“how would it work if Cybertronians had disabilities” “What if there were disabled Cybertronians”

THERE ARE

loosing my mind at how some things that are So good can be So niche why can’t we just be a hivemind

Just one example, my favorite example, is:

Shattered Glass Soundwave!!!

He’s gone through Multiple reformats varying between with his consent and,,, not. The latest of which took place when they didn’t have many materials

So they used half earth metals half Cybertronian ones

As it turns out? Those two things don’t mix very well. His joints are Horrible. They lock up randomly, the worst of which being the door to his tape deck.

He physically isn’t able to dock his cassettes reliably because they might get stuck in there.

What does he do to fix this? So glad you asked!! He has his own assistive aids, in this case: a portable external carrying case

It was made and personalized to work specifically for him and his situation

I love him

Shockwave!

Send Me a Character

And I will tell you my:

First impression

this dude is adorable. i feel like hes one of the only decepticons who actually wants to be here.

Impression now

^i was right!

my favorite shockwaves are the ones who are really loyal decepticons (g1 is a star, but tfa is a fun runner up) though hes also really fucking funny when he just wants to beat the tar out of megatron (marvel shockwave is suuuch a mess)

g1 is also the cutest. i like his design sooo much. look at him and tell me he isnt perfect

Favorite moment

well, whatever this was.

also this scene in last stand of the wreckers where the dude pulls this fucking pose? he thinks hes sooo cool.

Idea for a story

oh. i dunno. id like to give him a backstory, i think. (see the headcanon section i guess)

its a shame that hes written as this remorseless machine so often...def a holdover from marvel i guess? i wanna see him as someone who strives to be cold and clinical bc he just wants to command respect, as someone whos looked over a lot. he puts a high premium on intelligence, but its kind of just a crutch bc he cant, um, connect with people. im psychoanalysing the robot

Unpopular opinion

umm well yeah i guess i dont like cold calculating sw as much...now that i think about it, i wonder if its so popular bc he doesnt have a face? that sucks

also why does everyone think tfa shockwave is sexy. remember that time lugnut like threw him across the room bc they were fangirling over megatron. remember.

Favorite relationship

i think he really looks up to megs. hes a really loyal guy. i hc him as having sorta a shaky friendship with starscream...he hates that he keeps trying to kill their boss, but stars still a good scientist. real recognizes real.

he and soundwave are the most normal members of command. i think they bond over this.

u can read these as shippy, i guess it can go either way

oh. shockwave/wheeljack...my pet crackship...theyre mad scientists, but in entirely different directions.

Favorite headcanon

shockwave was an archival bot before the decepticons. hes basically a large data slug, its one reason megs wanted him to stay on cybertron. in his downtime, he likes to sift through and organize information. hes really interested in earths culture! he likes to listen to soundwave ramble about underground music.

#i have so many shockwave thoughts. in my tiny brain #thanks for the aaaask #shockwave #g1 #mostly
