How would ultra magnus, sentinel and the rest of the elite react to bumblebee and sari fusing?
It would definitely be in the middle of a fight, given that I doubt Sari and Bee would be comfortable relaxing to the point they’d fuse around the Elite Guard.
Ultra Magnus is shocked to say the least. He’s never seen anything like this before - not even with combiners. He doesn’t really interact with Sarbee during the fight or afterwards, since Sarbee wants to stick around for a bit. He’s quietly watching them, but he’s definitely going to talk to Ratchet and Optimus about this. He may or may not be coming up with some ideas to propose to Preceptor and Wheeljack once he gets back to Cybertron SOMEBODY STOP HIM
Sentinel is, to absolutely no one’s surprise, disgusted. Like, beyond disgusted. He actually gets nauseous when he see Sarbee for the first time. He refuses to get anywhere near them or any other human. He doesn’t understand the logistics of fusion, and he isn’t going to listen. he’s convinced it’s some kind of possession thing straight out of a horror movie. He’ll probably try to stay on the ship for the rest of their visit. He just wants to go back to Cybertron.
Jazz is hesitantly curious. He’s cautious, but he’s definitely going to learn more about Sarbee. He just needs to build up the courage first. Prowl definitely helps him get over some of his xenophobic assumptions. He’s especially interested in how Sarbee’s thought process works. The whole “one being, not two people” conversation is one that he loves discussing in-depth.
Jetfire and Jetstorm actually don’t understand at first. They think that Sari and Bumblebee are another Combiner team like them. Prime’s team tries to explain it, and Sarbee will try to once or twice, but it just. Doesn’t land. Like at all. They’re willing to ignore the fact that Sarbee is a quarter organic in favor of having a combiner flying buddy. And maybe pranking Sentinel. Maybe.
For the most part, Sarbee sticks with Jazz or the Jettwins, but mostly the Jettwins, since they want to go flying. Jazz just wants to sit down and ask a bunch of questions that make their brain hurt. Ultra Magnus makes them uncomfortable, and Sentinel just pisses them off.
