I'm trying to develop the relationship between Shockwave and I, thinking about us as partners in science, working on a project together, and then my brain threw out "What if you died and Shockwave destroyed the project you two had been working on in a fit of rage/grief" and now I'm sad

[pastelpaperplanes]

It took me WAAAAAAAAY too long to draw the AOS crew.... Thank my patrons for suggesting me to draw them! AOS Scotty will always be my fave <3 Btw, for those who've been asking, I'll put for sale all the movie artworks I've been doing after I finish all the pre-order stuff. I want to be organized. Store Patreon Ko-Fi memberships

[claraoswalds]

It's racist, my dear, to be blunt. People come from outside, they think we're all witches and druids. For God's sake, child, you walked into a piece of string!

The original backstory for the robot documentary AU was that Ratchet was plagued with visions of all of the ways Optimus dies, and fixates on the idea that Optimus can’t die if Orion never becomes Optimus, so he stages a crash on Earth to trap them both there. Bumblebee was hiding in the storage and Ratchet only discovered this after they had already left. Bee was also there in the visions of Earth and Ratchet wanted Orion to not have only him as company, so he went on with the plan anyways and just secured Bee in a bunch of seatbelts to be safe

Ratchet was also originally going to be a lot more off-putting, more cryptic like. But this plot was kinda confusing if they couldn’t even talk, and also I wanted Ratchet to be cute and silly, it’s kinda hard to do that when you’re in constant fear of visions of the future driving you insane. So now Orion is the cryptid lol

I also wanted to use the designs that were used once in the activity books for fun but I haven't been doing that lately so I forgot whoops

[cybertron-after-dark]

Hey gamers, anyone wanna tell me what in the goddamn

💖Fuck💖

Is going on in the tf Kre-O comics? Because uhhh

That's just. Optimus trying to cover his tits. And Knockout dressing Megatron up in lingerie. While Breakdown appears to be cheering him on.

Like I know the Japanese side of transformers canon tends to somehow be even gayer and weirder than it is in the states but that is a CANON, TAKARA-SANCTIONED image of megatron in lingerie.

Like if you told me this was from the robofucker girlies I wouldn't bat an eye but you're telling me this was PLUBLISHED??

[cluescorner]

I'm back on my bullshit

Optimus: I've loved you in every universe, even if you twist into someone I should hate.

Soundwave: I've loved you in every universe, even if it never ends well for me.

Rodimus: Every other universe can rot for all I care, I love you in this one.

The more I look at him the more I fall in love with him.

Help.

[teecupangel]

Normally, Desmond is sent back in time to mess with things.

But what if it wasn't him?

Like, maybe Desmond couldn't go back in time himself but he could, in the split second he touched the apple, send someone else.

What if one of his ancestors went back in time? (Upon their deaths or something.)

I imagine a young Altair (who might be using a fake name) running around Italy with a tired Ezio following like a worried mother hen. (No, Claudia, he is not hovering he is just concerned) He ends up taking Altair under his wing (No, Claudia, it is not adoption.)

Or maybe Altair ends up in Bayek's time, Oh! Or Connor in Ezio's time. (Edward and Ezio would either get along badly or be too powerful if they were together in the same time period.)

These boys ruin the timeline and somehow save the world/future by simply stumbling through everything with no clue what's going on. and of course the power of friendship and really sharp blades.

Desmond and Clay are laughing their asses off in the afterlife as their ancestors destroy centuries worth of carefully calculated plans. (They might also manipulate things a little to help.)

And the time traveling ancestors for the most part, are doing the best they can in their current situation.

They are freaking the fuck out the whole time but are excellent at hiding it.

Poor Ezio.

(No, Altair, you can't kill that person because that have information we need, yes, I'm sure, Claudia don't encourage him.)

Well… How about we add some… ‘order’ to the chaos?

Desmond only had a fraction of a second to send his ancestor back in time.

And he hesitated.

He didn’t know which one to send.

Should it be Altaïr? Altaïr always felt like he would find out what to do even if he was given only minimal clues.

But Ezio was his prophet, the one he had been with the longest…

Ratonhnhaké:ton though… he deserves answers. He deserves the truth.

And when he woke up…

In that endless sea of gray…

The first word he heard were…

“’Morning. Which fucked up timeline do you want to hear first?”

Desmond sat and blinked as Clay stood before him, arms crossed with a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes.

“Uuuhh…”

“Do you want to hear about how Edward Kenway managed to save his grandson and his grandson’s mother from the fires that should have killed her?” Clay asked before adding, “Oh… and he’s learned that his son’s a Templar by the way. At least, one of his old friends believe he’s actually Edward Kenway. If you think the Kenway Family Drama is bad when you were reliving Connor’s memories, then you gotta see the top tier drama that’s happening with Edward and Haytham right now.”

“Or maybe you want to hear about how Connor got kicked into Ezio’s time? He has no idea what’s happening but he got appointed as Federico’s combat instructor. He knows jackshit, by the way, about the tragedy that’s about to happen but, hey, at least Giovanni believes he’s an Assassin from another country or something. Oh.” Clay rubbed his chin as he added, “Connor doesn’t like how close Giovanni is with the Medici by the way. Lorenzo reminds him a bit of Washington or maybe he’s projecting, who knows?”

“Maybe you’ll like to know how your dear prophet is doing? Well, he’s doing badly in preserving the damn timeline that’s for sure. Let’s see… he got in touch with Alamut and managed to bluff his way into making them believe he’s the mentor of a destroyed Assassin branch from the crusader lands, he got the mentor’s permission to make his own branch in Levant, made a deal with said mentor to become a thorn in Al Mualim’s side and find out what he’s hiding, adopted Altaïr and even went as far as adopt Abbas because he believed he could ‘change’ things.” Clay was quiet for a moment before he added, “Oh and his branch is in the underground temple in Jerusalem so he has the Apple with him already.”

“Then there’s Altaïr.” Clay said with such… annoyance Desmond was actually afraid of what Altaïr had done. Clay rubbed the side of his forehead as he started, “See, they can only be transported into what counts as their past so we can’t have something like Altaïr being pushed into his future in Ezio’s time or something. And, since your only instruction to the Moraes was to ‘change the past’, they had to improvise with Altaïr considering he’s more or less the starting point. They had to pick another one of your ancestors who was important to your past and this world’s future so…”

“Altaïr’s been sent to the time of the Isu-Human war and his knowledge of the POEs and getting unconstrained access to the POEs at their full power… well… let’s just say…” Clay’s tone was drier than the desert as he said, “The Isus didn’t know what hit them.”

Desmond could only stare at Clay as he said.

“Soooo… which one do you want to contact first as their ‘patron’?”

Krang Will Rise

I have a couple theories, regarding the Krang.

There is such little evidence for it, that I don’t even think there’s evidence against it. But hear me out.

I think only Krang prime can abolish mystics. It’s not an ability tied to every Krang, only to him.

Thé Krang value strength above all else, putting no remorse into losing those deemed weak. As such, wouldn’t that make Krang Prime, their leader, the strongest? And what better way to deem yourself the strongest than carrying a unique ability that takes away your enemies greatest potential threat.

Another reason: it seems there are three types of krang. The biotech, the warrior, and the interrogator. I’m not sure how much they overlap, but I do think they carry specialities. Given krang brother is most often asked to- spread their krangness. He is responsible for krangification, domain expansion, and manipulating the technology they have (Nevermind how all these abilities make him the perfect match for Donnie)(also think Krang Brother is mute). Krang sister is the most skilled and best fighter. I’m sure she outclasses the boys in that regard. I’d go as far to say she’s second in command, leading the charge while brother krang stays behind (her role as commander matches as Commander O’Niels opposite in war, hence their quarrel). Leaving Krang Prime, who has the ability to dig into a persons mind, manipulate their captives, control the hive mind, and abolish mystic powers. Perhaps rare amongst Krang, this makes them the perfect leader (do I even need to explain why he’s Leo’s main antagonist, his opposite in every way?).

I mentioned how krang brother is likely responsible for krangification, which leads me to a second point. Clearly, from the start of the invasion to the end in the bad timeline, the krangs numbers increased 100 fold. From 3 lone survivors to hundreds if not more. Which has led me to wonder how krang are created. I have two theories: 1) in the bad timeline, the krang in the prison dimension didn’t die. Meaning that when Leo grabbed the key in the movie, and altered time, the resulting explosion caused the krang to be wiped out. 2) the probably more likely one- they repopulated.

Thé krang are clearly parasitic creatures. Meaning their reproduction is likely from a source, that source being humans. “Recreating this world in the image of krang.” Krang possession is simple, and any krang can do it, latch a bit of themselves to a human and start the battle of wills. Krang dogs are amother easier way to make more, a quick process that mangles the hosts body. We see this happen with the foot clan. But if you want powerful krang, with no chance to turn on you, and to truly become one with krang, you transform them.

Raph was found in a bubble. In a slimy krang cocoon stuck to the ceiling and filled with glowing yellow goop. He was going to be turned, transformed into Krang. And he was going to be powerful, his source material being stronger than most. He was- until the process was interrupted. Notice how the krangification didn’t come from the outside, it wasn’t attached, it was growing inside him. And, unlike the other krangified peoples we saw, his eye turned purple. It wasn’t just covered in hoop with the yellow hive mind eye, it was purple. Let it be a testament to Raphs inner strength cause he very well may have accomplished a feat deemed impossible to overcome. The process wasn’t supposed to be reversible, he wasn’t supposed to be able to break free, he was krang now. Krang Prime could feel his struggle, sense his resistance, and hear his thoughts as the turtle fought it off.

Once you turned, there was no going back. You were krang. Your old life didn’t matter. Your old friends didn’t matter. You had a new family. A new purpose to fulfill. New powers to explore. And given treasures for the hunt. The mark of a krang and a fucking massive piece of armor. This way of reproduction was useful when hunting new prey, as their knowledge of the species past through, truly allowing them to know their enemies and conquer planets. Krang can never die.

Then again. I could be wrong.

[just-someone-online]

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.

[hallucinateonpaperspines]

anotjer way to hurt cybertronians is with schrapnel granades. Stuff them into the joins between the armor and put the puna.

Y'all scare me...

furiously scribbling notes

At this point, I'm gonna need to put in an acknowledgment for some of these war crimes, because these war crimes are acoming.

[melishade]

I can't get the idea of Elita-1 and Optimus getting married mid Rumble. Like, who married them? When exactly during the Rumble did this happen? How did everyone react to the most badly timed proposal ever?

If they got married around the beginning, then they would look for a priest, have the world's fastest wedding, and then run into battle the moment they stop kissing.

If it happens during battle before the Autobots arrive, then they'll have to improvise. I like to imagine that Megatron marries them, but what authority would he have for that? "By the power in me vested by...Unicron, I guess." Maybe they'll ask Hanji to do it since she's the commander. What would also be funny is that the Autobots and Council would find out about the wedding through Megatron's memories. Which would be the last thing anyone on Cybertron was expecting to find in Megatron's mind or how they expected to find out about Optimus and Elita's engagement.

But if it happens after the Autobots get there, then their already hectic day is about to get a while lot weirder. Optimus is alive, there's a world like Earth that's has giant cannibalistic humans, Megatron is there too and he's good now, Elita-1 is also alive, the end of the world is happening, and there's a wedding happening during the apocalypse. Nothing could top how crazy this day has been for everyone. There's no way everyone isn't distracted by the most bloody wedding ever.

This day would simultaneously be the best and worst day of Optimus life. Likely more worst than best, but he married the love of his life, so there's one pro at least.

Previous Episode of the Beloved Timeline

Yes! The most POTC coded marriage throwing everyone for a loop!

But it would not happen before, it would happen during the fight. Because here's the thing: Optimus and Elita have agreed to not become sparkbonded unless the war was over. Unless it was absolutely safe to do so. But if they are faced with the Rumbling, and screw it, in this timeline they have to face the Rumbling and an Eren with the powers of the Armored Titan, they know that it's certain death. One of them could very well die in this moment. And they've been separated before. They can't do it again. Even if just for a moment, they know what it's like to be of one being.

So here's how this will go:

The Rumbling gets triggered, and Megatron and Elita jump into the fight together before Optimus. The two have managed to be on the same page at the very least and know that they can't live in another world falling to ruin. So they go first, Optimus follows soon after. They get thrown off and the three of them end up having that conversation of reconciliation. Elita is obviously worried about Optimus' mindset in regards to Eren. She feels guilty that she didn't stop him in time, and she felt sympathy for him, but he caused too much damage and he refused reason. She was on the same page as Megatron: let Megatron do the deed and save humanity.

So the three go to Eren's titan form to stop him, but Optimus doesn't try to save survivors in a panic this time around. Elita is there to grab and ground him so the trio can focus on the titan threat. And just as they're about to get overwhelmed, Ultra Magnus' ship comes in to help blast the threat away and give them all some room. And not only are the Autobots surprised to have confirmation that Optimus was alive, but Hanji and Onyankopon neglected to bring up the fact that Elita was alive too! And then this is also the moment majority find out that Elita and Optimus are lovers!

Smokescreen: Optimus, Elita One is your conjunx?!

Miko: I can't believe Optimus gets laid!

Jack: MIKO!

The two teams split off like in the main timeline. Optimus and Elita do remain on the titan while Megatron is taking care of stuff on the ground with Ultra Magnus. The rest of the teams remain the same. But as everyone is fighting, Optimus is the one that asks Elita to be sparkbonded. And his comm. link is still on so everyone hears it and is either flabbergasted, excited, or annoyed as hell! They are in the middle of a fight for humanity! WHAT ARE YOU DOING OPTIMUS?! And Optimus just tells her truthfully that if this is the end, just for a moment, let's experience what it is to be truly one.

Elita is overwhelmed with emotion. She wants to focus on the fight, but she's recognizing how dangerous this is. There are high risks in being sparkbonded. If one of them dies, the other goes through tremendous torment, being severed from their other half. But the thought of being separated from Optimus regardless of if they were sparkbonded or not filled her with great fear. Just for one moment, let them experience this moment together. Elita shouts over the comm. link for someone to actually marry them. Now it's Optimus' turn to be taken aback. That takes up more time than the sparkbonding! But then:

Ultra Magnus: Now is not the time-!

Hanji: Levi will do it!

Levi: The fu-! WHY ME?!

Hanji: THIS IS PAYBACK FOR NOT TELLING ME ABOUT OPTIMUS HAVING A GIRLFRIEND! I WILL COACH YOU JUST DO IT!

Levi: Why not Megatron?!

Megatron: Elita will kill me if I do it! And I’m the least qualified!

So Levi is Barbosa in this situation!

So as they are all fighting, Levi is repeating what Hanji is saying everyone is fighting. Levi keeps on getting interrupted before he can finish what Hanji is saying and just screams at them to:

Now I’m going back the fandom interpretation of the sparkbond, where both parties open their chests to reveal their sparks and let their energies mingle together. So Optimus and Elita kiss, open their chests, and officially become sparkbonded. As they do, they feel each others memories, their thoughts, their feelings. They have officially become one.

Optimus and Elita release each other, and Optimus feels a sense of urgency from Elita before she strikes a puppet titan that was behind him. And now because they are sparkbonded, the two are fighting much more in sync now. For a moment, Optimus able to forget for a moment the spark break he’s feeling and be in the moment.

Until Bumblebee, Smokescreen, Miko, Annie, and Ymir are thrown off the Founding Titan. Elita bolts and manages to grab Ymir before she plummets below, but Annie isn’t so lucky, and this time, she’s killed by the Colossal Titans below. Jean still loses his leg, forcing the remaining humans to get him out of there, leaving Optimus to help Elita and Ymir. Megatron comes in with the Star Saber and Optimus uses it to decapitate Eren’s Founding Titan, but the Titan shifter himself manages to survive by moving the source of the power to his head like in the main story line.

Now as Optimus is engaging Eren alone, Elita can feel his hesitance when it’s coming to actually killing him. She can feel guilt, doubt, sorrow. She catches a few glimpses of Optimus’ memories of him and Eren, and she finally understands why he couldn’t let Eren go. How could he? But then Eren breaks Optimus’ mask and Elita has to go in to protect Optimus while Eren is having a breakdown.

So it’s Elita vs Eren while everyone else is either trying to assist her or take care of the puppet titans. Elita demands to know why as she’s fighting Eren! Why would Eren go through all of this?! Optimus loves you! How could you?! Meanwhile, Eren is hesitant about landing a painful blow on Elita, even if he could find an opening. He saw the marriage in the Paths and the sparkbond. He has no idea what damage will happen if he hurts Elita severely. But he gets over his doubt the minute he gets overwhelmed by everyone else and launches the attack that kills Connie. He knew Connie longer that he knew Elita. He shouldn’t have qualms about killing her. Not anymore.

Eren launches a spear at Elita while she’s distracted, but Megatron jumps in and takes the hit instead of doing it for Bumblebee like in the main timeline. Elita is genuinely worried about Megatron staying alive, but feels pain in her chest and a sinking feeling in her gears. Elita turns and stairs in horror to see Optimus and Eren having stabbed each other, Optimus landing the more lethal blow via mid decapitation. Optimus kills Eren and the source of the Titan power in the same manner. And as Optimus is screaming out in sorrow, Elita gets a double whammy because she can see and feel his despair.

And then she feels emptiness as Optimus collapses from his injuries.

A few notes:

-Optimus survives. Calm down. Elita is constantly waiting on Cybertron for Optimus to wake up. She feels Optimus’ strength grow each day, but the emptiness she felt when Optimus collapsed filled her with so much terror.

-Also, Kenshin’s whole family survives. Before the Rumbling, Elita warned to royal family to go as far away from Paradis as possible until she gives the okay. So the family is far enough when Optimus stops the Rumbling, thus saving all three of them.

-The council does see footage and Megatron’s memories, but from the footage of the Rumbling is where they see Optimus and Elita sparkbond. Majority of the council is shocked, Jazz however is like:

Because he was friends with Optimus before the war, so he had an idea about Elita but wasn’t sure if the two were dating. But seeing them sparkbonded gives him the biggest vindication ever!

-The Survey Corps demand an after party once everything has calmed down since there’s still political fallout.

-Primus and the Primes celebrate Optimus and Elita��s sparkbond in the Paths.

Sorry everybody, had to do it. XD the joke is in the comic panel text if the meaning is unclear due to this being a variant of the meme format. Arcee sure has long days sometimes huh, glad she has determination, wisdom, trust, and love to get through it. If you're stumped check under the cut:

This is a variant of the Loss meme, the loss also being her and her family's long days

Was Good Omens season 2 set during 2019? Who can say? Maybe Neil Gaiman, but probably not the Amazon Prime marketing department... (?!)

From Aziraphale & Crowley's Timeline of Interconnectedness - released yesterday by Prime Video's YouTube channel.

They're also rather vague about some of the other dates, and scenes from the present day of seasons 1 and 2 are mixed together. I assume this is just weird marketing. Unless it's a Clue? 😅

Edit: Neil says "First time I've seen it and it seems to think Season 1 and Season 2 all happen in 2019, doesn't it?"

I'm going to file this under the "wibbly wobbly timey wimey" category of Good Omens shenanigans...

With thanks to members of the @ineffable-detective-agency for pointing this out!
