Tfp!human!au:

imagine how tfp knock out and cliffjumper could've met in the 1st episode

knock out: - your frame is painted in my signature color!

cliffjumper: - you don’t own the color red. red existed before you.

knock out: - not aboard nemesis. here, i invented red. i am red.

no one:

vehicons: - if we combine our powers, we can be even more useless than we are individually

arcee: - i have two pieces of news.

optimus: - in such a case, please, start with a good one.

arcee: - who told you that there was a good one?

tfp!human!au:

arcee: *stretches*

arcee: - ugh, my whole body hurts..

smokescreen: - oh, is it because of dealing with all that paperwork? or because of some intense workout?

arcee: - it's because of my being in my late 20s.

ultra magnus: *drinks his third coffee in a morning and prepares for the roll call after returning from the night duty*

smokescreen: — uh.. sir, are you sure you're alr-

ultra magnus: *cleares his throat*

ultra magnus: — those who are absent, raise your hands!

☕ probably the weirdest associations ever but anyway tfp autobots as things you add in your tea:

🫙 wheeljack - cinnamon

🥛 smokescreen - milk

🥄 bulkhead - sugar

🌿 arcee - herbs

🍯 bumblebee - honey

🍋 ratchet - citrus

🫐 optimus - berries

🧊 ultra magnus - ice

🫗 cliffjumper - sugar syrup

smokescreen: - so.. what's the fear of spiders called again?

arcee: - weakness.

ratchet: - ..arachnophobia.

bulkhead: - common sense!

wheeljack: - it's not about if anyone permits me to do that

wheeljack: - it's only about if anyone can prevent me from doing that

knock out, mad at himself, entering the medbay: - i'm just an incredible idiot!

shockwave: - awareness of the problem and an objective evaluation of its scale are 50% of its solution.

ratchet: - has anyone seen bumblebee and smokescreen?

bulkhead: - oh i'm sure they're fine. i left them with wheeljack!

ratchet: - no offense, bulkh, but those two sentences don't go together.
