sisters

-Will not admit to being ticklish (unless she’s tickled into it). If someone were to ask her if she’s ticklish, she would get a smidge offended and try to destroy them (with tickles or literally just trying to obliterate them)

-Insanely, wildly vengeful. She has pulled up in the Créme Republic’s bay just to get back at Caviar before

Frilled Jellyfish:

Ler:

-Very soft and gentle ler, dare I say whimsical

-Thinks tickling is a fun, soft activity. It doesn’t often occur to her to do it, though

-70% lee, 30% ler

-Typically only tickles White Pearl Cookie, and occasionally gives her jellyfish a scratch on the head (?don’t know jellyfish anatomy)

-Mainly tickles White Pearl to cheer her up, but also to gently incentivize her to get up in the morning and things like that

-Her style is very soft and gentle. She’s determined to be soothing

-Has participated in tickle fights with White Pearl and her sisters! And lost immediately, but she had fun. She doesn’t start tickle fights on purpose, nor does she win them, but she’ll definitely jump in if she feels like it!

-Doesn’t really chase, unless White Pearl specifically requests it. She wants it to be relaxing!

-Cannot be provoked, her patience is as endless as the sea. But if her lady asks, of course she’ll tickle her!

-Also does not tease on purpose. However, her endless compliments, rambling about news in the ocean, and constant checking to make sure Pearl is still having fun is very flustering to Pearl. Same with the fact that she so openly enjoys being on both ends of tickling, and will rather innocently call Pearl out on enjoying it too

-Not really one for anticipation. If she’s going to tickle someone, she’s just gonna go for it

-Whether she gets flustered while tickling White Pearl is hard to tell! She’s very calm and doesn’t really show it outwardly, but occasionally Pearl can get her to stop without asking simply by expressing her happiness

-Giggles softly along sometimes. Most of the time she’s too busy making gentle conversation though

-Most of her attacks are sneaky, but without the intention of being a sneak attack. She’ll more just decide to tickle without warning

-Doesn’t wrestle. If someone wrestles with her, she’ll assume they want her to stop and do so

-Quite fond of ticklish hugs and nuzzles, but that’s really the only affection she’ll use. She uses it frequently though!

-Her grip is easy to break, as she never wants whoever she’s getting to feel trapped. But her tickles are so comforting that they usually don’t even try

-Really the only person she tickles is White Pearl Cookie (and maybe later on Black Pearl Cookie). And, as mentioned before, her jellyfish if possible

-Has teamed up with all of White Pearl’s sisters against her before, and helps Crimson Coral the most frequently

Lee:

-A very soft, bubbly lee

-Thinks being tickled is fun, and it makes her feel closer to her lady

-Typically tickled as revenge, lmao. But also if Pearl sees that she’s feeling down, or received a bad piece of news

-Surprisingly not super ticklish. Less ticklish than average, but still enough to get very giggly

-Mildly ticklish on her shoulders, but really only smiles when tickled there

-Moderately ticklish on her torso. She’ll giggle a little bit if someone pokes her sides

-Most ticklish under her chin and on her neck. Those spots can occasionally gets full laughs, but only if she’s taken by surprise

-Tends to melt when being tickled, which can count as being weakened by it

-Never fights back. If anything, she’ll lean into it!

-Has a very breathy, high-pitched laugh. It also has an almost musical quality to it

-Squeaks and squeals if she’s caught off guard. White Pearl Cookie has gotten her to snort exactly once, and has been trying to get her to do it again ever since

-Doesn’t threaten or talk back. The only time she’ll protest is if they’re going to be late for something. If she wants it to stop, she’ll ask and gently push hands away

-Tends to stand her ground because running doesn’t even occur to her. It’s fun for all parties involved, why would she try to leave?

-If White Pearl tells her to run though, she’ll run. And she’s fast, too!

-Laughs openly, and doesn’t try to hide it. Unless Pearl is poking her while they’re talking to Crimson Coral, and then she gets scarily good at hiding it

-If caught off guard, she might squeak loudly and flail a little, before relaxing into it

-Pearl has tried to wrestle her down before, but it’s hard to wrestle someone when they kinda just go limp and look at you expectantly. It always turns into more of a cuddle than a wrestle

-Doesn’t provoke White Pearl on purpose, although White Pearl would disagree. She claims tickling her is provocation

-Being picked up works a little bit differently under the sea, but has more of the same effects. Frilled Jellyfish Cookie kinda just goes limp, although then she needs to be secured as to not float away

-Easy to overpower since she doesn’t fight back. In a tickle fight, she’s a little harder to overpower because she’s fast and not afraid to run right into someone’s arms only to tickle them

-Likes soft tickles a lot. They’re relaxing, and really more of a massage to her than actually ticklish

-Kinda meh on rough tickles. They make her laugh more, which is nice, but she prefers soft tickles

-Comfort tickles are her favorite. She just likes to cuddle up with whoever is wrecking her

-Gets flustered, kind of. If she’s being gotten good enough she’ll curl up and hide her face, but mostly she enjoys it enough to not get flustered

-The only teases that make her blush are compliments, whether that be on her laugh or her work. She enjoys all teases though, most of them just don’t fluster her

-Affection works on her really well. Despite not giving things like raspberries, she doesn’t mind them. She will get cuddly, though

-Most frequently gotten by White Pearl Cookie (and maybe Black Pearl), but Pearl’s sisters have gotten her once or twice in their family tickle fights as well

-If someone asks her if she’s ticklish, she will happily admit that she is, a little bit. Almost never expects them to try it afterwards

-Not vengeful at all. Her tickling is based on if someone needs to be cheered up

Ler:

-The most smug ler you will ever meet. Sometimes even while giving comfort tickles

-Thinks tickling others is hilarious. And also fun, but he doesn’t really want to admit that unless it would make them squeak

-Probably around 70% ler, 30% lee

-Mostly tickles other people either to get on their nerves or get something from them. But he also frequently tickles as revenge. And he doesn’t mind giving his siblings a pick-me-up every once in a while

-Typically an interesting mix of rough and gentle. Being the oldest Burns, he knows exactly how to dig into someone’s ribs really hard without hurting them. It just really tickles. He also knows exactly when to stop and will, but not until the last second

-Starter of tickle fights. Might just be the tickle monster of the family, but he’s competing for that title. He’ll also typically join right in without even considering who might be participating (Heatwave will beeline straight for him if they’re both involved. No this does not make Kade think twice)

-Pretty used to chasing his siblings all over the place, and also thinks it’s funny. Additionally, his work requires being able to move quickly through obstacles (same with his family, but he does just a little more) so he’s very hard to escape

-Very easily provoked. Ate some of his food? Tickled. Accidentally woke him up from a nap? Tickled. Looking at him funny? Tickled. And if he ever figures out someone is provoking him into tickling them on purpose, they will never hear the end of it

-Definitely the cocky type when it comes to teasing. Especially if he’s getting one of the bots, he’s going to tease about how big they were being earlier and now look at them. But if it’s someone smaller than him, like Cody, he’ll tease him about that too. He’ll also tease about how easy it is to get squeaks and squeals, how ticklish you are, etc.

-Uses some anticipation, but typically he’s too impatient. He’ll chase with wiggling fingers, though, and has played tickling games with his siblings. Cody has had him go to raspberry him, pretend he has to sneeze, and then absolutely obliterate him when he wasn’t expecting it

-Simply cannot be flustered when tickling someone else. He’s the king of the hill right now, why would he be embarrassed?

-Laughs along with whoever he’s wrecking. Whether that be a snicker or a genuine laugh depends on why he’s tickling them

-Not really one for sneak attacks, unless scooping up your sibling and destroying them because they looked a little down for no reason counts

-Wrestles down his siblings all the time, except Graham. Graham he will chase, or just lightly grab

-If his dad is the king of affectionate gestures, then he’s the prince. Typically uses raspberries as a finishing blow, but often opens his attacks by burying his face in someone’s neck or belly and growling and shaking his head

-Also likes to use ticklish hugs, just to flex his height and strength

-Has a very strong grip, but he’ll loosen it for people like Graham who don’t like feeling trapped

-Out of his family, he gets everyone except his dad evenly. Cody is an easy target, Dani gets on his nerves, and Graham is also an easy target who needs to rest more often. He will go after his dad, though. He’s actually pretty close with Doc Greene, and Ezra used to tickle him when he babysat him. He’s returned the favor a few times, and also passed on the tradition with Frankie

-With the bots, he gets Heatwave the most, both out of proximity and because they drive each other crazy. He’s probably gotten the other bots the second most out of the humans, right behind Cody. Blades, Boulder, and Chase are all fun to wreck in their own ways. He’s really only gotten Blurr and maybe Salvage out of the new bots.

-Once he wondered aloud if Optimus was ticklish and Heatwave immediately threatened to dunk him in the nearest lake

-Teams up with Heatwave almost as much as he fights with him. They make a terrifying duo. However, he’s also teamed up with Boulder before. And Blurr

Lee:

-Canonically ticklish (if I’m remembering correctly)

-Can either be a squeaky, flustered, and slightly offended lee, or an insufferably smug one

-Thinks being tickled is kinda embarrassing. And fun, because it’s only human, but that information can only be discovered if it’s tickled out of him

-Most frequently tickled for being cocky and/or kind of an ass. And also for bothering his siblings or the bots

-Slightly more ticklish than Dani, which he insists is not true

-Has a slightly ticklish back, but nothing that would do more than make him flinch a little

-Thighs, sides, and underarms can make him laugh pretty hard, but don’t drive him nuts

-That’s saved for his belly, ribs, and hips. Those make him lose his mind

-Has a surprisingly ticklish neck, and slightly ticklish ears, but they’re melt spots

-Weakens slightly when tickled. He can still struggle and fight back, just not as strong. He keeps trying to figure out how to get past it without getting wrecked on a daily basis, and has so far been unsuccessful

-Fights back, but playfully. He’s never hurt anyone by accident, but he will try to tickle whoever’s wrecking him. And if he manages to turn the tables, you bet he won’t shut up about it

-Tends to snicker, when he’s not being gotten too badly. But when he’s being absolutely destroyed, he has a higher pitched laugh and a tendency to shriek and wheeze

-Squeaks and squeals a lot more than he’d like to. He also snorts a lot

-Threatens playfully, typically swearing revenge. He’ll even threaten after the fact, knowing it’ll get him wrecked twice as hard.

-Physically incapable of not talking back. He’s gotta defend his reputation somehow

-Stands his ground more often than not, especially when it comes to the human side of his family

-But he also knows when it’s time to nope out. And he’s a fast runner, too

-Tries to hide it, and can for about thirty seconds assuming it hasn’t gotten too bad. But if someone is getting his stomach, he cracks in three seconds

-If caught off guard, he might squeal loudly. But that also means he’ll spin around and try and get the upper hand

-Thinks being wrestled down is fun. Normally it’s because he wins, as he outclasses his siblings in size (not his dad though)

-Provokes his siblings all the time. Whether that be unintentionally, by being annoying, or intentionally, like annoying them and then being like “what are you gonna do? Tickle me?”

-Doesn’t really know what to do when he gets picked up, mostly because the last time he was picked up was when he was a kid. Needless to say, very easy to destroy from that point on

-Very hard to overpower (for humans at least). He’s bigger and stronger than most people, and he will play dirty to win with his siblings

-Soft tickles obliterate him. He can barely talk back because he’s too busy giggling. One of the only types of tickling that fluster him right off the bat. He associates them with his dad

-Likes rough tickles. They’re competitive, and he’s usually wiped by the end (and relaxed). Being on either side of rough tickles is actually kinda ideal for him when he’s been mad, because he can get some anger out without hurting anyone. He also really likes roughhousing with Heatwave, but don’t tell anyone

-Loves comfort tickles, but doesn’t want to admit it. They’re not his number one idea of comfort, but he definitely appreciates them

-Flusters somewhat easily when being tickled, although he tries to pretend it’s anger (badly). He also turns completely red, like up his ears, down his neck and back red

-Most teases work, but things like praise (usually from his dad) and even teasing insults (from Dani and Heatwave) can make him shriek. Heatwave’s brand of smug (ironically, pretty similar to his) kills him

-Affectionate gestures like nuzzles and raspberries absolutely destroy him. Heatwave nuzzled his torso once and got him to give up in five seconds. One of the only things that stops his cockiness right in it’s tracks

-Out of his family, Dani and Cody get him the most, followed by Charlie, and then Graham. As mentioned above, he’s been gotten by Doc Greene a few times, same with Frankie

-And with the bots, Heatwave gets him the most by a long shot. Blades and Boulder have gotten him second most, and Chase is in third. He’s also been ribbed (literally) by Blurr and Salvage a couple times, and he could swear High Tide nudged him once but he’s not sure

-If someone were to ask him if he was ticklish, he would say no with enough confidence to maybe make them believe him. He would also immediately follow it up by asking “are you?” with evil intent behind it

-Can be forced to admit he’s ticklish, but only through being tickled

-Very vengeful, but not patient. He’ll forget about it in a week if he hasn’t gotten his revenge

Ler:

-Good mixture between a ruthless and goofy ler. She’s also learned to be a lot more gentle after becoming friends with Blades

-Thinks tickling other people is both fun and hilarious. Personally, she thinks that tickling can help you see a more natural side to people that they usually hide - assuming they like being tickled, of course

-About 70% ler, 30% lee. She can and will go toe to toe with Kade, her dad, and even Heatwave

-There’s almost no one reason why she’ll tickle someone. Maybe she’s annoyed, maybe they stole something, maybe she just wants to cheer them up.

-She generally plays pretty rough, and she’ll also take advantage of someone not being able to escape. But she can be pretty goofy when she’s tickling people as well. Somehow teasy and cheesy go together really well

-Absolute queen of tickle fights. She doesn’t start them too often, but she will absolutely jump in and finish them

-She’s also lightning fast, and will chase people all of the house. She’s even chased Blades around before (he thought it was great)

-Easily provoked into tickling people, especially her siblings. She’ll even claim they provoked her by being sad, and now it’s her duty to cheer them up

-Teases with puns like her dad does. But she also does a lot of teasing in the same realm as “what’s so funny,” and telling people they’re cute. She has some no nonsense teasing too, like “what did you think was going to happen?? You stole my yogurt, I was looking forward to that!”

-Also the type to poke her siblings in the ribs when they’re supposed to be being serious, like during a meeting with the mayor or something

-Uses silly nicknames too. Sometimes she’ll call Blades “swivel-rotors”

-Uses anticipation quite a bit, usually because it makes people squirm so much. Does a lot of wiggling fingers, changing spots abruptly, etc. She’ll also chase her siblings (or the bots) around the house being like “I’m gonna getcha” in a gremlin sounding voice

-Cannot be flustered while tickling someone. If someone points out that she thinks it’s fun, she’s like “yeah, isn’t it supposed to be??”

-Laughs along with whoever she’s wrecking, but it’s more of a snicker. An affectionate one, not a mean one

-Prefers outright attacking someone, but she’ll definitely sneak attack people. Especially for revenge

-Loves wrestling people down, but only if they’re okay with it too. She and Kade get into brawls all the time. Also, she’ll just flop onto Blades’ belly, hold on for dear life, and start wrecking him. It’s harder to hold onto a Cybertronian than it looks

-Also loves using affectionate gestures like raspberries and nuzzles on people she’s close to. Cody can’t count the amount of time she’s scooped him up in a hug and just started tickling him

-Has a very strong grip, and it’s only gotten stronger now that she’s met Blades. There is simply no escaping her once she’s got you

-Out of her family, she typically gets Cody and Kade the most. Cody because he’s her adorable baby brother, Kade because he gets on her nerves all the time. She’s a little more chill with Graham, but he’s also her baby brother, so she gets him the most next. She doesn’t attack her dad very often because he’s hard to beat, but she did used to have small tickle fights with Doc Greene when she was little. She’s also tickled Frankie a few times, but not as much as Frankie has gotten older

-Out of the bots, she definitely gets Blades the most. He’s just fun to wreck. Second place, funnily enough, goes to Blurr. Third place would be Heatwave, Boulder, and Chase, who are all fun to wreck but formidable. Once she and Blades are stationed outside of Griffin Rock, she’s instigated a tickle fight or two between herself, Blades, Quickshadow, and High Tide (Quickshadow won)

-Teams up with Blades against other people. Has also been known to gang up on Kade with Heatwave, and help Boulder make Graham relax

Lee:

-Pretty squeaky, and whether she’s fighting back, being smug, or curling into a giggling ball entirely depends on who’s tickling her and why

-She’s not too embarrassed by being ticklish, unless it’s during something important. She finds it super fun among trusted people

-Less ticklish than Kade (which he hates), but more ticklish than Graham. So all in all, pretty moderately ticklish.

-Has a mildly ticklish back and neck. Those spots can make her flinch and giggle

-Decently ticklish around the thighs, knees, and underarms. Getting those spots can result in laughter, but she also starts getting squirmy

-Like the rest of her family, her belly is a major weak spot. So are her sides

-Her ears and the back of her neck are slightly ticklish, but they’re melt spots

-Weakens but only if someone is getting her really good, or if she’s super flustered. She also won’t fight back against comfort tickles

-Otherwise she is kicking, trying to roll away, trying to catch hands, the whole nine yards. The only person she tries really hard not to struggle with is Cody, because she’d feel horrible if she kicked him by accident

-Has either a high-pitched squeaky laugh, or snorts and shrieks. There is no in-between. She’s kinda proud of both

-Squeaks and snorts a lot. She also wheezes sometimes. The only sound she’s kinda embarrassed about is squealing, and even then only kinda

-Definitely threatens if she’s being wrecked as revenge or because she got on someone’s nerves. She will swear revenge for as long as she can

-Talks back all the time, especially to her family and the bots. 100% the type to be like “seriously? That’s the best you’ve got?” and then regret it ten seconds later

-Typically stands her ground. She and Kade have had so many standoffs

-Will really only run if it makes things more fun for her or whoever’s getting her, or if it’s her dad

-Dani can actually hide that she’s ticklish pretty well! It doesn’t work on her family because they know how to crack her, but it took Blades almost a full minute to make her laugh the first time he tried tickling her

-If she’s caught off guard, she might shriek pretty loudly. She also instinctively whacks at Kade’s head level, which is great news for anyone who’s shorter than Kade

-Thinks being wrestled down is fun. In general, she likes the roughhousing aspect of tickling

-Oh she provokes her siblings all the time. It’s her duty as one of the middle children

-She’s actually quite good at either escaping or launching a counterattack if someone picks her up, first thanks to Kade and then thanks to Blades

-Hard to overpower. She’s fast, strong, and ready to fight back

-Enjoys soft tickles. They’re relaxing and not too overwhelming, and it’s easy to tell the other person when she’s had enough. They can be a little embarrassing though

-Enjoys rough tickles just as much. She likes roughhousing, and also the mischievousness of it. Plus, it can also be relaxing, even if it’s in a more exhausting way

-Comfort tickles are really nice to her. Really the only person she’d ever ask for them is her dad or Blades, because she knows they probably won’t tease her about it. It makes her feel closer to people

-Surprisingly hard to fluster while being wrecked, or at least to fluster enough to curl up. But if she’s squealing, it’s pretty easy

-Most teases work. Teasing her about having a squeaky laugh will make her flush, but she’ll also try to kick whoever’s wrecking her for that. It’s somewhat similar with telling her she’s cute. Blades told her she was a really good pilot once and she about died

-Affectionate gestures like raspberries and ticklish kisses absolutely kill her. But she likes them, so she never really protests

-Out of her family, Kade probably gets her most because he’s just like that. Probably followed by her dad and Cody. She and Graham are pretty chill but Graham has gotten her too. Doc Greene has tickled her a few times when she was younger, and Frankie has teamed up with Cody to get her before

-With the bots, Blades gets her the most. Followed by Heatwave, although they team up more than they attack each other. Following that would probably be Boulder, Chase, and Blurr. And of course, she’s been gotten once or twice by Salvage, Quickshadow, and High Tide

-If someone asked her if she was ticklish, she would probably say yes and be visibly prepared to fend them off

-Very vengeful, for like a week. After that she lets it go, unless it really got on her nerves
