#I WAS SO UFCKING PARANOID

[itsokjuju]

say hi to squirrel's new gf

theyre happily dating in my tomodachi collection!!

[tfw-no-tennis]

mtmte liveblog issue 2

and moving right along w/the 2nd issue!

[sees cover w/skids] MY MAN!!!!

brainstorm calling himself the ‘ships genius’ and then rodimus mistaking him for multiple other people bc of this is hvbhjaksfbskfdl

love that rodimus is a self-recognized himbo. he doesn't know what a  science is and he doesn't care 

i love brainstorm callously joking about the duobot guy being killed horribly via generator melding...brainstorm ily 

and there's cyclonus! 

SKIIIIIIIDS

i fucking love the panel of skids saying ‘maybe I'm just being paranoid’ and in the background the words ‘YOU HAVENT ESCAPED THEYRE ALL AROUND YOU’ are carved into the wall....nice 

skids thinking his name is scum was funny until I had context, and now its just making me fucking SAD 

hbvahfjskfdbsajf rung praising ratchet, and ratchet being like oh thanks, excuse me a second- [hits hand with giant hammer] gotten loosen up the old joints eh 

mtmte is so fucking funny i always forget that bc the story and characters are so strong but its also hilarious. what an iconic series

tailgate is a dial-up robot. love it

‘buzzing with positive energy’ vbhjaksbhdfjsakf drift please

god i fuckgin love drift’s hippy nonsense. peak

wow rung hasn't caught a single break so far in the story huh

‘its your eyebrows! he’s jealous of your capacity for self-expression!’ vhbhsudfjsakfj swerve 

also i remember when watching tfp ruth and i would say that rung belonged there bc everyone in tfp had insane eyebrows 

oof, rung really goin for it there - not that you can blame him. also i get the feeling that the hipaa laws of cybertron are a little looser than earths

god i love how everyone on the ship is at least a little bit of an asshole. fantastic stuff 

swerve please vbjhsdkhfbjaskhfdn

love the detail of skids saying hes unarmed while holding the gun - bc he doesn't even realize/remember that hes holding it 

skids saying ‘fly, my beauty! fly!’ while throwing some guy’s dead body at his attackers....lmao 

cyclonus is so sexy and iconic i gotta say

oof i love cyclonus’s speech there...and the fact that that is what changed rodimus’s mind about him...and also contrast that w/their final moment in the last issue...OUGH 

also I'm too tired to remember/care how to pluralize names ending in s so I'm just fuckin goin for it lmao

magnus threatening to demolish cyclonus....sir

whirl saying ‘i cant remember who started it’ hvbhajkdsfbjajks ok

cyclonus is so ufcking hardcore. also i love him and whirl’s entire relationship progression...so good

the fact that tailgate lies about his function so smoothly is so interesting...i feel like tailgate mostly reads as innocent/naïve but his very deliberate lying shows that hes not just 1-dimentionally innocent (which is excellent)

and like, tailgate had to have quickly realized that he CAN lie about this here, 6 million years in the future, bc there’s nobody around to factcheck him - so now he can be as important as he wished he was back in his day...i love it

and still, as of now, we (the readers) don't know tailgate is lying - tho i feel like him saying that the ark launch would fail without him is a good clue, since we know that the ark launch DIDNT fail despite tailgates absence

fuckgin love worldbuilding stuff like metallurgy being ‘skin specialty’ in a world where everyone is made of metal. like, that makes sense!

i really want to know if tailgate genuinely thinks that whirls name is nutjob hbhdsjfkhbhjsakf

chromedome is so massive compared to the minibot squad hvbhjdskfbdksf

SKIDS WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO, I DONT REMEMBER AND I WANNA KNOW

love that in the crowd shot, cyclonus still manages to find a window to broodingly stare out of. icon

also is that cosmos???? bc im p sure he wasn't even on the lost light 

drift being ‘offensively upbeat’ as rodimus puts it is so fucking funny. sir please

im fuckgin crying at skids being like ‘well i guess i joined a quest? ok then’ lmaoooo this poor dude

also didn't someone do an analysis of swerve’s joking overexaggerated quest checklist to show that that all ended up being stuff that they did...bruh

rodimus really jinxed himself by overemphasizing how important any remarks had to be

also whirl once again dropping the issue title (”hanger ons”), nice

the crusadercons hvbdjkhfbhskdf

reclaim the suffix lmao god 

ohh i love the crew profiles SO MUCH

I love the contrast of brainstorm’s ‘prolific murderer’ to ratchets ‘prolific life-saver.’ also i love the retrospective irony of that particular epithet for brainstorm

chromedomes profession being classified is a nice touch

i love issue 2 too, it goes so well w/issue 1. we get a nice intro to our characters now that they’ve actually embarked on their epic space cruise, and the promising premise continues to feel fresh and exciting. ah, mtmte, so good. im excited for more...!
