TFA Autobots React to Their Human S/O Collecting Robot Model Kits
[Autobots (Optimus' team) x GN!Reader]
He notices the model kits with a curious look at first, a little uncertain.
“You’re really into… robots, huh?” he asks with a small, slightly awkward smile.
But when you tell him you started collecting long before meeting him—and that now, no plastic version could ever compare to the real thing—he freezes, his optics widen, and then… he chuckles softly.
“…You really know how to make a bot blush.”
Later, if he sees you assembling a model of him, he might glance at it quietly… and then strike the same pose in real life while pretending it’s a coincidence.
“Model kits? Bah. What’s the point of fiddlin’ with tiny pieces when you’ve got the real thing right here?” he grumbles.
But when he sees you carefully clipping, painting, and fitting parts together with your deft fingers, he finds himself quietly impressed.
“You’ve got good hands,” he mumbles. “For such a tiny thing.”
You mention you've made one of him, and he instantly demands to see it.
Ends up squatting nearby, arms crossed, giving "helpful" (and very bossy) advice.
“That part’s upside down. No, not that shade—use this one. That’s closer to my actual paint job.”
He won’t touch it—he’s too scared he’ll break it—but he’ll hover like a grumpy old guard drone.
“Oh wow!! Look at all these tiny lil’ bots!! They’re so cute!” he exclaims, his massive frame practically lying down to peer into your display shelf.
When you warn him not to touch anything, he immediately backs off with wide eyes.
“O-oh! Sorry!! Didn’t mean to break your treasures! They’re just so cool…”
Then he spots one that vaguely resembles him and gasps.
“That one’s me!! Right!? It’s gotta be!!”
He gets ridiculously happy, and later? He secretly crafts a tiny badge with his own name and places it beside that model like a proud little kid.
He also starts asking if he can be part of your collection too.
“I promise I’ll stand real still! Like a statue!”
He watches your hobby with quiet interest, eyes following the movement of your hands as you assemble piece by piece.
“There’s something meditative about this, isn’t there?” he says, voice low. “A miniature reflection of order and discipline.”
You gift him a model of a sleek samurai-style mech.
“I thought this one looked a bit like you.”
He takes it with delicate fingers, silently examining it for a long time.
Then softly murmurs, “If I had only ever existed like this… I wonder if you still would have loved me.”
He stays beside you in meditative silence while you build. Doesn’t speak—but his gaze? Always watching. Always warm.
“Wait, WHAT!? You collect robots!? That’s so cool!! Is there one of me!? Please say there’s one of me!!”
He’s bouncing on his feet, practically vibrating with excitement.
You try to tell him to be careful and not touch anything, but he pouts dramatically.
“…Sooo you were into plastic robots before me?” he asks, suddenly sulking.
You reassure him that he’s way better than any model kit.
Instant mood switch. He beams.
“Yeah!! 'Cause I talk and move and do this—TA-DA!!” He strikes a heroic pose next to your shelf.
Starts showing off every time you're building.
“Need a reference model? I can hold that pose forever if you want. Take pics. Frame them. Worship me a little.”
