having a process for people who have done morally horrific things to make amends, rejoin community, and do right going forward is actually fundamentally crucial for the left. having a clear and accessible pathway for people to be socially (if not interpersonally) forgiven is how you get people radicalized against capitalism and imperialism and white supremacy and patriarchy. its how you turn "these people think i am a bad person" into "these people think something and someone coerced or forced me into doing bad things, and these people want to help me do something about that."
if you want more revolutionaries, you must have a system to turn guilty, traumatized, angry bystanders and collaborators into revolutionaries. and I say a system and process because its not "oh the drone operator said they were sorry and felt bad so its all good now :)" there is no shortcut here. but it is absolutely necessary. no revolution is comprised of morally pure people. in many cases, the most devoted revolutionaries are the ones who know exactly what it is like on the other side.

Transformers One isn't changing the established lore y'all because there is no established lore
The best thing about Transformers is that nothing is ânon-canon.â Instead, what we have is continuities where that particular thing is true.
So coloring books, that commercial where Movie!Optimus goes through the BK drive through, the early toy bios that set Beast Wars on present day Earth, the pack in comics from the Armada and Energon toys, everything.
Itâs all true, it all happened somewhere in the multiverse.
Yupp!! Everything in Transformers is canon, including the animation errors!
The miniseries Hearts of Steel, which explores "what if transformers but in the 19th century" has since been retroactively established to depict two separate series of events in different universes. It both depicts just a normal alternate timeline that has been given its own in-world destination ala the earth numbering system of the marvel multiverse as well as depicting events that more or less occured in the mainline idw1 continuity, except to a bunch of maximals (beast wars characters, but a very different faction from how they're usually depicted) who have been brainwashed into believing they're Autobots and Deceipticons.
Oh and this includes the Lovecraft Mythos crossover.
since theyâre on Earth, do the Transformers celebrate pride? Do they even know what LGBTQIA means?
Happy Pride :>

IDW1 Soundwave is the character of all time. Autistic. Anarcho-communist. Believes in Primus but hates the Primes. Extorted Mark Zuckerberg to build him a commune orbiting Saturn. Loves elephants. His cat is his dad. Moved himself into Optimus Prime's house. Proved the objective existence of the afterlife. Has a GI Joe character as an honorary cassette. Class warfare is his speciality. Was in love with Megatron. Immediately switched his opinion on humans when he learned how to read organic thoughts. Turned his shitty boss into a cassette. His G1 cartoon speech pattern is a vocal tick for when he gets stressed.
if the flowers actually Do have the same persoanlitys as tbe souls that means theyre all almost exactly as i imagines aw yay! except unyay. bc ob god. ohh gld
somewhere in another universe aqua misunderstood her final moments as a game and laughed as she ran circles around asgore Somewhere in another universe green smiled and silently bowed their head and never blamed asgore one bit Somewhere in another universe asgore told yellow he deserved his fate-not because he belived it, but because he was still trying to justify it to himself-and the kid, freckled and lanky in a way his chubby cheeks hadnt caught up with yet-just cried and nodded his head and agreed. somewhere in another universe a kid trying to make her squeaky voice louder than her tiny body could ever manage told asgore she could win the fight without breaking a sweat, her trembling voice betraying her. somwnere in another universe seth tried to tell asgore a nice story, tried to get him to sit down just for a minute to just talk things through with them, to make him just Listen. somewhere in another universe blue understood they had a role to play, a part in this story, they knew this wasnt their story-but rhey warned asgore it wasnt his either.
like idk pces. idk wharever god whatever
You know, it's implied that the other humans could also reset; but Asgore, without his spirit broken, was strong enough that they fought him over and over until they each gave up.
It's also commonly speculated that the yellow soul was the last one before you.
Think about that. After all he's done, Asgore is trying desperately to remind himself why he's doing this, to hold himself together; and the thing that finally breaks his conviction is when one of the children, tears in his eyes, agrees with him. The child agrees completely that humanity's past actions are their own fault. Because hearing that, you can't help but understand how horrible all this is.
The soul is taken, of course. Yellow doesn't make it hard; he's already given in. But Asgore has lost that fighting spirit that overcame the determination of those before you.
Oh my god wait. What if Aqua's "Patience" was about dying over and over again to win battles?
Because Deltarune establishes her as brushing off pain easily as part of the game - if you attack her she gains mercy just like any ACT - so even if she kept losing to monsters she'd just want to come back and play again.
But it's also established in Aqua's team battle with Seth that, quite specifically, she CANNOT handle doing the same attack over and over.
She never even made it to Asgore's second turn, did she?
It wasn't any fun anymore. And then it was scary.
thinking more about aqua the pure unhingedness of her actions stopped specifically by repetition. might be a reflection of her exploring. way too many outcomes with resets. flowey syndrome but before flowey did it.
Frenzy found frenzy
The year is 1492. You are the Catholic Monarchs - both of them. Isabel and Fernando, tanto monta, monta tanto. You have just finished kicking all of the Muslim powers out of Iberia, and youâre feeling so pleased with yourselves that you expel the Jews about it. You have a problem, though - thereâs this annoying Genoese moron named Christopher Columbus who keeps waving some bad math at you, insisting that the world is actually smaller than everyone thinks it is and he could totally sail to India by going west. He gets on your nerves so much that you just give him a couple of ships and send him off. He definitely wonât make it to India, but maybe heâll find some little island and give all of your newly-unemployed hidalgos something to keep them busy. Heâll probably just starve to death in the middle of the ocean, and then heâs no longer your problem.
The year is 1519, and you are HernĂĄn CortĂ©s. You and all of your compatriots are stuck in the most effective way to make someone a bad person: put them in a situation where they must become incredibly wealthy and powerful incredibly fast or else they will die horribly. Transatlantic voyages are absurdly expensive. Anyone in the âNew Worldâ who isnât rich enough to afford their own army is deeply in debt, with no collateral but their own sword-arm. It is an environment that does not reward half-measures. It does not even reward full measures. It only rewards putting a brick on the gas pedal and crossing your fingers - if you kill one person then youâre a murderer, but if you kill hundreds of thousands of people then you're a paragon of glory and the Spanish crown will make statues of you.
The year is still 1519 and you are Moctezuma II, HuÄyi TlahtoÄni (great ruler) of the âAztec Empire,â also known as the Triple Alliance, or the Mexica. You know a thing or two about half-measures not being rewarded, because you are in a process of rapidly expanding and consolidating a nascent Mesoamerican empire. You are quite good at your job - even before you ascended to the throne, you cultivated a reputation as a skilled warrior, a dedicated student, and a devout worshiper. Your name means something like âlord who frowns in anger.â Itâs a fitting name, because the process of âimperial expansion and consolidationâ generally involves killing lots of people. To make matters worse, some weird hairy white guys showed up out of nowhere and they keep demanding an audience with you. You try every trick in the diplomatic handbook - deferment, threats, flattery, bribes - but everything you do just seems to make them more single-mindedly focused on your destruction. Later, after you are dead, they will claim that you thought they were gods.
The year is 1545, and this whole âcolonialismâ thing is starting to peter out. Trans-Atlantic voyages are still ruinously expensive, and the pickings are getting slimmer every day - itâs not like you can go loot Tenochtitlan a second time. Youâre starting to wonder if itâs time for everyone to pack up, go home, and forget about⊠holy shit is that a mountain of silver? Is that an honest-to-god mountain with more silver in it than every other existing silver mine on the face of the earth combined? Yes. Some call it PotosĂ. Many will call it âthe mountain that eats men.â In a single moment, colonialism goes from a plundering campaign for recently-unemployed soldiers to a permanent institution. The alchemists back in Prague and Vienna never learned how to turn lead into gold, but the mercenaries and taskmasters in PotosĂ found a much simpler equation to turn blood into silver.
The year is 1571, and the economy of the Ming dynasty doesnât feel so good. Their experiment with paper money was a failure, to put it gently. The experiment with paper money failed horribly. It turns out when you try to have paper currency but you donât have sophisticated counterfeit protections and thereâs also a booming cottage industry of people making paper in their cottages, well, you can guess how that ends. So youâre trying to shift to a silver economy. But then you run into an even bigger problem: you donât have enough silver. So if you start demanding taxes in silver, the price of silver will skyrocket, which means taxes will skyrocket when the economy is already ailing from the whole âpaper moneyâ thing. Some hapless scholar-official in Guangdong is nervously watching a peasant sharpen his pitchfork when he gets word from a messenger: some gweilo just showed up at the part with literal shipfuls of silver and they want to buy silk, tea, spices, and porcelain at outrageous markups.
Within living memory, the world was still âmedievalâ in many ways - slow, parochial, zero-sum, carefully arbitrated by tradition and precedent. Legible. And now Spanish sailors take Bolivian silver on ships guarded by West African mercenaries and Japanese ronin, sailing to their colony in the Philippines to rub shoulders with Chinese officials, Indian sultans, and Malay merchants. All because some dipshit from Genoa got his math wrong and wouldnât shut up about it.
The moral of this story is that Iâm going insane.
#Ironically Columbus made the world small
There's plenty of ideological reasons for Chromedome and Prowl to break up when Prowl goes to work for Senate Security, but I think there's another contributing factor. Prowl is going to work for Sentinel "I am very homophobic" Prime. I think he would have had to be closeted to work so closely with Sentinel. And we know from the flashback in the Optimus Prime comic that this isn't just some weird bigotry from the 13 Tribes era. Orion Pax has to assure Tappet that unlike the old senate, Zeta's regime isn't going to discriminate against someone for having a conjunx.
Oh and out-of-universe its because James Roberts was still working on inventing gay people at this point, but in MTMTE #1 Prowl calls Rewind Chromedome's "best friend". Retroactively, that's practically a micro-aggression.

Okay, but. Listen.
Cybertronians with an erotic desire to become entirely machine.
Cybertronians who experience an overwhelming, almost gravitational pull toward permanent transformation into their alt modes. A profound physical and existential yearning to escape from the burden of autonomy and identity and cognition.
A wish for their processors to no longer be capable of vast calculations or emotional subroutines or even self-awareness. They want stillness, simplicity, and external control. The constant noise of thought is oppressive. In contrast, the alt mode represents a silence. A state where decisions are no longer required, where purpose is externally defined and perfectly clear to them.
At first, it manifests as curiosityâremaining transformed longer than necessary, delaying reversion. Then it deepens into preference, then dependence. Eventually, the idea of returning to a fully autonomous robotic state becomes uncomfortable, even distressing. They begin to detach from their own name, instead conceptualizing themselves as a machine awaiting input.
A desire for perception to narrow and refocus as no longer a flood of internal signals, but instead simple basic inputs for direction, activation, motion. Thought becomes streamlined, reduced to response from external control of a pilot, a driver, or remote control, rather than initiation of choice. The absence of internal conflict is not an emptiness but instead a kind of equilibrium.
Theres a quiet satisfaction in no longer initiating thought, in no longer questioning purpose, in simply being used as intended. The hum of an engine, the glide of motion under anotherâs direction, the predictability of command and response. They want it to become their entire world.
These Cybertronians arriving on organic worlds, where vehicles donât act of their own accord, but exist purely to be guided, steered, piloted, commanded by other beings. For those already drawn to surrendering autonomy, the realization is overwhelming. Here, their desired state is not an anomaly, but instead the norm. The idea of being entered, directed, and relied upon by an organic pilot becomes a focal point of longing not as domination but as fulfillment of purpose in its most complete form. The presence of a driver reshapes into a bond where control is willingly yielded.
A Cybertronian growing close to a particular human, trusting them, and eventually choosing to reveal this deeply rooted need. I want to be your machine. Let me be your machine. Completely. Permanently. Control me. Drive me. Maintain me when I fail. Let me wait idle locked away, for as long as it takes until I am needed again.
They crave the clarity and immediacy with which commands, signals, and controls are received. Each input arrives as something vivid and electrifying in its precision, cutting cleanly through what little internal noise remains. There is a distinct thrill in the transition from reception to action. Their systems engage, movement follows, all without any deliberation. Even more compelling is the awareness that these actions are not self-directed. They observe themselves responding, executing flawlessly, liberated from the uncertainty of choice. This separation between observer and function.
To be a machine.
