Q&A for Transformers Fans, Day 21 & 22
Jun. 24th, 2015 11:20 pmHuh. What to say that I haven’t already said for these two…
You Hate? I Love!: Which cartoon, comic, or character do you love that everyone else seems to hate?
BW Silverbolt, maybe? The whole ‘courtship of Blackarachnia’ subplot rubbed some folks the wrong way, and I mean I get why and I’m not about to defend the more egregious bits of his behavior, but it just didn’t squick me the way it squicked the rest of the fandom. I guess I can’t help but feel a kind of affection toward the big doof. He took me along with his emotional journey - I mean, holy shit, rewatch ’Transmutate.’

Soundwave and his crew. I feel like he should be interesting to me for the same reason Cyclonus is, but Cyclonus actually has a personality and a mind of his own. Soundwave's got nothing except his speech patterns to differentiate him from a cardboard box. And I’ve never been able to stand characters like Rumble and Frenzy, too much like certain bullies I’ve had to put up with growing up. So, not the kind of people I want to spend any time with. …and then a couple of fics I got inadvertently sucked into portrayed Soundwave as a creepy rapist, and so now any mention of him just kind of makes me cringe.
