(A/N: This is an AU bc Minitron's just a lil guy :3. I love this insectoid-arachnid creature so much bro. Ur Denny Clay's kid and Russell's sibling, btw!! <3)
Not too long ago—well—more like a month and a half ago—there was an incident with this Decepticon Cybertick named Minitron where he basically mind-controlled Grimlock by biting him and clinging to his plating. It wasn't the best experience, considering you and Russell could've died and watched the Bee Team get injured pretty badly. It caused a whole lot of problems—such as Underbite the Chompazoid escaping and rejoining with Steeljaw's Pack.
At the end of incident, though, Minitron was eventually captured and put back into his stasis pod.
Not too long ago, though, Sideswipe accidently messed with something in the control centre and kinda opened some of the pods—you all got them all closed back up, though!—well... all but one.
Only you knew that, so far now, after having taken pity on the Cybertick during the unintentional jailbreak—he couldn't go back to Steeljaw and his pack, he'd be hurt. But he didn't want to go back into stasis, no Decepticon would—you decided to keep him secret from Bee and his team and your family.
You'd learned to communicate Minitron through paper considering he could only let out sounds like squeaks and whines unless he took control of a bots frame—which he did NOT want to risk right now.
Currently, you were sitting at the edge of the Scrapyard by yourself—well—by yourself as in with no Autobots, your brother, or your father, since Minitron was with you.
