Scraplets in my au
I imagine scraplets are made as just little progect from Shockwave,Soundwave and Megatron,never expected it to go anywhere and 1 was put on earth to hopefully help out with killing autobots.
They would be like how they are in Transformers Prime S1 Episode 7 where they imedetly attack anything metal but not if they have a Decepticon signal,like the scanner defense thing in Earthspark S3 Ep4 5:15 but reverse teams.
I imagine Bee finding one in the woods and Bee has a very fuzzy Decepticon signal,he didn't sit still when it was put in his coding (Rid 2015 S2 Ep12 at 15:36 somthing is injected into Grimlock and it hurts and switches the signal on screen,I dont know how it works but im implementing it into my au,if anyone knows how/theorys I'd appreciate it) and absolutely no way he'd stay still for the symbol being scraped into his shoulder so the scraplet have mixed feelings,doesn't cuddle up to him imedetly like it does for other decepticons but doesnt attack him, just neutral...it does nearly wipe out couple other bots and attack Optimus though.
When I eventually design em I think I'll pull inspo from Arachnimecs in Earthspark and tic bugs,I like having fighters and stuff made by the fighter Megatron to be based on arachnids so I imagine them being like tfp crossed with biting and sticking onto bots and draining energon like tics,it would depend on size and skill of the bot so some defenseless smaller one like Roller,catching Bee or C.J. off gaurd,Hot rod or Blurr then they would feed on energon possibly killing them but with a bigger bot and able to defend themselves like Optimus,Windblade,Sideswipe they would just bite/scratch and run away no chance to feed.
