Four bunnies
It's been a long, long while since I've posted anything on the farm, but here: four littles TFA bunnies ready for adoption!
1. TFA; Prowl discovers a secret from his old Master Yoketron. Apparently, the old ninja had a sparkling some times before his death, but he was unable to keep him, as his duties and the war were taking all his time and he couldn’t properly take care of him. The sparkling was never recovered from the care of his nurse or the orphanage he was likely placed into, which Prowl finds astounding.
Deciding that, as a student of Yoketron, he has a responsibility toward his Master’s legitimate heir, he vows to find the child and trains him or her in the ways of the Cyber-Ninja, on which Jazz promises to second him. Being stranded on Earth is a problem, however. That’s it, until he discovers that Yoketron’s sparkling is in fact… Bumblebee.
“I can’t believe he… Yoketron… We must be mistaken… Or the records are wrong. They can’t be related!”
“Oh, they certainly aren’t mistaken, but I’m starting to wonder about Yoketron… Make you wonder exactly who the other creator was and how much Bumblebee take after him, hum?”
2. TFA; Instead of Optimus being the only one blamed after the incident which caused the loss of Elita One, Sentinel also gets his share of troubles. But instead of being expulsed form the Academy, Ultra Magnus just sentences him to serve a few cycles on some remote colony with a crew of repairs/security ‘bots, not unlike his old ‘friend’ Optimus. But being Sentinel, he managed to pit them against him. And now, the little band is ready to make him suffer…
(There are some characters from G1 that could be used… Sunstreaker/Sideswipe come to mind, of course, but also Blaster, Gears,… I don’t think they appeared in the extended universe, or did they?)
“This mech… is a total jerk.”
“Yes, but he’s the boss.”
“Temporary. Very temporary even if I have anything to say about that…”
“… Don’t kill him, okay. Drive him insane as much as you want, but no killing allowed.”
“Tss… why are you always spoiling my fun?”
3. TFA; We often see fics where it’s Optimus who was abandoned on Archa Seven instead of Elita. What if, for once, it was Sentinel?
4. TFA; Captain Fanzone hated machines. He still does. However, saying it aloud might mean he hates himself now, because the dear captain was changed into a mech (or fused with his car, making him a grumpy ‘clone’ of Bumblebee) through a scientist crazy experiments/Key related incident/Allspark odd sense of humor, take your pick. And… he kept his bad luck with machines in general. Meaning that:
A) Whatever he uses still tend to go on the fritz, except low-tech tools
B) His own body isn’t immune to his peculiar brand of luck, leading to some… unsavory incidents
C) Ratchet, as the medic of the group, has to look after him and IS Not Happy. Arcee, on the other end, as a teacher who still isn’t up to part with Cybertron’s actual technology, is ready to meet the challenge head on.
