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)
