transformers is funny because it seems to be a simple niche interest but in reality its like if your hot wheels came with greek mythology

spaceybot

I am RUNNING with the Greek mythology analogy because I've been quoting this to newcomers like a FREAK lately. Others have already touched on this but since the new Transformers One movie came out and new fans are joining: yes, the ha ha robot turns into car franchise has weirdly deep lore which is funny but I have got to stress that Transformers is also funny because you REALLY ARE forced to interact with it in a meta sense not unlike how you interact with Greek mythology. Also fun fact, Transformers has obscure lore claiming the the Olympian Gods are really the hologram avatars of the first 13 transformers who had made contact in ancient Greece

Anyways, if you're new and you're like "why is this character like X here but Y here" or "why does this one term mean something different in this continuity, which continuity is best" or god forbid "how do I get into Transformers" (good luck) you just gotta approach it like enjoying Greek mythology, baby.

This ain't no Star Wars where you can just jump in and trust that stuff stays the same. This place is a dumpster fire. But like how Hades in Greek mythos has multiple depictions and interpretations spanning from his creation till now, if you get the core recognizable traits down (or even the spirit of them), any re-telling is fair game, even really faraway / super inspired re-tellings like Hades of the Hadestown musical. Ok now take a look at this guy:

This GUY—Sentinel Prime—is an amalgamation of every character who came before him since his creation and it is SO fun to dissect him à la greek mythologist / classicist:

His powered armor is inspired by a version of Sentinel Prime from a 2006 comic

Some of his colors and part of his story come from Sentinel Zeta Prime from a 2010 video game (his colors + personality also draw from a Sentinel Prime in a 2010 animated show)

His wings and sword come from Michael Bay's version of Sentinel Prime in the 2011 live action movie

His KNEES his goddamn KNEES come from a 2016 Sentinel Prime toy who otherwise looks nothing like this guy

So basically bro is more often than not nothing like his other depictions in any meaningful way but is so quintessentially himself that we all just go "yup. that's the guy". Now apply that to like 400+ blorbo Transformers. Genderbent, origin changed, whatever, welcome to the Transformers sandbox, here's how to play lol. Sure you can argue that this works the same for like any long running, frequently rebooting IP like Marvel but I think it fits especially well with Transformers, which is now 40 years old and lives up to its name in terms of consistency.
