#transformers rant

[sparkden8]

Random rant but B-127's story in TFONE is actually so sad, like they left him in a small dark room, forced him to be alone and then assigned him to sort through trash as a job like-

No wonder he felt so lonely and got excited about having new friends, for them to then be annoyed by him 😭

LIKE HE BUILT FAKE FRIENDS BECAUSE HE WAS LONELY 🥲

The TFONE B-127 angst ive seen is actually insane-

TFE RANT (also spoilers)

Okay, so for those of you who haven't heard of Transformers Earth Spark, it's basically a show where the cybertronian War is technically over and now cybertronians are trying to get used to the life on earth. But they are completely treated like they are animals. If you want to watch the show yourself then go right ahead it should be on Amazon Prime or on Paramount Plus because this will contain spoilers for the first season and the 2nd season so feel free to skip this.

ANYWAY!

So all of you know the Decepticons right?

👆

These guys?

Well, near the end of the last episode of season 1 of Earth Spark they all decided to work together with the Decepticons to take down mandroid, the main antagonist of season 1. There was also two episodes where one of the Decepticons started to have a relationship with the Malto family. Like for example

Nightshade and tarantulas:

And Starscream and hashtag:

See how these two GIFs are completely wholesome? Infact, the first season teaches that even though somebody could be on the opposite side of things that doesn't initially mean that they are a bad guy completely, just misunderstood.

It teaches that everyone can have a second chance if they really try but not everyone can really get that second chance.

And then season 2 comes around,

And BOY was I pissed off about it.

Now I haven't watched season 2 myself but I have watched one episode in it and that's it. remember that I said that the Decepticons finally decided to fight Mandroid thanks to Twitch and that some of the Terrans actually had some decent relationships with some of the Decepticons?

Well season two just completely THROWS ALL OF IT OUT OF THE FUCKING WINDOW!!!

When I watch season 2 I thought it was going to be all cool and hype and I thought everyone was just overreacting over season 2. NOPE! THEY HAD THE RIGHT TO BE UPSET! Because one episode in and I was immediately flashed banged with shock. Robby was explaining after 2 years of like saving cybertronians from Mandroid's destruction the quintus prime Stone (I don't remember what it's called) kind of shattered into like thousands of pieces across the globe. He then says that the Decepticons help them to retrieve them but then they decided to turn on them and get the shards for themselves. EVEN THOUGH THE FIRST SEASON SAID THAT NOT ALL DECEPTICONS ARE BAD!!

Like where did this even come from!? And why make them back into villains when we already saw the shot of them HELPING TWITCH AND HER FAM FROM KILLING ALL CYBERTRONIANS!? Like, what is the point of this!? If you're just going to make them bad guys anyway, why give the Terrans a chance to understand them and sympathize with the 'cons!? You had such a good new take on the Transformers yet you decided to throw away that said good take and just take it back to square one!

WHAT THE HELL HASBRO!?

*SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

And don't get me started with Bumblebee's relationship with Breakdown. You clearly set them up to be best buddies and then you just set that friendship arc on fire and just went on the 'Con vs 'Bot arc again. But the part that pisses me off the most is Starscream's abandon arc. Earthspark *clearly* wanted to make this Starscream as sympathetic as possible and this could have worked well. IF THEY DIDNT MAKE HIM THE MAIN VILLIAN IN SEASON 2!

And I guess prowl appearing in season 3 is kind of nice but it would have been better if he was like the villain instead of Starscream. If they were going to be good Decepticons then there has to be bad Autobots. But hey, Hasbro isnt keen on keeping promises are you Hasbro?

God, you had such a good idea and you just had to ruin it with season 2 and 3. I hope the rumors of Earthspark getting canceled are true thanks to this.

Also, GIVE US A TRUELY, ACTUAL, HEROIC, SYMPATHETIC STARSCREAM FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! **AND DONT FUCK IT UP THIS TIME!!!**

Okay, I think I'm done for now, but I might add a part 2 if I decided to watch the rest of season 2 and season 3.

K bye!

im like.... The biggest hyorocrite in the transformers fandom.

i hate Megastar (Megatron x Starscream), I even got the tags blocked.

Yet I ship Megatron x Optimus and Starscream x Bee,, like those aren't better than Megastar.😭😭😭

I'm the king of transformers hypocrisy now. Nobody shall take my crown from me. Thank you...

little rant about Transformers: Cyberworld

Yall, hear me out..

I just watched ep 1 cus it got releaced in my native language, and bro, this shi have potential.

1- silly goofy optimus? We got it

2- Bee acthing like a silly teen? We got it

3- Cool New designs concepts? We fucking got it

4- weirdly nice and mysterious lore? WE GOT IT

Tbh i fell like this series is just like rescue bots, bot bots and cyberverse, something more childish, but not bad

Ik the fandom is going to hate this series brutally, but bro, in the situation we are rn, with our dear skybound being fucked, Michel bay coming back, no transformers 1 continuation.. we must accept anything and stop being ungrateful tbh, the series are visibly not bad, it cleary has a good hidden lore.

And, in the frekin frist episode they made refrence to 2 memes 😭🙏

This shi have potential bro. It has

[lara-prism-light]

Nobody asked but I'm going to say it anyway.

The reason I've never been interested in Megop is not because I don't like the ship (specifically now that I've watched TF One), the real reason is the over-infantilization of Optimus/Orion Pax.

For some reason this fandom likes to infantilize him and that always bothered me. I don't have a problem with different interpretations in ships, fics and AUs, but I always found it strange that OP is always presented as extremely innocent on a childish level.

Like, he's practically a grown man and acts like one in EVERY continuity! Yeah, in the Aline continuity it says in the books that he was shy and awkward before becoming a Prime, but that's not the same as "uwu gay boy"!

This honestly turned me off a lot from the ship, SPECIFICALLY Prime Megop!

Can we have like, Megop but both act like adults?? Can we just have the ship where Optimus acts like a mature and serious character??

Again, nothing against reinterpretations, I just think this infantilization of the OP is very pointless and almost kind of ruins the ships involving him(yeah, that goes for other ships involving him too!)

It's ok to make him awkward and shy, we've seen that in Animated and Cyberverse and it works really well! But please, can we stop with the infantilization? This is getting to a point where it's uncomfortable!

I feel like I need to write a paper and legit do research at this point. Like I need to understand this phenomenon that keeps happening with my favorite shows.

Ok so I watched the first episode of EarthSpark and wasn’t exactly sold on the presentation but the premise was enough to keep me watching more. Next thing I know this show has pushed me tumbling down the stairs and back into the Transformers fandom. Like I watched all of season 1 in two days. I enjoyed the show that much. Then it took me two weeks to watch season 2.

Like the tone shift of the first episode of season 2 gave me a migraine. It just felt like so many of the messages and themes of season 1 were forgotten for, “the Decepticons are the bad guys, make them do bad stuff”. I honestly went into season 2 thinking we were gonna get the “good decepticons” joining Megatron since ghost was no longer being evil and the “bad decepticons” were gonna join Shockwave cause mans a syco. Spoiler that’s not what happened and I barely got through it.

Then I watch season 3 and my fight or flight response instantly went away. Seeing Breakdown talking like season 1 Breakdown again cleared my pores and watered my plants. And spoilers but the betrayal in that episode made sense! The Decepticons were acting like people again instead of evil drones! If it wasn’t for the fact that the stuff that happened in season 2 actually mattered in season 3 I would’ve thought it all just some weird fever dream.

I’m also just so confused by the episode count. 25 for season 1 but season 2 and 3 don’t even get into the double digits? Idk what’s happening behind the scenes there but that’s just crazy.

I have so many other little complaints (don’t get me started on Screamer) and also praises (stealth jet cat ears soundwave gives me life) but I don’t want this to turn into a legit rant I’m just so confused. Like so many of the shows I watch just have a random terrible season that makes me angry and want to quit watching. Like I’m watching Cyberverse rn and the 5 episode long battle at the beginning of season 3 is killing me! I can’t even explain it but my brain hurts.

Guys, I have a feeling on my mind lately that I needed to speak out...

I don't Like Elita One and Blackarachnia being the same person, look. I gets it, she's supposed to be dark, attractive, and tragic after what happened to Arachna seven. But seriously, if I want a tragic yet attractive and dark storyline for Elita one? I prefer the Skybound's version of Elita one. She's Tragic, dark with a reasonable crash out, Spoiler for Skybound comics at the bottom.

Who is desperate for Optimus to save them while joining sides with Shockwave as he experiments and does war crimes. No kidding, if I was wrong then I need to reread Skybound again. Like seriously, Look at This Image and Tell me this isn't as dark while Elita Begged Optimus to not destroy their plans to save Cybertron while sacrificing earth!

But Here!?

Here are all variations of her canonical designs in Transformers Animated.

She has a Different Colour scheme and designs than the regular Elita one so why not Change Her name!? Just change her name then that's it, sure she's not the usual love interest that everyone knows about from previous generations but if she's a different person and character then People would view her differently and probably make other versions of her like. New Bot, new character with similarities but different nonetheless. I don't want Elita-1 as a villain to be Sexy, seductive and evil for what happened to her in TFA. She's Tragic and Sexy, yes, but that doesn't excuse her for my opinion and criticism against her.

She will be renamed Atena-4 for now in my version. If you call her Elita-1 then I don't mind, just a pet peeve of mine.

She's Named after the Greek God Athena. There's a story that goes the origins of Arachnid in Greek mythology, WHOM got turned into a spider via Athena. While Number 4 represents Athena's lucky number, it would be if the writers parallel each story of the Spiders and Goddesses so why couldn't they!? There's even a moral of selfishness, pridefulness and jealousy so it fits perfectly for Blackarachnia's traits filled with scorn and venom. If only the writers at least make original characters for once rather than reusing names...

I don't Hate Blackarachnia as a character in TFA, I just dislike the fact that she's known as Elita-one.

guys, I'm watching Transformers: Prime for the first time and, I'm sorry but Ultra Magnus is giving me such an ick rn.

like, I appreciate a man who's all about following the rules, sometimes by-the-book is a great way of doing stuff (especially if the book was heavily influenced by our dear Optimus) but he just seems so like akshjdgsks?? I don't even really know how to describe it

he just seems really dismissive of everyone he views as even slightly less than him, whether that be professionally or otherwise

like he treats the humans with what I can only describe as distain, he's so pressed about the rules it's like he forgets this is an entirely alien species, they're not gonna know the socially correct way to interact with you, bro, they're from a different planet

and the way he doesn't bother learning any of their names? I feel like it's kinda obvious these little guys are really important to the rest of team Prime but he won't even refer to them by the name of their species let alone trying to know them individually

and I guess I can excuse that for now, you know, I get there's a lot going on at the moment what with Optimus and Smokescreen missing and Megatron chilling in his kickass fortress but I hope he tries to learn them later at least

also, what's with the attitude towards Bulkhead and Wheeljack? I mean, he says the word "wrecker" like it's a damn slur

these guys have survived years fighting Megatron and the decepticons, they're one of the few groups left and two significant members of their team are wreckers and Ultra Magnus doesn't even consider that their tactics and abilities may have had a hand in helping the group fight and survive. he acts like they're wild animals he needs to wrangle so they can be of any use

idk guys, he got the bearings of a good leader, I've obviously only known him for a few episodes, maybe him being a lil funny is gonna be part of a character arc idk, but I'm just not vibing with him rn

Okay.

Another Transformers One “Rant”

For those who are disappointed in the trailer for the movie coming out in September….

It’s okay not to like it, but it’s not okay to wine and wine about it.

Grow up, shut up and move on. We get enough negativity already with what’s happening in the world right now.

You should be more worried about a possible WORLD WAR HAPPENING! Or your family!

So, put on your big girl/boy pants and go see “The Wild Robot” instead, no one gives a crap if you see “Transformers One” or not!

Thanks.

(Guys, be the stronger person and do not engage the negativity.)

Ahora estoy pensando en hacer un video...

Pero siendo en serio, yo no sabia que habia este tipo de peleas en la comunidad de Transformers, aunque sí debí haberlo esperado ya que TF es un producto bastante viejo y su fandom igual, asi que habra gente que tenga versiones favoritas o se pegue más a la nostalgia.

Aun así, todo se termina cuando recuerdas que TF es solo otro producto que fue hecho para vender juguetes y eso es todo lo que le importa a Hasbro. Hasbro no se va a detener a pensar ¨unmm y ahora como Re imagino esta franquicia para que deje una marca importante y de enseñanzas buenas y que sea profunda¨, no, en realidad va a ser ¨bueno caballeros, el producto reciente de TF que se lanzó no fue rentable, así que cancelen este producto de Transformers que sigue en emision, me hacen uno nuevo pero rápido¨.

Comprendo y entiendo a la fanaticada que dice que Transformers si llega a tratar temas serios, tanto sociales como políticos, siendo como subtramas y al centrarse en la guerra de Autobots contra Decepticons, pero al final del dia, eso es solo algo que le importa a la fanaticada y a algunos autores, a las empresas que manejan la licencia del producto no.

Tengo algunas teorías como pensamientos sobre como la fanaticada actúa cada vez que sale un nuevo producto de Transformers y como a medio de su emisión las opiniones cambian drasticamente. Aunque no es algo solo de este fandom, pasa en cualquier fandom también.

Aunque si me sigue siendo extraño tenerlo que ver, ya que bueno yo soy de una generación diferente que creció con Rescue Bots que era transmitido por el canal 5 XD.

Pero bueno, nada mas queria decir eso y ya, aunque, puede que si debería explicarme mejor.

[stinger-shot]

Does anyone else just refuse to finish tfp or is it just me?

I litterly have 2 episodes to go then I'm finished but i dont want to finish it! I just keep rewatching episodes!!

Especially the synth-N episode...

I just don't wanna finish it! I wish there was more tfp..

[averagecontentenjoyer121]

This man enrages me every time a new Transformers movie comes out that isn’t made by Micheal Bay, he NEEDS to learn that not every movie has to connect back to the bayverse.

He’s recently made a claim that Transformers One is a prequel to the Micheal Bay films, which it isn’t

First off the whole of Cybertron looks nothing like it does in the bay films. In One it looks like a planet you can actually live in, also there is a whole surface area which doesn’t exist in the Micheal Bay films.

What could be the Quintessons in Age Of Extinction once again look completely different.

Sentinel Prime, Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, especially Elita look different

You’re telling me these is the same character

Also in the Bayverse comics Elita, Optimus, and Megatron are said to be followers of Sentinels teachings. Doesn’t look like sentinel’s gonna teach much in One getting tied up by the Quintesson.

It’s the same thing with Rise of the Beast Lorenzo claimed it was a part of the Bayverse continuity even though there were glaring continuity errors. The biggest one being the planet eater Unicron. In The Last Knight Unicron is the earth in Rise of the Beasts his floating somewhere is space eating planets.

A transformers rant

I saw a video by emperor kumkwat on YouTube that said that the original 2007 spotlight arcee comic was “transphobic” for the stupidest reason.

emperor kumkwat said that it was “transphobic” because of the fact that arcee had her gender changed against her will. Apparently it was “making transitioning look scary” and “could damage people’s ideas of trans people”.

false

it was only the fact that it was done to arcee against her will that made it scary. If she wanted it, it would have seemed less scary. Anything can be scary if it is done to you against your will. And I don’t know how that comic would turn people transphobic? Anybody who reads it will probably know not to judge people who want it willingly. The comic isn’t telling people to hate them.

I couldn’t blame Simon furman for hating the female transformers when they first became a thing. The original ones were these 3 identical looking transformers that all acted the same and were much shorter than the male transformers. Female transformers are cool now, but not back in the 80s lol.

[plumderland]

i love transformers. i love how there’s so many continuities and storylines within a single franchise. i love the more phological aspects of it. the deception regime formed as a retaliation against a deeply and irrevocably flawed government that was intently racist and classist.

that in and of itself is so beyond intriguing to me and i love when continuities explore that to show how a rebellion grew to be even more oppressive than that which it was rebelling against.

[lara-prism-light]

People in the reblogs and comments simply DO NOT get the point of this post!

Guys, let's not act like complete toxic waste jugs and be assholes to fans of Opilita AND Elita herself??

Why the fuck do you guys have to keep attacking MLW ships?? Look, I love MLM ships more than anyone, but can you stop being so toxic with straight ships???

Straight ships are not the end of the world, I grew up with straight ships, I know when to spot a good one! It's very frustrating not to attack the women on these ships!!

Just for people referring to Opilita fans as "terrorists", go fuck yourself! You're not a true Megop fan! Megop fans shouldn't attack Opilita fans because of the ship!

This is just like that story I heard a few months ago about a lesbian artist doing an MLM ship and people attacking them for no reason!

Let people ship whatever they want! As long as it's not hurtful or problematic, it's okay! Oplita is a valid ship, don't let a bunch of jerks on the internet intimidate you into not liking the ship!

And don't let anyone talk bad about you for liking Elita! She's amazing and you have every right to like her!

*taps the sign*

We love MLM but we will RESPECT AND VALUE WOMEN ON THIS BLOG!!!!
