I’ve been considering this idea for a few days so please everyone else consider it too: carrying transformers are Very Warm
a carrier is kind of like a walking hot spot, but they’re also literally hot. since their system is working extra hard to make a new dang cybertronian, there’s a lot of nanite activity and probably increased spark output too. this leads to both localized and generalized heat-spikes, most notably in the abdominal region.
as such: carriers are basically furnaces who need to drink extra coolant so they don’t get overheated, but this also makes them absolutely wonderful to cuddle with
idk I just thought this idea was cute
