Tfp Soundwave is highly intriguing to me...
But especially for the datacables. Now i could have other words to say about them but we're going to look at them in a different light. Such as where did he get them? Has he always had them? Are there more mecha out there that have them, or is it just him? How do they work, as from what i can see they're much softer than the rest of Soundwave's frame? They functionally act like a muscular hydrostat (which is fascinating, as I'm assuming energon replaces the water here and there's the whole muscle aspect), and they have rings of biolights placed in a regular order. The tips both have sharp grasping parts, and delicate little feelers for more dexterity. I'm going to remind us again I am focusing on the science here, impure thoughts begone. I don't think we see any other mecha with these in tfp. Mayyybe RID15, but I know i know RID15 is a boat in itself. We actually don't see this in any Soundwaves other than aligned, which sounds right.
I've seen people compare them to Sparkeaters, but I'd also compare them to Quintessons? Which i mean hey tfp Quintessons is a whole bucket of worms but! Soundwave 100% dealt with the Quintessons, could that be where he got the datacables? ddhfhfj wouldn't be the first time we see cybergrafting. If he was created with them, however, now that gives us questions. There are... so many questions here
#transformers#tfp soundwave#maccadam#thinking#Soundwaves had a bulkier frame before the war_ yes. but did he have the datacables then?#because if not then where the hell did he get them#are there other mecha with them??????#do i need to sift through rid for a frame of reference for alternative root mode references again

this has been a roller coaster of a design journey but finally I can present you: class swap artificer!adaine and rogue!fabian
#dimension 20#fantasy high#fhfy#fhsy#fhjy#fabian seacaster#adaine abernant#fh class quangle#goodbye... goodbye hoodie kid adaine..... we have mecha pilot/power armor adaine instead#I couldnt really land how she'd get a hoodie reliably in freshman year given the abernants pattern of confiscating shit from her#so I kinda switched gear and dug a bit into a like sukeban aesthetics instead. and since shes with the AV club I like the idea of#like a radio coord thing for her. hence the suspenders#I fully admit the sukeban thing is influenced by the hacker woman in ghostwire tokyo who I have a small crush on#she's SO cool. too bad about a number of things with that game#the jacket of useful things is a racer jacket this time bc Im predictable like that#her ensemble in junior year is her tank top + overall it might not be clear enough in the pic...#just had the thought ''man I should do turnarounds for all of them'' and immediately had to slap myself out of it#anyways uh! fabian I have inflicted with my favourite thing to do to characters who like to stealth or fly under the radar#which is Bright Extremely Noticeable Jacket That Hides Your Hands#fabian's ghost motif has led me to the famous horror movie trope of silhouette with iconic jacket from afar#(see Sinister and Alice Sweet Alice)#and I love to imagine him hanging the coat up somewhere and opponents aiming there instead of at him#but also the raincoat is specifically modeled after the yellow fisherman's raincoat#and. that led to. me thinking abt fabian pulling riz up at that cliff with a net instead of the battle sheet lmao#so his junior year design is fully Fishing. which is so fucking funny it has obliterated all other possibilities from my brain#ranger flavour: captain ahab#I still debate making him carry around an actual fishing rod tbh. right now Im giving him a rifle grappling hook thing#gods. I just think High School Classmate Suddenly Gets Way Too Into Fishing is the funniest fucking thing that can happen#thank you fabian. thank you for giving me this. love you buddy#still blanking on kristen but! throughout this whole storm here I've realised I just need to fuck around

My dogs my beloved dogs!! The first line of beastial spirit vine soldiers from my LoK AU. Created by Baatar when during experimentation, he discovered the spirit energy after being condensed causes the vines to react strangely to machinery and processed material. Turning the inorganic to organic.
These soldiers are comprised of spirit vines that have mutated in reaction to the condensed activated spirit energy and adhered themselves to the suits. Similar to "mimics" in a way, they can conceal their mouths fully so they're indistinguishable from human soldiers, though very astute earthbenders may notice they neither breathe nor have a heartbeat.
#LoK#Legend of Korra#LoK AU: Sovereign Guard#Neon Ocean Art#[ *pointing* looookk my puppies!#they are so 'get your fuckin dog bitch. it dont bite. yes it do' coded you know???#I've had these sketches for nearly 3 years omfg that is how long I've been wanting to talk about them#and this is only series 1 there are other variants including the mecha suits#There is so much more going on with them as well#they aren't sentient they cant think at all#in essence they are funny little plant dudes hehehe#only Baatar and Kuvira know about them and they're hidden throughout their forces#of course they can't do any bending either but that doesn't mean they aren't capable of holding their own#any time you see an immediate security detail around Baatar specifically you can guarantee it's mostly comprised of these#they start out rather simplistic where they just take orders and not much else#but over time they start slowly mutating on their own such as becoming more prone to reacting to Baatar's emotions without him realizing#or taking commands he hasn't said yet#they're also the perfect disposal service for things you want gone and not found#they'll eat anything ]

I've got this fusion idea of Shockwave (Transformers Prime) and Legion (Mass Effect) stuck in my mind

Legion perking his whatever they're called up is so adorable
#I'm not confident on drawing mecha#but if i want to draw mecha good#i just have to draw them#also i wanted to place the gifs next to each other but that wasn't possible :(#rambling#zoey★rmble.txts#mass effect#transformers#transformers prime#tfp shockwave#shockwave#legion#mass effect legion#fusion idea

Being both a Transformers fan and other mecha media fan is like. So tiring lmao. The discourse about "Transformers ≠ Mecha" on Twitter is just painfully headache inducing.
Transformers is Mecha. Super Robot genre, to be exact. It falls under the same category as the Brave/Yuusha series of sentient robots. And no. Not all Braves were human-made. In the same way, in some canon, Cybertronian were created, not born.
Take Death Drives from Bravern, for example. They are fully sentient, they do not require a pilot, they are an alien lifeforms that evolved over millions of years AND have an after life. They are still considered Mecha because they are mechanical life forms.
Mecha as a genre is very important and very influential. Transformers being considered a mecha series is not a bad thing. It can be alongside other mecha series as the inspirations for many things yet to come. And that is a beautiful thing.
#mecha as a genre is broader than you think with many sub-genre brancing out.#sorry for the semi rant but i tried to be positive at the end lmao#also dismissing J-decker as an example because they were built by humans defeat the whole narrative of the show.#the whole anime was about them provong themselves not to be just machines! they gained a heart and soul !#they are afraid of death as much as any cybertronian would. They are as living as any other beings!#i might get jump by this but ah cant we just accept it and get along? over here in asia we all agree it's mecha

some pics of my first gunpla and most perfect one together again
Cali(barn) still supporting Aerial cause her messed up feet barely hold her (the connections got loose after a posing session) and also cause I like the sibling energy I get from their joint pose.
#gunpla#mara mecha posting#i have another g-witch kit coming this week and i missed them#they do have a certain look i think i prefer from the other ones i've build (not that i don't like the other lines of kits i tried)#ft. a passed out mini-meli cause she shares my tiredness but has no bills and no flesh-body to cover#what my brain (and i. me. the mara.) is trying to say is i feel very much like the passed out mini-meli but nooooo#i gotta fuel this flesh for some reason before i pass out#✌

Remember seeing some ppl over on Twitter calling the Super Robot's design "boring" cuz of it's simplicity omg u ppl rlly are no fucking fun. Not every single giant robot design needs to have 500 different things going on 😭
#I think the simplicity actually helps with it's design y'all are just fucking boring I don't knowwww#it also sets it apart from like all the other mecha shows and their designs in my opinion#the Super Robot didn't do anything to u ppl LEAVE THEM THE FUCK ALONE#pyro's rambles#srmthfg#this shit genuinely made me upset like keep the Super Robot's name out ur FUCKING MOUTH

holding onto nsbu with both hands you are my saviour my everything. why is izzy doing the Most
#not art#I'll have to save next week's ep for after my friend whos watching nsbu with me comes back from his business trip#so it'll be a long hike.... but ohhghhgg the. gods I love it here#everyone is SO dialed in but izzy is following her characters down dark paths and its awesome#the white tears.... the way having an actual gun immediately corrupts her. the grenade tango#being huffy at the Idea of Literal Crime Lord And Tent-Sized Human Kingskin doing a little shoplifting#while looking like jack manhattan. I love her. shes barely aware of the plot shes communing shes one with the bit#once again this table is pure excellence but Ive slight hyperfocused on izzy's performance#she just does not stop the whole time. once shes in she just accelerates. its mesmerizing#the other thing that struck me is liv Loves being huge. shes picking people up by the head and holding them like hamburgers#shes not even in awe of kingskin's strength she just settles in on the spot. transgender of her#she should be a mecha pilot I think#nsbu spoilers

Nahhhh because I love how ROTB Optimus is just so much younger feeling, I love seeing him still struggle with leadership and getting visibly emotional about not being able to protect his team and being rough around the edges. Yes this is me injecting my WFC apologist propaganda, I've seen people using him as an example of why the series "sucked", but I love him so much and I've been comparing ROTB with WFC kingdom so damn much sue me
#rotb spoilers#rotb Optimus#maccadam#transformers#transformers rise of the beasts#transformers war for cybertron#wfc kingdom#wfc optimus#i am the ultimate wfc apologist#wfc optimus agonized over his decisions so much and it hurt so much to see other mecha rightfully criticize them#he did not go down in history well in the wfc maximals/predacons timeline and it //hurt//#i damn loved wfc#he's one of my favorite versions of optimus and i just know rotb Optimus will be too

If you disregard the prime trilogy, and the manga, and the remakes, there's only three instances of Samus and Ridley meeting between K2L and Other M, and in that context, That Scene kinda-sorta almost makes sense if you squint.
Like, I get the defenses of That Scene, and I can't even say I disagree. Yes, trauma recovery isn't linear. Yes, she's in a bad headspace and old wounds are reopened. In a better version of Other M, and with a better framing and execution, That Scene could have probably worked. The idea of it wasn't terrible, out of context. But I think in context, with the execution it got, it's still actually just. Bad.
And it's like, if you're at a point where you have to ignore over half of the series and several better games to make one installment work, is it really worth it?
#not a reblog#metroid#metroid other m#stray thoughts#'it could have been good IF-'#also counting it up#if you do include the manga and trilogy and both remakes#there are tenish instances of them fighting#though mecha ridley is a debatable case#between k2l and OM anyway#neo ridley in fusion is irrelevant for all this

This may be a stupid question but why do you like transformers? They look cool and I see people posting about them and get jealous but I don't know if I could really get into it myself... anything you would recommend starting with?
Not a stupid question! But certainly an interesting one!! Unsurprisingly, I ended up talking a lot.
I like Transformers for a lot of reasons! Partially because well... I like robots and mechanical things, and by association, mecha! But the reason I ended up getting sucked in past admiring the designs was because of the characters.
I'm a character and story driven person more than anything, so when I realised "oh my god Transformers is more than big robots battling it out" (still cool but not compelling to me) I knew I was doomed. Like yes, it IS about their 4 million year long war, but it's also about interpersonal relationships and revolution and morality (and the lack of), and also kind of going "what if this really fucked up thing happened? what then?" and a whole lot more.
I also really enjoy the way characters are portrayed differently across continuities, because sometimes you get really different interpretations of characters and I think it's fascinating and fun. (This should surprise no one, considering I also like UT AUs. like. Yeah. LOL. Of course.)
Honestly I was kinda feeling the same way you described up until... April? This year? (... Crazy. It has felt like WAY longer rhdjfhdjbfd) where TF kinda existed in my periphery but I was just like. Mild about it. I had some friends who liked it so it crossed my dash from time to time but I was kinda like. Meh??
But then I started reading a lot of Transformers fanfic because it had some specific tropes I wanted to read, and got sucked in because I was doing a lot of googling so that I knew what characters looked like. And then googling to find out what the fuck was up with characters (why does everyone write the weird blue helicopter like this? Oh... he's just... Like that. Okay. I love him.)
I also just... enjoy learning lore and worldbuilding facts and HO BOY. TRANSFORMERS HAS A LOT OF THAT. also fanon. I am learning new things constantly and its GREAT.
As for places to start...
=======
I mean, there's a pretty good movie that just came out ;]]!! TF One is genuinely a decent place to start imo. Other than that... I think I've actually answered this before actually ndhfjdhfkf but I'll answer again! I like talking. Evidently.
Depending on whether you like reading or watching stuff, you have a VARIETY of options:
Transformers IDW (2005)/IDW1 (Comic): LONG comic series. Really really really good though. IDW does... kind of require a reading guide though, and I have some linked in this post (under the cut!)
Some people recommend you start at the fan favorite series, More Than Meets The Eye (MTMTE), which follows a crew of mechs that is set after the end of the war. Fun adventures in space! Totally all fun and nothing bad happens ever. Personally I wanted to know about the war and so I read. everything else leading up to it first, but MTMTE is (somewhat) self contained especially for the earlier stuff, so I do think it's possible to start there if you want to!
Transformers Skybound (Comic): This is the current ongoing comic series, which probably makes it a good jumping on point, but it's also... very sad. And violent! With very little downtime. If you like that then bam go for it though. It's pretty good imo! It's a great intro to some of the characters. (Like Shockwave :])
Transformers Prime (TV Series): Fan favorite! I like it a lot and one day I'll get around to actually watching it I swear. I really love some of the characters in this... also I got really obsessed with Soundwave from this series and that's what spurred me to get into TF. Except I also NEEDED to find out what the fuck was up with MTMTE characters so I went and read IDW instead.
Transformers Earthspark, (but specifically the first season apparently): I don't... know what's going on with the second season and I've heard very mixed reviews of S3. Apparently S1 is good though! It's ALSO set after the war, which means you get Optimus and Megatron being besties which is fun whdjfbdjfbfk,, I haven't watched this one either but from what I do know of it, it's a decent jumping on point.
Transformers Cyberverse (TV Series): This one is aimed at a younger audience and so it has Short Episodes but it's still a pretty fun time! I'm... still only partway through season 2, and I've heard Seasons 3 and 4 are really good LMAO
Other notable options: The G1 Cartoon, Transformers IDW (2019)/IDW2 (reboot of IDW1, got cut short though :[...)
Alternatively you can also take the route I took and just read fanfic like a lunatic until you eventually cave and just go "FINE. I'LL GET INTO TRANSFORMERS." If that's the case, tell me so I can bumo up my schedule for making the fic rec list that I've been meaning to make anyway.
ALSO. Did I also mention that pretty much all the TV series can be found for free on Youtube? Because they are. Which is crazy to me but I'm certainly not complaining >:)!!
#inbox#anon#weirdly enough my Mecha Awakening was via a podcast LMAO#because i was also pretty mild on that before then (again. dont know why. i loved robots before that)#if you're wondering what series I HAVE watched because wow tjat sure is a lot of series i havent.#ive watched transformers animated. and also am steadily chugging thru TF Armada and also RID 2001 for some reason.#those are also fun but i dont consider them good starting points#anyway the other big reason is that like extreme size difference and robotfucking so like take that down.#also getting into stuff via reading fic is so funny because i really feel like every 5 seconds u just go 'WAIT THATS CANON? THATS A THING??
