Notice : Orion was able to persuade Dee to visit the main archives in the dead of night, but they did not expect that Sentinel himself, with his eternal shadow — Bodyguard Bee 127, would affect it there

Bro is afraid of B's ​​very existence

JUST READ THIS, I'M DYING

did i manage to get sidetracked and write something COMPLETELY unrelated to all of my projects?

yes of course. you can blame this post plus @whalemleck and @yuukirita for injecting this into my bloodstream (i'm banning myself from scrolling Tumblr while writing)

Piece below the cut <3

The basics of gun safety are easy. Simple. Never look down the barrel, never point it at something you’re not planning on killing, keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to shoot.

Thus, it is reasonable to say that it’s a liability to have a loaded weapon with a hair-trigger. This is the argument Sentinel receives over and over whenever his bodyguard is mentioned.

(Though, to be fair, B was ‘the weapon’ or ‘the project’ for a long, long while. Airachnid was the one to suggest calling him a bodyguard— it’s softer than ‘weapon’, with the connotation of protection and defence rather than something meant for war.

It’s a good thing Sentinel is adept at lying, because B-127 is absolutely meant for war.)

He stands in his throne room, overlooking the city. It’s a quiet night, the sounds of flying muted through the thick glass.

He has a problem. A rather large one, at that. Someone has been getting into the Archives, bolder and bolder than before. Normally he’d leave it to his guards, but it kept happening. Incompetent morons. Even worse, they’d managed to breach the upper levels, meaning the highly classified information Airachnid had been so long suppressing was in danger of being leaked.

Despite how Sentinel’s more impulsive side languished in the boredom of Iacon now, he knew better than to go in guns blazing as a Prime. This is a delicate situation. It needs to be solved quietly, without a fuss. 

In the dead of night, he whistles a short tune.

If Sentinel wasn’t listening, if he hadn’t trained the mech behind him up, he wouldn’t have been able to sense the additional presence in the room with him. He must have dropped from wherever he hid, Sentinel’s advanced scanners unable to ping him.

“Sir?”

He turns to address his mech. The moon glints off yellow armour, reflecting Sentinel’s face back at him from B’s visor. “I have a pest problem that needs eliminating,” he responds, smooth as ever.

B’s helm tilts. “Of course.”

“Someone’s been breaking into the Archives. I need you to find them and dispose of them, quietly.” Sentinel stresses the last part— sending the people into a panic wouldn’t do. B hasn’t messed that up since his early days of training, though he still emphasises it.

“Of course,” B says, looking past him and out the window, surely to where the looming shadow of the Archives lies. “Shall I begin now?”

“The sooner, the better. This will be no problem for you, I presume?”

“Of course. Newbuild’s play.” B gives him a sharp nod before lowering himself to the ground and jumping back up onto what he assumes to be a ceiling beam. No matter how many times Sentinel watched, he still catches himself in mild awe at how easily B can do that.

(No he hasn’t tried to, shut up.)

Sentinel lets out a pleased hum. One less thing to worry about, then. The job’s as good as done.

How long does B-127 know Orion and D-16 before they go to the surface? Also does Cliffjumper replace B in the original plot (like was he in sub level 50 and help Orion and D go to the surface)?

Hi!

They know each other well enough to have a good, warm relationship. And no, Cliff won't be replacing B, because he has a different story and B just wouldn't let his brother rot in the middle of nowhere

I see this bee as definitely the type to seemingly NEVER recharge.

HEAR ME OUT PLEASE

Miners just see him supervising their sector during working and recharge hours,and when he's with Sentinel at his place he's either guarding him, learning from arachnid,or patrolling the halls.

Nobody knows when he recharges,how long he does,or if he recharges at all.

And during the war he would avoid recharge like the plague,he's a bodyguard: what will happen to prime if he just takes the time to relax?to Cliff? Elita? Besides, there's barely anyplace safe enough to recharge for more than a few minutes.

Idk,I feel like just how he feels about talking bee would consider other normal things-like recharge, refueling regularly,etc.- to be a waste of time.

Plus,it be wonderfully angsty if when he breaks from the lack of rest,he just passes out in the middle of a war meeting(filled with bots who know,respect,and care about him deeply)

DAMN YOU MADE ME JUMP FOR JOY, MNR REALLY LIKE THIS OPTION

YOU MAKE ME SCREAM WE NEED MORE OF THIS AU

Cliff: Only a boring bot would like history.

Sentinel: Bee likes history

Cliff: Bee is different!

Hi, I'm the anonymous who is writing the fanfic of B-127/Bumblebee getting Cassettes during the war after losing his voice.

Sorry if I bother a lot but for some reason my head thinks it's good to ask you for advice and to know your opinion.

I should (later, much later) include the Beewave couple (Soundwave and Bumblebee) or better not? I'd love to include the couple in my stories since there isn't much of them and when there is it's mostly racy content, which by the way, yuck!

I would probably write very little about them since I want to develop Bumblebee's relationship with his Cassettes, but I don't know what do you recommend?

By the way, some time ago I sent you another question asking for your opinion about a part I wrote for the story..... Ignore it completely and pretend it never existed since I ended up changing it to something I liked even more and in my opinion was better.

...

I just realized this might be too long, I'm so sorry!

Hi!!

I think it's only your choice, But I'd be happy if you decided to add soundbee/beewave to the fanfiction!

Yap, I see your question, And I apologize for not responding. I have many requests in my inbox😅 glad you were able to change and make the text so that you like it!

The work was written admirably, Keep up the good work!

About body guard bee, how does Megatron view Bee after the events of tf1? You mentioned how he originally reacted harshly to the fact Bee knew the truth and then later understood that Bee really didn't have a choice. And how do the decepticons view Bee?

Megatron clearly respects Bee, though he still feels anger over his "collaboration" with Sentinel. I'm pretty sure that when Bee and Elita tried to stop him from publicly executing Sentinel, Megatron offered to join him in building the future of Cybertron, which Bee wisely declined. Even despite this, after the events he still feels disappointed because of the loss and rejection

the Decepticons in turn would be very disappointed by the refusal, since they need such powerful bots as B, especially since he was created for war. (I like the idea that they were also worried that such a young Bot was forced to go through a series of traumatic events too early in order for him to even try to become normal for society)

In this AU Bee cannot talk about government secrets because of the chip, but can he write about them? Or use very subtle hints? If Optimus is the current prime, doesn't it mean that now he has the authority to know these secrets?

he can only hint, but not write or speak

and yes, that's true! Optimus will now have to learn more terrible secrets, although, of course, not all of them
