#the griffin mythology of the island could be explained by super duper depictions of select predacons or predacon fossils

[transingthoseformers]

Fun fact! Upon rereading the rb tfwiki page, Griffin Rock is officially where the mainland sends advanced prototypes to test it, so yay! No wonder the tech is so unpredictable, Unicron's favorite island is officially a government testing ground (a big reason why the rescue bots were sent there lol)

Also I've mentioned this before but Griffin Rock has so many oddly coincidental geological features. The absurd amount of gold under the island apparently, the massive and consistent tunnel system, the ISLAND WIDE vein of reactaline cupping the island, quantum crystals (fun fact the majority of the time you see the word quantum in science fiction it's 100% used as a bullshit random science word), and a strangely easy to find amount of energon. Now, the dinosaurs can be explained by the tunnels (though i have so many gripes about the dinosaurs and the fact that there's an entire ecosystem down there working with no sunlight??? How are those plants alive???) The artificial volcano is sadly explainable as simply a bad idea. wHAT IS THIS PLACE

#riot rambles #transformers rescue bots #maccadam #it's not the technology that gets me out the geology that gets me #something's super fuckity duckity with that place #I've done headstories on there secretly being an abandoned shockwave lab somewhere in the island or wayward island #and that the weird geology is mineral caches that did that crystal creep we see energon do in tfp #the griffin mythology of the island could be explained by super duper depictions of select predacons or predacon fossils #this island is so fucked up sometimes #also reading the wiki there were some sly jokes in that show
