Omggg does Optimus or any of the higher ups get a private moment with batmobile liaison? Do the bitties act like hellions ?

Optimus would love to have a private moment with the entire family... Unfortunately, Megatron turns into a wailing banshee whenever Optimus gets near him. Since Megatron doesn't like him (or any mech part of the Enforcers), Rodimus and Drfit also don't like them and either try to hide or sympathetic cry as well.

Optimus (and Chromedome) tried really, really hard, but it usually ends up with Megatron's vents wheezing so hard that he gets stress-hiccups. The poor sunflower is so distressed by their presence that it will impact his health, so usually Batmobile keeps some distance or interacts with any prior Enforcers in the public where the mess of overlapping EM fields doesn't panic your barnacle of sparkling.

Cybertronian toddlers have emotionally charged responses that will overwhelm them if left unattended, especially if it's trauma-related. In this particular case, Megatron had life upended by mechs on the police force. Multiple times. His spark remembers, but because he (along with Rodimus and Drift) lacked the adult memories, the fear and anxiety were amplified to an extreme level. Baby is interpreting the raging mess as terror, especially since he only remembers the incident that led him to Terminus' care and can't be reasoned with. All he wants is his creator's strong and steady spark and to cuddle into your frame. He would love to crawl back into a sparkling hold where it's dark, warm, and safe as he's surrounded by the rhythm of a parent's frame, but he's too big and Batmobile isn't a miner.

Had another dream about Cat!Starscream, Batmobile and Sparklings.

It involved Batmobile being discovered by Dreadwing.

It ended in him being honorable and not distressing the carrier/bitlits...but also he is heavily judging her taste in mechs. Because by a series of miscommunication and out of context conversations, Dreadwing believes that Starscream and Batmobile are courting.

(they are not In fact courting, nor are they aware the Dreadwing thinks they are Courting)

As a sidenote, I can imagine sparkling!Megs being protective and fussy about TFP!Starscream due to the fuzzy feeling of guilt involving IDW!Starscream.

Dreadwing: By the Allspark, they're roommates-

Batmobile: Yes? We are??

Starscream: *confused Seeker mech noises as he's still trying to figure out Botmobile's boundaries*

It's so funny since it results in so many misunderstandings as Dreadwing isn't the best talker, so smalltalk results in very different conversations between him with Batmobile (a cyberized human who's missing a lot of cultural context and specific subglyphs) and Starscream (he's still in survivor mode and desperately trying to Not Fuck Up his newest living arrangements with real food to pay proper attention to Dreadwing since the mech has a different sense of honor compared to the other Decepticons). The guy is deeply reading into Batmobile's nonchalant approach with the sparklings (at least Rodimus and Drift, Megatron just wants to be glued his creator's side) climbing all over Starscream.

Unfortunately, the sparklings have no mental connection to their adult lives. While there can be lingering impressions, they're starting fresh. As far as they're concerned, new adults to climb or escape from.

Baby!Megs has no thoughts. Just pure wants of being next to his creator under the sunflower panels as he chews on his fist or a random piece of spar armor.

Dreadwing thought Starscream would bully the sparkling. Starscream was so affronted, especially since the little sunflower was 1) very unlike their dimension's Megatron and 2) bitty never leaves Batmobile's perimeter.

Dreadwing never brought up the Batmobile's discovery. They're neither Decepticon nor Autobot, and working to return to their own dimension as they freely provide fuel and care. Deep down, Dreadwing knows if he ever brought attention to them, then Batmobile would be forced to fight, and he has no idea how the other Decepticons would react to the sparklings.

I had a dream about batmobile-mom and sparklings in Transformers:prime and her taking one look at the sad feral cat that is TFP!Starscream and going "Ya...this is mine now."

To me, it's funnier because the Cat Distribution System is doing the Lord's work with overtime as it claims Starscream to send him straight to them since they're stranded with a crashed ship. (Not the Light Lost. It's actually a little ship meant for initial expeditions of a new planet or for research. Still capable of supporting a small crew up to eight.)

So it's less of "This is mine." and more of "Well, I got a cat. This is not my cat. I never had a cat in this ship. I guess, it's mine now."

Poor lonely Starscream coming across the Batmobile family during his time as a rogue and got kicked out of the Decepticon faction, and getting all of his protocols and coding screaming at him over them. Batmobile may be a tank, but they're fragging huge and strong with matte black shades and a powerful field and little ones that she's attentive to their care. Sure, she's not Seekerkin, but she basically has a lot of the really attractive traits of one.

He becomes an indoor-outdoor cat that's super skittish since his own frame-instincts is attempting to latch onto them. Batmobile is coaxing the guy with Energon, shower brushes, cute sparkling babble, and a research lab where the Liaison is actually attentive to what's he's doing. They may not understand the entirety but they do like listening to the guy.

Because his frame-instincts are super confused over Batmobile not completely the proper mannerisms of a Seekerkin femme accepting another mech in her space, it goes haywire by jumping between 'get closer until she finally makes a decision' and 'FLEE YOU IDIOTIC FOOL' since Seeker femmes tend to be violently territorial over their nests with little ones. She's not making the right behavioral cues that mean 'I have accepted you into my personal, private, and intimate space,' but she's making a lot of the 'you're a guest' and it overlaps with the 'I'm trying to get to know you.'

God, the hilarious idea where the Justice Division snatches up Batmobile and the sparklings.

Featuring mind games, domestic fluff and failure, kinkshaming, and Tarn's attempts at rizzing getting Uno reversed since he's the one getting dicked down and loving it. For Lord Megatron, of course.

Batmobile ask:

So Megatron is de-aged and people on cybertron are concerned about what's happening on the Lost light because of the news of their shenanigans, so when the lostlight unexpectedly gets relatively close to a station where an officer is posted or to cybertron its self, someone takes the opportunity to do an inspection. (I'm thinking Prowl but it could be anyone).

They were not expecting Batmobile with her children cuddled up in her arms walking into the dispensary with a large but soft looking organic blanket draped over her frame...

(Hear me out, Cybertron is terrified about a rogue Decepticon Warlord and Optimus has no clue to feel about his old nemesis, a wayward Prime, and a feral racecar.)

Everyone was highly concerned with the lack of intergalactic accidents and the sudden silence of bad press spearheaded by the Lost Light.

By sheer chance, the dispatched party from Cybertron managed to reach the checkpoint of a planet from the buffering zone between Cybertron and her colonies' space and the Galactic Council's outermost edges, the wayward ship sent an incoming message to dock to a relatively neutral species.

Said species had sent an official warning to Cybertron and an unofficial non-hostilities agreement due to the Lost Light's recent actions on single-handedly dealing with the plague of space privacy in their region.

Optimus mobilized a heavy-hitter group with Starscream's begrudging blessing under the barest pretensions of an inspection.

Ultra Magnus is unflappable as always. Ratchet seems to be his usual gruff self. Quite a few familiar faces are still active among the crew -Perceptor, Brainstorm, Bluestreak, and Smokescreen, and a handful of new ones.

The most conspicuous new mecha has a white visor with a large frame swaddled in a larger blanket, and even in the distance, there are the unmistakable squeaks and chirps of sleep-addled sparklings.

The moment a very familiar face pops up, the comms lights up in a flurry of activity.

:: No fraggen way- ::

:: -not really surprised. But wouldn't Rodimus- ::

:: -had to be a really spot of trouble to keep the mech down- ::

Another helm pops out, frame so tiny and optics at half power, a yawn to show off an endearingly toothy mouth.

:: Oh, frag, even Drift- ::

:: -think those idiots had a bet? I wouldn't put it -::

:: -I knew racecars ran fast, but damn- ::

Of course, when a small grey face appears, everyone lost their fragging minds.

Meanwhile, Optimus' own glossa stills, turning into a weighted lump as he picks up the total familiarity of those flickering fields enmeshed in the strangers'. The Matrix has quite a few unique powers, including the ability to memorize and recall everyone's signature. There's no way that these three are merely sparklings of infamous mechs.

Megaton manages to lock optics with Optimus and immediately bursts into loud tears, which sets off Rodimus and drives Drift back underneath the blanket.

Whatever tension deflates in, by Jazz's words, this "powder keg of a Mexican standoff" trails into silent awkwardness as you attempt to wrangle the distressed, squirming sparklings onto separate shoulders.

Ratchet pinches his nose and Ultra Magnus drops another bomb, "Y/N, you're dismissed along with your charges."

"Roger that, acting captain." You nod in agreement and make your way back to the ship.

There's renewed screaming over the comms on this "newfound slag and fuckery," another of Jazz's phrases, and Optimus can't help but keep his optics on your back. Drift makes no reappearance, remaining a still lump attached along your seams. Meanwhile, Rodimus' face is wet as he peeks over a shoulder and Megatron refuses to lift his helm away from your neck.

Funny concept: in the batmobile AU first aid ends up dating batmobile and whenever the sparkling trio get put back to normal folks keep referring to first aide as the trios step-sire

Even funnier idea:

First Aid actually likes being a creator to the trio and everyone got used to sleeping in a shared berth.

Should the Command Trio ever return to their true ages, it would be during the night when everyone is all cuddled up, and Megatron would crush First Aid under his bulk since he's sprawled over both Batmobile and First Aid.

Ambulon thought the emergency call was from another sex-induced injury, but no.

It's hard to say who would be more mortified: Megatron or Ambulon because the ward manager literally slammed the door to the habsuite open and they need to deal with Batmobile's "nude" sleeping habits.

Drift had rolled onto the floor and didn't jolt since his bitty-form got a good dose of night-night juice, and Rodimus can sleep through a meteor shower.

Megatron crushing First Aid would be a running joke on the ship.

Batmobile and there sparklings in TFA would be... interesting.

:)

This has a lot of potential for things. On one hand, cute and silly shenanigans since the once human Liaison was from modern-day Earth and TFA is set in the far future, and TFA doesn't have fanon sticky and sparklings. On the other hand, it can delve deep into the impact of the dystopian Autobot regime.

Batmobile would be the largest non-Decepticon 'con the TFA Autobots had ever seen. Even larger than Lugnut!!

Sari has soooo many questions. Not only you're a dimensional-hopper, but a time-traveler that's been, well, transformed and baby robots!!!

Any check-ups need to be done in Sumdac facilities because the ship doesn't have a berth that's big enough to hold you. Of course, you have parts and systems that the Autobots don't have, but things that niggle in the back of Ratchet's mind. Scratching really deep.

Sari takes advantage of it as a sleepover and to get the real mood and culture of the early 21st century.

The bother of trying to figure out how much mass you put away in your alt-mode, and how you're so blase with Drift and Roddy comfort-chewing on your frame. (For reference, you're the Batmobile Tumbler from the Christopher Nolan trilogy.)

The Autobots being so confused by the sparklings. They can't be reasoned with. They make a lot of noise and mess. You follow a ridiculous, in their opinion, schedule with them. They're so emotional over the simplest of things, nor can the babies properly speak.

And then they find out their identities-

The Autobots' extreme emotions over tiny Megatron. He's from a different universe, but Megatron-

Whenever Bumblebee annoys you or the sparklings enough, you can easily pick him up and set high above to give yourself some time. The great thing about a Cybertronian frame is you can manipulate your own sense as your turn down your audials to his screeching.

It would be hilarious if the Deceptions know about the process of sparking up the frame method of sexual reproduction, which kickstarts a sub-plot of them trying to fetch away the sparklings from incompetent Autobots.

Optimus being a young Dadimus as he wrangles the kids with you and deals with boo-boos, especially whenever Roddy and Drift venture too far.

The real-life struggles of parenthood: temper tantrums, childhood illnesses, and deeply ingrained obsessions. You, Ratchet, and Prowl are the only ones unbothered by the constant reruns of My Little Pony, Scooby Doo, and you managed to get them hooked on Winnie the Pooh. Optimus finds himself humming the theme songs, Bulkhead is unconsciously painting ponies during Abstract time, and Bumblebee cries tears of absolute joy when you take pity and get him a TV for video games.

Sentinel freaking the fuck out when he meets Batmobile. (On a side note, in any version of this crossover, wouldn't it be hilarious if Blowhard Prime develops a huge terror-boner of a crush on the new mecha on the block?)

Seeing how the getaway/liaison/rodimus bitlet loves Ambulon so much makes me think he deserves more love, he’d be a great sire.

Oh yeah, bitties inherently love Ambulon for some reason.

The deaged Command Trio and Pharma/Revelation's family cling to the guy if their creators aren't around.

He is the chronically exhausted, perpetually stressed, and serious-faced uncle with built-in child entertainment. Ambulon also has a really good story-time cadence and becomes a top-notch child-wrangler.

This mech even has Menace/Mercy's stamp of approval, and the photovoltaicat will occasionally jump into his lap for a few stritches. The mechanimal likes him to the point that it allows him access to the newsparks during its cuddle-time with Remedy, Nightshade, and Noctem.
