idc what happens in canon, as far as I’m concerned, there was just enough energy in the teleporter thingy for one more trip, Megatron takes it and proceeds to give Rodimus and Minimus a ten minutes long crushing hug because he was so terrified of losing them
…I am very invested in this right now whoops _(:3」∠)_
Megatron: Know why I called you in here?
Starscream: Because I accidentally sent you a dick pic.
Megatron: [stops pouring 2 glasses of wine] Accidentally?
Ok, so I think pretty much everybody and their Cassette has seen THAT scene (or at least the screenshots of THAT scene) from Transformers: Devastation. This one:
Soundwave: Plasma Energy also detected.
Starscream: But Plasma Energy is unstable.
Starscream: No Cybertronian has been able to tame it since… since… THE GOLDEN AGE!
Megatron: Then stand back, Starscream, and watch me tame it…
…as I have tamed you.
That one.
I just thought it was a pity nobody ever posted the sequel. LATER THAT DAY:
Megatron: What’s wrong with it?
Megatron: The Core is unstable.
Starscream: Unstable! Oh, you don’t say…
Drag him, Screamer. Paint “TOLD YOU SO” on his bucket.
that makes it 100000% better! you go Starscream!!!
totally random, but i started watching transformers prime on netflix (actually quite fun!) and like everyone is all “starscream you suck at leading, blah blah blah” but like, chain smoker seeker SIC StarScream totally lead the decepticons for like 3 slagging years?? while Megs was off on his space spiritual journey of procrastination??? and managed to not only continue successfully operating mining of a resource in numerous locations, but did it so well that the autobots literally thought the decepticons had left the planet??
like, how does someone manage to hide the fact that giant robots are going all over the world and sneaking around to loudly dig underground and keep it all from radar detection??? dude, starscream is the shit
so…that’s (apparently) something only conjunx endurae do.
and we have kind of a proof for that:
if that’s the case, i would like to direct your attention to this:
now, i’m not saying that proves anything. i’m just saying i’m really glad our huge gay mess of a co-captain finally has his husband back
James Roberts was asked in a Q&A on Twitter a while back what the relationship between Terminus and Megatron is, and he responded that Terminus was like a father figure to Megatron. Might not want to get your hopes up too much on seeing them as conjunx endurae.
Also sort of confirms that sharing energon isn’t something just conjunx endurae do.
So maybe it’s something Cybertronians only do with robots they’re really close to, regardless of the kind of relationship? Maybe it has something to do with transferring energy to a bot that is low on fuel/can’t intake energon on their own (remember how much of a physically weak state Terminus was in when we see Megatron doing this)? Just throwing around ideas.
So exchanging fuel is an act of caring, a type of love, but also rather intimate.
I never really realized how much the camera slowly pans over the backs, crotches, legs, etc of the Cybertronians in tfp. It’s like some sexy commercial omg.
