This idea struck me that what if Clock Drift is a movie adaptation of the story between Drift and Rodimus, perhaps similar to Social Network (2013)? There could be a guest panel on the day of the premiere featuring the story’s protagonists themselves:

One of the questions from the host was “Any adaptations that drifted/deviated too far from the facts?” Drift mentioned there was technically no such concept of “angels” in spectralism. Introducing the word “angel” to the film was part of the screenwriter’s plan to facilitate understanding among the vast organic audience, and of course to build a more solid conversation at the climax. And then Drift begun to elaborate on the minute differences between Cybertronian religions, before he was cut off by an impatient Rodimus, saying “you know this is not something they wanna hear about”. Rodimus’ answer to this question was: Drift didn’t act as bossy as he was depicted in the movie when they first reunited. As a matter of fact, he appeared much cooler and gentler than Rodimus had expected. “Frankly, I was pretty mad at you for a while,” Drift commented, “it’s just I’m better that mood management.”

Before long the host asked another question like “Was there really a contract to sell Rodimus’ soul?” Drift denied it with absolute certainty, claiming there’s no slavery in modern, civilized Cybertron. “However,” he said as he grinned, “Rodimus did promise that in case he ever hurts me or vexes me again, he’d issue an Indulgence to me each time he does that. So this Indulgence thing is like a voucher, a chance for me to do whatever I want with him.” The host sensed something intriguing to follow up and asked, “How many of those vouchers have you got so far?” It was Rodimus who answered, with some inexplicable eagerness, “two - and neither of them has been used.” Drift cast an esoteric glance at Rodimus: “I do have some plans for them, one of which is the trip that we’ve been pushing off for too long, and the other… We’ll, I’d better not spoil the surprise too soon.” Rodimus, seeing the smile on Drift’s faceplate, sputtered nervously: “Is it… is it going to be the kind of surprise that I love?” Drift shook his head, still smiling, “Sorry, Roddy, probably not.”

And the last question has to be “Do you still have feelings for each other?” Drift and Rodimus responded almost simultaneously, the former saying no while the latter saying yes. There was an embarrassing moment of silence hovering above them as their optics met. Drift asked Rodimus “what kind of feelings”, and Rodimus stated, in aserious matter more than ever, “I feel like we’re going to achieve something together.” “Alright,” Drift said, “I feel the same way.”

Translation of my recent favorite. Death Stranding hit Cybertronians pretty hard, but some of them found a way out of it - perhaps an even better way than what could have been without it.

Just discovered this soundtrack that I never knew it existed until today and I am now full of questions like:

1. Why is Rex’s theme called blueberry instead of strawberry, raspberry, lingonberry, cranberry or anything that’s red

2. Why does Mark’s theme sound so similar to Rex’s as if they’re two variations of the same melody

3. Why does Universa have a theme song while she’s not in the animation at all (future plans perhaps?)

Magneto as Megatron's holoform avatar ungh 😩

Even his bleeding eyes reminds me of IDW Megatron's gladiator tattoos

My left brain: It would be cool if the first Ultra Magnus was asexual or even arosexual

My right brain: No it’s even cooler if they were nympho

My cerebellum: There could be alternate universes that are mutually exclusive…

What we see

What they see

This Magneto is literally Megatron's holomatter avatar, complete with the all-white fit, white/gray hair, the bucket helm, ideology gone wrong, daddyness, and the generic good guy ex-husband-boyfriend who wants to stop him but won't kill him but is also no better than him who also occasionally has morally dubious ways to keep the peace he keeps on preaching

MY AGENTS ARE ALL MORONS!!!

I think transformers takes the cake for being one of The Most confusing franchises ever. Especially for outsiders/beginners.

To start off the confusion, every design stems from 80s toys that already reuse models like crazy but because these ones are so COMPLICATED to design the recycling is even more prolific. We’ve got the same 8 guys walking around with the same body but different colours or maybe just an accent/detail or two that’s changed. That is IT. And it’s gotten so intense that there’s a whole culture around frame types both within canon and fanon at large.

But that’s not all!! Because there are also so many transformer anime. So there’s also this tendency for people to confuse transformers with other robot designs. You’ve got gundams and voltron and the angels from evangelion and literally every other mecha design out there all crammed into one lexicon.

It is all in one pot for most people. It is insanity. Then you’ve also got the fact that in IDW they introduce so many more background characters (did we not have enough already) and kind of start running out of designs so they just make characters all look almost the same and don’t give a single fuck. Not one.

But there’s MORE. Because even with all this insanity, transformers had the nerve to start changing characters around. So even if you get ratchet down in one continuity good fucking luck figuring out that’s the same person in another. Ratchet is easy, though, because his name is distinct and they keep his character and colours decently consistent if one of you fucks mention bayverse I will end you. Others aren’t so lucky. For example, good luck keeping track of either of the waves. I certainly couldn’t for quite a while.

Transformers has so many characters in it but they get swapped around and so many canons that also kinda get swapped around and nothing makes sense but I’m sure if you know enough it must start to. At some point. There has to be a pattern there of some sort.

But the fact that any of you have a decent grasp on more than one chosen continuity, let alone the whole franchise, is beyond me. I am in fear. I am in awe. I am locking my door at night and shutting my blinds. Good day

Never expected this to have a part 2 but here we go

I know Ratchet and Pharma were never officially a thing but I don’t care

Why does Genos has an ass

Like why metal bumps

He's a beautiful young man who happens to have a mostly artificial body.

Don't hate 'cos he's fly.

Just because he's modified his body extensively does not mean that he has no use for aesthetics.

M: Myriads of Mosaics that Mould the Myth of ultra Magnus Or what we talk about when we talk about Ultra Magnus - Xaaron, Optimus Prime, Prowl and Tyrest recollecting the first Ultra Magnus they once knew. He could be a classmate, a friend, a lover, a superior, and even a creature of your imagination.

Another of my recent favorites, where I experimented loads of headcanons on the mysterious first Ultra Magnus in IDW 1.0, inspired by the idea in MTMTE notebooks that Ultra Magnus was once Tyrest’s protege (together with Xaaron), my theories on the toxic parent-child relationship between Tyrest and Prowl, Blade Runner, Judge Dredd and many others.   It’s still in Chinese but happy to translate - please let me know if you’re interested!
