#g1 continuity

When Alpha Trion rebuilt them, he constructed their forms to be uniquely compatible with one another. Together, they learn the true extent of what that means.

They explore their reformatted bodies with gentle touches and kisses. Lovemaking becomes an adventure as newly sensitive areas are discovered. Spikes glide seamlessly into valves. Overloads are extraordinary and intensely satisfying. Their emotional connection deepens beyond what they ever thought possible.

Like… G1 Perceptor specifically takes pride in being a scientist who doesn’t need to fight to be useful. He helps the Autobots out of countless binds, and everyone knows he doesn’t fight if he can help it. He’s a scientist down to his bones, and he’s the happiest version of Perceptor we’ve seen

And IDW Perceptor literally abandoned who he once was. He nearly died and saw himself as a weakness, and decided to model himself after a Decepticon. He also seems to not be very happy, from all the trauma as a wrecker.

Would IDW see this version of himself and hate it? Pity it? Try to force G1 to change because he needs to, like he did? … Or was he always able to stay his G1 self? (Of course not, but it’s still interesting to think about)

And how does G1 see him?? I can imagine it’s less “fuck off” and more “what the heck happened??! Are you okay- oh you’re a dick now.”
