Good lord. I want to talk about it but I don’t think I can even put any thoughts to words. Megatron. Oh my god the way they wrote megatron. The art. It’s all so. Ohhhhhhhhggg
Goodbye this is all I’m going to think about forever.
I know I just got done with ranting about tfp/rid2015 starscream’s character but, if you couldn’t tell by my other rid2015 posts, I’m obsessed with rid2015 bumblebee and when I tell you I love this scene of bumblebee making fun of starscream I’m not exaggerating it’s so cathartic to me
“But bumblebee is a good/hero character, why is he being so mean—” did you forget how much starscream hurt bumblebee in tfp?
He killed cliffjumper who, while probably not as close to bee as he was to arcee, was still close friends with bee
He stole the omega keys from the autobots’ base and handed them over to megatron, practically dooming Cybertron at the time to be remade in megatron’s image — of course the autobots get them back last minute, but that doesn’t change how much that loss effected all of them (evidence: optimus shouting in anger for the first and to my memory only time in the series) — including bumblebee
And his greatest offense towards bumblebee in my opinion—
DESTROYING BUMBLEBEE’S T-COG
“But it was silas and M.E.C.H. that took it in the first place—” HE DIDN’T NEED TO HELP SILAS USE IT AFTERWARDS “but Ratchet was able to fix it—” THAT DOESN’T GET RID OF THE TRAUMA THAT WHOLE EXPERIENCE CAUSED HIM
It’s also incredibly fucked once you think about it more because the t-cog is literally a cybertronian organ — while silas is at least mostly detached from how screwed this is since it’s more like taking parts from a robot than surgery to humans, starscream shouldn’t be since he’s also a cybertronian
Instead of being freaked out and recognizing how messed up silas’ actions are like any rational bot would, he helps silas make his fake-bot-that’s-using-another-bot’s-stolen-organ work by providing him with energon (the [at the time] incredibly scarce resource that helps all bots survive) and — after that plan falls through because of bumblebee finding them — he destroys the bot’s organ for no reason other than he wanted to escape and thought that was a good way to distract him
I just—I’m sorry?? I feel like bumblebee is incredibly justified for clowning on this cringefailure of a bot for what he’s done to him
And this isn’t even mentioning what he’s done against the autobots as a whole (both on and off screen) that has probably hurt bumblebee by proxy
I feel like it’d be justified if bee also killed starscream — he already got to kill the bot that destroyed his voice box, I think bee deserves another murder as a treat <3
/joking but also what if—*gets shot by tfp/rid2015 starscream fans*
Me and @steelthroat were talking about Optimus and Megatron cringe ass hate play and how the hold world has to witness their weird relationship and it made me think of this meme for some reason so I worked really hard to try and make this
- Autobots and decepticons are separate underwater kingdoms and absolutely despise each other omg there is so much ocean just leave each other alone-
- Optimus is a fucking drylander and is an ally to the autobot kingdom
- Megatron does not approve
- Megatron is 100% shark man and you cannot change my mind
- Soundwave is orca shaped
- the island town is in the middle of the two kingdoms
- Autobots allow fishing and ferries to travel through their territory and even have jobs that co exist with drylander jobs (fishing, underwater construction, energon wells)
- Cons will sink and drown anyone that boats or swims through their territory
- Seekers are annoying as fuck
- Jazz can swim (not well) but is terrified of sea creatures, big sea creature- LONG SEA CREATURES-SLIMY!! gross!
- Jazz noped out of the swimming scene ever since a fish touched his ankle when he was a kid
- Jazz is not enjoying his time on this god forsaken island
- Acree thinks its hilarious
- Blaster thinks it’s sad
- they both try to help him overcome his fears (forcfully)
- Jazz’s fears a warranted
- Jazz moved to the island because a family member died (yoketron) and left him a rotting house, and Jazz had problems he had to get away from
- Construticons usually work as fishermen but used to work on mainland bridge construction (that's how they met prowl)
- Autobots very much disliked when the mainland wanted to build a bridge from the coast to the island (through their territory) and sabotaged it. after awhile stories of man eating sirens and construction workers getting pulled into the water and drowning gotten too real and now there's just a half started bridge hanging out, out there.
-these stories are not true
- everyone acts weird around Jazz cause he's the only local that doesn't know ™
- Smokescreen has bets on how long Jazz will last before he leaves
- Bluestreak is not a siren, but was raised by Smokescreen and Prowl
- Bluestreak (a child at the time) was traveling on a ship from Praxus and it veered off course into con territory, they sank it and drowned nearly every survivor
- Bluestreak was holding onto debris and floated into Autobot territory and Prowl found him
- Prowl lives in the Autobot kingdom but has to come to town meetings and big events (because he works with Optimus and also Bluestreak is there so-)
your art makes me giggle like a preschooler hearing a fart joke. It's awsome
it makes me so happy to know this!!! and your message did remind me of preschool humor so please enjoy this hastily scribbled comic which uses it outright
There are two things involving Shockwave and Elita-1 I’d really love to see in a transformers series (they are not compatible):
1. Them being absolutely enemies. Elita and Shockwave hate each other. They got like 4 billion years of extra war between them and they cannot stand even the sight of one another. Optimus and Megatron wish they hated each other as much as Shockwave and Elita do. They should get to be silly, terrible rivals at least once, please <3
2. Shockwave and Elita-1 ending the war on Cybertron and for a more crack version of this getting together too. Genuinely I’d be so into a series where like Optimus and Megatron establish communication back with Cybertron and the war is just over. Even funnier the war is over and their respective romantic partners are now married
