Tfa bots elite guard and cons react to the sparkling beans
So, I will do it just this once because it is sparkling beans. But this request is for too many people. My limit is 5 bots/cons per ask. So this is just a one-time thing doing this many. I will also only be doing short spurts for each because of how many.
~~
Autobots:
Optimus is desperately trying to keep them safe, contained, and happy. He was fine taking on the responsibilities of Earth, he was fine facing the Decepticons. But caring for a bunch of fresh sparklings was not what he was prepared for. He's usually rushing around with at least five beans stuck to him and cradled in his arms, while also following the rest around to make sure they are safe. None of the beans rarely ever leave his sight.
Ratchet took it upon himself to make sure they were fed and healthy. That was where he was going to draw the line on his responsibilities with the beans. Yet somehow he found himself working with several sparklings delicately placed around his work area, placed in hand-made beds/cots, along with two cuddled in his arms. He was going to leave the caring side of it up to the others. But the sparklings were so tiny and delicate that he found it hard to leave them with the others and trust they would keep them safe. As long as they were with him, he knew he could keep them protected.
Bulkhead wanted to interact with and help care for the sparkling beans. But the others were very reluctant and kept them away from him. Bulkhead did everything he could to show he was capable of being soft and delicate, even taking lessons from Prowl. It took time and practice, but eventually, the others allowed him access to the sparklings. He is very careful with them. He loves playing with them and is happy he can help care for them.
Prowl is great with the sparklings. He's delicate, soft, and caring. He likes to sit quietly with them, play with them, or sometimes just watch how they act. He's always patient with them and is not bothered by their cries. He often pulls faces to cheer them up, but none of the others have seen him do it. It's his special trick with the sparkings. Their small squeaks of jot warm his spark.
Bumblebee made a race track down a hill and rolled the sparkling beans down it. He lost sparkling privileges pretty quickly. It took a long time, a lot of lectures, and weeks of constant supervision before he was able to be around them again. He was happy to be with them again because the sparkings were cute and fun to play with.
Elite Guard:
Sentinel stays far away from the sparklings. Instead, he drops the responsibilities onto the others. He thinks they are noisy, fussy, and messy and he has much more important things to do.
Jazz makes sure to keep them safe and happy. He learns all he can about caring for them, often calling Ratchet to ensure he does it properly. But he's good at it. He can soothe and get the sparklings to sleep pretty quickly, the fastest out of all of them. He likes to hold them to his chest while he hums, and does his tasks. He thinks they need all the attention and affection they can get in their early stages. He wants them to be raised well and he's going to try his best to do that.
The twins are super hyperactive around the sparklings when they first arrive. They kept picking them up and rushing around the room, stating how cute they were. They would try to pick up as many as they could at once often resulting in one of two getting dropped (onto soft mats/blankets). Jazz gave them a calm but stern talking to, afterwards they calmed down and were much more useful and helpful in caring for them.
Decepticons:
Megatron had far more important things to do than care for sparklings. Yet he also did not trust his Decepticons to do it. Or at least, most of them. So he cares for the tiny beans. He carries them around, completing takes with them tucked in his arm. And if any of the other cons caused harm to the sparklings, he would hurt the con.
Lugnut was not allowed anywhere near the sparklings. He pouts about it, wanting to show Megatron he was capable. But no matter how much he asked, he was still banned from going near them.
Blitzwing takes good care of the sparklings, He tries to keep Icy in control when around them, but the other two sides of him are still able to take good enough care of them. He made sure they had beds, food, and entertainment. He was usually able to fill all those needs by himself. He enjoyed the little beans' company and getting to care for them. They made him feel warm and fuzzy inside, a feeling he had not felt for a long time.
Starscream wanted to collect all of them to create an army he could raise himself. Then he remembered what happened with his clones. Instead, he carries one around. They are his little companion and he focuses all his time and energy on the one bean to ensure it gets raised well and to his standards.
