Btw how exactly did he alienate windblade, the only major cybertronian power player who's automatically inclined to play nice with him? I don't think I read that one.
It was one of the shitty revolution issues. I thiiiiink it mainly happened in the one where the micronauts put her in bondage and she had giant floppy boobs? It was a BAD issue. But she tried to reach out to optimus for something, and he was like haha yeahhh nope and totally ignored her, and she went home and was disappointed and decided she couldn't depend on him.
Plus there's this bit from TAAO 11 Edit: The fact that deep down she doesn't think that Optimus would be any better at leading Cybertron than two people who have tried to kill her doesn't say anything good about her opinion of him.
I'm bored in line so obviously it's time to liveblog some more I honestly don't remember where I left off so I'm just gonna Not reread ramen man's Sentinel blah, even if it includes movie night with megs and ravage Spoiler: exrid 56 I entirely forget where and why OP murdered the shit outta Galvatron but yknow what I'm just gonna roll with it, the lead up to a crossover is always a mess Skywarp baby He's not even on screen, his hurting face in roll call is enough Dammit I thought I was escaping ramen man Uuuuuugh shut UP sentinel, now I like alpha trion just out of spite Bless doc and Bob "how to get ahead" arcee Soundwave is a good boss HUH. ...metrotitan is only two miles tall. And turns into a city for giant robots. Uh HUH. Sure. PROTECT!!! SKYWARP!!! Arcee never change Soundy and arcee tag-teaming burns gives me life If literally anyone else were drawing this that would be some rad-ass body horror but noooo we have ramen man and his inability to draw anything that's not a straight line Rest in pepperonis arcee Arcee and prowl need to hook up pale already Spoiler: exrid 57 Uuuuuugh sentinel shut uuuuup you Unicronian son of a bitch Oh right the Prion reveal I am A Curiosity about how titan masters are integrated into IDW. Does every Prime have one? Are they the precursors to cityspeakers? Is it a title or a frame type or both? Bless poor jetfire "I just want to go home and see my dog" #me Eyyyy rumble and frenzy (If they die here too I'm gonna cry, Ravage is bad enough) "Betrayed Onyx... Betrayed Liege Maximo." Uuuuuugh I knew my headcanons were gonna get hella rekt but also Onyx is... usually firmly on the heroic side. I really want to catch up but also what did you do to my dragontaur son I mean Micronus fucking off with the bridge doesn't preclude him fucking off to the Well Hooooo I'm glad I read this already that was REALLY SCARY the first time You'd think, if Sentinel was around to remember the Thirteen, he'd remember Optimus 1.0 and how bad a plan this is THAT'S!!!! MY!!!! BOY!!!! KICKING ASS AND TAKING NAMES!!!!!! I refuse to screencap but this just in, ramen man can't draw boobs either Not even jellyboobs, just. Bad. my boy!!!!! My!!!! Good!!!!! Boy!!!!
Concept: a living, conscious titan connecting their space bridge to a titan who is.... not that thing, that's a jarring, quietly horror-flavored experience. Which at this point basically means Metroplex or Metrotitan connecting to any of the others. Oooooh, and never even mind the frankenbridge that Tyrest built. That's an interesting idea I've gotta think about. Also, in OP10, Metroplex and Metrotitan have the exact same frames. Same asymmetrical details and everything. Is Ramondelli being lazy, or are they supposed to legit be twins? I can't recall anything, but worldbuilding lore keeps getting dropped in issues with art that hurts my reading comprehension :T
If they are, and the 'metro-' part is a hint to that, like a shared name thing, I think it's even funnier that Metrotitan is named Metrotitan. It's basically City Parts and City Titan, it's super on-the-nose naming even for Transformers.
Oh my god. City Face. Okay, so I definitely need to sleep, or I wouldn't be cracking myself up over this. So there's the thing with Metroplex that MS never got to write, where he gets a holoavatar and heads out to find out what's up with Kids These Days in the city. I am not honestly a huge fan of that idea, I like Titan existence being complicated and distant and that's why we have cityspeakers. But. Imagine Metrotitan gets a holoavatar. And I mean... dude was married to a bird. Imagine a giant house-sized pigeon wandering around on earth, and nobody knows quite what to do. Because.... turns out titans have an Issue with scale. Okay, that makes sense. Okay. But nobody can quite manage to communicate to him that nooo no you don't want to look like a bird, you want to look like a human. But without a cityspeaker to talk to him for real (and also with him just doing what he wants, because he can), he's just like nope, I like birds. This is an earth creature. I am in my earth disguise. The end.
Also I finally managed to get my butt in gear and write titan husbands, so there's that (sfw) (and i got to break in not just the chela/metroplex tag, but the chela tag, period. lov that feeling)
Whoa, okay, hold on. Okay. Rewind toy. With a cassette-ish alt Pretty basic, right? Yeah, no, this Rewind is something bigger. FANCIER. This Rewind is a triple changer with a tank alt mode
This means...you could theoretically stack Rewind on top of Megatron...or Tarn, or Overlord... BEAUTIFUL. A TANK STACK. THIS IS REVOLUTIONARY.
Titans Return had some... fun cassettes Apparently Rumble also does the tank thing, and I can personally attest to Laserbeak being The Weirdest Car
I'm pretty sure Rewind's tank alt is a reference to MTMTE 1 where he gripes about the others not taking him seriously because "he turns into a giant memory stick and not a... super space tank or - or - whatever."
The main problem with the rewind toy is how small his head is (so it can tuck into his chest). This is highlighted I think in Dave Willis' repaint and head replacement to create a Lug toy. She looks wonderful... except for the weird head proportion. But it's a very accurate look for her because her root mode frame was actually based on this specific Rewind toy. The head thing gets emphasized further when placed next to Willis' homebrew Anode (repainted Windblade with a custom head)
Also rewind's alt in that toy isn't a cassette, it's a datapad. The cassette stickers are for what's displayed on his screen.
..........so there I was, minding my own business and double checking liege maximo's backstory. and what do I find? ..................... Spoiler: pixely alien gore. you know who this is. There is no escape
So are we going to do that thing where we match the Primes to Zodiac signs, only it's actually a thinly-veiled Homestuck post?
So I watched the episode the quote "A Booby trap that actuall catched boobies!" is from, and here is a liveblog so you all can suffer with me. I am amazed g1 needs any kind of warning but mention of torture, non graphic depection of torture in the actual episode. Spoiler: Prime Target. I would like you all to know that this g1 episode has autobots watching soap operas human media popularity among robits is canon CodyCat-Today at 2:37 AM .............. WHAT CodyCat-Today at 2:42 AM ok this just got seriously surreal the g1 episode i´m watching has the villain of the week trapping autobots, all well and good except one guy was on a street with lots of billboard and the hands in the billboard picture just reached out, grabbed him, tramsformed him into his boombox mode, and tossed him into the car the vaillain was driving. Where he was no boombox sized CodyCat-Today at 2:43 AM that is just not how physics i also would say that´s weird even for g1 CodyCat-Today at 2:45 AM wow this got fucked up CodyCat-Today at 2:50 AM guy who is hunting autobots was torturing them. is not super graphic but you can tell what´s going on CodyCat-Today at 2:50 AM agreed Op is Mad ...starscream that is true but unwise CodyCat-Today at 2:51 AM (He noted to megs that human asshole has done more in two days than megs has in two years) CodyCat-Today at 2:53 AM Op fought a dragon as you do G! op goes in the pile of good boys Op dat was dumb Op is very slightly genre savvy and a very good boy indeed also a booby trap that actually catches boobies (Blitzwing is a booby txt it) Also Decepticons have been compared to the humane society CodyCat-Today at 3:13 AM Chumley himself admitted this was not his best work but really? A giant dryer? Also reality still downt real, because OP just smashed his way out of Chumleys screen. ...... "Neither impossible, nor impossible!" youve had better lines OP "trust us" say the decepticons
Crossposting from the flight rising thread, because I am silly amounts of proud over these babies, and because there are so many stinking babies that my hands are going numb from all the baby-dressing work I just did. And this is after I just purged a bunch of dragons that weren't living up to my dragon standards. Spoiler: transformers
