WHY TF IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS SCENE WHERE JESTRO HELPS THE KNIGHTS FIGHT MONSTERS AND SAVE HIS BOYFRIEND (Clay) !!!!!
LIKE COME ON YOU COWARDS.
Hey guys. With more gameplay videos coming in of This Time It’s Virtual, I wanted to take some time with it to try and pinpoint when does Max change his views about Lumpy canonically. Spoilers under the cut:
Now I don’t have any screenshots yet, but I will quote from what I remember.
At the beginning, Max saw Lumpy as a random being he and Sam found during a case that is conveniently the only one who can use a rocket launcher. When they defeat the monster, Sam gets the idea of recruiting Lumpy while Max groans and begs Sam not to.
Throughout the game, Max constantly insults Lumpy, being sarcastic and telling them to “suck it”. When Sam asks why he’s like this, he replies:
There are rare compliments he does every now and then such as calling them “Kid” and such, but he quickly says “but I still hate you”, “sort of”, and what not. There’s a part where Max gets possessed by a demon and when he gets saved, his first words were in disbelief: “Did Lumpy just save my immortal soul?” It seemed genuine, but then he goes back to being sarcastic.
When the main story really begins, It gets interesting. Sam gets kidnapped and Max immediately gets depressed/separation anxiety. When he sees Lumpy, he demands them to act and help him get Sam. Although he knows that Sam’s alive and he does go back to joking, he‘s still worried about Sam and does everything to get back to him. When Max and Lumpy disguise themselves to break in, it seems like everything is back to goofy normal for a Sam and Max adventure.
But I think the turn happens is when everyone gets back from the Nanoverse and the final boss appears. For the first part, Max and Lumpy are working together. Max gives instructions and encouragement:
“Remember your training, Lumpy! … (whispering) God, I can’t believe I said that in public.”
At one point, he even calls Lumpy “Junior” like Sam does.
But I think the moment that Max’s views of Lumpy changes is when he grows into a giant and saves Sam and Lumpy. After he stuffs the boss into the portal, he kneels and offers his paw to Lumpy, Lumpy climbs on and Max is like “Going up?” As he stands up and brings Lumpy to the portal. When Lumpy starts shooting and solving puzzles, Max is surprisingly patient. He gives Lumpy his gun, he jokes as he’s lifting them up, and he holds still even when he’s complaining and cursing about puzzles and Sam tries to calm him down.
But I think the moment his view changes of Lumpy happens when Lumpy solves the puzzle and Max is like:
Throughout the giant Max sequence, he is gentle, smiling, and he doesn’t want Lumpy killed. And I’m like 🥺😭
Giant Max and Tiny Lumpy are friends.
Favorite moments when I was reading a bayverse transformers FIC where its bumblebee x reader also FATHER AND DAUGHTER CONTENT FROM OPTIMUS 💙💙💙
Happy Pride month Y’all 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️

Happy Gay month once again pals :)
“The apartment on the far side are secure,” Boulder called down to the Griffin Rock Rescue Team as they approached the scorched shell of the building. “Just stay away from the wall. Heatwave joined them, bracing his hand beneath the exposed floor of the unstable side of the building to hopefully offer some support in case anything were to happen. Blades cupped his hands and allowed Dani to step into them, lifting her up so she could shine her flashlight into the windows. Kade, Graham, and Cody stayed outside to watch while Chief headed for the door. One of the citizens had apparently left their medicine inside, and he wasn’t going to deprive them of that.
“Dad, wait!” Chief turned to see Mic jogging over to him. “I’m coming with you.”
“Kiddo, I appreciate it, but I don’t think-“
“It’s safe? Yeah, I know,” Mic said. “You always insist we use the buddy system, and you’re no exception. That’s why I’m coming with you. Plus, four eyes are better than two, right?”
Chief let out a breath but smiled, squeezing her shoulder. “Okay. Good point. Just stay close, alright? I don’t want you to get hurt.”
Mic nodded and pulled out a flashlight, clicking it on. The two of them approached the building together, passing by Chase who was crouching by the entrance. “Please remain in my line of sight, Chief, Mic,” the police bot said, staring down at them. “Then I can assure your safety.”
“Mr. Hooten said his medicine’s in the bedroom,” Chief explained, a gentle laugh just barely audible in his voice. “We’ll be careful, partner.”
Chase still watched them like a hawk as the pair went inside. Mic glanced up at the ceiling as some dust rained down upon them, and then glanced back. Her littlest brother, Cody, had his flashlight trained upon them and was watching closely. He looked worried. Trying to ease his concern, Mic shot him a wink and a wave. Cody waved back, smiling slightly, and seemed a bit more at ease. Even so, his worry didn’t disappear completely, especially when the building’s supports groaned loudly.
Mic caught up to Chief, and both of them swept their flashlights across the room. Dust trickled down from the ceiling again, and Chief hissed gently through his teeth. “We shouldn’t stay here very long,” he said.
“In and out,” Mic said as the pair reached the bedroom door. “I’ll check the bathroom cabinets, you check the bedside table.”
“Good plan,” Chief said, smiling slightly. He watched her out of the corner of his eye as he checked the bedside table, making sure she wasn’t near any particularly unstable spots. His fingers brushed over a hard, plastic container, and he scooped it up triumphantly. “Jackpot!”
“Great,” Mic said, jogging out of the bathroom. “Let’s get out of here. This place is giving me the creeps.”
“Probably because it’s falling apart,” Chief teased good-naturedly, ruffling their hair as they joined him at the exit. “Those are your survival instincts talking.”
“At least that means I have them,” Mic joked as they walked together towards the massive hole in the wall. They could see Chase waiting just outside. “Unlike Kade.”
“Don’t bully your older brother,” Chief chuckled. “…But you’re not wrong.” Mic grinned, and Chief couldn’t help but feel a little nostalgic for the times when she was just a little girl. His kid had grown up to be fearless and kind, and he couldn’t be prouder, but sometimes time just seemed to pass too fast.
Suddenly, a rumble like an earthquake shook the building, and dust and rubble began to pour down from the ceiling in earnest. Chief and Mic paused, both of their eyes widening when they saw cracks racing along the walls and ceiling. “Go!” Chief said, pushing her ahead of him as they ran through the final doorway and towards the gaping hole in the side of the building.
“Dad! Mic!” they heard Cody cry from outside, rushing closer but not daring to go inside the collapsing building. Mic looked up again, watching the cracks beat them to the exit. Her heart sank. They weren’t going to make it. Or at least not both of them.
The choice was easy. She fell back slightly, grabbing her father’s shoulders. With one mighty shove, the roar of the building crashing down filling her ears, Mic pushed him out the hole right as debris slammed down into her, completely obscuring them from sight.
“MIC!” Chief screamed, scrambling to his feet before the dust could even settle, tearing into the debris with his bare hands even as it scraped against his skin. No, no, no, not his kid, please-!
Chase and Heatwave were at his side instantly, the firebot gently nudging him aside. “Boulder, get Chief!” he yelled hoarsely. They needed him out of the way to move the debris without risking hurting even more of their family. Boulder nodded and scooped up Chief, murmuring comfort to him as the police chief beat against his servos, begging him to let him find his daughter.
Chase lifted a beam, and Heatwave cleared away the last of the debris, and there she was. Humans were already so small compared to them, but curled up on her side and unmoving, Mic looked tiny. Chase felt his vents stop intaking as he noted the dust and blood coating her hair and clothes. Boulder and Blades leaned closer from where they had come to help, Blades’ optics instantly filling with coolant.
Was she breathing? Heatwave retracted his visor, servos beginning to tremble uncontrollably. Chief had gone silent in Boulder’s grasp, staring up at the green bot’s wide, glassy optics and praying it didn’t meant what he thought it did. Finally, Mic shuddered and coughed weakly, then spasmed as pain wracked her body.
Chase didn’t feel nearly as much relief as he thought. She was alive, yes, but the shuddering clearly meant something was wrong. He clenched his fists to force a tremor out of his servos and reached down, scooping her up as gently as possible.
There was a sharp, loud crack, and Mic gave a wheezy, shrill scream. Chase forced himself not to flinch and make things worse, having felt something in her abdomen snap. Chief redoubled his struggles in Boulder’s hands.
“Blades, transform!” Dani cried, panic audible in her voice as she waved her bot over. “We need to get them to a hospital, now!”
The entire family rushed over as Chase lowered her to the ground away from the building, but it was Kade who carefully received her. “I’ve got you, I’ve got you,” he said, cradling her as gently as he could even as Mic jerked with pain at the disturbance. Chief helped support him as the two of them rushed to Blades’ waiting alt mode, and Kade climbed in with Dani.
Cody grasped his father’s hand as Blades took off, carrying his sibling away. He had never seen his father so pale… or one of his family member’s so grievously injured. Chief’s hand shook in his, and he squeezed it. “Dad, she’s going to be okay, right?” he asked shakily.
Chief took a deep breath, pulling his composure back together. He couldn’t fall apart in front of his family. Not now. Not when they needed him most. But god, if he lost his kid… “She’ll pull through,” he said, squeezing Cody’s hand back and praying it was true. “She’s tough. Let’s get Mr. Hooten his medicine, and then we can get to the hospital.”

Meanwhile, at the Clay scrapyard, Fix-It suddenly started to wave his arms to get Bumblebee and Optimus’ attention. “We’re receiving a transmission!” He turned to tap on the console, frowning. “Huh. I d-d-d-d-didn’t even know we had a transmittor. Anyway, it’s from, uh… Griffin Rock?”
“Griffin Rock?” Bumblebee repeated, approaching with a smile on his face. “That’s great! That team is the best. What did they say?”
“Um, they said to come as fast as possible,” Fix-It said. “Apparently someone named Mic got… er… caught in a falling building?”
The smile slid right off of Bumblebee’s faceplates, and Optimus’ expression hardened in a way that it usually only did in battle. “Does it mention her condition?”
“She’s alive,” Fix-It said, worried. “But not in good shape. Are- are we leaving right now?”
“We must,” Optimus said, activating his battle mask. “This person is very important to us both. If they have been hurt, we must check on them.” He transformed, revving his engines. “Autobots, roll out!”

Alright, hope you enjoy the angst! >:D (And the slightly cliché ending, lol) Writing Chief being extra parental right before everything quite literally comes crashing down was my favorite part personally because it makes everything hurt that much worse!
