History WMG / Transformers

* ''Transformers: Cybertron'' actually at least plays with the concept, and ''Robots in Disguise'' bases a few gags off of how a car could escape its owner without revealing itself as an alien robot. [[Film/{{Transformers}} The 2007 movie]] also explores this, replacing slapstick comedy with a sense of otherworldy awe.

[[WMG: Universe Ratchet is [[Film/{{Transformers}} Movie]] Ratchet.]]

See ''WMG/TransformersCybertron'' for the anime.

* A long running one, but stick with me here. Brawn survived much worse-including getting shot in the head. In the same scene, Ironhide survives his wounds initially, and it takes Megatron shooting him point blank to finish him off. So it's not improbable he could've survived his wounds. Admittedly, he doesn't make an appearance after the Movie-but neither do numerous characters who's survival was confirmed (Sunstreaker, Cliffjumper, Hound, and Jazz).

** Or we could just chalk it up to [[FoeYay Foe Yay?]]

* A line featuring non-Transformers allies and enemies, such as Quintessons, Nebulans, Vok, and humans, with a transformable ally or equipment (including [[{{WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated}} post-upgrade Sari Sumdac]], [[{{WesternAnimation/TransformersGenerationOne}} exo-suit Daniel or Spike, Sharkticons, Allicons, and the Head/Target/Power-masters]]).

The HatePlague behaves a lot like the combined [[StandardStatusEffects Negative Status Effects]] of Berserk and Charm and/or Confuse. Victims even [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/transformers/images/c/c5/Hate_Plague_Rodimus.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20070709042214 glow red]], just like someone [[http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/694179-final-fantasy-viii-playstation-screenshot-one-of-the-game.png afflicted]] with Berserk.

* The only way to become immune to getting turned into an Energy Vampire by the Dweller may be to cast the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' version of [[StandardStatusEffects Zombie]] on one's self, or by using a Relic Ring or Lich Ring from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI''. Undead creatures cause a Drain effect to reverse, meaning the Dweller would have its energy stolen if it tried to drain anyone under the Zombie or general Undead status effect.

This troper has a mental image of Vector Prime with a Death Note, yelling "Light our darkest hour!" every time he writes a name. [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou One of his favorite targets is haters of the]] ''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou Transformers]]'' [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou franchise]]. Remember Steven Wells of ''New Musical Express''? Back in the day, he reviewed the UK comic "Salvage!" (TheOneWith Richard Branson/Mister Johnson getting attacked by Deceptions) and called the Marvel Comics UK ''Transformers'' series a "crap comic" in the process. In 2009, Wells died from enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma. I assume it wasn't the lymphoma that killed Wells but rather Vector Prime and his damn Death Note. Creator/RogerEbert also called ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'' "a horrible experience of unbearable length", and he's dead too, so the real cause of his death might also be Vector Prime using his Death Note. The reason why the concept of Dion being rebuilt was {{Jossed}} by Hasbro with the statement "Dion was never rebuilt into any other character"? Vector Prime had issues with Dion and killed his new incarnation with the Death Note after Dion's rebuild, and altered several other universes to match his killing of Dion.

[[WMG: Cybertronians are a galactic pariah species]]
* The Cybertronian Civil War is older than any other galactic civilization and not restricted to just Cybertron. Wherever Autobots or Decepticons go, the other faction inevitably follows them and destruction ensues. The galactic community knows that and shuns Cybertronians, even to the point of opening fire on sight. "Robots in Disguise" isn't unique to Earth, it applies to the entire galaxy because no civilization wants to see them.

* One focused on mythical/ancient Transformers such as the Thirteen, the Guiding Hand, Demons, Trans-Organics, the Last Autobot, Xal, Primus and Unicron.
* A line featuring non-Transformers allies and enemies, such as Quintessons, Nebulans, Vok and humans, with a transformable ally or equipment (including [[{{WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated}} post-upgrade Sari Sumdac]], [[{{WesternAnimation/TransformersGenerationOne}} exo-suit Daniel or Spike, Sharkticons, Allicons and the Head/Target/Power-masters]]).
* Another IDW-centered toyline, this time focusing on the thirteen colonies of Metrotitans, whit different variations:

** Velocitron: alien-looking, aerodinamic race cars;

*** Ok, so the Micromaster Combiners come from Devisiun; Prion probably has either Mini-Cons, Triple Changers or both;
