A typical evening

[cyperthenotebringer]

Starscream = Angry Goose

I thought more about Starscream’s uncle relationship, and how he could be considered a mother hen. Then I realized that mother hen applies to ratchet more than Starscream. Starscream is the angry goose mother.

Ratchet: you made Herbie cry? Let me tell you exactly why you need to go apologize.

Ratchet: *to Herbie* I’m sure it was just a misunderstanding, why don’t you wait here while I find out what happened.

Starscream: you made the sparkling cry!? Let me rip out internals, and tell you exactly how worthless you are.

Starscream: you booped the sparkling snoot, and he doesn’t know how to react to it!? You’re dead!

Starscream: you made the sparklet smile, and laugh!? You get to live, but I’m watching you!

Starscream: *to Herbie* Use your words. Tell me what made you cry, and what I need to do about it.

I got bored

Herbie as a transformer continued

Herbie tends to think of people in the classic human dynamic like movie stereotypes. Optimus is the father figure that leads the team. Bumblebee and jack are his responsible older brothers, and Smokescreen is his irresponsible older brother. Arcee is his rough around the edges aunt. Bulkhead, and wheel jack are his fun uncles. Ratchet is his his mother hen. Miko is his wild older sister. Raf is is super smart older brother. Finally, Ultra Magnus is his idol. Seriously, Ultra Magnus walks into the room, and all of Herbie’s attention is focused on him (this is probably how Wheeljack caught Herbie after he pulled a paint prank on his fun uncle.)

Herbie is an obsessive hugger. He always gives hugs before he goes to bed. He’s timid about giving them at first, but once he gets comfortable its nearly constant. Someone walks into the room, Herbie hugs them. They come back from a mission, there’s Herbie with a hug. He was trapped in car mode for fifty years without knowing he could transform, so he takes advantage of his new found limbs to cuddle as much as possible. Most of the crew give Herbie quick little hugs, but Ratchet seems to have an in built sense of when Herbie needs cuddles (hence the mother hen placement) Everyone assumes that Ultra Magnus always gives Herbie quick awkward pats on the head when he hugs UM in private as well as in public. However, they don’t realize that Ultra Magnus has a habit of letting Herbie sit next to him and cuddle in his office for an hour before going to bed. As uncomfortable, and unsure of the whole family dynamic Ultra Magnus is, he does understand when a youngling needs comfort. He had to help monitor some of the orphaned younglings before the fall of Cybertron, so he understands some of the cues Herbie gives off. Ultra Magnus also worked under prowl when Prowl was second in command of team prime, so reading door wings has become second nature to him.

No one is sure why Herbie likes Ultra Magnus so much, but anytime they ask Herbie just gets this mischievous glint in his optics and shakes his head.

When Herbie ends up with the deceptions, it’s not just Ratchet that goes into ‘I need to find my child mode’. Ultra Magnus makes a precise map detailing every mine, and single handedly raids each one until he knows Herbie is safe.

With the decepticons, everyone kind of takes on the role of father, or uncle figure. Each one is teaching him something new. Herbie doesn’t like to talk much, but Starscream makes sure he uses his words. Knock out takes him out on races. Once the Autobots start being more aggressive in tying to get Herbie back, the deception fliers keep a rotation for which one goes racing with K.O. and Herbie each week. So far, Starscream has proven himself to be the fastest. Surprisingly, Soundwave is the second fastest, but he has a habit of letting Herbie win on occasion.

Herbie if he was in transformers

I found this fun fic about Herbie the love bug really being a transformer, and thought i'd add to it.

He’s short

He likes to pull simple pranks like placing giant buckets filled with paint over a door stop, and waiting for someone to open the door, and get covered in paint. Only problem is that he has no concept of hiding, so he just waits in front of the door for someone to enter the room. He finally manages to get Optimus when he places the bucket over the door to the primes room.

OP just notices that his door is slightly opened, and assumed he didn’t close it all the way. He opens the door, and suddenly he’s covered in paint. Herbie is just standing there giggling, and honking his horn in amusement.

He managed to do the same thing to wheel jack, so Jacky chased him around the base threatening him with hugs. Herbie lost, and the entire base ended up with pink foot prints that haven’t been cleaned.

If Herbie ended up on the deception ship he would continue to pull pranks. It’s not out of malicious contempt. He just doesn’t understand that the deceptions are the Autobots enemies. He manages to prank star scream with an elaborate paint can set up using paints he found int he medical ward. Starscream just stands there in shock, not really knowing how he’s suppose to react to this kind of thing. Herbie runs off because bee told him that that’s what you’re suppose to do after pranking someone. He’s giggling so much that he runs strait into Megaton’s side with a clang, and falls on his rear where he continues to be a pile of laughter.

Megatron not really sure where this tiny transformer came from, and picks up the mech before comming sound wave.

Herbie would probably end up in some weird schooling situation. Megatron starts teaching him literature, knock out teaches him transformers anatomy and biology, Starscream teaches science (shockwave tried, but couldn’t keep Herbie’s attention long enough before his lab ended up as a kindergarten room), Dreadwing teaches him how to fight, and breakdown is usually his play mate. When the predacon comes around, Herbie is defiantly running around trying to wrest him like a kitten play fighting a doberman.
