Things that I think some people forget are canon in the IDW universe, or think are just fanon
The usage of “frag”, “slag”, and “scrap” as cuss words
Lovers (conjunx endurae) being called “sparkmates”
Queer-platonic relationships (amica endurae)
While Megatron and Optimus are seen as very old, they are not. Megatron is five million years old, and OP stated that Megatron is a little older than him. Bots older than them include but are certainly not limited to: Rung, Whirl, Ironhide, Kup, Ratchet, Cyclonus, Tailgate, Rewind, Red Alert and Minimus Ambus/Ultra Magnus
Starscream was a representative in the Senate
Camiens laud those who have carried the Matrix as gods; they would view Rodimus just as they do Optimus
Young Cybertronians being called “sparklings”
Rodimus spent three days trying to program his holomatter avatar to have a sweatband
Before becoming Optimus Prime, Orion Pax was close friends with Megatron. He read and quoted Megatron’s Towards Peace and was even unsure if he was on “the right side”
Whirl likes French films
Rodimus is 4.2 million years old - only 800k years younger than Megatron
Mecha from Caminus have different spark frequencies than that of normal Cybertronians, causing their energon to be blue rather than pink
Megatron and Impactor worked together in the mines and were best friends
Cyclonus was on the Ark-1
Alcoholic beverages (engex)
Rodimus, Whirl, Skids, Swerve, Tailgate, and Ultra Magnus have all customized their holomatter avatars
Soundwave and Drift both grew up in the gutters of Rodion and were taken in by Megatron
There’s a mech on the Lost Light named Toaster, who turns into a toaster
Whirl was alt-mode exempt and a watchmaker of sorts. After the Empurata procedure, he changed his name (Whirl was not his original name), frame, and started hanging out in Rodion’s gutters, where Drift and Soundwave lived. He then became a prison guard and beat up Megatron, causing the latter to be pushed over the edge and start the war
Nautica is the exact picture of Pipes’ Dream Conjunx, but he died before getting the chance to meet her
Rodimus, formerly Hot Rod, grew up in the streets of Nyon and took care of other homeless people, and was approached directly by Megatron, who was hoping to recruit
Before becoming Rodimus, Hot Rod was about Rung’s size
Certain Decepticons in high standing with Megatron had special ceremonies performed by one of the Warriors Elite or Megatron himself in which the chosen Decepticon would have a piece of their spark casing removed and forged into their Badge
On both sides of the war, some mecha had real, physical badges, while others were simply painted on
Megatron is a forged spark in a cold-constructed body
Shockwave was a senator, and ran an academy for outliers (which Skids, Trailbreaker/Trailcutter, and Damus/Glitch, who would later become Tarn). He and Orion Pax (who was later to become Optimus Prime) were close friends
Mecha saying “I could hug you!”
Drift is filthy rich for a reason undisclosed
Rodimus and Swerve are both religious, just not obnoxiously so
Orion Pax had his insides rearranged by Shockwave’s techs to make a hole in his chassis - unbeknownst to him, Shockwave was doing this to MANY mechs to make it possible for them to carry the Matrix of Leadership. Had it not been for the hole created by Shockwave, Orion Pax would have never been able to become Optimus Prime
Even then, it hurt Orion Pax when the Matrix bonded with him and made him into Optimus Prime - when the Matrix bonded with Hot Rod and made him into Rodimus Prime, it felt good and right
Even by Cybertronian standards, Prowl is considered “heavy”
Chromedome was still able to lift him over his head and throw him off a cliff
Rodimus (Hot Rod at the time) broke into Styx, one of the most high-security Decepticon-owned prisons to ever exist, to break out Dealer, a former member of his unit (who then promptly betrayed him)
Chromedome and Brainstorm worked for The Institute, which was responsible for mind-wiping, Shadowplay, and Empurata
Drift joined the Decepticons at the very beginning of the war and only became an Autobot near the tail end of the war, less than a century before its close (He became an Autobot after meeting Wing, and then pretty quickly became a Wrecker and went to Earth in a time period likely to be the 80s or 90s). For nearly all of the 4 million years the war went on, he was Deadlock, amongst the most horrifying Decepticons out there, and was favored by Megatron enough that the warlord sent his most notorious bounty hunter out to go find him even after Deadlock had betrayed his superior officer’s orders and went rogue
Megatron never got an Autobot badge of his own; he still wears Bumblebee’s
Feel free to add your own!

Can we get platonic cuddle time from TFP Soundwave? Just him and his human amica endura enjoying each other’s company if possible >///<
Of course my dear!
Platonic Cuddles with SoundWave and his Human amica endura
SoundWave isn’t an overly cuddly bot to being with, but by Con standards he’s still probably the second most cuddly bot on the ship
He cares deeply about you and because he can’t communicate with you like other he can with other bots he emotes more physically around you, including cuddling
Honestly after dealing with Megatron, StarScream and Knockout all day spending a few hours quietly cuddling with his favorite human is a perfect way to relax
He loves hearing about your day, week, or whatever honestly he just likes hearing you talk
venting is included by the way, honestly just tell him everything, he dose offer to help on occasion if he feels he can
More then once has fallen into recharge while cuddling he’s just so relaxed around you and so exhausted from dealing with the rest of the cons he can’t help it!
Sorry it’s not longer dear! Still getting back into the swing of things

Hiii there, How are you? Question: this blog still active?
Hello Dear Anon, I am…well I guess that leads into your question.
Short answer is Yes
This blog is still active just on a  hiatus for longer then I expected, because I’m taking an animation class and it’s been honestly harder then I thought it would, physically and mentally.
The long answer is:
Honestly my brain is so deep in animation I can’t scrounge up any decent ideas for answering asks, which I thank my followers for making sure my box isn’t empty. But the last thing I want to do is give someone who put the time in to ask a half job on the answer; so I’ve been slowly and inconsistently trying to chip away at them, i apologize that they’ve taken so long.
As far as physically I believe I’ve mentioned in an older post that my hands are messed up; like I need to wear arm/hand braces to sleep and to even work on my projects for class, it’s even hard to type some days actually.
That combined with normal crazy life stuff has made it difficult to come back and give this blog the attention I want to, but make no mistake! I am not gone and will be getting back to this blog!

You know, the fact the IDW is the only tf thing we are going to have in 2022, added to the fact the IDW’s licence with tf ends in may, makes me really scared of what Hasbro is going to do with the show that is currently in development.
Best case escenario, they let the show be and develop with time. Worst and I fear most likely case, they rush it and force the developers to make it a sequel to either Cyberverse or WFC trilillogy just to have something airing.
