#the core themes are sentience and the difference between man and machine#is there a difference? what is the difference? what is sentience?#is the difference between machine and man only in flesh and metal?#anyway latoya is isolated from her human peers and seeks to become an astronaut to find a world she belongs in#she seeks to find a people to connect to#& bumblebee who’s spent more time on earth than he has on cybertron feels the same way#he’s isolated from his fellow transformers as someone who doesn’t remember what cybertron was like before the war#and as someone who enjoys earth culture more than cybertronian culture#he doesn’t fit in with the rest no matter how hard he tries#just like how latoya can’t fit in despite how hard she tries. she tries to mimick the popular girls in school she joins a bunch of sports#teams she strives for a perfect 4.0 but she just can’t make friends and she just can’t connect#they’re both alienated from their own world and find the connection they seek in each other#they’re the future links between earth and cybertron#(which end up becoming one planet by the end of this series)#they constantly question the theme of the difference between machine and man and striving to be the other#latoya feels like a machine alienated from the human experience#and bumblebee feels too human to be a transformer#and i have to sit here pondering them knowing no one else gets it#do not get me started on hot rod and alice either. ohghhhhhhhh.#tf rollback
