#wfc episode 2

[ravemetrotron]

What if TFP Soundwave is disabled and not simply "Decepticon of weird design"? Like, he must have taken some horrifing injuries in one of the battles that had resulted in the loss of his face and the need to rebuilt much of his body. Then he never pursued the reconstrucion of his face even when he could afford it because 1) His only S/O is Megatron and he doesn't really care how his soldiers look as long as they are competent and loyal 2)Soundwave himself ended up actually liking looking that way That's the way to explain why WFC and TFP Soundwave look so different despite being from very closely related continities.

Well from his concepts and pre-TFP designs, we can see his current build is a downsized version of his former self likely just to suit his new job of being their communications officer. However the idea that he was covering up facial injuries still makes sense as it could’ve been injured a long time ago even before current day.

Your theory on being disabled from injury and having to replace/repair places stands to reason though as he was a gladiator alongside Megatronus.

And the part about not caring/not being able to fix his face is actually really good, I mean he was insanely loyal to Megatron and maybe that overpowered any want or need to go out of his way to get repairs.

The other option about him just liking that look on himself brings the mention that the autobots are scared of him to mind. Ratchet was even unsettled, the episode they had him captured— I don’t remember who specifically but somebody— asked if he was even Cybertronian. I wonder if he gets a kick out of that, looking like some sort of skinwalker amongst their kind or just finding it funny when others are like

I don’t know if you meant to send this to someone else cause I don’t usually get asks but I hope this was sufficient, thanks anon!

fvcked up bingo: idw or Earthspark Megastar (or both) and WFC Jetfire/Starscream ᕙ⁠(⁠☉⁠ਊ⁠☉⁠)⁠ᕗ

i'd love to answer this with a passionate ramble but unfortunately these are the 2 versions of megastar i know the least about so apologies if my answers are lacking 😓

earthspark:

this continuity. sure exists.

i'm sorry to say that i've been avoiding any earthspark-related stuff ever since i first saw blue-eyed starscream in that teaser trailer that was posted to hype up the rest of season 1's episodes coming out. the reason? this continuity's starscream.

this starscream looked and smelled too much like the autobot starscream trope and it caused me to block every variation of the earthspark tag just to avoid getting jumpscared by him.

as for my opinions on this continuity's megastar: no. reformed old man megatron is a great character and deserves to be paired up with someone who is NOT this "Stop Me on fanfiction.net" expy pathetic misunderstood uwu bad boy bait. just. NO.

IDW:

i don't have much to say because the only IDW TF comic series i've read in full are MTMTE & lost light but: i think they should've ended up together, heal from their trauma together, apologize & forgive the wrongdoings they've inflicted on eachother and along the way give starscream a proper redemption arc like megatron

WFC skystar:

this is gonna be my answer to every autobot x starscream ship that gets sent my way (MINUS windblade x starscream. that ship is cool and sexy so it can stay). i'm sorry but they're all my NOTPs.

and nothing is a bigger NOTP for me than this ship. starscream deserves to be with someone that isn't a living piece of white bread.

i wish skyfire never existed.

sorry that the majority of the post turned out pretty negative but i just can't stand like 2 out of these 3 ships :(

[steelthroat]

What’s your favourite transformers series I’m curious

(Also have you been able to watch armada yet because you should I got sites if you need it)

Hello hello there~

That's a difficult question since I really like everything but for different reasons... also because I have a love/disappointment relationship with every single piece of this franchise 😔👍🤙

I watched all the movies, Prime, animated, Earthspark, the Netflix trilogy, half of rid2015, 2/3 of rescue bots, and I'm finishing the g1 cartoon. ( I also saw sparse episodes from Masterforce and victory, but one day, I'm gonna approach the Japanese continuity from the start... one day)

I have a soft spot for G1 because in this time of my life, I need silliness and plot bunnies. G1 is covering for my needs, so atm I'm biased 😭😅

Ask me the same question in a couple of months, and the answer will probably change

2 years ago, I would have answered, "i will never anything more than Prime." Ooooh, I really love that series. Animated is at the same level as Prime to me and broke me just as much...

Also, I know it's controversial, and I can see the very obvious flaws, but... I feel like the Netflix trilogy was... good. Listen, other than the comics and maybe the wfc videogames, I feel like I've never felt the war more real. Like yes, please. I know many people judge it as angsty and stuff, but hear me out! SOME ASPECT OF THE SHOW WERE ACTUALLY PRETTY EFFING AWESOME RAAAAAAAAAH

About armada, sure thanks! I'm planning to see it in Italian, in English and subbed to see the differences and I have to start somewhere :D

Thank you my pirate comrade 🏴‍☠️🦜☠️

Star: How dare you assign me to guard duty! I’m Starscream, the mighty! >:((((

Skywarp: Have fun playing crystal nerd, Screamer! Bye ❤️ >:333

—————

“But that geeky Starscream would take all the credit” -TC

LMFAO his trine really don’t hold back

—————

Thank you Spike, and B! I’m glad someone is here to save Skyfire

—————

That was the most pathetic “decepticons retreat” I’ve ever heard from Megs

—————

“It’s great not worrying about the Decepticons for a change”

-_- you just HAD to say it, didn’t you?

—————

I could watch them transform all day too ❤️

—————

“Initiate brain scan”

[no thoughts head empty]

—————

“And Slag is stupid”

Grimlock go, nom nom- YEET

Megs: the energon cubes look unstable

Star, no hesitation: what a wonderful time to notice

[the energon cubes refined from the meteor explodes]

Megs:

—————

Skywarp, holding a guy: wanna play catch?

Starscream: we’re not here to frolic, Skywarp!

This is the guy you put in charge two episodes ago, Megatron

—————

“Laserbeak, where are your manners?”

JDMDKDNM DYING LMAO

—————

[Star, and Skywarp fighting in the elevator, while TC wishes he could phase through the wall and be anywhere but here]

—————

I really like Shockwaves voice, it’s very satisfying

Can we have an episode where it’s just a “day in the life of Shockwave” and it’s just him narrating everything he does in his lab

Bonus if we get commentary on what he thinks of everyone

—————

The autobots are so funny omg

“Yo, Thundercracker! This belong to you?”

Tc, turning around: ?????

[explosion]

Spike’s dad: when next we meet we’re enemies!

Spike: :(

This is where the daddy issues starts-

Mad scientist gets betrayed by the Decepticons: [surprised pikachu face]

I don’t know what to tell you buddy, they’re called Decepticons. This is on you

—————

Spike, thinking he reversed the brainwashing on his dad: Dad! :D

Spike’s dad, grabbing Spike and throwing him: don’t call me that ever again!

Daddy issues skyrocketing 😔

—————

Context: im drawing while watching

Literally the next scene, I look up from my tablet and get jumpscared by robot tiddy-

GodDAMN! I feel like it gets bigger every time I see him

—————

Hear me out, Cybertron as another moon would be so cool (if it wasn’t so destructive to have it orbit lol)

—————

Poor Optimus tho, what a decision he’s faced with

Risk Cybertron, and everyone on it, dying, or risk Earth getting destroyed.

He needs a break

—————

Megs, pay attention! I think you’re celebrating too early! Now is not the time to pull a Starscream-

—————

“Cross me again, Starscream, and I’ll reduce you to titanium fragments”

Megs, we all know you won’t

“This is the only warning I intend to give”

Lies.

I’m tempted to count all future warnings

—————

Omg for once Starscream is making more sense than Megs

—————

[Mad scientist continues to be betrayed by the Decepticons]

Me, sipping my empty coffee cup: sounds like a you problem

—————

LMFAO GRIMLOCK

Optimus: we need your help

Grimlock: sounds like a you problem

That mech really said “makes no difference to me if your planet gets destroyed” like WOW

—————

Wheeljack, coming in clutch: with you on it?

Grimlock:

Grimlock: didn’t think of that….

—————

[intense natural disasters happening as a result of Cybertron being in orbit]

[The Decepticons base is in the ocean]

[insane storms and flooding at the base]

Megs:

Megs: I may have miscalculated-

—————

[Ironhide successfully stops a volcano from becoming active]

Nice job Ironhide!

“Let’s hope the Dinobots are half as good as me”

I’m sure they’re fine

[cuts to the Dinobots struggling to deal with an incoming tsunami at the beach]

Omg???? Why did you send these poor dumbasses to deal with this??? They’re literally throwing trees and rock at the waves???

Setting them up for failure omg 😔

—————

Shockwave: prepare for domination!

I’m ready-

—————

Brawn, with a big metal stick : prepare for a very large headache

Shockwave: your primitive weapon is useless!

[he melts the weapon]

Brawn:

I don’t know why you thought that would work

—————

Skyfire ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Look at him housecleaning ❤️❤️

—————

LMFAO “DECEPTIVBUM”

Skyfire I love you!

Star, you fumbled big time. He’s such a catch ❤️

—————

Rumble is such a menace

He trips one of the human workers they got captive, then scolds him for lying down on the job

Such cat behavior

—————

Star: Your plan is shit!

Megs: [throws the nearest giant object at him]

—————

Mad scientist, getting scolded by Megs: maybe Starscream is the ally I’m looking for?

You couldn’t be more wrong

—————

“I left Starscream behind to-”

[Hispanic sigh]

Why did you think that’s a good idea???? Megatron?? Hello??? Keep an eye on the guy that’s infamous for treachery?????

—————

Star, scheming loudly with the mad scientist:

Maybe tone it down-

Megs: that’s mutiny, Starscream! The punishment is death!

-_-

—————

[the brainwashed people not working as intended]

Megs, shocked: did the doctor betray me???

I don’t know why you’re surprised-

Oh there goes Starscream with mad scientist guy

Bye bye 👋

—————

Skyfire coming in clutch, and freeing the brainwashed people ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Omg AND he brought reinforcements!!!

❤️❤️❤️

—————

The Decepticons: Megatron left without us???

He sure did, y’all better get moving

—————

There goes that plan, Megatron

Back to square one, and I have some ideas

1. If you’re not going to kill Star, at least keep an eye on him

2. Don’t celebrate too early

3. Keep an eye on Starscream

4. Learn to listen to others advice

5. Think ahead

6. Keep an eye on Starscream or deal with him??? Omg???

—————

Hey! Don’t bully Rumble, Skywarp!

Soundwave! Your son is being bullied! Do something??? Anything??

Don’t step on Frenzy- HA THATS WHAT YOU GET SKYWARP!

Love how TC barely tried to hold Rumble back lol

Even funnier is Megs stepping in like he’s trying to get his kids to stop fighting

—————

This mad scientist guy is so stupid trusting Starscream

He will betray you faster than Megatron did

—————

Starscream, making the scientist guys invention more dangerous: This will begin building power to infinite capacity!

Mad scientist: infinite capacity?! But it will explode and destroy earth!

Starscream, in the sassiest voice imaginable: very good doctor, you understand perfectly :3

I told you so

Mad scientist: oh I’ll watch this while you’re away ;3

Starscream: do you take me for a fool???

You can’t out scheme Starscream bro, just face the consequences

—————

Oh he’s begging now

Sorry you can’t out beg Starscream either

Just take the L

—————

Omg mad scientist tried sacrificing himself to save earth, he failed, but it’s a nice thought

—————

Lmao never thought I’d here Optimus say “lay it on me man”

10/10

—————

Oh megs found the infinite power generator while it’s still charging up- oh there’s the autobots

There goes that plan Screamer

—————

Omg Star turned the mad scientist in a cyborg

Welp, that’s what you get for trusting Starscream

—————

Megs, finding out Star’s plan: when I get my hands on that traitor >:(((

And do what???? What are you gonna do???

—————

Omg W for mad scientist guy, he convinced Star to go investigate why the timer got stopped.

Good job lol

Now figure out how you’re getting off Cybertron

—————

Aww op and megs are getting along- and now they’re fighting with the explosion hazard

—————

Ok they stopped fighting

Megs transformed into a gun, ok ok, what you gonna do with the explodey thing-

“Now load me”

[spitting my drink]

IM SORRY, WHAT-

—————

LMFAO

So they shoot the exlpodey into space just as Star was arriving

“What was-“

[explosion]

I’m sure he’s fine, he’s like a cockroach, you can’t get rid of him no matter how hard you try

—————

Megatron: Welcome back Starscream >:]

Starscream: I’m in danger

—————

LMFAO

“What do you think he’ll do to Starscream?”

“Nothing gentle”

Cue to the Autobots laughing omg

—————

Insecticons!!!

❤️❤️❤️

—————

Skyfire is going to help! Yay!

Love me some Skyfire screentime!

—————

Brawn: they look like optical illusions.

[cut to getting shot at]

Skyfire: still think they’re optical illusions?

—————

Lmfao the rest of the Autobots are late cause they took a shortcut that consists of digging under a festival that was in the way

—————

“I’m not tired” as he’s out of breath from digging

Op is just like, let me try, and instantly gets through to help against the insecticons

—————

It’s the cute little repetitions after the insecticons speak ❤️

—————

Skyfire has so many puns omg

I love him ❤️

—————

Omg Shrapnel controlling lightning is so cool omg

And only to get thwarted by the Autobots being grounded with rubber tires on the ground

—————

LMFAO

Optimus, about to throw a giant ship: Megatron, catch!

Megatron, getting absolutely knocked tf out:

Insecticons: maybe we chose the wrong ally…

—————

[Insecticons betray Megatron]

Megs, shocked for some reason: Get them, Decepticons!

You really shouldn’t be surprised at this point

—————

Constructicons!!!!

❤️❤️❤️

—————

Is that Star???

Why are you still trusting him???

I’m not surprised, just disappointed in you Megs

—————

“We failed before through no fault of mine”

Absolute lies Megs, I’m not saying you’re completely to blame, but you definitely take lots of it.

—————

Ooo Wheeljack made a new cannon- and it blew up in his face

—————

“Even if it means terminating you, Starscream”

lol

“I was only raising a legal point”

You tell him Star

—————

Spike: they don’t call them the Decepticons for nothing

Optimus, being an honorable idiot: it’s a fair battle, under those rules I’m confident I can beat him

Meanwhile Megatron is getting ready to cheat by using these chips, that cybertronions have that give them power or something, from all of his Decepticons. Basically giving him the power of an army

Good luck Optimus

—————

Optimus: besides if he doesn’t abide by the rules, Teletraan I will tell us

so about that

[looks at the constructicons]

You may wanna guard Teletraan I

—————

Shame there’s no popcorn for this arena fight

—————

Op gets immediately thrown during the handshake

—————

Star, watching the fight: he’s using all my abilities :3

—————

His cheating is so obvious tho, you don’t need Teletraan I???? Like he obviously couldn’t do any of that before?????

—————

Guys that hole in the floor is really obvious, they’re gonna know someone tampered with Teletraan I

Oh nice, Dinobots to the rescue!

—————

“We’ll dinobot them to pieces!”

—————

👀

Devastator!!!!

❤️❤️❤️

—————

“Our dinobuddies!” 🥹

—————

lol the constructicons forgot to deal with Teletraan I and the Autobots found out about the cheating

—————

There goes that plan Megs

—————

Oh no! They fell in lava!!!!

My baby girl!! My Star!

And Soundwave! No! The cassettes :((((

They’re fine, still got the other season to watch lol

Let’s Play Transformers War for Cybertron, Chapter 2

Decepticon Campaign - Fuel of War

The universe's most complicated booty call.

[goingwhale]

Cringe Siege Megatron vs the chad G1 Silver Bolt

[pluralsword]

Compiled a list of all the different scoped weapons we’ve seen Arcee use in canon, for reasons, does anybody have any to add? It’s really interesting how vastly different the designs are. Side-mounts, holosight-esque, and whatever the scrap is going on with Earthspark Arcee’s snub-scope. An image of her from WFC the videogame with any of the scoped guns would also be appreciated (or really anything of her from any of the videogames with a scoped weapon)

Close up of images in order of appearance below

IDW1/IDW2005 Arcee (in 2012, three full body reformats so far on her gender journey, currently with a cybertronian car alt-mode) with side-mount stock over shoulder two-hand rifle in Robots in Disguise #9, “Night and the City.”

Same Arcee (2013) with a massive over the shoulder missile launcher or cannon, in Robots in Disguise #23, Dark Cybertron #3, “Winners and Losers.” Honestly this thing may have a scope but it sure seems like she’s eyeballing until she has the go ahead to fire. This weapon is called the Superior Cannon in Wave 2 (2019) of the now canceled Transformers Trading Card Game by Wizards of the Coast.

Forged to Fight Arcee (present in the game at launch in 2017, basically T30 Generations Arcee but lankier with long arms) kneeling to fire her stock mounted round scope blue sniper rifle with a side mounted red laser sight as part of her special attack. The front of the barrel lights up blue when it fires... and what is actually fired is a metal bullet! A nice surprise from a G1-stylized character. Image sourced from this video.

IDW1/IDW2005 Arcee (2018, now five full body reformats so far on her gender journey, currently with an earth car alt-mode that was inspired by the Lotus Elite, this is the form she has at the end of the series we will go off about this some other time) with a fold-up/modular designated marksbot rifle looking gun with a squarish digital sight, in Unicron #2, “Stranger Eons.” It’s funny, we never see her IDW1 iteration shoot any of these three, but we do see her shoot her guns with only iron sights or none at all iirc? IDW2 on the other hand we’ll talk about in a bit, but first, Cyberverse Arcee!

Cyberverse Arcee (in 2020) in Cyberverse Season 3 Episode 13 “The Judge” readying a very large blaster with a drum ammunition barrel (when she isn’t shooting her blaster pistols or in melee, shooting a gun with a drum barrel seems to be her thing, specifically, very large guns, usually minigun/autocannon/rotary cannon sort of deal) that has a sloped forend and ridges under the front of the gun barrel, and either has a narrow scope or ?ammo counter?/probably a scope above the ammo barrel. (remembered her shooting this thanks to @arceespinkgun​ ‘s post of gifs of Shadow Striker and Arcee fighting together in this episode after seeing the G1 images they reblogged this post with, thank you!!) She also never uses the scope when she shoots the thing in her exuberant battle delight, unlike somebody...

IDW2/IDW2019 Arcee (2021, notes on reformats later)*, has a cybertronian look the whole series), aiming her blocky anti-armor rifle while crouching, the scope is kind of holosight-like, in Transformers #35, “Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust II”. She shoots this thing several times in the series and gosh you don’t want to get hit by the brief beam of plasma that cuts through a Seeker like butter when she pulls the trigger. RE reformats: possibly one, twice if she did off-screen before series start for trans reasons? like she had a look more like Earthrise Arcee at the beginning mixed with IDW1 but then they went for the An Arcee Sort of Day look that is basically a WFC Chromia/Nightbird retool with outer armor of the backpack made into back stacks instead after Galaxies was over, maybe because she joined the Autobots and wanted to change her look or literally armor up, or the artists just felt like it, we don’t know but would like to know. In any case her alt mode went from a sci-fi convertible to an armored fighting car look. (which we are the only person we know of with a custom or toy of at all so far as of early 2023)

Then from this promotional image from Nickelodeon we have Earthspark Arcee (2023) smiling while one-handing a giant aft pistol that’s all rounded and curved with a TAIL FIN SCOPE in a way that looks like her G1 car mode she doesn’t have since she has a muscle car mode instead. Okay dear you’re cool as frag for having a gun that looks like the alt mode you don’t have while you rock the boxier one you have instead. I’m so trans that I can hold a version of my old body in my hand and shoot it. Like okay we’re just waiting for her to say she’s trans now right that’s the consensus- anyway about the scope:

HOW DOES SHE AIM DOWN THAT SCOPE. IF THAT’S WHAT IT IS. LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING? Like this goes past what her IDW2 rifle’s scope does which lets her comfortably lean her head down a little while resting the gun against her neck guard armor- but this is like, plonking your head down to aim forward unless... unless she eyeballs the scope itself or links up with it via her hand. Which she could. Would not put past sage in martial arts, ethics, and bullshitting Earthspark Arcee to have a weapon that defies expectations while showing her history in the palm of her hand. Gods why do we feel like crying over this promo image, anyway that’s a wrap on this until y’all send us more images.

Also we found the gun thanks to @fancyrobotenthusiast​ ‘s post of the image and then we did a reverse google image search while we started compiling the other images finding that inspired, so thank you, you by chance gave our trans brain something to do for a few hours that has made us very happy after

re: transformers opinions: would you rank each canon’s version of Ultra Magnus from favorite to least favorite??

Thank you! ~

SURE THING- No. 1 WFC Magnus This is the Magnus that made me love the character as much as I do. I loved his short part of the story, his dynamic with Megatron, and his ultimate wish to simply have peace again. I especially loved his belief in Megatron's good heart and his attempts at re-sparking their lost friendship, tragic as it was to see Megatron reject him. The fact that Megatron himself seemed very attached to him and even felt immense guilt added to this. My only complaint is that Ultra Magnus didn't get a moment to talk to Megatron at the end, like Elita and Optimus. Megatron deserved such a moment more than Optimus and I will forever be salty about it- 2. G1 Magnus He's funny, heroic, down to earth, strong, just sweet to see on-screen! ~ I loved his dynamic with Roddy, his personality, and his role in the story!

Can't forget his super sweet rivalry with Cyclonus UvU

He's not that deep since this is G1, but he's everything I'd wish for.

3. RiD01 Magnus He's the outlier-Magnus, the bitchy one, you might say. And I still love him because he's such a fun character and because he brings much needed excitement into the show! He's mean, arrogant, proud, a lone wolf, tsundere, and also gay for sweet bois!

Also, I love that he is Optimus' brother! Adds a lot to Optimus' character as well ~

4. Dreamwave Magnus Couldn't do much with him at first, but it became very clear that his heart was in the right place. He started being a bit of an antagonist at first, especially towards Optimus, his brother, but it was clear that he did what he thought was right.

And then he and Optimus got to finally fight together and save each other's life! Reconciliation! THE GOOD STUFF-

He ultimately aint that high because I found the story in general a little weird and hard to follow. Dreamwave itself wasn't that much of a fun read to me. Magnus was my favourite part honestly.

5. TFP Magnus I don't have much to say about him, honestly. Like his design, like his general personality, but he simply doesn't do enough to make me love him.

6. Headmasters Magnus Sadly, he just doesn't do much apart from establishing a rivalry with Sixshot and then dying 24 episodes later x'D I mean I like both scenes, but its not enough.

7. TFA Magnus Eh? He just aint doing much, less than TFP Magnus. And I'm not a fan of his role in the story. I enjoy Magnus mostly for his second-hand role, and I think he works best when paired with another character. All on his own, he's just meh.

i’ve been working on watching through Beast Wars after watching war for cybertron trilogy and i’m really glad i did wow

kingdom was the best part of wfc trilogy cause stuff, like, actually happens, but it doesn’t really capture what beast wars was about

i tried watching beast wars about 6-7 years ago and was immediately turned off by the animation (and also checked out the entire series from the library for some reason, there was no way i was finishing all that in 2 weeks), but once i got used to it it’s actually really good

only got two episodes left wish me luck (after i’ll check out beast machines which looks like an entire fever dream)

[decepti-thots]

Okie u can ignore this if u want of course but I'd be curious to hear abt why u hated Netflix WFC so much? Bc that seems to be a Super common fan opinion of the series but I don't rlly have any context as to why bc I'm a rlly new TF fan and WFC was actually my first ever TF media (unless u count the 1st Michael Bay movie when I was like 10 or whatever lol). And tbh I ended up rlly liking the netflix trilogy! But I have a feeling that's bc its literally the first thing I ever saw lmao. Thanks <3

Hey, first off, welcome to the fandom anon, since that wasn't that long ago and all! I hope you have a great time with us in Robot Hell TM! :)

Secondly, my dislike of WFC is definitely in part that WFC just... isn't really 'for me', I'll be honest. Like literally, I'm not the target demographic they had in mind for this show. Which probably sounds kind of weird, because WFC definitely targeted a) adult fans and b) people who are Nerdy TM about TF, both of which are me. However, when it comes to TF cartoons, I'm like... here for the kid stuff. I really like when TF, at least on television, is for kids first and foremost! So that element already just personally didn't vibe with me, and that's really a subjective thing.

In terms of why I really disliked it rather than just going 'eh', it's... mostly the pacing. Honestly. It's a much slower paced series than I really enjoy, and I felt like if they had halved the run time per series, or maybe even done it as three 'TV movie' style specials, it would have worked a lot better. Now, a lot of people can look past that, which is cool! However, as someone who almost never watches TV series because they take too much of my time, pacing is like, one of THE biggest dealbreakers for me in any show, so again, that's as much a me thing as anything else, haha.

I honestly can't really speak to the overall 'quality' of the show because the above means that all I really bothered with were 2 episodes of the first series, 1 episode and a couple sporadic scenes of the second, and... I think the same for the third. IDK. Not my bag! When I bounce off something I just go watch something else, haha, life is short.

(Still want the Ratchet stuff from s1 to come back somewhere though. Neutral Ratchet... that was a REAL nice idea.)

Also, just wanna say, it can sometimes suck to love something it feels like most of the fandom hates, but there's definitely other WFC fans out there. I promise not everyone hates it, anon, haha. I don't think you're 'missing' anything, you just like something some other people don't. (As someone who insists the Unicron Trilogy is mostly fun ACTUALLY, FANDOM, trust me, I can relate!)

Transformers Siege (WFC) character review!(2/2)

Red Alert!!;

He was more involved with Elita’s team towards the end of season two. I wasn’t gonna talk about him, but looking back- Red Alert is not only a FINE piece of ass, not only does he get a good one liner involving his own name, but this dude just fucks. Like he's got that vibe. 7/10 for sexy doctor vibes and contributing to shit to the team.

Ultra Magnus!!;

Okay, Ultra Magnus kinda swapped roles in the same way Skyfire does. As in, his relationship with Megatron is a LOT like Optimus’s and Megatron’s relationship in tfp. As in, Ultra Magnus still cares for Megatron so much, he becomes Megatron’s prisoner, and even refuses to shoot him. He’s stubborn, but in a noble sense. 7/10, because he gave Megatron such a middle finger before he died, and I love it when a character does that.

Sound Blaster!!;

This dude was in ONE episode. And I loved him in it. You kidding? Big boss dude that has a Soundwave complex from being one of his clones? Loved him. Good colors, pretty good voice, and I kinda wished he was a recurring bad guy, because mob boss characters just fucking get to me. 7/10.

Peg leg!!;

Not his official name, and he’s a minor character. But I still wanna talk about him, because of the ark he plays in Megatron’s story. To cut it short, Peg Leg was a bot who worked at one of the power plants for Megatron, and he was SO devoted to him. Like he REALLY felt the cause with him, felt as if Megatron was some sort of savior to him. Seriously, this episode, this CHARACTER, gave me so much angst, it really, REALLY hurt to see him essentially be killed off for Megatron’s plan. He’s cute, I love him, he’s IMPORTANT to Megatron’s story, 8/10, still not fucking over it.

Skylynx!!;

Another character that only came out in one episode, I still wanted to address him and his ark for Optimus. He wanted to carry the Matrix, but because he was acting the hell up, Alpha Trion sent him to unspace, where he spent who knows how long reflecting on his actions. Because of this, he was able to help Optimus think, reflect, and make his way out of unspace in order to find the allspark. The episode in question was honestly kinda huge for Optimus, and I really appreciate a proud character being made to be so humble for this situation. 7/10.

Dinobot!!;

The guy we were ALL fucking excited about when he was teased at the end of season 2. This dinobot, instead of switching sides like in beast wars, stayed primarily with the predacons, up until his dying moments, and they handled his process in a very unique, and kinda fascinating way. They had Airrazor sort of talk to him about making his own choices, and I really appreciated that. I think my only complaint about his character is the fact that unless you’ve seen beast wars, you can’t fully appreciate this character as much. His VA is a bit different (not that it’s bad, I just miss the snarling), and his ending, while it did do something to me, wasn’t NEARLY as powerful as the beast wars version. At least they didn’t revive him in this one, I’ll give them props for that. 7/10. Not bad, but I prefer beast wars by a landslide (though DAMN they make him look good in this show).

Blackarachnia!!;

Sneaky fem fatale gone LESBIAN on our asses. Seriously, girl comes off as almost SCARED of hetero relationships, and while I did ship Blackarachnia and Silverbolt back in the day, I REALLY appreciate seeing her not only calling Arcee cute, but SMOOCHING Airrazor. Tigatron’s gf now has a gf, and everyone is okay with this. We love it, she’s sneaky, she’s gay, she’s kinky, and we WISH we could look as she does. 10/10, LOVE watching her on screen, and I wished she could smooch on the lips like she deserves.

question for the transformers fandom

Why aren’t there more crossovers fan fictions between the shows? 

like WHY? In my 3 years in this fandom I have only found 2! TWO AND THIS FANDOM IS LIKE 30 YEARS OLD!! WHERE IS THE CROSSOVER FAN FICTION? 

I mean, cyberverse LITERALLY had an episode where they met Autobots form another reality and you are really telling me, (who just jumped back into the fandom), that that episode aired a year ago and that there's is not A SINGLE FIC were those other Autobots  they met are the team from TF: Animated? or TFP?? OR WFC?? Even Beast Wars or G1?? 

like... Do I have to write it myself? 

I mean, not even a shatter glass crossover for that episode, and Shatter Glass seems to be a really popular thing. 

Like, am I really the only one that loses sleep thinking about the interactions between TF: Animated team and the Autobot team in WFC? 

Am I the only one that NEEDS to see Tf: Cyberverse Wheeljack and Skockwave interacting with their Prime versions? 

I NEED whatever version of Chromia to meet TFP Arcee, and the Cyberverse Arcee to meet TFP Arcee. 

I really want Bee-Verse Bumblebee to meet G1 Bumblebee? idk why... I need them. Or RCA Bumblebee to met with TPF Bee, but that is more time-travel thing which is also rare to find.

But to be honest, the fact that there is not a single fic where baby Ratchet (A.K.A Cyberverse Ratchet) and grandpa Ratchet (A.K.A Animated)  met each other is a sin to this fandom. 

I said what I said,

This franchise has too many continuities and we don’t mix them up enough.

Another TF observation that caught my fancy was a revelation during a recent Con this past weekend where it was revealed a pitch for a Legacy adaption does exist! However it was passed by Netflix, which leads me to wonder of the War For Cybertron trilogy actually performed all that well. I hear Kingdom did poorly, and I’ve wondered how much of that was people getting fed up with WFC’s nonsense or sheer rejection of the Beast Wars aspect of it because “Ew, Beast Wars” and/or “Ew, they RUINED Beast Wars.”

Still the observation it was passed by Netflix specifically is interesting. I’m assuming despite it all Hasbro was ok with the pitch, so maybe they’re considering other options on where to take it later? (Feels like a no brainer, if it actually gets made, they’ll just dump it on Paramount+ anyway.)

Pry a safe assumption to explain all the crossover stuff this time, it’s Unicron making another attempt at… whatever it was he was doing in WFC, causing Prime characters among others to leak into the WFC universe, with Optimus and Megatron reuniting post war to put a stop to Unicron’s nonsense. Also the return of Nemesis and Galvatron in whatever they’ve been reformatted into for round 2. I heard a theory the forms might’ve been Laser Rod Prime and Dragon Megatron since their toys are in Legacy (the later is a rumor but still, where do you go from Galvatron anyway? No Battlestars doesn’t count in this case).

I want to be clear I have no desire for more of DeSanto’s grungy, Uber dark for darkness’ sake, slow mush mouthed nonsense and I’m actually quite pleased Netflix turned them down.

Separate tangent, but this is why I don’t get why people say the Cyberverse staff should take over, because WFC had some of the same people and some of the worst episodes were written by CV staff. I don’t think this would really change anything, beyond being a wee bit chipper maybe?

So for now we seem to be spared from a DeSanto brand version of Legacy, though I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest of it came to fruition on Paramount+ during the second phase of Legacy (whatever that winds up being).

Plus, we’ve seen Beast Wars fans agonize over the rubbish characterizations and voice acting, i can only cower in fear at just what horrible decisions would be made to rile up Prime fans if Knock Out and Arcee are done poorly (and killed pathetically).
