This is probably the messiest sketch/doodle I've ever drawn and in general I don't like posting sketches but as soon as I read the post I just had to draw something!

Might make a better one later down the line ... who knows!

Hear me Out.

Hear Me Out.

Onyx Prime Sitting Like A Deer.

Picture for if you somehow don't know how a deer sits:

Just Him Sitting Like this, because ya know a Centaur and Everything.

Well this is sad and disappointing hear.

Galvatron’s Revenge=Ruined

I have some bad news.

Galvatron’s Revenge just posted a video announcing the VA for Optimus who is the most racist and homophobic person in the Transformers fandom I know. When told about who they had hired, Galvatron’s Revenge’s creator firmly defended him. This VA attacked me and UltraPrimal in 2021 and wrote on Twitter (now suspended) that POC and LGBTQ+ people should die. How could anyone allow such a disgusting person to star in their project? My YouTube comment which may be deleted, explains who their VA for Optimus is:

In response to another comment against the VA, the creator of the TFP fan project Galvatron’s Revenge said:

The creator sees no problem with the VA’s blatantly bigoted and hostile behaviour.

If you pay Galvatron’s Revenge, you pay an atrocious person. This is a tweet from the VA himself. This is a small taste and there had been worse:

G.R.’s creator is deleting comments in their video about the VA. They are erasing evidence of how horrible this VA is. A person who doxxes people, attacks minorities… What they call valid political opinions are awful. These “opinions” are anti human rights and hate speech I have not called out other creators before. But I am creating my own Transformers Prime fan project and I had respected this fan project that had been in production longer than mine. They are now hiring a voice actor who has harassed me. Now that is one thing, but this VA has posted the most vile things about minorities and gone out to attack them. Galvatron’s Revenge’s creator DEFENDED this person even while fully aware of what he has done Galvatron’s Revenge is part of the problem. This is unacceptable.

NEVER in my right mind would I work with such a person. If I had a racist/homophobic person on my team, I would refuse to pay them or have them associated with me. I would not defend them for a bloody second. Galvatron’s Revenge, you have lost a lot of respect this day.

Fantasy Guide to Building A Culture

Culture is defined by a collection of morals, ethics, traditions, customs and behaviours shared by a group of people.

Hierarchy and Social Structures

Within every culture, there is a hierarchy. Hierarchies are an important part of any culture, usually do ingrained that one within the culture wouldn't even question it. Hierarchy can be established either by age, gender or wealth and could even determine roles within their society. Sometimes hierarchy can may be oppressive and rigid whilst other times, ranks can intermingle without trouble. You should consider how these different ranks interact with one another and whether there are any special gestures or acts of deference one must pay to those higher than them. For example, the Khasi people of Meghalaya (Northern India), are strictly matriarchal. Women run the households, inheritance runs through the female line, and the men of the culture typically defer to their mothers and wives. Here are a few questions to consider:

How is a leader determined within the culture as a whole and the family unit?

Is the culture matriarchal? Patriarchal? Or does gender even matter?

How would one recognise the different ranks?

How would one act around somebody higher ranking? How would somebody he expected to act around somebody lower ranking?

Can one move socially? If not, why? If so, how?

Traditions and Customs

Traditions are a staple in any culture. These can be gestures or living life a certain way or to the way a certain person should look. Traditions are a personal detail to culture, they are what make it important. Tradition can dictate how one should keep their home, run their family, take care of their appearance, act in public and even determine relationship. Tradition can also be a double edged sword. Traditions can also be restrictive and allow a culture to push away a former member if they do not adhere to them, eg Traditional expectations of chastity led to thousands of Irish women being imprisoned at the Magdelene Laundries. Customs could be anything from how one treats another, to how they greet someone.

How important is tradition?

What are some rituals your culture undertakes?

What are some traditional values in your world? Does it effect daily life?

Are there any traditions that determine one's status?

Values and Opinions

Values and Opinions are the bread and butter of any culture. This is the way your culture sees the world and how they approach different life hurdles. These may differ with other cultures and be considered odd to outsiders, what one culture may value another may not and what opinion another holds, one may not. There will be historical and traditional reasons to why these values and opinions are held. Cultures usually have a paragon to which they hold their members to, a list of characteristics that they expect one to if not adhere to then aspire to. The Yoruba people value honesty, hard work, courage and integrity. Here are some questions to consider?

How important are these ethics and core values? Could somebody be ostracised for not living up to them?

What are some morals that clash with other cultures?

What does your culture precieved to be right? Or wrong?

What are some opinions that are considered to be taboo in your culture? Why?

Dress Code

For many cultures, the way somebody dresses can be important. History and ethics can effect how one is meant to be dressed such as an expectation of chastity, can impose strict modesty. While other cultures, put more importance on details, the different sorts of clothes worn and when or what colour one might wear. The Palestinian people (من النهر إلى البحر ، قد يكونون أحرارا) denoted different family ties, marriage status and wealth by the embroidery and detailing on their thoub.

Are there traditional clothes for your world? Are they something somebody wears on a daily basis or just on occasion?

Are there any rules around what people can wear?

What would be considered formal dress? Casual dress?

What would happen if somebody wore the wrong clothes to an event?

Language

Language can also be ingrained as part of a Culture. It can be a specific way one speaks or a an entirely different language. For example, in the Southern States of America, one can engage in a sort of double talk, saying something that sounds sweet whilst delivering something pointed. Bless their heart. I have a post on creating your own language here.

Arts, Music and Craft

Many cultures are known for different styles of dance, their artwork and crafts. Art is a great part of culture, a way for people to express themselves and their culture in art form. Dance can be an integral part of culture, such as céilí dance in Ireland or the Polka in the Czech Republic. Handicrafts could also be important in culture, such as knitting in Scottish culture and Hebron glass in Palestine. Music is also close to culture, from traditional kinds of singing such as the White Voice in Ukraine and the playing of certain instruments such as the mvet.

Food and Diet

The way a culture prepares or intakes or treats certain foods are important to a culture. In some cultures, there is a diet yo adhere to, certain foods are completely banned. With Jewish culture, pork is prohibited along with fish such as sturgeon, along with shellfish and certain fowl. Meat must also be prepared in a certain way and animal byproducts such as dairy, must never be created or even eaten around this meat. This is known as kosher. The way one consumes food is also important to culture. In some cultures, only certain people may eat together. Some cultures place important on how food is eaten. In Nigerian culture, the oldest guests are served first usually the men before the women. In Japanese culture, one must say 'itadakimasu' (I recieve) before eating. Culture may also include fasting, periods of time one doesn't intake food for a specific reason.

What are some traditional dishes in your world?

What would be a basic diet for the common man?

What's considered a delicacy?

Is there a societal difference in diet? What are the factors that effect diet between classes?

Is there any influence from other cuisines? If not, why not? If so, to what extent?

What would a typical breakfast contain?

What meals are served during the day?

What's considered a comfort food or drink?

Are there any restrictions on who can eat what or when?

Are there any banned foods?

What stance does your world take on alcohol? Is it legal? Can anybody consume it?

Are there any dining customs? Are traditions?

Is there a difference in formal meals or casual meals? If so, what's involved?

Are there any gestures or actions unacceptable at the dinner table?

How are guests treated at meals? If they are given deference, how so?

Rebloging for the sake of ✨HISTORY✨

The Transformers Prime movie is out today. If you go to Walmart and buy a figure along with the movie, you get $5 off. Go now.

[rose-the-bot]

Me and my friends are playing a homebrew TTRPG and one of my character's lowest stats is in stealth.

Mechanically it's because she's a wisdom/intelligence based character.

But the in universe canon reason is that she's a tefling... with hoves.

[rose-the-bot]

Had a friend tell me (jokingly of course)

"it's kinda sus you want to romance Halsin"

My guy. you don't hear me saying that wanting to bone a living corpse is "sus" do ya?

I get the thirst for vampires, I do. but I'm a lycanthrope/shapeshifter girly alright?

Pluss I like em big and chunky ;)

[rose-the-bot]

I guess that's the sad part about the show. it's alright but everyone knows I could have been better...

Fun (not really) fact about my first time watching the first episode of season one came out

[paraphrasing for simplicity]

Ep1 Strongarm: it's strange that you, a war hero, only got promoted to lieutenant officer bumblebee sir

Me: yeah probably because the council is full of evil cons lol

A few seasons latter in the last few episodes..

Team bee: the council is full of Evil cons!?

Me: oh come on!

Finally finished rid 15 and it sure felt like a chore

They had an idea for an interesting plot but somehow they decided to only use it for the last 3 episodes when if played right it could have been an interesting overarching idea for the whole shows run time instead of pretending like yeah totally that was the plan from the start!

It's a shame that they turned it in to (recolored*) con of the week instead because it was otherwise competently made with cute designs and likeable enough characters (bumblebee being possessed by the spirit of smokescreen not withstanding)

Hell even that could have worked with a bit of tweaking you were so close to being actually good ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

*I am not particularly upset about them reusing models because it's expensive to animate new ones and it makes sense for transformers anyway

[rose-the-bot]

Personal head canons:

Some bots are able to "let go" of big parts of their body (arms, legs ect) like salamanders to either make a quick escape or... to beat someone with their limb if no other tools are available. Also some parts are connected through magnetic so they can easily remove say an ankle guard and use it the same way an Abuela uses a Sandal.

Cybertronians "breath" only to regulate body temperature so yes they can start panting after intense trening because they will pretty much start burning on the inside if they don't (ow)

The vents on their sides or on their heads ect is what they actual use to "breathe" and "smell" not through their mouth or "nose".

They can definitely purr.

Not enough freak anatomy in transformers interpretations

THEY ARE ALIENS DONT BE BORING W IT PLEASE

from general to horror to nsfw

THERE ARE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES TO MAKE THESE GUYS INTERESTING AND NOT JUST HUMAN IF CAR

[rose-the-bot]

Sweet! Thank you for the info, I'll try and seek these out later 😄

So tfa Megatron is very distinctly of the belief that fate, destiny, and purpose rule supreme as enforced by the cosmos. Everything is predetermined, what is meant to be will be, he does not believe in luck.

From the Allspark Almanac, we also know that Cybertron has its own zodiac and horoscopes that go with them.

Conclusion: There is a nonzero chance Megatron is secretly, or even not-so-secretly, an astrology whore and we kinda just have to live with that.

Quick question:

Are these canon transformers constellations?

Or is the images just visual aid?

List of solo transformers movies that I would have loved to see but that will never happen...

Probably turn it into a fanfiction instead.

"On The Trail" a prowl and jazz buddy cop movie taking place in 90's Hawaii. prowl has found a new lead on one of his old cold cases, jazz helps him figure out who done it (it was barricade)

"Spark Eater" a classic sci-fi horror inspired movie following a motley Crue of Autobot supply runners that have to deal with a monster that has broken into their ship.

"The Wreckers" follows the origin story of how the group was formed. A hand full of autobots and decepticons are thrown into Overlords "Pit" to hunt and fight echother to the death for the entertainment of the decepticon elites. But a small alliance is formed of friends and foe alike to take the fight up to them.

"Caminus" a post-apocalypse/political intrigue movie following the city speaker Windblade on a mission to save her home and titan from a mysterious disease that is affecting the last city.

"Drift" A classic ronin inspired flick taking place in modern day Japan that follows the origin story of the ex-con turned noble wandering warrior.

"Elite Squad" a war movie about Elita One and her squad desperately fighting on the home front of Cybertron. Sabotaging shockwaves plans at every turn. Will they find a way to contact Optimus? Or more importantly will they be able to hold out long enough for his return?

(The gifs are just for visuals)

What solo movie ideas do y'all have for transformers that you know Hasbro would never do? Would love to hear it!
