Megatron believes that Orion Pax and Optimus Prime are different people, so he has no problem hurting whatever crawled out of that hole.

Optimus Prime knows that D-16 and Megatron are the same person, so he will never stop believing that he can be redeemed.

New ADHD motto dropped: “irrelevant but not unrelated”

[arcticelmers]

can we talk about the shame that comes along with having ADHD?

the shame that hits you when you walk around your messy, cluttered room, knowing you don’t yet have the motivation or hyperfocus to clean it, even though you want to.

the shame that hits you when you retell a story for the thousandth time and the person you’re talking to gets bored or annoyed or confused by it, cuz you couldn’t remember you had told it before.

the shame that hits you when you ask someone to repeat what they’re saying multiple times because you keep forgetting or you just can’t hear them.

the shame that hits you when you forget something super important after you leave for a trip, and you ask to go back for it.

the shame that hits you when you know you’re overanalyzing something someone said to you, but it still hurts.

the shame that hits you when you snap at people who are just talking to you while you’re hyperfocused.

the shame that hits you when you realize you don’t remember jackshit about your life, you don’t have any memories, and you wonder what it was all like.

the shame that hits you when someone asks you to just shut up or sit still after you were just expressing your emotions, your happiness even, but were just a little too loud about it.

all the shame. over everything. we should talk about that all more.

I don't feel like Orion trying to stop D-16 from killing Sentinel was because Orion felt like Sentinel deserved to live. I mean, he crashed an entire train into the guy just minutes before.

Imagine you have a chill best friend who is the voice of reason between the two of you, but he goes through a trauma that turns him into a roiling pit of rage. You keep reaching out to him and he keeps shoving you away. He is suddenly getting fusion cannon boners from beating the shit out of potential allies, and you have to beg him not to blow said ally's head off. Your friend frames this restraint as "the last time I will show mercy."

When Orion says "Don't be like Sentinel", I don't think he means "Um, have you considered that ACTUALLY this is not The Proper Way to change the government?", I think he means "You are losing yourself and it's scaring me and it's hurting you."

He was not trying to save Sentinel, he was trying to save D-16.

Because I grew up on TFA I kinda always love "semi-himbo" optimus instead of like the gruff older leader. Optimus is always cool no matter what tho. But anyway the gay robots are gay robots.

Day 13 - Temperance

"I'll help... for 10000... gold... coins... 🪙"

This scene will never leave my mind

His little "oh yeah?" IS SO CUTE

[arcticelmers]

Throughout the movie, Sentinel always spoke down to the miners but here, when Orion gets his t-cog, he speaks eye to eye with them by getting down to their level so they don’t feel intimidated by his size. It’s such a great detail.

you can’t hide regret from the Primus

on my knees begging the new transformers fans that got into the fandom thanks to the new movie to get into transformers comics BC OH BOYYYYY:

Pre-war Cybertron is WORSE in the comics. You thought Sentinel was bad?? now add a whole COUNCIL of bots literally disfiguring other bots and doing wholeass bill cipher level of mind/memory-fckery to others to further their own goals(im not even joking)

megatron's arc seemed a lil rushed in the movie? THATS BECAUSE IT IS. wanna see him go thru 99 other levels of trauma at the hands of the government before he snaps?? TF comics got you!!

want CANON lgbtq+ couples??? TF COMICS. SO MANY. CANON COUPLES.

I think people are forgetting how strong D-16 was even before his ascension in being Megatron. And yeah, hold on—hold on, I know some people are going to mention other characters but I want to once again look on D-16.

He is so strong, from straight up lifting a large boulder (?) to help out Jazz (with the assistance of a jetpack of course but STILL) during the Energon mine closing up, to punching rocks to make way for Orion Pax and Jazz during their escape out, to that one concept scene I remember where Orion Pax was helping D-16 train with a steel punching bag that had dents—IT HAD DENTS. A STEEL PUNCHING BAG.

Here’s the art btw

This isn’t like a big thing probably but, I just really like D-16 if you couldn’t tell and admiring the guy. His strength is what I’d imagine also helped him get to the TOP of his sector, this guy’s the best of the best and ough
