Tarantulas is such a deeply tragic character and I’m very upset about him

There’s this desire to procreate which is framed in a way that’s supposed to make him creepy but I can’t help but sympathize

His greatest work, his child, was ripped away from him and his partner abandoned him to a life of torment that he was able to climb out of

It left him twisted, he had changed so that nothing could hurt him like that ever again, focusing on how the war has twisted Cybertronian society because it was all he had left to do

And he still wanted to be with the partner who hurt him because he saw it as another chance to create life, he wanted this because even though he was all but destroyed the partnership was fruitful

But he discovers that his greatest work, his son, is still alive and he goes to tell him he loves him

To tell him he never meant to leave him all alone

And he realizes that it was for the best that he didn’t raise his son, even if it would have brought him great joy. Even if it was the thing he wanted to do most in the world.

But it was enough to be able to see what a good person his son grew up to be.

His Ostaros, the life he created, his greatest work grew into something good, and that was enough
