Earthspark Shockwave, Earthspark Grimlock and Earthspark Optimus accidentally hurting their Cybertronian SO (very badly)while they're under Mandroid's control.
I couldn’t manage to think of anything for Shockwave, sorry. For anyone who doesn’t want to be spoiled, both have a bit of spoilers- so it’s up to you if you want to read.
(TFES) Optimus Prime & (TFES) Grimlock with a Cybertronian S/O that they hurt while under Mandroid’s control:
Optimus Prime
{After everyone was brought back, there was a long moment of relaxation and an explanation for the Prime and the others as to what happened- when Optimus realized that he hadn’t seen you yet.}
{He went searching, and it didn’t take him too long to find you- you were back at the Malto’s. While you did leave with the others after the whole badge thing, you ended up returning- not knowing that a controlled Optimus (or the others) were going to suddenly awaken and attack.}
{He’s... concerned- why wouldn’t he be? When he gets closer, he can actually see all of the damage, which includes some missing limbs. Although... you’re alive. (Well, you just got brought back along with the others, but he wants you to stay that way).}
{He’s immediately trying to help you (it’s an unfortunate time to not have an actual medic), while trying to keep you awake- which includes him asking what happened/who had done this.}
{When you manage to point at him, Optimus frowns, and his finials lower. He never wanted to hurt you, but he was under control, he knows that... but it’s still upsetting- your his lover, he’s not supposed to do that, to anybody.}
{When you’re in a much more stable condition (somehow, despite them not having a medic), he’s already been visiting you before and after you wake up, the others included every now and then.}
{While recovering, you two will sit and talk- about the recent events, and other things. You’re quick to tell him that you forgive him, trying your best to reassure him.}
{Cuddles every now and then while recovering.}
Grimlock
{When he wakes up again after all of them get saved... he immediately remembers what happens. He couldn’t control himself, but he could still hear and see everything that’d been happening- like your screams.}
{He’s always been terrified of hurting others for one reason or another without meaning to- including you- so he doesn’t really take it that well.}
{When you eventually wake up, you’re repaired well enough, and in the little medbay. Some of the others are with you, but you don’t see your Conjunx.}
{That changes, though, when you watch Elita 1 leave, and shortly return with Grimlock, who must’ve been off doing... something, he seems upset, but you don’t say anything, not yet, at least.}
{Even when you do start to say something the first couple of times, he simply brushes it off, telling you that “I’m fine”, or something along those lines, and changing the subject.}
{Eventually, you figure out that he’s... scared that he’s going to hurt you again- he may not be under that control anymore, but he could potentially still do it from another reason.}
{You sit there with him and have a gentle talk with the Dinobot, just trying to reassure him.}
Hm... How about any characters you want with a big scary Cybertronian SO whose actually a sweetheart?
(G1) Starscream, (MTMTE/IDW1) Misfire, & (MTMTE/IDW1) Ambulon with a scary Cybertronian S/O who is really a sweetheart:
Starscream
{The two of you knew each other way before the war- and you also knew Skyfire, so Starscream knows how you are.}
{He knows that your just sweet- especially to him- and don’t really fight, but the others don’t know that- besides his trine. He likes seeing Megatron get nervous around you, as well as the Autobots.}
{If anything happens to him- either by the Autobots, Megatron, or something/someone else, you’re taking him to your shared quarters and cuddling with him, while trying your best with words.}
{You and Starscream will use your ‘scary’ status sometimes- mainly against Megatron, if he happens to be really angry at Starscream for failing.}
{When Starscream finally manages to become leader of the ‘Cons (although its short lived), you cuddle him then and there, complimenting your Conjunx. The others find this kind of awkward, but they’re still nervous/scared of you.}
Misfire
{You stormed your way onto the ship shortly after Krok and Spinister managed to save him- you almost got blasted by the two (mainly Spin), but Misfire quickly managed to defuse the situation and explain.}
{You’re much bigger than Grimlock and Spinister- arguably the tallest Scavengers, but they’re just in second and third place.}
{The two of you talk a ton, and are both kind of affectionate most of the time- the others see the two of you holding servos most of the time- and other times, you’re just holding him close.}
{You’ll protect him- and so will Grimlock. The group’s gotten into a lot of situations where they have to fight, and once the one(s) who caused it sees the two of you, Misfire can see that they’re nervous.}
{You’re just... very nice and affectionate with him, which Misfire likes. Especially when the two of you are alone. No matter where the two of you are, there’s so much you’re doing for him and saying.}
Ambulon
{There were things that Pharma wanted to do against Ambulon- but he never really could- considering that you were always with the mech, glaring deeply at Pharma whenever he happened to be around.}
{If Ambulon ever has a relatively bad day, you’re right there with him. Offering him any sort of comfort, while also offering to just go have a chat with whoever upset him (if it was somebody).}
{You’re always defending Ambulon, too, from countless things- and it’s actually a mech or something, they’re always quick to back off.}
{Everyone thinks you’re just scary and that’s it- they don’t know what you’ll do- besides Ambulon and the other medics.}
TFP Soundwave, TFP Shockwave and TFP Starscream with a Cybertronian Reader who can teleport
(TFP) Soundwave, (TFP) Shockwave, & (TFP) Starscream with a Cybertronian Reader with the ability to teleport:
Starscream
[You remind him of one of his trine-mates, Skywarp. Though only because you can teleport- other than that, you’re nothing like Skywarp.]
[He finds your ability pretty useful, especially when he’s not with the ‘Cons, since he could just have you teleport in, get Energon for him, and teleport out.]
[He wants to have you teleport for him a lot- to get Energon from the Nemesis, getting things from the Autobots base, etc. Although, teleporting so much/so frequently exhausts you.]
[He also learns that you can only teleport to places that you know about/have been to, so you can’t really go to some of the places he suggests—or, rather, orders.]
Shockwave
[You’re sent down to help Shockwave with science stuff, and that’s when he discovers your ability to teleport. He knew you vaguely in the past, but not of your ability.]
[While you still help him with whatever he was originally doing, Shockwave also decides to run little harmless (thankfully) tests with you involving your ability.]
[One of the tests is to see if you can teleport others with you- which you’ve surprisingly never done before. Turns out, you can... but, teleporting Predaking with you to another area took a lot out of you.]
[You aren’t really an outlier- if you were, you would’ve always been able to teleport. You just started randomly teleporting one day, which Shockwave is definitely curious about.]
Soundwave
[Just like with Shockwave, you can teleport others, but it always exhausts you. You find yourself exhausted a lot more frequently whenever groundbridges can’t happen (either from being activated by someone random, or by Soundwave himself).]
[He doesn’t have much to think or say (literally) about your teleporting.]
[Although, down the line, Soundwave discovers something after you tell him. You tell him that you haven’t always been able to teleport, and have been using a device to help you do that, which he does think is interesting. He’s curious about the device.]
Headcanons with TFP Soundwave, IDW Cygate and IDW Chromedome and Rewind finding out their Cybertronian SO was blinded protecting them
Headcanons with (TFP) Soundwave, (IDW1) Cygate, & (IDW1) CDRW involving their Cybertronian S/O going blind while protecting them:
Soundwave
[He’d just opened a ground-bridge while in the process of collecting something Megatron wanted- and he suddenly feels himself get pushed, followed by an explosion- sending the both of you back to the Nemesis.]
[It was Wheeljack’s doing. Soundwave immediately sends you to Breakdown and Knockout so that they can help you, while going to discuss things with Megatron.]
[During the little meeting, Breakdown interrupts. He explains that you will recover from your wounds, but... you don’t have your optics anymore- you just have empty sockets.]
[Soundwave tries his best to comfort you throughout it all.]
[To let you know that he’s around, besides using voice clips, he usually wraps his tendrils around you- he also does it if you’re about to bump into anything.]
[He feels bad that he unintentionally caused this. He wants Knockout and Breakdown to fix this, but the two don’t just... have anything for optics laying around.]
Cygate
[When attackers entered the Lost Light, you were with Tailgate- while Cyclonus had been in the bar. You and Tailgate begin to protect eachother, and Cyclonus tries to get to you two.]
[When Tailgate doesn’t notice an attacker from behind, you end up shoving him out of the way, and get blasted- one shot to the face, and one in the chassis. Cyclonus arrives to the sight of you collapsing and Tailgate panicking.]
[You wake up in the medibay... but not like you can entirely know that- you can’t see- and you immediately voice that. Causing Cyclonus to worry, and the already panicked Tailgate to worry even further, and quickly start apologizing.]
[Its not just a simple blast that caused you to go blind- there was something in the blast that got your face, and the medics are trying to find a way/a solution to fix this.]
[While the medics are doing this, the two stick with you and try to help you out with things.]
CDRW
[You’re waking up in the medibay, and it’s very much concerning that you can’t see—but you can feel Chromedome and Rewind’s presence with you—and you immediately remember what happened.]
[A fight broke out on the planet the Lost Light had stopped on. Two of the attackers had surrounded Chromedome and Rewind, but you went to help them—shooting at the attackers, and hoping to give CD and Rewind time to escape.]
[Among giving you other wounds before you got helped, the attackers ended up ripping out your optics.]
[When you wake up, it seems like the two have been talking for a while—to each other, and the unconscious you. They both wish that you hadn’t done that- but you don’t care too much about that, you’re just glad they’re both okay.]
[They stay with you as long as they can, they almost never leave your side in the medibay.]
[The three of you spend a lot of time discussing what happened, and what may happen—like if you aren’t able to get new optics or anything. Though, they’ll be there to help.]
[You were one of the only humans that he could tolerate—he even found himself enjoying your company and growing protective of you—part of it may have been because you felt the same about Megatron.]
[Speaking of Megatron, you actually helped Starscream with his attempts to get rid of the ‘Con leader to become the new Leader—which was where an... accident, happened.]
[A new plan had been put into motion—which was just Starscream planning on shooting Megatron in the spark—but Soundwave sent out his minicon’s to deal with/stop Starscream.]
[He didn’t mean to, Rumble and Frenzy were covering his optics—but his null-ray’s still went off... but instead of shooting Megatron, they’d shot you, who had been watching nearby.]
[Megatron decides to mock Starscream about it—mainly every time the Seeker tries to do another thing to try and get rid of him.]
[Although Starscream tries to claim that he didn’t care about you, your death obviously affects him— it’s especially clear to Thundercracker and Skywarp that he misses you.]
[He doesn’t blame himself though for your death- he decides to blame Soundwave for it.]
Swindle
[You’d met and joined him while he was out trying to find his brother, and that’s what the two of you were doing when the... accident, happened.]
[You two weren’t having any luck at finding his brother, or any clues... but the Autobots had luck finding Swindle- at least it wasn’t GHOST.]
[Long story short, Swindle got into a fight with Bumblebee and Elita 1—he wasn’t holding you anymore, but he just set you down beside him, and got distracted with the Autobots—he’d rather drive off, but at the moment, that was hard.]
[As you attempted to try and move out of the way of the Cybertronians fighting, Swindle fell backwards from a blast, and... fell on top of you, squishing you.]
[The fight stops there- as he picks you up, and drives away finally—getting far enough, and then he focuses on you.]
[He feels horrible- that much is obvious. While he does grief, he tries not to focus on you too much, and tries to think of you as just a random human that was helping him in a search for his sibling—nothing else. He definitely didn’t care.]
[What happened to you also makes him more worried over Hardtop—what if he lost you and his brother? He doesn’t know Hardtop’s condition.]
Predaking
[He’d heard of the human that had been captured a while ago, and he was actually put on watch duty of you- and he just became protective of you.]
[He and Starscream got into a fight- or, well, he got enraged at how the Seeker was treating him, and started to attack him- while Starscream was trying to get away, and you were caught up in it all.]
[You attempted to calm the Predacon down, but to no avail. You also didn’t have much of a chance to do anything—Predaking’s swinging tail had hit you full force, causing you to fly back and hit the wall.]
[Predaking had immediately stopped, much to Starscream’s relief, and walked over to your body. He attempted waking you up in a bunch of different ways, but unfortunately, you didn’t wake up.]
[He grieves you, and feels absolutely horrible—he stays with you for a good while, not moving from that spot.]
[Nobody can really get him to do anything else, either—he won’t even really listen to Shockwave.]
G1 Bumblebee, IDW First Aid and IDW Ambulon with Cybertronian Reader getting their voice box ripped out in front of them
(G1) Bumblebee, (IDW1/MTMTE) First Aid, & (IDW1/MTMTE) Ambulon with Cybertronian Reader who has their voice box ripped out:
Bumblebee
[He doesn’t actually see it happen to you in person. You got captured, so he and his fellow Autobots go to rescue you, and he accidentally trips over something, activating a video- which plays what happened. Someone recorded it.]
[He’s horrified and panicked, wanting to find you even more- the whole time, he’s comforted by whoever went with him to save you. It doesn’t take long before he finds the cell you’re in.]
[You’re panicked, too, and in a lot of pain. At least there isn’t any energon leaking/pouring out from where your voice box got ripped out. He feels bad for you.]
[He’s talking to you the whole time (trying to comfort you) and get you out of here. Although you can’t speak anymore, you can at least mouth the words (if you aren’t wearing a mask), or you’re just doing gestures. He understands... sorta.]
[When you get back to the base, safe, Bee is there to comfort and reassure you as best as he can.]
[Getting a new voice box isn’t exactly impossible, it’s just difficult, because Ratchet doesn’t just have one in the medical bay, but he’ll look- Bee will help, too.]
First Aid
[You all got into a fight with some aliens that managed to board the Lost Light. First Aid finds himself being held back by some, while you’re trying to help him.]
[He watches in horror as one of the aliens just grabs you like a light sack, and rips out your voice box. The noises you made as it was ripped out were heartbreaking, and he remembers them.]
[Some help comes for the two of you, though by the time First Aid gets to you, you’ve suffered some extra damage, and you lost consciousness- either from the pain, or Energon loss, or probably both.]
[When you wake up in the medibay, you notice First Aid nearby, staring at something, with Ratchet trying to reassure him. It’s only when you knock against the berth, that they know you’re awake.]
[First Aid goes to your side, apologizing, and promising that he’ll help you.]
[You realize the item that he was staring at happened to be your voice box. It’s not in perfect condition- it’s crushed up, but not the worst that it could be- it’s fixable.]
Ambulon
[You got taken along with him and First Aid to where Pharma and Ratchet were. You’re not too sure what’s going on, though, you’re pretty off, as you’d been recovering from something else.]
[Although, the next thing you know and feel is your voice box being ripped out— and, primus, it hurts. You can also hear Ambulon shouting. You can hear other things, too, like Pharma talking, but you aren’t focused on him.]
[Ambulon wants to help you- he’s never liked seeing you in any sort of pain. Although, there’s nothing that he can do right now with what’s happening. He guesses he’l have to do it once this is all over...]
[You losing your voice box isn’t going to be the worst kind of pain that you feel here...]
IDW Tailgate reuniting with his Cybertronian SO after being stuck in the hole for 3 million years, only to find out they're a member of the DJD :)
(IDW1/MTMTE) Tailgate reuniting with his Cybertronian S/O, who happens to be a member of the DJD:
{You assumed he was dead, plan and simple. Before Tailgate left, the two of you never managed to create a spark bond, so you can’t really check through that.}
{You’d already comm’d him a bunch of times in the past, and got no response, and so you simply got rid of his comm line- you figured since he was gone, no since in keeping that.}
{When Tailgate learned of the whole war, it was a lot to take in, but he was also worried about you. Were you okay? Did you survive any of that? Where were you? He tries to comm you, but nothing happens.}
{It’s more of a private and sudden encounter that the two of you have, thankfully without the rest of the DJD.}
{You’d both been on your own separate walks, when you run into each-other. You immediately recognize him, and he immediately recognizes you, even if there are some changes.}
{You both just have the reaction of “I thought you were dead???” but are both relieved- who wouldn’t be? Tailgate starts explaining to you what had happened to him/where’d gone, while you listen.}
{He then ends up asking if you want to come back with him- he’s just so happy to see you again, and he’s sure the others would like to be introduced, he’s talked about you a lot.}
{While it does sound nice... you decline, while also asking him to call you a different name (your DJD name). You do want to go with your Conjunx... but you can’t just leave the DJD.}
{For you, everything goes back to normal... except occasionally thinking about him- and you really do want to go back to him. You don’t want to hurt him (especially during that whole battle), but you can’t leave/betray the DJD... you already know what happened to the last person who did.}
{When Tailgate actually fully learns about the DJD, and learns that you’re among them, he panics. He knew that you were a ‘Con (thanks to your insignia), but he didn’t think/realize that you were apart of this group. He wonders why you joined them.}
{He just wants you back- he sees you after so so long, and now he’s learned this.}
Headcanons for TFP Shockwave, IDW Tarn and G1 First Aid finding out that SO had an empurata performed on them :)
Headcanons for (TFP) Shockwave, (IDW1) Tarn, & (G1) First Aid with a Cybertronian S/O who went through Empurata:
First Aid
[He’d never heard of Empurata before. But, when you show back up to the Ark, having claws instead of your hands, and having a single optic instead of your regular face, he already knows this is bad.]
[He feels horrible for you, and wants to help you out- he comforts you a ton throughout this whole thing.]
[He’s a medic, he doesn’t fight—but he’s going to protect you if, whoever did this to you, ever shows back up. He doesn’t want anything else to happen to you.]
[If you ever make any comments about your appearance through all of this, he’s going to tell you that it doesn’t matter to him—he still loves you.]
[With the help of Ratchet and some others, he finds a way to help, and he’s going to be the one performing the surgery on you—as long as you still want to be changed in the end.]
Shockwave
[He hadn’t seen you in a long time- you didn’t come with him to Earth, but you finally show up down the line... and he immediately knows what happened—he went through it, too, after all.]
[Seeing you like this... especially seeing how you’re reacting and dealing with this, almost makes him feel... enraged, sad—a mix of so many things, but he pushes those away/ignoring it, that’s illogical.]
[Shockwave isn’t... good, with things like this, though. If he ever attempts to comfort/reassure you in any sort of way, either with words or anything else, it’s not gonna be that great- but at least he’s sort of trying.]
[He’s immediately making his way to Knockout, asking (or, kind of just ordering him), to do something about this.]
Tarn
[You were all separated looking for a rather slippery target—and, while you did end up running into a target, they weren’t the one that all of you were going after—and this one is pretty dangerous.]
[Tarn finds you when the current target tries escaping, running into a building—where you happen to be, with the procedure has been done—but it feels like everything was done in a hurry.]
[The leader of the DJD is rather horrified. He sends The Pet and Kaon, who’d been with him, after the current target, while he deals with you—who, at the moment, is unconscious.]
[When you wake up, you’re in the medbay, Tarn is discussing things with Nickel—wondering if she can do anything, or if they’ll have to find someone else.]
[You remember everything about the one who did this to you—and so you tell Tarn. The mech who did this to you just got bumped up onto the list much, much higher.]
