Okay so human au for tfo what would be the human equivalent of them getting te-cogs like do they just get magic rocks and the have some crazy growth spurt or something else…? 

Love your art btw

maybe it's like magic??? they don't get a cog but Receive a 'spark' that yeah, gives them a growth spurt like u said, and also gives them.. um.. Magic Weapons & abilities.. and Magic.. vehicles.... ?

Can we Please get Some TFA SparkPlug,given that TFA has alot of plot holes,some of us really wanna see her interacting with the characters

Read No Choice at All by Triscribe and could not get the concept out of my head

[compaculaaa]

Wait what do you mean the helm of D-16 was the easiest to emergence, does that mean Alpha Trion had difficult time with the helm of Orion, Elita and B during emergence

I mean their helms are a lot more uniquely shaped compared to D, here’s how his experience was with each of their helms lol

Sentinel Prime from Transformers Animated is so interesting once you start to click in that like BlackArachnia and Optimus he’s also like, really traumatized from Archa-7. Like yes, he’s an asshole but a bunch of his issues link back to this moment. His Xenophobia and germophobia that cause him to assume every single organic is dangerous and aggressive until very much proven otherwise? It’s because Archa-7 didn’t have much information on it outside the details on the wreckage and then was revealed to be filled with aggressive local fauna that he likely assumes to have killed Elita-1 if the explosion didn’t get her. His beef with Optimus? Optimus pushed them to leave (so they wouldn’t die too) but that meant leaving behind not only the chance of finding Elita alive but also the chance of finding her body.

We can also argue that Optimus choosing to take the blame for the incident as a whole caused some problems because Sentinel knows he’s at fault, but also he’s majorly defensive and Optimus doing this accidentally has given Sentinel the perfect way to shove down and repress his guilt.

There’s also the fact that Optimus also doesn’t tell Sentinel about BA, likely because he’s trying to help them both (and keep her existence secret from the Autobots in case they do target her like she fears)—but this backfires spectacularly in Predacons Rising because Sentinel all at once encounters the information that not only did Elita survive and mutate into something that to him at very least resembles the creatures that attacked them, but also she converted to the Decepticons and appears to be doing unethical experiments—like considering his character, it’s no wonder he said what he did. After all, I’d bet he was likely going through the same stuff Optimus was in Along Came A Spider. It’s obviously what he says is horrible, but also with everything happening, and who Sentinel is? (And we do know this encounter eats at him, the way we focus on his expression as he walks off, and the fact that this episode resolves with Optimus choosing to speak to Sentinel alone and apologize to him? GODDD)

All and all, I LOVE the fact that his trauma responses are messy, because it feels very accurate to his character. Optimus is a character who’s open to change (and someone who does research—as we see him watching old history reels at the start of the show) but comparing him against BA (was accepted by the decepticons likely for her usefulness while still being considered a freak and likely isolated, both which aren’t going to help her view of herself and her new form) and Sentinel (likely hasn’t encountered another organic species since Archa-7 until arriving on Earth and hasn’t had anything to force him to confront his emotions about Archa and Elita) it’s one of the things that make him a great foil to Optimus. Optimus has been given more room to grow and wants to grow, but Sentinel doesn’t quite have much of either of those things.

Honestly I could probably also write a whole thing about Sentinel and Optimus’ on and off friendship and rivalry, especially regarding stuff like Ultra Magnus’ choice to give Optimus a ship (and thus make Optimus a prime anyway despite him being kicked from the academy due to his choice to take the fall for Sentinel) and the whole side plot that was in the plans for TFA season 4 where Optimus and Sentinel were going clashing over being Magnus. Because their dynamic (even outside of Senop!) is so fascinating.

Hang on I just realized I never posted the absolutely wretched wayward sparks memes I made a few months ago

Violence!

[bibliophilesince2003]

Transformers One

I just thought of something sad. Now, my fellow fans, you will suffer with me. I apologize in advance. Also, if you haven't seen Transformers One yet... this is your warning. Spoilers are present!

Orion, D-16, Elita, and Bee were given t-cogs by Alpha Trion. D-16 became a tank, equipped with a massive gun. Orion received smaller guns, but they can only be used in his vehicle form. At least, that's the only time we see them in use before be became Optimus Prime.

That means Orion had the ability to defend himself when he was trying to stop D-16 from killing Sentinel. He took punches to the face. He fell to the ground. I think it's safe to say that Orion knew D-16 would resort to violence, and yet...

He never fired at D-16.

He could have seriously hurt his friend, or at least slowed him down. I think Orion hoped D-16 would stop, evaluate the situation, and consider how to best deal with Sentinel. Orion didn't think D-16 would fire on him... why else would he get in D-16's way? Or, maybe he wanted to keep D-16 from succeeding in his task, which would taint his reputation. Maybe Orion acted recklessly and wasn't really thinking, but I highly doubt that. There was purpose behind it.

Hurting or killing D-16 wasn't his priority, even if he had the ability to use force.

He still held out hope that his best friend would come back. He hoped hesitance and critical thinking would come to the forefront of D-16's mind.

Orion only fights when he has to, even in the bleakest of times. His words are powerful for a reason.

So yeah, now I'm sad. Orion cared more about his friend's condition than his own.

Hmm Sentinel hates the Big bitty as a baby but once he stops drooling and starts to toddle around and speak little words it would probably be all cute trying to hold Sentinels hand as they walked down the hallway babbling on about idk kitties or something and unknowingly melting sparks

the baby actually seems to like him and no one knows why. but they suppose it likes just about everyone... it's always trying to hold Sentinel’s hand and bring him to its little pile of toys… babbles on about nonsense to him the entire time. i imagine it'd have a make-shift little xylophone and it always tries to show everyone the new song it just made up on it, including Sentinel.

on another note, i’m also imagining the possibility that Sentinel is the only person the baby can’t stand to be around ahsusjsjsh like it giggles and coos at the worst, scariest decepticons out there but when faced with Sentinel its face gets all red and it starts squirming in an attempt to get away.
