Wham Bam in the Van!!!

When they say the transformers war is 4 million years long- do they mean Earth Years or Cybertronian years because our time management is different.

A Cybertronian year (depending on continuity) is 400 (cybertronian) days long with each day consisting of 20 Earth hours. Multiplying that makes it 8,000 human hours per year.

Earth years are 365 days consisting of 24 hours increments. That’s 8,760 Earth hours.

They have a 760 hour difference which is equal to 31.667 Earth Days. So a month in difference.

That means Earth years are longer than Cybertronian years by roughly an Earth Month.

It takes 35,040,000,000 Earth Hours to equal 4 million Earth Years.

It takes 32,000,000,000 Earth Hours to equal 4 million Cybertron Years.

There’s a difference of 3,040,000,000 Hours between the Cybertron and Earth.

They have a 126,666,667 Earth Day Difference; 152,000,000 Cybertronian Day Difference.

Which means they have a 347,031.964 Earth Year difference; 380,000 Cybertronian Year Difference.

35,040,000,000 Earth Hours = 1,460,000,000 Earth Days = 4,000,000 Earth Years

32,000,000,000 Earth Hours = 1,600,000,000 Cybertronian Days = 4,000,000 Cybertronian Years

20 hours = 8000 Hours per 400 days = 1 year

35,040,000,000(Earth Hours)/20 (Earth Hours) = 1,752,000,000(Cybertronian Days)/400 (Cybertronian Days) = 4,380,000 Cybertronian Years

4 Million Earth Years = 4,380,000 (4.38 Million) Cybertronian Years

4 Million Cybertronian Years = 3,652,968.04 (3.7 Million) Earth Years

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I’m genuinely curious to see the most correct answer. Even if my math is off, we can still see that there is a difference.

BOY DO I EVER

Tarn actually does not understand the Primal Vernacularfluently. He can pick up bits and pieces here and there, but, oftenmisunderstands Vos. Kaon has no such difficulty. Trolling abounds.

Helex and Tesarus have competitions with everything.  Who can lift the most, who can hit thehardest, who can drink the most, etc. Once, Tess got Helex to do a staringcontest with him. It took Helex a while to realize he’d been conned.

Vos rides on Helex and Tess’s shoulders often. It makes himfeel tall. He prefers Helex because Helex is warm.

Vos has ridden the Pet into battle before. Helex haspictures.

Tarn wakes late sleepers by blaring the Empyrean Suite intheir quarters. This happens to Tess most often.

Helex has used Kaon to power electronics before.

Though Kaon uses echolocation to move about, and often hasthe Pet to guide him, he still sometimes gets lost on the ship on occasion. Itnever lasts long because the Pet will find him.

The Pet has been known to curl up with everyone in recharge.Each member of the DJD has woken with him on them at least once. It annoys theslag out of Nickel.

Tarn actually legitimately did not know that there were somany obscene hand gestures until he met Nickel.

Tess will recharge anywhere, at any time. Once, Helex tookadvantage of this by sticking fake eyes on either side of his ‘X’ visor. No onetold him for the longest time.

Kaon was the one who eventually told Tess he had somethingon his face.

Kaon is the communications officer and often uses thecomputer on ship. Helex doesn’t understand how. Tess doesn’t care.

For the longest time, Tess and Helex didn’t know Kaon wasblind. They thought he had some kind of mod that allowed him to see withoutoptics.

Once, Helex pulled a prank on Vos while he was recharging, purposefullyensuring he woke up stuck in his alt mode. He didn’t count on Kaon assistingVos in shooting him in the aft in retaliation.

Kaon will steal everyone’s food. Even Tarn’s. Vos is anexception because Vos shares.

Tess has used his blades to shred prank evidence before.Helex took the remnants and smelted them. Tarn facepalmed.

[Sent 5:00am] Ever since I saw you you have plagued my mind every night. I can barely get a good night's recharge all because of you. At first I thought it was because of anger, anger at how you had the audacity to fight beside the traitorous Megatron while organic, anger that he would chose a side that supports your kind over the noble Decepticon cause, but I've come to realize that it isn't just anger I feel. It's a longing. A desire. I want you. I want you to want me. And given time, I know you will.

Pencil Board Promo Art for Transformers the Movie 

I really love the more realistic take of the characters here. Sometimes this stylistic approach doesn’t look quite right (it’s hard to draw Transformers in general), but it works very well in this case. 

When a mech with sharp claws goes tink tink on something

Somemech walking in slowly and it goes [CLONK] [CLONK] [CLONK] as the camera sloooowly pans up

Bumblebee's eyes dilating/expanding and going whirr whirr in the process

"Eeeehp ep ep ep !!"

Megatron's wide theatre kids arms gestures

Optimus having huge flats digits but Very Gentle

How heavy the bigger mechs look, sound and feel

Character : finely crafted, insane amount of details, scratch marks on their paint to showcase how much the war took a toll on them, subtle nuances in expressions

Rocks : Ugly CGI Shapes

Everyone's unique eye's details so you can never get wrong on a dramatic eye close up

The Transformers Transformation Noise™️ but it actually sounds like hundred of mechanical parts shifting and clanging together

*Megadeep Peter Cullen Voice™️ : "MEGATRONN."

*Smug Villain Frank Welker™️ Voice* : "INDEEEED"

*Deep Plotting Villain Steve Blum Voice* : "Yes, Maaaster~"

When you can see through Soundwave’s visor at a very specific moment during the wheeljack fight because Oh My God Did You Catch That?? Give Me The Remote So We Can Rewind!!!

Miko in the apex armor kicking the shit out of Starscream.

KNOCKOUT. FUCKER CATCALLED OPTIMUS PRIME.

Jack mistaking Soundwave’s legs for Arcee’s in the same episode.

Smokescreen’s phase shifter shenanigans, and then they get sad :(

Starscream missing the Autobot base because they painted another identical hanger with the letter ‘E’

tHe cLaW

Predaking’s voice being the most smooth and elegant voicework in the entire show as a wonderful contrast to how he was introduced.

Wheeljack and gas stations. (it never ends well)

“human horror films- IN DRIVE-IN THEATRES!”

June saying that she “wore heels and everything” in response to learning Optimus isn’t home.

Breakdown and vehicons.

expressions!!! so many good ones!!!!!

starscream's wing movement reflecting his current emotions

knockout's subtle reaction realising it wasn't breakdown in breakdown's body

ratchet's drug-induced monologue going OFF on optimus

predaking's sick as hell roar

cute little character design choices like the scars on wheeljack's face & breakdown's eyepatch

literally all the voice actors. all of them are outstanding

the absolutely INSANE noises the insecticons make

this is going to be juicy

that one fight scene in an autumn forest between dreadwing and bulkhead that looked fucking gorgerous

that one fight scene between wheeljack and soundwave during sunset that also looked fucking gorgeous

hey optimus, you wanna see something funny?

no.

dreadwing's arc [which was ruined by him dying in vain, but it was still very sweet nonetheless]

knockout getting stuck in the wall due to phase shifter malpractice and megatron just Leaving Him There for like 2 days

when soundwave :)'d

agent fowler & breakdown's surprisingly wholesome conversation

KO 'joining the winning team' because he's a petty bitch

•the hexagon details in airachnids eyes that make her seem more buggy

•DIFFERENT LIGHTS ON DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE BOTS!! Airachnid with purple all around her body (her eyes as well), Knockout with red along his back (and his eyes), Wheeljack with blue on his back and so on

•you can see how worn down all the bots are besides knockout

•breakdowns response to airachnid in Metal Attraction is him making a joke about how he looks ugly because of the eyepatch

•"Bulkhead! I needed that!!"

•how toxic the infected plague energon looked like (how gas or oil looks in water)

•CLANCY BROWN VOICING CILAS

•DWAYNE JOHNSON VOICING CLIFFJUMPER

•the wheels on knockouts back moving in certain situations

•optimus' eye blinking when he had the plague

•ratchet always has a resting bitch face AND an underbite

•most of the times when something/someone is thrown by breakdown, it almost always hits knockout

•when a bot sends a signal like starscream, a photo and diagram of the bot shows up

•starscreams h e e l s

•breakdowns friendly voice when talking to knockout and the vehicons compared to talking to megatron or bulkhead

•breakdown fucking trying to flex his muscles and screaming at the top of his lungs when bulkhead was like "Mines bigger" referring to the hammer

•"I'm an emergency vehicle" and "Wanna ride with the siren on"

•Megatron AND Cylas cracking their necks before fighting

•how fucking DUMB both knockout and breakdown can be at times

•knockout saying "Come to papa"

•Agent Fowler confusing the bots with earth slangs

•*sigh* "No agent fowler, why?"

•optimus' reaction when ultra magnus asked "Uhm. What's a kilt?"

Optimus sounding like this really really tired dad IN GENERAL

Ratchet is assistant tired dad but is actually very vocal about it.

Ratchet’s little almost threatening stomp when he’s protesting the kids being there “squish”

Ratchet’s noise of suffering every time Bulk or the others fuck something up AGAIN “aauuw” with so much pain please give him a bREAK

Starscream trying to make himself look all defenseless and almost adorable every time he does some dumb shit and is confronted on it by someone very blatantly able to fuck his shit up

Then on the flip side his over cocky nature 😈 when he believes he has the upper hand and how quickly that changes back to 🥺🥺🥺

Already mentioned but I gotta emphasize Knockout and every comment he’s ever made while getting cocky during fights he has such good one liners while twirling his weapons I hate him

THE AWKWARD FUCKIN WAY PRIME SITS WHEN IN JACKHAMMER WE DONT TALK ABOUT THIS ENOUGH

But then, in Energon, Unicron fucking died. Like, he ended up dead, that shit had never happened before. And Unicron passed from being alive and existing in all universes in tandem, to be dead in one of them. The fabric of reality couldn’t take it and started to collapse on itself (the setting in Cybertron) which manifests as all the errors that occur in all the continuities.

If I remember correctly, it’s called The Unicron Singularity

All the animation errors, all the continuity inconsistencies

Starscream had Thundercracker’s paintjob for a few frames? Unicron Singularity

“Uhhh, yeah, hi, listen, there’s a jet parked at one of my pumps and I dunno if he’s one’a yours or one’a the other guys, but he won’t go away and he seems kinda…”

Prowl cross-referenced the colloquial usages for ‘kinda’ and found nothing useful. “I’m sorry, sir, I don’t quite understand.”

The human on the other end of the line hummed, a noise that communicated little besides ‘bear with me, I’m searching my onboard lexicographal dictionary.’ It took longer than Prowl would have liked; that coupled with a cursory vocal cue analysis suggested the human himself was ‘kinda’ sleep-deprived. Small wonder, as it was on the wrong side of midnight when most humans were genetically programmed to enter their period of dormancy. Prowl waited patiently until the humming stopped and the human started speaking again.

“If I didn’t know better, I’d say he was kinda - drunk. Y’all can’t get drunk, can you?”

…oh, Primus. “No, but there is a similar state of impaired functioning that occurs when one of our species imbibes surplus amounts of concentrated energon,” Prowl admitted with a grimace he was grateful no one could see, alone in the comms room as he was. “What is the subject doing now?”

“…talkin’ to himself, mostly. Loudly.”

“Is there any way to let me listen?”

“Oh, yeah, sure. Hang on.”

A brief grating sound - a window opening, Prowl thought - and then the faint burble he’d been ignoring since picking up the call resolved itself into an unfortunately familiar voice.

“-c’n wait here aaaaaalllll night! I demand full surface - surf - service! Imma TRUCK, an’ I gotta full load of energon cubes t’shlrup - schlep - SHIP dammit t’ Darkmount! Stickit in your cannon, Mergletron. Imma truck.”

Oh, sweet fancy Primus on a silicon cracker.

“Listen carefully,” Prowl instructed the human. “The subject has been identified at 80% accuracy as the Decepticon Starscream. Do not approach. Stay inside and I will send a squad to take him into custody.”

“Uhh, sure. Couldja hurry? He’s blocking two pumps.”

“The Autobots will be there with all due speed,” Prowl promised. “Hold, please.” He switched lines to rouse the nighttime response crew and after a moment’s calculation, roused Jazz from a sound slumber to accompany them.

God so now that I finally made this blog to spare those on my main accounts I can scream about my TFP viewing so far with wild abandon and post my screenshots. This bit killed me. Starscream FULLY committing to this story and Knockout's sheer level of bewilderment. LOOK AT HIS FACE

Starscream you're literally telling the friggin medic your arm fell off and not just any medic. KO is a medic who's 'better at breaking them than fixing them' so he'll be even more acutely aware of force levels needed to be applied for certain injuries such as, oh Idk, an arm detachment.

And then KO being like "my dude you're fuckin lying but getting a proper answer ain't worth the argument so lemme take the time to find you another arm" and Starscream is like "nvm"

His sheer dumbfounded expressions kill me.

'BITCH'

Same energy as:
