Chapter Text
Rodimus had always wondered what kind of pet would fit with him. He had always wanted a pet but never really found one that was as cool as he was, if he was gonna have a pet it was gonna be one of the coolest ones.
Rodimus was walking around the busy market, his eyes scanning over every cage watching every creature scurry around but none of these were for him. He was about to head to another stall when his optics fell and a small black biomechanical looking creature.
Rodimus walked closer to the strange creature noting it's long finger like claws and tail that ended in a dagger, it had four tubes that ran down its back with no eyes on it's head. Rodimus had found his perfect pet.
Rodimus turned to the stall owner and asked about the creature seeing Swindle pulling out a data pad with information on the creature. Rodimus zoned out a little when Swindle was talking. Something about don't let them near... something, he couldn't remember. Swindle told him how this creature is called a Xenomorph, they are hive creatures so it's better to take two so they don't get stressed out, and gave him a list on how to care for the creature.
Later rodimus was walking back to the Lost Light with bags full of pet supplies and two little Xenomorph's the he couldn't wait to dress up in his colors. As soon as he got to his room he set up the terrarium, making sure it had the perfect temperature and hides for them to make a nest, he put climbing ropes and hanging toys for them making sure everything was perfect.
After an hour he finally finished their new home and carefully put the two Xenomorph's inside, rodimus could barely keep himself together as he gushed over how adorable they looked exploring their new home. Letting them settle in rodimus decided to make little shirts and collars.
After another few hours rodimus had two little shirts that fit them perfectly and reflected his colors perfectly. He wanted to keep watching his new pets but he had a short meeting with the new human liaison about something so he had to go, but he took his xenos with him letting them settle in on his shoulders as he walked through the halls of his ship.
After a few minutes he arrived and settled into his seat next to Megatron and Ultra magnus seeing this must be an important meeting with how many bots were here. Both bots eyed the strange creatures that were snuggling up against his neck cables. Megatron was about to ask what the creatures were until the resident human walked in or rather was carried in by Tailgate.
Tailgate let y/n onto the table so they could be seen and soon the meeting was underway. A few minutes into it though y/n started seeming like they were on guard of something, they couldn't tell what it was but something felt off. Something was in the room watching them, it wasn't safe. As rodimus was about to ask them what was wrong a screech was heard and y/n was getting chased by the Xenomorph's, rodimus and Megatron quickly separated them.
Rodimus was trying to calm down his xenos but they kept trying to go after the human so he quickly left to put them back in their terrarium, he could hear y/n yelling about having a "killing machine on board" but his questions would have to wait. Coming back Megatron was still trying to calm down y/n still freaking out about Xenomorph's being on the ship.
Rodimus went over to ask what happened and y/n quickly explained how Xenomorph's were technically predators for humans. The room fell silent as they all turned to Rodimus as the realization hit him hard. Rodimus, Megatron, and Ultra magnus asked a few more questions and y/n answered, even showing them the movies that were made based off of the first ever interactions humans had with the Xenomorph's. Safe to say non of them liked how a Xenomorph reproduces, Ultra magnus almost purged when he saw the chestburster scene.
Sadly rodimus hade to give away his new pets but he will hopefully find another that suits his lifestyle and isn't a danger to the resident human on board. He had heard of these other ones called yautja, maybe that one could work?
