#tf theory

[dezmolad]

it's not a crazy idea that Ratchet remembers and associeates autobots by their dumbest injuries he had to treat. BUT. imagine if he'd recognise a decepticon by the damage they caused, and those things being main things he connects to a 'con. He sees a patient and goes like "oh! shot in the back, null ray, Starscream!". Megatron could have a crisis if he'd ever known that for Ratchet he's not "the scary warlord" or even "the slag-maker" but "fusion canon, lausy aim".

Transformer Prime Theory: The Optics

It’s interesting how, in TFP, the characters all have a variety of optics sizes and shapes, instead of everyone having plain solid colours like in G1 and most other continuities. And I personally believe there is some more biological reasons why some of these optics look the way they are (some big, some small, some solid colours and others not, and some having rings and others not).

TW: starvation mention.

THEORY #1:

The size of the optics is determined by how well fed and healthy the transformer is.

Firstly, we can see that most Transformers with big optics are Decepticons, who we always know have more Energon mines and supplies than the Autobots.

Secondly. Megatron has a big optic that take over the entire frame, and he is totally someone who would have a feast himself first before feeding his subjects. On the contrary Optimus have one of the smallest optic in the show, probably because, unlike Megatron, he would only eat himself when he knows his subjects are well fed. (Poor Optimus)

Thirdly, Breakdown and Bulkhead also have some of the biggest optics in their teams. Breakdown is one of the few in the show whose optics are complete solid colors, and, although Bulkhead’s optics are not solid colours, or completely take over the frame, they are still much bigger than most other Autobots. This is probably because they are both the muscles of the team so they must have been fed more so that they can be stronger and fight better. (Cliffjumper might have been one, too, because he also got a huge optic, but we never hang around him enough to know for sure)

Fourthly: Bumblebee also got big optics, probably because he is the youngest Autobot, and is probably still growing in a way, so everyone would want to make sure he got enough nutrients to grow up big and healthy.

Fifthly: I think this is the best proof of all. So throughout the show Starscream’s optics are always quite big and round (though it is not always obvious in bright lightings).

(“Partner”, Season 1 Episode 20)

However, in the Orion Episode, while Starscream was sneaking into the Nemisis to steal energons, his optics suddenly fill the whole frame

(“Orion Pax Part One”, Season 2, Episode 2)

This is likely because, since Starscream had gone rogue at this point, and we know that in “Rock Bottom” (Season One Episode 19) Starscream has been hiding energons for himself, perhaps Starscream hasn’t yet learned how to manage supplies sustainably on his own, and quickly drained his resources that he’s hide for himself before. Thus, more energons in the eyes. That’s probably also why he has taken the risk to go back to the Nemisis to steal Energon cause he was out of it already. He was living feast or famine at this point.

Now, there are some bugs in this theory, such as why Knockout have such a small pupil despite not having any reasons to starve. However, knowing Knockout and his obsession with his appearance, I believe he would totally put himself on a diet to look even more fabulous. I don’t think Transformers can really gain weight from Energons, though, at least not in the way we think, but Knockout could also just love the look of a small optic and think it fits his beauty, so he starved himself to achieve that.

One question you might have for the theory, “But it has been going around that Ratchet starve himself to save the supplies for the others, but his optics are big?” Now. Ratchet, I believe, is a different situation, which leaves us to theory #2.

THEORY #2:

The ring around the optic signify how intensely the optic was used.

Firstly, like mentioned above, Ratchet have a special optic: his centeral pupil itself is pretty small, similiar size with Optimus’s, but it got a big ring around it, making it look big. Now I think the ring have nothing to do with how well fed the Transformer is, like the theory above, it is there to supply more Energon to the function of the optic, and making it sharper basically. Knockout also have one, probably for the same reason as Ratchet.

Secondly: Bumblebee also have one. Understandable. He is the scout, he need to look afar a lot.

Thirdly: if you look closely you can see that Optimus got these colorless, metal ring around his optic, too, which no one else have, but it doesn’t have Energon in them. This is probably because he probably used to have them, as Orion Pax, who was an archives working in front of computers all the time. But over the years of not using it in the same way as much as the Prime, Energons left the ring and left the area, leaving the empty ring behind.

Now, there goes my theories and how I think the optics works, kind of. There is still a lot that I am still working on and might make another post off in the future, such as why some of them had a white ring/circle in their optics (I don’t think white rings work the same as blue rings, cause Bulkhead have a white ring but he doesn’t have any reasons to need good vision more than others.) and why their optics are different colors.

I can't stop thinking about how canonically TFA Autobots have a technology to change a Transformer's frame, it's mentioned in Almanac that Drift voluntarily reformatted himself into an Autobot shell, and like sure he got that voluntarily but base on everything we know about Elite Guard, especially what they did to the Jettwins, there is no way they didn't used this technology without consent. Like that whole theory that Bulkhead is actually a war frame makes a lot of sense now.

Also Shockwave! Maybe in this universe Senator Shockwave was a Elite Guard who spoke out about war frames' rights and rest of the goverment was like "if you love war frame so much, why not become one" and forcefully reformatted him

*Couple theories*

Good.

Because Optimus Prime is gone. We lost him.

No you don’t.

No you f**cking don’t care otherwise Spike wouldn’t be saying this. You’d help him and Carly understand that all sentient beings are supposed to be equal (and not just be [maybe] seen and not heard).

You wouldn’t put it on everyone else, and especially Magnus (who was tortured for hundreds of years if not way longer) to look after young sentient beings who need you, Optimus.

Who you promised to take care of.

…

Oh what?

Haven’t you learned by now after 6 months of hopefully getting to know us, before the 3 volumes of scrap hitting the fan one right after the other, how dangerous we humans can be? How much damage we can do out of ignorance, fear, and even selfishness? Remember how Spike got injured? And how he can’t do much because of his injury?

Why did he have to give you a pep talk Prime?

And now…Spike will likely die. Why?

Because he was deemed to be weak. To be useless by someone whose job, he would basically tell you, condescendingly, it is to maintain strength (sound familiar?)

Instead of…idk…defense. In a smart way. Or preventing crises. In a smart way.

(It brings me comfort to know that Flagg in the last crossover, would mince Skybound Flagg, and not gaf if he’s executed for it)

Yeah you guys notice how Flagg didn’t even introduce himself to Spike.

And show up alone. With guns (he did not have this when he was with the Autobots).

Totally not f**king creepy at all.

(Look, if you want to make yourself look less intimidating…bring non-armored witnesses, and one of them has to be a woman that’s not up for debate)

(Wearing gloves + keeping head down very smart of her yes. Hope she’s okay cuz I’m sure you know how lots of women are treated in the US military)

Yeah as for Carly, with her being good with guns…

Wait…

How did she get those guns? Didn’t Sparkplug’s fellow vets provide them?

And how did…again, how was Magnus tracked down so fast—

“Carly’s backpack remember?”

…

No. No you’re not f**king saying—

“Listen to me, Anioł. Betrayal is our best friend. Suspicion swirls in our soul. Look at the evidence provided”

*Deep breath*

There’s a couple possibilities here, yes.

“She has parents. With an ‘s’. It was not a typo in Volume 1 the writers may have a plan here. When she tried to find her mother after Starscream’s retreat, when things calmed down, she found Flagg instead. He said that he would keep her mother safe only if she were to do what he says and help protect the country”

I’m following.

“We’ve learned Flagg’s damn good with guns in the OG. Shooter directly reported to him despite them having never met according to him in Declassfied. She knows how to take pain here. And in some ways…so does Carly in terms of her emotions”

…

“He thought Carly after everything he invested into her was getting too close with Transformers. That’s what he doubted. After Carly almost said ‘I’m sorry’ to Arcee when Magnus got—”

Stop. Oh God—

“She’s an Iron Apprentice and he’s Chiseled f**king Steel, son. And you can’t have steel without iron”

STOP. NO—

NO DON’T SAY THIS—

“She’s an Ulchtar going to be turned into the next Starscream, Anioł, and if you weren’t replaced with Nemesis Prime at Shadow Watch, or you’re not still infected by Megatron, Optimus Prime—

You’re going to be very f**king sorry”

So I know for a fact that ancient Spartans learned dancing so they can fight better so imagine if Decepticons did that too.

In dancing you go with the rhythm of the Music and in the sky you use air around you to be faster and agile, dance also makes you adapt to different things so it was very useful. I can see Starscream dancing with his soldiers during practice and keeping an eye on their movements and if they are missing a beat or overall make mistakes. Some decepticons didn't want to participate but Soundwave and Starscream are dying to host them, put Telephone by Lady Gaga and watch officer dance like he was the star of the night but don't challenge Starscream in Irish steps or you will break your ankles. Megatron was reluctant to it but after Soundwave and Starscream begged him he joined and for an ex gladiator he was amazing at waltzer. Starscream is his dance partner and he was a bit scared when he stepped on his foot a couple of times but he persisted. Dreadwing joined too and he also learned Irish steps so he and Starscream always compete who will be better. The whole ship loves it and happily participates in them, even though they are not mandatory. This also helps them to disassociate from the war problems and to explore the planet that they are on. Although he won't admit it Megatron especially likes them because he can be gentle and soft without being judged and he takes every opportunity to have them, Starscream also likes them because it reminds him of home, memories of him dancing alone in his apartment make him the happiest person ever.

Drop in the comments what do you think?

[robobrainrot]

I'm right.

Could Reggie’s Dad be in Endless?

Judy did say that Reggie reminded her of her father in many ways, maybe one of those ways was that he also liked to run away from societal expectations, and just like with Reggie, that led him to Endless? And if he did have access to Endless, he might have decided to live there for a while after his divorce, and as we know from episode 20 and 23, staying in Endless for too long can cause you to lose all concept of time and reality.

What if that was the real reason he never came back to visit his son or daughter? He literally doesn’t even know he’s been away for that long. And what if it was up to Reggie to find him and snap him back to reality?

How would Reggie react to finding out that Endless was the cause of her dad’s absence for all these years? Given the fact that she was planning to do basically the exact same thing when she grew up, this could reveal a cycle of abandonment (her dad abandons her, leading to her not wanting to form connections, leading to her abandoning her own loved ones). It would also be interesting to see someone come back from Endless after years of being there, having to adapt to real world responsibilities again, seeing that the world has moved on from them in their absence, and it would be great if it was done with someone the protagonist cares about.

Superbowl ""Trailer""

I screamed. I blew my voice out. But y'know what? It was worth it. Because that female voice? It's something big. Because if you take the pauses out you get this: "You're world is dying. Optimus Prime, do you seek redemption?" "My maker, I do." So. Kill me. //Lays down to die//
