"Won't be the first arm I've lost."

Prowl pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. Why did he bother checking Sunstreaker's instagram. It was generally better to simply not know.

"Look Warp, there's really no need to point the Duck of Judgement at me. Turning the shipping container into a hot tub was a good idea."

It's the red square under the rigging. I'm still playing with poses for it. Printed it big enough to theoretically fit Sideswipe in car mode.

Rigging arrived for aerial shots and now I can suspend some lighting from here without having to manually hold it.

Sideswipe learning during their washrack-make up gossip sessions that Sunstreaker's is, in fact, very messy, at least when it comes to his situationships and relationships.

Final attempt where I managed to make it look like Sideswipe was jumping and giving it his all to really smash Sunstreaker's face in, without using any rigging.
