//I just want to talk about this a little bit for a minute
There has been lots of discussion and argument in the past over how big the Primes were/are. It's not something that has really been mentioned (at least not that I've found), and is bound to be different from one series to another.
I was recently rewatching Prime and the two images on this post are both from the series. The first from Season 1: One Shall Rise Part 1, and the other from The Predacons Rising Movie at the end of the series.
Looking at the Primes surrounding the well in the first photo, the well looks small enough that Nexus Prime (front left) could do a downward dog over it and not fall in. Which does makes sense when you bring into account how the well was created in this story timeline. Being that Solus' body was enveloped (melted?) and carved out the Well as she descended to Primus in the core of the Cybertron. So the Well would likely not have been much bigger than she was.
So now we have this Solus Prime size Well on Cybertron. Now we fast forward to the second picture. In that photo we can clearly identify the Nemesis parked next to the Well. Yeah. The ship that normally housed Megatron, all our favourite Cons, all the Steve drones, insecticons, and Predaking (Though Starscream makes a comment at one point that Predaking was tearing the ship asunder from how big he was).
Now the question becomes, did Cybertronians decide to make the Well larger? Or is the Well the same size as it always has been.
Because in the case of it being the exact same size as when it was created, that leads us to believe that in aligned the Primes are absolutely massive fuckers. Like they would step on the entire Nemesis and just not think twice.
In the case of it being upsized later on, there are ways or arguing why you would or wouldn't want to do so. It being place rooted in legend, bots may have begun to use it for religious significance and gathering. The bigger the Well, the more bots that can gather there at once. Though there's the question as to whether they would have been able, or even wanted to attempt, expanding it. The thing goes all the way to the core, that would be such a huge task!
Anyway, I'll stop here so I don't keep blabbing on and on, but I'd love to hear more thoughts on this if you have them!
This will never NOT be funny

Hi! So, um, I have a question:Are there any Cybertronian diseases? I did see ‘Chaos Sickness’ in a few character profiles. Do you have any ideas for that?
Chaos sickness is just how they refer to a peculiar effect from being near the "chaos bringer" Unicron. It reflects how, to a degree, Unicron isn't meant to exist in the mortal realm in the way he does, so the 'reality breaking' influences those close enough to him to exhibit nonsensical symptoms. It's harmless depending on the exposure, The Unicronians are the only ones immune, thankfully they do not output the same energy Unicron did. Spending too long around him could cause something fatal.
There are Cybertronian sicknesses though! Gold plastic syndrome is one, characterised by the lighter coloured metals turning a golden hue, bendability (like how plastic can bend more than metal) and brittleness. It causes repeated damage to the external components, largely cracks and deformations, it often leaves them a touch frailer than normal for the rest of their lives although one can recover enough for it to be barely noticeable.
Various types of rust also exist too, Cosmic rust being an example of a fatal variant, but some can be as harmless as a rash.
There is also the unidentified illness that causes the Empty.
Scraplets also cause a 'disease' that'll impede the self-repair systems of their host to ensure their own safety.
They can also suffer allergies and such because, like us, their own self-repair systems can identify the wrong things as threats and cause reactions.
Some illnesses can cause build-ups of gunk in their systems that make them lethargic and wheeze-y as a bunch of examples.
hold on a fucking second. delaware is a state?? i thought it was a river? or is the river more important than the state? why don't i know this? (i should mention i don't like in america, i'm just confused)
there is delaware (state) and delaware (river)
both are equally strange
the state is a tiny little cryptid thing
the rive is a monster that spans new york, pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware. also washington crossed it once and that was like kinda a big deal i guess. like crossing the rubicon in rome.
the state tries to me more important with its “im the first state!!!” bs (seriously its even on the fucking license plates) but we all know. its the river.
