"Are you suggesting the thirteen primes are real? What's next, Unicron or the Knights of Cybertron???"

"...well, yes."

"...you have got to be shitting me right now."

Live-Action & Generation 1 Transformers Are The Same

The good:

The meh:

The inexcusable trash:

Stop talking shit to each other, Transformers is not a perfect franchise.

It’s 2024, act your fucking ages.

to Vector, Prime of the Multiverse: when the likes of Tarn speak of an "Old Cybertronian", how long ago is "old"? Tailgate, six million years old, speaks a fine Neocybex; even primeval Galvatron seems to have the hang of it (and surely the mighty Galvatron wouldn't stoop to language lessons). When was the "Primal Vernacular" used?

Dear Linguistic Learner,

By Zeta Prime’s era, the consensus among most Cybertronian linguists was that the “Primal Vernacular” began not as a single language, but as an amalgamation of several loosely affiliated dialects common to different groups on the planet, which seemingly occurred as early as twelve million years ago. As Cybertronian civilization continued to develop, these early languages gradually drifted, overlapped, and eventually emerged as a single lexicon. Some archeologists even attribute this rapid linguistic evolution to the guidance of the Knights of Cybertron—they argue that the phrase “one from many��� crops up repeatedly in many ancient Cybertronian hieroglyphs dating from the era, and might even refer to an effort to establish a single, centralized language!

Five hundred thousand years later, however, the fall of the Knights of Cybertron meant that establishing a single “mother tongue” became practically impossible. Many members of the Thirteen Tribes spoke in dialects based upon a corrupted form of the Primal Vernacular; others developed unique languages such as chirolinguistics. It would not be until the ascension of the Thirteen that representatives of the tribes developed a shared language to facilitate trade and diplomacy, which became the first spoken form of Neocybex.

Not all Cybertronians agreed with the decision to formalize this “debased” language as Cybertron’s eminent form of communication: some cultural purists, such as the religious sect known as the Clavis Aurea, made efforts to preserve the Primal Vernacular in both spoken and written form, and even some members of the Thirteen remained fluent in both languages. Notably, the inhabitants of the planet Prion all spoke a highly derived version of the Primal Vernacular—when Nickel of Prion joined the Decepticon Justice Division, it took her some time to learn the language!

The Power of the Primes

[postapocalyptic-cryptic]

something about the search for the knights of cybertron. it would be ridiculous at literally any other point in cybertronian history. but right now, at the end of the war, they're looking for anything that connects them to the culture they used to have

What would be a good cybertronian version of "Do you think God stays in heaven because he too loves in fear of what he's created"? What to replace the word "heaven" with for Primus? He doesn't live in the Afterspark or the Allspark.... He's just the planet/in the planet's core, at least allegedly.

There's "the allspark stays lost / the well remains dry in fear of what it's created", but other than that I'm not sure there is an equivalent

It's a bit quiet so have a WIP of two of my Knights of Cybertron OCs, Birch and Koros.

Birch got a few tweaks and I added the mark of Primus to one of his pauldrons. Koros bears the mark of Mortilus and at times wears a mask.

In the end, there can be only one.

If there is any Small Transformers that are Smaller but more Powerful than Brawn, it might be Smashdown

(I used and posted this "Cogman VS Crosshairs" Meme on Twitter and Tumblr before Last Year and if you're wondering what I think of The Last Knight, I HATE the Movie, there you go)
