With more and more bots to manage, Ratchet has had his medibay upgraded a tad over the holiday season! He seems to be handling things better than most...

(That hiatus was accidental. Life got busy and I focused on starting S2 more than catching S1 up over here, apologies. Content will start rolling in again!)

Found these lil guys snooping throught my room.. What do I do with them?

air jail.

Skywarp and Sunstreaker being a friends is a new one--

BET! Here’s my beautiful pookie my shayla my beloved:

Requiem

REQUIEM YOU COULD DO NO WRONG I CAN’T DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I LOVE HER

I named her before I knew Tronus had the Requiem Blaster XD and then I just said “frag it” lol

She takes a lot after mama Tronus but she has Prima’s eyes and audials <3

This was the first design I ever did!! I do have a few others but those are just headshots atm because shapes and I’m still learning how to draw Bots, much less designing them from scratch lmao

Also also she’s in love with a Seeker 👀

LESBEAN

(Art by Torrentarts)

"OH what a sweet thing she is! She has the makings of a fierce warrior. How darling it is that she's taken Prima's beautiful finials. I have no offspring in my home timeline-- but if she ever needs me in any universe, I will be there. Of this I am certain."

[dee-cepticon]

Also Megatronus, Megs and Dee can yall help my Dee he’s panicking cause he dunno what to give Pax (lol)

I’ve already reassured him a gazillion times Pax is gonna like whatever he gifts him so long as it’s made with looove~

MECH CALM DOWN—

Valentine's Day shenanigans last until my birthday because I said so, ergo this is not late (I work in a restaurant, I had no time to do ANY projects over the weekend PFFFFF)

Megatron.... hissed at me when I asked her to come over. But Tronus and Dee are here!

D16: Well if he's anything like mine... that's probably true! I once gave him a chunk of stone back in the mines that was vaguely shaped like a turbofox and he carried the thing around in an arm compartment for decacycles. And that was something I just found, not even made!

Tronus: That is incredibly sweet.

D16: Yeah, yeah.

Tronus: Gifts, even ones that seem insignificant, are tangible evidence of affection of all kinds. If the giftee truly loves you, it does not matter if you give them granite or gold.

D16: Shepherd let me into the craft supplies with Wheeljack and Thundercracker, and I'm trying to make a blanket for our new den so I can cover Orion, Elita, and B all in one go--

Tronus: All three?

D16: //.... Anyways, I'm not sure what all you have available to you, other me, but I wouldn't stress too much about it. He's pretty easy to please.

[dee-cepticon]

I think I might have a mini Skywarp on my hands-

Found him hiding a few minutes after I had opened the window

Oh- and a few of my own bots would like to say hi!

B127 says hello to your bots!

What a pocket-sized Skywarp... he might be a little skittish, approach slowly. And with food. (Seekers like fruit!)

I personally love the headcanon that Bee is just, absurdly strong, enough to carry other bots pretty easily. (In every continuity). It amuses me. Ratchet seemed to understand part of what D16 was mumbling during the bleed.... Which Could Mean Nothing!

Ratchet's here! Not that he can get much of a word in with a fretting Orion involved.

That was probably just another hallucination. Probably.

[dee-cepticon]

how do u deal with bots who despite my best efforts don’t behave 

My sentinel just pushed wheel jack while taking a picture

I keep my Sentinel away from everyone else because of exactly that, lmao.

With naughty bots..... air jail. They're humiliated. It's surprisingly effective, especially for fliers.

You guys have no idea how long I've waited for this episode to get going in particular.... look who's heeeeere! With her FRIENDSSSSS and nothing terrible will ever happen to them, ever.

[dee-cepticon]

whoa

conflict potential

maybe wheeljack is just a physical bot who likes touch n stuff and maybe they arnt a thing actually because soundwave hasn’t actually told him anything because soundwave assumed by vibes and mind reading that they were kinda a thing but wheeljack didn’t know soundwave did that and

and

i’m losing my cortex rn

( and apparently kickback ig :[ )

ps. didn’t actually lose kickback i just got a report from dirge that him and sunstreaker went on a walk wish they told me that themselves but it’s okay

hopefully

Wheeljack is a very touchy feely bot! He's also, as you'll begin to see in the next few episodes, DENSE. And Soundwave is incredibly socially awkward. They're gonna need some help.

I left Wheelratch intentionally ambiguous as that's how I tend to read them; they can be queerplatonic, romantic, fwbs, strictly platonic, whatever-- they're partners! This is NOT a cheating situation though!

I headcanon all bots to be non-monogamous because they live such long, long lives. It would be somewhat odd if they weren't! However, when Ratchet finds out about this, he will be making fun of Wheeljack for being a bit on an idiot, lmao.

I wonder what you Kickback and Sunstreaker are up to!
