Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot.

Today in “Transformers lines that have no right to be as good as they are”, I present to you this page from the IDW Spotlight: Blaster issue. (Which, but the way, is a good issue.)

This one reminds me a little of that one line people quote from the Megatron origin comics. A lot of lines in the comics are just, like, fine. They serve their purpose. Every once in a while though, you get one like the aforementioned Megatron quote, and like this one. A line that just makes you stop and take it in.

(If you wanna know what this comic is about, that’s below the cut to avoid spoilers)

Also, spoilers warning, but for those have read the comic in question or don’t mind being spoiled: this is the one where it’s revealed that Blaster was “The Voice” of the Autobots, and basically the one who helped motivate the forces on the battlefield by rallying them. Around the time of the “Thunderwing debacle” (long story short, Decepticon scientist notices Cybertron is dying. No one listens, so he tries an experimental technology that changes his body to resist the death of the planet but it destroys his mind in the process. He becomes consumed with the need to devastate everything in his path, and it takes the Cons and Bots working together to finally defeat him. But not before doing irreparable damage to Cybertron), Blaster is rallying the troops for one final push. Then he’s attacked and goes silent. Years past, and he’s drifting in space, in stasis. When he’s finally back with the Autobots, it’s eventually discovered that Beabcomber was the one who attacked him, and he did so because Soundwave mind controlled him cause the Cons believed taking out “The Voice” would demoralize the Autobots enough for them to have the advantage. This line is taken from the part of the issue where Blaster confronts Beachcomber.

Personally, it’s one of my favorite Transformers lines so far. I can’t even explain why.

But hey. That’s all I have to say for now. Until next time, folks.

“ People think dreams aren’t real just because they aren’t made of matter. Dreams are real. But they are made of viewpoints, of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes. ”

Well, there are a lot of ways. You can just be there. To listen. To talk. To cheer him up if he’s having a bad day. And on the bad days, you can ask what you could do to make things easier. Standing by his side, even when things are hard— But also knowing that sometimes people need more support than just one person can give. That’s love, darling.
