TFE Spoilers
Okay- okayokayokay-
Tumblr media
Breakdown's arm is making me cry.
However-
Tumblr media
It's O N L Y Breakdown's arm.
Do I choose to believe that somewhere among GHOST's captives, there is a one armed Breakdown? Absolutely I do.
Especially considering that Mandroid says that he only has losers to chose from and we know full well that Breakdown won against Bumblebee, then ended up in GHOST custody. He couldn't have ended up in the bot Brawl and the line doesn't match up with what the audience knows about Breakdown.
Am I going to be proven wrong when they reveal he's actually dead or just not bring him back? Probably.
But I'm still going to suggest that it's a red herring, Better yet- it's a red herring specifically set up for Bumblebee.
When he finds the hand that pushed him away that allowed Breakdown to sacrifice himself and he assumes that it means Breakdown's death- only for a reveal further along where Bee's in danger and the danger gets tackled to the ground. While Bee tries to process what happens he hears a familiar laugh followed by
'Slowpoke.'
So he looks up and sees Breakdown alive, just missing an arm.
Please for the love of gay- I need Breakdown to be alive so bad I'm in the river in Egypt!

what i don't like about breakbee and what ultimately pulls me away from it with such force i can't ever imagine them kissing is the fact that when you look at it from a different angle they really are brothers and that makes it even more heartbreaking, imo
like, sure, ship it all the way if you want, no one is going to stop you, but what if you really took into account the fact that they can be siblings? divided by war, angry at each other for their choices. you can show me evidence like the "he put his hand on bee's autobot insignia, and then he winked at him, that's pretty telling!" and i go, yeah, but what if we don't try to make everything romantic and look at the platonic side of it?
they're rivals, they like to butt heads, and that's what siblings usually do. they also care for each other, but they won't ever admit it, which is what they're constantly showing. it also goes pretty well with the show's theme of family, so it's easy to draw these connections
they were brothers before the war, and then two people (OP and Megs) divided them - how cool is that as a plot? how can a bond between siblings (not even biological) be broken, how can it truly stand the challenge? idk breakdown and bumblebee as brothers really appeals to me way more than their romantic relationship does, it has a lot more give to it, while the ship is kinda restricting

Me making a playlist for breakbee fic: how do I balance slow burn with pining idiots with undertones of betrayal during the war vibes while taking place during the winter in Witwickey?
