Hello! I was wondering if you could do a TFP version of NightLight?
I wonder who's going to be the next TFP Version?
Hope you enjoy!
TFP Version of Nightlight

TFP
Nightlight, before the war worked as a guard for the Senate.
Nothing too big, more of a glorified bouncer.
She didn’t like most of the Senators, but the shanix was good and had a bit more energon than the average bot.
She met Orion Pax and Megatronus on the day of their speeches.
Nightlight was moved by both their speeches of wanted change for Cybertron.
Even when she does choose a side, she isn’t afraid to admit that Megatronus had some points that made her consider her choose in becoming an Autobot.
But in the end, she did choose to become an Autobot.
Soon enough, Nightlight found herself being a bodyguard once again, but this time for someone she actually cared for.
Optimus Prime himself.
Nightlight took her job seriously, practically becoming Prime’s second shadow.
She was never too far from the Prime and refused to leave him, even in the heat of battle she fought fiercely for the Prime to escape.
Because of this, Nightlight had become a bit of a regular patient in the med bay.
She knew Ratchet when they both were in medical school, something she dropped after getting her new job.
Ratchet muttering under his breath as he patches up Nightlight. Ratchet: “Any more injuries I should know about?” Nightlight: “No, that’ll be all.” Nightlight goes to stand up, but Ratchet grabs her servo and pulls her back down. Ratchet: “I didn’t say stand up. You’re not done.” Nightlight: “Ratchet I’m fine. I need to get back to Optimus.” Ratchet: “I’m sure Optimus can stand without you for a bit longer.” Nightlight smirking: “Aww, I knew you liked me Ratchet.” Ratchet: “I know what your doing Nightlight. That might have worked in med school, but I’m a different mech now.” Nightlight huffing letting Ratchet do more scans. Nightlight: “Don’t I know.” Both look at each other and share a small smile before going back to work.
As more and more bots started dwindling, Nightlight soon became a detective in finding lost bots.
Most of the time, she was successful in retrieving them back to base.
Other times… let’s just say she always had a data pad ready to put the bots’ names in the KIA list.
She was the one they sent out when Arcee, Tailgate and Bumblebee were captured.
Nightlight ended up making many friends this way.
She originally didn’t want to make friends in this specific line of work, but after a while it became her reason to find them.
You never know when they would… disappear.
Ironically, it would be Nightlight who would end up going missing.
It happened during one of her outings and was never reported back.
Timeskip to Earth…
Optimus and Bumblebee were scouting around a canyon when they saw a pod stuck in between some rocks.
And someone inside was trying to break open the glass.
Optimus and Bumblebee quickly went over and started shifting the pod around so they could open it.
Which wouldn’t be necessary because the bot inside had successfully kicked the pods glass and jumped out.
Nightlight venting a bit before realizing who had just helped her. Nightlight salutes Optimus. Nightlight: “Nightlight reporting for—” Bumblebee: “BBEEEPP! (NIGHTLIGHT!)” The young scout immediately went in for a hug. Nightlight was caught a bit off guard by the sudden affection but gave him a pat on the back. Optimus places a servo on her shoulder. Optimus: “It is good to see you, old friend.” Bee finally let’s go as Nightlight looks around. Nightlight: “Sir, where are we?” Optimus: “It is a long story Nightlight. Best we get to base before the Decepticons find us.”
It was a shock to all the bots on base when Optimus and Bumblebee came back with an extra bot.
Nightlight of all bots as well.
There was a small celebration for the return of the bot.
Speaking of which was paused temporary for the pickup of the kids.
Each guardian gave a bit of a run down on what to expect from Nightlight, the greatest detective the Autobots ever had.
The kids get off of their guardian’s alt modes. Nightlight was talking to Ratchet when she noticed the small organics walking up to her. She kneeled to get a better look at them. Miko was the first one to speak. Miko: “So you’re the ‘greatest detective’ Bulkhead’s been talking about? Nightlight, right?” Nightlight: “Yes, that is my designation. And you are…” Jack: “She’s Miko, I’m Jack, and this is Raf.” Raf waved at her. Nightlight slowly waved back making the boy smile back. Nightlight notices Miko staring a bit at her. Nightlight: “Do you have a question?” Miko: “Why do you look like Batman?” Nightlight: “Who?”
There was actually a good explanation to that.
While the others were out, Nightlight had briefly escaped the base and was looking around until she spotted a decent alt mode.
How was she supposed to know that the model of the Batmobile wasn’t something people on Earth drove?
She thought it looked nice and scanned.
Nightlight has no idea at first why the kids are enamored by her alt mode… nor does she say anything about it.
She is ready to defend these kids to the bitter end like the rest of her team.
It takes Nightlight a while to get used to the new situation on earth.
Mainly her recharging schedule.
Ratchet and Optimus have lost count the number of times they have spotted Nightlight making rounds around the base or simply guarding her teammates habsuites.
Ratchet working late again. Nightlight behind him. Nightlight: “You need to recharge Ratchet.” Ratchet jumps and lets out a small yelp before realizing who it was. Ratchet: “Why are you awake!” Nightlight: “I could ask you the same question.” Ratchet huffs. Ratchet: “I have work to do.” Nightlight smirks a bit. Nightlight: “Same workaholic Ratchet.” Ratchet: “Same stubborn Nightlight—Hey!” Nightlight picks up Ratchet bridal style and walks to his habsuite. Nightlight: “Hush.” Ratchet: “I have work—” Nightlight glares at him, daring to say another word. Ratchet: “That doesn’t work on me.” Nightlight: “But it’s a good distraction, we’re here.” Nightlight opens ratchet’s habsuite and plops him on the berth. Ratchet is a bit surprised to see her sit down next to him. Nightlight: “I’m staying here until I know you get enough hours of sleep.” Ratchet already feeling sleepy. Ratchet: “Hypocrite. How much sleep have you been getting?” Nightlight: “I’ll get some when you do Ratchet.” Ratchet’s optics get heavier. Ratchet: “Stubborn Nightlight…” Nightlight chuckles softly seeing Ratchet already knocked out cold. Nightlight: “Workaholic Ratchet… night.”
