So it’s close to 2 am in the morning and I’ve had the weirdest thought. Jetfire and Jetstorm were the result of a slip protoform so what if they were shorter then they were before they got their decepticon coding? I mean they were refinery bots and I highly doubt they were naturally around Optimus’ height. This is really funny to me cause now I’m imagining Jetfire and Jetstorm hitting their helms on doorways cause they’re not use to their height yet.

hello yes it is 5am and you have my undivided attention

lemme pull up the pre-upgrade twins in PS and use the help of guides (the little blue lines) to do some Science

before i load the upgraded twins into this, i just noticed immediately that grounder!jetfire is just a tiiiiny smidgen shorter than grounder!jetstorm, which is adorable and i love this (i imagine this was the subject of many a sibling squabble because i mean. who can resist bugging their twin brother that they are, no matter how small the margin, the taller identical twin)

resizing the flightframe twins as best i could while taking into account the fact that they would be more aerodynamic and light/skinny post-upgrade, this is what i ended up with:

they did grow a bit, it looks like! probably not enough for them to notice too much, but if they were barely able to squeeze into some doorways before they’re definitely in for a rude awakening post-upgrade ^^;

and wait for it… wait for it…

jetstorm is still the taller twin.

percy your attention to detail is astounding holy shit
