I’m sorry but I’ve seen two (2) posts about transformers being struck by lightning and I think you’re all missing out on something here????

Do y’all know how DRAMATIC transformers are? Like? Holy shit can y’all just calm down? Or, no, for SURE, you can brood in the rain dramatically for dramatic effect. That’s fine !!!!! That’s fine too!!!

I am placing fifty dollars on the table that Optimus and Megatron have been struck by lightning trying to look Dark and Edgy™ in the rain five times ALONE.

Don’t even get me started on the Drama queens Starscream and knockout. There is no (read: n o t. a. s i n g l e. o n e.) iteration of Starscream that wouldn’t look out on a cliff in the rain striking a melancholic but hopeful pose and then immediately got blasted.

How many bots came in after a good thunderstorm, soaking wet and yet SMOKING and singed as FUCK because ??? You guessed it??? They were HIT BY LIGHTNIBG????

Bet you there’s LIGHTNING STRIKE PROTOCOL. THATS HOW LIKELY THESE GIANT METAL ASSHOLES ARE TO GET STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

Oh god don’t even get me started on people just trying to have a good time. Rain feels nice sometimes and it can get in all those tricky corners except huh I feel kinda…. staticky right now and

BOOM!

GOODBYE MOTHERFUCKER LIGHTNING HERE TO KICK YOUR PANSY METAL ASS

Ratchet is one of those people I do not care what you tell me. He has definitely just tried to fucking… enjoy earth for once and got struck and couldn’t turn his sirens off for 3 days

Transformers fanon: Cybertronians have 6 different methods of communication that are secondary to spoken language, there are 5 different types of bonding between groups, gestalt and trine dynamics are complex and we WILL explore them, there are differences between subspecies based on alt, distinct cultures between locations on Cybertron, and of course these are highly advanced aliens so we made the alien langauge complex and well-thought out; most ideas about reproduction, culture, and biology are agreed upon by fic writers even if they don’t know each other, and if stuff’s been changed it’s probably because the writer invented something totally bitchin’ and way more in-depth, maybe even to explain a plot hole in the canon series

Transformers canon: have a glowing crystal thing, that’s pretty alien-looking right? Here’s cybertronian biology stuff we totally didn’t make up for this episode and won’t totally be changing the next time it gets in the way of the new toy-driven plot direction. Sometimes we replace swears with robot words for a giggle
