That looks like it was probably one of my unnecessarily large cursed panel screencaps. Now only Awkward Pose Storm can properly express my feelings: Spoiler I volunteer as tribute.
upon reflection that textpost really would suit TFP Starscream better, he was the one who was 99% salt

Spoiler They're not actually beastformers, the design team just went with the idea that root modes don't always have to be humanoid, I think. I'm later in season 1 than you and I can think of... only a few villains of the week that actually transform into animals as their alt-mode. It's kind of a cool design decision!
Spoiler: s1e7 "The Bee Team" oh my god please tell me this child never shows up again look it can be a high-speed chase and rule-abiding OH MY GOD IS SHE GONNA KIDNAP SIDESWIPE SHE IS OH MY GOD SIDESWIPE and that is how we use transformation momentum bless bee he's so good with people when he's not trying to be optimus baby wait, this is supposed to be nevada since when but if you move to crown city you lose your robot buddies :c oh it's the first time someone's been thrown off a bridge <3 ratchet would be proud how are you playing sudoku on a fliphone dude fixit no PUNCH A BIRD IN THE FACE time for bird rodeo Oooh neat!

Spoiler: LL10 preview Getaway is so friendly and unconcerned about where Rodimus is, because he thinks he kept the others safe That hug is so awkward, but it feels so sincere. Getaway is so happy to see First Aid and isn't acting shifty at all yet, even though I have no doubt he can switch into shifty on the turn of a dime Getaway has no clue yet that Skids died!! Or that he died while suffering. (you know what, Nautica got on-screen conversation time with Getaway that wasn't much less than some of the other people she pale-married. If he'd stuck around, I wonder how deep he would have gotten in with her, emotionally. I have some Feelings about him being very bad at people, and that shifting into manipulation very, very easily, but also having some very sincere emotions he's awful at expressing) Mirage is getting characterization!!! THANK!!!!! Oh my goodness, so many PEOPLE I don't know how to love yet!! Give me all the characterization. But especially, give me Getaway receiving the goodbye messages from the marooned bots. Gimme gimme gimme. Ohhhhhh, give me Getaway finding out that Skids is dead also while getting hit in the face with Nautica's complete loss of emotions for Skids. I want this. I want it so bad. I want it bad enough I kind of want to find a way to write them both being unhealthy together, but I don't even know where I'd start. But this is interesting.
