Welcome to my blog!

Hi! I'm Stargirl and this is my transformers blog, where I go insane about alien robots and throw my thoughts into the void.

#I have had this blog for more than a year it was about time to make something like this #I will add more stuff when I remember #intro post #stargirl screams into the void

Tales of the sentient metal: Triple changers

During the Golden Age, some bots developed a mutation that allowed them to have two alt modes; lumps that would grow over the bots' protoform and eventually take the form of new kibble.

The first recorded case was Skyklik, who emerged as a jet but had grown the kibble necessary to transform into a helicopter. To say that his case caused a commotion would be an understament. Once word got out, his face started to appear in every single media outlet: everyone was amazed by his existence, everyone wanted to see him transform. It was around that time that the term "triple changer" was coined, used to describe Skyklik and, eventually, all the others that would come after him.

Triple changers have been cool when it was only Skyklik, but when other cases started to appear panic surged. Some believed that the mutation was contagious, or a punishment from Primus– however, the most common belief was that triple changers were, simply, defective. Said belief was reinforced by the fact that, unlike Skyklik, most of those who had the mutation didn't have two functional alt modes; sometimes the kibble they would grow wasn't enough to make another alt mode, sometimes said kibble would block the access to their first alt mode. Those who could affort it paid to have the kibble removed, but most of them resigned themselves to live with it.

It didn't help that scientists couldn't explain the mutation. There seemed to be no precedents for it, no common denominator, just a random development. However, over time, the mutation became less frequent and, with the public taking their attention off triple changers, trying to find their origin became less of a priority.

Eventually, triple changers started to emerge that way, with two alt modes, and the public opinion about them started to vary as more bots began to appreciate their "uniqueness".

hi hello, suddenly arriving at the most fitting place I know, though perhaps at a stupid time

am I a weirdo or is this guy from idw19 like a weird mix between Blitzwing and Springer? (with the latter's colour scheme, almost entirely; I clearly see the green and a greyer version of idw1 Springer's yellow)

the uh. possible implications or sth

p.s. dude's name is "Roughstuff", why were they naming Cybertronians like that [*]

Sometimes I'm like "wait I can't name my ocs that, it's too stupid 😔" and then the canon mfs have names like "Roughstuff" lmao (Blitzwing would definitely name his kid something like that lol)

And damn, he does look like a Springblitzling, huh 👀

#crying at being “the most fitting place” you know lol #it's an honor 🫡🫡#also it's not a stupid time you can always send anything you want at the comms <3 #Transformers sparklings #wawaposting #lowkey #funnily enough the draft I was writing about the unplanned springblitzling is named “Rough”#stargirl answers

Last Stand of the Wreckers #4 (2010) variant cover by Trevor Hutchison

I was looking through some old archives and I found this

#it was 4 am and I had a vision #cause I'm a punkrocker yes I am

I have despised the "Apology tour" since Hasbro announced it and every single thing they do during it just makes me hate it more.

It's just them telling the "Optimus dead childhood ruined" joke over and over again, and it really pisses me off. It's the anniversary of the 86 movie, you would think that they would do– idk, things that actually focus in the movie? Because with the way they market it you would think that the movie ended when Optimus died. We didn't have the movie crew trying to save Cybertron, or the scenes with the Quintessons, or the visit to Junkion, or the Rodimus vs. Galvatron battle, no– just the battle of the first 30 minutes and Optimus dying.

Like bro, BUMBLEBEE IS BARELY IN THE MOVIE, WHY IS HE IN THE MOVIE MERCH???

Actually, you could say the same about Optimus. He is barely in the movie. He dies and that's it, the others went on. The movie is not the best thing ever but it's fun, the cast is great and I believe they could have done more things with it. Dealing with Optimus' ghost is a really interesting concept, and it could have been great to see it play out if they had ignored the backlash that came with it. But they didn't, focusing in the backlash have been the only thing they done in this 40 years, so now we get repetive stories and repetive jokes.

Yay.

#hot rod is the protagonist of the movie and he is nowhere to be seen you have to laugh #idc about “childhood trauma” those kids are at the very least pushing 50 get over it #Hot Rod came too early and now he is cursed to the void forever #Springer was found dead in Miami #stargirl rants
