Propaganda for G1 Ratchet:

1. He build the Dinobots (with Wheeljack); he already is a dad.

And he built Fireflight with Blaster! Literally two parental figures in both instances.

2. His tits (chest) are huge; great for breastfeeding if you want the mechpreg to be more similar to humans (though that’s after the pregnancy so..).

3. The proposed toy for some toy company:

I mean just look at him! Those eyes..

Your tags are objectively correct btw

OOPS wrong character that’s Slingshot not Fireflight my bad 💀

[yknow-fuck]

Thinking about it being the norm for Cybertronians to have more than one romantic prospect at a time. It’s not seen as cheating to be dating multiple bots at the same time, it’s the efficient way of finding the right one. And they’re naturally drawn to competition, combat, fighting, and this is an extension of that. Nothing motivates love quite like a romantic rival.

[burbur178-specialedition]

YESS!!!

I really like this idea, while also making Starscream really jealous, so sometimes I imagine him getting angry that Megatron is dating multiple people (even if he does the same thing, that hypocrite).

From a monogamous standpoint it makes sense that he’s upset, but you have to remember that this is the standard for them. Polyamory is the norm, so to Cybertronians Starscream is just being a greedy prick.

[yknow-fuck]

To kinda clarify on this headcanon, I don’t really see this as typical polyamory. This is a very specific situation where (in human terms for clarity) someone is dating multiple people at once with the end goal of eventually finding and deciding on the one they want to marry. The end goal is still monogamy, but it’s expedited by seeing several people at once. And not as one off dates either, these are long standing relationships that go on for some time, with some being dropped and new ones coming in.

Like the beginning said, it’s competition. And it’s assurance for that person that they are picking the one that’s right for them. This dating situation can go on for as long as they need to decide (or as long as the others have patience for it) but eventually it will end and there will just be the two people.

That’s not to say an actual polyamorous relationship can’t happen! It’s possible that multiple can come to love each other. But the original premise is still one person dating multiple, who are not involved with each other (who might even actively despise each other). They’re essentially competitors fighting for the affection of the person at the center.

[burbur178-specialedition]

Oh okay I see.

Thank you for clarifying 👍

Swindle hoarding too much money it singlehandedly fucks up the entire cybertronian economic system during the war and whoops!! It's all useless now anyway :3 everybody's just bartering now :3

[sphnyspinspin]

I’m so glad that Cyberworld actually does something cool and new with Bumblebee by there being a huge rift between him and Optimus, it’s so refreshing in such an angsty way I love it <3

So excited to see how Bumblebee continues to let his festering animosity towards Optimus affect him and the whole plot going forward :D

Extremely anxious at the thought of him putting his friends and teammates in danger as a by-product of him trying to take action in spite of Optimus—kind of stemming from him impulsively taking action just so Optimus, and I quote, “doesn’t get to be the hero.”

I mean he obviously did it to take down Galvatron, and his team wasn’t put in harms way as a direct result of his actions—BUT I JUST HAVE A FEELING, I have a feeling that the last shot with Bee having that little zap in his optics after brushing off Elita is foreshadowing a divide between their priorities in specifically dealing with future interactions with Optimus.

GAH I JUST LOVE BUMBLEBEE HAVING TRUST ISSUES IT’S SUCH A COOL ASPECT OF HIS CYBERWORLD COUNTERPART OH MY GOSH (kind of reminds me of his WFC Triolgy counterpart ngl)

[transingthoseformers2]

You know, it's fun in fics when Starscream actively chooses a life of murder over his previous life as royalty/scientist/senator/ect

When Starscream actively chooses to be worse and to be a decepticon, because he's a conniving wretch who likes killing and backstabbing (positive) (affectionate) (with all the Starscream love in my spark)

[transingthoseformers2]

Will admit I'm very much liking Bumblebee's frustrations with Optimus here, feels like more of his character as a person is shining through and its setting us up for fun in S2

[burbur178-specialedition]

Yes! Yes yes yes to all of this plus the tags.

I know some people don’t like that he’s acting out of anger, but I think it makes sense for him as a character. They don’t all have to be 100% flawless and sensible all the time..

He looks so surprised lol. You could even say he’s chocked.

[burbur178-specialedition]

I hate when they make Reflector into one guy. It’s literally their thing being multiple components 😒 do you even like them at all? At that point just make a different character..

‘Is he one person with multiple parts or three identical guys?’ I don’t want that question answered in a simple way, I want it to remain a mystery.

Let them be weird.

[mintaikkcorpse]

It's been a joke in the fandom that they've always wanted Optimus to say "I'm going to turn into a truck now", to the point where there was a campaign for them to put that line in a movie. Everyone's freaking out bcuz their fandom joke came true in an official cartoon

[burbur178-specialedition]

Okay I see, thank you!

I haven’t been in this fandom very long lol

SHOWDOWN BRACKET:

Semifinals will be: Group 1 Winner vs Group 3 Winner, Group 2 Winner vs Group 4 Winner

(Groups in text format + methodology under cut)

Method:

Entries were cataloged in (roughly) chronological order, then numbered off one through four for the groups. Due to the number of mechs per group, there were four in each who would be entering in the second round, rather than the first (for those unfamiliar with tournament brackets, that is called a "bye"). Given where the byes fell, only non-TF mechs received one. Which we felt to be Fair Enough. The transformers do NOT need any help in the tournament lol

I take these prompt-inspired one-shots way too seriously. Because why am I making a fic where Runabout and Runamuck have boring sex from the perspective of Primus 😭
