Ensemble Darkhorse/Western Animation/Transformers: Difference between revisions

* 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.

* Most of the characters from ''[[Transformers Last Stand of the Wreckers]]'' became this, but the biggest example is [[The Knights Who Say Squee|Ironfist]]. He even got an [[Transformers Animated|TFA incarnation]] complete with a toy!

* 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.

* Roberts' original character Rung, the Autobot psychologist, is also gaining a fangirl posse, due mainly to his [[Adorkable|adorkably]] gangly and goggle-eyed design and his equally adorkable [[Butt Monkey]] and slightly naive personality.

* Laserbeak, the coldblooded assassin who works for Soundwave.

* Bonecrusher is this for [[Memetic Mutation|hating everything.]]

* Flatline quickly became this. Essentially the Decepticon equivalent to [[Mad Doctor|Josef Mengele]], he's arguably more [[Complete Monster|vile]] than his universe's [[Big Bad|Megatron]] - Which is saying something. A ''lot'' of fans want to see a toy of him that turns into a hearse.

* Barricade, the police car Decepticon. It doesn't hurt that in the video game adaptations, he's voiced by '''[[Keith David]]'''.

 

== [[Transformers Shattered Glass]] ==

* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness|It has occurred to me that this page is dreadfully absent of the cunning and debonair Grimlock]], [[Verbal Tic|wot]]?
