the amount of RAW tension in that scene was INSANE they were mere moments away from making out you could tell. I fully believe they are exes and dated before the war of the threefold spark but because (1) they had to focus on the war and (2) they both had different methods on the approach of the war and their tactics they mutually decided it was best if they broke up but before? they were definitely cybertrons power couple. Everyone wanted them. Everyone wanted to be them.

They both present an image to everyone- strong, ruthless generals but with each other? They can be themselves without the worry of how they're going to appear

You KNOW some shit was gonna pop off they haven't seen each other since before pyra was imprisoned and they had broken up. Now they're on opposing sides- something that just further cements why they broke up but yk what? they can be civil, they know how to talk and interact with each other. They're gonna be cunt4cunt but at least they're serving

Pyras smirk she's teasing strika and they both know it. They know each other so well and I wish they're relationship could've been explored more </3. You can tell from this brief interaction how well they know each other and what they expected the other to do from this meeting. They don't want to be on opposite sides, but they've choosen and both have strong morals they're not gonna give up on them (a major reason why they broke up)

Strika finds the bot amusing. She would never cheat on Lugnut but that doesn't mean she does not find it funny to watch how this arrogant con turns into a lovestruck fool around her, brought low by sheer awe of her might. It's flattering, in a way. Still, as previously mentioned, she would never actually return those feelings.

If the con gets a bit too flirty, Strika will put him in his place, be it verbally or physically. He's useful to the cause though so she won't hurt him too bad.

Meanwhile, the con and Lugnut have a fierce rivalry going on. They both hate each other so, so much and only Strika or lord Megatron himself can keep them from going at each others throats. They will spit scathing insults at each other if forced to 'get along'.
