That, or else they're built to be nigh indestructible. Explosion that levels a city? Nah, it tickles. Like Starscream's trash can, vending machine man survived the war by just being really good at his job ...Why are half of my TF OCs the living embodiment of shitposts?
Whoops, I got a tiny bit of free time, and didn't have the energy to draw or write, but still managed to waste my entire evening and then some ;-; On the other hand, turns out I really missed making these Spoiler: death and blood and roboguts, mtmte 53 spoilers
I've been doing the lostlightfest challenge, so in case anyone wants to see my entries here's my tag http://aethergeologist.tumblr.com/tagged/lostlightfest A lot of the early ones are a bit bad, but I didn't have a huge amount of time to spend on them so I'm not to bothered about it. (Also I continue to be amazed at the amount of emotion that the comic artists can put into a character with no mouth and only minimal eyes because that is some kind of witchcraft and I definitely can't do it)
No, but five seconds ago I heard a radio commercial for "the world's first interactive robot vending machine," and I think this is a sign. You can't make this shit up. He needs a name, stat
When the war hits he goes into communications and specializes in interfering with enemy lines. he's a jammer ;D
Beautiful. Jammer and trash can man are now married /mashes all my OCs into happy shitposting matrimony/
Spoiler: transformers: revolution 1 - The way they're titling these Revolution issues is confusing as shit. - I wish they'd snuck in Windblade meeting Thundercracker, because imagine all the embarrassing stories Thundercracker could tell her about Starscream.
Is he Tarantulus's second cousin once removed? Because I would find that unspeakably hilarious My brain went from "that would be great! Windblade getting to see the equivalent of Starscream's embarrassing baby photos and Starscream being furiously embarrassed!" to "Thundercracker suggesting that they get Starscream a pet dog for therapy purposes laughs," and basically I'm out of control. I've come full circle back to Operation: Get Everyone Therapy Dogs and Elephants and Whales
They get Starscream a pet emu or ostrich. Starscream underestimates it because it can't fly, and tries to squash it The fool. They never find all the pieces of him. The emu takes over Cybertron and everyone's too afraid to question it until they realize it's not intelligent enough to rule them with an iron fist and things start falling apart
For those talking about vending machines: there were in canon bots with Energon Dispenser altmodes, and they were very populous, before they all got Recalled.
Spoiler And after Whirl learns that Rotorstorm is dead, it kind of makes him queasy to look at his spike and see it modded to be a custom match for a dead mech who was afraid of him and hated him and probably was always afraid of him and always hated him. But he still can't bring himself to get the mods removed, because once they're gone, then there really, truly won't be anything of Rotorstorm left in the world. and does anyone but Whirl even miss him?
ok i probably shouldnt be making weird tf nsfw ideas before i even know much about the fanon but this has been in my head Spoiler: nsfwish so like, from what i've seen there's the type of porn that's mostly wire-y interfacing sex that's more.. plausible, given robots have no actual need for genitals, and then there's valveplug because genitals are sexy dammit, we need robocock. which as far as i've heard?? (again, lol, not doing any fandom research first, whoops) generally doesn't make much sense since robos don't reproduce w/ sex so there's not much point to having them. but my brain likes coming up with weird solutions to problem no one ever wanted solving so what if like, wirey plugnplay type stuff was/is the standard way cybertronians do the do or emotional equivalent. but like. they're robos, they're pretty good at customizing themselves. and at some point good amounts of them get fairly consistent contact with humans, so naturally they'd find out about human sex, right so what i'm saying is what if robos decide to develop their own fun version of human sex and robos just go get modifications so they can do this fun new thing so what im saying is what if valveplug is like this weird niche kink/trend thing. what if. im probably the only person who finds this an insanely amusing thought but. yes. there it is.
This is an Extra Like I can think of exactly one (1) fic with an in-universe justification I liked for valveplug (archaic emergency energy transfer system but hey it feels good so why not keep playing with it even though it's essentially functionless in modern day) and even then it was written more like how plugnplay tends to be :P
