the Z is a birth mark

Its like a get your own fighting space contract with humans, i imagined there would be designated fighting areas around the world a Autobot would be incentivized to take an aggressive Decepticon to. When arriving different news channels would bring in like drones or something to fight over who gets to cover the fight, so then you get 2 robot fights at once.

The sponsors would be like a get out of jail free card if shit goes wrong for a bot, Drift pissed on a memorial statue? He gets out of captivity scot free cause he's sponsored by Nintendo and no one's fucking with Nintendo.

I imagine these sponsors would also create some sort of problems with fine print n all. Optimus doesn't read a contract fully that mentions using his likeness in their own robot manufacturing? Boom Nemesis Prime plot. Arcee keeps giving her likeness out willy-nilly cause she likes the free figures she gets from it? Uh oh now they have the rights to use the blueprints of her body to make Nightbird.

I actually imagine after all the contract problems that's when Aileron would have to come down to actually read all the stuff, not cause she's the best but because she's the only one mildly willing whose absence on the front lines wouldn't affect anything.
