If, in some continuities, Cybertronians have hardly ever encountered water before Earth, how did they wash themselves?

Dear Hygienic Hero,

Ah, of course. I periodically must remind myself that you humans are something like a water-based life form and thus some of you have trouble conceiving of cleanliness without water. Even in the case where we do have access to water on Earth, due to mixtures of carbon dioxide in your air, we tend to find it slightly acidic and somewhat irritating. And this is not to mention the havoc water can wreak on our internal components!

For heavy-duty cleaning, we tend to have dry-ice blast baths. These are not relaxing, I should say—more akin to a dental cleaning. For lighter cleanings we will go on "mist walks". A mist walk is a leisurely stroll we take through a lightly ionized gaseous mist. Walking through the mist ionizes grimy buildup and electrically repels it. Afterwards you may feel refreshed, and if you bring a special somebot, it could even be romantic.

Sometimes we'll do what's referred to as a "T-cog shudder". This is when we spin our morphcores so quickly that we vibrate a bit, as if we were shivering, or perhaps like a dog shaking off water. It is somewhat undignified, and so you won't see it in public often.

I suppose the question of how one goes about washing is mostly a matter of personal preference. For malodorous Decepticons like Blot, Horri-Bull, or Snapdragon, the answer is “rarely, if ever!”

In the Battle and Chase manhua, SHADOW MAN HAS A DAD AND HE HAS KIDS

LITTLE SHADOWLINGS

Is this a Robots 2005 by Blue Sky studios situation?

those are his younger brothers, actually. shadowdad can fucking get it, apparently.

the worst part is, given what we know about shadow man, this isn't entirely implausible. because shadow man is actually an alien drone that was repurposed by wily, we don't know what he was like back home or what he left behind before wily got his mitts on him. did he leave a little alienbot family behind? are they still hoping that one day their older brother will return? are they gazing out at the stars, quietly robopraying every night outside the robowindows of their robohomes that the-artist-currently-known-as-shadowman will come home after saying he's just running to the store to get cigarettes?

the battle & chase manhua is fucking wild.

Remi, posting a picture of Reverse Mermaid Sayu: You will be hit by Fishious Rend whenever you least expect it unless you comment “Thank you, Ms. Fish”.

Everyone: Thank you, Ms. Fish.

I want you to know that this blog is legitimately helping me write the Robot Master’s personalities way better than I feel any other source could. You and your blog are a real inspiration.

thank you very much.

i grew up with megaman and love gushing about it at great length, but only relatively recently joined what kids call "the fandom". if my flagrant shitposting and gushing about minutiae can share that love with other folks, then so much the better.

what a good goddamn game series. what an amazing cast of characters. god damn. shit. fuck. penis.
