Was going throught the g1 transformers bibble and found these gems

Tag yourself, I'm Mirage and Bumblebee, Jazz and mostly Skywarp

Edit: since this post got a lot of traction, not to self promote, but feel free to ask me anything :] (explanation: my pinned post)

Edit 2: HOW IS THIS RESURFACING AGAIN

prowl has 0 idea what goes on in protoform development these days

(V.S. = vector sigma)

#my art #transformers animated #tfa #optimus prime tfa #ratchet tfa #prowl tfa #sorry to any1 in the tags seeing this entirely out of context #divorce baby au #technically orbabies but there are no orbs or little guys here #i think a lot about how there could be different views on younger bots born from vs instead of the allspark...even outside of this au #like do older war and pre war bots see them as lesser. or no more than just drones. do the post war bots themselves feel lesser for not #being from the allspark? is there any like way to tell if someone is from the allspark or from vector sigma? its fun for me #i like this kind of thing i have going b/c its like #making normal irl adolescent development happen to alien robots who have no idea what the fuck is going on #sort of. the orb stage is more akin to a fetus than a baby its not a 1:1 but like #the idea of not being born 100% fully functional and mature and complete and being dependent on someone else is so bonkers for them #thats why they put ninjas in charge of all the infants

I’m back with more slightly disturbing thoughts about transformers.

Ok listen.

I think cybertronians should be more freaked out by the fact humans eat other living things.

Like come on, bots only ingest energon which is inanimate crystal juice, they’re regularly grossed out by normal organic functions, and you’re telling me they don’t bat at eye at the idea of their friendly little Sentient companions straight up killing other animals and eating them??? I feel like that should def cause more cognitive dissonance for them, esp autobots since they actually get close to humans.

Like I can see them being grossed out but accepting of the fact that wild animals eat each other- they are WILD animals and all, not exactly sentient or even necessarily intelligent after all. But HUMANS? The organic creatures that are the closest to them (going by tfp standards where they don’t mention many other organic species) in terms of structure and emotion and intelligence?? That has to be concerning on some level to them.

Referencing tfp and MTMTE where they have scraplets and sparkeaters, i feel like that’s what they’d kind of associate it with which would freak them out more. God forbid they hear about how common cannibalism is in survival situations, I don’t even know if they’d be able to sympathize the slightest bit with that considering as far as I know cannibalism Isn’t Really A Thing for them. That’s a thought in of itself tbh, would they be able to reckon with the concept of being so hungry you’d eat people you know, when it’s physically impossible for them to do that? How do you rationalize the choices others make in desperate situations when you know you’d never have to make that choice anyway and you’ll never have their perspective on it?

Anyways, I’m entertained by the idea of them being able to ignore stuff like nuggets or patties considering it doesn’t look recognizable as what it is but being downright repulsed by steaks, especially if its bloody or has bone visible. They don’t like the visual reminders of their sweet little organic friends consuming flesh and blood. Too freaky for them.

#transformers #tfp #mtmte #transformers prime #maccadam #love those things about transformers finding little details about humans to be unsettling #their teeth being flat and boxy #vs some of ours being sharper #made for tearing flesh #they think it’s hilarious seeing a human tear at a Turkey leg like a dog #until they remember that it’s a Turkey’s Leg. like an actual animals dismembered leg #it’s cooked but the realization that they’re gnawing on skin and flesh and bone #all of which humans have #is very sobering #and kind of creepy #actually very creepy #and the more they think about it the worse it gets #I desperately want to wind this into a humanformers post #about them pushing it down until not only do they have to recognize this fact #but they have to go through with it too #😁 fun times for all

[time-is-restored]

do you guys every think abt death vs immortality as a thoroughline in like. literally all of the mechs albums.

old king cole is explicitly warped by immortality (never to forgive he would eternal live, his hands dyed red by gore - can be read a few ways depending on where u place the emphasis, but at the very least communicates that his wrath is facilitated By his immortality), and the olympians commit attrocities in order to hold onto their wealth and the immortality that it grants them (murdering arachne, yanking heracles' chain the second he tries to go freelance, having a monopoly on the acheron etc). the value they put on immortality and living forever, and the fear they have of ever possibly losing it, has completely warped their morals and priorities.

and while it comes up less in tbi, there's still significant emphasis placed on how odin has been in power for a century (both thor + the narrator bring it up, and there's also an emphasis on how long ago the bifrost project was started, and how 'no one left living' can explain its science). her villain monologue in rangarok iv places the extinction of asgard as an honour - a ruin that no one can possibly rebuild from is called 'apotheosis'. and as she says at the end, the idea that no one can possibly outlive her is a key draw for odin. asgard dies with her.

in hnoc, the only really immortal character is brian (and we only really know that bc of knowledge we get from outside the album), but the axis of life and death as a privilege vs a curse is still very present. 'mordred's gift to Arthur could be love in his own eyes / fating him alone to keep the life to which he clings', not only posits that the gift of survival isn't inherently good + kind (which the audience would immediately recognise as love, not possibly love), but places emphasis on the fact that arthur is now utterly alone. the station's death at the hands of mordred is hardly a happy one ('Its people damned, doomed by a man who's lost all his regrets'), but arthur's fate is arguably worse. severed from the finality and closure of death, what does he become? [insert that one cool theory abt hnoc arthur becoming old king cole here]

it's like. on a meta level, the reason we as fans don't put much emphasis on the depravity + cruelty of the mechs is bc the people portraying the mechs are all charismatic + skilled performers. in live gigs they're all portraying the fun side of their characters - roasting each other, bantering with the audience, making fun of the characters they're singing about, referencing off-screen violence - bc if they portrayed their lore too literally they'd be comitting felonies LMAOOO

but narratively, its like. literally every album is a meditation on the ways that the glorification of immortality can ruin civilisations - can ruin galaxies. whether its rooted in the fear of you specifically dying, or of being outlived, or overpowered or forgotten, or if its done for the sake of someone else's survival... it's all corrosive. if u refuse to accept the indisputable impermanence of life, you lose the ability to value it, and u numb urself to the reality of just how fucked up it is to cut another person's life short for any reason.

like. i do think some of the mechs started as good people, and some of them even might still have ethical standards, but i REALLY cannot stop thinking about how fucking. fascinating it is that this group of immortals who are KNOWN for basically considering nothing but how fun and/or violent any given activity will be, have basically filled their entire discography with songs about how their continued existence is corrosive and brings tragedy + ruin wherever they go.

so how self-aware are they? do you think those old morals + ethics still linger in their mind, when they're writing down these tragedies? they willingly self identify as liars + thieves + bastards, etc etc, and they seem to have no trouble identifying the 'bad guys' in the various albums (ie: humanising snow + cinders + rose, but not king cole), but do those concepts actually mean anything emotionally, or even theoretically, for them all beyond their dramatic potential? do they remember their lives before they were mechanised as it actually happened, or do they remember it as lyrics to a song? is it possible to be entirely self aware abt ur own capacity for violence (as jonny in paticular claims to be), if you no longer relate to violence as anything other than a narrative device - a means to an end, whether comedic or dramatic?

#the mechanisms #mechanisms #mechs #its not even that i have a specific passion for super grimdark mechs characterisation #just from a thematic perspective it is SO interesting to have these characters #narrating tragedies who themselves dance in and out of narrative conventions + signifiers of good + evil #and also like. literally transform themSELVES into narratives via backstory fiction + songs #its all so like. was there ever a truth here? if its all been forgotten + replaced with stories? can any of them care about good and evil #anymore on a level beyond how it will make an audience react? #idk. i care them #mine #my writing

soundwave with his 2 lil minbots cassettes and 3 minicons cassettes

A high-ranking decepticon only outranked by Megatron himself, Soundwave is smart, logical, efficient , loyal, and one of the most dangerous decepticons out there, co-leading the decepticons stranded on earth with Starscream. though often he and Startscream are working against each other rather than with each other. Starscream wants to run things differently, while Soundwave wants to continue fallowing Megatron's old orders until they can get back in contact with Cybertron and get new orders from Megatron.

Though Soundwave's dry, monotone way of speaking and efficient way of carrying out tasks might make you think he is not the creative type, he is actually quite the artist, most often expressing himself through music ragging between several different cybertronian music genres.

just the lil guys

"Mind if I make a little music?" Drift asked, holding out a hand for Ratchet to pass him the synthboard.

"Not at all," Ratchet said, offering it up by the strap.

Drift spun it above his head, hands dancing over the board and making a truly awful sounding ruckus out of the speakers. His optics were locked on something behind Ratchet. He took the clue and ducked his head to Drift's chest so that Drift could swing. The speakers screeched and a body fell back."

Unfortunately I can’t kiss the author of this fic, so I decided to do the next closest thing and drew this instead haha

What if starscream did arts and crafts metal flower crown with the terrans and “accidentally” made an extra one perfectly sized for bee and with his colors. And it was totally 100% an extra and he didn’t work super hard on it to be perfect. He totally doesn’t feel “warm and fuzzy” when bumblebee keeps it on while they complain about things to eachother. Not at all. Nope.

Also tiny bumblebee with starscream since my starbee figures are not yet arrived

#rewatching earthspark is giving me many ideas and emotions #like sobbing when I see bumblebee growing as a character #or thinking about bumblebee having insecurities and holding expectations for himself since he’s a complex 3 dimensional character #and the complexity of all the characters actually #anyway I think starbee union because of the terrans would be really interesting #i swear its not just because I always have starbee sitting in the back of my mind #but actually I really would love to see them interact in tfe #it would be really interesting #tfe starscream #tfe bumblebee #starbee #earthspark #starscream #bumblebee #earthspark starscream #earthspark bumblebee #transformers #tfe #maccadam #hanaes scrapheap

much to think about........

#while looking through old fandom posts i saw people joke that smokey looks like their lovechild and i cant unsee it now #i think they would be absent fathers but in the ''being around my kid would put them in danger because of who i am'' kind of way #and when you consider smokey ended up at the iacon hall of records...far away from the real danger... #like i Know in canon they didnt know him when he showed up on earth but. imagine. #if i knew how to write i'd write a fic about this lol #optiratch #smokescreen #transformers #samael.txt #shitpost #<- kinda #''sam are you implying you found out about Those TF fics'' yep! #i did not expect TF of all things to have so many of them. not judging btw i was just surprised
