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
==========
It was my successful mission to see all of the Bayformer movies in the theater with my niece and nephews from the bucketty-bucket South. I had forgotten how in the third movie they had ratcheted up the violence and I cautiously observed with an old fogey eye my eight-year-old nephew as skulls and ribcages bombarded him in glorious 3D.
But each generation thinks that new movies are too mind-alteringly extreme for youth. But people in the past passed out in the aisles when they saw a dude in a rubber suit in ‘The Creature From The Black Lagoon’, protests were held because they earnestly believed the devil had manifested himself on the film stock for ‘The Exorcist’, and schoolyards were debating if ‘The Blair Witch Project’ was actually found footage. Heck, my sister used to sneak me out of the house to go see the ‘Nightmare On Elm Street’ films and I turned out to be….hmm.
But I avoided a visit from Child Protective Services when my eight-year-old nephew exclaimed ‘Dark Of The Moon’ “was awesome!”
Yes, yes it was.
On the drive back, my nephew became a philosophic mini Socrates…except he didn’t poison himself in my backseat afterwards.
Nephew: I’m confused about something.
Uncle: What’s that?
Nephew: In the first movie Megatron was the bad guy.
Uncle: Correct.
Nephew: In the second film the insect was the main bad guy.
Uncle: Hah! Yes, the evil cricket was the main villain.
Nephew: In this film it was Sentinel Prime. In all the movies, Optimus was the leader of the Autobots, but who was in charge of the Decepticons?
Uncle: You…have made some very good points. It seems being a bad guy isn’t the best job choice, huh?
So when I hear how people couldn’t follow the Bayformer plots, I had a discussion with an eight-year-old about the dichotomy of the Autobot and Decepticon ranking system and why super villainy doesn’t offer 401K plans.

The Lowdown On The Download

For the long description, check out the first ‘Consult’ drawing in my gallery. The short description: the original G1 Transformers had PSAs starring the Autobots at the end of the 80’s cartoon. Why were the Decepticons never commissioned to offer sage advice to kids?
This is why.
And the triptych of terrible advice is complete. Unlike most super famous fanart rock stars, I haven’t let my popularity go to my head. I don’t have a secretary to go thru my literally dozens upon dozens of comments on my art and actually read them all personally. For example, my art buddy StarShineMB [link] started to ramble her own idea for a Decepticon-related PSA for Megatron. My brain began to conjure what the titanium tyrant would spout to the fleshbags of the world.
Hope you enjoyed all the child endangerment these past few weeks.

Add a dash of "weepy tears from terrified illustrated children", bake for half an hour, and you got the world's most diabolical cake!

Pfffft!
Yeah, it's funny. All through growing up, Mom would get upset if Dad tried to let me watch "scary" or "violent" movies. Would tell me to leave the room if we were at home, or would cover my eyes for me at theaters. Didn't want him scaring their little girl, ya know? Kind'a resented her for it at the time.
...Nowadays, I tell her when to cover her eyes. She gives me this adorable little pouty look when I tell her to look away. XD
She does, though.

Do you also force her to eat all her vegetables you know she doesn't like otherwise she can't leave the table?
