#Idk how to draw Galvatron

[dailymothanon]

Basically all the people Soundwave worked for weren’t good for him in IDW 😭 girl should just stay with the elephants at this point omg

[stinkytrashman]

I rewatched transformers the movie again today and I forgot how much I loved it. I really really like the g1 Megatron design but sometimes the show doesn’t do him justice but the movie absolutely did. there wasn’t a scene where he didn’t look amazing. He flew the mother plane into the slay towers and hit the cuntigon in this film. Even while dying he served

Also I think I should start drawing Galvatron idk I also really like his design

[brandwhorestarscream]

I am very interested in the Transformers One cybermorph AU. And how D-16 and Orion (and B and Elita) react to the discovery.

Because Orion would not abandon D for anything at this point. B probably has no idea what a Cybermorph is, and Elita might know, but with all the other lies Sentinel told, who knows what the truth actually is.

But Alpha Trion is, of course, right there...

Wheee someone else shares my interest (งᐛ)ว I'm thinking that, in this situation, those under Sentinel's rule don't know about the morphs. They appeared very late in the war, and perhaps their emergence could've helped pave the way for Sentinel's betrayal. Orion and friends are completely blindsided by their existence >:)

Consider: D-16 who is Queen Mother Galvatron's lost little morphling, displaced during the war somehow 🤭 without his cog he's stuck in permanent root mode, and has no idea what he is. Neither does anyone else, save for one person 👀 it's Sentinel, he knows and has been holding onto him as a last ditch effort bargaining chip to use against the hive

Godddd im just thinking about the angst, Dee's already horrified and sickened by everything he found out about Sentinel, then Alpha Trion grants them their cogs and the alt mode he finds waiting for him is one of those things. Idk exactly when, but at some point during their journey they saw morphs in all of their terrifying glory.

In the movie where he fired his very first shot from his cannon, blasting that vehicon (press f for steve), that's instead switched out for him leaping onto the drone and tearing it apart with his teeth and claws akin to the vicious mauling attacks of the neomorphs, screeching and chittering threateningly in a language he doesn't understand ("BACK OFF MY HIVE!" He shrieks in morphspeak. "OFF! AWAY! MINE!"

Then he hears B-127 make a strangled noise and the scrambling of pedes, and he looks up and sees the other three staring at him in mild horror and disgust. He flinches back, drawing up to his full height, and finally looks down at himself--before backpedalling in shock himself because no no no no no, this can't be- this isn't happening- he's not- he can't be-!

His back hits a trees and he pounds a panicked fist into his chest once, twice, "Get it off get it off getitoff!" tone panicky by the third hit. He wants to be back in root mode, now, and finally that seems to do it. He shifts back down to his original form, and touches his face anxiously, observing his fingers and feeling his denta, razor sharp a moment ago but now flat. "I- I'm me?!" He asks, sounding strangled. "I- I'm still me- I- I'm still-"

"...Dee-" he looks up, startled, chassis heaving in fast, shallow gasps. He finds Orion in front of him, expression full of concern, brows upturned and mouth pressed into a thin line. "Dee, what... how... wh-why didn't you ever tell me?!"

"Tell you?! I didn't know myself until just now- don't look at me like that, th-this is a big shock for me too!" he has his arms wrapped around himself as if he could physically hold himself together. His optics flit from Orion to the other two behind him. Standing a safe distance away, and looking tense. Ready to run.

"Ok, so," Elita one refuses to let her hands shake, so she hops from foot to foot to work off the nervous energy, trying to appear ready. "What, are we, you know. Going to do?"

"We're taking this to Iacon-"

"Not that," she swats Pax's shoulder. "I mean about," her optics flick over toward D-16 meaningfully. "Him."

"Uh, I'm right here-"

"What do you mean, Elita?" Orion shifts closer to D-16. "I don't... why wouldn't he come with us?"

"Because he's one of them?! You want to bring one of those things straight to Iacon?!"

"I am right here-"

"Elita, what- he's not like them, he's- Dee and I, we've all been fri-"

"Ap-pup-pup!" She thrusts a silencing finger in his face. "Pax I have been extremely forgiving up til now, I didn't scrap you when you got me fired, I didn't slag you when you got me thrown off a train, I didn't even slag you or bigmouth back here when you dragged me onto this stupid quest. I am not, under any circumstances, letting you bring a morph to Iacon City!"

"I am RIGHT HERE!" D-16 suddenly bellows. "Stop acting like I'm not here! If you have a problem say it to my face!"

"Maybe I will!" Elita growls. "I don't know what you are exactly but I saw what your little brothers and sisters did back there, I am not gonna let you do the same thing to our home!"

"It's my home too, or did you forget that?! You're older than me, you were there the day I... came..." the silver mech's face suddenly goes slack, and he straightens up from the slight hunch he'd entered so they could yell at each other face to face. "Online. Wait..." a trouble shadow slides across his expression. "Did I come online? Or, was I... did I..."

If he's a cybermorph, then... that means he wasn't constructed cold. From the little they know, morphs are a techno-organic species. They can't be constructed cold. Where did he come from, then? From who did he come from? How did he come to be in Iacon in the first place?

[scalproie]

Took a LOOONG break but at last we are at the end of the journey... with redacon prising

So they'll just leave the giant statue of megatron like that?

And heres the expected bee knighting ceremony where optimus shows that he is not only an allegory for jesus christ but also king arthur. a fusion of king arthur and jesus christ if you will

MY BABYGIRL FELL IN MEXICAN WATERS🇲🇽

Unicron waking megatron up like its a schoolday

Never do drugs kids bc you will be banned from robot-heaven and break away from the cycle of reincarnation

"So... I will live again? 😳👉👈" / "You are literally just my uber. You wont even get to drive"

Megatron getting out of the ocean in front of a full moon like a magnificent dolphin

Ah down the statue goes

"Im not sure Id wish a Prime's responsability on anyone" bee optimus is right there come on

Oh I FORGOT that optimus goes on a sidequest for like. 90% of this movie

Oh finally tfp megs has an alt form i dont hate visually

[Macintosh Plus - Floral Shoppe playing]

Awww meg's an optimist. Get zapped💜

That 10 seconds eradicon/vehicons scene was so good I replayed it like 20 times I fucking love them so so so hard you actually have no idea

Smth so incredibly funny about KO going "we are prisoners of war, we have rights!" like KO this is the war criminals franchise. And bee proving my point right after that.

Predacons are fucking raccoons

With bull sounds effects

"Phase beats flames everytime" now. I know this wasnt on purpose. This couldnt possibly be on purpose. But just like the bully's car having flames decals I cant help but feel this is a jab at roddy somehow

ULTRA MAGNUS GOT ROBBED THIS MOVIE

Hiii predaking :)

IS THAT FUCKING SIX LASERS???

IS SHOCKWAVE'S SUBLAB IN FUCKING SIX LASERS???

Utterly hilarious of starscream and shockwave starting a nuclear family in the way that it is in the literal sense toxic. And funny! Honey im home and I hate you and our kids

Smokescreen on the throne is killing me

"What do you know? Knockout actually shot straight for once." BEE STOP BEING HOMOPHOBIC TOWARD KO???

The way megatron/unicron/galvatron would look so good if it werent for the moss/algæ/rocky texture. Sure it makes him look ancient but...

They really shouldve let unicron bag at least one autobot this movie to raise up the stakes at least a LITTLE bc right now this really isnt a very intimidating display from grandpa

Oh he actually recognizes it himself

"For that, I shall require a greater instrument... of destruction" TOOLS OF FOUL PLAYYYYYY

Idk why they wrote in that the team couldnt talk with optimus bc it had like no impact on the plot? Even if optimus and wheeljack couldve reached back it still wouldve had the same outcome?

Aw look at him thinking about tricking an old god

Megs banking on predaking kicking his ass on sight is so funny

I looove shockwave's tank form and also it is a little funny how slow its implied he is in it

Family outing! Bone picking as a bonding activity and also with each other

With a surprise visit from grandpa

I WISH we got megs' pov when they met with starscream and shockwave

Also shockwave actually making unicron sound awe-inspiring with the way he said his name, meanwhile starscream is using up all the budget for his animation again

We do a little necromancy

SHOCKWAVE CAN YOU FUCKING RUN AWAY??????

SHOCKWAVE NOOOOOO

Tf:prime still has some gorgeous shots like the one with the hill and luna 1 and 2 in the background? Pretty dope

Megs sitting on his dragon like that is so funny

Smokescreen is literally the relics' keeper at this point which wouldve been cool it is was aknowlegded

They just left ratchet and ultra magnus on the roof

One last hurrah for the toxic besties in this show

LMAO SMOKESCREEN IN THE WALL. PAYBACK'S A BITCH

"I am not your boss... I AM YOUR KING!" I love predaking a whooole bunch

KO's "redemption" is sooo fucking forced like come ON starscream has done DO MUCH WORSE to you but a mere insult at THIS point is where you draw the line??? I know hes an opportunist but come onnnnnn

At least the scene afterward was a little funny

DRAGON FIGHT!!!

SHOCKWAVE

YES YES YES YES YES YES HES ALIVEEE

AND ADVISING FOR THE GREATER GOOD

Wait a minute this was the mann vs machines bassline from tf2 just now

Megs' proud little face at his "[Resistance?] ... from my own warship."

"Whom to root for? The lines have certainely blurred" Oh shut up

"And to think optimus almost passed down the matrix to me" IT SHOULDVE BEEN HOT RODDD

Awww the nemesis is down

Theyre making mr. Welker say the corniest shit

"Allow nothing to enter the well" *fails in 30 seconds*

Ah optimus is back with the milk allspark

LAST MEGOP FIGHT LETS GO

Lmao gay people

IT WAS SO SHORT COME ON

They trapped unicron like a bad genie in a lamp

The zombie predacons exploding shouldnt be that funny to me but it is. The evil is defeated i guess

MEGATRON'S "REDEMPTION" IS EVEN MORE STUPID IM LAUGHING SO HARD

"I now know the true meaning of oppression" WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUTTTTTT

Even if you spin the previous narrative around and make it so he was actually always evil and caused a civil war by pointing out and rising against the inequalities of their society JUST to get more power in the end its still like??? He DID endured oppression he was a fucking gladiator???

Legit if he just went "Im tired of fighting" bc being dead made him. Idk realize the toll the war took on him or smth it wouldve been better

This is so funny tho. Babygirl wins by doing nothing

Anyway lmao gay people

GOODBYE MEGATRON I'LL MISS YOU🩶

Bye screamer i guess

OH HES DEAD LMAOOOOOO

[Optimus] Our show is ending which means I have to die now

Scratch that he WANTS to die they are giving him so many alternatives and he just goes No I Have To :)

KO STANDING THERE LIKE. BLUD THINKS HES ON THE TEAM

Genuinely I cant believe how NOBODY was even at risk of dying this movie, thats the downside of having a small cast: you cant kill anyone. but STILL this is the finale I wouldve liked smth more... grandiose? Like the one (one and a half really) death we have is optimus going out on his own terms

Still does make me feel some kind of way tho

Bye peepaw......

Ok the end sequence is really good with optimus' last words and the theme song and the visuals

AND THAT WAS IT. IM FINALLY DONE WITH TF:PRIME

Well haterism lost! I had a good time😊

It is not beating my fav continuity anytime soon but I have less qualms recommanding it as a possible entry point to tf tho. I might even rewatch some few episodes there and there sometimes

[atfauomo]

another dump post sorry yallllll

Some stuff I am excited to write about but dont have time to write/draw!! but i will try! i just…have ot get the thoughts out somewhere….

Tesarus:

Created by Tsarkon of the Tesauri Eva, leaders of the Destic/illegal machine trade

Stolen as a sparkling formatted into the blender form we see ver in

Had no communicative abilities, as spark capailites where disabled, beyond that of a dog, but the ability was there

Used as a weapon of destruction and colonization

With other Destics of much lesser crime, started a revolt near the time Swindle and Brawl led H6 to do so on Galapagi

Betrayed by the other Destics, trading Tesarus for help by organics

Was deactivated and sent to the mining planet Messatine by decree of the Jetfire Act, which stated Destics were given aid by Cybertronian authority

Messatine was really a prison planet for “out of threshold” Cybertronians, aka, Destics of higher level crime, or those with a lack of control over their spark, who would otherwise be deactivated by organics

Quite fidgety and hit things a lot because had no other way of expressing emotion

Had a rivalry with Rumble and Frenzy

Almost blended them up until new miner Megatron stopped them

Megatron smacked ver enough times so that Tesarus’ spark could work a bit

Became friends with the three

Become close friends with the two when Megatron was sent to Cybertron to be a gladiator (as ve did not have crimes, was sent to Messatine in accident)

Started a revolt with the two…just when the “war” was to begin, and Megatron legally got them help and refuge

Was a bit of an outcast and loner, since Rumble and Frenzy became friends with Soundwave and the casseticons, plus was known as incredibly dangerous

Joined the DJD when Tarn smacked a flyer to join the group, claiming “Megatron accepts ALL thus the DJD accepts ALL” or something

With the DJD, conquered the Tesauri Eva, faced Tsarkon, and gained the name Tesarus, meaning something deep to ver or related idk

At first real quiet and just loomed over the other DJD, who were also weird misfit losers bois

Eventually became boisterous and confident in verself as a weird misfit loser boi

Still quite shy around non-DJD nand tends to keep away

Eventually got some counseling and spark fixed

Whenever the DJD smash into buildings during sparkling season, ve gets very stressed bc a lot of the sparklings jump on ver

Sometimes wears a metal cover that covers ver blender abdomen 

It feel like wearing a very tight suit

Sunstorm

Seeker sparks appear in hotspots in groups of three

TC and Skywarp spark without a third

Starscream’s spark was found near Sunstorm without a third

Sunstorm’s spark theorized to have absorbed TC’s and ver own third spark

Starscream’s was found to also be absorbed until it floated over to TC’s group

Spark was recorded to be abnormally dangerous, with the ability to not just destroy the hot spot but cybertron itself

spark taken and sealed in a modified Seeker vessel which was sealed in deep in Cybertron’s core to power the city of Vos (which came to be known as a very energetic, lively, warm city)

Spark grew despite this, conscious and alone for a long long time, cut off from anyone

Was eventually accidentally discovered and released by the Seeker known as Acid Storm during The Stasis

Had, unknown to  verself, heat enough to melt other bots and spark fluctations that corrupted any tech (also meaning other bots)

Had a jumbled way of communicating, sounding like static noise, the equivalent of animalistic grunts, squeals, and whines, as well as childish murmuring

Continued to do so, could not learn how to speak as a Cybertronian

Learned the Cybertronian ways of nonverbal communication

Was taught how to behave and control verself by Acid Storm and Shockwave in secret

Was outed to the whole con faction by a curious Starscream, who has an extreme fear of Sunstorm, despite not remembering ver at all

Thundercracker and Skywarp themselves have a protective nature around their trinemate...yet feel something close and familiar about Sunstorm (which sets Starscream down a spiral)

Sunstorm verself has an intense yearn to be with the three

Caused a mass panic, and deemed the most Dangerous Cybertronian on the Autobot Red List

Is honestly a very well meaning bot that wants to be friends with everyone and to be a psychologist

Tries to help out a lot but cant

Has no sense of the faction boundaries and will try to make conversation with Autobots either in Deceptijail, in con boundaries, in Autobot boundaries, in spying mode….etc…

Is able to make cool light displays and with control keep cons warm, which is a bonus for the attention starved con

Changes colors a lot

Is put in a trine with Hotlink (weapon nerd) and Bitzstream (gossip/computer games nerd), who want nothing ot do with ver

Doesnt really notice bc considers them as close as ver original trine anyway

Talks about primus……………a lot

Really likes Acid Storm a lot but is afraid that verself may be too clingy

Unicron

Gigantic space god

Creator of the aliens that live with Cybertronians known as Insecticons

They are basically living squishable trash bois that eat pollution and recycle old metal and shed new metal

They also are asexual and create live young that form as bumps on their back and fall off like blobs (like look at videos of cockaroaches giving birth but instead coming out of the backend they just…fall off on a bumpy carrier)

Likes planets with molten core bc its the equivalent of Ferrero Rocher chocolate

Big loser

Loves ver trash children

Rotorbolt

Ve has a profile but ve jkust needs a red

Architect nerd who changed ver altmode bc ye

Starscream

hhhHGGG

Read the story about Starscream and Skyfire….I need to do an uPDATE

Hhhmhmhmhmhmhm drama angst yeeeeees

Drama queen with honestly a really sad backstory

SW and TC are close to ver!!

Omega Supreme

Aaaaaaalso drama

Was known to be a giant dorky city nerd

Hada tiny friend named Cosmos whom ve wanted to be with forever

Was cared for by Ratchet and Ratchet’s friend Ironhide

Ironhide had saved some Destics known as Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, who became friends with OS

It was greatuntil Galvatron came and ruined it all

Or rather, OS ruined it all

Basically for a time lost control of ver body and caused a lot of pain and suffering to Scilicos and the city

Which is incredibly bad since these are very alien behavior to Cybertronians, who normally appear to humans to do absolutely nothing but float around

Bc drama stuff ve blamed the COnstructicons for the event and when ve failed to git them ve flew in space until ve offlined

Was VERY young when all that happened, like barelyh a teen tbh

Was to crash into earth like a football outta hell that would demolish everyone

Was stopped by Metroplex

Against ver will, ve was repaired

Seemed like ve was going to stay unmoving and quiet until ve heard the Constructicons mentioned

Almost blew up an entire human city to destroy the cons who hid in hopes OS would stop

Was stopped by OP

Becomes very scared of verself and of emoting, need a lot of help and support :(

Ughghghghghg I have a lot of OC profiles to do

[primus-why]

Hit me up with them Bayverse Hot Rod predictions or what the heck you think is gonna happen. I'm disparate for the trash child

AIGHT, here’s a long-ass rant of what I think is gonna go down in Bayverse number 5:

I think, first and foremost, Unicron will be awakened. I think Unicron will have actually been around way back in the day (hence the King Arthur stuff?), and had Predicons under his command that became the myths and legends we humans interpret them as today (AKA “dragons”, “hydra”, “monsters”, etc.). Lockdown had been alluding to a big religious phenomenon while he was around in the last movie, and I don’t think it was just centered around Optimus. Remember how the Dinobots were on his ship? What if they were also minions to Unicron, originally? Basically Unicron employs big beasts to roam the planet, and I think Lockdown was using the humans to collect them– all under the guise of helping humanity, when in fact, I think he was going to release them upon the humans to take back the Earth and kick-start Unicron’s revival.

I think Unicron is gonna pull a Transformers Prime on us and possess some people, most notably, Optimus Prime. How, you may ask? Well, Optimus has become more and more flawed as the movies have gone on. If we think about Primus, a being associated with life-giving properties, Optimus does his best to ensure a certain quality of life for all those he meets. He would do what he could in the first film to uphold his religious teachings/obligations. “Do not harm humans” was a part of his Primely mantra for so long, but then what happened in the last two films? Optimus slays another Prime, another holy entity; Optimus kills humans out of rage and anguish. And let’s not forget, he has killed Decepticons. Sure, it’s in self defense, but what kind of Prime kills the people he is supposed to protect?

So, what I am getting at here is that Unicron will use this corrosion, this slight, way-less-than-other-Primes-but-still-there corruption of Optimus Prime as a means to enter his psyche. Thus, we get purple-eyed Optimus. And from here I’d like to believe that Megatron only get involved and tries to help our main heroes at some point because he’s under the impression that he can prove his resilience and strength to Unicron, who could then leave Optimus’ body and give him some ultimate power. BUT, right as Megatron is betraying our main group, making his case to Unicron/ Unicron-possessed Optimus, OUT STEPS MOTHERFUCKIN’ GALVATRON FROM THE BUSHES, and oh shit now it’s Megatron vs Galvatron!!!! Cuz Unicron is like “why would I take you, an obsolete original, when I already have the loyalty of your upgraded superior…? Finish him.”

Anywho, I’d also like to toss in some BS and say the Dinobot make a reappearance and are firmly on Team (good) Prime, er… I guess Team Bee at this point. Imma come up with something convoluted like, they imprinted with Optimus, or Optimus broke Unicron’s hold over them in the last movie when he beat them into submission, or whatever. I’d also hold some hope that the human characters might be the ones to give them speech– think about it. Team Bee is isolated from their usual leader, who is actually trying to kill them right now; we’ve got some rando, sort of silly French guy who’s really late to the party; Bumblebee, who might not be ready to lead just yet; and maybe if we’re lucky some bots/Wreckers from the last film. Maybe. Anyways the humans are frustrated because everyone is really lacking in the communication skills. Maybe then, one of the Dinobots walks up and curls around them, and a human companion offhandedly says something like “I wish you could talk, maybe you’d have some more information on Unicron…”

And then, BAM, Cade Yeager and his small friend (who I am gonna assume/hope again the odds is also a super smart engineer person) upgrade the Dinobots with a speech ability. This could explain why Grimlock and pals have limited speech– it was engineered by humans, which of course can only grasp so much of Cybertronian technology…

AN - Y - WAYS

To get to what you were asking about, originally– where is Rodimus Hot Rod gonna fit into all this? I think he’s going to be very similar to Bee in the first movies (I think Bee seems a little more serious now, but that could just be speculation). He and Bee are gonna be BEST BROS. I think he’s going to be fun-loving, a little goofy, and probably really trusting towards humans (after he gets over a phobia of organics, perhaps???) Like Bee will be like “These are humans, they’re our friends” but then Hot Rod and friends are gonna get cornered by the government and Hot Rod is gonna be all “It’s okay, friends! We’re just here doing this-and-that, blah blah illegal things!” and Cade is gonna be like “THOSE guys AREN’T our friends!” Giggles will be had from the audience, they’ll be captured, and heck, maybe some bot is gonna die. IDK.

I think there’s gonna be some heart-to-heart scene while they are captured where Bee is like, being the stern one for once and is like “Take things more seriously!” but then it’s revealed that Hot Rod is always happy-go-lucky as a sort of front, as a way for him to deal with the awful shit he’s seen off-planet. And ANGST ANGST ANGST and PTSD. Like maybe if we look back after this reveal we’ll see signs that he really hates explosions or something– MAYBE when he arrives and he and Bee are being pals, a fight with an enemy group breaks out and it’s revealed that Hot Rod is actually super freaked out by explosions/battle or whatever. Freezes up. Hides. That sort of thing. Bee or other bots are like “What happened to the kick ass guy I used to train with?” and Hot Rod brushes it off with a joke. I wouldn’t put it past Bay since he seems like the kind of guy who would subscribe to the stereotype that French people are cowards.

Another thing Imma spin with: You know those pics of Cybertron crashing into Earth? Well, in Transformers Prime we’ve seen how Cybertron itself is Primus, while Earth is Unicron. Maybe these two planets so close together is what wakes up Unicron. Or maybe it’s the abominable experiments the humans made that have no spark (Galvatron)? Maybe it’s both lol. He could want to break free of his planetary form, and maybe only one Cybertronian god can release/destroy another, so he orchestrates the possession of Optimus Prime so as to use Primus’ own vessel to draw in Cybertron (Primus’ planetary form) until it destroys his planet form, then he would be free to wreak havoc across the universe. Or maybe he does it to destroy himself because he’s bitter and hate the humans crawling all over him. Or maybe it’s another thing that I will get to later.

AIGHT, so anyways I also want to take a moment to think about the title “The Last Knight”. I know Optimus is seen holding a sword, so maybe he’s gonna become a knight? I know that seems obvious, but hear me out on this. Armed with the knowledge that in other continuities, Hot Rod gains the Matrix and becomes Rodimus Prime, what if Optimus is slowly losing his connection to the Matrix? What if at some point Hot Rod does some daring do that then tunes the Matrix to him? Optimus may willingly die to be able to pass on the Matrix to someone else, someone better than his corrupt self. Remember “rethink your heroes”? What if that tag line is like a way to soften the blow of taking Optimus out of the Prime position (like instead of outright killing him in a shocking twist like in the G1 movie and then trying to replace him, they’re giving us a warning this time lol). HOWEVER, knowing Optimus’ life, he could get revived anyways (you know that OP floating in space clip), blessed once again by Primus for recognizing his faults, and instead of crowing two Primes, revives and anoints him to be a Knight of Cybertron. Then it becomes his duty to protect and be a mentor to the new Rodimus Prime. Rodimus gets to learn from one of the best, while forging his own path of Primacy. And his buddy Bee will be there all the way to support him too.

Final misc movie stuff: Cade’s daughter and her BF are never in this one. She’s in college or studying abroad or some BS. Young girl travelling with him NOW is/was a child prodigy of engineering. Bumblebee becomes a leader of his own small team, who peel off from Optimus’ main remaining ‘bots. Megatron and Galvatron’s battle takes them off a cliff, into the ocean where it’s up to the audience (or lol the next film) to find out who won who’s next you decide. Dinobots are turned loose after Grimlock proves to Optimus and Bee and Rodimus that he is a (pretty) intelligent, but capable leader for them, and agrees to keep in touch. aND THEN, OHHHH AND THEN–

I want it to be revealed at the end or implied throughout the film that the Quintessons have been orchestrating the whole thing, giving a set up for the next film. Maybe Quints are what gave Optimus the Unicron bug in the first place– perhaps he is doing some space meditation and feels this connection with a divine source, but he realizes too late that it is Unicron reaching into his mind. Maybe Primus and Unicron were just as much of a creation of theirs as the Cybertronians. Perhaps Cybertron/Primus was created as a factory for these Cybertronians, however it had developed an artificial intelligence which bled into and infected the things it created. Well, artificial/imperfect by their standards at least. So then they made Unicron, a polar opposite to Primus in every way to balance it out. Only something so large could be destroyed by an equal or greater entity, they reasoned. Unicron too developed an AI, but they anticipated this, and programmed him to only ever destroy. Perhaps Unicron becomes aware of this, and thus tries to kill himself and Primus to end his suffering. Or, perhaps the Quints programmed him to enforce a hard reset on their experiments– aka, programmed him with a self-destruct button. Anyways I want a looming threat of the Quints as the next film sets them up to formally “meet their makers” lol. (maybe they can kill one of them this film, and Bee can be like “what the hell was THAT” and Optimus can get all serious and be like “a quintesson”) also lol Primus/Unicron is dead after this flick, weeeee~
