Please do explain the process I'm curious
Okay okay oka
So!
First of all, I carefully went through all the designs and noticed that many elements are repeated from character to character. Many of the characters share the same arms, legs, heads, and everything. Which led me to the idea that I don't need to imagine for myself what every element of Prowl's design looked like after getting the t-cog. I just need to see how the transformation changes the components Prowl is made of.
And what do you think - almost all of the parts Prowl is made of are found in other characters>:D
Next, all I need to do is look at how the transformation changed these pieces. And build Prowl's basic pieces out of them like a construction kit.
Now coloring is a tricky part.
It doesn't follow a clear system, but there are some vague patterns too.
The designs lean heavily on g1, so I took g1 Prowl as a basis. At the same time, those blue pieces remind me a lot of Earthspark Prowl, so he was taken as a reference too. (Transformers media always uses its own different generations as references. I figured I would better use the already existing official concept instead of my headcanons)
As a result. Yaaay he has doorwings~
Also ahaha yeah his chevron is still pretty small but let's face it. Tf one artstyle doesn't really allow it's characters heads to be sharp and pointy, they all are kind of rounded? I believe tf one Prowl's chevron wouldn't be big enough to change his silhouette.
So. Yeah this is it. I can assure you I tried my absolute best to avoid implementing my own vision on him and focused on matching the movie style instead. (And let me tell you haha if I designed him to look like I personality want he would look waaaay different)
#maccadam#transformers#prowl#tf one#transformers one#tf one prowl#ironhide#sideswipe#Jazz#If i designed him as I like his chevron would be like two times bigger hahah#something like es Prowl

Restless Mind ❀ Sukuna (REQUESTED) Masterlist
The gentle rustle of leaves and the soothing sound of water greet you as you sit at the edge of the pond in the expansive gardens of Sukuna's estate.
The night is serene, the moon hanging high in the sky, casting a silver glow over the tranquil scene. The koi fish swim lazily in the pond, their bright colors muted but still visible in the moonlight. A cool breeze rustles through the trees, carrying the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the faintest hint of autumn in the air.
You take a sip of your tea, savoring its warmth as it spreads through you, a small comfort against the chill of the night. Your book rests open on your lap, the words a blur as you struggle to focus, your mind too restless to find solace in the story.
Sleep has been elusive tonight, and you couldn't bear the confines of your and Sukuna's room any longer. The gardens, with their quiet beauty, seemed like the perfect refuge.
Lost in thought, you don't hear the soft footsteps approaching until it's too late to hide. You look up, startled, to see Sukuna standing a few feet away, his crimson eyes fixed on you. He cuts a striking figure against the night, his presence both commanding and oddly comforting.
"What are you doing out here?" he asks, his voice a low rumble that sends a shiver down your spine.
"I couldn't sleep," you admit, feeling a bit sheepish under his intense gaze. "I thought some fresh air might help."
He raises an eyebrow, his eyes flicking to your attire. "And you thought it wise to come out in just your pajamas?"
You glance down at your thin nightclothes, suddenly aware of how exposed you are to the chill of the night. You wrap your arms around yourself, trying to ward off the cold and the embarrassment creeping up your cheeks.
"I didn't think it would be this cold," you mumble.
Sukuna sighs, a sound that seems to echo through the garden. He steps closer, shrugging off his haori and draping it over your shoulders. The fabric is warm, carrying his scent, and you can't help but snuggle into it.
"You're always so careless," he mutters, but there's no real bite to his words.
You offer him a small smile as he sits beside you. "Thank you."
He grunts in response, his eyes moving to the pond, watching the koi fish with a contemplative expression. Silence stretches between you, but it's a comfortable one, filled with the quiet sounds of the night.
"Why couldn't you sleep?" he asks after a while, his voice softer now.
You shrug, staring at the book in your lap. "Just... too many thoughts, I guess. I couldn't shut my mind off."
He nods, as if he understands. Maybe he does. You've seen glimpses of his own restlessness, the nights when he prowls the estate, unable to find peace, leaving you in the bed alone.
Sukuna shifts, his hand coming to rest on your back, his touch gentle. "You should have woken me," he says. "I would have kept you company."
"I didn't want to bother you," you reply, leaning into his touch despite your words.
"You're never a bother," he says firmly, his eyes locking onto yours. "Remember that."
The sincerity in his voice takes you by surprise, and for a moment, you can only stare at him, your heart pounding in your chest. It's rare for him to be so openly affectionate, even with you, and it leaves you feeling a mix of warmth and vulnerability.
"Thank you," you say again, your voice barely above a whisper.
He nods, his hand moving in slow circles on your back, a soothing gesture that makes your eyes feel heavy. The tension in your body begins to melt away, replaced by a sense of calm that you haven't felt all night.
"Tell me about your book," he says, his tone conversational, as if he's trying to distract you from your thoughts.
You glance at the cover, then back at him. "It's just a book of poetry, tragic romance, epic love stories"
Sukuna chuckles, a deep, rumbling sound that makes you smile. "Sounds like something you would enjoy."
You nod, feeling a bit more relaxed. "It's a good escape."
He hums in agreement, his fingers still tracing soothing patterns on your back. "Sometimes we all need an escape."
You glance at him, seeing the shadows in his eyes, the weight of his own burdens. It's easy to forget sometimes that even someone as powerful as Sukuna has his own struggles, his own demons to face.
"Do you ever wish things were different?" you ask softly, the question slipping out before you can stop it.
He doesn't answer right away, his gaze distant as he considers your words. When he finally speaks, his voice is low, almost contemplative. "Sometimes. But wishing for things to be different doesn't change what is. We can only move forward, adapt, and find our own moments of peace."
You lean your head against his shoulder, feeling the steady rise and fall of his breath.
"Thank you for being here," you say quietly, the words carrying more weight than you realize.
He wraps an arm around you, pulling you closer. "Always."
The night stretches on, but the restlessness that plagued you before is gone, replaced by a deep sense of contentment. The garden, the pond, the koi fish—everything seems to blur together into a peaceful tableau, a moment of tranquility in a world that is often anything but.
You close your eyes, letting the sound of Sukuna's heartbeat lull you into a sense of security. For the first time tonight, you feel like you might actually be able to sleep.
"Stay with me?" you murmur, already feeling drowsy.
He presses a kiss to the top of your head, his lips warm and soft. "I'm not going anywhere."
And with that, you let yourself drift, knowing that in this moment, with Sukuna by your side, you are safe, cherished, and loved. The worries and the sleepless nights can wait. For now, there is only this—an escape, a comfort, a peace that is found in the quiet companionship of someone who understands.

EARTHSPARK S3: review??? (SPOILERS!)
this weekend I watched earthspark and I have to say something or I'll explode. This won't be a review as much as just some loose thoughts trying to summarise what this series had became.
STARSCREAM I hate what happened with starscream. I wrote an analysis of how this character got absolutely massacred in S2 (you can check it out here). To summarise: In S1 he was such a great character, shown so intriguing with both his not perfect character and his history of being abused. In S2 they made him the villain in an absolutely shallow way, in the final episode writing him in a way that makes him irredeemable. And I thought thats the worst u can do. And then S3 happened, when he appears for one scene to be shown as funny for "being crazy" (WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING WHEN U REMEMBER S1 WHEN HE WAS A VICTIM OF ABUSE THAT NOONE BELIEVED. IS THIS REALLY A GOOD IDEA TO PORTRAY HIM AS HAHA CRAZY GUY). It's absolutely heartbreaking to watch that scene. Starscream gets electrocuted by the very person he opened up to in S1, he was in isolation for all of the S3, he went insane bc of that, and still at the end we drag him to autobot jail. what is this.
PROWL I have no idea how such an intriguing and complicated character from idw that was clearly an inspiration inspired such a dull and shallow character. His process of learning about respect for human allies and terrans is shown so poorely and never feels like being actually resolved, I won't even talk about this. I admire how they did two things I thought were impossible. I thought it's impossible to make IDW inspired Prowl in this show a good guy (I genuinely thought he's going to be the bad antagonist). I thought it's impossible to ignore his weird and complicated relationship with Tarantulas, in a show that had Tarantulas in S1, was created with Nick Roche as character designed and was inspired by The Sins Of The Wreckers specifically in specific places. They did both of those things and it worked out horribly, congrats.
CONCLUSION I can't understand what happened with this season. it's visible there was some cuts, it looks rushed, it lacks any substance, and Quintessons at the end... didn't help the case let's just say. But that isn't my bigest problem. I feel devastated by what happened to the ideals of the show. in S1 we had decepticons in cages, and figuring out it's not actually a good solution. In S2 we saw decepticon as boring usual villains. But in S3 we have decepticons in one big cage again. But this time there is no consideration, there is no doubt. Even if under Shockwave they just want to go home. They should all be kept imprisoned. No matter if they mean no harm, no matter if, like Starscream, they suffered enough. And there is nothing to figure out, that's just how the world works. After all, they are decepticons, right. yes I'm bitter, S1 was just very important to me and seeing what happened to ES is just sad.
#maccadam#transformers#transformers earthspark#earthspark#earthspark spoilers#earthspark season 3#earthspark season 3 spoilers#earthspark s3#tfe#tf earthspark#tfe starscream#starscream#tfe prowl#prowl#yes im super bitter about tarantulas not coming back its my personal tragedy#and i hate tfe prowl i hate him so much both as a part of the show and as a character and as a person and as a flying car#why is he a flying car#anyway feel free to rant with me or something#if u liked the show u can also tell me to stfu ig

Snowed In [Modern! Mizu x Reader]
Recently i got snowed in at my job and in my sadness i got to thinking, huh what if this happened but in a good and romantic way? And most importantly, with Mizu. This is definitely very fluffy and cute but honestly i need it lol. This was also supposed to be posted way sooner but then i got the flu and that got me good y'all. Anyways i hope you all enjoy! <3 Likes, comments and reblogs are deeply appreciated, i would really like to hear what y'all thought of this and it really helps keep me motivated! <3
Also wanted to add I listened to Kali Uchis “Tu Corazon es Mio” to get into the cute mood 💕 y’all should give it a listen it’s a very sweet song.
Tagged: @extrasour2
You were propped against the couch with a despondent look on your face as you watched the snow blanket the city. As a kid, snowy days were the best because school was cancelled and you got to go outside and play in the snow. But frankly the older you grew the more you realized how inconvenient snow can be.
Especially today.
"I'm sorry the snow ruined our plans," Mizi mumbled as she joined you on the couch.
You could hear the sad pout in her voice and couldn't help but chuckle.
"I know you are not apologizing for something that is completely out of your control," you turned to her.
"I guess I am," her shoulders jerked in a brief chuckle before turning back to you. "I just feel bad. I know you were really looking forward to tonight."
"Of course I was. I think we both would've really enjoyed the food but we can always make another reservation. Today is still our anniversary and that's what I'm most excited about," while still on the couch you started to crawl over to her. Mizu's eyes darted between your eyes and mouth the closer you approached and you didn't stop your prowl until you were almost towering her.
"Anywhere with you is exactly where I wanna be. Come rain or shine. For better or worse," you whispered as you leaned into her and her eyes fluttered closed as you gingerly trailed kisses around the regions of her eyes, nose, and cheeks. She released a breathy sigh as your lips teasingly hovered above hers, a space she desperately wanted to close. She felt your lips twitch into a smirk, you had her right where you wanted her and she knew it.
“Fucking brat,” she rasped against your lips and one quick motion she yanked your legs and sent you flying back onto the couch.
You yelped at the abrupt landing and laughed as Mizu quickly seized your neck with gentle bites and kisses.
"That tickles, that tickles!" you cried out.
She felt your laughter reverberate through your chest and couldn't help but laugh with you. Still chuckling, Mizu pulled back to look at you and the snarky comment she had planned got stuck in her throat when she saw you look back at her with so much love and adoration in your eyes.
Prior to you Mizu only had one serious relationship experience and it was a very bad one. She disclosed this to you from the very beginning but what she didn't disclose is that because of her bad experience she almost decided against seriously pursuing you. She just didn't think a person like you could actually love a or even find a genuine interest in someone like her.
"Hey," you tucked one of her loose hairs behind her ears, bringing her out of her thoughts and back to you. "What's going on up there?" you gently rubbed at her temple.
"Hmm?"
"You look all pensive, you okay?"
"Yeah I was just-" she sighed, trying to gather her thoughts. "I was thinking about when we first started going out. How I almost ruined us..."
"You didn't almost ruin us," you chuckled. "I mean, I could tell you were scared but from what you told me, what you've experienced, I understood it. Honestly I was kinda scared too."
"Really?"
"Mmhmm," you nodded.
"Why?"
"Because I had never liked anyone how I liked you. Every time we were together I could just feel myself falling for you more and more. It was like the more I learned about you the more I just liked you. It felt dangerous because I realized that you could really break my heart," you lightly laughed even though you were being completely serious.
Mizu caressed the side of your face, "I'd never do that. I'd never purposely do anything to hurt you. I've never been happier than I have been with you in these last three years. I love (Y/N), you mean so, so much to me."
"I love you too," your hand overlapped hers as she caressed your face and you gazed back into her lovestruck eyes. "I love you and every moment with you." You snaked your free hand behind her neck, gently guiding her lips to yours and Mizu happily complied.
The kiss is tender and soft as both pour your love for each other into it. You opened your mouth and Mizu took the bait, sliding her tongue in and she moaned as she reveled in the taste of you.
"Y'know I wouldn't mind spending the rest of our anniversary on this couch, or we could move to the bed if you want," she said as her lips trailed down your neck.
"The bed sounds lovely, however we do have to figure out what we're going do for dinner soon."
"I'm working on mine right now," she replied with a firm squeeze at your hips to which you laughed at her insinuation.
"Ha, funny but I said dinner not dessert- oh," you abruptly moaned as Mizu sucked on a particular sweet spot on your neck. "Fuck."
"My thoughts exactly," she grinned. Mizu gave you one last chaste kiss before getting off of you and you whined at the absence of her body against yours. “But I guess we do have to eat actual food eventually so…” she casually ambled towards your kitchen and opened the fridge, intently eyeing its contents. “We don’t have much but we have enough to make some pizzas. We even have some of the toppings you like.”
“Homemade pizza sounds fantastic,” you smiled to her. It didn’t take much to make you happy, especially with Mizu around. You rose from your spot on the couch and sauntered into Mizu’s arms, “But how about we visit the bed first real quick.”
At this Mizu gently laughed, “So impatient to get me into bed, huh?” Truly she loved that you wanted her as much as she wants you. But there was something she had to do first. “I’ll meet you there just give me two seconds okay?”
“Mmhmm,” you eagerly nodded. “Don’t make me wait too long.” You cooed as you walked towards your shared bedroom.
Mizu just stared at you adoringly as you disappeared into the bedroom. She then walked to one of the cabinets where she carefully hid a small blue box. She opened the box in her hand and stared into the diamond ring, grinning to herself. Quickly she pocketed the box, saving it for tonight.
There was a lot of things Mizu was unsure about but you were not one of them. Her love for you was unequivocal and when she thought of her future she couldn’t see one without you. She had thought long and hard about proposing, it was a big step but it was a milestone she knew she wanted to partake only once and only with you.
“Mizuuu….” You called out from the bedroom, bringing her back to the present.
“Coming, love,” she replied, finally making her way to you.
A/N: should I do a proposal scene y’all? 🤭 Ngl was kicking my feet in the air writing this lol I love fluff
Edit: Part 2!

Nah, but ageswap Sunstreaker and Sideswipe finding out about Prowl’s weakness for cute things… Prowl spotting a stuffed petrorabbit in a market and just melting into a puddle. It’s black and white, like he is, with a little puff of a tail. He can’t help running his fingers over the soft fabric, picking it up to bury his face between the big, floppy ears. He lets out a soft little squeal as he huggles it, only to freeze when someone clears their throat. His mentors are staring. Actually, so is the vendor—but that’s with an indulgent field for a cute young mechanism, unlike Sunstreaker and Sideswipe. They’re staring at him like they’ve never seen him before. Sunstreaker looks like he wants to eat Prowl up, and it makes his plugged pussy cycle down on its toy. And then they buy it for him. He can’t help thanking them over and over, holding the petrorabbit to his chest with one arm and clinging to their plating with another. It’s the start of *something* although none of them is quite sure what.
When they get back to the twins’ shared hab, Prowl is promptly filled with Sideswipe’s spike. The plug is pulled free with a wet sound, tossed to the side and forgotten as the red mech fills the hungry hole it’d vacated. Prowl moans, long and horny, as it slides in. Still clutching his little black and white bunny. And then Sunstreaker starts to slip in too, until Prowl is gasping and almost too full. Sweet little pussy stinging withe the stretch of two spikes, overwhelmed tears sparkling in his optics. He can only clutch his bunny and try not to overload without permission, burying his face in the fur to stifle his little gasps and whines as his plugged spike bobs untouched between his and Sunstreaker’s bellies.
“What’s your little friend’s name, Prowl?” Sideswipe purrs in his audial, equal parts mocking and desperately aroused.
“Ru-uuuby!” Prowl hiccups when they begin to slowly thrust into him, spikes sliding together in his slick valve. They’re rubbing all of his internal sensors as they do, lubricant bubbling up between them and drooling out of Prowl.
“Aw, sweetspark,” Sunstreaker drawls, hoarseness betraying how affected he really is, “do you wuv her?” Prowl can’t think, can only feel a wash of humiliation that leaves his node tingling with charge. Silly, little trainee. His vents come in little gasps, lips trembling as he tries to stutter out an answer.
“Ye-es,” he manages, trying not to focus on the feeling of two fat spikes stuffing him to the brim, “I. I wuv her.” It makes his plating crawl with embarrassment in the most delicious way as he stumbles through yet another thank you that gets muffle by his plushy.
“Why don’t you give Ruby some cute little kisses,” Sideswipe suggests. Prowl obeys, planting chaste little pecks on the toy bunny’s head and cheeks even as the fuck into him. Sunstreaker groans low in his chest at the sight. None of them will last very long, the twins allowing Prowl to overload soon after he obediently hugs his bunny even tighter up away from his ‘naughty spike’ so she doesn’t get dirty. Never mind that it’s plugged and can’t leak.
Now that they know Prowl melts over cute things, there’s soon to be a parade of adorable but embarrassing outfits and accessories from Sunstreaker. New plushies to crowd his bed and confuse his roommate. And, of course, new ways to play with their cute little trainee. Some of his sitters are gonna blow a gasket over how cute this slag is.
AAAAA i completely missed this one. They make him baby talk, that’s so fun. Nothing’s ever made Prowl as hot as being forced to act like a mechling that can barely get words out. They think it’s hilarious and super hot when he blushes and glares at them while squeezing his cute new rabbit toy…

They finally posted a trailer and poster for the next batch of EarthSpark. And it’s described as S3, though experience with Netflix makes me think this is just the remainder of S2… Still according to the marketing, fans finally got a third season, so that counts for something. It’s only roughly 7 episodes, but G1’s final fourth season was a three part finale, so a very short season isn’t unheard of.
This poster is a lot better than the past main posters they’ve used over and over.
These are better also, but they don’t get used much.
But after RotB & TFONE, I think we can all agree decent advertising isn’t modern Hasbro & Paramount’s strong suit.
As for the trailer itself, it continues a trend I’ve noticed where most EarthSpark ancillary stuff tends to down play the Terrans. Twitch appears for a split second and Thrash appears in a gag where he gets shot… continuing his “just kinda there” vibe.
The trailer primarily focuses on the traditional Autobot & Decepticon conflict, with a big focus put on Prowl, the newest and seemingly only Transformer added to the cast so far.
A news article further describes Prowl as an “old world” Autobot detective who trusts the hard facts & always finds the truth. He is immediately distrustful of Optimus’ allies, so presumably that includes the Maltos, Terrans and naturally Megatron. It’s interesting how he’s specifically described as a detective, perhaps that’s to avoid ACAB allegations I could see the old writers attempt through him….
Prowl’s G1 profiles cast him as a by the books, semi prickly, military strategist. This doesn’t really get explored in the old cartoon, and while it was touched on briefly in Marvel, IDW went hog wild with it, casting its Prowl as a corrupt cop antagonist towards the end of the run. IDW2 cast him as more of a detective pre-war though, possibly where EarthSpark borrowed it from, and while he was still a hard-aft, he had a soft spot for his pet dinosaur-alien.
The main villains of the season, unsurprisingly, are the Quintessons. Their leader is a female Judge, who the blurb declares it “is her birthright to possess the power of the Emberstone. She’s wise, dangerous, and her ego is so large that it’s no wonder she has five heads”.
What exactly constitutes gender among the Quints has never really been defined before.
It might be safe to say as far as the G1 cartoon is concerned, they’re an all male race.
WFC & CV attempted to insert female gender among the Judges, having some of the masks speak in a female voice.
That adds another oddity to Judge biology, as the G1 cartoon or Marvel UK comics never stated the other faces being separate personalities, instead other media describes them as different emotional states.
Alpha Q in Superlink did have multiple personalities based on which mask was displayed, each one squabbling/talking amongst themselves.
Presumably WFC/CV borrowed from Alpha Q, but the ES Quintesson Judge might be operating on G1 logic, each mask being a single (female) gender, as she has a female voice actor only.
The other big G1 thing the trailer shows is the Hate Plague. The leaked synopsis already revealed it, but like G1, those infected with the plague glow an intense red.
Once infected, they turn incredibly violent and try to kill each other. Despite the G1 show’s violence, nobody actually died ironically, at least it was never confirmed. The synopsis implies the Quintessons unleashed the Hate Plague on the Transformers, and while the 80’s Quints were instead among the victims of the outbreak, they do have a vague connection to it.
The oldest known leader within the Matrix, only known as “It”, resembles a Quintesson, with Japanese media confirming that’s what they are. Optimus Prime asks this ancient Quintesson how to combat the Hate Plague, with It saying the Plague couldn’t be outright destroyed but contained, where a wise man trapped the spores in a star. The spores nevertheless has a weakness to pure wisdom, so Optimus unleashes the power of the Matrix and uses its eons long store of wisdom to eradicate the virus once and for all… Until it briefly returns in Beast Machines.
As mentioned before, the Hate Plague isn’t exactly a popular concept cartoons like to go back to. Comics don’t like using it typically either, so its inclusion here is both unique but also a little… peculiar. I’m leaning towards it being a vague, modern topical metaphor for something, as an infected Megatron is fighting Optimus in particular. Probably some hogwash about Megatron succumbing to his biases and own hatred, but we’ll see soon enough.
Perhaps the most utterly bizarre detail is the blurb seemingly confirming the return of Spitfire and Aftermath.
How…?
Starscream yanked out their Allspar-er-Emberstone Shards, and the rock itself is dust. You can’t get any deader than that.
The only thing I can guess, is similar to Sari’s key, the Sleeves are the repository of the Emberstone’s life giving energies (the sleeves do just about anything else now so why not), and the Malto kids are incentivized to revive the two Decepticon Terrans for some reason.
MetroTitans in IDW also can grant life and that was carried over to Prime Wars, so it’s possible Terratronus can grant life too, and she restores the Terracons.
Worst case scenario is the two hellions are back up and running like nothing happened, and their death is never addressed again.
Crap writing if so, but the previous two scenarios would be preferable.
Not much longer to wait now. This might be the final batch, as the Quintessons make sense as the final end goal in the struggle over the Emberstone. The show has never been super committed to showing what’s going on Cybertron that whatever Prowl and Cosmos have to add to the matter is probably the best we’ll get. Plus the Terrans don’t have much incentive or interest to even go to Cybertron anyway; Alex would get more out of going there than his kids. Only thing I could guess is the Quints took over Cybertron off screen and that loosely ties into the Judge’s role on Earth, but eh. We’ll see.

Disclaimer: People may assume that I don't like the show going by the numerous critique posts I've made, but the reality is that if Season 1 didn't drop the ball so hard in the writing department ES would honestly be my favorite TF show. What I am is disappointed.
Something I've noticed is that every time an "ES is getting cancelled" rumor appears, Tumblr is pretty much the only place that has the "OH NO!" reaction. tfw2005 has some of that as well, but the general consensus at this point seems to be that the show getting cancelled is inevitable.
If you look at the threads on tfw2005 and the transformers subreddit dealing with the latest rumor, most people were more disappointed about Takara Prowl getting cancelled than the show itself.
The show already had so many things going against it: -Being on a streaming service that no one really has -Batch releases for episodes -The aesthetic alone made a lot of people avoid it. -Pretty much no advertising whatsoever -The toyline being regarded as terrible quality by mostly everybody -The Nightshade controversy. While it's utterly ridiculous this even caused such a stir, the fact of the matter is that the negative publicity actually made more people aware that the show even existed.
You know why I came back to Tumblr after years of being inactive? Because Tumblr was pretty much the only place where there was active discussion about the show while it was airing. tfw2005 also had discussion, but not like here. Reddit hardly mentions the show and I have no idea about Twitter/X since I don't use it. As annoying as the cancellation rumors are, it actually gets other parts of the web talking about the show.
When people say ES is popular, I'm honestly curious where they're getting that impression from. It's very telling that the teaser trailer for Season 2 presents a run of the mill TF story and doesn't mention anything from Season 1. The whole point of a trailer is to generate interest and Hasbro/Paramount seems to realize that Season 1 wasn't appealing to general audiences. In doing so, they pissed off a lot of the fan base the show actually has.
I'm still watching Season 2 because I'm honestly curious if the writing is going to improve and Weird Al and Flea are going to be in it. And obviously I'm hoping for more Mandroid.

Stuck between wanting Prowl to be a fucking asshole and him being nice. I’d like either interpretation, I like when Prowl isn’t really nice or mean, but just sort of different. He doesn’t actively try to get on people’s shit lists but he isn’t trying to get along with them either. A standoffish more introverted Prowl would be fun. Passive aggressive Prowl would be great! Prowl being tired and always sleeping would be wonderful. He’s a blank slate and the two iterations that have him with a personality are widely different. You can do anything with Prowl and for the longest time it probably wouldn’t have upset many people because Prowl was just sort of there (TFA withstanding) and IDW took him and a different direction. He has no established characteristics in the way that others do (Starscream has a very particular personality that he largely keeps regardless of the continuity. A non old grumpy ratchet would be kind of weird after so many years of him being that and Jazz has been the cool one who isn’t fucking bonkers for a while) and I hope that ES doesn’t just repeat IDW.
Looking at his expression he looks like he either has a RBF or is just a bit mean. But I like the design and I just hope he does something interesting and/or funny. If hypothetical ES!Prowl is an avid rock collector I will be satisfied because the idea of robots having rock collections is funny to me.

Most of the positive reactions to es s3 I've seen are in the form of romantic/sexual shipping (breakbee and megaprowl). I like shipping myself, but sometimes I feel like the fandom ignores everything else in favor of it.
Like, why not talk about the platonic/familial relationships more? Ship is just short for relationship, after all, and platonic ships are a thing (I hope)
I was kinda confused by some of the shipping after these new episodes myself, since I thought shippers were going to be angry! lol Because I swear Bumblebee’s reaction to Breakdown was kinda like, “Thought he was my brother… but he just saw me as a bro ;_;” (which I thought was hilarious BTW) or something, which follows from season 1 where Bumblebee said he saw Breakdown like a brother? Feelings can change but I don’t think a show literally about how strong familial bonds are would use this language to intentionally mislead anybody? I thought MegOp shippers might be angry for a similar reason (or because MAN they resent each other SO much) but I know they probably weren’t being as literal as Bumblebee lol
I won’t lie, I was excited to notice what I think is another Oplita hint, but in terms of actual interactions I’m not seeing any romantic relationship with any bots so far! It’s kind of funny to me because I felt like Cyberverse was so easy to ship in! I think the arc with Megatron and Prowl is hilarious but I really don’t see anything romantic, Prowl just has no filter when it comes to his opinions. Comes across to me like: “Thank you for your hard work and challenging my point of view, I appreciate you! ^_^” “I am going to kill myself.” “Making jokes about killing yourself is inappropriate, especially in front of vulnerable adolescents. Why don’t I give you physical comfort? Look at me, winning all the social interactions today!” “WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?! Ah, right, everything….” I clearly love shipping but I also love Earthspark and think it isn’t really conducive to it because it’s focused on other things… and I enjoy it as it is! I do wish there was more analysis of the things in the show, but I do have to say, shipping is a huge relief from just the tag being filled with relentless misguided complaining! lol

yknow in ur alt es you mentioned the optional parts has to be the 2 arcees like how are ya gonna implement that? and also how would rodimus interact with the GHOST bots and the maltobots
Oh right that post!
Idk i thought two arcees that are slightly different but ultimately also the same character would be interesting because like. That's an alternate/future version of base Earthspark Arcee. It's also because Arcee was part of Rodimus's little squad in g1, but also she's already part of the earthspark autobots on earth. Though I wasn't sure so that's why I said the two arcees thing was optional
Now Rodimus that's more concrete, when he's interacting with the autobots plus Megatron he's more like g1 Rodimus in that "well he's definitely a leader but he's a bit young for it and new at it" vibe, and I think Megatron and Prowl are definitely suspicious of him and this entire situation (goddamn! A situation where they agree on something! How rare!) because there's definitely things this Rodimus isn't telling them (who makes the first connection between this Rodimus and the autobot Hot Rod?) (Or is that immediate?)
Now, I'm thinking he's got a more sort of older adult brother type dynamic with the kids, maybe?? Or at least eventually. At first he's pretty much a stranger, an ally sure but someone they don't know.
There are multiple ways this version of Rodimus can interact with decepticons (including Megatron...), and some of them depend on what makes his timeline different than the main earthspark timeline. I'm thinking though in general the interactions between the mecha from Rodimus's timeline and the main earthspark timeline decepticons are rough. (especially with the whole Galvatron thing...)
What little I know about G1 Rodimus is a big reference here, but so are elements from characters like tfa Optimus, rid15 Bumblebee, and Cyberverse Hot Rod. I need to watch g1 s3 still so there is improvement I can make on this idea.
#transformers#maccadam#tfe arcee#x two#tfe rodimus#(honorary tag)#tfe megatron#tfe prowl#I'm imagining interesting interactions between main timeline Optimus and alternate/future timeline Rodimus#because in the alternate/future timeline Optimus kind of died and that's how Rodimus got the matrix#FUN INTERACTIONS BETWEEN BUMBLEBEE AND RODIMUS TO BE HAD TOO#that was just one of those au ideas i threw out there because i was thinking about it tbh#so not like one of the aus we have dozens of posts about or words on ao3 about or anything#transformers generation one#g1 rodimus prime#tfa optimus prime#rid bumblebee#cyberverse hot rod#i stick by my conspiracy theory that rid Bumblebee was originally supposed to be Rodimus somehow#or well. technically he was supposed to be smokescreen. who in tfp was supposed to be hot rod / rodimus#you can see it in the vibes though#hope this makes sense!#transformers earthspark

How do you think the Autobots and Decepticons (TFA, TFP and ES) would react if they met the Unicron (G1), a planet the size of Cybertron, who could also transform into robot mode and tried to destroy Cybertron with his bare hands (literally speaking)
Hi thank you for the ask! ( May I say that this is an intriguing ask. it's super interesting thank you! I haven gotten very far in Earthspark so I'll only do Optimus and Megatron, I hope that's okay)
Tfa Megatron: Tfa Megatron would attempt to keep his cool in order to gather information about who and what Unicron is. secretly he'd be a little unnerved at the thought of Cybertronian God being real. he would prefer to stay on Unicron's good side so long as he is a threat.
Tfa Blitzwing: Blitzwing would be freaking out at just how crazy it is that a Cybertronian God is real and that he is huge. he's not a fan of Unicron's tendency to consume worlds, however he keeps that little tidbit to himself.
Tfa Lugnut: Lugnut under the orders of Tfa Megatron would remain silent in Unicron's presence because Megatron doesn't think Lugnut would be able to not say anything that could get himself offlined.
Tfa Optimus Prime: The Young Prime doesn't know how to react to Unicron's presence and just does his best to cope he does what ever he can to keep his team safe.
Tfa Ratchet: Tfa Ratchet is extremely unhappy with Unicron's presence and has decide to help Optimus keep his team safe. He wouldn't want to talk to Unicron but he makes sure to keep Bumblebee from saying something inappropriate.
Tfa Bulkhead: Bulkhead helps Ratchet by distracting Bumblebee when ever he can and he makes sure Bumblebee understands how much danger they are in.
Tfa Bumblebee: He's Not allowed to interact with Unicron unless Ratchet or Bulkhead are present. he has a lot of questions for Unicron and really wants them to be answered.
Tfa Prowl: He snuck off to help find ways to send Unicron back to his original universe. Prowl has been gathering information on Unicron and reporting back to those attempting to neutralize Unicron and send him home.
Tfp Megatron: Post TFP Megatron would be the first to nope out of the situation. he was already under the control of one Unicron he does not need to make it two. he would do his best to avoid any and all interaction with G1 Unicron.
Tfp Starscream: Starscream would immediately attempt to get in Unicron's good graces not really knowing that Unicron doesn't have any. he's the most likely to get himself in to trouble involving Unicron.
Tfp Knockout: Knockout would be secretly insulting Unicron's looks in his head but outwardly he would do his best not to gain Unicron's attention by any means necessary.
Tfp Breakdown: Breakdown would do his best to follow Knockouts lead because he trusts Knockout to know what he's doing.
Tfp Soundwave: He is trying to find a way to send Unicron back to where ever he came from without getting caught. Soundwave wants nothing to to with this mess.
Tfp Optimus Prime: After seeing Unicron Optimus decided that he'll help soundwave with his plan and makes sure that whenever needed Unicron is distracted.
Tfp Ratchet: Ratchet decided to follow Megatrons lead for once and nope out of the situation taking the other three with him because he knows their impulses could get them offlined.
Tfp Bumblebee: Never gets the chance to interact with Unicron Because of Tfp Ratchet. he would probably freak out if he does met Unicron
Tfp Bulkhead: The only one not to have a big problem with Ratchet keeping them (him and the other two) away from the situation. the only thing he doesn't like is that Tfp Optimus is left alone with soundwave to deal with the situation.
Tfp Arcee: Doesn't like the fact that Ratchet dragged her away from the very dangerous situation leaving Optimus to handle it him self. She'd have a few choice words for Unicron if she met him though.
ES Megatron: ES Megs want to immediately do whatever it takes to get Unicron away from earth no matter what it takes. He's freaking out a little because Unicron could offline them all if he really wanted to.
ES Optimus Prime: ES Prime does his best to remain calm and attempt to help Megatron not freak out. he would do his best to keep everyone safe until they can find a way to get to proper safety
#tfa megatron#tfa blitzwing#tfa lugnut#tfa optimus prime#tfa ratchet#tfa bulkhead#tfa bumblebee#tfa prowl#tfp megatron#tfp starscream#tfp knockout#tfp breakdown#tfp soundwave#tfp optimus prime#tfp ratchet#tfp bumblebee#tfp bulkhead#tfp arcee#tfe megatron#tfe optimus prime#unicron#maccadam#macaddam#i got an ask!

Battle on the Sugoroku Board - God Won’t Roll The Dice 5
(Location: “Battle on the Sugoroku Board” program set)
Rinne: ♪~
Aah, it’s been a while since I’ve breathed in the air of the free world. How delicious ♪
…… Not really, I was still able to breathe in the outside air, though. I was surprised cause I wasn't expecting to go into the cage is aaall?
I’ll have the privilege of being a free man for the time being ♪
(Ooh? Those guys are–)
Natsume and Arashi: ………!
Rinne: (It’s the NewDi Team. I wonder if the “Dice Battle” isn’t being triggered because they’re far enough away from me.
Since I’m the only one who’s noticed, why don’t I do a little spying on the enemy’s situation. Now let’s see…?)
Arashi: We couldn’t get much at all huh. They said the reward was 100G.
Even though I’ve accepted about three requests from a while ago, isn’t crossing a dangerous bridge for 100G or 200G not worth it?
It’s good that we can immediately buy support items with the rewards because the shop’s commissions are around the area, but…… They’re all backbreaking work.
Natsume: I thiNK it’s good that we can even get that much. BecauSE at the very leasT, we can revive Mikejima-senpai if we have 100G.
Arashi: That’s true. It’s about time to get Mama out of the cage isn’t it?
Natsume-chan. I wonder if I can ask to pay with the smartphone?
Natsume: Oh nO. I feel likE it’s still a little too early.
MayBE it’s because each team is currently crushing each other, but there it seEMS like there aren’t many signs of people around uS. What aboUT reviving him in a situation whEN we have an encounter with someone?
We’re talking about Mikejima-senpai after aLL. The situation in the game couLD change as soon as he gets revived.
More importantLY. While the war situation right now is calm, let’s go look for the next commission—
Arashi: I’d like you to wait a bit.
Natsume: UmM?
Could it bE you want to rescue Mikejima-senpai sooner or somethING?
Arashi: No, that’s not it.
Look closely, Natsume-chan. Look over there— isn’t that an enemy team’s idol?
And it’s not just that one person, there are several of them…… Lying in wait.
Natsume: HmM. It lookS like there are about 10 people.
Which meANS that the members of three or more teams are conspiring and lyiNG in wait for us……
We caN’T take it too easy. We haVE to get through somehow.
Arashi: Get through…….?
Natsume: Kaminari-san, I haVE an idea.
If anything, let’S takE advantage of this situation. Can’t we use support items to wipe them out wholesale, hM?
Arashi: It certainly seems worth a try. I wanted to try out that item too.
I wonder if the cheap rewards for the commissions had a meaning to some extent ♪
Rinne: (…… Heeh. As expected, those guys are being prowled after for being grouped together with ES, huh.
I guess it’s about time to contact the CosPro Team huh~? With the way things are now, there’s no guarantee that we won’t fall for their trap too.
Firstly, to support the ES forces, preventing the idols from other agencies from attacking us carelessly—
After that, we’ll sniff out the mastermind’s calculations and crush those calculations!
It’s the best strategy! As one would expect, the Goddess of Victory is smiling upon me!
Let’s quickly check the GPS location of my teammates—-There.
What’s this? Yuta’s GPS is moving rapidly……?
Oi oi, are you riding the Shinkansen (1) or something! That’s so funny!
Is it that? When you’re underground and the GPS information is delayed or something?
Anyway, I know where you’re at. I’ll be there soon, so wait for me ♪ )
Tsumugi: It’s a bit of a confusing free-for-all, huh~. It’s fun to watch.
Thank you to all the Staff-san, for letting me observe something so interesting.
I can switch between monitors to watch footage from the filming set, but from here I can see everything from a bird’s eye view. It’s somewhat refreshing.
I tend to be the one being filmed…… I don’t really get to watch variety shows from the outside like this.
Two teams have been eliminated, while there are 10 or so idols trapped in the cage— considering there were about 30 participants, it’s been quite a progression.
I really want the NewDi Team to hang in there. Even if it’s not winning first place, riding the flow like this is exciting—-
It’s similar to watching amateur sports tournaments. The main goal is to win, but winning is not everything.
As a supporter from the sidelines, I want Natsume-kun and the team to keep surviving.
Ah. By the way, can you show me NewDi Team’s footage? I got curious since there’s mostly been other teams’ footage for a while…….
Staff: Sorry, Aoba-san. Right now, the staff are together with other teams, so ask again later.
Tsumugi: Ah, then it’s okay. I’ll be counting on you later.
(Hm~m……? They haven’t been filming them for a while, huh. Despite that, I can’t see any movements from the footage being streamed.
There should be filming crews following both NewDi Team and CosPro Team, but I don’t see any footage being streamed at all.
Somehow, it feels like they’re avoiding them……?
That said, I’m thinking too much. It’s just that the timing coincidentally didn’t line up—-
Everyone is doing their work seriously. Even I can see that.)

Words from Nukoduke, vol. 4, part 2
Words in bold are particularly relevant to the story, and words in italics seem like they’d be worth remembering outside the context of the manga. Bold and italic together means they’ve probably appeared somewhere in Nukoduke more than once. Kinda long list but it’s for a whole volume… actually it’s too long for tumblr, so splitting into four parts.

im kind of curious, does your blorbo change in every transformers continuity? or does it stay the same? i know a lot of people that are Always a Megatron Fan First No Matter What, but also some that have different faves depending on the continuity.
well i always base what character i like on what they're presented as in any particular continuity, but some characters are presented consistently enough that i broadly tend to like them regardless of continuity. (rodimus-es tend to be pretty comparable, for example.) but if for example the next big TF series wrote a version of him that was near unrecognisable, i wouldn't feel obligated to love that hypothetical version of the character just because 'he's called rodimus!', haha.
when i got into tf there was a lot of recent re-use of names etc for fundamentally different characters… you know, tfa prowl, or half the re-use of names in the unicron trilogy, for example. so i'm used to the idea that a 'character' in TF as a whole may realistically be better described as a branding attempt by hasbro. why is a character in tfa who is blatantly based on hot shot called 'bumblebee' when he acts nothing like any prior version of bee? because the bayverse movies demanded brand synergy. lmao. ah, transformers.
the current approach is wayyyy more unified these days though, so it's easier to expect to enjoy a particular character from continuity to continuity. well, for the big names, anyway.
(however i will rescind all this if they put glit in something and love him on principle. hasbro. hasbro listen to me. hasbro.)

IDW had its run, time for something new. It was fun while it lasted, they served their time and now the chapter is closed.
IDW1 was definitely a rollercoaster and there were some things I enjoyed but the latter tales were… very meh for me. The love stories were fine but I mostly preferred the IDW2 romances than IDW1 (Dratchet, Windscream, CyGate, LugNode are the ones from IDW1 I only enjoyed, KnockoutBreakdown too but we didn’t get much unfortunately and Thundercracker and Marissa cute.) IDW2, though, GreenCee, CosmosBlastOff, NauticaRoadRage, GlyphTapOut, and KnockoutBreakdown are such beloved to me!
If folks were just honest and said "I don't enjoy this as much as I enjoyed IDW1", I would be totally fine with that! Instead I more often see "except for in a few places, IDW1 is better written than IDW2" (definitely an opinion, especially as they're telling two very different stories and, for an example, I feel Ruckley did better handling a large ensemble cast than Roberts) or "Ruckley is walking back all the queer rep IDW1 made" (nevermind that he introduced a queer couple in issue 4 while it took IDW1 about 10 years to introduce any) or "Energon Universe starts off too edgy, unlike MTMTE" (Hmmmm, I mean MTMTE kicks off with fusing a guy with a wall, death, sparkeaters, and whatever Whirl was doing in that cave, but okay).
The idealization of IDW1, in particular MTMTE/LL, has been a major contributing factor to why I get frustrated or feel kinda miserable reading it. Like, if I didn't know the tumblr portion of the fandom only took "Tarantulas is a father! 🥺" and "Prowl and Tarantulas are divorced 🤣" from the Wreckers saga, I would find Tarantulas more compelling. But they do and I've been reading it and thinking to myself "y'all romanticized *this* guy?!?! Has anyone ever stopped and thought what it would actually be like to be his child?!"
I actually forget about Lug and Anode most of the time as they were introduced so late and their story rushed through. :'D But yeah. I like all the IDW2 ships. Only some of IDW1 ships.
But yeah. I don't criticize every story using Beast Wars as the benchmark despite having grown up watching it and believing it legitimately holds up well and that it has some of the best character writing in the franchise. I even admit I can be stubborn about certain types of changes (just look at how Ireact to ES Tarantulas), but I can look forward to new adaptations.
TFEU Carly is very different from OG Carly. That doesn't make her a bad character or that it's a sign TFEU will be a bad adaptation. It's just different. As long as TFEU Carly gets to hold her own or doesn't get relegated to "Spike's girlfriend", I can live with it and enjoy her on her own.
