The entire concept of shattered glass rescue bots is so fucking funny to me. I know it could easily be turned edgy and angsty with abusive boss heatwave but genuinely I cannot see them as anything other than baby mode Saturday morning cartoon villains that mildly inconvenience people without actually causing that much damage. And they all still love each other, they just fight more.

Just like with a lot of shows, people just want to wrap things up for the end of the last season and so they rush (and ruin!) things.

And just like with a lot of shows, it would’ve been better if their were more seasons! No reboots, no new characters, no new animation style, just continue doing what your doing damn it!

I’d have loved to see more of Madeline and honestly? It would be a great arch for Priscilla too! We don’t really know how much Priscilla knows about what her mother does and it seems odd to me that she’s never questioned it. Also for being mom and daughter, we don’t see them interact a lot in the show, which is weird.

After rewatching Rescue Bots, I kinda wish we had seen more of Madeline Pynch. Cos while I like Morocco, it would've been cool to see her take over as the bots' and Burns' main villain after his departure (What was the point of even writing out Morocco if you're just going to replace him with a second Morocco with an admittedly cooler MorBot)

And it i feels like they were setting up for her to be the next big villain but never went through with it? Like, at the end of Spellbound, she tells Priscilla that the phones have been recalled due to them needing a stronger signal, implying that she plans on hypnotizing the town again, but it's never followed up on? The closest we get is Morocco using on on Cody. And she gets away at the end of season two, but instead of remaining a recurring problem for the team, she vanishes until season four.

And then in season four, Quickshadow states that Pynch has done enough for Optimus to have Quickshadow investigate her, something that even Morocco - and keep in mind, Optimus has seen the damage Morocco can do under the right circumstances - hasn't managed. But then she's arrested in the same episode.

idk, it just kinda feels like a waste of a character.

Ok, how about a MLB x TFP crossover?? Any idea of how the Akuma forms of the human character would be??

If you don't know anything about Miraculous, be happy to reply to this ask with that answer lol

hi. It's been so long but I'm finally out on vacation yeeeeepeeeeee

Getting this ask, my thoughts swirled with crazy ideas for costumes or forms that the Akumatized Burns could have.

Like making Charlie have robocop armor, giving Kade a ripp off superman costume or be completely gold to show off how important he is, give Dani a reflective form or an evil version of her costume with her having different color skin, Graham just be his beast form, and Cody...I wouldn't know where to start 😅

Maybe his former Rescue Boy costume that looks eviler or with reverse colors, sor of like an SG situation.

But you know what, even be cooler?

If the Burns were given bot forms when Akumatized!

Charlie is a police enforcer bot that is equipped with capture nets and collapsible cages.

(Chase had a bit of a crush on him and was willing to follow along....but ultimately put on house arrest for finally trying to stand up to the chief)

Kade is a muscle car/fire truck bot that uses his strength and power to become the "perfect" rescue bot, but could easily turn into a bully and beat the other bots into submission.

Dani is a helicopter bot who uses her "searchlight" as her Akuma power, forcing anyone under its glow to reveal the "ugliest secrets" they have.

Graham would be a beastformer, who bipedal mode looks like his beast version while his animal form is more lion or bear looking.

Cody would be a minibot of some kind, his Akuma abilities ranging from using an army of drones to freeze people into a "picture perfect" way or use chips that he has the controller to so people "act" in the best way possible. The Akumatized version of Cody reasoning that brainwashing isn't bad as long as he dosent force people to do bad things, just encourage them to act "peaceful". Kind of like the Collector from TOH.

(Extra info for this crossover, that instead of Gabriel, it's Morocco who sends out the Akumas, wanting the miraculous in order to extend his life and make himself immortal)

What's with the jules verne and thaddeus morocco homoerotisism

Are they gay or European?

Both with this writing holy fuck

[transingthoseformers]

In my opinion human villains in Transformers can work if you make them really despicable like Silas, really smart like Mandroid, or both like Meltdown.

I liked a lot of the human villains we've seen in transformers, but as I've learned today my opinions in transformers are rather permissive (see: me not caring that bayverse isn't made well) so I may not be a good judge of whether a human villain works or not

[agentsquirrelsgotrobots]

Dude, I'm reading you rb mafia au take...and let me tell you that I'm loving it. The family dynamics is just so damn funny (well, at least the boulgram part. Those two as pinky and brain? Hilarious, and it really suits them; platonic boulgram? Yes pls)

As for the rest, not gonna lie: I'm a bit sad about having to see Wave go (and no kadewave)...but that's something I'm willing to pay if that means we will get more of this au, do they even get along? Or just a business relationship?. Daniblades? Pls give us more, cause they lack severe representation in the fandom...and as for chch, I know the oneshot you are talking about, and its so damn good. Chase is a subby simp and everyone knows it.

If it's not that much of a spoiler, do they (Dani and Charlie) actually end up falling for their partners, as in truly in love? Even if everything is twisted and fucked up cause we are talking about a mafia, almost sg, au?

Also...why do I have the feeling that little sunshine ray Cody will devolve into a little devil? Cause he's daddy's little sunshine boy, and he took after him, even if he won't admit it.

Anyway, love the au and can't wait to read more. Wish you the best dude 😊 😉

Dani and Blades is a spoiler, but I think you might like the ending of their story. I dropped a hint (more like a neon sign) in the post I just made.

Unfortunately, Kade and Heatwave will have to hate each other here. (But I do have some short ideas for the two of them)

The cops deserve each other. I am just going to leave it at that. Yeah, they ain't gonna be healthy together, but happy? Sureeeeeeeeeeeeee. Maybe. Depends if Chase gets smart or not.

Cody will still be sunshine, but a chaotic good/ distract Optimus figure. (If I end up introducing rescue boy, shit's gonna hit the fan fast)

That is going for everything. Once I kill off the first character (a minor one, but boy o boy will things escalate), there will be no stopping the incoming shitstorm.

And it looks like it might be a hurricane.

Class Doooooodlesss!

This is a collection of all the art scribbled in the margins of my notes this semester.

Apparently I need help.

Max Steel OC and Transformers Rescue Bots Crossover? I really am a weirdo.

What.

What have I done. Sun Wukong deserves so much better than this abonination.

Two villain (crushes?) drawings on the same page? Yes! Equinox from Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and the Six Eared Macaque from Monkie Kid.

Headlight! My baby!

Equinox! The OG Thanos! Yay!

... I don't know why I drew this. I just to want to destroy my feelings even more?! It hurts it hurts it hurts. WHYYYYY!!???? Wukong, why?! HE'S DEAD!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!

Poor Leyna can't even get a finished drawing of her pain? Hugging someone she has finally decided to love?!

I'll finish it someday. That girl is my baby. My child. My precious daughter. My very favorite OC ever.

Equinox was a really cool villain (who was voice by Oded Fehr so immediate points) that he has stuck with me since I was very little. I remember how badly he gave Batman. I rewatched it recently and Oded Fehr is EXCELLENT. He might be the best villain of the show.

And he has such a simple but cool design that he's fun to draw! What can I do with his expressions? How can I show him with just one eye's worth of emotion and body language? *mad scientist cackle

Alright sketch books, get ready to be filled with lots of Macaque, Equinox, and Leyna drawings!!!

I wonder how much it would take for Cody to take over Griffin Rock?? And what methods would he use 🤔

[m3talbunn3]

The Constructicons would be the more logical option due to Boulder (a construction based Autobot) being already part of the rescue team in the mainline aligned continuity, BUT the DJD would the funnier option.

In a Shattered glass version of alinged, would the Decepticon rescue team that lands on Earth be the constructicons or the DJD?

Akumatized Blades

for @ashlovesrescuebots

If you wanna rp with me, we can. We just have to give Blades a villain name and the Akumatized item and powers.

[blueikeproductions]

I’ve said before Transformers has struggled recently with its villains and recent material doesn’t change this.

Ever since this happened…

We’ve largely been stuck with poor man’s Vegeta Megatron.

And as such the series has lost its main villain, and become directionless.

The modern version of this trend started with Rescue Bots & RiD15, but it made sense in their respective series, and the replacement villains were treated like actual villains and are fondly remembered because of that.

It’s also not the first time Megatron was succeeded in leadership, as the Marvel Comics did this shockingly frequently.

With RatBat being the most unique case, in that he was the only one who largely succeeded in his efforts, and was a result of sincerely wanting to try something different.

I think that sincerity is long gone in favor of brand stagnation and “DEI” despite the later going out the door as of typing.

The usual replacement tends to be Galvatron, often depicted as an evolved Megatron through mystical means.

But Hasbro seems very reluctant to use Galvatron lately for whatever reason, instead usually having him as a (technically) separate character if he does show up.

Cyberverse kinda shows the current problem two fold. The bad writers convinced themselves they wrote a sympathetic Megatron when the writing shows him to still be certifiably insane and going through what is essentially an on the nose bad break up with Optimus. This extended to Megatron somehow being worthy of using the Matrix, and able to use it, despite Decepticons never typically being able to, and imply Optimus isn’t worthy of the Matrix, but never follow up on it.

To convince themselves and the audience that the regular CV Megatron was still a good person despite his atrocities, the writers pulled an Archie Sonic, and brought on their own Robo-Robotnik in Megatron X.

He too is apparently worthy of the Matrix and able to use it, despite completely destroying Cybertron and most, if not all, of its non Perfectcon inhabitants.

(To be fair, the idea of a Decepticon being able to use the Matrix goes back to Marvel G1 Thunderwing, but his actions helped corrupt the Matrix, creating the Dark Matrix Creature, but Cyberverse never states this is the case at all. This isn’t really a popular concept the series goes back to either, making Cyberverse the outlier.)

This ties back to Hasbro’s reluctance on Galvatron, as X was originally supposed to BE Galvatron in a Marvel G1 homage, but Hasbro said no.

So we’ve been left with a weird, but non committed, experimental phase of trying out different Villians to less than stellar results…

(Mandroid and Scourge are pretty good villains, but Mandroid quickly succumbed to bad writing, & Scourge was fairly quickly killed off, with no clear intent to go back to the Terrorcons and have a Movie Cyclonus based on the Armada version to take Scourge’s place.)

This feeds back into fan complaints about Hasbro’s unwillingness to try new things I’ve seen recently. In context the complaint was more wanting another Beast Wars like thing with new factions and new non G1 characters.

Like we HAVE been getting that with the Terrans and Terrorcons, but it’s clear kids aren’t that interested in them, and adult fans are as fickle as ever and not supporting it super well either. TFONE is pry the most damning, where it’s doing poorly across the planet theatrically, despite trying a new non-evergreen art style, and a much better version of Aligned/IDW caste system that simplifies it to Cogs & Cogless.

It’s not for lack of trying, but it’s also not grabbing kids well either.

This weird flip flopping recently came into play with Galactic Trials, the crappy looking racing game.

The game casts Nemesis Prime as the main villain, who tried to steal the relics of the Primes, but fail and cast the Chaos Emeralds, er, relics across the galaxy.

Here’s the weird part: this happens before the Great War began, with the Autobots and Decepticons now finding out in the present and scrambling to collect the relics for themselves. The story isn’t expanded and confuses things. Nemesis typically isn’t even a Prime, but a Decepticon clone of Optimus. Barring a few exceptions, the main deviation this MIGHT be referencing is IDW Nova Prime, who briefly became Nemesis Prime, powered by a Matrix like relic from the Dead Universe.

So does that mean in this universe the Matrix chose a guy literally named Nemesis to be Prime? Is this actually supposed to be Nova Prime via IDW? Is this Orion Pax’s black sheep of the product line? So many questions this game isn’t going to answer.

This is the frustrating part about all this. I like that they’re trying to branch out still, and I liked Nemesis Prime in IDW and back when he was Scourge in RiD01, but…

He’s kinda pointless here.

Why are we using a “new” character for a failing on launch, not-mobile game, when the plot would be much simpler in that Megatron or Starscream raided the vault of the Primes only for Optimus to intervene and launch the relics into space. Why is Nemesis the villain? For that matter, since it’s a racing game, shouldn’t the Stunticons be the villains?

This is where CyberWorld might be the make or break now.

I think slowly but surely, Hasbro is recognizing their past ideas on overusing antihero Megatron isn’t working, and that they need to properly commit to a successor if they don’t want Megatron to be a villain anymore.

Going by toy leaks, it appears they’ve decided to go BACK to Galvatron proper, but they also include Scorponok, who’s typically cast as a leader in some capacity (excluding Beast Wars).

(Until we learn more, I’m leaning towards their roles being similar to Superlink’s.)

So I think that’s a step in the right direction so far; going for Skybound’s aim of familiar but, they’re willing to pivot under better writing.

I think that’s where TFONE D-16 doesn’t work as a concept.

Like it if not, casual audiences and kids aren’t that invested in the idea of a wide eyed good boi Megatron who fell from grace or wants to redeem.

They want these kinds of power hungry megalomaniacal Megatrons, who are willing to go the extra mile just to upstage Optimus to stroke their own ego. Not high school bosom buddies with gay lover subtext that Stereotypical Tumblr-Twitter wants. And hopefully with what we’ve seen with Skybound, we’re going back to that Megatron soon. And if we don’t go back to Megatron strictly, then Galvatron might be the way to go cartoon wise.
