The lunar marriage megop in dotm probably went as:

Optimus: Of all places, you picked Earth's moon? The one with Cybertronian history and the stunt you pull a stellar cycle ago...

Megatron: Prime, I heard that getting together on the moon seems romantic... And a first time experience to piss those humans off that they'll never get to do this romantic act on their own moon, without those pesky equipment of theirs. Like those suits of theirs*chuckle*

Optimus:... What?

Megatron: What?

Megatron: Also Starscream is the worst man for the wedding-

OF COURSE OF COURSE

Starscream as the worst man dhdhddggdgd

Found this on an old post by a seemingly-deleted account and it is my very honest reaction:

(Spec Bayverse Cybetronian bio post here)

Sentinel: Primus, it's finally hatch–!

(The egg on his hands cracks open and splats energon all over Sentinel's face)

Sentinel: –ing...

THE BABIES‼️

Since Cybertron was in a decaying state at the time of Optimus and Megatron's hatching and their egg couldn't develop properly, the brothers were born as small protoforms that couldn't feed on their own or even see at the begining unlike fully formed hatchlings that are similar to a toddler.

This means that Sentinel, instead of having two toddlers that were easier to take care of, was now stuck with the equivalent of two newborn kittens.

While Megatron is the strongest hatchling, Optimus takes the crown when it comes to being the more vocal.

Primus, give him patience.

I’ve seen the dotm optimus action figure without his platings (I.e. skeleton only) and that has been on my mind ever since…he smol

I've watched all five parts of Baymovie and here's the result, I can't with this Megatron🥵🥵

[lovinglonerhybrid]

So I rewatched the first Michael Bay transformers movie last night. I forgot how enjoyable it is. As someone who was an awkward teen Sam whitwicky is an amusing character to watch because I to would have freaked out if my car was a giant alien robot. And honestly I would also put on a brace face to impress the pretty girls I go to school with. The bots are also just so funny to watch at parts because they just don’t understand human customs and rules. The military parts are interesting to watch and they really reflect the time. But not in a horrible way it shows the tension in the world post 9-11 and how seriously every threat was taken. The military guys are not these indestructible ass holes. They are stressed out guys who are thrust into this wild situation and are doing the best they can with there limited information. Sector 7 is a blatant display of how the military is stone walled in some ways. They don’t give any information unless they are in danger and they blatantly break laws by searching the whitwicky home without a warrant. It’s not rich in lore or the best story we’ve seen from transformers but it’s an enjoyable film to just put on and watch every once in a while. Now I’m not a fan of the later bay movies but the first two are some that I really enjoy watching with my family and an easy transformers film to show friends without them getting lost.

This took way too fucking long- Everyone, gaze upon the Megatron/Galvatron height chart I made. If someone could get me a cold drink, I would love one, I have been working on this for the better part of a month. 26 separate designs, for one character, across 40 years of history. And I had to exclude a couple, the grand total is like 30 different ones. I left those four out because they were just pallet swaps of a design I already had; It felt redundant to include them.

This guy just can not decide if he's named Megatron or Galvatron sometimes, he just switches between the two names at random. I think in Unicron Trilogy, he switches to Galvatron multiple times, and yes, he does switch back to Megatron before every one.

My brain is kinda broken after finishing this. I worked on this one and the Optimus one at the same time (the optimus one is so much bigger holy shit-) and I've lost the ability to feel pain at this point.

Quick Disclaimer, if any of the images look weird, it's because I had to stitch a few separate images together to create a full body shot of the character.

Links to my Bumblebee Chart and my Optimus Chart. !!NEW!! -> Shockwave & Soundwave. For future reference, all these charts will be filed under my "Transformers Height Charts" tag and my "aka the adventures of a..." tag. Hopefully, my bumblebee post is acting up and idk if the same issue will happen here.

Explanations below the cut, I have to justify myself for a few of these.

G1 Beast Wars V1 - ~9 Feet (PMeg. TFWiki, he's so small. Dinosaur Man is so small)

G1 Beast Wars V2 - ~10 Feet (PMeg. TFWiki, This fucker has roller blades. I'm not fucking with you, they gave the T-Rex Roller Blades and he uses them)

G1 Beast Machines V1 - ~12 Feet (PMEG. The Wiki doesn't have any numbers for Beast machines, sadly, but I found an old forum post comparing the heights to the Beast Wars designs, so I win)

G1 Beast Wars V3/Machines V2 - ~13 Feet (PMEG. The TFWiki says this bitch is like 11.5 meters tall, but no, I've done the math, he is not. If he was, Rattrap, a character who is consistently stated to be 1.8 meters tall across multiple sources in multiple languages is actually not that tall. So no, he's about 2 and a bit Rattraps tall, and that translates to about 13 feet. And I'm pretty sure he reverts into this at some point in Beast machines, though correct me if I'm wrong)

G1 Beast Machines V3 - ~16 Feet (PMeg. This design is identical to the Optimal Optimus design so I'm gonna be lazy and use that number. Not like I have many other options.)

Beast Wars 2 - ~16 Feet (Galv. Idk, the wiki had the number and his name is Galvatron, was I supposed to ignore this? Never gonna watch it, but here it is)

Earth Spark - ~16 Feet 2 Inches (Mega. There are no actual numbers for Earth Spark (yet), but I was able to find Bumblebee's height, which I then compared to Optimus's height, and now I can compare Optimus and Megatron.

Yay!- he's so short it's so fucking funny tiny short man universe)

One V1 - ~17 Feet (Mega. I am aware, of the supposed "Canon Heights" listed on the wiki. 32.462 feet, allegedly. But, have you considered A: These numbers are sourced from the Walmart Promotional AR Experience that came out before the movie. B: There are three decimal points, and that number does not convert into a whole number in meters (which is originally what I thought was weird about it). C: The director has said that this movie is both canon to the LA movies and its own separate canon. AND ALSO Meg is taller than Optimus the entire movie but his height is listed as shorter than him on the wiki. They are the same height by the end of the movie, I call BULLSHIT Walmart; these are not actual numbers I will ignore them POST HASTE! Sadly, Megatron has yet to appear in the KCV live-action movies as I make this, but we know Meg and OP are the same height by the end of TFOne, so knock a couple of feet off this one, and we get pre-cog height)

Netflix Cybertron Trilogy - ~18 Feet (PMeg. Slightly confusing, but there are two Megatrons in this universe, but they are two completely separate characters. This is Predacon Megatron, design-wise identical to his V1 Beast Wars counterpart, but he is much taller in this universe. So I did some admittedly deranged comparisons to other characters and I got this height. It's a similar ratio to Prime & Primal's height difference so I'm running with it)

Gen 1 V2 - ~ 18 Feet 6 inches (Galv. So the Wiki failed me on this one, but- and maybe this is backwards thinking, the WFCT Galvatron is this height, at least comparing him to WFCT Megatron, who I've decided is the same height as Gen 1 Megatron, who we actually have a number for- I am aware it's convoluted but it's all I got)

Netflix Cybertron Trilogy - ~18 Feet 6 inches (Galv. Okay so, Galvatron and Megatron are entirely separate beings in this universe, which is a large departure from Gen 1 where they're effectively the same guy, which means I could compare their heights, and this is about the height Galvatron is. And I have decided that the WFCT Megatron is the same height as Gen 1 Megatron because they're nearly identical otherwise, making the assumption that the Galvatrons are the same easy. The amount of hoops I have to jump through sometimes...)

Gen 1 V1 - ~19 Feet (Mega. TFWiki. Hey look, it's the guy that's the foundation of like 5 other character's calculations)

Prime Wars - ~19 Feet (Mega. As I've said before, I have decided that this design is the same height as the Gen 1 design, because they're identical, yes one is 2d, and the other is 3d but I don't care)

Netflix Cybertron Trilogy - ~19 Feet (Mega. You already know what I'm going to say; it's identical to Gen 1. Just try and stop me)

Unicron Trilogy V2&3/ENG&CYB - ~19 Feet (Mega/Galv. He flip-flops so much in this universe, I think Megatron becomes Galvatron 3 separate times. For the uneducated, the Unicron Trilogy has given each of its 3 seasons separate names and 3 separate art styles. These are the designs used in Energon (S2) and Cybertron (S3). The Wiki had Cybertron's numbers but not Energon's, so for my own sanity, I decided the two were the same height. I could have done something in between Cybertron's and Armada's (S1) numbers, but there was a lot of float between the two)

One V2 - 19 Feet 10 Inches (Mega. As I have stated in the previous One entry: I don't trust Walmart, Meg and OP are the same height by the end of the movie, and the KCV LA and One are kinda one universe. Optimus is this height by the end of the movie, therefore so is Megatron. How many times do I have to explain this)

Cyberverse - 21 Feet (Oh sweet, sweet "I don't have to justify or explain my numbers, I have a source". This comes from a screen-shot of this video which has the Cyberverse height chart everyone uses, though the quality of the screen shot is iffy. If anyone has a better one, I would love to see it)

RID 2001 - ~22 Feet (Mega/Galv. TFWiki. Why are there so many Megatrons who become Galvtron at random and look functionally identical to each other why does this keep happening. Also this guy transforms into a hand)

Unicron Trilogy V1 - ~23 Feet (Mega/Galv. TFWiki. I am very tired, we have another functionally identical Megatron Galvatron conversion and I am in pain)

Bayverse V2 - 30 Feet (Mega/Galv. TFWiki, Movies 4 & 5. This time, they're actually identical, and Mr. Bay has once again blessed me with numbers from all of his movies)

Aligned Cont. WF/FOC - ~30 Feet (Mega. TFWiki. Look man, I don't know how he grows nearly five feet between the games and the shows, it's just what the video game info screen said)

Animated - ~31 Feet (Mega. Animated has no actual numbers, but the lovely @phoenix-inanis has provided a frankly astounding resource with their own calculations for the heights of all the TFA characters. Go look at it, it's wonderful -> https://phoenix-inanis.notion.site/TFA-Height-Chart-f6ad2960ca8c4c5b859ee4958723aaa4?pvs=4)

Aligned Cont. TFP V1 - 34 Feet 5 Inches (Mega. Yes, this is from Fandom. But, and I will continue to say this until my lungs give out, this entire universe is just fucking enormous. Look, I believe Bayverse is the most consistent tf universe when it comes to the transformers' models and designs, and if we do some comparisons between characters with similar listed heights (I did it at the end of this post), it's way too close for me not to believe it)

Bayverse V1 - 35 Feet (Mega. TFWiki, Movies 1-3. Look at this bitch, getting his secrets exposed by Mr. Bay. Look at him, he's going to shrink down in the forth movie, gonna get dumped down to 6th place on the podium. Get Shrunk, Idiot)

Aligned Cont. TFP PR V2 - 42 Feet 7 Inches (Mega. Look at this enormous bitch, look at the freak standing there, fuckin enormous n' shit. Wack ass Unicron- Did you know that this is probably the TALLEST base form transformer ever? Excluding any super modes or upgrades or a transforming Cybertronian Base/Spaceship, just default general body size, I'm pretty sure this Megatron is the tallest Regular transformer ever)

Not Pictured: RID 2001 Galvatron Pallet - ~22 Feet (the only thing that was different between the two designs was the colours, if felt redundant to include it), Unicron Trilogy Galvatron Pallet(s) - Armada: ~23 Feet, Energon/Cybertron: ~19 Feet (Again, just the colours changed, otherwise everything else was the same)

I have done it. I have conquered my Everest. I have finished the big two charts. If anyone has any suggestions for which transformer I should aggressively analyze next please tell me I don't know which ones to do next

Here are the different layers separated out into their own pictures, I know it's kinda hard to tell everyone apart when they're all on top of each other.

Recalling my friend asking if Megatron and Optimus would get married on the moon(cause I jokingly said that the yuri pairing on the link is them if they didn't get a nasty divorced), and I just: No, they both died 💀

Consider, alternative ending of DotM: They both got the truce and got married on the moon instead-

Ooo??

Hearing you out but I'd like to know how DOTM went different in this scenario to allow for lunar marriage

D-16, being dragged by the arm by Orion at the Cybertronian equivalent of 4 AM: Where are we running to, again???

Cybertronian Y/N, following tiredly behind: Orion, I’m with D-16, I’m tired as frag-

Orion, pushing aside various plants: Trust me guys, it’ll be worth it… and look! *Dramatically leads them in a clearing… with a breathtaking view of Iacon*

D-16 and Cybertronian Y/N, optics wide, intake dropping open: Worth it.

Orion: *Happy boi*

Wanted to do something wholesome because I love them... 💖

Love this movie so much. Watched so many times, the theater workers remember me- 💀

MORE DOODLES OF "From Prime to Papa" AU

(But it's just baby Optimus and Megatron)

I headcanon newborn hatchlings that are still very underdeveloped (can't walk, eat on their own or see) are like this before they learn how to run and try to bite everything and everyone:

Baby Megatron and Optimus be upon ye

Also look at this gif of Sentinel running/driving away:

He reminds me of a cat escaping after breaking something.

He is trying to escape his new responsibilities.

[the-faded-1]

Even in the Bayverse movies, Optimus would rather Sam put the Allspark in his chest instead of Megatron's. It was Sam that deduced if Optimus were to die from pushing the Allspark into his chest, it would do the same to Megatron.
