Was underwhelmed by the designs of their alt modes in the Lost Light issues, so I took it as an opportunity to practice (random notes below)

I JUST FIGURED SOMETHING OUT PERTAINING TO MTMTE 16'S COVER

(mtmte 15-16 and dabbled with a bit of 32 spoilers with 1 image of graphic imagery ahead)

this is the (33.57% accurate) issue 15 cover. very grotesque. magnus is currently literally getting his gut punched and drift has a sword sticking out of his helm and i cannot begin to imagine the blade at the end sticking out of his face.

i only pointed out those two details for two reasons:

1. they're the only ones dead in the cover

2. they both go through severe consequences during the current and next issue

and a secret third one, which is me theorizing and connecting how they died in issue 32, but i won't get into that

where i was going with this was this just... foreshadows that they sacrifice themselves in some sort of way, i guess??

i wanted to make this longer because i cannot bear to use the cut without having ten paragraphs below, but here we are!

I just spent the day at Tfcon with my best friend as Ratchet(Me) and Drift(my best friend) and had an amazing time! Everyone was so incredibly sweet, we got to meet a lot of the artists who drew for the comics of the transformers world, the other cosplayers and fans were so kind, and all the vendors were so nice! Love this community to death, some of the nicest people I've ever met!

drift is depicted to be much shorter anyway and ratchet's taller than him in canon in like, one panel, atleast from what i've seen in EoS

although, inconsistencies do happen...

okay tf fandom i have a question cuz this has bugged me for YEARS. confused rant incoming.

ratchet’s alt is an ambulance. i mean, obviously. BUT — ambulances are rather large regardless of alt mode origin, like earth or cybertron.

now i know a lot of people like to draw or depict drift (and/or other characters) as being the same height or taller than ratchet. which is fair, and i’ve seen so much absolutely lovely art!

but what do ambulances do? they transport.

now, is ratchet’s alt designed to transport cybertronians? on earth, when they take on an earth vehicle form, presumably not. however, i think i remember an g1 ep where either ratchet (or ironhide??) load and transport one of the minibots in their alt mode.

so is his earth mode still capable of cybertronian transport, even if only one of a minicon / minibot size? and going off of that, was that the same back on cybertron — he could transport, but only those of a particular size? or does he have some kind of mass displacement drive, either one he can utilize on his patients or himself?

am i just overthinking this or missing some obvious fact? (probably.)

conclusion :: if ratchet can transport cybertronians in his alt mode, it stands to reason that he would be of a certain bulk and height. aka, he would be taller than drift — who has a sports car alt (even if drift’s alt is modded and muscled.) anyway, it’s always seemed to me that because of this, their size difference should be reversed.

all this to say — i would love to see drift as a small, slender, will o’ the wisp thing in comparison to ratchet’s bulk.

please share your thoughts!

(also, someone please let me know if this seems inaccurate, or if i’m missing something. thank you <33)

— • edit :: this is purely from my own personal viewpoint !! there is nothing wrong with different depictions of ratchet and/or drift — that’s part of what makes fandom so fun to be in !! keep drawing, writing, etc., all variations of media and your favorite characters are welcome here. <33 • —
