#ler!smokescreen

Ler:

-Smokescreen is a mixture of a sweetheart and a little shit when he’s wrecking someone. Which side he leans toward depends highly on context

-Thinks tickling others is great! It’s a good way for him to get his energy out, and he also just likes being mischievous sometimes

-Probably around 60% lee, 40% ler

-Tickles others for one of three reasons: to try and cheer them up, to mess with them, or as revenge

-Actually a bit of a clumsy ler. He’s not terribly used to tickling people, so he can be a little rough or go after places that aren’t super effective, but it’s endearing enough that some might find it quite teasing

-Probably the most common tickle fight starter of the bots on Team Prime. He wants to help the others let loose a little, whether that be out of care, mischief, or both

-Likes chasing people down. Definitely the type to be like “oh no you don’t!” when his target makes a run for it

-Definitely big on teasing. It can range from anything to trying to make whoever he’s wrecking tell him he’s the best, to yapping loudly about how cute their laughter is. Or yapping about how big and tough they are, and now he’s laying them low. He’s a yapper

-His idea of anticipation is asking things like “am I going to get you here? Or here? Maybe here?” Can be effective or annoying (affectionate) depending on who he’s wrecking

-Can be flustered while wrecking someone, but that ENTIRELY depends on who he’s wrecking. With most people, he’s a smidge too cocky to be flustered. If he was getting someone like Optimus or Magnus, they might be able to fluster him by accident because he looks up to them

-Laughs along with whoever he’s getting, and on occasion at them. He just thinks some of the things people do when being wrecked is goofy

-Launches sneak attacks on people all the time. It’s quite rare for him to outright declare he’s going to tickle someone

-Loves playful wrestling. He’s actually half decent at it, although there’s a 50/50 chance whether he wins and gets to wreck whoever he’s attacking, or if he gets obliterated

-Doesn’t rely on affectionate gestures like raspberries or nuzzling, but will 100% do them if it will make someone shriek

-His grip isn’t necessarily strong, but he’s like cling wrap. You could in theory pull him off, but then he’ll just stick to another part of your body

-Out of the bots, he tickles Bulkhead and Bumblebee the most. Arcee and Wheeljack are behind them because Arcee can be really intimidating to wreck and Wheeljack is a menace. He’s tried Magnus, Optimus, and Ratchet, but it hasn’t worked on any of them. That doesn’t mean he’ll give up

-As for the humans, it’s pretty evenly split. He might get Jack slightly more than Miko and Raf, but only because they get more chances to hang out

-Despite how clumsy he can be with tickling, which sometimes means being a little too rough, he’s really concerned with making sure he doesn’t go too far. He’ll bring people water/energon afterwards and rub their back if he’s worried he did too much

-Like Miko, also wonders if he could tickle a Decepticon. They have had discussions about this, to everyone’s dismay

Lee:

-Surprisingly, a bit of a giggly, panicky lee. He absolutely cannot take what he dishes out, although he’ll try very hard to pretend he can

-Thinks being tickled is really nice and fun, but he’s an Elite Guard, and therefore he must pretend to find it embarrassing. He’s bad at pretending

-Because he’s trying to keep up appearances, it can be a little hard for him to express when he’s had enough. Most people can tell though

-Most often tickled for being a little shit. Or as revenge. Frequently both. He does get comfort tickles though

-One of the most ticklish members of Team Prime and bad at hiding it. Rip.

-The spots under his ribs and the headlights(?) directly above his hips can make him scream. Worst spots, 100%

-His underarms and doorwings can make him laugh loudly or giggle, depending on how rough whoever’s getting him is being

-Audios and neck/chin make him giggly and melt

-Getting tickled nerfs him. He gets super weak and cannot fight back

-But he sure tries! He’ll try to squirm, roll, or crawl away, and will kick and push weakly, all while laughing his head off. Bulkhead has teased him by pausing tickling him and deliberately letting him try to escape. He couldn’t.

-Has a bit of a more high-pitched giggly laugh, even when he’s losing it. He’s slightly embarrassed about it, but not too much

-Squeaks and squeals a lot. Snorts are harder to get from him, but not impossible. He’s much more embarrassed by those

-Tries to threaten. Goes about as well as you’d expect, especially when his voice gets higher pitched the closer his attacker gets

-Like I said above, he is a yapper. He will definitely try to talk back, he will definitely try to talk smack, and again, this goes over about as well as you’d expect

-Will in fact stand his ground, even if it’s a bad idea. He believes in himself!! Maybe he won’t lose to Arcee for the eighth time in a row!!

-Only runs away if he wants to be chased. He’s still pretty young, he wants to be chased around sometimes. He’s also very fast

-Tries to hide how ticklish he is. Cracks in less than a second

-If he’s caught off-guard, he may shriek immediately, or at the very least squeal loudly. Finds this a little embarrassing

-As mentioned above, wrestling-match-turned-tickle-fight is one of his favorite things, but he loses half the time

-Provokes the other Autobots all the time, whether that be through tickling them first (most common) or annoying them on purpose

-Average sized for a Cybertronian, so he has no idea what to do if he gets picked up. Fall to pieces laughing ig

-Somewhat easy to overpower. He’ll fight back, sure, but once the tickling starts he’s a goner

-Soft tickles make him super giggly and melty. Can’t even pretend not to like it

-Rough tickles are somewhat more his style. He likes roughhousing

-Comfort tickles really make him melt. If he’s feeling bad enough, he may even try to hint at wanting them

-Gets super flustered while being wrecked. It’s completely unavoidable for him. He’ll still try to talk tough

-Lots of teasing works on him, but particularly teases that relate to parts of his life where he’s a bit cockier/perhaps a bit more insecure. Arcee frequently calls him “destiny’s child” while tickling him and it obliterates him

-Most frequently gotten by Jack out of the humans, mostly because they’ve had more time together. Miko and Raf are right behind Jack, though, because he has a similar attitude to tickling as Miko, and he tries to get Bee often enough that Raf will try to help

-Probably gets wrecked by Bee and Bulkhead most frequently, followed by Arcee. He’ll go after Bee and Bulk all the time, and would go after Arcee the same amount, but she is slightly intimidating. Has gotten wrecked by Wheeljack and Ratchet on more than one occasion, and the couple of times Optimus has tickled him are moments he treasures. He’s still not sure if that one time Magnus made him squeak while “investigating his posture” was intentional or not

-Would not openly admit to being ticklish. If someone asked him if he was he might unironically say “nuh uh”
