maybe you're not good, but you're sure as hell good enough

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

Reblog if you're okay with people coming into your DMs with the "you seem really odd and your blog intrigues me, do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters"

If you didn't already know, Spinister is my favourite Transformers character of all time.

Hes silly, hes canonically stupid, but hes a great surgeon, Cute!

But as much as I love him in MTMTE, hes also got some appearances in Transformers: Galaxies which has left me super curious.

It takes place prior to him joining the Scavengers, where hes working under Shockwave as a splicer (taking parts from living cybertronians to sell; black market).

Not only is he working directly under Shockwave, but he outsmarts Ultra Magnus & captures Chromedome, uses them, and speaks very poetically the whole time.

"He is truly the stupidest person in the universe."

And the thing is, its evident that IS true, hes not what he was before. Its made me super curious as to what happened to him, especially after a deliberate choice from Galaxies (made after MTMTE) to not use the same copy paste version but change things up.

Is he acting and truly the same? Was he hurt badly in battle? Is there some kind of shadowplay occuring? Why of all things was JUST his surgery skills left in tact?

I love this con, but he leaves me with so many questions!

This is an idea that had been mulling in my head, imagining that Cybertronian scars, being welded, are inherently a very beautiful thing.

Because difference in heat intensity and welding patterns create something entirely and beautifully unique with each scar, none are ever so alike between different bots or cons.

LIKE!!! LOOK AT ALL OF THESE????

they all are so unique them, and maybe they even weld the scar in a way to expand it into some beautiful pattern, spiral, so that it's pain is remembered but redefined entirely.

YES! THIS!

I FULLY believe each medic has a unique welding "tell" due to blend of learning different techniques and preferred materials to the point that an experienced bot can identify the medic who fix you up based on the welds/patch jobs you received

It also can give away alot about the medic's priority's: do they see immediate maneuverability more important than long term recovery? That kind of thing

Hello! We are happy that you have chosen to become a crew member of the Lost Light. Before you get started there are some rules you must follow to ensure your safety for the duration of the journey.

Rules for the Lost Light:

1. If you see a yellow briefcase, don’t touch it and immediately notify Ultra Magnus of its whereabouts.

2. Do not, for any reason, be within 50 ft of the engine during takeoff. If you ignore this rule then we are not responsible for what happens to you.

3. If you are in the engine room and you hear a voice whispering “kill me”, you’re imagining things. Do not tell anyone else about it.

4. If you hear a really loud BOOM, do not initiate your transformation cog and make your way to the medibay.

5. If suddenly all of the lights turn off, lock all doors and don’t leave the room. Try to make as little noise as possible and do not attempt to turn on any lights. Don’t let any unfamiliar bots inside the room. DO NOT let him see you.

6. If at any point on this journey you find corpses with these characteristics, it is imperative that you immediately notify your captains and leave the area:

- Missing T-cog

- Processor in it’s mouth

- A face covered in puncture marks

- Has been electrocuted to death

- Has been grounded up

7. If you ever hear someone singing or humming the song The Empurean Suite nearby, IMMEDIATELY leave the area. Do whatever you need to do to get away. Anything is better than letting them catch you.

8. Don’t sing or hum The Empyrean Suite.

9. There are scraplets in the oil reservoir. Don’t worry she is mostly domesticated and will not harm you unless it is her feeding time. Do not swim in the reservoir at the times of 10:00 and 25:00

10. The Lost Light has no psychiatrist. If a mech with a grey mouthpiece claims to be one and proposes having sessions with him, do not agree and immediately notify your captains.

11. If you are looking old Lost Light footage or logs and you see any mention of an orange and white bot with glasses and a spark window, named Rung, occupation: psychiatrist, immediately cease looking at the document and give it to the ships archivist Rewind. This mech does not exist. The Lost Light has no psychiatrist.

12. If someone leaves and then comes back acting strangely and with fresh puncture wounds in the nape of their neck, immediately notify your captains.

I know this would change with every continuity, but how would field archeology work on Cybertron? Are there predictable patterns in the ways parts of the planet shift that make things easier? Do they just not use stratigraphy at all? Are they, as a species, both long-lived and new enough that they can reliably find someone on the street and ask them what was going on at the beginning of time? Do they even have enough dirt to form layers

its probably really easy to change your name on Cybertron, just as long as you also change your color scheme or alt mode. actually I think if you change those things you're legally required to change your name. you can only be Megatron if you look like Megatron, otherwise you have to be someone else because some losers repainted you and now you're at risk of losing your title of decepticon emperor of destruction. how inconvenient

It's almost unbelievable as I write these words while quadcopters are firing at us and the Israeli artillery is firing non-stop shells.

The cowardly Israeli occupation chooses the night to attack us, deliberately frightening the children and killing the largest possible number of innocent civilians. It is a merciless army. They kill us without being asked about anything because no one will hold them accountable.

ravage being protective of the lost lighters is so important to me. he protects getaway and nightbeat from the personality ticks, he defends a sleeping megatron from tailgate, he rescues drift, ratchet, and ten from the djd, he willingly goes out to scout the necroworld twice and gets shot for his efforts by tarn, he stays behind to fight the djd alongside rodimus and the others despite several opportunities to leave and just,, agh. he's a bitter asshole but it doesn't stop him from being a protector of the people around him

So I think I saw someone mention the name Kiloton somewhere again recently, so I decided to search him up on the Wiki

And so you’re telling me that he was Megatron’s genuine close friend, whose death at the hands of humans was enough for him to restart the Cybertronian War?

Not only that, but that top picture in general??

Like I don’t know what to tell you man, seems like homosexual behavior to me

Megop may have a contender in my eyes now

How has this Kiloton guy never come up in any other media?? This would be such an interesting reason in more modern media for Megatron to have a hatred of humans beyond the general hatred for organics!

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

(save the images to zoom in on the pics)

Oh, that’s very helpful indeed!
