“What was most surprising, was Red Alert’s incredible ability of not punching in the face Sentinel Prime. Anytime Sentinel would approach her she would simply pretend to be busy with something in the hope that Sentinel would soon tire himself of talking pointlessly about himself and simply leave. Longarm would simply watch and study this ritual, with a little bit too much interest.”
sometimes i feel like the tf fandom just collectively forgets that the disposable class was like, A Thing
it comes up so rarely (…basically just the once) that I could see people actually forgetting.
Super frustrating that we know so little about disposables
they existed
rewind was one of them
they were treated as property
they weren’t permitted normal energon
they weren’t considered sentient until the ambus test
possibly mostly small mechs or mechs that transform into objects that would be easy to manufacture? jk I don’t think there are any details on what classes of mechs were disposables
which is a ton less info than we got for cold constructed mechs/empurata & it was mostly all an infodump in one issue. There’s just less to work with. (WHICH COULD BE SOLVED IF JR WOULD ANSWER MY LIST OF 5 MILLION DISPOSABLES CULTURE QUESTIONS AND/OR WRITE A SPINOFF SERIES ABOUT PRE-WAR DISPOSABLES)
Professor Heinz Von Furstwartz is an expert in robotics from the University of Vienna. He has wild grey hair and thick glasses. His primary interest is in pleasing the delightful woman he met online, the fetchingly-named Meg A. Tron.
Quest for the AllSpark
With the help of Ms Tron, Professor Von Furstwartz developed a machine designed to confuse Autobot sensors. He took the machine to America, where he found Bulkhead in the middle of a mission to conceal the AllSpark. The machine caused Bulkhead to trash a building and, when Bumblebee arrived, Bulkhead attacked him too. Von Furstwartz claimed that his machine could determine the origin of metals, and that it proved that Bumblebee was a fake Autobot manufactured in Detroit, but Sari and the human accompanying her saw through the deception and yanked the machine from around his neck. Once Bumblebee had destroyed it, Bulkhead’s mind was cleared of its influence.
Von Furstwartz attempted fruitlessly to escape and was chased down by Bumblebee. As the police led him away, he admitted he had been aided in the whole sorry affair by Ms Tron. Quest for the AllSpark
