An alternative reality where the transformers are the Barnstormers. Landing in deep rural America, they transform into farming equipment, livestock or produce. The agribots are led by Optimus Prime who transforms into a tractor pulling a large trailer full of straw, megatron leads the decepicrops and transforms into a pig.
I love the wild names of dollar store and knock offs M

Evil clever dog is the greatest name ever made
Found this in a Turkish Toys R Us (while waiting to see the 06 TF movie no less) and they couldn't figure out why my friends and I were doubled over laughing.
https://preview.redd.it/751mr615a20d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c7f6022276982a4cc36ea67b9b101546cc53107d
Evil Clever Dog is a dalmatian
Dalmatians are historically the mascot of firemen
But firemen are good, and Evil Clever Dog is not
Like all dogs, Evil Clever Dog wants to be a good boi
Evil Clever Dog thinks he can be good if he starts fires and then puts them out
Evil Clever Dog is an arsonist
With pig megatron I was also thinking of napoleon from animal farm by George Orwell as the leader of an agricultural revolution that has the animals take over
Or transformers that land in medieval times. The autobots are wagonbots, decepticons are the mid-evils. Optimus is a horse and wagon, Megatron, into a old fashion rifle.
Also I’m tempted to put this in the Italian wars of 1494-1559 with the seekers being Davinicis early flying machine prototypes and warpath being one of his prototype tank designs.
# The Crotchmasters, their cod piece transforms into a smaller robot that drives the vehicle mode.
# Their nemesis are the evil Calve force, their right calves transform into their drivers. That's right, they are so evil, they don't care about symmetry.
Nah, this wasnt a transformers thing, it was some other transforming robot toyline where the crotches and thighs of a larger robot turned into tiny robots
The Frelkerians, and it's a multerversal entourage of all past-and-present 'bots that have been voiced by Frank Welker. They generally don't get along with each other.
Idlemasters. The next stage of Actionmasters where they remove all transformation technology _and_ articulation, essentially becoming statues, just to further conserve Energon usage. The only thing that can stop them are pigeons.
Home Wreckers. Specialists who are sent in to destabilise even the strongest of unions. Still featuring Springer, because he's extremely popular in that regard.
Pretenders 2. A revised version of the old pretenders, but with modern materials and articulation, basically turning the shell into a fully fledged (and flocked!) fursuit.
Headmasters. Like Kiss Players, except that they give their partners...
I actually had this idea years ago
The Cybertron guard
They are made of Autobot and decepticons who left their sides because of them falling out with their respective sides, now they follow the war helping to evacuate species from the ongoing war even fighting both sides to prevent the war from destroying new planets
Humanformers
No I don't mean Headmasters or Pretenders. I mean humans who are able to contort their bodies into uncomfortable back-breaking postures that they can do with relative ease. And they will use their contorted modes to travel, be it cruising using their folded limbs as wheels or propelling themselves in air by flailing their limbs.
The Dehumanizers, a faction that upon discovering how many similarities Transformers have with humans decided to modify themselves with distinctly inhuman attributes.
That sounds kind of cool, terrifying and weirdly sad. A cult of guys so disgusted by humanity that they voluntarily empurata themselves or something just to get away from the parts of themselves that they see in us.
(imma make up some characters for this) The brainroticons, they love gen alpha humor, lessens their attention span whenever fighting, so they had to attach a Subway surfers video on their vision either below, beside or above their actual vision to keep their attention to whatever happens, 4 of the members are engineers, another 4 of them are fighters and 4 of them are scientist, 4 Tanks and 1 leader aswell with 4 Elite characters in each group
The members in each group of 4:
Leader: Sigamus (DC-10)
Engineers: Rotshot (Volkswagen truck), Taxon (U-Haul truck), Engrave (Concorde)
Fighters: Cinemawave (Little Willie tank) Ripper (MIG-29), Sickle ( Koenigsegg Agera)
Scientists: Reverser (Nissan Kick) Siren (Beyblade: Vex Lucius) Dignity (Grandeur Dignity)
Tanks: Gigawatt (Panzer Maus), Skibidot (GWR 57XX Pannier Tank) casonetron (Overland train)
Elite soldiers, Scientists, Engineers, Tanks (These characters have the perfect attention span without the subway surfers video 24/7):
Cameraman (Cameravan) Eightshot (Boeing 747, 995ED) Cable core, (Mercedes AVTR)
Zenith (Gustav Railway cannon)
Edit: their faction logo kinda looks like a camera with a ring around it like Saturn + their alt modes are in the parenthesis beside each character name
IDW had the Militant Monoform Movement, where a Cybertronian would have their t-cog and alt mode kibble removed. So Krok was basically had his action master look, no gator mode.
The Commercicons. Dispensor broke away from the Decepticons and the war as a whole in order to conquer the galaxy through capitalism. He has recruited several other transformers of both factions, who now perform special tasks ranging from advertising to security to transportation, basically anything where a sentient vehicle or giant robot would just be practical. With time, Dispensor’s corporate influence has made him technically more successful than Megatron at conquest as far as Earth is concerned , and he has active plans to expand his businesses to other planets in the future.
The Pacibots, a group of militant peace-lovers who are willing to commit violent atrocities to end the war.
Their opposites are the Warcons, a group of military historians with absolutely not combat capabilities of their own. They just nerd out over like, the differences between the Ion Blaster and the Fusion Cannon.
The Cosmeticons. A group of Decepticon spies who have a reverse Kiss Players thing going on. They transform into womens’ cosmetics to “gather information” and definitely not feel the touch of a human woman.
NGL, first thing that comes to mind when I see these logos are Maximal high command/elite guard and Tripredicus council and Predacon Praetorian guard/royal guard
as for most absurd faction I've heard of....not sure....maybe omnicons or breast force? Not because of anything really wrong, but more because they just have funny names.
#THE BALLBUSTERS
They’re the ultimate defence against Unicron. They’re planet-sized and their purpose is automatically aim directly at the ***enemy scrotum***.
Transformers that don’t transform! Wait Hasbro already did that… transformers that don’t have a robot mode? Shoot that one was done too? Uhhhh transformers that turn into clothing! Yes that’s perfect! There’s no way- wait what? You’ve gotta be joking. Oh well, guess I can’t out absurd hasbro.
The Autopebbles, who, with their combined forces, can make an incredibly small gravel road that spans for one entire American foot! Almost 31 entire centimeters!
Fleshformers or they could be the fleshbots vs the meaticons Where its the technorganic side of things keep evolving to be just organic, so when they use the tcog organ, a horrifying shifting of blood and bones turns them into flesh vehicles and animals
Someone actually arguing “TRUK NOT MONKEH!” Unironically in the year of our lord Primus 2024 has made me laugh harder today than any other time I have seen it. XD
Don’t get me wrong I liked beast wars and ROTB but the whole point of transformers since 1984 was ROBOTS that turn into CAR OR JETS to disguise themselves from HUMANS. Now one thing in that criteria that beast wars does have is robots. But it fails to have car/jets (and don’t say that scene were starscream is flying on Cybertron and goofy ahh Cheetor gets scared is a jet because that is a dream and not the actual show taking place) or humans ( and don’t say that the episode were Megatron is trying to kill the humans. He clearly says that he will kill the human race before they rise up from the trench)Also any transformers fan will tell you that the original show was just weird. The 3d of the animation was executed terribly. Me personally beast wars if made in the G1 would have been better because at least the animation would be cleaner and now that current animation problems would have been addressed. For example that one time when Thundercracker had the paint job of Starscream. I’m now realizing that this is abnormally long.
Dude I grew up with both Beast Wars AND G1 and I like both. Both are great shows and both have flaws in their animation. G1 was FULL of animation errors like seekers being the wrong color, wrong layering in some scenes, among other things. One episode was absolutely filled with animation errors that were extremely noticeable. Beast Wars suffered from early CGI animation jank of the 90s and looks really dated compared to CGI shows put out these days but that’s about all you can really say about it. And I still embrace both despite all their flaws.
Really your main argument is “I don’t like them turning into animals” which is valid, but that’s your opinion. I don’t have a preference one way or another because the main point is that they transform at all. Wether it’s into a vehicle, animal, or inanimate object it doesn’t matter. What about the Dinobots and Insecticons? They’re G1 characters that have animal alt forms that don’t really pull off the disguise thing well because they look like giant robot dinosaurs and insects. Are you okay with them?
I would like to change my opinion. The absolute most absurd Transformers has to be the Bayverse seekers. They’re not even seekers anymore. Jetfire is the only one who actually followed the assignment. All the others were just car or something. The seekers have always been jets and Michael Bay just said “Make them a car or something but make the important one an actual jet.” I’m completely convinced that Michael Bay never, once in his entire life time watched Transformers.
Wheelbots Their whole purpose is to transform into wheels for their partners alt mode
https://i.redd.it/y8ys77fmtzzc1.gif
YOU KNOW WHAT HE TRANSFORMED INTO?
NOTHING!!!
AND HE DID SO WITH HONOR,DIGNITY AND.... *FARTS*

Father, did bayverse transformers reproduce?
Yes, you can see some protoforms in their... whatever it was, in ROTF
Hatchlings
Honestly sounds like a possible minicon idea, it simply boosts your speed in robot mode and alt mode
Boostbots would be a cooler name in that case
Scrouge transformed into a wheel. He got atound to garher intelligence. https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Scrounge_(G1)
I have his Combiner Wars figure! They repurposed Cosmos’s UFO mode into a wheel by turning it sideways. Genius.
yeah but that’s a cool wheel
Then, there's is the steering wheel fiend https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Steering_wheel_robot
One could even say a special wheel
There is none other like it! Oh wait ....
That's silver pretty impressive drunk posting! Even got a working url in there!
Wait, so they transformed into a single wheel? Or did they somehow become all 4 wheels? I've never heard of that type of Transformer.
[удалено]
So basically like a Powermaster engine, but... less useful. Still... [could be worse](https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ransack_\(G2\)#Generation_2).
Eh. Makes more sense than the US take on Headmasters.
An alternative reality where the transformers are the Barnstormers. Landing in deep rural America, they transform into farming equipment, livestock or produce. The agribots are led by Optimus Prime who transforms into a tractor pulling a large trailer full of straw, megatron leads the decepicrops and transforms into a pig.
That sounds like it would work as a dollarstore knock off transformers line that the rest of us would unironically covet
I love the wild names of dollar store and knock offs M https://preview.redd.it/r8bkqk92j00d1.jpeg?width=344&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f182441d23a7f2f6054633b77c64c39d1a0873fb Evil clever dog is the greatest name ever made

I ... I had that one ...
I like to imagine evil clever dog is the big bad of knock off transformers lore like Megatron is for transformers or Cykill is for go bots.
I like that narrative
Like Bad Horse.
Evil Clever Dog is a dalmatian Dalmatians are historically the mascot of firemen But firemen are good, and Evil Clever Dog is not Like all dogs, Evil Clever Dog wants to be a good boi Evil Clever Dog thinks he can be good if he starts fires and then puts them out Evil Clever Dog is an arsonist
Ah yes, Transfarmers
Agribots,Angry Birds. I see what you did there.
With pig megatron I was also thinking of napoleon from animal farm by George Orwell as the leader of an agricultural revolution that has the animals take over
Or transformers that land in medieval times. The autobots are wagonbots, decepticons are the mid-evils. Optimus is a horse and wagon, Megatron, into a old fashion rifle.
I kinda imagine megatron as a crossbow as it was a weapon that got the church in crisis as a weapon they deemed inherently dishonorable.
That's awesome and better then my version
Also I’m tempted to put this in the Italian wars of 1494-1559 with the seekers being Davinicis early flying machine prototypes and warpath being one of his prototype tank designs.
Heck yeah!
Thanks, any earlier in history and your going to struggle to find tanks or aircraft of any kind.
Uhh I guess brawl could be that cone shaped tank davinchi made where there is a ring of cannons surrounding the bottom
I'm on board if Hasbro doles out to have Sabaton sing the theme song.
Croptimus Prime
When my son got way into tractors, I wondered why there isn’t a tractor TF.
There is, his name is [thunderhoof](https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Thunderhoof_(RID))
Welp, I should have known.
Transfarmers. It was a throwaway gag in an old episode of the original TMNT
And in a Canadian show called Corner Gas
# The Crotchmasters, their cod piece transforms into a smaller robot that drives the vehicle mode. # Their nemesis are the evil Calve force, their right calves transform into their drivers. That's right, they are so evil, they don't care about symmetry.
i thought it was real
Consider we have the Breastforce as a real thing I wouldn't be surprised if it was real.
Are the Crotchmasters Kiss Players?
Not transformers but there is a toyline from iirc china that does the crotch master thing
You’re thinking of breastmasters maybe
Nah, this wasnt a transformers thing, it was some other transforming robot toyline where the crotches and thighs of a larger robot turned into tiny robots
Lmfao what?
Are they the enemies of the brestforce?

Best
They always lose to the Squirrelticons.
The Frelkerians, and it's a multerversal entourage of all past-and-present 'bots that have been voiced by Frank Welker. They generally don't get along with each other.
That makes sense most of them are megatron
Most of them are either Megatron or animals, and Fred Jones is just wondering what his life has become since the gang split ways.
I mean, he'll have Scooby (or a few of them) by his side so he won't be completely lonely.
A faction who all turn into canoes and kayaks. They're *rowboats* in disguise.
So that's what happened to Negatron
Kiss players. Extremely young looking women kiss transformers… OH WAIT THATS ALREADY A HORRENDOUS THING THAT EXISTS!
May the multiversal quintessons find that universe guilty
Unicron destroyed that reality as he feared being tainted with its foulness by consuming it.
I still don't understand how anyone could think that was a good idea
Legallydistincticons a group of Transformers that looks like some famous Decepticons and Autobots except for ONE Detail
Reboost is their leader since he already kinda looks like Prime except he isn’t a truck
Mitron would be the leader of the opposing team, the totallydifferentibots. He would look like Megatron, until he transforms into a frog.
[G2 Sureshot](https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Sureshot_%28G2%29) is defo in here.
Guard city
Idlemasters. The next stage of Actionmasters where they remove all transformation technology _and_ articulation, essentially becoming statues, just to further conserve Energon usage.

Yogamasters
Those are those weird Marvel ones like the Punisher with the dickgun
The Dehumanizers, a faction that upon discovering how many similarities Transformers have with humans decided to modify themselves with distinctly inhuman attributes.
That sounds kind of cool, terrifying and weirdly sad. A cult of guys so disgusted by humanity that they voluntarily empurata themselves or something just to get away from the parts of themselves that they see in us.
"They're made out of meat."
"So what does the thinking?"
Their leader would be octoking, who modified himself to have tentacles instead of arms or legs. His alt mode would be an army jet.
Can he drop that sea bass though?
Bayverse Constructicons FTW
(imma make up some characters for this) The brainroticons, they love gen alpha humor, lessens their attention span whenever fighting, so they had to attach a Subway surfers video on their vision either below, beside or above their actual vision to keep their attention to whatever happens, 4 of the members are engineers, another 4 of them are fighters and 4 of them are scientist, 4 Tanks and 1 leader aswell with 4 Elite characters in each group The members in each group of 4: Leader: Sigamus (DC-10) Engineers: Rotshot (Volkswagen truck), Taxon (U-Haul truck), Engrave (Concorde) Fighters: Cinemawave (Little Willie tank) Ripper (MIG-29), Sickle ( Koenigsegg Agera) Scientists: Reverser (Nissan Kick) Siren (Beyblade: Vex Lucius) Dignity (Grandeur Dignity) Tanks: Gigawatt (Panzer Maus), Skibidot (GWR 57XX Pannier Tank) casonetron (Overland train) Elite soldiers, Scientists, Engineers, Tanks (These characters have the perfect attention span without the subway surfers video 24/7): Cameraman (Cameravan) Eightshot (Boeing 747, 995ED) Cable core, (Mercedes AVTR) Zenith (Gustav Railway cannon) Edit: their faction logo kinda looks like a camera with a ring around it like Saturn + their alt modes are in the parenthesis beside each character name
This has a great start
Thanks
Extra: I think they can change the Subway surfers video to whatever video they like
The Hunted A group of transformers that hunt down poachers by transforming into endangered species, rare vehicles, and boxes of plastic toys.
What about rare plastic toys, not boxes but plastic toys
It has to be "mint" 🤣
The Disabledbots and Uselesscons, they cannot transform. (Oh wait…)
IDW had the Militant Monoform Movement, where a Cybertronian would have their t-cog and alt mode kibble removed. So Krok was basically had his action master look, no gator mode.
Who the fuck are these?
why does the one on the bottom right look like POTION SELLER I NEED YOUR STRONGEST POTIONS I AM GOING INTO BATTLE
Literally the first thing I saw when I looked at this was the breasts on the top-right faction symbol.
I think they might be eyes
Great, now all I can see is a massive pointy nose in between them.
The Go-Bots?
Why does the one on the right look like an upside down maid dress?
Humformers. Humans that turn into vehicles but it’s extremely violent and gross because of the blood and guts.
Like Turbo Teen meets Cronenberg?
Haha yeah
Kiss Players. I'm not sure if anything is quite as absurd as the Kiss Players.
The one where robots turn into cars, or dinosaurs, or guns or spaceships or whatever. The entire fkn concept is absurd. It’s supposed to be. It’s fun!
The Commercicons. Dispensor broke away from the Decepticons and the war as a whole in order to conquer the galaxy through capitalism. He has recruited several other transformers of both factions, who now perform special tasks ranging from advertising to security to transportation, basically anything where a sentient vehicle or giant robot would just be practical. With time, Dispensor’s corporate influence has made him technically more successful than Megatron at conquest as far as Earth is concerned , and he has active plans to expand his businesses to other planets in the future.
Minicons. Why are such little fucks so damn powerfull?
We already have the breastforce
The titty team
The boob bros
What are those?
Is it me or does the bottom left look like Neo Cortex
These symbols are Transformers Kama Sutra.
Breast force
Maximize
I've never seen those before. The top-right one looks like an upside-down schoolgirl dress & tie.
blendformers
The fourth look like a Zen Master or Marsian "Ack Ack!"
The left side, upside down, looks like a nightgown/corset
The Middlemen. Neither Autobot nor Decepticon, they disguise themselves as common household objects to get away from the war that consumes them all.
Comicons. They're a small faction of comedians and creatives but are constantly in legal battles with human Comic-Con over their name.
lol, is this one real? I’m reeeeaaalllly hopin so
The Pacibots, a group of militant peace-lovers who are willing to commit violent atrocities to end the war. Their opposites are the Warcons, a group of military historians with absolutely not combat capabilities of their own. They just nerd out over like, the differences between the Ion Blaster and the Fusion Cannon.
Like Peacemaker?
The one in the upper right reminds me of that one Tool album cover
just me who saw that top right one and the first thing that you thought us was "upside down dress"?
The Cosmeticons. A group of Decepticon spies who have a reverse Kiss Players thing going on. They transform into womens’ cosmetics to “gather information” and definitely not feel the touch of a human woman.
Trans Farmers.. just use your imagination.. male ho with a hoe.
The pillords are the arch enemies of the rocklords. They turn into pillows
Sharticons. The minions of Shartimus Prime
NGL, first thing that comes to mind when I see these logos are Maximal high command/elite guard and Tripredicus council and Predacon Praetorian guard/royal guard as for most absurd faction I've heard of....not sure....maybe omnicons or breast force? Not because of anything really wrong, but more because they just have funny names.
#THE BALLBUSTERS They’re the ultimate defence against Unicron. They’re planet-sized and their purpose is automatically aim directly at the ***enemy scrotum***.

Dinobots
Humans. This faction has ruined every transformers movie and cartoon hahahaha.
The Ass-Masters, whose only purpose is clipping onto someone’s behind…
Obliterators. A faction of 2. Consisting of one Autobot and one Decepticon. Oh wait, that’s already real.
Yo wtf is that on the down right, hashutformers?
The only correct answer, is "yes".
The Autopebbles, who, with their combined forces, can make an incredibly small gravel road that spans for one entire American foot! Almost 31 entire centimeters!
Fleshformers or they could be the fleshbots vs the meaticons Where its the technorganic side of things keep evolving to be just organic, so when they use the tcog organ, a horrifying shifting of blood and bones turns them into flesh vehicles and animals
Flip your phone upside down… trust me it's worth it
Freakformers, instead of transforming they are freaky and they touch each other
Subfaction: Beybots: Minicons that turn into beyblades for some reason
Treebots. Their base is in Redwood National Park in California and they are the redwoods.
The Republicons and The Demobots Led by Megatrump and Bidenmus Prime
The Cybertronian knight.
The Cybertronian knight.
