Seeker

tfpaddict:

Ah, Seekers. Rulers of the Skies, Death from Above, and most grounders agree, some of the most frustrating mecha to ever be built.

Seekers are part of the warbuild line; built for battle and trained for war However, they are also the only warbuilds that had a rank and standing in the caste system of the Golden Age. Somehow, while the rest of the warbuilds were far more oppressed and controlled, Seekers managed to maintain their unique culture and at least a voice (if not complete autonomy) in the the rule of their City, in the form of the Air Commander.

Graceful, prideful and dangerous, Seekers tend to draw the attention of all others who interact with them. However, they are also notoriously short-tempered and vicious when they feel they’ve been crossed or rejected. Many find them seemingly changeable at a whim and confusingly hard to read.

This is mainly because of the highly-developed Seeker wing-language and their attention to body language. Grounders often leave a conversation with a Seeker feeling as if they had missed half the conversation – with the Seeker leaving the same conversation thinking that the grounder was uncommonly dense. A mere tilt or flick of the wing could have a dozen meanings from invitation to a warning that the owner is becoming irritated beyond tolerance.

Relatively new to the tfa fandom but man have I been thinking about Blitzwing and trines

Don’t know where I got this idea from but I’m pretty sure he was experimented on, yeah? Anyway, what if Blitzwing was at one point a trine that got frankensteined into one body in some attempt to make a super soldier

And the separate personalities where the three trinemates

How fucked would that be

More musings (going off the idea of Blitzwing being a trine at one point):

How did they become the subjects for the experiment? Were they badly injured in some battle and it was decided without consent? Ordered to do so? Willingly volunteer? If they volunteered, did they know what for or were they kept in the dark about what was actually going to happen?

The personalities seem like they would balance each other out (as a trine possibly would), but they also seem unstable (forced merging, perhaps, or the stress of the experiments)

Predacon Language

Autobot Language

Decepticon Language

Hope you don’t mind if I tack a couple more on here!

Maximal language (called Cybertronix, a name it shares with the above predacon language)

And Cyberglyphics, which originated in the bay movies but are also used in the idw comics to represent old cybertronian!

i just thought of something

so there’s kind of a trope of non-fleshy beings like robots and idk glowy orb consciousnesses seeing fleshy beings as super gross because we’re made of meat and we poop and so forth

but

the very concept of ‘gross’ only makes sense if you are vulnerable to poison and contagion

if you don’t have flesh, there’s no real qualitative difference between blood and orange juice

robots shouldn’t even be able to be grossed out, or if they are, they should be grossed out by stuff like this

the wwires are just sticking out not even attached to anything ewwwwww

robots don’t really understand the intricate circumstances under which humans won’t touch dead things but god fucking help you if your passwords aren’t secure. 

#YOU JUST WROTE YOUR PASSWORD DOWN ON A POST IT NOTE?#uh is that bad#THAT’S THE MOST REVOLTING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN WHAT THE FUCK#is it as bad as pooping or as bad as corpse fucking#WHICH IS THE ONE WHERE YOU DIE???? IT’S THAT ONE

The real reason megatron decided to destroy Earth is he saw how we were storing our passwords.
