Here’s a chart from my work on the covenant which takes only like 5-10 minutes to crack, and five of them are looking for the letter K an cursing at how A’s kerning runs into other letters. Are the glyphs in the CoP different from those in TFP? Only a bit! I’d say what we have between the covenant and the script used in TFP is the difference between serif/nonserif/script font, because the larger patterns of the letter forms remain very similar. There’s a section at the end of the Covenant of Primus that has a nice english-to-cypher comparison on the afterword that shares many more letters yay! Am I here to share? Mais oui. For example, the dual horizontal lines of ‘A’ run into the square component of ‘V’ in Soundwave’s name. Some glyphs, when written next to each other, merge or run together. ‘I’ and ‘Y’ appear to be interchangeable (as seen in the word for “cylinder”). So here’s my attempt at deciphering the Cybertronian glyphs used in TFP.Ĭybertronian – or at least Autobot Cybertronian – appears to have two distinct scripts: one similar to printing, the other more like cursive. analysis bumblebee cybertronian writing headcanons maybe it's just an art error tfp that they thought nobody would noticeĪll right. Ratchet doesn’t have the heart to tell him that bumblebees are considered the mildest and least dangerous of bees. Upon hearing that, Bumble – already attracted to these little yellow and black creatures that strike terror into the hearts of things much, much bigger than them for fear of their sting – excitedly asks everyone to start calling him Bumblebee. One of these that he mentions, is of course bumblebees. He brought it up to Ratchet, who then took it upon himself to research it (cursing and grumbling at human tech the entire way), and informing him about all of the small insects that come under the common reference of bees.

Which means the ‘Bee suffix was added after coming to Earth.Īnd now I’m imagining shortly after the original four’s arrival, Bumble doing recon on humans, as would be his scoutly duty to do so, and seeing them flee and flinch warily from tiny, yellow and black creatures, even when it’s just one. We know this isn’t a character limit thing, because Bulkhead’s name is written out in full. So optronixes has been busily decoding the Cybertronian glyphs of Transformers Prime.Īnd in doing so – discovered something amazing.īumblebee’s Cybertronian name isn’t Bumblebee.
