Well, since you asked so nicely @kalamitywitch.
This is gonna be me answering some questions I think people might have, tho you can ask more if you want. Plus menace reveal at the end so hold on tight.
Who is menace?
Menace is the baby transformer Stanley finds and raises as his own, though he only gave him his name because Stanley was sure 'he's gonna be a menace when he grows up'. Menace does have a human name; stanson pines. Why stanson? Because he's stan's son.
How did Stanley and menace meet?
Stanley found menace in a trashcan when he was taking out the trash way back in 2007, though he only checked the trashcan to look for raccoons but found a baby bot the size of a five week old kitten.
How old is menace?
Menace, during the time of the show (2012) is five, but during weirdmageddon turns six. Why do I point this out? Well, I saw out of context comic pages of a transformer being raised by aliens and getting growth spurts when they turn five. Though I know that's not how it works now, due to finding more pages, the only explanation I have for that is that menace is a mitosis baby.
What is a mitosis baby?
Its a nod off of how transformers used to 'reproduce', though it was just their bodies splitting into two copies. The idea is similar, but it's basically a small part of the transformers spark/soul splitting off and shooting out of the bigger body, collecting extra metals as it passes to form a small body for its own. Mitosis babies are kinda just caterpillars, They need to eat a lot of metals and energy just to have enough to morph to their big size, and because robots don't produce waste, there's really no mess left behind. But they also learn things very quickly, literally the masters of watch and learn.
If menace is a mitosis baby, then who was he born of?
I think the answer is going to be very obvious when you see him.
Does anyone else know that he's a transformer?
Well, soos and Stanley know, but during the five years of raising him, they've learned how to disguise him so that no one else freaks out (especially since the transformer movies that came out in 2007 were bayverse). I mean, what harm is a onesie and a big red jacket that mightve belonged to stanley gonna do?
Does menace know hes one?
He does but he wants to be stanleys son a bit more than a war bot. He's already learned so much from Stanley that he's almost like a little copycat. Hell, half of what menace does is stuff he learned from stanley, especially the stealing.
And since those are all the questions I can think of right now, here's your promised menace picture (what he looked like when stanley found him. Yes, he is kinda based off of the transformers kindergarten series)
