Ensemble Darkhorse/Western Animation/Transformers: Difference between revisions

* [[Large Ham|Straxus]] was a character created specifically for the Marvel Comics, a deranged tyrant who basically existed to be killed off by Blaster after he killed Blaster's best buddy. However, Simon Furman revived him and had him {{spoiler|retroactively [[Hijacked by Ganon|hijack a lot of badass Megatron moments]].}} He eventually got a rather awesome Deluxe class toy in Generations.

* And in yet another case of "Decepticon leader who's better than [[General Failure|Megatron]]," we have [[Cyber Cyclops|Shockwave]]. In the cartoon, he was just a dull [[Yes-Man]], essentially a poor man's Soundwave. In the comics, he was the Big Bad for most of Budiansky's run, and his reason for [[The Starscream|constantly and successfully usurping Megatron]]? It's because he simply deems it logical, whilst also averting the [[Straw Vulcan]] trope in actually ''being'' logical.

* [[Hulk Speak|Me]] [[Everything's Better with Dinosaurs|Grimlock!]] It helps that he is regarded as Simon Furman's signature character in the comics.

* Swerve is quickly turning into this in the fandom thanks to Roberts' portrayal of him in ''More Than Meets the Eye''. He's gone from being used in past continuities as a filler character with no real distinct personality, to being a very chatty mischievous smartass with a [[Boisterous Bruiser]] personality packed into a minibot body.
