Itās about the FLAVOR! First Aid barely looking at photographs when he scavenges, and he doesnāt want to scavenge houses but theyāre so versatile with what they might have, and the risk of attacks is so low compared to a store. Just donāt look. Donāt look at the walls, or at the beds. And when you have to, itās a mercy killing. Itās euthanasia. Everyone has the right to die, he tells himself. Itās his job now.
Vortex doesnāt even care. He thinks the houses are the best; the stories he can come up with for people inside. And Onsalught is practical and says the risks of scavenging a store outweigh the cons, guaranteeing what you need will be there versus not. Brawl doesnāt care either way. He thinks, Vortex is a little too into the houses. He thinks. But what does he really care? Theyāre all dead now. Just donāt find things you donāt want to see.
Swindle knows spots to go. He likes going for groups of people, really, they have the best to offer, and if you sweet talk em you donāt even need to rob them, theyāll just let themselves be scammed. He likes letting these groups propagate: let them multiply, let his hauls be even more fruitful. And Blast Off- he doesnāt really scavenge. He tends to stay away, fights instead, doesnāt want to think too hard about the insides of these houses or the cars in the parking lots. He doesnāt really care, but if he thinks too long, he might end up caring a little. Cant afford that.

Link to a poll for reactions to getting bitten by a zombie above, and I figured Iād send it your way because it makes really good brain material for thinking about what our poor survivors might do in such a terrible situation.
I gave some simple answers for Combaticons/First Aid in a separate post but Iād love to hear your thoughts on it, if you had any. Bonus points if youāre like ācharacter x wouldnāt do any of the above, theyād do thisā etc etc honestly no wrong answers but I love the endless potential. Also, you probably already know this, but any and all characters you wanna study for this would be great, Iām down for anything. Just love your zombie au thoughts ngl.
Ok I spent a few days thinking about this one. And obviously Iām going to go with First Aid first because of course I will.
Drawing inspiration from Delphi, the infected patients pose no threat as we know. Aside from wandering around maybe, and dying. First Aid isnāt shown to be very affected by this- both literally and metaphorically. And even before he found out he was āimmuneā, he and Ambulon took on the burden of care for those infected. (Meanwhile, Pharma- KNOWING exactly how this disease worked, how it infects, how it triggers, what it does to you- hid.). It speaks a lot to how First Aid is. The same sort of, self sacrifice and care and firm badassary without meaning to.
So First Aid would logically get infected in the zombie au. If it was any sort of real life scenario. Maybe heās a carrier for the disease actually. But, he absolutely would realize heās infected when heās bitten. Even if itās a scenario where only 99% of bites lead to zombification, he would treat it as 100%. He would never risk anyoneās life for even the idea that maybe he could survive.
If heās fast enough, I can see him severing his own limb. Otherwise, he doesnāt tell anyone. He is infected and heās going to die, and so he quietly leaves one day under some pretense. He still has one last thing to give everyone else, and thatās hope; hope that heās okay, and heās alive out there, even if heās dead and he knows heās dead. He gives them that hope. And he goes to die alone.
Vortex never really saw much of a big deal on zombies. āTurningā into one isnāt a change, in his eyes, itās just sort ofā¦ a logical conclusion to his life, he thinks. Any life. Itās not so bad. You live forever, probably, youāre never hungry, you donāt even kill each other- only the guys you want to. And that doesnāt seem so bad. So if heās infected, heās the wild card that might not tell anyone, or might tell everyone. Who knows what he does.
Swindle blames someone else. He likes his family, but uh, hey, come on, him? Infected? Thereās a 1% survival chance too, and heās got all these meds stockpiled; come on, as if heād die? You donāt really believe that, right? And heās not even infected; it was someone else. Someone else got bitten. He wasnāt bitten, he was scratched. This even his blood. This is just a bruise. Donāt look under his sleeve.
Brawl doesnāt have much feelings of sorrow about the thing. If it was later on in the apocalypse, heād be remorseful, and even scared. But early on, itās justā¦ well, thatās that then. Heāll go down fighting. He tells everyone, and then goes out and kills as many zombies as he can before he dies to.
Onslaught is also a contender for chopping off his own limb. Though, this isnāt like First Aid, who knows medicine and knows where to cut, how to cut, what to do; this is, grab a knife, and cut. Of course heād tell the group. But only because he isnāt going to die. Heās the guy whoās not in denial, he absolutely believes he can beat this infection. The person who fights anesthesia before surgery. That kind of guy. Sort of a flipped mirror of First Aid too; where thereās life, thereās hope.
Blast Off tells a few people. Maybe only one, even. He doesnāt want to die, but heās- heās realistic. Itās terrifying, isnāt it? To suddenly realize your mortality. He doesnāt want to die. But maybe thatās all he can do now. He tries to hold it off, but it doesnāt work; and the group canāt decide what to do with him. He asks First Aid, in the end, to help him out. He doesnāt want to die as a zombie; he wants to die human. So Blast Off spends the last day alive with his family, shooting zombies from afar. Before he, quietly, turns in and does the same to himself. First Aid will lie and say he died in his sleep.
