[primus-why]

I really love the headcanon that, to tfa warbuilds, challenging an authority figure can also be seen as flirting.

I especially love to imagine Optimus' crew having to temporarily team up with Megatron to take down a threat, and as the leaders continue to butt heads over tactics/protocol, all the 'Bots are like "omg so scary poor Optimus 😣" while the 'Cons are like "omg get a room already 🙄"

#megop #tfa #like i wanna see Megs confront OP in a hallway and they get into a verbal spat #Ratchet is looking on warily until Strika comes up and says something like ''heh. young love amiright?'' #which prompts a convo about Decepticon culture #later Ratch is talking to OP privately like ''there's no right or wrong answere here... but...... do you uh. have an Interest in someone?'' #''possibly someone on this very ship?'' #and OP is like ''??? um??? not any serious interest if that's what you mean??? why???'' #and Ratch is like ''oh no reason! but that's good! yup its all good. dont worry about it.'' #but then another argument ensues and Ratch watches closely and he finally comes to the conclusion that Megs Definitely wants to frag #and OP.......... doesn't seem all that aware of that fact. #so he has to lay it out for him the next night #cue Op panicking because ''holy shit me??? the Leader of the cons wants to frag ME????? why??'' #''we've been nothing but antagonistic this whole time! i would have thought he hated me!'' #ratch: ''according to strika if he'd hated you he would have squashed you like a beetle by now if that's of any help.'' #''not really but thanks ratchet''
