Line 56:
* Animated: This may be the ONLY incarnation of Megatron and Starscream that doesn't have copious amounts whatever the fuck these two have been doing for 25 years. To compensate, they gave us a ''female Starscream clone'', Slipstream, who betrayed Screamer for Megatron.
** Remember, each of Starscream's clones [[Literal Split Personality|represented a different part of his personality]]. There's been a lot of guesses on what Slipstream represented...
* Hell, in ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]'', Starscream and Megatron don't even start on the same SIDE, and they STILL can't stop talking about how "intriguing" they think the other is. The first instance of this happens roughly ten minutes into THE FIRST LEVEL.
* I think that we all just about accept that Megatron/Starscream is canon in every way, shape and form.
** Except [[Transformers Animated|Animated]]
Line 75:
** Which has led, through some weird association, to Optimus/Starscream.
** Megatron is the one with a life-size working model of Optimus hidden in his closet! [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Ultimate_Doom,_Part_1 I'm serious]!
*** Evidently parodied in ''[[Shortpacked (Webcomic)|Shortpacked]]!'' [http://shortpacked.com/comic/book-3-is-totally-gay/01-cadbury-cereal/gaychicken/ here], with Starscream... [[Harvey Birdman, Attorney Atat Law|having Apache Chief's power]], apparently.
*** He actually does have those powers for those exact reasons in ''[[Transformers Cybertron]]''... though I think there might be some... "''other'' implications" in this case.
* Unicron Trilogy: Megatron becomes catatonic when Optimus Prime dies. First Screamer, then Prime!? ''Who is he supposed to'' '''punch?!''' He was naturally quite pleased when Prime came [[Back From the Dead]].
Line 93:
 
== Dinobot/Rattrap ==
* Rattrap from ''[[Transformers]]: [[Beast Wars (Animation)|Beast Wars]]'', despite his talk about the femmebots back home, seems to be laying it on pretty thick with the guys of his team; he has no problem with telling Cheetor just how he "tickles his joystick", tries to talk Silverbolt into going to a robot strip club with him, and even ''kisses Rhinox on the cheek after "saving" him from a fall''. He also gives Rhinox an ever so slight kiss on the lips during the season finale, when both are under the impression that they are going to die at the guns of the Nemesis. Rhinox doesn't seem to have a problem with it (the kiss, not the dying). He doesn't even give a nod to Airazor, and has nothing but contempt for Blackarachnia, the only two females in the series. He ''might'' be [[Anything That Moves|bisexual]].
* Dinobot and Rattrap. [[Vitriolic Best Buds]] sounded too much like an old married couple. And Rattrap became Horatio to Dinobot's Hamlet (he held Dinobot's slaggin' hand until raptors were extinct AGAIN) in the end. We know how [[Ambiguously Gay|ambiguous]] THEY were, raising eyebrows in the theatre part here. Plus the scrapped episode of "Dark Glass" in which Rattrap defies orders to go on a suicide mission to resurrect his personal Pred in the clone.
** The script of Dark Glass would have called for Rattrap to kiss Dinobot, not to mention how protective Dinobot gets over Rattrap's safety.
Line 161:
** I wouldn't call Tracks/Raoul or Hubcap/Jackpot "random", as they both have definite [[Transformers Generation 1|canon]] [[Transformers Trans Tech|roots]]. Snarky best friend pairings = win.
*** Definitely not Tracks/Raoul. Think about it. In both of Tracks' feature episodes ("Make Tracks" and "Auto-Bop"), Raoul is very heavily featured. In the former episode, when Raoul is captured by Megatron, Tracks personally threatens the ''leader of the Decepticon military.'' In both episodes, Raoul risks life and limb to save or otherwise help Tracks. The icing on the Ho Yay cake? Picture all of Tracks and Raoul's scenes playing out between a man and a woman. [[Incredibly Lame Pun|The Ho Yay practically jumps up and kisses you on the mouth.]]
** There's still no explanation for [[Ships That Pass in Thethe Night|Beachcomber/Cosmos]] though. Not that I'm complaining.
* Thanks to [[Transformers Animated|animated]], [[Super Speed|Blurr]] and Longarm{{spoiler|/Shockwave}} has become a popular pairing. Even though this Troper ''is'' a fan of it, she still doesn't understand why, seeing how {{spoiler|Blurr's [[Family-Unfriendly Death]] came at Shockwave's servos.}}
** Blurr and Bumblebee, on the other hand, make for good rivalshipping.
Line 169:
** Don't think the fans haven't noticed the effeminate medic Knock-Out ''wolf-whistling'' at Optimus Prime and complimenting his bodywork.
** Not to mention the [[Foe Yay]] between Bulkhead and Breakdown. Bulkhead is even convinced to help [[Save the Villain|rescue Breakdown]] so that he can have a [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You|rematch of an earlier fight]]! And Breakdown even hesitates to fight Bulkhead after being rescued, despite having his loyalties to the Decepticons questioned.
* The latest [[The Transformers IDW (Comic Book)|IDW series]] ''More Than Meets the Eye'' gives us a couple more possibilities. Rewind and Chromedome are "best friends", with Rewind constantly running after Chromedome like a devoted puppydog, defending him to others, and even cradling his head in his lap when Chromedome is injured at one point. Then there's Skids and Swerve, where Swerve tries his best to convince Skids they'd make a great team but is initially rebuffed... only for Skids to change his mind after Swerve shows a bit of his soul behind the motormouth chatter, and say, "'Skids and Swerve.' That ''does'' sound pretty cool."
