G1 Transformers becomes a lot more unsettling to watch when you take into consideration that all the animation errors are canon.

What do you MEAN they’re canon?

You know Unicron? That old son of a gun turned out to be a multiuniversal singularity. Meaning: in all the Transformers universes there was only the one Unicron. The one from armada, the one from G1, the one from Prime. Every single one of them, the same guy existing at the same time in multiple continuities. Same thing for the 13 and Primus.

But then, in Energon, Unicron fucking died. Like, he ended up dead, that shit had never happened before. And Unicron passed from being alive and existing in all universes in tandem, to be dead in one of them. The fabric of reality couldn’t take it and started to collapse on itself (the setting in Cybertron) which manifests as all the errors that occur in all the continuities.

If I remember correctly, it’s called The Unicron Singularity

All the animation errors, all the continuity inconsistencies

Starscream had Thundercracker’s paintjob for a few frames? Unicron Singularity

A dead character appears on a crowd shot? Unicron Singularity

you know what trope pisses me off the most? when the protag is pointing a gun at somebody and they’re like “you won’t do it. you’re too good” and the person holding the gun is like oh shit i am and they slowly lower the gun while the other person laughs. WHAT THE FUCK. if i were there, and somebody told me “you won’t do it” i would immediately shoot them dead without hesitating. who are you to tell me what i wont do. musty bitch

Oh my god, the idea of the Matrix being a Lovecraftian artifact makes SO MUCH SENSE. Even Optimus is not immune. (An idea I had is that Optimus has had the Matrix for so long that when he comes back to life, he’s become somewhat Eldritch himself. He still acts the same, but he gives off a subtle aura of madness and insanity, and evokes the uncanny valley effect with his mere presence. Worse, he might not be aware of this.)

YESSSSS I like this a LOT.  And, again, it’s something that could be so easily cloaked by people’s expectations of what a Prime is supposed to be like – surely that’s just him being… awe-inspiring, right?  Okay, maybe some people physically recoil from his presence, and maybe no one wants to look him in the optic for too long, but that’s just because he’s the Prime and Primus’s Representative on Cybertron.  And if his lieutenants, who spend the most time with him, all seem to either start showing signs of instability themselves or desperately pull strings to get reassigned, well, pressures of war… right?

I’ve always loved that in the Marvel comics, the Matrix kind of was this eldritch abomination.  It wasn’t evil, per se, but it was amoral and alien and had no problem manipulating its hosts.  I always wished they played with that more when it came to Optimus specifically.  I love your idea. 🙂

(On a personal level, I’m also fond of the idea that maybe Megatron is the first one to really clock that there’s something wrong.  Because he has no reverence for the Matrix and the whole cult of the Primes, so where everyone else is going, “Oh… yeah, that discomfort is just… that’s just his divine presence,” Megatron is like bullshit much?)
