You know how in TFP Optimus can’t really remember what happened during his time without the matrix. Yeah. The sad version of this what if Optimus met cogless Megatron.

The Looped False Story

Dreaming a New Space. Zee is embarking on a journey to Mt. Washington and she promises to share her experiences with us when she returns next week. Meanwhile, I’ll keep you entertained, smirks Blu. In Our Hands Order Zee and I contemplate the concept of spaces, particularly, creating an energetic space made real. You also may have noticed, we contemplate stories, and even embedded stories in…

I’m thinking about it, and I think Optimus banishing Megatron from Iacon with the High Guard was probably one of the worst decisions he could have made to deal with this situation

Because Optimus pretty much left him alone, outside of his home and I’m fairly certain the only remaining city on Cybertron, so to live out in the wilds of the surface, with a bunch of complete strangers whom they literally call nut-jobs and have a strong belief of “strength of one bot over another”, and are also much older and more experienced than him

And in leaving him with the High Guard, he’s likely isolated Megatron even more than if he was banished alone. Because while Optimus and the others have friends they can be vulnerable with and be comfortable talk about their feelings, Megatron does not know these people, and they don’t know him. But he’s now their leader in a group that values strength above all else, and emotions are usually considered a weakness in these sorts of settings. So not only does he have no one to talk to, he has to bottle up his very strong and raw emotions to appear stronger and worthy of his position, thus making them far worse and probably leading to unhealthy coping mechanisms

This could end up not being the case, and the High Guard are very considerate of his emotions. But it’s also very possible the case that they aren’t, or Megatron believes he can’t be vulnerable around them. They (the quartet I mean) don’t know these people, and they’ve really only seen them be violent and aggressive, and Megatron knows he’s an outsider to them. It’s a more likely scenario that they’ll be harmful to Megatron’s mental state rather than helpful

And again, they’re a lot older than him too, and they probably all know this, at least on some level. And thus, he’s far more likely to be influenced by the High Guard’s mentality and beliefs, which we already know aren’t great (even if it’s somewhat justified why they’re the way they are by this point). And assuming they’re pissed at Optimus as well, they could very well try to have Megatron distance himself from his old friends, and it be more successful than if he was alone

But moving away from the High Guard, there’s the fact that Optimus banished him from his home and left him to fend for himself, which Megatron would absolutely take personally just on its own. He was clearly not in a mentally stable place at that point and I think he thinks what he’s doing is right, he’s the one not being like Sentinel while Optimus is. It definitely isn’t right, but he thinks he is. And the banishment to him could not only be Optimus/Orion standing against him, but essentially him saying he’s given up on Megatron, making him leave his home. And I mean, Sentinel did kind of do this to the High Guard 50 cycles ago, so yet another parallel to be made between Optimus and Sentinel

But note that when I say all this, I don’t mean it as a criticism of the movie, that this is a flaw of the plot. I’m fairly certain this was 100% intentional by the writers. It wasn’t just Megatron that created Megatron and led to the war, it was Optimus too, even if he didn’t intend to

Optimus probably thought at the time that this was the best solution in dealing with him. He doesn’t agree with Megatron’s actions but he understands where it all comes from, and he was someone very important to him. So he probably doesn’t want to arrest him, punishing him for what he thought was right and making himself more like Sentinel, oppressing those who were supposed to be on his side. But he still has to be punished for his actions. So by banishment, he is punished while still being allowed to essentially be free, just not in Iacon, and maybe in turn he’ll see his wrongdoings and come back better. And even if the High Guard aren’t ideal, they did help Optimus and Elita rescue their friends, and maybe he thought at least with them he wouldn’t be alone in his thoughts. Also they agreed with Megatron’s ideals and probably shouldn’t be allowed to just roam free in Iacon, especially in this politically fragile state it is right now

But in doing so, Optimus essentially threw Megatron to the wolves and created the perfect environment for his anger and pain to fester and cause him to become more like the Megatron we know in the future

I’m not sure what the actual best solution would have been to this issue though. Maybe it would have been just jailing Megatron? Granted in the short term, it’d probably sting even worse for Megatron, that his own friend would lock him up, and it’d probably make him even more resentful. But at least there, he’d still be in Iacon, with his friends and people who want to help him, and with Optimus and Elita at the helm, they can probably see that he gets treated well and has access to people that can really help him work through it all and see what he did was wrong

But that’s not what happened

these are kind of the same movie to me...do you get it

[chaosordoffl]

The concept of "False" Primes— well how about the concept of Primus being imperfect? Of it choosing from the increasingly select mechs able allowed to be in the Matrix's vicinity (and over the eons it's pinballed around the era's and/or previous Prime's idea of what's most important— those most trusted, brave, pious, capable, knowledgeable, wealthy, noble) and picking the one with the most potential? For greatness, kindness, love, mercy.

And Primus being let down increasingly more often. And, cyclically, the Matrix stops directing, stops guiding, stops teaching; goes cold.

Primus, that which the downtrodden and despairing look to for miracles and better paths, itself losing hope. Disappointed continually by its own children. Losing them to greed, bribes, threats, blackmail, lust, negligence, incompetence, ambition, delusions of grandeur. The holiest of lights growing dimmer with each lifetime. Getting buried.

But there always being another spark. Another bot. Another day.

#1622

Quillbot introduced a new feature: level of confidence its AI-for-AI supposes something has been generated or touched by the AI.

This feature, as predicted, rolls like the utter shitewheel it certainly is, because of course the AI will mark M-dashes and parenthesis incised into the sentence as at least AI-refined. And no, there would not be a clear guideline for how to use this feature.

By that I mean a clear instruction for how to… *sigh* Text generation is math. A lot of teeth-cracking math, some rigid programming, and all of that is based in linguistics. Neither field is particularly easy to get into and have a solid grasp on, so it should be logical a tool presented as easy-to-use and entirely-comprehensible in regards of all this—so in the form of percentages and now Confidence—*must* include explanations for either category with which it will mark texts.

The Soul Trap Explained

The soul trap is a spiritual theory that hypothesises we were TRICKED into coming to Earth by negative entities who feed off our energy, & we are now stuck here in a reincarnation cycle. Read through the images for a full explanation, how the soul trap works, implications, and what to DO about it.

Though this information may be depressing at first, you can only start to escape the soul trap / reincarnation cycle through seeking the truth, then ACTING on it. The best place to start is by removing entity attachments & etheric implants - click on this link to the full method (takes 10 minutes, & will genuinely change your life!)

I'm curious as to why you chose Megaop as your main ship for this au

It's just so tragic and it's soo soo interesting like can you imagine falling for a guy then all of a sudden the whole world turns on you and then all of a sudden the guy you loved is leading a war against you?

I know that Megop is considered a violent ship in most media and I've had some people support Elita in my au lol, but think of my Megop being like those two guys from Nimona, cause that's literally them. They don't hate each other, they don't want to harm each other, they just miss each other terribly lol.

Megatron was an innocent guy who was purposely and falsely blamed for the Great Fire of the Primes, and the death of them, firing up the rivalry between the lower and upper class, and eventually, the war.

Optimus was chosen as the next Prime, and was basically forced into the position when the war started, with no experience. His only remaining advisor, Sentinel, could no longer hold the matrix, but his desire for power caused him to lead through Optimus and manipulate him. Optimus deep down believed that Megatron did not cause this, but had no evidence.

It's supposed to be a sad story guys, I'm sry <3
