As someone who is not too familiar with IDW Transformers could you please give us a TLDR why the heck Thundercracker has a dog and a human girlfriend?

oh bOY OH BOY WHERE TO BEGIN.....

well, if you want a SUPER quick rundown of his IDW version, this video gives a very neat summary at the 7:45 mark! and his tfwiki entry has a much lengthier but more detailed description of his story in the comics

.... however, i kinda wanna brainrot about TC's arc from memory so hERE I GO I GUESS

from what i remember he started out pretty much as p much another goon in the decepticon army and part of the elite trine with starscream and skywarp; but his devotion to the cause started to waver when the cons launched a full scale invasion of earth; he didn't feel like humans were worthy adversaries and that what they were doing was just a senseless slaughter. it came to a breaking point when he found himself saving the autobots and new york city from a nuclear strike orchestrated by megatron. skywarp blasted him in the face (ouch) for his betrayal and left him for dead in the rubble of the city as the decepticons retreated and the autobots went into hiding/running from humans.

however, he survived this barely, and spent the next three years hiding in the rubble of the city and waiting for aid from a distress signal he managed to send out to any other comrades who may not have heard of his betrayal.

and it was HERE during this period that he pretty much had nothing else to do but kill time, and how did he do it? by watching human television. he watched pretty much anything, from news channels to history and nature documentaries, and more importantly, cheesy soap operas. and it was here that his perception of earth and its people, culture and nature completely shifted; his kind had been stagnant war for millions of years, and during that time on this lil blue orb entire civilisations had risen and fallen and risen again, nature continued to shift the face of the planet on a daily basis, and he found that beautiful. he gained a newfound respect and admiration for earth and its ability to, ironically, transform itself every day 🥹

oh gosh im getting carried away, bUT THAT ˆˆˆ is what drew me to his character in the first place, i thought it was so cool to see a cybertronian, a decepticon, gain that level of respect for humans and nature and culture 🥰

AFTER THAAAAT well there's a lot of shit that went down bUT BASICALLY. humans eventually recognized him as a neutral cybertronian and granted him refuge, fuel and A DOG. i don't know the details of what led him to getting buster but honestly that doesn't matter; she's his everything and he would do anything for her 🥹 he doesn't go unchecked tho, he has a human liaison and that is where marissa comes in: she's his contact with the government to make sure he has everything he needs, and in return the organization she works for, the earth defense command, may call in some favors from him when wanting to deal with extraterrestrial threats

his love of television also inspired him to want to become a scriptwriter himself!! he's kinda terrible at it at first bc he's writing human characters from the perspective of an alien, which leads to some very interesting pieces of literature 😂 but honestly, he's so earnest and enthusiastic about it, you can't help but root for the guy!! he's just living his absolute BEST life on earth, creating art, getting loved by a doggie and hopelessly crushing on his girlboss human friend!! HOW COULD I NOT LOVE HIM HE'S SO ADASFAFFSDA

Something I am really looking forward to/hoping to see is how Loona and Stolas interact given everything that just happened and current living situation.

Oh I'm SALIVATING for that shit. I have a oneshot in mind for it as we speak.

The bugnarok…..

Shugods…..

Wow not the fking language here—

They really went all out for this one, huh

:3c

Shugoddom…..

Hey—

What the fvck do these names mean???

[sonocomics]

If there is one thing I wish XC3 had was something where maybe in New Game Plus that we could start an alternate playthrough where we can start as the Agnus side.

Ooh yeah that would definitely be interesting O:

...though I guess that would mean rewriting pretty much all of chapter 1, which is a decent amount of stuff xD so I get why they didn't but we can dream

Here's a fun lil' tidbit for ya: Notice the eye color on that there Hound? :3

New emotion unlocked: I now regret learning how to read.

I always like series where the villains plans progress even if the monster is destroyed. Like if is about collecting data or resources, if they even make a little progress on that front, it inches towards the villains goal that much closer.

Oh, gosh, yes. An ‘all according to plan’ gambit can be super great when well done. We have no idea what Horobi is actually trying to do, because everything is still super vague with regards to his whole deal. However, that does not stop me from being super concerned about how many factions we may have going on here.

(answering your other asks in here, too, to save time)

Being a long time fan of James Bond and other spy movies a weaponized attache case isn't all that strange to me.

Oh. Oh my gaim that’s it. That’s the reference.

As for where Trilobite Magear generate weapons from, would surmise same way the full Magear get their armor and weapons.

Yeah, fair enough! It’s still kind of disconcerting to think of these waitresses and guides and such suddenly having literal machine guns, while losing their identity and ohhh no, I’ve made myself sad about the hijacking thing again.

By far this has to be the stupidest Gangler yet.

I love monsters-of-the-week like this, because they make episodes a lot more fun. Although having one show up in a wham episode is admittedly a questionable choice.

[ailurinae]

chaossepher mentioned you on a post “Another legend ”

@kellyclowers Diane doesn't know that. Nor does she know his birth mother never told him. Atm he is the deadbeat dad that put her up for adoption.

Er? I may be just totally confused, but...? https://egscomics.com/comic/2017-12-27

You think that the reason Thundercracker names characters things like Josh Boyfriend is because Cybertronian names, how to put it... lack subtlety? I also like to imagine that if Cybertronians have an alien language the translate to English somehow, then their names just come out that way to us as well.

That.... would actually make a lot of sense?? 😂 It's probably like, a cultural thing for cybertronians to get names Like That, and TC was just writing with what he's always known from his own society

Something great came out on the Helluva Boss Twitter. https://fixupx.com/IMPmurderpros/status/1806024958088511510?t=gMQ6teZxIMYt1KLdZUyhjg&s=19

OH WE LOVE PRIDE MONTH SHIT IN THIS HOUSE

[scoups4lyfe]

That nickname Sachika gives him is a play on the word "Umasou" which basically means "Delicious" which Shouma often exclaims.

I know this offhand because there is this really cute anime film based on a children's book titled "You are Umasou" about a T Rex that ends up raising this adorable baby Ankylosaur instead of eating her.

Awwwwwe that nickname is so—

🥺

Also, that sounds like a cute book :3c. Makes me want to look it up

[missfinefeather]

Did she just weaponize flower flour?

Well, it did disorient him for a short while, though Cinder doesn’t seem to take advantage of that moment.

Heck, she didn’t even need to get away as she charged him!

But she’s young, inexperienced, probably just trying anything she could think of.

EDIT: Typo called out by ChaosSepher

@chaossepher replied to your post “Absolutely. ????? Is his semblance evolving? Oh my...”:

Technically he's empathic

​True! I say mind reading because he can see their emotions so clearly that he's pretty much able to deduce what they're thinking as well. So it counts!

@chaossepher replied to your post “So Jaune will be the physical healer of the group...”:

Something love here Ren is absolutely right about why RWBY beat them. Rewatching the fight the Ace Ops were hardly working together like Team RWBY was and big factor how and why they lost.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. They spent a good amount of the fight snapping at each other rather than just working together. They've placed an artificial distance between each other to try to avoid the heartbreak that would happen if one of them died, but they could never fully trust one another like that.

[sonocomics]

Any chance you might cover Tales of Xillia?

I almost always play Tales games with my friend and she’s not interested in it (and she’s the one with the console for it)

So no, probably not :o

Why is this tagged Ex-aid?

Because I screwed up. Thank.
