Twitch is small enough to just sit on Wheeljack's shoulder or hang of his back like a baby koala. At some point she even learn how sleep in this position so now Dad2 can work in the lab while she is taking a nap
Grimlock either picks Jawbreaker piggyback style or let him ride on his back when Grim is in his alt mode (also sometimes Swoop just... swoops down, picks JB by shoulders and flies off while Grimlock just stan there like đŠ the frag am I suppose to do now?)
Tarantulas walks on his spider legs while carring Nightshade around, this way he can walk on uneven ground and climb while the kid can rest (Prowl is somehow balancing on his back, servo streached out in a "Onward" position. No one is brave enough to tell him it does not looks as cool as he thinks)
Hashtag is a little sad that she isn't as small as her siblings and she can't be carry around like the rest of them. Her height and weight don't not stop Starscream from still picking her up anyway when she complain about being tired. He even tried flying with her on his back (later, after they find Skyfire frozen in ice, Sky just picks her up like it's nothing, he is strong enough to far throw mechs twice as tall as Hashtag after all. In fact he is so strong, he can just let her hang of his shoulders while he is carring Starscream bridal style)
Swindle just picks Thrash by an ankle and hang him over his shoulders like a sack of dirty laundry, energon cube in the other hand, zero frag given. Thrash actually like this because now all of his energon is flowing down to his head and therefor his thinking should improve (it does not)

I just think that the chaos terrans' revival is a very neglected part of s3 in the Earthspark side of the fandom, and I've been curious about how the dynamics change afterwards.
I NEED TO GIVE THE CHILDREN REDEMPTION ARCS. THE CHAOS TERRANS DESPERATELY NEED REDEMPTION ARCS.
"oh but they were violent/rude/bratty" nobody's born evil, and worse mecha have been given a second chance. I genuinely think that, in the right environment and with the right support, the chaos terrans could flourish, and their revival just HAS to lead to interesting situations with them living with the Maltos and/or the autobots for a more extended period of time. Interesting situations in general with the lack of current DHC and the main group of decepticons.
There's interesting conflict, and interesting team-ups, and the consequences. OHHHOHOH the consequences. Also personal consequences in general for their deaths and subsequent revivals, maybe even a change in Spitfire and Aftermath's dynamic in these new circumstances.
There's some really genuine scenes between Twitch and Spitfire that you can accomplish in a post s3 au, and I'm just plain curious about Aftermath's possible interactions with Grimlock!!
Plus, complicated dynamics with Starscream!! Everyone and their brother nowadays has an Earthspark Starscream redemption arc, but I feel like it's really really necessary here to acknowledge that any Starscream redemption arc is going to be messy and as full of roadblocks & setbacks as it is going to be full of kinder moments and him trying to be better. And I think that ties into Spitfire and Aftermath's own redemption arcs in such nice ways!!
Because, yeah!! There will be hard feelings!! He DID kill them, of his own volition, as part of a greater plan! There's fun conflict and fun arcs there, especially considering where we left off with Starscream in the end of s3 and the circumstances of his isolation/imprisonment in Terratronus's helm.
I have feelings about the chaos terrans and, for as big of a part they were in s2 and s3's ending, they are so underutilized in the fandom. And the dynamics between the kids could be fun; the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Bot Buddy the Autobot whoâs unexpected Conjux is Soundwave
SFW, mentions of injury but not specified, platonic, romantic, Cybertronian/ Bot reader
TFE
Autobot Buddy and Soundwave were Conjux Endura shortly before the war broke out, they never made the relationship public. There was too much at risk, especially when tensions on both sides heightened.
Tension between them both rose when discussing which side was better to side with.
âWhat will it be then? Its clear we both canât agree on a side. What do we do?â--Soundwave
â⊠we join different sides.â--Buddy
âWhat?â--Soundwave
âWe join different sides.â--Buddy
âYes I heard that butââ--Soundwave
âWe do that. We pick a side in the war. We stay alive for each other and when someone win, we vouch for the other to come join peacefully.â--Buddy
ââŠit sounds like a good planâŠbut what about Us, Buddy? Iâm concern on what will happen to Us in this war.â--Soundwave
âDonât worry. We will be fine, as long as we have the bond, as long as we have each other alive, we will be fine. Just take care of yourself and the miniâs, can you do that?â--Buddy
âI will andâŠI trust you Buddy⊠I love you so much, my Spark.â
âI love you too Soundwave⊠Now and beyond the Allspark.ââBuddy
Buddy went off and joined the Autobotâs and Soundwave and the miniconâs joined the Decepticonâs. Never once telling anyone of their relationship, they promised each the other their safety and they were going to keep it.
Soundwave had set up a private link between them to keep in contact.
âHeyâŠâ--Buddy
âHelloâŠâ--Soundwave
âHow was work today? Are you feeling, okay?â--Buddy
âWork was⊠adequate⊠and yours?â--Soundwave
âThings are getting harder Iâm not going to lie⊠I miss youâŠâ--Buddy
ââŠI miss you tooâŠâ--Soundwave
âTell Buddy I said hi!â--Frenzy
âFrenzy!â--Soundwave
âTell them we all miss them!â--Lazerbeak
âLazerbeak enoughââ--Soundwave
ââŠâ--Ravage
ââŠâ--Soundwave
ââŠFrenzy, Lazerbeak and Ravage say helloâŠâ--Soundwave
It got harder to keep contact as the war grew longer, especially when both factions came to Earth. Suddenly it was just radio silence from Soundwave. Buddy was upset and concern at the lack of radio response but there was nothing they could do now without drawing too much attention to the both.
âHey Soundwave? Are you listening? Things have gotten out of control at HQ⊠its almost funnyâŠâ--Buddy
A few days laterâŠ
âSoundwave? Are you here? Listen can you give me some sort of sign that your okay? Are the miniâs okay? Please answer as soon as you can.â--Buddy
A few days laterâŠ
âSoundwave⊠please⊠any sound would do⊠please just let me know youâre okay⊠love you, now and beyond the AllsparkâŠâ--Buddy
Buddy meets the Terrans and Maltos and they are both delighted and horrified that thereâs literal sparklingâs running around with other children in a sketchy base.
âBuddy these are the Maltos and the Terrans I was talking to you about.â--Optimus
âHi!â--Terrans and Maltos
ââŠPrime, Megatron, Elita-One⊠Mind explaining to me why there are literal Sparklings running around!?--Buddy
âWellââ--Megatron
âYou know what I donât. Câmere kids let me introduce myself.â--Buddy
They donât trust GHOST at all and refuse to wear a GHOST badge. Buddy wears their Autobot badge proudly. They agree with Megatron in advocating for better treatment of âprisonersâ. Itâs one of the few things they can agree on.
âThis isnât right. Even if they are Decepticonâs, they donât deserve to be treated like this.â--Buddy
âI agree. Something needs to be done about this.â--Megatron
ââŠCanât believe I just agreed with you on something.ââBuddy
Besides agreeing to protect Dot and her family at all costs. They try to visit the Terrans and Maltos as much as possible. It was such a regular occurrence that they got their own bunk in the Dugout.
âKids? Whatâs all this?â--Buddy
âSurprise!ââTerrans and Maltos
âWoah! Whatâs is this?â--Buddy
âWell, youâve been coming over so much and staying almost regularly now. We all decided to make you your own place here!â--Robie
Yeah, now you donât have to go back to the base and we can have even more sleepovers!â--Mo
ââŠââBuddy
âDo you not like it?â--Thrash
ââŠâ--Buddy
âMaybe itâs the color?ââNightshade
ââŠâ--Buddy
âNo canât be that.â--Twitch
âMaybe it needs another pillow?â--Jawbreaker
ââŠâ--Buddy
âHow about another family portrait?â--Hashtag
âWait guys hold it.â--Robie
âBuddy? Are you cryingââ--Mo
âTHIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE NICEST THINGS ANYONE HAS DONE IN A LONG TIME! I LOVE YOU ALL!!ââBuddy
Things were going great for Buddy. Enough to occupy their mind from the pain in their spark. One mission got them hurt really bad. They refused to go to GHOST for medical attention.
âIâd rather have Starscream scream in my audials for an hour than set a foot near GHOST.â
Now they were at the Dugout fighting to stay conscious. Due to the power of plot convenience, they need a jumpstart their spark, which would be possible if they werenât bonded. Being bonded meant that the other that was bonded would have to jump them with a shock through their spark bond. Which would be great but Buddy wonât tell.
âWheeljack what needs to happen? I feel like Iâm dying here.â--Buddy
âDying!?ââMo/Robie
âWrong choice of words. My bad kids.â--Buddy
âWell since youâre bonded, that means that your Sparkmate need make the jump with you. So now the only thing we need to know is the Sparkmate.â--Wheeljack
ââŠYeah thatâs not going to happen.â--Buddy
âWhat?â--Wheeljack
âBuddy, did you understand what Wheeljack said? You are going to die if your Sparkmate doesnât come an do the jump. We donât know who it is, you need to tell us!â--Dot
ââŠsorry DotâŠbut like I said, thatâs not going to happen.â--Buddy
Buddy made a dumb promise but they are sure going to keep the last thing they had with Soundwave. Optimus, Bumblebee, Arcee, Grimlock, and Elita are trying to remember if Buddy had mentioned their Conjux before in their ranks.
âLets see⊠Ironhide?â--Optimus
âNope.â--Bumblebee
â⊠Cliffjumper?ââElita-One
âNo.â-- Bumblebee
âMaybe its Jazz.â--Grimlock
âNo.ââBumblebee
âGears? Ratchet?ââArcee
âNo cant be either of them.â--Bumblebee
âOkay then whatâs your idea then?â--Arcee
ââŠProwl?â--Bumblebee
âNO!ââOptimus/Elita/Grimlock/Arcee
Wheeljack and Megatron are trying to look through the database of Teletran 1 for any alternative to the medical procedure.
Meanwhile the Terrans are trying to tend to every need Buddy has to the best of their ability.
Robbie and Mo are at both sides of Buddyâs head rubbing it softly as they wince from time to time from the pain.
âCâmon Buddy. Canât you just tell us?â--Robie
âPlease Buddy. Please?â--Mo
âSorryâurghâkiddos. No can do.â--Buddy
Itâs Alex who brings up the possibility of Buddyâs Conjux not being an Autobot at all.
âI mean what if Buddyâs significant other isnât an Autobot at all? What if they are human or a Decepticon? Relationship between factions have definitely happened before right?â--Alex
Thereâs silence and its being considered. Buddy groaning in pain breaks the silence. Megatron heavily considers it, suddenly wondering how many of his own troops entered interfraction relationships.
âNo, theyââ--Megatron
Suddenly remembers Deadlock and how he would always single out Ratchet in many battles.
ââŠYou know it might be possibleâŠâ--Megatron
Megatron asks Hashtag to send a specific message through a cryptic frequency and starts heading out of the Dugout. Dot, Optimus, and Bumblebee follow him, meanwhile the rest stayed to monitor and look for other cures just in case.
Megatron, Dot, Optimus, and Bumblebee reached a clearing a bit far from the house. Not a moment too soon, Soundwave came into view and transformed in front of them deploying Frenzy, Ravage and Lazerbeak standing their ground. The Autobots reach for their weapons, but Megatron tells them to lower them and takes a step forward towards Soundwave.
âSoundwave.â--Megatron
âMegatron. What is the meaning of this traitor?â--Soundwave
âWe need your help.â--Megatron
âGive me one good reason to help you.â--Soundwave
âFor old time sake, one favor.â--Megatron
ââŠWhat is it?â--Soundwave
âWe need to know any Decepticonâs who have Conjux Enduraâsââ--Megatron
âThat is out of the question. You do not have the right to know about their affairs.â--Soundwave
âSo, you do know?ââMegaton
âOf course, but I will not tell you.â--Soundwave
âSoundwaveââ--Optimus
âSave it Prime!â--Frenzy
Soundwave turns to leave with his minicons, which is when Dot snaps. She wasnât about to lose a dear friend like this, no not like this.
âBuddyâs dying!ââDot
This statement stops the Decepticonâs right in their tracks.
âListen, they donât have much time. They got hurt real bad last mission. They need their Conjux to help them with the medical procedure.â--Dot
 âWe donât know who they are Soundwave. Buddy will not tell us who they are. I will not lose anymore bots when we have a fighting chance. Right now, you are our only way of finding them. Without your help they are going to die.ââ Optimus
âSoundwave we wouldnât be asking you for anything if it werenât dire. We donât have the luxury of time because that is something Buddy doesnât have right now! So, are you going to help or not?ââBumblebee
The miniâs are looking at their boss in some sort of desperation before Soundwave transforms and agrees to help.
Everyone was ready to move to another location but were surprised when Soundwave asked where Buddy was. Thatâs when the other realized the shocking truth. Soundwave was Buddyâs Conjux.
They arrive at the Dugout and enter its doors. The Terrans are immediately on guard seeing Soundwave, especially when Buddy yelps in pain squeezing their optics close not knowing who was in the room.
âFreeze!â--Twitch
âCalm down he is here to help Buddy.â--Megatron
âWhat so is heââ-- Thrash
âYes.ââMegatron
Soundwave had never felt so much regret of not contacting his Conjux for so long than that moment. He calls to them, this causes Buddyâs optics to snap open in disbelief.
âBuddyâŠâ--Soundwave
ââurghâSoundwave?ââBuddy
The miniâs came out and started shooing everyone out of the room. Wheeljack gives Soundwave quick instructions on how to do the jump starting before also exiting the room.
Now itâs just Buddy and Soundwave
Soundwave is getting the equipment ready when Buddy calls him over and apologizes for bringing him here where he and the miniâs could get captured. Soundwave finishes setting up the equipment and grabs Buddyâs servo as the process began.
âIâm sorryââ--Buddy
âI apologizeââ--Soundwave
âYou can go first.â--Soundwave
âIâm sorry for getting you into this mess, you and the miniâs.â--Buddy
âApology not needed. I should be the one apologizing. If Iâd had known⊠If I had kept in contactâŠâ--Soundwave
ââŠCan we just forgive each other? I donât want my last moments here to be just pointless apologizes on childish things we both did.â--Buddy
âYouâre not going to die. Not when I have a say in it, my spark. I⊠I missed you, my spark.â--Soundwave
âI love you too, now and beyond the Allspark.ââBuddy
They both begin talking and catching up on some things. Before they knew it, the procedure had finished, and Buddy was going to make a full recovery.
After the procedure was done, they both walked out servo in servo. The miniâs as it turned out had told the Team a bit about their relationship.
âYeah, so one time Soundwave thought it was a good idea to fly with Buddy around sunset. But he didnât know thatââ--Lazerbeak
âLazerbeak.â--Soundwave
âSoundwave! Buddy!ââFrenzy
Everyone there was shocked by the story, but they eventually got over the shock. The longest one to come out of the shock is Megatron. He feels guilty and so blind. How could he not have seen this coming, especially from Soundwave?
Soundwave lets Buddy have one more squeeze before getting the miniâs in his chest compartment. He turns to leave, but he stopped after hearing Dotâs voice.
âYou can stay the night here? I think it would be good for Buddy if they knew you were here.â--Dot
âAnd if you are worried about GHOST, their radar doesnât come by here. Itâs perfectly safe.ââMegatron
He pauses for a minute. Looks back at Buddy and then the setting sun. one night wouldnât hurt, right? He turns to Megatron stating that if this was a trap, that there would not be a planet he could go to hide from him. With that he swooped in and carried Buddy bridal style and marches into the Dugout as he deployed his mini cons to have fun on the farm.
Meanwhile Soundwave and Buddy cuddled on one of the medical slabs all night long.
