History HoYay / Transformers

[[/folder]]

Just to get it out of the way, before Starscream was a know-it-all commander, he was a know-it-all scientist and explorer. And Skyfire/Jetfire was his partner. LAB partner. Yeah... Fanfic count 68.

* In TransformersAnimated, Blitzwing and Lugnut have quite a lot going for them. MAN I wish my printscreen key worked to catch some of the stuff in clips of the show. ''Because it's there.''

** Megatron is the one with a life-size working model of Optimus hidden in his closet! [[http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/The_Ultimate_Doom,_Part_1 I'm serious]]!

* A Mass Guessing theory used to add Prowl to the Bayverse is that [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Barricade really was Prowl]] on an espionage mission.
*** What does that have to do with Prowl/Jazz?

* Subverted in the multiversal fan RPG [[http://tfdeadzone.proboards.com/ Transformers: Deadzone]] where there are currently two Jazzes and one Prowl, and none of them are hooked up.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a Megatron in possession of an EvilPlan must be in want of a [[TheStarscream Starscream]] to have domination-innuendo with. Fanfic count: 211

* Beast Wars II: Oh, let's not and say we did.
* Robots in Disguise: This Megatron's SIC was just as much of a suck-up as Screamer, but actually a NobleDemon, kid lover and poetry writer. Weird. Weirder still is they were Predacons against Autobots. What's up with that?

* ''TransformersEnergon'' has been mentioned and yet Mirage's feelings for Galvatron haven't? In the Japanese version he was 100% Gay-For-Galvatron. The dub either tried to cut it out, or never noticed it was there due to the rush job and incomplete translation, but one mention got in: when the GoldfishPoopGang was jealous of Starscream getting all the credit, Mirage says, "But I've been so loyal! How could Galvatron not know how I feel about him?" The few times his Japanese counterpart's personality is carried over to the US version, it's ''even more hilarious,'' because he retains his deep gravelly voice from when he was Tidal Wave. If you haven't seen it, imagine the line as given by Darth Vader, delivered ''dead seriously''.

* ''TransformersEnergon'' has been mentioned and yet Mirage's feelings for Galvatron haven't? I'm sorry, but that's the REALLY big one. In the Japanese version he was 100% Gay-For-Galvatron.

** Cyclonus gets special mention. Always calls him "Mighty Galvatron," and is always by his side and ''geniunely'' caring about him, no matter how insane he gets... it's actually sweet. And at one point, when Cyclonus is in danger, Galvatron looks back, and hesitates just a moment (before leaving him and saving his own skidplate, of course). From the AxCrazy BadBoss that is G1 Galvatron, that's a lot. Anyone else, he'd have ''thrown'' into the path of [[CosmicHorror the Dweller]] to increase his own chances of escaping.

* Animated: The fact that the first two SeasonFinale battles involved Optimus [[BoundAndGagged bound]] and at Megatron's mercy [[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-images/screen-captures/Transformers-Animated/16-Megatron-Rising-part-2/Transformers+ Animated+ Ep+ 16+++ 00333.jpg.html is]] [[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-images/screen-captures/Transformers-Animated/29-A-Bridge-Too-Close-Part-2/Transformers+ Animated+ Ep+ 29+ 00244.jpg.html fascinating]].

* Sometimes the fans don't even bother with the canon characters and just randomly slash minor characters or OCStandIns. Some combinations include Tracks/Raoul, Cosmos/Beachcomber, and Hubcap/Jackpot, [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters among others.]]

** The point of this exchange was that Starscream had lost his memories and Megatron wanted to make it very clear to the confused mech that he lived for Megatron and Megatron alone. After this, Megs gets the perfect soldier: The rare Starscream who does anything that Megatron commands him to do, without question, and whenever Screamer ''does'' wonder who he is Megatron shuts him up and puts him back in the kitchen. This is because Starscream had died near the end of ''Armada'' in a way that made Megatron regret the whole 'playing my soldiers against each other' thing that led to Starscream's defection; when the others celebrated, Megatron shut them down by replying that Starscream was a better soldier than them all. You can see why he'd be happy that Starscream's back and eager to ensure that history doesn't repeat itself.

* With the page image, notice the kids at the bottom holding hands. They're Cain (the one with the green hair) and Akira from ''TransformersZone'', and are both quite male, and Akira doesn't usually look as feminine as he does in this image. In the OVA, they're very HoYay-tastic, with Akira practically landing in Cain's lap at one point, and both looking at each other, seeing how close they are, blushing, and... not moving away. In the end credits, there's more hand-holding. The only reason the idea that this could be unintended subtext and not an OfficialCouple stands up at ''all'' is the fact that it's ''{{Transformers}},'' [[MerchandiseDriven a show meant to sell toys to 10-year-old boys]].

* Animated: This may be the ONLY incarnation of Megatron and Starscream that doesn't have copious amounts whatever the fuck these two have been doing for 25 years. To compensate, they gave us a ''female Starscream clone'', Slipstream, who betrayed Screamer for Megatron. SoYeah...

*** I've heard the argument DB/RT shippers make saying she was a surrogate for Rhinox, green brainy buddy, but forget Rattrap had more onscreen smooches with Rhinox than BA and Silver had... SoYeah, even in a heteroship Rattrap still gives off homo vibes...

* Heck, when Dinbot is about to ShootYourMate Rattrap, the Japan dub has him utter "be gentle, I hear the first time hurts" [[OrSoIHeard or something.]]
