Spoiler: random tfp liveblogging, because I feel guilty spamming the RP planning discord; s1e10 The episode summary says Knock-Out shows up, I am EXCITE MIKO DON'T DITCH DETENTION YOU'LL GET MORE DETENTION see even bulkhead knows this is a bad idea Dramatic Intro looks so out of place after that, and it blended so well with the previous episode too :T ...that's a very lovingly-rendered cactus. Bulkhead lecturing Miko about academic honesty while driving on the median is kind of hilarious Like, bro Bulkhead is a Good Parent oh noooo cybertron feels "city" ratchet that's a country Oh my god KO is beautiful I thought I was ready but I was not prepared KO and SS fuckign showboating at each other like territorial birds I love help I ship it spades oh no please tell me they're not gonna wreck the dig site please no that's italian-renaissance-era art not ancient greek oh my god who did the research for this episode "put it to a vote" did you mean mutiny, starscream? Somehow I don't think cons go in for "votes" very often The animator that loves pelvic girdles is back, hi Breakdown oh my god he's beautiful love these beautiful husbands OH MY GOD BREAKDOWN DON'T JUST RIP THE DIG APART HOW DARE ...I really hope there's no humans in that dig site, because otherwise BD vs BH is gonna be all over the internet oh my god I can't tell if it's just composition or if Screamer really did just pet Knockout's chest This is beautiful this sounds like a platformer level intro Ratchet are you okay ...do none of the kids know about alarms set around exhibits? The robots I could understand, they've never had a chance to be in an Earth museum, but. Raff, at least? Come on buddy you're gonna get caught KO'S EVEN PRETTY AS A CAR THIS IS UNFAIR "friend" are you talking about the missile or your husband, Knockout? oh my fucking god there's normally cameras on the parking lots too y'all are fuckin lucky the guard on camera duty's incompetent goddammit breakdown you're gonna scratch ko's beautiful paintjob, don't just throw random combatants at him with no warning SOUNDY fuckin bye Soundwave don't fuck around ...that's a cool idea to fuel a vamparc ribbon with screamer don't eat your guards, I know they're bad shots but at least wait til they're dead first, cannon fodder can be useful! oh no goodbye, practical husbands! the bots really need a flight-capable dude Physical gasp count: 4 (KO, KO alt, Soundwave, KO&BD accidentally hitting each other)
Spoiler: tfp s1e11 I was gonna stop after one episode but apparently the next one has Knock Out too so HERE I AM (also my brain keeps glitching and trying to call him "Knockdown". Which is a wonderful ship name for them but not KO's name.) knockout why do you even have the local news station, how is that useful I am now imagining KO having a Thing for human music/dancing thanks brain, now I gotta learn to draw robots you scratched his paint you gon get fucked up son KO. KO darling. hip-checking him is gonna wreck your paint more. ...Jack. Jack are you secretly a Rihanna fan? "0 to 60 in 3.5"? Really? [cackling] ARCEE WHY YOU GOTTA COCKBLOCK JUST LET THE KID BRAG [chanting] ARCEE ARCEE ARCEE "Winning's not enough, we wanna make him cry" my queen ...screamer. bro. Read up on your human history. I continue to ship KOâ™ Starscream. It's beautiful. They're beautiful. [CRUSHING AWKWARD] when did Bee get a NY license plate why did Bee get a NY license plate like any random plate sure but they work out of Nevada, I'm pretty sure it'd be easier to blend in with Nevada plates ...KO are you talking to your husband or yourself also it sounds like you wanna frag bee ...KO/Bee/BD threesome Silly KO, lasers are for kids battlefields! Get that shit off the racetrack! ...I know it's oil for the sake of racing game mechanics but. Bee don't piss on the road, that's (c)rude what is it with Cybertronians and driving on the divider lines? Goddamn. ...knockout. That's the wrong pet human. aw fuck dadimus is home you are both so bad at lying Arcee is Cool Mom but also Good Mom Oh look, alt modes actually being useful in combat!! :D well. in passing Acrobatics checks but shhh KO continues to be lovely OPTIMUS PRIME JUST CASUALLY DISMEMBERING A GUY WHAT THE FUCK THOSE DOORS ARE PART OF HIM like it's played for laughs bc "oh lol Knockout is vain af" and they're apparently """just"" armguards but like. You still don't rip people's skin off what the fuck Prime???? NO OPTIMUS YOU DON'T GET TO BE """DISAPPOINTED RESPONSIBLE DAD"" AFTER FLAYING/DISMEMBERING A GUY ALIVE ...I really shouldn't expect better of Cons, let alone Starscream, but "disfigurement as punishment" is still hella skeevy
On re-reading MTMTE, I had never noticed Spoiler: spoilers up to 53 and two huge images the visual callback from issue 15, where Rewind dies, and issue 53, where Rewind chooses to save Chromedome. I just. Have a lot of emotions.
Spoiler: up to mtmte 53 I noticed that right when 53 hit because the one from 15 was one of my favorite panel compositions for a fair bit and I love how neatly Rewind slots into the composition, actually making it feel more complete and dfghjk I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.
I know it's really emotional and serious, but chromedome has literally got heelys for feet. does he roll everywhere. his feet are weirder than Skids's
It is both emotional AND hilarious. You can't lose. He must skate across the Lost Light like a mall kid in the mid '00s.
There are two kinds of people in the world That's why his other wheels are in his shoulders - whenever he loses his balance and starts tipping over to land on his ass, his shoulders save him and he coasts along the hallway lying flat on his back like one of those P.E. scooters
you laugh but TFA!Bumblebee literally moves like that several times throughout the series. I love it so much.
This is why I gave my Devisen jet twins wheelie heelies. For landing gear, yes, but also SMALL LEGS GO FAST EVERYONE IS GIANT.
Okay but how does Chromedome sit down... do all his chairs need a gap under the back portion for his giant ass.
Augh, I'm trying not to embarrass myself on the internet. Quick, does denta (am I spelling it right?) mean teeth or mouth? Are servos hands or fingers?
Denta is (supposed to be) singular, dentae plural (tooth/teeth). Servo(s) appear to vary by writer but are generally hands or fingers.
I've started watching the RiD cartoon and Grimlock is great. He's not stupid he just really, really, really loves a good fight. And Strongarm reminds me of Amy Santiago from Brooklyn 99! Spoiler: Gifs Can you honestly tell me Amy and Strongarm wouldn't get along great?
oh no I heard them all in her voice help (particularly the first one) I need to finish RiD, all I remember is grimlock being sad they finished a fight without him getting to punch anybody
