Just here, testing this question box. 🤣 And demanding more of my newest crush Lyle. 👀🫠🤣

I see the question box works just fine, I thank you for testing it! 🤣 And, of course, your demand has been answered! 👀🤣 

Here you have more of Lyle:

(quick sketch I did today so I could add it to this, so it’s not really the best ever, but still! 🤣✨)

And here are some Lyle facts for ya:

Lyle is a tad more on the introvert side. He tends to be more quiet and reserved, and even if he technically doesn’t mind sharing things about himself or speaking his mind about this and that, chances are he won’t do it unless asked to, or unless he feels comfortable enough around the people he is with. He’s not necessarily the anxious type, he doesn’t mind being in social settings and does just fine. He actually enjoys his time out and interacting with people. That being said, his social battery drains faster than that of other people. He needs to have his “alone time” every now and then, otherwise he will get progressively more mentally exhausted. 

He moved to England at the end of 2021. It was something he and his wife, Lily, agreed to do together, as part of their final attempt to mend their marriage. To start anew, so to speak. Needless to say, it didn't work. Actually, it kiiinda worked for a little while?, but things went downhill once again, eventually. The spark was simply not there anymore, resentments overshadowed the good moments, and the fact that Lyle was still not over Blair yet didn’t help, either. This whole attempt lasted for a little over a year or so, until they (finally!) recognized and accepted the fact that they were simply not meant to be together anymore, and got divorced. Something they should have done AGES ago, mind you, but life is not always just that simple, if ever. 🙂😂 Lyle is currently still living in England, but he visits Scotland when he can.

He comes from a rather conservative family, but his views couldn't be more different (especially when compared to his parents, who are kinda stuck in their ways). Lyle has a very progressive way of thinking, in fact, which is something he has in common with his older sister, Kirstie! 

Speaking of family, Kirstie is actually his favourite family member. 😂 He gets along with the rest of his family as well, sure, but their different views on society, people and life matters tend to end up in some unpleasant arguments and snarky remarks. The MacGregor family gatherings are definitely… interesting. He and Kirstie have always resonated incredibly well, though. They have a great relationship! And Kirstie is a pretty cool woman, but we’ll leave that for another time.

There was a time in his life when Lyle struggled a bit with alcohol addiction. It was the easy way of dealing (or not dealing) with the shitty side of life. Just drink it all away, to the point of not remembering why you’ve been drinking in the first place. Not anymore, though. He hasn’t given up on alcohol completely, he still enjoys the occasional glass of whisky or a good ol’ beer, but he is very careful about it now. He most certainly doesn’t want to fall back into those old habits. 

Cooking is not one of his strongest skills, but he knows how to make incredibly good homemade bread.

Hope you enjoyed the Lyleness! 🤣💖✨

One of my favorite things about Luffy is that he's ethereal, cute, pretty, gorgeous, handsome, and hot all at the same time and somehow he makes all of those adjectives have completely different meanings

Do the puppets watch shows in television? If yes, what’s their favorite?

They definitely do watch TV! They need at least something to pass the time on slow days while Fionn is at work.

As for shows they like; Julie takes a liking to comedy cartoons, Sally loves drama shows and fashion shows, Poppy watches cooking/baking shows, Barnaby enjoys comedy shows and Frank, Eddie and Howdy will watch any documentary Frank deems as interesting.

Wally, however, while he doesn't mind what's on TV, he always tends to watch the old Welcome Home episodes again and again.......

He seems to miss the old days.......

There’s a lot B-127 doesn’t know

He’s been down in sub-level 50 for Primus knows how long, so it’s certainly plausible that B doesn’t know certain words. By the Pits- B probably doesn’t even know what certain Cybertronian traditions are! Or even what there’re called (and probably even more-). He’s been down there that long.

Some words that he might have no clue of are:

Conjunx

Engex

Berth (there were nothing to sleep in down there)

Any vulgar words

Shanix (there’s no need for it down at sub-level 50)

Examine

Medical terms

Most likely emotional terms aswell

Sometimes B has to stop and remember what a certain items name is. But so far hes had no reason to, so he hasn’t had to ask anyone of what something is.

I imagine that he only knows certain word thanks to the data-pads that were thrown down to waste disposal. Although that doesn’t change the fact that many of those data-pads didn’t explain things such as a “Trine” or anything else. (Those are common terms to the regular Cybertronian, there’s no need for anyone to explain what they are)

But the word that I’ll focus on today is: Leader.

———

B-127 has heard of it, but not what it means. He ment to ask- he really did! But everyone got swept up with work and he found he couldn’t really find the time to ask.

So he guessed what it meant. And what did he think it meant?

A friend who many people knew and took advice from.

Did he confirm this? No. But did it sure look like one? Yes.

So he supposes Ori- Optimus and D-16 (or Megatron-?) will have to find themselves a new leader to help work through their troubles! And he’d be more than happy to help them, after all their all best friends aren’t they?

And best friends always have each others backs.

B just needs to find a way for them to talk to each other without fighting… Then they can finally all work together to rebuild Iacon together!

He bets it’ll be fun.

(Edit: I PUT B-126 INSTEAD OF 7 😭)

OMG TFONE HEADCANNON/REVIEW TIME LETS GOO‼️✨💙❤️🩷💛✨‼️

[B-127]

I just want to say I FUCKING LOVED TRANSFORMERS ONE!!! It has officially won a special place in my heart that I’ll cherish fondly until the end of time.

Okay, now I just HAVE to talk about some of my headcannons that theorizes some things that a certain review that—may or may not have irked me the wrong way—has gotten me thinking about. Like, for example:

Is B-127 really just there for comedy relief?

HELL. NO. You know why? Because he was forged to be a yapper, that’s why. He’s a storyteller. He might not be the most mature one in the gang, but he’s the type of immature that stems from being repeatedly outcasted and ignored to the point of not understanding other people’s boundaries or a majority of social cues.

And let’s just face it, everyone is their own type of immature.

His yapping tendencies can actually play a big part in some potential development as more than just a bystander. BY BEING A STAND-BYER! HEY-OH!

I think that B-127 is going to be the one to spread the true narrative about his three other friends during their long trek across Cybertron and their beginnings. Because he was there… he was always THERE.

He was there when Orion Pax and D-16 found the SOS message from THE Alpha Trion. He was there when Alpha Trion was discovered—and was REVIVED thanks to HIS pocket energon. He was there when Sentinel’s allegiance with the Quintessons was revealed. He was there when he, Elita-1, Orion Pax, and D-16 were given the T-Cogs of the deceased Primes. He was there to see D-16 rally the High Guard after beating Starscream for the first time.

And he was there when Sentinel Prime violently carved the face of D-16’s idol into his chest while parading around that same idol’s T-Cog right in front of him… In front of the both of them…

I’m not even going to try to repeat the wise banger that Alpha Trion said about how the T-Cogs are the physical embodiments of their race’s freedom to choose what they become and stuff, because I genuinely can’t remember any of it. I’m so sorry. But I know for a FACT since D-16 and B-127 were both there when he said it they immediately made it a core memory for themselves—therefore they BOTH knew the downright gruesome implications it meant for Sentinel wearing one as a trophy after murdering the Prime it belonged to.

That also means B-127 was able to see what Orion Pax and Elita-One weren’t able to see right before D-16 was about to murder the guy. Yeah, they were able to show all of Iacon all of the shitty actions he did BEFORE he captured B and D and half of the High Guard, but none of what transpired in that torture room was ever broadcasted to any servant class workers, or civilians in general, or to Orion Pax and Elita-1.

But B-127 saw it. He saw ALL of it. He was THERE. He was the only other friend that D-16 had in there, the only other friend of Orion Pax and Elita-1 that was in there. The High Guard didn’t count, they haven’t seen any of what Sentinel did through the lenses of B-127.

Through the lenses of a friend to the inevitable Optimus Prime.

So here’s what I’m imagining. B-127 is going to play devil’s advocate, one way or another, whenever there’s a time when the subject of a conversation would be Megatron related. He would be able to recollect their time together in that room with Sentinel and the rest of the High Guard—waiting to be tortured and framed and EXECUTED in front of the WHOLE CITY OF IACON. B-127 and D-16’s HOME.

He’d most likely be able to sympathize, maybe even EMPATHIZE, with Megatron’s motives. Unlike Orion Pax or Elita-1. Of course we all know that Optimus was friends with Megatron for way longer than B-127, but again he didn’t see what B-127 saw. And… now that I’m thinking about it… B-127 is a little bit like D-16. In a sense.

I think we all saw how eager he was to use his knife hands as often as possible after he discovered them. Kind of like how D-16 became real attached to his canons, both in and out of his alt-mode, when he got them. Oh my god, I could seriously go on and on about so many minor character parallels between D-16/Megatron and B-127 if I could. Like I’m just now thinking about how B and D could’ve gotten along a lot better if they actually got to know each other. The main reasoning why they’d understand each other a lot:

They both know what it’s been like to face the unjust consequences of the system they were unknowingly forced into.

While Orion was, from a shallow perspective, a rebellious punk who was always putting himself in these whacky situations to get what he wants, where D-16 would have to come and save his aft, while he’d suffer the consequences later on. Though Orion was able to subdue D-16’s wrath with calming reassurance, D-16 would still continue to be the “understanding type” from Orion’s perspective as long as he was able to be forgiven after another one of his stunts, that sometimes, he even brings D-16 into against his better—more cautious—judgement.

And Elita being the commanding type, incredibly determined at any given task she puts her mind to, like Orion, she too faced the consequences of Orion’s actions, like D-16. But then again, her strong headed attitude and overall ability to get back up and immediately put herself back to work to accomplish her goals, is what separates her from the rest of the gang; by being responsible for herself and herself only, and when ORION’S actions got HER demoted, she’s rightfully upset and makes it well-known to Orion and holds him accountable.

But B-127 isn’t headstrong like Elita, and he isn’t rebellious like Orion. He’s his own in-depth unique thing that has a slightly more similar comparison with D-16 than the other two. It’s definitely hidden well. But not completely invisible. He’s more complaisant when it comes to facing consequences, especially when he doesn’t have a choice in the system he grew up in.

And so is D-16. He literally said he deserved it when DARKWING of all bots decked him in the face for defending Orion.

As I was saying, I genuinely do believe that B-127’s progression through the story would be him being a kind of devil’s advocate to Megatron, with him being able to better comprehend the events that were put into play and how they conspired into D-16 killing Sentinel, cementing his role as Megatron. And how B-127 would be the one to be the metaphorical dampener when it comes to any misinformation that’s potentially passed around when it comes to Megatron’s “descent into madness” and be able to back himself up with the proof that’s up in his noggin.

He’ll be able to SAY something.

He’ll be able to say that D-16… that Megatron is worth sympathizing, is worth UNDERSTANDING, even when what he did was horrific to say the least.

.

.

.

And imagine how much of a downfall it would be if Megatron were to be the one to tear out B-127’s very instrument that was one of his main tools in saying ANYTHING that could’ve brought a bit more understanding to HIS story… From an up-close and personal perspective, outside of his own.

To show is to inform, to communicate is to educate.

Without his voice box he can always just let someone project his memories onto a screen… but to sit back and not give any verbal feedback of his personal feelings about it, would be less than ideal to the interaction-starved mech we know and love. Especially since he was one of the mechs that played one of the biggest roles in history that could wholeheartedly understand Megatron’s origins more than anyone could know.

Lillian “Lily” Ramsay (ex-wife)

A few things to get to know Lyle!

He is a bit of a bookworm. He loves reading, it’s one of his favourite activities, and he has a pretty extensive book collection at home. He has a soft spot for mystery/crime novels. 

He can’t function without his morning coffee. 

I’m not saying that he might still have some feelings for Blair… but he might still have some feelings for Blair. 😂 

Lyle is not as confident as he might appear to be—there are some self esteem issues lurking underneath. He’s kinda working on them, though. 

He is quite calm and patient, maybe a tad too much sometimes. Not very confrontational, either, he prefers to look for a peaceful resolution first. That being said, he isn’t without flaw in this regard, he can lose his temper in the “right” circumstances, if he’s being pushed really hard. The best example would be some of the uglier arguments he and his ex-wife had, back when they were still together, which ended up with the two of them saying some pretty nasty things to each other. That’s not who Lyle is, though, and he isn’t proud of those times at all, but yeah, everyone has their limits, and he reached his a few times.  

He doesn't have any pets at the moment, but he is considering adopting a cat at some point!

And here are some facts/lore bits I already shared in a previous post a while ago, but I'll copy-paste them here, too, to have them all in one place. 😂

Lyle is a tad more on the introvert side. He tends to be more quiet and reserved, and even if he technically doesn’t mind sharing things about himself or speaking his mind about this and that, chances are he won’t do it unless asked to, or unless he feels comfortable enough around the people he is with. He’s not necessarily the anxious type, he doesn’t mind being in social settings and does just fine. He actually enjoys his time out and interacting with people, especially given his occupation. That being said, his social battery drains faster than that of other people. He needs to have his “alone time” every now and then, otherwise he will get progressively more mentally exhausted. 

The move to England, at the end of 2021, was something he and his wife, Lily, agreed to do together, as part of their final attempt to mend their marriage. To start anew, so to speak.

Thinking about Army of the Doomstar again and how right before they play Aortic Desecration, Nathan is all, "What if this is the wrong song? 😧😨 "

Babygirl the first words are "we are all going to die", what the fuck made you think this was the RIGHT song???

I've decided the only reason Lloyd, known descendant of dragons, didn't tell this to Egalt, who refuses to train non-dragons, is for the same reason he never mentioned he's the First Spinjitsu Master's grandson. It just never came up. Nobody asked him directly about it. And besides, he's only like, one-fourth dragon, so does it really count? He doesn't look like a dragon, and he has never in his life considered himself a dragon. Mentioning his ancestry to Egalt probably would've just made him look like some hotshot, or make him more annoyed. There's no need to bring up such a silly little fact. He's sure it won't be important later.

i used to freehand comics all the time as a child and since the part i liked was the drawing part i would just draw panel after panel because i didn't want to stop drawing to think about icky icky words, plus the story TOTALLY still made perfect sense! to me! and noone else, but 'whoooo caaaaares omgggg its not like comics and sequantial art are a communicative meeediummmm lmaoooooo'. i spent my entire childhood telling myself stuff like "oh pfft I know this story by heart- ill SIMPLY remember the dialogue and write it later" ...and. I can't help but admire baby maiora's (call that a minora ba tm tsk) fucking audacity? hubris? confident wrongness? kid couldn't even remember to finish the comics in the first place? INCREDIBLE levels of unearned self assurance, wish that were me, genuinely- what an icon!!! anyway i think i have forever cursed myself
