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?

What made you like about Smokescreen? (or even love about him) What made him your favourite?

Why/What do you like him for?

Oh boy this might be a longer post 🫪

OK OK 1.

Surprisingly, i started loving smokescreen after hating him. In his introduction, I felt like the rest of the team prime crew, just “roll your eyes” “omg he’s so cringe your honour”

But then what made me love him I think is how he deferred from most other characters that fit that description, which is that he makes up for it. It became “your honour he’s cringe but god damn get that mech on the field”.

Usually most characters in the cringe category just stay as that comic relief type character with nothing more to them, but his actions overpowered his words is the best way i can put it.

I’d say this also goes for G1, which was the only other TF generation I’ve seen with him in it (although the idk stuff also makes him look good)

2. I think what solidified him as a top character for me was his Arcs, cause AOUGH i swear every arc he was part of were my favourites.

The keys, the mountain, the finale AUGH.

I think his quips also got better as it went along, or was just cheering him on hard enough by that point that i didn’t even notice they were the same lmao

3. I love his development, i love his flashy-ness, i love his confidence and skills, i love his complexity just MUAH MUAH chefs kiss

His determination makes me want to see where he’ll end up, and he’s still got a lot to go/learn in life which means i got a lot of possible things to think about for him. Like the other characters have possibility to think about but for him it’s like 10x that.

Actually, speaking of complexity and comparison, most of the other autobot mechs of team prime are complex because you see them as serious people, but theres actually a whole lot more and they got their own lights inside, mostly. For smokescreen I think it’s mostly the opposite, where you see him as a happy light of life guy, but theres actually a while lot more and they got their own seriousness.

I feel like thats a whole other conversation tho so i might just leave that for another day 🤷
