Transformers AU: Mentors, Friends and Idols.
Continuing my Transformers AU, featuring some of the people close to Orion and Elita.
Red Alert, Ratchet and Arcee are collectively known as "The Nice Medical Ladies across the Archival building".
They're an entire family unit of gay robots.
Ratchet is by far the oldest, and the matriarch of the family unit. She's also the oldest robot of the same generation as Megatron and Codexa. She may be a grouch, but she is also full of wisdom.
Red Alert is the rapid response medic. Less strict than Ratchet, but tends to be short on conversations outside Medical matters.
Arcee is Ratchet's primary apprentice and basically was taken in as the closest thing she has to a daughter. Diligent and studious, but with an occasional wild side (and surprisingly good hand-to-hand combat skills).
Orion's Pal Wheeljack! Among visitors to the Archives he's one of the most frequent… because he's always "drinks knowledge as one would drink energon". Most of the knowledge he seeks is for his zany experiments range the gammut of harmless to "this can blow up a mountain". Perhaps Orion's most loyal friend, second only to Elita.
The Jetfires of Clan Skyfire: Three generations of robots serving as warriors of the sky as part of the Cybertronian Elite Guard. They're Elita's idols, and an exemplar to all flying robots out there.
Jetfire the Elder is the biggest and the funniest (outside of service).
Jetifre is the most professional of the bunch. A knight in battle-tested armor.
Jetfire the Younger is the smallest and brashest of the bunch. He has a need 4 speed.
Leader-1 is Elita's flight instructor on the Cybertronian equivalent of weekends, and a local commander of a crack team of air transformers known as "The Guardians" in most days.
Inspirational and brimming with self confidence. It's because of her Aerial has the code name of Elita-1!
