Backstory:

Childhood: Silverstrike was raised alongsode his twin brother in an initially safe and nurturing environment. He was taught right and wrong, how to be a good mech, and most of all, how to enjoy life... until their home was attacked and his life was turned upside down; the Decepticons slaughtered everyone in his home, except himself and his brother, who they took with them after leaving. They would have grabbed him too if he hadn't been hidden.

Adolescence: Raised in the care of the Autobots, Silverstrike found similar safety and nurturing, but it was never the same as home, not only because soldiers aren't perfect caretakers, but there was a war going on. When old enough and having shown interest, he was carefully trained as warrior himself; bipedal mechs training a raptor was quite a learning curve, but Silvertrike understood.

Adulthood: Promoted to scout, Silverstrike wore his Autobot badge proudly. However, gripped with the guilt of not saving his twin and worrying for him, Silverstrike developed a moody, hostile side to his otherwise calm personality; he found himself lashing out at his allies for something he had no control over.

Quotes: none

-> his optics were originally yellow, but with his permission, he allowed the Autobots to change his optical color to blue so he'd be accepted far quicker

I Still Function

So i’ll be 34 this year. I was born in those weird tweeny years between Gen X and the accepted Millennial realization. Technically, i am a Millennial but since i caught the tail end of the 80s, we have our own sub category. I’ve heard the term Xennial or Proto-Millenial thrown around but i always prefers The Oregon Trail Generation, mostly because we all played Oregon Trail in grade school. Motherf*cker stayed dying of dysentery! Essentially, i had my formative years in the 90s but grew up i the 80s. As such, i got to be semi-privy to all of that Reagan nonsense; trickle down decay, bullsh*t Nuclear family ideal, outright war on the minority community, and the rampant corporate greed that he left unchecked. Aside from a stock market crash and wild inflation, we got a deregulation on corporate advertising. In direct response, these morally bankrupt companies flooded the market with commercials masquerading as cartoon series targeting, kids just like me. And boy did that sh*t work!

G.I. Joe, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Jem, Dinosaucers, My Little Pony, Care Bears, ThunderCats, SilverHawks, Go-Bots; i can go on for years, man! The vast majority of 80s cartoons, the entertainment i had as a child, were specifically designed to sell toys. They were cynically created for the sole purpose of profit but transformed into something more. Pun intended. A handful of these cash-grabs became so much more than just toy plugs. He-Man and G.I. Joe are stalwarts in American Pop Culture, just like Barbie, but the biggest star of the 80s toy entertainment revolution, Transformers, has become a goddamn powerhouse!

Transformers, to me, was like the first time older 20-somethings watched Dragon Ball Z or Naruto. It was a goddamn revelation. My pops was a fan od Speed Racer so i had a rudimentary understanding of what anime was. I jumped from there, headfirst into Gundam and Dunbine bootlegs. I eventually found my way to a pure love for the giant robot genre thanks to Macross and Go-Lion (Robotech and Voltron, respectively, for the Americans in the audience). At 4 years old, i remember finding a VHS for the first two episodes on the Transformers show in my local Blockbuster. Suffice it to say, i was immediately hooked. Imagine my surprise when i got older and realized that, everyone of my beloved Transformers, were based on the Japanese Takara toy line, Diaclone. Mostly. There were a few exception; Jetfire was actually that transforming robot jet from Macross, but they were still Japanese properties. My burgeoning weeabooness, thanks to Godzilla and Voltron, ate that sh*t up.

Those first two seasons of Transformers were iconic. They set forth a real, cultural, phenomenon behind dope ass characters, deep lore, and a crazy ass gimmick. Objectively, robots that turned into other things, seems like a no-brainer but no one was doing it. Hasboro had the wherewithal to bring in actual writers, actual creators, to create a world and universe a la Star Wars. Jim Shooter, Marvel’s Editor-in-Chief at the time, roughed an overall concept and Bob Budiansky put the final touches on Shooter’s work. Hasboro loved what they presented and Marvel set off with a four issue mini series comic adaption while Sunbow dropped a three part television pilot. Transformers became an overnight success. Much like all of it’s other cookie-cutter commercial cartoons of it’s day, there was a distinct lack or substance to the original series but no one cared. Most kids were just regaled by the dope ass toys and the wildly unique characters presented.

The War between the Autobots and Decepticons set the tiny imagination of little Ryan ablaze. As an adult, looking back, i can honestly say G1 was trash. It was mad transparent with it’s agenda. But i din’t care because Starscream is dope as sh*t. Screamer was just the best thing for me.He was my Vegeta before Vegeta. I Adored his smarmy cockiness and zealous ambition. It helped tremendously that his particular voice actor, Chris Latta, was one of the best o work. His distinct voice gave a real personality, a true uniqueness, to the Seeker commander. Latta actually voiced a ton of characters i enjoyed as a a kid. Fun fact, he was also the voice of Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe and the original voice to Mr. Burns from the Simpsons. The more you know.

Aside from the legendary Chris Latta, Transformers also employed true legends of the industry in Peter Cullen and Frank Welker in the leader roles of their opposing factions. Optimus Prime IS Peter Cullen. Frank Welker IS Megatron. It doesn’t work when other people voice them in other media. One of the reasons i dislike the Bayformers franchise (more on that later) is because Michael Bay made Frank Welker audition for the role of Megatron. He made Megatron audition for Megatron, and then PASSED on him! He told Megatron he was wasn’t Megatron enough to play Megatron. The f*cking audacity! Hugo Weaving did a decent job, he has a very unique tenor to his voice, but after seeing the test footage of Welker over Gay’s version of Megatron on the special feature to the first Transformers flick, i could never get into the series. It helps tremendously that they’re all terrible, too.

Characters like Bumblebee, Soundwave, Prowl, Jazz, Shockwave, Ultra Magnus, Rodimus Prime (for better or worse), Grimlock, Devastator, Laserbeak, Arcee, and many others have become icons. These are legacy monikers that mean so much to a fandom that has stood the testament of time. Over the last 34 years, Transformers has exploded into a force. We were given cutting edge classics like Beast Wars, light-hearted takes on the the mythos like Animated, and a more adult incarnation that, i think, is the best of the franchise without nostalgia armor, Transformers Prime. These shows elevated the mythos and carried that torch of love from my generation, to my little brothers pee group, all the way through the Gen Y kids and whoever is after them. You don’t get o be around for 34 years and not find a way to evolve with the times, to grow with your demo. In that regard, i have to give credit to Bayformers. Though, i hate those films with a passion and it’s obvious Micheal Bay has no respect for the source material, his films are the most visible of the entire franchise. They act as an easy entry point for people to dip their toe into, often leading to a tumble down that Cybertron rabbit hole into some of the richest, most convoluted, lore you can imagine.

I mean, there are excellent comics dating all the way back to the 80s from Marvel. Dreamwave had a decent run before their bankruptcy but IDW is out here doing gods work in the print. There is a plethora of brilliant stories being told set in the many realities of the Transformers Multiverse. And it’s a goddamn pleasure to sort all of that out. There are a ton of Japan only continuations of the G1 cartoon like Headmaster and Super God Masterforce as well as outright anime versions (complete with all of the anime tropes that accompany mecha shows out there) that are relatively popular. We’ve come full circle, man! I mean, there are also  not so... okay versions of stuff out there like KISS players. Stay away from Kiss players. That sh*t is whack, son. Still, Japan did give us Guiltar. That motherf*cker is too dope!

I adore Transformers. I love them like i love my wife or pancakes. A ton of my pleasant childhood memories are tied up in them Robots in Disguise. More than that, though, i love how far they’ve come. Seeing this franchise blow up into a full-on movement does my heart good. Even though there inception was one of dubious greed, the franchise has outgrown those sordid beginnings to be come a breeding ground of creativity and fun. Their popularity has created a five movie, six if you count this Bumblebee spin-off, cinematic universe that rivals the success of the MCU. Well, more the Fast franchise but you get my point. No one is taking out the 300 lbs. gorilla in the Disney backed MCU. Those motherf*ckers are printing money right now. But the fact that Transformers is probably the second most popular universe out there, speaks volumes to it’s popularity. I’e been firmly on this bandwagon for 30 years and have no intention of jumping off. I’m in it for another 30 and looking forward to the future.
