One of my absolute favorite things about lost light #25 is how almost everyone had a major shift in life – either lost a loved one, published their life work, fallen ill, etc…

And then you have Tailgate and Cyclonus, blissfully unaware of ANY of this, just dropping from off-world…

Like, you can’t convince me that they didn’t spend the last however many ages have passed on the world’s longest and sappiest honeymoon. 

And then immediately upon their return to reunite with old friends at a funeral they repay the mess of a mech that got them together in the first place by basically adopting him as soon as they find out he isn’t coping very well.

just. So Iconic.

If Rung was going to be forgotten, he should’ve been allowed to realize and make peace with that. Having everyone forget him after he writes

into his sacrifice

a grand plea to be remembered is pointlessly cruel and jarring.

So here’s a thought.

Drift only calls Ratchet “Ratty” as a joke.

When he steps into the door of the home they built, singing “Ratty I’m home!”…Drift knows he’s about to get a blur of red and white rushing at him, spewing threats of bodily harm and “You little punk!”

All while Ratchet is glowing with fondness (and probably embarrassment too)

He calls him “Ratty” when rough days swing around. When Ratchet thinks too long on lives he failed to save, or friends he won’t see again. A quick “looking pretty crabby Ratty” is all it takes to initiate their “hit Drift with a wrench” game.

Ratchet usually wins, but making him laugh afterwards-having Ratchet kiss his brow and call him an idiot (“his idiot”) It’s worth losing.

So Drift calls him “Ratty” when he needs to hear his voice, or break Ratchet from a mood…calls him “Ratty” because every time he does Ratchet always chases him down until they’re both laughing and wrapped up in each other. The safest place to be.

Drift calls him “Ratty” at the funeral, and is only partially surprised when he doesn’t reply.

Prowl: Megatron, we’re going to take you to trial, at the results of which you’ll probably be executed.

Megatron: Rodimus, it’s ok. he is right. I will, of course, I comply.

Prowl: Oh and also we need to take the engines of the Lost Light.

Megatron:

I AM NOT READY!!!

I just got back home from work and found out lost light #25 came out already so I got it and on one hand I can’t wait to read it but I also …don’t want to??? Like I know that once I read it it’ll all really be over😞

I’m not ready to say goodbye yet…
