Optimus cremation dot jpeg

[ID: A shot of 84 transformers, Optimus' body is laying on a table which in front of a firey oven, it evokes the imagery of cremation more than metal smelting. END]

Like a fucking mattress up there

[ID: Rodimus who in vehicle mode, is a large sporty car with tricked out truck trailer attached, flame down the sides, and triple exhaust stacks on the side of the cabin. Optimus' body is on top of the trailer, about the same size in bot mode. One arm dangles down limply. A human woman stands next to Rodimus cabin. END ID]

Snowy winter warmth. So happy that Airazor can breath fire now and join the same-gender loving fire wielding pals (if you don’t know what we’re talking about go watch the Rise of the Beasts trailer, and Airazor seemed happy about a smooch from Blackarachnia in WFC Kingdom episode 5).

ID: Four transformer toys sitting together in the snow around an ms paint watercolor fire, point fire at the central fire to light it. The four bots are an IDW1 Arcee custom from Legacy Elita who is pointing a flaming yellow energy blade at the fire, Shattered Glass Flamewar who is firing blue blast effects out of her wrist, Airazor in peregrine falcon mode breathing an orange fire blast effect from her beak, and Studio 86 Hot Rod firing a flame shaped blue blast effect from her wrist. End ID.

(yes, we headcanon Hot Rod with she pronouns :3)

Tears in my eyes hands shaking trying to manage expectations...this could singlehandled change the trajectory of comedy films. This could save me. They have to do what lonely island couldnt and convert internet fame into box office success or streaming success ig + then there will be hope

Starting long-dormant cars is one of those challenges that only the luckiest of us endure. Most human beings on planet Earth operate very new cars, or at least used cars that have been run routinely. Suckers. The best stuff – the purest thrill – is bringing back some turd that's been abandoned for decades.

Why is this? Well, all humans have wanted to beat death as soon as we figured out what it was. If we can't do it for ourselves, at least we can temporarily reverse the flow of entropy. Clawing a car back to life is to tell nature itself to fuck off, because it's time for hot-rodding.

Nature throws so many challenges at you. Rodents. Rust. Insects. Once, I drove a car for a couple years before realizing there was still a fully-intact wasp nest in the glovebox. I thought all that buzzing was just a bad blower motor. That really surprised the cop who pulled me over. Point out the part in the highway code where I can't give several thousand of my tiny stinging friends a lift, fascist.

There's an ego boost, of course. Car bullshit would be nothing without ego. Anyone can chuck a battery into an old Honda, but only the very elite can pull a rusted-out ancient Datsun out of the swamp and put it back on the road, snarling fire and ready to make everyone around go "why doesn't that dude fix up that car?"

So: go out there, find a field with some old piece of junk, and bring it back to life. Then put it on Craigslist, and enjoy your bounty of lowballers who don't know what it takes to wheel a car with four half-frozen, triangle-shaped tires onto a trailer, just so you can smoke out the entire freeway with the rats' nest in the exhaust on the way home. That's the stuff life is made of.

Just saw someone say Bee's more comedic-oriented personality in the trailer would make more sense if it was Hot Rod and THEY'RE RIGHT ACTUALLY

Travis Artz (voice actor for Hot Rod from Transformers Cyberverse) asked people on Twitter to redraw that shot from the Barbie trailer, so I made this!

Gator's room: foreshadowing & clues

I went back to take a look at the scene of Gator in his room. While the "flag", girly posters, blaring heavy metal and handcuffs were an immediate stand out to all of us, I wanted to have a look to see if there were any other clues to who Gator is.

First up, here's his room:

SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT FOR EPISODES 1-8

Let's look a little closer at the obvious foreshadowing.

Based on the previews and the Instagram post from the makeup artist (along with the subtle nods to Oedipus), it appears Ole Munch is going to torture Gator. We see him holding a knife to his eyes, and in the original trailer, Gator is bloody and blindfolded while being led by a noose.

Gator's own posters, decor, and drawings seem to depict this fate.

#1 The poster immediately behind his shoulder depicts a man with no eyes - potentially gouged out.

#2 The drawing below it has the eyes blocked out in colours that suggest necrotic (dead) tissue.

#3 The animal skull on his wall obviously has no eyes.

The Oedipus parallel and removal of his peepers were foreshadowed right in Gator's room from episode 3.

Linda's fate (mommy issues)

We learned in the last episode that Linda is dead. Roy tells Dot that he can burry Dot right next to Linda. When Dot confronts Gator and tries to win him over via his mother, Gator gets visibly emotional and shaken. We see hope and heartache run through him simultaneously. I think Gator knows instinctively that his mother is dead, but some small part of him hopes she is still out there.

I also think Gator's drawings depict his mother.

#1 This drawing not only depicts a person with eyes blacked out, but the drawing is clearly of a woman - possibly a corpse. She has breasts and long hair but is drawn in purples, reds, and blues; colours that represent bruises, blood, and dying flesh.

#2 The other drawing with missing eyes is also of a woman. This drawing once again has long hair, but she is smiling.

Perhaps Gator accidentally saw his mother's dead body. He has a drawing that represents a scary corpse (reality) and one that represents an almost comical one. Maybe the smile is how he tries to remember Linda - dead but somehow still smiling for him.

Other little things

#1 Robbed of childhood innocence. Gator's room is filled with "tough boy" items: swimsuit model photos, car photos, alcohol, heavy metal posters, etc. But he also has children's toy cars. The hot rod photos are in direct contrast to the toy cars on his shelf. The boy trapped inside the man. A boy robbed of his childhood by abuse and traumatic events.

#2 Jack Skellington. I'm probably one of the only people on the planet who have not yet watched The Nightmare Before Christmas, but the Jack Skellington parallels go beyond just the mask Gator wore. To me, it looks like he also drew Jack - and yet another reference to death. The skull's mouth is sewn shut too, just like Gator is sworn to obey his father and not speak the truths about what Roy has done.

#3 Red or Blue Pill? Again, I have failed to watch yet another classic film: the Matrix. But this poster seems to be a clear reference to it, I think.

According to Google, "The red pill and blue pill represent a choice between the willingness to learn a potentially unsettling or life-changing truth by taking the red pill or remaining in the contented experience of ordinary reality with the blue pill."

And if there's anyone with the last name of Tillman who will be forced to see reality (and potentially change), it is Gator. Gator will likely be forced this "red pill" by Ole Munch, either finally seeing the reality of his father's ways, or by becoming the next sin eater.

Whatever the outcome, the poster must have some sort of meaning!

That's all for now 😊 But I really love all the subtleties in this show! It's fantastically written and acted, and Joe is doing such an exceptional job playing this mutli-layered and morally ambiguous character of Gator!

***EDIT***

A post by @familyfriendlyhoho got me thinking about the drawing on Gator's wall. I was thinking that his drawings represent his dead mother, Linda and that he may have accidentally seen her corpse. The post theorizes that:

"I feel like Gator knew Linda was dead. but worst, I feel like Roy showed it to him."

And I think that this is the most-likely scenario. Roy is sinister enough to do something like that to his own son. I can imaging Roy telling Gator to stop being a loser and become a winner and, to drive the point home, he could have led Gator to Linda's corpse warning "this is what happens to losers".

If so, Gator's drawings would depict the corpse he witnessed. Even here, before Gator gives himself the "I'm a winner" pep talk, we see him glance towards the drawing - a reminder of what happens to losers. He then feels the need to convince himself that he is not one, despite what his father says.

Me and Mr. Jones

Featuring actor, Eddie Jones

Back in 2003, I was working as a grip on a low budget film called Fighting Tommy Riley. It was 5 day shoot, but I was lucky enough to meet one of my favorite character actors, Eddie Jones. Best known to audiences as Superman’s adoptive father Pa Kent on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, when Eddie was on set, I couldn’t take my eyes off him. When he was off-stage, his broad, bright smile would light up the room. He was a sexy man for his age of 69 with his broad face, imposing presence and solid build. When he was off-set, his broad, bright smile would light up the room.

Everyone who knew Eddie as a friend, or had the good fortune to share the stage with him, was touched by his gentle and generous nature. He was very nice and enjoyed the attention I paid to him. Actually talked to me. What had seemed like just a cute, older guy on set turned out to be a seriously hot daddy for which I was developing a major hard-on. I enjoyed passing the time by watching him work, fantasizing about him being naked.

How much of that fur, if any, spread across the rest of him? Did being big of stature mean he had a small dick or was he one of "nature's surprises" like I'd met once or twice? I really wanted a chance to find answers to these questions, but knew it wasn't likely to happen. He's married, but we all know that does not mean a thing.

That evening, after a very good meal in the dining car, I began the walk back to my trailer. I saw him at the other end of a narrow corridor. Slowing as we approached each other, we exchanged pleasantries.

"Hey Eddie." I said as we came up to each other.

"Hi there! Did you enjoy dinner?" He asked.

"Oh, yes. It was great."

"Good."

It was clear he was on his way somewhere, so I stepped back against one wall to let him by. It turned into to a moment I'd never forget. Not only did he fail to avoid brushing against me as he squeezed past, but he made a point of slowing down and actually pushing his ass into me as he slid by. There was a relaxed feeling to his butt muscles against my crotch. I immediately went hard. I don't think I'd ever gone fully erect that fast. Ever. I didn't even know a guy could.

After he slid past me he looked over his shoulder and smiled. This wasn't one of his professional "have a nice day" smiles. No. There was a distinct twinkle in his eye. He continued down the corridor leaving me standing there staring after him.

"I'll be checking on you around 8:30." Eddie said without looking back.

"Fine." I replied with a dazed grin. I continued down the corridor, trying to smooth out the bulge he'd left in my pants.

At 8:30 sharp, I lightly tap on his trailer door. The door opened to those sexy blue eyes looking at me as he flashed that warm smile again. Eddie made a quick check to see if there was anyone to see me enter before letting me in. While stepping in he closed, locked the door in a single motion and we fell into an embrace, sharing a long passionate kiss. We began frantically pulling off our clothes. I didn't know if he was eager or just didn't have much time to "fuck around" before going home to the wife, but he wasn't waiting for any conversation. And I certainly didn't mind.

As his shirt came off I saw that, though not quite as hairy as some of the "chubs" I liked to see, but there was plenty of body hair to enjoy. His forearms were thick leading to those masculine hands I'd admired earlier. I continued down his stomach until it ended in a mostly black bush above his rising cock. I quickly dropped to my knees and took his dick in my hands.

His cut rod had a thickness that filled my mouth nicely as I slid my lips over it and took it down to its base. He exhaled slowly as he stood there, his hands on my shoulders. I could smell old fashioned cologne along with his natural musk. My tongue worked his fully erect shaft as I moved slowly up and down. I pulled up again to enjoy a good look at his knob before licking around the tip.

I pushed Eddie toward a nearby couch and he sat down. He leaned back and spread his legs wide allowing me better access. I worked my tongue around his dickhead as my other hand was feeling the hair on his balls. They were much larger and heavier than I'd expected. I thought about what his load might taste like. I took his dick in my hands, stroking up and down as I worked my tongue down under his nuts. I gnawed gently here and there, slowing the pace of my stroking on his dick. He moaned a bit, then a bit more. After a delicious minute or two he suddenly exhaled, "No!"  

I was nearly knocked over as he jumped up. He was getting too close, too soon so I paused and waited for his cue. Whatever he wanted next, I was going to do my best to please him; not that I didn't have ideas of my own.

Earlier in the day I'd fantasized about what it'd be like to fuck him. Those fantasies were about to be realized as Eddie turned around knelt on the couch with his butt now at my eye level. I set in quickly on eating his ass. I covered his hole with my tongue and licked long, broad strokes up and down his crack. Starting low against the back of his balls and on up to where his crack ended at his tailbone. I continued slowly moving up then down again. He moaned deep and low. I could tell he was enjoying it as he squirmed a bit, pushing his ass back into my face.

I slid my tongue into his warm canal and continued to work my way in until I couldn't get my tongue in any further. Eddie continued moaning as I worked my tongue in and around. I felt him start to relax even more as he leaned forward laying his forehead on his folded arms, tipping his ass up a bit.

Eddie was breathing heavily when I finally stood up. He looked back without saying anything, but his sexy blue-eyed gaze told me he was ready for me to stick my cock in. I worked up some spit in my mouth, transferred it to my fingers and spread it around my fully erect cock. I set the tip against his hole and paused: this was the moment I wanted to last forever.

As the head of my dick slipped in he gasped. He was pretty tight and I didn't want to hurt him. So I kept the pressure constant while letting him take me in at his own pace, leaning back into me. Putting his hands against the back of the couch, Eddie rose up and pushed ass back and down on my dick. It was time to go in all the way.

"Yes…" Eddie moaned as he reached back to pull me against him, making sure I was all of the way in.

It looked so hot to see my cock was now firmly buried in. I pulled out and pushed back in. He turned back to face me again and I leaned forward to kiss him. We held a kiss as I worked his ass. He turned back to the wall and moaned as I continued, now moving a bit quicker. Every so often he would squeeze my dick with his ass muscles. I continued to pick up the pace. My fucking worked up to a solid rhythm, my balls occasionally slapping against him. He began moaning low. It was very quiet, but with an encouraging note. As I continued to fuck him his moaning grew louder. His ass felt so good that I knew I couldn't hold back much longer.  

I was about to pop as Eddie pushed back hard into me. That was my cue to go for it. It was only another three or four strokes before I slammed up against him and held myself there, my dick in him as deep as it could get.  

"Oh fuck!" I gasped as my cock began to throb, pumping my load into his ass. He was moaning and rocking, his warm hole enveloping my throbbing cock.  

"Yes! Yessss…" Eddie said, ending in a whisper.

As my cock's throbbing lessened and I started to go soft I reached around and under to jack him off, but to my surprise, he had already cum. So I slowly pulled out and stepped back. Eddie stayed kneeling laying his head back down on his arms. I stared at his hole, now visibly open wider than when I'd first gone down on it. I could see traces of my cum as I watched the hole pulsing along with his breathing.

Hey lovely. How about Billy making you squirt with his fingers multiple times-over stimulation with praise kink?

Summer Cummer [B.H]

Warnings: 18+: kinky, sexual content

It was one of those hot summer mornings where you were awaken by rods of sun beaming through your blinds. The only relief for July humidity being open windows which allowed the smell of summer to fill up your trailer.

Throwing your hair back into a messy ponytail, you made your way to the kitchen. Wearing just a red string tank-top and jean shorts that were so tight you couldn't even zip them up; hugging your ass perfectly.

Billy was already in the kitchen making breakfast. Flipping eggs in a pan over the stove; shirtless with grey sweatpants that marvelously accentuated his bulge. His body and abs covered in little sweat droplets from the heat of the stove and humidity.

You made your way in his direction and wrapped your arms around him from behind. He was hot to the touch. You nuzzled your head against his back; fingertips tracing his skin.

"Good morning, babe," you mumbled.

"Morning, princess," he replied turning around and kissing the top of your head.

You smiled. Billy's touch was electric. Whenever he touched your skin you felt vibrations shoot up your veins and into your heart. You felt his rough callouses abrade your supple skin like sandpaper. You daydreamed about the feeling of his tough callouses against your pussy.

Billy turned you around and smacked your ass. The impact causing a lazy moan to escape from your lips. A current of lust shot through your body which stimulated your pussy.

"You know I can't stand when you wear these little things," he said grabbing and massaging your ass through your skin tight shorts.

“Why don’t you take them off then," you teased. Rubbing your ass against the fabric securing his bulge.

With your back to him he slid a hand down the front of your shorts and rubbed your pussy. Your head flew back as he pressed sloppy kisses against your exposed throat. Feeling the heat of his hot breath on your neck. Tugging your head back by your ponytail to expose your sensitive skin to his mouth.

Billy stuck his finger in your mouth allowing you to coat it in your own saliva. He brought his now wet finger back down to your pussy and rubbed it in circular patterns. The feeling of his bruised fingers and wetness teasing your sweet pussy sent your body to heaven.

You imagined billy working out. Lifting weights, doing pull-ups. The rough bars he would lift tearing his fingers apart causing the skin to grow thicker and stronger. Those hands he worked so hard with now dancing around your pussy. As you felt yourself become dazed from his touch, Billy carried you like a bride and set you on the counter facing his body.

His eyes looked down at you like a predator as he slowly shimmied your tight shorts down your thighs leaving them to plop onto the floor. Leaving you exposed and vulnerable in front of him. He spread your legs apart with his hands and stared right into your pussy.

"Want me to make this little thing cum?" he asked making your head instantly nod.

"Mm yes please, daddy."

Billy inserted his index and middle finger in your walls while simultaneously rubbing your clit with his thumb. You held his other hand and noticed the size difference. His hands so much bigger, fuller, and rougher than your own. As Billy finger fucked your pussy you put his other hand in your mouth and sucked on his slender digits. Slobbering and moaning on them while feeling his callouses massage deep inside you. Your velvet walls swallowed his digits; dripping all over his fingers leaving them sticky.

While his fingers pounded into your pussy faster and deeper his thumb continued rubbing your clit. It was all so much. Your palms pressed against the counter as you arched your hips up allowing his fingers to go deeper.

"Feels so good daddy," was all that could escape your gaped mouth moaning up towards the ceiling.

Billy's speed at which his fingers entered your pussy picked up as he caught on to how turned on you were. Seeing you fall apart from his touch made him feel dominant.

"Gonna make this thing squirt for daddy?" he asked with a devilish smirk.

You couldn't speak. Your hips involuntarily rocking up and down on the counter while tears filled your sweet doe eyes.

"Fuck, daddy!" you squealed as your pussy squirted all over his fingers; splashing on the counter and even his chest. Your sweet cum dripping down his abs.

All the meanwhile tears left your eyes from how good his touch felt. Crying and cumming at the same time while you desperately inhaled trying to catch your breath.

Billy stunned by what he just witnessed felt his blood rush to his cock as you noticed the bulge in his sweatpants tent and become more noticeable.

"Such a good girl cumming for daddy," he said kissing your cheek. Causing it to turn red from his praise.

"You wanna make daddy real happy and squirt for him again like that?"

You hummed, "mhm" as he wiped the drops from your eyes with his thumb. Circling it around your pussy; fucking you with your tears.

As he smacked your pussy with his fingers, fleeting pulses of lust possesed you. Tiny droplets of cum splashed up during each smack he delivered to your pussy's lips.

Billy leaned onto the counter to give you a big kiss as he glided his two fingers into your folds. You felt heat rush into your ears as you desperately sucked Billy's tongue while your legs trembled. Your pussy was vibrating.

His fingers shot into you like pistons while his thumb eagerly rubbed your clit again. You could see in his face that he so hungrily wanted to see you cum again. You wanted to so bad for Billy. Wanted to show him how much you loved him by covering him with your cum again. Maybe if you were a good girl he would fuck you long and hard tonight.

Your pussy was already leaking. Wetness lubricating your boyfriends hands only making his fingers glide into you effortlessly. Your boyfriends words were only making you wetter.

"Look at my beautiful girl."

"Make daddy proud and cum again."

Your ears and cheeks turned red from his words. Your pussy and mouth both drooling.

You watched the vein in his forearm pop as his fingers shoved into you. Watched his hair smack his face. How his right eyebrow cocked with ego every time a delicate moan would depart your lips. How he looked at you with so much affection. What turned you on the most was him cheering you on.

"Yes baby, you're doing so good."

"Your pussy makes me wild."

"Take it for me, I know you can."

Between the heat in your blushing face, the summer humidity, and your hot boyfriend's fingers buried in your pussy; suddenly the room was spinning. Your sight became foggy as you felt a bubble of intense pressure in your tummy.

"Daddy it's so much!" tears cascading from your eyes.

"It's okay princess I've got you".

"You're safe".

Suddenly your body began shaking as you lifted your trembling legs and feet up onto the counter and fell back. Intense fleets of pleasure raced through your body as the tension in your stomach popped making you squirt all over your boyfriend with a loud moan. He was dripping in your cum.

"Holy shit, angel," he said picking you up and hugging you. Making you fall into his sticky body. Your safety net.

He patted your head and repeatedly kissed the top your scalp. Feeling his hot breath on your hair as he assured you of how good of a girl you were for him; still trying to catch your breath.

"You did so amazing baby."

"You listen so well."

Billy helped you both get cleaned up in the shower as you spent the rest of the day in loose clothing cuddled up by the air conditioner. You couldn't have asked for a better morning.

Haunted Nights

Loki x self insert, fluff, kissing, haunted hayride

“And we sit on the trailer of a tractor full of hay. Like some kind of livestock?” Loki asked, sounding almost disgusted.

“Correct.” I nodded as we waited in line.

“And actors try to scare us.” He continued.

“Yup.”

“And humans find it fun?”

“Uhhuh!” I grinned wider. “Well, some of us. I think it’s hilarious. Some people get genuinely scared. Some people like that, some are dragged along. This one shouldn’t hit any of your triggers, though, so you should be good. Especially since your vision is so much better than the average human’s.”

“I see. And this is your favorite part of fall?”

“Yes! And this is one of my favorite haunts. I’m really excited for you to see it.”

“You’re lucky I love you so much.” He sighed, pulling me close and resting his chin on top of my head.

“I am.” I said with a contented sigh. “Luckiest person in all the realms.”

He chuckled and tilted my head up so he could kiss me gently. “That is not what I meant and you know it.”

“I know. But it doesn’t make it any less true.” I grinned at him then stole another kiss. “But for real, thank you for doing this with me, love.”

“You are too cute when you’re excited. I couldn’t not indulge you.” He looked down at me lovingly. “And for the record, my vision is not that much better than a human’s. I just see in more spectrums than you can.”

“It counts, you mantis shrimp.” I teased.

Loki huffed playfully. “I’m going to stab you.” He teased.

“You’re just proving my point.” I laughed, nuzzling his cheek. “And I know stabbing is Loki for I love you, so feel free.”

Before he could reply, we were called to step into the wagon. I led him to the back corner and we settled into the piles of hay. I immediately picked up a piece and started poking him with it. He stole it away and captured my hands, holding them firmly. “You are itching for a punishment, aren’t you darling.” His voice was dangerous, but I grinned at him.

Before I could reply, the announcements started, giving the rules of the hayride. The tractor started moving with a jolt, music and ambient noises blaring from the speaker on the back of the tractor. Loki looked around with trepidation.

“Don’t worry, nothing starts til we go through the doors.” I pointed ahead at the “castle” gates with the skeletons climbing all over the place.

After he got the hang of it, Loki relaxed. The two of us giggled together as many of the others got scared, our eyes easily panning over everyone and subtly pointing the actors to those who were the most easily scared. I had to cackle when one of the actors in the “meat plant” section actually made Loki jump when the chainsaw pressed against the wooden planks of the wagon.

“Hey, that’s not funny darling.” He pouted, then caught the eye of the actor. “Hey, I’ll make a trade. You don’t do that again and I’ll give you my girlfriend.”

“Oi!” I squawked in offense, laughing. “I’m absolutely worth more than that!”

“I don’t know, pet, I think that’s all you’re worth for making me come here.”

“While she does look like good eatin’,” The cannible started with a wicked grin. “Don’t wanna deprive you of the joy.”

“Mmm, I suppose that is fair. My kitten is quite tasty.” Loki’s smile was wicked.

“Shush! You can’t say things like that!” I squeaked, smacking his arm and blushing brilliantly.

Loki laughed and pulled me close as the tractor started moving again. “I do what I want, darling.”

“There are children on this ride!” I hissed. He just laughed at me, nuzzling into my hair. Then the music shifted, and I immediately forgot to be upset with him. “Pappy said son you’re gonna drive me to drinkin if you don’t stop driving that hot rod Lincoln.” I sang along, cheerfully bopping along before I looked up at him. “I want you to hold onto me for a moment love. One of my favorite parts is ahead and it’s actually the only thing that I think has a chance of upsetting you. So hold onto me just in case.”

Loki looked at me and smiled softly. “Thank you, my love.”

“For what?”

“Always taking care of me.” He kissed me softly. “Now what part are you excited about?”

I pointed ahead at the gas station, grinning wickedly. There was an actor at the car near the fake pumps, holding up a match. They let it drop with a wicked giggle.

It ignited a line of flames leading to the pumps. I glanced at Loki, who was grinning as he realized what was happening. The pumps exploded, and I cackled as several people screamed. I looked up at Loki, the reflection of the flames dancing across his face, making him look dark and dangerous. I couldn’t help but lean up to kiss him again, my very soul aching with how much I adored my God of Mischief. He kissed me back with equal fervor, pulling me closer until another explosion made us jolt apart. I laughed sheepishly and separated from just a little so I wouldn’t be quite as tempted to continue making out with him. We settled in to enjoy the rest of the hayride, hands entwined as the actors did their best to scare us and those around us.

Bonus Loki pov from that last kiss

He looked at her, the flames reflected in her eyes and making her hair look like it was aflame, showing the wildness and mischief that was usually hidden away in her soul. Her cheerful cackle at the fear around them and the heat of the explosion took his breath away as she looked up at him. He fell in love with her all over again as he leaned down to capture her lips in a passionate kiss.

An update on the Transformers CyberWorld situation.

Without a shadow of a doubt, it’s the next cartoon as a new copyright notice on Hasbro’s part includes animated series.

So we’re moving on from EarthSpark. A well intentioned successor to Rescue Bots aimed older that … just didn’t stick the landing for many reasons (no Nightshade being Enby isn’t one of them, but among certain groups it didn’t exactly help either…).

So what can we expect going forward.

Honestly I think we’re in the middle of a shift, creatively.

Cyberverse & EarthSpark clung to a lot of IDW centric ideas about how the Autobots are shady & the Decepticons are the actual heroes.

Skybound and TFONE are to be returning to traditional Heroic Autobots and Evil Decepticons. Starscream & Shockwave are absolutely psychotic, Soundwave is more professional in an ends justify the means capacity, and Skybound Optimus being praised for a much needed return to the strong enough to be gentle vs the introverted millenial/Gen Z kid most stuff lately has cast him in. And just by official trailers and snippets alone, ONE’s fixed a huge problem with the cast system thing started by Aligned, by making future Autobots into the oppressed miners and from what we can tell, the future Decepticons being among those who either benefited from the system or joined Starscream’s splinter faction, a faction that likely has no benefits to Cybertron as a whole.

It does feel like there’s a bit of course correcting to go with a more traditional route most casuals expect. Even a recent toyetic promo for ONE where the actors play with the toys with some football players, among them is the one who calls himself Megatron, & the players express mild skepticism on an origin story, when they all know Optimus & Megatron are mortal enemies so why bother having them be friends previously or some such. I can always appreciate when a studio expresses self awareness and happily pokes fun at itself.

It also feels like they’ve realized they’ve both overexposed certain characters and also realized certain characters don’t work.

I think RotB and Skybound’s willingness to kill off Bumblebee shows even Hasbro might be sick of him now. His absence so far in early CyberWorld leaks seem to point in this direction too. A recent promotion and opening animation with Squad Busters doesn’t have Bee, but instead uses Elita. It also keeps Megatron and the Decepticons as the villains.

I don’t think Bee is going away, since he’s a major component of TFONE, Reactivate (whenever that sucker comes out), and that separate racing (?) game thing, but outside of EarthSpark, it does feels like they’re trying to move away from him a little. Cyberverse also sticks out as it’s pretty clear the writers wanted nothing to do with Bee after S1, but Hasbro marketing and rebranding made Bumblebee a huge focus, confusing matters, as despite the rebranding, Bee’s role had greatly diminished. (Like realistically, it should’ve been Bumblebee leading the Autobots during the Quint occupation, not Hot Rod if Hasbro was that insistent about it.)

Elita is also an interesting change. For years, Hasbro seemed content to ignore her (and her squad) in favor of Arcee, with Hasbro & IDW trying to beef up female presence with “OCs” Windblade & Pyra Magna among others to little fanfare. Indeed, Windy appears to be benched in favor of Elita-One who has gotten more attention post Netflix WFC (that god awful show did one thing right and it was bring back a Female Autobot people actually like to complement Arcee).

I stand by the series still has a villain problem, and EarthSpark didn’t help by trying to make the Decepticons sympathetic moody Autobots, but also not properly taking advantage of Mandroid, Croft and (so far) the Quintessons. This has been an issue for the bulk of IDW, Cyberverse, & RotB as well, by either omitting Megatron, trying to redeem Megatron into a good guy and/or his replacements not being up to snuff/killed off too quickly. Scourge & Mandroid were steps in the right direction but alas. The Quintessons are also a step in the right direction but Hasbro seems semi hesitant to do much with them, despite their increased presence. (I’m leaning towards it being most toys related to them don’t sell, which is what will make a future Void Rivals toy line interesting…)

So now we’re at CyberWorld.

The lack of Bee in favor of Mirage due to his popularity from RotB seems telling among the Autobots, though we don’t have Elita so far in this series curiously.

All we have to go on Decepticon wise is Galvatron, Scorponok, and Sky-Byte, but that’s still a pretty big change up.

While they still have relevance in TFONE, Screamer & The Waves’ roles in EarthSpark are mostly minor, with Starscream as the standout (in a bad fan fic kind of way). Skybound mostly has ignored Megatron, slowly building up to him in stuff like Cobra Commander, with Starscream getting the crap beaten out of him, and as of the recent issue, Shockwave’s fate isn’t looking too good, leaving Soundwave. It does feel like Hasbro is willing to experiment more outside of Screamer & The Waves, given their absence this far in CyberWorld. Galvatron is also a surprise, given the “Let’s make Megatron an Antihero!” phase started in IDW, that carried over to stuff like Prime Wars, WFC, CV & ES.

I feel like using Galvatron is an attempt to both move away from Megatron for a bit, but to also still technically use him (as a villain) as usually Galvatron IS Megatron. Scorponok, at least in comics and the Headmasters anime, is typically a main villain, but how that works here we don’t know yet. He’s either G1 Marvel Scorponok or BW Scorponok, there’s very little inbetween.

So I think what we have is a big change that is going back to basics like Skybound did, but is willing to still experiment with other characters to add variety. Plus let’s be honest, having multiple Megatron toys from three different things with little visual difference is a sign of stagnation. Shaking it up with Galvatron is an improvement post TFONE.

THOUGHTS ON THE TRANSFORMERS ONE TRAILER

had to take a while to get it together, but here we go:

-the voice acting: is okay. chris hemsworth is not a voice actor and it's glaringly apparent, for me that first scene loses some of its charm because of the awkward delivery. the rest of the voice acting is okay, nothing stellar, keegan michael key is doing a great job as usual, and it's not going to ruin the movie for me

-the animation: gorgeous. faces are kinda uncanny valley but the backgrounds??? the fact that they look kinda like the toys??? the way they move??? very very pretty, very very good. however, they did not give orion finials and that makes me mad. perfect personality for expressive kibble and they didn't do it

-CYBERTRON!!!!! I cannot wait to explore this planet. all sorts of different biomes, the mechanimals, the foliage?????? dude I'm already in love

-the characterizations: I like them! I cannot wait to see kicked puppy D-16 evolve into assertive and aggressive megatron. peppy and excitable orion pax into gentle and quiet optimus prime. GIVE ME THE SPIRAL

-bumblebee: idk I think they should've gone with someone else. I was hoping they'd add a new face or someone we haven't seen for a while, and when his character was introduced in the trailer my first thought was hot rod??? because that's the personality. I mean I can get behind it but I'd think they'd pick someone who's a lifelong friend of op's...

-THE QUINTESSONS???? I can't wait

-I'm not opposed to the lighthearted tone, obviously this is the first movie and takes place before the war, so it's going to be lighter. What I'm hoping for in the movie is for shit to get real and I wouldn't mind an unhappy ending

-I hope the humor is better in context

-I'm going to see it. it seems like they put a lot of work into it and while I'm apprehensive I'm excited for what this movie will be
