Ler:

-Somehow manages to be both laid back and a menace

-Tickling his friends is a fun bonding activity to him, and he prefers only attacking people he’s formed a connection with

-Probably about 55% ler, 50% lee

-Will most likely attack when he’s in a playful mood. He uses it to help his friends relax, get a little bit of revenge on them, or just because he wants to make someone laugh

-His style is gentle but effective. He’ll never go overboard, but he will get the results he wants, whether that’s giggling and squirming or howling with laughter

-Tickle fights are actually kind of new to him, or at least it’s been a long time since he participated in one. That being said, they’re a welcome surprise. If he feels close enough with the people involved, he’ll happily join in

-Has no issues with chasing down whoever he’s about to get. If anything, it’s a way to build anticipation by showing them there’s no outrunning him :)

-He and Prowl have parkour chases. Sari sees it how one would see their cats chasing each other up the sides of couches

-King of teasing. Somehow he always manages to figure out what kind of teasing affects whoever he’s wrecking the most. His two favorite methods are pretending he doesn’t know what he’s doing, or being smug and teasing about how ticklish you are/how high and mighty you were talking earlier, etc.

-He also likes to “show off” (<- Prowl’s words) while tickling people. “Watch this”, “bet you’ve never seen this before,” etc.

-Loves to use anticipation. Depending on how much time he has, he’s more than willing to stalk his prey (usually Prowl, works best on him) fully in their view so they know what’s coming. He’ll also snake eyes whatever spot he’s going for

-Doesn’t typically laugh along with whoever he’s wrecking, but will on occasion. He does smile the whole time though

-Wrestling someone down to tickle them is fun for him! He won’t always do it, as there are some bots who prefer just getting right into it, but he usually wrestles with Prowl and Bee.

-He’d wrestle with Sari too if he wasn’t afraid of hurting her

-More affectionate things like tickly hugs and nuzzles are generally saved for close friends. But when he does feel comfortable enough to use them, he uses them at will

-Gives killer raspberries

-Very strong, and very good at holding people down. He prefers a loose grip so whoever he’s got can squirm, and even escape if they really want to, but if he tightens it? No getting out

-Out of the Earth bots, he’s closest with Prowl, so that’s who he tends to favor when it comes to tickling. He’s been wrangled into a tickle fight with the whole crew though, so he’s gotten everyone at least once

-He doesn’t tickle Sentinel per se, but he does like “accidentally” poking him and making him jump and/or squeak

-Cannot be flustered while tickling someone. If they try, he will just smile and somehow deflects it back onto them

-Extremely good at telling boundaries, which means whoever he wrecks always gets the perfect amount. Enough that they aren’t trapped in their own anticipation for the rest of the day, but never goes too far

Lee:

-Surprisingly calm lee. This also means he can think his way out of most situations. Most people can’t keep him down if he doesn’t let them

-Which he does. Often

-Actually really likes being tickled by his friends. He’ll put up a fight to make things interesting for both of them, but if someone wants to just let off some steam by wrecking him, he won’t really even fight back or try to escape

-Very clear with his boundaries. He won’t say stop unless he means it

-Gets wrecked most often for revenge or to cheer him up

-Not super ticklish. Probably a little above what one would expect of a ninja/highly trained warrior, but overall probably about a 6/10

-His stomach and hips are super bad. He’ll try and buck off anyone who gets him there (or just go limp, depending on if he wants to fight/has the will to)

-His neck, shoulders, and knees are moderately ticklish. Those places will definitely get some giggles and squeaks out of him, maybe a louder laugh if he’s taken off guard

-His lower back is also a bit ticklish. Will flinch and snicker if poked there enough times

-Tickling weakens him a lot. Absolutely nerfs him. Doesn’t mean he can’t escape, but Sari and Bumblebee think it’s pretty funny

-As said above, doesn’t really fight back unless it’s to make things interesting for either himself or the other person. It’s honestly pretty relaxing for him

-He had a very nice, rich laugh. It’s comforting to listen to

-Will make all manner of noises if he’s caught off guard, whether by the tickling or the methods used. Prowl is proud of the fact that he knows how to make him squeal, snort, or wheeze

-Doesn’t really threaten whoever’s getting him, but does on occasion. It’s usually right at the beginning to try and dissuade them from tickling him. He gets wrecked twice as hard for it

-Not really much of a talker when he’s being tickled either. He will try to determine why they’re getting him if he didn’t see it coming, and anticipation can make him yap a little more than usual out of nerves

-Almost always stands his ground if he knows someone is coming after him. It makes them think twice

-If it’s a chase they want, though, he will run. Likes being chased because he knows all the escape routes. Prowl is the only one who can keep up with him 99% of the time

-Tries to hide his reactions, not to look tough, but because he kinda likes making whoever’s wrecking him work for it

-Catching him off guard is the best way to get rarer reactions from him

-Thinks wrestling is fun. It’s not necessary, but he won’t complain if a playful wrestling match turns into a tickle fight

-Picking him up catches him off guard for a little while. He can adjust to it quicker than most, but it’s still surprising

-Very hard to overpower unless he wants it. And even when he wants it, sometimes he wants to make you work for it

-Likes soft tickles and rough tickles equally. Soft tickles are comforting and nice, and sometimes it’s just fun to be a bit giggly

-Rough tickles are fun and release a lot of stress. Plus they’re prime for cuddling after because both parties are usually tired

-Appreciates comfort tickles. He’ll never outright ask for them, but it’s usually pretty easy to tell when he wants them

-Flusters a bit easier when being wrecked. He’ll cover his face from time to time, and is usually pretty flushed

-Teasing works just fine on him. Most susceptible to being gently teased about being knocked down a peg and cannot stand compliments for the life of him

-Prowl gets him the most often, because he can catch him the easiest. Everyone on the team has gotten him at least once as well. Surprisingly, Ratchet might be the one who has gotten him third most often (Sari is second). Medics know everything

-His response to being asked if he’s ticklish depends on the person. If it’s someone he’s close with, they might get a side-eye and a very careful “yes”. If it’s someone he doesn’t really know, they get a confident “no”
