A Prime And His Eccentric Seeker.

The backlash against “Mary Sues” created a deep aversion in the majority of fanfiction writers against the use of original characters, causing a large majority of posted fanfiction to have a far narrower scope than its own source material.

How big are Primes?

//I just want to talk about this a little bit for a minute

There has been lots of discussion and argument in the past over how big the Primes were/are. It's not something that has really been mentioned (at least not that I've found), and is bound to be different from one series to another.

I was recently rewatching Prime and the two images on this post are both from the series. The first from Season 1: One Shall Rise Part 1, and the other from The Predacons Rising Movie at the end of the series.

Looking at the Primes surrounding the well in the first photo, the well looks small enough that Nexus Prime (front left) could do a downward dog over it and not fall in. Which does makes sense when you bring into account how the well was created in this story timeline. Being that Solus' body was enveloped (melted?) and carved out the Well as she descended to Primus in the core of the Cybertron. So the Well would likely not have been much bigger than she was.

So now we have this Solus Prime size Well on Cybertron. Now we fast forward to the second picture. In that photo we can clearly identify the Nemesis parked next to the Well. Yeah. The ship that normally housed Megatron, all our favourite Cons, all the Steve drones, insecticons, and Predaking (Though Starscream makes a comment at one point that Predaking was tearing the ship asunder from how big he was).

Now the question becomes, did Cybertronians decide to make the Well larger? Or is the Well the same size as it always has been.

Because in the case of it being the exact same size as when it was created, that leads us to believe that in aligned the Primes are absolutely massive fuckers. Like they would step on the entire Nemesis and just not think twice.

In the case of it being upsized later on, there are ways or arguing why you would or wouldn't want to do so. It being place rooted in legend, bots may have begun to use it for religious significance and gathering. The bigger the Well, the more bots that can gather there at once. Though there's the question as to whether they would have been able, or even wanted to attempt, expanding it. The thing goes all the way to the core, that would be such a huge task!

Anyway, I'll stop here so I don't keep blabbing on and on, but I'd love to hear more thoughts on this if you have them!

Okay, I have no idea what I was thinking when making this smoll post, but imagine if Galaxy Force Starscream had taken Unicron's power instead. Would he or would he not be a bigger threat than if he had still taken Primus'powers?

Just something to think about.

Nicki Minaj is officially a playable character now on “Call Of Duty”

This is for the people who didn’t party in their teens and twenties. For the people who didn’t have that “coming of age” movie experience with shenanigans and revelations. This is for the people who mostly keep to themselves. Who maybe prefer things to be quieter and gentler. This is for the people who don’t feel like they belong in a culture that values loud parties and flashing lights. I see you. And you are valid.
