I have gotten sucked into the TFC fandom and consumed a lot of fanfics and fanart
and I have crossover ideas
sadly, i'm not talented enough to write my own fanfics so Imma just dump my crossover ideas in this post
these may or may not suck, idk
TFC x Undertale (maybe MC is Frisk years after Monsters have been freed or maybe MC is still a child and has a platonic friendship with Pierrot)
TFC x The Greatest Showman (idk why but I got recommended The Greatest Showman after I got into TFC)
TFC x Epic the musical (Penelope or Odysseus as MC's past life?)
TFC x Murder Drones (maybe Tessa!MC? rip Pierrot once he finds out what Cyn did)
TFC x TADC (maybe the monsters get isekai to the digital circus)
TFC x Steven Universe
thats all of the crossovers I have atm, i might edit and add more later
There is this specific sub trope in crossover fanfiction where person A is sent to person Bs world to raise them as their own child.
With this in mind I have a proposal.
Tf One MegOp get sent to TF Animated and raise Tfa Optimus as their own.
Like instead of D16 letting Optimus go he falls to Primus’s core with him in a desperate embrace. Once they arrive together at the spark Primus offers chance at forgiveness for D16. Go to another dimension and help fix their damaged world. Once completed D16 will be returned to his world and deemed worthy of Megatronus’s cog.
D16 agrees if only Orion is revived as well which was going to happen anyways but Primus agrees. But before Orion can be sent back as Optimus Prime he begs to join D16. After some consideration between the primes they agree and together the two are sent to the TFA world… slag they forgot to ask for instructions.
TRANSFORMERS X CHAINSAW MAN: WEAPONFORMERS concept
chainsaw man is one of my fav animes and i think most of the weapon devils' humanoid forms (the hybrid forms) would look so badass in transformers. we have beastformers, weaponformers would be soooooo cool...
cybertronians who have their arms and helms transform into weapons. rather than transforming conventionally, they have wind-up t-cogs that require a trigger pull (throttle triggers for chainsaws, gun triggers for guns, pins for bombs just like in CSM). this means they can't transform at will or by command, they need access to their triggers to transform. it would sort of alienate them from rest of cybertron.
or perhaps they're a type of transformer within the larger umbrella of the transformers species. a vastly different biology...
like dawgggggggggggg the potential of that in a series like transformers in insane, especially when concepts like functionalism already exist. the idea of bots who are used as weapons due to their alts.. imagine that being a backstory for megatron or the decepticons.
they have three forms: regular bipedal, weapon-bipedal and then pure weapon. pure weapon is when they turn into the weapon itself. so a chainsaw alt would turn into an actual freaking chainsaw, a gun alt would turn into an actual gun, etc...
with this idea, i thought of a hypothetical for megatron:
Megatron needs to be a fusion-canon bro...
imagine the cannon being something he was inherently made with, the violence and need to be dominant an inherent part of his coding that makes him a slave to his nature which drives him to despise the authority of Cybertron that mandated his creation, only for that hatred to transform from 'authority of Cybertron' to 'Cybertronian society'.
it would also align with his 'might is right', 'rule of the strong' agenda cause he was literally made as one of the strongest weapons in canon. it also gives him a military background which would make him a deadly adversary and commander. i never truly understood how IDW megatron or TFP megatron just became successful commanders with no military experience: gladiatorial combat is not the same as war. Autobots struggling would make actual sense.
he's would be a literal walking, talking weapon of mass destruction... he's got a weapon that can decimate civilisations bound to his helm and servos.
also, since weaponformers have triggers to transform, it also means that others could force them to transform. it would be a huge violation of autonomy but if there's something pre-war Cybertron seems to hate in most iterations, its autonomy. there's a lot to explore in that idea, i feel.
weaponformers could have multiple arms so that they can have more space to wield weaponry. it would be like a tank that can just shred through enemies. of course, this is possible for simpler weapons like saws, swords and guns, not for more complex + heavy weapons like bombs or canons. i don't get why we don't have multi-limbed transformers yet... i think four-armed or six-armed transformers would look cool as shit. they're aliens, they need not always look human.
considering how wildly different their transformations are and the fact that they are literal weapons, i think there would be a lot of discrimination between them or calls to 'keep them in check' from the Senate... though, they would be essential to the Cybertronian empire's imperialist ambitions at the same time.
i would read the shit out of a fic involving this..
JUST LOOK AT THIS FIRE DESIGN (CROSSBOW devil)
there's more weapon devil in chainsaw man and all of em got these fire designs and trigger mechanisms, its a very interesting manga with... a lot going on BUT ITS SO COOL
here are a few more designs from the manga! [left: sphere, whip, long sword]
I have a head canon that in a world where there are other heroes and Danny and his family have to cross jurisdictions to catch a ghost outside of Amity Park that Danny would extend some professional courtesy and try to contact the local hero(es) so that 1.they know that there is ghost activity in their area and 2. he (and his family if he's there with them) is there to deal with it, if the local heroes want the help. The reason Danny would do this? He's been the wrong end of bad press and suspicion in his career as a hero and he just wants to be honest and upfront to other heroes as possible to prevent any misunderstandings. Whether this actually works in practice, however...
Okay but consider -- Searching For A World That Doesn't Exist x Minecraft Story Mode crossover
Maybe one day Avery, while wandering his Minecraft world in the aftermath of DAWTDE, stumbles into a certain group of adventurers who invite him to travel with them after he garners their curiosity, and cue him going with them on chaotic adventures (and maybe them helping him deal with his mourning and emotions and self-worth struggles along the way)
or the New Order of the Stone stumble upon the mysterious cave, explore it out of curiosity, and then accidentally get tangled up in something they weren't meant to find, and find themselves trying to escape eldritch horrors -- and maybe bumping into our guys Avery and D3rlord3 (who is even more horrified seeing new potential victims of the King in Yellow accidentally stumble upon the mines and doorways). Either way, potential canon divergent moments and chaos ensues.
Idk I felt like wanting the blorbos from two of my favorite Minecraft-related media to meet and the possibilities are endless
crossover ideas haunt me. anyway i think if i wanted to i could write a yoshikaru x jjk fic where gojo is sent to investigate the village to gauge how it’s really powerful curses should be handled, and ends up finding the most powerful one hiding in the body of a teenage boy. and he was going to exorcise it but another boy, this one somehow having the same curse but being fully alive, steps forward.
and now gojo has a very familiar friendship(?) to take care of. not that it’s his of course.
