#he ends up yeeting his faux-Lord.

Optimus is sharing his misery via snark. Which Blitzwing is taking as encouragement to keep going. The lecture includes diagrams of what purple prose in prewar smut actualy means. I imagine Shockwave is using wide band broadcast of the recording as propaganda and psychological attack. Maybe have it blare on every screen and comm for a few hours on loop before Longarm Prime can get it taken down. Because this is clearly being recorded.

Oh Starscream is very much treating this like class discussion. Mentions important acts and positions or at least ones he feels are important for any idiot to know. But the worst is when he winks at Blitzwing over the Autobot's helms and starts listing random items. "Now now lord Starscream zat is too advanced for ze little autobots." Niether Blitzwing nor Starscream know how you would use those items to interface but "ze mech with the chin seems to be having ideas."

The poor Jet twins are so confused, and Sari is just comparing notes like oh your smutty novels sound like earth smutty novels. Down to the same crappy sword and spear metaphors.

Ratchet: Sari you are to young be reading those sorts of novels!"

Sari: What?! I bypassed the parental controls years ago. There's so much worse on the internet than bodice rippers.

Optimus: We are not having this conversation!

Oh no

Oh no Oppy you have merely encouraged the tankjet

sHOCKWAVE NO (Shockwave yes)

Starscream you lovely menace, you're doing this on purpose

oh sentinel :)

Sfgfdd sari honey sari honey sari honey...

Ratty's just done with this shit, has been done with it. He's right, but he's so done with this situation.

UPDATE I HAD NOT EVEN CONSIDERED THE JETTWINS, ohh.
