Quick ref for Jean's wheelchair. Goggles put it together for her from a scrapped sentry bot. In addition to the minigun it also has a turret hidden in the back leg

My personal headcanon as to why assaultrons only show up in Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 is that they were still very much a prototype robot that House was making and despite it's blaster head was nowhere near as advance as a mark 2 securitron

He used data from the assaultrons and sentry bots to make the mark 2 OS for the securitrons and views all other robots that he made as inferior in comparison to securitrons

He initially made the assaultrons to combat General Atomics' Mr. Gutsy but the reason why assaultrons were never widely used by The US Military is because House became to absorbed with Vegas to get assaultrons used nation wide

Were you previously aware...

That Fallout 4's deathclaw, eyebot, sentry bot, and assaultron were all modelled without any concept sketches? The 3D artists would go "straight into ZBrush and [played] around until the creature in the sculpt emerged."

This information was revealed in The Art of Fallout 4. You can check out the full transcript of it here

A new plumbot, the sentry bot from Fallout 4 and 76 makes its way into the Sims 3. Sadly, there's quite a lot of warping and odd animation, plus it goes through the walls and many other things. That being said, I'm just happy to have a well armored tanky robot. Please enjoy!

Has nobody ever thought to use SENTRY BOTS as vehicles in Fallout? Imagine a chariot-style setup, but it’s being hauled by a sentry bot.

Caravans, too.

I've decided that I am going to be a good man. I found that the USS Constitution was run aground on a series of condemned buildings. I helped the robots break free from it.

Do you know who wasn't goddamn helpful? My ex-synth wife's new girlfriend. Piper is a goddamned moron.

"Ron? Ron? This didn't sail here, did it?" she asked me.

And I never felt so upset about the state of the wasteland in my life. This is what passes for a journalist and she was earnestly asking me if this ancient sailing ship sailed on top of this building, while we were looking at these rocket engines.

Anyways, the robots are dumb as shit and sailed it into another skyscraper, so nothing was really learned from this venture.

I got another new hat and if I wasn't already married to Preston, I would have married Ironsides. Plus he didn't seem to mind when I massacred the scavengers with a missile launcher and ate their scattered remains like so much delicious red gelatin.

[practicalsolutions]

So I read in the enemy profile in the terminal that sentry bots render their surroundings in a higher resolution than most machines. It has something to do with their long distance aim. Imagine nobody else can see hell for what it is, but you get to see the horrors in 4k? That shit probably sucks.

One day I’ll make this into a show and you’ll be sorry!

[zzoupz]

I still think this was the hardest image I've ever drawn like I'm not reaching this level again

[sluttyassaultron]

I find that most people consider robots to be cold beings... but what about the warm / scalding hot parts? intentional or not, some have gotta be cozy. is it shitty cooling? maybe. was it intentional? I dunno. I need more toasty robots.

anyways, go stick a hand on / in an exhaust port for the hell of it.

Japanese G1 continuity is absolutely not normal about girls but damned if they don't give us some of the best ones

There was a significant amount of Transformers continuity released between 1987 and around 2007 that was produced in Japanese and is really only known to most English-speaking fans through fansubs, dubs that were only released in Australia, and the like. Shows like Headmasters, Victory, and Zone. Manga like Victory and 15 Go Go Go Teletraan (which was really mostly Kiss Players). Radio shows like Kiss Players.

I'm gonna be super up front. Japanese G1 is not normal about femmes in any way, shape or form. At the same time, it gave us some of the BEST and most underused female characters in the Transformers universe.

Headmasters, which came out right after the US G1 show ended, is particularly egregious. In Headmasters, Arcee has been reduced to Fort Max's administrative assistant, uses ridiculously polite and subservient language, and is also the only medic. And being a medic would be kind of badass if they let her be as badass as Ratchet, you know? But they absolutely do not.

Also, in Headmasters, Carly (now married to Spike) allows her son--a freaking child, not even a teenager--to go on missions when Spike can't and a human is needed, because uh, for some reason it's better for a 12 year old boy to go, not an adult woman?

But most of the good femmes don't come from Headmasters. And some of the best femmes we have are from Japanese G1.

Super-God Masterforce made it up to us by giving gave us Minerva, a human girl who is a Headmaster with a robot body (transtector) making her basically a bad ass mecha pilot, and who actively does fight.

The Victory manga gives us Esmeral, Deathsaurus' incredibly classy wife, and Lyzack, Leozack's twin sister, who is in charge of defending the homefront but really does want to go out and fight. Illumina appears in both the Victory manga and the anime. She's a little human girl who has a crush on Jan Minakaze and is always trying to get people to choose nonviolence.

(Lyzack later appears in an English-language comic - the Wings Universe--wherein she's basically Deathsaurus' servant and Starscream hits on her. I don't like that.)

There are a number of great femmes who were only ever toys. The Cobalt Sentries set gave us Howlback, leader of the Decepticon military police (called the Cobalt Sentries). She is basically Ravage's twin sister but instead of being super stealthy she can turn your attacks right back on you.

(Later she appears in several English language comics and in at least one she is canonically trans. I'm not a fan of her depiction in the SG Recordicons Batman tribute arc, though.)

The Unite Warriors toyline - Takara's response to Combiner Wars, basically - gave us the combiner Megatronia, made up of Megaempress, and her four guards, Lunaclub (sometimes called Luna Clover or Luna Trefle), Flowspade, Moonheart, and Trickdiamond. They are incredibly awesome.

(IDW 2019 used Trickdiamond, but none of the others. Tricky was one of Swindle's contacts.)

Then there's the elephant in the room that everyone pretends isn't there...Kiss Players.

So, okay. There is nothing normal about Kiss Players whatsoever. On the other hand, I'd rather listen to KP than watch RID2015 which is just blatant copaganda from hell.

Kiss Players had an interesting plot involving little bits of Galvatron and Unicron getting into humans and creating the Kiss Players--humans who could give TFs a powerup by kissing them and then merging with their internals somehow. Then there are the Legions, the dick-tongued monsters that everyone who hasn't actually listend to the show or read the manga thinks are Megatron.

The dick-tongued monsters are gross. It is also gross that some of the Kiss Players are barely teenagers and definitely not adults and are constantly ending up in Situations.

But the plot centres around the apparent rise of Convoy, or Optimus, from the dead, and his transformation into a weird groomery dude, which many people don't understand there was an actual reason for, because it's not Optimus, it's someone else riding around in his body.

Melissa Faireborn is like if you chopped Marissa Faireborn's IQ in half, dyed her hair blond and threw out any pants or skirts that covered her knees. She is nothing like Marissa and I treat them as cousins, but Xiaoxiao Li is amazing and her real lover.

Anyhow, this female scientist (Dr Amaou) lost her mind over the loss of her daughter during the events of the 1986 movie et sequelae, and she's got to be stopped from turning Atari and her Autorooper robot pal into a permanent fusion to reincarnate her daughter Shizuku (whom for some reason I always want to call Setsuna instead).

It's a little confusing because most of the really good parts of the plot got jammed into a few episodes near the end of the season, although once you know what it is, it's clear that it's being set up. That artist just likes borderline lolicon way too much.

The second season of KP is very squeaky clean and sends the girls out to collect what they think are Allspark fragments, and they are very annoyed because Ravage, whom they call "black panther man" keeps getting in their way and fucking with them, only to later find out that the bots who gave them this task are Unicronian heralds and Ravage is trying to stop them from helping Unicron do what Unicron does.

Rosanna, everyone's favourite robot pop idol, comes from the second season of KP, although you don't see very much of her or her companions Glit and Sundor.

Incidentally KP sets up the Unicron Trilogy and some of its characters end up in the UT--which did come to the US, and gave us Alexis Thi Dang.

(This post is brought to you because I just wrote an Esmeral thing and someone was musing separately about Megaempress as a parent and I almost ended up writing this post while reblogging them, because I'm a nerd with a hyperfixation).
