JSA Storytime: Transformers

The Vril Dox & Starscream intergalactic fetish club for ex-military dictators who want to get stepped on.

>>114951293It's so weird seeing Megatron in Lost Lights, but seeing him like this to Starscream

So WHY is this Liege faggot even that feared?Elita didn't even know Vigilem was still in Windblade and most bots would assume she will soon die anyway, so what the fuck is the problem with Liege? Just because he can tempt people? It's just a guy. Just punch him. I mean there must be more to him but so far he was just a normal dude that did less terrible stuff than 80% of the cast so far.

>>114951293Dammit, Starscream. Just can't get past your abusive boyfriend, huh. Also, obligatory 'ain't gonna suck itself' joke.

>>114951352For those who have not seen here is The Transformers: Monstrosity Storytime>>114940492The Transformers: Monstrosity is the sequel to Autocracy, and continues where that series left off, with the Autobots dealing with their freedom in the very early days of the war. The Dinobots take centre stage, on the run from the law as they attempt to steal the funds to escape Cybertron, while Scorponok usurps Megatron's seat of power following his defeat at the end of Autocracy.

>>114951293Poor Starscream. Even when he tries to do the right thing he gets screwed over.

>>114951131Almost feel sorry for him he tries so hard to be the powerful guy for once but now he even loses to a harmless girl despite being the ruler of the whole damn planet.

However you feel about SS you have to love that he's such a designated horny outlet for the fandom. You put a comically inept villaim with a voice like a dying Disney animatronic in your cartoon and 40 years later it's all heart eyes and cummy emojis.

>>114951352ahhhh, sometimes you just need "not subtle" in your comics

>>114951180You know outside of her being pushed I honestly at this point have no idea why some of the fandom doesn't like Windblade Also hi JSA!

>>114951324It's good IMO. Even if Megatron changed that doesn't automatically heal his victims. As last thread said it is a crying shame we don't get to see nuMegs and nuScreamer interact.

>>114951240>inb4 Starscream wins because he has million years of training in fighting inner conflicts

>>114951408The MegaScream relationship certainly delivers that...

>>114951408HI EVERYONE how are you this evening, I didn't get a walk in but I worked outside most of the day and got plants I'd ordered to plant tomorrow

>>114951408Fucking lmao, the switch just FLIPS when people write these scenes.

>>114951379Thanks for your contribution to making the board a better place user.

>>114951293>>114951294I was always a total fan of mental fights like these. Especially when they are depicted in some way.

>>114951408Especially during a battle of the mind plot. It's a good opportunity to have blatantly obvious symbolism and mix them with trippy imagery. Also, I think this is Windblade's first proper encounter with the Starcream/Megatron UST. >>114951397>there are multiple generations of people who are sexually attracted to Chris Latta's record scratch voice...

>>114951460I did a lot of slacking off. It's nice, but I'm caught between wishing the restaurants would reopen and praying desperately they'd stay tue course. Doubt it's feasible though, people need an income.

>>114951460I had pizza until I made myself sick, which is my ideal evening so I'm good

>>114951408Scott and Roche should coop on a comic once.

>>114951460Okay, aside from my brain being an uncooperative lump of barely functional grey matter, as usual. Otherwise, I've been thinking about how to translate classical fantasy character classes to a sci-fi setting, if not the physical attributes, then at least the basic concepts.

>>114951584McConnell wants to make it so companies can't be sued by employees for contracting the virus at the workplace. Stuff like that is why these companies need to sink.

>>114951568I was gonna be like this is Reylo before Reylo but actually it's pretty much concurrent.

>>114951611My friend and I are making a small game that's basically Final Fantasy 1 with the classes translated to superheroes. It's a fun thought exercise. I'd like to do the same for a sci-fi take on Dragon Quest 3 for our next project.

>>114951611Check out Stars Without Number and Starfinder maybe. The SWN guy has a cool Jack Vance/BotNS dying earth project going on too.

>>114951437It's probably the pushing combined by most writers simply not writing her very well. Idw2 is pretty great and most characters appearing there are better than their former versions imo but Windblade is just.. there. Kinda lame. She can be fully described by saying she is "one of the good guys" and if you didn't know her before you would probably forget her a volume later or something. A few bots have this even worse like Arcee and Elita in my opinion. Even Sentinel has more charisma than these two.

>>114951656I still can't believe people got so mad about Reylo happening but I saw it even though I got no investment in SW right now

>>114951584The bourseois will do everything they can to avoid giving the serfs even the smallest scraps, because they have been raised to see money as the only thing that matters. Ugh, corporate greed has got me talking like a damn commie. >>114951631Is he? This shit went far beyond parody years ago. Like, just the other day, Republicans started talking about how maybe the national deficit might be a problem. Naw, really? You can't make this shit up.

>>114951719The villainous abuse victim is saved my the humble outsider with a connection to something greater, Windscream is a really similar beat. And desu the Reylo fans disappointment and anti-Reylo rage were both off the charts.

>>114950991Oh dear. Does Windblade's brain surgery bring out a pervert streak?

I’m mad about Reylo cause they fucked up doing it so bad

>>114951442Yeah I give IDW a shitton of kudos for making Megatron good, siding with Megatrong, making Megatron basically the MC of one of the main series but never erasing the crimes of Megatron. Even the worst war criminals under him like Starscream or Overlord were confirmed to suffer from permanent mental damage because of him. Most series would take the easy way out and either make everybody including the victims forget about it if Megs is framed as the good guy or, if the author sides with the victims, make their crimes excusable instead and explain them away as reactions of abuse but idw doesn't do easy routes.

>>114951631> * is like a cartoon parody of a corrupt politicianThis is the new normalcy to be honest.

>>114951850The best thing to do is the commission James Roberts to write Rung meeting Windblade and then paying Alex to draw it

>>114951719I had basically no reaction to Reylo, because of course Star Wars would do the obvious, yet incredibly stupid thing. Frankly, the fucking force-teleportation is far more worth of scorn. And no, it's not because 'lol da force does whatever', it's because there should've been more of that glorious whackiness. If characters are gonna yammer on about the Force all the time, at least have them use it.

>>114951850Okay I absolutely get why there's so much fanfic on these two now.

>>114951888Same here. Even if I was into that pairing that scene was so sudden and ended so fast I doubt any shipper was happy with this. It was just shoved in to get some brownie points from these people. I personally would have prefered Rey with Finn if anything.

>>114952007Anyone else kinda want to live in a house with a giant Windblade head roof? Just me?

That's a great scene honestly. Starscream can't save Windblade, you can't beat manipulation with manipulation you just create more manipulation. But she takes the raw material of his desire to help, which he can't even admit to himself, and makes a new path with it to save both of them.

>>114951969The idea of Windblade giving the cold constructed ones their true bodies is way too interesting to be a 3-pages thing.Which body would Prowl have? Or all the others constructed cold. Would Megatron change his body too considering that the body was constructed?

>>114951944>>114951927Hi OP. Sorry I'm late.For the record, I'm hearing the Forging Song in my head while reading this.

>>114952244Oh is that what that isI thought it was basically "This is what you would have been like if you were a good person" since they change their bodies all the time, but that makes more sense

>>114952298It's probably both. Starscream wakign up in a body that wasn't naturally his and the effects it caused for his role and life in a functionist society that wouldn't allow change and also him being denied of becoming a good person for all the shit that happened around him and with him. He was a multi-criminal mastermind before he even met Megs so it's not just him, probably the world and functionism in general.

>>114952480With Starscream, nothing nice is ever selfless, and nothing selfless is ever nice.

>>114952349If you're wondering about the body change, it's because this is based on the Titans Returns toy which was out (buy now) I think

>>114952480Based Starscream

>>114952390>paints themselves the color of energonOh, we're actually acknowledging that transformers would logically have a different perception of the color pink. Cool. >>114952244Agreed, but I feel the obvious metaphor would attract yet more outrage tourists who care more about whining at the existence of different kinds of people than about interesting stories. ...

>>114953268Enh. Worst case scenario; Second Terms are usually quieter than first ones anyway.

>>114953204I mean, is it even worth making the joke? Saying Windblade is more qualified than our current choices is less an understatement, and more like stating the obvious.

>>114953173Man I feel unironically sorry for SS. He cannot stop fucking things up and losing and he knows that. Now he is getting better but that only makes him to deal with his shortcomics and constant losing instead of getting angry about this, this is sad. He deserves a happy end.

>>114953299Fuck, an issue of Transformers: Windblade would be more qualified, and it's a fucking comic book.I can't remember OP ever posting anything where Windblade advocated for injecting bleach.

>>114953300Ahh, yep! Here's the part where Windblade stays out drinking until the sun comes up ST!See, when I said that before you thought it was going to be her coping with Starscream's dickery that did it didn't you?Also, amusing note about the afformentioned TR Windblade, that toy got nicknamed 'Thiccblade' by fans due both to the chunkier proportions, and because the odd hip assembly made her legs hang a lot wider than normal.People drew fanart of this (pic related).

>>114953639While IDW Rattrap is definitely a different from BW Rattrap, he's not as off as you might think. I remember a lot of people complaining when he tortured Windblade in her first book, but BW Rattrap was interested in the idea of a "Maximal torture chamber" when Dinobot thought he was in one.

>>114953730Ah, I remember laughing my ass off at this part the first time I read this."Oh great, so Starscream is on a redemption arc now and we're all supposed to like him?""NOPE! Starscream making some attempts at being a better person is still Starscream, still huge asshole, still done nearly as many awful things as Megatron!"

I wish I had BumbleJesus as ghost around me that talks to me and tries to help me becoming a less terrible person.

>>114953715(Not really relavant to IDW Rattrap but just a reminder: BW Rattrap canonically frequented Cybertronian titty bars)

>>114953708Thank you.

>>114953757She really does--it's an excellent balance of cartoony, expressive, and still on model. It has a nice looseness to it.Speaking of, I should try to take some pix of the Milne page I own because seeing the inks up close is really something, he's an astonishing inker of his own work

>>114953822>*first time in his life

>>114953826Murder of people she was trying to get information from under Starscream's orders, and brainwashing of the Combaticons.

>>114953848>He's trying so hard!There is something really comfy and relatable about evil guys or guys that fucked up hart in the past trying to get better. I wish it was more common for MCs.

>>114953848>Maybe THAT'S why people don't like WindbladeWhen it's not people going 'Ree why are they pushing this character!?!?' it's almost always someone throwing a fit about her being 'Abusive to Starscream' in some way or another, so... probably?

>>114953892This clearly isn't abusive, but it's tragic and kind of fucked up. She showed him the bot he could have been (in every sense) and he's SINCERELY TRYING to become that (in the moral sense) and then she slams the door in his face.

I think that was the thread where someone said they would pop into the final Lost Light thread so we could apologize to them for constantly saying "we won't judge it's bad till we read it"

Is this the part where we all get sappy and sincere, and start talking about how we keep each other sane? Cause we've been doing that a more and more often lately. Not that I mind, just don't want to get repetitive. >>114954121It's okay. To be fair, Holla Forums has weird arbitrary standards when it come to most storytimes. We're anomalous due to the high amount of actual talking we do. Again, don't mind, cause it means we're not a bunch of being fucks at least.

>>114954262im already gone i put my two weeks in and got a week left I just needed something to last through my old jobs furlough

>>114954070... I was definitely one of the dissenting voices that cautioned people to tamper their expectations after the highs that MTMTE reached. And I still hold to my opinion that Lost Light is still alot of wasted potential (I actually liked how it ended though) even before it got truncated. But I accept that people will approach the material with different contexts and mindsets and thus may have their own more favourable opinion of it. The caution we gave out was more to soften any potential blow for anyone going in with a different set of expectations, not an active discouragement to continue.

>>114954090>I'm really proud of the weird group of posters we've accumulated here over the yearsYeah, can't say I agree with you lot 'bout everything.Personally I still don't like Lost Light for example, it just didn't have that same spark of charisma that MTMTE had for me.But I feel less like I'll get a lynch mob after me for going against the grain here than most places... but maybe that's just the result of me spending too many years on Webforums populated by assholes who spent their time crafting ways to appear charismatic and intellegent when tearing into people for having different tastes instead of learning the slightest iota of tolerance. Not having to make every single post into a robust and articulate multi-paragraph essay so I don't get either ignored or have a wandering Debate Lord after me is really nice.

>>114954293>>114954298It's partly that we're actively trying to be chill with dissenting opinions (like one of you said, that's rare), and partly that most of the dissenters including you two are being tactful.

>>114954540arent they missing one

>>114954540>>114954449If they can't harmonize they can't combineAnd Onslaught just found out Blast-Off was raping him for the past month

>>114954378On 4chan maybe, but the places I tend to frequent have a very different culture, and a lot of the TF fans who hang around there are either ancient grognards (most of whom are practically orthogonal to the whole thing in my experience), or leftovers of the 'OMG GAYS!' crowd that showed up when a bunch of articles about the existence of Chromedome and Rewind dropped. Those ones I always felt the need to tread carefully around (and really just keep my mouth shut on the topic) lest I get accusations of bigotry flung at me for saying I thought Anode was an asshole (which, well, she is... and apparently that's why some of you like her? I don't get it).But anyway, I really do love TAAO, and honestly out of the whole lot I think this one's ending is the one I liked the most.Shame Unicron happens like less than two weeks after this in-universe, even when she wins Windblade must suffer.

>>114954449Out of every team, this one seems least likely to combine. Yes, including the dead ones.This, though: >>114954461Oof.

>>114954437I know. You shouldn't. >>114954491The best part is that I don't even care about the toys. Heh heh!

Ironically, she's not enough of an asshole, considering the crew she joined.

>>114954628Agreed, but even then I feel like if Roberts was just allowed the full 50 issues he would have made us like her by the end

>>114954655I know what weird flick to put on the "Suggestion Notebook" of my local Microcinema now.

>>114954713I actually liked her first appearance, what with being impaled and talking to herself.It was the bazaar arc that made me go eh and like it's mentioned thats where the trans thing happened so forget mentioning that ever

>>114954281You sure you don't want to go with the proven successful "Aayatolah" and "Caravans Underborder"?

>>114953892I can understand, but disagree with, people who don't like Windblade's inclusion in everything.I am BAFFLED by people who hate her inclusion in everything because they don't understand why it's done. Being including in everything is L I T E R A L L Y the entire point of Windblade's existence. She was created as a celebration of the brand's uninterrupted 30 years of production, as a new franchise mainstay.

>>114954754It probably didn't help She managed to resurrect her girl friend no strings attached while people were still hung up on everyone who died the prior arc, especially with Nautica mourning over Skids in the Bazaar arc.

if anyone is looking for plays to watch, the Stratford Festival has put up Macbethyoutube.com/watch?v=CWg08tJsxGIand it looks like The Tempest is coming on Friday. It's not their production with Christopher Plummer though>>114954835that would likely get you banned fast. Is Designated Dave around? I don't do twitter so I don't know what that was about, but he knows how to stream stuff

>>114954754She was fine at first, and had potential, but she ended up being too innocent for her character archetype. Being the innocent one among a group of broken war veterans was Nautica's shtick. It doesn't help that she ultimately didn't contribute much overall. She was just kinda there, and that's a shame. Also, the bit where she explains that she's trans is, again, four panels. I could not begin to care less that Anode is trans. Fuck, even the guy she was explaining this to in the scene responded with "Huh. But anyway...". I desperately need the bigoted outrage tourists to shut up.

>>114954790Personally I feel like it would probably be lobbied at her less if she didn't suffer from a severe case of Wonder Woman syndrome (has a solid character, but writers can't be bothered to check what she's supposed to be like and just write her like whatever), if her first appearence in animation hadn't been bloody Combiner Wars, I think she'd have had a much smoother road, as it is, non-comic readers only got a really decent version of Windblade with Cyberverse.

>>114954790I found that initial media push kind of obnoxious at first but she definitely grew on me, I really liked her after her own mini and now years later I can't imagine not liking her.

Is it wrong that I actually LIKE toyetic elements in stories? >clear, well defined personalities>easily identifiable factions, complete with logos>each character has their own set of personal abilities>tons of accessories and personalized vehiclesYes, these elements are already broadly present in fiction, but stuff that's meant to sell shit to you will emphasize them for maximum advertising. And for some reason, I find that emphasis almost comforting in a way.

>>114955375>It's always a double whammy when a minority fucks up because the type of people who post the four Anode panels will take it as a chance to crow about how "inferior" the minority is.Reminds me of the New Warriors Fart Gas thing.'f course, if I remember right that one had people bending over backwards to make this the fault of everyone but the minority author behind that one (on Twitter, of course), so I think it cuts both ways. People are people after all, and writers aren't any better or worse just because of who they are.... Unless who they are is Karen Traviss. She has a natural -30 to Authorship checks.

>>114955464is traviss the one who made that really boring hyper realistic joe run?

>>114955443It's not wrong, no. As for the why, it seems to be more comfortable for people on the spectrum. At the very least, I've heard that from some spectrum people and find it to be so for myself, and I may be on the spectrum.Not to say that you are, mind.

>>114955443Not sure really, part of me wants to make a joke that you're brainwashed by commercialism but I don't think that's it. I think it comes from Nostalgia, old made-to-sell-toys cartoons you have fond memories of when you were a kid or something.

>>114955536Nah, I probably am. It would explain some things. >>114955568>Mando wankI almost want to read those books, if only because this IDW rabbit hole we've been diving into has taught me that angry fans are often talking out of their ass. Then again, it IS Star Wars, so it probably is really fucking stupid.

>>114955854The New New Warriors is so tone deaf, especially with Snowflake. Okay, 1) no, you ain't "taking it back" with that name. Fuck off. 2) Have none of these fucks even so much as SEEN an non-binary person? Cause it might help to do a bit of research before making such a character.

>>114955875I haven't been over there much at all the past few months, even before the world got corona'd I wasn't doing a ton of toy shopping so I kind of fell off the general for a while.

I don't need to know what they're doing, it ain't got nothin to do with me anyway.

>>114956073Is he? I heard someone involved with the production was, and I didn't feel like it was worth it to look any further into it.Not like I need names of the people behind it to laugh about rediculous stuff like the vampire kid or the super lame backpack power. Or Internet Gas.

>>114956034Well fuck that. If they want gritty realism, they can go suck of the COD teat some more. I will never understand this attitude that gritty=better. >People got mad at Renegades for giving the Joes laser blasters and fighting goo monsters instead of shooting regular people with bullets.No shit people are dumb. It was actually a plot point that the Joes got the lasers, cause they were experimental Cobra weapons that they picked up. Also, the goo monsters ruled. >>114956142>The way I see it, it's best just to leave 'em be and let them be themselves. I don't need to know what they're doing, it ain't got nothin to do with me anyway.That is a wise and extremely healthy attitude. If only it were more common.

>>114956034The GI Joe Classified reveal was the first time I was ever exposed to GI Joe autism because of how loud and insane it fucking was. Fucking people coming out of the woodwork to say THIS ISN'T WHAT WILL SELL, THEY SHOULD BE SIX INCH VERSIONS OF THE 80S TOYS, THE 80S TOYS LOOK BETTER, HASBRO IS SABOTAGING THE LINE BEFORE IT EVEN COMES OUT as if Hasbro would spend hundreds of thousands to try and relaunch a toy line knowing it would fail, or to "attack" old fans who they're most likely hoping would have enjoyed a new version of the same old shit.Like, those people deserve a dead franchise.

>>114956256I've said it before back when we were discussing Revolution, but man fuck GI Joe fans, they make my sperg ass look like a well adjusted individual and the pinnacle of intellegence.Seriously, if they aren't milshits clamoring for CoD the Toyline, they're brainlets so stupid they think that the only way Revolution could have been better was if it included Pastel Horses who hijacked the plot.

>>114955958I'm still looking for Earthrise Optimus whenever I go to Target (I wear a mask don't worry)I regret not having money when he was $40 on Amazon

>>114956256>>114956290>>114956034They were so mad

>>114956256That's the thing, angry fantards are always, without fail, under the impression that anything they don't like is a specific attack on them. It's fucking pathetic.Not everything is about you, people. You make 80s Scarlett sad.

>>114956346... Now I've got to do Cancer Calculus to figure out if this or brainlets who constantlly write up crossover fanfiction that can be succinctly described as 'Revolution, but with even more unwanted and unnedeeded junk thrown in, and a fixation on Horse Show because of course' are the worst form of GI Joe fans.Personal experience biases me towards the latter ('MISSILES SHOULD BE LIKE PUNCHES! YOU JUST WANT YOUR STUPID ROBOTS TO BE INVINCIBLE WAAAAH!' ugh), but I can't even divine the source of the salt in that, only that it is *powerful*.

>>114956172Yeah, good monsters is a great twist on the "bad guy robots" trope that lets your heroes kill mooks with Saturday morning morality, AND it let them have gnarly hard to kill mutant John Carpenter's The Things.>>114956256>THIS ISN'T WHAT WILL SELL, THEY SHOULD BE SIX INCH VERSIONS OF THE 80S TOYSYeah, there are a lot of Joe fans who literally who hate everything that isn't the first like four years of the 80s toyline.>>114956290I deeply love the GI Joe franchise, but the fandom is a terrific example of a godawful trashfire of a fan base.

>>114956441Sadly...every franchise has toxic elements.

>>114956504Some more than others. The Voltron Legendary Defender fanbase has mostly disbanded, but it remains a potent cautionary tale.

>>114956256They killed it last time when they were updating the other figures bitching about the scale changing slightly.Which then caused the line to become a Web Only Exclusive and shell out thirty bucks a figure at least. Really wanted a Sgt Slaughter and complete my Dreadnoks set.

>>114956346>has to change literally everything but the bracers, kneepads, and shoulder guard to make his "point">somehow doesn't realize he's retarded

>>114956441>Yeah, there are a lot of Joe fans who literally who hate everything that isn't the first like four years of the 80s toyline.Same with Transformers... God I would kill for a Generations of this guy

>>114954415Dammit, this better all be part of some larger mater plan. Starscream going from an amazing manipulative dickhead to humble redemption guy is such an uninteresting turn, especially when he's being replaced with the designated waifu. All of the happenings on Cybertron were more or less held up by watching him gleefully manipulate and screw people over on a path for a better future. I can't imagine anything Windblade does will be nearly as interesting.

>>114954415Anyone know if there's a Forged Starscream toy?

I'm just here cause i wanna fuck robo girls

>>114956982I'm sorry user

>>114954415Aw man ;_;

>>114956640I actually prefer this - morally, at least - to Megs' heel-turn. Like Megatron kinda got a random position of leadership and respect and stuff even though he's probably one of the universe's greatest war criminals. Moving from a position of power to a position of power isn't the best remedy for abuse of power, even though we got a well-written redemption. Starscream HAS to give it up, HAS to put others before himself, has to CHOOSE to become powerless. All that is the opposite of what he's chosen and done wrong with for so many years.I don't read him as humble redemption guy. He's still Starscream, still as psychologically fucked-up and aggressive but... he made a genuine choice to be better at great personal cost. Maybe that's how forged Starscream would've turned out, a hero.Overall I probably prefer the Megatron line because it's more consistently written. Sometimes Starscream just comes over as an idiot in these plots but to be fair when it's done good it's REALLY good.

>>114958225Also something something Megatron had a point to prove and a driving ideology and fought on a technicality when that was threatened over he, personally, being threatened. Starscream is completely self-serving so him fully accepting defeat is more fitting.Also also it's important that it is accepting defeat. Megatron had his chance to go back when the Decepticons mounted their rescue. Starscream's back was against the wall here, but do we really think he was out of options or it was the worst situation he's ever been in? Of course not. Each of them chooses to let their former self be defeated rather than prolong the misery.

Also also also it's good that Windblade's victory over Starscream is a moral one, rather than her out-scheming him. It's a bit convenient that it all gets dumped in her lap with someone else doing the dirty work but hey.

>>114953953Apparently Vortex is a shipper.

>>114959678I like his little fist bump, "Good for you Windblade!"

Was curious if Scott had any opinions on the similarity of the Starblade/Windscream ship to Reylo so looked it up:twitter.com/MairghreadScott/status/1159877204055973893IMO like she draws lines but the other person's argument is solid and the dynamic is very similar.
