yvannairie: drawing of someone experiencing visible silence (why)
People calling Prime!Wheeljack a ninja cowboy bothers me so much, because he's so obviously a ronin cowboy.

He's a masterless wanderer, he has a strict sense of personal honour (that isn't necessarily reflecting the principles of his ostensible faction) and generally acts like the bastard version of a knight errant. His loyalty shifting to Team Prime is the conclusion of his character arc, like goddamn.

He isn't even sneaky, his whole fighting style is all flash, crowd control and being an irresistibly shiny and dangerous object. If anyone in Prime counts as a ninja, it would be Smokescreen :'D
