POLYBOTS

I love my bots polyamorous >:)

Heatwave/Blades/Boulder/Chase Headcanons

• None of them actually remember when they became official. Let's be honest, they'd likely been dating since Academy, but only labeled it after they were on Earth for a while (when they started understanding what a relationship actually was).

• Heatwave actually really enjoys cuddles, but he acts like he doesn't. He acts like this imposing figure but he prefers to be on the bottom of the sleep pile so he can feel the weight of his partners on top of him.

• Blades and Boulder plan the date nights! Boulder's idea of a romantic date is a nature walk! He'll take the other three on a walk into the woods of Griffin Rock, point out the animals, and explain what he knows. The other three ask questions, nuzzle into him, and definitely sit out under the stars with him. Blades will select a movie, or have them scrapbook with him. Heatwave grumbles but puts in the most effort he can, Chase asks a lot of questions, but eventually participates... Even if his page ends up being two or three.

• Chase, while not being the most physically affectionate, becomes the clingiest when he's with his partners. He hugs and kisses them regularly, and will even let his engine idle in a purr so they can hear how much he loves them.

• Somehow, the Burns didn't know they were dating for ages. Of course, their giant alien robot companions showed friendship in an interesting way, but they didn't really apply any human-like romantic interactions with them. They thought it was normal behavior for them, but... They eventually figured it out. On complete accident.

• Blades and Chase pile on top of the Heatwave and Boulder. They don't sleep any other way, just on top of their larger partners.

* Additionally, Blades struggles to sleep without the other three, which is why missions where he's separated from them longer than a night he becomes more anxious and sleep deprived.

• Heatwave accidentally outed their relationship in front of Kade once. Kade did not understand what he was talking about and stared at him stupidly. Never brought it up after. Heatwave was both relieved and annoyed because Kade is stupid (/lh).

• Boulder paints his partners! They are his muse and he loves them so much. Of course, where they're not landscapes, he keeps these paintings to himself and shows them to his beloved partners. Blades always fawns, Chase smiles and compliments his work (with as much enthusiasm as he can express), and Heatwave gets all flustered and tries to hide his face behind a large servo.

• Heatwave's love language is touch. He loves being close to his partners, holding their servos, having his face buried in the crooks of their necks. Or bullying. He also loves picking on them playfully, especially because they know he's joking.

• Blades calls his other partners gay if he sees them kissing. In turn, they call him gay because he's on the relationship, too. Cue dramatic gasp and pearl clutching.

* Blades had to explain to them what gay meant the first time he said it. Chase looked it up in the dictionary and pointed out it had two meanings. "1. A person interested in the same-sex. 2. Formerly meant happy." He then claimed to be both. Heatwave and Boulder laughed until they cried.

• Boulder makes sure all his partners have eaten and are well-fueled, because they often get caught up in what they're doing and forget.

•PDA is common with them all. They are clingy, and no one can really deny it.

POLYBOTS, WE ALL CHEERED!

Of course, some more Polybots because we all love and adore them :>

Also, maybe some Polybots + Charlie Burns for funsies. Have 10 more headcanons! Go, my Polybots fans, feast!

Heatwave/Chase/Boulder/Blades Headcanons

• All had a mutual crush on Charlie Burns at some point in time and openly talked about it. It was a big gossip ring between the four, as they all found Charlie incredibly attractive. Charlie knew solely because Chase couldn't keep it a secret.

• In their relationship, Blades fell first, Boulder second, Chase third, and Heatwave last. Despite falling for the other three so much later, he fell the hardest. Everything he does is for them.

* Heatwave, at first, expressed his love through gift giving and small deeds. Yet, as he did so, he was learning how to communicate the things he felt verbally. Verbal expression hadn't always been his strong suit, given he convinced himself he needed to be a model leader- stubborn and headstrong. He learned that wasn't always the case (and his partners were so proud of him)!

• Blades learned human holiday traditions so he could celebrate them with the other Rescuebots. His favorite, for obvious reasons, is Valentine's Day! He gets to make cards, Energon treats, and goes to get flowers with Boulder (because Boulder definitely knows flower language and what each symbolizes). Each card was personalized for each individual! He even matched their color schemes the best he could.

• Chase often initiates physical affection so his other partners know he's alright to be touched. He will hug and kiss their cheeks initially to let them know he wants to cuddle. This affection is never shown outside of their quarters, simply because it's something he only wants his mates to see.

• Boulder, as I've mentioned before, loves painting his partners. But he often has them group up so he can do group paintings. And yes, he will paint himself with his partners. They have various of these paintings hung up in their private quarters. Heatwave is the one who insisted they have their own section of the wall, along with their actual pictures.

• Blades found out about photo booths one time and decided to try and replicate it for someone bot-sized. A lot of funny antics ensued, and the power grid of Griffin Rock might've gone out for 48 hours, leaving the population without power- but! He did manage to replicate a perfect photo booth photograph for him and his partners. His contraption was also a fire hazard that after use, did have to be put out, but he views the efforts as worth it!

• Charlie has been included in many of their dates. He has gone out star-gazing and nature walking. Did he know it was dates? Obviously, but he was happy to be included in it because he does return the attraction.. even if he's not "officially" part of the relationship just yet.

• Heatwave never told Kade that he was in a relationship. I mentioned this in a former post that the Burns didn't really know for a long time- yeah, Kade took the longest. While Blades, Chase, and Boulder happily talked about their relationship once their human companions found out, Heatwave never did. He wasn't embarrassed by it, no, he just didn't view it as work appropriate to discuss his personal relationships. Kade found out entirely by accident because he saw Heatwave kissing/cuddling with one of his partners and got suspicious (this was like two years after the rest of his family found out).

• Chase got the team invested in playing cards during game night, mainly because he knew Heatwave was competitive and cards are usually a game of chance. To all of their dismay, Heatwave has one hell of a game face, and they found it hard to read. And yes, he ends up winning over half of the games or rage quitting. Don't worry, though! They always calm him down/reward him with some kisses! <3
