Transformers Tech Specs Quotes Decepticons Part 2

My work is a monument to - and of - my enemies

^ when anyone asks about my art

'The road is my dinner plate. The toilet is my near-constant companion.'

if it flies, crash it!

huh i didn't know john mccain was a transformer

SLUGSLINGER The only way to survive a duel with me is to not show up.

this is some real 'one hand clapping' / 'tree falling in the forest' shit

SWINDLE Make deals, not war.

huh i didn't know donald trump was a &c &c

'The sound of ripping metal is music to my audio modules.'

I swear I said this exact thing to my greengrocer the other day.

He didn't seem to hear me no matter how loudly I repeated it, so his audio modules may have been on the fritz.

do transformers fuck

buddy there are terabytes of amateur drawings of transformers getting up to every imaginable variety of sexual activity out there, if you've never seen any of it i can only assume this is either your first five minutes on the internet or you've lived a much more charmed online existence than i have

yeah, i know, but in canon do they fuck

I've been operating under the assumption that all of these catchphrases were coined in the midst of a hump sesh.

yeah, i know, but in canon do they fuck

yes - the infamous 'holiday special' edition of idw's series the transformers (issue #291 iirc) the autobots and the decepticons put aside their differences, in the spirit of the christmas truce of 1914 on the frontlines of the great war, except instead of playing a game of football they indulge in an extremely graphic 64-page orgy of sucking, fucking, squirting, jizzing, gaping and scat-play

i'd rate it a solid 2.5/5 btw

Rub Butts on Dese Guys

This happened in one episode of the cartoon

I am impressed by Soto’s recall of canonical trivia

That just made me realize that they left Arcee out of the original line of toys, and hence no tech spec quote for her in the earlier Autobot poll. However, she was given one in the Marvel Transformers Universe comics.

You can get an Elita-1 toy now! Trivia no longer!

the scanner really picked up on that yellow ink & sexist atavism

arcee really stirred up some unfamiliar feelings for six-year-old me

stupid sexy robots :(

It's not an example of secretly progressive comics from the past, no.

I spent hours wondering whether Galvatron knew he was once Megatron.

I voted for Rumble, who adheres to the correct revolutionary line

voted triggerhappy for his jaunty, pithy 'have gun, have fun!'

I can't get the '80s Songs About Heart and Soul and Overcoming and Winning and Givin' it All That You Got' thread to load without crashing my browser, but has this been posted there yet?

request to change the ilx code so that whenever system automatically bumps a thread it posts "Desolation follows in my trail" instead of "Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow."

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Whew! And that's that. Thanks everybody for voting.

The weirdest realization from sifting through all these tech specs (sourced from Nordic TransFans Association, lol) is that I have a lot of problems differentiating in my memory between which toys I owned and which ones I just really, really wanted. You know, staring at for hours in Toys R Us newspaper inserts etc. I mean, I know I had Optimus Prime, but did I have Jetfire? Metroplex? I had Galvatron, but can't remember whether I had Skywarp or Thundercracker. Never had corny-ass Starscream though.

lol think I had Starscream. And a tiny little dune buggy one I was quite attached to. Must have had others but they all blur into one.

Is there a section on transformer phrenology

leaving myself open to accusations of naivete again... of course, the transformers fandom/nazi crossover will be enormous

"Terror is the stage on which I perform" was robbed

Soundwave and Laserbeak ftw

Oh great, thanks.

But they had no memory of who they used to be b/c they were already dead.

wait til they get a load of the current comics, which are full of robots changing their assumed gender and having gay relationships
