Transformers Puns

Following up on my Transformers Flash Games post here, I thought I'd go through the Internet Archive and pull up all the currently available Transformers games! :)

Some of these can be played in browser, while others may require DOSBox or other virtual machine to run-- I still don't know how to make old software work on modern shit, otherwise I would be messing around in Windows 3.1 right now LOL, but if you know how to do that, have fun!!! :)

In chronological order, and games in bold can be played in browser:

The Transformers (1985) - Commodore 64

Transformers: The Battle to Save the Earth (1986) - Commodore 64

Transformers: Generation 2 (1993) - Tiger Handheld

Beast Wars (1998) - Windows 95

Beast Wars Transmetals (2000) - PS2

War for Cybertron (2010) - Windows XP/Vista/7

Transformers Rise of the Dark Spark (2014) - PC, Check Specs

Transformers Devastation (2015) - PC, Check Specs

There are almost certainly a few I've missed, as sometimes searching the Internet Archive can be tricky depending on how things have been tagged etc., but when I have the chance to do a deeper dive I'll update this post! :)

Hello Transformers fandom! :) If you recognize the name, then I'm sure you're as excited as we are!

As we're unaffiliated with the earlier organizers, we've made some changes prior to the earlier years and created new socials that will serve the same functions as the last, so without further ado!

2023 SCHEDULE:

October 8th: — Sign-ups Open 

October 23rd: — Sign-ups Close

October 25th~26th: — Matches Sent. Start Working!

The leaked video becomes widely known as Metal Jesus welcomes Oppy to robot heaven or something similar.

If there is a Decepticon attack and Oppy is damaged, Megatron will be globally known as Metal Satan, and the millennials and gen Z's will be mobilized against him before he ever sets foot on the planet.

ALTERNATELY

The Autobots bring Oppy onto their ship to help take care of him. He's a curious little guy! Always rolling around and picking up random objects to examine.

He quickly captures everyone's sparks.

taking place from november 7th, 2022 to november 11th, 2022, a fun week to celebrate one of the best transformers series, near the anniversary of the premiere of its fourth season. here is the list of prompts for each day

I'm really struggling right now so my comms are wide open!

I drew mecha, furries, ref sheets, humans, backgrounds and all sorts!

If you're interested heres my price page (linked to my portfolio for more examples!): https://caseydriver.weebly.com/commission.html

i[id: first image says "Headshot TF Commisions!", on the second there are three digital drawings of the heads of rumble, greenlight and lug with the text "Color 9€" and "flats + shading + rendering on simple bg". the third image also has drawings of the heads of getaway, elita-1 and jazz, but colored i roughly with a single color each. the text reads "Lines 5€" and "(transparent or w/ one color flat)".]

Hi, so i need to replace the screen in my phone which'll be about 80€ and i need to do it asap, so im finally taking commissions on kofi!

you can request any character (as long as its transformers) and an expression or color palette that you'd like me to use. i could also draw your oc if you provide me with an reference picture (i have 0 visualisation skills, so written stuff doesnt work for me). pride flag backgrounds are also possible!

be warned though, im ass at drawing beast warts and prime so uh it might look like shit

Boy this one was popular. Hope you both enjoy it!

Despite popular belief, Lugnut and Megatron’s friendship is a two-way street. Megatron does listen to Lugnut. And when Lugnut disagrees with him, it’s a serious red flag. It takes a few solar cycles to realize the random transwarping was caused by a plasma dynamic thruster. Eager to escape Starscream, Lugnut discovered a small room within the ship that just barely comfortably fit him. Not big enough for a berth, but Lugnut had long figured out how to recharge without such luxuries. He ripped a panel off the wall and hotwired himself into the circuitry below and slept sitting up.

The dreams were immediate and they were clearly Omega Supreme’s thoughts. Lugnut had suspected this might happen; he’d dealt with Titans before. But the contents were surprising.

Omega was scared. He didn’t want to hurt anyone, much less his friends. He didn’t want to fight and he felt bad about having to. He just wanted to protect people.

“Ratchet,” he would cry, “I’m scared. I miss you, Ratchet. I don’t know what do.”

It hurt Lugnut’s spark to hear. This wasn’t a hardened Autobot. Omega was like any other cold-constructed mech; young and forced into a role they neither understood nor desired. A mech the Decepticons had sworn to free.

Manually controlling him now felt a lot like Shadow Play. A lot like what had happened to Lugnut when the Council stole his face. Something he had sworn to put a stop two.

On the fourth solar cycle, Lugnut approached Megatron.

The Decepticon leader was in a rare moment away from Starscream and the bridge of Omega Supreme.

“My Lord,” Lugnut said tentatively.

Megatron instantly straightened. While he was certainly one to pit Lugnut and his other followers against each other in a bootlicking contest, he did actually did value the brute. And that tone meant it was time to pay attention.

“Yes, Lugnut?”

Lugnut was tapping his pincers together nervously and avoiding optic contact. “I’ve been thinking…about…Omega Supreme. I, erm, hotwired him for some recharge away from Starscream’s nagging.”

Megatron smiled dryly. “A wise course of action.”

“While recharging, I have been privy to some of his thoughts. What I found was…well, Ithinkwhatwearedoingiswrong.”

Megatron blinked, his CPU whirling to decipher what Lugnut had just said. “What?”

“What we are planning to do to him, using him to fire on his friends like a puppet, it’s Shadow Play, my Lord. He’s just another cold-constructed mech just like…you. The kind of mech we swore to save.”

Megatron was quiet for a moment. “But we are saving him. Once the Autobots are destroyed…”

Lugnut’s optic darkened. “You’d have to rewrite his personality for him to ever see that as a good thing.”

Oh. That would definitely be Shadow Play, Megatron thought. He shut his mouth and listened.

“Using him to hurt Ratchet would be like you being forced to kill Terminus. I have seen his memories of the medic. He is a mech like Terminus and has been a good mentor and friend to Omega. We can’t do this; it’s wrong!”

“Then what are we supposed to do?” Megatron asked sincerely.

“Let him cart us off to Trypticon Prison and let the rest of our people starve and dwindle to extinction? Give him back to the Autobots so he can kill us another day? What should I do?”

Lugnut’s voice was soft. “You once believed we could find peace between the two Cybertronian races. If it is to be done, Optimus Prime is the leader the Autobots need. Together, you two could change things. But first, we have to change. Tell me, would Terminus approve of the things you’ve done? Of how you’ve driven Starscream to hate you, he who once saw you as a sire?”

Megatron fell silent for a long time. So long Lugnut almost left.
