C'mon, let's not kid ourselves. If people can go crazy about Bumblebee (Yang x Blake), which literally has zero foundation to build on, then we can easily speculate that Blake does hold romantic feelings for Adam.

Go back and check in the Production Diaries (or one of their tweets, unfortunately I don't remember). I believes there's a blurred display that shows a teenage Adam and Blake. I remembered it discussed in a blog. Originally I thought it was a scene from Black Trailer, since they have the same posture and stance (when they were readying themselves to fight the androids), but the clothes and height look different.

Blake and Adam most likely shared a long history with each other.

Looking back at the Black Trailer, Blake was really comfortable when they first faced off the androids:

Adam: "Looks like we'll be doing this the hard way!"

Blake: "Don't be so dramatic."

The explanation I can give here is, 'just like old times'. I'll also venture a guess that Adam doesn't used to be bloodthirsty. Their first policy of operation it seems, is to avoid combat unless absolutely necessary, because judging from Adam's words the 'bloodless' 'soft' way is usually the way to go first. The original way of the White Fang.

But as you can see, White Fang changed, and Adam changed as well. I believe that in the past, Adam would not have suggested, or at least feel reluctance, to harm innocent people. Now he doesn't care even if Blake advised him to. In the past, they would have backed away when a powerful enemy like the spider droid arrived.

Now they are given freedom to commit violence, now Adam has power, and he doesn't want to back down. He wants to fight and come out winning. He enjoys his power, and isn't afraid to use it. He's a bit like Anakin Skywalker - once upon a time the Jedi way restricts him from doing what he really wants to, what he believes is necessary, and now he is granted both the freedom and power to do so, although Adam's a much slower and dramatic process.

So of course the change in White Fang leadership is a reason, but there can be other reasons that motivate Adam to change.

1) Powerful trauma. This is pure speculation, but I guess that Adam is once close with the original White Fang leader/s. Then they got killed (the blame likely attributed on humans), and Adam lost the control he once has and wants revenge.

Even if that's not the case, his resentment must have been bottled up for quite some time. Like the food fight has taught us, uncap a vigorously shaken soda, and you have yourself a makeshift grenade.

2) The mask. Again, pure speculation. The mask has a power that enhances Adam's strength, and psychologically speaking his thirst for violence. It's a double edged sword. The more he fights, the more he draws on the mask's power, the more violent and bloodthirsty he becomes. Pretty sure there's a lot of people who think that the mask eeriely similar to a Grimm's, so that's one explanation. That's why Blake asked him, 'are you sure?' because she knew the change it would wrought upon him.

Reasons, reasons... I have a lot more speculations that I'm too lazy to put out. There are too many of them after all.
