Arcee, Knockout and Ratchet's reaction to their human friend who always hides one arm until they were forced to reveal an insectoid claw that is spontaneously shifting in form when they almost got nabbed, and reveals that they were once a subject of genetic experimenta from a young age?
A/N: This has only been sitting in my askbox for like three months lol. Sorry this took forever… and sorry I didn't feel like doing Knockout
~Ratchet~
•Ratchet noticed you always have your left arm in a sort of wrap
•He’s also noticed that your left arm seems to move in unnatural ways sometimes and seems to change in size too
•You ended up in the middle of a fight and had to defend yourself
•Your insect arm is super strong, so you managed to wrench yourself out of a vehicon’s hand without help
•You tried to wrap your arm with the cloth that usually covered it, but it was torn to shreds in your escape, so you couldn’t do that
•When the fight was over, Ratchet came to you and noticed your arm
•At first he thought you’d been hurt, but you assured him that you were fine and that this was just what your arm looked like
•You told Ratchet the whole story of how you’d been experimented on as a kid and how you’d ended up with your arm like that
•Your arm is claw-like, and it can become very sharp depending on if you want it to or not, usually it’s harmless, but if your adrenaline gets going, it becomes very sharp, and you could easily hurt someone with it
•Ratchet would like to take a closer look at it, but you don’t like to show it to others, and you only told him because you felt like he needed to know
•He promises not to tell the trouble trio or anyone who didn’t see it during the fight, and he stops Bee from pestering you about it
•You find some big piece of scrap fabric at the base and Ratchet helps you wrap up your arm
•He would like to know a lot more about the whole thing, but you’re clearly not in the mood to talk, so he doesn’t want to push you
~Arcee~
•Arcee noticed your arm when the fabric you were covering it ripped, when you almost got taken by the cons
•She decided not to bring it up right away, because you seemed like you didn’t want anyone to see it, since you were trying to wrap it up as quickly as possible
•But when you started to show signs that you were hurt, and she noticed blood on the fabric you used to wrap your arm
•Arcee of course in her own very straight forward, maybe a bit too blunt way, asked what was wrong with your arm and why it looked deformed?
•You weren’t really surprised by her bluntness, you were used to it, but it still kind of stung
•Your arm was hurting pretty bad, and you should probably have told someone, but you’d always hated your arm and how it looked, so you didn’t really want to show it to anyone
•Arcee basically took you aside and said something like: “I’m going to take a look at your arm” before starting to take the wrap off
•You didn’t resist, but you flinched a couple of times when it hurt
•Arcee thought your arm looked quite odd, but she was more worried about you being hurt
•You sat there in silence while she awkwardly patched you up
•She didn’t comment on your arm, but you could see the weird look on her face
•Your arm isn’t really usable, unless you want to maim someone, but it’s been like that since you were very young, so you’re used to it
•Arcee isn’t exactly disgusted like a lot of humans are when they see your arm, she’s more weirded out

Noooo
I'm imagining a whole fucking alternate earthspark season that includes:
Oh fuck Unicron is coming
Dark energon (optional) (zombie shenanigans?)
Mysterious bots appearing claiming to be from the future / an alternate timeline— most notably Galvatron and Rodimus. Galvatron and his crew are working to hussle Unicron along, while Rodimus is trying to help prevent him from arriving
When they eventually learn Galvatron = Megatron from the future / another timeline, Megatron angst ensues
Optimus only nearly dies this time, or he dies but comes back
Unicron has one goal: consume earth
Quintus prime powers are definitely needed here
There's an episode about the thirteen Primes in general here
Starscream does die at some point as a self sacrifice thing (he'll be back and his progress won't be wiped, but fuck it'd be such a scene) (Starscream is an outlier truther)
Because that long awaited Starscream redemption arc (it begins before his temporary death, but it does not end with his temporary death)
Our Megatron actually does not turn into Galvatron, proving he's actively chosen a different path than his continuity predecessors have
left over Quintesson technology is involved at some point
There's two arcees (optional)
Breakbee (optional)
Megoplita (optional)
I'm torn on whether it's automatically presented as then being from an alternative timeline from a timeline where Megatron never defected, or it being presented as then being from the future up until a pivotal moment where the future is changed.
I want to see more of Megatron actively choosing to be a better person, rather than just saying "oh he's changed now" (NOT OPTIONAL, I NEED TO SEE THIS IN CANON TOO)
Nemesis prime plot (optional)
Rodimus accidentally calling Optimus "dad" in a serious conversation (optional)
I'm incredibly torn on what's to happen with Cybertron, but I 100% vote the Allspark is recovered at some point in time and, maybe, just maybe, they regain access to Cybertron (optional)
Or... Cybertron was destroyed while they were gone by Unicron, and they recover the Allspark through different means (optional)
I just need "Megatron meets Galvatron, who claims to be his future self & 'better' self" angst in Earthspark— and I need Megatron to argue that no, HE is his better self, not in matter of firepower or conquest or physical strength or anything, but because he's choosing to be kinder. Not just slapping a Good Guy™️ sticker on and saying he's one of the Good Guys™️ now, but choosing again and again to be good. I need for him to mean it.
