IDK man I'm just living

i think we should bring this back (with some amendments ofc) if we ever needed an "internet etiquette" for the younger generations, now is the moment to remind them. purity culture kills fandom

as well as the three laws of fandom:

assorted belated 'bad art' comms in order, owners are

Cybertronian food dump! Designing this stuff is addictive.

1) a typical cafeteria meal at the JAAT. Maccadam ensures the students get only the best, even occasionally arranging for “culture fuel” days, serving dishes from different city-states or colonies.

2) if you let steel woolies sit long enough, you get rust bunnies, delicious lil bunches of spice. It’s pretty easy to make them (Whirl keeps a bunch of steel woolies under his berth and just lets them rust until they’re ready), but commercial grade rust bunnies have grease and seasoning that adds to the flavor.

3) cyberflora aren’t really alive like organic plants are, but they do contribute heavily to the energon cycle, metal distribution, and energy generation of Cybertron. This one is called a brollypalm, a solar collector that gathers energon and charges it to a sweet buzz with the energy. Brollypods can be cracked open and drank, or they can be chilled to a gelatinous solid and eaten.

The average human is amout 175 cm tall. 

The average cybertronian… Bumblebee is usually considered short/minibot, and the most consistent size given for Bumblebee is five meters. Three to five meters according to the wiki.

Optimus is considered above average in size, and he’s usually  somewhere between 6 and10 meters, sometimes taller after an upgrade.

Add in the various universes, the sizeshifting between altmodes, and that the smallest autobots in idw 2005 tend to be the same size as the largest autobots in tfa…

So, size is all over the place with Transformers, and this is a fan-made au, and…

Oh, thank fandom, Blurrito had made scale comparisions in their art, and said scale comparision outright states that the average adult in their universe is is 40.5. Now to convert that, ok, that’s 12,3444 m.  So 12,34 or 12,35 m. 

Ok, 175 divided by 20 is 8,75.

1234,44 divided by 8,75 is about 141,08

To check, 1234,44 divided by 141 is about   8,755

So the the pick-tongs are about 1,41 m. Which is well over four feet. (by, like, five or six inches? I might be reading this wrong. Converting into two incomprehensible measurements turns out to be a bit tricky)

Considering the smaller characters are about half the size of the average adult (measuring Minimus to Optimus and Moonracer to Elita-definitely-not-Chromia)  and the taller ones are-one-and-a-half as tall as average, there’s definitely going to be huge differences in how they hold the pick-tongs.
