Heh okay so,TF anon once more and I'm here to RANT because sadly you have activated something in me. While the bots do mostly act like cars,they don't require gas or petrol. There's this thing called Energon that's basically their life source. It's basically their answer to blood,food and even some medical assistance.
From what I remember, Bumblebee doesn't talk/buzzez/uses a radio is because his voice box got ripped out by the decepticons in the war? (The decepticons at basically the same as the autobots, they're just evil and follow Megatron's command who is like their leader basically) (The war I'm talking about is the autobots vs the deception war that happened on their planet, Cybertron, a LOOOOOONG time ago). Sometimes he does talk, depending on the show but it's usually considered that he can't. Fyi the transformers lore is different in like,every show so sometimes there might be inconsistencies between them so... there's also that lol.
Also the thought of IK driving a truck is hilarious, especially since Optimus is like one of the big shots of the autobots and all bots in general (from what I remember,Primes are certain bots that get picked by primus himself (which is the first bot EVER and he turned into their fucking planet lol) if they're deemed worthy and Optimus is the last Prime if I remember correctly).
I also feel IK and Ratchet (specifically the one from Transformers Prime) would be hilarious together (he's a sassy diva)
Soo Uh,If you ever wanna dig deeper into this AMAZING fandom,I suggest you start with Transformers Prime which you can find all three seasons of on YouTube on the official yt channel...
ANYWAY I'm done ranting because I fear I will keep going if I don't stop...
i've been browsing the wiki and the sheer extent transformers lore is nuts. it was thinking so small when i conceptualised it as 'robot car movies' in my head, there is so much of everything. "This loose structure of internal politics tends to generate more than a little conflict, given how generally every Decepticon thinks that they're the most powerful" is really funny
i don't know why but i keep imagining ik just accidentally walking/running into various parts of the transformer and there's just a really loud CLUNK sound. like this would be a running gag for her where she keeps misjudging how huge they are and how they situate themselves in space, just "okay see you guys :)" (walks off screen) (CLUNK) "ow!"(pause) "i'm okay!"
she spends a few weeks recording her friends saying various things and putting it all on one long tape for bumblebee so he has access to more things to say. satan is nice and records a bunch of lines from classic poetry and novels. asmo records mostly compliments for himself. mammon records a bunch of swear words which are then followed by the distant sounds of lucifer scolding him for recording a bunch of swear words
ik also adds a bunch of miscellaneous sound effects like a cat meow, an airhorn, a doorbell... fnaf jumpscare sound effect.... just imagine someone saying something and then he can go (sad horn) "womp womp"
