Sometimes, I have the impression that Team Prime didn't respect Optimus simply on a formal structural basis. There was always a concoction of that and adoration in the air. As if, you know, he's half a saint.

I suppose it came down to a combination of Optimus' own person and his position in the Cybertronian State (an society). We all know Primes can never be a wholly secular governmental position, and Optimus' strength, the Matrix, and presentation of himself enforce that religious, messianic image.

PS: I think I have something brewing in the drafts relating to this, but I don't know when it'll be published. Asap, hopefully.

Taking another shot at Animated Knock Out. I feel like it’d be fun if he were to interact with Team Prime for a while, before going full-time Con.

I love how Bulkhead has patiently assumed the role of "I must physically hold back the Cee Bee Siblings whenever their rage overcomes them"

They're mad for such good reasons, too.... If Bulkhead hadn't been there to assist...bad, bad things would have gone down on both accounts. Bonus: Ratchet

Look at Bulkhead being a physical barrier between Ratchet, who's furious, and Optimus, whom Ratchet is furiously confronting, while also stepping in front of Arcee in particular, keeping her a good distance away from any wayward punches that might be thrown. Good job, Bulk. He's very patient, very collected. I wonder how many fights he had to break up between the Wreckers. He's definitely practiced.

So in light of recent bots getting freaked out by human bodies (hilarious btw thank you for those 😂), one idea popped into my head. So I have a "Dad sneeze" (as a 17 year old female this amuses my dad to no end) that sounds like I'm getting stabbed. Miko has this as well and will lie in wait for the perfect opportunity to get the bots to jump. The bots will never know peace ever again

That's hilarious as a concept. YOINKING it thank you.

Sneezing is a thing for Cybertronians, in a sense at any rate. They are capable of blowing air out of their vents harshly to clear debris and reset their systems. They are used to their own kind making such sounds. But the squishies? Nah that's TERRIFYING.

Miko figured out the bots get scared of humans sneezing when Rafael had several sneezes in short succession. She watched as Bulkhead tripped and fell in his panic. Arcee skidded a bit on her wheels. Bumblebee's door wings perked right up and his optics cycled wide in terror. Ratchet cursed and dropped his tools. Optimus keyboard smashed hard. Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus were in the middle of an argument at the time and immediately slipped up and halted, their respective horns blaring.

Miko learned, and through this, she thought it would be even more hilarious if the sneeze performed was even louder. Thus her scheme was formed. Her sneezes are loud and aggressive, the team do not know this. As such, it wasn't hard to wait until the team were doing a weekly debrief, and upon feeling a sneeze coming up, allow it to run its course.

Sounding like a gunshot, Miko's sneeze sent the entire team into various states of alarm. Optimus puffed up like a cat, his plating flaring and his finials snapping up. Ratchet jolted so harshly that he looked ready to duck and cover. Bulkhead and Wheeljack both dove for cover, uncaring of grace. Ultra Magnus threw whatever he was holding in Miko's direction, which she barely missed being squished by. Bumblebee and Smokescreen made various noises, Smokescreen squealing and Bee dipping into frantic whirls. Arcee froze up like a deer in the headlights.

Despite the danger, it was a win in Miko's book even if it resulted in a dent in the wall from Ultra Magnus's gut reaction.

Can we talk about how TFP Arcee has a catchphrase, just Ratchet's "I needed that," "yep yep, yep," and "puh-lease!" Shockwave's "Logic" and Knockout's obsession with "luster" and his finish?

Like, am I wrong that Arcee constantly saying "it could be a trap" is a running joke? I feel like no one talks about that, which makes me sad because it's hilarious.

They even acknowledge it (I forget what episode, not gonna lie) when Arcee goes: "I know, I know, broken record, but...it COULD be a trap."

I just freaking love how Arcee thinks literally everything is a trap. And it's so justified, because 99% of the time, she's right.

#My poor child she is traumatized #But also she's the only member of Team Prime with braincells sometimes #She's like: It could be a trap #And Optimus is like: So true bestie let's go anyway #And then it's a trap #Like don't say she didn't warn you #tfp #transformers prime #transformers #tfp arcee #tfp ratchet #tfp knockout #tfp shockwave #tf #tfp analysis

Lowkey, I think one of my favorite little things about Rescue Bots is how we get to learn a little more about Optimus when he shows up. Like, not war stuff or Orion Pax stuff, but just little things about Optimus.

One of his favorite Earth stories is The Little Engine That Could. Does he read in his spare time and if so, how did he find Little Engine?

He tells Heatwave that he has also been learning from humans. What has he learned? The phrase "Nothing much, double dutch." Who the fuck taught him that? My money's on Miko. Jack would not have the audacity to add that to Prime's vernacular.

He has a motherfuckin' rocket powered car carrier capable of hauling four bots. And since Team Prime had four four-wheelers on the team prior to Darkness Rising, you could reasonably assume that he has used it with Cliff, Bee, Bulk, and Ratch

Optimus knows what a pogo stick is. That isn't anything noteworthy, I just think it's funny.

#transformers #rescue bots #tfp #optimus prime #rescue bots is so funny in the context of tfp and the greater aligned continuity #dinosaurs are still alive and optimus could turn into one prior to getting blown up with the base #optimus and bumblebee have canonically traveled to the past and to an alternate timeline #mech spent so long trying to build their own transformer only for some semi immortal dickhead to do it on his own with relative ease #triple and *quadruple* changers are canon to the aligned continuity #bumblebee almost succumbed to an alien pathogen and optimus (and maybe ratchet) was the only one who knew #shrink ray technology is canon and it was never used on the decepticons #team prime probably thought they were the last of the autobots but optimus and bee knew at least *nine* other bots on earth #eight if you don't want to count servo #but why wouldn't you count him?#optimus has driven across the sea floor after dramatically declaring he doesn't need a boat #laserbeak canonically becomes an autobot at the end of rescue bots academy

It's once again a nighttime and I'm once again here with scene/character analysis.

As it's prominent from the last few post I'm a quite Ultra Magnus enjoyer, and I'm very upset at how people see him as heartless nerd. I see him as a person very damaged by the war. So here's some of my thoughts.

Ultra Magnus has a great problems with fitting in, because he forgot how to be in this kind of relationship and it's just depressing. For at least a century he has been in a war that took all his time for friends and especially family. And part of me thinks it is because Ultra Magnus is used to communication with orders. In "Evolution" we can see how he really tries to start a conversation, but all he knows now is orders and missions. And the next problem with him is he doesn't belong. He doesn't know what a family is, Wheeljack sends very clear messages that he is not welcomed to the Wreckers. Magnus felt completely isolated and this inability to make deeper connections than commander-soldier doesn't let him comprehend familial relationships. And I have some proofs.

The most important one is this line.

"The members of team prime are not cogs in a machine."

Why would Optimus use this particular line? It felt very meaningful and even as a non-english speaker, I felt it was very important for Ultra Magnus' character. So I went to Internet for the answer and I found this..

This one line opened a lot abt my boy. UM considers himself and team Prime through this war prism. "You are important,but we know how war is. Everyone can't survive. Sometimes you have to sacrifice something for a better outcome. Magnus doesn't think he's better than the rest of Team Prime, quite contrary, he holds himself by the same standards. I think Ultra Magnus sees himself as this metaphorical cog in a machine. He is important now, but if he isn't important in great scheme of things. This sounds like a very army type of mentality. He's prepared to die for a mission and sees little value in himself apart from weaponry and missions. So when Predaking had him and Wheeljack cornered he accepted it fairly quickly, yet was saddened with a thought of joining the allspark, especially with Wheeljack, whom he is to protect as his subordinate.

After Ultra Magnus wakes up, he's met with a lot of pleasant developments. Now he is fully accepted, Team Prime is by his side, and even Wheeljack drops this very meaningful line "Magnus fought like a wrecker"(=you're accepted in our group). And after finally asking OP about what was a Team Prime, he found out about a new concept, that basically breaks all his perceptions.

Family.

It isn't the army, or the elite guard where you are easily replaceable and aren't important. Now Ultra Magnus is family. And, forgive me for cliché, but you can't replace a family. They all are accepting each other and won't willingy leave someone behind for a brighter future.

I think if Ultra Magnus had more screen time his arc would be about relearning to care/connect in a deeper way and finding your own and others' importance, showcasing hardships of a soldier, trying to become more relaxed and closer to a people he knows and loves.

Or mb I just overanalyze one line¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(Also UM and OP have this so sweet bond. Former is, being as socially awkward as he is, still being honest about his feelings and asking smt he doesn't understand. And Optimus completely trusts his lieutenant with the team family and is able to see when the other's uncomfortable/sad. I dunno, they're so brothers/friends. They're very close without having much interactions on screen.)

thinking abt how if heatwave had agreed to join optimus' team his third form would probably have ended up being a jet or another aerial vehicle. like he scanned the boat bc it was there when they needed to get out of a tight spot, but since nevada is in the middle of nowhere and a boat would be super weird there he would have needed to scan a flying thing to get out of a bad place.

anyways that would be so funny also team prime would probably be like "wtf wtf how did he do that. optimus. how did he do that triple changers don't exist anymore." and then someone would say "neither do rescue bots" and they would kinda shrug and nod and accept that yeah this is weird but so is everything they know about heatwave.

the decepticons would respect that and also be VERY confused. i think they would kinda be like "ah yes he has realized flight is superior to driving! gave up his alt mode for it-- wait wtf how is he still driving now he was just a jet. wait a damn minute he's a triple changer how did we not know this" and the next time an autobot is captured decepticon high command all shows up and starts asking questions. shockwave wants to experiment on him and the others just want to know when this happened. also how. how would be nice to know.

MECH all of a sudden has a new target. don't worry they cross him off when they realize how easy heatwave is to aggravate and also how willing he is to act on said aggression. they're kinda like "c'mon this guy is an autobot how bad can-- GET DOWN HES SHOOTING. ok. so let's leave him alone." and then they do.

Every autobot in tfp. Optimus, arcee, bulkhead, Ratchet, wheeljack: terrible child endangerment constantly. bumblebee is excluded because he is the child being forced to commit warcrimes. But also terrible petsitters for the humans. Just leave them at home at this rate it's safer.

They do suffer from having to tote around viewpoint characters, but I will include Team Prime given some of their more questionable guardian decisions.

Especially the "Miko gets war trauma" episode with Wheeljack.

Shockwave, upgrading Megatron: Now, most sparks couldn’t withstand this voltage, but i’m fairly certain your spark… Shockwave: *performs counter-shock, Megatron’s spark explodes* Megatron: What was that noise? Shockwave, hiding exploded spark: The sound of progress, my liege.

nobody talks about the inherent tragedy of tfp optimus’ character and i want to know why

#all he wanted was rest #he fought and fought and fought to let his team be safe and his sacrifice didn’t even mean anything more than cybertron being alive #he sacrificed everything only for it to mean nothing #this poor man #i just wanna hold him #is this anything #transformers #maccadam #tfp #transformers prime #maccadams #maccaddam #optimus prime #tfp transformers prime #tfp optimus prime #tf

@lolathepeacocklord He has! ✨ You are correct.

Tags from (this post)

The level of trust between Team Prime is so good...not only is Arcee totally cool with Bulkhead doing this at all, but also, here, she's the one who suggests this strategy; and Bulkhead responds so quickly—with nary a word—that you know this isn't the first time they've tried this.
