One interesting story could be about a human who gets chosen by Optimus Prime to be his liaison on Earth. The human helps Optimus understand the complex social and political situations among humans better. They form a deep bond of friendship and together face off against the Decepticons who are trying to manipulate human leaders.
In some fanfictions, a young human mechanic is the one who discovers a way to upgrade Optimus Prime's systems. This gives Optimus an edge in battles against the Decepticons. The human and Optimus then embark on a journey across the world to find ancient Cybertronian artifacts that could potentially end the war between the Autobots and Decepticons once and for all.
There might be a fanfiction where a group of humans discover an injured Optimus Prime. They nurse him back to health in secret. In return, Optimus teaches them about Cybertronian technology and culture. This knowledge helps the humans in their own technological advancements, and they join forces with Optimus to protect the planet from other threats.
Writers often develop Optimus Prime as a wise and noble leader. They show his strategic thinking in battles and his moral compass when dealing with humans. For example, he might make decisions that protect both his Autobot comrades and the humans at the same time. Bumblebee, on the other hand, is usually portrayed as more youthful and energetic. His beeping and use of radio snippets to communicate add a unique charm. Writers might have him be more impulsive at times, especially when it comes to protecting his friends, whether they are Autobots or humans.
One plot idea could be that the human reader is a mechanic who accidentally discovers a hidden ability in Optimus Prime. While working on him, they find a new energy source that only reacts to the human's touch. This leads to a special bond between them as they explore what this new discovery means for the Autobots and their fight against the Decepticons.
One interesting Optimus Prime fanfiction could be about his origin story in a different universe. Maybe in this story, he was created by a group of ancient beings with a unique purpose.
Well, a cool crossover would be a race - related one. Optimus Prime is known for his speed in vehicle mode. He could participate in a race in the RWBY world, perhaps against some of the high - speed vehicles or characters there. This would not only be an exciting event but also a chance for the two different universes' cultures to clash and interact. Also, there could be a story where Optimus helps RWBY characters understand the concept of teamwork in a new way, based on his own experiences with the Autobots.
Perhaps a fanfiction where Bumblebee gets severely damaged in a battle. Optimus Prime then has to take on the role of not just a leader but also a mentor to help Bumblebee recover both physically and mentally, and in the process, they form an even deeper bond.
One popular theme is friendship. In many fanfictions, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee's bond extends to their interactions with humans. They protect humans not just as a duty but as friends. Another theme is adventure. The Autobots, including Optimus and Bumblebee, often embark on exciting adventures with humans, exploring new places and facing new enemies. Also, the theme of self - discovery is common. Humans in these fanfictions might discover new strengths or abilities while interacting with the Transformers, and the Transformers themselves may also learn more about humanity and their own place in the universe.
Another aspect is the acceptance of differences. The human reader has to accept that Optimus Prime is not human, he has different values and a different physical form. Optimus Prime has to accept the fragility and short lifespan of the human. They need to work through these differences and find common ground. For instance, they both value justice and freedom. By focusing on these shared values and gradually understanding their differences, their relationship can develop in a believable way.
Another aspect could be how Optimus Prime tries to give his daughter a normal life while also being a leader in the fight against the Decepticons. He might struggle to balance his duties as a father and as an Autobot. For instance, he may miss important events in her life because of battles or strategic meetings.
In the fanfiction, the relationship between Optimus Prime and his human daughter might be a source of great emotional depth. She could be a symbol of hope for him, and he might teach her important values like courage and loyalty. For example, she could grow up learning about the Autobot - Decepticon conflict from him and decide to help in her own way, perhaps by using her knowledge of human society to assist the Autobots in their fight.
One interesting Optimus Prime love fanfiction could be about his relationship with a human female who helps him understand human emotions better. In such a story, they might go through various challenges together while fighting the Decepticons and in the process, their bond deepens.
