#angrycomet rambles

I mean he's already established to be one of the largest autobots.

But he's also walking around with a frame type unique to him. With him being part of a generation that had 3 different frame types/protoform molds used (mostly Bumblebee's and but occasionally Arcee and Ratchet's) this is really weird.

but for me the biggest piece of evidence to this is his hands.

Find me another Autobot in TFA to have atypical hands like this.

Hell, if we follow the "Bulkhead was forged a Warframe" another line of thought could be those aren't his original hands and the Autobots just saw a sparkling guns built and went "oh fuck no! Nope!" And just chopped 'em off and gave him his machine claw hands instead

Huh didn't think people would be interested in this, so let's lore dump for this little crack au.

In short? Yes. Moonracer dumped him while Trailbreaker and Cliffjumper snuck Sunstreaker back to to the barracks.

Not that any bot at the firestation really knew what to do with a sparkling- most didn't even know they were real phenomenon until they found him in his sad little box on the steps.

It was decided that Fire Chief Inferno would in charge of the loud beeping thing- much to his dismay.

His Conjuxes were both going off planet in the next decacycle so he'd be doing this completely on his own until he finds someone else to foist the little guy on.

(Part 1)

Cause you KNOW he's teaching him catch and feeding him snacks and know all his good scratching spots and having fun with the new pet.

So when Predaking reveals that he is fully sentient things get SO awkward.

Like- imagine the giant ass doberman 20x your size you've been training and caring for suddenly turns into a giant man who is shockingly intelligent and well spoken.

AND he STILL expects treats and scratches and games of catch from you.

Like- what do you MEAN you tiny things made a device that can print out anything with the right blueprint and raw materials??? Do you know how many lives that would save?

How convenient it would be just to be like "oh well Bumblebee needs a voicebox replacement and his ports all jacked up. Sit here and read this auto-body magazine while we wait for this thing to print you out a new throat."

I need all the Cybertronian medics hounding their engineers to build them bigger versions of 3d printers that can handle their materials.
