Now, you guys know all about Knock Out and Breakdown and how they’re all married in the comics, right? And how on Velocitron, speed is everything?

So that sucks for Breakdown from a societal point of view. But from a practical point of view, speed is important to the Velocitronians for other reasons.

And why was that a big deal again?

Right, that.

So if you aren’t super hella fast, you run a significant risk of burning to death in the intense heat of the Velocitronian sun. Now in the comic, the only two Velocitronian bots we ever see chilling outside their city period are Moonracer and Knock Out.

And by virtue of the things we see them talking about, and their high social standing, we can probably assume they’re two of the fastest bots on the planet.

Now… the holiday special issue. We only get a tiny bit of Knock Out and Breakdown, but what do we see them doing?

Awww, they went on a honeymoon out in the Acid Wastes! That’s adorable!

But also, consider. Leaving the city on Velocitron is dangerous. If you’re not naturally fast, you stand a very good chance of dying a fiery death. Moonracer is the first bot to race outside the city in seventy years, and keeping pace with Navitas for a day was an impressive enough feat to get her a position as an interplanetary diplomat.

Breakdown… is not a fast bot. He’s so very not-fast that some people treat him “like a cripple.” Has he ever driven outside? Has he ever even had his wheels on natural ground? From what we hear about Velocitron, it doesn’t seem that likely.

And Knock Out took him to the Acid Wastes. Undeveloped land, stretching for miles and miles, no buildings even in sight, no reason to rush back or worry, no natural hazards that come anywhere near the danger of suddenly burning to death because you couldn’t outrun the sun. Just wide open spaces, and all the time in the world to drive it. I’m pretty sure Knock Out just gave his husband the most romantic present he could ever have imagined.

Crocodile Kiss Plugs

As promised, here’s my interpretation of what Plug and Play might look like! I didn’t look up any references, my only knowledge about PnP are the very basic idea of it (cables, plugs, non-sticky) and one or two pictures I’ve seen at some point. But this is what my idea of it was when I first heard the term. Now, because I don’t know shit about PnP, I don’t know how common this interpretation is and/or how similar it is to other ideas (I do remember one of the few pics I saw had the cables around the chest area, which was basically my thought of it as well). 

This thing basically consists of four cables, two with plugs and two with receivers for each bot. They’re kept inside the chest, the smaller two can be extended through two small openings on the underside of the main chest plate. The bigger two cables can only be used when the whole chest is opened, which only happens for the more intimate spark interfacing. In that case, the main chest plates either fold back into the side of the chest or can be disassembled and reveal the inside which is made of several, insect-like platings that are usually intertwined and shield the spark. These platings now fold up and intertwine with the partner’s to resume a shield for the sparks so nothing from the outside can hurt them (there’s gaps for the cables to extend on the underside). I’d have to draw some variations on that too, you can choose how snug together the chests are for this. 

Yeah that’s basically it, I don’t know how basic and common this interpretation is but this is my pretty much non-influenced take on it :’D

My Secret Solenoid gift for @midnightraid ! Knockout is much more a fan of snuggling indoors with his hubby than anything during the cold season.
