Yeah I was thinking that as I wrote it too lolSpeaking of, I think that AA-00 showing up would also force Strongarm to more publicly address her Decepticon heritage. I mean.. Grimlock is on their team and in this show he’s a former Decepticon, so it’s not like it would be a game-changer or anything, but I could see Sideswipe giving her a hard time about it, or just like, teasing and being a pain in the aft. Also Bee would have thought the whole time that she was Smokescreen’s daughter, so learning that she’s actually AA-00’s would be kind of a shock.. he would try not to let it affect his attitude towards her, but it might unconsciously. But Strongarm would notice… yeah, it would be a rough arc for both her and AA-00.

LOL!! Yeah honestly! I’m imagining Starscream spotting AA-00 and Strongarm for the first time, and he’s about to do some smarmy “well well well what do we have here?” sorta speech, but before he even gets a word out, Ultra Magnus’ ship drops from the sky and squishes him :u

Yes definitely! And not just her, honestly.. there’s Autobot symbols all over the place on Cybertron at the start of RID15. At least I think there were, I only got a glimpse tbh :UAA-00 frequently has to remind themself that they don’t get to control other peoples’ actions, and wearing a badge was important to some during the war…… but for frags sake they worked really hard at trying to get everyone past the factions thing and now even their own sparkling has a fraggin Autobrand it’s infuriating!

Yes, every time! Even when she’s grown up and there’s no real way to explain why they’re so worried about her, they’d be much more concerned about her safety than the lie they’ve been keeping up. Excuses can always be thought of later.

Hmmmm probably not. I mean, it’s hard to be neutral on a subject that was literally your entire life for like eons. For kids though, it’s hard to realize that your parents are biased, so I think she’d just have these conflicting ideas put in her head by mistake and maybe she doesn’t even realize they’re conflicting for a long time. Happens a lot to kids whose parents don’t agree on stuff.

Anon! This is so good thank you for this it is definitely canon now!!!

I think a combination.. they definitely want to help her learn and also be there for those big moments like first words and first transformation, but also they want to have fun with her. They don’t want to be too stuffy.. they’re well aware that both themself and Magnus are pretty serious types, so they try to remember and be more fun.

As for Wildbreak.. I think that he would have mentioned to Wendy what he was planning to do before running off to join the Stunticons. Mostly because he knows Wendy is the only one who won’t try to stop him. So once he does disappear, Knockout gets pretty freaked out in his own (very angry) way, and Tracks notices that Wendy is strangely not freaking out. And it’s pretty well established how bad Wendy is at keeping secrets. So Wildbreak’s disappearance won’t be a mystery for long. Also once Tracks gets this info, she’s going to go after him and that plot is going to go down.. I don’t think Tracks would tell Knockout exactly where Wildbreak had gone or how she knew, though. He’d blame Wendy and she doesn’t need more of that drama… She would just let him know she found out where he was and was going to bring him home.
