#transformers rant

You guys ever lay in bed and think...

Wow, Primus creations are a fraggin mess...like all cybertronians are just...Moronic numbskulls and i mean it in a most loving way!... It's like the longer you live, you actually become stupider...

Like, sure, they are basically immortal, and a lot of them are beings with supercomputer brains, geniuses, sure, they seen and encountered their civilizations beyond human comprehension. I'm just rambling, but after the 13 primes went to get milk, Bots like Sentinel Prime from TFO and others like him just...made the already broken system WORSE and as a race that gets their rockets hard from being intellegent they should figure being classism and things like xenophobia to other races specially organics, is quite literally the opposite of smart race...its like Uncle iroh once said

Fire is the element of power. The people of the Fire Nation have desire and will, and the energy and drive to achieve what they want

Earth is the element of substance. The people of the Earth Kingdom are diverse and strong. They are persistent and enduring

Air is the element of freedom. The Air Nomads detached themselves from worldly concerns, finding peace and freedom. And they apparently had a great sense of humor

Water is the element of change. The people of the Water Tribes are capable of adapting to many things. They have a sense of community and love that holds them together through anything

But look how LONG their war is, and both sides' cons and bots arent smart,they been only interacting so far with only their own, not seeing on a deeper level other points of view of other beings...

They are all unhappy,bitter,mad,broken,no awareness of living in the moment...

And then there are Unicron's creations being humans, Oh, we are fraggin mess ourselves, we aren't immortal like them, and we are a young race, sure, we do have hierarchies and all that, but to quote another-

You're supposed to change. You're never the same even moment to moment -- you're allowed and expected to invent who you are. What an incredible power -- the ability to grow up

Humans as a whole, we are incredibly stupid, we are evil, we are generous, we are apathetic, yet so protective of others of our kin or even other species

Humans are disgustingly beautiful beings that cannot be categorized as either good or evil...

And we are the creations of Unicron. We love, hate, and accept the cycle of death; we found that on our own

SO to put this rant to rest...

I just find it hilarious that cybertronians being taught how to be Human is the way to find the healing they need

It's literally this-

I LOVE TFP Optimus, but I think it's WILD (and hilarious) that he doesn't wanna kill Airachnid.

Like, that isn't even me criticizing the writing. It's actually a character flaw I love. My man does NOT take the threat of Airachnid seriously, and it's so funny.

In Optimus's defense, I understand his thinking to a degree. Arcee's obsession with revenge was distracting her, and making her reckless. So I totally get his logic that Arcee shouldn't kill Airachnid.

But, if Arcee shouldn't...maybe someone...like...SHOULD?😂

Airachnid killed Tailgate and hunts indigenous species for sport. Optimus is so focused on "revenge bad," he's forgetting that killing Airachnid would also prevent future brutal murders.

But the FUNNIEST part is Optimus FINALLY deciding to kill Megatron, but NOT Airachnid.

Like, think about it; Why did he finally decide to kill Megatron? Because Megatron crossed the line by harming an innocent child, Raf.

...Which he did because he HAPPENED to see Bumblebee (with Raf inside), while on his way to DO SOMETHING ELSE, and took the opportunity to shoot.

Meanwhile, Airachnid basically crash-landed on Earth, popped out of the ship and shouted: "I'M GONNA MURDER AS MANY INNOCENT YOUNG HUMANS AS POSSIBLE😃!"

And Optimus is like: THIS IS FINE!

Like bro, at least Megatron has a motive (harming Raf was something he did on a whim. Megatron is more interested in power). Airachnid just tortures and murders SPECIFICALLY HUMANS (the creatures Optimus is obsessed with protecting) for the lolz.

here’s the ramble that inspired @luxthestrange amazing work, check out the story on their page

so I wanna talk with tfp ratchet and skybound elita about wanting to fix their world even if it’ll destroy earth, I understand that yes, you miss your home after losing it to the war and just want it back and are willing to do anything to get it back, and that this war had torn you down, that your so tired and sick of the war, i truly understand that and also want them to get their home back and for that war to end peacefully and finally, I know they know that the thing that could get their home back could possibly have a consequence to it but I’m frustrated at the fact that they get mad at Optimus (not being biesed to Optimus as I love all the characters and will also get mad at dumb stuff he does) when he chooses to save earth, I know they probably feel betrayed for Optimus choosing earth than their home, but I want them to also understand that by getting their home back they’ll be taking the home of innocent beings who weren’t even fully involved in their war, who shouldn’t have had to get involved, a planet that got caught in the crossfire, a species that have families, homes and lives that got dragged into their war because they crashed landed in our planet, and it not their fault, it was an accident, but the fact that Optimus and some others know about this, and is trying to protect earth, that they’re the only ones that understand that they’ve dragged a planet that had nothing to do with them and wants to try and protect them, try and not to get our species involved while others just don’t seem to care just ajshajsbskshd, seriously skybound elita and tfp ratchet are you guys really willing to bare the guilt of taking the home of innocent beings?! To know that you’ve taken the lives of children, babies! People who are trying to grow and live, who have their own problems then to get involved with you, and still choose to try and help you guys, to show kindness, who could show you kindness! Just for a planet that your war killed?! TO SAVE YOUR PLANET THAT WAY WHEN THERE COULDVE BEEN OTHER WAYS THEN KILLING A WHOLE OTHER PLANET?!….it just pisses me off so much as I know that those two are good, that they care, but if they’re gonna pull a thing like that (especially and mostly skybound elita)….then they are no better then the enemies they call decepticons….honestly i really want to just talk with them, make them understand and learn a bit, scold and maybe lecture them about about destroying an innocent one’s home to get back another, especially when the innocent one had no involvement with them until now (after crash landing on the planet)

You think he's about to win, or at least have a small piece of happiness, and then they slap you in the face with "oH No, StARscrEAm EviL, sTARscrEam iNCapaBLe oF ChanGE, OH lOOk, mEGAtrOn cAN ChANge, He'S sO mUCh bEtTER tHan sTaRSCeam, StArScReAm iS tHe UlTiMaTe eVil". BULLSHIT, I CALL BULLSHIT!

THE ONLY FUCKING REASON PEOPLE LIKE MEGATRON SO MUCH IS BECAUSE OF HIS SHIP WITH OPTIMUS, outside of that he's not that interesting, he's not half of charismatic of entertaining as Starscream is on the screen.

I can tell you without a doubt that half of those Megatron fans are fans of him on his Pre-Decepticon Era. They don't want the tyrant warlord that wanted to conquest the galaxy with an iron fist, they want the revolutionary that wanted to stand up for his people against the corrupt government

I genuinely think Megatron is Primus favorite child, he gets away with pretty much everything without making the slightest effort, and Starscream is there to be his antithesis on a similar way to MCU Loki, or Loki in any kind of media. Bitch doesn't even make SHOWS REGRETFUL AND GETS FORGIVEN.

I'm sorry for all the yelling, Earthspark got me really good

I'm not saying that every Starscream deserves redemption or being forgiven. Bayverse and Knightverse were completely uninteresting for me. Skybound Starscream was an homicidal maniac that didn't regret his actions (I didn't care how many people he killed, I'm just sad about Skyfire), and Animated Starscream never showed any interest for change or redeeming qualities, you can say the same thing for G1 Starscream BUT— They deserve better.

They didn't deserve to be treated that way, not by Megatron, not by the writers and not by some part of the fandom

But Canon is Canon, and just complaining isn't going to solve anything. So I'm just going to write to let my steam off, because watching series and TV shows is supposed to be relaxing, not stressing me more

Probably half of the Transformers posts I'm gonna do are about Starscream AU ideas, What-Ifs, Headcanons, or straight up crack

Let’s talk about EarthSpark finale

Spoilers ahead: If you proceed, you understand you're getting spoiled.

No wonder he felt so lonely and got excited about having new friends, for them to then be annoyed by him 😭

LIKE HE BUILT FAKE FRIENDS BECAUSE HE WAS LONELY 🥲

The TFONE B-127 angst ive seen is actually insane-

》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》

Okay, so for those of you who haven't heard of Transformers Earth Spark, it's basically a show where the cybertronian War is technically over and now cybertronians are trying to get used to the life on earth. But they are completely treated like they are animals. If you want to watch the show yourself then go right ahead it should be on Amazon Prime or on Paramount Plus because this will contain spoilers for the first season and the 2nd season so feel free to skip this.

ANYWAY!

So all of you know the Decepticons right?

👆

These guys?

Well, near the end of the last episode of season 1 of Earth Spark they all decided to work together with the Decepticons to take down mandroid, the main antagonist of season 1. There was also two episodes where one of the Decepticons started to have a relationship with the Malto family. Like for example

Nightshade and tarantulas:

And Starscream and hashtag:

See how these two GIFs are completely wholesome? Infact, the first season teaches that even though somebody could be on the opposite side of things that doesn't initially mean that they are a bad guy completely, just misunderstood.

It teaches that everyone can have a second chance if they really try but not everyone can really get that second chance.

And then season 2 comes around,

And BOY was I pissed off about it.

Now I haven't watched season 2 myself but I have watched one episode in it and that's it. remember that I said that the Decepticons finally decided to fight Mandroid thanks to Twitch and that some of the Terrans actually had some decent relationships with some of the Decepticons?

Well season two just completely THROWS ALL OF IT OUT OF THE FUCKING WINDOW!!!

When I watch season 2 I thought it was going to be all cool and hype and I thought everyone was just overreacting over season 2. NOPE! THEY HAD THE RIGHT TO BE UPSET! Because one episode in and I was immediately flashed banged with shock. Robby was explaining after 2 years of like saving cybertronians from Mandroid's destruction the quintus prime Stone (I don't remember what it's called) kind of shattered into like thousands of pieces across the globe. He then says that the Decepticons help them to retrieve them but then they decided to turn on them and get the shards for themselves. EVEN THOUGH THE FIRST SEASON SAID THAT NOT ALL DECEPTICONS ARE BAD!!

Like where did this even come from!? And why make them back into villains when we already saw the shot of them HELPING TWITCH AND HER FAM FROM KILLING ALL CYBERTRONIANS!? Like, what is the point of this!? If you're just going to make them bad guys anyway, why give the Terrans a chance to understand them and sympathize with the 'cons!? You had such a good new take on the Transformers yet you decided to throw away that said good take and just take it back to square one!

WHAT THE HELL HASBRO!?

*SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

And don't get me started with Bumblebee's relationship with Breakdown. You clearly set them up to be best buddies and then you just set that friendship arc on fire and just went on the 'Con vs 'Bot arc again. But the part that pisses me off the most is Starscream's abandon arc. Earthspark *clearly* wanted to make this Starscream as sympathetic as possible and this could have worked well. IF THEY DIDNT MAKE HIM THE MAIN VILLIAN IN SEASON 2!

And I guess prowl appearing in season 3 is kind of nice but it would have been better if he was like the villain instead of Starscream. If they were going to be good Decepticons then there has to be bad Autobots. But hey, Hasbro isnt keen on keeping promises are you Hasbro?

God, you had such a good idea and you just had to ruin it with season 2 and 3. I hope the rumors of Earthspark getting canceled are true thanks to this.

Also, GIVE US A TRUELY, ACTUAL, HEROIC, SYMPATHETIC STARSCREAM FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! **AND DONT FUCK IT UP THIS TIME!!!**

Okay, I think I'm done for now, but I might add a part 2 if I decided to watch the rest of season 2 and season 3.
