(Bot Type: Angst, hurt/comfort, hurt/no comfort?)

Aftermath had been through a LOT.

Everyone knew that, the Malto's, Autobots, Decepticons- everyone! HE literally got hit by a tow truck when he was first created, mistreated by the Decepticons, and literally got his spark ripped out by Starscream!

Now, though, Aftermath and Spitfire lived with the Malto's after they were both brought back to life and helped them, Terratronus, and the Autobots defeat the Quintessons.

Though, from time to time, both he and Spitfire would have... episodes. They'd be on the defensive, aggressive, and skittish, they'd also have their servos covering their spark chambers. No one really knew the triggers yet, but it happens.

Today, the Malto's (Dorothy, Alex, Robby, Mo, Twitch, Thrash, Hashtag, Jawbreaker, and Nightshade) had gone out to do... something. Aftermath and Spitfire decided to stay behind, and so did you, worried that today might be one of those days for them.

And you were right.
