Rewatching Transformers G1 and I fricking love these ‘bots Beachcomber, Perceptor and the two gay architects Grapple and Hoist

For an toy-based 80s cartoon that’s pretty low on characterisation, they sure did give the secondary robots plenty of fun quirks and even have episodes in the limelight

A compilation I originally started to show my Amicae some of the brilliant absurdity of G1 (well, the first two seasons; I haven't yet watched the rest). It got away from me a bit...

(Posted in two parts because Tumblr doesn't accept videos more than ten minutes long. A fact I found buried in the Unhelpful Centre, after days of failing to upload the whole thing.)

G1 Hoist's robot mode looks like he's wearing puffy yellow shorts, white leggings and yellow kneepads.

You know what would make the Transformers in a Who Framed Rodger Rabbit Earth even crazier?

A bot is born there but as a Toon.

No one knows how it happened but a random cartoon vehicle someone got intact Allspark energy and came to life. Pure uncanny valley feeling for both factions in my personal opinion. The toon bot can turn into vehicle but operates nowhere close to normal.

Headlights easily shift into cartoony eyes, a large mouth disguised as a front bumper, and use their tires/wheels like hands n feet. Even their Spark acts fucking weird! Ratchet would faint if cartoony eyes and a mouth suddenly popped up on a Toon Bot's spark chamber just to sass him.

Toon Spark: This better be for medical reasons Doc cause patient/doctor relationships are a big no-no.

A Toon Bot would honestly freak out the TFP iterations the most. Especially Buckethead

May I raise the stakes?

What if real-life Toons (and Earth lifeforms in general) existed because of a synchronization effect between Earth/Gaea (born from comatose Unicron) and a Primal Artifact/Allspark from Primus?

And I say this because of Benny the cab.

Benny would be very much their weird space in Uncanny Valley because you already described a lot of the things that would freak out the Cybertronians.

While Cybertronians aren't strangers to transformation sequences, they are very much rooted having at least two modes: alt-mode and root-mode.

Monoformers have much stigma against them as they, either willingly, by medical complications, or natural means, challenge the foundation of their society.

To make it even more unsettling, I propose that mechanical Toons exude spark energy but have no spark.

Sparks are a fundamental organ in Cybertronian biology. It can be physically manipulated and scientifically studied. Toons don't have that real-life and tangile certainty of a soul.

They're more aligned with Earth lifeforms. Yes, we have hearts. But we have heart transplants.

Cybertronians don't have an equivalent of that. There's a process to save a spark by removing it (and the brain module) to a new frame, but there's nothing to be done should both be guttered and destroyed.

Just imagine cyborg Toon with all the bells and whistles got crushed in a skirmish because some mech thought it was a newfound thingmabob, just for the pieces to wail out for help or flirt with Ratchet/Hoist/First Aid and the mech is having an internal mental breakdown.

"Gosh, doc, I wouldn't have taken ya to be a philosopher. Tee-hee." Que a disembodied hand twirling a stray coil from the damaged cavity. It sparks, and smoke forms little heart-shaped puffs.

Ratchet/Hoist/First Aid are holding an equally disembodied helm that inexplicably gained eyelashes to flutter optics: What the merciless Pits is going here!

"I'm more of an art Toon. Tell me, have ya heard about Remedios Varo?"

Weird and Interesting Details from the Dreamwave-era Profiles

These are also extra fun because sometimes it's the characters talking about other characters, a bit like the bios in TFA's Allspark Almanac.

Kup absolutely DESTROYS Hot Rod! Who knew the old man was a backstabber?! XD

The language used is somewhat ableist, but Wreck-Gar seems to be confirmed to have ADHD:

Poor Scavenger is really going through it. At least Scrapper apparently thinks he's cute:

Prowl = what would happen if you crossed Soundwave with Shockwave. Actually, this seems to be based on the Marvel comics incarnation, which I'm a fan of:

Cliffjumper accuses Mirage of classist beliefs, and it seems supported by the fact that Grapple and Hoist built Mirage an entire hunting lodge pre-War?
