How “Humanized” Burgertron got his Cheese Burger Backpack:
Spud Muffin came upon Burgertron to find him curled up in a ball, crying in his knees. This wasn’t the first time he’d seen this, it had been just over a week since Burgertron had been (Accidentally) turned into a Flesh Creature or Human as he & the Lostbots had learn from Dave.
Burgertron had been struggling with this, even though he’s told everyone his fine, Spud’s known him long enough to see right through him.
While exploring the cloth shops, since Burgertron’s transformation he’s needed clothes & Spud Muffin has often found himself looking for clothes for his friend to wear.
Just as he was leaving the store, he spotted some “Novelty” bags & he saw one that looked just like a Cheeseburger! Spud had to get it for Burgertron!
Spud immediately went to grab it when Jacquline (Dimlit’s Girlfriend) spotted him.
“Spud Muffin?” Jacquline asked.
“Please!” Spud asked desperately, “I just wanted to give this Cheeseburger Backpack to Burgertron, to cheer him up & also to help him look more like himself!”
Jacquline looked at Spud Muffin with soft gentle eyes, she thought it was so sweet that Spud was trying so hard to help his friend like this.
“Need a hand getting it down?” she finally said, “I think these bags are in the Clearance Sale, so no one will notice it’s gone”.
Spud Muffin was shocked, even since the “Gold Rush Games” all of the Botbots treated him like an outcast, only Burgertron & the Lostbots had treated him like an equal, so to have another Botbot to trust him again was a surprise.
“Thank you” was all he could say, after a few tugs at the backpack, it fell to the ground.
“Why did you just help me?” Spud asked Jacquline, “No one other than the Lostbots has been nice to me”.
“Because I could tell you really wanted to help Burgertron” she replied, “And also, Dimlit told me everything that’s been going on”.
“Oh yeah, your Dimlit’s Girlfriend an’t yea” Spud replied. He looked up at Jacquline, thanked her one last time & went off with the backpack to give it to Burgertron.
Now here he was just staring at his friend, Spud was having second thoughts about this, but he swallowed the lump in his throat & walked up to his friend.
Burgertron heard someone call his name, he looked up from his knees to see his friend Spud Muffin, behind him was a Cheese Burger made out of what looked to be like fabric.
“So err” Spud said, he was finding it hard to speak, so he just said whatever would come out of his mouth, “I found this backpack that looks like a Cheese Burger, which you are, I mean used to be, well anyway just wear this ok Burgertron! You look weird like this”.
Burgertron whipped his eyes & looked more closely at the backpack, then he said a simple, “Thank you Spud”. Burgertron took the backpack & then put it on, he looked at himself & kept quiet.
Spud was worried Burgertron didn’t like the backpack. Just then Burgertron picked him up & gave him a hug, or the closest thing to a hug he could give.
“Ok, ok, you big fleshy, I get it, your welcome” Spud Muffin said laughing as he saw Burgertron smile, the first real smile he’d seen on Burgertron’s face in a while.
Spud was relieved to see his friend happy again, even if it was for a little bit, this was all Spud wanted.
Hi again Tumblr, this is a continuation of a previous post I did a while back.
A Transformers Botbots AU: Humanized Burgertron.
In the previous post, I mentioned Spud Muffin gave Burgertron a Cheese Burger Backpack & I’ve been wanted to expand on that for a while, so I’ve written a short story about it & drew this sketch to go alone with it.
Let me know in the comments below if you liked it & if you want to see more of this AU.
