Thinking about Altmodes.

The fact that cybertronians even have the ability to “scan” vehicles (created by other alien species) tells me that they’ve always not only been aware of other intelligent species, but also possibly interacted with them. They were designed to interact with them that way, assuming scanning was an ability Primus gave them and not an extra gadget they added into their frames afterwards (Which is also an interesting concept) But maybe that interaction only went one way.

Taking the catchphrase Robots In Disguise™️ seriously, it is easy to imagine cybertronians being a horror story for other species. Aliens that hide in plain sight, lying in wait. Indistinguishable from the very vehicles you use to travel around. Would you trust your car, be sure it wasn’t replaced? Cybertronians would be TERRIFYING if they wanted to conquer your planet from the shadows.

On another note, I like to imagine there’s More Than Meets The Eye™️ to scanning altmodes. It’s not just to hide. Take TFP for an example. Neither Airachnid nor Dreadwing/Skyquake transformed before scanning an altmode even though they were in situations where doing so would have greatly helped them. This was probably an animation thing, the people making the show not having the time and budget to design two seperate altmodes for the characters.

However, if we read into it, I think it’d make sense that the true reason they scan earth-based altmodes is that their cybertronian altmodes are not fully compatible with earth. Or at least they don’t know how compatible they would be so instead of risking they wait to scan an earth-based form. Especially when it comes to flyers. The atmosphere, the gases in it, the gravity, all work a whole lot differently on other planets. It’s more advantageous to become something that was built to maneuver on this planet, than trying your chances with your cybertronian altmode and seeing how it fares in this unfamiliar environment, while also in the middle of a battle.

The Autobots specifically mention to Wheeljack and Smokescreen that they needed an earth-based altmode for disguise purposes, so we know they could have probably transformed this entire time but simply chose not to out of convenience.

They would probably not be able to go back to their earth-based altmodes again without scanning if they reverted to their cybertronian ones, which is why they don’t when they go to Cybertron. I also imagine the process of un-scanning an altmode (dunno what else to call that) would take a while, so if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

In episode where Arcee and Jack go to Cybertron, she’s gonna come back in a few hours so why would she go through the trouble? In the movie, they don’t really have a reason/motivation to do so. The Autobots probably want a reminder of Earth, Decepticons like Shockwave and Megatron already have cybertronian altmodes. I don’t think we see Knockout transform but he’s always been very vocal about how pretty he is as a car so he probably kept his altmode as well.

That leaves only Starscream to be explained, and my personal headcanon is that he secretly grew to like human-made aircraft. Although it would’ve been cool to see him as a cybertronian jet in the movie, the movie scriptwriters didn’t really care about Starscream anyway.

In my AU the earthplane enjoyment is in part due to him bonding with Nicole and pitying all the trouble humans have to go through to achieve what comes to him naturally.

Dratchrod where instead of Ratchet sitting in a cuck chair watching Rodimus fuck his wife, Drift and Rodimus are fucking inside of Ratchet in ambulance mode. He can't really "see" what's happening inside, but he can feel everything. He feels Drift's claws sink into the padded bench while he squeezes Rodimus' helm between those thick thighs as his valve is eaten out, he can feel the transfluid pooling under Drift and dripping onto the floor from Rodimus' valve and spike. When Rodimus throws Drift to the floor and rams his spike into him hard just like he likes, it makes Ratchet's sirens go off. There's no way for him to release his pent up charge in his alt mode, so when he transforms back Drift and Rodimus better be ready for another round.

the ultimate form of cucking... Letting your husband and his best friend fuck inside of you.

It's a tight fit inside of Ratchet's alt, but he's a big ambulance, made to carry multiple bots, so they fit just fine enough, and any bump against the walls is just a bonus for Ratchet, who goes from mildly annoyed by their shenanigans to insanely aroused in literal minutes. Lubricants and transfluid pool inside of his alt-mode, steam is fogging up the windows. His charge has never been this high, and he can't even grind against something to help himself, he just has to helplessly listen to Drift and Roddy moaning....

I can never remember if I posted these up and then I can never find them so here we go: I've been devising ideas for a Supermarionation/Transformers crossover so here's what I imagine Starscream and the Elite Trine would look as in this AU.

The alt-mode brainrot got me soooo bad. You commenters sure know how to put worms in a guy’s head LOL. 

Have some more silly G1 Jazzprowl <3

I hate it when people say 'oh they changed Megatrons altmode from being a gun cos of political correctness' Like, no. A child was shot because he was mistaken for carrying a real firearm. It's not political correctness, it's common sense.

Toys Review: Onyx & Micronus Prime

For those of us into Transformers Lore, as well as us appreciative of getting figures for characters that haven’t had a toy yet (instead of yet another Optimus or Bumblebee), the Age of the Primes toyline has been very promising thus far.  In particular getting toys of the Original 13 Primes, the first 13 ever Transformers (unless you count Primus and Unicron themselves).  And today we are…
