Work Text:

“So, Major Malto, you’ve sided with the enemy. A pity.”

 

“Oh, I’ve done a lot more than that, Mandroid.”

 

There was a beat where no one moved, everything seemed to have been paused in time. Then Mandroid turned back to Dot with a perplexed look on his face. “What?

 

Dot smirked as she stood up, shifting her weight more towards where Megatron was tied down. “What can I say? I like a man with some horsepower.”

 

Megatron’s eyes were wide as he gaped at her, a faint flush high on his sharp cheeks. “Dorothy,” he said in a strangled voice, sounding scandalized.

 

Mandroid looked between them, confusion slowly giving way to dawning horrified disgust. “You,” he said loudly, pointing to Dot with his stolen arm. “And him? ” He threw his arm wide, gesticulating wildly at the captive ex-warlord.

 

There was wild laughter wanting to bubble up but Dot heroically beat it back, some how managing to contain it to a smirk as she tossed her hair over her shoulder. She shrugged and looked over at Megatron, having some interesting thoughts about him on his knees. “What can I say? Once you go ‘bot, you’re good and caught.”

 

The noise that left Megatron’s vocalizer nearly had Dot breaking her rib to keep from laughing as she turned back to watch Mandroid nearly short circuit as he struggled to comprehend what she just heavily implied.

 

“Humans… and… Cybertronians … are… mating?

 

“Where do you think the Terrans came from?” She shot back, moving carefully, slowly, towards the little spider mechs holding Megatron down.

 

“I- No, that’s impos- what?

 

“Oh, good,” Megatron snarked, having recovered from his own shock enough to be a sarcastic bastard. “I think you broke him.”

 

“Too bad,” she said with a shrug, and lunged for the nearest weapon.




Later, after they got free and they were fighting the monster mech Mandroid had created, Megatron got his own taunt in.

 

Mandroid! ” Megatron roared as he transformed at speed, bracing for the impact and catching the littlest Terran before she fell. “Dorothy isn’t the only cyber-fucker on this planet! Your sister says hullo.

 

Mandroid’s scream of rage was drowned out by Megatron’s laughter, and the children’s disgusted yelling.
