Now Iβm thinking of Sleuth trying to hang out with a forged newbuild younger than him but the new guy is mentally/emotionally a teenager. Sparklings childish compared to forged and constructed cold agemates until they reach final frame and itβs just a fact of life but am I correct to guess that Sleuth might take it personally?
Sleuth is aware of and has even seen newbuilds but Arcee is the first one he ever met, conversely Sleuth is the first sparkling Arcee has ever met. She and Blurr are twinsparks being cared for Ultra Magnus, him and Prowl arranged for the three to enter a sort of creche with other newsparks to help Sleuth socialize.
Sleuth couldn't help but feel insecure around the newbuilds, he's tiny and they're the same age as him mentally but way bigger. The size disparagy, Sleuth's vocal anxiety and his general shyness made it hard for him to befriend the bigger bots so the grown mechs found it better to wait until he's a little older before he can play with them.
