[So, here's the thing, apparently the site I used to host my fanscript of BumbleBee 2 that I wrote doesn't allow you to reach it via the link from my previous post, which sux, but I found a work around, so hope this works :) Still really proud of this one, and I want to share it with others, and I'd love to hear peoples' thoughts - fingers crossed that the link'll stay working]

Logline: - Cybertron has fallen. The Decepticons have won. The Autobot forces have been scattered across the stars. However, Bumblebee has managed to establish a fallback base on Earth. Now, it is up to him, Optimus Prime, and their band of Autobot refugees to reunite the shattered Autobot forces and take back their homeworld. That is, if they survive the Decepticons that followed them first.

In short; The Autobots wage their battles to destroy the evil forces of The Decepticons!

Happy Charbee Anniversary 2023!

And also, Happy Holidays!

I literally had no idea what I wanted to do for this year except that I wanted a reunion maybe. I was in the process of doing a different version but realized it was getting too long and then decided to do a short coming home for Christmas comic. Sorry, it's messy lol I haven't slept for two days. Bee thought he was being so cute with the giant ribbon.

I am once again begging you, to please let us have Charlie and Bumblebee reunite T.T

Check out this, and other works celebrating Charbee Anniversary at the AO3 collection!

AU where the Matrix allows it's bearer to speak to Primes of the past

But also Primes of other worlds, other realities, with wisdom they need or do not have for their own home.

Imagine please, a young Orion who sees visions when the Matrix first binds itself to him, of many different versions of himself.

A version of himself in a world where he was no great warrior, just a humble repair worker, who stumbled onto fate accidentally with his crew, working hard to make something of himself.

A version of himself tutored by the Scribe, who was a friend to his greatest enemy, who's words were his sword.

A version of himself, or at least part of himself, bound to a descendant of his people, or perhaps even ancestor, who's form is that of a beast.

A version of himself, marred by war and betrayals by humanity, but still trying to hold on. Still trying to just keep his family alive.

A version of himself, who is brand new to this planet called 'Earth' still, and beginning to bond with humans. One who accepts that Cybertron cannot be home now, but maybe Earth can.

And each version of himself he sees, he can seek wisdom from.

And they too can seek out his.

Bumblebee from Transformers is a lot of things

And a whore is definitely one of them

I don't understand how some of yall infantilize like it's somewhat makes sense mostly the Optimus treating him like a son but he doesn't have to be a child for that if anything he a 20-year-old hanging with a bunch of old men

And don't even argue with me about TFA!! That motherfucker is a 24-year-old who hides alcohol and possibly drugs from the rest of the team in his room and that's why it so goddamm messy

Even g1 people!! They wrote him as a 19-year-old and that motherfucker may act innocent but trust! Me I know stoner when I see one

But!! I have to give you the benefit of the doute with this guy

Tfgo!go! Bumblebee is well an actual baby and acts like Optimus son so go ham

[tigressaofkanjis]

My biggest pet peeve in Transformers media and fanfiction sometimes is that Transformers aren't treated as aliens. They are referred to as aliens, they obviously are aliens, but they never feel like they are aliens because they are always written or seen as having all human mannerisms or features usually. Human posture, human noses, human mannerisms, humanoids...

What about TFA's cat noses or TFP's helm noses? One of the reasons I think those two shows have peak designs is because they have this lack of uncanniness to humans design wise. I'm not looking at a human being as a robot, I'm looking at an alien robot, ones that have claws, ones that have different body types that blend with their vehicle modes, ones with horrific mutilations and designs impossible by human standards. I love seeing that type of stuff in Transformers because to me, it makes them feel alien without completely changing the premises of similarities to where we can't compare their culture or likeness to humans. The films (mostly 1 and 2) showed off this as well.

Another thing I really would like to see in Transformers media is non-human interactive qualities. What do I mean by that? One thing I've noticed is aside from techno-organic species, regular Cybertronians do have a few qualities found in animals. Engine humming I believe was once used as a form of purring in the films and in some of the cartoons. Humans can't purr; cats can, and that small detail is always interesting to come across because it's like "wow, they have this feature that shows off a trait found in Cybertronians. That is so cool." You have them with multiple voice boxes for mechanical, natural, and human-like tones which is also an animal trait. Bumblebee is self-explanatory in most universes being able to still make sounds yet not talk. They have sensors across their body that don't act like the basic human receptors. Most animals can do more than just feel through certain points of their bodies. They can taste, smell, or even hear a hundred times better than a human being throughout various body parts, and Transformers have been hinted to have this ability too, especially through their servos. It's stuff like this that expands upon their existence as aliens.

They have extreme durability, their body morphs to extremes and can also double as a moving weapon (most obvious of course), some of them can make ungodly roars and creature-like noises to warn or show their threatening demeanor (Megatron's dinosaur-like growling), some can have two rows of teeth (a flat base in front and fangs hidden behind), and some of them have mimicking animal-like features (Starscream's bird-shaped feet with visible expansion the same as organic foot padding with similar distributive weight physics in a few universes) despite having no beast mode. There's probably more I can't think of on the top of my head in canon, but all those things are not heavily used as they should be to make them feel alien. They can still hold some relation to the humans they interact with, but I think a lot of Transformers are more than just metal "humans", you know?

Depending on the universe in fanfiction and who you encounter who writes it or not, you have several things that are always cool to see. They have to sparkbond (merging of hearts) above everything else to create a sparkling's life force with interface as just the extra for physical coding features. I've seen people use the non-canon heat cycles which are, of course, our fandom way of making a type of breeding euphemism akin to an animal's cycle. You have the common phrasing of nuzzling, heightened senses, armor and certain parts of the helm acting like fur or ears where it raises and flattens per their mood, and some Transformers have limb dissonance where if necessary, they can convert between bipedal and quadrupedal stances (best example is Bulkhead and Lugnut from TFA who have long arms but short legs and they have the bulky structure where they could possibly run like an animal briefly and the physics of it would work).

So, you have all these different things a common Cybertron most likely would be able to do or have but a human couldn't, and it's never utilized to their full potential. I would like to see people address the nature of Cybertronians as alien and not be afraid to make them alien. I think that's the biggest flaw in our franchise is that everyone is scared of making the Transformers not the humanoid "norm" and getting ridiculed for it. Like, they're aliens, you can make them act however animal-like or completely batshit insane as you want them. You can give them powers, animal-based senses, and behaviors hidden among a human thought process. And technically, you wouldn't be wrong to what they could be as a living creature in the universe by doing so. They aren't humans; they look humanoid, but they aren't us. Why should they have to be in every regard?

Thank you for reading my TED Talk.

it’s so interesting to me that the original g1 optimus prime voice hasn’t been seen since the last g1 american episode really. like yes peter cullen has come back many a time, but it’s never been that kind, gentle, fatherly voice like he originally was. all of cullens optimus voices since 1988 ish has been the live action movie grand general/kingly voice

not to say i hate that voice, it is an amazing voice and fits well with the versions of the character it’s lended to, but i miss happy prime give him back

Bumblebee Art - Synthesis Wars

So finally, here's my own design!

I really love the horns, but the antennas can be exploited for emotional responses, but I made them spiky like his previous horns.

Actually, in the fic, he explains that he used to have a pair of horns, however, upon arriving to Earth, one got damaged due to the landing, and a few years later the other broke. So he made himself a pair of antennas since he didn't remember exactly how the horns looked and one human that was his driver for a while called him Bumblebee due to a buzzing sound his motor made.

Here's the full version:

I'm still designing his full body, so that one will take a time for now. I'll be releasing more human characters (two to be exact) before his full design. Also here's the link of the fic if you want to read it!

I'm finally free! Now onwards designing Prowl's face! (No, I won't do a choose your Prowl image)

(585): I am the image of restraint, it’s why im just hungover and not in the hospital

[suzieloveships]

I don't care Bumblebee takes place in the 1987, Sally Watson is a terrible mother. How are you a nurse who clearly care about your daughter physical health (gave a helmet as a birthday gift) but don't care that she is slowly turning into a zombie.

"Oh, but it's the 80's, people don't care about mental health now, let along back then"

I don't care! I think it's human decency to at least be a little concern when my child stop smiling and participate in her hobbies ever since her father, my husband, died. But maybe that is just me.

For me an ideal Bumblebee ending will always going to be Charlie saying "screw them" and driving off with Bee, joining the Autobots and becoming Ratchet's apprentice (she is a mechanic, she practically knows the basics)

Fuck collage, if I found out that my car is actually a cute robot from another planet, who is strong and very protective over me, but also treats me like a gentleman and made my feel alive for the first time in a very long time, I'm stopping to care about human stuff. I'm joining that space civil war.

BumbleBee 2

Written by @prince-toffee (me!)

Foreword: - Well, friends, it's been a long time comin'. I'd been writing this fan script for years, and have been battling this and the previous infernal laptop in trying to somehow get a link to work for the past year or so. And finally, I've figured it out. To give you a reference, I finished it around Rise of The Beasts. But hopefully it all works now.

A little background on this project, up until recently, Bee'18 had been my favourite movie of all time. It brought me so much joy and hope. It showed us that these movies can be good, charming, and genuine. I felt the love letter to the fans in its DNA, and it inspired me. Here laid proof that these movies can be more than blockbuster slop, full of college dudebro humour, racist caricatures, pro-USmilitary propaganda, and perverse male fantasies. Here stood a movie with a heart, genuine, made by someone who genuinely loved this franchise as much as we did. Someone who didn't mock the audience, the source material, and spat in our faces. Here stood before me a movie that wasn't just good on a critical level, but on a moral one too. I loved it. So much so that I decided to write a fan sequel to it. Dethroned only by Transformers One.

And it turns out I really like writing screenplays, huh, who knew, it's technically my first one, so it's a tad crude, no doubt. But it's made with 100% genuine love. And now that I know how to actually share these, I'm definitely going to make more.

Above this foreword is the link to the full script on Imgur. I truly hope you enjoy, and feel the love through your screen the same way I did with Bee'18. And please, please, please, let me know what you think - comments are what we fanfic writers live for. Let me know what you thought, I'd love to see what you have to say, both new and old fans. I'd love to have some fun conversations in the comments. Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful day :)
