It just occurred to me that the show has been setting up Mo and Robby to be foils for Mandroid. Think about it:
-the kids have Cybertronian tech forced on them while Mandroid forcibly took his
-Despite what Mandroid claims, he’s using his tech for selfish reasons while the kids use theirs on behalf of others
-Mandroid has no one while the kids have family and friends
-Mandroid is obviously having a bad time due to his tech and Robby is also going to have a bad time (he’ll get better though)
-Mandroid appoints himself protector of humanity while Mo and Robby are appointed protectors of the Terran race by Quintus Prime (I’m going by the synopsis leaks on this point)

So I just found out that there’s a new transformers show called Transformers: Earth Spark, and I’m...a little excited for it. I temper expectation, but this looks promising because there’s:
-Animated Elita One
-TWO BLACK PROTAGONISTS! IN TRANSFORMERS! IT”S USUALLY THE TOKEN WHITE BOY! BUT TWO BLACK SIBLINGS! AND THEIR HAIR IS SO CURLY! AH-!
-Designs and animation are pretty decent, although lips on transformers are always weird.
-I think we just saw how transformers were made. Kind of? It’s never really been clear how they were made in any of the shows. I think it’s in the comics, but I don’t have access to that.
-And while Peter Cullen is not voicing Optimus Prime (I think he’s going to be doing the new Beast Wars movie that’ll hit theaters), the voice actor for Optimus Prime is the iconic Alan Tudyk! 
Needless to say, this is going to be interesting.

Title: The Wealthiest Mech on Earth  Summary: In which Megatron is the last to know he’s apparently conjunxed to Elita-1 and Optimus Prime.   (wip/preview of what i’m working on/not proofread)  (Elita and Optimus are in an established relationship w/sparkings in this fic)
----
He lagged behind as usual, watching in admiration as Elita gracefully introduced herself to the human dignitaries. She was a natural speaker, and the way she managed to assert herself in a way that was both respectful and demanding of respect. Something he’d clearly failed to do in the past. 
She gestured towards Optimus with a graceful swing of her servo, identifying him as the Leader of Cybertron and her honored conjunx. Optimus bowed his head humbly, soaking in Elita’s words as if his spark revolved around her. 
Any jealousy had for the two of them in the past had long since evaporated. Simply being allowed to be this near them, near their family had been enough for him. As Megatron, Leader of the Decepticons, he had let hat rage consume him. Now he was content enough to live vicariously through them, picking up the kindness afforded him like table scraps.
“And this is Megatron of Tarn, the former Leader of the Decepticons.” He stepped closer as Elita mentioned him, slow to approach the humans due to his past with them. He couldn’t sense human EM fields, but Morgan Malto was attempting to teach him how to read people’s auras (after teaching him how to read something called tarot cards, first) and he assumed they were still uneasy around a former dictator. 
He didn’t blame them. He opened his mouth to repeat his memorized apology and promise for a better future, but Elita’s next phrase stole the words right from his mouth. 
"-and my and Optimus Prime’s other conjunx."  Megatron did everything to keep his jaw from falling off. Did Elita-1 just call him what he believed she did? Or were his circuits rusting.
He swore he heard Optimus laughing behind his mask. 
His voice box glitched, answering the human’s who spoke to him with clipped responses. When had that happened. 
It’s only logical, Megatron. Did you think watching their sparklings ‘24/7’ as the humans called it was simply a favor? Shockwave’s communication pinged in his processor. They wouldn’t let just any mech around their sparklings. You trapped yourself without even realizing it. 
He wanted to respond to Shockwave, but Dorothy’s text came in next. 
Megs? I thought you said you were just friends with them! And judging by your face, you thought you were too. Twitch says congratulations btw. Hashtag says the movie’s going to be really good. It read. 
Frag it–he’d forgotten the peace agreement was being streamed on live television. 
“Are you okay, Sweetspark? You look like your processor is about to crash.” Elita-1 was beside him in a second. Optimus had taken center stage at some point, answering the humans’ questions and concerns. Megatron reset his voice box. 
“Yes, Elita. I just need to sit. Must be something in the air.”
“But you don’t breathe .” 
----
(if you liked this you should follow me on twitter and ao3 :D )
*also i made Shockwave his go-to person because Shockwave, as far as we know it, is the only Decepticon who worked with him. Others considered it, like the seeker girlies, but Shockwave actually worked with him and they got along in the finale. I want to expand more on his and Shockwave’s relationship*

meant to finish this aaaaages ago for @them4ng0 based on their art here and here!
no warnings, just cute fluff uwu enjoy!
“This is going to be a wonderfully bad idea.”
“Nonsense, Megatron!” Optimist Prime said cheerfully. It was closing in on fall and the air was crisp. It was Megatron’s favorite season in this part of the continent. Optimus’ engine rumbled as he shifted gears, slowing down as he turned off the main road and Megatron followed. “The younglings deserve to have a treat, and the Terrans can’t share with Morgan and Robbie.”
“So you want to be the one to give newsparks candy?” Megatron asked, following above and behind the truck.
“Of course! Wheeljack made this batch specifically for them, I’m not not going to give it to them.”
“Then you get to deal with the hyped up fledgling and her equally tiring siblings.”
“I’m sure it won’t be that bad, have a little faith,” Optimus had to slow to a near crawl to go down the driveway of the Maltos and Megatron was once again thankful he was capable of flight as he watched Optimus’ chassis rattle and bounce. “They’re only younglings.”
“Famous last words,” Megatron muttered as the Malto farm came into view. He spotted Twitch’s excited waving before he heard Mo’s scream of joy.
“Mister Optimus!”
Megatron had manners, and so lowered himself on his landing gears before transforming. Human architecture was so fragile in that regard, and from what Dorothy had told him her house was old. And therefore even more fragile than typical human homes.
“Hi, Megatron!”
Megatron kneeled to greet the human children, lowering his hand for Mo to trustingly leap on, “Hello, Mo.”
“Are you guys here to wish me a happy three-fourths birthday?” She asked with a bright gapped-toothed grin, hair bouncing as she settled.
Chuckling, Megatron shook his head. “No, I’m afraid not. But happy three and a quarter birthday.”
“Thanks!” Mo sat cross legged in his hand as he stood again. He was no longer afraid of handling the humans, but when it came to Dorothy’s children Megatron tended to take extra care. Fearless as they were, they were just as breakable. “Sooooo… whatcha dooooooin’?”
Megatron felt a spark of mischief and smiled down at Mo. “Optimus has candy for your siblings,” he whispered, feeling his smile widen at her gasp of surprised glee.
“Optimus has CANDY?!” She nearly shrieked, and Megatron watched as the terrans all paused, then started shouting at once, rushing poor Optimus to tug at his armor.
He started laughing as Optimus yelped in shock, trying to walk forward even as he was swarmed. “Megatron!”
“What?” Megatron replied, trying to choke back his laughter. Mo was a giggling lump in his hand. “I didn’t do anything!”
“I was-,” Optimus cut himself off with another yelp, wobbling in the air on one foot as Hashtag scaled his back and Jawbreaker hung off his arm. “I was going to give it to them later.”
“Oops.” He was completely unrepent.
“Alright, alright,” Optimus said loudly, scruffing Thrash from where he was inching up Optimus’ arm. With his free hand he reached into his subspace and pulled out the box of goodies, immediately having to raise it high above his head to avoid all the younglings making a desperate lunge for it. “One at a time!”
Megatron had made his way over by the barn at this point and it suddenly occurred to him as he watched Twitch’s pupils dilate to three times their normal size that they probably should have gotten Dorothy’s permission to give her children candy. It was too late by this point, and Megatron just settled in to watch the show.
Many hours, and an empty energon goodie container later, and Megatron was covered in passed out Terrans after helping Optimus chase them down on their ‘sugar high’. Thrash was limp on his head, little fingers having dug into the edge of the plating to hang on. Jawbreaker was snoring faintly against his chassis, arms down by his sides and settled against Megatron’s hip. His other arm was occupied with Hashtag, who was somehow still awake and groaning faintly with every step he took. “It’s your own fault,” he had informed her when she had complained of a stomach ache.
Glancing back at Optimus showed that he was only in a better position than him because he was carrying less. Nightshade had been all but thrown over Optimus’ shoulder while Twitch drooled on his other arm, all but curled up in his hand.
They were all so young it was almost painful.
“I think they’re all finally asleep,” Optimus whispered, clearly afraid of waking them all back up.
“Good. I’m blaming you for this,” Megatron said as he stepped carefully over a fallen log, trying not to drop the children in his arms.
“What? You’re the one who-”
“I did no such thing,” he said through a snicker, relaxing as the Malto farm came into view. “You have no proof that I did anything. Meanwhile…”
He knew the moment that Optimus saw Dorothy, the heavy steps behind him pausing before reluctantly starting up again. “You’re the one who gave her children candy.”
“Traitor,” Optimus muttered and Megatron smiled at Twitch when Optimus passed him.
“I can live with that.”

Megop week 2023
June 13th, Day 3
Marriage
Hashtag wants to make a classic romance scene with Megatron and Optimus. A nice gesture, though it helps to learn a bit about how Megatron and Optimus really got married.
The Malto property never had a dull day anymore. Or rather, their time in Witwicky never once began with a boring day. Currently, the Malto children dashed around their open property. Dot and Alex were out of town for Alex’s work conference, and it just so happened, the two had the best possible babysitters at their disposal.
And so, here Optimus and Megatron were, out in the front yard keeping careful eyes on all eight of the Malto siblings. Some were easier to handle than others, others, well, it was nice to have something like a challenge.
“Im gonna get you!!!” Twitch yelled out, following Jawbreaker and Thrash in a high-stakes game of tag. Thrash yelled back while Jawbreaker laugh. “Catch up then!!” In the next moment, Thrash turned to his bike form, dodging an upcoming tree branch. Jawbreaker was not so lucky running straight into the branch and stalling. At the same time, Twitch found her own difficulty trying to slow down before she accidentally crashed right into her brother. Luckily, such a disaster did not happen, as Megatron pulled Twitch away carefully, while Prime placed a large metal hand over Jawbreaker's form. Megatron sighed, placing Twitch down gently. “Little bird, be careful. You almost hit your brother” while Prime tended to the other. “And Jawbreaker, please, be mindful of where you're going.” The two terrans were set away from the area of the incident, already off to play again. Twitch hugged Megatron to the best of her ability, “Thanks Megatron!” “Yeah! Thanks, Grandpa Prime!” Jawbreaker called out. Optimus looked incredulously at that comment. “Grandpa?” Not that he minded holding such a position of safety for the young terran, but still, he wasn't that old, was he? Megatron couldn't help but smirk, “I believe you heard the terran correctly.” oh he would certainly revel in this. “Grandpa Megatron! Grandpa Megatron!” Two feminine voices called to them. Megatron’s eyes widened, and it was Optimus’ turn to snicker as the helicopter was given a taste of his own medicine. Megatron sneered, before recovering and speaking to the girls. “Yes, Morgan? Hashtag?” Mo spoke up first, “Me and Hashtag wanna make a movie, and um, we were wondering–” Hashtag’s enthusiasm boiled over as she interrupted, hopping on her pedes. “Can you both be in it, please? Please? Pplleeaassee?” She held up her little gifted necklace from Jawbreaker, catching a single frame of the two sitting there, “You guys would be perfect for the lead roles!”
Optimus couldn't help but chuckle, “Of course Hashtag. I always thought I had a certain movie star charm.” He smiled, electing another eye-roll from Megatron, and a round of giggles from the girls. Megatron spoke soon enough, voicing his own agreement. “Sure thing, young ones. What exactly sort of movie are you making?” Hashtag excitedly answered, “A romance movie! Eee Im so excited!!!” She smiled, as both she and Mo ran off to start preparing their set.
Megatron and Optimus only stared in surprise they were chosen for such a project. Megatron soon enough smirked, bumping Optimus’ shoulder. “Well then, let's get going movie star.” Before he stood and followed after the girls. 
Optimus stayed seated for a moment, cheeks blushing over. A goofy smile crossed his face as he followed after them.
Hashtag came up near the backside of the barn, all covered in little decorations here and there. Nightshade sat quietly, having volunteered to draw up backgrounds and make the decorations. They were halfway through sprucing up a small bouquet when they called out, “Ah! There are the stars!���
Hashtag smiled back as Optimus and Megatron stopped infront of the set. “Yup! You guys know how weddings work, right?” Optimus answered, “Well yes, uh . . . is this already meant to be a wedding alter?” He tilted his head. Mo spoke up soon after, “We didn't wanna get bored waiting for the big wedding scene.”
Nightshade stood up, now holding the bouquet to hand to Optimus. Optimus smiled, taking it up gently. “Thank you.” Megatron spoke up soon enough, “This is a human wedding, isn't it?” suddenly he wasn't so cheery about the scene. Not that he didn't want to participate for the children's sake, but rather, it got him thinking about things of the past. Hashtag didn't seem to want to wait around. “Okay! Okay! C'mon, let's get to places!!” Despite her hope, it didn't really seem that she learned much about the finer notes of filmmaking, rushing everything. She moved Mo gently to position while waving for Optimus and Megatron to stand at the altar. Hashtag stepped back, raising her camera, one Alex bought for her after the first incident. She spoke up, “Okay! So Mo’s gonna say a few words, and then when she looks at either one of you, all you have to say is I do! Got it?” Optimus decided to make a little joke, “I do!” Hashtag only shook her head. “No no, not yet! Uh, anyway, Action!” She said out loud, clicking the camera on. Mo cleared her throat as she began to speak her lines: “Dear Optimus Prime, do you take Megatron to be your awfully–lawfully wedded husband?” 
Optimus glanced for a moment at Hashtag, who simply waved off the line goof. “We can fix that in post!” She gave a thumbs-up for the scene to continue. 
“I do.” He finished. 
Mo then turned her gaze to Megatron. “And do you Megatron, take Optimus Prime to be your lawfully wedded husband?”
Megatron was a bit late. “Oh uh, yes.” His eyes darted back and forth before Hashtag spoke. “CUT!” And soon the techy bot walked forward to her two actors. “Megatron, what was that!?” 
Megatron spoke lightly. “I apologize, Hashtag. I just seemed to be a bit in the clouds. We could go again, hm?” 
Hashtag answered, a bit down. “Do you . . . wanna do the scene?” Her little optics seemed so sad. 
Megatron nodded, “What? Yes yes, of course I do, for you. All of this is something I’m not used to.” He looked around at the decorations and altar set up.
Now, that had left a bit of a confused look on all the kids' faces. Mo tilted her head, walking over to stand next to Hashtag. “Not used to? But you and Grandpa Prime are married, aren’t you?” 
Megatron chuckled again, catching Optimus' own smile, now it was Optimus' turn to chime in. “We are, yes. But the way we did it was a bit different from how humans would get married.” 
Nightshade was next to stand next to their sisters. “How so?” 
Megatron and Optimus looked at each other, kneeling down to be a bit closer to the kids as they explained. 
“Well instead of it being called a wedding, we went through something called the Conjunx Ritus. It was a tradition we brought from Cybertron.”
Megatron added, “And instead of calling each other wives or husbands, we would call each other conjunx endura.”
Nightshade reacted with joy at the new knowledge. “Conjunx Endura? What a fun title!” 
Hashtag chimes in, “So-so what would you guys do?”
Optimus tapped his chin gently. “Well, there were four parts to it.”
And after a quick explanation, an idea began brewing in Hashtag's helm. 
**The Act of Intimacy**
Hashtag angled the camera just a bit too close to Megatron and Optimus's faces as she yelled from behind the camera. “Now kiss!”
Optimus spoke gently. “Hashtag, it doesn't necessarily need to be a kiss. It could just be a hug or hand holding–” his words quickly evaporated as Megatron leaned in and placed a quick kiss right on the cheek. The kids behind the camera giggled once it happened, and harder after Optimus; mask snapped closed from the sheer surprise. Megatron let out his own chuckle as he redirected the moment. ”Alright alright, onto the next rite.”
**The Act of Disclosure** Megatron spoke candidly to the camera, though a bit wishy-washy about the subject. “I once uh . . .” Hashtag spoke up from behind the camera, “Go on!” Megatron shifted trying again. “I once . . . sat on the Lincoln Memorial.” A brief silence overtook the group as Megatron reinforced his sentence. “I took off the Lincoln statue itself and I sat on the memorial.” Optimus soon poked his head into the frame waving around an old picture. “It's true! Here’s the proof!” Megatron reached out frantically, “Prime you give that back or so help me—!!!” —
**The Act of Proff–Preff- The Act of Gift Giving**
Optimus examined the toy axe in his hands carefully, finials lowering for a moment in confusion. “The one Megatron initially gave me was, uh, much bigger than this.” He squished it gently in his servos, producing an EEP EEP sound. He looked towards the camera. “And it uh, certainly didn't squeak like this either.”
Nightshade’s voice piped up, “It's kind of all we can work with right now.” Optimus nodded, “Oh well then.” he smiled again at the camera, squeaking the axe again. “I love it.” EEP EEP !
— **The Act of Selflessness**
Mo tilted her head a bit rotating the camera from her face to Optimus and Megatron. “Im, um, not really sure how to film this one.”
Hashtag’s voice called out, grabbing their attention. “I got this!!!” And soon enough, in her van form, Hashtag sped up, aiming to crash right into Optimus Prime’s leg, before Megatron moved him backward from the collision.
All joking in the moment as Optimus let out a soft laugh. Soon enough, the red and blue autobot looked up to see Nightshade swooping down near Megatron’s head. “Duck!” He spoke, pushing Megatron’s helm down so Nightshade wouldn't have their own crash landing. Down on the ground, Hashtag transformed back into her robot mode and cheered. “Woohoo!! See? You guys *selflessly* protected each other!” She took the camera gently from her sister and aimed it at their faces once more. “I now pronounce you Conjunx Endura!”  
The kids cheer behind the camera, Megatron moving to wrap an arm around Optimus, bumping each other's helms close. Hashtag spoke up again, a bit more meek. “Was that-was that good?” Optimus spoke sincerely, “That was perfect. Just like reliving our actual ritus.” “Really?!” “Hmm. More or less.”

its MY blog! I WANNA clip the ground breaking tf character scene (<- not impling i think this is the ONLY one)
[VD: Transformers Earthspark clip of Mo and Nightshade Malto speaking with Optimus.
Intro to a gas station, a bag of goods dropped onto an outdoor table. Mo draws a face on a soda can, Nightshade watching. Optimus drops a six pack of glass bottle among other cups and wrappers to make a moveable planning "map": This is Mandroid's lair. And these piece represent all of us.
Shot of the Malto's leaning forward intently. Mo, Robby and Twitch sitting around the same table, Alex sitting hunched at an adjacent one, Thrash, due to size, sits on a third.
Nightshade, excitely, pointing to an owl figure infront of them: Oh may I be the bobblehead?
Optimus: Of course! Um, Morgan, can you switch... uh?
Nightshade's makes a considering face, eyes glowing, Mo looks to them, sound effect incating the commincation of emotion. Nightshade looks to her, Mo nods.
Mo: Nightshade's pronouns are they/them. [Mo smiles]
Nightshade nodding: He or she just doesn't fit who I am. [They shrug]
Optimus, sincerely: My apologies, please switch their piece [He nods his head]
Mo and Nightshade look around, pleased, and smile at each other. END

So Transformers Earth Spark Episode 1 got leaked a little early, and I gotta say, this is going to be a riot.
-It’s corny and cheesy, what’d you’d expect from a kid’s show.
-Animation is super clean.
-Elita-1 is a menace. I love her.
-Optimus Prime is done with everything, and I love him.
-Twitch and Thrash are fucking adorable!
-Voice acting’s not that bad. A little awkward in some places, but not that bad. Also, Alan Tudyk is doing a great job with Optimus.
-The Malto family really feels like a family, and it’s nice. Alex Malto is so sweet and such a nerd. Dot Malto is a sweet and responsible mom. Robby will take some time to grow on me, but I feel for him. Moving to a new place without much of a say can be hard. Change is hard, but it’s very clear that he cares for his sister. He’s just trying to adjust to change. Morgan “Mo” Malto is such a cute menace, and I don’t want jack shit happening to her! I also really enjoy the sibling dynamic. I’m just really enjoying this family.
-We still don’t know much about our antagonists, so I won’t say much about them. I can’t say much about GHOST either, other than the fact that they’re dicks for lying to Dot.
-The G1 animation was a nice touch. I’m interested in seeing how the Transformers have integrated on Earth.
Some dialogue that really threw me for a loop and caused me to pause to laugh:
“That’s how scary movies start.”
“Did I change into vehicle mode?! I feel so...minivan!”
“I got this you guys!” “Okay. Buh-Bye. Thanks.”
“OP’s having...a day.” “Which continues.”
This is fun. This is going to be a fun show. Please watch it.

THE SALT I HAVE!
I finally got into that Nickelodeon Earthspark page just to see Bumblebee's expanded bio, but it's EMPTY! Like he's the only character listed in the cast with NO BIO! CMOOOOON! DHBFGHGBF
UPD: Other bio look very interesting, they put some crucial details that can make a very interesting writing... I'm sad there is no Bee info. I guess I have to stick to only a little thing I know, that he's nervous about being a mentor and afraid to show cracks.
Gonna copy bios here, just in case bc their site is a pain to get to.
ROBBY MALTO
Robby Malto is a 13-year-old boy who begins our story in a grouchy headspace, frustrated by his family’s recent move from his hometown of Philadelphia to the remote, sleepy town of Witwicky. While he’s proud of his African-American/Filipino-American heritage, he’s not thrilled with his parents. When he and his younger sister, Mo, witness the birth of new Terran Transformers and decide to bring them home, the excitement snaps Robby out of his funk. It’s one thing to read about Transformers bots in his Dad’s history books, but it's another to meet one in real life! Robby’s a smart kid with an abundance of moxie, so he tends to rush into things, and his charisma inspires others to follow (with mixed results). Robby’s intentions are always good, even when nudging others beyond their comfort zone.
MORGAN “MO” MALTO
Mo (Morgan) Malto is Robby’s 9-year-old younger sister. Though she’s emotionally mature for her age, she’s able to look at everything with a wide-eyed sense of optimism and hope. Mo’s infinite well of positivity is a gift and a curse because she always wants everyone to get along. She feels responsible for managing the family’s happy coexistence. Mo takes great pride in her self-appointed role as ice-breaker/friendship-enforcer/harmonizer. She may be smaller than her new robot siblings, but Mo feels like their big sister. For her, family comes first no matter who you are or where you’re from.
TWITCH
Twitch is a Terran, one of the first earthborn Transformers bots, and a driven competitor. Like her brother, Thrash, she was born out of cave water. She’s a keen observer of everything around her. While she’s bonded to both Mo and Robby, she and Robby are two peas in a pod. Her high-octane brain is always working as she analyzes situations and sorts out plans of action, positioning her to become a leader within her sibling group. When her drive for victory combines with her palpable confidence, Twitch’s attitude can be misinterpreted as arrogant or pushy. She always means well, though. It’s not her fault she’s a high achiever who wants to be the best! Twitch’s alt-mode is a flying drone.
THRASH
Thrash is Terran, one of the first earthborn Transformers bots, and a cheeky wild child. Like his sister, Twitch, he was born out of cave water in the caves of Witwicky. He’s a bringer of fun and good times with a happy-go-lucky attitude. While he’s bonded to both Mo and Robby, he and Mo are partners-in-crime. He doesn’t mind a little mud on his wheels because he couldn’t care less about what others think of him. Pure impulse, he’s a good-hearted rebel and questions all the rules restricting his everyday life. You can rely on Thrash to be the first one in battle and the first one to make a joke. Thrash isn’t rude, he’s just testing every limit. Thrash’s alt-mode is a motorcycle with a side car.
OPTIMUS PRIME
Optimus Prime is a legend among the Autobots and Decepticons. The charismatic leader of the Autobots, complete with the ability to speak magnitudes with a raised brow. Optimus Prime is a courageous Autobot leader who has forged a new alliance with humans. The birth of the Terrans has given him renewed hope for the future. He’s partnered up with the underground organization, G.H.O.S.T., to help round up dangerous Decepticons and make Earth a safer place for all. Optimus Prime has put 100% of his trust in the organization but does that trust go both ways? Optimus Prime’s alt-mode is a semi truck.
ELITA- 1
Elita-1 makes being tough look easy. She’s the physically gifted, confident, second-in-command of the Autobots. Elita-1 is fair and never overbearing to the team. She listens to everyone and is a bot the Terrans look up to. She excels at coming up with clever plans to catch ‘Cons, but Elita-1 doesn’t mind if things go sideways. Plus, she gets to improvise. She’s a hard bot to keep up with in the field! Elita-1’s alt-mode is a 4-wheel drive all-terrain SUV.
MEGATRON
Megatron believes in making any sacrifice necessary for the survival of Cybertronian civilization. He’s a headstrong idealist, but isn’t unwilling to adjust his strategy when victory hangs in the balance. As one of the most well-known Decepticon figureheads, Megatron is an innate leader who commands any room he is in. His sharp wit, intelligence and clever nature aid him in his goals.
ALEX MALTO
Alex Malto is the father to Robby and Mo, surrogate father to the Terrans and husband to Dot Malto. He’s a college professor with a PhD in Cybertronian History and is extremely passionate about everything he does. He’s a well of information which makes him a great resource for the kids and Terrans. He can also rattle off dad jokes like a pro. Alex is a huge fan of Transformers, so when he meets them, he can be a tad overenthusiastic. Alex loves to share his rich Filipino culture with the kids, especially through cuisine and martial arts.
DOROTHY “DOT” MALTO
Dot (Dorothy) Malto is the mother to Robby and Mo, surrogate mother to the Terrans and wife to Alex Malto. She’s also Witwicky’s newest park ranger…or so she thought. She’s a loving mother and ex-soldier, so she can flip that switch when necessary. She’s very humble about her heroic background and never acts like she’s above anyone. Unconditional love is Dot’s superpower, and it extends to just about everyone in her life, including all the animals and bots under her protection. Optimus Prime is the only person who experiences the cooler side of Dot’s warm personality.
MANDROID
Mandroid (fka Dr. Meridian) was a scientist-soldier in the war, but the fighting left him injured, jaded, and ultimately, very anti-Cybertronian. With this new ideology, he believes Earth and its humans deserve a protector (himself) and surmises the annihilation of all Cybertronians is the best for the planet. However, in order to eliminate all Cybertronian life, he believes he needs to become more like them; a decision which takes a great physical and mental toll. Mandroid’s a twisted villain, though he does have a sense of humor.

okay! After popping last night when the ep was up just to check for canon elle Nightshade (eieie que no pare la fiesta don't stop the party), I finally watched episodes 9 and 10 (listed as 8) proper:
I looove Nova Storm, she sounds cute and deranged, my kinda girl. the other new characters also have nice voices, I posted a clip with Nightshade last night, but will probably post proper samples for all later.
Scholder called Nova Storm and Skywarp twins, so I switched to check in English and yeah, he also calls them that there. Totally missed that the first time.
Another line that had me checking was Alex saying Mo is lucky she's not named Violet when talking about purple being the color of his and Dot's relationship. He also says this in the original, but Mo is named Violet? Her full name is Morgan Violet Malto, right? Dot calls her that in ep 4.
The translation is still weird in some small places, feels rushed and too literal. But after canon elle Nightshade Moisés Velasco (the translator) can do no wrong.
I feel like Jawbreaker could have been called Rompemuelas like the candy in Spanish as Mo keeps the line of the two sharing a name, but ah, no one in this series gets their name localized (except Elita One to Elita Uno I guess).
My elle friends are so happy.
