Elita-1: Optimus needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture. Intel has told us there's at least 7

B-127: sweet! I can already see some wow this is easy why didn't he...

Elita-1: They're the same picture.

B-127: hey OP! Got the pictures u'know it was actually pretty easy like idk why u didn't do it ur self I did it in record time if there was an iacon 2000 for this I would so win! Working for the government is so fun...

Floating Megoplita was detected.

[koumori-1999]

caught in a bad romance (literally)

[swervesfirstblaster]

more oplita angst and now its x100 more painful and sad because this is a complex and more serious version than what their g1 counterparts endured :(( this elita unfortunately didnt had the lucky of having the other fembots with her at this point to at least support her shes totally all by herself in cybertron knowing that optimus will never return to her side again officially and optimus knows that he caused so much pain to her and the other autobots but he need to focus on the other side of the war, on earth, while whats left for elita? more loses and endless fight in dying planet. but at the same time her saying that they can use earth just shows how no matter if its an autobot or decepticon, cybertronians will always have that feeling of taking something that isn't theirs to replace what they destroyed.

what is more sad is the fact she finally found optimus and immediately was hitten with his abandoning of both and her cybertron, her little hope of getting him on her side again was doomed from the start

Hey, wet paper bag Megatron anon again. So glad you received that ask because tubmlr likes eating mine.

Megatron and his crew absolutely should take a while longer to get out. I imagine lugnut would use that time as a sort of penance for "failing the cause" somehow by getting wrung out by an autobot half his size, and Blitzwing probably moved on from it. I don't see him as the kind to get hung up on a one night stand no matter how wild tbh.

Megatron, though? He goes through all five stages of grief and then manages to invent a whole new one somehow. He can't plan the escape because he's fighting himself, but by the time Sentinel decides to strike a deal with them (don't ask me why, this au of mine isn't fully fleshed out) he's fully accepted it and plotting how to get a repeat preference.

I think Sentinel and Arachnia definitely should have a bittersweet "old friend group nostalgia" type of relationship, and I think they should be made close again by them trying to stop Optimus from Banging The War Criminal (tm), only to find out this wouldn't be the first time.

LMAOOO they think they're about to prevent the fuckpocolypse or some shit by preventing the megop— except the megop is already well on the way

Oh Lugnut... I don't think he betrayed the cause🥺 (I am biased)

Yes, Megatron does. He figures himself out... Eventually.

Who is tfa Megatron to deny himself such an opportunity?

Sentinel making a deal with the decepticons is an interesting change, but considering how the last deal that was made between the tfa autobots and decepticons was exiling the decepticons I can kinda see that happening again

(preferably a full peace scenario would be great but I'm not sure tfa Megatron or tfa Sentinel have it in them to put in the hard work for it) (but hey! You never know when it comes to aus) (anything is possible in an especially wild au)

EXACTLY EXACTLY EXACTLY ON OPTIMUS, SENTINEL, AND BLACKARACHNIA

Sentinel Magnus and Blackarachnia working together under a mutual interest has gotta be sooooo interesting, especially if it's a bit rough at first

One of my favorite parts of phase 2 (and indeed one of the few moments I resonated with IDW Prowl) was when the neutrals were coming back to Cybertron and Prowl said that he refused to let Autobots be pushed aside and overruled after they were the ones who fought for freedom for 4 million years (the exact wording escapes me atm).

And I mean, that resentment still holds true even once the colonists come on bc like. As much as it's true that Cybertron's culture is fucked up, and as funny as it can be to paint Cybertronians as a bunch of weirdos who consider trying to kill someone as a common greeting not important enough to hold a grudge over.... The colonists POV kind of pissed me off a lot of times, as did the narrative tone/implications that Cybertronians are forever warlike and doomed to die by their own hands bc it just strikes me as an extremely judgemental and unsympathetic way to deal with a huge group of people with massive war PTSD and political/social tensions that were rampant even before the war?

Like, imagine living in a society rife with bigotry and discrimination where you get locked into certain occupations and social strata based on how you were born. The political tension is so bad there's a string of assassinations of politicians and leaders. The whole planet erupts into an outright war that leads (even unintentionally) to famine and chemical/biological warfare that destroys your planet. Both sides of the war are so entrenched in their pre-war sides and resentment for each other that this war lasts 4 million years and you don't even have a home planet any more. Then your home planet gets restored and a bunch of sheltered fucks come home and go "ewww why are you so violent?? You're a bunch of freaks just go live in the wilderness so that our home can belong to The Pure People Who Weren't Stupid And Evil Enough To Be Trapped In War" and then a bunch of colonists from places that know nothing about your history go "lol you people are so weird?? 🤣🤣 I don't get why y'all are fighting can't you just like, stop??? Oh okay you people are just fucked up and evil and stupid then" ((their planets are based on colonialism where their Primes wiped out the native populations btw whereas the Autobots and OP in particular fought to save organics. But that never gets brought up as a point in their favor)) as if the damage of a lifetime of war and a society that was broken even before the war can just magically go away now that the war is over.

Prowl fucking sucks but he was basically the only person that pointed out the injustice of that.

And then from then on out most of the characters from other colonies like Caminus and wherever else are going "i fucking hate you and your conflicts" w/ people like literal-nobody Slide and various Camiens getting to just sit there lecturing Optimus about how Cybertronians are too violent for their own good and how their conflicts are stupid, with only brief sympathetic moments where the Cybertronians get to be recognized as their own ppl who deserve sympathy before going right back to being lambasted.

Like I literally struggled to enjoy the story at multiple points because there was only so much I could take of the characters I knew and loved being raked over coals constantly while barely getting to defend themselves or be defended by the narrative so like. It was just fucking depressing and a little infuriating to read exRID/OP

[angzt33]
