Strongarm (RiD)/Relationships

These are Strongarm's relationships.

Bumblebee
Bumblebee and Strongarm were partnered together on Cybertron for street patrol and eventually caught up with Sideswipe. The trio went to the Cybertron History Museum where they used a Groundbridge there to go to Earth. Bumblebee and Strongarm met with Fixit who informed them about the Alchemor crashing and releasing all of its prisoners.

When Grimlock was fighting Underbite, Strongarm told Bee that she was going to get the human clear. Bumblebee told Strongarm to scan for an Earth-based vehicle mode when the team was preparing to hunt down Underbite. Bumblebee and Strongarm used their new weapons against Underbite but their weapons quickly became dysfunctional. Strongarm went by Bee's side to block the bridge that leads to Crown City. When Underbite was placed in a stasis pod, Bumblebee places Grimlock on probation, despite Strongarm wanting to follow protocol.

In Trust Exercises, Bee stopped Sideswipe and Strongarm from fighting and told them that trust exercises were important. Later on, when Sideswipe and Strongarm informed Bee about Steeljaw, which Bee complimented on their teamwork.

In More than Meets the Eye, Bumblebee checked on Strongarm after she was punched by Chop Shop who was using Fixit as his replacement arm.

In Collect 'Em All, Bumblebee checked in on Strongarm and gave her some advice on being on Earth. After Filch was captured, Bumblebee complimented Strongarm for breaking protocol for a good reason.

In True Colors, Bumblebee, Strongarm and Sideswipe were harmlessly fighting each other to get Minitron.

In Rumble in the Jungle, Bumblebee follows Strongarm despite it was her first solo mission. When Strongarm expressed her concern in him not trusting her, Bee agreed to let her leave on her mission. However, Strongarm finds that Bumblebee was following her again, only this time he wants to be as an observer. On the pursuit of Springload, Strongarm's left hand was burned when she touched Springload's shoulder. Bee examined her hand and they both escaped from the collapsing room. When Strongarm told him that she lied to Fixit about capturing the Decepticon so that the team doesn't have to come, Bumblebee was disappointed that Strongarm lied. However, Strongarm made up for it by imitating a ghost voice so that Springload could fall for it. This allowed Bumblebee to sneak up behind Springload and knock him into a casket. Bumblebee places his hand on Strongarm's shoulder and praised Strongarm that she did well on her first solo mission. In the ending of Battlegrounds, Part 2, Strongarm decides to stay on Bumblebee's team.

In Overloaded, Part 2, Strongarm promises to make Bumblebee proud by working with her team to capture Decepticons.

Bumblebee respects and cares for Strongarm. While he feels she is too inexperienced, Bumblebee helps Strongarm whenever she is impaired. Bumblebee also acts like a role model and an adult figure to Strongarm.

Sideswipe
Strongarm was eager to catch Sideswipe and place him in cuffs in Pilot (Part 1). Strongarm managed to capture Sideswipe and Sideswipe was forced to follow her and Bumblebee to Earth.

In Pilot (Part 2), Strongarm ordered Sideswipe (under the assumption that she was his superior) to move some equipment around and Sideswipe refused.

In Trust Exercises, Sideswipe and Strongarm both failed to catch each other in their trust exercise test. The pair began to fight until Bumblebee broke it up. When they were paired to capture decepticons, Sideswipe ditched Strongarm and told her that he will comm her if he needed something. When Strongarm was captured by Steeljaw, Sideswipe and Russell rescued her. Back at base, Bumblebee complimented their teamwork and Sideswipe felt unappreciated when Strongarm thanked Russell and not him. Strongarm caught Sideswipe when he slipped on some mud.

She thanked him and told him to not get cocky.

In W.W.O.D.?, Sideswipe gave Strongarm a wet willy in one of her audio receptors and Strongarm tackled him to the ground until Bee broke it up.

In As the Kospego Commands!, Strongarm was shocked and pointed on Sideswipe when Bee ordered her to carry Grimlock back to base instead of telling Sideswipe, since he left Grimlock alone to get attacked by Thunderhoof.

In Collect 'Em All, Sideswipe notes that Strongarm has been hitting the rule book too hard while Strongarm needed some space. In the end, Strongarm was telling Bumblebee about realizing that Bee, Grimlock, Fixit and even Sideswipe are her ties to Cybertron more than any rule book.

In Can You Dig It?, Strongarm teased Sideswipe about finding a role model like Jazz.

In Hunting Season, Sideswipe seemed to be offensive for Strongarm when Drift gave negative feedbacks to Bee's team.

In Out of Focus, Sideswipe and Strongarm continued their fighting until they worked together to bring down the Skunkticons.

In Sideways, Sideswipe found Strongarm sneaking back into the base and offered to keep her secret if she did anything he would think of. In the end, Strongarm stood for herself until Bumblebee told them that he knew Strongarm was sneaking out and Bee places Sideswipe on extra patrol shifts.

In Even Robots Have Nightmares, Strongarm revealed Sideswipe's fear of shivering in light traffic.

In Some Body, Any Body, Strongarm revealed that she finds Sideswipe's laugh to be incredibly annoying. Strongarm was alarmed to see Sideswipe's head in a container and carried Sideswipe. She caught Sideswipe when Grimlock passed the jar to her during the fight with Vertebreak who was using Sideswipe's body. After Fixit repaired Sideswipe's head to his body, Sideswipe whispers to himself about Strongarm. Strongarm hears and gets closer to Sideswipe to ask what he said. Sideswipe revealed it was a prank and soon she challenged him to a race back to the scrapyard, where Sideswipe automatically lost when he could not transform.

In Deep Trouble, Sideswipe and Strongarm crossed the finish line in a training exercise in the scrapyard. The pair argued over who won first and even on a mission to capture Octopunch under the sea that Sideswipe mentions that he won the race. Strongarm disagreed and followed Sideswipe as he led the team away from getting blasted by the ship that Octopunch was controlling. Sideswipe gets complimented by Bee and then tells Strongarm that she deserves to eat a nice bowl of "I told you so".

In The Champ, Sideswipe and Strongarm helped each other in carrying a large stasis pod until they were both knocked down by a loose pod.

In The Buzz on Windblade, Strongarm seemed very envious towards Windblade, even with Sideswipe appealing to her. When she referred to Windblade as "Windbag" to Sideswipe, Sideswipe had appealed more to Windblade than before by calling her awesome, which Strongarm folded her arms in an envious pout. However, when Strongarm and Windblade reconciled in the end, Sideswipe had complimented Strongarm on her plan in taking down Zizza, which left Strongarm to be curious if she just heard a genuine compliment from him.

In Ghosts and Impostors, Sideswipe stated and questioned to Strongarm that he looks good when Pseudo, who had physically transformed himself to look like Sideswipe, was doing some of Sideswipe's quick moving abilities. Strongarm looked irritated and pushed Sideswipe to the side.

In Battlegrounds, Part 1, Strongarm tagged Sideswipe to the ground in their training exercise. Strongarm tried to give Sideswipe some advice on his running and tried to help him up but he rejected her offer then he tagged her back before running in anger.

In Battlegrounds, Part 2, when the team decided to remain on Bumblebee's team, Sideswipe and Strongarm reconciled as Sideswipe stated "someone needs to keep Strongarm in line" in a playful and friendship manner.

In Metal Meltdown, Strongarm somewhat misses working with Sideswipe since they were split into different teams.

In Decepticon Island (Part 2), Sideswipe and Strongarm seem to have settled their past differences through their interaction in a well trusted and caring friendship.

Sideswipe and Strongarm pick fights and argue with one another at times like children (much to Bumblebee's chagrin). While Sideswipe would not agree with Strongarm on most things in a situation, he would often follow along or help however he could. Sideswipe, at least for the most part, does respect and care about Strongarm. It remains unknown if he has secret feelings for her as well. He remains as Strongarm's close comrade and teammate.

Fixit
Fixit met up with Strongarm in Pilot (Part 1) where he informed her and Bee about the escaped criminals from the Alchemor. Strongarm questioned him about how many Decepticons escaped and he stated it was about a couple of hundred.

In More than Meets the Eye, Strongarm drove Fixit, who was in disguise and Denny Clay to stop Chop Shop. Strongarm was impressed at Fixit for taking down Chop Shop.

In Suspended, Fixit took part in helping Strongarm not feel demoralized after she made a mistake in the field and even though their attempts to make her feel better did not go well, she eventually got back in action much to Fixit and everyone's thrills.

Strongarm cares and respects Fixit as a friend and teammate, which Fixit does the same for her as well.

Russell Clay
Strongarm met Russell in Pilot (Part 1) where Russell was riding inside Sideswipe until they met up with Bumblebee and Strongarm. Strongarm was interested in seeing her first human as she began to gently poke Russell's face.

In Pilot (Part 2), Strongarm chased after Russell through the scrapyard to get him clear of Grimlock and Underbite's fight.

In Trust Exercises, Strongarm was captured by Steeljaw and quietly told Russell to get out as he tried to rescue her while Sideswipe distracted Steeljaw. When the trio returned to base, Strongarm thanked Russell for saving her spark.

In True Colors, when she is about to fight a Minitron controlled Grimlock, Strongarm orders Fixit to get Russell inside the command center.

In Adventures in Bumblebee-Sitting!, Strongarm reassures Russell, telling him that Bumblebee will be okay.

In Even Robots Have Nightmares, Strongarm, Grimlock and Sideswipe are bemused by the fact that Russell cannot be scared, and pull a prank on him in an attempt to scare him to no avail.

In Battlegrounds, Part 2, Strongarm is impressed with Russell, and how he and Denny managed to defeat Fracture and his Mini-Cons.

Russell and Strongarm rarely interact. However, they both care, respect and protect each other as friends.

Denny Clay
"Are you alright human Denny?"

- Strongarm to Denny. Strongarm and Denny rarely interact. Strongarm met Denny in Pilot (Part 2) where she asked him if he was okay and referred to him as "human Denny." Strongarm would sometimes destroy some things in the scrapyard that would shock Denny. However, he does scold her in doing so but rather grieves over it.

In Suspended, while Strongarm did unintentionally destroy some of Denny's gnomes, he noticed her distress after she made a mistake in the field. He advises and helps Bumblebee in encourage Strongarm from being demoralized. Eventually after Strongarm was left to help humans escape from a forest fire, Denny and Fixit was thrilled that she was willing to do so.

Denny respects and cares for Strongarm. In return, Strongarm protects and cares for Denny like she does with Russell and the rest of her team.

Grimlock
Strongarm was initially extremely distrustful of Grimlock, due to his history of being a prisoner. They seemed to get along well in missions and as teammates.

There relationship was almost severed completely in True Colors, when Grimlock attacks her, Bumblebee, and Sideswipe, which made Strongarm felt betrayed for falling for the "innocent T-rex routine". When Strongarm discovered that he was actually being controlled by Minitron, she apologizes for her antagonistic behavior to him, which Grimlock understands and says she was only doing her job.

In Can You Dig It?, Grimlock caught Strongarm as she fell back in the hole that the Autobots were trapped in.

In Metal Meltdown, Grimlock and Strongarm began training together though Grimlock ended up destroying the training course Strongarm had placed for them. She was rather unhappy to not work on the same level of teamwork as she did with Sideswipe even when during the Autobot's first attempt to capture Saberhorn. However, Grimlock and Strongarm were able to work together saving Bumblebee and Russell. Grimlock had thrown Saberhorn through a wall which allowed him to escape although Strongarm stated to Grimlock that he shouldn't worry as she made mistakes with Sideswipe and promised that they will capture Saberhorn.

In Brainpower, Grimlock felt useless when he thought about Bumblebee and Strongarm excluding him from strategic plans. However, after he helped capture Simacore and his Mini-Cons, Strongarm praised Grimlock. Grimlock respects, cares, protects, and looks up to Strongarm as a teammate and friend.

Their friendship is very similar to Bulkhead and Arcee's friendship.

Optimus Prime
Strongarm is shown to have a high respect for Optimus. She is enraged when Sideswipe creates skid marks around the statue of Optimus.

In Pilot (Part 2), when Optimus made an appearance to Bee and his team, Strongarm stood respectively before him and bowed to him.

Drift
In Hunting Season, Drift was appalled at Bumblebee's team including Strongarm who he felt was an inexperience officer. When Drift was about to leave, Strongarm asked if he was going to collect the bounty on Bumblebee which she seemed to not allow it. Drift did not collect the bounty on Bumblebee and left Earth with his mini-cons.

In One of Our Mini-Cons Is Missing, Strongarm seemed to welcome both Drift and his mini-cons back to Earth and as their new team members.

In Lockout, Strongarm backed up Drift with the other Autobots when Drift was facing Fracture one to one.

Drift respects Strongarm and seems to be like another adult figure to her.

Slipstream and Jetstorm
While they barely interact, both Slipstream and Jetstorm seem to look up to Strongarm as a role model and friend, since they are both younger than her.

Windblade
In The Buzz on Windblade, at first Strongarm was not impressed by Windblade's sudden appearance, being nicknamed Skepti-bot and even questioned her on her motives, to which Windblade responded by stating Primus sent her to Earth. Strongarm seemed to be envious towards Windblade through their mission to bring in Zizza and prevent her human slaves from hurting themselves or other non-controlled humans. Strongarm also seemed to be envious in Windblade and Sideswipe's sudden friendship. When Zizza threatened to kill two of her human slaves, Strongarm prevented Windblade from attacking Zizza by tripping her and later explained to Windblade that they need to save all human lives. Eventually, Strongarm was backed up by Windblade and Sideswipe in bringing down Zizza. Before Windblade left the base, she reconciled with Strongarm and informed her that she was right about no other alternative in saving those humans. Windblade and Strongarm shake each other's hands as a sign of new trust, respect, care, and friendship growing between them.

In Battlegrounds, Part 1, Windblade asked Strongarm if she was okay after they and Sideswipe were captured by Steeljaw's pack, which Strongarm responded by stating "other than the constant ringing in my audio sensors, I'm fine."

In Battlegrounds, Part 2, Strongarm and Windblade complimented Russell, Denny, and Fixit for "taking down" Fracture.

In Decepticon Island (Part 1), Windblade reveals to Strongarm that she was thinking of combat moves they could work on together.

Underbite
Underbite is one of Strongarm's enemies.

In Pilot (Part 2), Strongarm was chased with Bumblebee by Underbite through the scrapyard and backed up Bumblebee on a bridge that connected to Crown City in order to prevent Underbite from going to the city to devour its metal surroundings.

In True Colors, Strongarm was displeased that Steeljaw managed to get Minitron to control Grimlock to steal Underbite's stasis pod and free Underbite from it to add to Steeljaw's gang.

In Lockout, Strongarm used her Decepticon hunter to hit Underbite in the stomach before he could consume metal, which he was swiftly taken down.

In Battlegrounds, Part 1, Underbite chased Strongarm through the woods into a trap that was set by Fracture's mini-cons.

Steeljaw
Strongarm seems to have a deep dislike towards Steeljaw and he remains one of her top enemies.

In Trust Exercises, Steeljaw attempted to trick Strongarm into believing he was an a guard aboard the Achlemor but Strongarm saw through him and was taken down by him as she was chained up by him. Steeljaw tried to convince Strongarm he only wanted to live in peace with other Decepticons who feel the same way. He also tried to get her to reveal where the scrapyard was but Strongarm asked if it was a trick, to which the sudden appearance of a Decepticon named "Grimbee" cuts their conversation. Sideswipe had to engage Steeljaw as Russell attempted to unchain Strongarm from her restraints but failed as Steeljaw heard him but he walked away before Steeljaw could get him. Sideswipe and Steeljaw engage each other and Sideswipe soon led Steeljaw to Strongarm who promptly kicks him into a tree unconscious. When Strongarm saved Russell from the collapsing that Steeljaw was knocked into, Steeljaw escaped in the process.

In Misdirection, after Steeljaw managed to free some of the Decepticon prisoners, Strongarm came to the scrapyard and faced Steeljaw in a little scuffle which she ended up saving Russell, Fixit, and Denny from being crushed in Steeljaw's force field but could not prevent Steeljaw from escaping.
