#not that exrid-op is completely devoid of that earth is special sentiment but you know

Transformers can get annoying when the Cybertronians are all "the Earth and humans are so magical and special" in the continuities that has the war spread across the galaxy. Bc is like, these guys must have seen all manner of planets, they obviously only think so highly of Earth bc is the planet the authors live on.

Which is why I think is all the more fun when in exRID/OP Optimus is all "Earth, this magnificent place that I now consider my home" and the humans are all like "shut the fuck up and leave us alone". Like, Earth is not all that special, it just happens to be the planet that was there when the war ended and so Optimus is projecting all the other planets he couldn't save and also his midlife crisis.
