#rotb noah

It’s just like

Autobot: haha :) we’re friends now :)

Confused human: ????????

And I love the variation in reactions by said humans across the series. You get the ones that are naturally startled and cautious, the ones who just kinda roll with it, the ones who are completely on board with the whole alien car thing, and Sam.

I feel like he gets his own category.

It’ll be hard to top how they handled Noah’s introduction to the Autobots though. Probably my favorite.

Noah: *steals a car*

Car: *steals Noah*

Endless comedy. Like the one time he feels like he’s gotta resort to that and that happens.

because think about it. these are gargantuan robots surpassing our own technology by a country mile, to a degree that we wouldn't even be able to comprehend how they operate. they're smarter than us, stronger than us, and much, much larger than us - and they can blend in with our environment. and not just earth in general, but our cities, our safe spots, our hubs of humanity. they can just... be there. without you realizing.

imagine you're going through new york city or whatever and you see what look like f22s screaming through the sky, firing upon you for no reason. you initially think, "are we getting invaded?" but then you see a fleet of trucks with no drivers rushing down the road before they transform right before your eyes into thirty foot tall robots and begin firing at the f22s, which subsequently transform themselves and begin attacking the robots in front of you. don't tell me you wouldn't immediately panic because that shit's terrifying!

I think the Autobots should experience that with their human companions.

Made worse by the fact humans live on such a short time frame compared to Cybertronians.

Imagine an Autobot (Bee, Mirage, Arcee, etc) coming into base and seeing their human curled up on a sofa or chair or even the floor and creeping over to gently poke them.

They don’t respond, but it’s cute how soft and squishy humans are. So they lift their arm and watch it flop back down.

Okay…their human didn’t even twitch…okay-

They start gently shaking their human. Still no response.

Okayitstimetopanic-

They then fully grab their human and shake them like a snow globe and the human suddenly twitches to life, bleary eyed and discombobulated only to see their Autobot shaking with a mix of anger and relief over them.

“Wake up, DUMBAFT! Don’t scare me like that-!!”
