Prowl: You have the right to remain silent

Hot Rod: I choose to wave that right

Hot Rod: *screams*

Anyone know where I can find this post?

I'm looking for an animation that was previously on here between Jan-Aug in 2023 by the artist formerly known as Vidolf here before the entire blog was deleted in August of 2023.

It was a fully coloured animation of Sunstreaker and it depicted the events surrounding his betrayal of the Autobots in All Hail Megatron. Ironhide, Starscream, and insecticons were present, and it was animated to the #BrooklynBloodPop! song.

I'm pretty sure at least one person reblogged it, though I could be wrong. I've tried searching for it as much as I can. It's a gorgeous short video, if anyone knows where to find it, it would be immensely appreciated.

"average Transformer can hear twice as many sound frequencies as a human" factoid actualy just statistical error. average Transformer hears the same number of sound frequencies as a human. Sound wave, who lives in cave & can literally hear you think, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

this just in: old man doesn’t know how Mute button works

bonus for lust

Perfectly balanced 😇🤍

I made a compilation of cybertron Soundwave because I love him sm, so enjoy haha

An Essay: Trans History and Retcons Regarding IDW1 Arcee and Her Spotlight

As we've slowly learned more and deeply immersed into IDW1 Arcee's writing over the years, finding much more than just kinship to her, we felt this urge to dig further, to understand, feeling threads that were there regarding trans history, but not having much knowledge regarding historical transmedicalism, so we dug. We dug because we wanted to show that Arcee's writing from 2012-2018 not only is a beautiful trans story unique in science fiction, but that her personality there and in part in her Spotlight (which absolutely did not intend trans stuff and walked into a minefield in that regard that inadvertently opened up the opportunity for the writing and consulting team in Phase 2 and Phase 3 to figure out beautiful character arcs for her) are direct successors of the original personality frameworks for G1 Arcees, and to show the impact and legacy of both Sunbow/Marvel and IDW Arcees along with more Arcees combined on many versions of her thereafter.

Here's the introductory paragraph:

In much of the last decade, a lot of people familiar with Transformers’ trans stories appreciate Arcee being trans and her arcs in that regard from 2012 onwards. But during those six years from 2012-2018 where her narratives that firmly navigated her agency as a trans gal were being established by a number of writers, with consulting help in 2015 for Ask Vector Prime and 2018 for IDW1, there was and remains uncertainty over how exactly that works for her, specifically for her comic iteration where her transness was first hinted and then plainly stated. The variety of understandings in this regard in part originates from her introduction to the IDW1 run, Spotlight Arcee, in 2008, which was received rather turbulently because of how it portrayed her gender and transformer gals at large. Writing years after would navigate resolving this rather beautifully as showing Arcee having struggled with transmedicalism, isolation, abandonment, loneliness, and alienation, the brutality of a violent (and androcentric) world, as many trans people across gender and parallel spectrums or lacks thereof have in real life. Her story is done in a wlw trans gal context in particular. She is shown getting closure on all this, finding her happiness by the end of that continuity that would along with her story at large as a sweet, ferocious, outspoken old warrior sage help set the tone for her portrayals afterwards. Much of this overlaps with how she was described in her The Transformers Universe bio all the way back in 1986. In these regards, we (the writer of this is plural, we'll have a note about that near the end) think it is pertinent to take another look at how her story played out, what was actually written and shown vs. what was intended, to navigate transmedicalist history that overlaps with her story, and to show that Arcee’s trans iterations are directly part of the legacy of G1 Arcee overall

also a brief fact check edit regarding HRT:

we said HRT only effects hormones but realized we should fact check that, and apparently for some people HRT does effect their genes!! (this is separate from the discussion of gender journeys and epigenetics which we personally know next to nothing about) this a deeply understudied topic you can read about it here:

Gender-affirming hormone therapy induces specific DNA methylation changes in blood

I'm very salty because Sunstreaker lost to Cyclonus.

I haven't read the entirety of the IDW 2005 continuity, yet, but I've seen bits and pieces of later installments scattered around, and I know for certain that Cyclonus gets good stuff happening to him.

Don't get me started on how people voted for Megatron instead of Blackarachnia. Like, how???? For either of them???

This is for the TF Waterlogged Cat Poll (a.k.a. voting for the most pitiful character) by @pits-of-kaos, if you were wondering what I was talking about.

But, seriously: how??!?!?!?

MEET ME!!

Venice!!

Heheh I'm so silly

Ps..

My favorite color is

YELLOW

So I came to a conclusion

ARCEE 💞

as a Rodimus simp I really really need people to know the ridiculous reason Hot Rod became Rodimus Prime in IDW 2005

"he carried the matrix!" WRONG. he was buttered up into using the name Rodimus Prime before he tripped and fell onto the matrix
