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
About your Bodyguard B127 AU:
How would the whole rescue scene go when the train hits the tower? Or rather— how would Sentinel react to B127 helping D and Orion?
Much like the original, but unlike it, Sentinel simply made a few sarcastic comments to Dee and turned all his attention to Bee, accusing he of betrayal
Also, when Sentinel tries to cut Megatronus' mark on D's chest, B intervenes and takes the hit (which is why he has a scar on his armor)
Ty question!
Bee has other innate modifications besides the blades, he is still a warframe.
[eng/rus version]
Airachnid taught Bee to climb walls like a spider and he enjoys it
sleep deprived!anon here has returned!
And an alternate scenario to bee passing out if he was less cautious about keeping the others from knowing about his exhaustion
-------------------------------
Bee: * holding a can of synthetic energon and mystery pills in his hand*
Ratchet and the other medics: bee? What are you doing with that? *Squints their optics in suspicion*
Bee:*looking him dead in the optics through his visor* *drops the mystery pills into the can* *opens his mask and chugs the can like it's the end of the world*
Ratchet: NO-!
Bee: *dives head first into a vent*
Ratchet: B-127 GET BACK HERE !! *Yells through hq's speakers* I HAVE A CODE PURPLE HE'S HEADING DOWN TWO FLOORS-
------
Then starts the very long chase to tackle bee down and force him into recharge. It's a code purple which means along with all the bots who know what that code means,EVERY medic that isn't occupied is after him too.
But of course it's B-127 they're hunting so it takes an ungodly amount of time to even locate him.
It's only when Cliffjumper,Optimus,and Elita arrive are they able to convince bee to come out and rest. (Along with a long overdue medical examination)
YOU'RE SO REAL FOR THIS
Bee wouldn't like the medics themselves because all the experiences he has had are negative. Despite this, he likes Ratchet, so he lets the medic find his tracks
they have a complicated relationship
Sometimes Sentinel breaks down, at such moments B takes the situation into his own hands and tries to return him to normal
Would it be too much to ask for an explanation of how time works on Cybertron?
Something like:
Earth seconds= Cybertronian seconds.
Terrestrial minutes = Cybertronian minutes.
And so on.
It's for a fanfic where B-127 finds a Cassettes (original character) and adopts him, mainly because I want to give him children without the need to give him a partner (yet).
I don't actually know how to define Cybertronian time myself. I'm confused, like, is a solar cycle — 1 Earth day? Or is it an earth month? I'm still trying to figure it out, haha.
Anyway, it'll be interesting to read a fanfic with this kind of plot, so if it does come out, let me know! Thanks!
Omg!!! I love this bodyguard au!!!
I need to know!! How did Bee become his bodyguard and what was their relationship like!!?? Especially with arachnids how did they treat bee!!
Also love the art!!!! It's amazing 👏
Hello! Thanks for the question! You can read about how he became a bodyguard here! His relationship with Arachnid is very strange. Arachne cares for Bee in her own way, but has never tried to get close. I think she sees him as a young bot, a weapon that needs to be taken care of (although she kind of sees him as her child, but that's debatable)
Bee visits Arachnid in prison from time to time because she was the one who truly cared for him and tried to protect from Prime
Merry Christmas!
