''[[More Than Meets the Eye]].'' Oh so much...
 
''Please do note that this Fan Fiction include elements from the films in the recent live-action movie trilogy '''[[Transformers (Filmfilm)|(Film) Transformers]]''' and the original 1986 [[Transformers Generation 1|Generation One]] animated film. '''[[Transformers the Movie|Transformers: The Movie]]''' (1986).''
 
----
 
Every ''[[Transformers]]'' fan has his or her way of intepreting their own version of the Transformers Universe, and this Fan Fiction is one of the many takes on that itself. An [[Alternate Universe]]/[[Adaptation Distillation]] drawing primarily from the [[Transformers Generation One1]] and the [[Transformers (Filmfilm)|(Film) Transformers]] with its sequels, but with some massive changes in its storyline, and then including a peppering (and sprinkling) of influences from many other '''Transformers Universes''' and Series. In actual fact, Transformers Alter Verse is meant to take all those stories, put them all in a blender, throw in some anime and western cartoon influences, and create some [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]](s) for itself as a ''[[Transformers]]'' Fan Fiction in its own right. Also at the same time, this Fan Fiction tries to keep true to the ''[[Transformers]]'' Universe on a cohesive whole as much as possible, but deviates from some of the major storyline in the movie and cartoon series due to the large amounts of '''Transformers''' and Human Own Characters ([[Original Character]] [s]) introduced in the entire story. [[Captain Obvious|Of course]], [[Your Mileage May Vary]] on the story and characters themselves too.
 
This Transformers Fan Fiction story is started back on March 8, year 2008 by a deviantart artist known as Taiya001 [http://www.taiya001.deviantart.com link here] , and as of 2010, has approximately 40 plus chapters worth of stories and several drabbles that expands on the characters on each different faction, their thoughts and motivations behind the Great War, and bridge the gaps during the time skips between the chapters. The series is currently ongoing, but due to [[Real Life]] problems and day-to-day business, updates are few and inbetween. There are currently three major story arcs, and each consists of three chapters each, albeit like a trilogy, and they all have been posted. The entire series so far, can be viewed at Taiya001's deviantart homepage [http://taiya001.deviantart.com/journal/25603986/ here] , and the Drabble stories and some of the [[Original Character]](s) can be found here on Victortky's deviantart homepage [http://victortky.deviantart.com/gallery/12609971 here]
Line 27:
This Transformers Fann Fiction is currently worked upon by seven deviants (known as the magnificent 7), and they are Taiya001 [http://www.taiya001.deviantart.com link here], Sketchfan [http://www.sketchfan.deviantart.com link here], Victortky [http://www.victortky.deviantart.com link here], slyer0, Dark Lord Jadow, Dragonjg and Bonitaprime. The first three are the main writers, while the other four have just recently joined in. Any interested parties please notify the first three deviants on their respective pages.
 
Please add more Character Tropes to the [[Transformers Alter Verse (Fanfic)/Characters|Character Sheet]], and also be sure to check out the [[Transformers Alter Verse (Fanfic)/Funny|Crowning Moment of Funny]] page, the [[Transformers Alter Verse (Fanfic)/Heartwarming|Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] page, the [[Transformers Alter Verse (Fanfic)/Awesome|Crowning Moment of Awesome]] page, as well as the [[Transformers Alter Verse (Fanfic)/Tear Jerker|Tear Jerker]] page.
 
There has been soundtracks the creators recommended fans to listen to when reading this Fan Fiction story, which can be found on the [[Crowning Music/Transformers Alter Verse|Crowning Music of Awesome]] page. This include Character theme songs, [[Theme Music Power-Up]] battle moments, and [[Crazy Awesome]] [[Badass]] Action moments.
Line 54:
** The female NEST and Joes, as well as the {{spoiler|FSOF troopers.}}
* [[Action Survivor]]: Many of the main [[Original Character]](s) have survived battles and conlficts that would have killed lesser characters, and they are doing a pretty good job at it. (so far) Applies to the Transformers too during their various battles.
* [[A -Cup Angst]]: Depends on which female character you are talking about...Human or Cybertronian?
** Most of the female characters are well-endowed, although that's not stopping the younger ones from suffering a case of [[A -Cup Angst]] when looking at their peers who have "assets".
** Transformer-wise, not so much.
* [[Adaptational Badass]]: The major Autobots and Decepticons again receives this treatment in this Fan Fiction.
** Megatron was said to have gone solenoid to solenoid with Sentinel Prime and won the battle narrowly...by killing the latter in the Uprising Battle of Kaon.
** Starscream was able to take on many Autobot Seekers and win, as well as decimating many {{spoiler|Seraphim ships}} single-handedly alone. Playing [[Stepping Stones in Thethe Sky]] with Human F-22 Raptors in the sky in the Battle of Mission City counts too. Truth be told, he was one of the major commanders of Cybertronians seeker fleet before he joined the Decepticons.
** Optimus Prime and Ironhide actually fought back to back during the final defense of Iacon, along with the majority of the Autobots. [[Back-to-Back Badasses]] indeed!
** Soundwave's cassettes, such as Rumble, Frenzy, Laserbeak, Ravage...as well as Blaster's Steel Jaw, Ramhorn, Rewind, Eject also counts too, as they can take on other Transformers many times their size...and give them a run for their energon.
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: This Fan Fiction series takes examples from both the television [[Transformers Generation One1]] and 2007 Michael Bay Film series and its comic counterparts, and adds in characters and concepts from all over the Transformers Continuities and also includes some anime, game and other movie influences into its story concepts.
* [[Alien Among Us]]: The Transformers had been hiding among the humans on Earth for a long time before their relevation in the modern years. The earlier Transformers have came to Earth in the distant past (about 17,000 BC) to build the solar harvester in plain sight of Earth's inhabitants, and the ancestors of humanity were little more than living in caves at that time.
* [[Alien Invasion]]: There are some individuals and organisations among the humans on Earth believe that the Transformers are planning a full scale invasion of Earth. Unfortunately, they aren't very far off from the truth. Hence they have taken steps to ensure that this does not happen...by any means necessary. [[Subverted Trope|Subverted, however,]] in that the Autobots have no real reason to invade and the Decepticons either wanted to turn Earth into part of the Decepticon Empire or would rather [[Kill All Humans]]. The Decepticons Modus Operandi is to destabilise planetary government, escalate tensions, and then watch the race wiped itself out in global conflicts before getting their hands on the resources of the planet itself.
Line 70:
** Many Transformers characters have all or most of their characterisation provided in datatrack profiles written by the creators themselves.
** Expect these MTMTE ([[More Than Meets the Eye]]) profiles to have [[Continuity Nod]](s), [[Mythology Gag]](s) and even lots of [[Continuity Porn]] inside.
* [[Alternate Continuity]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played with sometimes.]] There have been some roleplay among the creators themselves to see what kind of alternate story paths and endings they can create.
* [[Alternate History]]: This story tries to stay as true as possible to [[Real Life]] in this continuity/universe. Aside from some minor changes, Earth is pretty much the same in 2000s to present day.
* [[Alternate Universe]]: [[Captain Obvious|Of course]], this story is set in an [[Alternate Universe]] completely, which mean things may not work out the way it seemed, and unexpected things happened at unexpected times. [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Expect many Tropes to be played.]]
* [[Always Chaotic Evil]]: [[Eldritch Abomination|Unicron]], The Fallen and his [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] plays this Trope painfully straight.
* [[Ancient Astronauts]]: Two cases actually: One case is that the primes and a large group of cybertronians came to Earth to build the solar harvester in the distant past. Another case is that the Ark and the Nemsis crashed on Earth for another long period of time before the Transformers from both sides awakened. [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Kind of played with]] as the cybertronians influenced the Egyptians to worship the solar harvester as a gift from their gods in the Egyptian religions, which rises some eyebrows when revealed.
* [[America Saves the Day]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Some of the times they do, and some of the times they don't.
* [[Ancient Keeper]]: Vector Prime (guardian of space time), Omega Supreme (guardian of crystal city and core of Cybertron), Metroplex, Trypticon and Gigatron (ancient warrior of Primus) all qualify as this. {{spoiler|Some of the Seraphims, especially the High Council and the Ancient Ones, also counts as this.}}
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Megatron counts as this in this continuity. Would be explored more later in the later chapters.
Line 117:
** {{spoiler|Done by almost all of the major characters in the [[Grand Finale]], in the Final Battle against Unicron and his armies of darkness.}}
** '''What? This Fan Fiction loves this Trope!'''
* [[Back Stab]]: Starscream tends to do this at times, both literally and figuratively. Melvin, the son of Mark Mc Alister, is also one annoying backstabber, which is '''[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]'''.
* [[Bad Future]]: [[Screw Destiny]]! This story will see the major characters [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]. With EXTREME PREJUDICE.
* [[Badass Grandpa]] / [[Never Mess Withwith Granny]]: Although Vector Prime is one of the first Thirteen, he was more than powerful enough to fight the various minions of Unicron although his age would make him a senior among the Cybertronians themselves. He can also fight Optimus and come out on top, as well as hold his ground against his {{spoiler|traitorous sibling, the Fallen}} Alpha Trion, in this Continuity, is not one of the 13 Original Transformers, and hence he was unconfigured for battle.
** Ironhide and Armourhide were considered this as well, as they were seasoned veterans and weapon specialists during the battles on Cybertron, and Ironhide carries enough weapons to make him a one walking robot battalion. Armourhide, the younger brother, was also one due to him able to lift things many times his size and not breaking a sweat. He was also a master when it comes to smashing scrapmetal out of Eradicons.
** {{spoiler|The Seraphims' veterans of the various military branches counts as these too.}}
Line 138:
* [[Badass Crew]]: The Original Crew of the Ark and the Nemesis counts. The crew of the Xantium (The Wreckers) and the Goliath (The Harbingers) counts too. {{spoiler|so is the crew of the Spirit of Fire and Glorious Destiny for the Seraphims.}}
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Victor Keys is one excellent example. Yes, he was always [[Badass]] as a human, but now he's a [[Badass Bookworm]] ''with a Keys Tech Corporation longcoat''.
* [[Bad Boss]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Megatron certainly shows far less concern for his troops than, say Optimus Prime, but he's not above blasting nameless minions who disobey or even question his orders, but he doesn't sacrifice them unnecessarily as he would need every trooper he can get. You can say what you want about him, but Megatron leads from the ''front'', and he'll make sure you don't forget it.
** And depending on how well you follow orders and/or your usefulness, he'll be pretty flexible. Just don't fail him though, even his patience has a limit. When he gets angry, it's time to run for your spark. (or life)
** Much like most continuities in other Transformers Lore, Megatron does treat Soundwave with a fair bit of respect, mostly because of Soundwave's loyalty. The other Decepticons? Not so much.
Line 147:
** {{spoiler|Divine can be nice at times, but when he's pushed past what he can tolerate, he will wipe the floor with his enemies.}}
* [[Beware My Stinger Tail]]: Scorponok is a good example. The more dangerous Transformer with a stinger tail is {{spoiler|Trypticon}}
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Blair and Stephen Dalton in an example, their personalities are such that they seem to swap roles from time to time, but they typically default to Stephen as the [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] and Blair as the fawning flirty girlfriend.
* [[Benevolent Boss]]: A few examples in this Fan Fiction.
** Optimus Prime backs up his fellow soldiers whenever the human diplomats questioned them.
Line 174:
* [[Bishonen]]: {{spoiler|Divine Celestial Dagonair and the various members of his Elite Team back on Sera Prime. Most of the males of the Seraphims, anyway.}}
* [[Bishie Sparkle]]: {{spoiler|Unintentional in the sense that Divine has this when he was back on Sera Prime in the Academy, when introducing himself to his fellow academy students, and then again to Seraphim Princesses.}}
* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Some of the characters have this, especially the Transformers, albeit the non-organic version.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Most of the Alien language in this story is translated for easy reading. Especially the Cybertronian language.
* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]: The Cybertronians have a spark that acts as their life and soul, and they reproduce through creation and then adding the spark to a new protoform. They also have similar components in their bodies that look exactly like human organs.
** {{spoiler|The Seraphims, on the other hand, mate for life and are effectively immortal. They "join" their minds together to understand each other and share memories, emotions and thoughts as lovers. They also can shrink down or grow up at will due to their abilities.}}
* [[Black and Grey Morality]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] There are characters who are in the black region, and there are characters who are in the grey region, and there are those who tread the thin line in-between good and evil. ([[Your Mileage May Vary]] after reading the story. Refer to [[Transformers Alter Verse (Fanfic)/Characters|Character Sheet]] for more details.)
* [[Blade Below the Shoulder]]: Applies to some of the Humanicons and Autobot Alliance members. Also applies to the ''[[Transformers]]''.
* [[Body Horror]]: The Humanicons when getting their upgrades through Operations, and Project Armitage by Arkeville. (considered the greatest medical failure in Human History.) The various life-threatening operations mentioned in this Fan Fiction can be considered a major understatement of this Trope most of the time.
Line 184:
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Almost all of the characters are this. Optimus can be a Boisterous Bruiser at times, but Megatron will CERTAINLY let you know you're in for a world of hurt. {{spoiler|Divine will make sure that you will remember him when he's done with you.}}
* [[Bond One-Liner]]: Mostly said by the Autobots and Decepticons, as well as the Autobot Alliance and Humanicons at times throughout the story. {{spoiler|The Seraphims and Nebulans also have plenty of this too.}}
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Depends actually.]] The Autobot Alliance female Characters, especially Mikaela and Zoe, are quite well-endowed and talented. On the Decepticon side, we have Blair and Roxy, and quite a few others. They don't get any problems when they are deploying for fighting the other factions, or when they are hurt during combat.
** {{spoiler|The Seraphim females play this Trope straight.}}
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: Decepticon Mooks and Autobot Troopers tend to get this when shot during the war on Cybertron. Averted for most of the Transformers and Humans.
Line 196:
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Averted. The Transformers don't shout out loud the names of their attacks when fighting. A few do, however.
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Straxus, Jhiaxus, The Fallen, Unicron, Primus, Vector Prime, Alpha Trion, and a whole host of Transformers Characters are all derived from other corners of the Transformer Universe.
* [[Car Fu]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Most of the Decepticons, especially the Stunticons and Barricade, tends to do this. The Autobots avoid this to prevent collateral damage to the surroundings and inhabitants of Earth.
* [[The Captain]]: Optimus ''is'' the very embodiment of this trope, both when he was back on Cybertron, and on Earth.
* [[Captain Obvious]]: [[The Smart Guy|Thundercracker]] is this to the Decepticons. The Autobots' side, we have Cliffjumper and Bumblebee.
Line 211:
** ...and many others....
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Starscream, of course! He was originally on the Autobots side before he defected to the Decepticons, and then he sometimes defect just to betray Megatron. And we all know he's not working for Megatron very long before you hear him shriek, "Megatron has fallen!" and try to take command for the first time. (and sometimes the last time...depending on Megatron's mood)
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played with.]] Found in bunches throughout the Fan Fiction. Might have more in the later chapters.
** Examples include Sari's Key and {{spoiler|Victor's allspark charged keycard, Taiya's fallen form and spear, Divine's Fragment of Fifteen power orb, Serina's secret Ragnorok Program, the secret button under Victor's table, the various custom weapons and vehicles of the humanicons...etc etc}}
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Vector Prime, Alpha Trion, Omega Supreme, Gigatron, and {{spoiler|Divine the Seraphim.}}
* [[Civil War]]: The Cybertronian Great War, which devastated Cybertron and spread to the stars, and then to Earth.
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Subverted for Melvin, he's a real [[Jerkass]]. Kind of played straight with some of the Humanicon boys and the Autobot Alliance male members.
* [[Chromatic Arrangement]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] There is a wide range of colour schemes among the Transformers and Humans themselves, the brighter colours are associated with the Autobots {{spoiler|and the Seraphims.}}, while the duller colours are associated with the Decepticons.
* [[The Chew Toy]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Drone and Dreadcycle are these at times. Applies to the smaller Transformers, especially Skids and Mudflap.
* [[Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive]]: Happens in this Fan Fiction quite a number of times, due to the number of possibly crazy, scheming bastards included inside. (and an occasional good guy who does this.)
** Done by [[Anti-Hero|Megatron]] when plotting to conquer Earth within the Nemesis.
Line 228:
** and many more...
* [[Clean Cut]]: When Optimus uses his energon swords, this tends to happen to those who he has just cut through. Applies for anyone who has a [[BFS]] in the story and proficient with it.
* [[C -List Fodder]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] One of the creators, Taiya001 tends to use the not-that-famous Transformers as cannon fodder in the Fan Fiction.
** Victortky does too, but to a certain extent. Becuase he would like to give those characters [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]].
* [[Cold Sniper]]: The Humanicon Loren can be one when she's serious. On the Autobot side, we have snipers among NEST Troopers and the Joes who can put a clean hole through you from far away before you can even see them.
* [[The Collector of the Strange]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Some of the Transformers collect very awkward things on Earth.
** Razorsnip of the Decepticons, Skybyte's sister and Sketchfan's [[Original Character]] in this Fan Fiction, collects [[Bleach]] Anime and Manga.
** Blaster of the Autobots collects almost every music and video CD ever produced by the humans in human history.
Line 238:
* [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience]]: The most basic example is that Decepticons tend to have red optics, while Autobots have blue optics. However, exceptions exist among the Transformers.
** The Decepticons love dull colours like grey, black and purple, while the Autobots love to use brighter colours like red, blue and yellow.
* [[Combining Mecha]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] The Transformers are notorious for these, with countless of examples to choose from.
** Some of the Autobots can combine with each other, such as Optimus with Jetfire, Optimus with Overload, Optimus and Ultra Magnus (design based from [[Transformers Robots in Disguise]]), Optimus with his various sub-commanders due to the {{spoiler|Spark of Combination he has received}} from Primus.
** Optimus Prime, in standard form, mostly combines with his Trailer to form his powered-up form. He also has a [[Super Mode]] in which he can combine with Jetfire, Skyfire, [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Overload_%28Armada%29 Powerload], and Ultra Magnus to form a special gesalt known as {{spoiler|Supreme Omega Prime when he gets the Matrix of Leadership.}}
Line 256:
* [[Cool Plane]]: Starscream is a modified F-22 Raptor. So are Skywarp, Thundercracker, Ramjet and Dirge. (Practically all the Seekers)
** Jetfire, Skyfire, Broadside, Rotorstorm and the Aerialbots transform into Earth fighter jets and Supersonic planes.
* [[Cool Old Lady]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] The female Cybertronians, most of the time, as seen from human eyes, but to the Transformers themselves, they are still young.
* [[Cosmic Keystone]]: {{spoiler|Cybertron, Earth, Sera Prime and Nebulos are all these. [[Eldritch Abomination|Unicron]] plans to destroy them all to prevent anyone from stopping him from destroying the Universe.}}
* [[Covert Pervert]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Quite a few of the male characters in this Fan Fiction, mostly played for laughs and jokes.
* [[Creative Sterility]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] [[Eldritch Abomination|Unicron]] cannot create life, instead he destroys life. [[Physical God|Primus]], on the other hand, creates Life and seed the planets with it to form his forces that he could use to defeat [[Eldritch Abomination|Unicron.]]
** The cybertronians can reproduce with their sparks, but they build their young and then input the sparks born from the Allspark with it in this continuity.
** {{spoiler|The Seraphims reproduce through mating like humans, and they normally bear as many offspring as possible to further the existence of the clan they are born from.}}
Line 289:
* [[Did They or Didn't They?]]: Played straight in this story. Mostly concerning whether the major couples have gotten together or not.
** {{spoiler|The major characters managed to survive the Final Battle and live their new lives afresh, and most of them got a rather happy ending.}}
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] {{spoiler|Taiya Dalton will later fight Unicron and the Fallen.}}
** {{spoiler|And the major factions will unite to fight [[Eldritch Abomination|Unicron]] in the [[Grand Finale]] up in space. Like other continuities, they need to come across this Trope to win. }}
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Several Examples.
** The Decepticons, in a variation of their combat doctrine, would be sensible and undermine as much of the enemy infrastructure as they could before they went for the full-scale assault. And when they did go for said full-scale assault, they will send overwhelming forces and hit the opposition so hard, it'd take them centuries to recover. (if they ever did at all).
** {{spoiler|The Seraphims, although cooperative and peaceful, plays this Trope during the Expansion wars by using overwhelming force to wipe out the Decepticon invasion fleets attacking their domain. When a single planet of theirs is wiped out, they paid the Decepticons back a thousand-fold.}}
* [[Doomed Byby Canon]]: Arguably, the 13 Original Transformers, with a few averting death. Due to the fact that this is a Fan Fiction, this Trope will be most likely averted or even defied.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Most of the Transformers swear language used, as well as the names of the {{spoiler|Seraphim spaceships, such as Messiah, Spirit, Destiny etc...}}
* [[Do Not Go Gentle]]: {{spoiler|During the Final Battle, most of the characters are this way, fighting to the bitter end with the best of their abilities to prevent Unicron from winning and stopping the Fallen from activating the Solar Harvester.}}
Line 304:
** Victor's [[The Dragon|Dragon]] is actually his second-in-command named {{spoiler|Rex.}}
** {{spoiler|Divine of the Seraphims' [[The Dragon|Dragon]] is actually Finox, [[The Lancer]] and [[The Smart Guy]].}}
* [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] The Creators tend to avoid killing off characters, but the supporting characters got killed off pretty easily.
** {{spoiler|Glen was killed off rather painfully.}}
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] The Dinobots are good example of this. Tidal Wave too.
* [[Dude, She's Like, in Aa Coma]]: Averted in this story with the female characters. Depends on the creators whether this will happen or not.
* [[Dysfunction Junction]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] No matter what species they are, each of the characters in this Transformers Fan Fiction has a significant psychological issue, a troubled past, or parental issue.
** The Humanicons are excellent examples of these.
** The Mc Alister family is one [[Big Screwed-Up Family]], truth be told.
Line 314:
** Applies to {{spoiler|Divine when he uses his Pulse Railgun Rifle on an enemy.}}
** Whenever {{spoiler|Supreme Omega Prime uses his Mega-ion Cannon to clear a path.}}
* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Some of the Male Characters in this Fan Fiction. Bonus points if you can guess them.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Princesses]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Not exactly, but this Fan Fiction has some. {{spoiler|Xeria was a princess in this story, and so are many of the female Seraphims before they became warriors. Zoe later was reborn as a Seraphim and became one as the manifestation of Xeria.}}
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]: Professor Arkeville. Although he's [[Ax Crazy]] mildly. If you see those people he experimented on, you will know.
* [[Expressive Hair]]: {{spoiler|Divine and the Seraphims play this Trope straight with their hairstyles.}}
* [[Eye Lights Out]]: When the Transformers of both Factions go offline or aka die.
* [[Falling Into the Cockpit]]: Averted. {{spoiler|Divine had [[Training From Hell]] before he was able to pilot his specially designed Mobile Suit as a professsional.}} This applies to the Humanicons and the Autobot Alliance members with their vehicles. Good thing the vehicles are actually Transformers sometimes, so it's kind of a reconstructed trope.
* [[Fan Service]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Happens depending on the creator's mood in the Fan Fiction.
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: The [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Heralds of Unicron]] are little more than living zombies, with limited intelligence but infused with various dangerous dark powers.
* [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Blair, and some of the more beautiful and "talented" female Humanicons. {{spoiler|Zoe can be considered as one when evolved into her Seraphim form, as she's practically a goddess in that form.}}
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: Transformers of both Autobots and Decepticons tend to do this with their weapons. Their spaceships also do apply to this Trope. {{spoiler|The Seraphims also have these applied to their Mobile Suits and Spacecraft.}}
* [[Glamorous Wartime Singer]]: Cassandra for the Autobot Side, and Vera for the Decepticon side.
* [[Gainaxing]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Applies to the female characters of this story, especially the more well-endowed ones.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] The characters of this story were dangerously [[Genre Savvy]], due to the fact they are either professionals in their respective fields, or just know that what will happen if they don't get things done at the correct moment. (often leads to injury, death or otherwise.)
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] These moments happen when the Humanicons got themselves stuck in a tight spot during and after battles, and also with the Autobot Alliance members at times when things don't go exactly as planned.
** {{spoiler|Also among the Seraphims, especially among the various clan members within Gold Team.}}
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Applies to the Fallen, his [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]], and [[Eldritch Abomination|Unicron.]] Also applies to Vector Prime, Optimus Prime, Alpha Trion, Ultra Magnus, Jetfire, Megatron, Starscream, Blackout, Omega Supreme, Trypticon, Metroplex, Gigatron when they are about to kick serious ass in the story. {{spoiler|When Divine the Seraphim gets this, enemies die in masses.}}
** When [[Physical God|Primus, the God of Light]] gets this, you are in for '''A LOT''' of asskicking.
* [[Godiva Hair]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Happens a little to the female characters in this Fan Fiction.
* [[Graceful Loser]]: Completely defied. {{spoiler|Even after having thrown everything including the hook, line and sinker at the heroes, Unicron (instead of heaving a sigh of defeat) was instead shouting maddeningly as he, along with his minions, were blasted by the heroes into the void.}}
* [[Gratuitous English]]: As all of the ''[[Transformers]]'' series are in english, except for the Japanese ones, this Fan Fiction stays true to this Trope by putting everything, '''YES EVERYTHING''', in English.
Line 337:
* [[Gunship Rescue]]: Most of the time done by the Autobot Alliance, the Joes and NEST forces.
* [[Hammerspace]]: Most Cybertronians and {{spoiler|Seraphims}} have access to subspace pockets to store weapons or specialized equipment. The Humanicons and the Autobot Alliance members have yet to get those.
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] {{spoiler|Divine, after transforming (pun intended) himself into a human male, is literally half a human on the outside and a seraphim on the inside. Applies to Zoe after her final evolution. Taiya and the Humanicons are literally half-cybertronian hybrids.}}
* [[Healing Factor]]: The [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Heralds of Unicron]] can instantaneously heal themselves from all but the most grievous of injuries. As normal weaponry cannot harm them, only a [[BFS]] (like Vector Prime's sword), [[BFG]] (like Optimus Prime's ion cannon), or a [[MacGuffin]] like the Matrix of Leadership (or the Allspark) can pack enough punch to seriously injure or even kill them.
* [[The Heartless]]: The [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Heralds of Unicron]] are these, especially Straxus and Nemesis Prime. The minions of Unicron, meanwhile, [[Nightmare Fuel|are literally embodiments of this trope]].
* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: Starscream again, due to [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]. He likes to switch sides to find options that benefit him the most. Some of the other Decepticons also qualify too.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] For the Transformers side, none yet. But on the human side, we have {{spoiler|Professor Yoshiro, James Mc Alister, Arkeville, Simmons and Banachek, and many others that will switch sides when given a chance later in the story.}}
* [[Hello Boys]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] The female Humanicons, but mostly Blair. Oh God, Blair to her love interest Stephen. Causes awkward moments whenever she does this.
** The Autobot girls? Not so much.
** Well, maybe a little here and there.
Line 348:
** The Decepticon side we have Dreadcycle, Slipstream, Strika, and more for the Decepticon side.
** {{spoiler|The Seraphims? Rarely, so fat chance.}}
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] This Trope will be played many more times in this Fan Fiction.
** Many of the main Transformers and Humans are prepared to make this when fighing the Final Battle in the [[Grand Finale]].
* [[Heroic Sociopath]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Some of the Decepticons and Autobots are these.
* [[High-Speed Missile Dodge]]: Applies to the Seekers of both faction origin when in battle. Also for the [[Ace Pilot|Ace Pilots]] for the Human side, mostly the G.I.Joes and the Autobot Alliance members.
* [[Hime Cut]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] {{spoiler|Divine and Xeria, and most of the Seraphims, so very much.}}
* [[Hold Your Hippogriffs]]: Cybertronians have a number of [[Unusual Euphemism|Unusual Euphemisms]] that they use in place of English counterparts.
* [[Humans Are Warriors]]: Depends on the situation, but moreso for the armed forces like NEST, FSOF and the Autobot Alliance.
Line 361:
* [[Iconic Item]]: The Matrix of Leadership, as always, is strongly associated with the Primes, and especially Optimus.
** {{spoiler|The Fragment of Fifteen, currently in the possession of Divine the Seraphim, also counts as he would later give this power to someone he loves to save her from death and grant extraordinary powers to her.}}
* [[I Didn't Mean to Turn You On|I Didn't Mean To Turn You On]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Happens from time to time among the cast. Mostly results in Awkward situations. Moreso Less so (depending on the creators themselves) for the major couples in this Fan Fiction.
* [[Idol Singer]]: Again, Cassandra and Vera. Autobot and Decepticon side respectively.
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Each chapter focuses on something important in the Alter Verse story. For example, the confrontation with Russia is explored in "Russian Roulette", the Rescue of President Whitemore is seen in "Rescue Prez", and the formation of Eclipse into Fallen form is explored in "Ascension of Fallen Eclipse". More of '''[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]''' for each chapter.
* [[I Got You Covered]]: During the Fan Fiction's final battle. Also happens throughout the main story at times, and featured prominently {{spoiler|in the prequel of Divine's story.}} Whenever there's a battle in space or the air, this Trope is applied.
* [[Immortality Immorality]]: The Heralds of Unicron and the first 13 Transfomers of Primus, again, are nigh-immortal and decidedly unnatural. They are effectively immortal and live for millions of years. {{spoiler|The Seraphims also count too, as the High Council were older than they look.}}
* [[Immune to Bullets]]: Standard human small arms aren't going even hurt Cybertronians - specially-made rocket-propelled sabot rounds and larger munitions are another matter as they can technically knock Cybertronians offline or damage their bodies. As for the Transformers themselves, their weaker weapons aren't much good against the Heralds - you require [[BFS]], [[BFG]] or an [[MacGuffin|ancient Artifact]] in order to even hurt them.
* [[Improbable Age]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] The Humanicons are teenagers at best when taken to fight for the Decepticons. So are some of the Autobot Alliance members. {{spoiler|The Seraphims' military force trains their soldiers from young, and they are literally [[Career Killers]] in their own right.}}
* [[Improbable Piloting Skills]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Naturally. Applies to the Humanicons and the Auobot Alliance members, the Joes, and the NEST and FSOF Troopers.
** {{spoiler|Divine is the master of this Trope with his mecha piloting skills}}
** The evil side has the Section 56 troopers of Sector 7, under the command of the Mc Alister Family.
* [[Impaled Withwith Extreme Prejudice]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Arguably, some of the villians in the story. Averted as much as possible for the main and supporting characters.
* [[I'm Taking Her Home Withwith Me]]!: {{spoiler|Rina, Marta (android form), Sari, and Patricia.}}
* [[Implacable Man|Implacable Ship]]: The Nemesis, the Flagship of the Decepticons, {{spoiler|in the prequel, took a direct hit from the Ark's weapon systems, the spaceship of the Autobots, and still suffered minor damage.}}
** Averted when the Nemesis was hit by {{spoiler|over a thousand pulse railgun rounds from the Seraphim's Orbital Defense platform. The results are not pretty.}}
Line 384:
* [[I Shall Taunt You]]: Played to exaggerated amounts with The Fallen and [[Eldritch Abomination|Unicron.]]
* [[It's All My Fault]]: Taiya, oh so much when she becomes {{spoiler|The new Fallen of the Earth and killed quite a lot of Transformers and Humans.}}
* [[It Got Worse]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] The TFAV Memoirs Chapter.
** {{spoiler|To give you an idea, the Mc Alister family won, and the Autobots and Decepticons are nearly defeated, and The Fallen is coming back.}}
* [[Jerkass]]: Melvin, the son of Mark Mc Alister.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Sam Witwicky (at times) and Stephen Dalton (at times) both play this trope fairly straight, respectively demonstrating the Angsty Pretty Boy and Too-Cool Ladies' Man variants.
* [[Just a Machine]]: Brutally averted as the Transfomers are sentient alien robot lifeforms from the planet of Cybertron.
* [[Kid Appeal Character]]: The former [[Trope Namer]] Bumblebee appears, but he's a grizzly veteran of the war and hence was more radical and violent than usual, and hence he did not quite help out on the public relations with the Autobots. In terms of fostering human-Cybertronian relations, Jazz (Optimus's second-in-command) helps out more than Bumblebee.
Line 393:
** {{spoiler|Glen is killed off.}}
* [[The Lady's Favour]]: {{spoiler|Some of the major characters does this for the battles waged in the Fan Fiction. Moreso for the Final Battle}}
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Happens in this story quite a number of times.
* [[Like You Were Dying]]: {{spoiler|Taiya's moments with Blackout when she was in her Fallen form.}}.
** Same Trope applies to Victor and Zoe.
Line 401:
* [[Literary Allusion Title]]: There are some references to some Anime and Televison shows from the titles in the chapters.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Again, Transformers Series are common for including many characters. This Fan Fiction introduces many Transformers and Human characters, including [[Original Character]](s) and as well as a new mysterious race named {{spoiler|the Seraphims.}}[[It Got Worse|Yet more are still coming.]]
* [[Loud of War]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Soundwave and Blaster are the masters of this Trope, as they tend to use soundwaves (no pun intended Soundwave) as a form of attack when in battle. Soundwave's cassette minions, Rumble and Frenzy used ultra-sound and infra-sound respectively (although the cartoon opted for earthquake-inducing earthpounders instead). Thundercracker's sonic boom could collapse structures and blow up enemy jets, and Dirge's engine vibrations were supposed to induce panic in his victims.
* [[MacGuffin]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played with.]] The Artifacts of Primus, such as the Matrix of Leadership, although useless at first, later fits an important throughout the story.
** The Allspark in this ''[[Transformers]]'' Fan Fiction fit this Trope nicely...until the later chapters.
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: The Seekers, Starscream, Skywarp and Thundercracker, are fond of these. They pack enough missiles to make a bunch of patroit missile turrets look like peashooters. The Autobots are also applying this Trope to their weapons as well, as their missile launchers and rocket launchers can cause a missile spam within seconds.
Line 415:
* [[Mega Corp]]: Keys Tech Corporation {{spoiler|, which is the founded by Victor Keys after the Arkeville incident,}} is a multi-facet corporation with the headquarters located right beside Autobot City in Colorado. It handles projects from the government including medicine, technology, biology, neuroscience, transportation, commercial product development, telecommunications, and even some contracts with DOD and NASA. The Autobots have been quite helpful in helping the Corporation with their tasks and assignments, expecially Wheeljack and Perceptor with their fellow secientists.
** The Corporation also has its own Internal Security and Para-military forces to protect its installations, and it controls the majority of the stock market shares of many economic sectors around the globe.
* [[Memetic Badass]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Many of the main Decepticons and Humanicons, as well as the Autobots and their allies.
** {{spoiler|The Seraphims and the Ancient Cybertronians play this Trope quite straight.}}
** Optimus and Megatron are the king and emperor respectively of this Trope.
Line 423:
* [[More Dakka]]: The Transformers, especially the more powerful ones, are living embodiments of this Trope after they have upgraded to their more powerful forms. Ironhide carried enough weapons to make him look like a [[One-Man Army]]. Onslaught has so many guns that he could put an armory to shame. Metroplex, Omega Supreme, Trypticon and Gigatron can fire enough weapons to play this Trope to Death. {{spoiler|The Seraphims' spaceships and Mobile Suits also applies this Trope as well, but they are more of a pulse, beam and railgun weaponry.}}
* [[Music for Courage]]: Some for Cassandra and Vera.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Given that this is a Transformers story based on the Comic and Cartoon series, this Trope is a given.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Names To Distrust]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] The Autobot names often are trustworthy, but the Decepticon names aren't.
* [[NameTron]]: Megatron/Cybertron/Galvatron/Gigatron as seen from their names.
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: The major characters will fight to their last breath to achieve the universe they want to live in.
* [[Nigh Invulnerability]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] The Heralds of Unicron, the death bringer's personal [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]. The same applies for Primus's own 13 Original Transformers, especially Vector Prime.
* [[Night of the Living Mooks]]: [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|The Heralds of Unicron]] are capable of summoning large armies of undead minions to do their dirty work for them, or help them in battle. Played straight with the Fallen and his disciple named {{spoiler|Xanatos.}}
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: We've got the robots (LOLZ), we've got the zombies (The minions of Unicron), pirates not yet...but a suspicious lack of ninja, save Drift, Blurr, Bludgeon, Prowl and Jazz.
Line 433:
* [[Nuke'Em]]: Happens when {{spoiler|the Humans found out that conventional weaponry can't harm the fallen's minions and his [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]. Also used against Unicron in the final battle.}}
* [[Oblivious Adoption]]: Marta, who is actually the lovechild of {{spoiler|Taka and Mark Mc Alister}} fits this Trope.
* [[Of Corsets Sexy]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Blair and Loren's clothing most of the time. A little for Mikaela and Zoe.
* [[Old School Dogfighting]]: The Autobot and Decepticon Seekers are fond of this at times, as well as the human pilots in their jet fighters.
* [[The Omniscient Council of Vagueness]]: {{spoiler|The matrix is essentially holding the sparks of the primes who sacrificed themselves to prevent the Fallen from dooming other worlds of life by using the Solar Harvester. It also holds their wisdom and energy too. The Fragment of Fifteen, a ball of energy given to Divine in the prequel, is also this as it has fragments of power from the High Council Seraphims themselves.}}
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played With.]] Megatron and some of the Decepticons won't shy away from destruction, but [[Eldritch Abomination|Unicron]] wants to wipe out all life from existence.
* [[One Steve Limit]] / [[Name's the Same]]: The creators also tend to avoid giving two characters the same name as much as possible.
* [[Original Character]]: A lot appears in this Fan Fiction. We have the Humanicons, The Mc Alister family, the Transformers [[Original Character]](s), the Fallen's disciple {{spoiler|Xanatos}}, and a new enigmatic race named {{spoiler|The Seraphims.}}
Line 493:
* [[Smug Snake]]: Melvin the [[Jerkass]] is this. Applies to some of the female Humanicons, and Decepticons too.
* [[Space Opera]]: Played with. [[Combining Mecha]]? Check. Spaceships? Check. Epic final space battles? Check. Lots of heroes and villains? Check. Awe-inspiring places? Check. Insanely gorgeous female characters? ''Definitely'' check. Love stories? '''''BIG CHECK'''''.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Happens with some of the characters' names. Especially the Autobots and Decepticons, and sometimes with the humans and {{spoiler|the Seraphims.}}
* [[Stripperific]]: Some examples in this Fan Fiction:
** Blair's clothing most of the time plays this Trope straight.
Line 504:
* [[Super Reflexes]]: The Transformers of both factions, especially the veterans, are the masters of this Trope. {{spoiler|Demostrated beautifully by the Seraphims in battle.}}
* [[Tank Goodness]]: A few Transformers have tanks for alternate modes. A bunch of Decepticons including Brawl and {{spoiler|Cannonblower}} are good examples.
* [[Ten -Minute Retirement]]: {{spoiler|Sometime during the Expansion Wars, Divine took some time off to contemplate on what he has done after fighting some battles on an uncharted planet he found, and met Alpha Trion who gave him some wisdom. Then he gets back to action later.}}
* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]: Omnipresent. Whenever an awesome music starts playing, expect Awesomeness to come in Gratuitous loads.
** Whenever a major character is about to kick some serious butt or aft, expect their theme song to be played.
