Description

"Keep them alive, Breakdown."
"I will."

Oh.
My.
Goodness.
I found THE most amazing oneshot fanfic for TFP EVER. Holy CRAP. Go read it here [link] It is INCREDIBLE.
Okay, read no further if you don't want spoilers for the story. SERIOUSLY GO READ IT

All right, in the little oneshot, Knock Out gets injured, bla bla bla, Breakdown's having flashbacks, et cetera
Okay, how it says Knock Out is Drag Strip and the other dudes who I'm too lazy to type, and that Breakdown promised Motormaster he'd protect 'em and stuuf...

ANYWAY
I drew this, thinking about BD's death and the story. Okay, the moment goes something like this I guess--

Knock Out heard his assistant's cry almost as soon as he stepped through the Ground Bridge. He rushed over to where Dreadwing was kneeling, trying to keep Breakdown talking, alive. The Seeker instantly moved out of the way so Knock Out could reach the fallen warrior. Airachnid had completely severed his hammer arm and dug a deep pit in Breakdown's middle. Knock Out's stomach flipped as he looked at his assistant, shock evident on his face.
He felt even more shocked when Breakdown smiled at him. "Doc! You're... you're here..."
Knock Out nodded, "Breakdown, yes, I'm here. Satay awake, keep your optics open. Okay... what hurts?"
"I can't believe you came," Breakdown said, optic glazed with a glassy look. Knock Out could see the death in his face; Breakdown wouldn't last long if he wasn't helped immediately.
"Of course I came," Knock Out said sharply. "Dreadwing, get over here and support him! I need to--"
"No, just stop," Breakdown said weakly, but still firmly. "I'm... I'm a goner. Knock Out, look at me."
"No!" Knock Out barked. "Dreadwing, get your aft over here-!"
"Doc! Just shut up, and listen, all right?!"
Knock Out turned to his assistant in shock. Not once had the mech ever raised his voice at Knock Out unless he was forced to yell becuase it was too loud to be heard. The doctor blinked. "What is it, Breakdown?"
"'Member... that I... I'm a.. S-Stunticon, r-right?" Breakdown said, forcing himself to speak and be strong.
"Yes," Knock Out replied quickly, hoping that his assistant would shut up and give him permission to start working.
"And... m... my team... died? On.. the battlefield...?"
"Yes, I went to History 101, now shut up and--"
"Motormaster told me to keep them alive," Breakdown whispered,interrupting Knock Out. "He said to... keep my friends... my partners... alive..."
Knock Out felt Breakdown reach out and seize his hand. Knock Out looked down at his face and gave the hand a comforting squeeze. Something about Breakdown's look unnerved him. Just the sudden seriousness.
Then all of a sudden, Breakdown smiled. Knock Out could swear he saw some sort of wetness in that yellow optic.
"I did," he murmured, happy. He slowly laid his head down, repeating those two words over and over, closing his eye.
Knock Out was too shocked to move for a moment. He blinked and nudged his friend. "Breakdown?"
The physician's Spark skipped a beat when he felt Breakdown's hand become heavy in his. He didn't let go, eyes widening. He gave Breakdown another nudge. "Breakdown!"
Dreadwing bowed his head, silent. "Knock Out..."
"Breakdown!" he shouted, shaking the mech. "Get up! I haven't heard the whole story from your side! Hey! Get up, and I'll share my best High Grade! You can talk to me all about the scrap you've always wanted to tell me over a few rounds! Hey, get
up!"
"Knock Out, he's not going to get up," Dreadwing said softly.
Knock Out felt Breakdown give his hand the tiniest squeeze. Knock Out wouldn't have ever felt it if he hadn't been so anxious. Breakdown's lips moved and Knock out moved quickly to get his audio receptors close, crying weakly, "Breakdown!"
A faint smile touched the warrior's lips. Knock Out heard his last words, a broken Spark accompanying them.
"Best medic an assistant could have."


UGH IM GOING TO MAKE MYSELF CRY
See, if Airachnid had killed Breakdown like this, with a slow death, EVERYONE WOULD HAVE CRIED. THANKS, HASBRO, FOR DENYING US THAT PRIVILEGE. YOU KNOW, SOME FANS LIKE TO CRY OVER STUFF LIKE THIS. GIVE US FEEEELLLSSS
