(y/n), the energetic little child among the Autobots

Lennox warned them several times not to rile her up too much but somehow manage to do so leaving Lennox with a rambunctious child.

(Y/n) giggled and grinned as she messed with Ironhide, slightly irritating said mech while he was trying to clean his canons. He was on babysitter duty, not that he didn't enjoy her company but just not today.

She wouldn't sit still and kept running around him and playing.

Bumblebee decided to help him out as he walked over as she cheered "Bumblebee!"

"Enjoying babysitter duty?" He asked and gently waved to the young child calling his name as she grinned at the giant robot resembling a bee.

Ironhide grumbled with disapproval as (y/n) looked at him and ran up beside him

"Are you giving 'hide a hard time?" He asked, pointing a large digit at her playfully

(Y/n) laughed a little and nodded "I always alert!" As Bumblebee gave an amused expression but it turned into a displeased one as Ironhide threw the towel he was using at his face, while it had cleaner grease and oil on it as some came off on Bumblebee's face as he plucked it off

"Hey, man!"

Ironhide cocked an optic ridge at him as (y/n) giggled a little

"Eww" she slightly stuck her tongue out and shook her head in a grossed expression

Bumblebee mused over her reaction but simply threw the towel back at Ironhide "That's nasty, Ironhide. It's got grease and everything on it."

Ironhide was unphased as he grabbed the towel and resumed to clean his canon but paused when a hard knock rang on his leg armor as he looked down to see y/n was an unpleasant expression, her arms folded, almost looking mad but in an adorable pouting sense "Mean 'hide!"

Ironhide frowned a little, what did she mean?

"Say sorry!" She pointed up at Bumblebee as he stood there and looked at (y/n), a small human child telling Ironhide what to do, it was quite adorable. Demanding he apologize to Bumblebee.

Ironhide softly scoffed and smirked at her, finding it amusing. Bumblebee looked back at him after hearing the snort but slightly folded his arms as well.

When she seen that he just found her amusing she started to walk off but called for the last person he wanted to be added

"Optimus!!"

Sure enough..

The mighty Prime came over as they looked at him but Ironhide looked at Bumblebee "fine. Sorry.." He grumbled

Bumblebee slightly leaned over "What was that? I didn't hear you.."

Ironhide glanced away but growled "I said... I'm sorry!" He snarled

Bumblebee mused but nodded before walking away to wash the oil off, Optimus stood there as he watched (y/n) grin a little devilishly like some children do

"Good 'hide..."

Ironhide glanced at Optimus to read his questioning optics but looked away as Optimus looked at y/n, she looked back and grinned before raising her arms "Up!"

Doing so, he reached down, his servo gently scooping up the child as she stood there but wavered before tumbling down and giggling as he lifted her up, close to his chest armor

He was better at managing y/n than a lot of the bots.. But her favorite was always Ironhide with Optimus and Bumblebee always battling for 2nd favorite.

"That's not cool!" A guy cried as they looked over to see Bee

"Optimus wins today, sorry Bee" (y/n) grinned

Optimus didn't seem to care about being favorited, either way, he still had to protect the child under oath.

"Aw man" he groaned but walked away

Optimus looked down and placed the child on Ironhide's shoulder as she looked up at him grinning but glanced back at Ironhide as he looked at her before watching Optimus walk away, she grinned and swung her feet, giggling she reached over and kissed his faceplate "Good 'Hide!"

He softly sighed as his face plates got hot, humiliated by the child.

He knew she got a kick out of it too though so some anger had to go towards her.

"I love you, 'hide~!" She said hugging the side of his face the best he could despite the heat rising on his plates

He glanced away with a sigh. He had to love the human child to some extent otherwise he wouldn't be allowing her to do this, so forced himself to admit it "I love you too, y/n.." He muttered reached up and gently brushing his digit on her back
