TRANSFORMERS : MTMTE

Rodimus x Cybertronian! Reader

Y/n = Your name

Y/f/c = Your frame colour

Warnings : I'm honestly gonna stop adding these 'warnings' cause trust me even I have absolutely no idea how it's gonna turn out. But I hope I can do well and hopefully, it turns out good. :)

《 Reader's P.O.V.》

Betrayed...Tired..Exhausted...No. All this felt like an understatement.

..I was done..

My autobot badge, that I once wore with such pride and joy had long since lost it's shine, now rundown and broken, covered with my energon. One could only imagine how it still managed to hold on to me. Then again, I wasn't in a good shape either now, was I? No. I had managed to snag a ship and barely escaped.. My ship crashlanded on some random planet. I didn't care which as long as it was away from there.

Pulling myself out of the wreckage of my ship I proceeded to make my way towards an urban inhabited area. I struggled to maintain my balance, stumbling here and there before my body eventually gives up making me fall like an asteroid. I place my hands near me, trying to push myself off the ground.

A futile attempt...

..What's the use anyway..It's not like I have any place to go to...any one to return to..what does it matter..

I lay there on the ground. Bright red warning signs flashing infront of my sight. It was happening...Is this how I was gonna go...

I laid there for God knows how long before I heard the sounds of pedesteps rushing in my direction before coming to a stop near me.

I felt someone placing a servo on my shoulder plate and shaking it gently, as if in fear of causing any further harm to my already damaged body.

"-eed a doctor. You los-"...barely being able to listen, I somehow managed to catch a glimpse of the bot...Orange..with..with glasses.

"-be ok. Just..just hang in ther-"

That was the last thing I could make out before my optics offlined...

===============================

{ years later }

"-so, I think it would be a nice experience for us to go." Rung turned away from his datapads to look up at me with a soft smile gracing his faceplates.

We were both preparing for the journey we were to take part in. Rung informed me yesterday of a mech designated Broadi..no wait - Daud..no,no..YEAH! Rung informed me yesterday of a mech by the designation Rodimus who had proposed a journey across space in order to find the Knights of Cybertron.

Unsurprisingly, Rung wanted to leave on this journey too. Of course, not because of finding the Knights or anything, but because of his love for space ships and the journeys they bring.

I mean, it was pretty obvious to me as I was placing his models of the ark ships into a box so it would be easier to carry while he was making sure he handled all the data and knowledge of his clients properly before leaving.

"Yeah, you're right. It does seem like it's gonna be fun, so why not." I reply as I place another one of the models into the box.

It was kinda true. I was actually going along because of him.

You see, after the war has just barely ended mostly everyone knows how to fight. Then, there's Rung. Now, I don't mean to sound like I'm berating him but he just...he can't fight..he doesn't even have the build most average mechs have. On top of that, he's kind-hearted and a gentlemech, which is nice but makes it all the more easier for someone to harm him.

People are willing to use others for their own benefit, to achieve their goals, even the ones you know for the longest of time, trust me, I'd know...and that's where I come in. I make sure to keep him out of harm's way to the best of my abilities, he's someone that I care for and respect like a..a..what was the organic term for it...a brother, yup, like a brother. The universe needs more good people like him.

Besides...he did save me all those years back, so God forbid if I let anything happen to him. Of course, he doesn't know that..or maybe he does but just pretends that he doesn't, but let me tell you, aside from physical *ahem violent* confrontations, he can handle himself just fine - the guy's been aboard all the Ark ships, that's gotta mean something right.

===============================

"NEXT!"

Finally. After standing in the long line of passengers waiting to board the Lost Light for what seemed like a thousand cycles. It was finally our turn. Rung and I made our way towards the 'Head of Security' for one final inspection before being allowed aboard the ship. Since I was Rung's assisstant, sort of, I remember this guy, he was Rung's client for a couple of centuries. His name was..Red Alert, I think.

"ONE HUNDRED MILLION! That's an impressive serial code,..Er.." Red Alert looks up at Rung with a suprised expression plastered across his face plates. I clench my dentas together in an attempt to hold my laughter.

After everything and everyone was on board and with our ship Quantum jumping God knows where.

Everyone was called by Rodimus, the ship's captain for a debriefing about the current events. I didn't hear much because I don't know why but there was something about this guy...something familiar...weird because I don't remember seeing him before.

The longer I looked at him, that feeling of familiarity turned into a slight feeling of unknown dread settling itself into my fuel tanks.

The debriefing was done and everyone around me was leaving to handle the task at hand, just as I was going to leave as well, I ended up making eye contact with Rodimus.

That feeling of dread and slight anger mixed with some sadness came back to me as I stood there frozen in my spot. I could tell he felt something too just by the way his optics widened and his jaw hung open. As if something unexpected had happened. As if someone you had once lost to the realm of death had come back...

I saw his mouth move slightly, as if trying to whisper out a name. MY name..?..

"..Y/n." I was brought back from my trance when I felt a servo touch my shoulder. Looking down at the owner of the hand, I was quite relieved to see Rung looking back up at me with concern evident across his faceplates. "What's wrong Y/n?"

"Nothing, nothing at all," I give a small smile to reassure him. I decided not to worry him about something like this, afterall, it could just be a side effect from that faulty quantum leap.

《 Rodimus' P.O.V. 》

There had a been a breach in the hull caused by the sudden quantum leap. We had 40 crew mates drifting across space that we had to save. We NEEDED to save. No way am I gonna leave MY crew behind.....Not this time.

After giving everyone a brief idea of what had happened and what needed to be done. I was preparing to leave for the mission - gathering back the 40 lost crew members, when my optics landed on a familiar Y/f/c bot. Is that...No. It can't be. Nope. Not real. She/he isn't real...is she/he?

She/he turned her/his helm in my direction and our optics met....it was her/him...But how..I..I thought she/he had...I thought she/he had died when our team was attacked back on Ki-Aleta...

But she/he was here, right here, on my ship, right in front of me...

I wanted to call out to her/him, but before I could I noticed a slightly smaller mech with an orange frame and slim built approach her/him. Their interactions reminded me of how we used to be like this back in the day. She/he was always there to lighten up the entire team even at the darkest times, no matter how tough or impossible a mission would seem, she/he never gave up. She/he always had our backs..My back. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel something more for her/him. I thought I had lost her/him back on Ki-Aleta. She's/he's here..I need to talk to her/him..

As I look back to see her/him and the orange mech making their way back to their quarters, I push back my thoughts of her/him and attempt to focus on current mission.

===============================

{ A time skip to when the Lost Lighters found a sparkeater aboard the ship, brought to you by Rung's adorable noodle arms }

===============================

《 Reader's P.O.V. 》

As I was sitting on the edge of the bridge in the Oil reservoir I couldn't help but let my thoughts run back to that Rodimus guy and this dreadful feeling of familiarity. He did remind me of someone though... Someone I'd rather forget about. His optics, I had a feeling like I'd seen them before, but I hadn't even met this guy...right?..

Though I was getting kinda suspicious of him being someone from my past. The similarity between the names. The way he had addressed the crew, the way he spoke, even his colour scheme was similar...so similar to an old friend..one that I was close to, one that I loved, one that I trusted....all just to see him leave me behind admist the enemy and the dead bodies of our team mates.

I had hoped that he would return, he might have just gone to get help. How silly...

I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard the sound of emergency sirens going off. As I made my way out of the ship's oil reservoir, a voice on the hallway's comm informed everyone of a little inconvenience that had occured and advised everyone to find a room and lock themselves in for a short while...for safety reasons...

Just turning around the corner and witnessing the dead body of a crew member I sadly did not remember the name of, was enough to convince me that this was more than just a 'little inconvenience'. Approaching the dead body I did what any rational bot would do,

I poked it.

I flipped the dead body over and instantly wished I hadn't. This guy wasn't just plain old dead, he was completely sliced up. His brain module had been torn out, his chasis was ripped apart...But what horrified me the most was his damaged spark chamber. It was as if..as if something had clawed it's way through.

I nearly jumped when I heard the sound of the elevator door opening in the distance, followed by the sounds of rushing pedesteps. Leaning from behind the corner I saw Rung running down the hall with a blue bot, Skids as I remember, seconds later a Sparkeater running after them.

Wait..

A SPARKEATER?!

I moved out into the hallway and saw an elevator with the door ripped open. Inside there was a yellow and blue bot with a briefcase strapped to his arm looking back up at me from his place near the far back corner of the elevator, obviously terrified. Suddenly it hit me, there was a sparkeater on the loose...right now after Rung...

I turned around and tore down the hallway to where I saw them going. The Engine room, that's where I found them.

My eyes landed on the Sparkeater as it was rushing towards..towards..RUNG who was being held in place by Rodimus?!

Infuriated was an understatement. I was beyond that. HOW DARE HE?!

"NOOOO!!" I dashed towards them but before I could reach I felt someone stop me and hold me back in place as I continued to kick and move out of there grasp.

I had to do something. I wasn't gonna let anything happen to Rung. I couldn't.

Not only had he saved me, he was my closest friend. I couldn't just sit back and watch him die, I couldn't just not do anything. I couldn't LEAVE MY FRIEND.

Then I saw it, admist it all, the resemblance, the similarity. It was him..It was him all along...Hot Rod...and he was still ready to give up someone else to save himself.

I glared at Rodimus as he held Rung in place despite hearing him protest. HOW CAN HE DO THAT TO A CREW MATE?!

I kicked myself free from my captor but ended up getting hit behind the helm by someone. The last thing I saw before blacking out was Rung being shoved to the side.

===============================

When my optics onlined I came to realize that I was laying on a metal berth probably in the medical bay.

Slowly getting up I placed a servo behind my helm where I was hit.

"You're up early."

I snapped my helm towards the source of the sound, clearly not expecting anyone to be there before.

When my optics landed on the all-too-familiar flame design. "You..." I glared at him.I clenched my servos and through gritted dentae I tried to control my anger. "Where is he .?.."

"..I'm righ-"

"Not YOU. Where is RUNG!?" The scowl on my face probably showed him that I was not in the mood to joke around.

*sigh* "He's fine. He's in his

habsuite."

I nodded my helm slightly in acknowledgement.

He managed a small smile, "Your

new friend was quite stubborn.

He refused to leave and wanted

to stay in case you woke up.

Ratchet sent him to his habsuite."

My 'new friend'.?...

"Yup, he's like that. Doesn't like leaving his friends behind." I remarked, putting a subtle emphasis on 'leaving' and 'friends'.

His smile faltered as he turned his gaze away from me before he stared at me again, this time there was a sad look in his optics which almost made me soften before I remembered all he had done both to me as Hot Rod and to Rung as Rodimus and I hardened my glare further.

"I..I'm sorry Y/n. I kno-"

"What for? Letting others die? Prioritizing a stupid oracle over the lives of our friends? Abandoning us just to save yourself? Leaving me behind in Ki-Aleta between the enemy fires and the dead bodies of our fallen team mates?" Speaking those words it came back to me, all the pain, the hopelessness, the anger, the sadness..the betrayal...

"For all of them Y/n. I'm sorry.

I regret leaving you like that

but I had to do it."

I let out a dry chuckle at that,"Of course you had to."

"I was under strict orders Y/n.

Orders the rest of you didn't

know about."

"So?.. I thought we were a team. Do you realize if only you had informed us of these 'strict orders' before, we would have gone there better prepared. GIZMO AND DOWNLOAD WOULD STILL BE ALIVE!" I felt my voice waver at the mention of our long dead team mates.

"Y/n-"

"SAVE IT HOT ROD! Even when you had a chance, you chose to save yourself. When you left us..left ME behind, Rod, I was in denial. I still believed like a fool that you would come back. You'd be there. You wouldn't just abandon us like that. I kept hoping that you'll be back.....but I could only keep hoping so much. One day I realizd you weren't coming back. That was the day I realized we were all just acceptable losses to you, just collateral damage.."

I placed a servo across my optics to hide the Lubricants threatening to leave them, "..And to think I loved you..Trusted you with my life.."

"Y/n..Look, I know what I did was

wrong, but like I said, I was under

the strictest of orders.." He paused,

probably to see if I would interrupt

him or not, before speaking again, "I should've told all of you. I thought if I did then it would complicate the mission too much. But now, seeing how things turned out for all of us, it would have been better if I had."

"Rod..sto-"

"I went back."

I removed the servo covering my optics and looked at him. Instead of anger, there was slight shock mixed with sadness in them as I processed what he just said.."Huh..?.."

"I went back for you. All of you. I couldn't find anyone except Dealer. I thought you had died Y/n and it was my fault. I spent so many sleepless nights wondering all the different ways I could have saved you, all the different 'what ifs'. I was frustrated and angry at myself for letting you suffer that fate."

He reached his servo out for mine, holding it gently, softly as if I would break.

"I know..It's not much use saying sorry now. Nothing I say can ever excuse my actions, but please Y/n. Give me a chance. A chance to make up for all of it. I finally found you after so many eons, after I thought I lost you forever. Even though I know you hate me, just give me one chance to rebuild our trust and all that we had. Just one more chance to make things right. Hmm?"

"Rod.." I looked up at him. I saw the sincerity in his optics. No matter how much I tried, even after all that happened, I still couldn't hate him, my anger was slowly fading, giving way to sadness. The sight of our servos clasped together, drowned me in nostalgia.

"..I could never hate you..*sigh* It may take a while for us to go back to the way we used to be. Rod..I may be able to forgive with time but..but it's gonna be hard to forget.." He gave my servo a small reassuring squeeze. "But I'm willing to take a chance and start over."

I looked at him and saw relief mixed with happiness in his optics.

"I'll never abandon you..never again."

A small but genuine smile spread across my faceplates as I felt my spark warm up. The feelings for him, I had once buried within me started to resurface, slow yet steady.

TRANSFORMERS : CAR ROBOTS / RiD 2000

Ultra Magnus x human! female! reader oneshot (yep I decided to turn it into a oneshot)

Please all credits to Transformers belong to Hasbro and Idw and whichever company was responsible for this series.

I do not own Transformers (as much as I wish I did, I don't...I'm not that rich XD sooooo, yeaaaa)

Y/n = Your name

L/n = Last name

---kinda fluff that might lead to slighttttt angst---

《○•••••••••••••••••••○》

{ 3rd person's P.O.V. }

Ultra Magnus shook his head with slight disapproval.

You were reckless, extremely reckless. Climbing the tallest trees without giving any second thought as to how you'd be able to climb back down, skateboarding along the highway admist speeding cars and most of all, being at the wrong place at the wrong time. The latter, being the reason how you two met in the first place.

●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●

The day started out like normal, just how any other day would. It felt like a good enough day to go bike riding outside near the forest area, so that's what you did.

Ultra Magnus was doing what he usually did, watching the Autobot brothers fight against the Predacons. Since it was just the Predacons he didn't feel the need to interfere, besides the brothers were handling them quite well. The ruckus they were creating though succeeded in gaining your attention as you happened to be passing nearby that place.

Pulling the brakes on your bike you looked around trying to locate the source of all the chaos before you confirmed it's origin. Any other person would have thought of booking it outta there, but then again you weren't just 'any other person', you were Y/n L/n. With a determined look in your eyes you tightened your hold on the bike's handles and started making your way towards all the chaos.

Big mistake. Those were the only words running through your mind as you stayed there, frozen on the spot and staring up at the ginORMOUS ROBOTS FIGHTING EACH OTHER.

Thankfully, due to your small size as a human, they didn't notice you standing there admist their fight. Not so thankfully though, that became a problem the moment the Autobot brothers moved out of the way to avoid getting hit by their lasers, lasers that came charging towards your direction.

The Autobot brothers chased after the Predacons as you tried to move out of the lasers' path, emphasis on 'tried to'. You had ended up stumbling due to the sudden movement and watched as the lasers got closer, before covering your head with your arms and screaming bloody murder.

Ultra Magnus, on the other hand saw this as his optics widened. 'What in the world is a human doing over there?!', he quickly brushed aside that thought and rushed towards you, speeding up to make it to you.

As he reached you, no time was wasted by him in grabbing you in his servos and bringing you to close to keep you safe while he flew away from the blast radius of the lasers.

Upon reaching a safe distance he placed you down on the forest ground, as he tried to examine you over for any injury before his optics met your eyes in a staring contest. He thought you were scared of him, how he towered over you. But boi was he wrong.

When he had asked you for any injuries instead of replying you just stared up at him in awe.

Since you had gotten lost in the forest and had no idea where you were by now, he had agreed (albeit reluctantly) to take you back to the city. Once inside the cab of his alt-mode, you complimented how comfortable his seats were. He had just picked an alt-mode at random to help him get around this planet, never had he expected anyone to compliment him in any form. It felt...weird...in a good way.

Heh, this human was tolerable.

As you both reached the city, he opened his can door allowing you to step outside. Before he could drive off you stopped and asked him for his name, finding no harm and wanting to get going back to his work he quickly responded to your question.

"Ultra Magnus"

You smiled and nodded. "I'm Y/n L/n. Nice to meet you. Thanks for the lift and for saving me back there"

He revved his engine slightly as a sign of acknowledgement.

"Anyyyyways, I'll get going now. See ya around Mags." You lightly pat the top of his alt-mode's hood and go about your merry way leaving him behind to grumble out "Magnus not Mags" but you were already out of earshot.

Letting out another sigh he drove off to get back to his work of s̶t̶a̶l̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ watching over the others.

A few days later, he bumped into you again, quite literally.

You had heard of this amazing new cafè that had recently opened up, sooooooo you thought what better way to go check it out than to go there skateboarding. Grabbing your trusty skateboard off the shelf, you were enjoying yourself skating along the highway all the while listening to the music blasting through your headphones.

At one point when you tried to cross the road a fast moving vehicle suddenly pulled to a stop infront of you before it hit you. Removing the headphones from your ears you waited for the angry driver of the vehicle to step out and yell at you, only, no one came out. You thought you were off the hook until a sudden 'What were You THINKING?!' came roaring from the vehicle. About to make a run for it you suddenly remembered your new friend as you happily waved at him, completely neglecting how a minute ago you were about to be run over.

"Hiya Mags, how ya' doin?"

"It is ULTRA MAGNUS not MAGS!" Letting out a loud rev of his engine to provide emphasis on his anger at your reckless behaviour, he continued on yelling and nagging at you.

Later on he dropped you off at the cafè along with your skateboard stating he was preventing a road accident from happening due to someone's carelessness.

Weird as it was, he kept on meeting up with you at the strangest of places. When he met you while you were stuck on a tree after trying to save a cat, or when you almost drowned yourself by falling into the water while attempting to take a picture of yourself posing like a seagull on the edge of the local bridge. The list goes on and on.

At first it used to drive Ultra Magnus mad, hell it even annoyed him to some extent. How can someone be so reckless. But as time went on, he got over it after he came to understand that this was just how you were, these things just happened without you intending them to.

Aside from the usual..'incidents'..he found *coughcough* rescued *coughcough* you in.

You were pretty good company. How you sheepishly smiled and finger-gunned at him whenever he caught you in another 'incident'. How you used to have this sense of understanding, of..of empathy whenever he used to tell you of his relation with Optimus and how he wanted for the Matrix of Leadership to be with him instead of his brother. How you looked up to him in awe when he told you stories of his battles. How you laughed after making the silliest of puns, they were terrible of course, but he wouldn't tell you that, he'd rather see your rosy cheeks, you tumbling while clutching your stomach as you kept on laughing. He liked seeing you like that, hell he liked you.

Somewhere between all your reckless activities and calm moments of just relaxing in his alt-mode's cab. He had fallen for you.

He never made any moves cause duh, when you are trying to face off the Decepticons and the Predacons all the while having to watch over your friends, who would be able to.

Also, he figured it best to keep you away from it all. You were already so reckless, so prone to incidents, on top of that if the Predacons or worse the Decepticons caught a hold of you due to your connection with him, who knows what they'll be capable of doing to you. He couldn't let that happen to you.

So he buried his feelings and himself admist his work, defeat Megatron and his henchmen and get a hold of the Matrix from his brother. Besides, you were one of the only good things that happened to him in so long and he'd be damned if he let anything happen to you.

But with the luck he has, good things never stay with him for long, do they.

Never had he expected this to happen. No, he didn't want it to happen that's why he had worked extra hard in his missions, he even went as far as to stop spending too much time with you just he could keep you safe. So how..HOW....

He tried to keep himself together as those thoughts ran through his processor all the while cradling your lifeless body to his chasis.

It wasn't supposed to happen. How did it happen. How did he not know that you tried to follow him, how did he not notice you had been there.

You had been caught by one of the Decepticons to be used as a bait, to be used as a bargaining chip.

How could he let it happen...The tight grip of the Decepticon on you as you writhered in pain, only causing the grip on you to be tightened. He had frozen up on spot seeing you like that.

Magnus didn't see anything else but you, not the decepticon holding you with a gun aimed at him, not even the fellow Autobot who shot the Decepticon causing him to lose his balance and grip on you, allowing you to fall freely.

The only thing that snapped him out of his daze was your scream. He quickly rushed to get to you...Primus he never ran that quick before, but...it wasn't fast enough. He helplessly reached out for you, watching you fall and hearing you scream before it was all reduced to a small thud and crack of bones as the sounds of your screams stopped.

The moment your screams stopped, so did the world around him..and..so did his spark.

He fell to his knees before you as his servos hovered in the air above your unmoving, unresponsive body.

Finally he managed to hold you, and turned your head to face him.

Your eyes...the same eyes that held so much life in them, that always looked up to him in awe, now they were dull and lifeless. Your lips...your beautiful smile that used to warm his spark, your beautiful laughter...all gone and replaced with blood..YOUR blood.

He kept staring at you, hoping, WISHING that any moment now you would burst out laughing and tell him it was just a prank. That you would smile at him and this time look up at him with not just awe, but with the same amount of love that you used to before. The love he had seen but chosen to ignore so he could prevent seeing you like this.

But what does it matter, you still ended up like this. What an idiot he was. What A STUPID, SELFISH IDIOT HE WAS. He only cared about defeating his enemies, he only cared about getting that Matrix of Leadership. Admist all this...he lost you...How he would gladly give up anything, anything at all, be it the Matrix, be it himself, ANYTHING. Just so he could tell you how sorry he was for pushing you away. Just so he could tell you.."I..love y-you."....

○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○

He sighs as he gets hit with another feeling of nostalgia, before placing the wildflowers he had found on his way here, near your grave.

"It's over....We defeated Megatron." He paused as if waiting for you to respond.

"I didn't take the Matrix though...I don't think I even want it anymore, besides, Optimus deserves it anyway..."

"..We're leaving for Cybertron tomorrow...so I just thought..I just wanted to see you..one more time before I left...and..and...and wanted to apologize to you for pushing ypu away like that,...for not being able to protect you and for not being able to tell you how I felt.."

"..I'll always remember you and...I'll love you.. always..."

He kept staring at your grave as if trying to imprint a picture of it all in his memory banks before he finally transformers back into his alt-mode and makes his way back....

__________________________________________________________________________________
