One of the biggest (and smallest) assholes in the land down under (Australia) ((hell))
The box jellyfish holds the record for being the DEADLIEST jellyfish around, and at the same time being smaller than your NAILS.
So here comes my idea.
Decepticon! minicon reader who just DOESN'T give a FUCK.
You see, jellyfish don't have brains.
NEITHER does YN.
At the same time, Y/N's ability allows her to make this late field around herself, and if anything is stupid or unlucky enough to step inside that area they just DIE.
(I will mention that this ability can be turned on and off for romantic purposes)
Reader being a minicon is also fitting, hell, they are so small they can be confused for a human made robot (smaller than the fucking casseticons)
Also, reader is LIGHT, so light that they can FLOAT.
**Megatron, steps into battle**
Optimus: "Megatron i- what the hell is that"
Megatron, holding a floating Y/N by a chain
Megatron: "..."
*Megatron proceeds to YEET Y/N towards Optimus, BARELY missing.
Also (plz let this be Tfa, I feel like there are many characters, but not as many as G1)
○ [TFA] BOXJELLY!READER •CONCEPT•
OHHHHH OKAY IF THIS IS TFA, i can see BoxJellyfish!Reader being a Blackarachnia techno-organic experiment.
backstory: you end up working for Megatron because again, you legitimately do not have a brain. Blackarachnia fucked up the experiment so badly that we came out as a kitchen cupboard 💔 so Megsy was able to easily manipulate them. you're a minicon and you're often left with Blitzwing, his brain module got split in three so the two of you get along nicely.
secondly, i wanna get into how the alt mode works & ability workings BECAUSE I LOVE THE TECHNICAL MAKING STUFF UP PART. you would have an air+water alt mode, you are very lightweight and can float in the air (with some additional fire power) as well as swim. but rather than typical jellyfish neurotoxins, i think you could have the ability to overload circuits with massive voltages, the current causes their internal systems to fry and as a result, instant termination. of course, it has a range and the shock effect is stronger depending on how close contact was with you.
physically, you looks just about like any other bot in your bipedal except that some part of your chassis are translucent and see through... it freaks a few mechs out with how they can see your internal systems. like... jumpscare warning 😭
DECEPTICONS
— They think you're... something. Megatron doesn't really have a high opinion of you other than "a pawn" the first time Blackarachnia shows you off.
— Blackarachnia was trying to see if high-voltages could some how reverse any techno-organic to fully technological by killing off the organic side. She's had millennia to experiment and you were born from that experiment. Were you a failure? Yes but did you abilities hold some merit to the Cause according to the dimwits aboard? ...Also yes.
— You're a valuable asset with how small you are. Megatron almost steps on you on the daily. If it weren't for the beeping noises from your frame- Shockwave has attached a remote camera onto you given you can't really speak in the traditional matter, your electrical abilities have shorted your vocalizer. So whenever you go somewhere that big bad Decepticons can't fit, they can see what you see in an area totally unaccessible to them. Especially since you can't really... report your findings with your vocalizer gone.
— You're assigned with Blitzwing! Because Blackarachnia doesn't like being held accountable for her horrid creations beyond computing capacity :3 So you have a best friend. Blitzwing is hesitant at first. He thinks of you as a Frankenstein's monster. He does not wanna be associated with you. But the two of you technically share trauma from the same evil scientist-
— You're more like a venting plushie for Blackarchnia. She sits down and vents to you but everything enters one audial and comes out the other. You don't have a brain but she finds some sort of comfort in getting to say things out to someone. Even if they can't understand it.
— Starscream hates you. Lowkey. He does a smiliar thing as Blackarachnia but instead of life problems and self loathing, its all his plans to overthrow Megatron. You just nod. You don't understand a word but the camera Shockwave implanted in you long before he left to Cybertron is technically recording all that.
— Since you're just about as big as Sari, you can fit into Blitzwing's Cockpit! Same with Starscream & Lugnut. But Lugnut has almost killed you with his giant pedes more than once.
— Funnily enough, you seem to like Starscream the most because... because no one really understands how. It's just sort of happened, really. The mech literally hates you the most.
AUTOBOTS
— At first, they don't even think you're Cybertronian. To them, you're literally some sort of body horror abomination. Prowl thinks you might be an affront to nature. Bee is creeped out but finds how your insides show to be kinda cool and Bulkhead is just... Terrified of you.
— The first time they came across you, the tiny menace was a total accident which scarred them for life because they did not expect to see what they saw. Ratchet thinks you're a biological enigma, how does your fuel systems even work!?!?!?
— But ultimately, they learn that you're brainless. And they hope that... maybe they could bring you over to their side. Just maybe.
— But the real task is for Optimus... Since you're Megatron loyal brainless (literally) lapdog, you'll run towards Prime with 0 frags to give. He cant even get a direct hit at you either!!! You're too small and close contact is a bad idea... He saw a display of your abilities before. He also learns how... strong your shocks are the first time he uses his grapple to grab you. Ratchet made sure that Prime had insulated grappling wires after that episode.

Now that I think about it, I feel like YN jellyfish would just behave a bit like an non verbal autistic child, and also, you had me thinking about shockwave now being a blackmailer.
I have a few other headcanons (this is all for transformers in general, like, no continuity)
Rumble and frenzy learned that trying to play with jellyfish is a bad idea.
Soundwave, in one of his many visits to the sea, got jellyfish a tank full of jellyfish. Thanks to that, YN jellyfish is a lot easier to find, before they spend 90 percent of their time in their habsuit just staring at the tank.
(in G1) the decepticons took 70 months to realize they could just use jellyfish as a power source for energon.
After capturing jellyfish, the autobots now have to try and keep Sari from going to the little robot.
Jellyfish once stepped close enough to the motherboard of the nemesis that their shock traveled through the metal and fried the systems, ever since, they wear cheap plastic human child boots and a blue plastic raincoat.
During one of his short visits on earth, sentinel prime got shocked by YN jellyfish, he now believes every jellyfish can do that.
Shockwave ended up researching every single bit of information about jellyfish, and is now interested in that rare box jellyfish subspecies that has only been captured on camera 2 times.
Yn jellyfish somehow got dose glow in the dark stars and filled bits of the nemesis with them, to this day, they are still being found.
Yn jellyfish sometimes struggles walking themselves after letting out powerful electric shocks, so they wobble.
Blitzwing now holds YN jellyfish out like if they were the cross when discussing anything with someone.
Hothead blitzwing gives military style motivation chats to jellyfish.
Yn jellyfish sometimes follows people ducky style.
Blurr thought he could grab YN jellyfish and run with them fast enough to get to a safe place and incarcerate them before being shocked...he THOUGHT....he failed...
One time, when a customer didn't want to pay full price for an item, swindle brought out yn jellyfish, attached them to a rubbed robe and swinged them at the bot until they payed.
Megatron was forced to place a sticker on YN jellyfish signifying that they were electric in order to avoid the veihicons touching them and getting shocked.
Ever since YN jellyfish appeared, ratchet hates his job a little bit more.
How bumblebee and bulkhead now act around YN jellyfish
Random and jellyfish
idk about the autistic child bit (everyone cam have their own interpretations dw abt that!) but i can definitely see the non-verbal part. they don't need words to convey their emotions, their aura is enough. literally cause i think they would have a really strong EM field, or maybe a strong but distorted one with how their electrical abilities work... maybe they convey their emotions through their EM field?
they're too overpowered so i needed to dumb down their strategic thinking & overall intelligence or else it gonna be a problem for everyone.
all of this CANON.
i'm gonna add some of my own stuff.
G1:
Bombshell made you :3 you were supposed to be their newest member, until they realized they made a walking talking electricution monster... and realized you couldn't ingest things like they could so they abandoned you with Blitzwing, of all mechs 💔
Decepticons use you as an interrogation tool. autobots tied down start panicking when you approach. even though you're so much smaller and not really a Cybertronian, they lowkey respect you... in a way Decepticons do.
also, i can see Rumble & Frenzy vibe with them in a way. but its very weird. its like you have some telepathic connection with them. i think the EM field i mentioned would have a play in that.
"Did ya hear what happened to Starscream?" Rumble's laughing, recalling what had happened— Another one of his plans had been foiled!
"..." You look at the two Casseticons you're standing between, they're just about the only bots near your height here.
"Agreed." Frenzy says, making sure not to try and instinctively pat your shoulder plating. The two of em have a wide smile understanding just what you meant.
you probably met the twins when you were doing your daily set of staring at Soundwave's Jellyfish tank and theu were like, "wtf is this bolt-brain doing here???". they probably bullied you the first the time too but lowkey, you did not realize that and they tried to shove you only for a... shocking surpise (i'll see myself out). buy then, Rumble & Frenzy ending up being very chill with you cause you electrocuted the slag out of Skywarp when he tried to scare you three by warping in out of nowhere. now you follow Rumble & Frenzy around like a duck sometimes.
ALSO I CAN DEFINITELY SEE RUMBLE, FRENZY & OUR JELLY VANDALIZING THE NEMESIS WITH STICKERS. ruining the vibe, Megatron asks who did this and you all point to Skywarp. more of a reason to hate his co-workers lame ass minions... and you, Blitzwings... uh... 'student'.
i think in G1, Soundwave would be closer to BoxJelly than Blitzwing??? not entirely sure. debating myself on that one but i'm keeping Blitzwing as their Rocket Raccoon regardless... it could work considering they're technically a triple changer (helicopter alt + box jellyfish). either way, Soundwave would want you as his Casseticon but Blitzwing is like "FRAG OFF, THEY'RE A TRIPLE CHANGER!!!" (ofc, this happens after Blitzwing gets closer to them) so there's a custody battle going on.
G1 Shockwave would try to use them as a battery ngl... only for the sheer electrical power to overload the systems and fry most of the circuits in his lab. hasn't attempted it since.
they realized they could convert the electrical power you posses into energon, its a tedious task and its barely a small amount though so they decide to not use you for that. you're capable enough on the battlefield anyway.
the plastic thing, since they're Decepticons, i doubt they'd really take precautions like that. it would be more like forbidding BoxJelly from ever going near the ship consoles. then Megatron gets the bright idea of sending BoxJelly to blow up the Ark's consoles [it went horribly wrong]
TFA:
RANDOM AND BOXJELLY ON POINT. THAT HIS BABY. HE'S LIKE A FATHER TO THEM.... in a way. the other personalities think of it more as a duty to the Decepticons though.
and yeah, Sari is a curious kid, nosy even so the Autobots would def be trying their hardest to keep her away because if she touches you? she's cooked. literally.
Ratchet despises them. he's never met a bot who's put these many bots in the medbay without even actually trying 💔
blitzwing does not pay attention to anything they do— especially Random & Hothead. Icy might only cause Megatron asked. they do not care whatever BoxJelly does, Random is the number 1 enabler..
Random is laughing while Lugnut gets zapped. for some reason, BoxJelly does not seem to vibe with poor Lugnut who's tanking 5000 volts...
i think a side effect of constantly getting electrically damaged would be twitchy components.
Hi! I loved the cute way you asked the question BOX JELLYFISH, And now I can't stop imagining the Guardians of the Galaxy scene from the first movie, only with our little reader lol, you know, that scene where Rocket and Groot are with that bomb and Rocket I'm dying to teach Groot how to use it lmao. Now imagine this with Reader and another character. It's funny to me because Groot doesn't speak a traditional language either, so it fits in better For me. Sorry if it doesn't make sense, English is not my native language :)
OHHHH Rocket is Blitzwing- ROCKET IS BLITZWING.
also brilliant comparison, i never realized how similiar their dynamics are. also eventually how Blitz would kinda think they're alright because he's been around them so long. they're like his parrot, perched on his shoulder as if he were a pirate— not leaving his side cause Megatron told them to stay together, only so that it would be easier to keep optics on the both of them... not because Blitzwing is a sane enough bot to make sure they don't end up in trouble.
i can also imagine their dynamic evolving a lot more into baby groot & rocket eventually cause Blitzwing realizes that they're actually brainless... they literally don't have a brain module and its not even their fault they are that way. but they're super OP regardless. also he comes to understand BoxJelly's beeps & boops, what each sound means. so he ends up being the only person who can understand them 😆
he's trying to teach you how to shoot with a blaster, he tried to get the smallest possible variety but even that's too big for you. you try shooting and accidentally blow up Lugnut into smithereens.
Starscream does NOT like them. Blitzwing doesn't even have to intervene when Starscream is trying to use you for his schemes cause Starscream doesn't realize you literally cannot understand complex plans + the camera on your helm Shockwave installed before his spy mission. you're Megatron's surveillance drone and you don't even know it.
even though Blackarachnia made them, she's more of a neglectful parent to them more than anything— she thinks of them as a failed experiment but amusing as well as useful enough to keep around.
Lugnut tolerates you only cause Megatron said you'd be useful... otherwise he's suspicious about you... are you truly loyal to the Cause? you're not exactly the traditional Decepticon... you don't even have a warframe!
also, i can understand your english! english is bot my first language either so its fine-
In order to not be burned at the stakes, I demand you to write something witht jellyfish YN, anythyyou want, just make them silly
hmamammgmhmhmrkfifjnr the think machine is a bit low on ideas, i won't lie BUTTTTTT i have been thinking of a TFP version of BoxJelly.
except like, their powers are a lot more toned down in the TFP verse. TFP is a lot more tonally serious than the other continuties i feel.
in TFP, its Shockwave. they're Shockwave's peitry dish hellspawn. Shockwave was trying to create a long lasting battery but then one thing lead to another and now he has a minion 💔
they're his minicon now, fuck it. Soundwave has Lazerbeak so now Shockwave has BoxJelly. TFP Megs isn't sure what to feel about it... thing about TFA Megs is that the guys desperate for more troops. he's stuck with four idiots and out of that, one defected and the other became immortal and is trying to kill him on a daily basis. however, TFP has an army of Vehicons and is doing better compared to the Autobots initially (until they fragged it all over w their own dysfunctionality). TFP Megs does strike me to be more picky in a way so they're more critical of BoxJelly than TFA Megatron would be.
also after a lot more thought, i realized i could give them a Jellyfish + Drone alt mode combo instead cause they're a bit too small to be a full blown helicopter? maybe a drone design with some helicopter aspects? idk.
Earthspark, they're a Terran. its literally right there. Terran Decepticon.
[for G1] alsooooo i do feel like i can see them being one of Soundwave's cassettes but i'm debating between that & Blitzwing's protegé because G1 Blitzwing having to take care of someone is gonna end up with a couple of domestic terrorist attacks, i feel. there's comedic potential.
but at the same time... a sibling relationship w Rumble & Frenzy is tempting... though, i like to see Rumble & Frenzy more like bullies who seem to be really chill with just this one guy (Jelly)
weaponsmith encounters them and they're visibly freaked out, they can see their insides! semi-concerned but also curious. why are they so small? where is their warframe? what are they doing out here? then they notice the Decepticon sticker
weaponsmith!reader: "...they'll hire anybody..."
boxjelly!reader: *frog blinks*
the weaponsmith remains hesitant, unsure on how to approach. they would 100% underestimate boxjelly. are they ever Cybertronian? doesn't seem like it. they knew the Decepticons have been desperate lately but-
boxjelly slowly approaches within the meantime and shocks them, leaves them there unconcious. a concerned Yoketron finds his weaponsmith on the ground, knocked out. he's actively fretting over them. who did this!?!?!?
