happy new year, everybody!
sometimes I think, "have I gone too far in my Transformers ship fever, am I so hingeless now that I'm just seeing things everywhere"
and then I see a G1 episode where Optimus holds Megatron in a bridal carry while he transforms into gun mode (so that Optimus can slot something inside his barrel and start blasting away, natch)
and I just stare directly at the camera
(of note, Megatron doesn't get bridal carried when Soundwave or Starscream shoot him in gun mode…so it's not like it's a essential part of the process for some reason……)
Transformers G1, s2e29 "The Insecticon Syndrome"
