#transformers opinions

[littleghostboysthings]

So I thought it would be fun to watch through g1 transformers with my partner. And it's been fun except his favorite autobot is FUCKING HUFFER

He keeps asking me to buy a huffer toy.

I'm very tempted to post his top 10 favorite and lest favorites when where done watching the show

My Opinions on Transformers Prime: Five Episodes In

(Note that my opinions will most likely change in the future, and I will make follow-up posts as I get farther in the series.)

I know Cliffjumper dies all the time, but did they have to kill him off in the first episode, or did they just kill him off because it was too expensive to have  Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson voicing him? Either way, that was a waste of a good rock- I mean, transformer. 

Bumblebee is a pure little bean

Megatron is basically Optimus Prime’s evil ex-husband/murder soulmate, and it looks like they had a super nasty divorce

Ratchet and Optimus Prime are basically an old married couple and I kinda ship them, fite me!

Jack has 2 moms, one of them is Arcee

Bumblebee is a cinnamon roll and those noises he makes are literally the cutest thing ever!

Megatron and Starscream’s relationship is basically Megatron obsessing over his ex and taking it out on his current boyfriend, so Starscream’s is always being as evil and nasty as possible so he has some sense of power, hence why he’s so quick to take control once Megatron “dies” in the spacebridge explosion. (Or at least that’s my theory on Starscream’s constant betrayal thing)

Bumblebee and Raph’s friendship is super fucking wholesome

Bulkhead and Miko’s relationship dynamic is basically a dude in his late teens/early twenties constantly chasing after his chaotic, rock’n’roll loving three year old sister who has the self preservation of a shonen anime protagonist

Did I mention that I love Bumblebee?

Soundwave’s design is literally the most bad-ass thing ever

Agent fowler is the most badass human character so far, and he’s also the fucking hilarious when he’s delirious!

I’d honestly love to meet the autobots, but with my social anxiety mixed with how fucking massive all the transformers are compared to humans and the fact that I am easily intimidated, I’d probably have a panic attack.

I honestly preferred the hinted origin of the Demons being undead cyborgs who’s planet was torn up by Primus as raw materials to make Cybertron rather than Simon Furman later establshing them as being created by Primus from scratch.

Honestly it wouldn’t even require be the common cliche twist of making Primus being as bad as their counterpart Unicron  I like the idea of an incompetent Primus who didn’t notice the planet he was taking apart was inhabited until it’s too late and then trying to repair and resurrect all those killed the best he could. It’s very mythological.

Considering in Transformers Prime some people on tfw2005 pointed out the time line for where Primus makes Cybertron their body seems to match up with the Predacon extinction, I find it an incredibly fitting interpretations. If this is common it’explains why Primus is a noninterventionist God in modern times. Poor thing is convinced they’ll just make things worse, and may be right.

My Transformers Prime Opinions: Halfway Through Season One (Episodes 6-13)

Find my opinions of the first five episodes here!

First off, I’ve started rewatching episodes in Spanish. Second off, OMFG RATCHET AND KNOCKOUT SOUND SO SEXY IN THE SPANISH DUB I CAN’T FUCKING HANDLE IT!!!

Ratchet being a total control freak over Jack, Raf, and Miko’s projects reminded me of a couple of times where I asked my parents for help on a project and they ended up taking it over for me. Ratchet is a smothering overprotective Mom, and that further cements in my mind that he and Optimus are married.

I honestly didn’t care about Skyquake all to much. I mean, I thought it was cool how he didn’t put up with Starscream’s bullshit, but still, he wasn’t all that interesting to me. Also he has a giant machine gun, so that’s cool!

Not only is Bumblebee a total bean, but he’s also a badass! I would not want to get on his bad side!

Soundwave using Laserbeak to watch Starscream after he pulled out Megatron’s dark energon shard felt like watching a child walk in on one of their parents trying to kill the other in their sleep.

Scraplets are 100% space piranhas.

I honestly love how Bulkhead screams like a little girl

I like how Raf went from “Aw, this thing is cute!” to “KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!” in like five seconds flat.

Optimus comforting Arcee while they were dying of the cold was really sweet and it kind of reminded me of when I was about 6 or seven years old, and I was afraid of death, and my parents calmed me down and explained it to me in a way that made it less scary.

Miko freaking out over a spider at the end of the episode was a fucking mood

Wheeljack is a chaotic good treasure, and I love him.

I honestly wanted to see what Makeshift actually looked like, but we got a voice reveal, so it’s better than nothing!

I like how Bulkhead and Wheeljack’s friendship was so strong he could tell something was off, despite Makeshift being a talented actor.

I like how the thing was called the “Dingus”, like whoever named it must’ve been either high or fucking around

Silas has a very punchable face...

Ratchet is such a mom

Optimus went 100% dad mode when he found out that Jack and Miko were in trouble and I honestly love that

I like how Miko just immediately accepted that she was gonna die and her only concern was making sure she could leave something behind for Bulkhead

Bulkhead is Miko’s brother. You can’t change my mind.

As artist, I was internally screaming when Breakdown yeeted Bulkhead and broke mural in the ruins.

I’m suspending Optimus’s dad card for the time being due to the fact that he had the kids break into a museum. I’ll give it back later, if he earns it.

Knockout basically strolled up to Optimus  and was like, “You’re sexy, but guess who’s sexier? MAH BOYFRIEND!!!” and that literally the best thing ever.

Knockout and Breakdown? Gay. They’re dating. You can’t change my mind.

Fowler using his government status to get Miko out of trouble was a fucking powermove.

Knockout if histrionic AF

I’m honestly pissed that Vince had the gall to call Arcee ugly, but then again, I doubt he’s ever seen her in robot mode, If ya know what I mean~

Optimus’s dad card is still suspended, but I am considering giving it back after he got his kids out of trouble again.

Arachnid’s voice is sexy as hell, but that doesn’t change the fact that I hate her guts for what she did to Arcee and Tailgate

Poor Arcee, she’s lost two of her boyfriends to the cons! She’s got a worse love life than mine!

Jack is definitely smarter than he lets on, considering that he was able to trick Arachnid, even if it was only for a short while.

I thought it was really cool how Arcee was able to face her trauma to save Jack. It must have been really difficult for her, especially considering the fact that she lost Cliffjumper so recently. She has her flaws, but she’s really strong. I can’t wait to see how much she grows during the rest of the series!

“Cybonic Plague” sounds like a made up human joke name to a serious disease, and if you told me that cybertronians could die from it before I watched episode 13, I would laugh in your face.

I’m pretty sure Megatron has a murder fetish, specifically a murdering Optimus fetish. 

Is it just me or is it creepy as hell that Megatron had to gaze into Bumblebee’s eyes to realize that the was in a coma?

I like how Bee used Megatron’s Optimus Murdering fetish against him

Whelp, Bumblebee’s possessed now. I wonder how that’ll turn out...

ok so in the transformers fandom cliffjumper and bumblebee are often sorted into being brothers category and like thats cool and all but no one ever gives them fucked up sibling dynamics.

itd be cool if they were both jealous/envious of each other or maybe like they hated each other a bit but then it boils over and they beat the shit out of each other.

basically in the idea i have cliffjumper is jealous/envious of bumblebee cause people always tell him "why cant you be more like bumblebee!" or hell people like bumblebee more and respect him more (in cliffjumpers opinion) and bumblebee is jealous/envious of cliffjumper cause he doesnt have so many expectations yknow? bumblebee has to be nice and friendly bumblebee loves to help out!! and yeah he has friends but not any close ones none that rlly know him and cliffjumper has close friends.

you could make the sibling dynamic cool but alas ppl go the easy route and instead they like each other

Instead of Transformers gushing fluids, I’d prefer it mainly be used more sparingly.

The idea of them constantly having energon like blood feels inefficient design. Some parts might require a constant input of energon rather than just an electrical charge, but I imagine those being rare and often related to special powers or transformers made for specialized conditions.

Hydraulic fluid spray of course would be another possible fluid. As well as defrosting fluid...

I think less is more and could give more an impact.
