DADATRON IS BACK

hm. So that's not Pharma. Odds on Unicron wearing a pharma suit? ....odds on AMALGAMOUS wearing a pharma suit???? 8D
I don't know what kind of Fuckery they got up to with the Thirteen over in OP, but there are only So Many people who could say "the Primus I remember" unless they're bringing a new character in

Oh my god "crash a spaceship into another spaceship" is such a Roddy plan

Okay, Adaptus, I'll take it :T I wanted Amalgamous, but this works

MEDICAL BABBLE
SWEET SWEET ROBOT MEDICAL BABBLE

Megs. Megs this is an interesting call back to ratchet but also: The Fuck. This feels like another Jro Is Being Rushed moment.

MISFIRE IM LOVE
Also swerve/misfire remains the pairing that needs to happen

"We blow him up."
"That's your plan?"
"What's your plan, we don't blow him up?"

“They finally found Primus!”
“He was under the couch the whole time?”
“Hmm, I’d say adjacent.”

 

Spoiler: LL22

I can't believe that Rung's actual backstory is even more grandiose than @coldstars's version.

 

Spoiler: LL22

HAHAAAAA I KNEW THE SIGIL WAS AN ADAPTUS THING!!!! I DID NOT SPECULATE CORRECTLY ON ANYTHING ELSE BUT I GOT THE ADAPTUS THING RIGHT

edit now that ive actually finished it

Spoiler

AGSHSJFKFK I BEG YOUR PARDON????? EXPARDON ME????? QU'EST-CE QUE C'EST??????

 

@applechime, are you saying you can't seem to face up to the facts?
Are you tense or nervous, and can you relax?
How's your sleep? Was it disturbed by fire?
Are you conductive like some kind of wire?

Exactly how far had we better prepare to run is the question here.

 

going through ll 22 again

Spoiler

god. at the end of ll 21 the cannon on megatron's arm was Upsetting but i only just realized when he took it off that it's actually a huge medical toolkit and. he did it he's a medic after all....... also he's so painfully in love with minimus it is ABSURD

also what's the deal with tailgate ratchet and rodimus. i mean rodimus is baby prime who is beloved of the matrix, and tailgate literally got pulled out of time and space to rendezvous with the rodsquad and ratchet is errrhhmm. hmm. hm. something something went grey out of nowhere leading them to 'cyberutopia' something something?

BUT WHY THEM IN PARTICULAR....... HM HMMMM

 

I HAD TO GOOGLE THIS BECAUSE I DID NOT GET THE REFRANCE, I JUST LIKE TO TOSS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FRENCH INTO MY SPEECH BECAUSE ITS IN MY BRAIN FOREVER ANYWAY....... MIGHT AS WELL USE IT FOR JOKES™

thanks ontario..... u didn't teach me enough french to converse with quebecois customers but at least i know enough to feel bad about not being able to converse with quebecois customers

 

Whoops, I really didn’t give you that much to go on there, did I? I’m impressed with you and google!

For funsies, please enjoy Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads, one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands of all time, empty shopping mall loudspeaker version:

 

I found a higher quality version of the JAM PROJECT songs from Transformers animated, you should be able to download them from here

let me know if it doesn't work. Here's the opening I'm talking about

I'm a sucker for this kind of thing.

Froid is still kicking around isn't he, in theory at least? Imagine discovering you literally plagiarized god. How embarrassing would that be. He also tried to blackmail god. That seems like it might warrant some deep thinking.

God has been practicing medicine without a license.

Spoiler: still LL22 but wildly switching topic and tone

Isn't Sunder a Mortilus fanboy? Boy did he buy into the mythos big time. Who knows what Mortilus truly used to be like, but at least as Censere, he doesn't even do the creepy voice thing that Sunder (among others) is so fond of imitating.

The guiding hand's role in the war is honestly really pitiful, in a completely heartbreaking way.

For instance, Nightbeat reacting to Censere:


None of them are what they were "supposed" to be.

Censere isn't a psychopomp, he's an archivist. Rung is as a psychotherapist with a very rocky career. Tyrest repeatedly tried to broker peace but failed. Epistemus has been impersonating a very strange, only occasionally helpful magic 8 ball. (Adaptus at least seems to have been executing an extremely long-term plan to do exactly what he's known for: introduce new adaptation to Cybertronian life. So I guess that's something, except for his apparent utter lack of morals.)

Hmm, you know, one version of the legend has it that Mortilus trapped Solomus in a prison that became the Matrix. I wonder now, if Tyrest is Solomus, whether there's still any truth to the idea that Solomus and the Matrix are connected.

Tyrest led the team that successfully figured out how to tap the Matrix's power to extract new sparks when the hot spots ran dry. Was that some part of himself he was unknowingly harvesting? Are all those drill holes extremely symbolic? Is that maybe a contributing factor in him going completely shithive maggots?

Also, if the technology in the "Cyberutopia" portal is so suspiciously similar to Aequitas, exactly how much influence has Adaptus, self-proclaimed Grand Architect, had over Tyrest, and for how long?
