i think we all are under appreciating just how dumb the rescue bots were. like yeah they’re really good at their jobs but they were plain useless for almost everything else.
heatwave deadass could not even read a math problem. like he for real held the book upside down and tried to read it out loud like that. he even said the words "upside down two" and didn't get what the issue was. graham had to flip the book over for him to get it.
blades suggested retractable buildings as a way to stop humans from getting stuck on top of buildings. boulder had to point out that if those were a thing they’d crush everyone inside. he also claimed the earth holiday with the "lit up tree" is arbor day.
chase became mayor. he sucked. single-handedly he almost blew up all of griffin rock because of his bad decisions and he also lost the keys to all the public spaces. he quit on his first day and everyone cheered because he was that bad.
boulder decided to break into a zoo at night to surprise the team with a pet. his second suggestion after realizing he couldn't use his electronic scan to open the cage was to shut the power off. and cybertron definitely had pets so he has no excuses here.
my point is the rescue bots are so incredibly stupid and that's why everyone loves them and treats them like very small children.

So blah blah blah Cybertronian Taxonomy breakthrough: there's actually quite a few similarities between Insecticons and Predacons. From the beastmode, the presence of mandibles, being unable to talk in their altmode (which is a difference as compared to dinobots and the main TF species, which can talk in their altmode typically) there's connections. Remember my little taxonomy chart that i posted and wasn't sure where to put the Insecticons. Now is when we argue: are Insecticons the sort of modern descendant of Predacons, do they share a particularly significant common ancestor, is it the other way around where the predacons are an extinct branch off of the Insecticons? Is it a case of convergent evolution that occured thanks to the extinction of the Predacons, leaving open a niche for the insecticons to more or less take over the role of some sentient Cybertronian wildlife? Especially since, at least in TFP, the predacons' root modes are more like the typical Cybertronus cybertronii while the Insecticons' have significant differences from the other Cybertronian species we know.
also i am still super fuzzy on where to place the non sentient life that we know existed on Cybertron, such as scraplets, turbofoxes, ect.

Earthspark dissatisfaction: Quintus Prime
What is this downgrade?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is one of the primordial Transformers. The freakishness gives the overwhelming feeling of Quintus being a divine entity in Cybertronian belief. In Earthspark's case, he's the Terrans' Prima.
I can't look at bald Quintus without laughing. Give his extra arms and tentacles back
Edit: I understand that animating the tentacles will be a massive pain but the final design didn't need to remove his recognizable features entirely.

i have come up with a new, extremely self indulgent AU for tfrb:
basically what happens is each individual character in tfp accidentally finds out about the rescue bots, whether it's through a ground bridge mishap, an intel scouting mission, even a situation where they get rescued.
this starts out with mostly autobots, because i assume griffin rock is either in autobot territory or a neutral/unclaimed area (or it's off the grid and nobody knows about it) (i think the last one is the funniest), but the decepticons also learn about them eventually.
now. here's where the funny/self indulgent part begins. none of them know anyone else knows. the autobots AND decepticons all assume they're the only one who knows about these bots, and that the team has been trying to live a normal, calm life away from the war.
team prime doesn't know optimus and bumblebee already know, and the decepticons don't know that these guys have connections to the war. and of course, the rescue bots always manage to worm their way into every. single. bot's. spark. all of them individually grow to care about the rescue bots, and independently decide to keep them secret. nobody wants their new friends to get hurt!
anyways shenanigans of course ensue because it's very hard to keep a previously extinct group a secret from all of your friends, and since everybody knows but doesn't know everybody knows it becomes a lot of ridiculous sneaking around and badly lying to everyone.
the rescue bots are SUPER confused by all these bots who keep showing up, but they pretty much just assume that someone spilled their secret and everyone after are all showing up to meet them. eventually i think they would start to figure everything out, but they don't fully comprehend that everyone has been trying to hide them from each other until some big reveal happens.
the way this pans out is probably the end of the war honestly, because again; no one wants these guys to get hurt, physically or emotionally, and if that means having a ceasefire so be it.
#tfrb#rescue bots#transformers rescue bots#transformers aligned#tf aligned continuity#aligned continuity#tfp#transformers prime#i just think it would be funny#in my mind everyone would be trying to internally justify keeping this secret bc all the war bots are kinda out of touch w their feelings#and don't want to admit they're soft for the rescue bots#so it leads to many identity crises#they're all like “oh they could be useful in the future i don't wanna reveal this info to quickly”#or “maybe they can give our side an upper hand and if i spill they could get found and persuaded to the other side”#some specific cases i like to imagine:#shockwave would have a rly hard time trying to logic his way into keeping their secret#he can't admit he wants to help them so he just pretends he wants to experiment on them and study their abilities#which he does want but he also cares abt them#ratchet isn't the softie type so the feelings he has towards the rescue bots really off put him#he also feels bad about not telling optimus but really doesn't want to involve the rescue bots#megatron is completely in denial#he claims to want the rescue bots as a tool to eventually win the war and rebuild cybertron#but he never can bring himself to actually use them#soundwave. just any interaction between the guy who doesn't talk and a team full of the biggest gossips ever.#i love the rescue bots so much and since it's canon that everyone who knows them does as well i've decided they have irresistible charm

Cybertronian Sorcery: A Lost Art
⚠️This is a Personal Headcanon, using lore from TFP, Bay's Last Knight movie, Quintessa [TLK] and personal Ideas and HCs ⚠️
In the early times of Cybertron, it was fabled that there existed an order of what most stories would call mages, sorcerers and sorceressess.
These mages were spinners of Energon, weavers of divine energies, a gift of Primus by which they could not only reshape reality around them, but also see beyond it.
It was said that Primus had blessed them with power directly from the AllSpark. So that they might see not just their own world, but those beyond. Worlds past, current, and yet to be, worlds alternate to theirs, similar and more.
Each wielded a relic which carried a portion of their Spark, and a portion of their power, a Focus by which they could reshape the world as they saw fit.
In the first Eras, they were key to the reshaping of their world, of crafting the landscapes, the wildlife and even at first, the very inhabitants of the planet.
Tumblr media
There was no limit to the extent of transformation by which they too could go through, able to adapt to what was necessary. Forms smaller, bigger, agile, stronger, or more.
This art, of weaving reality around them, was also a target on their backs as time came, and the ages of conquest began.
Used as soldiers, medics and more, their numbers dwindled, slowly but surely. That by the time these conquests and crusades ended, there were only a few hundred left, in comparison to the once hundred thousands in their ranks.
After which, came the Hunts.
As tensions rose in Cybertron, with the change of politics, religion and more, the Mages were persecuted, seen as not blessed guardians, oracles or shapers of the world.
Instead, they were now seen as vile witches who could do as they pleased, able to instead warp reality on a whim and no one would be none the wiser.
It is said that none survived, the relics they once weilded now on display in the restricted section of the Iacon archives, where they remain heavily monitored.
But there are whispers that their teachings remain shrouded in myth, found within storybooks and folktales, some argue that they never existed, and were a mere ghost story, the relics on display entirely replicas to fulfill these stories.
But none can truly say for sure.
But what all can agree, that the power they did use, was one to be feared and respected.

Friendos i did NOT KNOW THE ORION ARC HAPPENED OVER SEVERAL MONTHS
How- how many months? actually this is making me question how much time passed from s1e1 all the ways to the predacon rising special (not to mention how much time from beginning of rescue bots to end of rescue bots academy— I'm just a freak when it comes to timelines okay dokay)
Wow, that's a long time for someone to temporarily lose their memory. No wonder debriefing was difficult for Fowler.

I was going over Soundwave’s appearances in the Aligned novels for the umpteenth time, and I finally noticed something that seems to confirm he has a face beneath the visor, or at least has optics:
He [Soundwave] kept in touch with the two Minicons via a direct videolink that played as if on the interior of his own optics.
— Transformers: Exodus by Alexander C. Irvine
Tumblr media
He’s got SOMETHING back there.
