I genuinely dont really know what's controversial or not in the community bc I haven't been here for very long and my interactions are superficial at best, But. hmm.

The fandomification of IDW optimus is a bit sad because by all means he is a POS. like an absolute shit guy. There are certain dynamics in IDW that do not work the same as in IDW2 or in G1 but said dynamics are still implemented anyway, and it takes from the interest of the dynamics, undermines them in such an explicit way that it makes it quite tiring to see.

For example, IDW OP and Hot Rod/Rodimus would not have the same dynamic as in g1. I frankly haven't gotten to that part in g1 to even say that the father/son dynamic portrayed by fanom is inherently valid, but IDW OP and Hot Rod are just, commanding officer and his subordinate.

Hot Rod looks up to him, sure, but that devalues from the fact OP caught him in his most vulnerable moment. It takes apart a dynamic of ideal idolization that is unhealthy at its core and turns it into a father/son dynamic that by no means exist, even in subtext. Optimus is distant, and a dynamic that would entail traditional family roles would only indicate for the absent father and the reckless child.

I think the same applies for Bumblebee. He really isn't OP's "son", not in IDW, he's just a scout op dotes on. And that's just as good a dynamic as any, its nice to explore things beyond traditionality.

Since im on the topic already, I'll also say that the case is similar with ROTB OP and bee/mirage. The movie quite literally tells you by a direct comparison that OP is much more like a big brother (and above all else, a commander) to those two than anything else. Noah and Op are supposed to mirror each other, with Mirage being that bridge that connects their humanity, as being a bot that both care about, even when showing clear annoyance.

I think a lot of people (outside tf too, especially) tend to get found family and assign traditional family roles to each, when that takes from the appeal of the found family trope. When this is something so present and persistent throughout all of transformers media it gets a little upsetting to see the fathers/sons/daughters dynamics flaunted around. Not to say I dislike them and won't endulge, and not to say I don't find them fun, it just gets overbearing after a while

                                               riddle rosehearts 

Riddle always had kept an eye on his precious child, his child was a sweet one who got the childhood he wanted long ago. It was a sweet gesture to see Riddle dote on his lovely child, playing on a gadget or a sport on the outside.

He was a sweet father, new and jumpy to each step he took in this new life. Everyone can see how dearly he loved his child, and he made sure that his child knew that too.

Halloween came up, the spooky month has now come up, it was his child’s favorite holiday. At first, he couldn’t stand the bizarre and grotesque Halloween quirks, but now his child introduced and he celebrates it with them yearly.

Each year, they dress up in different costumes and play different games for them to enjoy and goof around. After all, Riddle wanted his child to experience a happier childhood.

Now, since his child grew up to be really tech savvy, they wanted to play a new game they have discovered while browsing  the net. It was Among Us, and it looked like a nifty game. The only thing Riddle disapproved of was the killing aspect, other than that, he found the game quite fun.

It made his analytical skills and lying skills sharper, making him the reliable player. While his child was a step down from him, was still a good player nonetheless,

While playing the game, a corpse was reported, their child went bright and got this crazy idea : to be the murdered crewmate for Halloween and Riddle could be the impostor.

Riddle freaked out, questioned his child’s mental health, and gave a pep talk. You see, he can only process the words “murdered” “I want”, so he worried his child was feeling negative feelings.

For weeks on end, Riddle gave a talk to them, even if their child just grew clueless to his insistent questioning on their choice of costume.

Needless to say, he didn’t went along the costume part. But he did treat them a nice tart curtesy of Trey’s family bakery.

                        leona kingscholar 

Truth be told, he did not know what to do, he has no idea what to do with his own kid. He felt lost on how to raise the kid. Seriously, he endured a lot.

Even though that was the case, he was a wonderful father, always protective and caring.

He tries to put effort into his kid, after all, it was someone who he adored so much. It was only fair, he brought himself on this. And his effort clearly shows.

Leona's kid is a shining ball of energy, always on their feet, excited on each holiday. Heck, even days that are considered mundane, they would jump up and down. Clearly, they didn't get the lazy gene.

Speaking of holidays, his child was ALWAYS jumping and cheering when the days leading up to October are nearing. The Afterglow Savannah will be hearing "ITS OCTOBERRRR!!" from the palace.

Leona's kid is not a techy kid, their classmates are. They would peek over their shoulder and look at the blaring lights.

Every other month, their child has to bring their parents for a conference meeting. Leona grumbles, but stood on his feet to go to the conference. His kid was jumping and leaping in joy, that he introduced him to their friends.

One time, they received a tablet (with permission from Leona to let them play) from one kid, to play along their game! It was Among Us, and he beamed at the sight of the tablet.

Leona was monitoring his kid, he knew nothing of the game, but it was amusing to see his kid giggle alongside others. While the conference ended, they weren't done with the game. He nodded at his kid, waiting for the game to end.

As soon as they game was done, they went back to prepare for Halloween! His kid always liked the costumes! So, along the way, he asked his kid what they want.

"I WANT TO BE THE MURDERED CREWMATE!"

Cue, his shocked and scared face. The look of the passerbys made him laugh awkwardly and ask his kid what the heck were they talking about.

They laughed and explained the idea, making Leona grimace as he let his kid be exposed to that. But he let them have the fun, all for the smile.

azul ashengrotto

Azul was a good father, always on his kid's side, smiling and being a strong figure that they can look up to. He matured into a nice man, he is far from his college student self.

He smiles and always has his child on his mind, they are his most precious pearl, and anything bad that would happen to them would utterly break his fragile heart.

He is always weary of something bad to happen, be it bullying, or just traumatic nightmares. He hates the thought of it happening to his child, so he may come a tad bit overbearing.

Now, his child and him goes to land often, mostly to manage Azul’s restaurant, so it was a treat for both of them. Idia also drops in to meet up with his old pal, so he leaves his child with Idia’s as well to bond over a phone or tablet. Those hangouts become a regular thing!

Azul’s child always hangs out with Idia’s kid, they click instantly, so Azul’s child is more techy and more land dweller than their own father.

So most of the child’s slang and upbringing was on land. Now that is established, you can tell why they most like Halloween.

This year, they [Azul’s child] want to dress up and act all spooky to attract any of their age or just to vibe with others. And they decided, alongside Idia’s kid, he wants to partner cosplay as the murdered crewmate from the hit game they played together.

They pitch the idea to Azul, which made him gawk and question sheepishly if they are in need of medical help or anything. He got so scared that they want to be murdered, to which confused the child and asked why is their costume choice weird?

Azul decides to just go with it, he had to be reassured many times that they are mentally okay and will be for a long time. He hopes for the best, and smiles softly at their giddy look on the costume approval

                            kalim al-asim

Kalim is probably the bigger child between his and his child. They compete on who is more childish

But he is s responsible enough to take care of his child, Jamil and his family members can see that. Kalim matured but you can still see the sweet Kalim Al-Asim of Night Raven College.

In all honesty, his child loves Halloween just as much as he does! So the Land of Hot Sands gets a huge Halloween costume party for a whole week due to his child's enthusiasm for it!

The costume party is grand and always has laughter, and it also has festive beats and treats to enjoy.

Every year, his child has a different costume that is their choice and their father is always happy to commission a nice costume for them.

Unlike their father, they always have been up to date with the internet and trends. From Magicam to games, they know it all!

Now, the party was fast approaching, all the preparation was there, and Kalim was now just easing in after a few more touches. All he need is the costume for both him and his child.

He was about to ask when said child went booming to the doors, a wild and cute smile on their face. Kalim chuckled and asked if they was something they want.

"Father! I want to be the Murdered Crewmate this Halloween!"

Cue his tears, he was scared on why his child wanted to be murdered and pawed their face to see if they were okay and emotionally well.

It took a lot of hours to calm him down and warm up to the idea of their costumes

vil schoenheit

Now, Vil's child is a tad bit sweeter and more approachable than their own father. They carry his features and some traits, but they differ a lot.

At a young age, he was forced to hide from the world a lot, considering their father wanted them to have a nice and normal childhood.

However, the secret got out and it was soon known to the entire world that Vil Schoenheit has a kid, and a wonderful one at that.

Vil's child is really updated on the media, thanks to their father's influence, but their time on it was restricted a lot.

However, they do have ample time to test the waters, and see what is trending or not!

What caught their eyes was the wonderful game that their favorite streamers played! It was quirky, and fun, so they had check it out and play.

In summary, it was a wonderful experience, so they had to tell their sweet papa!

Vil is ecstatic to hear his sweet kid go and squeal to him, telling him that... They want to be murdered?!

He nearly fainted, and ask worriedly on what on Earth were they talking about. In the end, the social media time was even more strict!

Also, he didn't approve of the costume, but he did approve of the alive and well crewmate.

idia shroud

Idia is surprisingly good with his kid, he thought he would fail as a dad but he proved himself wrong. His child was not like him, but that makes him smile, it means they are confident and willing to be themselves.

Their kid always mingles and always hangs out with Ortho, so he always is monitored. Idia also is shocked to see how confident they are, he is sure proud that they are the young master of the house.

Though, their kid loves the outdoors, nothing beats good old pa and his codes and video games.

Because of this, the worldwide famous game : Among Us, was introduced to them during their browsing! It was good bonding time.

Their kid won't admit this, but they love cosplaying. From dad's favorite anime, to their favorite cartoon games— he loved all the dynamic.

Now, because of this, his family decided to hold a costume ball (to introduce Idia's kid as the young master), and while Idia hates parties— he had to introduce his pride and joy.

So, he asked his son what would they like for their costume. He has the money to make it in short time, and he also just wants to partner up with his kid.

"Papa! I want to be the Murdered Crewmate!"

Idia laughs and pat their head, of course they would want to be one of the little gremlins from that game.

The murdered one was a classic, so why not? They live in the Underworld! They can pull this off.

malleus draconia

He is good with kids, after all, he had Silver to take care of before. So, it wasn't a surprise that his child is wonderful and well rounded.

Malleus' child is his heir, so they are fairly sheltered and kept in the palace a lot, due to this; their time is fairly well spent on technology or lessons.

Malleus tries to bond with his heir, and tries hard to not pressure them on their studies as heir or the events that requires their presence. All he wants is them to be happy.

Because of this, he got exposed to the game Among Us. Malleus sucks at the game, but he adores the squeals, the giggles and groans of defeat when they play together.

Malleus is always lost on the game, so it was an absolute laugh to all of them.

One day, Malleus and his retainers asked that they should hold a festive season in the kingdom, just like what they did during NRC days. All were ecstatic, especially Malleus' child!

The child wanted a costume party, so a costume party it was! As Malleus and his child plan the party, a royal tailor asked them what is their costumes and plans.

The child squealed and beamed, saying they want the Murdered Crewmate costume. The tailor, who was fairly young and updated, nodded and took notes. While Malleus stood there, horrified that his kid wants to be murdered.

The kid giggled and hugged their tall father, saying that "I don't wanna die, Papa! Remember the game we played? It's that!"

Cue relief and embarrassed face Malleus, he just nearly died of a heart attack because of the rascal.

He picked them up and smiled at their loud and cute giggles.
