That look Arcee gives Smokescreen when he reveals his new paint job…

There’s a lot hidden inside that look and oddly for me, none of it romantic

#i’ve been trying to read that look #seems mostly like pity #and something else 

I agree.

For all her complaining about Smokescreen and her justifiably aggressive attitude towards him, I get the feeling that Arcee really does understand this kid… probably a lot better than he understands himself. Heck, she wouldn’t have given him such a hard time if she didn’t like him, after-all she was trying to get him up to speed with the rest of the team and teach him some self-preservation. When Smokescreen did a good job, like retrieving the Omega Keys and escaping capture in “Inside Job”, she told him so. Arcee understood why Smokescreen behaved the way he did and where his attitude came from, but she knew it had to be curbed because such childishness was a hindrance to their war-efforts.

So, when Smokescreen peels into the base with a new coat of paint… a color that suspiciously resembles her own… she can see right through him, through the gears and cogs of his mind into why he did this and what he’s thinking. She doesn’t praise him. She doesn’t scold him. She doesn’t question him… She just gives him this look…

Will I swear man, you came up with some of the sickest moves in this season. bastard =D

Could NOT have completed that episode without you, JJ and Carli helping with the cleanup and revisions.

Also, I just watched the episode. SO happy they cut out some of the horrible Smokescreen puns. “The waves keep coming!”

#I wouldn’t have minded the puns

Same here

I don’t know if I’ve talked about this before all that much, but I really like the character of Special Agent William Fowler.

Here’s a man who once had a proud history with the US military, but upon entering his twilight years and starting to soften up around the edges, he gets saddled with a group of monstrous, mechanical aliens. These beings, with the exception of Optimus, are hostile and condescending to him initially. Bulkhead even physically threatens Fowler, who has no means of defending himself against such force, at some points and Fowler’s still expected to independently keep them out of the public eye all while wrangling their very open conflicts with the Decepticons.

Yet in spite of all this… Fowler never gives up the location of the Autobot base, even when under extremely painful torture via Starscream. He slowly builds a greater level of trust and friendship with Optimus Prime over the first half of S1. In S2, he bonds with Bulkhead (remember, the ‘Bot who initially wanted to leave Fowler for dead) through their shared past of being soldiers and inspires Bulkhead to come home even after extensive injury and poisoning. Though vocal in his complaints, he never stops trying to protect the Autobots from retaliation or eviction by the US government. He never lets his size, age, or limited abilities prevent him from doing his job and helping his comrades (see him standing up to Wheeljack and confronting Silas). And even when it seems like Optimus Prime is dead, an entire city has been leveled by the Decepticons, and Megatron has other major American cities in his cross-hairs; Fowler keeps a firm upper lip and does his best to verbally negotiate with the mad king Megatron has become.

I find William Fowler to be a really great, interesting, and inspiring character. There is infinitely more to him than a great celebrity voice and random jokes. He is strong, he is loyal, he is dynamic, and by god is he brave. He is the human ally the Autobots both deserve and need.

I know it’ll be… quite a long one, but is there a chance you could make the sequence of Soundwave’s epic story in the Transformers Cartoon into a gifset? :D Thank you!

I think this is what you wanted? I hope it is. :3

I always liked this bit…
