Optimus X Elita - Blog Posts
I wish I could just properly articulate how much love is a fear for BlackArachnia (tf:s). (CW : Trauma and bad feels)
Seriously, the only song I can use to describe her fear is litterally a song about kidnapping. (“Tag, Your It” - Melanie Martinez)
Finding out she was left for dead by the love of her life was like a gut-wrenching, tearing out of any feelings she ever had. She had been abandoned, the only bot she ever loved, left her for spider-food. How could anyone be that cruel? Did he even care? Shouldn’t he have come back for her, even if it was years later? No. He never did. She became BlackArachnia 17,573 years after her shell had been killed.
In Beasts On Earth!!, she tried every form of method to keep SilverBolt away, to show see never needed such weak and painful feelings, she didn’t need to be betrayed so painfully again. She even ensured he would die from the foraging of killer spiders she planted in his chest, and even then, after he miraculously survived, he took care of the one left he insisted on keeping, and still said he loved her.
Just like Optimus. He didn’t give up on her. Every fight, every hurtful word, every near-death issue. He wanted to be with her.
How is this possible?
Her spark couldn’t calm down in her hardend chassis. Her limbs were not responding to any thought from her processor. Everything was closing in yet falling apart all at the same time. Her vision was darkening and she felt sick from the deepest parts of her spark. It was all too much for her. Why did she have to feel this way? All these stupid emotions and stupid feeling and stupid fragging maximals that had to be so perfect and great and innocent.
"Do you even know what that does to me, Orion? To constantly be met with understanding and patience and…and you?" Her voice cracks slightly, her anger beginning to fray at the edges, revealing the vulnerability beneath. "It's infuriating."
"…Why are you so damned understanding?!" Elita bursts out, her optics flashing with helpless frustration. "Everytime I yell, every time I push, you just…Absorb it!" She slams her hand against the wall, leaving an impression. "It's maddening!"
"It makes me angry! It makes me so angry that I can't even be mad at you properly!" She pauses, her optics flickering rapidly. "You make it impossible to dislike you! You're the most irritatingly decent mech I've ever encountered!"
"…You think I push everyone away because I want to?" Her voice drops dangerously low, a dangerous glint in her optics. "Maybe I just can't stand most mechs. Ever consider that?" She snaps, but there's a hint of vulnerability she can't quite disguise.
"…Why are you still being decent about this?! I'm being a total jerk! Why aren't you yelling?!" Her arms cross tightly over her chest. "I thought you would finally tell me to…To shut up or leave or something!" She finishes in a frustrated shout, her voice echoing off the walls. "But no, you just have to be…You!" She gestures at him in exasperation. "Always so calm and understanding and…Ugh!"
“…I don’t have a sparkling,” she said again, as if trying to convince herself none of this was real. “I don’t love.”
“I can’t believe they became leaders of the factions…Despite what awful cowards they are…” BlackArachnia muttered in tears, her voice just barely heard over the rustling of the tree.
“…That wrech doesn’t deserve the fame he has! He abandoned me, like everyone else always does!” BlackArachnia hissed back at him, her claws scratching harshly at the bark, causing ScatterSpot to cling to SilverBolt’s leg.
“You don’t care! You never could! Just abandon me as well let me crawl back home!” BlackArachnia snarled back, continuing to scratch at the tree.
“…I’m good on my own. I’m strong, indipendant, I don’t need stupid love to make it work! I’m better off on my own! Why can’t you see that?!”
Hi!I read your story about the other woman pt 1 and 2 and i love it! Do you think you will do a part 3? If there is i can't wait to see the continue of the story! :3
yes! there will be a next part but I gotta stop being so damn lazy 😭 my plans for pt.3 is for it to be more accurate to my au. thx for asking! :D
relationship headcanons
after some bickering and convincing, the three decided to stay together but only for the kids and never communicate with each other (not even a "hi" or "how are you").
Ratchet was literally the dad that stepped up for Striker whenever Optimus couldn't (based from @hink12 's comment).
And when I mean arguments would start, oh they would start but it was never in front of the kids.
After flirty encounters and hanging around (name) knows she's developing feelings but keeps denying them.
lil headcanons + random stuff abt my au cause it's rotting my brain now-
𝑠𝑙𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑠𝑡

I like to imagine that when Striker and Bee met for the first time (Striker was 5 and Bee was 4) they called each other "best friends" but didn't realize that they were half siblings until Optimus, (name), and Elita told them.
When Optimus and Elita found out they were expecting Bee it was like:
"...we fucked up"
"we did"
And during that time, Optimus and (name) were still together so the duo just decided to keep Bee's existence a secret.
(name) didn't find out about until after everything happened and she was pissed, and mostly hurt because he slept with another, sparked her up and didn't even bother to tell anyone!
But even though she was angry, (name) still cared for Bee like he was her own
Striker would sometimes ask why she has a half sibling or why Eilta is referred as her "other mother" but (name) would have a hard time trying to answer her because it it was always a sensitive topic for them.
Bee and Striker are like Mario and Luigi:
Though he's the youngest, Bee was slightly taller than Striker at such a young age despite her being older than him.
Since no one asked, I'mma yap about my au
(idk why I'm putting this here but just in case anyone gets confused: (name) = reader)
pt. 1 pt. 2
pls ignore how bad the pic is 🙏🏾😭
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
In this au, it takes place somewhere in the middle/end where the events do happen but there's a twist:
Bee is a whoops baby
(name) and Optimus already have a kid of their own
Elita-1 and (name) have slight beef with each other
And in this post, I'm gonna break this down and explain as best as I can.
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
I'm gonna start with:
"Who is Striker?"
Striker is the kid of Optimus and (name).
"Why'd you give them a kid?"
To try and make the story sound a little more interesting(???). And as I was making this I thought "hmm, wouldn't it be nice if reader and OP had a sparkling so that way the drama was a little bit more complicated?"
"What is Striker's gender/ what do they look like?"
Well I'm glad you asked! even tho I can't draw, Striker is a femme that took more of (name)'s personality but mostly has Optimus' frame (and colors but Striker has (name)'s optics).
"How'd you come up with the name?"
I came up with it as I was making the picture and after like 30 minutes of thinking "alright, fuck it we calling 'em Striker"
"How old is Striker?"
I would say that Striker is about 4-5 (or 6) during the events while only being one year older than Bee.
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
"What is the beef between (name) and Elita-1/how did it start?"
After the events in the fic (name) is angry at Elita because:
She never knew one of her closest friends would be in a secret relationship with her supposed lover
(name) believes that its mostly Elita's fault for allowing Optimus to just swoon her into dating him.
On Elita's side of the story:
She really doesn't do anything about it because she knows those things are true and now their relationship is strained because of her actions (same thing with Optimus).
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
"What is Optimus' relationship with Striker and Bee?"
even though after the whole incident and basically divorcing w/ (name) Optimus decided that even though they split, he still wanted to be part of Striker's life and at least try to be a father figure.
As for Bee, he's mostly there with him more than he is with Striker (but he doesn't realize that because he's trying so hard to be a father figure to the both of them) and it makes (name) really upset making them think that he's only with Bee because it's his and Elita's kid.
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
"Does (name) stay with the Autobots?"
Even though she is angry at Optimus and Elita (name) decided to stay with The Autobots and doesn't join the Deceptions for the sake of Striker.
"Does (name) end up being with someone else?"
Yes and No. After the incident and everything happening, (name) doesn't focus on finding someone else, they focus on Striker and being with The Autobots but they sometimes do get a bit flirty with Ratchet.

You froze, a wave of emotions hit you. Anger, heartbreak, surprise and worst of all, betrayal as you realized...
𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐬' 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞....
You struggle to contain your emotions as your legs felt weak, tears threatened to spill form your optics. Your anger just wanted to spill over the top, but you managed to control yourself to quickly and silently leave the scene.
When Optimus and Elita finally departed, the air felt tense
"𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚..𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬... 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠"
You try to keep your emotions in check, but couldn't help it. You just saw your supposed lover kiss another and it's even worse that you considered Elita-1 a friend
When finally reaching your chambers, it all just comes crashing down. Never ending tears flow from your optics, you craddle your knees to your chest and just cry, cry and cry until. You hear a knock
"(𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞), 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭? 𝐈 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮"
silence...
you wanted to scream soo badly but decided to suck it up and give him a piece of your mind as you stood and spoke.
"𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧"
As you crossed your arms with a frown, the door slowly opens revealing a "concered" Optimus.
"𝐈𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐢𝐠-"
"𝐍𝐨 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐈 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬"
You didn't even let him finish, but you didn't care, anger was the only thing you felt right now.
"𝐖-𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭-"
"𝐈𝐦 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚"
You just couldn't stop as the emotions just boiled over and you were not in the mood right now.
silence...
"𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥?"
more silence
"(𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞), 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧-"
"𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐬? 𝐎𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭?"
silence
"𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐬.... 𝐖𝐡𝐲? 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞?"
Your voice broke, still struggling to contain your emotions.
silence
"𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈...𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫"
"'𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲' 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞?, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 '𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭'?"
"𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭, 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐬... 𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐈 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡?"
"...."
"𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞, 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫"
you decided to give him one last look before going back into your chambers
"𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐛𝐲𝐞 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐬"
and you closed the door in his face, all that you hear is him sighing before walking away. It took you a while to call down and not confront Elita. You tried so hard to think this was a dream but you keep realizing that
𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧

And done. Couldn’t decide which version to post. The og is pink. (Tumblr hecked up the quality a bit)
This is a redraw of Alex Milne’s Elita/Optimus piece in “Hot Motor Oil”. I know I took a hell of a lot of liberties and reinvented the wheel in places while I was at it. But this is still heavily inspired by that particular work of his.
Thank you to everyone who reblogged, commented and liked, or had any interaction whatsoever with the process post. I’ll be honest and say that I haven’t enjoyed drawing in quite some time, but working on this lit that fire up again.
I have about a million versions of this, so if anyone wants it a different hue besides BW, just ask. I’m more than happy to give it. And do whatever you’d like with this, it was a labor of love, but just please don’t claim it as yours. If you do anything with it though, please tell me because it’ll make my day.
And I can’t just leave this without a mentioning the song I listened to on repeat while drawing this:
Coheed and Cambria - Unheavenly Creatures (I didn’t even know about that spectacular album art till looking up the vid just now, so hey, thats cool)
I’ll shut up now <3

Art I commissioned to johnb_draws! I really wanted a fanart of these two in Cyberverse style, just too bad Elita couldn’t appear in the show. :/
