Author's Notes: 175 drabbles and over 40 chapters? Wow. And more to come. I empathize with Prime, a pile of papers and reports with never enough time to get them onto datapads.

Prowl respected a good prank. "Harmless intellectual fun to break up the dreariness of battling. The twins go beyond that."

:: Broke a thing. Wheeljack furious. Not our fault, was just curious:: Sideswipe responded.

::That is your explanation?:: Prowl

:: Empty beakers in a warehouse box. Shattered when touched:: Sunstreaker clarified.

Prowl froze as calculations ran. Empty? No. Invisible or beyond light spectrum something by their inventor. A visit with Wheeljack confirmed his suspicions.

"Invisible until interaction with our weapons energy, can't predict exact results," he warned.

::Twins are missing, and not responding. Spread out and search please:: Prowl sent.

Sam woke to a nightmare, clad in pajamas seeing his ex-girlfriend, Barricade and Jazz hovering over him.

"Easy," Mikaela comforted, touching him.

"Must be dreaming. Yeah, that's it."

"Ladiesman217. You will help me create a sparkling," Barricade rumbled.

"What? No! You chased me, Mikaela dumped me, and you broke in half. Nothing losers!" Sam snapped.

"Agreement unnecessary. The Allspark energy can be ripped out of you!"

"Your claws or mine?" Jazz quipped, smirking as Sam fainted.

"And that's why I dumped him," Mikaela sighed.

Barricade flowed a green field around Sam's body. "Isolating energy. Fleshling unharmed."

"Why threaten then?"

"Habit."

"If you bite it and offline, it's poisonous. It bites you and you offline, it's venomous," Hound corrected Annabelle, pointing down at her nature guide.

"What if it bites me and somebot else dies?"

"That's correlation, not causation," Hound clarified.

"What if we bite each other and neither die?"

"Sparkmate cuddle time?" Ironhide suggested, smirking. He remained on guard during the hiking trail outing. "What if you avoid getting bit and offline falling off a cliff?"

"Dead of natural causes," Annabelle affirmed.

"How so?"

"Gravity is natural. Can we find rocks? Animals are dangerous. I promised mommy no dying today."

"I didn't know you drew Commander," Prime's voice startled Ultra Magnus, the datapad nearly dropped.

"How does a truck sneak up?" His friend teased.

"Megatron wonders that too," Prime chuckled, sitting nearby.

"Working on sorting teams and I remembered Kup's old suggestion. First three letters of one name and last two of another."

"And that works?"

"Did for an important choice," he seemed thoughtful. "Arcee. Arcstar and myself. ARC for her and EE from mine. Dion Three. Engraved it on Arcee's spark cover as a sparkling."

"She needs to know you are her parental mech."

"Even now?"

"Yes."

"Tomorrow then."

He paused, the chat revealing too much to scare her off?

BB:: I still fight the pain of being abandoned and alone while kidnapped.

MYS:: Not abandoned! They could not find you fast enough.

BB: How would you know?

MYS: Free yourself or rescued by a team?

BB: Rescued by combat battalion first time. Friends second time. Still damaged.

MYS:: We are all damaged. Damage is an adjective, not an existence definition. Definition includes reduce the value or usefulness of. Are you useful?

BB:: Best scout there is.

MYS:: Loved by your family?

BB:: Yes.

MYS:: They suffered losing you.
