Your metal friend is upset. Their giant frame looms over you even as they sit balled up next to you, yet they've never looked smaller. There's something oddly human about how they sniffle into their knees. It tugs on your heart strings in a familiar way, much like how you'd feel around another human if they were crying.

You've seen other Cybertronians comfort one another after battles; but they either speak in their mother tongue or they don't speak at all, which probably means they're communicating through their EM fields or comming each other. Still, you're determined to help.

Shuffling closer, you embrace around a section of your friend's giant forearm and lean your head against the cool metal. Just like you would with a fellow human (minus the metal). Their plating shudders lightly in response and you nuzzle closer, shutting your eyes as you try to give the best hug you can right now.

Unbeknownst to you - as you have no control over it - your EM field hugs them alongside you. A powerful, vibrant wave of understanding despite not being able to communicate in half the ways Cybertronians can. Who knew so much care and compassion could be loaded into such a small, fleeting creature?

It’s covered a lot more on screen than in fan works I think (The primary plot of Bumblebee is literally Charlie looking after him and I think that’s part of why it’s the best of the movies) but I want it to have more presence in fan works.

We’re honestly kinda perfectly built to administer repairs and such since we’re so much smaller, and if everyone learnt at least the basics of car maintenance then theoretically we would all be able to perform at least basic first aid on transformers. A number of trades could double as doctors for Cybertronians.

Aside from that, it’s kinda just part of human nature to look after others. As nervous as some would be to have an organic creature poking around their internal components, they couldn’t deny we’d be incredibly efficient medics.

Initially, Ratchet wouldn’t let you anywhere near the medbay, but when he sees how quickly you can fix up your car, and without needing to take it apart to reach the hidden parts, you become an irreplaceable asset. Injuries that would’ve previously required invasive surgeries now suddenly have much faster heal times as well as better success, because you’re small enough to get to places a transformer’s hands can’t reach without moving stuff out of the way.

Humans would also become respected field medics as a result, with how quickly and easily we can administer repairs. Maybe perhaps too effective, as I’m sure this efficiency just might allow some of the more soft hearted individuals to extend their help beyond just the Autobots…

Medical aspects aside, there’s also aesthetic maintenance. I can see it quickly becoming a very deep bonding activity for a human to wash, paint, or buff their closest bot friends. It would quickly become like a badge of honor, many bots flaunting how their humans trust them and care about them enough to look after them in such ways. Perhaps some arguments break out over who’s human is the better painter.

There would of course be those who are too shy or don’t care to talk about it, but you’d notice them standing a little taller still.

Even for some Decepticons—the ones who wouldn’t just outright squish people—it’s a cherished gesture. They’ve caused so much damage, and still this fragile little organic cares enough to buff out their scratches. This little organic, who by all means should hate them, cares enough to repair them and make them look nice.

This is where some cons may or may not start caring for some humans. Unconfirmed.

❥ Hi everyone! 👋🏽 Considering it’s been awhile since I’ve written anything on here, I came up with these while on a break! They’re inspired by my other mini headcanons, but they don’t follow a set timeline. But I hope you like them, thank you & enjoy!

Long before the war, you were an apprentice of the 13 Primes. Destined to join them once you come of age. You’ve spent a majority of your time studying the history, arts, and culture of your planet. But what happens when you’re in the archives one day, and a mysterious Bot falls through the ceiling?

Before the war, you were a brand new Prime who was appointed to oversee the social system & well being of Cybertron’s citizens. However, when rumors of a war start to spread, you are placed under the protection of the prestigious High Guard.

You are a stray Autobot who got separated from your team after narrowly escaping some Decepticons. You find yourself in an abandoned city but make your way to a massive temple at the center. At first you believe you’re alone, until the temple’s doors open, and a colossal noise erupts from inside.

You are a famous racer from Iacon City, who is currently traveling the galaxy hoping to expand your career. Challenging the fastest speedsters in all of outer space! What happens when you land on Earth, hoping to beat the Autobots’ finest in a race?

You’re walking through Earth’s woodland, looking for something to do, until a massive sound shakes the ground. While definitely frightened, you follow a smoke trail that leads to a large crater. Out of the crater comes a group of strange beings: tall, strong, and covered in metal. For some reason they looked just like you. But before you could process anything, one of them looks in your direction. You’ve been spotted, by aliens no less. Now what?

Quick Author’s Note Here:

❥ The third prompt was super fun to write, so I extended it under the cut. Feel free to read if you want! Thank you! 🙏

Collapsing near the base of a mountain, Optimus’s optics go in and out of focus. It’s a pathetic end, he vaguely thinks to himself. All of Cybertron’s hopes and dreams, the Bearer of the Matrix - dying alone thanks to a squad of ragtag Quintessons. He doesn’t even have the excuse of being betrayed by Sentinel.

A shadow falls across him - a hulking, towering bot. Even with his vision blurry and going dark, there’s no mistaking who it is.

WC: 358

Notes: Drabble! Decepticon seeker reader. Angst is short-lived, story ends a bit fluffy. Soft-ish starscream. Relationship is not established, but the reader and screamer hold a mutual attraction toward each other.

Description: You'd undergone heavy injuries against a group of Autobots that leaves your air commander enraged.

Extra note: No warnings!

Oh, I like Megop too due to the tragedy of it (hello Transformers One), but I personally like Starop better.

I think the funniest way to go about it would be:

Megatron and Optimus Prime are together.

The war happens and they split.

Megatron gets into a toxic relationship with Starscream.

Megatron is the toxic one by the way, especially if this is set in the Prime series where he takes drugs for most of season 1 (I haven't seen the series in some time, so I might be misremembering, but I know season 1 was drugs and season 2 was coma/dead).

After many failed attempts of trying to take over, Starscream just escapes and joins the autobots.

Starscream gets reformed and the war is finished.

Megatron gets killed or exiled.

Either way, he's watching Starscream and Optimus Prime get together as he wallows in self pity.

As for if this was a crossover with One Piece, specifically with the HCD AU and what I wrote above, then I think Akainu would unfortunately get along with Megatron over their shared loss.

At least until Akainu realises that Megatron is a criminal, then he's going to have an identity crisis or something because he has so much in common with a criminal.

And, depending on the version, I think Megatron would be scared/horrified at hearing what Akainu did.😂😂Like I remember a couple of times where a decepticon was like: "Hell yeah! Let's kill Optimus Prime!" And Megatron was like: "Oh my god, NO!"

Listen- my friend sent me this screenshot and loves Swindle so I thought, “Eff it, I can mix these together!”

Now here we are 400+ words later 😭 so um nothing explicit, but it is suggestive.
