this joke has definitely been done before but it'll never not be funny to me ✌️
When the Decepticon literacy rate is like, 20 bots, there’s only 2 members in the creative writing club
I wanted Megatron to experience Thundercrackers megastar fanfics lol
(That isn’t Starscream btw that’s Acid Storm acting)
None of the Decepticons are surprised
(Edit: the vans are Ratchet and Ironhide they use the same Nissan Vanette mold in G1)
In transformers,
What are sparklings? Are they like robot babies?
YES!
They are a mostly fan concept however. Hasbro has been cowards and unfortunately haven't realized how good an idea it is.
Mostly cuz that opens the floodgates of robot pregnancy I assume.
With that said, IDW comics does touch on the concept as far as I understand, regarding protoforms where they start out like lil marshmallows, then grow into their basic robot forms.
I think that protoform is a scraplet, but I'm not terribly familiar with IDW continuity so take that with a grain of salt.
In TFA, Sari can technically count as one.
Prof. Sumdac found her as a lil protoform that somehow ended up in his lab and after touching her, she somehow absorbed his DNA and became humanlike.
We probably would have GOTTEN MORE INFO IN SEASON 4 ABOUT HER ORIGINS BUT WE DIDN'T GET SEASON 4!!
Personally, I love the idea that they start off as lil squishy marshmallow blobs, developing arms n legs later on as they develop, along with more rigid structures.
And I think sparklings could be one of the reasons why Cybertronian altforms' tend to have this conveniently open space in them that you can access. They can get carried around like how marsupial do
Also we can't forget the biggest contribution to Sparkling Ideas, the KOBD child - Wildbreak.
He had so many similar traits to the gay cat husbands that fans just took the idea he was their kid and RAN.
(old drawing of mine of KOBD family feat. sparklings Wildbreak and Override)
I don't draw KOBD family as much as I should, I apologize for that.
Okay, this is the Bee/Breakdown/Swindle triangle. They’re all assholes for each other.
i love every bit of this from the incredibly unnecessarily suggestive phrasing BOTH of them use here, to the fact prowl is trying to break up with mesothulas except the break up is really about them not doing war crimes anymore but it SOUNDS like a NORMAL break up which is SO FUNNY, to the fact mesothulas is like "hang on, park that thought for later, come look at THIS freaky shit" and just ignores him
these two are the worst and i love them
I feel like this was how many episodes went in the early episodes of RBA.
Heatwave wasn’t quite ready to be a teacher yet…
