#the cons have to respect her because with her IQ and her technology she could literally achieve world domination faster than them.

look, all i'm saying is while cody is super friendly, i don't think he'd be the one to befriend the decepticons.

and before y'all come for me: frankie is the one befriending the cons, i don't take criticism. i mean she's a snarky genius with zero fear of danger. she's extremely ambitious and cunning, and she's never afraid to speak her mind. she's a dreamer with the skills to back her up. frankie knows what she wants and she isn't afraid to take it.

frankie is a kind person who could help the decepticons be better, which cody is too. but the main reason she's the one who becomes friends with them is because she's enough of a threat to be on their radar as a human to respect. i mean a lot of the tech on griffin rock is just as advanced, if not MORE advanced than cybertronian tech. and guess who knows every single detail about that stuff because she literally grew up in a lab? that's right, frankie.

i mean seriously! she has a pet robotic dinosaur! she tests out almost all of her dad's inventions!! she was a superhero that could walk through walls and had a motorcycle with rockets attached!!! all of the decepticons' technology would be pretty normal to her, and anything that wasn't she could easily learn how to operate.

and if all that wasn't enough, look at her family. her dad is literally a mad scientist, he just doesn't let his skills go to his head. her stepmom is a professor who lived underwater for twenty eight years and is still readjusting to people. her little sister is programming whiz, and she can't even speak yet!! her whole family is these super eccentric geniuses with a reckless streak a mile wide. that's essentially what the decepticon faction is!

also as a black girl growing up in america she understands the decepticons, who are mostly low or lower-middle class. she's very aware of the struggles marginalized people face, being one herself. but she would also totally call them out on their crimes, because she has a super strong sense of morality.

anyways frankie is iconic and would be the human to befriend the decepticons, not cody. (i think cody would be friends with them later, but frankie is the one who forces them to realize what they've done and that they can be better.)
