He’s in your very circuits, peeking into everything you know and don’t know 🖥️ I just find his telepathy and EM scanning to be very cool.. there’s so many things you can do with it I feel like, but I also just really like it when he’s associated with brain stuff cuz well, it fits him so well and with how he’s very.. computery even for a cybertronian, from his voice to his speech patterns and his functions and relations to working tech all the time

Regrets

What are the odds that some random techno electronic song somehow ended up with cybertronian words in it? Imagine you're listening to alien music from a different planet and all the sudden the background music somehow sounds exactly like your name in English. A language the aliens are completely physically unable to understand

Somewhere out there there's an industrial techno album that translates perfectly into one of megatrons early political works

You know, in the context of Unicron making humans, or just Unicron being earth in general—and in contrast to my last post—humans and cybertronians are very different. And it makes sense given the context, what with Unicron and Primus being... enemies? Opposites? The antithesis to the other? What have you.

As much as I like looking at the similarities between cybertronians and humans in an in-lore context, I like it because of the irony. By all intents and purposes, they should be as different as can be. One race is made of flesh, the other metal. One is tiny, the other giant. One is so short lived their lives don't even amount to a blink, the other can live for so long they can watch the births of stars and planets and live to their primes.

Even down to their very lifeblood, they are different.

One is dark red, the other light blue.

They are, quite literally, the color negative of the other.

I made this supper quick, a very nondescript red puddle of nothing you need to worry about, and inverted the color to the puddle bellow that.

Blood and energon.

The difference might as well be written in their DNA and CNA respectively.

And yet.

And yet, they are so, so similar. Personalities, histories, habits, fears, hopes, griefs, desires... even sins.

The relationship humans and cybertronians have on a cosmic scale leaves me in awe.

Primus and Unicron?

Nah, Cybertron and Earth.

As always, additions and shared thoughts are welcomed and encouraged! Don't think I won’t see it. I will talk to you. This is a threat.

I also find it so funny that in a lot of tf media ykw that one scene where one bot always points out that humans are destructive and flawed and Optimus usually goes “just like us” and like

I need mooore. I need it to be cosmically ironic

whenever the idea that humans are unicron’s kids comes up I have want a bot to say that humans are destined to be naturally destructive bc of unicorn and for the human to be like so what??? cybertronians are directly made by a creator/life god, yet they’ve destroyed more planets and caused the extinction of just as many, if not more, species than humans?? themselves included! we haven’t even destroyed a single planet. unfortunately we are working on it-

I’m in love with the idea that bc cybertronians are functionally immortal everything around them has to die for them to balance it out if that makes sense? I feel like last bot standing might have addressed that too but I haven’t read it yet

because humans are the creations of a death/destruction god, death is integrated into our life cycles in a way it isn’t to them. all life on earth will die and has 1001 more options for how to do it than a cybertronian, but all life on earth relies on things dying for other things to live (forest fires clearing out old vegetation, animals eating each other etc) I would find it so funny if unicron made all these creatures in the exact same shape as his opposite’s creations who would die and suffer (it’s giving making sims of people you don’t like to torture them lol) but didn’t except them to make that a feature not a bug. so proud of his little death world space orcs. when he busts out of earth he’s going to take them on a father-daughter universe destroying bonding trip <3

I also like the idea that primus being a life/creator god gave his creations the ability to potentially live forever, with the only exception being when they’re in an endless war where they’re all actively trying to kill each other. he didn’t consider that never dying means never giving back. there is no check to keep them from fighting and destroying planets forever the way death keeps humans in check. in trying to force all things to die, the destruction god sustains ever growing changing life, and thus endless creation. in trying to let things live forever, the creator god ensures his creations will drain the life from everything else, and thus creates endless destruction

same virus different strain <3

[evening-in-a-reflection]

“Just like us” Oppy you get it </3

Also holy shit because you literally pulled this perfectly into a yin and yang balance??? This race created by a being that represents life that live so long that they can't help but become destructive?? That they've destroyed entire planets within their lifetimes in a way that only feeds their creator's opposite??? How it could be a way to balance out their existence as something so long-lived that they actually might be unable to do anything but exactly that????? Holy shit.

And consider, while we may have not yet destroyed any planet so far, what we do have in the Way of Life going for us is that there is just. So. Many. Of. Us. A headcanon I've had is that while cybertronians are long-lived, and don't die easily... there aren't actually that many of them? Especially after the war. Their numbers would line up in the tens of millions before the war, but that's nothing in comparison to the billions of humans that live on earth. And a billion is such a hard number to comprehend because it's just. So big. 1,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 doesn't feel like a big difference, but it's not just, like, some extra zeros after a million. It's one million a thousand times over. Think about that!

So yeah, humans... there’s just so many of us. And I'm a firm believer that humans have a way easier time in reproducing than cybertronians do (in the context that they can reproduce in the “human way” or however you want to put it), so we have that going in the Way of Life for us too.

Also love how you pulled in the “death is a part of the circle of life” and how human of a perspective that is, because that's just not the way things are for cybertronians. While death is a part of a cycle for humans, death is just an end for cybertronians. There's no nourishing new life with your death for cybertronians—there's just not. It's the end. They return to the Well of the Allspark, and that's it. They don't think of an after, of what comes after them, but humans do. We literally have so many examples of humans leaving a legacy in some way, shape, or form. Family heirlooms, traditions, old practices, stories of famous people and what they've done in history... We've, in a way, extended our lifespans past our deaths in the way of who our descendants are.

And. Just. Literally everything else you said. How did I not think of that??? How did I not realize it??? This is such a good addition to my silly little train of thought, thank you for sharing! I'm going to be inserting this into my mental transformers book of “things that I incorporate into my permanent headcanon” because I love this so much, it's so good.

it’s interesting how sometimes an attempt to subvert a problematic trope will become a problematic trope in itself. wait hold on i have a perfect bad luck brian image for this

transformers would probably find the idea that we can smell rain weird, especially if you go with my headcannon that they don't have a sense of smell.

like. you're telling me that not only can you intake the air around you to sense traces of chemicals and particles in it, but you can do that for water falling from the sky???!!!

Back for my monthly post 😍🤞(jk jk)

On a serious these guys have been RUINING my LIFE 💔 ALSO CAN I JUST SAY THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST FICS IVE READ IN A VERY LONG TIME. The stakes! The development! The characterization, world, and dialogue have been running rampant in my head for months now! Every installment has me clutching my pearls! The drama!

‘Guys please if you can I seriously recommend reading @domesticatingaliens fic *drum roll* “To fight aliens, we domesticated other aliens”

I have so many scenes in mind that I would love to bring to life, they have such a fantastic way of writing that it really makes me fall in love with the characters all over again. This is honestly only one of the many fanarts I have in mind 😋

On that note this au was created by the one and only @keferon ! Below is the full image, the scene, and the follow up I was gonna finish but got too lazy to lowkey 💔 my eyes aren’t what they used to be so I take a lot of breaks in between. The colors were going to be a bit brighter but it was starting to hurt my eyes so they’re a bit duller. Thank you for reading!

[froggyformers]

sort of a part 2 to this post? not really but it's on the same sorta vein. kinda.

random-ish ideas/headcannons I have about transformers

- transformers can't smell. I know I said this in that other post, but I want to add to it, only a few of them have the receptors necessary to detect chemicals in the air, but even that isn't the same as a sense of smell

- their lips are well. lips. and they're pliable. but not as soft and movable as human lips. so they have slightly less use, since they don't need as much suction power

- connected to the part in that other post about touch, I think they're constantly shocked by how sensitive humanity's sense of touch is. we can feel a mosquito landing on our skin, our clothes moving, the slightest brush of a hair. must be wild.

[eerie-woods]

Transformers having no sense of smell is my favorite headcanon. Most metals, by nature of being metals and having strong molecular bonds, have no smell.

I think all bots would be able to detect smoke, but they would only have chemoreceptors for other airborne compounds if their job required it (cough functionism cough).

Scientists, especially those who explore other worlds, would have extremely complex, precise chemoreceptors. They could tell general atmospheric makeup and identify millions of compounds. Medics could likely sense humidity and oxidation.

But they still couldn’t smell any of it. It would just be data. There wouldn’t be good smells or bad smells or smells that remind you of way back when.

All that to say, humans enjoying the smell of smoke is so strange to them. Sensing smoke just sends up a warning ping. For us it can mean danger just as much as it can mean food and warmth and other people.

edit: people are starting to say some "my worst nightmare" or "eeeww no that one is yucky and scary" comments on this like they do on any bug post and id like to say. it's fine if you don't like bugs it's fine if you're scared of bugs but don't put that on MY post clearly talking about how much i like them and how cute i think they are. you can make your own damn post about how much you hate wasps or spiders or whatever. i'm blocking people who make these kinds of comments.
