Transformers Warfare: Magnus (Rank)

The title of Magnus is one worthy of dignity and respect. Often considered to be the second highest rank achievable within the Autobots, just below "Prime", the mere mention of a Magnus on any given battlefield is enough to strike fear in many a Decepticon. To be worthy of such a rank, one needs to be courageous, tough, and compassionate. Many bots have tried to become a Magnus, but few have succeeded.

Known Magni

Ultra Magnus

Possibly the most famous among the Magni is Ultra Magnus, leader of the Wreckers, an elite group of some of the toughest soldiers within the Autobot ranks. Ultra Magnus is one of Optimus Prime's oldest friends, having known each other from the Autobot leaders' days as Orion Pax.

Arcana Magnus

Little is known about this Magnus, aside from her similarity in both color scheme and demeanor towards the Autobot Arcee, leading some to suspect that Arcana is a counterpart to her from an alternate timeline or universe. She is a recluse, preferring to keep hidden on the spider-infested planet of Archa Seven. If this is actually an Arcee counterpart, whatever happened to her to make so unwilling to go against the Decepticons anymore - not to mention her techno-organic spider mode - is a mystery, one few Autobots are willing to uncover.

Leader Magnus

Formerly known as "Leader-1", Leader Magnus is the commander of the Autobot subfaction, The Guardians. The Guardians were originally an Autobot equivalent birthed from a similar Great War on the Cybertronian colony planet of Gobotron, until the planet was destroyed by said warfare and much of the population was decimated. Now a Magnus within the Autobot ranks, Leader looks to keep the rest of his friends alive, and perhaps correct his past mistakes which lead to his home planet's death.

Skyhammer Magnus

One of the few flight capable Autobots who is neither a Triple Changer nor affiliated with the Aerialbots, Skyhammer Magnus is a powerful yet graceful warrior. Although he and his team have spent much time exploring the galaxy, searching for supplies, species to aid, or stray Decepticon outposts to take down, news of Team Prime's location on Earth has drawn them to the planet... just in time too.

Elita-1

Although she doesn't use the Magnus title - Elita Magnus just sounds pretentious - Elita-1 still very much qualifies as one, and is often eager to show Decepticons why that is. Strong and capable, she acts as Optimus Prime's second in command on Earth, having left command of her previous unit to...

Splendid Magnus

Splendid Magnus is a courageous and honorable leader, unafraid to make the hard decisions. Formerly the SIC to Elita-1 in the all-femme attack squad Shield of Solus, Splendid was granted both the rank of Magnus and command of the team when Elita left Cybertron with Optimus.

Delta Magnus

The leader of the Primal Vanguard, Delta Magnus and his team were once some of the best soldiers in the Autobot army. Unfortunately, an attack from the Decepticon Heavy Brigade left a large number of them dead, Delta included. The left over members would reform under the leadership of Grimlock as the Lightning Strike Coalition, then later the Dinobots.

Pyra Magna

Though she doesn't follow conventional naming schemes, Pyra Magna of Caminus is every bit a Magnus as everyone else with the name thanks to her relentlessness and ambition. Much like Splendid Magnus and Elita-1 previously, Pyra leads an all-femme team known as the Torchbearers, which can combine into Victorion. Although the team is more suited for and accustomed to collection and preservation of ancient Cybertronian artifacts, one can always count on Pyra and her "Rust Renegades" to come to their aid, should she hear their cry.

Maximal Magnus

A close friend to the Camien Windblade, Maximal Magnus was a virtuous Autobot of great leadership capabilities. Unfortunately, virtue was not enough to save her from deactivation. When she travelled to Eukaris to negotiate and trade for supplies, she was ambushed by the newly formed Predacons, inspired by the Decepticon Preditron. Maximal Magnus sacrificed her life to save her team and a small group of Eukarians, but in doing so left her team leaderless. However, her sacrifice inspired a new faction to rally up and stop the new threat, using the first half of her name as their moniker. Her group, meanwhile, has found new leadership, though they will never forget their first leader.

The Song of the Stormy Petrel (Maxim Gorky) "A short poem, text can be found here. It describes the storm, vast and careless masses of water, roaring and ruthless skies, and a mighty storm petrel fearlessly taking on both elements. it even dares the tempest to get more intense, as all other oceanic forms of life (seagulls, grebes, a penguin) hide in horror before the face of the storm. stormy petrel in russian (буревестник), if translated literally, means 'the announcer of the storm'. there is a short old cartoon which depicts how this poem would function as a leitner, although the cartoon is very comedic and lighthearted. unfortunately, i wasn't able to find a version with english subtitles, but i think it would be clear just from the visuals"

Of the City of the Saved… (Philip Purser-Hallard) "It's set in a city where every human or descendant of humanity who has ever lived has been reborn all at once, and the book makes sure you understand the scope of that. To pull out a few statistics, the city is the size of a spiral galaxy and has a population of a hundred undecillion - or 1 followed by 38 zeros. There's a watchtower at the city's centre which is the width of a continent and the height of one astronomical unit (the distance of Earth to the sun), and a city council ampitheatre the size of a gas giant. When I think of a book emphasizing physical vastness, I think Of the City of the Saved, because it doesn't just gloss over the size and call it incomprehensible, it makes sure you begin to grasp the scale of things. And that every character in the book is just one person on that scale."

🔥🔥🔥 Maxin @ Astra ( for my crack ty )

Send “🔥?” and my muse will admit whether they find your muse attractive or not. (not accepting)

“No, I really don’t.” 

Would he need to elaborate any further? He sighed. “Maxim is everything I don’t want to have around if I don’t want to lose my appetite for good. I’m thoroughly disgusted by his manners and his mores, and the only reason why I tolerate his presence is because he’s a very much valuable asset whenever we need to clean something. Just the thought of his dirty hands... of the blood...” Astra shuddered. “No, really. I’d rather let my commanders take care of any business with him. I have no appeals for this man.”

Yes I have a fic due in a couple days for an exchange that I need to write at least 100 more words for just to make sure the plot works. Yes, I’m nominating for the AUExchange even though it’d require me to write a fic twice as long and I probably don’t have the time for it. We exist.

This came to me while ask were closed, but now they are open :)

Okay, okay, I know this is a stretch, but hear me out. Let's say Buddy is a young maximal (I'm thinking leopard) who somehow escaped their universe and ended up on lost light. How would the lost light crew react? (I think this buddy would be an ankle biter for funsies)

Back into Beast wars! Lets go!

Hope you enjoy!

Bot Buddy the Maximal getting sent to the Lost Light

SFW, Platonic, Cybertronain reader

BW/MTMTE

Buddy has a leopard alt mode.

They are Cheetor’s Amica

Buddy had been with the Maximals since the very beginning.

From busting Predacon behind or busting their own helm into a tree in one of Cheetor’s pranks.

Being Cheetor’s Amica can do that to you.

This evening seemed to be going as normally as it could.

Maximal’s vs Predacons.

Good vs bad.

The battle was going to the Maximal’s favor.

Buddy had just finished off Inferno when they saw something in the distance.

Tarantulas aiming a weird looking gun at their Amica.

Buddy sprinted in their leopard mode to Cheetor.

“CHEETOR! CHEETOR LOOK OUT! GET OUT OF THE WAY!”--Buddy

Cheetor turns as Tarantulas fired the weapon.

He froze in his place.

Buddy leaped in front of Cheetor taking the hit.

A blinding light surrounded them and vanished into thin air.

Cheetor looks in horror at the spot where his Amica was.

The rest of the fighting had stopped when they saw the light.

“Interesting… it wasn’t supposed to do that.”--Tarantulas

Cheetor turns in anger to the Predacon

“WHAT DID YOU DO!”--Cheetor

Transforming into his beast mode Cheetor is ready to maw the Predacon.

Optimus Primal holds him back as he thrashes around.

“Maximal’s fall back!”--Optimus

“Fall back?! No! Buddy needs us! Buddy needs me! We can’t just—”--Cheetor

“Cheetor right now we need to make it back to the base alive. We can worry about Buddy when we are safe.”--Optimus

“Buddy’s not safe!”--Cheetor

“If Buddy is dead do you want to make their act in vain?!”--Dinobot

Cheetor tenses up in Primal’s arms letting him be carried to the base.

Buddy’s helm is pounding and feels someone picking them up by the scruff of their neck.

Rodimus is just confused.

One minute he was walking away from one of Magnus’s boring meetings when this fur ball hit him in the helm.

He wants answers.

Buddy is quick to realize that they are at a huge height disadvantage of this potential enemy and decides to do the next best thing.

They bite his servo.

“OWWW! PRIMUS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!”--Rodimus

Buddy gets dropped to the floor and gets ready to book it when Rodimus grabs their tail.

“Hey! Let go of me!”--Buddy

“You bit me!”--Rodimus

“I don’t know who you are!”--Buddy

“So, you just bite bots you don’t know?”--Rodimus

“Pretty much!”--Buddy

Rodimus pointing to his chassis.

“I’m an Autobot. I’m one of the good guys.”--Rodimus

Buddy immediately stops struggling and looks at him curiously.

“You an Autobot? Haven’t heard anyone saw they were an Autobot in a few decades.”--Buddy

“Decades? What do you mean?”--Rodimus

“I mean that its only Maximals and Predacons now. Only those who survived the Great War still go by Autobot and Decepticon…”--Buddy

Buddy looks around and starts thinking.

“…I think I’m far from home…”--Buddy

Rodimus looks with a bit of sympathy to the smaller bot who was starting to come to terms with the fact they were in a place nowhere near their home.

They looked concerned and a bit frightened.

“Listen, I’m one of the Co-captains of this ship. I think I know a couple of mechs who can help.”--Rodimus

Rodimus extends his servo.

“What do you say? Friends?”--Rodimus

Buddy looks at him and his servo.

They shake his servo and begin to follow him to the lab.

“What’s your name anyway?”--Rodimus

“I’m Buddy.”--Buddy

“Buddy? Sounds more of an Earth name.”--Rodimus

“I get that a lot. And you?”--Buddy

“Rodimus Prime.”--Rodimus

Buddy stops in wide optic.

“YOU’RE Rodimus Prime?! Really!”--Buddy

Rodimus puffs his chassis a bit.

“Yes I am—”--Rodimus

“Oh Primus! I just bit my Amica’s ancestor!”--Buddy

“Your What?!”--Rodimus

There is a lot of explanation to do with Brainstorm, Perceptor and Nautica when Rodimus walks in with a smaller, much furrier bot by his side.

Brainstorm is just buzzing hearing about a new dimension.

Buddy just wants to get back home to their Amica.

Good news was that whatever gun Tarantulas shot them with was temporary. They would go back home as soon as the effects wore off.

The bad news was there was no way in predicting how long they were going to stay in this dimension.

For now, Buddy becomes an honorary crew member until they go back home.

Rodimus sets up a meeting and greet in Swerve’s for Buddy to meet the crew.

It was almost cute seeing Buddy freak out seeing some of the bots from the stories back home.

Buddy looks over at Drift with wide optic.

“Is that who I think it is?”--Buddy

Swerve looking at Ratchet who is talking to Drift and Rodimus.

“Who Drift? Yeah, that’s him—Buddy?”--Swerve

Buddy speed walks to Drift in their beast mode and happily hops to the bar top and sits in front of him and Ratchet.

“Hello?”--Ratchet

Buddy just stares at both with wide adoring optics.

Drift raises an optic.

Buddy starts purring.

“That’s new…”--Rodimus

“They’re just purring, that not new.”--Ravage

“How do you know that Ravage?”--Drift

“That’s an off-topic question.”—Ravage

Buddy wasn’t going to tell them about that yet.

Speaking of Ravage, Buddy and him got along surprisingly well all things considered.

Buddy and Megatron… that one was a bit more complicated.

 Buddy staring at the giant grey mech in front of them.

“…”--Buddy

Megatron was getting uncomfortable.

“Do you need something?”--Megatron

Buddy keeps on staring.

“…At least your not a purple dinosaur.”--Buddy

“A what?”--Megatron

“A WHAT!?”—Whirl

A few more days pass and Buddy starts feeling all tingly.

They had a feeling that they were going to get sent home now.

Buddy raced all around the ship telling their goodbyes to their friends.

“Goodbye everyone! Thank you for everything!”--Buddy

“No problem, Buddy! Let us know next time you’re in our dimension again! Maybe we can go meteor surfing!”--Rodimus

“Rodimus that is a terrible idea.”--Ratchet

“Great grandpa Ratchet’s right.”--Buddy

“…”--Everyone

“WHAT!”--Everyone

“BYE!”--Buddy

Meanwhile in Beast wars…

Buddy pops into existence in the base landing on Rattrap.

“AAAAAHHHHHHH!”--Rattrap

“Rattrap its me! Stop screaming!”--Buddy

Buddy gets off Rattrap and helps him up.

Rattrap blinks several times before whacking Buddy with a wrench.

“OW!”--Buddy

“You deserve so much more than that kid! Do you have any idea how long we were looking for you? And so, what? For you to just pop into existence!?”--Rattrap

Buddy rubs their helm a bit.

“I guess?”--Buddy

Rattrap sighs before giving them a quick side hug.

“Its… its good to have you back Buddy. Now go find your Amica. He’s been acting all crazy since you pulled that stunt.”--Rattrap

“Yeah I—”--Buddy

“BUDDY!?”--Cheetor

Rapid pede steps start getting closer.

“…Do you think I can out run him?”--Buddy

“With the messed up weeks he’s had, not likely.”--Rattrap

The Flower that Walked Alongside the Star

You decide on a whim during the night to make a trip to the forest in order to make up for your lack of summer forages.

It was already dark out by the time you walked onto the path that connected your farm to Marnies Ranch. It was your unfortunate luck that your daily visits to the mine busied you away from your duties in the forest, and you neglected to remember that you were short on the summer forageables. The lack of grapes from your fridge reminded you so.

So, out of stubbornness for wasting the day away in the mines, you chose to spend the night out collecting what you could in the forest before the crows could take its yield.

With your satchel by your side you trudged along the dirt path directly leading you into Cindersap forest. The weeds moved swiftly to the soft melodies of the wind, giving a small whish as you walked passed them. The trees stood still in the night, the summer air still stuffy despite the blue moon in the sky.

You took a deep breath in natures pathway, tonight was like any other. And yet, it seemed like there was something to anticipate for in your journey for a few berries and sweet peas.

You felt something in you stir as you walked. An urge to look up over the cliff to your right had overtaken your instincts. Your eyes crossed that certain path that would have taken you to his tower.

You knew better that it was simply your own feelings that instinctively made your head turn, but you still couldn’t explain that burning sensation in your chest despite being sure of them.

Still, you shook your head and continued walking down the path. The trees grew denser now, your footsteps made a crunchy sound over the small grass blades. Now, you were deep into the forest away from everyone in town.

The moon still gave light to your surroundings, that, you were grateful for. If you had came here during your early spring days there would have been no doubt that you would have been calling for help now. Now that you were accustomed to the forests strange mazes it was simply like any other walk you had previously taken here.

You give your arm a small crank up with a hefty huff to revitalize your energy. You give yourself a small boost of enthusiasm then set off in different directions to maximize your outputs for the day.

The birds chirped softly into the night. You were sure an owl hooted with the moonlight. A snag of twigs stuck somewhere on your hair. But you made sure to set your pace in the forest with care.

A few grape vines here and there, sweet peas hidden near the trees, and spice berries infiltrating your sense of smell to your luck. All was well and you were fortunate enough to find some common mushrooms as well. Good for thick soups, you thought.

Finally with a crack of your back from exhaustion, you contently rub your neck and turn around. Yards away from the forests exit, you take your time to gather yourself steady before your scheduled sleepiness could take over.

As you walk closer to the exit you feel a sudden shift of energies drawing you back. Your feet stops in its movement.

It was not fear, nor was it dread. Instead you were driven by sudden curiosity. Carefully, you turn your head in the direction of the mystery that had captured you so.

There stood a figure almost blending in with the darkness of the trees, yet illuminated by the soft blue moonlight. Your eyes shifted to his unique purple hair. Oh, you thought, it’s Magnus. But what was he doing here in the night?

You unknowingly took a step forward and his face snapped to your direction.

“You…? … What are you doing here?” He said with a strict tone.

Even from this distance you could tell he was narrowing his eyes at you. But you could also tell it was not hostile.

Magnus walks towards you in a swift motion. His eyes gleamed with multiple colors, you were enchanted by them. Quickly as you examined him, quickly he made his way in front of you.

Standing almost closely to your breath, Magnus speaks again.

“It’s late now. Just what do you think you’re doing outside here this hour?”

You contemplated on giving him an honest answer and potentially getting a lecture. You also contemplated on asking him the same question. However, it seemed like the both of you were too haggard to even start a long conversation now. Much less even you teasing him.

Instead you gave him sorry excuse, a villager wanting a spice berry for tomorrow’s dinner. You even made quite the dramatic inclusion of Clint’s name in the request. You silently apologized to him, in your mind.

Magnus stayed silent. Then he sighed. He put his hand on his temple then lowered it. His facial expression was stoic, yet his brows furrowed.

“You should not put yourself in harms way just for someone’s appetite. You have grown too-…”

Magnus stopped for a moment. You tilted your head slightly in concern.

“… No. Never mind.”

He sighed and looked like he wanted to say something more, a deep feeling in you wanted to probe him. Magnus moved to your right and began walking past.

“Come. I’ll walk back with you until we’re out of the forest.” He said to you without looking back.

You wonder what he was going to say back there, but with a quick dismissal on the thought you clutch onto your bag and jog forward before he can completely disappear.

Your body catches up with his, quickly enough that you were able to match his pace. Now you were walking besides him along the dirt path you’ve always walked on. You’ve never done this with him before. Even though the both of you were friends, which was a title you were pushing for, the most you ever did was initiate conversations with him at his tower.

Your thoughts swirled to shy yet bold thoughts. Heat began to grow on your cheeks and ears. You wanted to say something, but what?

“Take a notice on how the energies stir tonight. The stars, did you notice them?”

Your attention shifted to him quickly. Magnus’ stoic gaze stood upon on you. His eyes silently shimmered at finally catching your attention, if he meant for it to be subtle, then he failed. He awaited for your response and you flusteredly shook your head ‘no’. Your embarrassed reaction made your head turn straight ahead. Magnus chuckled and hummed in response to your reaction.

You were taken aback by this.

It was weird. If this was the Magnus you met at the tower on that day he made you drink mud and moss, he would have definitely not laughed at you just now. When you look back again his eyes now face forward, much to your disappointment.

“I see. Then why not take a moment to now? I’m sure familiarizing yourself with it now will help in your studies greatly, seeing as you’ve taken a large interest in this area.” He said to you as if nothing had happened just now.

He stopped walking and turned his body towards you. Magnus stretched his left hand outwards and you could see the faint magic that resembled the stars swirling about his fingers.

“This is a result of the summer nights energies. This season is perfect for one’s hold on it. Though during the day it remains strong, the nights are just as powerful if one is to manage their energies correctly.” He explains with detail.

The magic fades from his fingers and he lowers his hand. Just like a bird resting its wings, his hand completely disappears within his cloak once more. Magnus raises his head and looks up at the sky. You follow in suit.

Your eyes widened in awe of the world. The stars, they shined brightly ever more than you have realized. The night sky reflected in different shades of colors. Back at the city, you would have never taken your time to admire sights like these. After all, they were always plagued with the consequences of smoke and gas.

But here in the valley, unfettered by skyscrapers and busy streets, you could actually see the night sky prominent with the stars that surrounded your world.

Tonight however, it fared better than ever. A sense of nostalgia bursts within you, despite never having seen something like this. It made you confused, and perhaps a bit overwhelmed.

“Do not be afraid. The sky energies tonight dance with the stars, and in result have taken the shade of many colors that one barely lives to see.”

Magnus’ voice brings you back down to earth. When you finally bring your head back down Magnus is already again staring at you. His eyes were strangely glossy, as if he had taken the energies of the stars himself through his eyes.

“The stars, while a productive subject in one’s studies and curiosity to learn even more about, can be simply enjoyed on nights like these, no?”

The wind runs past your face. A shiver erupts from your body and you bring both of your arms together to warm yourself. Magnus then transforms his face in concern.

“Ah, are you cold? Hmm. Perhaps not tonight then. Do not worry. Nights like these are common in summer. Instead, we’ll continue as we have. Come, you must get home to warm yourself up properly.” He smiles at you softly and waits for you to compose yourself before walking again.

Magnus’ smile was rare. In beginning you wondered if he even smiled at all. It was something you rarely saw. Whenever he did smile, however, you took the time to memorize the way the corners of his mouth would crinkle.

You nod and sheepishly smile back at him, walking alongside each other once more.

The two of you eventually made it out of the trenches of the forest. Magnus’ tower was just up ahead and he was about to part for the night. In some way, you selfishly wanted him to stay next to you for a little while longer.

Walking up together on the path and finally at the crossroad, Magnus speaks up once more.

“… I never did thank you properly for dancing with me at the flower festival. I’ve… never thought in my entire life that I would participate in such affairs. Yet, you proved me wrong.”

You could see tints of flush on Magnus’ face.

“… Thank you for that. I truly appreciate it. Alongside everything you’ve done for me so far. I know I’m not the easiest person to befriend but… I’m glad you chose me as someone worth talking to.”

Magnus smiles softly at you again. This time, the corners of his mouth reach closer to his eyes.

You didn’t know if you smiled or not, what you could tell however was that you could no longer waver in your feelings anymore. Whatever Magnus saw on your face right now, would have to be saved for later, you supposed.

But before you could say anything, Magnus cleared his throat and averted his eyes, though the flush stayed on his cheeks evidenced by the moonlight shining on his form. It brings clarity to your mind.

“You’ve done well these past few weeks on your studies in the arcane. Like the buds you grow on your farm, you are blooming greatly as I have predicted. Your dedication is admirable, continue to learn something new everyday. Goodnight.”

Magnus steps to the side and begins to walk the path towards his home.

“…I hope to see you again in my tower soon.”

And his form begins to shrink as he walks further and further away. You already miss the feeling of his presence besides you.

The motions of your body move you towards the path between Marnies ranch and your land. The late night calls for your rest and warmth. Your home wasn’t too far though, so you decided to take your time to admire the sights, as Magnus had told you so.

Your eyes fall on the stars once more. For some reason now, they seemed a bit dim to you. Yes, it was colorful and beautiful.

… But nothing could compare to the stars you saw in Magnus when you were in the forest together.

How I limit my productivity and why you probably should too

Yes. I limit my productivity. I monitor my time being spent on being "productive" and doing things that are focused on growth instead of existence. Now I don't mean to say that I just ignore myself and don't try to be a better person. I'm talking in context of stereotypical social media productivity; things like studying for hours, working extra shifts, maximizing time spent on growth podcasts and self help books instead of indulgences like music and fantasy novels. I don't mean analyzing your bad behaviors and working on breaking bad habits. I'm talking more on the lines of marketable growth.

I have noticed a major increase over a couple years in people trying to be as productive as possible. They prioritize productivity and growth (again talking more of the marketable, social media style, not personal) and minimizing time spent living and merely existing. We are sprinting a marathon it seems. And I do not like sprinting. Or even running. It's my most dreaded part of my gym time. I acknowledge that it is necessary, and so is spending time being productive and working on your marketable growth. But it shouldn't be the main part of every day, just like sprinting for 10 minutes on a treadmill shouldn't be the main part of every workout you do.

I love informative podcasts just as much as the next person and TED Daily is a favorite for sure, as well as various fish and nature podcasts are too! But I limit these to my hour+ commute to campus every other day. When I'm walking around, I listen to music or maybe a "brain numbing" podcast (ones that don't make you think and comprehend and analyze things like story ones [magnus archives eg] or paranormal or mythology or crime style podcasts). I listen to pleasure things, not to thinking things. This gives my brain noise that's just noise. It let's my brain slip out of analytical scientist mode for a while and maybe dance while I walk around!

My gym time is scheduled. I spend the scheduled time in the gym and I enjoy it so much! But when it's not gym time, it's not gym time. I do my morning stretches and yoga and I do my hour in the gym every other day. This is time purely for the gym and nothing else. It's a great release but can also become taxing very quickly, so I only think about it when it's time to.

Study time is the same. It's scheduled and I study when it's study time. I don't walk around and look at flashcards anymore. This is not helpful at all and you could easily hurt yourself or others. You won't retain the information really and you're just adding extra stress into your already stressful life.

I have a schedule for my week and I block out my productive times. My gym time. My study time. My intellectual reading time. My information podcasts. All those things. But I schedule them AFTER I have blocked out classes, work, my slow mornings, chores, and pleasure items like a hair mask night or a night out or something. Of course I make time for improving myself and like I said they are also scheduled, but not with more importance than my actual life. And I also make sure that I know to be flexible with myself. Sometimes I have to add in extra study time and reduce time spent elsewhere if I have a test or something. Sometimes I get sick or I lose track of time while playing video games. Sometimes I sit in the bath way longer than I should. And that's ok. Sometimes we need to have the discipline to put pleasure aside EVERY NOW AND THEN and Sometimes we need the grace to put productivity on the back burner EVERY NOW AND THEN.

Don't ignore your responsibilities, but don't ignore your life either. So please, make just as much time for your pleasure as you do for your productivity. They're both important, but don't let school and life weigh you down so much that rain is annoying and angering and that you miss your niece's 3rd birthday. Dance in the rain. Jump in the puddles. Spin and laugh as you get soaked. And eat the easy bake cakes your little cousin bakes. And read your friend's kid a story. And draw little doodles in your notes. And smile. And try to make someone else smile. And drink your too sweet, too hot coffee. And listen to that song that you'd be embarrassed if anyone knew you liked it. Please don't forget to live.

Darkness Rising Part 1 Commentary

I felt like I'd be using the account to comment on things, so why not? Now, I will be sharing my own little head canons, so if that's not your thing just a heads up.

Right off the bat we are introduced to our first Cybertronian and it is Cliffjumper. Now, I once considered writing up my own story to send to Hasbro, something that is doomed from the start because why would they ever accept it, but with all the spotlight Bumblebee has been getting, I'd switch things around and have Cliffjumper as a member of the main cast. Red is my favourite colour after all. As for Dwayne Johnson, I personally find him an average at best actor and I haven't seen a ton of his stuff, but I have seen a fair number of portrayals of Hercules and he isn't one of my favourites, but I don't hate him either. For the record, my favourite actors are Nigel Green ("Jason and the Argonauts") and Lawrence Bayne ("Mythic Warriors"). As for Cliffjumper, I don't know, you just can't beat Casey Kasem, but on the subject of Shaggy Rogers, another Kasem role, I find Matthew Lillard to be a superior Shaggy, something that is no doubt going to get me a lot of hate, and in general I consider him a superior actor to Johnson, so maybe I think he would have been a better Cliffjumper, but at the same time I think it would have been a disservice to have such a great actor be brought in only to die in the pilot episode.

Then we get introduced to our second Cybertronian and of course, it is Arcee. I say "of course" because I love the characters who were introduced in the 1986 film. She, Hot Rod/Rodimus, Springer and Ultra Magnus would so have been included in the story I would have submitted to Hasbro. As for her altmode, it has typically been either a car or a motorcycle, but with the Transmetal 2 Maximal version of her having been a spider, I kind of feel like there was another direction to go, especially since at that point her screen appearances had two points for a car and this series brought it to three for a motorcycle and it could have been a good mirror for Airachnid, but I don't know, that's just me.

The energon on earth is a nice return to "Beast Wars", my introduction to Transformers. I really like that. I also really like seeing the Vehicons return in some form since I loved "Beast Machines."

Peter Cullen returning as Optimus is a real treat. I know we had gotten him back in the live-action films, but seeing him return to Optimus on television is just fantastic. He was actually at FanExpo last year alongside Frank Welker and I wanted to get both of their autographs, but I was not regularly working yet, I was only a call-in for a rare bookstore, and I did not know you could bring something in to get autographed, so instead of paying one hundred dollars to get an autographed picture of Megatron from Frank I could have brought in the Ultimate Guide to Transformers and gotten them both to autograph it. Maybe one day I'll have Peter's too.

Now we are introduced to Starscream voiced by the great Steve Blum. If you haven't seen the English dub for "A Cat in Paris", I highly recommend it. Blum is just fantastic in it. As for Starscream's design, I remember watching this and have no idea what I was expecting. Until the Michael Bay films, Starscream had always been recognizably Starscream. He might not have always had the same altmode (Yes, he was always a jet, but never the same kind, especially strange in my mind since I've looked it up and the F-15 Eagle is still in service, meaning unlike some characters, his altmode isn't exactly dated), then the 2007 film came and he has this head which is just not Starscream and it is the same here. I don't have the same problem with characters like Megatron because he hasn't always had a consistent design. Thankfully, Starscream's character is in tact with some variation.

Four minutes in and we have our first named casualty. Oh, God, I love it. I remember watching the 1986 film during lunch in high school with some friends and me being the only one who could actually identify them because I was such a big fan I watched the G1 episodes, I was on Unicron.com quite often. There were questions of how I knew all their names and an exclamation of "The medic?!" when I went "No! Ratchet!!" To me it hit more because I knew the names of these characters, but to someone who didn't they were just nameless casualties.

I kind of feel the same way in regards to Soundwave's design here as I do with Starscream's. It takes someone referring to him by name to know its him. I know he hasn't had many screen appearances, but his design is still recognizably him while this isn't, but on the other hand it looks so alien that I actually kind of like it.

The establishment of there being only five Autobots on earth now really makes you wonder how many others were lost. Its a nice touch.

And we are introduced to one of our human protagonists: Jack Darby. For obvious reasons, I head canon him as having gone dressed as Spider-Man one Halloween when he was younger, but for another head canon, just because, I have it that he eats shrimp with the tails. It drives both his mom and Miko crazy, Raf is indifferent and Fowler also eats the tails, thinking it adds a nice crunch.

I wonder if Arcee is the only who named their hologram driver.

While I do ship Jack and Miko, I had this head canon since before I started shipping them. June was asking if Jack was going to the dance because she'd heard someone was hosting a foreign exchange student, a girl, and thought Jack would go, meet her and hit it off. Miko was actually briefly at the dance, only to realize she felt like she didn't belong there without any friends and left soon after.

In regards to the "This is Jasper" line when Jack is told to be careful, I have the head canon that Jasper's most notorious crime was when its bank was being held up by a man wielding a taxidermy stork in the 1950's. For people who have lived there all their lives like Jack, June and Raf it is just a funny little story, but for someone like Miko she just has "WTF" flying through her head in big red letters. Sure, it sounds weird, but when your most notorious crime is some lunatic wielding a stuffed bird trying to rob a bank, what do you think is the worst that could happen?

Jack is so a motorcycle afficionado.

Ah, yes, Sierra (No Last Name) and... What was her name again?

And now we get into the action. A nice motorcycle chase, Bumblee gets into the action (my dad loved Bumbleebee) we are introduced to Raf (I have a soft spot for the glasses-wearing characters as I require them myself), it is a really good climax.

I would say robots that turn into cars is more accurate.

I actually don't have a problem with Bumblebee's more Bay film-inspired design. That is probably because due to a lack of screen appearances, unlike some characters, he didn't really have a set look. With this and "Animated" making it two for two, I'd say he has two looks.

Bumblebee accidentally stepping on Raf's toy car never fails to make me laugh.

Love how the Vehicons just call it them moment Bulkheard shows up.

And Optimus creates the Autobot Witness Protection Program.

Jack doesn't know what is going on. For all he knows, he and Raf are getting kidnapped by robots disguised as vehicles.

And now we are properly introduced to Miko, admiring the same motorcycle Jack was the day before. Fellow motorcycle aficionado?

And then Miko volunteered for the Autobot Witness Protection Program.

I love how indignant Ratchet sounds at the concept of someone having made the Autobots.

Having Megatron return is just the perfect way to end the pilot, especially since it heralds the return of Frank Welker as the character to television.

And that is the episode, great start. Thank you for reading this if you did.
