* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Amongst other things, according to the wiki:
** Cyclonus is Galvatron's neglected and abused boyfriend.
** Optimus Prime is [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_many_deaths_of_Optimus_Prime suicidal]]. Also, Bayverse Optimus is a BloodKnight who [[TearOffYourFace collects faces]].
** Tracks is gay.
** [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Treadshot_(G1) Treadshot]] is a cowboy.
** Drift is a weeaboo fan character (sadly, this wasn't that far off from canon when he was first introduced).
** Streetwise is a ''Film/{{Shaft}}''-esque beat cop.
** [[MemeticMutation Ramjet]] [[RunningGag likes toast]].
** [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Stinger_(AOE) Stinger]] is the hot new sports car of the season.
** [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Heavy_Barrel_(Cybertron) Heavy Barrel]] is [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Ned Flanders]].
** They believe that [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Martin_and_Roland Martin and Roland]] from the G1 episode [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/B.O.T._(episode) B.O.T.]] are destined to become serial killers.
** [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nemesis_Prime_(G1) Nemesis Prime]] [[Literature/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas hates Christmas]] due to a bizarre toy bio that describes him destroying Santa's workshop ([[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer yes, that's a real thing; the wiki is just as confused by it as you]]).
** Across multiple continuities, Barricade is obsessed with terrorizing [[Film/Transformers2007 [=LadiesMan217=]]].
** [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Wildbreak Wildbreak]] is [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Knock Out and Breakdown's]] son.
* BrokenBase: The revived "Ask Vector Prime". Some see it as great additions to the canon, others see it as a way for people to force their own headcanons into official status. Many arguments have broken out over this, and a similar feature for the Gobots has pointedly not been allowed to be catalogued.
* DemonicSpiders: Discussed. [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Donald_Duck#Monochrome The monochrome variant]] of WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck's Transformers toy is captioned "One of the most irritating Heartless enemies" with a link to the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' [[https://www.khwiki.com/ Wiki]]'s [[https://www.khwiki.com/Hot_Rod page]] for the Hot Rod mook from ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII''[[note]]which is primarily encountered in Timeless River, a DeliberatelyMonochrome world[[/note]], itself an example of this trope as explained on [[YMMV/KingdomHeartsII that video game's YMMV page]].
* DiscreditedMeme: The wiki's stance on [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/JaAm JaAm]] has shifted over time. One of the more well-known ''Transformer'' memes for about two decades since the TurnOfTheMillennium, in 2020 the site re-evaluated it after a discussion on their Discord server and now considers it to be dated for its use of ableist humour, [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Wiki:Captions#Captions_and_jokes_we.27re_sick_of discouraging users]] from making references to it.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Shattered Glass Ravage, who's become the site's unofficial mascot.
* FandomVIP: The Wiki is run by a few of them, including [[WebComic/{{Walkyverse}} David Willis]], Greg Sepelak and Trent Troop (the latter two are also the team behind the "Isle of Rangoon" web show).
* FanPreferredCouple: As [[http://til-all-are-one.tumblr.com/post/78164135779/needsabouttreefiddy-lesnee-rorby-guess some have noted]], they seem to have a thing for Cyclonus/Galvatron and Starscream/Jetfire, though the former is mostly PlayedForLaughs.
* GeniusBonus: Some of the image captions and snark can fall under this, as the editors have a love of obscure references, particularly ones carefully themed to the subject being discussed.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
** In general, the wiki has moments where the articles drop the snark and [[SugarWiki/GushingAboutShowsYouLike joyfully gush about how cool something is]]. The wiki ''is'' about a franchise that everybody editing on there passionately loves, after all.
** There are also pages for RealLife people who have worked on the series where it's made clear that the wiki admins, and fans in general, have nothing but love, respect, and admiration for. One big example is Creator/PeterCullen, whose page has little to no snark and simply plays up how great of a guy he is.
** The featured article on the main page, which is usually changed at the beginning of each month, was changed in the middle of March in 2019 to the article on ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' co-writer Larry [=DiTillio=], in the light of his recent passing.
** The featured article for May 2020 was changed to Swindle from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' in the wake of the passing of Creator/FredWillard.
** Much like the above, the featured article for January 2022 was changed to Derrick J. Wyatt, the character designer for ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'', after his untimely passing in December.
** The Notes page for the entry on [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/You You]] (as in, any time a piece of Transformers media has directly involved the viewer) consists of three simple words: "You're pretty awesome."
** Their page on Steven Caple Jr., director of ''Rise of the Beasts'', lists his filmmaking accomplishments as well as the fact that as of this writing, he is the youngest and first director of color to helm a live action ''Transformers'' film. All of this culminates in the page image caption: "[[SoProudOfYou We're so proud of him.]]"
** The caption on the picture for Don Messick the voice actor of Ratchet, Gears and Scavenger in the original Generation One Cartoon.
--->"We can't bring ourselves to be snarky; he rocked"
** There's a sense of relief in the Notes section for former [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Tommy_Kennedy Tommy Kennedy]] actor [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Jason_Jansen Jacob Jansen]] about how it turned out he was doing fine and grew up to be just a normal guy, considering the unfortunate fates of many children who were professional actors.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** As the wiki itself pointed out on [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Anthony_Hopkins the page for]] Creator/AnthonyHopkins, his being cast in ''Film/TransformersTheLastKnight'' was this in light of jokes they made about [[Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs his most famous role]] for [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Rampage]] and ''WesternAnimation/{{Beast|Machines}}''[[WesternAnimation/BeastMachines -era Megatron]].
** In the intro for the page on the final issue of ''New Avengers/Transformers'', the wiki joked about a crossover between ''Transformers'' and ''{{Franchise/Terminator}}''. Fast-forward 12 years, and, [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_vs._The_Terminator well...]] They fully lampshaded this of course.
--->"Remember when we pitched this concept as a JOKE?"
** For years, their page about [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Trademark trademarks]] stated that the addition of prefixes to names that are too common to trademark as standalone words (such as "Autobot Jazz") doesn't mean that you can add a prefix or suffix to a preexisting trademarked name to make it your own, otherwise for example Bandai would be able to sell stuff like [[Franchise/PowerRangers the Power Rangers Transformers with their Optimus Prime Megazord]] and get away with it. Coincidentially, Hasbro bought out ''Power Rangers'' from Saban and Bandai in 2018, and as of now the statement has been changed to [[Franchise/{{Gundam}} the Gundam Transformers with their Optimus Prime Gunpla]] to maintain the Bandai reference.
* MemeticBadass: Parodied and PlayedForLaughs with [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Thundercracker_(Animated) Animated Thundercracker]] and [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Joe_Colton Joe Colton]].
** [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/John_Barber John Barber]], for un-snarling the Movie-verse's many {{Continuity Snarl}}s.
** [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Buzzsaw_(G1) Buzzsaw]], due to him kicking the asses of numerous people in the Marvel comics, including an infamous scene where he singlehandedly takes down ''[[TheJuggernaut Omega Supreme]]''.
** [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ron Ron]], a random homeless guy who plays an extra in the first Live-Action film.
-->"[[MundaneMadeAwesome The man, the myth, the legend.]]"
** Creator/FrankWelker retains his reputation on the wiki, which refers to him not as a voice actor, but a voice ''god''.
* MemeticLoser: Bay-verse Jolt, who was shoehorned into ''Revenge of the Fallen'' with minimal screen time, yet has quite a bit of merchandise, is played up as an impotent wannabe movie star in his page's image captions.
* MemeticMutation:
** [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Bonecrusher_(Movie) Bonecrusher]] [[HatesEveryoneEqually hates everything]]. It got so widespread that it had to be banned.
** Know that Razorclaw's famous meme has [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Razorclaw_(G1) been]] [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Razorclaw_(BW) applied]] [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Razor_Claw to]] [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Razorclaw_(Universe) every]] [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Razorclaw_(Cybertron) incarnation's]] [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Razorclaw_(SG) entry]]. {{Lampshade}}d in the last one, but [[MirrorUniverse that's]] ''ComicBook/TransformersShatteredGlass''. Even a character who's a ''repaint'' of Razorclaw has for their caption, "Know that I am '''not''' Razorclaw!"
** [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Prime_(G1) Optimus Prime's]] [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Prime_(Movie) desire]] [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Prime_(Animated) for faces]] [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Prime_(SG) is referenced]] every third Prime or so. Even the [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Empurata page on Empurata]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice gets in on it!]]
** Though just about all of the Furmanisms get used repeatedly, the most commonly found one is "Like a vast, predatory bird". Expect to find it waiting in any profile on a Transformer with a bird alternate mode, lurking like a patient bird of prey.
** TOAST!
** Prowl is a [[{{Jerkass}} prick]].
** Skywarp pushing people down stairs.
** "My Autobot counterpart Punch is nearby. ''[[PaperThinDisguise Real nearby]]''."
** "And every other toy was thrown away" is used whenever a highly-anticipated and really good updated toy for a character is demonstrated. Although this one became [[DiscreditedMeme discredited]], and is now in their [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_Wiki:Captions#Captions_and_jokes_we.27re_sick_of list of captions not to use.]]
* NightmareFuel: The page for "[[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Void Void]]". Just a simple white, blank page with a tiny picture of Unicron curled up in the center. Roll over the picture to get some [[BlatantLies totally funny]] alt text.
-->"[[spoiler:'''I SLUMBER''']]"
* TakeThatScrappy: [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Tyrannocon_Rex Tyrannocon Rex]]'s opening caption.
-->"Hopefully she eats those two annoying kids (Zach and Gray, weirdly enough given they aren’t considered scrappies) from ''Film/JurassicWorld'' and NOT the kids from ''[[WesternAnimation/JurassicWorldCampCretaceous Camp Cretaceous]]''."
* UnconventionalLearningExperience: Given the MerchandiseDriven nature of Transformers, the wiki covers quite a bit about what goes into the making and sale of toys and how it affects the various media.
