Optimus Prime (TFP) Matrix HC: Even though the Matrix of Leadership does allow him to be much wiser and have a lore more insight, due to the combined wisdom of the original thirteen Primes being contained within, it also is somewhat of a burden for him mentally.

Due to the fact it does possess so much knowledge and wisdom, it surely has so know just as much about the terrible and gut-wrenching things as anything else. So I think that Optimus would sometimes have dissociative flashbacks to events he never was present for, or have overwhelming intrusive thoughts about violence. Not in the “what if I hurt somthing” (the traditional type) but more of a “here’s an extremely graphic and nauseating thought you won’t be able to escape”.

He sometimes has episodes where he just goes completely silent, and nobody but Ratchet knows. It’s something he keeps secret so the others don’t worry about him, but sometimes he has to go on recon or other things during these episodes, and he goes nonverbal. The rest of Team Prime just wave it off as him being angsty and moody, but Ratchet tries his best to give Optimus space and to lighten his load.

He usually gets hazy visions of different awful scenes, sometimes real, sometimes a memory from the era of the primes, sometimes a graphic hypothetical. But he can’t really fight it, and any time he tries not to think of it, his mind just leads him back to these uncomfortable and unwanted thoughts.

As a longtime Transformers Prime fan, there are few things more annoying than other fans who act like TFP was some flawlessly executed masterpiece to justify their obsession with hating RID2015.

"But RID doesn't reference TFP enough!!"

Yeah, that's not a RID problem: that's an Aligned Transformers problem. Despite its name, this continuity is hilariously well-known for not really "aligning" its different installments. TFP and Rescue Bots hardly ever referenced each other, and when they did, they were almost always super vague about it. Not to mention how little the events of the Aligned novels ever get brought up in any of the shows.

"But the character designs are too different from TFP!!!"

Again — welcome to Aligned Transformers. Nearly every installment of this continuity has its own designs/looks for the same exact characters.

"But resurrecting Optimus Prime was so disrespectful to Predacons Rising-"

My siblings in Primus, this is TRANSFORMERS.

How many times has Optimus Prime died a noble & dramatic death, only to get resurrected like he's alien robot Jesus? It happens all the time. It happened in G1 twice. How in the world is RID "disrespectful" for doing one of the most common and predictable tropes in the entire franchise?! 🤣

There's nothing wrong with criticizing the flaws and missteps of RID2015. Hell, I love that show, and I have TONS of critiques about what didn't work and what could've been done better.

But guess what? I still love the show! I loved it even when it was a hot mess, because it was a fun hot mess!

Every "critique" of RID that boils down to "it's not Prime 2.0" reads as incredibly lazy and shallow to me. It's the same old superiority complex that cycles through every generation of Transformers fans: any show that isn't their favorite is "trash", and anyone who disagrees has "bad taste".

A show doesn't need to be perfect to be enjoyable.

RID2015 isn't perfect.

TFP isn't perfect.

Aligned Transformers isn't perfect.

And I love them. Imperfections and all.

Average day in the Aligned Continuity:

[theangrycomet-art]

just how big is your skyfire design???

Skyfire's Design Page for Ref

REALLY fucking big- like how big I feel Predaking's root mode SHOULD have been.

I tend to jump around a bit on the specific numbers, but as of right now he's like roughly 45 ft?? (I have Optimus 'round 35 ft with Bulkhead at 28-30ft)

Fowler, who for convenience I hc at exactly 6ft tall is there for scale.

Edit: Skyfire and the rest of his fellow Wreckers

Patrons got a first look at this screenshot a couple days ago. Meet the brothel's on-staff OBGYN, Ratchet! (tfp version) All nsfw sneak peaks/screenshots from the game will be coming thru the Patreon in the next couple of weeks, and will only be available there, so if you'd like to get a first look, become a member of any tier!

And yes, all the Aphrodite's staff (including Ratchet here, of course) are indeed fuckable!

ALSO: I've gotten a few DMs from people asking if other continuity designs will be available in the game. While the initial development will be focused solely on TFP designs, I will create different continuity versions if the game gets enough traction and the demand grows high enough. It will also depend on how much support I get via the Patreon month-to-month and what the patrons want, because the demands of my supporters are my top priority.

CONTEXT: this screenshot is from a Transformers/Human erotica fan-game I'm working on. You can read up on it HERE

Poor Heatwave, he won't be invited to the big events... who knows why 🤔🤨

[scourgeofmyownbrain]

Only one guy on here has two eyes, and even then, they're fake eyes. It's big-tits-McGee, Mr. logic man extraordinaire, Geneva Suggestion Believer himself: Shockwave! Yep, all 12 of him, a reasonable amount of alternates to have, unlike some people... Shockwave Height Chart, everyone, fuckin wee.

Edit: I didn't like the old scaling I had so I changed it. The old chart is at the end of this post.

Quick Disclaimer, if any of the images look weird, it's because I had to stitch a few separate images together to create a full body shot of the character.

Here are links to my Bumblebee Chart, my Optimus Chart, my Megatron Chart, and my Soundwave Chart. !!NEW!! -> Ratchet & Ironhide. Please go gawk at how many Optimus designs there are, sweet fuck, there are so many. For future reference, all these charts will be filed under my "Transformers Height Charts" tag and my "aka the adventures of a..." tag.

Master Post

Explanations and Sources below the cut.

Unicron Trilogy Energon - ~14 feet 3 inches (No actual source, and Energon doesn't have any listed heights anywhere. For the uneducated, the Unicron Trilogy has given each of its 3 seasons separate names and 3 separate art styles. This is the design used in Energon (S2) though he only shows up in Energon. I was able to compare him to Optimus, and using Cybertron's listed heights, I got this number. I am in physical pain, it does not get better from here. Hilarious side note, his Japanese name is Laserwave, which contains the missing "wave" of Shockwave in this iteration's name.)

Earth Spark - ~15 feet (No actual source for ES, but using a barn door to get Bumblebee's height, then Optimus's, then Megatron's height, I was able to make a guess at Shockwave's. Shockwave comes up to about Megatron's chin; I lost the screenshot I used. It's so convoluted, I know, but it's all I have, also, tiny universe, everyone is so small)

TFA Longarm/V1 - 15 feet 2 inches (Animated has no actual numbers, but the lovely @phoenix-inanis has provided a frankly astounding resource with their own calculations for the heights of all the TFA characters. Go look at it, it's wonderful -> https://phoenix-inanis.notion.site/TFA-Height-Chart-f6ad2960ca8c4c5b859ee4958723aaa4?pvs=4)

Gen 1 - ~18 feet (TFWiki, uuuuh I've got nothing to add)

Netflix Cybertron Trilogy - ~18 feet (I have no source for this, other than assuming that because this design is identical to Gen 1, they are the same height. That's it, really)

Knight/Capel-Verse - ~18 feet (No source, and he never stands next to anyone I can measure him against, but because the TFOne director has said that this movie is both canon to the LA movies and its own separate canon, I am assuming the height I figured out for TFOne applies to this universe as well. Until proven otherwise. Capel directed the ROTB movie if you're wondering why his name is there)

One - ~18 feet (No source, I got this number by comparing him to Optimus. Now, I am aware of the TFO heights listed on the wiki, but I reject those numbers on principal. A: Those numbers are sourced from the Walmart Promotional AR Experience that came out before the movie. B: There are three decimal points, and that number does not convert into a whole number in meters (which is originally what I thought was weird about it). C: The director has said that this movie is both canon to the LA movies and its own separate canon, so I have elected to use the few given heights we have from KCV and worked from there. My Optimus post has slightly more context if you want it)

Cyberverse - 20 feet (This comes from a screenshot of this video which has the Cyberverse height chart everyone uses, though the quality of the screenshot is iffy.)

Aligned Cont. WF/FOC/TFP - 26 feet 2 inches (This number comes from Fandom and I completely believe it, even if they don't list their source, because the entirety of this universe is freakishly tall. Go look at my other charts, all the ALC designs are monstrous compared to the others)

TFA V2 - 29 feet 11 inches (Once again, phoenix-inanis did a fuck ton of work, go look at it, it's wonderful -> https://phoenix-inanis.notion.site/TFA-Height-Chart-f6ad2960ca8c4c5b859ee4958723aaa4?pvs=4)

Bayverse - ~30 feet (Ok, so I don't have a source for this one. There used to be one, BV Shockwave used to be listed as 40 feet tall bc of an article done to promote the movie, but that is no longer listed for reasons not known to me, and making some comparisons to Optimus, I have found them to be kinda close in height. It's very hard to actually validate any of this. Shockwave never stands normally next to anything I can use as a ruler at any point in the movie. He's always at a dramatic angle or partially covered by something in the shot. It's so violently frustrating. I am confident he is around this height though, I just can't figure out how much taller than Optimus he is)

And that's it. I didn't have to leave any designs out, all of them are included here (hopefully). It was so nice to work with a character where I wasn't drowning in 20+ designs across every goddamn universe.

Edit: Here are the different layers separated.

WE HAVE CANON TFP PROWL DESIGN???

YES. LOOK AT HIM. He’s a sarcastic but also very wholesome in tfp universe>:)

There’s a whole page of his lore and also we have “Covenant of Primus” book that. Fucking. Broke my heart in half with..what happened to Prowl and Bluestreak. Makes me want to draw a comic purely about them joining the team Prime and being cool and comforting together
