Firrib? Rirfib???

[tronmike82]

A dubious little creature.

The boys are finally together!!

[technoganicspy]

RIRFIB this.

RIBFIR that.

I think the menaces just switch up paint every so often to mess with people.

Fandom-specific terminology is sooo interesting . Little pockets of internet subculture making their own fucking codes and nomenclature and shorthand ..

Transformers: Mosaic #598 - "Daydream Believers"

wada sez: Skids’ most notable story was the Marvel Comics issue “Showdown!”, where he formed a bond (a romance?!) with the human cashier Charlene; they’re ultimately forced to part ways and return to their separate lives. Here, Charlene imagines herself in a wild west saloon; Skids imagines a Cybertronian equivalent, and they ultimately share the same fantasy of life together—the dreamlike thought-bubble effect surrounding most of these panels fades away for the final two, which I think is meant to imply that Charlene really does reunite with Skids! Rumble and Frenzy are seen arguing over whether FIBRIR or RIBFIR. A full list of songs quoted in this piece is given at the bottom of the strip, but it’s kind of small, so check below for a full list of lyricist credits and links, along with clean inks and colors.

“Let’s Get Away From It All” - Tom Adair (listen)

“Eve of Destruction” - P. F. Sloan (listen)

“Somewhere” (from West Side Story) - Stephen Sondheim (listen)

“The Yellow Rose of Texas” - traditional (listen)

“Down on the Corner” - John Fogerty (listen)

“Feelin’ Good Again” - Robert Earl Keen (listen)

“Consider Yourself” (from Oliver!) - Lionel Bart (listen)

Fun fact: Tfp's got toys/designs for Rumble/Frenzy I have them and I love them 10/10 they are the only ones not in closet storage rn

They also had a few short scenes in the aligned novels but that's about it I think for the aligned cont 😔

Tfp is a favorite definitely

Making character playlists is fun until one becomes so incredibly specific to one short-lived version of a character and you have to make a completely separate one for the other versions/general idea of said character

We must settle it

I love how tweeting about Transformers actively again immediately had twitter put RIRFIB/RIBFIR discourse on my for you page. Never change, guys.

RIBFIR

If you're new to the TF Fandom, here are the universal constants that exist on tumblr. Fandom fanatics feel free to add any I missed;

We use the tag #Macadam for tf content. Its the bar/old oil house from lore. Knowing that means you're cool. If its Sexy Narsty Robolewds, use the tag #Valveplug. If its Brutal Narsty Blood Time, use the tag #Robogore.

Anyone and everyone can be babygirl

Especially the old men

___ HAS FALLEN! I, STARSCREAM NOW LEAD THE DECEPTICONS!!!!

Megatron Monday, Wheeljack Wednesday, Thundercracker Thursday

The never ending fight about what color TFP Ratchet is

Deep fried Transformers. I don't mean pixely and over saturated. I mean people keep battering and frying their toys. I cannot explain this

The take over of other fandoms posts. Transformers can and will be applied to everything. Anything and everything can and will be related back to Transformers

Mr. John Hasbro (vague and unspecific)

Be kind to the OC Creators and Self-shippers. Cringe is dead and if you don't like their vibes, just DNI. It's Tumblr. You're on their turf now.

Transformers for Trans Rights. We love the Queers here 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

[oneheadedcerberus]

so it seems the recent transformers crossover comics have taken a RIRFIB stance which is..... a choice.
