Could you share some of your thoughts on the dynamic between Hot Rod/Rodimus and Kup? Love them

Aough oufh gifudb oufh

I don't know how to articulate my thoughts again OUGH

"Try to keep up, old timer!"

"'Old timer?!' Why you-"

Anon, these are my #4 and #5 on my top five favorite Transformers list, it may be a jumble of things

Longish response below

Ough the dynamic of all time

Old man with one million stories takes in reckless adolescent who jumps first and thinks later

Their dynamic in the movie is so good. Very strong start

Even with Kup's prickly nature, he never hesitates to help Hot Rod out or give him advice or try to stop him from doing something stupid

And Hot Rod does care about Kup. He helps Kup out when his limbs got torn off no hesitation. And Kup, even with all his complaining said he did a good job all things considered

And Hot Rod DOES listen to Kup when they meet the Junkions Hot Rod goes "How did that universal greeting go? Wait I remember-" and says it perfectly. To show he WAS listening

And then when he becomes Rodimus, Kup's like "I knew he had potential"

And then Rodimus gets like Super depressed which is understandable and then Kup along with Magnus is one of the ones there for him, offering advice and reassuring him because damn Rodimus is not doing well

... You gotta read The Transformers UK issue #132 Kup's Story

It's basically a little comic on how Kup and Hot Rod met and ough

Oughhhh

Basically Kup is traveling alone on a spaceship and has given up on life because his "War Fatigue" aka PTSD is so bad that he just can't fight anymore.

And then Hot Rod whizzes by being chased by two enemies, obviously in trouble

And Kup's like "That guy is so stupid I gotta help him"

So Hot Rod pulled Kup out of his situation by giving him the motivation to fight and Kup pulled Hot Rod out of his situation by looking out for his reckless self

And when they're introduced in Headmasters run they're seen traveling together

They don't have a lot of moments in the US comics, but in the UK comics they have more moments see this post from @arceespinkgun (Hope you don't mind me tagging you because I think you are able to sum it up more concisely than me here)

But I really like they're dynamic and I'm a sucker for parental/mentor-like relations in Transformers

I'd probably be better at summing up my thoughts with sources and pictures if I took more time but I want to answer this ask in a timely manner

I think I want to see their bond in more Transformers things, I want it mentioned in Skybound or Void Rivals, I think Hot Rod being Kup's Iron Apprentice would make sense

But yeah I really like them I'm just bad at summing up my thoughts

I thought it turned nine???

the active covid lockdown stuff messed up my own sense of time-keeping, too. but I actually did the math and, yeah, 2015 was 12 years ago. I can’t believe it.

Would you guys be interested if I posted more of the Dark! Callum AU?

I Love robot. But the answer is how to date a robot?

You date the robot by asking it out. If it doesn’t answer, or answers in the negative, don’t date them.

DA, bursting out of the mirror dimension at 4 in the morning: SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME

>They start scream singing meme songs during meetings and Dark just. Has to deal with it cause it’s not like they're hurting anything, unlike Will, even if he’s humming it afterwards

>Dark has a terrible sleep schedule so he just gives them a dead-eyed stare as they cackle

I'd love to see an emo parasaurolophus! :3

Oh you KNOW he's honkin' out some sad breakup songs thru his crest 😔
