Please Do Not Retool Legacy Windblade into Slipstream!! Please Make a Brand New Figure for Slipstream!! Please Hasbro, PLEASE!

(i don't know why i even bother when the people from hasbro pulse and takara tomy never listen to me...)

[quetzalpapalotl]

Scott's tf comics have their flaws ofc, but they're fine. The thing that really throws me off is her interviews because it's that feeling of "did we read the same thing" you get from some analysis, except this is the author.

[waspinators]

would be awesome if this windblade comic was actually about windblade

[artsy-hobbitses]

Do you perhaps have any headcanons on the miscreant Starscream??

DO I EVER.

I'm gonna assume you're new here or at least have not seen all headcanons, so I'll collated into one document. RIP you're getting sandblasted with a horrible sky gremlin who has hidden heart of a hero (DON'T LET THEM HEAR YOU SAY THAT, HE HAS STREET CRED TO MAINTAIN).

Starscream/Stefan Scavarro got his codename from the shriek that his suit's engines made when he would divebomb opponents from the heavens. Combined with them seeing literal stars when he blindsided them and how much of a 'sky devil' he was with his red armor, a terrified senate guard described him as the rebellion's "(Azrael) Morningstar, screaming bloody vengeance as he swoops down from the heavens to hunt the wicked". Hence, 'Starscream' was born.

He wears his hair long to cover the Cold Construct barcode on the nape of his neck. Touch him there without his permission, and he will break your fingers.

He's the best cook on the team, and he'll say it's because he's rather eat barb wire (the taste of his blood would at least add some flavour) than be subjected to the military slop he lived with for twenty years. It's never too late to learn how to how to cook and eat well, though if you substitute fresh garlic for powdered garlic in something you're serving him, he's going to fight you across the dining room table after he's done eating it. Food should be respected, even if they were the product of a culinary crime.

He learned to tailor his own clothes during his college days, and has since become very proficient at it. He make most of his formal garments, and is considered the most fashion-centric member of the team.

He was very close to Senator Shockwave/Sharifuddin Waseem as a young politician, to the point of having an unrequited crush. Sharif accepted him as a part of the senate despite his status as a (freed) Cold Construct driving others away from him, and both spent most of their time together in the senate researching and drafting bills pushing for more rights and protections for the Manual Class and Cold Constructs

He has a personal dislike of Optimus Prime/Omar Parvez, and blames Omar for what happened to Sharif, as Sharif surrendered to Proteus on Omar's watch. He had earlier requested that Omar not leave Sharif's side before their mission began and he was assigned to another post, because he had a bad feeling about Proteus' plans for Sharif, and accused Omar of being too spineless to stop it. That Omar had to choose between saving Sharif or the men Sharif told him to keep safe was something he refused to consider. However, in time they do come to an understanding when he accepts that Omar was given a impossible choice and made the one that respected Sharif's last request and sacrifice.

While he can't bring himself to keep pets (he doesn't want to get attached amid a war), he does have a fondness for cats! He admires their beauty, grace, independence and low tolerance for bullshit. He eventually adopts an old and ornery female cat named Graymalkin post-war to keep him company while Windblade/Wariko Baisho is out at work

Stefan has a ridiculously high pain tolerance due to the abuse he was put through from childhood at the air base he grew up in. His eardrums have ruptured more times than he can recall from flight test chambers and high altitude barotrauma, and if he didn't stop crying, his handlers would give him something to really cry about before they dragged him off to the medics. He has an accelerated healing factor, they saw no issue with letting out their frustrations on him, as he was simply an asset in their eyes, even as a seven-year-old.

As such, he has very warped idea of what constitutes a 'major' injury on him---he can be running around cradling his disemboweled intestines in one arm without breaking a sweat. He offhandedly tells people that an injury doesn't register as 'major' to him unless it's a skull fracture where he can feel a section of his head caved in, or a direct shot to the heart.

Because of this, he also has a very skewed idea of what 'hurt' means to him personally and how he's meant to react to it. He's internalised his handlers' assertion that because he can heal, his pain does not matter. So what if people hurt him? It's what he was built to withstand. There is a weird sense of pride he has about this, he sees it as a mark of strength, and it's partly why he's as defiantly blasé as he is about Megatron's abuse when they get in each other's faces. At the same time, it's also deeply lonely for him and he oscillates wildly between shying away from physical contact and being starved for 'good' touch at the same time.

To add to this, while he grows to harbour unspoken attraction towards Wariko which he attempted to throttle multiple times in their early says interacting with each other, he stops icing her out when she becomes the first person to acknowledge his pain, and that him being able to heal and bearing no scars from his abuse doesn't make that pain any less real. She's also his first experience with 'good' touch, which he quickly finds he cannot get enough of.

He adores musicals. In particular are The Greatest Showman, Moulin Rouge and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

When he and Morgan are in one of their more civil moods, they play chess together in a weirdly companionable silence, as despite their mutual disdain, they understand each other the most. They're equally matched, and it's the only time where Morgan will sincerely compliment him about something, and he'd accept it without sneering or boasting. (He used to play with Sharif, who doesn't do so now as Shockwave, while Morgan used to play with Omar, so it also feels like a moment of bonding over shared loss)

He's an excellent dancer! Mostly ballroom-based which he picked up during his days as a young politician for big senate events, but he enjoys mixing things up a bit with tango or freestyle.

Has mastered walking in high heels.

He alternates between having a soft spot for Thundercracker/Teo Cortez, who he sometimes sees as a younger brother, and calling Teo out as being the 'weak link' of the Trine. He can one day be planning a heartfelt birthday party and baking a cake for Teo since Teo can no longer celebrate it with family, and the next day be screaming at Teo for messing up at target practice. He justifies this hot and cold by saying that someone like Teo isn't made for war, but since Teo insists on being here, he would rather have Teo sad or angry at him for being harsh over the work they have to do, than to have Teo dead from softness and carelessness. He was genuinely relieved when Teo finally left the Decepticons, and they do reconcile post-war.

Openly calls Tarn out for being a fanboy simp in bad Decepticon cosplay.

He never really takes Bumblebee/Benjamin Bane seriously as a fellow combatant and is constantly breaking into Omar's comm signal on the field to yell at Omar to send "your son" back home, this is NO PLACE for a child playing DRESS-UP. (Ben's "I'M 18 YOU POMPOUS PRAT" is immediately met with Stefan's "DON'T YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT, STOP KICKING ME IS PRIME RAISING YOU IN A BARN")

That said, despite being on opposite sides of the fence, when Ben becomes a discorporated soul, he is drawn to Stefan, who can hear him because it is Stefan, rather than Omar or even Memo and Charlie, who unknowingly first truly heard him. This goes back to when Ben was nine, and had a chance to visit the Quintesson War Museum on his birthday; his father and mother however, had no interest in exploring the exhibits with him and left him to do so on alone. On a whim, he asked a passing man, a young politician Stefan who was visiting before a conference, to help him take a picture. Stefan wanted this to be a one and done, but after asking Ben about his parents and finding out they left him to celebrate his birthday alone, he decided to chaperone Ben through the entire time that Ben was there and listened to this boy talk about everything under the sun. He didn't put much thought into this after he left, it was just a few hours of making a child happy/feel less lonely on on their birthday (he's never celebrated one! what a novelty that is), he didn't even have the presence of mind to ask for the boy's name since he himself was not given one until he was 18, but Ben never forgot.

As vain as he is, Stefan hates seeing old pictures of himself, especially those taken of him during his old senate days. He hates the boyish way he used to smile, he hates the hopeful light in his eyes, he hates coming to terms with the part of himself he felt he had sacrificed to hate over humanity on the day they razed the Senate… and how he barely recognizes the man he used to be. Wariko eventually makes him see the truth; that the man he was is the man he still is deep down.

He loves collecting plane models. He does not love putting them together, however, and it's a task he often bribes Skywarp into with offerings of muttabaq fresh off the gridle.

Sharif's old nickname for him is "Pretty Bird", Wariko calls him "Uguisu" (Japanese Bush Warbler).

Extremely protective of his armored flight suit. It was a prototype made by Sharif years ago for him--it was his first taste of flying without a helmet or within a cockpit, and he's never been able to forget that feeling. He also sees it as the last gift Sharif ever gave him before becoming 'Shockwave'. He refuses to let Morgan touch it, and the one time he did approach Shockwave to make some amendments, Shockwave told him to rubbish it for a better upgrade. He declined, and has since learned how to fix and programme the suit on his own. He won't admit it, but it feels like keeping the last physical bit of Sharif's memory alive.

Deeply in love with sky and flying in general; he embraces it as the most free he ever feels. He's up early for morning flights to catch the sunrise, and when he feels like he needs to get away from it all, he flies up high enough that ice gnaws at his face and he can't breath before freefalling through the clouds. It helps him gain a sense of perspective.

Stefan and Wariko do eventually get married, and he settles into a Way Of The Househusband role to her Lady First Delegate. They end up adopting two Cold Construct kids, Suzume and Gabriele.

If you'd like more Winblade/Starscream headcanons (because they are my power couple!), you can find them here and here!

craving info about you AU's robo-ladies 👁️👁️

Sure ;D ⬇️

One of the main characters in my au, Hot Rod!

She's one of the younger autobots, and one of the only ones that isn't afraid to stand up to Sentinel. When she was "born," she was assigned to Ultra Magnus, taking care of her was supposed to help him have patience and calm the terrible temper he had. She's currently learning how to steer The Ark (and she's not doing so well), as well as having to deal with Sentinel wanting her to be Prime (so that he can keep her under his control). She's curious, and may be the key to stopping the war... Who knows... :)

Next one is Elita-One!

Elita-One, as awesome as she is, she can be the most annoying autobot out there. Depends who you ask. She's a skilled fighter and loyal to the autobot cause, she's saved Optimus in battle countless times, but she's always had an obsession with Optimus, even back when Optimus was still called Orion Pax.

Next up (and one of my favorite), Megaempress!

She's actually Megatron's sister! She and Megatron were created at slightly different times yet they're related! She had a way better life than him though (Her parental figure was Termagax btw), and she never met him until she headed to Earth for a "pit stop" to refill her ship with a supply of energon and other things and stumbled across The Nemesis. She's way more outgoing and energetic than Megatron, and she's tough but friendly. She's leader of a small group of bots who left Cybertron during the war, her second in command being Slipstream!

Next one is Slipstream! (Not official design, I'm changing it up a bit)

Slipstream is actually Starscream's sister! Born at different times though just like Megaempress. She's second in command to Megaenmpress and she's a tough cookie. She and Windblade had some past together but she's moved on. She may be small but she can put up a fight!

Next up is Arachnid! (I made this design a long time ago, I may tweak it around a bit)

(I may combine arachnid and arachnia into one), she's a decepticon since she had no choice but to follow them when she was rescued. She was actually a scientist, but not a good one. She experimented on other cybertronians, to see how future generations could be upgraded. One of her subjects was Blitzwing, where she was trying to upgrade the t-cogs and other parts needed for a transformation so that Cybertronians could change into more than one thing. Blitzwing was her first test for this, and it didn't end so well, he couldn't control the transformations and he was just suffering in general. But after a few more tests on other cybertronians, she was successful. Now most of the young bots can transform into more than one thing because of her.

Next up is Arcee!

A smart bot, she was destined to do great things before the war, but she followed her "heart" instead. She and Skywarp were together for a while and she was happy, but their first official date, was also the day she could've been been accepted into the academy of her dreams. She loved Skywarp so much that she let go of her dream for him, but he never showed up. After that night, she promised that she would never love anyone again.

Next up is Thrust!

Underestimated by her brothers, Ramjet and Dirge, she was abandoned inside an abandoned factory when she was just created. Luckily, Shockwave found her in time before the whole building burned down. She always works her hardest to prove to her brothers that she's just as strong as them.

Next up is Smokescreen!

She's a smart bot! She's one of Hot Rod's closest friends and very close to Optimus. Optimus wanted to give the matrix to her after him, but the matrix didn't choose her, it chose Hot Rod instead. (She goes by any pronouns technically)

Next up is Termagax! (I made this design a while ago, I may change it up a bit)

She was Megaempress's mentor and mother figure!

There's some more, like Cyrak, Windblade, Red Alert, Flamewar, Chromia, Shadow striker, Miko, Nova Storm, Nacelle, etc.

[pluralsword]

hey y'all! we just finished a voice dub of one of our favorite issues of IDW1 especially for Arcee's (trans) narrative and arcs, and also it just has a really good plot of 'post-war' intrigue, and is the issue that introduced Aileron to the continuity, and Arcee's initial feelings towards her and newly arrived Camiens (after Windblade, Nautica, and Chromia, though her perspective probably applies to them too especially after the idealism she saw in Combiner Hunters), here you go :3 :

In this issue of Transformers' IDW1/IDW2005, "The Transgressors" (written by John Barber, edited by Carlos Guzman, Art by Andrew Griffith, colors by Josh Perez, letters by Tom B. Long), turmoil is afoot on Cybertron. The estranged brotherhood of Tracks & Needlenose is put to the test once more while Needlenose & the Decepticons allied with Galvatron vie for support from the ones in Iacon, tensely crossing paths with Way of Flame proselytizing Camiens Aileron, Sterling, & Swift who (currently) believe Optimus Prime to be a living god. Second in command of Autobots on Earth, Arcee, who provides the interior narration of this issue, continues her visit to Cybertron (after the Combiner Hunters one-shot) & is not particularly pleased with the current events, seeing the unrest & unhappiness of Decepticons whose dreams of conquest are easy to rekindle & the deification of her commander. She worries for the lost colony newcomers while struggling with taking a look back at her past from a tense exchange with Tracks, & the tumult that follows brings her to the governing halls of High Chancellor Starscream, elected leader of Cybertron who seems to be having a one-sided conversation with someone no one but he can see… & she pushes him to face the fact his authoritarianism will be his & Cybertron's undoing by bringing her conflict with one of the secret police to his doorstep. In the aftermath, wrangling wtih personal loss in the past & the bright hope she saw on the faces of the visiting Camiens, she resolves to make sure they never end up with the same pile of trouble & old wounds Cybertronians carry on average, much less herself…

Can't believe we're one of the first to voice dub Aileron! XD more than one of us definitely got a kick out of that.

"The Transformers" is an exclusive property of Hasbro. This video and the system who put together (us) & uploaded it make no claim therein to "The Transformers", (hence, the removal of nearly all of the dialogue from comic bubbles), & thus release this non-commercially with no monetary gain to be had (also some sounds from freesound.org credited at the end are only available on a non-commerical license).

This was video was just done to bring to life with sound a comic issue from the IDW1/IDW2005 run if for no other reason than for people who have struggled to read comics as text to be able to experience the story another way.CW Limb loss, minor robogore, occasional loud sound effects for typical transformer violence.

This dub for the sake of visual impact to the reader during Arcee's final pages of narration in this issue, draws on one panel each from The Transformers: Robots in Disguise #Annual 2012, "Primus: All Good Things", The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye #26, "No Exit: Dark Cybertron Chapter 6", & The Transformers: Lost Light #1, "Dissolution Part 1: Some Other Cybertron" to show people from Arcee's past she was close to she knows or thinks are dead. Hardhead & Anode (& of course, Lug is present even though it's not established in The Transformers: Optimus Prime #25, "Post" if Arcee knew her, it was just easier to show the situation where Arcee thought Anode died by including her, & to be honest given how close the two transfem Conjunx Endura treasure hunters are we struggle to believe that Anode wouldn't have at least mentioned her to Arcee at all), & two people who betrayed her long ago, Jhiaxus (among other things by not listening to her desires for her gender affirming surgery & putting her through unnecessary procedures to conform to rigid ideals & then abandoning her including to the side effects, with a frame she sought help from Anode with & has since iterated away from across reformats of her own parameters) & Galvatron, who became estranged from her in his love of hierarchy and pursuit of power, getting deeply involved in the cause of imperial progress of the differing schemes of Nova Prime, Jhiaxus, & Shockwave before fully going his own way as a warrior ruler seeking to conquer after Dark Cybertron.

While Arcee was not actually present for the 'death' of Anode nor the death of Lug in 1516 CE (don't worry she gets resurrected by her wife & Kaput) & Hardhead in 2014 CE (no such luck), she was aware of both events, and while her friendship with & medical trust for Anode was not intended when this was written (Anode had yet to even appear in canon, MTMTE was still going), "Transgressors" is easily read in that context, as you just heard. It's all in the reasons & emotions you ascribe to Arcee's words from your knowledge and understanding of her story when you read it.

Endless thanks to the people who keep freesound.org alive & well, & a special thank you to our (as in our system's) friends & loved ones who supported the endeavour of doing this dub, & to everyone else who loves EXRID / Robots in Disguise 2012 + Dark Cybertron + Transformers (2014) + Transformers: Optimus Prime + Transformers: Unicron & trans gal (or parallel assemblage) alien robots be they transformers or other dear mechanoids!

[brandwhorestarscream]

Reincarnation au

Oh my, Optimus, Prowl and Starscream?! 😂

I'm imagining the constructicons pampering their leader, and, considering that there are multiple sparklings, making little jokes about the "mini-gestalt"

Starscream has a lot of emotions about this, a lot. But he has the rest of the Aerie + Windblade, Wheeljack, Bumblebee to help(they are also discreetly taking precautions after the discovery). Cybertron's News media are going crazy

IDW Optimus is... reacting as well as can be expected of him, Ironhide (who is the only one I remember) by his side and helping as best he can.

The lost light is now setting up a mini daycare, of course megatron is still deciding (and talking to rung and ravange) but the triplets + drif and ratchet sparklings are still a small team

(Which of the triplets is pink and maroon?)

Im just gonna answer these point for point. Please note, singleton pregnancies for non-seeker mecha are the norm for this AU and Rodimus having triplets is an outlier. Everyone else is only expecting one

1. The constructicons certainly try to pamper Prowl, but he is not reciprocal. He's like a feral cat: he'll accept food and attention but if you try to touch him he'll hiss and bite you

2. Starscream kept the cycle under wraps for as long as he could, and he's not at all keen on letting anyone get too close. It takes a lot of pestering (and abusing Sky's warpdrive, let's be honest here) just for his trine to get into his quarters to look after him. Thundercracker lectures him on taking it easy and not working so hard as the carrying cycle progresses, and he + Skywarp have their servos full constantly running after their workaholic trine leader trying to get him to rest lmao

3. Optimus is... God, I don't even know. How would IDW OP react? It's not like he's opposed to having a sparkling, but it just feels too soon. It wasn't planned, and he's kind of overwhelmed by....... Everything. Sparklings are a lot, being a parent is a lot, and he's still got a crazy busy schedule despite not being an active political leader atm. Ironhide threatens to sit on him if he won't allow himself time to rest lmao

4. It takes a hunch of schedule shuffling but with Ultra Magnus on the case there's quickly an airtight schedule for bitty care that guarantees they'll all be supervised by at least 2 responsible adults at all times during the work day. It's a bit of a transition after the mamas finish with maternity leave (Ratchet only takes 2 days off before he's back in the medbay with bitty strapped to his back smh), but they make it work

4.5 Megatron is still having a crisis over his impending parenthood. This can go one of two ways: he's had sparklings before and lost contact with them thanks to the shitshow of Cybertron's system and it's a repressed trauma response, or he has first-time carrier jitters combined with infinite guilt about The War and worrying his sparkling won't be able to have a good life with his name attached to them 🤭

5. Roddy's triplets are G1 ("Pinky"), TFA ("Maroon"), and Cyberverse ("Lil Red"). Mama Rodimus hasn't given them names yet (aka idk what to call them lol) so for now they're just called their colors. Kinda like Nightprowler was dubbed Lil P for the longest time

[they-hermes]

gladiator background for megatron is so funny bc remember how in combiner wars show op and windblade found him in an abandoned arena and he immediately wants to fight optimus. that man yearns for the fucking pit

[royallogana]

The royal court is now in session. Today's case Fashion in Elysian Roses.

Remember when I said the roses can act as capes or any other fabric? Hey so I made it official Uncanny (an original au in the makes(is the mother universe for Elysian Roses.

So before we get farther in today's case, let me give you a brief history of uncanny and how it came to be. Many years ago near the beginning of the A.D era. The Gods of all religions and species decided to walk amongst the humans but still let them know that they were not of them by making themselves look human but still not. But, every plan has a backfire plan, because of the gods walking amongst the humans some legends and stories came to life; many humans became legends, stories and even twisted amalgamations of the people they used to be. Energy sources of all sorts became contaminated of all types of magic, given humans and gods the ability to; hunt, walk and copy the gods and humans perfectly.

Ok back to the case, Fashion in Elysian Roses.

So because of them being in the world of Uncanny, they have the ability to look human but still maintain their own height if they want to.

Primus and Unicron

They are the only one all with the items about to be mentioned but mainly the cape.

Primes

Old or new the primes wear a veil (back or front), a crown, a slash. Only the reign primes wear a front and back veil with a crown this is while in human form, their hair grows to floor length but doesn't touch the ground it levitates an inch off the ground. While in Cybertronian form the roses with her vines are presently showing, the human form looks like more of an embroidery design. The only primes allowed to follow the reigning prime rule is Optimus because both Unicron and Primus give him the title of Peacemaker and Prima because he is the only biological child of Primus and Unicron (Yes I now this is incest but these are the only two that it and humans came from incest before they stopped and also I don't support incest.) Rodimus is also the only Prime that only wears the back veil and crown. Oh and the crown carries the number of gems equivalent to what number prime they are.

Chromiums

They wear everything as the prime but bear the horns of Unicron instead as a symbol of war and chaos. They are hand picked by Unicron himself except Megatron he gains the title of Chromium by being the only Cybertronian to maintain their sanity until death. Unicron officially named Megatron 'The Dominator, The Unmaker incarcerated, The Destroyer's Chosen and The Reaper.' Megatron is called his favourite adopted grandson from Prima. They're only 6 Chromiums, Megatron being the "last" and longest reigning one. Primus learn from your husband on how he keeps them alive please.

Kings and Queens

Kings only wear a crown and a cape but the cape has a symbol and colour of the national gem of the planet they rule. Starscream and Chromia are the ones who came up with this idea. Kings can be any gender, you can be a femme and still be a king.

Queens wears a front and back veil with a circlet bearing the national gem of the planet. Queens are the Conjunix Enduras (? I think that's what it's called) no matter the "gender".

City speakers

They would wear a veil over the mouth. In human form they must carry some part of their hair in a bun of some sort. Elder speakers wear a fan-like crown. The only expectation of this is Windblade because she is surprisingly happily married (I will call it marry until I get the right name) to Starscream, she wears a combination of the back and mouth cover veil and both crowns.

Primes and Chromiums apprentices(inspired by @energ00n au)

The helpers mainly wear whatever they feel like but in their prime and chromium colours. They wear a sash and a crown-like hair piece. Prima's one is different, he got inspired by Hermes (yeah I headcannon those two are best friends always gossiping) and uses a wing headband but his feathers are closed up and Hermes is open and ready for flight

Army(Commanders and veterans)

They have special ribbons (including hair bows) as long as you were in a war you get a ribbon, similar to humans they have badges telling you the rank. Hair bows tell you what war and what faction you were in. For example Optimus has a Crimson Red ribbon with Morpheus Blue and Megatron has the same thing but only the red is Royal Purple.

Army (Soldiers)

They all must have their weapons close to so it would be gloves. Scouts would wear theirs as a belt any style belt.

Civilians

They wear theirs as a draped shawl with the rose on the top.

If you have any questions just ask and I will try my best to answer.

Just easier to reply this way @grimlocksword due to the reply word limit.

I never thought of Animated as being too dramatic, but it did start leaning that way in its final season. The concept of Autobots not typically being flyers seems to be born from G1 trying to establish this also, if you ignore the pilot having the Autobots flying. The Decepticons having the ability to fly in Robot Mode was pry the most consistent thing G1 did, with the show later having the Aerialbots and Stunticons created to compensate for what the Autobots and Decepticons lacked.

Animated tries to copy this idea, but it too flubs it up by Ratchet claiming Autobots can’t fly despite knowing full well Omega Supreme and his brood could, along with Swoop. That Jetfire and Jetstorm can fly being due to copying Starscream’s schematics isn’t too out there, but I’m also wondering why the Autobots didn’t already HAVE Decepticon schematics left over from the war so they could freely make flyers for exploration purposes. For that matter, why couldn’t Perceptor and Wheeljack make a working whittled down version of Omega Supreme’s flying ability and apply it to other Autobots.

It would appear Aligned Autobots don’t have these odd limitations since Blades and Whirl were able to become helicopters with no strings attached, and RiD15 introduced Windblade, Twinferno, Stormshot and a pair of jet combiners in the toy line. So the TFP Autobots are apparently stupid if none them thought to at least try to Transform into something that flies. It’s well documented Prime suffered a lot of behind the scenes problems most notably Hasbro and the show writers having different, conflicting views on what to do, making the point of an “Aligned” approach useless.

Prime was also too ambitious and big for its britches, it just didn’t have a solid identity while its prototype RiD stage meanwhile had a stronger Bayformers style that actually sounded more interesting than what we got. I stand by Prime’s greatest strength was simply getting Peter and Frank back to reprise their roles because I don’t think either are returning post RiD15 anytime soon due to budget and frankly age. Peter sadly isn’t getting any younger, god bless his delightful lil’ soul.

RiD15’s primary problem was being billed as a direct sequel to the grittier Prime, when it actually works much better as a soft sequel-spin off to Rescue Bots aimed at slightly older elementary kids, something the writers clearly seemed to agree with due to stronger references to Rescue Bots, Sideswipe visiting Griffin Rock to apprehend a Cyclone Mini-Con, and Blurr being a teammate in RiD for awhile. Another problem that sticks out is why, in-story, are the Decepticons primarily animal themed, as the show never tries to explain this, and in some ways seems just as confused as to why this is also. It’s why I will die on the hill this should’ve involved Onyx Prime as the primary villain, who manipulated things to send a Beast army to Earth to wipe it clean and make it a paradise for Beast type Transformers, but Steeljaw intended to instead turn Earth into a new Decepticon base of operations to restart the war against the Autobots HIS way. I’ve seen some fans try to say all the animal Decepticons are Shockwave experiments, due to the Dinobots and Predacons in FoC and Prime, but I’ve never been a fan of this idea as I don’t like Shockwave being the only one responsible for why Cybertron has Beast Mode Transformers (as well as fans ignoring Onyx Prime, the guy who ushered in animal robots on Cybertron in this canon).

If you’re worried about woke stuff, I should bring up that had the staff had their way, the Transformers species in Cyberverse would’ve all been gender-fluid non-binary, changing between male and female bodies as much as vehicle or beast modes. They admitted as much in Twitter Q&A’s

How that would’ve worked as a toy I have no idea. Probably flip down Bumblebee’s male head, and a curvier lipstick wearing female head takes its place? They gave the Lugnut gender bend lipstick so that’s not out of place.

EarthSpark is what you get by trying to combine Rescue Bots and MTMTE IDW together. It’s not a perfect marriage, and they wound up focusing on ideas most people don’t care about in Transformers. It was developed during the height of modernized DEI, but the backlash of Nightshade and its already slipshod butterfly chasing writing caused kids and casuals to reject it, and for Hasbro and Nick to restructure the show haphazardly into a traditional Autobots vs Decepticons conflict to rebound, only for the people who did like what ES was doing to reject that. The show Last Jedi’d itself, and if it does continue, it’ll probably Rise of Skywalker itself further making a product everyone just hates more than Energon and prefers to forget happened.

Now I’ve been on record saying I’m fine with Nightshade, I like them being a geeky scientist owl, but I do think the show overfixated on their gender identity too much, causing the current problem. The often overlooked thing about Nightshade originally not WANTING to Transform wouldn’t have been popular if that was retained, and Jawbreaker over thinking on what he wanted to turn into I think only made people more annoyed by him. Not helped is the guidebook for the show says that a Transformer can’t re-scan and whatever they initially scanned on Earth is permanent… something the show clearly didn’t go with for Megatron (who rescanned a helicopter from presumably his Earth tank mode) and Hashtag (who took on an off road truck later on after being a surveillance van).
