(one with text)

(and one without)

I hope you like it :D I absolutely adore ur fic, literally one of my faves ^^

also considering it wasn't a specific series u were basing it off I kinda just took creative liberties so I hope it aligns with your thoughts on the fic 🙏

if there's anything at all you'd like me to edit or add to the art lmk :)

DUDE. DUUUUUDE.

DUDE THAT’S SO GOOD HE’S FREAKIN’ PERFRCT

THIS WHOLE THING IS JUST. CHEF’S KISS.

Absolutely in love with how confused and distressed he looks. He has no clue what’s going on and it SHOWS!!

And the fact that his cell is so incredibly dingy, too… he’s in the worst possible place and it’s so obvious. What a horrible existence to live in. Dude. I’m going to be staring at this forever.

He’s so precious… my little guy…

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

sorry if I'm rude or anything but, I need to ask: Did you deliberately make Blue OOC? I mean, Blue is a manipulator and everything, I know that, but he's not such an abuser (Blue hates violence and abuse like that). you did it on purpose to the story?

Well, in this Blue is not the same as he would be in DS. He wanted to die with his AU but instead was turned into a glitch. He just wants to make others suffer as he has.

Important: Bee can be both snarky and baby. You do not need to pick.

Worldbuilding...

And here me out. Jazz having shape-shifting abilities like Amalgomous Prime. Keeps up one consistent shape around the Autobots, so all of them - aside from High Command and a few select subordinates - think that he only has one form.

All of the Decepticons think he only has one form. It's how he keeps breaking in and doing his spy thing into Decepticon facilities. Do you know how many identities he's stolen?! How many friend groups he's carefully torn apart?!

It drives Megatron and Soundwave up the wall that they cANNOT stop him. How does Jazz keep stealing their information?! His face is posted EVERYWHERE!! The Autobots weren't very careful when it came to hiding his identity, so HOW. DOES. JAZZ. KEEP. SLIPPING. PAST.

Jazz, however, is having a blast.

Thinking about KYHAW and s4 and like, what if they happened in the same timeline? In the sense that KYHAW happened and then life went back to normal and then a few years later, BAM, Bee is de-aged again and all the kids are like "ugggghhhhh again???" but this time Megatron ALSO lost his memories so he's actually a threat this time and maybe the kids would see why Bee was so absolutely terrified the last time. Something something Bee remembers the period of being de-aged from KYHAW but not the before/after parts of being normal aged so at least he recognizes everyone and is like WTF why am I here again??? But again this time Dot and Optimus have to be like, so hey, remember how we told you last time Megatron was our ally.... So about that.... Also maybe avoid Hot Rod for a bit, he's going through some Things.

You are right on the money! Mostly. XD Since KYHAW is canon complaint, he does get age regressed twice and get the “AGAIN?!” treatment.

However! He probably wouldn’t remember the whole… first age regressing, but now that you mention it that would be a super funny idea.

XD At least he would be there to witness Megatron suddenly turning evil and would feel incredibly vindicated. “We should’ve put him down while we had the chance!”

But yeah the kids would understand him better. He wished they understood him the first time around, but yikes. Nothing to do about it now…

Eughhhh, he probably would avoid Hot Rod, especially if he heard how Hot Rod literally betrayed Optimus. How could he!!

If he was my version of Baby Bee, he would also avoid Breakdown because their split is still pretty fresh and new, but canon Bee is an older Bee. He’s gotten over it. Reluctantly.

Worldbuilding…

And I think it would be interesting if only warframes — thought of as the lower caste — have numbered names. They’re sparked knowing their code, but not their name.

Maybe other bots are born knowing their name, maybe they are simply nameless until a caretaker chooses their names, I don’t know.

But it’s a big part of the warframe culture to choose a name for themselves, something that reflects their values or personality! Something specific they like.

D-16 wants to lead a revolution like Megatronus did. He believes in his strength, in the way he was able to conquer any odds with his prowess alone. D-16 chooses to be Megatron, because Megatronus is everything to him.

B-127 chooses Bumblebee upon landing on Earth. Or maybe it’s assigned to him by a human, or even by Optimus. It’s different for him, but it still represents him. To be named after an organic is him choosing hope. Choosing a name that reflects the refugee they chose. Bumblebee wants to be hopeful always, so he gets a name that reflects their hope of peace on this new world… He gets a name that signifies their friendship with the humans to bridge the gap.

I have no clue if any other bots have numbered names, but those are my thoughts.
