“Transformers is teaching children about acceptance.”
MAGA: Burn it all down.
“The president is a literally criminally charged sexual predator with an undeniable and for some reason heavily secretive relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, a child sex trafficker.”
MAGA: shrugs
Acceptance leads to social equality and then where would the Epsteins be? Think of the billionaires!!
Stop giving Nazis attention.
Boomers that are serious fans of the series know Transformers had the entire squad of queer and genders characters, all the way since first comic.
Literally Orion Pax & Megatron were they first gay couple. Until blatantly elections got in the way. Megatron is right, oppressors need to be challenged at every step.
漫画WikiPoint taken; but on the other hand, we can’t ignore them to death, can we? Like you said, oppressors need to be challenged at every step. I think there’s a difference between clapping back at some chud’s “gotcha” moment and allowing them into a space for debate.
The video addresses this directly.
Challenging oppression means going out of our comfort, organizing, and directly acting. The Malaysian is already wanted in Malaysia, Malaysian have that challenged.Now, when is the Twitter Takedown?
If we are to apply the thesis in Transformers & ThoughtSlime, X Corp Headquarters needs some renovations.I believe resistance occurs in many forms. And I’m all for a, let’s say, radical renovation to the X HQ.
Anyway, I don’t appreciate being ordered about. Only my spouse gets to do that, and only when I’m wearing the collar.
Then I hope to see you soon in Bastrop, Texas. We got Decepticons in captivity. Rolling out.
I’m queer, trans, disabled, and poor. You’ll have to enjoy TX for the both of us.
Wait, what!? Megatron was gay? I mean, do robots (in disguise) even love?
Today I learned I guess.
It was implied, as they were friends during the Cybertron war. After MoL fell to Orion, their friendship extremely soured.
do robots (in disguise) even love?
This isn’t even a worthwhile question. They are more capable than love than meets the eye.
I’m not a deep fan of Transformers, but I heard of a time when a transformer carried a human fetus in their robo-womb, so anything is possible.
In what continuity were Orion and Megatron any more than friends? In the '84 cartoon Orion has a girlfriend named Ariel who becomes Elita-1 at the same time Orion becomes Prime. He doesn’t seem to have even met Megatron yet. And I’m not sure the original comics even cover Optimus before he was Prime.
There was a comic series were Orion was a pathological serial killer, and that is how Megatron befriend Pax, “enemy of my enemy.” Ariel dies in this one. I am not a fan of the series, so forgive me for not recalling the name of the retcon continuity.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s a Shattered Glass run
I tried reviewing that continuity to see if it was the one I read, but the artstyle didn’t match, or Orion’s position when recruiting Megatron in the war. Plus, Megatron is the hero in Shattered Glass. The one I read still made him a villain. I found it whiplashing that as soon as Orion got the MoL, he somehow gained empathy. I stopped reading exactly there, because after all the genocide he committed on that continuity, he now regrets his actions and won’t reparate‽ What kind of monster are you writing? Empathy needs to follow up with appropriate reparations you 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Got it, no idea what that one was then, but I’ll be happy not knowing.

This particular set of organics are not Transformers, they are instead Terrans. So it makes more sense to have more genders and pronouns than what Cybertron offered. But at the least this series was never shy to show genders do not equate sex.
Something a failed Malaysian runaway detests.I guess, it’s just odd to me that they’ve had a binary system despite not being split down the middle. There’s probably ways to justify it though.
Nonono, cybertron had enby characters. It just it makes more sense on Earth to have more genders, pronouns, and expressions than a war ridden Cybertron. From lore, our little planet is certainly more diverse.
Oh, okay. I’ve really only been around for the Unicron trilogy shows, so I wasn’t aware.
Yeah, it looks kinda pixar-like to me, and I find that style hit or miss. I haven’t watched the show either
3d TV animation has never really looked right to me. Like, most of the time it’s passable, but it still looks very artificial in many shows.
Same. I’ll always prefer the drawn “cartoon” style personally
I liked the mix they did with Cybertron (the one with the cyber keys. God this show is confusing to talk about.), but that might be nostalgia talking.
I’m not familiar actually! I feel like there’s 87 runs of this show but I am not the smartest (or most up to date) potato
It’s cool. Not for everyone though. Lots of Super Sentai style fights and transformations. I really like that they have other planets with native bots on them.
It’s teeechnically a sequel to the two preceding shows, but it’s essentially a completely separate series. Unicron trilogy was weird.
That sounds neat. I’ll put it on my list c:
It’s more Cocomelon-like. I know because it triggered some trauma from raising my kids.
But the demographics!
Not sure if this is exactly what you’re talking about, but I remember Bionicle had exactly 1/6th of the population be female because the demographics were projected to be that. Such a weird way to do it given that most people who picked up those toys probably didn’t bother with the story, and there wasn’t really a way to tell they were female without reading up on it.
Wow I never knew this-
Though that 1/6 might also have been just a coincidence initially, in many iterations Bionicle had six Toas and evil bionicles each, which meant one token female between the six.
That’s probably closer to the truth. It would be odd for a bunch of old dudes to think a sixth of the audience for action figures would be girls, but that’s just what I was told.
The “trans propaganda” remembers me whenever a background gay character was “gay agenda” or whatever, the same moral panicking just shifting focus but same bs overall
Yeah let me check the “gender” this alien had at “birth”.
“But shit I was pretty sure this truck was male!” - anonymous Transformer fan from Texas
“It had truck nuts and everything!”
Can I get truck vulva?
Sure, just stick a fleshlight up the exhaust
surely “cisformer” is just another word for trans?
Are they gonna americanize transformers like they did bluey? Cisformers?
Idk the scene but it seems a bit silly.
We need to save the world but can’t do that on an empty stomach. How about a picnic in the park?
damn the bible is pushing transgender propaganda
RIP PETER CULLEN
Enbyformers?
If I were trans then I would call myself They. No excuse!
Why hasn’t anyone put this guy down yet?
Malaysia corruption ╮(︶▽︶)╭
Sounds like a relatively easy place to get something like that accomplished, then.
That would be the Mercury Mistress.
