#oc kitsch

She gets a name for herself among front line fighters by being able to patch up at least minor injuries and keep them going long enough to get to an actual medic. But the war goes on and it comes to a point where they need more medics, so they give Kitsch a chance to learn in a somewhat official capacity. She's assigned Ratchet as her mentor and while she's warned he's not the easiest mentor to have he ends up taking to her quite well when she shows him the old datapad she'd read so many times.

Kitsch is a quick learner but it's still not an easy process. Many of the front line fighters never make it to the medibays so she's left seeing the names of bots she knew and fought with on the list of dead. They were so happy for her, but she never got the chance to help them the way she wanted to. Over the war her and Ratchet end up closer, moving from mentor and mentee to medical partners to more. There for each other when things get really bad.

Kitsch has far more distaste for Ultra Magnus than Ratchet does but is able to play nice considering he allowed her the chance to change paths and also he's sorta in charge of the Autobots. She's not afraid to tell him off, though, and at least in some ways that seems to get through to him a bit. (Though after a certain point his receptiveness to hearing such things is due to @terrahlee-cup 's lovely OC Lantana) She's angry about the treatment of the front line fighters. She's angry about Arcee's situation. And she's angry about everything surrounding Omega Supreme. Well, everything except Omega Supreme himself. None of it is his fault, and that's her son boy now.

After the war things cool down a lot and while she still carries old grudges towards Ultra Magnus she overall considers him a friend. And will be looking out for his dear daughter that he found in the trash /j.

As for Kitsch and Ratchet, while they get Conjunxed during the war they appreciate being able to settle down a bit. They have a sparkling of their own, Trollyjack, who tends to go with his carrier to work on fixing up Omega Supreme. Sometimes Kitsch brings him to work with her, though. Letting him play in the corner while she acts as the Autobot Boot Camp's head nurse. Sometimes it's an easy job, but she'd lived through Sentinel, Optimus and Elita's time there and then later Bee and Bulkhead's time. And got quite familiar with both groups.

Of course by the time the first trio came through Trollyjack was old enough to start some medical training himself and therefore wasn't around much. And by the time Bee and Bulkhead were there he's going though actual training, but will still swing by and visit her at work sometimes. It's a fairly peaceful life, and Kitsch is delighted when Omega Supreme is fixed enough to at least fly and Ultra Magnus assigns a crew so they can take him out. A simple enough retirement job for Ratchet and keeps OS moving a bit. (Even if it's not ideal for literally anyone else there.)

When they find the Allspark and disappear, Ultra Magnus breaking the news to Kitsch that her conjunx a mech she claims as her son have completely disappeared goes about as well as he expects. His desk is across the room despite having been bolted down. His chair is out the window plummeting to the ground. He's very apologetic about losing them and will be trying to find them.

Trollyjack

Green Humvee Army Ambulance/Green Cybertronian Ambulance

Ratchet and either Kitsch or Drift's (sometimes both's) sparkling, depending on the universe. A big bot with a bigger heart, he's as good at both taking bots apart as he is putting them back together. He's partially named after his uncle Wheeljack on account of his curious nature and the fact chaos seems to follow him wherever he goes. Rumor has it if he didn't have bad luck he'd have no luck at all, though that may just be his general clumsiness outside of the medibay.

Lightwave

Alt Mode: Velocitronian Racing Alt

ShockBlurr baby that luckily for her ended up not getting Shockwave's face, so when necessary it's easy enough for Blurr to pretend she isn't Shockwave's sparkling. It's harder to hide when she gets older, though. If the purple and strange battle mask didn't give her away, her passion for 'mad' science and her overzealous anime villainess personality make her other parent hard to hide.

Bouncer

Alt Mode: Fiat 500 Bicolor

The darling sparkling of Swerve and Red Alert. While her height sits solidly between her parents, she inherited Swerve's metallurgist servos (and crazy holomatter generator) and Red's super sensitive audials. She makes a fantastic security bot since little gets past her (if it does it's usually because she let it), but in her off hours she loves being a DJ for various establishments and events.

Rollover

Alt Mode: Red 4th Gen Toyota Hilux

Breakbee kid that both of them have given up on wrangling. Has an intense love of competing in Demolition Derbies, and would likely make a fantastic Stunticon. Despite all this she does have a good head on her shoulders when need be.

The Constructikids/Constructor

Osha (Forklift): The responsible one and leader of the group. She isn't immune to nonsense, but her highest priority is keeping everything up to safety codes. Makes up Constructor's head.

Dragline (Dragline Excavator): The leader when Osha's busy, and otherwise her second in command. He can be a bit of a hardass, but he has everyone's best interests at spark.

Dozer (Bulldozer): A really nice guy, if you can catch him while he's awake. True to his name, he can usually be found sleeping on the job… Or anywhere else he has the opportunity to.

Stonebiter (Drilling Rig) & Razorfist (Trencher): Dumb and Dumber. Thankfully together they make for a mostly functional bot, as they cover each other's weak spots. Despite this they still find themselves more at home as Lightwave's 'henchmen' whenever they aren't with their sibling gestalt.

Quarry (she can't transform yet, but will be like. A dodge charger or something idk): The Baby. Prowl and the Constructicons' youngest. Goes 'babababa' and likes to pull on kibble. Looks the most like Prowl so far, though, so they think she'll be a car like him. Often found with Dozer or one of the other two triplets.

Firefox

Alt Mode: Turbofox

Either a MiniRod or MiniMegaRod sparkling, depending on universe. An unfortunate combination of her parents, she can recite laws by spark and uses this to very carefully circumvent them (or at least to avoid getting caught). Can lock in when necessary, though.

Nic-U

Alt Mode: Spark Monitor

A very old bot who is a well-respected protoform caretaker. She is gentle and kind and wise, but for those who have the privilage to know her well (like her conjunx Starblaster or her protege Swerve) she is also deeply passionate and often very funny as well. Her stance against Functionism put a target on her back.

VC: Shohreh Aghdashloo

Starblaster

Alt Mode: Looks like a sailing ship that can fly.

Despite her name, she's a terrible shot. That didn't stop her from becoming a bodyguard for Nic-U and eventually her conjunx. She's bold and brash and can make terrible dad jokes with the best of them.

Torrent

Alt Mode: Blue Chevy Stingray

Bayverse Houndrift kid, and Tempest's split spark twin. Quick to start or join a fight, and her impulse control isn't quite there yet in general. Often getting in over her head and has to be bailed out of whatever situation she'd wound up in.

Tempest

Alt Mode: V-22 Osprey

Bayverse Houndrift kid, and Torrent's split spark twin. Fairly laid back most of the time, but if pushed enough can have an explosive temper. She is currently in training to be a medic, so despite being easily misidentified as a Decepticon most know to leave her be.
