Redesigning some bonsais

[gelu-the-babosa-multiversal]

At this point, I still question how bad Energon is for human health... like, there is a clear inconsistency for every new TF interaction but even in the aligned continuity the idea is bounced like a ball to all directions...

In TF Unicron Trilogy: Energon, Kick was sent countless times in search of Energon by his stupid father only because the kid had the special power to detect Energon... and then use the Energon to give Kick a power armor or something like that IDK.

In TFA it is shown how the mere presence of the All Spark can kill human cells and literally rot a human... but also reverse the process????

On TFP it is said that Energon is lethal, and it was shown with Raf after Megatron shut him with his Dark Energon canon. But then they have to sue pure Energon to save Raf and there are not other consequences after that...

In TFRB Blurr and Slavage gave a caveman a small Energon Crystal so he survived the current disaster that was destroying his home. IT. LITERALLY. KEEP. A. HUMAN. ALIVE! I keep the guy like a frozen fruit in the fridge kjahkajfhLSF

In TFES... IDK I don't remember well, but Mandroid was decaying in life. We could see his whole body rotting as the season passed. With Robby happened the same but at a much faster alarming rate...

And then there's the thing with the Botbots. I'm surprised no one has sued the store because the exposure to their products is causing limb loss, skin rotting, blood loss, sickness, and IDK what else jhdakjefhakf

I think that I might be forgetting more specific scenes and extra info, so feel free to discuss.

I like to think that Frostferatu was always planning on inviting the Lost Bots but got stuck in the vending machine because why else would he have extra tickets if the Sugar Shocks are already assumed to be at the event? Like, Bro wants to hang out with them!! Since the very beginning!! I love him <3

I’ve been saving up for a long time & I finally have it!

The Lego Transformers Bumblebee Set!

It took 2 days to build it, I enjoyed every second of it, I just love building Lego sets.

I just love all of the little details & References that are in this set:

There’s the 2 license plates: “BMBL84” from the 1984 Transformers Cartoon & “GLDBUG” from his Goldbug rebuild story.

There’s the bumper stickers that say Optimus Prime’s catchphrase “Roll Out!” & there’s the “I ❤️ Cybertron” because Cybertron is Bumblebee’s home planet.

Then there’s the small little Bumblebee in the Car Window referencing Bumblebee’s namesake. That one is my favourite little detail.

It also came with a plaque with some information about Bumblebee.

Let me know what you guys think of this Lego Set?

See you all next time👋

Top 10 Reasons Why Transformers Botbots is GENIUS!!

1- It reminds us that Transformers works best when it is NOT serious. - Transformers are at their core TOYS. They are not meant to be taken seriously though they can be put in serious situations if the person playing with them wishes it so. And even then, Transformers are meant to be fun.

2- It reminds us that the possibilities of Transformers are infinite. - Hasbro is very guilty of trappings the beloved bots in a rut specifically the one where every story is just somehow a variation of G1, but it doesn't have to be. Botbots was not even the first case. We had Beast Wars that had a huge hand in TF lore as we know it now and we had Rescue Bots that no war at all going on.

3- Transformers can change into anything the story calls for. - People forget that the Transformers are transforming robot aliens. They change into what their environment necessitates them to. It doesn't have to be cars, planes and such. In fact, it's fun to play with that idea. Like I said before, Beast Wars and Beast Machine played with this idea. We even got a Transformer (Botanica) who changes into a plant.

4- Switching up the setting is refreshing. - The setting doesn't have to be a battlefield. In fact, why not take it a step further by not having it on dry land? I would love to see a Transformers story that takes place in the ocean or even other country that isn't in North America. Heck, why not make one that's on another planet!

5- You can tell a good story without violence or war. - The Transformers have personality, quirks and lives beyond fighting. And before you say "Transformers is not that type of story", as I said before, they are their core TOYS. They can be anything we want and can go through anything we want. If Hasbro can make a story about fluke Transformers having fun in a mall while getting into mischief, you can make other stories involving Transformers too. Be honest, would you really not watch a Transformers sitcom especially if it starred Optimus Prime as the dad?

6- You can tell a good Transformers story without Optimus Prime. - I love the guy, but... we talk about the fatigue towards Bumblebee yet perhaps he's not the only one we're tired of. I'm not saying get rid of him or any of the iconic characters. Just give the guy (and us) a break. Show us what the other bots are doing for a change.

7- The fact that Transformers can change even into inanimate objects is pretty cool. - Can we also talk about how useful this is when it comes to camouflaging and hiding? If sounds dumb on paper, but actually, it's not. If anything, putting the bots in a situation where they are challenged in such a way that they can only move when in bot form opens possibilities for other stories. Like stealth missions, observation or finding a newfound appreciation for activity and manual work. Or... they can take on the properties of the object they change into!

8- The possibility of inventing new factions. - Since we are on the subject of bots who change into inanimate objects, maybe they should be a faction of their own? Maybe even several ones. I mean, we have seen that Transformers are not limited to Cybertron, so why not?

9- The possibilities with energon are infinite. - According Botbots, they can to be due to an energon cloud passing over a mall and turning some objects into Transformers. If energon can do that, what else can it do? Can it heal? Can it create technorganics? Can it make AIs sentient? I'm open to exploring that. With that said, do Transformers have connections to OTHER media and we never knew?

10- Are Transformers in fact MAGICAL? - This was a theory that originated as a joke, but after seeing how energon can bring inanimate object to life and considering how the Matrix works, maybe it is not such a stretch to say there is more to Transformers than just robotics. Maybe the Botbots are that missing link or rather, proof that Transformers do have a bit of magic in them and that's actually pretty damn cool. Can you imagine the storytelling possibilities with Transformers who use magic? Plus, it has been confirmed that Alpha Trion has ESP.

PS: It is actually not the first time the Transformers changed into inanimate objects. In the GoBots (yes, they are a part of Transformers lore), we had the Rock Lords which consisted of bots who transformed into various stones which varied from plain stone to precious metals or stones. Now I'm imagine a series where Optimus and his team transform into gems and take on their properties.

The Cake Is A.. Lie?

Does that botbot ever exist? Who knows, maybe it's all in your head.

No one knows their name not even I know. Seriously- I don't have any ideas for the name

Design for Refraktor and Shudder

A mass produced vehicon based on decepticon social media influencer Viewfinder, they're equipped to monitor all events on earth with their Shudder drones to go places they cannot, intended to match the six clan's Ida and her shuteyes

Without nightbird's inexperienced vision to make the vehicons into experimental works of art, the only thing that differentiates them from their inspiration are technological limitations, under big hoss for the short time he was in charge and later alpha strike and omega doom, the vehicons grow more numerous and indistinct, filling specific tactical roles rather than serving to test new technologies and approaches to things, exemplified by the first vehicons to be successfully mass produced, each Refraktor and shudder identical to the last.

Their personalities are intentionally dulled but Viewfinder's was so strong in the first place they still end up quite chatty, although you wouldn't be able to tell because the Refraktors only communicate on a secure radio frequency inaccessible to anybody but the vehicons that know about it, they have a comment on every piece of information they see and gossip incessantly, the loss of one Refraktor does not mean the loss of information because they likely already told the other Refraktors about it.

Their shudder drones have personalities of their own, small and fragile they embody all of their fears and have one core priority besides observing events, self preservation. But as their cowardice takes up more space than their whole bodies they're quick to run away at the slightest noise or scarry sight, only to be "motivated" by their Refraktor to keep watch, using a controlled shock

I really love the Lost Bots' rooms.

Like look at Burgertron's–

That burger box full of napkins being his bed, the pink container full of popcorn (is it a chair?), the donut mug in the corner, all of it is just so fun and interesting because it shows how small they are and how they find different use for these items. Also, this room is sooo him!

Oh, and this drawing with the first place ribbon is totally from some art competition he hosted, judged, and competed in to declare himself the winner.

Also, personal headcanon of mine is that this bulletin board is full of little self affirmations. Examples, "Burgertron iz awsom!!" "Burgertron has gr8 ideAs!!" "Burgertron iz so kewl :D". The only thing he knows how to spell correctly is his name.

Oh but I do have one question.... Who is she?!?

A blend between Botbots and another Transformers continuity of your choosing could be cute

[good-guy-2006]

I would kill a man for all three of these to get a Season 2. You have no idea.
