@decepticonsensual see, I was going to reply to this with ‘counterpoint: Whirl’, but y’know what. He’d let it happen. He’s that much of a shipper.
Ohhhh yeah. I think he’d not only let it happen, he’d grab anyone he saw about to interrupt by the neck and just hiss in their audial, “They. Are having. A MOMENT.”
It’s very relaxed up at the North Pole ever since the top demands for toys changed from handcrafted to mass produced. Most of the elves are in “qualify control” these days (very important to check those video games for violence, y’know), and Santa and Mrs. Claus are basically reindeer farmers most of the year.
Then, in late autumn, Santa checks his list.
He checks it twice.
He checks it a third time, and then he calls Mrs. Claus over to the computer, because clearly he’s messed something up and deleted something he shouldn’t have. Mrs. Claus waves him out of the chair, sits down, and starts checking the settings.
She goes very, very still.

I’m in desperate need of elaboration.
SO.
This was basically in answer to two questions JRo was asked on the Q&A tonight: “Who had more crushes on them, Rodimus or Getaway?” (Answer: Getaway) and, “Who was the hottest person on the Lost Light?” (Answer: Getaway, followed by Skids. “Those two were a very hot duo.”)
This delights me to no end.
And honestly, it fits pretty well with my mental image of Getaway: like Thunderclash, he’s more the classic “hero type” than Rodimus, at least on the surface. In a different type of narrative, he would be the Chosen One he imagines himself to be. It’s almost like he’s wandered into the wrong story.
Wonderful. I love it.
You know Getaway put some serious work into becoming that gorgeous. He’s got visible screws on the back of his head, he had to have been considered a brick of cheap parts when he started out.
Yesssss, I love the idea of Getaway as a self-made beauty – especially next to Skids, who, it’s implied, has always been gorgeous, always charismatic. Skids is the effortlessly stunning forged Outlier who sweeps people off their feet without meaning to; Getaway’s the MTO who had to sweat for every bit of that, and for whom it’s always a conscious thing. (Kind of like Prowl, who also basically had to learn how to use what he had to manipulate people.)
Copy and paste the following:
I understand. You found paradise in America, you had a good trade, you made a good living. The police protected you and there were courts of law. You didn’t need a friend like me. But, now you come to me, and you say: “Don Corleone, do you support this ship/kink?” But you don’t ask with respect. You don’t offer friendship. You don’t even think to call me Godfather. Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you ask me to get involved in your discourse.
Shoulda sent this to JRo before the live stream.
The mental image of JRo as a kind of robot mafia Godfather is both way too funny and way too accurate. 😀

So, I think the really important lesson that we all learned as a fandom community tonight was this:
Getaway was canonically the hottest crew member on the Lost Light.
#also the extrapolation that most people wouldve been down with a skids/getaway sandwich like #understandable tbh
YES, THIS!
Not that I would know anything about that particular feeling…
*whistles innocently*

Did you get to see “Rung’s ass compartment is not as capacious as people think”
OH MY GOD. 😀 I’m catching up now (bit by bit; technology hates me tonight and also I keep having to get up to do things to bread), but that is AMAZING and I look forward to it. I was already delighted enough by his response to the question about whether First Aid’s descriptions of Springer were so florid because Aid has a crush: “Was that First Aid, or was that me?… I mean, Springer’s pretty hot.”

Thanks to @scraplette, I fixed my video problems just in time to hear James Roberts call us all “inveterate shippers” and I could not be happier. 😀
