The Caged Hummingbird
Hear me out...I had this idea. I personally see this fitting for Tarn, Gladiator Megatron, or Gladiator Soundwave walking by a black market or being shown prizes you can win by a merchant...as he paruses he see a like one those fancy bird cages with a white laced almost see through cloth and the most melodious singing coming withing that cage, something was inside pulling him towards the siren call...
He pulls the veil lace, and inside is a small, strange, organic alien, dressed in soft silks and lace, sitting in a swing inside the cage. You continue to sing your lullaby seemingly undisturbed. Unaware or simply apathetic to the others around you....but when you open your eyes and look into his optics, he finds himself disgusted for a SPLIT Second, such strange alien chirping but beautiful singing came from an organic
You simply study him almost as if you see what he lays beneth all that he hides, you see his spark like you were expecting him...waiting for him, such a small, fragile, and weak thing that seems tainted by the putridity of life of the rich and powerfull...the voices in his head quiet down finally hearing your alien lullaby he feels calm and at peace
The merchant is telling him he simply found you singing in a field of flowers with animals, that you were an organic from a dirt and water planet
Now, depending on the guy, how you got taken differs between Tarn and Megatron & Soundwave
With Megsy and Soundy, when you announce to be the big prize for a match megsy or Soundwave fight like they have never done before, he HAS to win you...and when he does win you
You are a secret heaven for him when the fights are done...when the rebellion starts...when the war erupts when he is tired your there in your secret room singing and waiting for him to sink his helm in your tights as you pat his helm...
Now Tarn?...he straight up just grabs your cage and givesthe merchant mercy of no death for being a betrayer, and he is very much keeping you a secret. Your cage gets bigger...the more he gets to spend time with you, he gives you 'jewelry'...which is a trackers he is never letting you go...
There are some...paranormal things that happen around you that neither mech is able to grasp, like how injuries he had the day before sleeping around you heal faster than they should, or how when he is around you, he isn't hungry anymore...no one was aware, while yes, you are "human" and you aren't "Rare"
You and your siblings were created lastly by the one and the other celestials they found you all so darling and gave you the task to help mortals and guide them. They called you once an "Angel"...and you simply allowed the merchant to take you simply because you were curious
Who should be the ML?
TARN
MEGATRON
SOUNDWAVE
Honestly, though, with Megatron and Soundwave routes, Soundwave ends up meeting you if Megatron is the one to find you And Vice-Versa
Those two trust, loyalty, and respect to one another knew they are their best ally to keep you safe, If something ever to were to happen to him on arena or when they are in missions in the war to keep you safe from others-Now this could end with a throuple route...but it obviously different dynamic if megsy is the main or soundwave is the main ml...
Senator Shockwave x Gladiator Soundwave to regular Wavewave but with this dynamic
Soundwave is the blue one and Shockwave is the yellow one
I feel like Miko would send Soundwave video of someone cooking cutting up octopus tentacles and eating them as a threat
Joke's on her because now Soundwave basically got her on speed dial to eat a Quintesson that ever strays to them. He would do it North American hibachi-style because nothing spells out doom than a dramatic production out of it.
He was raised in the Pits of Kaon. Someone eating his dead frame or feeding it to the animal cages were the least of his worries as a sparkling.
In need of reference images, I did my best to clean up that 1 image of pre-war gladiator Soundwave so u can actually see him past the haze and sun glare. Enjoy.
Colour balance may be more purple-skewed than he should be outside purple Nemesis lighting, but its within his range.
Hot Rod has always had small boobs. When he starts helping Soundwave take care of his cassettes his boobs begin to grow and he starts producing milk.
Omg yes! He goes from having a small perky b cup to having double d’s and he doesn’t know how to handle the heavy weight or steady slow building change!
He’s losing his mind over how big they are and how they don’t go down even after he drains the milk from them.
They just remain big!
Once he tried ignoring the need to milk when he first started noticing it but that idea quickly got tossed out as he was having chest pains and then they started leaking through his chassis when he went to bend down to pick up the cassette twins and he just…burst in tears.
Soundwave had to step in at that point.
Ravage, Rumble and frenzy were all young sparklings that needed milk and even now before the war sparkling milk is lacking in so many nutrients since it wasn’t the brand rich or high class bots could afford.
The sparklings would whine and cry nuzzling against his chassis and the smell of sparklings in need is what kick started his frame to produce milk. As a carrier it was bound to happen but since his spark attached to them and saw them as his own that made the production easier and his frame allowed itself to produce more than what they needed since he suddenly had three sparklings that his frame knew it did not emerge. It decided to produce an abundance of milk filled with nutrients and minerals that made Hot rod large in the bust and almost always leaking.
His instincts were screaming at him to let the sparklings feed straight from the source instead of him just pumping and tossing it to the gardens.
It took a few months but by then he was a double d and the milk spilled out when he bent over and his chassis popped open from the strain and his breasts were out and leaking.
He immediately covered up and burst into tears.
With milk production came increased sensitivity and he hated that last part.
“I’m sorry, i’m sorry,” he apologized, his em field was fluxing and it was making the sparklings fussy as they cried for him and milk.
“Hot rod: cease apologizes. Sit: allow Soundwave to remedy.”
Hot rod wasn’t sure how Soundwave was going to do that but he trusted the mech. Or well, maybe he shouldn’t have, seeing as Soundwave brought all three sparklings to Hot rod and carefully laid them in his arms making him expose his breasts that the sparklings latched onto and suckled.
“Soundwave!”
“Concerns: moot. Sparklings: receiving utmost quality energon and Hot rod no longer will be in pain or worrying of sparklings fuel quality or boundaries. Sparklings: mine and Hot rods.”
The gentle tip of Soundwave’s helm and his soft digits rubbing against Hot rods cheek plating made the teary mech relax against the berth and sigh in relief. This was much easier on his frame than pumping or squeezing the milk out.
And he couldn’t go without kissing Soundwaves palm. The mechs words were tender, soft, and spark touching.
“Hot rod: carrier to Soundwaves cassettes emergence or not. Hot rod: Soundwave’s.”
That last part made him blush furiously but also laugh as he motioned for the mech to lean beside him and touch helms.
“Okay sweet sound. I accept.”
“Was not a request,” Soundwave spoke, making Hot rod laugh.
Soundwave took his visor off and all four optics looked kind, happy and loving as a tiny smile laid on his scarred face plate that Hot rod kissed softly, mindful of any pain.
“Ya know, that sounds like a threat,” Hot rod joked knowing Soundwave was serious but not in a threatening manner. No. Never Soundwave. Not to him.
“Promise,” the mech spoke, his fangs peaking from the side of his permanently open intake from scars received during a gladiator battle.
“My favorite,” Hot rod smiled leaning into the mech, peaking an optic open to watch their sparklings who happily suckled and paid them no mind.
