So what family time does Bee, Swindle, and the sparklings do together ❤️?
Sorry for the late response, been a busy day and was trying to think this one over.
Usually what any caring for their kiddos parents would do, @themadkatartist already has done a bunch of artwork of them just being a family together.
playing pretend, teaching them and generally making sure they grow up happy. Of course Swindle teaches his ways about life to the kiddos more, but Bee has to catch him sometimes so he can teach the kids not to scam or steal other people's stuff.
bonus note, Arcee and Hardtop teach them how to be sneaky prankters.
I love the thought that Swindle tries really hard to not show how much he cares. But those closest to him, its just soooo obvious. But they just play along, meanwhile Swindle is like "nailed it"
Oh yeah! Hardtop always calls him out of course, Bee just smiles and rolls his eyes before calling him out teasingly.
Swindle knows how to lie to everyone around him, but can never to family.
What were the sparklings' first steps, words, and vehicles?
well words would funnily enough, be saying Swindle's name.
since he spent most of his time taking care of them and being a good dad to them. It was a take on his name, like swinny and Swinle
copying a bit how Bee would call Swindle Swin or Swinny.
Bee of course tried to teach them many words while caring for them the most, but still learned swindle's name the most because of him calling out to the conmech a lot and figuring out "that must be sire's name!"
Trickshot started off as a jeep like swindle, Axle the same-ish race model call as Breakdown actually, as kids at least. They both would change the alt modes as teens/adults.
Trickshot would be an off road race car while Axle wanted to be like Swindle's jeep instead.
Are Bumblebee's sparklings the first newborns since the war of Cybertron?
This is Earthspark post season 1 related, we had a thought that after the amberstone exploded and the Malto kids sent out a revive shockwave it would also reset some systems in cybetronians.
So who knows if Axle and Trickshot are the first or not! there are assumed to be a lot more transformers on earth than we see in the show. hell there were several corpses of them in that one pit fight episode!
also there is THREE bebeh, third one comes in later :D
Do the Autobots, Decepticons, and let's not forget the Terrans know about Bee and Swindle relationship and their sparklings? If so, what was their reaction?
oh man, okay this will be a long one. since it's not just Swindle in the relationship, but also breakdown who also go him sparked. (who said you can't have two sires lmao)
So the relationship was a somewhat secret fling trine between the three. We are basically making season 2 run a bit differently in our plot here (as people usually do for this fandom i found out. XD)
it did get a bit too intimate one night for them of course and got Bee sparked with out realizing it as they thought they were infertile.
So Bee told Breakdown first when he found out about being sparked.
Breaks did not take it well and said Bee was lying, leaving him and going completely no contact.
So Bee ended up not telling Swindle, in the fears that he would just do the same as Breakdown and so went no contact with Swindle in the fears of being hurt twice the same way, but he couldn't just not tell anyone.
So Arcee got to know next when he was in distress and isolating himself, She of course was Pissed at what BD pulled, but happy for bee having kiddos, doesn't even care that it's from decepticons.
Btw we are working off a plot where season 2 and 3 went a bit differently and the green dome did happen still
So the dome happens, Prowl's ship crashes and the cons trapped inside of course go to it as they realize it's their escape and so on.
Arcee demands to go on this mission to help the ship, but really she has her personal agenda of needing to beat the shit out of Breakdown. Of course doesn't tell OP about that part up until she confronts Breaks.
Swindle overhears her and is of course confused and demands answers from Breakdown, who just blurts out in a none serious manner that bee is sparked, but that "Bee is absolutely lying, like there is no way that's possible."
Swindle of all bots even knows Bee is a terrible liar and is livid to hear this, since it explains why Bee went silent on him and he couldn't find him.
Several other bots overhear this of course and are shocked to say the least.
This is happening in the middle of trying to restart the ship of course.
So as they make a run for the ship, most of the cons make it on there and Breaks demands Swindle go with as he sees Swindle didn't even move from his spot after very much decking BD in the face hard with arcee
Hardtop also stays because Swin's his brother and would rather stay with him than on the ship with Breakdown.
When the cons overheard the arguing with Breaks and Swindle, they were mad at Breakdown of course, because even they know you don't just up an abandon your sparkling like that!
so yeah, the autobots also find out through Arcee after that when OP and Megs demands what happened and she explains the whole deal after the dust had settled.
both OP and Megs are shocked to say the least. OP excited to hear about the sparklings, Megs surprised it happened at all and with Swindle and BD of all bots.
Elita of course just as surprised as Megs, wheeljack probably figured it out when Bee had to take a physical and was the one to tell him, but at least kept it secret per Bee's request at the time.
Prowl is very much not happy about this
Maltos of course mixes of excitement, shock and of course Thrash being just as mad as Prowl.
Alright, think that was everything? at least everything we got for this plot figured out.
Maybe we will do a fic about this at some point lol.
So how did Swindle treat Bee's and Breakdown's sparking even though it isn't his?
Sweet, bonus son!
I kid, hahah! But I would think, even him being a con that sees basically everything as some form of profit, don't think he would just up and ignore Axle, hell he would treat him like his own just as much as he does Trickshot.
Like he would see the personal value of Axle having a better sire than what BD does in the plot me and @themadkatartist scrambled together lol
