Hey hey! Just wanted to clarify on that ask from before. I know it seems like a wild concept that people won’t accept Lazerbeak as a drone when there are wilder concepts in your fic XD. However, from my knowledge, a lot of tfp fans watched the multiple videos on yt about Lazerbeak where the person talked about how minicons in the cybertronian society are often overlooked and are thought of as “lesser than” the bigger bots simply because of their appearance. This sentiment struck me and many others because I hated the idea of Lazerbeak being called a “drone” simply because he didn’t act or look like the bigger bots. The minicon racism (if I may call it that) is quite common in the tfp universe and ppl who watched tfp and rid, getting used to being defensive over minicons, might have also felt that it was wrong for Lazerbeak to be a drone. Yk at least that’s what I think is happening based on personal experience. Idk if maybe someone has already explained it but whelp…I might also be overthinking it tbh :3

NEVERTHELESS! I feel like I need to point out that I’m actually super glad that you didn’t know some aspects of the tfp lore because TEG remains the most unique (in the best possibly way) interpretation of Soundwave and the tfp universe that I have ever read. Honestly I absolutely love the idea with the 1st tentacle and how alien Soundwave’s cybertron is in comparison to the “normal cybertron” that tfp fans are used to. I know from experience that knowledge of context might hold back creative thinking and yk context is good but diversions form it can likewise result in something as legendary as your fic:))

Anyways sorry for the long string of text again ⁽ˊ꒳ˋ⁾

yeah no worries, I know about that video. I found out about it after people kept telling me Laserbeak was sentient. I watched it and thought, "yeah... but Rachet does call Laserbeak a drone." which is entirely what I had based my headcanon on. Ratchet's statement preceded that video by, idk, 10 years, possibly?? and in the absence of any other context, I was following what canon literally stated, heh

it just makes me laugh that people's brains reject the drone idea so strongly, as we've already discussed xD I'm not mad or anything when people bring it up =)

and thank you again for the kind words! woo woo 1st tentacle >D
