This blog is dedicated to all the Transformers ideas and concepts that we need to get out of our head before we go insane.
Beware; all of this will be bullshits and the only things that are canon are the headcanons.
Israel targeted and killed 7 children and 4 adults waiting for water in a drone strike while crowds of people attempted to retrieve clean water from a water truck on July 13th. Water shortages are becoming worse. Fuel shortages are heavily affecting desalination sanitation facilities. People are now dependant on collection centres.
That massacre was just one of several in a 24 hour period on July 12th and 13th. The Health Ministry in Gaza reported that 139 bodies have been brought to hospitals within that 24 hour period.

In Gaza, just standing to receive water, or a food package is a death sentence. And yet the world is silent and complicit in this horror.
The alternative for this is buying food for crazy, expensive prices nobody can bear alone. Keep in mind, there is no income in Gaza.
Youssef ( @yosefgaza122 ) requires urgent donations. Him and his family are human too. His wife Hanan, and children Lana, Aboud and Adam aren't numbers. They have a story to tell (read here).
But the world is unsympathetic and unkind. The world has blocked their ears and eyes to the pain, suffering and extermination in Gaza.
They have only raised 11% of their goal, hardly enough to sustain the prices Youssef describes;
"Dear friend, we are living in a state of high prices in Gaza. Your donation is very important and necessary for my family. Every generous donation will save us from famine. Prices are exorbitant. Prices of basic commodities in Gaza today, Saturday, July 19 1 kg of flour: 200 shekels (£60) 1 kg of sugar: 400 shekels (£120) 1 kg of pasta: 100 shekels (£30) 1 kg of lentils: 80 shekels (£26) 1 kg of rice: 150 shekels (£45) 1 kg of tomatoes and eggplant: 90 shekels (£24) 1 kg of potatoes: 100 shekels (£30)."
The more shares, the more donations, the more we are helping aid get food a family in need. The more we are feeding three innocent children - be the reason they can eat.

Transformer protoforms but they start out as bitties who slowly grow up by shedding and replacing metal plates like how insects (or crutaceans) renew their external shells in nature.
Assume that the metal plates on Cybertronian's body are not just parts of armor that they put on but also their cyber-biological version of skin (that can also be removable, tho any skin is removable if you peel hard enough).
Cybertronians clearly don't have skin that can grow flexibly like us so it would (kind of) make sense that the outer plates are getting replaced so they can grow over time.
(90% of the thought process was put into this wordplay)
Still not sure if the biology behind the process is similar to butterfly's whole transformation or crab's molting that just changes its size, or both. Like Metalmorphosis can have different stages in which the first sign is the shedding (or molting) to grow larger and the later stages would have the protoform goes through major changes that can make them look unrecognizable compares to their original frame.
So like a Cybertronian's version of puberty (suck for them)
Well this is it for now, we're still not sure on what will replace the metal plates after the shedding. It will also be metal but how and where the protoforms getting the replacement for their now missing exoskeleton is the tricky part.
So yeah, Cybertronian biology
I think motorcycle Transformers are cool and I want more of them, but I also don’t like when they make female Transformers motorcycles as like, an excuse as to why they’re smaller and slimmer than the male characters. Not that a female bot can’t be a motorcycle, it’s just that it feels like that scenario happens too often with motorcycle bots
I think the solution is that we need more male motorcycle Transformers. The only ones I know of are TFA Prowl and Thrash, let’s expand that list a bit more
Consider this: Motorcycle Bumblebee. And make him a Vespa.
Consider: electric scooter transfomer (decepticon preferably, because everyone fucking hates these morons who ride on full speed on walksides)
Their humanoid altform will be miserable twig
Maybe it's even possible to convert them to casseticon...
Stickman ahhhh design
Petition to bring back Reedman (that one metal twig bot in bayverse) with this alt mode
You know I don’t see any reason for Cybertronians not to have blankets of some kind
Like we just drape them over our bodies to be warm on cold nights, or simply for the comfort they bring. I don’t see why the Cybertronians can’t have that; even if metal I’m pretty sure they have to regulate their internal temperatures, and it can be comfortable for them too
And they can probably make something able to be stretched and not just cold hard metal. Metal mesh exists, and I think I’ve seen one that’s like really small and intricate so the metal bends easily, at least on the macro scale we’d see it at. Or maybe Cybertron just has a material that could be made into something flexible and comfortable to bots, that works too
I don’t know why I’m having this thought. I think it was because I was relaxing in my bed and blankets came to mind
The conclusion? I don’t know, I guess just give Transformers giant blankets. It’s not impossible/impractical for them to have them, they just wouldn’t be the same as ours. They don’t have to sleep on bare berths
I watched the whole Unicron arc in Transformers: Prime recently and this was all I wanted to draw XDD I always wish more emotion and tears were shown in times like this.
I am also experimenting with their tear color. Originally I headcannoned cybertronian tears to be their bodies coolant, and so I drew it green. But after Breakdowns line "Boo hoo! I'm shedding lubricant!" While fake wiping a single tear away.. it tells me that they CAN cry and that they obviously cry lubricant. Not coolant.
Buuuuut I felt like blood red tears would be more interesting than the standard yellowish color of clean oil. So I went with that and called it a quirky cybertronian thing <XD
I'll likely change the colors when I make their official redesigns. But hey it was fun to draw for this post at least! :}}
They're so grandpa-and-grandsons core
*Transformers One has female transformers doing their jobs in harsh and cold environments that require them to act tough and rough...
*Someone: hOW dARe thE mOViE bUTcHErED fEmINinTY fROm tHEsE cHArACTeRs???
... They are sexless alien robot, Harold! Not the human characters from the 50s.
The fact that that post spoke of Strongarm's less femininely leaning body in a 'negative' way, and also mentioned she got her name from a "male character". Like, who knew that, I didn't even know that. How is that relevant?
Don't you know that female Transformers are only allowed to have feminine names, like Lancer and Airazor. Totally exclusive to girls.
But yeah, I don't know why they want another Prime Arachnid 2.0 in this movie, following by the whole "female villain" need to be female fatale to be "well-written" characters ... Yeah, can we stop using the female fatale trope to make female characters into antagonists??? Also, calling TFO Arachnid looking non-binary (using non-binary as an insult nonetheless) is a new type of "touch grass" moment.
Edit: And seeing them say that " it's not G1 Elita-1's nature to fight anymore than it is Optimus's nature" is kinda funny because why do you need to add this? What does this have anything to do with making G1 Elita-1 soft and feminine? They are fighting a war to survive, no one gives fuck about if acting like this would make me feminine or masculine? Plus, TFO Elita-1 acting harsh and strict is also her way to survive her shitty working conditions, why are you acting like TFO Elita-1 acting tough and rude is the movie making her "less feminine" or butchering femininity??? Are you hating her rude behaviors because they are annoying or because they make her less feminine????? Because I also don't like rude male characters too.
Just saw a post about transformers that was so heinous even I, someone who knows very little about transformers, instantly went, what?
Anyway, daily reminder that the alien robots don’t have gender roles, or even gender constructions. Any transformers that are men or women are those genders because they have come into contact with a society that has gender constructions and then adopted it themselves. All robots with gender are trans.
They’re alien robots, my guy. Female alien robots are commanders and soldiers in the same way male robot aliens are. In fact, lots of the “male” robot aliens probably wouldn’t even fucking identify as male because they’re fucking alien robots!! they’ve been at war for millions of years! Gender isn’t at the forefront of their minds!
This is all bc I saw someone say that the spider-like robot alien who murders people wasn’t feminine enough bc she didn’t have tits and stilettos or something ig. Human women have different body types if that’s what you’re going for, but I guess you didn’t think of that.
There’s weird sexism in transformers sometimes (bc G1 was an 80s cartoon made to sell toys to a target audience of boys) and transformers 1 wasn’t a perfect film. But like, it’s such a buckwild line of critique. Yeah, Elita 1s characterization in TF1 wasn’t my favorite thing in the world, but I’m not gonna disguise my thoughts by talking about “natural femininity” or whatever TERF dog whistle you have decided to project onto fucking alien robot car toys??
Lol, I just found that post and be like "They are just fucking sexless robots. If you want to find natural femininity, go watch romance dramas or sth"
Let me escape from the gender construct nonsenses in the real world when enjoying Elita-1.
We were failing, bawling our eyes out so we had to scroll through the Internet for mental support
Don't even like Starscream. (Low quality ahh..)
P.S: we stopped failing after this mf showed up
Remember kids, if you are failing in life, Starscream is also balling his way out in life :)
Transformers character's alt mode but it's just one of these bad girls
Bonus point if they're a Decepticon and their theme is ballet related
I think motorcycle Transformers are cool and I want more of them, but I also don’t like when they make female Transformers motorcycles as like, an excuse as to why they’re smaller and slimmer than the male characters. Not that a female bot can’t be a motorcycle, it’s just that it feels like that scenario happens too often with motorcycle bots
I think the solution is that we need more male motorcycle Transformers. The only ones I know of are TFA Prowl and Thrash, let’s expand that list a bit more
Consider this: Motorcycle Bumblebee. And make him a Vespa.
Also, can we please get a Transformer based on the 1955 Lincoln Futura?
It’s such a unique and weird looking car, but also cool looking, you can’t tell me it wouldn’t make for an awesome Transformer design
It’s probably just the colors, but I’m thinking Moonracer would look good with it. But I’m not sure, maybe someone else would be more fitting
Modern Transformers iterations would actually benefit a lot from having odd but interesting alt modes for character design.
Especially when the alt modes themselves are inspired from existed weird vehicles (or their concepts) in real life.
