I dunno why but when I saw this scene,
My mind immediately thought of this.
I think it's the cardboard paper falling that makes me jump to this conclusion.
EARTHSPARK SPOILERS EYYYYY
I dunno why but like I'm so interested and a bit bugged out by episode 16 "Warzone",
I don't mean in a bad way but PLEASE HEAR ME OUT.
The flashback with the fight on the spacebridge felt like a bit lackluster to me. There are only so few bots and cons there that are fighting and those bots are the ones we have already seen on screen. I'm pretty sure there might be more to the story than meets the eye. If it's also because of budget then I guess it's fine as well.
Second the thing about Thrash saying stuff like how they are going to clean up the mess that Megatron and the others have done and the pressure of it,
I really love that though I wish they explore a bit more. I would like to see more of them hating to be put in a position like that. Additionally, it reminded me a bit of Steven Universe and her relationship with Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond.
Then there's Megatron calling Shockwave old friend👀👀👀. I am now very curious about their past or backstory. Like did he just call him old friend because they fought alongside each other for a long time or they were close friends before the war.
He sounded so sad when he said 'I am sorry old friend.'
Then this...
Hey, wait a minute...
This scene wasn't there on the first flashback. 🤔🤔🤔
At the start of the episode there is a flashback of the battle then a second flashback now being narrated by Megatron minutes later after the first flashback. Everything is the same but now with added scenes of Shockwave and that scene of Starscream jumping to get the Allspark into the spacebridge. Like they can't just put it there without being important to the overarching plot.
I dunno it just feels so suspicious to me. But maybe I'm wrong.
Also Shockwave seeing the memories of Thrash with being happy with his family is just like "Eww, LoWEr CLasS bEIngS😖😑" is just so funny to me. Like he's being an emo HAHAAHAH. That's not very logical of you Shockwave.
Overall I like it. I dunno why it felt lacking to me but I still like it. It's just that it feels like it has lose ends in the story but like I said maybe it's important in the later overarching plot.
AAHHHHHHHH.
I AM SCREAMING RIGHT NOW.
I didn't expect nor noticed this.
"Bagyo Popcorn; Ang Sarap"
It literally means "Typhoon Popcorn; It's Delicious"
BWAHAHAAHAH
W-why does the Earthspark popcorn look like teeth?
The pain of not only of your timezone being hours earlier than in the US but having to wait for days to find a pirated video of the episodes(probably in a google drive) you've been waiting on a show you've been excited about and just- AHHRHRHGGGGHAUAHUHSHBSNSIDKKEOWKSO
Yes I'm talking about Paramount+ and Earthspark
Okay I kept seeing people point out in Earthspark where Bumblebee making a joke about Soundwave being energon deprived and accidentally makes a cassette explode inside of him and they are just shocked that it's either so out of character or its dark humor is somewhat bad.
I get it but I think it's understandable why he would act this way. Bee is very likely born in the middle of the war and we all know that raising a kid in a damn war is not a good place for them. They are forced to be able to fight, adapt and mature immediately because their lives depend on it, not every time an older bot is around to help them. But the bots likely try their best to have a nice environment for them(especially that it was Optimus who mentored Bumblebee).
This would have an effect on them and one of them is they are likely to be more alert, serious, have problems socializing and maybe form a different kind of personality like, I dunno, dark humor perhaps.
In episode 3 when they are playing charades Bee said it was an 'injured deception' How do you proceed in this situation?' when clearly it was a chicken. It's obvious that he is using game night as a way to teach or train the Terrans or get closer to them(and I face-plamed at some of those scenes but still laughing) and we can see how that went through.
But what if Bee only acted this way because, again his entire life is focused in the war, he is under pressure. The Bots need to teach and prepare him for everything and now that there's no war it's hard for them to adjust just like Megatron said that 'the war is clearly over for everyone'.
That line hit me so hard.
Because it does not only apply to the Decepticons who willingly refuse to surrender but to everyone because it's not easy to just adjust in a new and more relaxed life when the entirety of your life is about fighting for your life and taking risks.
Not to mention the possible scars you've got along the way whether it's physical, mental or emotional scars. The habits and mindsets formed to survive in their war.
It's impossible for them to just, I dunno, settle down or throw that away.
I doubt that Bee is the only one affected by this.
In short
.
.
.
The war just screwed them all up.
Also we aren't even sure if the cassetticon lived or not. All it said was that it exploded when Soundwave tried to eject it. I know it must damn hurt (hungry and wounded that hurts💔) but who knows maybe they lived and Bee just didn't get the chance to finish his story because it's the wrong the time to tell that joke infront of kids too who are worried for Twitch and Thrash whom are likely energon deprived.
He probably tries to lighten the mood with some humor but we know he failed.
That's all I got and I think I might got some of it wrong but I can't remember. Feel free to correct me.
Edit: I forgot to put some things here like the assumed cassette who exploded is Rumble and like how some cope by making humor and such because I'm not good at English so thanks for the ones who commented in this.
This sounds like a stupid fic idea but I dunno also possible Earthspark spoilers(maybe?)
For some odd reason, my brain seemed to really like the idea of what if in Earthspark the backstory of like Megatron, Soundwave and Starscream is that they used to be really close friends before the war and during the war the friendship slowly breaks and completely shatters when the war ended or when Megatron decided to team-up with the Autobots.
Also like it would be cool like the Decepticons(just like TFP or IDW) were just victims of the caste system and had started out as an act of hope and freedom for a better life and became friends because of this but relationships crash and burn as the war started and in the end became divided and scattered. Meanwhile the Autobots just wanted to the Decepticons to, you know, keep them inline or minimize damage and in the end the Autobots changed their morals and became united in the end.
This could be the reason why Megatron doesn't want to see his Decepticons stuck in a jail or being mistreated. These are his comrades, his people. He knew their reasons for their actions.
Also I think in the episode where Megatron and Soundwave fought, he looks kind of a bit shocked that Soundwave considered him a traitor. And the fact that Sounders is just so feral to him, you know there's more ✨ drama ✨ to this and them being very close friends waaaaaaay before the war is definitely going to hurt soooo bad. Maybe it's because of this too perhaps Megatron has some hope that Soundwave could join him trying to make peace.
Now for Starscream... we don't know anything about him in Earthspark other than he cackled like mad for 5 seconds probably implying that he is still the scheming seeker that we know. Heck, I was kinda hoping that just like Megatron and Soundwave his personality is somewhat altered in this universe. (You know like Megs being close with a human and Sounds being feral and looks like having issues with his casseticons)
Who knows, for all we know Earthspark could shock us by making Starscream, just like Soundwave, wanted revenge to Megatron although with a lot more personal grudge that had brewed over the years they had together (these grudges probably formed during the war).
But honestly, anything works for me... BUT PLEASE I DON'T WANT STARSCREAM TO BE A PUNCHING BAG AGAIN. I mean they could use it as a plot device (?) like he would get so sick of it and proves to them that he is more than that and becomes the town's ✨ local menace ✨ just because he can.
Anyway that's about it. I know it sounds so far fetched but I want to get this out of my brain
I think you meant un-bee-lievable
I can't get enough of this guy <3
i love him so much its unbelievable
Optimus: the decepticons are attacking! autobots, roll ou
tfe wheeljack:
They’re so silly. I love them
Happy Valentin's Day !
Click for better quality
I just rewatch Earthspark and wanted to draw a little Breakbee ! :3
I have a few other ship art(TF and Trolls) I wanted to finish for today, but I'm sick right now so I couldn't finish them :(
Process
Me : *complaning to my mom about how I can't find an earthspark bumblebee toy*
My mom today : Look what I found during grocery !
Not exactly the one I had in mind, but thanks mom, I love him ❤️😂😂
i’m rewatching the mandroid fight and after the base goes howl’s moving castle these three arachnamechs find each other and fall together and the last thing they do before the camera cuts is grab hold of each other and i’m not ok???
i can not stop thinking about how funny scottish megatron is gonna be and how i am absolutely going to use this as an excuse to say that everybody from tarn has a scottish accent. tarn (the dude, not the place) fakes a scottish accent and it’s really bad but everybody is too scared to say anything
YIPPEE
I heard he's finally in earthspark..
IM GONAN KILHLO YU✨✨
bumblebee earthspark my beloved
I had an odd theory looking over the TFE episodes (and I am writing this at like 3am so someone else could probably put it a lot better than I can)
What if Bee was a Decepticon at some point?
There’s a little bit of evidence for it - he seems to be on personal terms with a lot of the Decepticons, to the point of apologizing to one of the Insecticons during the battle for the Allspark. He has Decepticon tech - maybe Optimus gave it to him, I’m not sure? Either way, he seems to really know his way around it. Swindle seems to have a very personal vendetta against him, specifically referring to the Battle of the Bay, which is definitely an important battle as it’s when Megatron defected and Dottie lost her leg.
And then there’s the whole thing with Breakdown! I could be remembering this wrong, but does Breakdown mention Optimus “getting between” them or something? They could have been friends pre-war of course, and that’s more likely, but it just makes me wonder.
I’m sure there are other examples. And perhaps he was a spy instead. Perhaps I’m looking too much into this, haha. It just seems like it would fit into Earthspark’s theme of change, and would be something very new with Bumblebee, which they seem to be trying to do with a lot of the classic characters.
It’s mostly Ratchet tbh.
But first, Hawkmoth, aka the second terrible French father that’s been in a fandom I’ve been a part of. He’s fun, as you can clearly see.
A pair of Ratchets.
A holoform design for Ratchet, heavily based on /lauren-bennett’s design of Ratchet’s holoform version. Someone please teach me how to draw braids
I want to know what happened to Megs’ scars after the Dweller episode. Did they just… heal? It seemed significant, and I’m hoping they circle back to it!
And finally, more Ratchet and Megatron. The bucket head is fun to struggle with :)
That’s all the art I have for now. Thanks for reading through!
I have a couple of posts lined up for the next few weeks but then I’ll run out lol
Still drawing this guy. Haha fun shapes
2nd time drawing TFP Starscream! Little bastard man
Dottie! I love her so much. She’s such an interesting character, and Benni Latham is incredibly talented.
And here’s Megatron, who somehow manages to look different every time I draw him. I’m starting to get the hang of him, but sir please
The man himself again! Every time I have art block I start drawing High Tide for some reason
Scoot TF2. I started drawing a bunch of old hyperfixiations, including the annoying Boston boy himself. I tried an in-game version and a comic version. Not sure which I prefer
Speaking of old hyperfixiations, I was obsessed with Marvel for a while. Here’s the Mad Titan himself, in the style that I wanted when Infinity War was coming out.
Until next week!
I’m so normal about their friendship I promise
They’re taking a nap between battles :)
The differences between TFP and Earthspark Optimuses are sooooooo fucking funny. TFP OP is burdened with "I've never seen Prime laugh, cry, or lose his cool," he responds to "Hey Optimus you wanna see something funny?!" with the numbest dead-eyed Eeyore "No," he's just generally Haunted and Stoic every waking moment
Then we have Chuckles McGee with his looney toons ass face winking and making finger guns and giggling nervously and spamming the group chat with emojis and cracking jokes and making "graphic design is my passion" self-help pamphlets
