Moonlight Musings

So the current transformers thing is going somewhat well, I’m taking it a bit slower then I thought though. Still haven’t read through many comics but I ended up reading through the Skybound comics, it’s totally awesome!
Night and Day though when I’m still watching through Season 2 of the sunbow cartoon though. I also watched through the machinima prime wars/combiner wars show and that one was alright, I guess. I watched some of the live action movies too but I didn’t really like them very much aside from the 1st one and the other two I didn’t see yet since they weren’t on my service.

I’ll probably watch the Netflix War for Cybertron show next. Idk.

Anyways, here’s like, my current headcanons that I’ve just been making up as I watch shows. Somehow they’re gonna be way off base from what everyone else is working with and also probably get contradicted by later shows as I watch them. I am not in the fandom and also barely reading any of the fics yet, I’m gonna say something so off base somehow.


G1 cartoon current headcanons

The 2nd in command position keeps switching because it’s not set in stone but my current contenders are Jazz and Ratchet (Jazz for the movies, Ratchet for the G1 Cartoon)
Prowl was a lawyer on Cybertron and just got the cop car
Barricade and Prowl had a rivalry at one point (this is just me making one up based on that G1 Prowl is a cop car and that Movie Barricade was also a cop car)
Prowl is the only guy on the team currently aware of the internet and does IMs with Chip ever since that one episode
Mixmaster and various other characters like cats (example: Starscream based on skybound, me being a little silly and looking at Mm’s helmet and going “cat”, Soundwave and Ravage)
I think the decepticons try to pull pranks on each other to varying levels and degrees of harm such as: stealing medical supplies, daring each other to go into increasingly stupid things (go in mixmaster’s drum, go hang out in soundwave’s room and see if he doesn’t notice) but also they’re increasingly dysfunctional and just randomly jump and attack each other.
Ravage can talk but just chooses not to
Wheeljack and Ratchet are married and the dinobots are their “kids” (at least for the g1 cartoon canon)
Skyfire and Starscream did not get married but there was a proposal being considered before the incident with the ice. Very sad, it never happened and now they are like turbo divorced.
Various characters that turn into common cars occasionally end up being cryptids humans by just driving around without any driver inside (I know that in the movies there is a human form they can like mimic, but I think the concept of ghost cars is funnier)
Completely ignoring that I’ve seen TFone, I think the general part of the war’s origin is one day megatron showed up from nowhere and started being an asshole and that escalated into a full blown civil war

Machinima (Prime Wars)

Rodimus spends a large time of his recovery period post Machinima combiner wars just wandering around retracing his steps from when he was Cron, unfortunately haunted by visages and memories of his era with Overlord. Not helping is my other headcanon that Overlord walked off the blast so whenever he’s like “sometimes I still see him” it’s literally actually just the real Overlord. Haunted by cowboy.
Whatever Machinima ghost Starscream was going to do is immediately halted by Windblade seeing him being a ghost and then he gets unceremoniously thrown into the well of all sparks. That doesn’t get rid of him though so he just ends up on parole back on the council where Perceptor and Windblade and Optimus and Primal are in charge.
The writing decision to kill Megatron at the end is also reversed and he wakes up in the cybertronian swamp being like “what the hell.”
Not much else I can say for this one because there’s literally like nobody else in the cast like everyone else pretty much died unceremoniously.
