This post reminded me of something I thought of a while ago: the Terrans discovering they can eat human food and proceeding to make it everyone’s problem.
Twitch: can and will eat anything you give her. Is very glad her size means she can eat human sized portions and uses this to her advantage. Local restaurant kitchens think she’s adorable and happily feed her.
Thrash: isn’t 100% keen on solid food, really likes drinks and soups. Is not to be trusted with coffee. Uses a soup spoon for everything he can.
Nightshade: strong preference for fruit and vegetables, surprisingly the most likely to raid the fridge. Regular appearance at the local farmers market. Made their own cutlery.
Jawbreaker: naturally the Terran named after a kind of candy has a preference for sweets himself. Easily bribed. Too big for cutlery so he improvises with a pair of tongs and a ladle.
Hashtag: Schloder feels like he should be concerned about mechanical lifeform enjoys meat so much (he is ignored by everyone but the cons). Doesn’t even bother with cutlery, eats with her hands or faceplants into the bowl
Alex Malto finds the challenge of cooking meals with large enough proportions for all his kids to be thrilling. Dot admires his commitment. The autobots and decepticons (because I am ignoring s2&3) have mixed feelings about this.
The scientists are fascinated and have interviewed the kids multiple times. MegOp are happy for them, but neither of them can watch Hashtag eat without feeling a little queasy. The cassettes keep feeding Twitch stuff to see if she can eat it (9 times outta 10 she can). The seekers keep stealing food to give to them (Feed the Sparklings instincts + hunter gatherer instincts = Dot having several long conversations with Starscream)
Breakdown once spotted Hashtag hunched over a bowl of something. BD couldn’t see what it was since it was dark. He called out to her, curious, and she turned around. All he could see was red-bloody flesh looking stuff all over her face and he assumed the worst. Ran away screaming so loud he’d have put Starscream to shame. When Bee came to investigate, BD murmured something about Hashtag and Flesh eating…. She was eating bolognese.
So far that’s all I’ve got 🤷🏻
I saw this and immediately imagined the cassettes robbing a fast food place or something and just handing Twitch things like this is one of those "here's some weird shit we bought online :D" videos on YouTube
