I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
Thundercracker's shown up now. And I don't know what it is about the flyers, but...

They just do it for me. Also, I've always thought I was into skinnier frames, but nope. Grimlock shows up in the Shockwave spotlight and his broad shoulders?

Same thing with Ultra Magnus.
But then there's Vision and Red Tornado, who aren't that bulky. So it has more to do with personality than anything. I just tended to go for dudes who weren't that bulky before, so this is messing with my mind.
Meanwhile, I know exactly what's going on with the Seekers. And Whirl. And there are quirks about the flyers that make me realize I objectify a lot of Transformers. Like a lot. There's also the fact that fanfic - yes, I know, fanfic and head cannon - has Seekers in trios and mmmm. Just yes.

Anyway, yeah - I am super excited about Thundercracker. Everyone else is like 'RUN AWAY HE'LL MURDER US' and I'm like... but he's so friggin' hot.
I would not be running away because I am dumb. Yeah, dumb actually seems the best thing to say here right now, so there's that.
