MMmm moar teasers, yessssss? /BW Megatron
In all honesty, Prowl never put much thought into what Prime's and Starscream's sparkling could possibly look like. In reality, probably nobody, not even the proud parents ever thought about it.
The excitement that filled the Ark when the offspring of their Prime announced its come into the world when the egg shell began to crack a little several days ago, kept everyone from even beginning to imagine what possibly their sparkling could look like.
The hatching had been slow. The sparkling cracked the shell here and there, little cracks followed by periods of no activity at all. It took them a whole week to get to this point, where the sparkling was laying on the remnants of his shell, staring with wide red optics at the wonderful world outside his prison.
The sparkling was... interesting, to say the least. Prowl admitted he was cute, yeah, but not in the same way Bumper was. For starters, the little one was like a mismatch of Optimus Prime's and Starscream's parts. The sparkling had Prime's body shape, down to the little face mask covering a dark blue face, antennas and little protrusions on his shoulders that immitated his creator's smokestacks, though they weren't quite like that yet.
However, the sparklings legs were, in Ratchet's very cheerful words, 'Seeker made'. Turbine heels decorated the sparkling's feet, and little jet wings protruded from his back, and they were incredibly flexible, too, as the sparklig could flap them a little.
Prowl could only wonder what that sparkling's alternate mode could ever be. A semi with jet wings and thrusters was a bizarre sight, even as he imagined it. Then, there was the little issue of picking a designation for the sparkling.
Sideswipe had been quick to nickname him 'Optimini', and much to Prowl's chagrin and mild horror, Optimus Prime and Starscream choose to keep the name for the time being, as apparently the former Decepticon Air Commander and the magnanimous Prime were completely incapable of picking a fitting designation for their little bundle of joy.
Originally they wanted to call him Magnus in honor to Ultra Magnus, as the sparkling resembled the mech when his outter armor was removed. That kind of fell flat when they were reminded Ultra Magnus probably wouldn't find the honor too fitting, as the mech had enough standing Grimlock calling him 'Little Prime'. So, for the time being, the sparkling was referred by everyone as Optimini.
