Hot Take: In TFP Season 1 Episode 21 T.M.I They Say Come To Papa, Run To Mommy, AndSay Uncle!

Hot take: In TFP Season 1 Episode 21 T.M.I they say “Come to papa,” “Run to mommy,” and “Say uncle!”

This implies that Cybertronians can have parents and thus, by extension, can procreate. This ALSO means that Cybertronians would need to have the necessary “facilities” to do that. In conclusion, Transformers can have s*x. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Megatron’s “meet cute”

TFP HC: Family Ties

Was just listening to the Robots soundtrack and was reminded of the train station scene. Immediately thought of Ratchet, for some reason, particularly his attachment to Rafael in TFP. 

Ratchet’s connection to Raf was built on the kid’s ability to exceed all of his expectations. Ratchet had well founded pride in his species for their accomplishments and strength, but very little of the same pride in humans. In fact, he downright hated them in the beginning. But Rafael’s talent and meekness cut right through his rough exterior. While the old bot is quick to a temper and preferred to be alone, he still looked to Rafael when he needed help and would even keep him around a lot to assist him. Eventually, Raf became like a son to him, with whom he passed on some of his knowledge to make him smarter and wiser.

And speaking of family, I have to bring up Bumblebee. Rafael is the youngest in his family and has constant pressure to ace school to the point where he doesn’t have many friends aside from Jack and Miko. He gets talked over and most likely doesn’t get the chance to express himself much, if at all. Then he met Bumblebee who, like him, is the youngest on his squad and has pressure to be  a good scout/warrior while standing in the shadow of someone like Optimus Prime. But also like him, he has a limited voice, figuratively and very literally. Despite being so physically different, they became kindred spirits to one another, finally being heard for once.

You ever just listen to 1920s-50′s music and imagine your favourite ship slow dancing to jazz in a smoky nightclub setting?

I do.

Then, of course, there’s Miko. Extremely rowdy, loud, and rambunctious Miko. She probably had an incredibly hard time fitting in anywhere, in both Japan and in Jasper. Miko even mentions that she probably scares her host parents. But of all the bots, the only ones who can really handle her nonsense are the Wreckers.

Bulkhead, her guardian, is big and kind of a dimwit sometimes. But when it comes to Miko, he’s virtually on point. Even when her mischief gets her in a lot of trouble, Bulk is usually there to help get her out and keep her safe. He’ll give her a mild scolding, leaving the harsher stuff to Arcee or Optimus. Regardless, he’s careful with her. She’s small but a handful, always keeping him on his toes. If Ratchet is like Raf’s father, Bulk is most definitely Miko’s uncle. The “I don’t know how to take care of you, but I’m willing to learn” kind of uncle.

Then there’s Wheeljack, the “I don’t really care about the rules, let’s have fun” uncle. He gets into the thick of the trouble just like Miko does. Of course, there is a limit to how much he can actually let her get into without Bulkhead or the others losing their minds over it. If he had it his way, Miko would be allowed to get into just as much scrap as him. Aside from Bulk, he’s probably the only one who really lets her express herself without berating her for getting mad or being too loud. And when she’s all done and tuckered out, he makes sure she gets back to the others safely. Reckless, but a good uncle nonetheless.
