[TF Earthspark] Finally watched Age of Evolution 1 and 2 so spoilers
Treva
The fight with OP and Megs against the Seekers was 
Treva
And Mandroid's Howl's Castle ripoff
Treva
Animation and use of alt modes in fights was some good shit
Treva
I really like all of the Malto family too, which I'm happy about since normally I'm like Ew children at the human characters
Treva
But Dot and Alex are extra great lol
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
it was so hood
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
*good
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
also femmebot skywarp and nova storm are hot I did not know I needed it
Treva
YEAH I'm glad they are just saying "fuck it they whatever gender we want now"
Treva
But without being like "they need to SUPER LOOK LIKE GIRLS"
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
I'm also very very curiou about whatever is going on with Optimus
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
*curious
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
because everything about what is going on with him and GHOST comes across as Sus on both sides
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
hiding the Terrans, not being honest with GHOST while coming across as Super Committed to everyone else, letting Dot in on shit he definitely wasn't supposed to while pretending he's just This Funny Old Bot being Grandpa Awkward
Treva
I need to rewatch, but I didn't get sus vibes from OP too much 🤔
Treva
Aside from like... GHOST is hella sus and OP knows it but he feels like he doesn't have any other options? Was how it felt at first glance
Treva
Hiding the babies and Bee very much feels like he doesn't think he can trust them, but he needs this to work for reasons
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
yeah that's the thing. OP clearly feels like he's can't trust them but doesn't have another option and is thus like...doing quite a few things that undermine GHOST
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
*he can
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
*he can't
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
like the fact he showed Dot the detainment center and admits he's not supposed to. And also he's constantly doing the Dorky Grandpa thing where he's trying too hard to be relatable (the entire GHOST orientation, the finger guns to Agent Schloder in episode 9, etc)
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
I'm not sure it's entirely an act, but it does feel a bit like he lays it on thick and people underestimate him because of it
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
then he pulls out the moves during the seeker fight and formulates thoughtful plans to rescue megatron and dot and it's like "oh here's optimus."
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
(and dot seems to warm up to him more over the course of the episodes as she realizes there's More Going On that how she was originally judging Optimus)
Treva
YEAH he's for sure trying very hard to get the humans to like him
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
And Megatron twice kind of implies that Optimus sacrificed Something for the sake of earth/Cybertronians on Earth and I wonder if he's talking about taking out the space bridge or something else (potentially Matrix-shaped).
Treva
oh yeah he has mentioned that a few times
oh yeah he has mentioned that a few times
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
they dropped so many hints and subplots on us and i'm dying i want the answers
Kαтѕσηα 2024✰
we don't even know why everyone thinks bumblebee is dead and why optimus is so strict about no one finding out he's not
Treva
/shakes Hasbro until they give us more
