Disclaimer: I do not own the Transformers, they are owned by Hasbro. This idea was in response to an inspirational survey/poll I had done. While I will try my best at many of the ideas, one had to be first, and after another little push, this idea was born. The sparklings are here and they are a handful while Sentinel moves out of the brig. Skyburner, Lowrider, and Openroad are my creations. This contains slash and M preg. No like – No read.

( Several months after the Autobot sparklings were born)
Prowl, Jazz, and Starscream were busy as they now had five little sparklings to take care of. And it literally took all three of them, plus several of the other team members to not only take care of the little sparklings, but also keep the little brats safe. Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Sari and Optimus loved the little ones and did their best to help out, as did Ultra Magnus, but Ratchet kept out of it, as he found out one time that the three little seekerlings just loved him, and had tackled the old bot, knocking him back on his aft. After that incident, Ratchet would help, but as little as possible as he did not wish to end up on the floor again.
Sentinel Prime had been missing for months, and since they were unable to find him, the Autobots decided that he must have been killed by the enemy faction, not realizing that Sentinel had defected and become a Decepticon, and what was even worse, was that Sentinel was now Megatron's bonded. Megatron had let Sentinel out of the brig sometime ago, but still kept the ex-Autobot soldier in his quarters tied up, as Megatron did not want to free the ex-Autobot just yet, as he wanted to make sure that Sentinel would not turn on the Decepticons before letting him go and fight.
Megatron had learned from the Decepticon medic that the Decepticon leader had impregnated his sparkmate, and Megatron was pleased. He knew that Sentinel was a glitch, but he did not know that Sentinel was this much of a glitch. Megatron had kept the fact that Sentinel was his sparkmate as a secret because he did not want the Autobots or other Decepticons to use the bond as a way to destroy the leader. Sentinel had moved up from prisoner to plaything, but he was fine with that since Megatron used him quite often, as the leader was often stressed out and needed to "distress." Sentinel did not mind as he felt he got more attention here than he ever got being an Autobot. Sentinel did not realize that soon, very soon, though he was with sparklings, sentinel would be able to get back at the one bot he hated the most, Optimus Prime; and it was this hatred that Megatron was fueling as he still held the former Autobot captive.
Meanwhile, back with the Autobots, Jazz was doing his best in trying to find Lowrider, while Starscream was chasing Skyburner, Thundercracker, and Skywarp, while Prowl, still recovering from giving birth several months ago, was holding Openroad, who was the most well behaved of all the sparklings. However, it did not take long for Jazz to catch Lowrider before the little one fell from the machinery that he had crawled up upon.
But, Starscream was having a hard time catching all the little seekerlings. While TC and Warp were usually easy to catch, Skyburner drove all the Autobots nuts with the fact that he loved to run and hide in the best places, (as the little one's hiding prowess was much like Slugbug's in the Starscream's sparkmate universe). It was only due to TC and/or Warp that little Skyburner was found, as he could be quiet when he chose to be.
The funniest thing was who the little ones, outside of their creators, attached themselves to. The three little seekerlings always sought out Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Sari, as the seekerlings loved how playful these three were. Little Lowrider, though obnoxious at times, loved to follow Optimus Prime or Ultra Magnus around, learning quite a bit about how things run.
The biggest shocker was little Openroad, as the little sparkling absolutely adored Ratchet. And while the others teased the medic about it carefully, deep down inside, ratchet loved that the quiet but curious bot loved to follow him around and learn about being a medic. Ratchet loved having a captive audience, but he did not want any of the other bots to know about it, so it was Ratchet's and Openroad's secret that the two shared only between the two of them. After all, Ratchet had a reputation to protect.
Meanwhile, Sentinel was sitting in Megatron's room, waiting for the leader to return. Sentinel prided himself on being the only one who had really earned the privilege of carrying the future of the Decepticon race. Sentinel could not help but smile as he rubbed his distended abdomen. He had learned rather painfully from the Decepticon medic that he was carrying sparklings, but how many was unknown as the Decepticons lacked access to that equipment thanks to the Autobots. Sentinel, now a Decepticon, learned to tolerate the rough medic and the lack of equipment, but he did not enjoy it, as Sentinel's lust for power was almost as great as Megatron's, hence Megatron had chosen wisely for his sparkmate.
And the lack of proper equipment made the former Autobot mad as he wanted to know how many of his wonderful sparkmate's sparklings he was carrying, but he would have to wait patiently, something that the big blue oaf was not good at, but it would only be a few months more before the little ones would come and Sentinel could hardly wait, though he had trouble getting satisfied, as the further along he got, the hornier he became. Megatron, wanting sentinel to be properly initiated into the group, allowed his other minions to "satisfy" Sentinel's cravings, only there to make sure no one harmed the little developing sparklings or his sparkmate too much. Lugnut, who had someone found out that Sentinel and Megatron were sparkmates, was furious, but when Megatron allowed the others to "take part" in sharing the oaf, Lugnut always one that got the former Autobot "off" as Lugnut was the only one other than Megatron allowed to enter Sentinel's sensitive aft port. Megatron and Lugnut had reached an agreement that if Lugnut keep his mouth shut about praising the leader, Lugnut would still get his chance to take the former Autobot's aft, and Lugnut, though frustrated at not being Megatron's bonded, enjoyed pounding the crap out of the former Autobot, so it made up for not being bonded.
Meanwhile, at the Autobot base, the little ones were finally soundly in recharge, and so was Prowl, Jazz, Starscream, Bumblebee, and Sari. Bulkhead was dozing off, but not quite in recharge. The only ones left fully awake were Optimus, Ultra Magnus, and Ratchet. Ultra Magnus was fielding calls from Autobot generals while Prime was on Monitor duty and Ratchet was tidying up the makeshift med bay after he and little Openroad were going through the medical tool kit. The three older bots knew that it was only a matter of time before the Decepticons would try something. Little did they know how soon that would be, for in the coming months, the earth bound Autobots would get quite a shock as a former comrade of theirs turned violently against them.
