Quickie Transformers Armada Reviews (Warning: much Screamer and Megop feels)
Done in quickies because not enough goes on in individual Armada eps to post full reviews.
Episode 1: Wayyyyy too many squishy humans and not enough Transformers. Though Megatron standing there politely for like five minutes while the humans talk is funny.
Episode 2: Megs vs OP right away let's go. Also Megsy's voice in this is AMAZING btw. Apparently this is OP's VO from TFA. Astounding, I'd never have known.
Episode 3: Seriously the humans have waaaay too much screen time in this show. I only really like the Token Girl Alexis and she gets the least to do.
Episode 4: LAZERBEAK IS WITH THE AUTOBOTS IN THIS VERSION!? Wow Bizarro World
Episode 5: Starscream is clearly the only character in this who is written with any depth or nuance so far. No wonder fans love him.
Episode 6: I did love the Lorax Save the Trees vibes on this one. Wish they'd explore that kind of stuff more often.
Episode 7: An entire episode of humans doing dumb human things. Oh joy.
Episode 8: Megsy's cannon is in the most hilarious place in this show. I mean wow, they're not even hiding how phallic it is. Even his original toy was more subtle. Here it's jut a giant crotch canon.
Episode 9: WOW these are the most annoying humans in the franchise so far. At least Megsy likes em.
Episode 10: Alexis is hilarious and clearly the perfect friend for Starscream. She goes on this long rant about being leader one day and you have expect her to claim 'The Earth Leader has fallen, I Alexis am now your leader"
Episode 11; Carlos, you idiot, how can you be so dumb as to fall in love with a hologram, says the girl who fangirls over cartoon alien robots every day. But surprisingly deep ep here with the stuff about war.
Episode 12: Deep sorrowful contemplation on the tragic and inevitable nature of hte Bot Con war.
Episode 13: IS hot Shot in this show supposed to be its version of Roddy or its version of Bumblebee? Or is he a separate character?
Episode 14: Starscream continues to be the best character with his Angst and Inner Conflict.
Episode 15: Cyclonus did you and Galvatron completely swap personalities in this universe?
Episode 16: Ah, that's the Screamer I know! Arrogantly boasting about being the best and pissing off Megsy.
Episode 17: WOW Megsy that was some manipulative af gaslighting bs. Poor Screamer. He needs a hug.
Episode 18: The writing on this show's dub is so odd I have no idea what's happening half the time. At least the VOs are doing their best.
Episode 19: Another Way too Much Human BS episode, and they still didn't give Alexis enough screen time.
Episode 20: BLURR Please don't die horrifically here. Also he doesn't talk like Blurr or have his usual lovable personality.
Episode 21: I feel like they just took a bunch of random names from TF history and slapped them onto whoever they wanted.
Episode 22: OP doing his usual heroic sacrifice thing. Some stuff never changes.
Episode 23: Megsy sure is being awful to Screamer in this show. And for once other characters care.
Episode 24: OOH YES FINALLY SOME ALEXIS SCREENTIME. And OMG Unicron!? We're getting Unicron already!?
Episode 25: Jetfire is here! And he does a fusion dance thing with OP that's pretty badass.
Episode 26: Megsy this advisor of yours is pretty shady, you might want re think this.
Episode 27: What kind of horror movie monster is Sideways anyway?!
Episode 28: Damn Megs sure has some fancy tools at his disposal in this series.
Episode 29: Seriously Tidal Wave is one hell of a badass con I wonder if he's in other continuities
Episode 30: These are the stupidest human sidekicks the series has ever had, seriously what'd they think would happen?
Episode 31: So OP and Jetfire aren't the only ones with tragically evil decepticon boyfriends they want to reconcile with?
Episode 32: WHEELJACK is an even deceptive non this version huh. They just really picked totally random names.
Episode 33: Oh poor sweet Screamer all your friends abandoned you to your fate to scream at the stars.
Episode 34: Yay Screamer finally fights back! HE JOINS THE AUTOBOTS OMG YES I'VE ALWAYS WANTED THIS FOR HIM.
Episode 35: Screamer and the Bots working together is amazing, he's having so much trouble though. Please don't let this fall apart too fast.
Episode 36: Y'know, we talk about OP&Megs being doomed yaoi in every timeline but Jetfire and Screamer sure do that pretty often too.
Episode 37: Screamer getting a present from all his human friends and not knowing what it is. Also he turns back and my heart is broken.
Episode 38: Poor Screamer and poor Alexis. They want to be besties so badly but life just pulls them apart.
Episode 39: WHAT WILD OUT OF NOWHERE MEGOP MOMENT Megs just screamer OP's name over his latest Heroic Sacrifice omg
Episode 40: And Megs is so bummed out over it he's depressed and the others are like "He lost his rival that's not easy" Yeah yeah we know what Rival means
Episode 41: And he's still not over it, still moping around lookin depressed. Aw Poor Megsy.
Episode 42: AND HE LAUGHS LIKE A MADMAN WHEN OP COMES BACK YOU ARE DOWN SO BAD MEGS
Episode 43: Nemesis prime!? Megs and Screamer getting recolors!? When did this series get cool!?
Episode 44: Megsy (now Galvy) is now so committed to his fight with OP that he is literally ignoring Unicron to focus on it
Episode 45: Hot Shot why do you think you can talk Megsy/Galvy into doing this when OP couldn't?
Episode 46: This backstory is the most wtf shit I've ever seen
Episode 47: Oh Screamer I think you might be doomed by the narrative. What a poignant last goodbye to Alexis
Episode 48: GOODNIGHT SWEET SCREAMER AND FLIGHTS OF PRIMUS SING THEE TO THY REST.
Seriously though I knew Screamer died here but I didn't know that it HAPPENED BECAUSE ARMADA MEGS IS SO FREAKING HORNY FOR FIGHTING OP HE LITERALLY WON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE GIANT FREAKING DEATH BALL RIGHT ATOP HIM.
Your Doomed Robot Yaoi obsession is gonna doom the universe and already killed Screamer.
Episode 49: But it works! He shakes OP's hand! He's all sweet about Starscream and regretful that he died! OMG Galvy when did you get so wholesome?
Episode 50: And he and OP make the most adorable little team leaders! They just team up naturally and Galvy is smiling so much this ep they're so freaking married.
Episode 51: And it just gets better and better and omg they're so protecc of each other, and is Alexis a Decepticon whisperer? She got Galvy to apologize?
Episode 52: OMG ARMADA MEGOP IS THIS THE GAYEST MEGOP OF ALL TIME?!
Like just to run it down, Megsy/Galvy is all like "shit unicorn won't die unless I end my fight with OP guess I better heroically sacrifice myself with one last fight" and then we get:
"Are you repressing your lust hatred for me or do you actually like me? Admit it, Prime!"
"I won't admit to enjoying this..." (you didn't say you didn't OP)
OP upside down on the floor covered in white liquid while Megs tells him he "demands satisfaction" "I wish I could accommodate you" THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING
The interlocking fingers gif
"I've enjoyed every nanosecond of your fight" GALVY MY HEART
"Let me go Prime you have to let me go" he's sacrificing himself heroically what what what
And OP Screaming his name as he dies and ending the series all depressed and drifting through space noooooo
Holy shit so that was Armada. Mostly kind of a meh show at first but got pretty dang good after the halfway mark. Heroic Starscream, and Megs/Galvy giving me such unexpected feels there in the finale. The Cons are the real heroes of this show honestly. What a ride.
I don't think Curly handled the situation well at all, but I'm not gonna sit here and say I would do it any better in fact, I'd probably make things worse...😰
this is 100% what it felt like to try to traverse this dumb region
background image is obviously not mine lmao,, also sorry it looks kinda crunchy I made the canvas too small and by the time I realized it it was too late
a/n: this idea came to me out of the blue and i suck at controling myself so i just had to write it! it’s an extra in the universe of FTS, just a little moment for our power couple in their life after the grammys!

masterlist
It’s been two weeks since the first time Harry told you he loved you. Fourteen entire days since the man you’ve been with these past three months told you he loved you, not just with his actions but with his words as well.
It happened so randomly, so out of the blue. You were at his place and following a long and dreading day the two of you decided to have a shower together. He asked if he could wash your hair and you enjoyed the way his fingers massaged your scalp, the intimacy of such a simple yet heartwarming moment ending the day on a wonderful note.
As the water was washing away the soap of your body he leaned down, captured your lips in a simple kiss before the words fell from his lips.
“I love you,” he said, his eyes searching for yours as first you looked down at the floor before your gaze meeting his, lips parted, heart pounding in your chest.
You wanted to say it back, it was on the tip of your tongue, but no word came out your mouth, a slight panic rushing through your senses from his confession. So you pulled him down and kissed him hard, hoping he can feel that you meant to say it, but you weren’t ready to actually form the words just yet.
It’s been eating you away for so long, because the feeling has been there for a long time, probably since the Grammy’s when the two of you sang your heart out in your duet, but your body is plotting against your mind, not letting you say it the way you want to. But you feel like the moment has come and being the dramatic artist that you are, you want it to be big. Because Harry deserves a grandiose romantic gesture.
You’ve been working on your new album for a while now, but needless to say that when you met Harry, you wrote quite a few songs about him that demanded place on your upcoming record, but so far you haven’t shown him any of them and you have a major reason for that.
The very first one you started writing about him turned out to be a massive song. Not because it has a full ballad as the lyrics, it barely have just a few verses. It’s because what started as just a simple melody for the piano soon turned into a monumental symphony with a full symphonic band and you decided to compose the entire melody, to all of the instruments yourself, because it was the only way the song would feel entirely yours. And Harry’s.
Recordings have been going on for weeks just for this one song, because you needed it to be absolutely perfect since it’s been in consideration to be the title of the album. Now the song is done and you are ready to show it to Harry and finally tell him how you really feel about him.
Sitting at your dining table you watch him type out an email to Jeff, eyebrows furrowed as he is still chewing on the last bit of his dinner. His unruly curls are covering his forehead and you smile to yourself as you reach over and push them back, making him glance up at you.
“What’s gotten you so smiley?” he asks, putting his phone away to turn all his attention to you.
“You,” you tell him, tilting your head to the side.
“Me? And why is that?” he smirks, grabbing your hand before you could pull it back and bringing it to his mouth he gently kisses your knuckles.
“What are you doing tomorrow afternoon?” you ask, ignoring his question.
“I’m guessing you are about to tell me,” he smirks, letting go of your hand so he can rest his chin in his palms. “What were you thinking about?”
“Would you like to come to my recording session?” Harry’s eyebrows shoot up from surprise, he surely wasn’t expecting this.
“You want me there?” He knows how you like to keep your works to yourself until you feel comfortable enough to show it to someone outside of your little team. You’ve only shared with him bits and bites of songs, nothing major, so this invitation is clearly a big deal for the both of you.
“Yes. I want… I have something to show you.”
He could tease you about finally showing him something, or crack a joke about being so into him that you wrote a song about him, but he doesn’t do anything of that sort. Instead, he just smiles back at you with so much adoration and love filling his eyes, it could make your chest burst. Leaning closer he kisses your lips softly before pecking the tip of your nose as well.
“Would love to join you.”
You hold onto Harry’s hand for dear life on your way to the studio where you’re going to have your final recording of the song. His song. A whole orchestra is going to be playing for you and while you’ve recorded the song in layers before, today you’re gonna perform it all together for the first time, every instrument playing at the same time as you sing. You really wanted to have a version of this sort, so you know what it’ll sound like when you perform it later with the prerecorded music.
You can tell that Harry is just as excited as you are, but he is keeping it bottled inside, not bugging you about what he is about to hear. He knows it’s going to be about him, you wouldn’t want to show him if it wasn’t.
When you pass by several studios and head to the grand room, the only place that fits the whole orchestra in it at the same time, Harry seems to be growing curious, but still doesn’t question anything, just follows you silently.
“Hello everyone!” you call out upon walking into the room, the majority of the band is already there, greeting you happily, especially when they see who you’re with. “Um, Harry is going to join us for the recording, hope it’s alright,” you announce with a nervous chuckle and you get a few knowing looks. Everyone in the room knows it’s about him, you’ve been an item publicly long enough and it’s not a hard task to put two and two together.
Harry waves around with a few short hellos and how are you’s as he takes a seat at the front of the room, facing the orchestra and essentially, you when you’ll be singing. You sit next to him and before the recording starts, you feel like you owe a few words for him.
“I’ve been working on this song for… the longest, because it started with just a piano, but then I kept adding more and more until it grew into a whole orchestra,” you admit chuckling and it brings a smirk to his lips as well, his dimples digging into his cheeks. Then you take a deep breath and try to calm your nerves for the next part you’re about to tell him. “Two weeks ago you… told me you loved me and… I’m sorry for never saying it back…”
“I didn’t expect you to,” he speaks up softly. “I didn’t say it to hear you say it back. I know it takes you a lot to figure out your feelings, Y/N.”
“But I have them figured out,” you reply. “I just…” You take a deep breath, feeling yourself getting emotional already. “This song is the first one I wrote about you.”
“The first? So there’s more?” he asks with a small smirk.
“Of course,” you admit chuckling. “But this one… is the most important one. So I want you to hear it.”
Harry nods and doesn’t question you about never finishing your trail of thoughts about your feelings. He just lets you do your thing knowing that it’ll become a whole sooner or later.
Leaning in you kiss him shortly before you stand up and join all the incredible musicians and get ready for the recording. Harry gets a headset so he can hear everything clearly and when everyone is settled, the recording starts. The song kicks out with you singing acapella.
“I used to hear a simple song, that was until you came along. Now in its place is something new, I hear it when I look at you.”
Then the piano starts playing and eventually the violins join softly before you start singing the second verse, making the melody flow perfectly. You keep your eyes off of Harry, but you can feel his intense stare on you as he listens.
“With simple songs, I wanted more, perfection is so quick to bore. You are my beautiful, by far our flaws are who we really are."
The piano and the violins continue playing, getting more and more dynamic with each played note and you feel a shudder run down your spine. The whole song starts to grow as the wind instruments join in, slowly pulling the melody up to its peek that’s about to come soon. And then it happens. Your eyes find Harry’s when you start to sing the next verse, the whole orchestra playing behind you at its fullest.
“I used to hear a simple song, that was until you came along. You took my broken melody and now I hear a symphony…”
The melody continues as you add some vocals, singing your whole heart and soul out, your eyes still set on Harry before suddenly, the instruments cut out and you sing your last line with just the piano playing the last few chords along with you.
“And now I hear a symphony.”
The room grows quiet and your chest is heaving, vision blurry as you couldn’t stop yourself from tearing up. Your emotions washed over you, sweeping you off your feet and now your bare soul is lying in front of Harry’s feet who is still staring at you frozen.
At first you panic at his lack of reaction, but then you see him wipe his eyes and you realize he is crying. Just as you step off the podium and head in his way, he takes his headset off and starts walking in your way and the whole orchestra start cheering and clapping when he envelopes you in his arms, holding you so tight you can barely breathe. You laugh through your tears when he lifts you up and twirls you around in the air before setting you back down and kissing you all over your face, wherever he reaches you. Cupping his face in your hands you pull back a little so you can look into his glistening eyes.
“I love you,” you finally tell him with shaky lips, a weight finally falling off your shoulders and chest now that you’ve said it.
“Oh baby, I love you too,” he smiles, before pulling you in for a kiss that’s soaked by your tears, but by far the sweetest you’ve shared. “I love you so much,” he mumbles against your lips.
“What do you think about the song?” you ask finally pulling away, wiping your tears off your cheeks, not even caring that there is a whole orchestra watching the two of you interact.
“I’m pretty sure this is what they play when you enter Heaven,” he chuckles making you laugh as you smack his chest playfully. “No, but really. It’s brilliant. I’ve never heard anything like this. And having you sing it live for me with the whole orchestra… My mind is blown, baby. It’s going to be hard to top it with anything,” he adds chuckling.
“That was my plan all along,” you admit with a laugh before you pull him down for another kiss.
