#devastator x reader

• Rumbling warily as he adjusts his grip on you, Bonecrusher growls when he recognizes Overlord. Chasing a human. And he hears Scavenger start growling a warning, too. “Hey!” You yell and he vents when the other human runs toward you. “Oh,” you murmur, stumbling back a step when Overlord swings your way, too. Doesn’t know the word you say next as you retreat with them, but your field prickles through him with your fear.

• Snarling at Overlord to back off in their own language as the miniature jet circles and the other human grabs your arm when Overlord dives at both humans, Hook tenses. And the stranger is trying to hide behind you to his annoyance. Feels the aggravation of the others building, rumbling growing louder. Barely leashed aggression spinning him tight. Before he’s reaching for Scrapper, grabbing the other Constructicon.

• Swatting at the tiny jet as it swoops and dives at your face, you’ve unlocked a new fear. Thinking of all the stupid videos you’ve seen of people accidentally flying drones into their own faces, you try to not drop any of your mechs as you fend off whoever this new alien is. And Bonecrusher pushes off of you, hitting the ground right before they’re all letting go. Then combining. Though it loses something when they end up only a foot taller than you are.

ohhhhhhhhhhh he's so childish about his darling...

all of his component mechs yearn so badly for you in their own ways, it amalgamates into this giant mech trying to pick you up in his servos the moment he sees you. you're so much smaller than devastator, you're like a little doll in his hands that he can do anything with— there's this horrifying, child-like fascination he has with you.

if you are a Decepticon, he's trying so hard to get you. he's fighting off the Autobots quicker, he's soooo much more reckless. he NEEDS to get you in his servos! he needs to finish his part so he can move on to focus entire on you. but the moment he does, Megatron gives you something to do and he has to put you down— Devastator hates retreating orders even more because he gets you in his servos and then he immediately has to un-combine!?!?!? definitely throwing a tantrum about it and ruining the mission.

he's also extremely smug about having you in his servos, he's just got this shit-eating grin on his face. he's mocking you and telling you how easy it was to get you as you have a cute deep frown on your face. Devastator finds you sooooo adorable... he also gets to feel your frame and EM field. he can tell you're scared from your energy field and he loves it.

the constructions routinely seek out your company when they haven't combined, they're constantly following behind you. they wanna keep you close; really close. but its not easy for you! especially if you're a part of a combiner team yourself. at some point, they take up all your time because at least one of them butts in when you have a conversation with someone else. also massive personal space violations from them all. the constructions want all your time for them and only them— this shows in Devastator who gets huffy when he sees you talk to someone else. Primus forbid he sees you getting flirty... Devastator will throw a violent, childish tantrum; he's throwing things around and mindlessly hurting his fellow 'Cons.

it just becomes routine where he get holds you in his servo like a doll. something like in King Kong maybe. but it never goes past that. Megatron could eventually use you as a motivator to get Devastator to do stuff and it would work so well, it wouldn't even be funny. like Devastator is hitting his peak performance. its the most productive he's been in vorns. Megatron is pleased, Devastator feels victorious about getting to hold you in his servos and you're pissed as shit.

if he wanted to kidnap you though, he can't do it in his combined form and would need the individual construticons to corner you so he could keep you for himself. he can't just walk out with you in his servos and he doubts Megatron would let him keep you forever as his (in typical traditional yandere fashion) so he'll need to strike out of the battlefield.

there is a slim chance that you could possibly seduce the big bot into doing what you want. if you play your cards right and charm him. Devastator is not that smart, he won't see it coming. something like a TFA Blackarachnia move would 100% work on him but be warned, it can go south very quickly and just make him even more possessive over you.

if you're an Autobot, he's targeting you in specific. you probably think that Devastator is your biggest hater or something with how he's trying his hardest to get you in his servos. and you have no idea what the heck his deal is either. usually, your other Autobot friends have come and help you escape him. it gets to a point where if you're there then Devastator will definitely be there. the Autobots probably wouldn't do this unless you agreed to it but they could probably use you as bait to lure Devastator away from battles and it works neatly every single time. the big dummy is falling for it without fail. just make sure he doesn't manage to actually get you in his servos though because ohhhh he has plans for you...

Bruticus

✦ ── Surprisingly, one of the more nonchalant combiners when not under direct threat. Bruticus is best when combined, as opposed to just the sum of his parts.

✦ ── The only thing he lacks is the gentle parts. The kindness and the steady movements having such a small partner demands. He makes up for it with his sheer desire to prove he can take care of you just as well as his lone components.

✦ ── Not knowing where you are is an easy fix. At least one of his components is an inovator, and now you've always got a bell tied to some part of you. If you try to take it off, it will end up permanently affixed to you.

✦ ── While he may be military smart, Bruticus isn't the brightest bulb. He gets confused easily when you talk to him about anything non-war-related. Cocks his head to the side and gives you that uncertain stare. It's the cutest he'll ever look.

✦ ── Brings you to fights just to put you somewhere safe so you can watch him beat the shit out of the enemies. You might even catch Bruticus glancing back at your spot to make sure you're still watching him.

Defensor

✦ ── The gentlest of all combiners without having to put too much work into it, Defensor is well aware of your fragility and aims to protect you in any way he can. Unfortunately, this means he is the least willing to handle you.

✦ ── Holding you during a fight is out of the question. It isn't so much him he is worried about. It's whatever might be done to him. But when times are calm, he'll grab a blanket and scoop you up with it. Something soft he doesn't have to worry about pinching too tight that holds you gently for him.

✦ ── Being around you is always a moment of self-discovery for the components, who are still getting to know one another. What Defensor does know is that he loves you, as confusing as the urges to both nuzzle his cheek against you or act nonchalant are.

✦ ── A bit embarrassed about his verbal tic, how he doesn't exactly speak to you how his components and others might. Likes when you talk to him, instead. He'll rumble and whirr in response to let you know he's listening.

✦ ── Reassure him, please. He acts all capable and confident, of course. But something in him melts when you urge him to speak, when you compliment his abilities, when you say you love *him* and not just his components.

Devastator

✦ ── Honestly so sweet. He may be destructive, but his components make things. They use their servos and are gentle when needed. So he must be able to as well, right?

✦ ── More hesitant to hold you. Would rather have you somewhere high up where he can sit near you and watch what you're doing. At most, he'll reach a digit out to poke you when you aren't paying enough attention to him.

✦ ── It's difficult to ignore him, though. He has what looks like a permanent pout on his face, and he'd look adorable if he weren't so dangerous. His engines also rumble real loud when he's near you. You're not sure he's noticed.

✦ ── Why are his servos shaking? You're imagining things, sweetspark. Ignore that it's literally jostling you. He isn't nervous about handling you the first time...the first few times...every time. Not at all.

✦ ── It's clear when the big guy has lost track of you because he will completely freeze up. Too scared if he moves a single joint, you might get crushed, or if he steps back, his pede will hit you. That's the only time you see him patient, waiting to hear from you so he knows it's okay to move.

Menasor

✦ ── Extremely intimidating without trying, and it works to his advantage with you. You should be at least a bit scared of him, because that's how he knows you'll be careful around him.

✦ ── Not too scared, though. Enjoys startling you, seeing you jump when he slams a hand near you or growls a little too loudly. But he still desires your love as much as his components. Look at him, talk to him, trust him. He will fight for you.

✦ ── Struggles with words, a lot. He'd be embarrassed if he cared, but it never occurred to him until his components fell for you that he might want to use words. To talk, rather than lash out. Now he hates it.

✦ ── The most rough out of any combiner when handling you, but to Menasor, he's treating you like the most fragile thing in the entire universe. He's running out of patience, but he won't let himself snap when it comes to you. You'll get some bruises, but nothing more.

✦ ── Prefers your company directly as opposed to just with his components, which is why he hates that he mostly comes out for battles. He can't hold you while he's fighting. At least the anger from missing you and his desire to get things over with propel him towards victory.

Superion

✦ ── Total show-off. So many components in him are vying for your attention, and so long as you're looking at him, they've all got it. A lot more humble with his smack talk when you're around, because why talk when he can show?

✦ ── Not as worried as a group of bots should be about hurting you. That's mostly because Superion plans for things. He knows he won't hurt you because he is fully capable of being careful. You are capable, too. You'll let him know if he needs to be gentler.

✦ ── But...perhaps...not that he would ever ADMIT IT. He is terrified of getting lost in his own ego and hurting you because of it. There is always some level of caution behind what he does, evident in how he hesitates before moving when you're with him.

✦ ── He isn't sure why you seem so amused when he talks, but you seem to find his wording funny, and that's good enough for him. Something about dry humour, though you're not sure if it's intentional or not.

✦ ── Superion enjoys spending time with you and will display his displeasure when he doesn't see you for long periods of time. It doesn't seem like being around his components counts. HE wants to talk to you.

Author's Note ── Ignore that 2/3 of the art for Bruticus is actually from Skybound. It isn't my fault that IDW has so few appearances of Bruticus...and Skybound's covers of him are literally perfect.

You hadn’t ever imagined yourself in a polyamorous relationship with any group of people when you were younger. Now, in a relationship with six Cybertronians, you couldn’t be further from the life you’d envisioned and you’d never been happier. As much as you’d never pictured yourself in such a relationship, it was even more confusing for the Constructicons. They’d always felt so complete as Devastator until they met you; a squishy, fragile human. They all felt it, even as Devastator, something was missing without you and so, they took a risk, approaching you in a group to ask you to join their relationship. Although you couldn’t physically merge with them, they felt whole again when you accepted.

Although the relationship certainly had its challenges, you and the bots found enjoyment in spending as much time as possible together, especially when showing one-another enjoyable pastimes from your respective planets; it was on one such day that led you all to the beach. You’d been laughing at the bots’ complaints about the sand and playing hide and seek among the rocks of the cliffside when a powerful earthquake occurred. Upon seeing the cliff above you start to crumble, Scrapper acted on impulse, pushing you into the safety of a nearby cave with such force you felt the bones in your arm snap. The bots froze, wishing that the sound of crashing rocks could’ve blocked out your blood-curdling scream; it was a sound that would haunt them forever.

“(Y/N)!” They yelled in unison, rushing to your aid but finding the entrance blocked by a cave in.

“WE’VE GOTTA GET IN THERE!” Hook roared, punching the rocks repeatedly.

“Stop fool,” Scavenger objected, pulling Hook away.

“You pile of slag, we’ve got to save (Y/N).”

“Use your processor! The rock is unstable, by randomly punching it, we could cause another cave in and kill (Y/N). Is that what you want?”

Hook stepped back, shocked, “N-no but- What do we do then? Scrapper?”

Scrapper looked up from his servos, dazed; he’d been lost in the memory of hurting you. ‘Stop lingering on your mistake and fix it by saving (Y/N).’ The thought brought him back to the present. “Scavenger,” he said, “how long can (Y/N) with the air supply in there?”

Scavenger ran the numbers in his head, considering multiple variables that could affect your chances. “Hard to be precise but the minimum amount of time would be around 57 minutes and 12 seconds.”

“Then there’s time. Constructicons, transform, phase one.”

In their respective vehicle modes, the bots began digging, undeterred for the first half hour of the job, by which point Bonecrusher, Mixmaster and Long Haul were becoming anxious. At the start of the dig, Bonecrusher had been arguing with Long Haul who’d been whining that the dirt and sand were ruining his finish but now the two were silent; the pressure was getting to him. Mixmaster on the other hand, was talking enough for everyone.

“The second we get there, I’m going to give (Y/N) a big hug, then we can do all the cool things (s)he told us about. We can bake cakes and play video games and make sandcastles; mine will be better because I’m a great builder but I’m sure (Y/N)’s will be okay too and-”

“And according to my calculations we won’t make it in time.” Scavenger interrupted Mixmaster’s ramblings.

“What about a mix of acids?” Scrapper asked.

“Too dangerous.”

“Then I see no choice. Everyone, transform, phase two.”

The bots stopped digging, grouping up to form Devastator. Still being careful not to cause another cave-in, Devastator cleared the remaining rock within minutes. Stepping inside the cavern, he found you unconscious on the floor.

“(Y/N),” he stroked your hair lightly, rousing you.

Slowly, you woke up, having trouble focusing on the giant bot in front of you. Ignoring the pain, you managed a weak whisper, “Hey honey, thanks for the save.”

Devastator shuddered, holding back tears, “I-It’s going to be alright, we’re going to get you fixed. You need a- a-”

“Hospital.”

“Hospital! Right!”

• Flustered as Hook just stares at you, you can feel them all staring. Because there’s no denying that this is Devastator’s kid. And you’re not entirely sure if they consider this cheating or not. Though Devastator is them. But he’s also his own person. When the combiner had sparkbonded you while the mechs were all mass displaced tiny, this isn’t exactly the outcome you’d expected. You honestly don’t think any of them had even guessed this might be possible. They’d all just assumed one of them was the sire after Hook had realized you were sparked.

• Moving closer to kneel beside you, Bonecrusher rumbles and nudges Hook’s hand aside so he can offer his servo to their sparkling. Likes how you look, their son in your arms. Even if he can’t tell what the sparkling’s altmode is. But then, a combiner siring a sparkling isn’t exactly something that happens often. Or at all. Leaning down, his cheek brushes yours as he vents. Servos flexing with the need to hold his son. And Mixmaster throws an arm across his shoulders, crowding him as the other mech tries to touch the sparkling’s hand. “Let me see,” Mixmaster growls and his plating flares slightly in irritation. Not wanting to share, wanting to have a moment that’s only his.

• Exchanging a look with Hook, Scrapper shakes his head in bemusement. Still trying to understand how this happened. Though he knows how. Devastator had taken full advantage to being closer to your size. He’d been there, felt that hungry need like they all had. And he’s growling, reaching to separate Long Haul, Mixmaster, and Bonecrusher when the three start rumbling aggressively at each other, pushing to try and get closer to you. They’re unsettled and on edge and he gets it. Knows they feel the need to combine, needing to see the sparkling as Devastator, because he does, too. Feels it aching through him, his desire, but not only his at the same time.

• “Mine,” he growls, taking a thunderous step forward and another human grabs you when you try to bolt. Forces you toward him. Rumbling angrily, everything’s a confusing mess inside him. His different voices whispering, upset. Someone else is touching you when you’re theirs. And your boots slide as you resist getting pushed his way. Dropping to a knee to reach for you, the impact knocks you and several other humans down. Servos closing carefully on you, caging you, your field is an agony of fear needling at him. Making it harder to hold himself together.

• Trying to squirm between his servos as the massive hand cups around you to send your heart hammering in your chest, he makes a low, groaning noise as he lifts you. And you clench your eyes shut against the rush of being lifted too high too fast. Trying to memorize the face of the jerk who shoved you at this monster so you can murder him later. If you survive. Lying in his hand, you can’t move. Don’t dare try to lean and look down, because you’re almost positive you’ve unlocked a hitherto unknown fear of heights because of him.

• So fragile. Can feel you, a tiny spot of warmth in his hand. And your fear hurts. Haven’t they tried to do right by you? Courted you? Maybe you hadn’t chosen them, but they’ve proven themselves. Haven’t Hook and Mixmaster brought you human food? Scavenger and Bonecrusher carried you outside the base for walks in the sun and woods like you enjoy? They’ve protected you. Taken care of you like you tend to them. You know them. But you don’t know him, do you? That realization sinking into them all as his head lowers and his lips brush you.

• Shielding your face with an arm when he presses his mouth against you in a kiss that covers your whole body, you whimper when he clears his vents to blast you with gale force winds that rock you. “Devastator’s little conjunx,” he growls, the words rough and guttural. Is this even still them or something new entirely? He does seem to know you. You’re not about to contradict this giant’s claim, either. Not when you like being alive and not squished by this Devastator if you make him angry. Getting another kiss that flattens you into his palm and drives the air from your lungs, you wheeze and gasp when his head lifts to growl at everyone and everything. Before he’s walking off with you. Apparently kidnapping you.
