Transformers Aligned - Blog Posts

I think I actually know what happened here. Originally, Hasbro wanted the Prime continuity to exist within the Live action Michael Bay movies, making an entire bible to follow and work off of. The Prime creators refused it and chucked it into the garbage. If I remember right, they really wanted to do their own thing but kept getting pushback from Hasbro to have it all tie into one of the other continuities if they weren't going to use the Bay films. Eventually near the end of the first season, they went with the Aligned continuity and I guess their continuity checker missed the GLARING plot-hole that was: A) Starscream had always known what Dark Energon was, he was a scientist that was STUDYING it in the games and was in charge of PROTECTING IT. B) Prime Starscream has no idea what this substance is and equates it to mere myth until he sees it with his own optics. C) Megatron empowers ALL THE DECEPTICONS with dark energon in the games, and poisons Primus' core with it. The writers of the show feasibly couldn't work with the other media in the Aligned continuity unless they had to bank on the idea that die-hard Transformer nerds wouldn't have played the WFC game series. Not to mention, they had to actually make secondary content like the novels and comics for this story to actually work. Basically to end this ramble: I'm pretty sure the Prime writers were trying to make an entirely different story, but due to studio meddling they had to forcibly shove their show into a continuity that didn't make a lick of sense with the preexisting content we had of Prime. Do I still like Prime? Yes. Do I seethe over the plot holes that come with this show being in this continuity? Absolutely.

Genuine question for those who think that the Aligned continuity doesn't exist: Do you also think that Transformers: Prime doesn't exist? Because there's a very big continuity error within it.

Remember when Megatron and Starscream were talking about Dark Energon as if it were a myth? In episode 2?

Yet, --in the season finale-- Ratchet tells us the past of Optimus and Megatron, how the war started (these are all taken from Transformers: Exodus) aaannddd we have this:

"Poisoning the planet to its core."

An event happened in both WFC and Exodus, in which Megatron used Dark Energon. And Dark Energon was referred to as the "Sparks of Unicron" in Exodus.

hihi!! as you already know im a sucker for kobd <3 and i was wondering if you could write some kobd angst from breakdown's pov 👉🏾👈🏾

Of course!! Set after the events of s2 ep7 of Aligned...

Breakdown was a tough bot, always had been. Getting roughed up was nothing new to him, neither was pain. But... there was just so much. Everywhere. He couldn't even decipher the readings at this point. Too many, too quick. Then, with startling suddenness, it was gone. Coherent thought fizzled into a series of flickering pictures, briefly snapping into clarity before blurring together again. It was an unsettling feeling, as though he'd been pulled abruptly from a deep recharge. His processor felt sluggish, static-laden. He was on the ground. Had he... passed out? And where had that Pit-spawned glitch gone off to? The forest around him was quiet. The distinct clack of her many legs and the smug sound of her laughter were absent. Had she fled? Likely... coward. He was not looking forward to reporting that news to his Master. First things first... he needed to get back to... to who? Had he come here with someone? Why couldn't he... think... The static returned, and he shuttered his one remaining optic a few times hoping to clear things up. 'She must have... messed me up good.' He needed to get back. Knockout would patch him up. He always did. If only he didn't feel so depleted. 'Get up. For frag sa-sakes. M-move.' His limbs would not respond. He couldn't... feel them. Couldn't feel them... oh. Oh. He needed help. Urgently. His comm wouldn't work. 'H-help... anyone...' Lights flashed ahead, a vehicle pulling up. 'Knockout!' Relief flooded through him. He could fix this... fix him. Visuals were bleeding together now, and he could hardly make out anything apart from the light and the shadowed shape of his partner as he neared.... wait. Two shapes... three... all small. 'N-not Knock- not Knockout.' Everything was dimming. He struggled to bring himself back, to fight through the fog. No matter how he tried, awareness slipped further and further from his reach. 'I have to get b-back... to him... Primus please...'

His audial receptors were beginning to fail, sound coming through in patches.

"MECH 1 to Sylas...."

UGHHHHHH issogood!!

Big. Beautiful.

They’re not even together this was just too funny not to do

Technically the lore behind my tfp oc, Patchwork (haven’t posted abt her yet, though) (yet)

I hate the terms "Sire" and "Carrier" so here are the alternatives I created for Cyberaligned (also I have been getting some questions from people about why some characters said Adsero or Alma)

Parents:

Parensnatales

Parens: Parents; Mother; Father

Natales: birth; origin; family

Almatonia (alma) = "carrier"

Alma: Nourishing; Kind; Soul

Tonia: Priceless; Praiseworthy

Adserodux (adsero) = "sire"

Adsero: protect; preserve

Dux: leader; to lead

And a breakdown of these terms in Cybertronian culture and society

Unlike human culture, Cybertronian culture does not have the concept of gender, which makes both of these terms gender neutral terms. The title is given to a mech who shows the qualities of the term's meaning.

An example of this would be the pairing of Ratchet, Optimus Prime, and Elita 1. Optimus and Elita would be referred to as Adserodux, due to their protective and leadership qualities. Ratchet on the other hand, who is a much more nurturing mech, would be referred to as Almatonia.

Another example would be my pairing of Heatwave and Quickshadow. Both are protective mechs, who in their own right are leaders. Both of them would be referred to as Adserodux.

Hopefully this breakdown makes sense for everyone. If anyone has further questions, I am happy to answer them!

Not to an extent, But with most of my heart. the plot sucks in Bayverse, but it was my first Transformers show.

Yes, to some extent… I like the bay verse ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
