transformers who turn into helicopters spinning their rotors when they’re happy is good, transformers who turn into cars making car alarm noises when they’re taken off guard is great, but what i’m really all about it transformers who turn into jets who have thrusters in their heels getting excited and accidentally melting the floor
Thank you for pointing that out! I must admit, at first I though that his eyes were completely red, without irises, LOL. I noticed like… the second time that I watched the season? ACTUALLY, even if I don’t think that Dragstrip has poor eyesight, this would work as a interesting headcanon. I mean… just imagine him being angry all time with his fellow stunticons due misundertandings provoqued by this little problem.

I know that usually, unless Shockwave is involved, “aligned” continuity Transformers/Cybertronians are born
from the Well of AllSparks
fully functional and adult-sized. There is no procreation and no physical growing up.
But Transformers do acknowledge differences between young and old, which are based on
time spent alive and
life experiences, and it’s normal for them to have mentors and students.
Since they can also form relationships like friendships, analogies to human families, and even feel love, I guess loving couples could technically just loiter around the Well of Allsparks until it creates someone they can adopt?
So optronixes has been busily decoding the Cybertronian glyphs of Transformers Prime.
And in doing so – discovered something amazing.
Bumblebee’s Cybertronian name isn’t Bumblebee.
It’s just Bumble.
We know this isn’t a character limit thing, because Bulkhead’s name is written out in full.
Which means the ‘Bee suffix was added after coming to Earth.
And now I’m imagining shortly after the original four’s arrival, Bumble doing recon on humans, as would be his scoutly duty to do so, and seeing them flee and flinch warily from tiny, yellow and black creatures, even when it’s just one. He brought it up to Ratchet, who then took it upon himself to research it (cursing and grumbling at human tech the entire way), and informing him about all of the small insects that come under the common reference of bees. One of these that he mentions, is of course bumblebees. Upon hearing that, Bumble – already attracted to these little yellow and black creatures that strike terror into the hearts of things much, much bigger than them for fear of their sting – excitedly asks everyone to start calling him Bumblebee.
Ratchet doesn’t have the heart to tell him that bumblebees are considered the mildest and least dangerous of bees.
I bet if optimus could text he would type with proper grammar and correct capitalization and punctuation like, the whole shebang and raf showed him how to use smileys so its like every time anyone gets a ext from OP its a paragraph long formal text but then at the end of every text there’s either a :] or a :[
We find scraplets cute because we are wired to find anything with “baby-ish” proportions cute. I would like to think that the inverse is also true and that Cybertronians find babies nightmarish because they look like scraplets.
Like hanging human baby pictures around is enough to keep the more queasy-stomached Cybertronians away.
But on the flip side some of the bots are into them just like some humans love monstrous designs or horror movies.
TFP Bumblebee has a bit of a baby face, maybe he thinks he’s intimidating because of it?
He changes his appearance sometime before RiD2015 pretty significantly, maybe to make living on Cyberton among his kind again easier? I mean it’s not just a style change between shows, the whole form is different and his head and optics are less round.
No more baby face.
This is interesting but I don’t think the writers thought it through that much.
Walking down a street, need to make a turn and you slow down but there’s like a dozen others behind you trying to squeeze past because they don’t know what the fuck you’re doing?
No worries, just turn on your left butt cheek blinker ahead of time and make that turn without causing an accident!
Like, seriously, this is a good idea. Seekers can have them on their wingtips or something, but everyone should have a set of butt blinkers so they can signal turning.
How's it hummin'?
