tf ocs... how i would kiss my wife if i were a fish and married etc etc

they have dunkleosteus and coelacanth alt modes respectively 😁 fish are awesome

Something something transformers dealing with this shit

I hit a pothole (a Michigan pothole so basically a sinkhole) today and my check engine light came on. I don’t have one of those computer plugins to reset the light and I knew it was just a sensor that got knocked so I was just like “well let’s see if this works” and on the way home I swerved and hit the pothole again and the check engine light turned off

absolutely hilarious to me that around 90% of the time when team prime is talking about “the decepticons” doing something it’s literally just soundwave

“the decepticons are hacking the satellite array”

soundwave is sitting alone in a warehouse with a computer that’s too small for him tf do you mean the decepticons it’s literally just him

Who is he?

I made my sentinel prime some tiny socks

Y'know even in spite of how good IDW and earthspark megatron are I think tfp megatron is my favorite just for the melodrama and untapped comedic value. This bitch is so emotionally repressed and comically power hungry it circles all the way back to being thematically compelling. He comes back after a several year radio silence with armfuls of Robot Space Crack and immediately assumes power again like nothing ever happened. He throws vehicons off the wings of his ship. He has beef with a 14 year old girl. He abused the power of the anti-god that turns people into mindless drones and was surprised when said god tried to make him a mindless drone. His own ship came alive and tried to stage a mutiny. Optimus prime did a burnout on his face that one time. If someone made him express a genuine emotion besides rage he would spontaneously combust. I fucking love him

placing some random thoughts down- there doesn't seem to be any limits with alt mode options? Percy has a microscope and Signal Lancer has a fucking traffic light alt mode

sooo :3 tamagotchi fuck it

Love this idea c:

Since Cybertronian full names are like Prowl of Protex and Skids of Nova Cronum. Would Terran full names be like Twitch Malto of Philadelphia?

Ooooh. Feels fluorescent

Nice one

Genuine question, sorry if this feels random, but if a human was trying to understand/study cybertronians on a biological level, what fields of research would be most applicable?

This is a great question, and I'm sorry it's taken me this long to reply!

What comes to mind first would be two critical areas of immediate understanding, and one example of further comparative investigation to deepen that initially established understanding in selective areas.

Physiology, Anatomy, and multiple sub-specialty areas-- I'll focus on one here as an example, a sub-speciality of Orthopaedics called Arthrology.

Physiology is a very broad field, which essentially covers the functions and processes of life.

Anatomy is also a broad field, involving the study of the structure of living things.

Arthrology is the study of joints and articulations, and is often applied in Orthopaedics and Rheumatology (among other fields like Sports Therapy, Paediatrics, etc.).

Arthrology may sound like an odd choice for an example of how various sub-specialities would be involved as well, but let me explain:

In the context of studying Cybertronians, due to their basic humanoid shape (bipedal, two arms, two legs, one head, etc.), we can make some basic comparisons to human beings.

But how similar are we actually, and how can we determine that? What are the differences, how do we start figuring that out? How does it play into any anatomical/physiological findings that have been made up to this point already, possibly based on information provided to humans by Cybertronian medics?

Selecting one system or aspect of the body and focusing on that to further develop any initial anatomical and physiological knowledge may be helpful in early investigations as well.

We may want to start in several areas once we've established knowledge of basic physiology and anatomy, which would inform further investigations, or we might start developing any physiological or anatomical knowledge in the first place by picking a specific place to start and figuring out the anatomy/physiology from there.

I think the order and approach to investigations here would depend on how much information Cybertronians may be willing or able to provide to any humans, and depending on any specific systems being studied, it may vary.

For the sake of this example, using Arthrology as one potential area we would want to examine, we could compare Cybertronian joints to human joints, and start determining how things are structurally and functionally different.

This could help map out the anatomy of any joints and connected systems, such as tendon-like pistons or muscle-like protoform, which may potentially be involved in Cybertronian mechanical joint systems.

Studying connected tendon-pistons and surrounding materials and functions in the body, working from the joints outward, could help us start to understand how their fine motor control processes physically work on a mechanical level, such as servo functioning and how those components fit in with everything else.

It could also provide some insight into potential concerns, such as any indications of stress, wear-and-tear, or any markings on the components of the joints and associated systems/materials.

There would be a lot of multidisciplinary work; For example, Neurologists may be focusing on studying the processor, but would also be interested in the findings from any arthrological investigations as well, since fine motor functions are both physical and neurological, and understanding how Cybertronian's bodies send movement signals to their joints would help further knowledge in both areas.

So the answer is: Building a knowledge of basic anatomy and physiology would be critical first and foremost.

This could be done either with some pre-existing knowledge shared by Cybertronian medics, in which case basic information would already be known and investigations would attempt to further build on that knowledge, or alternatively we would be going in without any prior information and would need to develop our understanding of anatomy and physiology by utilising multiple specialities to begin learning about individual systems of the body to build our understanding of Cybertronian bodies.

I gotta go to work in a minute and haven't had time to edit this, so I hope it makes sense! :)

And thank you for such a good question! <3

My pitch to hasbro for new transformers

picture this

Three transformers that are a gestalt

1st

Gaslight: Amazing lady, She totally not a massive bitch, she didn’t call you an ugly fish faced protoform? what are you talking about?! Your so delusional and manipulat-

Earth alt: news van

job: recon, interrogation, medic

2nd

Gatekeep: he’s super chill and accepts all kinds people, except decipticons… and those weird insect ones, and the cold constructed, and people with hover bike alts, and-

Earth alt: Armored truck

Job: Security, mechanic, chronically online 

and finally

3rd

Girlboss: super chill has tons of money, owns three different pyramid schemes, invests in crypto currency, owns nfts, total scammer

Earth alt: bugatti

job: Leader of gestalt, Tactician, will con you outta all your savings

Together they make Abomination
