Optimus hearing one of the kids say they need to do historical research or some archive stuff and he just runs over because this was what he was made for

What absolutely bonkers is that I could have sworn I posted this???

So, I tried to watch Galvatron Revenge, I have not survived 5 minute in the film. I was confused by the animation and compositions.

The animations are terrible, there was no attempt at rendering (yes, I am getting a 3d animation degree. I can judge my friends). The uv? What's that? Lights? Ah, you mean full light! Details? Nah. What are those???

To me It looks like a B class game! We did better games and animations in university with little less.

Story? It doesn't make sense. First, I was pretty sure that HotRod (Rodimus) storyline was used for Smokescreen: so we have two characters that are the same. Optimus back to life?? It was the reason Rid 2015 was hated so much. Also, Galvatron coming back? Why so? I think they both deserved their ends at the time, but I gave it half a chance.

Arcee writing? What is that? Tf in the '80 and TF in the '80 was even Less sexist at this point, *porcone italian style*

Composition. Oh man. Don't make me start. 

Some of them are ok, but not as memorable, they work terribly cause of the lack of lights! The drama, the darks and lights?? The colors of the lights?? It's so... Uh, flat.

Animation? Maybe the face rig doesn't work as bad, but the rest? Oh man, it is horrible. 

They are stiff. I know that they are robots, but they lack something, the middle between action that many 3d animations do.

Well, Optimus VC too, but people seem to already talk about it.

Not only talk about the money, no DVD is going to be given, but, also, it's a big fucking scam. And will pass as the most horrendous film, even as a fan film. If not the worst scam in transformers history and how will leave a mark to TF prime and in TF History.

I always headcanoned that Jack Darby played lacrosse. I got this idea after watching Teen Wolf, where the main character, Scott McCall, starts as an average high school student and a lackluster member of his school's lacrosse team. At the beginning of the series, Scott is unremarkable—he struggles with the game and doesn't stand out much. However, after being turned into a werewolf and drawn into the supernatural world, Scott’s leadership qualities begin to shine. He grows into a confident and capable leader, eventually becoming the captain of the lacrosse team, a position that mirrors his role guiding his friends and allies through the threats in Beacon Hills.

This character arc made me imagine something similar for Jack. Just like Scott is thrust into the supernatural, Jack gets pulled into the world of the Cybertronians. Optimus Prime himself recognizes Jack's potential, even entrusting him with the Key to Vector Sigma—a significant responsibility coming from a Prime. Ratchet even mentions that Optimus (back when he was Orion Pax) was a lot like Jack. This parallel got me thinking: what if Jack's journey toward leadership was mirrored on the lacrosse field?

Throughout the show, Optimus could have shared wisdom and guidance with Jack about leadership, teaching him to navigate both his responsibilities in the Team Prime and the challenges of being a team player and leader on the field. Jack would start as a struggling, average athlete—someone overlooked, like Scott—but grow into someone who inspires his teammates, just as he steps up to help the Autobots. Seeing him balance these roles, overcoming his fears and doubts both in the human world and on the Cybertronian conflict could have been a fantastic way to showcase his development into a strong, confident leader.

Its so disgusting that he out of all ppl is the VA for THE OPTIMUS PRIME, absolute disgrace

Also i remember watching clips of unrendered version of it months ago and Arcee was oddly sexualized in it like there was a scene were Arcee was at the mercy of a decepticon and he was leering at her and he said something like "such nice curves wasted on an autobot"

Prime Animations now realizing after years of being told that his Optimus Prime VA is a piece of shit, that his VA is a piece of shit.

Feel what you want to feel about Galvatron’s Revenge. I am tired. I’m posting this because people called me a liar years back and that there was no proof that Orbital Bacon (the VA) was terrible.

I was never jealous or bothered by another fan project.

The Optimus VA was spouting homophobic, transphobic, sexist, and racist shit. From general to personal when he called me and UltraPrimal groomers and you know what p word. The Optimus VA of Galvatron’s Revenge tried to harass my Discord server and made a podcast with lies about me. I tried to tell Prime Animations. What did he do? Deleted my comments and defended OB.

The Optimus VA of Galvatron’s Revenge is an actual Nazi who was caught on his podcast with a Nazi flag and calling biracial people disgusting. Prime Animations finally confirmed.

Do 👏you👏 believe 👏me👏now? 👏

(Also let’s not ignore the rumour that that $8000 dollars of donations to Galvatron’s Revenge went straight into the creator’s pocket. And people aren’t getting the DVDs they were promised for donating way back when)

I excluded Optimus and Ratchet because they interact with each of the humans a lot and also because they dont have a human charge

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.

I remembered this clip that I had it for a long time, for me one of the funniest scenes of grill. Let's see it was a compilation episode but I put in situation. What better way to check the state of the giant robot? Calling him is faster. So fast that you hear his footsteps coming in, without fowler even having lifted the shutter. The reactions of General Bryce and the soldier. The first impression of encountering a giant robot makes you fall to the ground in shock and even though the general was keeping it professional he was also shocked. This robot is telling you it's okay so calm while he could have a panic attack. I also like the fact that for example you are at home quietly and your favorite robot can look at you through the window calmly and give you a scare attack at the sight of him.

I found it so sweet that in the episode Toxic, Bulkhead was literally barely holding on and was literally almost dying. The only thing that kept him pushing was the thought of Miko 😭😭

I think we should talk more about the bond between TFP Miko and Bulkhead, because if you think about it, even though Miko, though never as helpful as Jack and Rafael for most of the show, could have been the best thing that ever happened to Bulkhead.

Before meeting her, Bulkhead was simply the muscle of the team, that was all. Ratchet and others had made a great point that Bulkhead could be the least intelligent of them all, and later in the show, when Bulkhead became wounded, we can see just how devastated he was that he couldn’t be the muscle anymore, as though he died completely and was merely a ghost now. This clearly shows that, to Bulkhead, his only useful quality is his muscle. There was nothing more to his own sense of identity. Just strong, and stupid. Furthermore, before the humans came, Bulkhead was the biggest troublemaker on the team. We’ve all seen how he’s been destroying everything he touched, and maybe, in his own eyes, his strength was the only reason why the team even kept him.

But when he’s with Miko, it’s different. To Miko, he’s a superstar, he’s the greatest of them all. He is strong, magnificent, a superhero, everything that Bulkhead probably had only ever dreamed to be. And he didn’t even need to do anything. He could just be himself, and Miko would already love him.

Not only that, Miko is also so reckless sometimes that she made Bulkhead reasonable and considerate in comparison, and Bulkhead actually sometimes became the one to have to do the guiding. Not only would this be refreshing for Bulkhead to finally be able to try out the leadership and guidance role himself, he got to also got to see, with his own eyes, how team still loved Miko despite all her mistakes and how she barely contributed anything directly. Thus, this could really reassured himself that, the team also genuinely loved him too, despite all his mistakes. Even if he didn’t have the strength he did strength.

Furthermore, Miko also paralleled Wheeljack, in more levels than one. But unlike Wheeljack, Miko would never judge Bulkhead in any life decisions he makes. And while Miko does sometimes judge and criticize him, it’s almost always only for the little things, that she only did because she was immature, and she would get over quick enough. And in no way will she ever leave him for it like Wheeljack did. I also headcanon that Miko, in a way, portrayed how Bulkhead wished Wheeljack would be.

And I think, though they ended up separating, Miko’s presence still left a long lasting influence on Bulkhead. Primarily because we see how, in the Predakons Rising epilogue, Bulkhead was seen instructing the Vehicons to rebuild some buildings. That scene really hit me with surprise because this showed how Optimus, and Bulkhead himself, had began to trust Bulkhead with leadership works. I mean we remembered from episode one that Bulkhead said Optimus never left him in command, right? Well now Optimus was. And I think this could be either because Optimus remembered how Bulkhead was able to lead Miko sometimes, the most troublesome soul ever, and Bulkhead himself probably also learned from those experience and had confidence in himself doing things he had never done before.

And that’s why he loved Miko so much, even if Miko was, for a while, just a troublemaker. And, I think, Bulkhead actually wouldn’t bond so well with her if she wasn’t as much of a troublemaker.

also I just got diagnosed with autism.

I love that in the TFP episode Nemesis Prime, the first thing Fowler did while the Autobots were aiming their weapons at Optimus, was protecting the kids in case Optimus did turn evil.

A little something about the Primes meeting with TFP Kids

Prima - although in general Prima dislikes humans because they are practically creations of Unicron, he sees potential in them, though Jack and Raf could work on self confidence, and Miko self restraint

Vector - same as Prima, but he does enjoy seeing humans grow and learn, quite often prefers Raf

Alpha - Sees Orion and his siblings in them, he's more than eager to teach them, and surprisingly tolerates Mikos antics "I had to raise a feral sparkling and keep an eye on my hyperactive bodyguard, I can take one size of a minicon"

Solus - she absolutely adores them - Especially Miko, she teaches them how to craft weapons but also little accessories. Made a smaller version of the forge for Miko to wield, and few other self defense weapons for them.

Micronus - He's happy to know there are those who are smaller than him, tries to teach miko to be more aware of her surroundings but ultimately fail, appreciates Jack and Rafs calmness.

Alchemist - off limits, the other primes don't let him near them on account of him letting 13 drink high grade, secretly helps them with chemistry.

Nexus - They along with Miko and Amalgomous Pranked the others one time and one time only, so no... Teaches the kids to cooperate/work better together as one.

Onyx - BABIES!!!! Carries them around, either on his back or his chest fluff, the kids don't mind it, he's surprisingly soft and fluffy. Has suprisingly kept Miko in line via their toe beans.

Amalgamous - You pit a Prankster with 3 troublemakers and you get utter chaos. They and Smokescreen tries to get Jack and Raf out of their shell and enjoy the adventure more.

Quintus - he is studying them like a bug under a microscope, enjoy watching the kids study and do their homework because he gets to learn as well.

Liege Maximo - Nope, just don't. He sees humans as below him and they see him as a total jackass.

Megatronus - keeps a distance but would gladly help them if they go to him for guidance. Gives ownership of the Apex armour to Miko and shows her some hidden features.

Anyone care to add?
