re: that post about the lack of enrichment in trucks

i bring yet another megop au where op is another depressed fellow whose EM field is always emitting gloomy and tired vibes. vs megatron who is at his happiest when hauling materials and messing with his coworkers/friends

they haven't seen each other in years since the war ended and they signed all these treaties and paperwork !

Transformers ONE [SPOILERS] The First Fight of Two Legends...

I have managed to get these screenshots and it wasn't easy... Would you guys have change their fates or leave it be due to we probably know what will happen? You know what, I'll make that a poll later on 😆

part three of me losing my mind over the tfone storyboards because i somehow completely missed the ones zhi kang posted for optimus vs megatron and the one where the quartet were friends from the start (guest appearance ASTROTRAINNNN THE GOATTTT) and buddy i have two things to say about these storyboards: OW, FUCK? and ohhhh my god of course orion's a little bit of a geeky nerd.

i mean come on, frat boy coded though he be, it takes a certain mettle to consistently risk your life for some data records—a mettle i dub the unquenchable thirst of history nerds. he definitely knows there's a constellation out there with his name.

but back to the angsty one (obviously). MOTHERFUCKER I DID A REDRAW FOR A SCREENCAP OF MEGATRON'S EXPRESSION WHEN OPTIMUS CAME BACK WITH THE THOUGHT IN MIND OF "i wonder if megatron was briefly happy his friend returned under all those conflicted emotions before he realised that what came back was a prime" and youre telling me he was gonna call him by his fucking name? dawg. dawg im done. dawg i cant do this no more.

AND THEN TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, IN THIS STORYBOARD, AFTER MEGATRON'S DEFEAT OPTIMUS STILL OFFERS MEGATRON A HAND? OF FRIENDSHIP? OF REDEMPTION? OF A FUTURE TOGETHER? yeah that's the "i can fix him" mf i know. which hurts EVEN MORE knowing that what ended up in the final cut was optimus resigning himself to the fact he's already too far gone. daaaaaaWWWWWGGGGGGHHHHHHH.

i also REALLY LIKED the idea of the scene where megatron speaking to the people was with optimus PRESENT as opposed to when he's dead because in showing that optimus ALLOWS megatron to speak to the people and ALLOWS the people the decision of following another leader or remaining in iacon is just. so optimus ykwim. he may disagree but he won't silence it and i feel like that's the important differing factor he has as a leader compared to sentinel which megatron fails to see because he's too blinded by the title of "prime" affixed to what used to be his friend. he probably just sees optimus as just another false prime despite him literally carrying the matrix, chosen by primus himself, maybe because optimus could never live up to the expectations of what megatron once believed the core of a prime. a prime that now belongs to a past which was torn to shreds by sentinel

I think June Darby falls into the same vein as Elita as: it doesn't matter who she ends up with, she is pussy whipping and pussy training that mech.

Optimus? Already leans towards being a service switch. Likes taking care of people, and is willing to top and bottom to do it.

Megaton? Dom, but definitely willing to bottom for the right motivation. Likes his partner to be just as fierce as him.

Soundwave? I've read your Oceanside fic I know what she does to him regardless of universe.

Oh, hard agree. And it's great because it could be a really great relationship with the right circumstances/AU or end really messy/Bad Ending/Dead Dove: Do Not Eat for the same reasons.

June has the personality and traits that can mesh well with so many characters and could have led to a lot of interesting dialogue and interactions as a baseline human.

But I really do lean into Other lineage, the 'Primal descendants' idea, and cyberization to even the playing field or explore something that caught my attention or a thing I wish I could have read.

A question to transformers fans in a nutshell!

[incorrectsmashbrosquotes]

Seeing today's Death Battle has really made me dislike the Bayformers movies a lot more.

You're telling me comic Megatron had a whole ass corruption and redemption arc where he forgot the ideals he once fought for and then realized the side he fought against had come to embody those ideas and changed sides and became a hero and saved the universe alongside his longtime nemesis?!

And Bayformers was what we got?! With all that to work with?!

I think Megatron just retroactively became my favorite Transformers character.

Transformers One is such a huge breath of fresh air that it made me realize just how incredibly frustrated I’ve been with this IP.

Cause how are you going to make world building, lore and character SO fucking good and then REFUSES to use them in anything even remotely mainstream?!

Listen, I love Good vs Evil narratives, I actually think we could use some more of them nowadays, but it just DOESN’T WORK with Transformers.

Like, how are you gonna look at Megatron, who was born a slave and lived his early years under the control of a people that, in some iterations, physically disfigured them from birth to make them more manageable. Megatron, who led a rebellion whose aim was (usually) equality. Megatron, who sow that the ones in power didn’t care and decided to never again allow anyone but himself to have power over them. Megatron, who became a heartless warlord so that no one could ever enslave them again. Megatron, who led the decepticons to war for thousands of years because they deserved to live on their home planet and he knew that the autobots will never accept them as equals.

How do you look at all of that and go

[Pure Evil]

I mean, don’t get me wrong, Megatron is by no means a good person, he is a WARLORD. What I’m saying is that shit’s more complicated than just good and evil.

And don’t even get me started on the fact that Optimus Prime is considered THE good guy when he’s literally on the side of the oppressor. Like, he literally knows that the sistem if fucked and still usually waits around for shit to get better on it’s one even though he 100% has the power and influence to change things.

(Once again, I am a fan of transformers, I am just picking and choosing universes and characteristics that best illustrate my point that this characters are morally gray)

And all of that is not even talking about the absolutely INCREDIBLE relationship between the two.

Just that fact that they were so close that even after over 9000 years of war “Brother (by Optimus Prime)” is still somehow third in Megaton’s “Also known as” is interesting enough, but their reasons for being enemies?

Megatron’s “I respect you more than I knew I was capable of. I look at you and I see everything I once thought the world to be. You bring out the child in me I thought was dead and buried. I cannot bring myself to truly hate a race that fostered someone like you. And that is why I have to kill you.” alone.

But next to Optimuses “You have chosen the wrong path. You have caused the death of thousands. You have betrayed me. You need to be stopped. But I can’t bring myself to do it. To be the one to break all that you’ve built. To be the one to seal the quote marks around your message.” is fucking legendary.

This is legitimately one only good reason to have a 9000 year long war.

And the fact that NONE of that has been properly explored should be declared a crime against humanity!

Also, seeing as “present time” Megatron is a sassy bitch, the ending of the movie implies that he had a betrayed gay ruled by hate-read to diva whore pipeline, witch is real as fuck.

I think that if Terminus and Optimus ever met, they would cause each other an aneurysm.

I want them to meet, obviously.
