#she's the one who realizes that bee and kris are literally twins

[tending-the-hearth]

rewatched "t:rotb" last night and i'm back to thinking abt the diaz brothers and their found family of silly robots

specifically how much the line "your sacrifice will be our oath" is used in the movie, and it 100% becomes an inside joke for the group.

mirage gets a dent during training, and he's lamenting about it, and making a big stink, and being his usual dramatic self, and optimus, barely paying attention from where he's standing around with ironhide, will, epps, and noah, just mutters "your sacrifice will be our oath" in the most deadpanned voice, and the hanger just goes silent because no one is quite sure how to react, because it sounds like optimus just cracked a joke, and the autobots are just sort of... frozen and to everyone's shock it's primal who starts laughing first, a quiet chuckle that then has elena breaking into giggles, joined by cheetor and rhinox, and of course that sets off bumblebee and kris, the twin terrors cackling so hard that they have to sit down before they fall over.

arcee is trying valiantly to hide her laughter behind her sisters, and wheeljack isn't even laughing, he's just wheezing, and mirage is letting out an indignant shriek as he turns to look for noah's sympathy, but his human is holding onto optimus' shoulder and laughing so hard he's crying.

and every time one of the group tries to stop laughing, they inevitably hear optimus' own quiet laughter, and that sets them off again, especially when they see mirage sitting in the corner with a pout on his face (but his optics are twitching, and his shoulders are shaking, and he's trying so hard to not laugh because it's not funny! his chestplate has a dent!)

and idk maybe noah tells optimus that breanna wants to talk to him about the fact that he and the other autobots went radio silent for a decade, and optimus' face just sort of goes slack because the one thing that terrifies optimus prime is an "i'm not mad just disappointed" breanna diaz, and mirage just grins like a little shit and says "your sacrifice will be our oath" and that sets kris and noah off into hysterics while optimus just glares at mirage
