#neither did bayverse

[scourgeofmyownbrain]

Hey look, it's the Autobot Symbol guy. The guy they based the Autobot symbol on. Wow so cool, such a celebrity, can I have your autograph? It's Prowl's Height Chart everyone, I finally finished it.

I was making this at the same time as my Jazz one, I am aware I posted the Jazz one weeks ago. Work has been a bitch.

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. (god, some of these ones are really bad)

Masterpost

Listed Heights and Explanations below the cut.

Unicron Trilogy Armada - ~4 feet 6 inches (I am going to be real with you, I have no actual source, and this guy shows up in one episode. He's shorter than a human child of an age, and this was my best guess.)

Unicron Trilogy Energon - ~11 feet (Entirely separate guy from the last one, there are two bitches named Prowl here. No actual source, I measured him on Optimus and got this. Idk either.)

Earth Spark - ~12 feet (No actual source but I was able to compare him to Arcee, whom I have already established is the same height as Bumblebee (I haven't posted her yet but I have) and was able to get this number. And once again Earthspark is tiny short bitch central all of them are so short the only ones actually shorter than ES are actual mini bots.)

Gen 1 - ~13 feet (Tfwiki you god send I don't have to do any work for this one)

Netflix Cybertron Trilogy - ~13 feet (It's the exact same design as Gen 1 so I'm assuming they're the same height.)

RID 2001 - ~13 feet (Tfwiki for the WIN I don't have to do any work)

Animated - 15 feet 10 inches (This number actually comes from @phoenix-inanis and the glorious calculations they have done on the TFA Characters. Go check it out, because animated has literally no actual numbers -> https://phoenix-inanis.notion.site/TFA-Height-Chart-f6ad2960ca8c4c5b859ee4958723aaa4?pvs=4)

One V1 - ~16 feet (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 vaguely canon to each other. And the Bumblebee-Optimus scaling is the same. I was able to see he is the same height as Ironhide, and I already had his number, so here we are.)

One V2 - ~18 feet (Same schpeil as before, this movie gives me headaches. I did the same thing I did to Ironhide, my method of "knocking off or adding two feet" has been pretty accurate so far (I got Bumblebee right.) Until I get some real numbers this has to suffice.)

Cyberverse - ~18 feet (I did my best, he's like the same height as Bumblebee, so I just did that.)

I don't have anything else to add, there aren't any layers to separate.

I wanted you to be my first ♡

Short thirst of their first time with f!reader!

Warnings: 18+ / MDNI / suggestive / Ninja guys are 20-21 and so is reader / general verses leaned a bit towards Bayverse / overall pretty soft

He's supposed to be in control, know the rules, tame the game... he's supposed to, but this is something so very new, and so exhilarating he scarcely thinks straight. 

"I've never done this before," you pant after breaking the kiss, slipping a ghostly touch down his shell. 

Leo bites down a groan. Your eyes are glossy and your lips swollen, puffy from making out. It doesn't seem fair to keep playing cool.

“Well, neither have I,” he admits, averting his gaze. His dick twitches, pleading him to grind on you, but he refrains.

Gently, your hands cup his cheeks as you make him turn. The heat in his face is lovely and evident. "Let's try together. Here, touch me."  

Be gentle, he thinks. Slow, not too fast, don't scare her. Don't hurt her… 

"Fuck, like that," you breathe, nails digging into his shell, scratching. 

He groans near your throat, and the sound echoes on the crock of your neck, causing you to clench. He moans at the feeling. 

"Doesn’t hurt- no more?” 

“No, no I’m f-fine,” you barely say before closing your eyes, allowing the slow heat in your core to settle, filling you. "Move."

Raphael growls, using all the self-control he's got to refrain from thrusting too harshly. He pulls you toward his plastron, hugging you back, your legs open further to accommodate him. So close like this, you feel complete as much as he does. 

“Shit, doll, you’re so tight,” Raph manages right after a soft groan. “It feels so good."

You're grinding on top of him, arms around his neck. The soft beat of your heart is intimately snug to him. The soft mutters of little moans pour into your mouth as you drink them.

"I want to go further tonight," you whisper, forehead over his own.

Donatello swallows hard. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Are you?" 

Donnie adjusts his glasses, nervously. "Yes," he breathes, perhaps a bit too desperate. "but- but we can stop anytime if you change your mind."

Your lips curl upright, hands cupping his cheeks. "I love you,"

"Tell me if it hurts," Mikey asks as the lines with you. 

After some tentative rubs, he slips in, slowly. Your breath hitches, hand fisting the covers. He's big, a bit too much. 

"Should I stop? You can tell me, it's okay."

It brings a smile to your face. "I'm good, keep going." 

Mikey stares at you just enough to make sure you mean it before thrusting in. "Relax, close your eyes," 

His lips graze your cheek. He did a fine job preparing you but it still stings. Can't be helped, you suppose, just dealt with. You breathe, allowing your body to adjust to his size. 

"I'm gonna make you feel so good... so- mn, you're tight."

"Hurts?" you rush, worriedly.

"No," Mikey breathes, trying his best not to come just by the warmth of your walls. "No, it's- it's so good, angel. You feel so good,"

Dirty Secret (18+)

Bayverse!Leonardo x reader x Bayverse!Michelangelo

A/N: Just a little something I’ve had in my Docs for months, so I thought it was time to get it out there for you. Hope you’ll enjoy💙🧡

All characters are aged up.

Warning: Voyeurism, masturbation, groping.

It was not something Mikey was proud of, but at this point, he had stopped trying to restrain himself. If it stood to him, he would never let anybody know what he was doing, especially neither you or Leonardo.

It started by total accident. Mikey had gotten out of bed one night, and decided to go to the kitchen in order to get something to eat, while the rest of his family was sound asleep - or so he thought. Had he known, Mikey might not even have gotten out of bed, staying in his room until his snack hunger was over. But of course, Mikey did not know. He could not tell the future, and he did really want a snack. So to the kitchen he went.

There Mikey stood there in the kitchen, enjoying a poptart that Donnie hadn’t yet gotten a hold of - one of the simple pleasures in life, when you lived in a sewer - when he suddenly heard it. A low stream of sounds coming from Leo’s room. Looking back, Mikey should have known what he was hearing, but his curiosity and innocence got the better of him, and soon he found himself in front of his oldest brother’s bedroom door, looking through the keyhole, wondering what weird kind of training his oldest brother had gotten himself into.

There he saw you and Leo naked on Leo’s bed, your legs as far over his shoulders as they would go, while he slowly buckled his hips against yours, watching your face, studying your reactions, taking in your small sounds with each and every move he did against you.

Mikey almost dropped his poptart, stopping his chewing with wide eyes, feeling himself getting flustered. He was not supposed to see that. He was definitely not supposed to see that. Never in his life had he ever thought he would accidently get a view of his big brother, fucking his own girlfriend in the comfort og his room.

Mikey knew it was wrong. This was just not a thing you did. It was wrong. So wrong. Mikey told himself to get a hold of his poptarts, and turn around and leave for his bedroom, and not come out until he was sure you were gone. Yet Mikey kept standing there in front of Leo’s door, watching through the keyhole, even taking a bite of his poptart as he did so.

Slowly chewing his poptart, he watched how you held onto Leo’s arms for dear life, as Leo started to speed up his thrusts into you. It didn’t take long before the sound of your hips slapping together started echoing throughout Leo’s room, and just through the keyhole Mikey was still looking through. At first, Mikey kept watching, stickley out of fascination. He had never had sex before, and this was definitely not something you would get to see very often. Sure, Mikey had seen porn several times, but never before had he seen a mutant turtle go to town on a human woman. It had always been hard, imagining himself in the place of all those human men, on that orange and black website, but this made it a lot easier…

Mikey stayed outside of Leo’s bedroom, until the two of you were finished (at least with that round), where the two of you started to engage in some soft and sweet aftercare. At that point Mikey really felt like he was pushing it, and made a quick dash back to his bedroom with the poptarts he still had left. But unfortunately for Mikey, he had a very hard time falling asleep after what he had witnessed. It did not matter how many poptarts he tried to eat, hoping that they could take his mind off of it, or somehow make him sleepy. And he just couldn’t stop thinking about it. And the more he thought about it, the more did Leo seem to disappear from that memory. It didn’t take long before Mikey’s mind had replaced the leader in blue, with the thought of himself, being the one ramming into you, causing you to moan out in pleasure and ecstasy.

And as the thought of Mikey being the one, fucking you into the matterass underneath you, he could not fight the effect that it started to have on him. He felt his senses grow stronger, along with a pressing feeling in his nether region. But Mikey did not want to admit his body’s own reactions to himself. Not even has he felt his member, slowly make its way out of the slit of his cloaca. It wasn’t until he dropped straight into his own pants, that Mikey allowed himself to pull his shorts down, letting his hard member spring furth, already leaking with pre-cum, begging for him to give it some attention. And so, that night Mikey wrapped his hand around himself, to the thought of you being the one enclosing him with your warm and wet cunt.

The next day, Mikey did everything in his power not to look at either you or Leo. He simply couldn’t face you, knowing that he hadn't just shot one load, while thinking of you moaning and whimpering with joy beneath him, but two. Mikey had two, toe curling, eye rolling and hip thrusting orgasms, at the mercy of his own hand while thinking of you. And for just a moment, last night, Mikey had forgotten that you weren’t his, and that you were in fact together with Leo. So to see you and Leo emerge from Leo’s bedroom together, before heading for the kitchen for something to eat, was like a slap of reality to Mikey’s face. It reminded Mikey of just how wrong his own actions in his own bedroom were. What a betrayal it was to his brother, to think of his girlfriend in such a way.

As Mikey sat there at the kitchen table, deep in thought, trying his best not to look in you and Leo’s direction, mentally berating himself for what he did, he suddenly noticed something out of the corner of his eye. You and Leo stood at the kitchen counter with your backs turned to him, and you cooking something, with one of Leo’s arms wrapped around your shoulder, talking about something Mikey didn’t fully understand. But it was here that Leo’s arm slowly dropped from your shoulder, his hand slowly sliding down the curve of your back, before coming to a rest on your pants-covered ass. There Leo’s hand did a groping motion, before slowly grabbing a fistfull, causing you to giggle and shake your head with a smile, before leaning in against him, saying something along the lines of; “you can’t wait for tonight, can you?”

Mikey froze for a moment, realizing what your words to Leo meant. And with that, Mikey realized that you and Leo most likely were going at it again that night. And it was at that moment - no matter how wrong Mikey knew it was - that Mikey decided that he was going to get another pack of poptarts, and see if he could get some more material of you to enjoy himself with.

[sprite-writes-fanfic]

Hello, I was wondering if you could do either 2003-2012 or bayverse headcanons or scenario with a crush reader that is emotionally a bit like Raphael? They are a bit more friendly than him and equally funny, kinda over independent on the “being taken care of” department, gets guilty and either lashes off or exclude themselves out of situations when they are anxious or feel overwhelmed by being “a problem”, doesn’t know how to lower their guard , neither believe they are worthy of someone’s heart, but deep inside they are affectionate and very loving (literally Raphael lol)

Hopefully this makes sense, if not (or if you don’t like the request) you can just ignore it

Thank you and have a good day / night

I will try my best anon! 🫡 Gonna do Bayverse because I feel like it would fit more for this scenario! (Also I fucking love the Bayverse turtles and I feel like I should start including them along with other turtle interpretations <3)

⚠️ Requests are closed, I am just putting out requests that I got before I closed them! Have 2 more to post out, posting another one today. Working on the other one currently as well. I will not do other requests until I’m off break, asks are still open though!

Lean On Me

🐢💙❤️Bayverse TMNT x Reader💜🧡🐢

Word Count: 692

CW: Gender neutral reader, referred mainly as ‘you’, probably not on-point with what anon wants but I tried my best TvT, sorry if this isn’t exactly what you asked for anon 🙏, fluff!

🐢💙Leonardo💙🐢

💙 You and Leo will probably bump heads quite a bit with this stubborn nature of ‘not needing help’. My dude will not stand for it, he will help and protect you, no if’s and’s or but’s. Anytime you try to exclude yourself, he’s joining you, doesn’t want you to feel alone ever.

💙 Anytime you lash out he just takes it. He literally fights with Raph all the time. Will let you cool down, give you much needed space, then ask you to meditate with him to help clear your mind of these negative emotions.

💙 Will sit down with you multiple times and have talks with you, each time finally getting closer and closer to how you feel. Has the patience of a god and will wait as long as he can, don’t test him he’ll wait as long as he can. When you finally open up about how you feel, he’s good at reassuring you that he’s doing this because he wants to and because he cares for you. Is sure to give you words of affirmation every day until you finally feel comfortable to bring your walls down with him. And trust me when I say he definitely mentally celebrates, many kisses were given the day you did.

🐢❤️Raphael❤️🐢

❤️ Raph gets it, he really does, you’re a little more friendlier than him, but when you lash out he sees himself in you. He goes to you a lot to help you talk, and sometimes in return he’ll talk to you too. Therapy for each other.

❤️ Probably the quickest of the brothers to work you through these issues. Again, he gets it because when he looks at you and how you act based on your emotions, he can only see himself, and he doesn’t want you to go through a lot of emotional pain he went through.

❤️ Big old cuddle bug with you, once both of your shells are broken through. Doesn’t really leave you alone often either so you don’t dwell on these negative thoughts and try to close yourself off again. Anxious thoughts can lead to overthinking and he knows that pretty well.

🐢💜Donatello💜🐢

💜 Donnie is a little awkward in the emotional department, (and I honestly say that for every Donnie, not always the best in the emotional-department), so he’s kinda having a hard time here. Doesn’t mean he isn’t trying though. He’s trying to give you the right words in order to help.

💜 But he does what he doesn’t usually do, listen. He’ll hear you out if you ever finally break down your walls, and he won’t interrupt because it’s important to him to know how you feel. He’ll work on solutions when you’re done.

💜 He really does care about you, but when it comes to being lashed out at or you trying to exclude yourself, it kinda catches him off guard. But he stays on it, he lives with Raph after all. Has pretty good patience with you and will keep that patience going for as long as he can push it. Overall, he does pretty well and has a lot of patience, and will put his gadgets to the side for you.

🐢🧡Michelangelo🧡🐢

🧡 Mikey’s happy that you’re more on the friendlier side at the very least, but he kinda flinches back at the times you lash out. But no worries, he’s persistent. Surprisingly goes for advice from his brothers and his father and actually listens.

🧡 Will approach you with this newfound information and tries to be as reassuring as possible with you, though please do forgive him when he messes up, he’s trying so hard for you. :(

🧡 Always by your side a lot of the time and is always reassuring, he’s getting you to do stuff with him to keep your mind off the ‘what if-’ not here honey, not gonna happen. He’s a lot of fun and with him it kinda makes your negative emotions and thoughts melt away before you're smiling and laughing with him. The day you finally cuddle and kiss him, I think he actually kinda starts to tear up. He’s proud of you, truly, and he’s happy that his Angelcakes is comfortable enough with him.

*scrambles to your inbox*

SOPH YOURE DOING THE ASK GAMES??

(Also hi, good morning, turtle tats here)

22. Let me talk with Bay Leo?

…I think you know exactly what I’m thinking lol

*hive brain activate*

Love yaaaa 💚💚💚

Hello! 😃 I am and... Oh. Oh. Interesting choice. Let me see what I can cook up.

One-shot, eventual fluff and realization of feelings, Bayverse Leo

This is... honestly not the way Leo hoped things would turn out. He might have had a clue with the way you tried to defend yourself whenever he found you, but he didn't quite think it would turn into... this.

It's been three days. He's been trading off with Donnie when it comes to patrols, but, if he's honest, neither of them has been doing great work. None of them have, in fact. Raph shows up every morning and evening, and Mikey makes a point of eating lunch with him before disappearing elsewhere. Leo can also hear the camera Donnie has temporarily set up to make sure that, if they absolutely have to deal with anyone or anything, you along with Dad are safe.

... But it's still three days, and, apart from your breathing, there's been nothing. Nothing but him... and his troubled mind.

He wonders if he did the right thing back then. If there really was no other outcome. Of course, he knows better. Some encounters are unavoidable and you are simply one of them. He just — He just wishes it didn't end with you getting stabbed.

He looks at your wrapped shoulder and presses his lips together to look away. He takes a breath and stands, half-expecting his phone to explode with messages and knowing that the only reason it doesn't is because they all know where he is.

"Hm."

Before his world halts.

"Hm?"

He turns.

"... Leo?"

And his heart near drops out of his plastron.

You smile as your name stumbles out of his mouth in question. He swallows as you do, trying to find your breath as he closes the door. And he, great ninja he is, nearly trips over his own feet as you start moving and your hand goes for your shoulder.

"Don't," he whispers. "It's still healing."

"Fair. Where's Donnie? I –"

"Let me take care of it."

"I'll be fine, Leo, I –"

"You are not fine. You were out for three days."

He's never been gladder to see you stop moving, even if you look at him with exhaustion and questions in your eyes.

"... Let me talk?"

"Floor's yours."

Although, if he had to say anything, the biggest thing he's missed is your spirit as he smiles.

"Actual Foot Clan. Hoping to get –"

"Donnie to work with them, I know. Went about as well as one could expect."

"I said, "Let me talk"."

And he's pretty sure it's why he can't stay mad at you as you giggle, hiss at the pain, and settle down.

What is he going to do with you?

"You hit your head when Baxter dropped you. Gave you a concussion, according to Donnie. And the injury did nothing to help."

"That would explain the head pain."

... What was he going to do with you?

"Hey, I'm not about to make you feel even more guilty."

Certainly with the way you're defending him now?

"Maybe I should."

"Leo."

It's a bad plan. It'll compromise everything he's built.

... He's just too weak.

He shifts. Turns. His beak finds smooth skin before his lips fleetingly claim it, right at the hairline.

"... I'll go get Donnie," he states before getting up.

He hates your silence. He loathes your blink. But he swallows and heads downstairs.

[novafire-is-thinking]

So I was wondering for a long time what would canonically happen if a human stayed inside a Cybertronian while they transformed. I came across two pages in IDW comics that mostly answered my question:

However, would this apply to all other Transformers or does it only apply to those with the same body type as Bumblebee or only Bumblebee? Does the alt mode have anything to do with this? Would the transforming noise be louder or muffled from the inside?

It definitely depends on the bot’s body type and alt mode. It probably depends on the show and continuity too.

Prime

In the second episode of Prime, Miko forgets to grab her guitar before hopping out of Bulkhead. It ends up somewhere in his “subspace”:

Notice how she says “back seat.”

In the IDW panels you sent, Bumblebee shifts his passengers to his back seat before transforming.

This tells me that, when a Cybertronian with a car mode is transforming from alt mode to root mode, people and items are probably safer and/or more comfortable if they’re in the back seat.

A couple of episodes later, it’s discovered that Miko tagged along without Bulkhead realizing it. Twice:

In the moments leading up to this part, Bulkhead is seen launching from the ground in alt mode and transforming to his root mode midair to grab onto a rocky cliff side. Miko was inside the entire time and survived, although she definitely suffered for it.

What about root mode to alt mode transformation? What would happen then?

Well, in season 3, Miko does what she does and ends up inside of Wheeljack’s subspace:

It’s never shown whether WJ first transformed to alt mode to let her hop in or if he just opened up his chest and dropped her in. My guess is the latter since, on the way out of the hangar to the ship, Magnus and Bulkhead weren’t far ahead of him when she asked if she could come. They probably would have noticed him switch to his alt mode, which neither Wheeljack nor Miko wanted.

The thing is, did he think before dropping Miko inside?

I doubt that he did, but these are the questions I would have:

Since combat might require split-second transformation, did he drop her in knowing she would survive an emergency transformation to his alt mode? (Unknown)

Did he tell her in which part of his subspace she’d be most comfortable in case he had to transform to his alt mode? (Probably not)

Was his plan to let her out in Magnus’ ship before going outside? (Maybe)

So, in TFP, The safety and comfort of a human inside a bot going from car mode to root mode is unknown.

Unfortunately, I have nothing I can go off of for fliers.

Rescue Bots

Several times throughout the series, the human members of the rescue team ride inside their partners’ chests when they switch to and from their alt modes. It’s safe and comfortable. They even get nice seats. lol

Barring the fact that this is a kids show which requires this feature, I wonder if the bots were able to choose this for their human partners or if they just made sure to scan alt modes with that particular type of subspace.

It would definitely be interesting to know if Cybertronians have the ability to choose which insides and kibble go where when first scanning an alt mode…

Anyway—

Rise of the Beasts + Bayverse films

RotB gave us a golden glimpse of Cybertronian transformation abilities.

Behold…one of my favorite parts of the movie:

Originally, I was going to use the AoE clip of Optimus scanning his new alt mode and transforming around his human passengers, but this clip works better. It’s an excellent display of what a Cybertronian body is capable of.

With more than a handful of distinct alt modes, Mirage appears to be a special case. I mean, the guy can literally separate pieces of his body to give to others and become an armored suit for a human.

Can all Cybertronians do that? I have no idea. When’s it my turn to be lovingly wrapped in living metal armor? Hm?

Looking at both AoE and RotB, Cybertronians appear to have the ability to move individual parts (within limits).

It would make sense if all bots could at least do what Mirage does in the above clip, if nothing more than that.

This is incredibly useful when transforming with human passengers.

Now, to answer your last question (finally):

The noise level inside a bot during transformation would depend on which parts are being moved and how much shifting is taking place. Cosmetic shifts would be muffled since they’re happening outside, but if parts surrounding the human(s) are being shifted, it’s going to be loud and clear to the passenger(s).

Movies are almost never a good way of determining realistic noise levels, but in the clip with Mirage and Noah, things don’t sound muffled at all.

[captainofthedauntless]

Can you write a first kiss with bayverse raph and his s/o (she/her) it's been running in my mind that raph would be kinda shy? You know like he really wants to but is so nervous and flustered about it.

Nonny, I am so sorry this took so long. Hope you find it LMAO.

Bayverse Raphael x Reader imagine

Info + Warnings: No gendered language, pronouns, or Y.N used for Reader. Set post movies.

Commentary: Nervous Raphael owns my ass. I hope I did him justice.

"Woah, Red," You said as he abruptly pulled back from your space, crossing his forearms one in front of the other. Your hand found his one closest to you, where it rested on your table, and gave it a gentle squeeze. "You OK?"

"Yeah. Yeah, o'course," He muttered, voice low and gravelly and doing nothing to disguise his nerves. His eyes- bright, stunning, dangerous green- were wide and shadowed by a knit brow as he quickly wet his lips with his tongue. "Just- are you- you're sure about this?"

You fought to keep the smile off your face, not wanting him to think you were laughing at him. "I'm very sure," You said warmly, squeezing his arm again and dragging your hand back to find his and play with his fingers like you always did. "But we can stop-"

"No," Raph said quickly, turning his hand over and looping his fingers through yours with his signature little shake of your joined hands. "Just... c'mere."

You obliged happily, pushing yourself up out of your seat and leaning over the corner of the table, leaning on your forearms to look him in the eyes. "Hey, handsome."

"Hey yourself," He muttered lowly. His free hand came up to brush knuckles against your cheek, slowly, lightly tracing back towards your ear before unfurling and cupping your jaw, his eyes trailing the motion.

Then, Raphael pulled you forwards.

Really, it wasn't a pull. He was as gentle as he ever was with you, meaning he was barely even suggesting you lean forwards.

Luckily, you were well practiced in reading his small suggestions.

You were fully smiling when the suggestion stopped just shy of his face. Less than an inch separated the two of you, and you allowed yourself a moment to study those gorgeous half-lidded eyes of his as he watched you, silent and waiting.

Then, you closed the gap, and your lips met his.

Somehow, the coolness of his lips surprised you, despite his hands being the same temperature. Just a few degrees below your own body temperature- a feature of his turtle roots, one Donatello had explained to you months ago, back when you helped him winter-prep the lair- but enough to be a pleasant chill against your burning skin.

They were rough, too, but that wasn't a surprise. Neither was the gentle way they pressed to yours. Raph's kiss was hesitant and stilted, and his hands were ever so slowly relaxing against your skin, and you were somehow falling even more for the red-clad hero.

This side of him- soft, pliant, gentle- made fondness explode in your chest, and you squeezed his fingers as you kissed him.

He pulled back after a few seconds- too soon, in your opinion, but the way he squeezed your fingers back made it worth it- and you slowly opened your eyes to meet his.

"Hey, handsome," You repeated softly, making him chuckle.

"Hey, yourself." Raphael gave you a half-smile, searching your face. "You, uh... that okay?

You let a small laugh escape you this time, warmth and love bubbling out of you. He tensed, and you hurried to reassure him. "It was more than okay."

[saxandviolins77]

IIRC in your review of TF One you said it was a "good movie" but a lot of what you described made it sound focus-tested into oblivion and generic? And I know I thought the movie was pretty nonsensical and hypocritical and had many issues with how it handled the characters, so I'm really curious about in more detail what led to your ultimate take? I know you described how it was very focused and stuff but like, a movie that has a focus but is focused on something that doesn't make any sense isn't necessarily good, especially if the theme has problems. I'm curious since your review you named a lot of specifics and I feel like my opinion that it was a bad kids' movie seems really rare! -arceespinkgun

Hey! Thanks for the ask! I'll try to make my stance more clear on the TF: ONE topic.

Well, focused on telling a riveting story with the characters and universe it certainly was not.

Focused on making revenue? Definitely, but every movie is like that, I'm more interested in the hows.

You see, this movie was written backward. As in, they already knew where the characters needed to be and who they needed to turn into.

Why was Orion considered worthy of the Matrix? Because he needs to be.

Why did D-16 go from a meek rule-abiding guy to a violent "kill everyone tyrant" in the span of a day? Because he needs to be.

The "high-guard" stuff? Just a very weak excuse for them to shove the already-built Decepticon army into a fight scene.

It's a good movie for two reasons and neither of them really has to do with the story or characters as they appear!

It knows its audience: as in, the general audience of TF fans, the TF fans who go into the cinema expecting the tried and true story of "cherik but robots" will have a grand time! And will go to the cinema 26 times to make sure this movie has revenue (see Twitter, it's embarrassing). AND, it's also great franchise bait! Tell me, how many people have you seen that are new to the franchise BECAUSE of ROTB? Now, TF: ONE? I assume your answer will be a little different. It's a movie that dangles a carrot for the audience, if you already like the carrot, sweet! If you never tasted the carrot, you may enjoy it without thinking.

Focus-tested: great use of the word, I'm stealing it. I would say this movie is a calculated risk, but it isn't a risk at all. I appreciate the motives behind this movie a ton! Because it wasn't just something Hasbro green-lighted to ignite the Bayverse flame back, it's calculated and the time it was left in the oven means this is pure aligned sauce, and it works. This movie sexes so much with core concepts from the Aligned continuity that it was bound to never be its own thing, and even better! All the "new" concepts this movie has to offer are either animated movie jerking off (Comedic-relief character that adds nothing, Girlboss...) or smoothing out Aligned things that would not fly in deeper examination (Op and Megs are both miners, Sentinel, no "alternative mode racism").

It's a good movie, in comparison to what came before (that I felt the need to point out in my review). It's cohesive, unlike ROTB, AND more importantly, it's approachable (not only for newcomers but also for the fandom at large). It's an above-average kids' movie (which aside from a few surprising offers, has been on the slop side of things for YEARS now, ESPECIALLY when it comes to Blockbuster schmuck).

It's a good movie because it was calculated, the only factors that may intervene are Paramount's shitty distribution AND toy sales, but that doesn't change the fact that it is critically acclaimed already.

Now you might be asking:

Do I support this?

Who am I to support anything? Just a small account on a near-dead site. However, I cannot deny I find it quite ingenious of the Hasbro team (who has been wanting to amalgamize TF for YEARS) and the fandom reaction to it has been great to watch.

Does this kill artistic integrity?

LMAO YEAH! I don't thing anyone watching a big studio movie would be really surprised by that, better luck with animated series and/or comics. Tho, I sure the people working on this movie did put their hearts into it, it just happened to be a really strategic place to put it.

Wow, I wasn't expecting this.

Yeah, it is what it is. At the end of the day TF:ONE is a very great marketing scheme, I'd be more worried about it seeping into other things (beware of what's to come after the failure of the GI:JOE/TF movie and after they finish killing off ES).

I didn't really like it, but for reasons I already don't like Aligned. The forced godhood of Orion (which makes the Autobot/Decepticon conflict into a religious war!! Why?), the fact that D-16 is the fucking anti-christ that was dictated by THE ALREADY MENTIONED NARRATIVE into villainy (even though, he was in the right! Orion's only plan towards Sentinel was... 'the people will know'... Then...?), the High-guard was completely fodder for the main four (notice how I never mentioned them in my original review), and Arachnid... LOL MOMENT FOR THAT BLUNDER AMIRITE?!

But that ⬆️ was not the point of this movie's existence.

Sorry if this reads a little too hateful or cynical, I am genuinely neutral about this movie, but I just wanted to make my stance clear. My account is not made to dwell on or endorse parts of the franchise that I do not like, I prefer talking and uplifting what I enjoy... And maybe reblogging a hateful post every once a week.

Turtle Tot Chronicles Presents:

A Bickering Memory

Featuring the Bayverse!Turtles

Summary: Splinter reminisces an old memory

"You did what now?"

"You heard. What are you gonna do about it?" Young Leo and young Raph were butting heads again, much to Splinter's annoyance. Splinter set down his tea with a soft sigh and made his way over to his two eldest sons. Neither child noticed their father as they continued to bicker back and forth in that broken young language. It wasn't until Splinter tripped them both with his tail did they notice.

"M-Master Splinter!" Young Leo called out in shock.

"I'm sorry if we woke you up!" Raph followed closely behind. Splinter simply shook his head and looked at them both.

"You didn't. Now, what is happening here?" Immediately the boys started yelling and pointing at each other. Splinter sighed and tripped them again. The two boys let out a groan as they landed.

"What was that for?!" Raph called out, sniffling and rubbing the back of his head.

"I want you to explain one at a time with no interruptions!" He said sternly, slightly raising his voice at the end of his demand. The boys nodded. "Leonardo, what happened?"

Raph was angry Leo was going first but he knew better than to try to voice his annoyance to Splinter after his instructions. Leo stood as tall as he could, proudly retelling what had happened.

"I was practicing my katas this morning like you tell me to every morning and when I was done I set my katanas down to use the bathroom." Splinter nodded along as his son spoke, knowing Leo always ran to the bathroom three katas in. Splinter didn't know how to explain to him not to do katas immediately after he woke up.

"And when I came back Raph was using my katanas as darts and throwing them against the wall! He was disgracing them, Sensei!" Leo yelled out with tears in his eyes as he pointed an accusing finger at Raph. The already angered turtle got more angry and swatted Leo's finger away.

"Not true!"

"Is too!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Yuh-huh!" The two bickered back and forth, making Splinter need to trip them once more. Albeit, gentler this time.

"Hey!" They voiced in unison. Splinter turned his attention to Raph.

"Is this true, Raphael?" Splinter asked calmly. Raph crossed his arms and turned away. Splinter knelt to his son's level and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Raphael?"

"Okay, okay, yes I did! Happy?!" He huffed out, moving his shoulder away from Splinter.

"Why?"

"Huh?" Raph was expecting to be yelled at and lectured on by his father but the question completely threw him off.

"Why did you do it?" Splinter asked. Raph paused, thinking of his response until he finally huffed and crossed his arms as he looked away.

"Because Leo hid my sais!" Splinter was shocked to hear his most well behaved son was misbehaving. He turned his face of disappointment to his eldest son. Leo started to stutter.

"B-because you put a kick-me sign on my back!"

"You put trash pieces in my cereal!"

"You dropped my toothbrush in the toilet!"

"You took my teddy bear!"

"No I didn't!" Leo yelled out.

"Yes you did!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Yuh-huh!" The boys went back and forth like this again. Splinter was about to get their attention again when he felt a tug on his robes. He blinked and looked down at the source of the tug. Young Mikey was clinging onto Splinter's robes with teary eyes. Splinter moved closer to his youngest son.

"What is it, Michaelanjelo?" Splinter asked softly.

"Leo didn't take the teddy bear." He said softly, sniffling. Splinter raised his eyebrows.

"Oh? And how do you know that?" He asked just as softly. Mikey brought a hand up, showing the teddy bear Splinter had somehow missed him holding. "Ah."

"Don't tell Raph, I had a scary dream." Mikey said. Splinter simply smiled.

"I won't." He took the teddy bear from his youngest and gave him a pat on the head before shooing him off to go play. He then turned to his two, still bickering, eldest children.

"Enough!" He yelled out. The two boys immediately silenced and stood at attention. Splinter held up the teddy bear. "Is this yours, Raphael?"

Raph ran to Splinter and grabbed the bear, hugging it close.

"You found him! How?" Splinter simply smiled.

"I have my ways. Now, apologize to your brother." He said. Raph huffed and looked at Leo.

"Sorry." He mumbled. Leo smiled.

"Leonardo, apologize to your brother too." Leo's smile dropped.

"What?!"

"You wronged your own brother. Apologize." Leo opened his mouth but stopped, nodding.

"Yes, Sensei." Leo turned to Raph and dipped into a bow. "I'm sorry, Raph."

The two boys accepted each other's apologies and ran off to play with the other two. Splinter sighed in relief, problem solved.

"Raph, you don't play monopoly like that!"

"Says who?!"

"Says the rules!"

"Yeah? Well, my rules say I can."

"Of course your rules say you can, you let yourself do anything!"

"So what?"

"It's cheating! We agreed to house rules!"

"Exactly and as far as I can see you're under my house."

"That's not what house rules means! That's a toy house, Raph!"

Splinter sighed as he was brought back to the present, his meditation interrupted by another game night. Splinter stood with some difficulty and grabbed his cane for support. He walked over to the entrance of his meditation room to peer into the common room where his sons, April, Casey, and even Vern sat. He chuckled softly as he watched his eldest sons bicker. Some things just never changed.

Bayverse!Raphael x Fem!Y/N

⚠️: Suggestive NSFW themes

Drabble #2: Bare Mornings

Last night, you and your Red Bara had entered the most intimate threshold into your 2-year relationship. Your eyes fluttered open at the first rays of dawn peeking through the windows. You felt two, large arms pull you closer.

Raph awoke to your glowing visage. Who was this Aphrodite whose presence graced his morning and how the hell did he get her to love him? Your hearts were so close together that neither of you needed to speak. He reached his fingers to brush the stubborn strands of hair from your face. You were just utterly beautiful.

“Hi handsome,” you whispered.

“How ya doin’ gorgeous?” He smiled, propping his head on his knuckle with a finger twirled in your hair. His voice at this time of the day sounded more tempting than it did last night.

“A bit sore,” you croaked. He quickly became concerned, placing his hand on your abdomen.

“Sorry bout’ that,” he chuckled. “Shoulda’ve been more gentla.’”

“You don’t need to apologize,” you reply as you kiss his hand. “I loved the way you made love to me.”

He smiled, embracing you in his arms and pressing a kiss against your forehead.

“Then how ‘bout we do it again,” he smirked as his fingers began to toy with your clit.

let me know if you want to be tagged in future works!

This post contains spoils for TF1 so watch it before reading this post if you haven't already.

What Sunbow and Marvel Sentinel Prime were:

There's not much to say about Sunbow and Marvel's Sentinel Primes as they're mostly only present to be Optimus's predecessor but due to Hot Rod being intentionally similar to Luke Skywalker in Sunbow we can infer Optimus to be Obi Wan and Sentinel another jedi but he's given far too little characterization to be Yoda who more befits Alpha Trion in any case.

What Dreamwave Sentinel Prime was:

Flash forward to Sentinel's appearances in Dreamwave's Transformers comics and the ultimate guide in 2003-2004 with some more characterization and while still not much it's just enough along with these appearances postdating TPM to allow me to comfortably slot Dreamwave Sentinel as the Qui-Gon Jinn to Optimus' Obi Wan Kenobi and Rodimus' Luke Skywalker.

What TFA Sentinel Prime was:

In an about face the next Sentinel after Dreamwave was a douchebag who's authoritarian policies and xenophobia towards all organic living beings gave a bad name to an already somewhat more checkered than usual Autobot faction.

What Sentinel Zeta Prime was:

Aligned and High Moon's Sentinels are almost as similar to 1 another as Sunbow and Marvel's as like them they share a continuity family despite being from different continuities

Both are ultimately defined by being a well-intentioned but checkered predecessor/mentor/father to Orion Pax/Optimus before he fully became Optimus Prime.

What DOTM Sentinel Prime was:

Briefly teased in ROTF (2009) but not appearing until DOTM (2011) this is the Sentinel that decisively altered the character as the douchebag behavior of TFA was exaggerated to the point of making Sentinel a Pure Evil Villain as bad as The Fallen and worse than the Near Pure Evil Bayverse Megatron; a Youtube comment called Rassilon the Sentinel Prime of Doctor Who which is most feasibly referring to this Sentinel.

Played quite well by the late Leonard Nimoy Sentinel carried DOTM as a Love to Hate Pure Evil Villain netting it a personal score of 5.7/10.

What IDW 2019 Sentinel Prime was:

IDW 2019's Sentinel is both written by a novelist and appears more often than he did in his previous novel appearance, Exodus (2010) the result being a fully fleshed out version of Aligned and High Moon's Sentinels as a checkered but ultimately good mentor/father to Orion Pax/Optimus Prime.

What TF1 Sentinel was:

Despite TF1 and DOTM being set in different continuities TF1 Sentinel's in spirit much like Young Xehanort: the set up to a payoff played by Leonard Nimoy expect unlike Xehanort neither TF1 nor DOTM's Sentinels are tragic Magnificent Bastards but rather Love to Hate Pure Evil Villains.

TF1 Sentinel took all the best qualities of DOTM Sentinel, ran with them, and had them in a movie which was at worst boring netting TF1 a personal score of 6.5/10

Credit to @ultraericthered for the format as despite my complete disagreement with him on many things it'd feel wrong to not give credit to him for inspiring the format of this post

P.S. Infinitus is such a poorly written strawman at least IMO that i've 0 desire to talk about him.

[theyhavetakenovermylife]

Hi, I reread your bayverse children series and it's always so touching! I cried several times, I really like these kids and their relationships. But besides that, there's another side to these stories that I want to know about. The turtles and their wives! It's so cute, they're married! I personally find marriage to be a wonderful thing and I really want to know how it all happened. Like how the proposal was planned, how it was made, how the rest of the family reacted, including Splinter, which of the brothers got engaged to their sweetheart earlier, who later, is it at least somehow legalized or is it a purely spiritual marriage, and so on. You don't have to cover all aspects, do what you want and how you want! If you're not going to do it at all, then that's fine, I like your posts anyway. Thanks for attention.

Your Wedding (Fluff)

Children Series

Bayverse!Leonardo x reader

A/N: It’s honestly a super cute idea, and I’ve been wanting to do something for it for a while. To make things easier for me, I’ve decided to split it up, doing one turtle at a time. So today we're starting out with Leo. Hope you’ll enjoy💙

Warnings: Mentioning of drinking at a wedding💙

You and Leo’s wedding wasn’t planned. Who would have thought. Leo, who liked to keep everything organised and liked feeling like he was in control of his life, did not plan his marriage with his future wife. But just like your pregnancy with you and Leo’s first born was unplanned, and very much a surprise to not just the two of you, but the whole family and your friends, so was your marriage - unplanned.

Leo proposed to you when you were one and a half months along. He did it one evening, when the residence of the lair was having dinner for them, their partners and their closest friends. It was there that Leo dinged a knife against a glass, before standing up to hold a speech. It started out being about friends and family, before slowly becoming about love. And then, pulling a small box out of his pocket, before getting down on one knee, Leo asked you to marry him, to the sound of every woman around the table screaming, almost about to cry of happiness.

You and Leo’s wedding was sweet and low key thing, taking place in the farm house a month later, with just your family, Leo’s family, along with your closest friends, being April, Casey and Vern in attendance. Splinter was the one to wed you, as Leo thought it important to let the oldest of his family do it. And Splinter was honored, and thrilled to call you his daughter in law.

After your small wedding ceremony, you all had a nice dinner together. And with this being the first wedding in the turtles’ family, they did not hold back from the speeches, nor the sayings or doings they had seen at weddings on TV. And neither did Leo’s brothers hold back on the alcohol, having several toasts in honor of their oldest brother, taking an arrow to the knee for the woman he loved for so long. And when the speeches finally came to be Mikey’s turn, the poor guy had celebrated so much on your and Leo’s behalf, that his girlfriend had to take the glass from him.

After the dinner and the small get together was over, you and Leo stayed at the farm house, where you would have a two week long honeymoon, basically just enjoying yourselves and the nature around the house.

Thoughts about ROTB

I expected an action blockbuster and I got an action blockbuster. I am neither dissapointed nor pleasantly surprised. It's not something I would have bothered to watch much less drag my friends if it weren't Transformers, but under those expectations, it's a perfectly enjoyable movie.

Well, let's talk about what I care about most: Optimus. I was expecting him to be angry and jaded from the trailers and he was. I do kinda like that since he was given a reason to and he became his more gentle self by the end. I mean people looked at the camera to explain his deal which is eeeh, but I don't expect subtle characterization from these thigns, so it's fine. At least he was given something compared to mostly everyone else who didn't get much in terms of character so I can't complain. I do like that he blames himself for everything and externalizes that, reminds me of IDW1. What was a bit jarring for me is his disregard for humans, I don't mind an OP that's violent or angry, but an OP that doesn't care for all life is eeeeh? Well, I guess they needed to give him an arc and he gets over it, he was having a rough time. I liked him pleading to Noah instead of blasting him. Also him being like "I'm going to do extreme acts on violence on Scourge" due to him killing Bee. When he rips off Scourge's head spine included that was sexy. His seriousness was effectively used for comedy so that was nice. I feel I still would have liked something different but eh, what did I expect, really. It's fine.

Noah was good too, again no subtle characterization here, but he wasn't an annoying protagonist or anything. He was fun to follow and I like how he inmediately volunteers to go look for the transwarp key.

Mirage really was the highlight of the movie, he was so fun. Oh I love him. His interactions with Nova were great. My friends were shipping them.

Primal was nice. So was Elena.

Wish Arcee had gotten more, and I wish Rhinox had gotten actual lines, but ah, the movie barely had time to do all it wanted to do. Sucks because I feel like if we had gotten more of Bee and Optimus, his death and Optimus reaction to it would have been more effective, there really weren't particulary interesting dynamics. But I mean, at least they cared to try to endear you to the characters. I'm told by my friends that this was was better tahn Bayverse and Sam Witwicky. But I feel Bumblebee with its more contained story did better in this regard.

Ironically, even tho I was the one who cares about Transformers and asked my friends to comes, they are the ones who watched the Bay movies while I haven't.

Bee should have stayed dead. I mean, I knew he was coming back because trailer, but he should have stayed dead. It did make me sad that he died and reviving characters feels so cheap to me. Also, it would have confirmed that this isn't the same universe as Bayverse.

Like seriously, what's the status on that, this is very important, how do I tag this movie in my continuity tags???

Nice that they bothered to say the aliens aren't the cause of all the things pre-colonial did. I mean, the bar is on the fucking floor for this sort of thing, but yeah

Friends asked if the Inti Raymi was legit or if this was a James Bond Día de Muertos sort of deal. It seems part of the Inti Raymi celebration takes places in the Sacsayhuamán ruins were the Autobots arrive and were completely empty.

Anyway, I likes the action!! I loved the transformations so much, they were extremely sexy. Friends say that they likes these designs better, but the action wasn't as bombastic as the Bay movies and the CG wasn't as well integrated at times. But honestly it was all good enough for me. I have no complaints. That time Mirage transformerd to turn around while on the car chase, ah, so good. I really would watch this again just to see the robots move.

I.... was not expecting G. I. Joe

Hi there!!

I adore your TMNT content!! It’s so wholesome and fun, I love your OC too!! Her design is so lovely! 😁 it’s nice to see Mikey get some attention in the shipping department!

My question is, how did you get into the Bayverse movies? Do you have a favorite version of the turtles? And what’s your favorite thing to draw? Sorry if this is a lot! 😅😂

Thank you very much, and have a great evening!! 😁

Hello hello!

Ahhh thank you so much! It means a lot to hear that you enjoy them all 💕✨

He deserves love and all the attention!

Well, I was invited out to the cinema to watch TMNT 2014 by my sister and her then bf.

I was having a bad time and she didn’t want me sat home alone and invited me to tag a long. Neither of us were tmnt fans but her bf thought it looked fun

So we went, and I came out of the cinema a have been a fan ever since!

My favourite version is definitely Bayverse/2014/2016 since they’re the turtles I got into tmnt with 💕🧡

However, I do love ROTTMNT and what little I’ve seen of 2003.

I’m also inspired by 2007, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it…

No worries about it being a lot! I appreciate you sending me the ask! 💕

Hope you have a good day! ^^

[masquerain-with-a-mask]

Have i mentioned that iatstia leo went to at least one bayverse timeline at some point?

Have i mentioned that the second bay raph saw him he IMMEDIATELY took him under his wing and became super protective of him?

Have i mentioned that he died protecting leo from the kraang?

Have i mentioned that not only did neither the bay turtles, splinter, april nor casey blame leo for raph's death, but that they tried to give him raph's bandana because they knew how much it would've meant to him?

Have i mentioned that leo almost broke down when they did?

Have i mentioned that despite everything, leo still blames himself for raph's death?

Now I have :)

[imagine-the-energon]

So y'all know I don't consider AOE/TLK as part of the Bayverse canon.

Apparently, neither do the books, cause in the DOTM novel, the war just ends??? And the Decepticons go and rebuild Cybertron like they did in G1 while the Autobots stay on Earth???

I need to go read the books holy shit-
