I would love to see more of Elita being Mama One to Bee and Hotrod because her parenting methods for Hotrod and Bumblebee are completely different.
With Bee? He’s her baby. Her little Bibo. Her beanie baby go-bot. Her little bumper car. She trained him to shoot a sniper rifle with deadly precision all while he had a giant, adoringly placed kiss mark on his forehead. Doesn’t matter that he’s a grown adult now and stands a full head taller than her, she still takes offence when Bee doesn’t come to her to let her help him with his polish because that’s her JOB. When she sees him she gets cuteness aggression like nothing before. He’s not allowed to leave without letting her kiss him goodbye.
With Hotrod? He’s that little shithead that she loves so much. She can, has and will slam dunk that fool during training when he gets too cocky. She calls him ‘Knuckle-buster’ and ‘lead head’ and noogies him and kicks his pedes out from under him because she knows he can take it. The only reason she leaves a kiss mark on his forehead is because she’s wearing permanent stain and he’ll have to walk around with it all day and be called a Mama’s Boy. Hotrod is his Mama’s Boy, though. He’ll always be welcome when he needs her.
