Optimus prime height
Sorry, that height chart was for played characters in a roleplaying MUSH game that disbanded several years ago. You can definitely try to guess at where Optimus Prime would be using the canon characters on it though!

we are, though sporadically. the game is in its last stages so we havenât been posting much here.Â
Everyone on the mush has collectively agreed that Nicholas Angel (Simon Peggâs character) from Hot Fuzz is like Prowl personified⌠and in that equation Cosmos would be his Danny.

This one was for @kinesisboomer on tumblrâwho wanted a scene from one of their roleplay sessions of their OC Lieutenant and @bulkheadingâs Starstruck dancing together. I really enjoyed drawing this and Iâm very proud of the poses, detail and how close I got them despite Transformers not always being built for physical touching. ;)
Sketches from a stressful class
More rp art from Lost and Found Mush. Kind of. Itâs based on Windblade and Minimus Ambus, who have been enjoying one anotherâs company. This is supposed to be Windbladeâs office. I was going for a comfy chair and somehow ended up with this ornateâŚ. thing. XD My first time drawing Mini and Windy! Mechanical pencil on paper.

More than Meets the Eye, beginnerâs guide / resources
This guide is long. Use the headings to find the information you need & if youâve got resources this post lacks send them along!
Has anyone pitched the comic More than Meets the Eye to you yet? Itâs a very gay action-adventure comedic drama with robots and you would probably love it (especially if youâre lgbt and/or have good taste). Hereâs a few posts/articles that will tell you why youâd love it:
This article review/retrospective was what got me to read MTMTE. (warning - it has a bunch of spoilers, that didnât bother me but might bother you)
My semi-jokey MTMTE sales pitch
@zzxidâs salespitch with dancing rats
This full entire page of radical space socialist philosophy
15 Reasons Why MTMTE/the sequel is The Best Transformers Comic (warning - has spoilers, though some will prob go over your head as a new reader)
How/Where to Read
Okay, maybe youâre convinced. Now you want to know how/where to read MTMTE. Got you covered:
Detailed guide by @gaymilesedgeworth: How to start reading Transformers Comics
My very short answer: just read MTMTE in trade paperback form. That way all the issues are in order and you get all the extra stuff (there are prose stories after a couple issues that are very important so donât skip them!) Theyâre available that way as both physical and digital books.
Hereâs some ways to get access, legally (US centric, sorry):
If your local library has Hoopla (digital library subscription service), you may have access to some of the MTMTE trades that way. Theyâd be here; but check if you library has Hoopla first.
Your local library very well might have physical copies, so check their website!
If not and youâre very patient you can often request inter-library loans (your library borrows the books from another library) or request your library purchase materials.
You can buy digital trades via either IDW or Comixology. Comixology also includes the first 5 volumes in their comics subscription service. Iâve seen the series go on sale on both of these sites at least 4 times in the past 6 months, so keep an eye out! (Sometimes IDW participates in humble bundles, which are great, but those sales are far more infrequent)
You can also buy them in trade form from wherever you can buy books/comics. US links: Amazon, B&N, Comic Store Locators
Character Guides
So youâve picked up this comic and oh boy there are a lot of robots. Youâre a little intimidated. Maybe youâre having a hard time telling them apart.
If you have the paperback, thereâs a guide to the characters on the back cover/the last page of the digital volume. See a copy here.
Itâs okay if you keep reading not knowing who these robots are. For real. Youâll get the hang of it. Donât worry if it takes you awhile and youâre confused. Everyoneâs a little lost the first time through.
Some helpful posts in case youâre struggling:
Hereâs a guide that matches appearance -> name, and one that matches name -> background info (both spoiler free for issues 1-22)
A visual guide by @squireofgeekdomâ and @kscinewtâ: here
Another helpful visual character guide by @bluering8: here
If youâre confused and need help, please ask! Iâm willing to answer questions, I know @gaymilesedgeworth has volunteered to answer new reader questions. (Willing to help out new readers? Lemme know and Iâll make this a list)
Lore & Background Info
Okay, so maybe now youâve gotten into it. You want more information, you want to know all the background lore, you want to dig deep. Awesome! Got you covered!
The holy grail of Transformers information, TFwiki. A slightly snarky, overly-minutely-detailed wiki for the digital age.
Theyâve also got a tumblr if youâve got questions.
And Chris McFeely, one of the main editors, runs a Youtube series called The Basics where he explains characters/concepts across continuities
The podcast Sound.wav has episodes talking about every issue of MTMTE in great detail.
The writer of More than Meets the Eye, James Roberts, answers fan questions on his twitter. Iâve archived a lot of those questions at @jrtweetsindexâ.
More than Meets the Eye has a soundtrack, because of course it does. People have made playlists collecting it on spotify and youtube.
Further Reading
I finished MTMTE, whatâs next?
If you want the direct sequel to MTMTE, go straight to Lost Light, the sequel series. Itâs still ongoing and (as of right now) 12 issues have been released. There are spoilers for it EVERYWHERE on Tumblr, fair warning.
There are also a bunch of other series within the IDW comics universe, depending on what youâre interested in.
@zandergb has a chronological listing of all the IDW comics
TFwiki summarizes the IDW comics line
alt chronological guide
another guide/reading order.
You donât have to read all the books! If you want to just read Lost Light/MTMTE, you can do just that.
Thereâs also a bunch of animated series, which donât exist in the same continuity as the IDW comics. Some of them are well liked.
@ponett has a guide thatâll help you decide which youâd enjoy
And hereâs a brief guide by TFWiki
Thereâs also the Michael Bay movies which are awful and so is he. Not gonna recommend watching them, but if you wanted to learn about film theory by listening to Lindsay Ellis dissect them, thereâs a youtube series for that.
Fan Stuff
OkayâŚbut what about fan content and fanfic and art and community events?
First thing to know: Transformers content is posted on tumblr under the tag Maccadam. (more detailed explanation why) A lot of mtmte content is also under âmtmteâ, so look there too. I only use Maccadam if I think a post deserves to be seen by a lot of people but opinions vary.
Second thing to know - the sequel to MTMTE, Lost Light is still being published and you will see ALL SORTS OF SPOILERS for it on Tumblr. To mitigate the damage, try blocking âLL Spoilersâ âLost Light Spoilersâ and âWednesday Spoilersâ. You cannot avoid it all, so if you donât want anything spoiled, get caught up on both MTMTE and Lost Light before browsing around Tumblr.
Fanfiction:
Warning! A lot of Transformers fanfiction is smut. Please take a moment to integrate this fact into your understanding of the universe. If you can handle that, go ahead to AO3.
If youâre curious about all the terminology used in those fics, hereâs a guide to it (not every writer uses every word, but this will get you started)
If youâre not into the idea of robots having sex, hereâs a link to AO3 with my personal best-effort safe-search (no guarantees, relies upon people tagging properly)
And hereâs a blog dedicated to recommending good sfw transformers fanfiction
If you want to know more about Transformers fanfic, I did a whole statistical survey of it, cause Iâm a dork.
Hereâs an old-school Transformers-only fanfic archive (I donât see a category for IDW comics but maybe you can find somehing)
Fanart&Fanfic Events/Zines/Gift Exchanges/Collaborative Projects:
As many active projects as I could find - Iâll try to keep this one updated
Fan Artists:
(same warning as the fanfic - thereâs a goodly amount of transformers pornographic art, be aware of that and block ânsfwâ if necessary)
There are a ton of active fanartists who draw IDW Transformers art. If you search a bit under âMaccadamâ youâll find them.
@iaconlibrary reblogs a great deal of fanart & is a great place to start browsing
Roleplay:
If youâre into roleplaying on tumblr @teletrans-comm-unit runs a master list of active rp blogs
Transformers: Lost and Found is a long-running independent game set on the Lost Light
TF:Galaxy appears to be a forum-based tf roleplay game
My Favorite Jokes:
The best amazon review
Emotional labor (nsfw-ish warning)
Bros with Vows
Hands
Conventions:
There are Transformers-specific conventions, which is pretty cool! I know nothing about them but tfwiki has some info: Official and Unofficial conventions.
Regrettable Opinions:
hey this is just a quick guide of things not to do so you donât hurt other people in the community
Do not compare Megatron to Hitler. The comparison is both vapid and offensive, as Jewish members of this community have pointed out time and again.
Donât say transphobic/homophobic/racist/antisemitic/sexist things. Youâre better than that!
Donât attack the creators of the books/harass them on social media/make bizarre unfounded accusations of them acting in bad faith
weâre really lucky that JRo and the other creators interact with us & answer questions and donât you dare screw that up, Iâm trusting you.
on a less serious but useful etiquette note: donât tag creators into negative reviews of their work/people complaining about their work. Itâs rude to the creator & the reviewer.
That was a short list but remember to also treat other people with respect & that itâs okay to disengage with content/people that upset you.
Fandom:
Thereâs a guide on Fanlore, but itâs freakishly outdated and doesnât even mention the comics. If youâre a informed tf fan maybe you should update it. đ
Tumblr!
MTMTE is a pretty small community on Tumblr, but there are a few cool folks. Remember, âmaccadamâ and âmtmteâ are your tags of choice
Various websites!
Since the transformers fandom is super old, there are a bunch of dedicated websites with traditional forums to chat on. (most of these are news sites that also contain forums) idk anything about them but maybe forums are your thing:
TFW2005 - big site with a large community but be warned there appear to be more than a few alarmingly bigoted people on that site
TFormers
Cybertron.CA
Allspark.com
Seibertron
Iâm gonna throw the IDW TF reddit on this list rather than make a new section
Discord!
thereâs at least two active discords at the moment. I know nothing about them or discord, but maybe one of them would be to your liking:
#1 - run by @zzxid
#2 - run by ??
The community is, like all fan communities, is a mix of good and bad, awkward and friendly, opinionated and goofy, self-serious and offensive. You wonât like or agree with everyone and there are some folks you should probably block.
Just find some people who share your general outlook & are interacting with the books in the same way you want to đ
-Lynn. I have no qualifications to write this guide, I am not an authority of anything. I just really want you to love these books. Last updated on Dec 22, 2017, click through to check for any updates.
