Bayverse Canon

- Wheeljack and Que are two separate characters. Que was actually Wheeljack's lab partner and fellow inventor. Que's actual name was Downshift.

- Leadfoot, Topspin, and Roadbuster weren't the only Wreckers. Hound and Crosshairs were also part of the team but with how Hardheaded both Roadbuster and Crosshairs were they decided to part ways. Hound only traveled with Crosshairs to make sure he didn't get killed.

- Soundwave was brought back to life during the events of Age of Extinction. His body was used for a separate project in KSI code named Soundblaster. During Galvatron's raid on the KSI, he gave Soundwave consciousness in his new body. He was able to survive the events of the film. Soundblaster then lurked in the shadows during The Last Knight. Megatron didn't choose him for his team seeing how valuable he was and didn't want his death on his hands again.

- Bumblebee disappears from the junkyard occasionally. The other bots notice but don't really care. He usually disappears for weeks but always comes back. When he leaves he goes to visit Sam in secret. Seeing him and Carly have continuing living their life and have a child. Unfortunately he is never able to stay very long or even transform. Doing so would put Sam and his family in danger.

- Optimus slowly became Nemesis Prime throughout the films. Each time he would rage or say something murderous that was Quintessa trying to gain control over him. When he went into a rage he blanked out and once it was over he'd come back to his senses.

- The events of The Reign of Starscream take place between Movie 1 and Revenge of The Fallen. Starscream's marks read "There was never peace through tyranny."

- Shockwave never actually died in Dark of the Moon. He was damaged quite a bit but not fully destroyed. After the events of the film he went and burrowed with the remains of the Drillwr in the underground and went through stasis repairing himself. During The Last Knight he was awakened fully repaired when Unicron started to awaken.

- The Knights of Cybertron and Iacon Knights (Dinobots) didn't get a long. They were eating factions in early Cybertron history. There were many more Dinobots but in the war with the Knoghts of Cybertron many of them were killed.

 

Grapple is an accomplished hand-to-hand combatant who excels in grabs and throws, though one might say that his claw helps in that regard. (But not to his face.)

 

That's actually a really cool interpretation of movieverse Optimus' personality.

 

The TRF was created by the UN so another Cemetery Wind couldn't exist. Many members were part of NEST (Lennox, Morshower, Epps), but not to fight former allies. Rather, they were picked specifically because of their time with the Autobots. The higher ups of TRF hoped to to strike an alliance in the hunt for the Decepticons *heh* but they only trust Optimus for negotiation talks.

Santos and his men? UN peacekeeping forces. He and his team had a white-list of Autobots to not kill. This included Bumblebee, Drift, Crosshairs, Hound, and all the Autobots alive post-DOTM that Lockdown hadn't already killed. They have the right to incapitate, but not to kill. Canopy was killed because unsurprisingly, he wasn't on it. Even neutrals who aren't Autobots in the traditional sense like Daytrader, Trench, and Anthony Hopkin's bots would be killed if TRF saw them.

Humanity never betrayed the Autobots like people like to say. Most of them actually agreed to having them around to protect against the Decepticons. The problem is just that they knew too goddamn little. I wouldn't trust my life on a stranger and neither would humanity. And NEST operations ate a massive portion of the US's military budget. So more taxes supporting a bunch of living metal we've never seen in real life, fuck yes! Even during the hayday of NEST in DOTM, most of NEST's missions were top secret and barely reported by the media. We wanted Transformers out of Earth not because we were ungrateful to the heroes, we just thought it'd be nice if Autobots and Decepticons could both GTFO and bring their war somewhere else but Earth. Which is a pretty rational thing to think of.

Even as Cemetery Wind began hunting Autobots, everyone still thought they were just getting the Decepticons. When news of their crimes broke out through Hong Kong, public opinion of the Autobots turned in their favour yet again and so TRF was established. The UN figured that if a Transformer were found, instead of killing it the TRF would have it captured to first check for allegiance. While governments are full of assholes, they weren't idiots. The Decepticons would've wiped their asses clean four times if it weren't for the Autobots. So like it or not, we'll need to keep them alive for the sake of humanity. We don't pity them, they're just too valuable to kill for scrap metal and cheap knock-off robots.

They will however, kill anyone regardless of faction that tries to harm humans, which is what Santos assumed with Canopy. Some surrended just in time before getting the boot like Mohawk, Dreadbot, and Nitro. And they definitely do kill Decepticons.

Remember the Crowbar and Hatchet from concept art covered in anarchy paint?

Where men cried.

 

There's a claim that depending with certain Cybertronian, it's possible for them to unlock an incredibly powerful "Hyper Mode" when they're completely in a serene state of mind, and this "mode" allows them to fight far beyond their physical limits. This "Hyper Mode" is said to be the highest state of mind for a Cybertronian, a serene calm that cannot be broken by even the most treacherous of dangers. With certain claims, when a Cybertronian successfully enter this so-called "Hyper Mode", their body completely changes color into a vibrant, glowing metallic yellow color, their eyes glows in a bright light blue color, with a greater strength, mobility, reflexes, and immunity to injuries far beyond a normal Cybertronian.

Despite some testimonies and a few scientific investigations that showcases that something like this isn't completely nonsense, this claim was still nothing more than an interesting, but not proven century-old conspiracy rumor among Cybertronian society due to a lack of evidence.

 

Bumble Bee and Cliffjumper are twins.
Hatchlings are born artificially.

 

That's.. brilliant.

 

Volcanicus and Piranacon are rivals. The bestial nature and fighting prowess of the dinobots are the best defense against the Seacons

 

There are no "Sparklings" outside of the shithole that is Fanfiction.net and the hellscape that is DeviantArt.

When a Transformer comes online, they are fully-developed, full-size robots, initially mute but very adaptive, quick-learning, and impressionable. Once found by society, they're taken to a community learning center where they learn fundamental basics of life within a week, and the more detailed facets over a few months. By then they already have the intelligence and social skills of a human teenager. No stupid robot babies anywhere.

 

I've always liked the concept of the Autobots being the lower-middle class members of society who had no prior military experience. The advantage they do have, however, is the sheer number of industry workers and scientists. This makes them less effective as fighters, but when working together they can overcome challenges. Their abundance of medics and rescue workers both helps their image as benevolent heroes and allows them to recover from injuries quicker.

The Decepticons in turn were more military or government aligned with very few medics or builders (so much so that they need an entire specialized group for any construction work). This limits their ability to repair the injured or rebuild their bases, but is balanced out by the likes of Shockwave constantly making new technology to augment them.

 

Mechanics of the Punch of Kill Everything
-By using Lugnut's gravity generators on a living cybertronian, lugnut is able to exude enough force to instantly collapse the spark chamber of most cybertronians
-If the P.O.K.E. doesn't connect toward his opponent's center mass( or the head for headmasters) , lugnut's payload detonates as a contingency, resulting in an explosion that normally finishes the job
-Upon a direct hit, the P.O.K.E or it's resultant explosion is fatal to most cybertronians. This excludes combiners, titans, phase-sixers, Heavily armored opponents like ultra magnus or powerful pretenders, primes, Omega Sentinels, and split duocons.
-Typically, it is used for execution, but has battle field applications as a siege engine, deterrent, flash-bang, or pool builder.
-It can be used three times per hand (Animated swimming pool bit) before needing to recharge

 

Bumblebee is an Spy sent by unicorn to spy on every universe (except prime wars trilogy) and to recon back to His master.

 

Never like the idea of baby bots either. I don’t hate it, but I do dislike the concept. IMO they would be the equivalent of someone around 5-15 years of age. I can see them being emotionally infants, but that’s me. But to have them physically babies is silly to me. I’m okay with them being kids or teenagers. After all if we can have elderly bots like Kup, then I can’t see why we can’t have child and teenage Cybertronians. It’s silly, but no more silly then them having genders, mouths, being elderly and other nonsense stuff. You know what. After writing that down, all of that could apply to baby bots. Okay I don’t mind baby bots as long as they didn’t came through sex, but I still don’t like them. I still prefer them being like older children or teenagers.

However I don’t really see your headcanon as a headcanon because baby bots had never existed in the Transformers universe (expect in the bayverse). We have Wheelie and the young rescue bots, but they’re more like kids or teens then babies. Outside of the bayverse, we never saw baby bots. We did saw kids like Wheelie, but never babies. Thank goodness for that.

 

I never understood why some fans have a problem with babyformers. Yeah they don’t make any sense, but neither do bots being senior citizen. Okay bots do get old, but not the same way humans do (transformers get old the same way we do). Like the person above me, if we can have bots who are the equivalent of 65 year old; then we can have those who are the equivalent of those less then 13. I cannot not see why Transformers shouldn’t build themselves a child or a baby and why some fans have a problem with that. It wouldn’t make any sense scientifically, but TFs is sci-fi fantasy/soft sci-fi and not hard sci-fi fiction. They’re alien robots. They shouldn’t be bond by earth robot rules. I like baby transformers.

 

I think you answered your own question there.

I have no problem with a new Transformer that lacks experience and thus is inherently “young and dumb” or the grizzled “old” bot who has “seen everything” and complains about the new models. But the idea of an infant-sized bot that others have to literally feed and care for is kind of ridiculous in logic and lazy in creation. It’s the same problem I have with ideas of dichotomous gender in the Transformers. It makes little sense thematically and reeks of uncreativity.* Porting human concepts over to a robot race seems boring when their existence offers a fantastic blank canvas from which to work.

*The only even half-way good explanation I’ve heard was the suggestion that Cybertronians adopted the look when they encountered other species and wanted to make them feel more comfortable. That’s kind of interesting and offers the opportunity to explore how Cybertronians interpret things like gender and see other beings in the universe.

 

To the mods:
had to sign under new username because I forget my username and delete my yahoo account. So I have to start all over.

Eh I changed my mind. I don’t really find baby transformers illogical. I guess you could say it’s boring, but not nonsense to me. Strangely though I find robo sex illogical. I

Well I do find them illogical too, but at the same time I don’t mind them and I do like them. They are no more illogical then some of the other stuff in Transformers. I don’t care for babyformers or genders in TF. I don’t like to take things too seriously in TF.

 

Blackout is a Phase Sixer

 

G1 Shockwave's hand is radioactive and undergoing nuclear meltdown, emitting massive amounts of gamma particles, and is capable of melting many Cybertronian metals, hence why it glows pink. He has a lavender glove made of a particularly dense Cybertronian alloy with an internal electromagnetic pulse emitter that neutralizes the gamma rays he can wear when he needs to use a keyboard.

We're lucky he never came to Earth.

 

(Got this idea from Japanese media) Primus is Primacron's assistant, who became Vector Sigma and created the Cybertronian race. He was an energy being capable of inhabiting metal bodies. He was the first of many "Primacron's Assistants", (I'll call them Oracles, because that is the canon name of Primacron's assistant), each of whom were spread throughout the galaxy after Unicron, a creation of Primacron's made to explore the galaxy, turned on him. Most Oracles, including Primus, inhabited planets and their energy created life on their separate planets. One of the Oracles, Devil Z, was lost in space, and after finding his own home in the Shadow Zone, chased his own ambitions and brainwashed and renamed several Decepticons, including a clone of Scorponok. Also, Autonomous Maximus from the Marvel Comics was one of the Primes, who, after millennia, eventually turned into a figure of mystery in Cybertronian religion, AKA the 13th Prime, AKA the Arisen. Also, since he's the Arisen, that would make him the opposite of the Fallen, especially since one has an Autobot insignia for a face and the other, at least a few versions of the other, have the Decepticon insignia for a face. Onslaught has a Russian accent. Brawl has a cockney accent. Swindle has a New York accent. Vortex has a French accent. Blast-Off has a German accent. A lot of the unnamed Primes we see in G1, along with Logos Prime, were not members of the 13, but were different Primes who ruled over the Autobots, with Logos Prime being a 'bot of culture during the Golden Age, especially famous for composing the Empyrean Suite. King Poseidon(Masterforce) is the ruler of the oceanic Cybertronian Colony known as Aquatron, so he can finally live up to his name. Beast Wars 2 Skywarp is an alternate universe's version of Skywarp, much like Prowl 2 and Wheeljack in Victory, who had a change of heart. Nemesis Prime is Dion. Roller is to Optimus what dogs are to humans.

 

From the movies: Most Mixmaster units/lookalikes were purely melee combatants, using their alt-mode's barrel as a makeshift shield to charge up and tear enemies apart with their claws. Only a select few have cannons as part of their bodies and the cannon mode displayed during Operation: Firestorm.
