#also on the note of that last sentence ppl pitting pharma and drift against each other is so funny to me

Pharma content in general would be so much better if people could just write/portray him with the simple fact in mind that he was lifelong best friends with Ratchet. Like, you don't even need to like Pharma or redeem him in the narrative. Just ask the simple question of "hm if him and Ratchet have been friends with medical school I wonder what kind of personality/behavior in Pharma would've made Ratchet bond with him and trust him so closely" and just go from there.

This Pharma fanon where he's literally just every flavor of bigoted, annoying, pathetic, asshole-y, evil, petty, etc with zero regard for canon could be solved with just a little bit of reading asdlkfjskld or at least giving Pharma a role besides "the evil gay predator getting in the way of the real pure Autobots who deserve good things (Dratchet)".
