"Prowl has equipped himself with an illegal blood-powered death ray that Optimus ordered him to destroy, but he's powering it with a metal collar that drains his *own* blood" was unironically such a masterstroke of characterisation. Sums up IDW Prowl's whole deal in an instant.

The preceding discussion of pronouns is kept, presumably because they couldn't drop that without removing the entire scene, but then when Sam says "I know I'm safe when I'm with my friends, or other non-binary people," they abruptly cut to the next scene after the word "friends"!
