TFP Bumblebee: *Beeps* Want to race? *beeps*
TFA Bumblebee: Yeah! Uh… I'm actually in trouble, so I'm not allowed out of my Optimom's sight at the moment.
TFP Bumblebee: *Beeps* Trouble? Optimom? *Beeps*
TFA BumbleBee: I call Optimus 'mom' so do all of us younger than them, so Optimom. It's fun doing this whole 'family' thing humans do.
TFP Bumblebee: *Beeps* How many are there and is somebot the dad? *Beeps*
TFA Bumblebee, frowning: I mean there's about almost 10 of us that call them Optimom but only 3 of us are considered their kids. As for a dad…. Ugh He's not my dad! He's the dad to my siblings biologically but not to me.
TFP Bumblebee: ?
TFA Bumblebee: We like to tease Optimom about being a Sparkling stealer since the majority of us do have a creator of some kind.
TFA Bumblebee: My cousins are Starscream's and Skyfire's younglings.
TFP Bumblebee: *Beeps* What!? *Beeps*
TFA Bumblebee: Yeah, Optimom's charisma won them over into the family unit. Optimom is hugging size.
Careful of your Optidad, they have their sights on hugging him and will threaten to cry if he pushes them a way.
TFP Bumblebee tries not to laugh, but then realized they said 'Optidad'.
TFA Bumblebee: Anyways, as for my siblings, they are Megatron's.
The rest of the TFP crew listening to them whip their helms so fast in shock.
TFA Bumblebee: Optimom likes to say "they chose them." My sister was already adopted by a human long before we ever met and in a life or death situation Optimom gave a piece of themself to keep her alive. So their kind of related now.
TFP Bumblebee: *beeps* how exactly is she Megatron's? *beeps*
TFA Bumblebee: The Allspark does some weird things.
TFP Bumblebee: *beeps* and the last sibling? *beeps*
TFA Bumblebee: Ugh Megatron turned out to be alive blah blah Soundwave was created and manipulated and then thrown a way. He did his own thing after that, aimless and looking for something to latch onto.
At first he latched onto hate and revenge because that's the only thing he learned when he was created- after many failures and some kindness… he latched onto Optimom. Optimom was a solid presence that didn't change. I'm not going to go into anymore detail though.
TFA Bumblebee had to stop talking as they belatedly realized they were too open about things that weren't their call to make.
They apologize about the over explanation and asked if they could just listen to some music they brought instead.
TFA Ratchet: Kid, you have got to get a handle on that mouth plate of yours. Telling everyone your life's story.
TFA Bumblebee: Sorry! You know how I like to talk!
Eventually the TFP crew finally caught up at the name drop.
TFP Arcee: Wait! Did you say Soundwave?
