timelapse under the cut(watch me go through the stages of grief):

!!!!! AYYYY hi friend :D

PROTOFORM: Where were you onlined? What was childhood like?

Optimus stares down at the question on his datapad. “I was forged and brought online in the Cybertronian city-state of Iacon, though back then I was known as Orion Pax. My kind does not have a childhood in the same way many organic species do, but from what I have seen and heard from others, my upbringing was much easier than most. I had caretakers who led me to the academics and other higher callings, I always had enough energon to consume, all of the privileges of being a member of one of the higher castes.”

Optimus frowns. “However... My opinions on the caste system itself, namely the opinion that it was-- and still is-- wrong, left me alienated from many others within my normal circles, even among the intellectuals and other security members at the Iacon Archives. It wasn’t until--” He cuts himself off suddenly. “Ah, I... suppose I have already answered the question, haven’t I?

CAMRADERIE: Tell us about your comrades or squad. Do you get along? Would you rather work with other people?

Optimus Prime leans forward so that his elbows are on his desk, clasping his servos together. He seems to think about it for several moments before saying, “The current team I am with has some of the most loyal and talented individuals among the Autobots.

“Prowl’s strategic mind is a marvel, even if his focus on logic can sometimes make him appear... aloof. Ratchet has some of the steadiest hands on Cybertron, and that was even before the war broke out, but his cynicism and general, well, grumpiness, as the humans put it, can be grating. Arcee is a fairly new addition, and has a near-flawless infiltration record according to Elita-1, though I have also heard that she has sent her fair share of friend and foe alike to the medical bay outside of those missions. Bulkhead has just as must compassion as he has strength, but his issues with memory and focus can be concerning at times.”

RIGHT okay so. I am writing a fic for this so i won’t be sharing much atm that goes past the first couple of chapters or so, BUT!! i can share random (non-spoilery) facts!!

The Witwicky who ended up bringing Bee home and did most of the “raising” of him was Stephen Witwicky, Spike’s grandfather!

The growth cycle of a forged Cybertronian goes protoform (Lasts 1-2 years, Bean Mode), Sparkling (Lasts 2-4 years, toddler stage, more distinct features develop), and then they’re able to scan their first alt-mode! Though, even then they’re usually not considered “fully grown” until they hit their first millennia.

Bee in this AU has not hit his first millennia. He hasn’t even hit triple digits.

Cybertronians CAN ingest fossil fuels and earth metals, but it’s not the best choice for them. It’s sorta like eating lunchables and drinking soda all the time.

You can probably imagine how Ratchet reacts when he hears that’s been p much Bee’s entire diet for like, almost 70 years.

Uhhh Bee is VERY sweet, very good, very eager to learn abt his homeworld

However he will still try to throw down w/ someone who hurts the people he cares about

:D

may i get permission 2 go thru ur writings that ive been missing ut on reading and comment on them ( wont spam u tho i pwomise)

I- I won’t say no but Alex bud you don’t have to do that laughs. everything i’ve written the past two years has been centered around Dungeons and Dragons characters and is super self indulgent.
