after a few thousand years you just start tuning him out sometimes

[witchofthesouls]

Ahhh Thundercracker is all of us at that point

[penny-anna]

See now I'm thinking about all the seekers transitioning one by one until Thundercracker is the only he/him left in the group so they're all watching him expectantly and then one day he's like 'i have something to tell you guys' and they're like '!! Yeah?' and he's like 'this is something I've wanted for a long time and I've finally worked up the courage to say it out loud' and they're like 'YEAH??' and he's like 'yeah. Im gonna be a screenwriter.'

Jazz, on guard duty: *screaming*

Optimus: what's wrong, are you alright?

Jazz: Optimus help it's some kind of giant mold spore

Jazz: Optimus it has beady little eyes and it's staring at me what do I do do I shoot it why is it staring at me like that

Optimus:

The giant mold spore under discussion:

[penny-anna]

Prowl: I'm maintaining surveillance on the power plant. A human is approaching accompanied by some kind of snake with legs. Unsure if this constitutes a threat.

Optimus: a snake with legs? Can we get visual

Prowl: *extremely blurry photo of woman out walking a dachshund*

[penny-anna]

Thundercracker: you have a dog? I love dogs!

New human friend: oh you should come over some time, I'll introduce you

*later*

Human friend: here he is! This is Sandy

Thundercracker:

Sandy:

Thundercracker:

Sandy:

Thundercracker:

Human friend: you okay TC?

Thundercracker: what kind of animal is this and where is the dog you promised me

[penny-anna]

Sideswipe: Optimus check it out, we found a dog in the woods!

Sunstreaker: it was just roaming around

The very confused bear in Sideswipe's loving arms: ?? ??

Sideswipe: isn't it cute?

Sunstreaker: can we keep it?

Very confused bear: ???? ?????

Optimus:

i lost my fucking mind over this post https://www.tumblr.com/penny-anna/767431385150570496/starscream-you-cant-hit-a-gay-robot?source=share by @penny-anna

TC and his many boyfriends should be the only ones allowed to be at Pride again. The rest are banned for life

[penny-anna]

obviously the doylist reason why the Autobots keep befriending human children is bcos they are in a kids TV show but on a watsonist level i like to think they're a bit hazy on what children actually are

[penny-anna]

like obviously on a rational level they understand what a child is but it's a completely alien development stage for them and all humans are extremely young and tiny and vulnerable from their perspective so idk if they'd fully understand it on an emotional level. none of them were ever children.

'this human child says they're old enough to sneek into a Decepticon base with us? well I guess they'd know'

[penny-anna]

Prowl: Mr Witwicky I have a question

Sparkplug: shoot

Prowl: at what age is it appropriate for a human to handle a gun?

Sparkplug: huh. well the youngest you can own one is 18, so I guess 18. why?

Prowl: no reason at all. unrelatedly, can you remind me how old Spike is?

Sparkplug: he's 14?

Prowl: thank you this has been very informative. I have to leave immediately.

Prowl: Spike I'm going to need you to give that back right now - Spike let go

Sparkplug: ....

[penny-anna]

Honestly so so cute to me that Spike & Carly grow up and have a baby while still being friends w the autobots in G1

Like can u imagine them taking baby Daniel to visit the autobots for the first time.

Carly: do you want to hold him?

Optimus: yes alright

Carly: *very carefully puts the baby into his hand*

Optimus:

Carly: why are you making that noise are you okay??

Optimus, making a horrible wheezing sound that's the Cybertronian equivalent of ugly sobbing: how is he so small

[penny-anna]

Daniel's baby album is full of pictures of him being held by Autobots + one Decepticon (Thundercracker snuck in)

[penny-anna]

Bumblebee, looking through the album: aw this is so sweet -

Bumblebee: IS THAT THUNDERCRACKER

Carly: yeah

Bumblebee: you let a decepticon hold the baby??

Spike: well he asked very politely

[penny-anna]

#I think some of them would be initially freaked out by the baby #like tracks sees baby daniel for the first time and is like WHAT IS THAT #idk like jazz being scared of the humans in animated

dfgfdhgh i'm imagining them just not having got a close up look at a human baby before & having pictured them looking like shrunken down children. seeing 2 week old Daniel and going oh my god Carly what's wrong with him?? why is he shaped like that

[ratica]

From the tags, and now I need to know why @cmofirstaid was being held by NBA players as a baby.

Megatron: it's pride month, Starscream. You know what that means

Starscream: huh. what.

Starscream: do you want us to steal like. gay energy.

Starscream: what

[penny-anna]

#*optimus voice* they have stolen the gay energon. this is a most grave threat.

at the pride parade:

Optimus: get out of here, Megatron, leave these people alone

Megatron (wearing rainbow bunting) (surrounded by Decepticons also wearing rainbow accessories): ohh, I see how it is. the parade is open to everyone except us gay Decepticons. so much for inclusivity!!

Optimus: hmm alright. I suppose I can't in good conscience ask you to leave. you can remain - so long as you're here because you're gay and not because you're up to no good

Megatron, to the Decepticons: excellent. Optimus Prime has been trapped by his commitment to LGBT rights. everyone is going according to plan; as soon as the Autobots let down their guard, we will steal the gay energon

[penny-anna]

*once the plan has been exposed*

Megatron, ripping off his rainbow bunting: mwa ha ha ha! the gay energon is mine! now - yes what is it

Thundercracker, hand raised: wait I'm confused. does this mean we aren't gay anymore? because five different guys have given me their phone numbers and I'd hate to disappoint them

Megatron: ...

Megatron: I don't care what you do on your own time Thundercracker, be as gay as you want

Thundercracker: ok thank you

Megatron: well anyway the gay energon - *gets punched in the face by Optimus Prime*

[penny-anna]

Starscream: you can't hit a gay robot! homophobia!

Jazz: but I'm also gay?

Starscream: ah but you can be gay and homophobic

Jazz: you're gay and homophobic, Starscream!

Starscream: no you - *gets run down by Ironhide in truck mode*

[penny-anna]

#what does gay energon do differently than normal energon? #or does that not matter_ only the fact that it's energon? #i imagined it was humans giving TC their number and i was rolling with it

yes Thundercracker was getting asked out by human men. as for the gay energon, i have no idea.

[penny-anna]

Megatron: it's pride month, Starscream. You know what that means

Imagine you're a pilot in the US air force out on manoeuvres or whatever and you see a weird unfamiliar plane flying around not responding to any hails so you go to check it out. But when you get close enough to see into the cockpit there's just a dog in there. The dog does not seem to be flying the plane but is strapped in and wearing a helmet. The dog is looking at you like 😛. Before the rest of your squad can see the plane just nyooms away. No-one will ever believe you.

Anyway you just ran into Thundercracker taking Buster up for a little ride 🙂

[crackingthunder]

g1 thundercracker defects but not because of any noble reasons hes just like the new plan is the stupidest thing ive ever heard. can i sleepover. he just showed up outside the base with his novels, half written screenplay, and a dog. no one knows where he got it from. theyre like yeah okay. turns out thundercracker is pretty chill. and now starscream & skywarp are too busy having drama with him on the battlefield

[penny-anna]

sorry just reblogging this post again bcos i remembered it & had the mental image of him turning about face in the middle of one of Megatron’s rants and just walking away without a word. face expressionless. doesn’t stop till he gets to Autobot headquarters.

[crackingthunder]

absolutely beautiful mental image and 100% correct. he would.

[penny-anna]

This is him

That's the G1 Thundercracker motto, if shit sucks hit da bricks

[penny-anna]

I think Cybertronians would massively overestimate how long organic beings live for even when trying to compensate

'humans are organic so they don't live very long compared to us. They probably only live like 10, maybe 15 thousand years'

[crackingthunder]

There is this panel from a Transformers Holiday special in which Human Enthusiast Thundercracker says this lol (he's a bit more in the ballpark tho so you can give him that)

[crackingthunder]

go watch TF ONE if you havent its incredible

[crackingthunder]

thought i should say, sorry, i really just use main for transformers posting now. i might reblog the stray thing to this blog but not really a guarantee. i am far more active on main @coderiderr and have a pretty hefty queue of tf stuff set up :]
