I love this, and what I especially love is the question of, okay, so who can actually interpret the door wiggles?  Is this a commonly understood bit of body language on Cybertron, or is it only other mechs with doors (or from mech-with-doors-heavy subcultures) who can pick up on it?

Because I’m now picturing Chromedome being… well, probably not oblivious, since he was in love with and work partners with Prowl for ages, so he realises something’s going on, but he may not know the exact Language of Doors.  It looks – desperate, almost pained, but also affectionate?  Can he be reading that right?  And Rewind, who doesn’t have his own doorwings but does have about twelve million years’ worth of footage of Cybertronian body language, is giving Prowl the dirtiest look you can imagine as he pulls his husband away.  Meanwhile, across the room, Skids is just like WHOA, I had no idea, Boss, you’ve really got it bad, haven’t you? and Getaway is all what is it?  What’s going on?  Skids?  Skids.  Skiiiiiiiiids.

And then it turns out doorwing language is not dissimilar to plane wing language, and all the Decepticons have to do to work out the Autobots’ plans is give Starscream a pair of binoculars and have him watch Prowl across the battlefield. 😀

Starscream would watch through opera glasses and you know it.

I accept this absolutely accurate correction.
