#next to ultra magnus

[wortsandall]

seeing people say that the decepticons feel hollow in tfp is crazy to me because its the first media ive seen that has made me care about any of them. (besides starscream)

like yeah they arent the most emotional and they snark at each other a lot but they have separate clear personalities and motivations. they just dont shout them the way that the autobots do which like...duh

but knockout is the best example of this as he wants to get back at silas for breakdown even if he then experiments on his body later. i mean even in that episode (tfp:bh ep 8) he says that he imagines breakdown would be fine with it because it hurts silas so he's clearly thinking about him. and him working with starscream-he literally says to him that he always did appreciate him (heavy paraphrasing i dont quite remember exact wording for either of those examples(underutilized duo for sure))

in comparison tfes is very...different. in a way that grates on me so i stopped at ep 10. mostly bc im not a child, but in the way they wanted to show the decepticons as people. which feels like they sanded down the edges of all these characters and they feel like completely different people. and i know its a kids show but i really don't like it. and i find them being in a truce weird. i dont like seeing megatron working happily with optimus, even if he has complaints about how ghost works and whatever. but thats more personal than real criticism and im just yapping now.

anyway-ratchet, starscream, and knockout supremacy

MORE TITAN AU!!! of the cityspeaker rodimus variety <3

extra context for these:

this is inspired by the concept of the city/internals of Megatron changing colour in response to heat- something Rodimus has plenty of! (as mentioned in asks here and here)

in this AU Megatron rarely speaks to/acknowledges his cityspeakers, so Rodimus is trying to get a rise out of him the entire time :]

majority of the dialogue is by @callsign-relic whos blog this au lives on! the first section of dialogue is from one of the first titan au posts :]

check out the #titan au tag over on Relic's blog for more Thoughts about this au and its many offshoots!!

Ultra Magnus's BIG TWO-PAGE entrance immediately being followed up by him just seeing Shockwave and immediately retreating is so fucked up. Like HERE HE IS, the BIG GUY READY TO FIGHT and he's intimidating as SHIT, but all Shockwave had to do was stand there and allow the memories to wash over Ultra Magnus and it disarmed him immediately. Whatever Shockwave did to him over all those centuries was so unbelievably fucked in the head, Magnus can't even look at him without freaking out and running away

yeah the robots are still doing doughnuts in my brain

Y'all really like the Smokes and Magnus posts!

So obviously you're getting more!!

Due to Smokescreen coming into the picture later than in canon, the last key is kinda... Lost, to both factions. No one know who this guy in the last set of encryptions is. All they know is that this guy is very important and likely knows the location of the last omega key (how on earth does the rest of the omega key/lock plotline go if smokescreen isn't there?? surprisingly close to canon, but i'm still working out all the kinks)

Arcee and Jack get to meet Ultra Magnus, who Arcee knows and respects, and tumbling out behind him is- That's the guy from the omega key stuff!

Magnus is very confused as to how everybody seems to know his little buddy when his little buddy knows exactly none of them personally.

So- Breakdown and the phase shifter are kinda with Optimus at this point in time (no, breakdown does not get to steal the possible next prime position from smokescreen) But!! When Breakdown and Optimus later rejoin the Autobots, Smokescreen will get his preferred relic of choice. (in the meantime, magnus has a whole arsenal he can use as he pleases)

Oh, and, apparently, Wheeljack likes none of the new Autobots. The first is Breakdown, for very obvious reasons, the next are Magnus and Smokey. Ultra Magnus because he already hates him in canon and Smokescreen because Smokescreen is clearly very close to Magnus and respects him. They're besties! These new guys are not fun in his opinion. And he likes reminding all of them about this. (well, he enjoys reminding magus and bd. with smokes, well- smokes will look like a kicked puppy if someone is too mean to him. instead, jackie teaches the kid to gamble. it doesn't end well)

Does Breakdown want to punch Wheeljack? Kind of. Very much so. But he's an Autobot now and besides, some of Wheeljack's ire is deserved, they were enemies for a long time after all.

As a show of good faith toward the remaining Decepticons at the beginning of a new, united Cybertron, newly appointed Senators Bumblebee and Soundwave allowed Shatter and Dropkick to enlist into Autobot City's Defense Team.

These two turned out to be... not the best choices.

The city may have fallen to Insurgent Decepticon occupation had it not been for young recruits Hot Rod and Arcee's accidental interception of Shatter's communication with the fugitive Starscream.

To replace the errant Defense Team members, Springer and Blurr were reassigned from Iacon to Autobot City in their stead.

have not watched transformers: one, but from what i've seen so far proves my point about transformers: animated having the only good sentinel prime in any transformers media ever.

First piece of the year!! ❄️⛄️ (version without snow and my og doodle under the cut :p )

[transingthoseformers]

What if we switch Minimus and Dominus in the story?

What might be the consequences?

The Search: Remaining Characters

we have autobots and decepticons already covered up, but there is still two characters left to talk about.

Ultra Magnus: - Lost his leg in a battle, his new one was made poorely so he uses wheelchair sometimes - Has an absolutely normal unsuspicious cane where no weapons are hidden for sure - After loosing his leg he retired, but kinda forgot to tell anyone so autobots and decepticons alike think he's dead, and his figure grew into a legendary one - Way older than any other transformer present in the story

Sal Kralp: - Doesn't really like her full name or discussing her job - Scientist on the human Mira 2 research facility - Alligned with autobots - The alliance mostly comes down to friendly chatting

what do you think of Optimus and Hot rods relationship, yknow if he gets to hang out with hot rod before kicking the bucket

oooh thats a good question. in my mind i don’t think optimus thinks that much of hot rod. i think he LIKES hot rod and obviously he’s nice to him etc etc but i dont think optimus would have ever guessed hot rod would be his successor. they’re fundamentally opposed in opinions and personality.

like optimus CHOOSES ultra magnus to carry the matrix of leadership. he doesn’t know hot rod is the one who can open it- if he did, surely he would have just given it to hot rod, and saved them all lot of grief. but during the movie, hot rod continuously proves himself worthy of the matrix, listening and learning from the people around him, and i think that’s why optimus gives him the name rodimus when he finally unleashes the matrix- optimus recognized him as worthy.

but when they’re alive, i don’t think optimus would think twice about hot rod. he’s a great kid but not the next prime. that’s his unruly leaps before he looks fun loving low on the chain of command hot rod. that’s his friend, surely, but not who he would have picked.

as for hot rod, i think he has an amicable relationship with optimus. probably tries to get him to lighten up more and teases him a lot. also doesn’t hesitate to disobey one of his orders if he thinks it’s wrong, which can lead them to butting heads. but hot rod also has a great deal of respect for optimus, which is why taking on the mantle after him is such an enormous burden. the shadow that he lives under is HUGE. hot rod is terrified of not living up to him, not only because everyone else’s thinks he should be like optimus, but because he ALSO thinks he should be like optimus, because he also respects and admired him and feels so much dread and guilt when he believes himself guilty of getting him killed.

i think the idea of them having a mentor-mentee relationship is fun but ideally i actually don’t want that. i think it’s more interesting when they don’t have a particularly strong relationship beyond a bit of hero worship from hot rod (that skyrockets after optimus dies), that optimus doesn’t view hot rod as his successor, that they’re amicable friends but if it had been optimus’s decision he would have never chose hot rod. optimus will choose someone else to carry on his legacy but in the end it isn’t his choice- it’s the matrix’s.

Continued from here! ( @cybertr0nian )

Sorry, Ultra Magnus. She only knows baby language. The little one was pleased when he picked her up in his huge palm. Star then touched the palm beneath her with her little hands, seeming to be comparing hers with his own. She seemed to be delighted by the massive difference as she began to laugh.

Safe to say that this baby does not hate his aft.

Nothing is more amusing to me than screwy sizes in Transformers media so here are Ultra Magnus and Eject from Marvel UK Transformers #185.
