I started watching Netflix WFC trilogy why are they standing like Barbie and Ken HELP 😭😭 I want to hold them and make them kiss

I love how they're both so concerned for each other, Elita is so protective and makes sure Optimus is fine too since he puts the well-being of other bots above his own 🥲

They're such an old married couple even though I don't really like this OP so far, they have so many cute moments together. This series seems so dark and already making me cry (it breaks my heart to watch Ultra Magnus suffer leave him ALONE) but that tiny chuckles whenever one teases the other, that soft look in Optimus' optics 🤲🤲 warms up my soul ❤️‍🩹

I love that even though his face is hidden by a mask and their optics aren't as expressive, you can clearly tell OP ADORES his wife just by that look

I mean come on, he's like " ^^ " all blushing under this mask (﹡ˆ﹀ˆ﹡)

and it's only like...2 episode I had seen so far and it already looks like they can't stand a minute without holding each other >>>

the second pic makes me angry cuz we can clearly see that he reached his hand to touch her but IT'S HIDDEN BEHIND THAT SHOULDER THINGY

oh and yeah Megatron stop admiring someone's WIFE on big screen while you are in front of thousands of decepticons please 🙏🙏

hope nothing bad happens to my favorites Ultra Magnus and Elita-One 🤗🤗✌✌

In my opinion Season 3 is easily the worst season of Earthspark.

It's thematically incohesive (don't trust Decepticons, but also Prowl is a prick for not warming up to Megatron immediately), Optimus is unlikeable and bitchy, Thrash's only character trait is cowardice like he's Scooby Doo or something, no good resolution for Starscream, Breakdown and Bee's friendship is broken up because ?????, the Quintessons are impersonal, unengaging enemies compared to the Decepticons (who just jet into space, bye), and a lot of parts are just really boring. (The Fairmaestro episode and the movie night episode being the biggest offenders.)

There were scenes I liked in Season 3, moments I liked, and I liked Prowl. But overall this season was hit by Ultra Magnus' Cloak Syndrome.

You know how in Netflix's War for Cybertron series Ultra Magnus goes on his own to parlay with Megatron? And he's wearing a Mysterious Cloak? And you could tell the writers were biting their lips thinking about the epic moment when it was revealed to be Magnus? But it's undercut by the reality that Transformers have very distinct sizes, colors, and silhouettes, so it's complete unbelievable that even a single Decepticon would wonder whose giant shoulder stacks those were?

Yeah, that's how I feel about Season 3 Earthspark. And just Earthspark in general tbh. We don't get a natural story driven by who the characters are. The characters live in service to story beats, whether they make sense or not.

The writers were like "It would be dramatic if Breakdown chose the Decepticons over Bee. So let's have him do that." No setup, no instances or flashbacks of Shockwave or Soundwave saving Breakdown's life or bonding moments with other 'Cons or anything to show why Breakdown would pick them over Bumblebee, who he has risked his life for before.

The writers were like "It would be cool to have a scene where Optimus and Megatron reconcile! So we'll start off this season with Optimus being mad at Megatron." No reason for it; he's just mad so that later, like the Maltos, we can clap our hands when it gets resolved.

By contrast look at the Beast Wars episode "Gorilla Warfare".

BW Dinobot scoffs at Optimus Primal's gentle and curious nature as he studies a flower. Later when Primal gets infected with a "go apeshit" virus, Dinobot is like "Well I'm sorry for the guy but this strategically good, his anger will win us the war." But then Primal's blind rage nearly gets him killed and Dinobot realizes how much the Maximals depend on not just Optimus' strength, but his calm wisdom.

The episode ends with Dinobot sitting by Primal's bed, waiting for him to wake up so he can tell Primal he's glad he's back to normal, and Dinobot leaves the flower from the start of the episode by his bedside as an oblique apology. THAT was a conflict that made sense, that arose from the core of who the characters were, and that was resolved based on a character's growth. And it all happened in a half-hour!

Like some of these ideas in Earthspark WOULD work if they were fleshed out . . . I could imagine Breakdown having a bond with other Decepticons and really caring for them; sure, I can write my own fanfic. But if I'm watching a TV show and it's a Big Plot Point then it is the job of the writers to show me that, on the screen. I shouldn't have to be filling in their lack of storytelling with "uh maybe offscreen--" and "what if--".

Find your helmets everyone, it's every Ratchet across the TF Multiverse! Please watch out for rouge wrenches! My Optimus and Megatron ones really fucked with my expectation for how long these things take...

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. And Yes, I am aware the TFO ones look stupid, these characters show up in background shots or for like 3 seconds tops. I didn't have anything else.

Here are links to my Bumblebee Chart, my Optimus Chart, my Megatron Chart, my Shockwave Chart, and my Ironhide Chart. For future reference, all these charts will be filed under my "Transformers Height Charts" tag and my "aka the adventures of a..." tag.

Master Post

Explanations and Sources below the cut.

Gen 1 - ~16 feet (TFWiki, I don't have anything to add)

- ~16 feet (No Source, but this design is identical to Gen 1 so who am I to complicate things.)

One V1 - ~16 feet (Pre-cog.*deep breath* Okay, so this movie doesn't have any actual numbers, aside for some bullshit ones from a Walmart Promotional. I've been using the Knightverse Optimus number as a baseline since these were at one point said to be vaugly canon to each other. And the Bumblebee-Optimus scaling is the same. I got this number by comparing Ratchet to Ironhide and Ironhide to Optimus. Idk man, this movie has made me develop a twitch.)

Animated - 16 feet 8 inches (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.)

One V2 - ~18 feet (Post-cog. Again, no numbers, plus I can't actually find a clear picture of this form. My method of "knocking off or adding two feet" has been pretty accurate so far (I got Bumblebee right), so I'm just going to keep doing it. God, my head hurts...)

Bayverse - 20 feet (TFWiki bc Mr. Bay loves me dearly and will give me numbers I am in your debt Michael)

Cyberverse - 20 feet (This comes from a screenshot of this video, which has the Cyberverse height chart everyone uses, though the quality of the screenshot is iffy.)

Aligned Cont. WF/FOC/TFP/RID15 - 24 feet 7 inches (I got this number from Fandom, but I completely believe it, even if they don't list their source. Everyone in this universe is just freakishly tall, for no reason. The more this happens the more pain I feel in my bones.)

Here's the layers separated for ease of viewing.

kingdomのメガちゃん＆メガ様の邂逅も好き…

「あなたですよね！そうでしょう？間違いない、あなたはメガトロン様だ。やっと会えた…」

「未来をお救い下さい」 「俺はあなたの末裔です。俺は死んだ世界から生まれた。」

「あのディスクはメガトロン様のものだ！！」

「ガルバトロンが誕生することはない。 この俺がメガトロン様を救ったからな！」

どの台詞も良い…

You somehow timed this perfectly with my failure to queue a post for today! Thanks for solving my problem with these pleasantly crunchy speciments!

A lot is said about Megaoplita in Earthspark, but oh my god, it would be much more believable as a dramatic arc in the Netflix trilogy because not only they tickled the classic boxes (Optimus and Megatron's rivalry and Optimus and Elita as an item), but for what I believe to be the first time in TF history, we saw that Megatron thinks of Elita more highly than Optimus and that she admired Megatron.

When she asks him to join the Autobots, he is literally flabbergasted. Like... she got to him. It's rare to see in the animated stuff Megatron having moments like this.

Noooooo because I'm thinking about Megatron x Jetfire in the Netflix Trilogy and the impacts on the future it brings

Round Two Post

[prettypinkeel]

wfc trilogy megoplita is truly special to me (mainly because this show actually made me love this trio). I like to headcanon that before war, Op&Megs both fell in love with Ariel but only Orion had this "spark" in him which actually captured Ariel's interest and lead her to follow him in the war.

my sweet tragic wfc meglita where this jealousy started to build in Megatron when Elita joined the autobots. he actually respects her more than Optimus, he even admitted he would have followed her if Elita was the one leading autobots,,,,,,

future tf shows should give Elita more important roles and make her fight against Megatron as much as Optimus. they both have a LOT to talk about.

[Boop] < I drew them before but I will def do more, I should rewaaaatch it.
