I feel like I should draw these three. I mean, I have before on YouTube [here] but I mean full on color/shade drawing them.

I love these three because unlike some of the Transformers films they actually help even though they’re just kids. Most of the time, the humans either interfere TOO much or do TOO little to help the bots in these films. I feel like TF Prime was a miscellanea of both. Let me explain.

Little headcanon/ramble:

Miko:

Like, yeah I know Miko had a tendency to always run away after they told her to stay put but eventually she learned. I feel like she’s the wildcard of the group, spunky with a fiery spirit which she then channeled into fighting (Predaking, Starscream and Hardshell, even though it was out of revenge and not really protecting anyone). She still somehow had her spark after all that craziness with Bulky nearly dying (That scene broke me I love Bulkhead he’s my favorite bot in TFP 😢), and him losing his memory temporarily a little before. Some people would call her annoying, but I really like her as a character.

She’s the counterbalance to Jack and Raphael’s rational minds, because why not have a comedic relief character in the mix? And one that actually has personality and one whose sole purpose is not just to pop up when needed. Not to mention Miko’s sass:

“How do you know it’s not a recipe for space nachos?”

“Big whoop. I snuffed Hardshell.”

“We’re supposed to be at a rock concert but all I can see is rock.”

Jack:

We all know that Jack is literally the tired co-parent of the group who sometimes acts like his mama (She’s the same way lol). Sure, he had to learn responsibility from an early age, (When Miko pulled up to his house after he left the Autobots and he mentioned being raised to be responsible to his family system.)

Optimus even trusted him with the Key. Optimus trusted him to teach Smokescreen about traffic laws. Jack also had some hiccups, too like when he asked Raphael to borrow Bee to impress Sierra, which lead to Vince’s kidnapping. IMO, Jack isn’t “basic” as some people say I just think people feel that way since he kind of started off as the “mature one” and that led people to think he couldn’t further develop. He’s made mistakes and learned just like everyone else has.

I believe he helped Arcee through some of her traumas and fears, and maybe, just maybe she sees him as her own? Optimus also treated Jack like some kind of student/son. I think it’s really sweet that they’re willing to step in and take some of the load off Jack’s shoulders while at the same time acknowledging that he can fend for himself in some aspects. (Someone give this dude a soda he tired.)

Raphael:

Raph is the little guy that everyone adores, smart for his age, can hack into databases that most adults cannot fathom of hacking into themselves. They adore him so much so even Optimus had a crash out when he was poisoned by Megatron’s blast. And it takes a LOT to make OP himself crash out. Don’t mess with the little guy. (VALID CRASHOUT I WAS READY TO THROW SOME HANDS TOO…👊🏾💥👊🏾💥) OP literally saying “Come fight me” or something along those lines when he infiltrated the Nemesis ✋🏾😭

And the Snowball scene awwwwww! (He never got a snowball but OP put the offer on the table. But still…) I really liked his bond with Bumblebee and Ratchet since he mentioned having a big family when Ratchet stated that Bee couldn’t hear him while being put under so that kind of gives me the idea that the little guy doesn’t get much attention, so Ratch kind of took him under his wing, teaching him more about coding and tech.

Bee, I think is more like a big brother for Raph, not really mentor material but responsible enough to look out for him when needed. We all even saw how sad Raph was after Soundwave kidnapped Ratchet, I feel for him because it’s almost like having a parental figure stripped from you. I have reason to believe that Raph doesn’t feel overlooked when he’s with Team Prime because even through they’re fighting an intergalactic war they still make time to tend to the children’s needs.

So, in conclusion, I really love these three and I think they were a good addition to the series. I wanted to reside among giant metal titans who would protect you from anything lol (Kid me thought it would be so cool). I need a giant robot friend. But anyways…
