Whether you grew upwards post-obit the drawing in the mid 1980s or enjoyed watching the big budget, modern version thanks to Hollywood director Michael Bay, the Transformers has something for everyone. Information technology takes the excitement of fast cars and cool jets and combines them with the high-tech wonderment of robots. Information technology was like owning two toys in 1, and their popularity produced comic books, crossovers, and of course lots and lots of toys and collectables! So what happens when fans get a chance to evidence their love for the robots in disguise? That'southward when things really kickoff to transform!

Fans decided to give some of their favorite characters an overhaul. What practice you lot call Autobots that accept been merged with characters from Star Wars? What if your favorite Decepticon was steampunked? Could the wonderment of the Transformers be darkened by the horror and warped visions of Stephen King? What if we tied up Optimus Prime? We've got Autobots and Decepticons, only move over and make way for The Corrupticons! That'south what we call our xv deviant pieces of Transformers fan art that is most definitely more than than meets the eye!

15 STEAMPUNK SOUNDWAVE

Soundwave would transform into a robot from an old school tape cassette player. When he opened his chest casing, the tapes he were holding would transform into other Decepticons, making him not only a one man army but 1 pretty cool robot. Soundwave could launch the flying Laserbeak, the tremor-producing Rumble, and the stealthy Ravage, who looked like a robotic predator cat (to proper name a few).

Thanks to the awesome artwork of BrianKesinger, Soundwave is reimagined as a steampunk version of himself. Here he looks like a pianola, a self-playing piano that was invented manner dorsum around the turn of the century. You tin see one playing during the opening credits of Westworld. Instead of a mini-cassette tape, Laserbeak is a flight music gyre. How do y'all make Soundwave cooler than he already is? Requite him a phonograph horn!

14 AUTOBOTS IN Beloved

Hey, even robots need some love every in one case in a while! Sometimes nosotros retrieve of a robot to be cold and calculating, but the Autobots take shown time and time again how compassionate they are equally fighters and protectors. If they can be angry and be sorry then why can't they exist sweet towards 1 some other? We're not sure why a robot has to exist male or female, and in early versions of the series female Transformers were considered rare.

Creative person Pika imagines Optimus Prime with the Female Autobot Causeway, created by ElitaOneArts. Although Causeway is a fan cosmos, she certainly was real enough to steal Prime number abroad from Elita 1. Hopefully this is a legitimate human relationship and Causeway is not some side chick that Optimus sees when he claims he'south fighting Decepticons. Autobots, transform into some privacy, please!

13 BUMBLEBEEB-viii

When making Star Wars: The Strength Awakens, J.J. Abrams was looking for a droid that would exist every bit enjoyable and fun to watch as R2D2 and he found it in the form of BB-eight. Basically a big rolling brawl, BB-viii had enough charisma and charm to tag along with Finn and Rey on their space-faring adventures. BB-8 also fabricated for a corking remote-controlled toy for all ages. Is at that place any other fashion to brand it fifty-fifty more than awesome?

Artist Zyuna combines the rolling coolness of BB-eight and merges it with one of the near popular Autobots of all time: Bumblebee, due to become his own spinoff motion-picture show in December of 2018. BB-8's white and orange colors are replaced with Bumblebee's iconic yellow with the big red Autobot symbol on his chest... although he'southward a abiding rolling sphere so that insignia'south rarely going to be in one place.

12 Bender-CON

When it comes to mashups, this one piques our curiosity. If Bough from Futurama was a Transformer, he would virtually likely exist a Decepticon, and creative person spacecoyote agrees, equally we can see in his amazing drawing. He's got the Bender scowl down and he's chomping on a cigar, but based on his chest and the wheels on his arms, it looks like he would transform into a... car? Wouldn't that make him an Autobot?

Granted not all Decepticons are planes and not all Autobots are cars. The Stunticons were Decepticon cars that could bring together together to form the super-Decepticon Menasor. Sky Lynx and Jetfire were Autobots that were actually airplanes. And so perhaps Bender started out every bit an Autobot and and then became a Decepticon? Considering he'south got Megatron'due south coloring and signature helmet, possibly he took on a leadership role? Bendatron has a nice ring to it!

11 MY LITTLE TRANSFORMING PONY

Some of the all-time Transformers art tin either bear witness the Autobots or Decepticons in crazy situations, or deconstructs just what exactly a robot can transform into. Yet, this artwork by MoonRayCZ combines the Autobots with My Fiddling Pony without having to transform the little horses into robotic versions of themselves.

The styles and colors of My Little Pony and Transformers are impressively blended together. You might be tempted to call them My Petty Transformers, but did you know that already exists as a YouTube channel created back in 2006? It's a wonderful mashup of terminate movement animation using bodily My Little Pony and Transformers toys combined with sound bytes from the bodily shows. You have to see it to believe, but information technology's yet fun to watch over 10 years later on!

10 SULTRY MEGATRON

Megatron was the leader of the Decepticons and ruled with an iron fist. He had to contend with Starscream's abiding plotting to usurp his control while coming up with new and exciting ways to destroy the Autobots and all of humanity. Megatron was known for being cruel and menacing, but was he ever known for his oozing sexuality? How about the seductive glances that he would give the enemy?

Artist oo0shed0oo gives the states ahawt side to Megatron that we haven't seen... e'er. Here, Megatron seems to be examining the enemy from afar with his binoculars but has taken a moment to requite the states a sly smirk. Nosotros besides learn that Megatron likes to habiliment bikini briefs, as he has his finger hooked confronting the side while smiling at the states. Take that mental attitude and put information technology wherever you got that giant crushed velvet pillow, Megatron!

nine BUMBLEBEE ANIME

Just what makes Bumblebee so darn popular? He doesn't accept the might of Optimus Prime number, the savagery of Grimlock, or the groovy manner of Blaster, but fans e'er will mention the picayune yellow Volkswagon as one of their favorite Autobots of all time. Perhaps that's why he'southward so great: he has to be twice as scrappy because everyone else around him is twice as big. Although he would eventually get an upgrade and be called Goldbug, there'due south always a spot in our hearts for Bumblebee.

Artist iq40 taps into the joy of Bumblee but not the literalness of information technology, giving us Bumblee as if he were an anime character. The color, the design of the boots, and the fiery cherry hair give us the impression that she'due south jumping into action and is going to encounter her mission through to the very end!

eight MEOW-GATRON

Megatron was the leader of the Decepticons just always had to watch his back effectually Starscream. In Transformers: The Motion picture, Starscream finally had his twenty-four hours. After a devastating battle between Megatron and Optimus Prime number, Starscream throws Megatron out of Astrotrain forth with several other injured Decepticons. Starscream finally becomes leader of the Decepticons for a cursory flow of time, but is before long terminated by Galvatron.

Artist applejack gives u.s. a true cat with a Decepticon collar as well every bit folded up wings on their back, which leads us to believe that this is a feline version of Starscream. This makes pretty skilful sense; similar to Starscream, a cat can be friendly and supportive at times, but when you least look, information technology can strike at you with blinding speed and rage. Yep, that certainly sounds similar Starscream, simply does it sound like your pet? If and then, lookout man out!

vii AUTOBOTS ON THE Embankment

The Autobots wage a desperate war against the Deceptions, and it's always nice to run into when they have moments to themselves to relax. Thanks to GoddessMechanic we see a number of Autobots, including Optimus Prime and Hot Rod hanging out at the embankment. And although they clearly look like they're having a good time, there are some somewhat serious questions we accept to enquire.

Wouldn't information technology be bad for robots to hang out at the beach? Isn't there enough sand to get on their insides and ruin how they operate? What nigh the common salt water that it looks like Bumblebee is almost to go into? Wouldn't that be bad for him? Either way, we'd rather encounter images like this than our favorite Autobots being trounced in a fight with Deceptions!

6 DEADPOOL-CONS

The Deadpool sequel release appointment was moved before to May 18, 2018, and then fans have less look time to see their favorite Merc With a Mouth on the screen again. Cheers to the acquisition of Fox by Marvel, Deadpool is back with all of the other Marvel properties, so but fourth dimension will tell how different future versions of Wade Wilson will exist. Hopefully he'll continue to dispense R-rated comedy and exist violent every bit hell while breaking the fourth wall.

Artist PsychosisEvermore provides us with a keen mashup of Deadpool with the Deception symbol. Although it'south not known how the Decepticon insignia originated, at first glance information technology does expect like a modified outline of the head of Soundwave, just as the Autobot symbol bears somewhat of a resemblance to Prowl. For those that follow the Transformers, you know there are insignias for the Junkions, The Cybertron Guard, and more than!

five OPTIMUS OVERDRIVE

Fans of Stephen Male monarch love him for his ability to write amazing horror stories. He even wrote additional cloth under the name Ricahrd Bachman. Of all the stories that he's written over the decades, King has only directed i feature film. The 1986 picture show Maximum Overdrive, also written by King, starred Emilio Estevez and Yeardley Smith (voice of Lisa Simpson) and was a horror story about machines coming to life and trying to impale people.

Creative person Hartter takes the scary premise of homicidal vehicles and applies it to the Autobots, turning Optimus Prime into one of the film's main antagonists: a truck with a Green Goblin-esque face on the front end. The artwork is a great idea for a so-so motion-picture show; even Stephen King disliked what he fabricated. Nevertheless with music by Ac/DC it might exist worth another viewing.

4 AUTOBOTS... UNTIE ME!

Optimus Prime number has had to get himself out of many unsafe situations in the by. He's overcome swell odds to salve his fellow Autobots, the planet Cybertron, fifty-fifty the Earth and everyone on it. He'southward even come up back from the dead. Because of his skillful intentions and inspiring strength it often seems similar there's nil Optimus Prime tin can't practice. And so how come up it looks like he tin't untie himself?

Artist TheSpeed0fLight offers us a rather peculiar scenario. It appears that Optimus is somewhat hog-tied up non necessarily spring by metal bondage but perhaps by cloth, mayhap from a bed spread. This scenario evokes less Transformers and more than l Shades of Grayness and nosotros promise he's able to untangle himself earlier he transforms back into a semi truck.

3 BATHING BOTS

For nostalgia, watch the Transformers cartoon series from the 1980s. Also, if you watch teen films from that flow, you're probable to see in a teenage boy's room a wall poster of Farrah Fawcett or Bo Derek. In the 1990s perhaps it was of Jennifer Aniston or Cindy Crawford. What about robots? Do you think they would have posters of scantily clad robots emerging from a puddle?

Artist Grrriva plays with this concept, every bit Arcee is bathing in energon in a way that she knows someone is watching her. As illicit as her pose is, she is bathing in energon, not water. Isn't energon the power that is used to fuel the transformers? If so, then isn't information technology similar she'south bathing in blood? Can a robot be a vampire? Likewise many questions? Ah, the 1980s... they were much simpler times!

2 PRIME Time

What ability couples come to mind when yous recollect of superheroes? Superman and Wonder Woman at i point were an item. What well-nigh Vision and Scarlet Witch? Apollo and Midnighter? Neo and Trinity? You lot want to see 2 people that are strong but when they're together possess a force that exists from the wonders of their bonding. Do the same things apply for two robots?

Elita One and Optimus Prime might be the reigning power couple amongst machines. Their strength and affection is captured wonderfully by artust yhykurama that shows Elita One standing strong while holding the as strong hand of Optimus Prime number. As the saying goes, backside every strong woman robot stands a potent male person robot that can transform itself into a red semi-truck.

1 CHUN-LI BOTS

In the 1984 Transformers cartoon, we run into the Autobots and Decepticons crash land on Earth millions of years in the past. Eventually they are revived during the 1980s and in club to blend in they mirror the vehicles around them to blend in with the unsuspecting population of Earth. In this mashup by MostlyFunStuff, information technology appears that instead of the first thing they institute was a car or a plane, they saw Chun-Li and decided to copy her!

Perhaps it's the opposite? Mayhap somehow Chun-Li plant herself on Cybertron where she bumped into a small merely fanatic fan base of operations of hers? Implausible? Yes. Hilarious? Also aye. We're impressed at how her robotic fans are still metallic and mechanical yet all the same evoke the colors and style of the Street Fighter characters. Why are they all crazy dissimilar sizes? And just one person wants her signature? Fans... and then fickle!
