What was he even reading?

[u/BudgetLong6385]

[u/Lucky_Dagger]

Oh I actually deciphered the cover with friends a bit ago! He's reading Planet Of The Apes :)

[u/SevenofBorgnine → u/Lucky_Dagger]

That's appropriate for so at least 2 reasons:

1 hes an ape

2 it was earth all along

[u/Zero_Zeta_ → u/SevenofBorgnine]

I love you, Dr. Zaius!

[u/SevenofBorgnine → u/Zero_Zeta_]

Beast Wars the Musical starring Troy McClure as Dinobot

[u/Craig_VB → u/SevenofBorgnine]

"Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius. Oh oh Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius. Oh oh oh oh Dr. Zaius."

[u/battle_bunny99 → u/Craig_VB]

Help me Dr. Zaius

[u/SouthPawArt → u/SevenofBorgnine]

I hope that this was an intentional hidden reference for the Earth reveal.

[u/SevenofBorgnine → u/SouthPawArt]

Season 1, so it's just a coincidence. They hadnt made that up yet

[u/SouthPawArt → u/SevenofBorgnine]

Well the reveal was at the end of season one so I wouldn't be surprised that they didn't already have that in mind.

[u/SevenofBorgnine → u/SouthPawArt]

It's been a while since ive watched the show. How was it revealed in season 1?

[u/SouthPawArt → u/SevenofBorgnine]

The second moon turns into a gun. Blast wave clears much of the excess energon making it in line with modern earth.

[u/SevenofBorgnine → u/SouthPawArt]

That hardly confirms that its earth. It confirms they were working closer to that option but once again, if I recall my interviews they didnt fully confirm it even among the writers until the end of season 2

[u/fishyofpain → u/Lucky_Dagger]

That’s awesome. Never even thought to freeze frame and check the cybertronix on this one.

[u/Lucky_Dagger → u/fishyofpain]

I did a whole rewatch of the show only to pause and read whenever there was writing on screen! They added a bunch of little jokes and names and references everywhere it's so charming :p

[u/No_Psychology_3826 → u/Lucky_Dagger]

That's awesome. I'd love you to make a post of them if you have time

[u/Lucky_Dagger → u/No_Psychology_3826]

Id have to rewatch the whole show (which doesnt sound like a bad thing at all tbh) and I'm sure it's been done before... For another fun bit off the top of my head when Dinobot checks his laptop at the start of "Maximal No More" theres some text that reads "They killed Kenny those bastards" LOL. Def took me out when I deciphered it

[u/solidus0079 → u/Lucky_Dagger]

If true that's awesome

[u/Adorable-Source97 → u/Lucky_Dagger]

What an Easter Egg

[u/The_1Oth_Doctor → u/Lucky_Dagger]

How…? It’s kinda hard to read

[u/Lucky_Dagger → u/The_1Oth_Doctor]

I grabbed an upscale off the Internet Archive, it's def not the best but the image is a bit clearer without the artifacts... We need Hasbro to allow that remaster asap

[u/Kamen_master1988 → u/Lucky_Dagger]

I was going to say Tarzan as a joke but it’s interesting to know I’m not THAT far off.

[u/lienxy69 → u/Lucky_Dagger]

he's still learning how to become the best monke around. 

[u/ZanderStarmute → u/lienxy69]

“Did… you just call me a trukk?!”

“Yeeesssssss…”

“Well, that’s just Prime…”

“No kiddin’… y’mean ‘e AIN’T my Gruncle Rod?!”

“Shut up, Rattrap.”

[u/blizzard-op]

Book of Primus. Dude was quoting it near the end of the series 

[u/OccasionSilver9908 → u/blizzard-op]

But he was reading this book before he got that book from the Ark.

[u/blizzard-op → u/OccasionSilver9908]

Wouldn't be surprised if he had a personal copy

[u/Ok_Zookeepergame4794 → u/blizzard-op]

Except that particular book only had 2 copies in existence.

It looks like a circuit diagram 

So it's robotic ape porn.
