YEAH HE IS. I wrote something with a cis female reader because uhhhhh because.

I know him and I love him for he is a little baby made of sunshine and KOBD goodness. Thank you! ❤ This one was inspired by how COLD it is...

"Are you warm enough? Sorry the tarp and space heater are all I have, I don't typically have to heat my garage..."

The bruiser of a bot hugged the heavy duty fabric more tightly around himself, then smiled softly at you, thankfully looking far less like a popsicle than he had when you'd first found him. Admittedly he actually looked rather adorable...

"I'm lots better now, thanks!" he said cheerily, surprising you with how energetic he'd become after warming up. The sight of his ice covered form collapsed in the snowy forest seemed a distant memory, despite having only been from that morning. You were certainly doing better yourself though, to be fair. How many people would be so relaxed after guiding a nearly frozen alien robot to thaw out in their garage? Not many, most likely.

Plopping down on a folding chair opposite your unexpected guest, you extended your boots to the heater to try and dry them out. "It's not supposed to get any better out there for the next few days, are you going to be okay until then?"

"Yeah! If you're okay letting me stay in your place, that is..." he replied, dipping off into a far less certain tone once he recalled his status as a guest. Smiling softly, you watched him tuck his head partially into the tarp like a bashful turtle, your heart stirring with affection for the gigantic being who'd stumbled into your life. Wildbreak might have been a powerful alien robot, but you knew he was as soft as could be at heart, and you had no intention of turning him back out into a blizzard. No matter what trouble might come of it.

"I'm not about to just turn you out into the cold."

"Gosh, you're awfully nice! Once I get back to the bots, I'll have to tell them how I made a new pal!" he replied eagerly, only to stop himself yet again upon thinking he'd overstepped. Big optics looked to you with all the caution of a towering, timid puppy. "Do you think we're pals?"

Bumblebee

-He was looking for you to see if you were willing to take over one of  Sideswipe’s patrolling duties, he found out that the mech skipped out on him again to probably go do something stupid Bee was sure, and he didn’t want to bother you since you have been doing everything he has asked you to do but he just really didn’t want to pull double shifts again as he can feel his back strut begin to ache from all the extra work he has had to put in because it was up to him to have to fill in the slack for the younger bot. He found you standing in front of Russell’s TV set watching some kind of dancing program where the dancers were dressed in strange onesies while twirling around in elegant circle, they were putting on a very coordinated show that was pretty interesting to see so he can see the appeal to watching the program as the humans looked very elegant dancing around like that. He had to cover his mouth from laughing though as there you were right in front of him, attempting to mimic and reenact everything that was on the television set, and he had to say that it was absolutely adorable that you would want to try and do that. He was the same way in his youth as he can remember trying to attempt things he saw on tv whenever he was alone in the base. You were, to put it mildly, doing a bad job at recreating the dancing as you kept twirling to fast and falling onto your aft while huffing in frustration as you just couldn’t seem to get it right. He also saw you knock over a shelf of Denny’s collectables when you stuck your leg out to far in an attempt to gain more traction, which that was the point he had to walk away or else he would burst out laughing- and he didn’t want to humiliate you like that. Maybe Strongarm can take over the extra patrol, you seemed to be busy “studying “Earth culture”, which was good that you wanted to learn so much about how different things were here compared to the way things work on Cybertron. New perspectives were always a good thing to have, it gave you chance to look at things with a more objective optic.

Sideswipe

-He kept calling out your name in a fruitless effort to look for you around the junkyard, he wanted to know if you would be his sparring partner for the day because everyone else was busy doing their own things- you were never busy and were always willing to be his punching bag, er, his sparring partner. It felt like he had spent to much time looking for you and was about to call it quits, until he saw something that he couldn’t believe was happening, Primus must have blessed him today. Oh man did he wish he had a recording device on him, you were watching the tv Russell had lying around so he can watch movies and cartoons, but that wasn’t what was on the screen at the current moment. It looked like some pansy ballroom fancy stuff as people were performing girly looking acts in onesies while doing strange moves while being on their toes twirling around. He didn’t see the appeal, but you clearly did, as you were attempting to follow along to the show while humming to yourself the tune of the song playing in the background. It wasn’t the fact that you were dancing that was funny, it was the fact that you were so terrible at it and kept falling over from trying to maneuver to fast or from tripping over your own two peds, he decided to skip the training as he wasn’t going anywhere now as he watched you from afar as he made sure to get his fill of this disaster train. It got so much better when you knocked over one of those ugly sculptures that was scattered around the junkyard and it hit the ground so hard you jumped like ten feet into the air and let out a yelp as you pulled out your blasters ready to attack whatever it was that snuck up on you. He was so glad the others were busy now, he would pay all the money in the world if he had to just to see you mess up again one more time.

Strongarm

-She took notice of the fact that some of your files inside the public records were incomplete and needed to be updated, it was very important for you to make sure all of your public information was correct in case something came up to where you had to prove your identity to the authorities or if you were badly injured and no one was there to help you the medics would need to know your frame number and all that good stuff to potentially save your life. Once she finally found you she noticed you were hidden away in one of the corners far of the junkyard that was pretty isolated and quiet, she was also intrigued by the fact that when she found you staring into the screen of that old tv Russel had hooked up so he can keep up with his shows when he had the time, she saw you were se entranced and enthralled by what was on the flashing screen. It was one of those dance programs that aired during the day that showed everyone the proper way to perform these dances in simple and easy to follow steps, and as soon she was about to pull you out of your stupor to get you to fill out paperwork with her, she stopped dead in her tracks as she saw you begin to attempt the dances that were happening on the screen. Oh Primus, you weren’t doing it very well either, she winced every time you fell over and gave out a little yelp of pain one you hit the ground a little harder than she would have liked to see. Why do that to yourself? It got so much worse when you accidentally launched the pistol that was loosely attached to your hip in a random direction during one of your little twirls and it went off when it hit the ground basically destroying some things that Denny thought were important enough to keep on a high shelf away from all the chaos that happens on the ground. She is just going to walk away and pretend she never saw any of that, it was embarrassing enough for her to see and experience, she didn’t want to make you feel ashamed for trying to engage in human culture. She knows what it’s like to try and fit in, and well, practice makes perfect. You can update your records some other time as she put it on her list of things to do tomorrow rather than on her list of things that need to get done today.

Grimlock

-He was bored and he had no one that wanted to be in his company today, he has seemed to surpass his threshold of annoying everyone around him within the past 24 hours and it made him feel a little isolated and lonely. You seemed to like his company no matter how many times he seemed to mess things up in front of you, and it was good thing considering that you two were almost one in the same when it came to the levels of clumsiness. It was nice to have someone who understood how hard it was to be seen as a villain when all you wanted to do was smash stuff and be a dinobot- well, you weren’t a dinobot, but it was the same concept! He thunked around heavily looking around for you with a sad expression on his face, and kind of got worried when he couldn’t find you right away in your normal hang out spots, and so the first thing that came running through his processor was what if you were kidnapped in the middle of the night and no one knew because they were all to busy to notice?! Once he spotted you though he let out a breath of relief as he came to halt from running around in big circles, it was then that he witnessed you doing some crazy moves that he had never seen before. He saw that blinky box that played movies and cartoon whenever it was turned on, only this time it had people twirling around like you were trying to twirl around, only they weren’t falling on their afts when they performed their moves. He saw you getting frustrated and decided that this was something he can help you with, so he called your name to look over at him so he can really show you how to twirl around on the tips of your peds, to which you nearly screamed at being caught doing something so embarrassing, but that all melted away when you saw Grimlock attempt to twirl like the ballerinas on your show. He failed just as badly as you did, and as his tail whipped around and hit a shelf of things that just went crashing down into a giant mess of broken shards and rusty metal, you couldn’t help but laugh at how uncoordinated he was. Is that what you looked like doing this? You had to admit that it was pretty funny being the outsider looking it, so it’s ok that he was spying on you, at least for now it was- if he did it again he was going to be nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.

Yes indeed! The first that come to mind are several of the “Arms Microns” created by Takara to go with the Transformers Prime toys, who turned into the characters’ signature weapons from the show. Choppy-slicey ones include R.A., who turned into Ratchet’s blade:

Arc, who became Arcee’s blade:

Wuji, who turns into one of Wheeljack’s swords:

And Giza, who turns into one of Optimus Prime’s blades:

There are a few other “non-show” blade weapons like axes and scythes among the Arms Microns too, you can check out the list!

Outside of them, there’s Power Core Combiners Chopster, who turns into an axe:

And the Robots in Disguise 2015 Weaponizer Mini-Cons include among their number Buzzstrike, an axe:

And Lancelon and Windstrike, both swords:

Some Arms Micron also inhabit the less-hacky, more-stabby end of bladed weaponry, becoming spears and lances, as does Weaponizer Sawtooth, who becomes a trident:
