HW: IS THIS WHAT I AM DESTINED FOR?!
OP: HEATWAVE NO!!!
This scene popped into my head about a reality where Heatwave slowly gets irritated by Optimus keeping secrets for „his safety“. And that he’s done with getting treated like a newborn. Obviously Optimus has valid reasons to keep him away from danger.
However at some point the Quintessons arrived on earth, launching a full scale attack. And ofc after they attacked Griffin Rock and hurt Heatwave's family, he boils over and takes matters into his own servos.
Guess what happens to this Heatwave, spoiler– it’s a previous sketch I posted)))))
