✿ Weapons: not equipped with weapons

✿ Unique Abilities:

Tactical skill:
Flower's processor is very fast in accessing a situation, finding possible solutions and generally considering every little detail. But it's so much information that actually making a decisison can be too stressful for Flower and he ends up doing the wrong thing. This ususally only happens during battle, for example when he's forced to decide if some hits are worth taking to get to his opponent, he happens to chose to take the wrong ones and can get seriously hurt. It also happens that he's so focused on those things, that he forgets to acivate the plates to protect his fists during a punch and ends up damaging the joints in his hand.

Knowledge of martial arts:
Despite him being so tall and bulky and actually slow, he is capable of some martial arts moves he learned by watching and analysing movies.

- Great strength:
If there's something Flower is proud of then it's his strength. He's build to protect his processor and the data he collected, so he can take quite some damage and deal out just as much if he has to. He's always in for a friendly brawl or training session.

- Linking ability:
With his dreads Flower can link with another cybertronian or cybertronian technology and communicate through that. This includes but is not limited to hacking, manipulating of processor and body and finding of defects. He can cause a system crash or blind sensors or even take full control of the linked person's body. He can manipulate their thoughts and make them think they're something else and such things. However a skilled mind can defend itself and even reverse that effect and take full control of him while being linked. That will go a little bit like that, just inside their minds and not outside with holograms: youtu.be/CBiG8ywd_xI?t=612

Terrorcon:
His Terrorcon-infection gives him a boost to his strength, but it also costs control to keep himself from hurting those he cares about.
Flower's bite is actually 'harmless', except for the energon loss and wound it causes, it won't hurt (he's leaking a special liquid on the wounds his bite causes. This numbs that area, so the bite itself doesn't hurt) and he won't infect anyone else, unless there was an exchange of his own and his victim's energon. So it's possible for him to feed of other cybertronian safely, as long as he can stop before the energon loss is getting to a critical level. He prefers not to do that.
He got himself some kind of 'Health bar' on his back (inspired by the RIG from Dead Space), which allows a visual of his energon level. If it turns red you better turn around and run fast, because his energon is drained and the T-con takes over.

Mass change:
In order to save space while storing the huge mass of bodies produced during the project that created Flower all the frames were equipped with mass change devices, so Flower can change his size, but he only uses it to transform into his altmode

Can 'purr' with his engine?

Pre-War
None

During the War
Flower was created as M.T.O. and meant to be scrapped before he even came online. He was part of a decepticon experiment, a huge project, that in the end didn't pay off and way abandoned. A huge amount of frames were created by a scientist named Norfair. He was an expert for Sparks and tried to create a soldier that could collect and protect data easily. At first they were two created, one who collected and one who protected, but it was inefficient and so they tried to combine those. But the frames were too big, they needed too much energy to function and the Sparks couldn't provide the power to run said frames. Not even 15% came online. Flower was one of the other 85% who were already sorted out to be scrapped, but shortly before he was destroyed, something jumpstarted him. With such a high mortality rate Norfair and his team couldn't afford losing one more, but Norfair wasn't really happy about that. He was always right about who was sorted out and scraped, but now this one mech ruined his 100% perfect prediction. The scientist wanted him to be scrapped. This one error, that he couldn't get rid of.
Being that one mech that didn't stay offline Flower always had a hard time. Everyone was treated with more acceptance than he was, even though it was still little. Norfair's grudge spread like a virus between the other scientists and soon between most of the other M.T.O.s. Flower was treated like scrap, but he didn't care, he treated them with the same disgust. It was rare that someone got to see his actually softer side, the side of someone who wanted to please. All of them got a program that made them loyal to Megatron only, but the rare few that touched his Spark during that time earned themselves a part of this loyality. A femme, who was leading the project for the next Generation (another set of self-made, 'better' drones, smaller and faster than Flower and his 'siblings', so the Sparks didn't fail.) The problem was that those were programmed a bit different. Flower's generation showed signs of agressive paranoia, it wasn't rare that they offlined each other out of fear the other did manage to betray the program and turn against them or Megatron. Flower was no exception. But the femme he was starting to like managed to keep him under control a bit. But that didn't last long, Norfair found out and the femme left immediately. Flower wasn't worth the risk of messing with Norfair for her, who intimidated most people with his knowledge about Sparks and how to do worse things than offlining someone. Flower didn't take this loss well and was almost offlined. But then someone else, a medic, SilverGleam, who repaired him after Norfair shot him once, showed him something more than just interest. Affection. They became friends and soon even lovers. But again did Norfair find out, even though Flower thought he didn't. There had been countless of experiments, but the ones with a mech named Syringe were the worst. The medic used tiny drones to put others in stasis or inject them with whatever they had mixed up and wanted to test on them. Those drones looked like spiders and were attached to his face, making it appear as if he was bearded, just until they emerged from their place and got to work. Stasis was a risk for Flower's 'siblings', their Sparks couldn't handle it, and soon the fear spread between them, that every Stasis could be their last. Flower's lover knew about this and while he couldn't do anything against the Stasis experiments themselves, he tried to make everything else less horrible for Flower. It still was, but Flower knew, whatever his partner could do to him, it would be far worse if it was done by someone else. They managed to keep their relationship a secret for some time but eventually were found out.
However, Gleam was young compared to others, yet old compared to Flower. He had never seen the battlefield and so Norfair ordered him to get some experience, once he was sure Flower had some kind of feelings for this one. They kept in contact through commlinks but one day Gleam didn't answer Flower's call. After a while of horrible waiting, Flower's partner came back. In form of a dead body. He had died on the battlefield. His frame was barely recognisable. The softer person Flower had been to that time withdrew and only left an angry, hurting mech behind.
Flower, while becoming more violent, recovered with time. He didn't get over the loss, but found new lovers and lost them again. During this time the second Generation was finished, but they were even less reliable than the first one. The problems that the first generation had, like over-reacting processors, stasis-crashs, etc., were gone with the second, but that also was the problem, many of them betrayed the decepticon cause and joined the enemy. The loyality program didn't work on them anymore and so the project was stopped. It never came to a third generation. The ones that remained as decepticons, both first and second generation were used on the battlefield, their faster processors and linking abilitly used to evey little potencial that could be found. Many didn't survive this treatment, went either crazy or died like other drones. Flower didn't. He didn't give up. He made it out of the disposal in the last moment, there had to be something in this world for him.

After years Flower got seperated from Norfair and any other high ranked member of the project. He was picked up by others and thanks to his violence he quickly found a place as interrogator. He became good at this, finally having some kind of way where he was able to let out his aggression and frustration. There also was a brief encounter with the Decepticon Justice Devision where he tried to learn as much as possible. However it was brief and eventually he was on his own again. He was already good at interrogating and soon there weren't many that reached his level. Though, during all this time, Flower never set one foot on Cybertron itself. His battlefield was off planet, in space stations, on other planets and stars, nothing that could calm his anger. The interrogations were one thing, but he wanted to fight. And yet he only was allowed to fight when absolutely necessary, all he got was watching the fights from the memories he had to collect and deliver.
Then everyone fled and they were scattered through the stars. Also his 'siblings' of that project that created them and he followed their example, just to offline every single one of them in his paranoia that they could turn up and attack him now that they were more or less lose, both first and second Generation. One 'brother' fought furiously. Guillotine. He had a Sparkmate, who took care of his processor, so he didn't become paranoid or lose his mind. But Flower killed him without remorse as he did with any other of his kind. After a while he couldn't find anyone anymore. He was keeping one in Stasis for spare parts, later known as AshBlade.
Now Flower was lost to the stars. No one to talk to, no one for any kind of contact, just he alone, having to live with all the deaths he caused, now starting to haunt him in form of him hearing the voices of his victims. This went until he picked up one signal, Database's. A second generation femme that had escaped everyone, until now.
They eventually reached earth where both crashed. After wounding her and taking her T-cog Flower left Database behind since he was wounded so he had to try and find a safe place. While he tried to get some idea of this planet he walked right on a street and was hit by a VW Transporter. Yep that's how he became a hippie bus. He scanned the vehicle, got rid of it and transformed. He let the humans who owned the bus live as they would serve to keep his disguise as car. However they were injured and he didn't really have an idea about what to do with them, but since he was also injured from his crash his new horn was constanstly making noise (to his irritation) and they were found quickly.

✿ Relationships:
Accelerate - Conjunx Endura/Sparkmate
Flower absolutely adores Ace. The silver mech helped him through a very hard time and was always at Flower's side, ready to help and support him. That eventually lead to Flower starting to develop a crush on Ace, who was completely oblivious to that. Flower at first didn't realise it either, but once he felt that he wanted more than friendship, he tried to get into a relationship with Ace. Which wasn't easy, both mechs were already used to be close to each other and flirted for fun, so whenever Flower attempted anything like that Ace thought it was normal. This went so far that Flower didn't have many possibilities left. Since they both never experienced a human kiss because they had never tried it once they saw it on earth and because they had been joking about Flower having to kiss the first partner he gets, it was what Flower did. That scared Ace though and he ran away, needing Nyx to help him figure out what to do. To Flower's relief Ace wanted to try it with him. They became a couple and since then just grow closer together.
At some point when they were a couple for quite some time, Flower asked Ace if he wanted to become his Sparkmate. Which was answered with yes and they bonded. They are always together and don't shy away from showing their affection openly. In the rare occasion that they aren't in the same place, they will keep their commlinks constantly open for each other to always be able to contact the other.
They do have their differences and even argued very rarely, but they always get back together and love and adore each other even more.

✿ Mentions:

SilverGleam - deceased
Gleam was the first mech that Flower fell in love with. He was young, but still older than Flower and had a huge influence on Flower. Gleam tried to teach Flower about the Cirlce of Light, as he was a believer, just on the wrong side of the crowd because most of his friends where already there and the silver mech refused to leave them, even for what he believed into. Flower however wasn't much into religion, but still listened to it for his partner. During the experimental stage of the project that Flower was created for, it was Gleam who tried to make it easier for the big mech to endure, he took part in the experiments and even hurt Flower during those, but both were well aware of the fact that any other scientists or medics would hurt him worse. Gleam's OCD about keeping things, especially armor, clean made it easy to mask the care he put into Flower as medic (he treated many with the same care, but Flower got a 'bonus'), also making it easier to keep their relationship a secret. Gleam also had other partners for several reasons, he was into it and it kept his 'real' relationship to Flower disguised. But it was eventually found out and Gleam was sent into battle, which wasn't unusual, so at that point no one suspected anything. Flower kept contact through commlink as often as possible, but one day Gleam didn't reply, a day later he was brought in with several other dead bodies, heavily damaged and ready to be scrapped.
The big mech never really got over the death of his former partner and carries Gleam's sparkchamber, T-cog and brainmodule with him to eventually bring them back to cybertron. Until he met Ace.

Norfair
The one mech that Flower genuinely hates for all the cruelty he showed towards him. Norfair thought of Flower as some kind of mistake that needs to be erased, just because of the fact that Flower was online when he had already been meant to scrap. It started with subtle incidents, but soon Norfair didn't care anymore and openly tried to provoke Flower to have a reason to kill him. Norfair wasn't a good supervisor towards anyone that had a lower rank than him or didn't prove to have some valuable talents and no matter what Flower tried, he was never seen worth living. After a while of his attempts to provoke Flower he started ordering other to hurt him during their experiments, being way more painful than on any other of his subjects. Then Norfair started to target those close to Flower, friends and possible partners, but he only got what he wanted when he found out about Flower's love interest, SilverGleam. One day ordering the silver mech to a battle, placing him on the very front and giving orders to execute him should the enemy not do it before them, no matter how, but they had to make sure he was dead. The sheer sight of Flower finding Gleam's dead body, seeing him realise that his lover was dead and the mourning that followed, gave Norfair such a satisfaction that he stopped trying to kill Flower at that point, knowing that letting the blue mech live and experience the loss was way more painful than simply killing him. Flower found out it was Norfair's order and swore to kill everyone who took part in that battle, innocent or not, then going for Norfair. His anger drove him so far that he started to hunt down everyone who was part of the project, but he never managed to kill Norfair.
After the war he finally found the older mech, but now Norfair had joined Solitaire and taught her what he knew about sparks.

Syringe - deceased
One of the scientist of Norfair's project. And theone responsible for Flower's fear of bugs as it were his drones that usually did the torturing. They looked like Daddy Longlegs and were attatched to Syringe's face, giving him a 'beard'. He was loyal to Norfair, though he didn't approve of his personal hate towards Flower. To him they should have no personal relationships of any kind with their subjects. Syringe was only in for the science, he didn't care about anyone below his rank or the M.T.O.s they were creating, they were all replacable in his mind.
Flower found Syringe and killed him pretty soon when he went on his revenge trip and was disgusted when the older mech pathetically begged for his life. Flower used his linking ability to get more information about Nor and the project since Syringe was high in rank (which was also the first time that he found out that the linking could be used against him as well, but he managed to get the upper hand and the infromations he came for) and then killed him when he found out that it was him who had suggested sending Gleam to a battle to get rid of him, as he didn't approve of the relationship he had with Flower and that it had been going for quite a long time before they found out.

Onyx (Nyx)
Flower met Nyx the same time he met Ace. He quickly considered her a friend after she was first asking questions instead of just shooting him, when he tried to help Ace with his nightmares through linking. After he and Ace got hurt badly he ended up in their base and quickly adapted to a life there and at some point decided to stay.
At some point Nyx was caught and hurt by Solitaire, but brought back by Flower and Ace. Her human body was dying though and she was given a cybertronian frame to survive. During that time Flower was linked with Nyx as often and long as possible to keep her calm and connect her human mind with the cybertronian processor. It wasn't easy, but in the end they managed and brought Nyx back as one of them.
From then on she was searching for a place and helped Flower with his prostethics and mods, keeping him from getting too distracted, which included hitting him sometimes with her wrench. Overall they share a great friendship and enjoy hanging out.

Rougshod
Flower met Roughshod at the Nemesis. While helping and protecting Roughshod from a dark energon experiment Flower got infected with the terrorcon. They had to hide Flower and Roughshod often helped the big mech to keep controll or, if it was too late, bring him to a safe place where no one saw the terrorcon breaking out. Roughshod however was safe from the creature, since Flower managed to make the infection believe Roughshod was equal and keeping it safe.
They befriended each other quickly and got as close as brothers. This changed however when Roughshod was found out to be an Autobot spy. Flower was ordered to interrogate him and the close bond they were having, as well as the terrorcon's influence, caused some internal conflict with his loyality programming, breaking it in the end. Roughshod was able to escape, while Flower was staying behind to distract the ship. But destroying the loyality program broke Flower and he was easily found out and captured and interrogated himself. Later he was found by Roughshod again, who went looking for Flower now that the war was over and brought him back to the town where the smaller mech was living with others. But Flower couldn't look his friend in the eye anymore and left again, the guilt was too much. It cost Flower a lot of time to recover from that and he often had setbacks. He couldn't believe how Roughshod could so easily forgive what happened between them.

Cadmium
Actually hired by SilverGleam as pleasure bot for him and Flower, the big mech soon started to care for the smaller mech while Cadmium only was in for the money. Gleam however, when he was sent to his last battle, paid Cadmium to spent time with Flower and keep an eye on him, which Flower interpreted as an actual friendship. Eventually Cadmium started to warm up to Flower and enjoy his company to the point where he told Flower about how much he actually hated to be hired by clients and how some of them were abusive. When Gleam died Flower became violent and angry, while he never hurt Cadmium, the anger scared the smaller mech and when Flower returned with one of Cadmium's former abusive clients, the smaller mech couldn't handle it and left.
Later after the war they met again and Cadmium was relieved that Flower now changed to the better and got to trust the big guy, eventually revealing the truth to Flower about him having health issues and Flower promptly suggest that Cadmium moves to their base to live with him and his family.

Riften
Another one that earned Flower's hate. Riften was Ace's former mate and what he did to the silver mech, manipulating and using him, making Ace love him, to get to informations, angered Flower deeply. It was something he would have done when he was still a decepticon, but now everything about it disgusts Flower. When he picked up Riften's signal he thought he would make Ace happy by bringing him back so he could apologise to the silver mech. However, Riften wasn't very into that plan and so they were fighting, ending in Flower winning and bringing the other mech back to Ace. He thought Ace would like the gesture, but the opposite happened. Ace was shocked to see what Flower did to Riften and Flower was confused, being confronted with an upset Ace like this for the first time. It ended in them arguing and Flower stomping off, but not far enough to miss an attempt of Riften to win Ace back and use him again. Now knowing that it was no use to confront Ace with it, he went to Nyx and together they found out about Riften's real plans.

Many, many others I will add at some point

During the War
Flower was created as M.T.O. and meant to be scrapped before he even came online. He was part of a decepticon experiment, a huge project, that in the end didn't pay off and way abandoned. A huge amount of frames were created by a scientist named Norfair. He was an expert for Sparks and tried to create a soldier that could collect and protect data easily. At first they were two created, one who collected and one who protected, but it was inefficient and so they tried to combine those. But the frames were too big, they needed too much energy to function and the Sparks couldn't provide the power to run said frames. Not even 15% came online. Flower was one of the other 85% who were already sorted out to be scrapped, but shortly before he was destroyed, something jumpstarted him. With such a high mortality rate Norfair and his team couldn't afford losing one more, but Norfair wasn't really happy about that. He was always right about who was sorted out and scraped, but now this one mech ruined his 100% perfect prediction. The scientist wanted him to be scrapped. This one error, that he couldn't get rid of.

Norfair's grudge spread like a virus between the other scientists and soon between most of the other M.T.O.s. Flower was treated like scrap, but he didn't care, he treated them with the same disgust. It was rare that someone got to see his actually softer side, the side of someone who wanted to please. All of them got a program that made them loyal to Megatron only, but the rare few that touched his Spark during that time earned themselves a part of this loyality. A femme, who was leading the project for the next Generation (another set of self-made, 'better' drones, smaller and faster than Flower and his 'siblings', so the Sparks didn't fail.) The problem was that those were programmed a bit different. Flower's generation showed signs of agressive paranoia, it wasn't rare that they offlined each other out of fear the other did manage to betray the program and turn against them or Megatron. Flower was no exception. But the femme he was starting to like managed to keep him under control a bit. But that didn't last long, Norfair found out and the femme left immediately. Flower wasn't worth the risk of messing with Norfair for her, who intimidated most people with his knowledge about Sparks and how to do worse things than offlining someone. Flower didn't take this loss well and was almost offlined. But then someone else, a medic, SilverGleam, who repaired him after Norfair shot him once, showed him something more than just interest. Affection. They became friends and soon even lovers. But again did Norfair find out, even though Flower thought he didn't. There had been countless of experiments, but the ones with a mech named Syringe were the worst. The medic used tiny drones to put others in stasis or inject them with whatever they had mixed up and wanted to test on them. Those drones looked like spiders and were attached to his face, making it appear as if he was bearded, just until they emerged from their place and got to work. Stasis was a risk for Flower's 'siblings', their Sparks couldn't handle it, and soon the fear spread between them, that every Stasis could be their last. Flower's lover knew about this and while he couldn't do anything against the Stasis experiments themselves, he tried to make everything else less horrible for Flower. It still was, but Flower knew, whatever his partner could do to him, it would be far worse if it was done by someone else. They managed to keep their relationship a secret for some time but eventually were found out.
However, Gleam was young compared to others, yet old compared to Flower. He had never seen the battlefield and so Norfair ordered him to get some experience, once he was sure Flower had some kind of feelings for this one. They kept in contact through commlinks but one day Gleam didn't answer Flower's call. After a while of horrible waiting, Flower's partner came back. In form of a dead body. He had died on the battlefield. His frame was barely recognisable. The softer person Flower had been to that time withdrew and only left an angry, hurting mech behind.
Flower, while becoming more violent, recovered with time. He didn't get over the loss, but found new lovers and lost them again. During this time the second Generation was finished, but they were even less reliable than the first one. The problems that the first generation had, like over-reacting processors, stasis-crashs, etc., were gone with the second, but that also was the problem, many of them betrayed the decepticon cause and joined the enemy. The loyality program didn't work on them anymore and so the project was stopped. It never came to a third generation. The ones that remained as decepticons, both first and second generation were used on the battlefield, their faster processors and linking abilitly used to evey little potencial that could be found. Many didn't survive this treatment, went either crazy or died like other drones. Flower didn't. He didn't give up. He made it out of the disposal in the last moment, there had to be something in this world for him.

After years Flower got seperated from Norfair and any other high ranked member of the project. He was picked up by others and thanks to his violence he quickly found a place as interrogator. He became good at this, finally having some kind of way where he was able to let out his aggression and frustration. There also was a brief encounter with the Decepticon Justice Devision where he tried to learn as much as possible. However it was brief and eventually he was on his own again. He was already good at interrogating and soon there weren't many that reached his level. Though, during all this time, Flower never set one foot on Cybertron itself. His battlefield was off planet, in space stations, on other planets and stars, nothing that could calm his anger. The interrogations were one thing, but he wanted to fight. And yet he only was allowed to fight when absolutely necessary, all he got was watching the fights from the memories he had to collect and deliver.
Then everyone fled and they were scattered through the stars. Also his 'siblings' of that project that created them and he followed their example, just to offline every single one of them in his paranoia that they could turn up and attack him now that they were more or less lose, both first and second Generation. One 'brother' fought furiously. Guillotine. He had a Sparkmate, who took care of his processor, so he didn't become paranoid or lose his mind. But Flower killed him without remorse as he did with any other of his kind. After a while he couldn't find anyone anymore. He was keeping one in Stasis for spare parts, later known as AshBlade.
Now Flower was lost to the stars. No one to talk to, no one for any kind of contact, just he alone, having to live with all the deaths he caused, now starting to haunt him in form of him hearing the voices of his victims. This went until he picked up one signal, Database's. A second generation femme that had escaped everyone, until now.
They eventually reached earth where both crashed. After wounding her and taking her T-cog Flower left Database behind since he was wounded so he had to try and find a safe place. While he tried to get some idea of this planet he walked right on a street and was hit by a VW Transporter. Yep that's how he became a hippie bus. He scanned the vehicle, got rid of it and transformed. He let the humans who owned the bus live as they would serve to keep his disguise as car. However they were injured and he didn't really have an idea about what to do with them, but since he was also injured from his crash his new horn was constanstly making noise (to his irritation) and they were found quickly.

✿ Relationships:
Accelerate - Conjunx Endura/Sparkmate
Flower absolutely adores Ace. The silver mech helped him through a very hard time and was always at Flower's side, ready to help and support him. That eventually lead to Flower starting to develop a crush on Ace, who was completely oblivious to that. Flower at first didn't realise it either, but once he felt that he wanted more than friendship, he tried to get into a relationship with Ace. Which wasn't easy, both mechs were already used to be close to each other and flirted for fun, so whenever Flower attempted anything like that Ace thought it was normal. This went so far that Flower didn't have many possibilities left. Since they both never experienced a human kiss because they had never tried it once they saw it on earth and because they had been joking about Flower having to kiss the first partner he gets, it was what Flower did. That scared Ace though and he ran away, needing Nyx to help him figure out what to do. To Flower's relief Ace wanted to try it with him. They became a couple and since then just grow closer together.
At some point when they were a couple for quite some time, Flower asked Ace if he wanted to become his Sparkmate. Which was answered with yes and they bonded. They are always together and don't shy away from showing their affection openly. In the rare occasion that they aren't in the same place, they will keep their commlinks constantly open for each other to always be able to contact the other.
They do have their differences and even argued very rarely, but they always get back together and love and adore each other even more.

✿ Mentions:

SilverGleam - deceased
Gleam was the first mech that Flower fell in love with. He was young, but still older than Flower and had a huge influence on Flower. Gleam tried to teach Flower about the Cirlce of Light, as he was a believer, just on the wrong side of the crowd because most of his friends where already there and the silver mech refused to leave them, even for what he believed into. Flower however wasn't much into religion, but still listened to it for his partner. During the experimental stage of the project that Flower was created for, it was Gleam who tried to make it easier for the big mech to endure, he took part in the experiments and even hurt Flower during those, but both were well aware of the fact that any other scientists or medics would hurt him worse. Gleam's OCD about keeping things, especially armor, clean made it easy to mask the care he put into Flower as medic (he treated many with the same care, but Flower got a 'bonus'), also making it easier to keep their relationship a secret. Gleam also had other partners for several reasons, he was into it and it kept his 'real' relationship to Flower disguised. But it was eventually found out and Gleam was sent into battle, which wasn't unusual, so at that point no one suspected anything. Flower kept contact through commlink as often as possible, but one day Gleam didn't reply, a day later he was brought in with several other dead bodies, heavily damaged and ready to be scrapped.
The big mech never really got over the death of his former partner and carries Gleam's sparkchamber, T-cog and brainmodule with him to eventually bring them back to cybertron. Until he met Ace.

Norfair
The one mech that Flower genuinely hates for all the cruelty he showed towards him. Norfair thought of Flower as some kind of mistake that needs to be erased, just because of the fact that Flower was online when he had already been meant to scrap. It started with subtle incidents, but soon Norfair didn't care anymore and openly tried to provoke Flower to have a reason to kill him. Norfair wasn't a good supervisor towards anyone that had a lower rank than him or didn't prove to have some valuable talents and no matter what Flower tried, he was never seen worth living. After a while of his attempts to provoke Flower he started ordering other to hurt him during their experiments, being way more painful than on any other of his subjects. Then Norfair started to target those close to Flower, friends and possible partners, but he only got what he wanted when he found out about Flower's love interest, SilverGleam. One day ordering the silver mech to a battle, placing him on the very front and giving orders to execute him should the enemy not do it before them, no matter how, but they had to make sure he was dead. The sheer sight of Flower finding Gleam's dead body, seeing him realise that his lover was dead and the mourning that followed, gave Norfair such a satisfaction that he stopped trying to kill Flower at that point, knowing that letting the blue mech live and experience the loss was way more painful than simply killing him. Flower found out it was Norfair's order and swore to kill everyone who took part in that battle, innocent or not, then going for Norfair. His anger drove him so far that he started to hunt down everyone who was part of the project, but he never managed to kill Norfair.
After the war he finally found the older mech, but now Norfair had joined Solitaire and taught her what he knew about sparks.

Syringe - deceased
One of the scientist of Norfair's project. And theone responsible for Flower's fear of bugs as it were his drones that usually did the torturing. They looked like Daddy Longlegs and were attatched to Syringe's face, giving him a 'beard'. He was loyal to Norfair, though he didn't approve of his personal hate towards Flower. To him they should have no personal relationships of any kind with their subjects. Syringe was only in for the science, he didn't care about anyone below his rank or the M.T.O.s they were creating, they were all replacable in his mind.
Flower found Syringe and killed him pretty soon when he went on his revenge trip and was disgusted when the older mech pathetically begged for his life. Flower used his linking ability to get more information about Nor and the project since Syringe was high in rank (which was also the first time that he found out that the linking could be used against him as well, but he managed to get the upper hand and the infromations he came for) and then killed him when he found out that it was him who had suggested sending Gleam to a battle to get rid of him, as he didn't approve of the relationship he had with Flower and that it had been going for quite a long time before they found out.

Onyx (Nyx)
Flower met Nyx the same time he met Ace. He quickly considered her a friend after she was first asking questions instead of just shooting him, when he tried to help Ace with his nightmares through linking. After he and Ace got hurt badly he ended up in their base and quickly adapted to a life there and at some point decided to stay.
At some point Nyx was caught and hurt by Solitaire, but brought back by Flower and Ace. Her human body was dying though and she was given a cybertronian frame to survive. During that time Flower was linked with Nyx as often and long as possible to keep her calm and connect her human mind with the cybertronian processor. It wasn't easy, but in the end they managed and brought Nyx back as one of them.
From then on she was searching for a place and helped Flower with his prostethics and mods, keeping him from getting too distracted, which included hitting him sometimes with her wrench. Overall they share a great friendship and enjoy hanging out.

Rougshod
Flower met Roughshod at the Nemesis. While helping and protecting Roughshod from a dark energon experiment Flower got infected with the terrorcon. They had to hide Flower and Roughshod often helped the big mech to keep controll or, if it was too late, bring him to a safe place where no one saw the terrorcon breaking out. Roughshod however was safe from the creature, since Flower managed to make the infection believe Roughshod was equal and keeping it safe.
They befriended each other quickly and got as close as brothers. This changed however when Roughshod was found out to be an Autobot spy. Flower was ordered to interrogate him and the close bond they were having, as well as the terrorcon's influence, caused some internal conflict with his loyality programming, breaking it in the end. Roughshod was able to escape, while Flower was staying behind to distract the ship. But destroying the loyality program broke Flower and he was easily found out and captured and interrogated himself. Later he was found by Roughshod again, who went looking for Flower now that the war was over and brought him back to the town where the smaller mech was living with others. But Flower couldn't look his friend in the eye anymore and left again, the guilt was too much. It cost Flower a lot of time to recover from that and he often had setbacks. He couldn't believe how Roughshod could so easily forgive what happened between them.

Cadmium
Actually hired by SilverGleam as pleasure bot for him and Flower, the big mech soon started to care for the smaller mech while Cadmium only was in for the money. Gleam however, when he was sent to his last battle, paid Cadmium to spent time with Flower and keep an eye on him, which Flower interpreted as an actual friendship. Eventually Cadmium started to warm up to Flower and enjoy his company to the point where he told Flower about how much he actually hated to be hired by clients and how some of them were abusive. When Gleam died Flower became violent and angry, while he never hurt Cadmium, the anger scared the smaller mech and when Flower returned with one of Cadmium's former abusive clients, the smaller mech couldn't handle it and left.
Later after the war they met again and Cadmium was relieved that Flower now changed to the better and got to trust the big guy, eventually revealing the truth to Flower about him having health issues and Flower promptly suggest that Cadmium moves to their base to live with him and his family.

Riften
Another one that earned Flower's hate. Riften was Ace's former mate and what he did to the silver mech, manipulating and using him, making Ace love him, to get to informations, angered Flower deeply. It was something he would have done when he was still a decepticon, but now everything about it disgusts Flower. When he picked up Riften's signal he thought he would make Ace happy by bringing him back so he could apologise to the silver mech. However, Riften wasn't very into that plan and so they were fighting, ending in Flower winning and bringing the other mech back to Ace. He thought Ace would like the gesture, but the opposite happened. Ace was shocked to see what Flower did to Riften and Flower was confused, being confronted with an upset Ace like this for the first time. It ended in them arguing and Flower stomping off, but not far enough to miss an attempt of Riften to win Ace back and use him again. Now knowing that it was no use to confront Ace with it, he went to Nyx and together they found out about Riften's real plans.

Many, many others I will add at some point
