#Optimus Bumblebee and others

[keferon]

Me, seeing tfa Perceptor for the first time: uh..hm..well...okay

Me, learning his lore:

#i started watching tfa and #I gotta tell #i don't care about main characters at all #sometimes they're funny but so far #I'm just not interested in them #Optimus Bumblebee and others #they're okay but I...sigh...none of them is my type. let's phrase it that way #you know who IS my type though? Background side characters who's lore you have to learn through interviews and fandom wiki ahahahah #maccadam #perceptor #tfa

Hey, y’all remember that time the Autobots huddled up to plan cause they were getting their entire asses beat and Blitzwing just fuckin stood there posin’?

Honestly one of my favourite moments in the show; top three at least! Only Blitzwing would be like “yo FUCK Megatron, I wanna see how hard these bitches can HIT ME!!!”

#transformers animated #Blitzwing #tfa optimus prime #tfa bulkhead #tfa ratchet #tfa prowl #tfa bumblebee #like the autobots would NEVER do this with any other decepticons #yet somehow they know Blitzwing is chill enough that he’d let them do this and guess what HE DID #bro just wants a good fight he’s always stuck in that cave all day

Taking another shot at Animated Knock Out. I feel like it’d be fun if he were to interact with Team Prime for a while, before going full-time Con.

#like. in terms of Animated he’s an Autobot defector not a warbuild from the get go #so they’d have no reason to think he’s a con initially despite him being EXTREMELY suspicious #and he’d clash with almost every member of Team Prime #he’d keep the thing from tfp going and flirt with Optimus #he and Ratchet would hate each other on medical principle #Bumblebee is losing his mind because he can’t stand KO being faster/prettier than him #Knock Out is here to Be Hot and Cause Problems. and he’s already Hot #my art #tf #tfa #tfp #transformers #transformers animated #transformers prime #maccadam #knockout #knock out #tfp knockout #optimus prime #tfa optimus prime

More clean renders from the Transformers X CAT collab, yay! \o/✨

I fucking can't with the Optimus ones, im so obsessed XD he looks like he's trying so hard to be with the fellow kids, god bless 😭🙏 he's so cringe, luv him

The last Bee render has a weird shadow added by CAT and idk how to erase it, so sorry about that, i couldn't find it cleaner anywhere 😔

I wanted to add some Megatron ones, but the poses they choose for him were kinda boring, so maybe when i find one with him in a silly pose from another thing i'll make a post :/

BONUS UNDER THE CUT!!

This is not from the collab but from a site that has licensed merch, it had really low quality so some lines got kinda blurred in the upscale, i kinda cleaned them up, but i think is really iconic and y'all should see it <3

#maccadam #transformers g1 #optimus prime #bumblebee #g1 #g1 optimus prime #g1 bumblebee #👍 #the other renders from the site with licensed merch were almost all the same that CAT used. so we didn't lose much

Lowkey, I think one of my favorite little things about Rescue Bots is how we get to learn a little more about Optimus when he shows up. Like, not war stuff or Orion Pax stuff, but just little things about Optimus.

One of his favorite Earth stories is The Little Engine That Could. Does he read in his spare time and if so, how did he find Little Engine?

He tells Heatwave that he has also been learning from humans. What has he learned? The phrase "Nothing much, double dutch." Who the fuck taught him that? My money's on Miko. Jack would not have the audacity to add that to Prime's vernacular.

He has a motherfuckin' rocket powered car carrier capable of hauling four bots. And since Team Prime had four four-wheelers on the team prior to Darkness Rising, you could reasonably assume that he has used it with Cliff, Bee, Bulk, and Ratch

Optimus knows what a pogo stick is. That isn't anything noteworthy, I just think it's funny.

#transformers #rescue bots #tfp #optimus prime #rescue bots is so funny in the context of tfp and the greater aligned continuity #dinosaurs are still alive and optimus could turn into one prior to getting blown up with the base #optimus and bumblebee have canonically traveled to the past and to an alternate timeline #mech spent so long trying to build their own transformer only for some semi immortal dickhead to do it on his own with relative ease #triple and *quadruple* changers are canon to the aligned continuity #bumblebee almost succumbed to an alien pathogen and optimus (and maybe ratchet) was the only one who knew #shrink ray technology is canon and it was never used on the decepticons #team prime probably thought they were the last of the autobots but optimus and bee knew at least *nine* other bots on earth #eight if you don't want to count servo #but why wouldn't you count him? #optimus has driven across the sea floor after dramatically declaring he doesn't need a boat #laserbeak canonically becomes an autobot at the end of rescue bots academy

Question. How do you think the TFP bots each find the squishies that are humans look. Like aesthetically. Which ones find them cute or gross or funny looking? Cause in the Scraplet episode, Ratchet said “Typically I find your fleshiness your least engaging qualities.” Meaning that Ratchet find the humans gross to some extent, meaning that the Autobots does have aesthetic opinions about the humans. And it seems like everyone got different opinions. So what’s your head canon for each of their opinions?

Ooooooh now this is a question I will happily answer!

Ratchet: His views on humans and squishies in general is summed up to GROSS. He sees humans as essentially a bunch of organs in a poorly made plastic bag walking around on stilts. They are worse than hairless cats in his optics. They may be nice enough, but he would prefer to poke them with sticks or handle them with a hazmat suit if given a choice. He's warmed up to them, but will never find them particularly appealing. Interesting? Yes. Appealing? Primus no.

Bumblebee: Bumblebee thinks humans are a little unsettling, but he appreciates them in the way one would a pet tarantula. He can find something to see as appealing in them, although as a general rule he is not particularly enthralled with them. He is fond of human eyes, largely because their pupils dilate a great deal like how his optics cycle. He also finds it fascinating how many colors humans can have their eyes up being.

Arcee: She sits in the same boat as Ratchet for the most part. However she has one aspect of humanity that she is surprisingly fond of. She thinks human hair is quite "cute" in a sense. It reminds her somewhat of stories of Solus and she has always found it fun how humans can style their hair in so many unique ways. She has even gone so far as to ask June to teach her how to braid hair simply because Arcee also finds the texture of hair to be facinating.

Bulkhead: His thoughts on humanity can be summed up simply with: Smol Beans. He thinks they are adorable in the way one would look at a mouse and think it cute. Sure humans can do gross things like execrate and create strange internal liquids and sounds, but they are just so small. He can't help but find that fact appealing.

Wheeljack: He is neither grossed out or really invested in humans. He could care less what they look like. He's been everywhere and seen everything, so very little bothers him anymore when meeting new races. He does think that human teeth are interesting though. Cybertronians have their own version of the mouth bones, but humans growing the mouth bones and then having a few sets of them is something he just thinks is rather inspiring.

Smokescreen: He... doesn't like humans. He's in Ratchet's boat, but he's a lot less tactful in his outward reactions. His first few weeks on Earth involved a lot of gagging at humans as a whole. Squishies are not his cup of tea, but he's learned to handle it for the most part. So long as the squishes are clothed reasonably, he can pretend they are armored and ignore the fact that they are walking bags of bits and bone.

Optimus: He doesn't mind humanity. He doesn't think they are physically appealing in any real regard, but he admires their minds. Such small creatures holding hope and intellect on par with the more technological races is something he finds impressive. He also holds an appreciation for their voices simply because they are clear and without complication. It is new, and for that reason he finds it beautiful in a sense.

Ultra Magnus: He doesn't like humans. Period. He tolerates them for the sake of the team and negotiations, and he may be appreciative of human comrades and friends. But the species as a whole? He is not fond of them. He is largely more confused than anything else. He has no idea how such a fleshy and delicate species lasted so long. But he has largely shrugged it off and moved on with life.

TFP Autobots and how they comfort others

Optimus Prime:

I think he can have a very comforting vibe to him when he wants to, for a lot of the autobots he's considered an older brother figure, father figure, and overall a trusted adult figure to speak with

For younger people such as bumblebee, smokescreen and the kids, he gives soft smiles and reassurance if something is troubling them

Optimus isn't big on physical touch but he'll put a hand on one's shoulder as his main way of comforting them or calming them down

For a bit older characters, like arcee and bulkhead, he comforts them the same way but a bit more maturely if that makes sense? Like he won't sugarcoat anything around them, but he won't be harsh or anything

Ratchet is definitely someone Optimus feels like he can let his guard down around, so that means the same goes for ratchet

Optimus knows the old bot and how he sometimes feels he isnt enough, so optimus makes sure to reassure ratchet and remind him that he is an important part of the team, and family

Overall, his main way of comforting people is reassuring words and the 'hand on the shoulder' thing dads do lol

Arcee:

Arcee is a great listener, and lets people rant to her to get things off their chests

We see her comfort Miko when Bulkhead was injured; both of them sat up top while Arcee reminded Miko that closing yourself off from everyone wouldn't help the situation

Based off of this, I think that Arcee is also very good at giving advice when trying to comfort people

She'll listen, and then give her thoughts on the situation

She keeps it real too, doesn't matter if it's Miko, Bulkhead, Bee, etc., she won't sugarcoat things

When Raf got hurt, we see Arcee sternly exclaiming to Bee to keep his emotions in check

She's been through a LOT, so she understands being angry, scared, feeling helpless

But she uses those experiences to help others get through tough situations

Bumblebee:

I think Bumblebee's way of comforting people would be physical touch, since he's not able to express himself through words very well

This involves a pat on the back if one of his friends are feeling down or disappointed, a hug if it's a bit more serious, and just things like that

Spending time with them would be a big way of Bee trying to cheer someone up too

For example, if Raf had a bad day, Bumblebee would take him for a spin around Jasper (Also I believe it's canon that they go out and play with Raf's little racing car and that's just the cutest shit ever I love them sm)

He's picked up some traits from Optimus, so when Bee got his voice back he probably tried a more "Optimus" approach to comforting people, but overall he does his absolute best to cheer up and help whoever needs it

Bulkhead:

(ignore the pic being rly small lol)

I honestly don't see enough love for this big guy

I'd say he would be one of the most comforting people to be around

If it's someone he knows really well, so pretty much anyone in team prime, he's gonna do his absolute best to help them out with whatever's bothering them

He may not always have the right words though

So I think that, similar to Bumblebee, he'll stick mainly to physical touch, and Bulkhead would try to distract the person too

Like if Miko was upset about something, he would put on some music she really likes to get her mind off of it

However, people like Arcee probably wouldn't want a distraction, or just can't handle any distraction at the moment

That's when Bulkhead will listen and give any advice of his own, as well as hug whoever's feeling down (if they're ok with it)

Ratchet

He doesn't care. (he cares very much and wants to help)

Ratchet's just not the best at expressing it, he'll comfort others in subtle ways

If one of the humans were noticeably in a bad mood, Ratchet might start a conversation with them and slowly ease into the topic of whatever's upsetting them

He's definitely not big on physical touch, so I'd say his main way of comforting a person is talking it out and listening

He would offer solutions too

For the bots, I think it depends on the situation; if one of them were having some sort of flashback, or severely injured, Ratchet would immediately jump to comfort/help them

However if it's a more milder situation, he'll talk it out with them or just simply leave it to someone who's a bit better at this type of stuff

One of the ways we see him comfort someone in the show is the episode where something was up with Bumblebee, so Ratchet had to pick Raf up from school

We see him be pretty silent at the beginning but he eventually says, "Wanna ride with the sirens on?"

Even if he normally was against it, Ratchet's willing to break through his "I don't care" front he puts up, so he can help those he cares about most

Not really a fan of tfp or most of the aligned stuff but there's admittedly something beautiful about what they did with the lore of the original thirteen primes, the way it’s presented as an illustration of how the greatest empire isn’t toppled by its enemies but crumbles from within

When united the thirteen were able to defeat Unicron. Their distinctively different natures and abilities complemented each other to emerge victorious against massive odds. Yet after the enemy’s gone, those differences became sources of conflict. Megatronus killing Solus in a fit of rage over scorned love was the final catalyst that drove everyone completely apart, but the fuse of dissent had been festering among them for a long time; their downfall was not brought about by Unicron but by a thousand acts of tiny suspicions and innocuous clique-making and perceived slights and deceit and jealousy and prejudices all cumulating to boil over into a tipping point which ultimately resulted in the murder of an innocent. 

It’s a neat epitomization of the Cybertronian race and the path of their history. They won against Unicron. They prevailed against the catalyst. They drove out the Quintessons. They survived and thrived through everything the universe threw at them only to lose themselves to civil war. Nothing can defeat Cybertronians except Cybertronians themselves.

Both Megatron and Megatronus left Cybertron in self-exile after making peace with the others. Nobody forced them to leave; they were already given acceptance, if not forgiveness. It’s like the spiritual thing where “the self” is the final enemy, they left because they needed to make peace and come into acceptance with themselves. 

Optimus made the same choice that he did as Thirteen in sacrificing himself for new life. His task was over and he’d done his part, all regrets and worries laid to rest. He was at peace with himself at his ending, which remained true for both lifetimes. It’s one that’s filled with hope. The beginning of a new journey.

#And neither died for the war or because of the war #it's one of the few endings I find sad but satisfying and wouldn't have it any other way #refuse to think about the Rid show #Megatronus named HIMSELF 'the Fallen' #it's not a derogative that someone else gave him #the only other thing I liked about tfp was Bumblebee's design #or maybe just bumblebee in general #transformers #optimus prime #megatron #transformers prime
