Are you playing a canon character? How familiar are you with the extent of their history? Oh, they look all fine on the surface but they've been around for a long enough period of time to have done some stupid or really slagged up stuff they'd rather people didn't remember. Here, we'll be dragging out these deep dark secrets to light. Feel free to submit your own to the vault. As knowledgeable as I am, even some secrets lurk outta my grasp.

First, we'll start with:


Mirage

Okay, so Mirage is an easy target. Pretty much wherever there's a Mirage, there's an accusation that he's a traitor lurking not for off. But that isn't why he's on here.



This...infamous image really speaks for itself. I'm not sure what more you can say about alligator skin Mirage, other than someone call the damn fashion police and arrest that mech, pronto.

For an added bonus, here have this Mitsubishi Mirage.




Optimus Prime

Prime? Le gasp, how can Prime be on this list! He's a paragon of virtue. He's robo-Jesus. He dies again and again for freedom. How can there be anything wrong with Optimus? There's no wrong that he can do!

Wait, what's that you say? What-?

The fact that Optimus appeared in Kiss Players. It happened. It did indeed happen. There was a time in which he gained power ups by being smooched by a human girl. No more comments necessary.



To sanitize your mind from that which must never be spoken, have Optimash Prime.

This may come as a surprise but the big truck everyone familiar with is Optimus. This guy was actually originally the Prime component of him.



Roller's sick of y'all calling Optimus 'Prime' when he ain't the Prime part.


Megatron

Well of course Megatron's done some fragged up slag. He's a power hungry tyrant. He should have been contender number one, the first entry in this list. So where to-



G1 Megatron's entire career deserves to be mocked for this alt mode. And that not even mentioning any of the many gloriously stupid ideas he had during that time. Ideas like the-




Nothing tops the Giant Purple Griffin. NOTHING.


Wheeljack



That is all.

I must jump into this thread.

Megatron

The fearless leader hasn't always been a pillar of dignity.



Yes, that is a dinosaur bowling him over.

Bumblebee

How could adorable, always loveable Bumblebee go wrong??



That dude is beating on him like Bee owes him money.

[Deleted]

Oh man, I could do this all day.

Fortress Maximus



I was introduced to the Headmasters cartoon when I was a kid; one of my cousins had the Fort Max toy, and I was jealous as hell. That thing was a beast. The cartoon was terrible, but also kind of fun and full of crack. I always liked Fortress. Unfortunately for him, the mere existence of both the comic and the cartoon means there's a lot of hilariously weird stuff to embarrass the poor bastard with.



WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT. THAT IS NOT HOW NEGOTIATIONS WORK AT ALL.



He made this face once trying to get Daniel to shut up.



Had a badass sword. Got zapped by it.



Fought a ragey space plant once.



Which kind of beat on him a bit.



Had to get rescued from Scorponok by Daniel and Wheelie.



Okay, you get a few style points for this.



"Now take all our Autobot secrets! All 2MB of them!"



Gave Kup a hug. Dawwwwww.



I forget where I got this, but it made me laugh. That is probably the last person you should be punching, Max. Jesus.

So yeah, this is just a handful of great Fortress moments. His pacifistic character did an abrupt about-face once IDW got a hold of him, but that's okay - the hardass warden shtick is cool, and so far IDW has treated the character pretty wel-



Oh, right.

He didn't succeed in taking the canon away, but I still give Mirage points for having the guts to take Megatron on all by himself, and somehow managing to get back up after getting kicked in the groin by a foot the size of his entire leg.

[Deleted]

I think Megatron casually booting Mirage in the background might be the best thing I have ever seen. Jazz just couldn't be bothered.

Presented without comment.

Ratchet and Megatron have always had a really odd relationship. From that time when they got fused together into one horrible mis-matched creation-



-to the time Megetron installed Ratchet's head into his battle sled-



-and then there was the time Ratchet punched Megatron in the crotch-



I dunno if it's really accurate to say Optimus and Megatron are arch-enemies. Especially when they seem to be spending half their battles groping each other-



Methinks its actually Ratchet and Megatron. Ratchet Prime, anyone?

Never mind, there was also that one time when Megatron kept Ratchet locked up in his basement for fifteen years to talk because he considered Ratchet a friend thus showing that Megatron has no idea how friendships even work.
