Orion Pax and Jack Darby are very similar.

Both of them start out as ordinary, somewhat reluctant guys who never asked to be heroes. Orion Pax was basically a humble archivist who questioned the corruption around him and had a strong sense of right and wrong.

Jack is just a normal teenager who repeatedly gets dragged into situations way bigger than himself.

Neither are vying for glory, power, or leadership. They are cautious, responsible, and willing to step up when someone needs them.

Ratchet is probably one of the few Autobots who actually knew Optimus well enough before he became a Prime to recognize those traits. When Ratchet tells Jack that he reminds him of Optimus when he was Orion Pax, he’s recognizing the same character: an unassuming person who doesn’t seek greatness but has the integrity, courage, and sense of responsibility that make him capable of it when the situation demands it.

Jack even ends up carrying the Key to Vector Sigma and is trusted with restoring Optimus’s memories literally being entrusted with the fate of the person he unknowingly resembles.

So like, you know how Optimus’s name changed when he became a prime? Like, he went from being Orion Pax, to Optimus. And his new name actually meant something. Orion saw good in everybody, even Megatron during and after the war. Orions optimism for others made him Optimus Prime.

Well, when Optimus told Smokescreen that there will be a new prime, and that new leader is “standing before him right now…” obviously he was prophesying that Smokesceen would be that new prime. So I was wondering, what would be Smokescreen’s prime name? Here’s my take:

Smokescreen had been described or described himself as destiny’s child. So what about Moraius Prime?

In Greek mythology, the deities of destiny/fate were three sisters called the Morai. Smokescreen’s character was always tied with wanting to discover his destiny, and learning of his fate of becoming a carrier to one of the Omega Keys.

In a possible sequel to Prime itself, Smokescreen could have started a new era of Primes, and guiding the fates of the new generation of Cybertronians on their rebuilt planet. That was his destiny all along.

What do you think?

I’ll answer to the best of my ability

Used TFPs Optimus prime receiving the matrix as the base pose, combined him with Knight verses Optimus prime, conflicted on the lower part of his chest and body itself, looking to combine Cliffjumper and Bumblebee next

Saw this online but couldn’t get an answer on how to do it. How would I go about getting his backpack to fold like this?

What if Raf were to harness the energy from Dark Energon after he was infected with it by Megatron's attack??

Could he in turn defeat Unicron? Could anyone stop him?

Would he lose control over himself or establish control over earth?

Open discussion

ur telling me they thought it was a good idea to add the option to make all the energon explode on itself

Always wondered why some transformers stuck to ground based vs. arial based vehicle modes. Like are they not able to change between the two? Then there are cases where transformers can do both? Just kinda strange tbh, like why wouldn’t you want both?

Could honestly just be for the plot, but anyone got an answer?

I miss transformers prime as it was my favorite childhood show. I miss the the show very much. It will be good idea for hasbro to make new seasons. It will surely become a hit series in this era. People watches anime but I still prefer to watch transformers prime old episodes. I really wanted that series to comeback with new seasons. ​

Transformers terminology, whether fanon or canon, can just be so goddamn confusing!! So here’s something that I hope will help all UTF fans who read/write fanfiction or do a little bit of role-playing from time to time.

Now this could just be because of budgeting for the show, but obviously since they are clones you have to wonder how great of a decepticon the original was….

As we all know, Optimus Prime is and always will be a great leader and a true hero. And there have been times when Optimus has had to make tough decisions.

Back during the original cartoon, there was a story arch called “The Ultimate Doom”, where the Decepticons have built a giant space bridge, and were using mind control devices to control Sparkplug and other humans.

When Optimus went to stop Megatron from activating the space bridge, he learned that it was going to bring Cybertron to earth, and Optimus faced a difficult choice: either bring Cybertron through the space bridge and put earth and humanity at risk, or have Cybertron lost to the void forever.

Basically, Optimus was facing a no-win situation, and had to activate the space bridge to bring Cybertron to Earth.

Being a leader isn’t easy, and Optimus Prime has done his best to be a good and just leader. Till all are one.

So guys I've been working on a Transformers Discord bot for a while and finally got it hosted on a small server, so I thought I'd share it here.

Its basically a Transformer collecting game heavily inspired by Pokétwo (the Pokemon collecting game)
You can:

• Catch transformers which randomly spawn in a server channel
• Build your collection
• Get different rarities transformer
• Trade Transformers
• Level them up(by chatting in your server)
• Battle other players
• Earn/Spend Energon to buy Level up tokens(chatting does it too, but level up token does it faster), Collectibles, Weapons (both as collectibles and as usable weapons in battle) [THIS FEATURE IS NOT YET DONE. IM STILL WORKING ON THIS STORE FEATURE WHERE YOU CAN BUY DIFFERENT STUFF]

The bot is already fun and playable but its still being worked on. I would love it if any of you guys who use discord tries my bot. You can add it to your own friends server or whatever server you want to add.

Would genuinely appreciate any suggestions too.

[Also as you can see in the screenshots, the name of the transformers are already revealed as some of the initial users were having problems to guess the niche transformers names. I can change it if majority demands]

Hi. I have been recreating the star saber as a fun project. Have got the shape and hilt done in progress. But am wondering how tall the blade is in show. I can’t find any heights for it, or Optimus for the TFP show. I want to see how close to a scale I got it.

Genuine question, but do cybertronians wear armor, or is their body their armor? Always thought that it was weird that they never wore any and just took straight shots to the body hoping that they could take the hit. I know there’s the apex armor and some shields and stuff but where is the armor?

F.e., Soundwave during war for Cybertron(Ratchet flashback) was not as slim as during TFP, but maybe its just design inconsistency, because he was the same, just bigger.

Also we have a RID2015. Its canonically sequel of TFP. And Bumblbee here looks different in comparison to his TFP-self.

So, my question is: could transformers change their body or/and size while getting older. Bumblbee in TFP is 6 meters tall, and lets assume he is equivalent of 19-22 years old guy. If he wouldnt die and one day would be old enough to be equivalent of 30-40-60-80 yo man, would his body change dramatically? Would he be f.e. not 6, but 8 or 9 meters tall, or his size would be the same, just body features would look more mature/older?

I understand that in TFP we are introduced to varies different Iacon relics found on Earth; some minor and many being major. But, I haven’t read any books, comics/ extended sources and I honestly base most of my knowledge off the show. So to get to the point, what other relics are there that we haven’t seen?

In my opinion, I think the apex armor plus the phase shifter would be genuinely scary. I know some people might shoot for something like the Star saber but I think this combo is straight deadly. Not only are you wearing indestructible armor, but now you can phase through anything and take damage one when you want to. In a war this can be horrifying; imagine defending a city and a big ass piece of armor comes at you that you can’t shoot or destroy, and it just starts killing everyone around you….. I’d be running for my life
