#protection protocol

Autobot leader, last of the primes, and caretaker of Hornet

close ups and head shots

I had a little trouble designing her to her description in the story but thankfully bay-verse Optimus helped me out in the end, also some extra photos of her face cause she just pretty, keep in mind Optimus is more boxy then anything. and little Hornet is to scale to her I checked hight comparison for the right size.

Working in a storage depot was not unlike working in the archives or the Hall of Records. She had a cargo manifest she could reference for the amount of items and their location, although it did take her a moment to decipher the Decepticon’s odd numerical and glyph system. Wandering down the aisles she stopped now and then to inspect the storage crates full of items. As she checked off the first few that needed inspection without a hitch she smiled to herself. It was a surprisingly relaxing task. Or, maybe not so surprising considering her previous life.

Moving on she frowned down at the manifest and stopped in front of a crate. The items were medical in nature, sedatives she was fairly certain. The manifest stated they were all accounted for but something seemed wrong with the weight. Tapping on the screen of the dataslate she looked over the readout again. The numbers just weren’t adding up.

Setting the dataslate down on a shelf nearby she pulled the crate out onto the floor with a grunt. Checking the seal she didn’t find anything too out of place… but her instinct was telling her that something was wrong here. She should go ask-

“What’cha doin with th’crate, Autobot?” A voice growled directly behind her.

Startling she felt her battlemask slide into place as she prepared for some kind of attack. A moment later she put her battlemask away and smiled a little sheepishly up at the quartermaster.

had some trouble with her face shape but she still came out cute. and of corse the silver base and old color variant I based it of the g1 color pallet due to IDW having many variations of his color pallet in the comics.

Autobot scientist, and member of the Wreckers.

Because of no known outlier abilities, you get a simple demonstration about how the sub space, I think work.

Walking Aria to the canteen, her deep blue optics focused more on him that on their surroundings, he felt a sense of pride for having caught her attention so thoroughly. When they left the storage depot he could feel Quartermain’s optics staring a hole in his armor but hadn’t turned to acknowledge the look. It was the Elder’s job to vet the potential bond. He would trust the old mech to judge whether or not Aria would be worthy.

Entering the canteen he was forced to stop when Aria froze in place. The optics of every warrior were trained on the femme with the Autobot insignia. Standing next to her he could see the faint trembling in her finials. At first he wondered if it was fear but discarded the thought quickly. Not only had she fought him to the ground but she was there with his express permission. There was no reason for her to fear. Seeing her clench her servo at her side he realized she was battling with her own defensive protocols.

“They would not dare attack you, I have ordered them to stand down. They would be fools to disobey my orders within my direct line of sight.” He reassured her. At the same time he looked over the femme’s helm at his Decepticons. Moving slowly where she could see him, he placed a servo against her back and glowered balefully at every mech in the canteen. It was a possessive response but also a protective one. It was an unspoken claim that he would fight at her side in her defense.
