#transformers rant

[hiimalex]

im like.... The biggest hyorocrite in the transformers fandom.

i hate Megastar (Megatron x Starscream), I even got the tags blocked.

Yet I ship Megatron x Optimus and Starscream x Bee,, like those aren't better than Megastar.😭😭😭

I'm the king of transformers hypocrisy now. Nobody shall take my crown from me. Thank you...

[lara-prism-light]

Nobody asked but I'm going to say it anyway.

The reason I've never been interested in Megop is not because I don't like the ship (specifically now that I've watched TF One), the real reason is the over-infantilization of Optimus/Orion Pax.

For some reason this fandom likes to infantilize him and that always bothered me. I don't have a problem with different interpretations in ships, fics and AUs, but I always found it strange that OP is always presented as extremely innocent on a childish level.

Like, he's practically a grown man and acts like one in EVERY continuity! Yeah, in the Aline continuity it says in the books that he was shy and awkward before becoming a Prime, but that's not the same as "uwu gay boy"!

This honestly turned me off a lot from the ship, SPECIFICALLY Prime Megop!

Can we have like, Megop but both act like adults?? Can we just have the ship where Optimus acts like a mature and serious character??

Again, nothing against reinterpretations, I just think this infantilization of the OP is very pointless and almost kind of ruins the ships involving him(yeah, that goes for other ships involving him too!)

It's ok to make him awkward and shy, we've seen that in Animated and Cyberverse and it works really well! But please, can we stop with the infantilization? This is getting to a point where it's uncomfortable!

TFE RANT (also spoilers)

Okay, so for those of you who haven't heard of Transformers Earth Spark, it's basically a show where the cybertronian War is technically over and now cybertronians are trying to get used to the life on earth. But they are completely treated like they are animals. If you want to watch the show yourself then go right ahead it should be on Amazon Prime or on Paramount Plus because this will contain spoilers for the first season and the 2nd season so feel free to skip this.

ANYWAY!

So all of you know the Decepticons right?

👆

These guys?

Well, near the end of the last episode of season 1 of Earth Spark they all decided to work together with the Decepticons to take down mandroid, the main antagonist of season 1. There was also two episodes where one of the Decepticons started to have a relationship with the Malto family. Like for example

Nightshade and tarantulas:

And Starscream and hashtag:

See how these two GIFs are completely wholesome? Infact, the first season teaches that even though somebody could be on the opposite side of things that doesn't initially mean that they are a bad guy completely, just misunderstood.

It teaches that everyone can have a second chance if they really try but not everyone can really get that second chance.

And then season 2 comes around,

And BOY was I pissed off about it.

Now I haven't watched season 2 myself but I have watched one episode in it and that's it. remember that I said that the Decepticons finally decided to fight Mandroid thanks to Twitch and that some of the Terrans actually had some decent relationships with some of the Decepticons?

Well season two just completely THROWS ALL OF IT OUT OF THE FUCKING WINDOW!!!

When I watch season 2 I thought it was going to be all cool and hype and I thought everyone was just overreacting over season 2. NOPE! THEY HAD THE RIGHT TO BE UPSET! Because one episode in and I was immediately flashed banged with shock. Robby was explaining after 2 years of like saving cybertronians from Mandroid's destruction the quintus prime Stone (I don't remember what it's called) kind of shattered into like thousands of pieces across the globe. He then says that the Decepticons help them to retrieve them but then they decided to turn on them and get the shards for themselves. EVEN THOUGH THE FIRST SEASON SAID THAT NOT ALL DECEPTICONS ARE BAD!!

Like where did this even come from!? And why make them back into villains when we already saw the shot of them HELPING TWITCH AND HER FAM FROM KILLING ALL CYBERTRONIANS!? Like, what is the point of this!? If you're just going to make them bad guys anyway, why give the Terrans a chance to understand them and sympathize with the 'cons!? You had such a good new take on the Transformers yet you decided to throw away that said good take and just take it back to square one!

WHAT THE HELL HASBRO!?

*SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

And don't get me started with Bumblebee's relationship with Breakdown. You clearly set them up to be best buddies and then you just set that friendship arc on fire and just went on the 'Con vs 'Bot arc again. But the part that pisses me off the most is Starscream's abandon arc. Earthspark *clearly* wanted to make this Starscream as sympathetic as possible and this could have worked well. IF THEY DIDNT MAKE HIM THE MAIN VILLIAN IN SEASON 2!

And I guess prowl appearing in season 3 is kind of nice but it would have been better if he was like the villain instead of Starscream. If they were going to be good Decepticons then there has to be bad Autobots. But hey, Hasbro isnt keen on keeping promises are you Hasbro?

God, you had such a good idea and you just had to ruin it with season 2 and 3. I hope the rumors of Earthspark getting canceled are true thanks to this.

Also, GIVE US A TRUELY, ACTUAL, HEROIC, SYMPATHETIC STARSCREAM FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! **AND DONT FUCK IT UP THIS TIME!!!**

Okay, I think I'm done for now, but I might add a part 2 if I decided to watch the rest of season 2 and season 3.

K bye!

Okay.

Another Transformers One “Rant”

For those who are disappointed in the trailer for the movie coming out in September….

It’s okay not to like it, but it’s not okay to wine and wine about it.

Grow up, shut up and move on. We get enough negativity already with what’s happening in the world right now.

You should be more worried about a possible WORLD WAR HAPPENING! Or your family!

So, put on your big girl/boy pants and go see “The Wild Robot” instead, no one gives a crap if you see “Transformers One” or not!

Thanks.

(Guys, be the stronger person and do not engage the negativity.)

[stinger-shot]

Does anyone else just refuse to finish tfp or is it just me?

I litterly have 2 episodes to go then I'm finished but i dont want to finish it! I just keep rewatching episodes!!

Especially the synth-N episode...

I just don't wanna finish it! I wish there was more tfp..

[goldbug127]

guys, I'm watching Transformers: Prime for the first time and, I'm sorry but Ultra Magnus is giving me such an ick rn.

like, I appreciate a man who's all about following the rules, sometimes by-the-book is a great way of doing stuff (especially if the book was heavily influenced by our dear Optimus) but he just seems so like akshjdgsks?? I don't even really know how to describe it

he just seems really dismissive of everyone he views as even slightly less than him, whether that be professionally or otherwise

like he treats the humans with what I can only describe as distain, he's so pressed about the rules it's like he forgets this is an entirely alien species, they're not gonna know the socially correct way to interact with you, bro, they're from a different planet

and the way he doesn't bother learning any of their names? I feel like it's kinda obvious these little guys are really important to the rest of team Prime but he won't even refer to them by the name of their species let alone trying to know them individually

and I guess I can excuse that for now, you know, I get there's a lot going on at the moment what with Optimus and Smokescreen missing and Megatron chilling in his kickass fortress but I hope he tries to learn them later at least

also, what's with the attitude towards Bulkhead and Wheeljack? I mean, he says the word "wrecker" like it's a damn slur

these guys have survived years fighting Megatron and the decepticons, they're one of the few groups left and two significant members of their team are wreckers and Ultra Magnus doesn't even consider that their tactics and abilities may have had a hand in helping the group fight and survive. he acts like they're wild animals he needs to wrangle so they can be of any use

idk guys, he got the bearings of a good leader, I've obviously only known him for a few episodes, maybe him being a lil funny is gonna be part of a character arc idk, but I'm just not vibing with him rn

[averagecontentenjoyer121]

This man enrages me every time a new Transformers movie comes out that isn’t made by Micheal Bay, he NEEDS to learn that not every movie has to connect back to the bayverse.

He’s recently made a claim that Transformers One is a prequel to the Micheal Bay films, which it isn’t

First off the whole of Cybertron looks nothing like it does in the bay films. In One it looks like a planet you can actually live in, also there is a whole surface area which doesn’t exist in the Micheal Bay films.

What could be the Quintessons in Age Of Extinction once again look completely different.

Sentinel Prime, Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, especially Elita look different

You’re telling me these is the same character

Also in the Bayverse comics Elita, Optimus, and Megatron are said to be followers of Sentinels teachings. Doesn’t look like sentinel’s gonna teach much in One getting tied up by the Quintesson.

It’s the same thing with Rise of the Beast Lorenzo claimed it was a part of the Bayverse continuity even though there were glaring continuity errors. The biggest one being the planet eater Unicron. In The Last Knight Unicron is the earth in Rise of the Beasts his floating somewhere is space eating planets.

A transformers rant

I saw a video by emperor kumkwat on YouTube that said that the original 2007 spotlight arcee comic was “transphobic” for the stupidest reason.

emperor kumkwat said that it was “transphobic” because of the fact that arcee had her gender changed against her will. Apparently it was “making transitioning look scary” and “could damage people’s ideas of trans people”.

false

it was only the fact that it was done to arcee against her will that made it scary. If she wanted it, it would have seemed less scary. Anything can be scary if it is done to you against your will. And I don’t know how that comic would turn people transphobic? Anybody who reads it will probably know not to judge people who want it willingly. The comic isn’t telling people to hate them.

I couldn’t blame Simon furman for hating the female transformers when they first became a thing. The original ones were these 3 identical looking transformers that all acted the same and were much shorter than the male transformers. Female transformers are cool now, but not back in the 80s lol.

[plumpengu]

so ive started reading the IDW comics bc i wanted to get more into transformers. but see i cant just start in phase 2 with lost light and the wreckers and all that, like i NEED to read phase 1 first even if it’s not actually necessary. just for my own satisfaction yk? now the issue is everyone on my dash keeps talking about lost light and their blorbos and what not and i wanna interact with all of it BUT ITS SO FAR FROM WHERE I AM IN THE SERIES THAT I BARELY EVEN UNDERSTAND ANY OF IT

[zorangezest]

thanks for listening

THIS!!!!

I love Raf. I respect this little man. Freaking legend!

I don’t post a lot of TFP rents and opinions in this blog but RAFAEL IS A FRAGGING CHAD MAN.

He is a super genius, and he is just SO CHILL ABOUT THE WHOLE THING!

I would straight up drink from the sewer to get his attitude. He can just straight up diffuse a nuclear bomb from his own bed and goes, “Sweet, now anything else I can help with?”

Somehow someway this kid beats alien robots with millions of years of trainings and just like “Oh yeah I did it. So what? You can be one too I bet if you just like try enough.” He could be tasked with the weight of the world in his shoulder and still be: “Yeah just give me like two hours and some cookies. And do you mind if I play my lofi music out loud?”

I hate it when people portray Rafael as some sort of nerdy shy little kid. Sure that’s a cute take but the Raf I know is the most gorgeous chad in the world and he’s only twelve! And not only that he’s been hit by dark Energon and got his organs crisped up! He’s almost stabbed and burned and torn. And he’s hacked into government FBI Pentagon Nemisis who knew how many entities! And yet the only time we ever see Raf truly having a stress meltdown is when Jack and Miko is having an argument.

At this point if Rafael will get any gifted child burnout he’s gonna chant “Nooooo I’ll become like Fowler at this rate! Or worse! Like the FBI!”

Sometimes a day makes you want a Starscream to bite and squeeze

Alpha trion half transformed!!!

[km3tt0]

I just read this issue and god lord, it hurt me more than I expected

Is the fact that even if Bee was mad at him, Star never stop trying to talk to him again, he just craves his little interactions together.

The last panel is the one who broke me entirely. He was probably sleeping on his desk, freshly awake and at the moment he heard his name he believed for a moment, for a brief moment, that it was Bee finally talking to him, finally going back to their little routine of fighting with each other. Starscream hoped his name was being pronounced by Bee again.

I get that people want to separate the prick prowl from tfa prowl but gah dAYUM let's not pretend that his personality is a face-first stop at him having a cop car as an alt. Let's take a moment to appreciate how deep his personality runs and how the writers write him. He's got depth 20 feet deep and people need to appreciate that instead of stopping at Prick Cop end of story. Because that's where the story begins! Don't be a pussy! Venture further, read about him, and take a moment to appreciate the character analysis writings people give him! You can still hate him, but hate him and understand that there's more of him!

he's not a fucking prick ass cop he's autistic and he really likes nature
