Ohh.
Ohhhohoh this response was so interesting to see.
That vehement denial, if he was allowed to say fuck right now he would have, because he is damn not gonna let that happen.
During these two panels you can actually see his optics get wider than we've ever seen them before (iicr) in this continuity, and that is damn fear.
His response of "You can do anything else to me, just not that" is fucking lovely, as out of all the values he's sacrificed during the war and eventually becoming an autobot, this is one of the ones he's willing to stand firm on. You fuck with his processor and mecha will die, whether it's you, him, or both.
