little warmup doodles with @paradimeart's criminally adorable Orbabies concept/au.
a couple of headcannons into play here and i'm gonna be a bit loose and wild with explanations so here we go-
a) Jazz hums to himself a lot, a specific tune if you listen closely long enough. This makes him a bit of a protorb magnet in general, but also makes him very good at settling them down.
b) Moonracer's protorb batch was a more experiment bit of coding from the Vector Sigma. Blurr was a part of this batch. This unfortunately led to more issues for the bots of this batch, specifically overcharged sparks. Long story short, their sparks are "too big" for their little forms, forcing their body to try and find other outlets. (the stress from a spark being overcharged for a long period of time leads to yellow optics, as opposed to the typical blue)
In Blurr's case, he was able to address this at a young by burning off the excess energy via his speed. In Moonracer's case, her spark developed her anti-gravity regulator. However, many protorbs went offline due to being unable to find an outlet and burning themselves out.
c) Moonracer was an absolute MENACE as a protorb/protomech, between her having 0 control of her anti-gravity regulator and her overcharged spark making her more prone to meltdowns.
With all these factors, Moonorb was loosely assigned to Jazz's care for a while. Here she picked up his humming habit, adding her own chirps and whirs to the tune.
She still has a humming habit, much to her peers often irritation.
