Drift is one of my favorite characters but I struggle w how much he’s smoothed out by the fanon interpretation. There’s a real collision between ‘these are a collection of deeply flawed individuals both desperate to move on with their lives and entirely unwilling to let go of old grudges’ and the fandom ‘these are all good boys who either did nothing wrong or are abusive monsters’ that haunts most of the lost light cast.
There’s one unequivocal Good Boy and it’s Thunderclash and that part of him is played for laughs?

Transformers Medical Analysis 2: Cybertronian Cultural and Medical Distinctions Regarding the Physical Form
Back at it again with another Transformers essay; Going to try to keep this one shorter than usual as I spent all day doing more healthcare training (weekends don’t exist when you are Ratchet-like in your intensity regarding patient advocacy, I guess lmao)
Organs Versus Parts: What’s the Difference?
Transformers Prime: T-Cog versus Vocaliser
In TFP, Ratchet states in Operation: Bumblebee that he cannot build a replacement T-Cog, and this combined with Bumblebee’s damaged vocaliser implies pretty clearly that there are components of a Cybertronian that cannot be effectively repaired and cannot be fully replaced or manufactured.
Ratchet: “Miko, a T-Cog is a biomechanism, not a scrapyard find.”
Where part or organ replacement is an option, transplant may be possible, but of course, that depends on a lot of things, such as there being a viable donor in the first place, as well as the availability of any medicines or surgical supplies etc.
But we can reasonably infer that the T-Cog is a unique component that seems to be in some way nearly irreplaceable, either due to lack of availability of donor replacements or the lack of ability to construct a T-Cog from other materials.
In regards to Bumblebee’s T-Cog surgery, Arcee describes the T-Cog specifically as “the organ that allows us to transform”.
This hints at a clear physical (and possibly cultural/linguistic distinction as well) between components that are considered “parts” and those that are considered “organs”.
Based on Ratchet’s statement, we can safely assume that part of this distinction in general is medical, with basis in physiology. Some parts may be relatively easy to replace or swap out, while others may be more particularly sensitive or unique to an individual Cybertronian (such as the protoform, which is almost always depicted as being a unique element of each bot that cannot be replaced or easily repaired).
The medical distinction between organs and parts may be the difficulty in building replacements, or may refer to parts that cannot or generally are not replaced for various reasons:
For example, the way Ratchet alludes to Bumblebee’s vocaliser damage in at least a couple episodes (albeit briefly), he discusses it in the framing of being unable to repair the vocaliser in a way that suggests the vocaliser is deemed a part and not an organ.
The “organs” may be core components one obtains with their first frame or as their spark/protoform develops, and “parts” may be anything that can be swapped out (like frame armour, which undergoes routine upgrades or repairs as needed).
This may have implications regarding the vocaliser as a component that is deemed a part and not necessarily an organ, but again, it could be down to level of repair potential that at least partially defines the difference in categorisation.
This would explain Ratchet’s distinction of “organs” as being biomechanical, as opposed to “parts” which might just be manufactured from various Cybertronian metalloids as needed.
IDW 1/IDW 2005 Transformers: Forged versus Cold Construction
The cultural distinction between the supposed quality of forged versus cold constructed components may be based in Cybertronian cultural lore or some degree of theological/historical mythos, as well as social codes.
For example, in IDW 1 (2005), there is a serious cultural distinction between forged components (viewed as natural, innate) and cold-constructed components (viewed as artificial, manufactured).
This also seems to have some medical implications as well, with Ratchet stating his belief (which again, seems rooted in cultural and social elements which likely existed in some form pre-war and may have been adapted over time to apply to cold construction specifically) that forged components may be more reliable or better in quality overall.
However, we don’t see much hard evidence of this, and it may be a hold-over concept from the pre-war cultural environment rather than anything based in solid medical fact.
(Which makes it interesting that Ratchet is the one who brings this up, and it may in fact be an expression of his own anxieties regarding his own health problems which he does his best to ignore, which is likely rooted in several thought and perception processes and biases. I could do a deep-dive on Ratchet-specific psychology at some point in the future, honestly…)
Alternatively, as Cybertronian medicine is still not really explored in-depth in any TF media to date (in terms of what is clinically factual in-universe, essentially), it could be that there are some notable medical or physical property differences in forged versus cold constructed components, but the specifics of this aren’t really mentioned in canon to any significant degree and as a result are almost entirely unknown or unconfirmed in canon.
However, in the context of parts versus organs, this brings up a lot of potential ethical and practical (including physiological) questions… I’ll probably do another post specifically about cold construction in the future.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: The cold construction/forged social distinction, if not any formal medical distinction which may exist as well, can be interpreted as a Cybertronian form of ableism due to how it impacts the lives of cold constructed bots.
Whether or not there is any verifiable medical differentiation present between forged and cold constructed components or the overall entity of the individual themselves (which gets into some serious territory conceptually), that does not legitimise the ableism cold constructed bots very much seem to deal with.
We do see elements of different kinds of ableism in Cybertronian society pre and post war, both in-universe and sometimes as a result of missteps by various authors/show writers/etc., so I want to to a write-up specifically about that at some point in the future as well.
It does raise serious ethical questions, though, and if this post weren’t already so long, I’d pull out the Biomedical Ethics legislation as defined by the ECHR (you can see some of their example case studies in bioethics here) and a whole bunch of other resources to back up my interpretation of things, but that will be in the eventual cold construction specific analysis!
Transformers Animated: (Body) Parts Shop
In TFA, we get a hint at this organ/parts distinction to some degree, when Ratchet loses his cool over a second-hand shop display.
There’s a notable distinction implied between more casually replaceable parts (“scrapyard finds”) and actual Cybertronian core components (“organs”):
Ratchet: “It’s barbaric! There oughta be a law against it!”
Optimus: “It’s just an auto supply store, Ratchet.”
Ratchet: “You mean they actually sell spare parts on the open market?!? What kind of malfunction would be crass enough to buy this stuff?“
Ratchet is genuinely upset about seeing spare parts in a store window, and the implication is that Ratchet may be interpreting this auto shop display as a kind of black market organ trade type situation.
He does still refer to them as spare parts, not organs, although in TFA there is less distinction made about this and we can reasonably assume that “spare parts” in this context is essentially in reference to both innate (organ) and replaceable or manufacturable (part) components.
Interestingly, Optimus is not as upset about the display; This may be because Optimus is slightly more aware of human culture than Ratchet is, or possibly because Ratchet is older, has seen more of the war overall, and may have actually experienced an organ black market bust or similar previously…
Ratchet carries significant trauma as a veteran front lines medic, and what happened to him and Arcee during the war can be interpreted as differing types and severities of medical torture (including, depending on your interpretation of events, organ/part theft).
As a result, it may be the case that Ratchet’s unique traumatic experiences may then lead him to conflate parts and organs perhaps moreso than other Cybertronian medics might, although we don’t see enough of Cybertronian medicine or other Cybertronian medics or medical details in TFA to say this for sure.
We also don’t know if this part/organ conflation is only something he does casually (immediate reaction/possible PTSD like reaction versus how he might identify these things in a medical context).
TFA seems to often conflate and associate parts/organs as interchangeable for the most part, so this may also be down to TFA’s writing style and preferences for dialogue and so on.
Either way: Parts versus Organs! Interesting Cybertronian medical distinction (or conflation)!
I hope this was an interesting read, and thank you to anyone who actually read through all of this! <3
EDIT: I keep adding to this lmao I need to get some self control!! There will be more in this Cybertronian Medicine Analysis series soon! :’)

announcement & update on my writing ! <3 | 27/08/2021
Hello Everyone !
It’s been a while (´͈ ᵕ `͈ ）sorry for the sudden inactivity, two weeks ago I moved to the Netherlands for my studies and have been caught up in moving into my accomodation. Furthermore, classes will start on September !
In short, I don’t know when I can complete your requests. I didn’t even get the chance to finish some of the requests sent in last month, I’m truly sorry for the wait ! I have no choice but to close the ask box ( for now ) but to those who sent in your requests : I am still doing them, but I can’t promise you that I’ll deliver them soon. I hope that’s alright with all of you ! (⭒•͈ 𓎺 •͈ )
Thank you for trusting me with your precious requests, I’ll do my best to answer them when I have time. Meanwhile, I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. (ˊ•͈ ◡ •͈ˋ)

Hi hi,Asking for a match up from both.
Ok so im a 5ft Asexual Agnostic intp who likes to draw like A lot especially when an inspiration or mood starts n it last from a week to a few months. I also have a tenancy to act n adlip along the voice of whatever I'm watching if my hands are free or If I want to entertain myself thou I prefer to do that when I know I'm alone in the room/house.
I tend to ignore whoever calls me once or twice when I'm busy or don't feel like answering.I also hates sudden loud noise n would glare if possible to the one responsible n I would take things to my own hands if it's really the last thing I can do as I prefer to avoid uncessary conflict .
I make strange laughter noise whenever I find something funny or when I'm mentally or physically pained/discomfort or when Im sad/angry that I can still tolerate.If not,I will hid myself away from others until I'm able to calm down.
As All introvert do,I'm more open n daring with my friends and a lot more bolder in acting out just for kicks or for dramatic purposes when I'm in public with my friends like saying a random phrase when we enter a room or kneeling on the floor etc whenever it's appropriate to be dramatic.If I'm alone,I'm just normal n ppl would think I might be a mute.
Whenever ppl wants a opinion on something ,I say what I mean and thinks unless that someone is someone who I really dislike which then I would say I don't know or something similar.
I also have a tenancy to look into things/topics that give the vibe of unknown,fearful and/or the disturbing even thou I know I can't handle much of it.One eg is watching g a clip of a horror movie n I would be hyper alert of the dark especially close to midnight which is usually the time that I sleep
That's all I can think about myself,thanks for reading n take ur time to match me.Have fun~
A/N: Hello! I'm sorry this took quite some time, thank you for waiting <3 I hope you're doing well (⭒•͈ 𓎺 •͈ ) I think I'll pair you up with tfp Soundwave and idw Nightbeat!
TFP SOUNDWAVE
01 | If there's one word to describe Soundwave is that he's quiet. Therefore you don't have to worry so much about any sudden loud noises when you're with him. He offered you peace and quiet in a ship that's constantly filled with noise. Whenever Starscream starts complaining too much you would almost immediately follow Soundwave out of the room. It's even more surprising to see that he lets you come along. You'd spend your days drawing on his desk and in the beginning, no words were exchanged between the two of you. But you can feel him staring ( it took you a while to realize that it was Soundwave's way of admiring you.)
02 | He doesn't keep secrets from Megatron, but he's not cruel enough to separate you from the outside world. Soundwave will take you on patrol and for some reason, your friends would be conveniently not far away. He lets you run off to meet them until it's time to go back. You can tell Laserbeak followed you the whole time and If it was someone else it would be creepy, but you know it's Soundwave's way of keeping you safe. " Did you have fun ?" He'd ask, in someone else's voice, and you'd nod and say thank you. He'd play out a clip of you goofing off with your friends and followed it with a smiley face, making you feel shy even if you know it's his way of saying he likes to see you have a good time.
03| He appreciated how straightforward you are. Soundwave remembers what you like and what you don't like, and this is helpful whenever disagreements happen. This may be a reason why it doesn't happen often. He feels responsible for you if not protective, while he feigns indifference in front of everyone else, Soundwave cares a lot for you. So when he heard you nervously laugh at the syringe Knockout was holding for your annual checkup, the second in command decided to stay in the room. Letting a tentacle slither across your hand for you to hold.
04 | He cares for you in his own subtle way, and that's the beauty of being in a relationship with Soundwave. His favorite part of the day is when he'll walk in on you watching tv. He'll linger by the doorway to watch you follow along the lines and laugh to yourself, capturing the moment so he can watch it whenever he feels tired. As cold and detached Soundwave may seem, he does love you. You can tell from the way he's always trying to cover your eyes whenever Megatron lashes out at a Vehicon, knowing that even if your morbid curiosity may lead you down a path you might regret, he's more than ready to protect you.
IDW NIGHTBEAT
01| You and Nightbeat are two peas in a pod. You share so many interests and hobbies that it's only natural for the two of you to get along well. He was the first to reach out and befriend you, asking your opinion on the latest mystery he had set his eyes on. While you tend to get scared during investigations, Nightbeat is always more than willing to take the lead. He'd hold your hand and take the first step inside a dark room, your curious natures leading you to a lot of adventures. You'd also help draw his descriptions, adding on to his discussions with equal passion. According to Swerve, you became the Watson to his Holmes.
02| While he may be more outgoing compared to you, you were both natural introverts who prefer to spend company one on one. When you're alone with him you tend to be drawing while he reads, stopping to talk to him every once in a while. You appreciate how he respects your space and lets you do things based on your mood. If you were up for it, Nightbeat would take you to Swerves where you'll spend the night with the others. Surrounded by friends, Nightbeat adores how outgoing and funny you can be, always laughing and clapping whenever you do one of Brainstorm's dares. After a fun night of goofing around, he'd tell you how amazing you were, feeling like the luckiest mech to ever exist.
03| He likes how straightforward you are, yet even if your bluntness is appreciated, this may sometimes lead to several disagreements. Arguments don't happen often between the two of you since Nightbeat himself is very rational, but it does upset him sometimes when you ignore the mech just because you feel like it. But you tell him it's because he can get too noisy at times. It gets overwhelming, especially when he's in Brainstorm's lab with Perceptor testing out new experiments. In the end, you'll both compromise and decide on common ground, knowing there's no point in arguing when conflict emotionally and mentally drains the two of you ( and that you'd avoid it if possible.)
04| You like how Nightbeat is almost up for anything. He's up for exploring the latest ship mystery or just having a quiet night in with you where you both ad-lib to different kinds of television shows. You find it endearing how he's always trying his best to help. Whenever you isolate yourself to calm down, you'll find him patiently waiting outside the room with a smile, comforting you whenever you need it. He also knows you're sincere with your words and actions, and it makes him happy to know that the two of you make a great pair.
I hope you enjoy this ! xx
