nice to see you could join the party, ratch! (・ω < )
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.
IDW Hot Rod was tiny af so imagine him x Ultra Magnus.
The size diff though. 😉
him x minimus would be SUPER cute though. two tinies!
actually i just really love how nick roche draws faces in general
honestly if your art style gives characters distinctive noses i will die for you
my favorite is starscream’s extra pointy nose…
idc what happens in canon, as far as I’m concerned, there was just enough energy in the teleporter thingy for one more trip, Megatron takes it and proceeds to give Rodimus and Minimus a ten minutes long crushing hug because he was so terrified of losing them
does anybody else really want to see

?

look at that little green bean… trying to pretend he’s not at all insulted…
don’t worry minimus… you’ll get better at pep talks eventually…
seriously though Rodimus, why do you have to be so mean to him…
some sad looking robots ‘cause i finished reading #54 and i’m not okay.
