Just wanted to say that I randomly saw your writing on my feed one day and it convinced check out more Transformers content. I currently finished season 2 of g1, the 1986 movie, and I recently saw TF1 with a friend.
Thank you, can't wait to start writing for this franchise too
Do it! We definitely need more TF writers

Knightverse Bumblebee x Reader
• Glancing over at the big mech sitting on the garage floor and fully engrossed in watching Back to the Future, you hear him warbling occasionally, door wings flicking and antenna lifting whenever something surprises him. And it’s hard to imagine you’d been nervous about him, worried he was dangerous when he’s really just a big puppy. Digging a paperback out of your bag, you flip it open. Because this? Has to be the easiest babysitting gig you’ve ever had, just watching the alien bot so his curiosity doesn’t have him getting into trouble. Again.
• Door wings lifting as he rocks slightly, the guitar riff as Marty sings makes him glance over at you to see if you’re watching, too. But you’re reading a book and his arm droops, where he’d pointed at the screen. Clearing his vents softly, he freezes at the subtle shift in your scent when he pulls air back in, turning to stare at you and the book in your hands, two humans on the cover intertwined and their clothes tattered. Warbling, he pulls your scent in again and he rumbles softly, the sound pitching into a staticky whine. That new scent going straight through him, stringing him tight.
•Startling guiltily at a soft scuff, the book was just getting to the good part and you flush because Bumblebee is just staring at you with those wide optics. Before crawling on his hands and knees over to the couch you’re on and resting his chin on the cushion beside you, antenna and door wings tucked close to his frame. And he warbles, glancing at you before just staring at the back couch cushion, making you think of your dog begging for some of your food by trying to not look at you directly. “Everything okay, sweetie?” You ask and he clears his vents, scooting closer to the couch.
• Stealing glances at you as he vents to pull your scent deep, his whole frame shudders. Has been trying to get to know you, to let you know he likes you, but it’s hard. Awkward. And now you’re interested. It smells like it anyway. He’s right here. Happy to take care of you. Unsure, he scoots sideways, arm brushing your leg and glances at you again. Flustered and unsure if he’s supposed to make the first move. Antenna lifting slightly when you meet his optics, you smile faintly. Door wings trembling, his chin slides on the couch cushion to get closer to your hand.
• What is he doing? Reaching out, you rest a hand on his helm and his optics shutter, his rumbling roughening to an adorable, warbling purr. Did he just want attention? Maybe he’s unhappy you weren’t watching the movie with him? “You’re missing your movie,” you say and he loudly clears his vents, pressing his face against the couch cushion as he aggressively warbles, the noises slightly muffled. Smiling despite yourself, you pick your book back up and he whines, crowding you. Surely the movie wasn’t too scary or something? You’d picked something you figured was safe and unlikely to rile him up after the fiasco of letting him watch Jaws.
Everyday I think about how canonically bayverse and Knighverse bee like having their faces touched. Bayverse had that one scene where Sam was comforting bee in the second movie, and in the bumblebee movie Charlie holding bee‘s face…. I think a lot of cybertronions would like having their tiny human touch their face, platonically or romantically. But it’s nice knowing my fav would canonically like me touching his face.

I think it's one of Bumblebee's sweetest traits - among one of the reasons I adore him
Good fucking day, Robot enjoyers! Gaze upon the updated semi-accurate height comparison of Bumblebee across the multiverse.
This is an updated version of a chart I made a few months ago. I had gotten some feedback and then TFOne came out and I kinda had to update it. I also added a Gen 1 Optimus Prime for scale, for fun... no other reason... (edit: slight adjustment made, just corrected a slight mistake in the order)
I am also working on at least two more character charts and one universe chart, so hopefully I can finish those soon (for some fucking genius reason I decided to do the characters that show up EVERY FUCKING UNIVERSE so I'm s u f f e r i n g)
*PST! Optimus, Megatron, Shockwave, Soundwave, Ratchet, and Ironhide ones are done now*
Master Post
Listed Heights, Explanations, and Justifications below the cut, bc you couldn't shut me up if you tried and I had shit to say.
Gen 1 - ~10 feet (TFwiki says greater than 3 meters so I rounded up to the first whole number because round)
Netflix Cybertron Trilogy - ~10 feet (He looks identical to Gen 1 so... the reason his photo looks weird is because I couldn't find a good full body photo with him standing straight up facing the camera so I put two images together to make the worst looking photoshop job you have ever seen)
Earth Spark - ~10 feet (There is no confirmed height yet, but using this screen shot (see below) of him standing in front of a barn door, I was able to make a reasonable guess, bc I'm so smart.)
One V1 - ~13 feet (I am well aware of what the TFWiki says: 26.429 feet. And I fully reject that number. A: These numbers are sourced from the Walmart Promotional AR Experience that came out before the movie. B: There are three decimal points, and that number does not convert into a whole number in meters (which is originally what I thought was weird about it). C: The director has said that this movie is both canon to the LA movies and its own separate canon, and Bumblebee in both sets of LA movies does not exceed 20 feet tall. Ever. So, for sanity's sake, I have used the KCV numbers as my baseline. Bee grows when he gets his t-cog so shrink this one down a few feet. Look, I'm working on the Optimus chart rn, and one of the numbers from Beast Wars on the wiki was very observably wrong, and if I can dispute numbers older than me, I can dispute numbers 2 decades younger than me from fucking Walmart. Also, yes, his picture is 3 images sandwiched together)
Animated - 13 feet 3 Inches (There is no actual given heights, but in the comments of the previous version, @phoenix-inanis told me that they had done their own analysis of TFA heights and, gonna be real with you, I am blown away by all of their work and how detailed it is. Go marvel at how much work they put in -> https://phoenix-inanis.notion.site/TFA-Height-Chart-f6ad2960ca8c4c5b859ee4958723aaa4?pvs=4 )
One V2 - ~15 Feet (Please see reasoning above. Since this is as tall as we see Bee get, he's the same height as KCV Bee. Sweet fuck, I have put way too much effort into this shit)
Knight/Capel-Verse - 15 feet (No actual numbers, but Mirage is stated to be 15 feet tall (TFWiki), and he and Bee are like the same height, so... Capel directed the ROTB movie if you're wondering why his name is there)
Bayverse V1 - 16 feet (TFWiki. This is like the first 3 movies minimum, I don't remember when he hits his growth spurt. Also mr bay is king, we have numbers for nearly every character in BV)
Cyberverse - 18 feet (I'm gonna be honest, the only info we have is from a really shitty screen shot of a magazine. SO if any one has a copy of this book from the video below, a high quality scan would be greatly appreciated and I will kiss the ground you walk upon. Yes I found the video where the screen shot comes from leave me alone)
Bayverse V2 - 18 feet (TFWiki. Movie 4-5 I can't remember which one, I'm not re-looking this up. I fucking love the bayverse tho, this is the only universe with concrete and consistent this-character-is-this-height info)
Aligned Cont. WF/FOC - 20 feet (TFWiki/Fandom. Video game info screens you godsend, kiss me sweetly)
Aligned Cont. TFP/RID15 - 21 feet (These two designs are canonically identical, like in ALC canon, Bee has not changed visually at all...Ok, yes I got this number from fandom and they give literally no source for where they got these numbers. But, I can fully believe these are accurate. Just by looking at these characters on the show I can verify these numbers in my mind. Here, let's Compare.
This is Sam compared to Bee from one of the BV movies, I'm too lazy to check which one. Sam is average size for a human and we know Bee is 16 feet tall in the first three movies. Checks out. Let's now look at a TFP Character who is also 16 feet tall.
Jack is average size for a human, and the size difference is about the same. Can you see why I can't question the Aligned heights, even if they don't have a source??!?! They specifically made this universe to be full of freakishly tall robots for some fucking reason.)
Not Pictured: Aligned Cont. Rescue Bots and Rescue Bots Academy Bumblebee - 21 Feet tall. Look, did you want to see all 5 versions of ALC Bee? No, you don't. They're all the same height anyway; the back row would have just been a wall of redundant yellow. 5 different fucking art styles in one universe, why is that one my favourite.
Here's the front row and the back row separated into their own jpgs. I know it's kind of hard to tell which Bumblebee is which when they're all together.
soundwave having to be co leader of the decepticons with shockwave while megatron is fucking frozen somewhere & he's forced to keep giving out commands to crazy people he doesn't like bcs they aren't just his cassettes
Could i request gn human reader x knightverse bumblebee? nsfw, but fluffy cause i mean, its bee lol. probably established relationship, spending some time with him in alt mode driving around, feeling up his steering wheel and gear shift, then hes like okay well i gotta pull over now lol
A Little Bolder
Warnings: Heavy petting, semi-public sex
Word Count: 300+
You loved to tease him, and he loved how excited it made him. Bumblebee could see it coming from a mile away since you weren’t subtle. But it only made him more eager to discover what you’d do this time. He loved to play along, whining and complaining in response to your little touches and suggestive comments.
He could pull over whenever he wanted, but where was the fun in that? It was far better to draw things out until you were both riled up. Bumblebee would much rather wait and pretend not to notice your nimble fingers running over his steering wheel. Of course he totally didn’t notice when you wiggled in your seat and sighed. Bee wanted you to get more creative. He wanted you to be bolder, wanted you to make more suggestive jokes and flirt until he felt like he was blushing.
When he finally gave in to his desire and whisked you off to somewhere more secluded, he’d make you squeal and giggle in delight by showering you in his version of kisses. Nuzzling up to you and running his servos across your body. He'd let you straddle him while he held your thighs, silently urging you to start grinding your hips against his.
Little by little, your exchanges grew more heated until you were naked from the waist down with Bumblebee using his servos to pleasure you. You always looked so incredible like this, eyes filled with lust, mouth open and moaning for him. Bee's spark lept every time you'd allow yourself to be this vulnerable.
The two of you were reckless, not caring if you got caught, since the excitement the risk provided only heightened the experience. It was almost a game seeing how loud the two of you could get while having your fun and Bee secretly hoped that by the end of the night, he'd have you screaming his name without a care in the world.
