i said skids was boring once out of misplaced bad mood i’m sorry I was dreadfully wrong and I will never let myself live it down

SKIDS IS REAL AND GR8

I’m losing it rung is cradling skids like a protective parent at every other panel cie is a good

I’ll never be surprised about bondage Getaway

I said I couldn’t really tell if those sphere things were brain module-sized or bigger and I FEEL EDIFIED THEY’RE NOT ACTUALLY BRAIN-SIZED BC I THINK EVEN TG WOULD KNOW WHAT A BRAIN LOOKS LIKE ok

I had this question before when I first read the preview but how can tg tell whose innermost energon is whose like. can robot optics automatically scan and process that info or did tg just assume that was cyclonus’ energon

I MISSED THIS THE FIRST TIME BUT TG BROKE THE GLASS SLAMMING HER FIST ON THAT DOOR…STRONG…

LET TAILGATE SAY FUCK WE SAID AND JIMBOB ANSWERed

tbh tailgate having this moment to rail at Getaway is rly validating even tho it might not be the best time danger considered

what is up with getaway’s mouth…it looks like a mask but it also looks like a mouth’s been carved onto his face

d id they remove his vocalizer holy shit what’s he going to do, sweet talk his way out??

i keep losing it at ‘that’s a person’ fuck

this robogore

I’m so

“is that your first scowl” stfu froid you sarcastic piece of

are you kidding me

froid: haha i flaunted several psychological ethics using the abilities of my mind-fuck partner to violate my patients’ minds, now what ;o

froid and pharma should just get tgether and have a hate-lovefest party

man it’s weird to see tarn’s treads all fancyflappy like that

“can I give someone else my place” oh no is he thinking of quark…skids ;;

JUST THROW FROID IN FRONT OF SKIDS WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT FROID

honestly same

“full to the brim with blue-black sap” ??? sin is blue-black??? hm that kind of reminds me of the weird black stuff you sometimes see fly out when a robot is dying

AHHASHHAH SUCK IT FROID

oh wow i didn’t. even recognize thunderclash there until they gave the name

RODIMUUUUUS caught turning off the lights o h h n o...

I kinda wanted to see that happen on panel tho ngl

I’m sorry

it’s ok she’s fine

“It’s every mnemosurgeon’s fate to die on the job—a victim of their addiction”

“the fatal injection is always the next—until one day it isn’t”

please don’t. don’t

pls protect chromedome. pls don’t do this to him

no but okay I just. He’s already wanted to commit suicide, has had his husband die horribly, and is a burnt out husk of misery okay, don’t just. condemn him to death by addiction

i’m a sad

the models fire lasers, just how accurate are these ships

i like the idea of skids helping rung modify those lasers

i probably won’t get over seeing rung’s eyes through glassless glasses for a while

Megs not picking up a gun even under threat of losing her life, interesting

TAAAAAAAAAAAAILGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!!!!

edit: ok I’m extremely glad TG can feasibly be a champion kick boxer and hold up to the likes of Cyclonus and other war frames now

not to mention, being able to defend herself physically

 I'm -hoping- this isn't going to involve more recklessness->tragedy

I’m kind of, concerned her abilities are going to be taken advantage of again and jro’s going to make her mess up again but -irrevocably- and I hate that, I hate that she’s trying to live up to all these expectations as a member of this crew bc she’s relatively new (in more ways than one) and thus unsure about how others can take advantage of each other so they -do-

I'm hoping TG doesn't have to go thru another moralizing 'mess up horribly to learn a lesson of responsibility’ shtick, because while I don’t want to see her coddled I don’t want to her to keep repeating that static cliche either

show me some growth jro don’t just keep breaking the cutie and putting her back like everything’s fine again

Anyways back to the comic

STEEEEEEERIKE SUNDER

Rung!!

Rung is so good to their patients!! I’m so glad they’re taking this as a serious medical professional i needed to see this kind of ethic upheld esp in light of comparison

to captains--political leaders, particularly Megatron, Rodimus, and Optimus can hold vote. Optimus seems to think it’s a bad idea to have others vote him on or off and decides to revoke his leadership (only to continue exerting his significant influence more or less the same way on Cybertron (primacy)); Rodimus and Megatron seems to think it’s ok, even morally correct, to get the chance to make up for their mistakes. Rodimus’ ethical mistake was that he didn’t inform his crew of a known danger--Overlord--before leaving with them in tow.

Ethically, this is Pretty Bad--Rung makes cern position on professional/occupational accountability for cern patients’ respective well-being clear on this topic.

On the other hand, Rodimus does what neither Optimus nor Megatron do: she lets the people she’s in charge of hold her accountable for her job

It’s not quite as ethical, but it’s definitely more in tune with the democratic demands emerging from a multifactionalized, multicultural postwar Cybertron. The Lost Light’s quest is primarily a -politically- aimed one, in that it’s projected goal is to find a group that can guide Cybertron back into order.

Megs never holds a vote of her leadership to the Decepticons bc Megs is primarily concerned for her own neck; ostensibly it was so she could have some measure of maneuverability to perhaps reassume leadership of the Decepticons at a later time, but her ideological doubts support a more personal investment in dropping the Decepticons.

Optimus makes an attempt at a breakoff, but hypocritically uses her prior position of primacy and leadership to exert influence over the political arena.

To conclude: politics, postwar culture, and the growing presence of democracy in unstable postwar conditions introduce complications to the ethical code concerning people in charge. It’s interesting to compare how Optimus, Megs, and Rodimus (in the last case, partially) resist stepping down from their positions after committing significant ethical blunders, with Rung’s own refusal to continue their job after coming to terms with their professional misconduct. Was it right for Rodimus to hold a vote responding to demands for postwar political agency, or was it wrong to include even the possibility of her continued leadership after her ethical blunder? Or is there some kind of in-between of moral decency here? Why couldn’t Magnus have been put in charge? Why did the majority of the crew decide to keep Rodimus as the captain? Discuss and elaborate later when I’m not half falling asleep.

(Note, paraphrasing Atomizer: “everyone makes mistakes.” A possibility that this kind of grey wartime morality pervades the crew that said yes to keeping Rodimus)

On this note what’s the crew going to do without Rung as psychiatrist if they’re the ONLY ONE ON BOARD THX FOR THAT JRO...I assume as a medical professional Velocity has to have some basic psych training, but?? It’s not comparable

Anywho, continuing with

rodimus thank goodness

Damn Megatron renouncing violence (how long is that going to last, if at all)

wait isn’t tarn coming soon
