He was very gracious and gave me permission to upload his drawings here…seeing as I’m Mrcappy.
In other words, these aren’t stolen unless you think I plagiarized myself.
====================
Cappitron’s Short-Circuited Rant
====================
As much of a fantard of the Transformers that I am (I have the ridiculous toy collection to prove it), I feel really bad reading interviews with the G1 voice cast. Keep in mind, the cast members like Peter Cullen and Frank Welker are super grateful at the fame and following they have now. But back in the 80s, it was just a dorky job for a twenty-one minute commercial for toys. The interviews are done by rabid fans, thinking that the voice actors had a twinkle in their eye at the microphone—“This thing will surely bring joy to millions of kids, even though it’ll be cancelled by the fourth season!”

I read an interview with Frank Welker, being absolutely accommodating with “You are worthy enough to ask Megatron a question!” (By the by, why don’t people upload soundbytes when they interview voice actors?! It does jack to read text about “Welker did this awesome impression of Megatron reading Shakespeare…but I guess you had to be there to enjoy it tee hee!” ) Shortly, the interviewer degenerated into fandardism and asked bonkers questions like “Toys are made partly as an homage to the voice actor who breathed life into the character. That toy: the Masterpiece MP-05 Megatron (a toy that goes for ninety effing dollars online), how do you feel about the didactic relationship your voice had on reshaping the toy?” and “In what episodes do you feel that Megatron mirrored your own life? If Megatron were in the third season, how would he have handled episode thirty-eight?” Blindsided Welker spent most of the interview apologizing because he couldn’t remember most of the episodes and tried to refrain himself from blurting “You do realize it’s just a fun kids cartoon right? Megatron tried to blow up the world when he was still ON it! Do you really find any joy from analyzing every frame and not taking it at face value?”

Well, maybe I paraphrased a little. But it was just a job to the actors, they’ve since jumped on the bandwagon and love the series; it would be nice if fans kept that in mind and ask them appropriate questions.
HOW WOULD OPTIMUS PRIME HANDLE THE WAR IN IRAQ?!?!

====================
Truth be told, I never liked cartoon Bumblebee. I’m sure if you’re a fan you can find the humor in my joke—heck, maybe Fumblebee WAS the reason you liked the character. I was always annoyed when I saw Bumblebee and Spike together, because I knew in five minutes Bumblebee would do something retarded and get both of them captured.
“HEY LEMME GO SNEAK UP AND PUT A TRACKER BEACON ON MEGATRON’S FOREHEAD OH NO HE SAW ME?!”
I was able to recall three instances in my doodle, but I’m sure there were A LOT more bumbling misadventures.

Oddly, I adored Bumblebee in the live action movie… probably because he didn’t talk. And I’m looking forward to the Transformers Animated series, even though they showed Bumblebee being even more of a Retardicon; so we’re guaranteed to have a few “maturity” episodes with Prime lecturing “It’s not about the first strike, it’s about planning ahead and thinking of others! See how well such tactics have TOTALLY helped the Autobots in destroying the Decepticon’s rape of the universe, blah blah…”. Oh well, lemme take off my nerd beard now and just be glad the Transformers license finally returns to American scriptwriters. (this picture was originally posted before the Animated series began airing…so how far off was my prediction!)

About the art. I am surprised, and a little disheartened, that this is definitely the best looking of my fanarts. Oh, and when scouring Youtube for clips to reference Bumblebee, I saw a preview frame that helped me to remember that Bumblebee’s cheek had a communicator in it during one episode. I eventually found the G.I. Joe-esque PSA the Transformers tried to pull off:
Boy: I’m gonna run away! My parents are so mean!
BB: Sure, running away will show them how mean YOU are!
Boy: But…my dad tried to molest me.
BB: Well, have you thought about looking less sexy? You obviously want it by the way you dress!

Speaking of, here’s a clip of the PSAs. [link] It’s on the Portal Of Evil site (or POE for short). They pretty much surf Youtube and find the most insane content they can find and then lambast it. Think of Youtube but with jaded comedians leaving the comments. Man I love it. Watch the video first and THEN read the comments below. I can never refer to Sea Spray as anything other than ‘Boat Faggot’ now. I love the Boat Faggot toy from my childhood!
