Would soundwave try to put baby bee in his subspace with the other cassettes?

Bee would go hang out there himself.

That's a small dark space inside one of the coolest people he knows- he's getting in there.

Kid needs to learn somehow ig

Your teaching methods could use some work though, Oppy…

I always imagined sparklings to have a Tiny Terror phase as they were developing, made out of toothpicks and ball joints and they were INCREDIBLY angry about it. They grow out of it, though. Eventually.

Hey I have a bit of an odd question.

The most common way to refer to creators in a Transformers Mechpreg story are “carrier” and “sire”. Now I kinda wonder do tiny sparklings call their creators carrier and sire as well or is there a “baby-talk” version of it kinda like how we humans will refer to our mothers and fathers as “mom and dad” and “mama and papa”.

I like to think that the baby-talk version of carrier is “carry” but i don’t know what the baby-talk version if sire would be. Any suggestions and ideas or welcome. Or heck if you think cybertronian kids don’t use any baby-talk versions when addressing their creators and just call them “carrier and sire” let me know.

Sparkling object permanence isn’t great when they first develop optics instead of basic light sensors, they’re still figuring out that things Exist.

I’m saying sparklings sometimes run into glass doors.

Little B-127: *standing patiently at a glass door waiting to be let in*

Jazz: Imma comin’, Bibo. *sudden devious thought*

Jazz: *mimes opening the door* Okay, B, you can come in now.

Little B-127: *bonks his head on the door*

Jazz: *filming*

Optimus: *manifesting menacingly behind him bc B is crying now*

Later:

Little B-127: *standing patiently at an open door* ((traumatised))

Optimus: ‘No, trust me, Optimus, it was really funny.’ Jazz, if this has permanently stunted his growth, I will toss you out of an airlock-…

Optimus: *mimes opening the door and sticks his hand through the empty air to prove it* Come on in, Littlest One.

Little B-127: *happily toddles through*

B-127, where are you?

____________________

Megatron can’t find b-127

He. Looked. Everywhere!

Ever since he let bee stay with the high guard, still figuring out how to get him home, his decepticons are in higher spirits. He wouldn’t say it out loud… but he was also in high spirits when the sparkling’s here… only problem?

B-127 is nowhere to be found. He looked around the throne room, the med bay, the area outside where he found him crying, everywhere!

He even check on starscream to see if he was hogging the sparkling again. Not even starscream had seen him. In the end (after destroying the base) he accepted the fact that bee might’ve returned to Iacon.

“Soundwave, report.” Megatron states, awaiting for his now communications officer to report what he saw. “Today’s scans: as normal as starscream’s treachery.”

“I heard that!!” The seeker yells, huffing and mumbling in a language megatron doesn’t seem to recognise. “Starscream: vosian, heritage before the primes fall.” Soundwave answers.

‘Ah, that makes sense.’ Megatron thinks for a moment, then another thought popped up. ‘He’s happier than usual… why is he happier?’ Megatron thinks again as the now war-frame looks directly at the mind reader.

“You are… happier today.” He says looking at Soundwave suspiciously. “Soundwave: looks like this. Conclusion: need to update visor and mouth guard.” He answers.

“True… but your em field says otherwise, it’s like your hiding-.” Megatron stops, optics widened as he finally realised whose turn it is today.

“… soundwave, do you know the whereabouts of b-127?” Megatron finally asks, watching Soundwave’s body language as the bot’s em field beams at the question.

“Soundwave: waited for that query. Rumble, frenzy, b-127, eject.” Just when he pushes the button, rumble, frenzy and bee popped their helms out, giggling.

“Hi megs!” Bee waves, smiling wide as megatron stares, blinking. ‘… bee’s going to be the death of me, I swear..! That is adorable though-.’

Megatron thought, Soundwave smiles cheekily to himself and held b-127 in his servos, passing him to megatron as the sparkling’s servos reached for megatron.

“Thank you Soundwave, but please refrain from pulling that stunt again.”

Megatron says, holding b-127 close and protectively in his restarlueus. “Understood.” Soundwave nods and left with his cassettes. Megatron turns to bee with furrowed ridges. “Have you been with Soundwave the entire time?” Megatron asks.

“Yeah! He’s the coolest bot in the high guard! You’re still cool yourself but Soundwave earns the title of best bot. Not best friend which that title-.”

Megatron cut bee off, hugging the smaller bot. “Meggy? Are you ok?” Bee asks, concern going through his processor. “I’m-… I’ll be fine. I need this.” He mumbles, sighing in relief as b-127 hugs megatron.

This is real. Bee’s real… in the metal. And still here.

“I’ll be ok, but promise me you’ll never leave.” He asks staring at the wall he had shot at.

“I dunno... that’s a big promise.” Bee mutters, burying his helm between the shoulder joint and neck guard as megatron. “Just-… please.” Megatron asks.

He’s already lost one bot he cares about, he’s not about to lose another. Not ever. “But what about the whole, ‘figuring out to get me back’ thing?” Bee asks. “We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. Ok?”

“… ok.” B-127 nods, earning a pat on his helm. “Good bot… by the way you’re grounded.”

“… but I’m already a grounder though.”

“Snrk, it’s grounded. Not grounder.” Megatron informs.

“Ooooh… what’s grounded?” B-127 asks, tilting his helm. “I think Soundwave is the best at explaining it.”

Okie dokie… another of @yuukirita’s babybee au.

Here’s the art they did that got me thinking of doing this -> (papa/mama Soundwave strikes again) <-

Now served with the million dollar question… does babybee know and learn what grounded means?? (I don’t actually have a million dollars… I have a toy t-Rex and an uno reverse card tho-)

Do carriers nurse their sparklings?

White energon is intended for this, because Sparklings cannot process regular energon (it is too powerful for them) until they reach the appropriate age.

White energon is weaker, but it has many useful minerals for growth and development. White energon is formed from the regular energon that the carrier consumes, plus some of it is broken down into these necessary minerals. Therefore, when nurse, the Carrier must consume twice as much energon ( and also during carrying)
