Prime Animations, the team behind the film, had just casted a racist and homophobic voice actor as Optimus in the film. This voice actor has a history of making violent threats against Emperor Kumquat and UltraPrimal (two popular trans Transformers YouTubers), has a history of wishing death on BIPOC folks, and has a history of making homophobic comments such as the same ol, “LGBTQ+ people are gr00mers” bullshit.

This person goes by the handle Orbital Bacon. He’s a legitimately awful person and instead of addressing the backlash by firing this person from the project, Prime Animations instead decides to keep him under the pathetic excuse of, “This channel is for Transformers, not identity politics!”

Since Prime Animations has decided to be Boo Boo The Clown Fool by platforming such a despicable piece of shit as a pop culture icon that many LGBTQ+ people look up to, including myself, what’s the point of supporting this project?

Please boycott Galvatron’s Revenge. Please support Transformers fans of color and Transformers LGBTQ+ fans who are content creators such as artists, voice actors, video essayists, and many more. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I haven’t read all of IDW-2 but so far, I’ve been enjoying it! The first IDW series was complicated as hell for me to follow, so, being able to catch a new continuity as it grows is awesome lmao One thing that really stuck out to me was the whole “mentorship” thing. It reminds me of the blacksmiths from the first IDW series, but you know ... with less robo-racism. I’m honestly surprised that there’s no fanfics because,,, they’re literally just handing you all those mushy found-family tropes on a silver platter???

i mean like. don’t buy it.

Mscott: yea this character is fatphobic towards his husband and starscream is gaslighting windblade that's what makes their relationship so romantic uwu
