Bolt belongs to Ice-Ninja along with Gadget XD
Ratchet and Ironhide were not the only mechs who had children within the Autobot ranks.
Optimus in-fact had a little son of his own!
5 years before the creations of Gadget and Ricochet, the Prime had discovered an abandoned sparkling, scared and starved amongst a pile of scrap. On the brink of death in fact. But with some much-needed TLC from Ratchet the little mech survived, and thrived. And Optimus adopted him as his own, giving him the appropriate name "Bolt."
Bolt was an energetic young thing, red primarily in colour with black as his secondary. He loved to spend time with his adoptive father, and to play with little Gadg' and 'Che.
It was perfect really.
Optimus, Ratchet and Ironhide were the dad squad.
And Bolt, Gadget and Ricochet were the mini-squad.
Bolt too liked to come over with Optimus to Ironhide's home and play around with his friends while the parents hung out.
When Bolt was 9, and Gadg' and 'Che were 5, it was Ricochet's 'genius' idea to get her toy guns and the 3 of them launch an assault on their parents. It seemed like a perfectly good idea at the time. Until...
"SQWAD ATTAWK!" They all cried as they charged into the kitchen, where their extremely startled parents got pelted repeatedly with rubber bullets. Optimus and Ratchet ducked for cover, Ratchet yelling for them to stop as one bounced off his faceplate. But Ironhide was a weapons specialist.
He never surrenders.
While his fellow squad hid under the table, 'Hidey advanced forward and snatched Gadget's gun from him and aimied it at him playfully. "Surrender."
"RETWEAT!" Bolt screeched and legged it out of the room, pulling 'Che with him.
"Gadgwy!" She cried back, seeing her cousin captured.
"He's lost laddie!" He said and they both ran to hide. Ironhide handed Ratchet his rebel son and smirked at his friends.
"What are you thinking?" Optimus queried, making Ironhide smirk and reload the toy gun.
"They wanted a battle. We'll give 'em one."
Bolt and Ricochet were hiding upstairs in a cupboard in the storage-room, not daring to venture out for fear of 'Hide catching them too.
"This was a bad idea 'Che." Bolt whispered quietly yet scornfully.
"It awin't ma fwalt!" She exclaimed, but shut up once pedsteps neared them.
The cupboard door swung open and the kids screamed and shot at the mech standing there, who also screamed in surprise.
Only thing was they were shooting the wrong mech.
"Gahh! 'Che what the heck?!" Wheeljack exclaimed while shielding his faceplate from the bullets with his arms.
"UNKWLE 'JWACK!" Ricochet exclaimed and jumped onto his chassis, he catching her in confusion. "Swave us!"
"What?" He asked in even more confusion as Optimus came around the corner because he heard the screaming.
"Found you." The Prime said with the slightest smirk.
Before Wheeljack could react in any way Optimus took Ricochet from him and set his eyes on his own child. Bolt's optics widened.
"Wun Bolt!" 'Che yelled from Optimus' arms. Bolt didn't argue and took off down the corridor. But he turned a corner and skidded right into Ironhide's arms. The sneaky dads had set a trap.
"Nuhh!" Bolt struggled against 'Hide's hold but the mech had him.
"Nice try kid." He mused with a smirk of victory.
The older then mechs returned the children to their parents, and warned them that if they should dare take on the mighty Dad Squad again, they shall surely lose.
These 3 are gonna cause loads of mischief together XD
