BRIEF TED TALK - OPTIMUS PRIME CHARACTERIZATION 

BRIEF TED TALK - OPTIMUS PRIME CHARACTERIZATION 

Despite my obvious preference for the character design in Age of Extinction/The Last Knight ; I really do not like the movies nor am I overly fond of Optimus’ characterization. I enjoy him displaying his emotions more, understanding his anger, but the entire hopelessness and thirst for vengeance we see in AOE? That is something wholly NOT Optimus.

After millennia of fighting, it never crippled his belief in good and the capacity for change. This core belief was the reason he was chosen to be a Prime. He has the right to be enraged at the treatment of his brethren but it doesn’t negate the fact that, really, the Cybertronian war has cost thousands of innocent people on Earth their lives.

Transformers Prime Optimus is more understanding in the sense that he knows Earth didn’t want to be thrown into this centuries long combat. He never lost sight of the fact that rage & revenge have no place in a JUST society. Of course, there were times he was frustrated, believing killing Megatron to be the only solution at one point, but his innate sense of justice never faded ; his belief that ‘every sentient being possesses the capacity for change’ never left him. 

TFP!Optimus is the superior one, to be perfectly honest. 

So yeah, the anger is warranted but Optimus is not a character driven by a need for revenge ; Bay’s movies kind of diminished his entire stance on wishing to protect the innocent & his ultimate goal of ending the war so Earth and the remaining Cybertronians can live in peace.

Sparks

You didn’t understand why Winston insisted on you and Genji doing missions together. At first, you were just confused. Genji was fast, and agile, and quiet. And you, while fast enough you suppose, were loud and conspicuous. Genji was a quiet breeze that swept in the storm clouds and you were quite literally the lightning that followed. Flash shouldn’t follow subtlety.

But Genji was so kind, and so gentle, and so encouraging. You became confused about other things. About Life. About Luck. About Love.

You tried really hard not to think about love.

Cayde-6 Dating A Warlock {HC’s}

-How you haven’t killed him is mystery -He constantly asks you questions about everything from Ikora to when the universe is going to end. -The Hunters have taught you more than you ever wished to know about Cayde and honestly, it is a little scary how much they know about him. -When you meditate you will either be sitting on him while he buries his face in your hair or robe or he will be laying on you taking a nap.  -Cayde likes to give gifts when he can’t give physical affection so he makes bonds for you out of things that he found in the wilds. Your favorite one is a bond that he created out of the materials of his arm that he lost in the red war. -Ikora approves of your relationship saying that you keep him grounded and focused. -Zavala, however, doesn’t. He prefers to have his fellow vanguard one hundred percent present instead of worrying about you while you are off with one of his hunters. This causes a rift between you and him while Cayde seems unaware of the small battle occurring right under his nose.  -He loves to read with you whether it be a trashy romance novel or one of your more informational books he just wants to relax and spend time with you.

FLORENCE CASTLE’S HEROES OF CYBERTRON - EP. 07: OPTIMUS PRIME (1)

Poiché il soggetto in questione è una vera e propria leggenda nella Hall of Fame dei Transformer, la puntata di oggi è particolarmente molto lunga, per cui la suddividerò in più parti.

NOTA: Alcune immagini non sono mie, ma vengono dal sito DeviantArt. Articolo scritto da me, con l'approvazione di @jazzluca.

***

PUNTATA 7: OPTIMUS PRIME, prima parte.

L’inizio: Commander e i suoi Autorobot

Ormai senza di lui non esisterebbero gli Autobot, come non esisterebbero gli Avengers senza Capitan America, la Justice League senza Superman... o Mass Effect senza il comandante Shepard. E poi, siamo onesti: come si fa a non resistere alla vista di quel bel camion rosso e blu col rimorchio bianco al seguito, che si trasforma in un colosso di dieci metri spesso armato di fucile a ioni e ascia energetica (o lame gemelle retrattili, fate voi), e col volto perennemente coperto da una maschera? In quante occasioni almeno una volta lo avete sentito pronunciare frasi memorabili quali l’immortale «La libertà è un diritto di ogni essere senziente» o la più moderna «Uno resterà in piedi, l’altro cadrà»? E c’è stata forse una volta in cui, prima di entrare in azione, non abbia mai ordinato ai suoi compagni: «Autobot, trasformatevi e in marcia!» con l’inconfondibile vocione americano di Peter Cullen o del nostro rispettabilissimo Diego Reggente? Ovviamente no! Sarebbe un sacrilegio per noi fan che in trentacinque anni abbiamo seguito le sue avventure sulla Terra (e non solo) in ogni media esistente!

Che abbiate esultato per ogni piano dei Decepticon che ha fermato insieme ai suoi Autobot, fatto il tifo per lui nei millemila scontri all’ultimo sangue contro Megatron, o addirittura versato fiumi di lacrime quando avete assistito alla sua morte nel film animato del 1986, il nome di OPTIMUS PRIME è e sarà sempre associato al coraggio, autosacrificio, e un indomabile spirito combattivo; un guerriero sempre pronto a dare la propria vita nel proteggere gli esseri senzienti, organici o sintetici che siano.

***

Per i Decepticon questo potrebbe essere il Giorno del Giudizio...

Adesso qualche ex bimbo italiano degli anni ‘80 starà sicuramente strabuzzando gli occhi e facendo spallucce mentre si chiede: «Optimus... chi?!?». Logico, visto che all’epoca in Italia era conosciuto come Commander e oggi quella fetta di fan lo ricorda ancora con quel nome. Curiosamente, però, quella parola all’apparenza scelta a caso dalla GIG potrebbe probabilmente derivare da uno dei tre moduli di cui è composto il personaggio: “Commander” è, infatti, il modulo centrale rappresentato dal robot stesso per cui, tutto sommato, non ha torto. E così, superata la barriera del nome, conosciamo meglio questo Bot a partire dalle sue origini narrative e non da quelle animate, perché ci sono pervenute la bellezza di ben dodici versioni diverse di Optimus nel corso della sua chilometrica carriera multimediale.

Ratchet e Soundwave (in alto) e Orion Pax e Megatronus (in basso) durante l'anteguerra di Cybertron

La mia origin story preferita – nonché quella che personalmente reputo la più coerente – è la versione della Continuità Allineata, raccontata persino da Ratchet nella serie TRANSFORMERS: Prime del 2010. Esattamente come ci viene narrato nell’episodio L’Alba della Guerra della Stagione 2 G1, Optimus Prime da ragazzo si chiamava Orion Pax, un timidissimo e umile Bot che lavorava non come un operaio navale come nella G1 ma come archivista e allievo di Alpha Trion. Lo stesso robot decano che, nella puntata di cui sopra, ripara i feriti Orion Pax e la sua fidanzatina Ariel (vittime di un’imboscata di Megatron) riconvertendoli nelle rispettive versioni “adulte” che conosciamo. Tutto ciò accadde nei – per così dire – “secoli bui” di Cybertron, una sorta di Medioevo in cui politiche inefficaci e una corruzione sempre più soffocante avevano creato enormi diseguaglianze sociali. Un giorno, ispirato dalle parole di un ex gladiatore di nome Megatron, Orion Pax pose un freno all’oppressivo sistema a caste che schiacciava la libertà di ogni essere senziente. I due erano fratelli come gli dei Zeus e Ade, così uguali ma così diversi – al punto di dividersi tragicamente una volta che Megatron rivelò le sue vere intenzioni all’Alto Consiglio, cioè usare la forza per rovesciare i leader del pianeta. Questo, in soldoni, è il germe della leggendaria Guerra per Cybertron, immortalata nei videogiochi del dinamico duo Activision/High Moon Studios e nella recente serie animata Netflix omonima.

FLORENCE CASTLE’S HEROES OF CYBERTRON - EP. 07: OPTIMUS PRIME (1)

Un background decisamente più elaborato, crudo e oscuro e meno tagliato con l’accetta del triplice episodio pilota della G1 Molto più di quel che appare, in cui comunque apprendiamo che è stato lo stesso Optimus Prime a deviare la traiettoria dell’Arca mentre precipita sulla Terra e si schianta sul monte St. Hilary. E, prima di questo, è stata sua la dolorosa scelta di accettare il fardello della Matrice del Comando (diventando così “l’ultimo dei Prime”) e di abbandonare l’ormai inabitabile Cybertron: «La guerra è perduta. – dice Optimus a Bumblebee all’inizio di La Caduta di Cybertron – Lasciare la nostra casa è stata la decisione più sofferta che io abbia mai preso». E del “come” il nostro Commander abbia impedito a Megatron di vincere la guerra civile sulla Terra e di sprofondare l’universo nel caos esistono diverse versioni, dalla più pragmatica a quella più macabra... ma andiamo con ordine.

Adesso chi è quello vero?!?

Essendo amante delle trame più votate a esplorare la psicologia dei personaggi, ho deciso di selezionare alcune puntate G1 in cui Optimus Prime è il fulcro della storia: ricordo ad esempio La Città d’Acciaio, in cui il poveretto viene catturato e letteralmente smembrato dai Constructicon e i pezzi vengono riciclati come armi per difendere la nuova torre Decepticon a New York. In seguito diventa la preda ambita da un losco signorotto in Bersaglio: Optimus Prime ed è persino costretto a confrontarsi con un suo clone in Un Problema per Optimus Prime. A parte queste prove fisiche, ci sono state puntate in cui il nostro ha dimostrato una sensibilità e un amore umani verso i suoi cari che mi ha davvero commosso... e non c’è da stupirsi che i fan lo osannino spesso come la figura paterna perfetta!

Possiamo solo scioglierci guardando questa scena...

In La pazzia degli Autobot Optimus e altri suoi compagni vengono alterati da un dispositivo “distorci-personalità” di Megatron, e quando Bumblebee riesce con successo a rinsavire il comandante, questi lo ringrazia con un caloroso abbraccio. Alla ricerca di Alpha Trion invece segna l’esordio delle Fembot e la loro capitana Elita One rischia la Scintilla dopo aver salvato Optimus Prime da un tragico destino; proprio lui si dispera per le condizioni della collega, lasciando intendere un implicito interesse amoroso per lei.

Solo tu puoi interfacciarti con lei...

Il suo canto del cigno avviene nel film del 1986, in cui assistiamo all’ultimo duello tra i capi delle rispettive fazioni, alla fine del quale escono entrambi distrutti... in tutti i sensi. Mentre un gravemente danneggiato Megatron sarà riconvertito in Galvatron per mano di Unicron, Optimus Prime (come ho detto all’inizio) spira davanti agli occhi degli sconvolti amici Autobot e degli altrettanto sconvolti spettatori: il suo corpo si ingrigisce, gli occhi si spengono, e la sua Scintilla si estingue un attimo dopo aver sussurrato una frase che in futuro diverrà un celebre marchio di fabbrica soprattutto degli Autobot: «Finché tutti sono uno». Per quanto all’epoca per gli addetti ai lavori fosse stata solo una mera scelta di marketing per promuovere la nuova linea di giocattoli in imminente uscita, per noi fan la morte di Optimus fu come se una parte di noi fosse morta con lui. E fu un vero shock rivederlo come zombi in quella che considero la puntata più struggente e inquietante di tutta la Stagione 3 G1, la cui trama avrebbe dato i natali a un certo personaggio del Bayverso: Risveglio Oscuro, nel quale il cadavere dell’ex Comandante Autobot viene addirittura corrotto dai Quintesson per farne una pedina in un piano per attirare gli Autobot di Rodimus Prime in una trappola mortale.

Fa più paura lui che il Nemesis Prime di L'Ultimo Cavaliere é___è

may i have some blackwatch genji angst with a fem! reader?? like she always feels so sorry for him (HAVE YOU HEARD SOME OF THE VOICELINES IN THE NEW EVENT???LIKE...MY HEART ;^;)

Blackwatch!Genji

His first reaction is of course, to get angry. Genji absolute refused to be pitied, not by anyone but especially not be you. He hates the way people look at him with sad eyes and ask if it hurts.

It does.

A lot.

And he doesn’t need people to remind him.

As much as he tries to brush it off there’s something about the way you look at him that makes him furious. Like no matter what he did you could only see some half formed freak who needed sympathy.He begins to wonder if you would look at him differently if he wasn’t like this.

Eventually he learns to accept that your concerns are different than Angela’s clinical intrigue or Moira’s scientific fascination. Yours was genuine. When you asked how he was you meant him, not whatever mechanical parts that were tacked onto his body. Its not long before he finds himself growing attached, finding it easy to voice his feelings to you on a level he never could with the others around him.

Genji being scared of a thunderstorm? (Blackwatch era?)

!WARNING! This work contains anxiety attacks. 

                          𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝙲𝚊𝚗 𝙻𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚗 𝙵𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝙰 𝚂𝚝𝚘𝚛𝚖

image

Staring out the window in wonder, whilst keeping an eye on the monitor for all your patients, you silently hoped that everyone was sleeping soundly. 

This storm had raged on, and only a select few could go on missions at the moment. Mainly the more important ones, such as supply runs and thwarting talon missions. 

Spinning in your office chair, you took another sip of coffee, you managed to convince Angela to take the night off since she had taken the night shift the day before. It didn’t matter much to you, sure, you were tired. But that didn’t mean you couldn’t work. Angela tended to work until she broke. And as a medic, that was not something you couldn’t risk Angela falling asleep on the job. There were too many people to patch up, too many kids (young adults really, you called them kids as an inside joke) getting themselves hurt trying to be a hero, and some actually becoming heroes, diving in front of a bullet to save civilians, a friend, or someone else of importance. 

You sigh deeply, taking another sip of your coffee, it's still hot, thanks to the coffee machine being only a few feet away. At the moment, you're scrolling through your phone as well, playing a few time burner games that you downloaded to make this shift less boring. 

However, it seems that whatever has control over destiny thinks differently, as you hear one of the beeping noises increase rapidly. 

It flashes red at you, this could be a sign of many things. Fear, Panic, Maybe even...ew. You remembered the first time you walked in on a patient doing that in the middle of the night. 

You pull your lab coat onto your shoulders, grabbing a medkit, and rushing down the hall. 

Typing the code for the room, the door slides open, and you see a familiar, yet sweaty cyborg on the bed, clutching his shoulders, almost in a self hug. 

You can see that his knuckles are white on his fleshy hand, and his metal one is digging into the flesh of his still intact arm. 

You hear him breathing heavily and rapidly. Panic Attack. Another flash of lightning fills the room, and he seems to panic more, jumping at it and his breathing becomes even faster, heavier than before.

You softly place the medical kit on the table farthest from him.

“Genji?”

No reply, however, his eyes flick up to you, before they turn back to the ground. 

That was a good sign at least, he wasn’t too wrapped up in his head at the moment. You may be able to calm him down quicker than the other doctors have.

“Genji, I need you to count down from ten.”

Genji gives no reply at first, before his eyes clench cut, muttering something under his breath so quiet that you barely hear it. 

“Genji, what do you need right now?”

He is silent at first, before shaky fingers gesture to the window. 

You turn to the window at the opposite end of the room, slowly, you walk over and press a button next to the window, instantly the noise from outside is no more, and a dark black shade draws over it.

The room is dark for a moment before the lights slowly turn on, then again, it's not like you’d need them, Genji’s LEDs would light the room up anyways. 

You turn to him, see Genji, his breathing less labored, still in a panic mode, but thankfully not as bad as before. You were certain if Genji didn’t tell you about the window, he would’ve passed out. 

“You’re safe here Genji,” You say so softly. “You’re alright, it's just the thoughts that are doing this, nothing else.”

He still doesn’t reply, eyes blown wide and still clutching himself, but his breathing has slowed a tad bit more, you’re a bit closer now, and you can see that he’s trembling. 

“I’m here, Genji.” 

No reply again, but you don’t expect one either. 

“Just keep breathing,” A pause. “Can you count to ten again?” 

Genji’s eyes slam shut, and his head falls into his arms, but you can still hear him breathing, there are breaks between his breaths, you know he’s counting. 

It takes about ten minutes for him to calm down, throughout it, you’re there, coaxing him, occasionally rushing outside to silence any rowdy recruits that returned from missions. But you’re there. 

The second time you turn, his breathing has returned to normal, his face is drenched with sweat and tears, his hair sticking to his forehead. He avoided your gaze, refused to acknowledge your presence, and you don’t hear a thank you from him either, not that you care of course. 

Genji says something softly under his breath. Maybe a thank you. 

You turn to the medicine kit, grabbing alcohol pads and a few bandaids, as you see the area where his metal hand was gripping his shoulder is bleeding.

His eyes are wide and wild, he seems ready to attack you, slit your throat, but he looks like that all the time, that’s what the other doctors say. In all honesty, you did too. You were terrified of him, you weren’t confrontational, more passive unlike some of the other doctors. You heard the news of when Genji had first woken up when he learned what they had done. He was so angry. So many doctors were injured, not that he had done it on purpose, purely accidents, he didn’t want to hurt anybody on purpose. It was when Angela started to treat him that he calmed down. She was strong, yet so kind and gentle that it even managed to sweep Genji off his feet, you remembered that one week that Genji had a crush on her. 

It faded afterward, you fixed his prophetic every now and then, mainly oiling and helping him maintain them. 

It was often moments like this that you thought what could’ve happened to this man, this young man, who could’ve thought to this to someone so young. Staring at his scars in wonder. You learned not to stare too long, he took it wrong and told you to leave.

But your hands come to his arm anyways, he flinches, just as he usually does, you don’t even get to look for assurance before he relaxes. 

The pad is placed on his shoulder, he watches you work, his eyes never leaving the wound you’re treating. 

The small band-aids are placed down.

“Better, right?” You ask.

He nods slowly. Fingertips briskly touching the bandaids. His hand falls to his lap. 

“I’m sorry,” A pause. “For waking you.”

You raise an eyebrow. “You didn’t wake me Genji, I was on shift.” 

Genji doesn’t say anything after that. 

“If...you don’t mind me asking...was it one of those nightmares again?”

Genji looks at you, then shakes his head. 

“It was the storm wasn’t it?” 

He is silent, but you see his eyes flicking back and forth. Slowly, he nods his head. 

“Alright, next time, I’ll remember to tell the doctors to close the window-”

“I can handle it.”

You stare. 

“Genji, you had an anxiety attack, because of the storm?”

Genji scoffs. “So? It happened once, I’ve been fine other times.” 

“Genji, I’ve treated plenty of patients, it doesn’t just happen once, it’s a trigger.” You pause. “I know that you tend to let your mind get the best of you-”

“I let no such thing happen!” He snaps, eyes narrowing. 

You shake your head. “Either way, I’d keep the window closed, at least until the storm has passed.” 

Genji doesn’t reply, even after you pack up your med kit and leave the room. The door shuts, and you let a sigh escape your lips. 

                                                          _

“The storm?” Angela asks the next morning. You shake off sleep yet again. 

“Yep, figured it was because of it,” You pause. “He asked me to close the window while in the middle of it.”

Angela sighs. “Well, you were right about it being a trigger.” A pause, from her this time. “When his brother attempted to...kill him...I remember it storming heavily.” 

You raise an eyebrow.

“So..” A yawn escapes you. “He’s fine in small storms, but heavier ones he isn’t?” 

Angela shrugs. “I suppose, he will not tell me the specifics. I doubt he ever will,” She sighs. “But, I do not want to pressure him either, I’m glad you were able to help him.”

You shake your head. “Ah, it was nothing really. Better than having to patch up Mcree. Acts like he’s facing the execution block when I ask him what’s wrong.” 

Angela stifles back a laugh. “Since we’re on the topic of Mcree, he and Genji have been getting along fairly well.”

You blink.

“No way, really?”

Angela nods. “Genji surprisingly talks to him, he hasn’t uttered a word to me, unless it's a thank you, or to yes and no questions. You’ve fared a little better is what I hear. But Genji speaks to Mcree in full sentences!”

You smile. “Well that’s good, he’s probably doing a little better if that’s the case.” 

Angela sighs. “I hope so.” 

You slowly get up from the table, stretching. “Well, I’m gonna head to bed, see you tomorrow Angela.”

“Goodnight (Y/N), and sleep well.”

You turn the corner, walking down the hall, waving at a few med-bay regulars before you come to your room. The door slides open, and you fall onto your bed. However, you hear shuffling next to you. 

Your head is picked up before bright green fills your vision, and your eyes widen, nearly falling off the bed. 

It's long, glowing brightly, and...it places a small mushroom into your lap??? 

You give the creature a look before it drifts away, disappearing quickly. Staring at the small mushroom in your lap, you look around the room. You can stay up for twenty more minutes.

You rush down the hall with the mushroom in hand. Carefully not to damage or drop it. You come to the gardens, finding a few cooks gathered. 

“Hey, Bart, look at this!” 

Bart, the tall, large build chef turns to you, peppers in hand. “Ah, what’s that ya got there?” 

“Dunno, it's a mushroom, but I need to know what kind so I can take care of it.” 

You gently hand the mushroom to Bart, who examines it, before giving it a sniff. “Why it’s a button mushroom! Smells fresh too!” 

“Well?”

“Follow me, I’ll help ya plant her!”

The two go into the closet, Bart grabs a small light blue pot, placing it in your hands, as well as a bag of manure. You almost topple over from the weight. You place the manure on the ground and Bart opens the bag, grabbing the cup and scooping manure into it, and placing it inside of the pot. 

The mushroom is planted inside of it. 

You smile softly. “Thanks,”

Bart turns to you as he wipes his hands off on his pants. “Any time,” He pauses. “Where, did you get that anyway? We don’t have a shipment of those coming until next Friday.” 

You shrug, staring at the tiny plant. “Dunno, some weird...green lizard thing gave it to me before I went to bed.” 

“Hm, was it glowing?”

You nod. “Sure was, almost got blinded.”

“Ah, that oughta be Cheeseburger!” 

You blink. “What?” 

“Well, I call them cheeseburger, little devil that thing is. Nobody knows what it is, all it does is steal food and mess with people. It does like to get pet behind the ears though if you can catch it that is.” 

You chuckle lightly. “Then why would it give me a mushroom?”

Bart shrugs. “Maybe it likes you.”
