shitposting rave 5: discount rejects from every genre

Well, no, all the Titans went dormant after Nova left. But they're supposed to answer.

 

No they're not, Nova and Nominus and Zeta and Optimus aren't even Primes.

 

....what. I mean, sure, who hasn't heard Zeta and Optimus go at each other for 'corrupting the lineage' or whatever, but-- it's a title, the frag d'you mean they weren't Primes? Is Sentinel the One True Prime or whatever on Devisiun?

 

No, Prime means first so if they're not one of the first thirteen Transformers ever it's nonsensical to apply. They only use it so they can wrap their politics in divine right to rule without actually making a goddamn case for themselves other than 'A rock we never let anyone close enough to to determine if it's actually the real deal chose us, mentally, in our heads, where nobody else can confirm that this actually happened.' Sometimes there's lights? Do you know how easy it is to rig up a pretty hunk of crystal that makes lights? A Protoform could do it.

 

There never was a lineage to corrupt because it's jetfuel!!!!!

 

All 'Prime' means is 'some stupid figurehead the Senate chose to give themselves religious legitimacy'. Or, I guess in Optimus's case, 'all the other bosses were named this so I guess I have to be too'. And the Thirteen weren't the first Thirteen ever, where would their tribes have come from in that case? They're just warlords. Warlords who were powerful enough to give Nova trouble, sure, but normal mechs all the same.

 

No, they were the first ever, and then the tribes got created!

 

...are you taking religious accounts as absolute historical fact, or...?

 

Most of our pre-crash historical records were lost in the crash.

 

So.... is that a yes, then?

 

You're the one spouting propaganda!

 

You've said yourself you're not even from Cybertron, but now you're suddenly an expert on our history? [He crosses his arms, but his wings still say 'amused'.] Yeah, I'm sure plenty of the slag about Nova is propaganda, the mech founded an empire. That doesn't mean your account's any closer to the truth.

 

Then ask Burlesque! He knows so much!

 

A dancer and a historian? Color me impressed he's finding time to recharge and refuel at all.

 

He's also a diplomat. He's very impressive and I don't appreciate your sarcasm.

 

...nah, you're right, that was petty of me. Sorry.

What were we talking about before we got derailed on a history tangent?

 

Dance.

 

Right!!! Right right right, sorry. Silks, right? And you wanted to ask Burlesque if he could teach you? Of all the Vosian styles it's the easiest to adapt for grounders, that's true.

 

Yeah.

-She's still grumbly.-

 

"I want to do that!" Lissa is practically bouncing.
