I don’t like the concept of “Cybertronians immediately can speak English upon first contact with Earth” and I’ve got some thoughts in my G1-based fic universe about the slow-going initial communications between the bots and the Witwickys when they don’t have a common language. Cybertronians adapt quickly though, and by the time the “Season 2” bots arrive, they’ve made a translation guide so that everyone else can get up to speed super quick

but anyway I’m thinking about how I’ve just decided right now that the Cybertronian language doesn’t have contractions. early on they think they’re getting the hang of it

then Spike says “y’all’d’ve” and Prowl starts to cry

our language doesn’t have contractions like that either. prowl is me.

fun facts!

in Hebrew “sun” has two words: “חמה”(Hama) which is female and the more common “שמש” (Shemesh) which is the only Hebrew word that is both male & female.

“moon” also has two words: “לבנה” (Levana) which is female and “ירח” (Yareh) which is male.

my point is the sun is nonbinary that sometimes identifies as female & the moon is genderfluid.

Unpopular question but why do some writers really hate Rodimus and Starscream and treat them almost similarly.?

Jk I think I know the answer.

what IS the answer then? i was wondering the same thing, but i can’t really think of a good reason why… what do you think?

I was thinking it was because that Megatron is an important figure in the franchise and writers love to pay attention to him at the expense of other characters, while a friend said that it’s because ppl hate abuse survivors.

I was pretty close bc those two are commonly intertwined.

good points! i tried to think of a reason myself a while back and the i think it might be because they are both relatively “feminine” (we see that especially in tfp starscream) and tend to use words & strategy rather than just punch anything in their way – which is apparently “cowardly” ans not, you know, common sense.
plus they kinda replace the two “main” characters – optimus prime & Megatron – which annoyed many people.
