PART 5! Sideswipe seems cool with it! Not too sure about Strongarm though….

Classic memory loss 😔 what can ya do

And actually, i feel like sideswipe is one of the characters with the most potential when it comes to the character growth/arcs/fixes

Cause i think the thing that settles it for me is if you can envision where that character will be next, by themselves as an individual.

And frankly the show might’ve leaned a bit too much into ‘they’re a team!’ Sort of thing, instead of ‘they’re a bunch of individuals working together’, if that makes sense

Sideswipe, i can easily think of where he started (pretty lonesome and avoidant and reckless), to where he ended up (connected and eager to work and stronger intrapersonally). So since his main issue was how lonely he was thats probably why he’s got the “best growth/etc”, since technically it mainly involves working with ‘the team.tm’.

The other, frankly, are juuuuust a little too boring. Grimlock i feel like might be the worst (sorry my boy), but thats just cause they might’ve focused a bit too much on his destructiveness. So he started off destroying stuff and by the end he was helping stuff, cool but what kind of mech is going to be beyond that/ after the show… i dunno.

Strongarm had a little more, i liked where they were headed, but they kinda stopped. Cause IM SORRY JUST A COP AS HER FUTURE IS BORING TO ME IM SORRY.

Fixit i dont even remember he had a malfunction he doesnt remember and it aint that memorable to me. Drift also has a little for him but it mainly involves his minicons.

Like i know your meant to see ‘where they’ll end up’ as working on earth as a team, but surely that not all they’ll ever be right? They need a role, a goal, a lil something something something more, which helps the team dynamic stay interesting and fun and stuff

And IM RANTING BUT POINT IS, sideswipes annoying, but he doesn’t feel completely like a cringe headslam on the table kill me now kinda annoying, more like a you’re a lil cringe kinda annoying. A lil like how they made smokescreen be in tfp, except without the connection skills. but he fixes that a little by the end of the show so instead of being a lil cringe annoying he’s made it to ‘your trying annoying’ lmao

AH HAHA!! Happy you noticed that lmao— (part three)

And the dialogue! That is one of the hardest parts about writing, in my opinion. But you make it flow so well, even with Steeljaw’s lengthy monologue like what many villains tend to do. Idk much about your au, so when I found the comic I was very dropped in media res, but something definitely seems very personal between Steeljaw and Smokescreen with how Steel spoke.

“Hate. Let me tell you how much I’ve come to hate you since-” ahh 🐺 (affectionately)

Awww yayy!!!!! Im never certain if the expressions land correctly im happy to hear they turned out well!! (Escpecially during moments where there aint much action going on such as deranged mech monologues haha)

YAYYY!!!! You can probably tell im a beginner writer but that just means i appreciate the notice more! It’s so hard, especially when changing between characters who all think and speak way differently from each other, too much thinking to do for my wee little noggin haha.

Literally lmao, steeljaw going through…. something while smokescreen barely got a clue what he talking about

PART 4! WE MADE IT HOME!! Hurray!! End of the action..?

YEEESSSS!!!! KILL!

Unfortunately he is not dead.

AND I know, Arcee has already gone through a whole lotta arcs with her and she’s probably had some sort of closure in some way BUT

I think it would be fun for an another character arc between her and smokescreen, if they went on a mission, and she got all determined and went after arachnid, but this time (well technically as always) it to the downside of the rest of the team since she leaves them, which I think would be a good time for inserting smokescreen injury BECAUSE that would make her think specifically to him, and that her running away to some bigger action and forgetting the other action behind her (putting both Autobots at risk), was a similar action that smokescreen did with jack

it would force her to put herself in his shoes, and maybe give way to some forgiveness/whatever you call it to move to a better place in their relationship. maybe they take arachnid down together hurrah huzzay or something

PART 2! UH oh thats not good— wait what’s that?
