#decepticon technology

Being his preferred weapon of choice, it did not take soundwave long to decide to undergo the necessary structural modifications to integrate the resonance blaster into his body as the integrated ranged weapon his forearms may reconfigure into. It certainly helps that as a devastating sonic weapon, the resonance blaster fits extremely well as an addition into the decepticon spy master's arsenal

Earthspark cryptid episode but it becomes incredibly clear it's Tarantulas again

Lowkey, I think one of my favorite little things about Rescue Bots is how we get to learn a little more about Optimus when he shows up. Like, not war stuff or Orion Pax stuff, but just little things about Optimus.

One of his favorite Earth stories is The Little Engine That Could. Does he read in his spare time and if so, how did he find Little Engine?

He tells Heatwave that he has also been learning from humans. What has he learned? The phrase "Nothing much, double dutch." Who the fuck taught him that? My money's on Miko. Jack would not have the audacity to add that to Prime's vernacular.

He has a motherfuckin' rocket powered car carrier capable of hauling four bots. And since Team Prime had four four-wheelers on the team prior to Darkness Rising, you could reasonably assume that he has used it with Cliff, Bee, Bulk, and Ratch

Optimus knows what a pogo stick is. That isn't anything noteworthy, I just think it's funny.

welp, summer vacation's over

[readmarkclippastecollage]

Some of y’all are out here training AI to mimic humans.

The rest of us are out here are training on AI so we can quickly spot Decepticons.

@thevisjex @azileuk pls do this with shrappy and welds, I need to know what mags would think about them

maggie’s hud readouts are so fucking funny to me as a concept. reblog and tag this post with what you think they would say about you or your OC(s).

[tfp-is-my-lifeblood-lol]

Can we talk about this Rescue Bots episode (Spellbound) because I need to appreciate how TERRIFYING it is??? Especially considering it's cannon in the Aligned Universe. This is some A+ horror.

Like damn, some of Griffin Rock's technology is more powerful than even the Decepticon's tech.

Can you IMAGINE if those creepy mind-control cell phones were used in TFP?

Legit mind control that effects humans AND Cybertronians?

And it's SO UNSETTLINGLY subtle, too. The victim's voices sound like their normal selves but just SLIGHTLY off. *shutter* The voice actors did such a good job.

Just IMAGINE that in Prime.

I feel like Optimus would probably be immune (because the Matrix of Leadership is goated) but can you imagine the Jasper Trio getting mind-controlled, and all their guardians + Ratchet know SOMETHING is off, but not what? Then, slowly, the mind control spreads to the Bots? Or vice versa, the Bots go first, and the humans are like: "Something's up with my guardian."

Kinda wild that Invasion of the Body Snatchers shit 100% exists in TFP's world. Felt like I needed to acknowledge that.

Is this gonna be my next TFP headcanons post? Feeling inspired.🤔

[bad-tf-fic-ideas]

(387) TFP: When Starscream defects from the Decepticons, he avoids MECH, avoids the Autobots, and instead gets his energon by harassing a graduate school attached to a little-regarded rural university into helping him build his energon scanners.

Important additional points:

There is a fistfight over who gets to help the alien develop new geological scanning technology. This is, Starscream thinks, just as he deserves.

Within two weeks, he's begun exchanging condescending cybersecurity consultations for energon crystals. He has not yet figured out that by doing this he's fixing problems — he just likes the sound of his own voice and loves an attentive audience.

Carnivac's weapon of choice is an anti thermal cannon, a weapon designed to slow down the molecular motion of its target, thereby freezing them

[they-hermes]

the transformers fandom really needs to talk more about brainstorm as a double agent in order to access decepticon technology for his little science project, because could you imagine? try lifting your hand and name off as many decepticon scientists from the top of your head that aren't just shockwave. who's fucking lab did that man invade? who did have to talk to in order to get his resources? did he have to enlist? did he personally work alongside shockwave? the implications are astounding

[spicymotte]

I wanna know more about how Transformers seeing us like hamsters. Well to be more direct, I would like to hear more of your thoughts about humans and Transformers shenanigans or what not.

Aside from all the fighting against Decepticons and the usually very aggressive human military, I think Transformers and humans have an absolutely brilliant potential to coexist. Oh, and the fact that they probably find us tiny, organic creatures kind of cute is hilarious to me lol. What starts out as a huge underestimation on the part of the Transformers of humans, who have no advanced technology yet, becomes more as soon as both sides start to actually communicate with each other: I think it's clear from all the TF Media entries that humans make up for this disadvantage with their indomitable human spirit and wide range of emotions. So, in my opinion: the Autobots absolutely love humans. They really do. Humans are free and easy and incredibly entertaining - and also very, very strange. They have weird organic needs, social rituals as well as social structures; to any xeno-anthropologist, Planet Earth would be like Christmas a thousand times over lol. But these very complex social structures are exactly what the Autobots like so much about this young and inexperienced race. Despite their low level of technology and science, the human social veins are extremely mature, though still in a state of juvenile aggression and blindness. Despite these very problems, not unknown to the Transformers, the parallels are so clear and so poignant: in the end, it all comes down to the heart, or the spark, and what you make of what you have. The vast majority of humans choose compassion and sympathy, peace and unity - exactly what an advanced race should be doing. So the potential is undeniably there. So, yeah, I guess there are no limits to the shenanigans. As I am far from having worked my way through all the available media on the Transformers franchise (I am currently reading More Than Meets the Eye), I am looking forward to seeing what is yet to come. What I personally find most interesting are the little funny moments when cultures (mechanical/organic) collide - as well as the flip side of the coin, when humans are helplessly exposed to a gigantic robot conflict that has to take place here on Earth. Both are so much fun to think about and leave a lot of space for interpretations!

also this is literally any TF and his favorite human. fight me over this I dare you

[pod-the-panda]

The Rescue Bots are very much posted all over social media in Griffin Rock, and with how much both the Autobots, Decepticons, and the government look on social media for evidence of cybertronians, you would think they would find out about the Rescue Nots. But no.

So, either A) Griffin Rock has just, miraculously managed to avoid all main land online services??? Or, more likely, B) everyone has just accepted that Griffin Rock is so technologically advanced that the idea to question anything they say has never even crossed their mind. “Griffin Rock says they are machine robots. Well, what do I know!”

"Hm, that car over there is suspicious, we better check it out. Might be an alien.”

“Oh hey, this is a video of a fire truck turning into a robot and talking to the people around them. Oh well, that's just Griffin Rock. Haha.”

In conclusion, we should all fear Griffin Rock.

Someone help Starscream, Megatron took the braincell with him.

The Decepticons may be a bunch of idiots, but they're his idiots (/affectionate).

The Decepticons are on earth mostly to look for the allspark, but Starscream and Lugnut are also very keen on finding any sign of Megatron. Preferably alive, but even a shell would give them some sort of closure that their leader isn't somewhere out there, waiting.

Blackarachnia is lurking around on earth, expanding on her research as much as she can with the technology she has to work with. Her greatest project was lost when Megatron fell, and it's hard to find the resources to try again. For now, she's returned to her techno-organic research while helping the rest of the cons with the allspark search, but progress is slow when she's so unique. And she'd never dream of subjecting another mech to her fate. It helps that Starscream is there to help out with her research. In the thick of the war, she almost forgot that he used to be a scientist.

Blitzwing and Lugnut spend a lot of time exploring the Earth, Blitzwing for the thrill of exploration and Lugnut for the sake of looking for clues about Megatron. As such, they are almost always the first to hear about any crises happening outside of Detroit, and will call the others for help with disaster relief. After all, the Decepticons were formed to fight for life and freedom, and that goes for organic life as well. Megatron would be so proud (and he is, later when the allspark key brings him back online in Sumdac's lab.)

Of the Decepticons, Lugnut and Blitzwing are the most knowledgeable about human culture. Blitzwing definitely annoys the hell out of Starscream with memes.
