Want to read an almost 500-page pdf analyzing the (first three) bayverse Transformers movies, about the creeping fascism of the autobots, bizarre symbolism, and Megatron being the secret hero of the piece? OKAY HERE YOU GO

(Full disclosure, most of the length is pictures mixed with short paragraphs. It’s not 500 pages of text.)

The “bayverse is actually good” analysis is a firmly tongue-in-cheek bit of fun that came out of Something Awful’s Cinema Discusso forum circa 2012. I’d heard it referenced but never bothered to read the thing until now. A lot of it is “wtf, Michael Bay?”, but there’s weird stuff going on in the background, from Megatron’s design and role becoming gradually more feminine as the movies progress until he’s letting his children eat his own body, Starscream the last loyal decepticon, Optimus’ deliberately-misleading narration, Shockwave-as-the-red-scare, and the decepticons’ working-class coding before IDW Megatron came along. If you enjoy reading too much into media as much as I do, it’s worth a look.

Pacific Rim/Transformers crossover where the humans are harvesting the corpses of dead TFs to build jaegers (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Okay but are the humans deciding to do this themselves or is Swindle  entrepreneuring again?

I was originally thinking more along the lines of Bayverse-esque where the humans are actively trying to capture, kill and convert Transformers for their war

@bibliotecaria-d tagging you, Coffee, because I just saw your “ask me about fics” post ouo

And wouldn’t that creep the living TFs out something awful. Worse, ever since the humans acquired Starscream’s dead shell, the Jaegers all start to malfunction one after another. It seems to be an electronic glitch, but the Jaeger suffering the malfunction shows a sudden sharp increase in power without increased input from its core. Partners locked in the drift will black out, but base reports they start to speak in sync with a scratchy, angry voice as they proceed to beat the tar out of the kaiju. The partners so possessed tend to dream for weeks afterward of open skies and vast, starry nights that stretch far beyond Earth.

well obviously Transformers: The Last Knight deserves all its
Razzie nominations and wins  but Steve Jablonsky deserves an Oscar for
“Did You Forget Who I Am” as Best Original Song

(aaand maybe Best Cinematography for the accompangying scene?)

I like how
Megatrons in different continuity have skill sets besides warlording.

IDW:
Poetry.

TF: Prime: Science.

TF: Animated: Engineering.

Bayverse: Babysitting.

TO EMPHASIZE:

IDW: Poetry.

Before giving the killing blow, Megatron gave a poetic speech of Impactor’s coming death. Even with no power to lift his harpoon, Impactor replied by scratching the words “NOT MORE POETRY” on the platform, and gave Megatron pause. © TFWiki

TF: Prime: Science.

formula for the cure you seek. Not that I expect you to know how to read it.”
