History YMMV / CodePrime

* [[CatharsisFactor/CodePrime Catharsis Factor]]

* SignatureSeriesArc: [[spoiler: The last chapters from the SAZ Massacre to the Decepticon invasion of Britannia, which evokes the feeling of a climax from the live-action movies series and the comic story ''All Hail Megatron''.]]

** [[spoiler: While ''Worlds Collide'' massively shook the status quo by having the Fire Nation be usurped by the Foot Clan, the canonical endgame is [[ItsTheSameSoItSucks still the same]] (defeating an oppressive force and restore the world to the heroes). Here, the canonical endgame for ''Code Geass'' is MASSIVELY changed due to the rise of the Decepticons, allowing for a more unpredictable and engaging story long after the midpoint]].
* LesYay: Nunnally and Alice's subtext carries over from ''Nightmare of Nunnally.'' In particular, R2 Chapter 30 where she mentions Alice is important to her, causing Alice to blush.

** As ''R2'' continued, many fans felt increasingly dissatisfied with Schneizel's performance, feeling that for someone touted as a {{Chessmaster}} superior to [[GuileHero Lelouch]], he seems to have much less success than his brother. [[spoiler:TheReveal that he's planning to overthrow Megatron alongside Starscream, and is essentially using the heroes as a distraction against the Decepticon leader greatly alleviates this, throwing each 'loss' into a new light and setting the stage for whatever his true plan is. Even InUniverse, Cornelia is shaken to realise that their 'victories' against him [[XanatosGambit don't matter to him in the long run]], and WordOfGod outright stated his specialty lies in playing the LongGame. Even his eventual death in ''The Demon and Dragon Cometh'' was well accepted, as by this point his endgame had finally been revealed, and it helped cement Megatron as [[CrossoverVillainInChief the ultimate villain of the story]].]]

* OlderThanTheyThink: [[spoiler:Megatron taking in the orphaned Suzaku is quite a new thing for some readers, however, this ''isn't'' the first time the Decepticons ever inducted humans into their ranks. In the ''Anime/TransformersVictory'' manga, Deathsaurus (who, despite hating humans, has an affinity for children) adopted the orphaned Solon and raised him into the Decepticon ideals. And just like Suzaku, Solon too turned against them thanks to convincing from the Autobots.]]

* RonTheDeathEater: Sukazu comes off as significantly dumber than usual here, being in massive blatant denial both about Britannia's actions and buying the word of a CardCarryingVillain at face value with hardly a second thought. The more heroic take on the Black Knights makes it even more obvious. Suzaku from canon at least could be handwaved that years of trying to change the system and the Knights being more morally ambiguous had ground him down. Here, no real justification.

* FriendlyFandoms
** This work seems to be part of a trifecta of ''Code Geass'' [[FusionFic crossovers/fusion fics]] with similar concepts and tropes thrown around: consisting of this, ''Fanfic/CodeGeassPaladinsOfVoltron'' and ''Fanfic/CodeJedi''. [=Iron117Prime=] has commissioned covers and fanart for both fanfics, and all three authors of those respective fics seem to praise each other's work.

* OlderThanYouThink: [[spoiler:Megatron taking in the orphaned Suzaku is quite a new thing for some readers, however, this ''isn't'' the first time the Decepticons ever inducted humans into their ranks. In the ''Anime/TransformersVictory'' manga, Deathsaurus (who, despite hating humans, has an affinity for children) adopted the orphaned Solon and raised him into the Decepticon ideals. And just like Suzaku, Solon too turned against them thanks to convincing from the Autobots.]]

* EvilIsCool: [[spoiler: The fanfic provides what could possibly be one of the most successful iterations of the Decepticons ''period''. This iteration of Megatron gives his ''Animated'' version a run for his money, posing to be an intelligent strategist meant to rival Lelouch. Aside from that, various fan favorites are also in the roster as well.]]

* SignatureScene:
** The battle between the Lancelot and Bumblebee.
* SignatureSeriesArc:
** [[spoiler: The last chapters from the SAZ Massacre to the Decepticon invasion of Britannia, which evokes the feeling of a climax from the live-action movies series and the comic story ''All Hail Megatron''.]]

* SpiritualSuccessor: Larger-scale battles, FixFic elements, CanonWelding, characters being [[SparedByTheAdaptation spared]] or [[DeathByAdaptation killed]] in the adaptation are all prevalent in the fic. Clearly, [=Iron117Prime=] wants to put ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' into ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars''. It helps that ''Code Geass'' shows up often in various games, as well as the various ''Anime/BraveSeries'' anime (which was developed thanks to ''Transformers''). Adding to this is the fact that both ''T'' and ''30'' were released during the series' publication period, the latter including the series. To top it off, the game that predates the fic earliest, ''X'', ironically had the ''Code Geass'' characters being the ones helping fix the story of ''Anime/CrossAnge'' (with Lelouch playing a significant role), as well as the presence of the ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'' characters, which gets homaged in the story a fair amount (and coincidently shares its world with ''Code Geass'' in ''X's'' story).
** Special points go to the SparedByTheAdaptation factor. [[spoiler: Euphie and Shirley are spared in ''Saisei-hen'', but come with somewhat questionable methods. Euphie only appears at the end unexplained and requires a GoldenEnding to do so. The same is true of Shirley's fate, requiring a set amount of points to ultimately spare her. Rolo dies both in-story and in ''Saisei-hen''. After that entry however, most of the games featuring ''Code Geass'' never opt to start from the beginning and leave all three dead (although with ''30'' choosing the film continuity, this means Shirley is alive). And this would be the same series to follow through ''[[Anime/MagicKnightRayearth Rayearth]]'''s storyline through [[StationsOfTheCanon from beginning to end]].]]

* AssPull: [[spoiler:How did the Dinobots manage to repair someone like Omega Supreme to full power? Then again, we get to see Omega Supreme fighting with the Dinobots, so RuleOfCool might give this one a little leeway.]]

*** Despite all of them surviving the Black Rebellion this time around, [[spoiler:the Kozuki cell outside of Kallen, Ohgi, and Tamaki all end up dying with little fanfare throughout [=R2=]. Yoshida is offhandedly killed facing Springload in ''Nerves of Steel'', while Inoue, [[DeathByAdaptation Minami, and Sugiyama]] are KilledOffscreen in ''Damocles Rises'', something that isn't even revealed until the following chapter ''The Demon and Dragon Cometh''.]]

*** In canon, the only member of the Asura Strike Force that dies was Johanne Fabius, TakingTheBullet for Ashley during the confrontation at Slonim, the others [[spoiler:all joining Ashley in deserting Euro-Britannia and joining [=wZERO=] in living with the gypsies rather than remain in the war.]] Here, [[spoiler:Jan Manes, Simon Mericourt, and Rene Laurent are all KilledOffscreen too, their deaths only being revealed after the battle was already over. And to add insult to injury, Ashley ''doesn't'' go on a revenge quest for them like he did in canon, and they're pretty much {{forgotten|FallenFriend}} about after his offscreen HeelFaceTurn.]]
