It’s canon that fliers were almost never scientists and they were made fun of for trying to be scientists. How hard was it for Starscream and Skyfire to become scientists before the war??? This just creates more headcanons for me tbh
For the opening bit in one of the chapters of “Fall of Cybertron”, you get to play from the perspective of one of the regular decepticon troops and let me tell you, it is a gift.
To give an idea what it’s like, this, two vehicon best friends – and that is not hyperbole, one of them actually refers to the other as that in-game – getting caught playing a shooter game when they’re supposed to be on duty is the genuine opening.
I’m such a sucker for the characterisation of regular troops like this. It’s always great to get to see.
It’s just a shame though how this particularly incidence quickly turns so tragic.
I was wondering if there was a difference in the position of the t-cog between grounders and flyers because when MECH took Bee’s t-cog, they took it from his left side…
and when they put it in their bot that they built after studying Breakdown, it was also on the left side…
However, when Starsrceam realizes his t-cog is missing, he holds his right side…
Additionally, after Knouckout replaces Starscream’s t-cog, he and his tools are on the flyer’s right side…
Also since Tf: Rescue Bots is considered part of the Prime-verse, when Blades’ t-cog malfunctions, he looks to the right…
So to conclude, grounders’ are on the left and flyers’ are on the right. Sound good?
Two things I noticed in the Transformers Prime Episode “Con Job”
1. Optimus doesn’t care that Bulkhead doesn’t speak too formally when he told Optimus “that is one thousand percent the real Jackie”. Optimus just takes it as a normal reply.
2. Arcee gives a slight smile when Bulkhead gives Wheeljack a big hug. Given the history she had with partners, she is probably very happy for Bulkhead .
As adorable as breakdown/knockout is, I have a hard time taking it seriously as a ship because I would bet a lot of money that this is exactly what happened
