damn, if no one writes, then I will write (and I do not know where it is better for you to write here or your art blog.. i guess..?) for rodimus and mininus/ultra magnus, megatron is pretty close. this can be seen in their interactions, and especially in the last chapters of idw, where um/min first says that he will take off his armor, and at the very end rodimus almost suggests megatron to escape with him from prison. for these two, megatron is very important. although I do not know in any particular time interval there is an invasion of sparklings, but!! Would these two parents want to greet their child with their rather close friend (I think)?? will the child himself be able to love megatron and consider him a close relative of the family?

JGKSJDKFS HELLO AGAIN u dont have to but also im so flattered gjskdjfksd and ty for the funny cat you have so many funky lil animal images
I dont mind wherever you send your asks or things!! i will see them either way! But if you want to you can send them straight to @chickennuggetlugget since i will be keeping all the baby info over there anyway
Okay so like no offence but im gonna be so honest im just not really a megatron guy HAHA but since you asked!! I havent super settled on a time frame for when all this happens, i dont know if i ever will, but to me it makes the most sense for it to take place post canon in the new dimension/universe? So its a slight variation of that post canon except rung is alive cos i want him to be here jgksjds. But but nothing is really solidly set in stone so this can change whenever i guess
But so yea!! canonically roddy and mims would be still very close to megs. But, especially at the beggning, minimus is very protective of the sparkling. He tries to keep baby care duty between him and rodimus only, not trusting anyone else to do the job right. Its not out of any kind of malice or distrust but hes just so worried that the baby will be Not Safe that hes like. I gotta do this myself. So Nitrous ends up being socialised really late. Hes kinda scared of most other bots for quite a while simply cos hes never really met anyone outside of his creators except for short periods or when hes with his creators also
Megatron would be one of the first to see the baby tho i feel. Purely by virtue of the fact that mims/mags is walking around with the baby with him half the time, and he sees megs a lot both for work and when he's off work meeting megatron for writing and stuff yknow. Chicken nugget would be nervous at first (large! new! grey!! unfamiliar colour!!) and kinda curls up into mims in his baby carrier thing. But he will get used to it soon!
In terms of babysitters, once rodimus finally manages to assure minimus that the others can be responsible too and like they can leave the baby with someone else cos like gawsh they are dying they are so tired, the job is only extended to their most trusted friends at first. And i think the go to for rodimus is drift, and for minimus its megatron. This later gets extended to a slightly larger group like to ratchet and swerve and others
So yea like idk what the cybertronian equivalent would be but nitrous grows up with uncle drift and uncle megs being like part of his upbringing also hehe
