I saw them holding hands in the background. While looking so serious, they still hold hands

The Rainmakers are always holding hands in this series, it’s cute

I think IDW2 Swindle is perhaps my favorite take on the character.

He just strikes such a good balance of "Swindle traits" for me, he's sympathetic without being a good person, and he has a lot of fun relationships and different dynamics to explore. Although he protests, he caves to Smokescreen's requests. He allows Trickdiamond to negotiate for more (though he was in jail). He is a terrible boss who doesn't pay well. He breaks Bumblebee out of jail and actually arranges an attempt to rescue Elita-1 for him. He just wants to keep his casino running (and rake in the profit).

All in all, a great interpretation of the character!

IDW2 Orion Pax is a basic bitch and he still maintains the basic bitch vibe even after he got the Matrix (for a while). Never see an Optimus Prime that screamed "Average Joe" until you read IDW2. The dude may seem special at first because he was a Senator and he "befriend" with a certified Magnificent closeted-powerhungry cunt. But nah, he's an awkward and average mech that just chose to put himself in peculiar circumstances because he simply wanted to fix the situation.

I really hate every time I see Prowl's pet from idw2019. It did nothing wrong of course but whenever I see someone draw or reference it I wonder if they read those comics. If they saw that they had Prowl commit police brutality and the other pre-Autobot characters basically support it, and that it had the pre-Decepticon movement use a slogan similar to the "no justice, no peace slogan" used in the real world to protest the killing of Black people, and that the comic came out right in the middle of the George Floyd protests. I wonder when I see it if they know about this and if they are taking from it uncritically, because I always see the pet used to humanize Prowl like in those comics.

who's my fave IDW con combiner you asked? now you know :D

[ tap for better quality ]

[startheskelaton]

yooo we know that bee was a single mom in idw2019 to his doomed by the narrative son rubble. is rubble gonna be his first born bby? and who would the baby daddy be in ur opinion?? breakdown makes the most sense coloration wise but after ur latest post im desperately hoping for windblade

So�� with as much as Bee goes through in this AU, I’m not gonna kill his baby. The baby is gonna live in this iteration dammit!!! He’s cute and I like him a lot.

I hate to break hearts but I’ve said it before, baby cybertronians come from the ground, so no baby daddy involved. However I do feel like it’s another Sparkplug situation in which multiple people take up parental rolls for the little one.

I can definitely see Rubble and Wildbreak being friends (Wildbreak being the agreed upon KOBD baby in the fandom)

I have a feeling most people don't actually care for Bonecrusher's character, so I made a little post talking about what I find interesting about him.

Enjoy 😙.

I know for a fact that Hook, Mixmaster, and Scavenger are the most popular out of the Constructicons and that's fine, but I feel most people don't really KNOW what makes Bonecrusher interesting as a character.

OK, I'll be fair here and say that most of his substantial character traits come from obscure stuff or are not developed, but his most obscure bio is used on his TFwiki description... so... Not that hidden.

Take his Sunbow writer's guide page, for instance. It establishes that he is destructive and brutish, but more importantly than that, his job is a performance to him, an art form if we can put it this way. That already paints a whole different picture of him. Yes, he is violent, but he's also a self-proclaimed artist.

Even in the cartoon, Bonecrusher doesn't act like a thug (I hate this word), as most people and IDW2019 portray him. He's surprisingly stoic (yeah, I didn't take it from nowhere). He's violent, sure, but he's also dedicated to the task at hand. Take G1's "The Autobot Run", an episode that feels like the writer was faithful to the guides. In said episode, while Long Haul is the one wanting to fight directly, Bonecrusher comes and admonishes him, talking about how the device they are building will "wreck those Autobots good," as he puts it. (Bonecrusher has sparingly appearances and lines in G1, but most of those lines are of him being violent or him just going about his work day.)

This for me is the cream of the crumb of Bonecrusher's canonical characterizations, directly from Transformers: The Ultimate Guide by Simon Furman himself. Aside from that, this book has some pretty innovative things for the Constructicons; the fact that this was written by the same person who wrote the Dreamwave bios makes it feel like a natural expansion of what's already established. Though, for whatever reason, Furman focuses a lot on the "survival of the fittest" part of Boner, like, I know... '86 Movie! But C'mon!

(The Dreamwave bio was omitted due to redundancy.)

Now, in my personal opinion, you can see a pretty interesting base for a character. A perfectionist who expresses his desire for perfection by violently destroying everything he considers flawed. A performance artist in his own right.

The only thing I outright reject from Canon is the fact that he has a 3 in intelligence and a meager 6 in skill. Well, color me fucking surprised! He must be a very shitty DEMOLITIONS SPECIALIST. I sound petty, but I simply feel he shouldn't be dumb as bricks ( I also don't need him to be Hook levels of smart.) Keep him a brute, but a competent brute who actually does his job well. (take this with a grain of salt; I have a very weak suspension of disbelief when it comes to jobs not being portrayed accurately.)

Either way, I just wanted to shine a light on what I like about the Boner guy. Have a fine day/evening/night. 🥱

just a psa everybody the 'orange robot' who clearly is also purple in Transformers One is not Rung, her name is Lancer :3 she goes all the way back to The Search For Alpha Trion episode of Sunbow G1 Season 2 in 1985 as one of the Female Autobot (more recently known in other instances as the Shield of Solus) guerrillas working with Elita against Shockwave (read about the nod the movie makes to this here) and has appeared sporadically after that. She and Greenlight would finally get named in the early 2010s in Timelines as Autobot archaeologists, and the two would be warrior pilot gals in love with each other in IDW1/IDW2005 who debuted flirting in Windblade Volume II #7 in 2015 on scout duty for their warship unconscious Titan home, Carcer, not involved in the Great War. Greenlight would go on to date Arcee in IDW2/IDW2019 as a xenobiologist and help raise Gauge, and Arcee/Greenlight was also a thing in the My Little Pony crossover Magic of Cybertron, whereas Lancer was an engineer on the miraculous Winged Moon that made energon out of the literal time-space of the universe in IDW2 which would later become the refuge of the Autobots.

We totally understand why the mixup happened Lancer hasn't exactly been on television in 39 years and has only had one official toy ever (people have made customs of the idw1 version of her from cw swindle) but we do really recommend that people learn about her she's cool as heck, there's some good fanfic out there about her (and not just ones we've written!), she has a curious and flirtatious demeanor and can also be stern and pensive

here's some other images of her regarding recent appearances

(as you can see, we customized her and greenlight from cw swindle and cw brawl using parts you used to be able to get on shapeways, dunno if you can on cults3d)

it's really funny because before Timelines, Lancer's Ao3 tag name was simply "Orange Female Autobot"

she's clearly visible in the barracks for a few seconds during Optimus's speech rallying the miners

Blitzwing in IDW 2019.

[elfdragon12]

I'm reading through IDW2019 again and there's the part where Optimus and Ironhide use Prowl as a marker for how angry Megatron is/how difficult he'll be to work with.

I think folks get caught up in the idea of Prowl being an angry person than actually considering what he's angry about. The event the two are referring to is Prowl being stuck under a pylon for 10 cycles.

For reference, Brian Ruckley has said that a cycle is a little less than an Earth day.

So yeah! Prowl being spittin' mad at being stuck under a pylon that is multiple tons for about 10 Earth days is actually pretty reasonable.

For contrast, when Rubble speaks up to say that he's seen the Voin they're on the look-out for and wants to help and Prowl's like "they all pretty much look the same unless you're experienced", Barricade scoffs "civilians" yet Prowl shuts that down and reminds him that Rubble is extremely young and yet has been exposed to the first murder on Cybertron.

Anger just so happens to be Prowl's stress response and there are a ton of things to be stressed about.

You would generally enjoy the IDW2 comic if you enjoyed slow burn story with some neat build-ups and generally don't find the problem with most Autobots being "cops" as if the story is copaganda when the Autobot enforcers getting L after L and it wasn't portrayed in a good light when the Autobot Senate used to monitor their citizens. And it's funny that the Autobot regime was the force of good for the external civilizations but not to their own people. They didn't oppress their people but they stiffled their own growth and progress too extreme for the fear of their own nature bringing harm and destruction to other civilizations and alien species..

Also, we have a Megatron being a magnificent unhinged bastard while still having a point.

[short-wooloo]

I'm sorry but every cartoon/movie/video game version of Shockwave (except animated, more on that later) sucks

All he is in those adaptations is another one of Megatron's Lieutenants (a role Starscream and Soundwave more than cover), sometimes a scientist to make whatever gizmo Megatron needs for this week's ridiculous scheme, but otherwise he's just a yes man for Megatron, never a full fledged mad scientist and/or big bad we see in the comics, those are where Shockwave really shines, IDW2005, IDW2019, Marvel, and Skybound (maybe dreamwave? I dunno) are where we really see him at his greatest (especially IDW2005), a big bad in his own right, a mad scientist of universe warping proportions, a rival to Megatron, etc, this is Shockwave and it is so disappointing how none of it makes it into adaptations

Animated at least makes lackey Shockwave interesting with his infiltration plot and hyper competence compared to other Decepticons
