A Transformers Thread

So how exactly do the Transformers eat and drink? There has been record of cybertronian food in various series, as well as Mc Adams of course for drinking, but how exactly do they process it? How about ones who dont have mouths?

in IDW Optimus shows his faceplate comes off and he has a mouth. He takes it off specifically to eat.◊

As for the food it's energon in various form.

I recall G1 guys consuming energon and only energon, in the cartoon anyway. Animated had them occasionally drink oil as though it was beer or wine, depending on the scene. There was some eating of genuine food in Beast Wars, but that opens up the entire debate of whether the Maximals and Predacons in that series were techno-organic, and thus had some biological components.

Guys, we can't forget the greatest scene of Transformers drinking:

I don't think the Maximals and Predacons started out as technorganic, more the idea was that they were just more advanced—in particular more fuel-efficient—than their Great War ancestors. That could well have included the ability to derive their energy from less energy-dense sources, like food, in the way an organic creature might but I don't think anything was ever explicitly stated about that.

I have been thinking would if we put the whole transformers franchises under a sciencetific microscope, would cybertronnieisn be classed as techno-orgaincs?

Merch confirms that it was Airachnid in the trailer. Dope. I hope this means a good Airachnid toy down the line, I love her design.

It's always cool when an original character from one of the cartoons blows up and get's adapted into others. Good on Bulkhead and Lockdown for getting the legacies they have and hopefully Airachnid get's some good stuff to do.

I 'member when Bulkhead was just that one guy from Energon. It took his Animated incarnation to really get him some fame!

I quite like the Energon Bulkhead's design. But I wouldn't say I like how poorly his toy—or rather, the partner mech backpack figure—ages if the batteries are left in. I've had two copies, and the acid melts the mech's turrets and snaps them off their connections. XO

I wonder if they're going to have Airachnid replace Blackarachnia as the evil Spider-lady, considering Blackarachnia is becoming famous for being a Tweener / Anti-Hero / Anti-Villain.

Double Post.

Today, Chris Mc Feely gives us Omega Prime.

New video from Mc Feely. Today it's Chromia.

So if you would rank the most well know Female Autobots (after Arcee, who's probably #1), where would you put them.

I suppose Windblade would be 2, despite being rather recent, due to the promotion she got in the new 10's.

So next would be either Elita-1 or Chromia.

The trailer for Season Two of Earthspark:

I will say im hoping they arent going to Autobot V Decepticons who are trying to steal the dohicky.

I quite like how they humanized the Decepticons in season 1, I'd suck to have them just become the villains again.

Unavailable.

I can't believe Optimus Prime hates Canadians.

Canadians are the only sentient species with no right to freedom in Prime's book. They've had it too good for too long.

My link works in Canada.

Anyway, it looks like the human Malto kids aged up.

Yeah. Seems a bit of a time skip happened.
