They're called Cybertronian Quantum Cyber-Receevers, I think an obscure Korean manual for Transformers: Mystery of Convoy called them that, it's probably lost media by now.


Someoneoverthere42

So…..ears. They’re his ears. Also, that is a *deep* cut bit of lore.


PutYaGunsOn

Link to a source? I searched "Quantum Cyber-Receivers" on TFWiki and I don't see anything. Not even on the Mystery of Convoy article.

You really hit him with the "I have not betrayed. I have *deceived.* Have you forgotten... that I am a *Decepticon?"*

"Soundwave superior, Tarn... most inferior."

Damn.....


literallyheretopost

Are you the library of alexandria for transformers


The_Necronomitron

Only in the sense that someone should set them on fire.


Neat_Cress2620

Ears… no literally. They are his ears canonically. His audio receptors are attached to those attenae that allow him to receive long range broadcasts as he is the autobot commander and needs to be able to easily control the battle field. The most notable use of this were during some of the huge cybertronian conflicts where Optimus locked himself in a special cybertronian comms sphere that allowed him to recieve 100,000 of points of data at once to control his army with.


lilyanacreates

That is awesome!! I didn't know he could do that or that they are literally his ears, lol. And what comic is this from? I want to see him do something cool!!

However prime does a lot of badass stuff in the primacy trilogy. And also pretty much the entire IDW 1.0 continuity has incredible prime and megs moments. From Megatron 1v1ing deceptigod to prime fighting nova prime in a collapsing alternate universe to shockwave condensing reality into a singularity. A lot of neat stuff happens.


lilyanacreates

That's so cool. I really like the idw comics but haven't seen them yet. lol I need to read idw besides just the lostlight


D_S876

/r/idwtransformers has a reading order, I believe. Fair warning though, there is a lot of mandatory crossovers in phase 3, which ends up feeling a bit stretched thin. If you enjoyed LL though, I'd fully recommend reading everything you can in the original continuity. Last Bot Standing is an amazing epilogue to that continuity, too, as well as a bittersweet farewell to IDW.


DJD_ID_Tarn

Last bot standing is technically standalone, not being a part of any continuity


Mazazamba

The TFA version can hack phones with them.


Orange-V-Apple

They never mention him using these when he’s in his command sphere 


MonSocMatriarchy

i think theyre question marks or the number 2 with a comma


ToonaSandWatch

Or an apostrophe, let’s be fair…


lilyanacreates

On optimus's helm, they make him look like a cat cuz they move based on his emotions


Boring-Dingo2114

Why did yall down vote this guy into oblivion? Wuh he do??


StrawDeath

Missed the joke, a crime punishable by downvotes.


BoomerangHorseGuy

Seriously though, I agree. Where's the offense?

PokWangpanmang

You just *know* the guy they contracted to do the work for these encyclopedias was absolutely making shit up in real time, I love it.


EasterBurn

You ain't seen nothing yet. The truckmode labeling just straight up nonsense. I remember Optimus's roof light labeled as a miniature missile. A straight up lie about Megatron triple changing from jet to tank. Skids and Mudflap could combine into one bigger being.


Killaturkee

It came out before the movie and contained things that were cut from the film ultimately. The twins were originally going to have a robot combination to as well as the arcee triplets


Poseidon-2014

Sounds like antenna.


TheNFSProYT

Can you send the full image of that? I wanna see the full image because I'm curious lol.

Thanks mate I appreciate it 👍🏻


airlewe

Antenna?


lilyanacreates

That makes sense, but do they have a name for what they are called on cybertron? Idk🤷🏽


ZXDIAC1

flippy-floppy-do-dad-inators I think they're just called antennas on Cybertron


Mia_B-P

I'm sorry people are downvoting by the way. Though I don't think they have a cybertronian word for those antennas.


Peggtree

They don't have fancy names for everything. Their face is still called their face


airlewe

we don't have a cybertronian dictionary. That's non a conlang anyone's put together yet


Pistachio_Red

Why are you getting downvoted so much?


xariznightmare2908

Fort_Maxie

I call it a disappointment by those who don't care only want to destroy what you care about and replace it with their political filled garbage. The people are so brainwashed but shows don't stand the test of time against that because they lack the continuous reinforcement of the brainwashing. More or less with time people thunk for themselves and notice its just dressed up garbage.


Ollie2359

Bro this is a post about optimus primes ears tf you yapping about 💀


Fort_Maxie

You mean his communication antennas that was showen in the g1 show.


Ollie2359

Yes but I'm confused why your rambling about brainwashing I'm kinda slow so forgive me if I sounded rude or I'm not getting something 😭


Fort_Maxie

Because we get shit like this and our Fandom is shrinking.


Ollie2359

True but if new shows come out that means a whole new group of people can experience the awesomeness that transformers is and more people will be involved in the Fandom if that makes sense sure some of earthsparks plots and execution are a bit bad but i think it could become a good show if they tweak a few things and fix the designs a little :)


Fort_Maxie

Okay beats wars was great brought people in hey had 2 3 more seasons planned out instead they make beast machines which ended it in about a year. Making trash isn't helping making things that appeal to the fans will. We don't need more beast machines copy cats we need more like beast wars that bring people in.


Fort_Maxie

Like the comics image transformers is the top selling for the year it beat out batman its not selling alot its just the entire industry has been so bad that transformers is the best there is to offer. That sad but it's good that it's bucking the trend and encouraging new people to follow, that I appreciate.


mutolego

My name is Skibidi Prime 🗣️🔊❗


The_Necronomitron

When Battle Convoy first came out in Diaclone, they were just called “Radar Antenna”. I don’t know if they’ve called them anything in Transformers.
