Description No I don't really think Ultra Magnus is afraid of roaches. You'd just have to meet my husband...who is Ultra Magnus - but grew up in Miami - with the Palmetto bugs. And people from New York think they know about roaches. Snicker...

True, although, cockarouches and Palmetto bugs are amazing creatures though, the idea that they can survive anything has always made me curious about their biology and wonder how they can do it, and perhaps, if scientists can figure their secret out, then maybe we can develop technology that could protect our policemen and soldiers at home and abroad and perhaps give them a chance of survival while in combat thanks to the secrets of cockarouches and Palmetto bugs. Its a weird yet thought provoking idea though.

I like them actually...outside. It's good that I'm not afraid of them though because at one of my old schools I was in a portable (sort of a cabin-classroom) that was loaded with them. They were eating my paper and watercolor paint. It took me a while to figure out the festive multi-colored lumps I kept finding on my counters were their droppings. Lucky for them I would catch and release them rather than smashing them.

Heh...I drew this thing a LOONG time ago to needle my husband. He pretty much IS Ultra Magnus...except for his terror of roaches. LOL! He'll handle the dinner plate sized spiders we have around here (and will catch them and let them go). Scorpions...no problem. We both think they are cool...but a roach? He hates it that I posted this - and I can't wait to tell him it got faved again.

One doesn't see to many Spoofs and there can never be enough Magnus.. I Wonder if he was thinking..

"I can't deal with that right now.."

See if you can find the fanfic "The Practical War." I can't remember who did it, but I'm almost certain it's on Fanfiction.net Extremely funny TF spoof starring Magnus. I've got a few funny scenes with him, but as they are mixed up with all the drama you can't call them spoofs.

Scream01 In reply to illmatar [2008-06-06 18:36:06 +0000 UTC]

I'll have to look for it..I should try to draw the only human characters Arcee, Rodimus, Springer and Magnus.. which of course looks like Mr Fantastic's twin.

Yeah...I redid those looks. Magnus LOOKS like a spoof in that episode.

He does.. and he's very cute as a spoof.. I know that's funny to say a bot's cute ^^'

illmatar In reply to Scream01 [2008-06-09 02:05:29 +0000 UTC]

Please...I think he's even cuter a a non-spoof. Op is adorable, and I have a deep and un-treatable problem with Rodimus.

Scream01 In reply to illmatar [2008-06-09 02:17:05 +0000 UTC]

Now Roddy was cute as a human.. but Springer.. out of the three male humans.. Springer was the best ^^

And I think Magnus is cute anyway..rather it be spoof or not ^^

illmatar In reply to Scream01 [2008-06-09 02:36:16 +0000 UTC]

They were OK...I think I did Rodi better, but then, I did him to my taste so I guess that figures. Magnus I don't have up yet, and Springer will stay firmly TF from now on. He did make a cute guy though.

[link] <--there are better shots, but most have too much going on.

Very nice.. Prime seemed to be cold toward Roddy when he said lights.. or were you meaning that way.. I'll have to read the issue to fully understand Prime's feelings at the time.

But I loved the smirk on Rod's face as the lights did come on.

Was looking through Search for Ultra Magnus pictures. This is great, especially Roddy on the floor behind them.

Palmetto bugs are smaller than the ones in the Philipines- those things can carry off small children.

Hahaha! Good thing we are too broke to travel then! Unless...do you think if we hitched up a team of your bugs that we could fly to the Philippines via roach-coach? I'm sure with enough sedatives I could get my husband on board!

Lurker521 In reply to illmatar [2008-01-03 06:12:53 +0000 UTC]

Only if you have enough sedatives for *me* as well- I'm scared of heights and don't fly that well in airplanes. I'm about the only person I know that doesn't want the window seat. ::shudder::

Never seen one fly, wonder if they make the same sound grasshoppers do...

I think I laughed more at Rodimus than the picture XD but I'd probably react to a roach the same way. Don't get many here in California, but EEEEEEEEEEEW! The only bugs I like are rollie pollies, ladybugs, butterflies, grasshoppers and Mothra
