totally random, but i started watching transformers prime on netflix (actually quite fun!) and like everyone is all “starscream you suck at leading, blah blah blah” but like, chain smoker seeker SIC StarScream totally lead the decepticons for like 3 slagging years?? while Megs was off on his space spiritual journey of procrastination??? and managed to not only continue successfully operating mining of a resource in numerous locations, but did it so well that the autobots literally thought the decepticons had left the planet??
like, how does someone manage to hide the fact that giant robots are going all over the world and sneaking around to loudly dig underground and keep it all from radar detection??? dude, starscream is the shit
megatron: …because i now know the true meaning of oppression, and have thus lost my taste for inflicting it.
starscream [deadpan]: wow. oppression from someone physically stronger than you. i cannot imagine what that’s like.
megatron [actual quote from the COP version of the scene]: utter another sound and i will end you
starscream: WOW. I CANNOT IMAGINE.
Fav part of TFA is when the responsible, good-natured, honest and pure Optimus Prime promises Sentinel he won’t laugh at his predicament, AND THEN HE DOES.
Hey everyone! So as you may know, the TFP tag – the one meant for the entirety of a 65 episode-long show and a 65 minutes movie – is being commandeered by a SINGLE EPISODE of Sherlock.
Haha, no. We were here first. We’re part of a 30+ year-long fandom. We’re being told to change our tag – a tag we’ve had for 6 years. We lost the TFA tag (lbr Star Wars is bigger than anything, including Sherlock), we’re holding onto TFP.
To the Sherlock fans who think we’re being petty: you don’t understand what this series did for Transformers. You don’t understand the impact of one of the most successful Transformers reboots to date. You don’t understand that this series won Emmys – a feat only accomplished before by Beast Wars back in the ‘90s. You don’t understand that TFP was supposed to be a 5 episode miniseries, only to become a grand retelling of characters we’ve come to know and love over the course of 30+ years.
The animators did every episode in three months when it should have taken five. We got Brian fucking Tyler to do the entire TFP score, creating one of the best Transformers themes we’ve heard. It’s had its ups and downs that we’ll gripe about and dig into as much as someone who loathes the series. But as you may know, nobody hates Transformers more than Transformers fans.
So hours upon hours of animation is less important than your 2 hour episode? A single episode? Alright. But remember that post about liking old guys? We’re gonna do it again.
We’re not just going to hijack the TFP tag, we’re gonna stick a flag in it and claim it for the colonization of Cybertron.
Everyone, stay tuned for a half-month TFP Challenge! We’re gonna do this with class.
when your dash fills with sherlock stuff because of the #tfp tag….
The first candle of hanukka!
Happy hanukka everyone! 😁
so…that’s (apparently) something only conjunx endurae do.
and we have kind of a proof for that:
if that’s the case, i would like to direct your attention to this:
now, i’m not saying that proves anything. i’m just saying i’m really glad our huge gay mess of a co-captain finally has his husband back
James Roberts was asked in a Q&A on Twitter a while back what the relationship between Terminus and Megatron is, and he responded that Terminus was like a father figure to Megatron. Might not want to get your hopes up too much on seeing them as conjunx endurae.
Also sort of confirms that sharing energon isn’t something just conjunx endurae do.
So maybe it’s something Cybertronians only do with robots they’re really close to, regardless of the kind of relationship? Maybe it has something to do with transferring energy to a bot that is low on fuel/can’t intake energon on their own (remember how much of a physically weak state Terminus was in when we see Megatron doing this)? Just throwing around ideas.
So exchanging fuel is an act of caring, a type of love, but also rather intimate.
