Being a Star Trek fan, I love the idea of Autobots and Decepticons having clear crew/department divisions (that get scrambled and abandoned as they spend more time on Earth). Bumblebee doesn't start out as Optimus' right hand; he's just a junior engineer/scavenger working for Wheeljack. He just...

My biggest complaint about TF2007 is that the "heroes" deliberately endanger an entire city full of civilians by bringing the macguffin right to them. I can get past the bad directing, bad acting, and barely-coherent plot, but the stupid, careless cruelty of the alleged heroes was my breaking...

Wildwheel from Cyberverse. He was aboard the Ark when it went down, but they couldn't account for him after everyone woke up. Then have him show up much later and reveal his whole side-story. Shatter and Dropkick, just to give us more Decepticons (ooh, maybe have them turn up midway through the...

I can't even remember when I joined (the early 2000s are a bit of a blur for me, what with college and uni and desperately looking for employment), but I'm glad I found this place.

Sounds like you'll have to go on an Odyssey to find the thread. . .

Checking in during my minutes of spare time during the work week.

Now that it's the weekend and I'm allowed to have my own thoughts. As someone who lives and breathes sci-fi, I spend a lot of time thinking about political theory; how would you run a Galactic Empire? What would a utopian Federation actually look like? How would you explain democracy to someone...

That's kind-of what's happened in my (by now somewhat convoluted) fanverse: Rodimus Prime received the Matrix, whiffed it, then handed the reigns back to Optimus when he came back. Hot Rod is left with the sense that he's not worthy, and could never be as great a leader as Optimus. Decades...

How do you forget a name like "Obadiah Stane?"

I mean, I can see some complaints that Rodimus is basically Bumblebee (or maybe a Bumblebee/Jazz fusion), and that he came out of nowhere rather than using the kid-appeal character who was already right there.

. . . And are explicitly named Tuvar and Baddrah.

This is why I like them as prototypes/test-types; loaded down with features and capabilities that got budgeted out of the "production models."

I've always favoured a more abstract translation. Cybertronian name: *high-pitched digital tone* Literal translation: Syncopated rhythm arising from apparent chaos "Fixed" translation: Jazz Cybertronian name: *modulating digital beeps* Literal translation: Hunter tracking prey through shadows...
