Listen. Okay? I’m gonna go on a rant. I thought that gif was faked or edited so it wasn’t actually that shippy? But I watched the episode and HOLY CRAP, there is so much tension in that ONE SCENE?? And that ridiculous, suggestive eyebrow-raise– Wheeljack does that right after saying “I recalibrated your engines, you should expect a 10% increase in vector thrust”. (Or something like that.) That stupid suggestive winky-esque thing after that stupidly innuendo-like comment? And Magnus’ reaction? GAHH.
Conclusion? Wheeljack was definitely attracted to UM before the whole “let’s get over our differences” thing, and he decided that the best thing to do was fix his ship, walk up to him covered in lubricants, and make a blunt flirty comment at his by-the-book commander.
ratchet’s excited face when he hears Wheeljack’s voice in “darkest hour”…😍
