Cyclonus’ time of death: Somewhere around naptime.
cyc/whirl fusion will get bigger and scarier every time i draw him tbh
I basically have an Actual Story Idea bout Whirl/Cyclonus/Tailgate, Cyclonus being Weird bc of Magical Vector Sigma Bullshit, and having babbies. this story idea involves involves:
-carrier Cyclonus because I love!!!!!!!!! -implying that Whirl and Cyclonus absolutely had a hate-hookup at one point, and that just being totally normal (because c’mon, after four million years of war and getting on each other’s nerves I’d bet at least half of all Cybertronian hookups are based on rivalries/etc.) -Whirl having a tough time in the beginning because one of the sparklings has practically an exact copy of his face -his old face. -it’s a little hard for him to adjust to -but once he gets used to the idea he is the MOST SUPPORTIVE PARENT!!! -Tailgate also being an Extremely Supportive Parent and bonding with Whirl over that -Cyclonus being an Extremely Anxious Parent and having to be calmed down by Whirl and Tailgate when he gets too high strung -Tailgate making absolutely sure that these kids get to have a proper childhood that’s longer than 2 weeks -flying lessons with the flightframe bebs!!! -racing through the halls of the Lost Light with the groundframe bebs!!! -all three of them growing closer to each other through making a family!!!!!!!!! -BEBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I keep thinking about Whirl and babies and getting emotional
mmmmmMMMMMM YES
- Everyone being surprised that Whirl is so great with little bitlets (including Whirl himself).
- Whirl fighting with Cyclonus over who gets to be the carrier (biggest and toughest usually makes for better carriers) until Tailgate finally chooses who.
- Carrier!Cyclonus being doted on by Whirl, who just can’t help himself to hover around the big purple jerk.
or
- Carrier!Whirl having second thoughts about his competence as a parent, only to be reassured and loved on by the little blueberry minbot and even the big angry grape himself.
or
- Carrier!Tailgate having the hallway parting like the Red Sea for him, mostly out of manners and respect but also because Whirl made it very clear from the get-go that anyone who so much as looks at Tailgate funny will be answering to him and the purple people eater.
- The little bitlet riding in Whirl’s cockpit space
- Horrendous baby name ideas on Whirl’s part (one of his name choices gets the win though).
- What the bitlet chooses to do with their life is their choice, and Whirl backs them up every step of the way.
- “LISTEN, FUCKAZOID, MY KID COULD KICK YOUR ASS FOR SPORT!”
did you read my mind when I was in class this morning???? because I was COMPLETELY consumed by thoughts of Whirl/Cyclonus/Tailgate sparkling shenanigans and these are all perfect
