How I Understand the 2016 Presidential Debates By : Malcum Moonsun The voting populace is the world child trying to decide whether to sit beside mommy or daddy. We, the children, are choosing our teacher, and we have been given all the lessons and are now made to choose the path that leads to best growth. The father demands great strength. He speaks his mind to the most isolated and deeply superficial thought. Moral implications aside, the thoughts are deep ceded in our mammalian reptilian imaginative brains. In this instance spoken from the perspective of the white man towards women and people of color, it is ignominious to think colored women do not have those reciprocated thoughts about Caucasian men. To stand by his words, or to lay down the ego and apologize for how it was spoken are both paths that require tremendous emotional fortitude. He has used his words to inspire understanding, understanding which evades the proud elite who cower in fear of what may be found illuminating the dark recesses of human existence. The enemies in the silence are more fearsome than the words we dare not mutter.  If you have ever spoken what you truly think and feel you know that path always leads to truth. The mother teaches us of our ability to change; her viewpoint on topics like gay marriage has swayed over the years. She presents us with the challenge of asking ourselves if we have never been swayed by others’ attitudes and persuasions through the course of experience. If one reads five books and maintains the same mindset afterwards, then someone is plainly stubborn. If your intuitions feel no guilt with a journal full of secrets then she is the best choice for you. The choice will shape our future world child, and requires discussion and deliberation. While speeches will be given on our television screens, we still have the power to think for ourselves and share our thoughts and feelings about the topics presented to us within our communities. Be that as it may, understand that advisors limit their power. The decision you are making is whether you want a trustworthy brute or a silver-tongued devil whispering into your ear.

Tf AU IDEA:

A cyberpunk x 1920's & 50s mobs and cops au ft. Swinbee. With conman/businessman and black-arms dealer Swindle and lieutenant police officer Aureus/Apexis who is a lieutenant in the undercover and espionage department with the civilian cover identity Bumblebee who is a middle level I.T. worker.

Bumblebee (aka Aureus/Apexis) newest mission is to get within the inner circle of the mob known as Decepticons to find out their top black-arms supplier of illegal weapons and supplies Swindle, and get enough evidence to put him in prison.

Swindle takes an interest in his business's latest hire an I.T. worker, when arriving to the office early everyday they have a conversation in which they speak on anything from a shared past of hardship, to stories of work and personal life.

Slow burn au. With commissioner Prowl, undercover racer Blurr, brother Hardtop, sibling assistant, and undercover assassin Cliffjumper, corrupt head of intelligence Starscream, and more.

I know it's been going around for a while that Bumblebee is an over utilized character. However this isn't true, in fact, I would say Bumblebee is miss utilized. Here's why...

Way back when transformers was first starting out with the Sunbow G1 comics, Bumblebee wasn't the sunshine child character who was part of the main cast. In the character profiles Bumblebee function was put as Espionage, meaning Bumblebee was a part of either the Spec Ops or as an spy(agent), or both. However, when the T.V. series of transformers was created and aired Bumblebee was put in the main cast by him having a friendship with Spike, making him popular with kids.

And since, Hasbro focuses on toy sales, Bumblebee who was the more friendly and sunshine character in the G1 T.V. series led to them having that role be the basis for Bumblebee's character.

I admit, since the Sunbow comics came out a long time ago, I don't have the full on stories. However, forums discussing and going over the comic issues have helped. In fact, while yes Bumblebee does have some issues regarding whether the team needs him, he is actually really cunning, and as one forum put it manipulative.

There were several moments in which Bumblebee and then as Goldbug showed this. Using the "Cute little autobot" act to his advantage. Such as when he exploited Blaster who wanted to get even with Grimlock. Or that time in UK "Victory" when he had shamed a broken Ultra magnus to the point that Ultra was pushed to fight Galvatron again.

Really, Bumblebee character should be one that is always wearing a mask, putting on an act, and in the background. Still having that curiosity, Courage, and need to prove himself to his fellows. However, Bumblebee character acted like they were in their 30's which suits them, not a late teenager, or type of Hot Rod/Shot character.

Bumblebee character isn't a kid. Nor is he Optimus prime's child. The characters that fit that role would be Hot Rod or Hot Shot.

Also, Bumblebee is supposed to be one of the shortest and weakest characters. Seeing a lot of the more recent continuities give the character a bigger size and alt mode, seeing tfp Bumblebee be taller than Acree had me going "wait what!?" It makes more sense for Bumblebee to be the motorcycle and Acree as the car.

Honestly, bayverse could of had the spy role for Bumblebee work a whole lot more. Especially, in how Bumblebee was the one to keep all the other autobots hidden. Or the one to infiltrate KSI to find out what was happening to the Autobots corpses.
