Choosing to believe that when Bumblebee was laughing at Soundwave exploding a cassette he means the tape all unspooled and was incredibly annoying to fix, but was ultimately fixable. like this:

Playing the new Earthspark game like:

Mandroid is back and there’s a desert level.

What other TF game has a desert level?

CYBERVERSE BATTLEGROUNDS.

And you know who is in that level?

SHADOW STRIKER.

This is how we can still get ES Shadow Striker 😤

Level 2 is a jungle and the GRIMLOCK FIGHT IS SO PRETTY

While I am ADORING the winter mountain level I did run into 3 minor bugs where doors wouldn’t open when the triggers to open them were met which was a little annoying. Nothing leaving the level and coming back (or restarting the app) couldn’t fix but ah well.

Other than that tho I’m having a lot of fun!

#cannot begrudge the bugs too badly bc like. I have BEEN there. but also #it’s too bad they didn’t get caught in QA. no idea if anyone else would be able to replicate it tbh so maybe it’s just a me problem lol #fun game tho :) #optimist.txt #es expedition spoilers

Soundwave (TFP)

For Soundwave

Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction by William D. Callister Jr.

May I recommend a Materials Engineering textbook for the alien scientist trying to build a robot dragon army on a new planet? Gotta know what kind of new materials he’s working with here.

For You

The Island of Dr. Moreau by HG Wells

If you like the character who does unethical science experiments you’ll love “critique of unethical science experiments: the book!”

[ID: two screenshots from the comic transformers: More than meets the eye. The first is from mtmte vol. 4 of chromedome curled up on the floor. Energon is leaking from his missing arm. The second is of chromedome in the same position and the panel has the same composition but this time he is being hugged by rewind and a speech balloon from off the panel says “it’s not your choice to make, domey.” End ID]

Prowl (IDW1)

For Prowl

The ABC Murders by Agatha Christie

A murder mystery featuring an arrogant serial killer that is killing victims in alphabetical order sounds right up Prowl’s alley.

For You

The Department of Truth vol. 1: The End of the World by James Tynion IV

If you’re a fan of Prowl I feel like you may also be a fan of this series about a shady government agency that’s job is to keep conspiracy theories from getting out of hand.

#I am aware that you novafire specifically may not be a fan of horror… #but I DO read a lot of horror and I think the intersection between prowl fans and horror fans would enjoy department of truth #sorry #AGATHA CHRISTIE on the other hand is the most popular author of all time so. you can’t go wrong at least trying a couple of her books haha #optimist.txt #comic recs #ask games #asks

Perceptor (IDW1 and/or Cyberverse)

For Perceptor

Beyond Engineering: How Society Shapes Technology by Robert Pool

I feel like of all the Science Guys (in IDW1 especially) Perceptor would be most interested in how people influence the development of technology and that’s exactly what this book is! It’s definitely got some bias, but still an interesting read.

For you

Far Sector by NK Jemisin and Jamal Campbell

I think Perceptor fans would appreciate the absolutely fascinating Sci-if world building that goes on in this comic. Very weird and cool.

On the right is drift, who has more colours, but only marginally. The two are sitting on a cutting mat that has scores, pen marks, and paint on it. End ID]

@autothotsrollout gave me bald Ratchet bc I kept bullying him (thank u ily) so now I am gonna (try to) paint him. Depending on how ambitious I feel, Drift may be next 🔪

Flamewar (IDW2)

For Flamewar

Woman World by Aminder Dhaliwal

Flamewar doesn’t me as the kind of person who can sit still reading for very long so strip comics seem to make most sense for her. I recommend woman world over others because of its tongue-in-cheek sense of humour and the close knit relationships. They have was Streamteam wants.

For you

Birdking by Daniel Freedman and CROM

If you’re a fan of Flamewar you will probably enjoy this one! It’s the perfect mix of Hellboy and Nimona: moody and fantastical atmosphere with a spunky blacksmith protagonist ready to take on the world and everything evil in it.

#have I recommended Nimona yet? #surely I have… #if not… y’all’ve gotta heard about it by now #read Nimona #optimist.txt #ask games #comic recs
