(( I am going to answer the asks but. something funny happened in which involved 3 optimuses AT THE SAME TIME ending up in my inbox!!! @oneshallstand, @atlas-ordained, and @virtute-praeditum !!! so while yes i am going to give each one their own individual ask answers i just HAD to draw something for the occasion!!! also this is a great time to mention that starburst is very SMELL centric. each optimus smells different that's how she can tell the difference. also drawing tfp optimus sucks ASS. thank you boximus for being ez to draw ))

"So ... Why do you want a jetpack so badly? Flying is just ... You know, falling in style. The ground is so much nicer" Fixit hums as he wheels around Optimus in thought, like a little ginger moon.

He's sizing up armour plates for the best place to adhere for this. Probably ... Between the shoulders, right? Or, maybe above the hips? he didn't want to burn the Prime, it was so weird to have a Prime that wasn't Solas, with his thrusters.

Don't mind excitement shaky servos just offering up a battle card of Optimus Prime in all his glory. The image was metallic and shiny, the edges and title of the card in gold, and depending how you held the card, the image seemed to jump between an 18 wheeler and the current Prime.

Don't mind the little star eyes of the mech holding it.

Sign. Sign. Sign. Sing

@somniferouswings:

A little orange butterfly flutters near the robot. Perfectly normal and unobtrusive. It seems to be curious.

@virtute-praeditum:

    Naturally intrigued and admiring of lifeforms, especially those resembling Earth’s strange yet elegant organic shapes, Optimus soon noticed the orange butterfly. What a pretty little fragile creature. His helm tilted, optics following it without moving any other section of himself in an effort to avoid startling.

    He even kept a content exvent slow, in case a swifter cycling of air would disturb it.

The butterfly flew closer, and soon alighted on the front edge of Optimus's boxlike chassis. Its delicate wings opened and closed as it basked in the sunlight, lacking any fear of the being so much larger than it. Most likely it was ignorant to its perch being a living being.

... Or so it seemed.

Ever so subtly a mind was probing, sampling the qualities of a soul that had so many times cheated death much as it might taste nectar.

@virtute-praeditum liked for a starter!

Oh, she's been sent on yet another mission. Infiltrate the Autobots, cause as much destruction as possible. Do NOT get caught and captured. Yes, yes, all things that she can and she is VERY good at doing...

She's lumbering along, in her typical large and loud way, before... wait! Optimus Prime!? That's possibly THE worst person to find her!! As luck would have it, there's a convenient, comically large boulder, right here and perfect for hiding.

However, the not so convenient thing about this large boulder, is that she is in fact larger than a large boulder. She is extra large.

"Grrrrrahaha! This is a great hiding space, and no one shall find me!"

Unfortunately, she is also extra loud, and doesn't realize that her inside thoughts shouldn't be outside ones when you are trying to be sneaky.

[stellarcuriosity]

👋 Because she is a good dragon at heart and should get head pats. Perhaps one day she will even realize she would be happier with the Autobots! @virtute-praeditum

Send a 👋 to pat my muse’s head!

Oh, this would CERTAINLY jeopardize the mission!! Here she was, getting PETS from the ENEMY, Optimus Prime!! What would her leaders say!?

...

Well, whatever they had to say, it was not important. Not as important as the pets that Supernova was receiving. Perhaps, if he was giving her pets, she would be given energon as well? Hmm.... Maybe she could hang out with these Autobots a little longer...

[stellarcuriosity]

💭 @virtute-praeditum make it three

Truthfully, Supernova did not have many thoughts when it came to forming opinions... but to be fair, she did not have very many thoughts at all. One of the higher ranking Decepticons would point at something, and she'd blow it up or bite it to pieces.

However, when she took the time to NOT attack the Autobots right away... they were actually pretty silly! Especially the big one- he was nice, and very blue. The Autobots wouldn't YELL at her like the Decepticons would, and they would pet her?? Isn't that awesome! However, the Decepticons had more food and let her break things more often- so she would receive her pets and new cool collar charm from Optimus before returning home. What a nice guy!!

@virtute-praeditum asked:

"... It must be very convenient for you to kiss. I am, I think, a little envious. Not only do you still have an intake, but you do not have nasal ridges to get in the way." Despite the topic of observation, he seems entirely earnest.

∾.❖.∾

Optimus stares at his counterpart with no small amount of bemusement, and hesitation is audible in his voice as he responds, "I suppose that is indeed the case..."

What an odd statement.

Perhaps this is intended as an indirect way of confiding about a sensitive topic. His gaze softens in sympathy.

"... I am sorry that this capability was taken from you." Fate can be cruel at times, in both large ways and small ones. Optimus is... glad that he still possesses an intake, despite kissing being an unlikely activity for him to engage in. The Matrix has housed itself in his spark and molded his frame into the image of a leader, but his face is at least still his own.
