One great Bumblebee and Megatron fanfic could be about their unexpected alliance. Maybe in a universe where they have to team up against a greater threat. They start off distrusting each other but as time goes on, they learn to respect one another's skills.
There's a fanfic that delves into Megatron's past and how Bumblebee's actions in the present can somehow influence it. It's a bit complex but really engaging as it weaves in and out of different timelines, showing how these two characters are connected in ways we might not have expected.
Well, Bumblebee could try to escape by building a device from the scraps he finds in Megatron's place. He's a resourceful Autobot. He might be able to create a communication device to call for help or a weapon to fight his way out. He could also look for any weaknesses in Megatron's security. Maybe there's a power source that, if disrupted, would open all the doors. Bumblebee could also try to form an alliance with some of the other captives or minions in Megatron's lair who might be disgruntled and want to escape as well.
The fanfiction might also explore the relationship between Bumblebee and Megatron in a more emotional way. Maybe Bumblebee discovers a softer side of Megatron that was hidden under all that aggression. It could be that Megatron has some regrets about his past actions, and Bumblebee becomes the one he confides in. Or perhaps Megatron sees in Bumblebee a potential future for Cybertron that he once hoped for but thought was lost. This could lead to a very unique and unexpected bond between the two characters.
Well, a plot idea could be that there is a prophecy about Bumblebee and Megatron. It says that they will either bring about the end of the Cybertronian race or save it. This forces them to interact more and try to figure out what the prophecy means. Another interesting plot could be that Megatron's mind is somehow transferred into Bumblebee's body and vice versa. They have to live in each other's shoes for a while and this changes their views of each other. And then there could be a plot where a new technology is discovered that can end the war, but Bumblebee and Megatron have different ideas on how to use it, leading to a complex relationship and many conflicts.
Well, I think Bumblebee would have a shot at winning in a battle of wits. Bumblebee has been shown to be very adaptable. In a fanfic, he could use his knowledge of Megatron's weaknesses, like his overconfidence. Bumblebee might pretend to be more vulnerable than he really is, luring Megatron into a false sense of security. Then, when Megatron least expects it, Bumblebee could strike with a clever plan. Megatron, on the other hand, is used to being in control and might not expect such a devious tactic from Bumblebee.
One unique way to develop their relationship is by making them have a common enemy that is not related to the Autobot - Decepticon conflict. This external threat forces them to put aside their differences. Also, if Bumblebee saves Megatron's life not out of kindness but because he realizes that Megatron's death would cause more chaos. This act of self - interest that has a positive outcome for Megatron can start to change their relationship. Moreover, if they both get exposed to a strange energy source that makes them see each other's memories. This shared experience of seeing into each other's minds can lead to a deeper understanding and a different kind of relationship.
A really dramatic plot twist could be if Bumblebee and Megatron had to team up in the fanfic. Maybe there's a greater threat that neither of them can face alone. It would be so unexpected because they're enemies. Bumblebee would have to put aside his hatred for Megatron, and Megatron would have to trust Bumblebee at least a little bit.
One popular Megatron x Bumblebee fanfiction could be 'The Unlikely Bond'. In this fic, it explores how their relationship might develop despite being on opposite sides in the original lore. It delves into their characters' depths and how they come to understand each other in a different context.
Another theme is the power of forgiveness. Bumblebee, despite all the harm Megatron has caused, may choose to forgive him. This is often explored in a very emotional and in - depth way in the fanfictions. It shows that even in a world of war and conflict, forgiveness can be a powerful force.
