I mean if they really want a TF character that represents them:

Sentinel Prime is too competent to be a proper representation of a conservative administration.

EXCUSE ME?!?! Have 0 idea of the context

u/Flaky-Reach-9295 Sep 12 '26

Spoilers for TF1: sentinel steals the transformations cog of new robots so they’re stuck doing mining jobs to fuel his endless need for energon to give to the quintessons. In doing so, he steals the miners cogs. He “touches the cogs of minors” which honestly is something he’d probably do (technically he did)

u/DaemonikDreamer Sep 14 '26

I'm half-convinces that the ultimate morals of a lot of corporate produced media are psy-ops by the 1% to condition people against violent revolution.

"No, prole, you're not allowed to tear me in half. That's what Megatron would do. Megatron is a bad guy like me. You aren't a bad guy though. Surely 'you' wouldn't want to be just as bad as me. So throw me in a jail I can bribe my way out of why don't ya?"

I wonder if that's why villains feel so much cooler sometimes.

Deceptions forever!

u/HotPot87 Sep 12 '26

Tarn would 100% be head of ICE the guy is a xenophobic drug addict who worships Megatron at his worst.

64

u/Nemesis_Prime0205 Sep 12 '26

That's like 90% of the current administration

21

u/Gate0fBabylon Sep 13 '26

To add to that, he has a transformation addiction which burns out his transformation cog, (the organ that allows a cybertronian to transform) and he has a doctor (Pharma) steal them from his patients to give to him so he can continue his addiction. So my question here is, how does this translate to a human equivalent, adrenaline junkie? Masturbation addiction? Etc.

14

u/JamesPlayzReviews3 Autobot Sep 13 '26

I didn't even think that was possible... you can burn out a T-cog?

15

u/HotPot87 Sep 13 '26

Cybertronians can heal so their T-cog probably keeps itself working well, but he overuses it so much he wears it down before it can heal.

10

u/Gate0fBabylon Sep 13 '26

As far as I know hes the only character shown to have ever done it, its probably a more common thing in universe but the only character we get with it is tarn. You can also find this information on like the first blurb on tarn's tfwiki page

8

u/Respwn_546 Sep 13 '26

Well we humans can harm our muscles from overexercise and machines can also burn internal components if not maintained correctly so it's possible, like cars where you can burn your brakes or clutch

7

u/JamesPlayzReviews3 Autobot Sep 13 '26

I'd say more so adrenaline junkie because running gets your heart pumping and transforming has been compared to running before

u/Fit_Channel6056 Sep 15 '26

Wasn't his doctor Nickel? or am I missing smth again x-x

u/Prestigious-Salt-96 Sep 12 '26

And then there’s Prime Megatron, who actually supports them:

u/TF-Fanfic-Resident Sep 12 '26

The Simpsons gets a lot of credit for predicting things because they got two Super Bowls right (although one of them was actually a hoax that was dubbed in after the teams were clinched) and called Donald Trump winning the presidency (which he had flirted with since 2000).

Meanwhile Transformers has predicted ten times as much stuff about the 2020s but doesn't get credit for it outside of this sub.

Dont insult Sentinel. Atleast he knows what he ıs doing. Unlike Orangeman, Sentinel had a competent opposition.

u/FLIPYOUSUCKET Sep 12 '26

No no.

Sentinal is at least competent (mostly)

Trump administration is worse than TF One Sentinal

22

u/Alternative-Sir6140 Sep 12 '26

Heh. Not really. Sentinel at least competent leader. Yes he is greedy and traitorous weasel. But he run cybertron very successfully and was cunning enough to make a deal with quintessons that could easily go on attack on cybertron and enslaved it without any problems. Yet he managed to get that deal what in twisted way saved Cybertron from eradication.

More like Classic SpongeBob's Mr Krabs type of greedy, he has shown redeemable moments.

Highly suggest reading his comics and the Christmas special comic that featured him.

u/One_Opportunity_9608 Me no flair, me king Sep 13 '26

Yeah, Lex Luther would have fit the bottom better, not because of his intelligence, this administration is far from that, but because of how Petty they are.

2

u/ununseptimus I'm not splittable Sep 15 '26

Considering that part of Luthor's corporate arsehole / politician revamp was explicitly based on Trump, years before he was ever elected president... hell, just look at the cover. Black cover, gold letters, the works.

Luthor was a better president, though. Even if he did do it just to fuck with Superman, he at least divested himself of Lexcorp first...

But, like you say, intelligence notwithstanding, he's certainly got the obsessive malice and greed down.

u/CreepyClay Sep 14 '26

That and Larfleeze is no liar he makes it abundantly clear who and what he is.

u/Heroic-Forger Sep 12 '26

Reminds me of the time they made a Star Wars post and depicted Trump holding a red lightsaber.

These guys unironically watched Star Wars and thought the Empire were the good guys.

And even designed the f***ing Space Force uniforms after the Empire’s!

u/Weary-Case-1039 Sep 12 '26

Yeah but the similarities in physical appearance is funny to think about

7

u/TF-Fanfic-Resident Sep 12 '26

Trump holding a red lightsaber

I mean, at least with the Star Wars post you can kinda argue that the red color stands for Republicans and that the negative stereotypes of immigrants in the US kinda sorta resemble some of the Empire's grunts if you squint really hard (I'm not saying that Jabba the Hutt resembles actual immigrants but instead that he resembles defamatory stereotypes of immigrants). Also, it takes place in another galaxy and has no similarities to real-world factions. Still really fucking stupid and tasteless, but it isn't a clear-cut case of doing exactly the opposite of the canon.

Spidey and the Lanters

Spider-Man tends to be light on the IRL politics, and Lanterns is a cop show (cops in the USA lean right-wing). So while not excusable by any means, they aren't as colossally tone-deaf as using Autobots in propaganda.

Team Trump explicitly appropriating a series about aliens who seek asylum on Earth and are on-again, off-again persecuted by Uncle Sam? OMG

7

u/Bad_RabbitS Sep 13 '26

They also used Superman which is another wildly tone-deaf call, considering Superman is literally a character built on the groundwork of life as an immigrant.

6

u/TF-Fanfic-Resident Sep 13 '26

Superman was adopted as a baby by Americans and raised as an American, though. Infant adoptions generally aren't a target of nativists atm.

26

u/M0ebius_1 Sep 12 '26

Superman breaks Earth laws every single day. He has a fake birth certificate.

This administration is a fucking joke. Imagine the outcry these same people would’ve had if Obama had been posting the kind of slop that Trump does, if Obama “joked” about going for a third term, if Obama made memes about superheroes deporting people.

This administration has solidified the USA as a laughing stock on the world stage, and we as a nation are backsliding hard. The damage that has been done will take years to undo, if not decades, and that’s assuming there is a concentrated and largely uncorrupted effort to do so immediately following the Trump admin.

Anyway, soundwave please have my children

u/Prowl2681 Sep 15 '26

I agree with almost everything you've said but I do have to be break it to you, the world has been laughing at the US well before this shitstain came into office.

Many aren't checking the news to see how we set an example to the world, they're checking to see if we're going to fuck them over today because historically that's what this country has done over and over, regardless of the administration.

Larfleeze strangely enough might have a really tragic backstory like im talking born in slavery ignored by mother, outcasted by family, enslaved again and then having the actual family he cares about(his wife and children) killed/sold in slavery again. Then again larfleeze speaks in half truths.

u/Unusual_Traffic4773 Sep 14 '26

Yeah, if you ask me, I think the most accurate Transformers equivalent of Donald Trump, and this entire shit-show of a presidential administration as a whole, is Zeta Prime from IDW. This motherfucker Zeta was worse than Sentinel in this specific continuity in several different ways! He militarized the city of Iacon, locked down numerous recreational zones, and enforced brutal police brutality and totalitarian security measures via a handpicked, compromised security council in the form of the counterterrorism group known as the “Autobots.” He ordered the bombing of civilian neighborhoods and subsequently labeled the surviving, displaced victims as "traitors" and terrorists just to cover up his regime's energy rationing and crackdowns. He used extreme authoritarian methods—including brainwashing (shadowplay) political opponents and dissidents through mnemosurgery—and was fully prepared to execute Orion Pax when his crimes were brought to light. And lastly, he secretly utilized massive energy siphons—his specialized vamparc ribbons—to drain the life and energon straight from ordinary Cybertronian citizens that he deemed “insurgents” to fuel his private military and war machine!

Ya'll I'm like the biggest Superman fan, and as such, I can confidently tell you that according to the actual lore, he suffers from being an all-powerful perfectionist, and if you don't understand how dangerous this can be, then please read the comics!
