So an employee and I the other day got talking about Christmas and Transformers and that led us to joking about what The Twelve Days of Christmas would be like if all about Transformers. But to make things more difficult/interesting we decided that whatever was picked for each day HAD to make sense with the number. IE, we couldn't go "7 Decepticons Blasting". There had to be a logic to it. We were able to come up with some good ideas but didn't finish it... and I decided it would be fun to post a thread here so all of us could complete the song.

I'll update as ideas come in until we have the completed list. And if people have better suggestions let me know (I admit that for 5 I debated Five Predacons or Five Faces of Evil!).

On the twelfth day of Christmas Primus gave to me...

Twelve Functionists

Eleven Allspark Fragments

Ten Deadliest Killers

Nine Garrus Prisons

Eight Godmasters

Seven Clones of Starscream

Six forms of Sixshot

Five Faces of Darkness!

Four Planet Keys

Three Triple Changers

Two Duocons

And a matrix in Prime's chest cavity!

 

Seven ancient primes (movie verse)

Four planet keys (Cybertron)

 

FIIIIIIIVE GOOOOOLDEN DIIIIIIISKS!

 

Eleven Allspark Fragments (Animated?)

 

Updated with a few really good suggestions!

 

This is awesome. Does "9 Seekers seeking" work?

 

Sadly you can’t do ‘13 demon generals a-killing’
And for five how about five faces of darkness

 

I don't think the number works but I like the line. In animated there's eight with names:

Starscream
Ego (Thundercracker)
Cowardice (Skywarp)
Sycophancy (Sunstorm)
Deceitfulness (Ramjet)
Greed (Dirge)
Envy (Thrust)
And Slipstream

While Sunbow has 12: the three classics, three cone heads, 3 rainmakers, and 3 in the welcoming committee.

 

8 Predacons terrorizing.

 

8 Octopunch tentacles punching?

 

Seven Clones of Starscream!

 

Eight Squadron Xers?

 

I would've done 5 Dinobots

 

That's perfect!

 

I would have seven clones of Scourge

Eight Decepticon Mates are Drinking (Microbots)

Five Faced Quints are fleeing.

Sorry, just a G1 fan.

 

Except there aren't really 5 dinobots anymore. Slash, Paddles, Scorn, Strafe...

 

Twelve TwinTwists Twerking
Eleven 'Lil Erectors
Ten Titans Towering
Nine Gnaws a-Nom-ing
Eight Angry Archers
Seven Swooping Seekers
Six Sixshots Sexting
Five Lucky Drawwwwwws (golden discs is great too)
Four Calibursts
Three Clench hands
Two Turtlers
And the T-rex says 'Me Grimlock, King!'

 

Or just listen to Bob Rivers' "The Twelve Pains of Christmas":

"I WANNA TRANSFORMA, FOR CHRISTMAAAS!"

 

G1 had 10 combiners (well, in the US anyway...)
Devastator, Superion, Menasor, Bruticus, Defensor, Computron, Abominus, Predaking, Piranacon, Monstructor
So it could be "10 Combiners combining", or it could fit better with "10 gestalts combining"
I'm trying to come up with something for 8 and 9...

EDIT:

This is awesome. Add it NOW  

EDIT #2:
How about "8 Kup war stories"  

 

Figured out Number 9: There are 9 Prisons named Garrus, from Garrus-1 to Garrus-9. So We have nine locked in. Also changed the Number 5 slot because Five Faces of Evil is just more iconic.

That leaves us one more slot, for number 8.
