((BE STILL MY BEATING HEART <3 ))
@frustratedsecretary, @gojetron
Send me a “0″ and a ship and I’ll tell you:
How do they have a bean? (Include your headcanons!)CLIFFJUMPER WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS. Skywarp panicked at seeing Cliff panicking and would have transWarped away if it weren’t for the lines of Starscream’s “self preservation” coding telling him it was dangerous for his Spark Chamber.How do you make a Sparkling with a clone that doesn’t have a Spark? IF YOU KNOW PLEASE ‘COMM THEM ON A SECURE LINE THEY WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT BEFORE THE SCIENCE GUILD GETS TO THEM
Would they have one bean or more than one bean? If more, how many?Two beans. One for each arm. <3 Except that means no cuddling the mini so Cliffjumper is handed one so Skywarp can cling tightly to him with the free servo. Sigh.
What’s the bean’s shape? Size?They’re kind of tiny - smaller than Cliffjumper’s servo but not small enough to hold two on the same servo.
Is their bean an exceptionally cuddly squishy blob or no?CARRIER WILL CUDDLE THE SLAG OUT OF THEM EVEN IF THEY WEREN’T. They are strangely not ‘blobby’, they’re more lanky string beans.
Does their bean have basic protoform appendages (chevron, finials, wings, etc.) forming yet?Stubby little wings. True wings, but likely won’t be the same size as their carrier’s.
How much is their bean dependent on them?LESS SO THAN mamaCARRIER WISHES. They’re picky with their fuel, since Cliffjumper is an excellent chef.
Who does the bean take after more physically?Starscream’s coding is incredibly pervasive; the two are clearly Seeker frames poor Cliff but their optics are Autobot-blue even though they can fly. Both are dirt-brown but one has vivid purple accents and the other bright red accents. While their limbs are gangly, their torsos and servos are stocky, like their sire.
Personality-wise, who is the bean more like?The former is skittish and the latter has a hair-trigger temper, exacerbated in the extreme if they’re separated. In close proximity the twins balance each other out, so it’s not good to separate the two.
How does their bean interact with other grown mechs?Skittish-bean is convinced the adult-bots will hate them for being flight-frames (not without due cause) and forces angry-bean to limit their proximity to the big bots. Angry-bean knows this is true but still wants to see what the big bots are doing, so skittish-bean decided they would demonstrate that just because they’re flight-capable doesn’t make them bad. Their sire’s reputation helps some.
How does their bean interact with other protoforms?Skittish-bean is dragged over by angry-bean, who proceeds to threaten the protoforms if they hurt or scare skittish-bean. Angry-bean then pushes skittish-bean into the group and watches to figure out how to join, itself.(“Whose youngling is that?” “They’re both mine,” Cliffjumper groans through a servo clamped to his faceplates.)
What sounds does their bean make? Are they quiet, make low booping, high beepings, or are they a wee lil screecher?They make a blend of smol lil bby birb cheeps and car horns.
How does their bean move about?They hold hands when they go places, and only let go when they plan to stay in the area they’re currently at.
Where and how often does their bean like to snooze?You can’t get one bean to sleep without getting both beans to sleep. Fortunately for carrier, they don’t mind being snuggled but sometimes one of them insists on napping on/with Cliffjumper. It’s hard to work when you have a bean with limbs wrapped around your horns.
