* There's a [[Transformers|Decepticon]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0SOfOKxNU0 Version] of the ''[[Lucky Star]]'' opening. They're the cutest evil robots ever.
** "Humanizing" Transformers is very common in fanart, with wildly varying levels of [[Moe Moe|moe]]. [[The Starscream|Starscream]] tends to be a smarmy pretty-boy. Which...actually makes [[Smug Snake|senmakes]] [[Estrogen Brigade Bait|sesense]].
