Spent the weekend with the greatest friends a geek could ask for, and ended up having it decided that my hilariously tiny truck (when next to Ironhide) is now '07 game-verse Dropkick. May we get some crumbs of a somewhat niche background character?
I can try! I love how he wants it to be very clear which faction he belongs to. Subtlety is a foreign language to him 🤣

• Breathing out a curse word as you fumble and drop your coffee cup in the sink, you stare out at your truck. That teenagers apparently vandalized while you were sleeping. Spray painting weird graffiti all over it in silver and blue. Repeating the word, you step outside and shiver at the dew covered, cold boards of your porch under your bare feet as you gape at your truck. What is that on your hood? A gang sign? Knew you should have invested in one of those outdoor security cameras.
• Coming online to one of the native organics muttering as you pace in front of him, he wonders what the problem is. He’s a perfect copy of the vehicle he’d replaced. Though he had taken some liberties with the paint since it was boring. Hadn’t thought the human that lived in the dwelling would make so much fuss, though. Fighting down a growl when you pull a tiny communication device out of a pocket of your covering to aim it at him, he has the sinking suspicion that you’re recording him. Should he do something about that?
• Maybe you’re getting pranked? Someone moved your truck and replaced it with this thing as a joke. Maybe there are hidden cameras and a TV crew waiting to jump out and scare you. Looking around at your yard, all you hear is crickets and a songbird in a nearby tree. Maybe not. Do you call the cops or the insurance first? Circling the truck, you pull on the door handle and it doesn’t budge. Had you locked it? You usually don’t bother.
• Are you trying to get inside him? Knew it was a possibility when he’d picked this form and place to lay low. Hiding in plain sight and waiting on orders. But he doesn’t really want you poking around inside his interior. Watching you fumbling to pull a jangling wad of something from a pocket, you aim it at him and mash a button. What is that? What do you want? Wishes he’d researched humans some. Or at all. And you tug on his door handle again, still mashing that button, your field assaulting him with righteous indignation.
• Swearing when the door finally opens and you stumble back to nearly fall, your eyes narrow. Would blame the batteries in the fob, but you’re already weirded out. Skin crawling you look inside and the certainty that this isn’t your truck lifts through you. It’s too clean for one thing. Like showroom new. “Yeah, no,” you mutter backing away. Dialing the cops, you move slowly back toward the house. Know you’re being silly for not wanting to take your eyes off the truck, but you’re all the way weirded out. Definitely not turning your back on that thing.
As a show of good faith toward the remaining Decepticons at the beginning of a new, united Cybertron, newly appointed Senators Bumblebee and Soundwave allowed Shatter and Dropkick to enlist into Autobot City's Defense Team.
These two turned out to be... not the best choices.
The city may have fallen to Insurgent Decepticon occupation had it not been for young recruits Hot Rod and Arcee's accidental interception of Shatter's communication with the fugitive Starscream.
To replace the errant Defense Team members, Springer and Blurr were reassigned from Iacon to Autobot City in their stead.
Honesty a shattered glass version of the Bumblebee movie where they don't replace Bee with a Decepticon and Shatter and Dropkick with two Autobots would be so funny. Since, when Shatter tells the miltery people that the reason why they're there is to hunt down a dangerous criminal from their homw world wouldn't be a lie, and they found also actually talk to Charlie and Memo about their experiences with Bee to piece the whole picture together. So something like this would happen:
Shatter: *holds up a pic of Bumblebee to Charlie* this right here is a manipulative and cruel war criminal from our home world, and he is highly intelligent but a bit inpatient so he was mostly tricking you into thinking he was your friend.
Charlie:*has flashbacks to how earlier that day Bee stuck his hand in an electrical socket and trashed her house because he wanted to see how humans lived*
Since you're still accepting requests, how about Dropkick (bumblebee) with extremely sarcastic Reader?
Dropkick loves watching you tear into someone. Most of the time your sarcasm is good fun, meant to tease and ease the mood. Sometimes people push you too far and you snap, giving biting comments and hitting where it hurts. These are his favorite moments, watching your eyes narrow as you give someone a piece of your mind. You’re so small but you stand up for yourself and that’s hot.
Generally he likes your teasing, letting the sound of your voice wash over him as the two of you hang out. He’s not the best listener but he never tells you to shut it, unlike other people. Dropkick doesn’t give himself enough credit; he learns and retains more about you than even you realize. It’s funny when he does chime in. He’s so dry in his delivery it’s hard to tell if he’s teasing or bored.
Shatter can find you annoying and while Dropkick doesn’t agree, he’s not going to let you bother the boss either. He’ll take you on ‘dates’ when Shatter looks like she’s at the end of her rope, going to the beach or wherever else you decide. It takes you a bit to catch on but don’t say anything. If you tease him about being overprotective then he’ll let Shatter scold you next time.
He thinks your sarcasm is funny; Decepticons are only funny if they can last long enough and defend themselves. Not everyone likes a wise guy and Dropkick has seen more than a few clowns get thrown out an airlock for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. You either don’t care or don’t mind the looming threat because you never change how you talk. Dropkick finds it cute, how tough you talk even though you’re tiny. It’s what first gets his attention and he likes to egg you on, seeing how far you’ll go. You become partners in crime, much to Shatter’s pain.
