A few years ago I made some meme things about Shockwave being a vulgar and insulting transformer. 

Decided to make a few more using insults I found all over the internet.

Differences between popular fanon and IDW G1 canon:

Popular fanon: Optimus was a devoted spiritual leader.

IDW G1 canon: Optimus was an atheist.

Popular fanon: Rodimus was a young yet capable leader.

IDW G1 canon: Rodimus was a man-child.

Popular fanon: Arcee was a people-person with gentle spark.

IDW G1 canon: Arcee was socially awkward and undefeatable warrior.

Popular fanon: Bluestreak was a sweet woobie who needed a hug.

IDW G1 canon: Bluestreak was a traitor.

Popular fanon: You can trust Prowl.

IDW G1 canon: You cannot trust Prowl.

Popular fanon: Jazz was a charming social butterfly that could woo anyone, no matter what species they were.

IDW G1 canon: Have you seen how awkward Jazz was trying to reach out to that girl?

Popular fanon: Ultra Magnus was Optimus’s brother.

IDW G1 canon: Ultra Magnus was a legacy.

Popular fanon: Elita-1 was a badass female leader.

IDW G1 canon: Elita was a badass female leader and evil.

Popular fanon: Ratchet was grumpy and caring.

IDW G1 canon: Ratchet was grumpy and caring.

But a lot of the fanon was derived from G1, IDW has just very recently built into a lot of the things this ‘IDW G1’ canon thing is exploring.

And some of these are recient Barber or Roberts additions/modifications to the IDW canon. Jazz’s awkwardness is a result Barber choosing to affect him like that after Jazz killed a human during the Ongoing. Prior to that Jazz was one of the most social Autobots.

Arcee being a gentle person is a G1 thing that never translated to IDW.

Prior to IDW and not counting the Marvel comics, Prowl was a trustworthy character. In comics not written by Barber, or Roche (and even he goes to lengths to paint reasoning) Prowl has generally been written as a trustworthy character.

Ultra Magnus IS Optimus’ brother canonically in a few continuities. Him being an armor and name worn by several agents is a recent IDW thing.

Bluestreak was a sweet woobie who needed a hug (sort of) in G1. He was never a big focus on IDW his mutiny was part of the MTMTE storyline. In other G1 official fictilns he was never a a big woobie as much as fanon paints him. He was a traumatized character however so he probably needed that hug.

TFA rodimus eas a young capable leader. G1 rodimus was a young leader learning to be capable.

IDW has gone back and forth with the man-child thing.

G1 Ratchet was not grumpy. He actually smiled a lot and joked a lot, was the people person but could land a mean kick if needed to. Fandom insisted on giving him the Bones McCoy TOS personality and the canon, specially in TFA and IDW picked it up. And spread to everything else.

Elita 1 was a one episode character that people felt could be great and fanon decided to expand on it. IDW elitat did not exist as more than a background character of dubious canonical status, until the days of Windblade.

G1 Optimus was never exactly spiritual, but he was the daddimus prime with access to the wisdom of the Matrix ala Aang. Fanon painted him as a dispenser of wisdom, I must have missed his spiritual leader phase.

IDW Optimus always was a character that wasn’t happy with the primehood imposed on him but still took his tole of prime seriously. His strong atitude against the divinity of the primes or the matrix or his own role as prime began in earnest in the era when Barber was the editor and the Chaos Theory.

So just because a lot has changed in the last 6 years of IDW doesn’t mean a lot of fanon content didn’t have aan existing canon basis. Except for Ratchet. He began as a woobie in IDW and in marvel G1 he was even an alocholic (or equivalent).

ULTRA MAGNUS ONLY HAD ONE SIP AND HE’S ALREADY LIKE

That’s because he’s a minibot and he’s gotten a glass for a big-sized robot. For Minimus, one sip from this glass is probably like 5 glasses of high-grade. Not to mention the fact he’s not used to anything that would inhibit his control so it works even faster for him

So.

Poor Minimus.

the IDW Transformers comics are so unexpectedly brilliant and well-written, but they really need someone to start screening more carefully for typos

Unicron: *all horrors begotten by the desire of man flash before eyes* woha! this is awkward *the cries of millions suffering echo* Damn That's Weird

So, I have this headcanon that cybertronians express their feelings also with their lights. That’s why their native alt-modes have so many of them.

Like facial expressions, it is possible to learn to control them.

if you’re a transformers fan and you NEED to put a humanoid mouth and nose on a transformer that normally just has a faceplate, you’re fucking weak. you are a weakling. they’re robots and if you need them to kiss they’re gonna fuckin’ tink their faceplates together like a couple of wine glasses. no retracting faceplates to reveal secret kissable lips you fucking weakling.
