Optimus X Cade - Tumblr Posts
If anyone makes a fanfic of this, tell me. I need to read it.
This is some VERY old barn husbands doodle like I think around December 2022 so please don’t mind the old art style 😭😭 but I remember having the idea of drawing Earthspark Cade and Optimus,,,
because I feel like it would just be so. FUNNY to have the LEADER OF THE AUTOBOTS develop a huge crush on this AverageTM mechanic guy living about his life. Like he just sees him around Witwicky while scouting the area and gets so mesmerized, he crashes into a Tree. and Megatron starts taking notice and makes fun of him for it.
Imagine:
“You know, when you said you would ally with the humans I didn’t know it would’ve gone so far as to fall in lov-“
“SHUT THE FUCK UP”
Or maybe
“Maybe he would like you back.”
“No, he wouldn’t and besides, we have different lives, different jobs… it just wouldn’t work. He has a daughter and probably a wife so-“
“She’s dead.” “REALLY?! I mean- really? Wow, that is absolutely terrible.”
Like do yOU SEE THE VISION!!!
Also like their first meeting could be the Terrans eventually get involved in something and end up in his backyard (he lives in the country side of witwicky, not in town) and he helps them. And when he helps them back home or something, Optimus sees him and like, Freezes before thanking him (poorly) (hes stuttering like hell) and Cade is like, “no problem! Yk, this might sound real corny but I’m a big fan of you and your team.” all sweet and embarrassed but OP is just like Freaking. Tf. Out. (Internally) LIKE!!!! imagine!!!!!
The Terrans have like no clue and think nothing of it but Dot looks up and Megatron and he just Nods, smiling. Bumblebee just has a midlife crisis thinking about how he might have a Dad2.
FUCK YEAH!!!

Gah! 😫💙
Cade getting taken with Optimus instead of Tessa in age of extinct. How different would the events turn out or would it be the same
I think it might depend on Cade's priorities vs Tessa's in the scene.
When Cemetery Winds attacks the Yeager property (as Optimus is yeeting people and storming out of the barn to defend his new whoomans) Cade LEAPS to action, grabbing the little eye in the sky thing, defending himself, getting to Tessa to protect/guide her etc. This moment shows his quick thinking in literal life or death moments. He's far from useless when the chips are at stake. Cade shows more than once he can be clever enough when the adrenaline is pounding to make different choices than Tessa does. (Of course, Shane also has to physically stop Cade from sprinting after his daughter when she's captured by proxy during the scene with Lockdown collecting Prime. (His reactiveness can be helpful and also cause him to start shit he shouldn't.) And there's nothing wrong at all with Tessa's main priority to get the FUCK off the creepy ass alien ship. Especially since she and Optimus get separated pretty quickly! I don't blame her for wanting to piece out, being frightened and panicked. (And she's still not so panicked she makes poor choices, so kudos to her reluctant bravery.) Esp since Cade's crusade was to fix Optimus, then get revenge on CW for threatening her. Tessa's goals are...keep her dad alive? Stay with the autobots for protection, etc. Different goals = different responses, but I do imagine the outcome would eventually be the same.
For one, since the Prime 2.0 team are by now more familiar to her, she would be just as adamant they help her rescue her father I'm sure. Bee especially would be easy to persuade, or take none at all.
Replacing Cade and putting him in the netting with the SUV instead would be different but I guess similar. (Like, the scene would likely end with the bots sneaking onboard, saving Prime/Cade.) Although obviously Cade would want to get off the ship and return to Earth ASAP, I could also see him more intent to stick with Optimus, even if it's just out of sight (However hard that might be.) And to use the chaos of the moment to get nearer and take shelter to wait for a chance to help in whatever capacity that looks like. Because he's already displayed a desire to help Optimus before. Seeing Mr. Leader of the Free Galaxy literally tossed into a cage and strung up upside down like a piece of meat in a butcher's house would not sit well with Yeager. He's too much of a protector for that, he has to do something.
I could see Prime seeing that as both foolhardy while also quietly touched by the sheer loyalty Cade gives him.
I like how in almost every barn husband's fic Cade at some point is on Optimus shoulder. Like the whole (small T^T) community just agreed, yup that's Cade's spot. I love it and I stand by it.
