I have watched it and it was good! 😁❤️
I strongly recommend staying until the very end of the credits for a scene of badass Decepticon goodness!!!
MAJOR SPOILERS under cut because I feel the need to write mine thoughts!
⚠️Don't look under the cut if you haven't seen the movie yet. ⚠️
Please watch the movie first, it's good!😁
Okay, my spoilery reactions!
- I really really liked Sentinel's story arc in the film, it has some peak Sentinel Prime goodness(/evilness) in it! Transformers One also features the prettiest Sentinel Prime design that I think that we've ever seen; he's one gorgeous aft helm! A very pretty boy! (His was probably my favourite design.)
- Loved the nod to TFP's Steve; great fan community in-joke!
- I liked how Airachnid was utilized (although I am generally not a fan of her, fans who really like her may or may not like her characterization but personally I thought that it was good.)
- I get why they put the t-cogs in the characters' chests on a thematic level in this movie but my brain couldn't help feeling constantly confused because that's traditionally where a Cybertronian's spark goes (as it is kinda their heart... you know, along with their fuel pump.) To me, and from my vague remembrance of IDW/TFP, the t-cog is an abdominally located part/organ, kinda like a spleen. Honestly it took me half the movie to even notice the disturbing creepy gaping holes in the character's chests so I think that the decision missed the mark thematically anyway.
- Skywarp, Thundercracker, Slipstream, the Coneheads, possibly maybe Sunstorm, Hotlink and Misfire were present, hurray!!! I need to rewatch it a billion times to dissect it frame by frame to identify more seekers once I can obtain it on DVD.❤️✈️ Most of the seekers were kind of only seen in glimpses.
- Skywarp got a line and he sounded fine!❤️❤️
- Jazz's reaction to his frame after he got his t-cog was extremely adorable, can we just please hug him?🥹❤️
- IRONHIDE, WHY ARE YOU TEENY
- Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, eee!! So soooo good to see some lesser seen Autobots! They were even standing together! Yay!
- Blurr, you look weird.
- Ratchet was mentioned!
- There were so many dudes with chevrons on their noggins that I got lost trying to figure out which one was probably Prowl in consequetive scenes.
- Shockwave's scene was hilarious.
- Shockingly... I didn't find myself disliking Bumblebee, even though he was an idiot. I still think he's somewhat overused as an Autobot protagonist character though.
- Elita was standard Elita; no complaints.
- I was somewhat weirded out by what looked like visors on some of the seekers but only because I've never seen that before. Personally, I'm not into it as a design thing as speaking from a scientific brain seekers should have superior vision and not need such things to augment their vision by default, being, y'know, flight frames. To clarify: I think that visors are badass, just rather odd looking and nonsensical on seekers.
- I wasn't a fan of Megatron's voice in the trailer and I still wasn't really a fan of it in the full length film. I got more comfortable with it towards the end as Megatron became more Megatron-ish (aka grumpy and homicidal.)
- The Megatronus Prime plot was a bit weird but I think that it did work really well as an origin story for the Decepticon brand as well as a plot point for Starscream gaining respect (however temporary) for Megs. (I spent most of the movie trying to remember which actual Prime Megatronus Prime had replaced)
- I'm never into red optics immediately equalling evil so I hated the story element of Megs' eyes changing colour. It's such an overused thematic story telling trope and instead Megs should've just had red optics from the very beginning of the story. (But I personally also believe that Decepticons are not inherently evil, nor are the Autobots inherently good. Black and white depictions of the factions are extremely juvenile, which is one reason I loved Earthspark so much because it depicted the Decepticons in shades of grey. I really wish that ES would have gone into Starscream's backstory with Megatron more; we really needed it.)
- Starscream's voice was awful - he sounded like fragging Swindle. I did like the little backstory they put in for his screechiness, but ugh... basically, every Starscream should be voiced by Steve Blum. In my sage opinionated opinion Steve Blum is simply the best Starscream voice actor and if you're not going to have our glitchy flyboy voiced by Steve Blum he should at least be voiced by someone with a snobby British accent so that he sounds sufficiently like the high caste afthole that he is.
- Starscream's neck was distractingly hideous; it looked like a weird fat rubber thing, not pretty at all like other character's necks in the film like Elita-1's. (Her neck was top tier.) I know this might seem like a weird aft thing to fixate on but Starscream is supposed to be sleek and beautiful, fraggit! (The rest of Starscream's design was nice!)
- There are indeed some MegaStar implications if you squint!✈️🔫
- Skyfire is mentioned! And yes, he is called Skyfire! Yay!
- Megatron, how the frag did you get your turret back after Optimus beat you over the head with it?! Do weapons just magically respawn the second someone transforms in the TF One continuem?! Plot hole!!(/maybe they forgot to use the model of turretless Megs in that scene in which I hope they fix this for the post-theatre release.)
- Because I can't remember what Alpha Trion's alt usually is I rather liked his foo dog?/dragon? alt!
- ...why didn't they just find Sentinel's creepy t-cog depository instead? Instead of 'because magic.'
- I'm never a fan of character designs where the Matrix of Leadership is super visible in a Prime's root mode because it's like a 'shoot me here' bullseye target.
- I loved the turbobucks! The way that the deer alerted each other to danger was A+ from my wildlife biology nerd perspective. ❤️
- Quintessons!!! ❤️ Their ship was very creepy and I liked their designs! However... the plot with them was never satisfied... so now there's just three warring factions and I bet the Quints love it.
- Weird as slag that Iacon was the only city.
- How the frag did our quartet of protagonists manage to walk across an entire damned planet without starving to death? And in so little time?
- Fliers should not race grounders: that is not a fair race and it is completely illogical. Fliers would win 100% of the time in races against grounders, even ones named Blurr, that's just physics, I don't care if there are cool magic roads involved!
- As a fanfiction writer privy to fandom lore whenever I see Starscream's wing's literally branded I cringe in sympathetic pain because Primus damnit that would hurt so bad. It would be about 50% more painful for a seeker than other mecha (with the exception of Praxians of course!)
That's about all I can think about at the moment; despite my nitpicking of designs and certain plot points I honestly really liked the movie. It's definitely better than a lot of other Transformers movies that we've had and it was great to finally have one that was fully set on Cybertron, that was 100% human-free!
I'm about to see Transformers: One thanks to my dad!!! 🥹 I don't think I could've gone without his help, he gave me a $20 to go see it because my money keeps getting eaten by bills and necessities. ❤️❤️❤️ (I'm so ready to drool all over whatever cameo appearances Starscream gets hehe.)

Starscream pretending to be a lamp- while hiding from Megatron?
Set in cyberverse.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“You know that this won’t work.” Thundercracker pinched the bridge of his nose as he watched his trine leader place a human lampshade over his head.
“It’s better this than taking another beating!”
“Come on TC, It’ll be hilarious!” Skywarp bounced next to Thundercracker, “Besides, Megatron will run out of steam by the time he finds Screamer.”
“Don’t call me that.”
“Says the bot with the lampshade over his head!” Skywarp burst out in a fit of giggles.
“Come on Warp, we have a patrol shift in a few clicks.”
“Good luck Screamer!”
“DON'T CALL ME THAT!” -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------“STARSCREAM!” Megatron stormed through the halls of the nemesis, looking for his SIC. The seeker shivered as Megatron’s footsteps echoed in the distance. As the footsteps got closer, Starscream tried to keep his trembling to a minimum.
“SOUNDWAVE! Where did this lamp come from?” Megatron turned to Soundwave, who just shrugged. “Hm, it is quite a nice lamp. Have somebody move it to my room.” Starscream shivered, and the tromping of Megatron’s peds resumed. Once the seeker felt like the warlord was far enough away; he booked it back to his room.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thundercracker couldn't believe what he just heard; Skywarp was on the floor, clutching his sides as he couldn't stop laughing.
“You know that he’s going to search for the ‘mysterious’ lamp now.”
“He’ll never find it. Besides he must have moved on to something else now.”
“I don’t think so star. Megatron just put out a comm about the lamp. He’s going to punish whoever took the lamp.”
“Scrap.”

Hey can anyone help me find a fanfiction?! Its been awhile since ive read it and I cant find it!
I read it on Ao3. Its a transformers fanfiction where the decepticons are turned into humans somehow and live in the slums of India I think?
Maybe some megastar if you squint if I remember correctly. Starscream and a little boy steal stuff. They have to learn how to eat and are very poor. In the end I think the autobots find and save them or something after they have some more money.
Reply to this or personal message me if you know the one im talking about! Ive been going over ao3 with a fine toothed comb and am worried its been taken down. T.T

TFILF Day 8
Okay guys it's the last day! This was the hardest list to get narrowed down to something reasonable. Since the theme today is NSFW, please watch the tags and curate your own experience. Wall by ros3bud009 TFA, Optimus Prime/Sentinel Prime Explicit
"Aren't you a pretty pair of legs." Optimus's spark froze in his chest. No. No, no, no way, no. Primus, no. Where would he even get the money to afford to come here as a customer? It couldn't be— The customer had gone quiet as Optimus tried to keep from panicking. "Awfully familiar legs at that."
Optimus pays the bills at the academy with sex work of a very particular kind. This fic is absolutely steaming hot, and, get this, I hate this pairing. I absolutely love it in this fic, though, and the give and take and the challenge of it all is just delicious.
Not Fair by Redseeker TFA, Megastar Explicit
Megatron gets Starscream off, and then needs Starscream's help to finish himself.
This fic is a huge, huge, all-time favorite of mine, and the second chapter from Megatron's perspective is just stunning. This is the fic that got me to understand humiliation kink. Somehow by the end it's sweet, but still so very Megastar, with all that entails.
Virtuoso: Duet by Enfilade IDW, Deathsaurus/Tarn Explicit
"Allies with benefits" is already more than either Tarn or Deathsaurus had ever hoped for. But Tarn has never been good at saying no to temptation. And Deathsaurus has never known when to quit. Love is a gamble, but trust is a minefield, and the risks are as high as the rewards...unless Tarn can convince Deathsaurus that it's nothing more than a game. Part one of a duology.
I could rec at least five other fics from Enfilade, who is a genius, but I'm picking this one in particular because it's my favorite. This is the fifth or sixth in a series, and I recommend reading the ones that come before, but it works well as a standalone. The smut in this fic is unbelievably good, but at the same time the backstory of both characters gets developed, and their relationship transforms. There are a lot of miscommunications, but none of them are accidents—and as the fic goes on both of them have to work really, really hard to overcome cultural differences and their own vulnerability. Enfilade does an amazing job playing with the dramatic irony of switching perspective between the two characters. Oh, and the fic is probably 85% a single sex scene. I love it so much.
Tit for Tat by tragakes Continuity what Continuity, MegOP Explicit
Just Megatron with big boobs, small valve, and a surprised-but-mostly-delighted Optimus Prime.
Megatron has tits. That's the entire premise. It's beautiful, straightforward PWP. Robots with breasts took me a long time to come around on, and then I read this, and now there can never be enough. There are three chapters, with the option for more. The second chapter is probably my favorite, though honestly it was tough choosing between tragakes fics for this in the first place. Everything is amazing!
Masks and Mirrors Part 8 by entangledwood Continuity Soup, Optimus Prime/Drift Explicit
The marvelous entangledwood did the Kinktober challenge last year and created the Masks and Mirrors AU—a no-war AU featuring an exclusive Cybertronian BDSM club. The main storyline focuses on Optimus, but a lot of pairings make their way through, including Megatron/Rodimus, Starscream and his trine, and more obscure rarepairs, etc. You can find all of the stories on Pillowfort, here. The one I'm reccing in particular is Optimus/Drift (though it could be Optimus/anyone if you squint) and it features a submissive!OP using the Matrix for some less than innocent purposes. It's really, really fun. A couple of stories involve Ratchet domming OP, and that is wonderful as well.
There are so many amazing writers in this fandom, and honestly I'm really excited to do this again because I know there are so many others whose writing I want to shout loudly about.

‘uwu you nasty adults just wanna post pedophilia and incest and abuse without consequences’
No, actually I want to post a 500k slowburn minimal payoff Vader/OC fic that doesn’t gloss over the terrible shit and is tagged appropriately for said terrible shit without you goddamn gremlins going batshit when one of those tags is on your arbitrary no-no list.
I want to write a 100k pre-war Megastar fic without being run off the internet for daring to even imagine how that relationship might exist under non-canon circumstances.
I want to write a 10k Mafia AU about characters that are both canonically adults without getting shat on because one of them has a childish personality and therefore if you squint really super hard...
I want to write a 5k Jaime Lannister self-reflection fic.
I want to write a 1k Drabble of Luke Skywalker realizing he made out with his sister.
Y’all little shits need to learn your fandom history and read up on the Live Journal Purges and what really happened with FanFiction Dot Hellsite when it comes to mature content cause those events sure as hell were not about what y’all seem to think they were.
