a transformers contiuity where the bots are more or less genre-savvy to the whole “optimus won’t be dead for long” thing. like optimus dies and the obligatory human companions are heartbroken but literally every one of the autobots is just like “eh we only need to worry if he’s not back by next tuesday”
also optimus getting like fucking stabbed or something and just being like. sighs. and then fuckin dies with a faintly irritated expression
instead of a dramatic monologue before death its just everyone being like “god damn it not again” and optimus being like “arcee is in charge till i get back, don’t throw any wild parties and remember to change the trash” and when he gets back in 5-10 business days hes gonna find literally noone changed the trash that entire time
either that or every single time it happens he makes his monologue even more ridiculously melodramatic and florid and the humans are absolutely distraught but the bots are just trying to hold in their fucking laughter
