Transformers (TFA) Metal to Scales

Unacquainted Guests

           

'A long night' didn't even begin to cover it! Bumblebee thought sharing a room with a rowdy, giant, green space engineer bot was insufferable, try sharing a room with four edgy cons, each having one million complaints about every little detail. Bumblebee would rather live with scraplets.

"Megatron!" Lugnut shouted. "This green oaf is speaking utter lies of your seer greatness, my liege! Shall I destroy him for you, Lord Megatron?"

"I said no such thing!" Bulkhead gasped. "I just asked why he's so crazy over Megatron is all! It's getting creepy!" The two huge dragons were arguing in the center of the base, annoying the scrap out of Bumblebee who was lying by a wall by himself.

"Creepy is hardly what I would describe my undying devotion to Lord Megatron!"

"See! That right there was creepy!"

"Loyalty is not creepy, dumb Autobot!"

"No, but it sure is overrated." Starscream surmised. Bumblebee had to hold in a snicker at the looks of anger that were sent in Starscream's direction. The slender decepticon was sprawled out on the ground beside Megatron, leaning against the larger dragon nonchalantly while swishing his tail without a care in the world, as if the blatant statement of treason was not even said. Bumblebee just noticed the fait blue glow of an Allspark fragment lodged in the seeker's forehead, like a gemstone decoration on his starved looking, yet handsome face. Bumblebee couldn't believe he just called Starscream handsome, but the seeker's features were pretty much flawless, from his skinny purple finned limbs, to the shining smirk on his lips.

Megatron sent Starscream a disapproving glance and shifted a few inches away from the winged form. Starscream's lean slipped and he recovered to send Megatron a glare. Bumblebee had to hide his amusement. Well he had to admit, some were more humorous than others.

"Prime! Get over here and make Prowl hold still!" Ratchet bellowed from across the room. The white and orange dragon was trying to fix a deep gash on Prowl's arm, but it proved to be more difficult to fix in these new bodies. Ratchet had to patch it up with thread instead of wires and it looked rather painful. Bumblebee didn't blame Prowl for wincing a bit.

The small, black and gold dragon was shifting under Ratchet's touch. "Watch where your putting that thing." He murmured.

Prowl's eyes were covered by neon blue shades, so it was hard to see his full expression, but by the way his teeth were clenched, it seemed to hurt quite a bit. Ratchet scowled.

"Well if you'd quit moving around, I might refrain from hitting something sensitive, ninja-bot...er...dragon?" Ratchet stuttered. "What even are these creatures anyway?" He gestured to his own body.

Bumblebee noticed that Ratchet had duller claws than the rest of the dragons, with red and white coloration and large brows that made him look angry all the time. Prowl on the other hand, was much thinner and had extremely sharp talons. He had a black color scheme with gold spirals along his back and limbs. Neither had wings though.

Sari spoke up responding to Ratchet's question. Bumblebee couldn't help but notice that she was closer to Megatron's spot than he would have liked. "I think that device, square thing that fell in the middle of the fight somehow turned you guys into...well this."

Optimus, who had one talon on Prowl's arm in a gentle gesture looked at Megatron. "You were in the middle of explaining to me what that thing was anyway."

Bumblebee was beginning to realize all the little details of their new forms now that they weren't pressured by battle. Optimus actually had a very handsome face, with crystal blue eyes and a blue and red scale pattern. He was thinner and smaller than Megatron, Lugnut, and Bulkhead, but larger than all the rest. He moved with great grace and precision that Bumblebee was entranced by his leader's every movement. He also noticed the wings still lying flattened on Optimus' back.
