'''Iron Man''', aka '''Anthony Edward Stark''', appears to be the most sensible member of his species. While a normal, squishy human would be content to walk around vulnerable to attack, he has taken the surprisingly logical step of encasing himself in a metal suit carrying advanced weapons like a ''proper'' being.

He is not [[G.B. Blackrock]].

==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 comics===
For some time, Iron Man had been investigating rumors of [[Transformer|giant alien robots]] secretly living among humans, and constructed a giant armored suit just in case. His suspicions were confirmed during the [[Decepticon]] attack on [[Latveria]], and he took his giant suit to join the other Avengers who were investigating the situation. On the way, he was contacted by [[Captain America]] to make sure that [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]]'s [[Psycho-Prism]]-repressing devices were safe for humans. Iron Man arrived in Latveria just in time to join the Avengers and their new [[Autobot]] allies in the fight against several super-powered Decepticons. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Two}} While the giant suit was effective in the face of the alien robots, it proved quite the energy guzzler, nearly expending all its reserves during the battle. The Autobots helped Iron Man out by offering their own energy, supercharging his armor to dangerous levels. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Three}}

When [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], leader of the Decepticons, arrived on the scene, Iron Man challenged him personally... and was quickly dispatched. Overloaded with energy, his anti-Transformer suit was finished off when Megatron severed its head with his [[fusion cannon]]. Fortunately, Iron Man himself was controlling the mech from inside its chest, and came out unharmed to continue the battle using his regular suit. Eventually, the Decepticons were vanquished and the situation in Latveria was resolved. As Iron Man returned home aboard the [[Quinjet]], he was already making plans for an even ''larger'' suit... {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Four}}

===Marvel ''Crossovers'' toy bios===
Working with [[Mister Fantastic]], Iron Man used alien technology to build transforming [[Mech|battle suits]] for the most marketable of [[Earth]]'s [[:Category:Superheroes|heroes]]. Being a control freak, the one he built for himself has an override system allowing him to take control of the rest.<ref>Iron Man's ''Crossovers'' toy bio</ref>

Later, Iron Man painted his battle suit black in order to disguise it as a regular fighter jet and lull his enemy, [[Doctor Doom]], into a false sense of security.<ref>Black Iron Man's ''Crossovers'' toy bio</ref> At some point, he built himself a new suit, along with one for [[Spider-Man]].

:This Iron Man toy transforms into a "flying wing" style stealth bomber with two firing missiles under its wings. He comes packaged with [[Spider-Man]] (who transforms into a helicopter), and can combine with him in either mode to form a "giant super bomber" or a robot mode that mostly just looks like Spider-Man wearing an Iron Man plane hat.

:This mold was also used to make [[War Machine]] in the "Iron Man 2 Concept Series" (see below) and later redecoed again into a "glow in the dark" deco.

:To tie in with the release of ''[[wikipedia:Iron_Man_2|Iron Man 2]]'', this entire ''Crossovers'' assortment is part of the "Iron Man 2 Concept Series", featuring Iron Man and War Machine toys. One of these is a redeco of the original jet mold with the gray parts replaced by more red and yellow.

==Notes==
[[Image:Crossovers-toy_IronMan_unused_deco.jpg|thumb|200px|Early stock photo of the redeco Iron Man.]]

* Reprints of Iron Man stories were run as a back-up strip in early issues of the Marvel UK Transformers comics. Further reprints featuring the present day Iron Man appeared in issues #126-129 and #146-152. The Iron Man of 2020 also appeared in a crossover with [[Spider-Man]] reprinted in issues #119-125.
*Early stock photos gave the original Iron Man toy's redeco a different color scheme, one that resembled [[wikia:c:marvel:Iron Man Armor MK I|Iron Man Armor Model 01]] and featured silverish gold in place of the black parts.
* Iron Man is voiced by [[David Kaye]] in the cartoon ''[[Wikipedia:Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes|Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes]]'' as a guest character and the video game ''[[Wikipedia:Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects|Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects]]''. Voice acting is a small world. ''[[Megatron (BW)|Yeesss]]''.

:''War Machine is a [[human]] from the [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] portion of the [[Crossovers]] [[continuity family]].''

'''War Machine''' is a black [[Iron Man]]. He's a big fan of firepower, believing it to be very important to have as many guns on your person as possible. To this end, he got the military to upgrade his original armored suit into a massive, heavily armed mech capable of transforming into a jet.

**''Accessories:'' Two missiles

:A [[redeco]] of Iron Man from the Iron Man/[[Spider-Man]] [[combiner]] 2-pack, War Machine transforms into a "flying wing" style stealth bomber with two firing missiles under its wings. While the toy was only available on its own, it can still combine with the Spider-Man helicopter if you want it to. War Machine was sold under the "''[[wikipedia:Iron_Man_2|Iron Man 2]]'' Concept Series" banner.

*'''War Machine''' (Marvel, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Gun

:The War Machine figure is appropriately a [[Black repaint]] of the retooled ''Crossovers'' [[Iron Man]] toy, transforming into a Humvee. He has the same head as Iron Man and is armed with a large gun that mounts on his roof in vehicle mode. This gun and its attachment point were originally designed for the canceled [[Punisher]] toy.

[[Image:Ironman.jpg|right|250px|thumb|[[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] realizes pushing Iron Man down a flight of stairs requires a flight of stairs.]]
'''Iron Man''', aka '''Anthony Edward Stark''', appears to be the most sensible member of his species. While a normal, squishy human would be content to walk around vulnerable to attack, he has taken the surprisingly logical step of encasing himself in a metal suit carrying advanced weapons like a ''proper'' being.

He is not [[G.B. Blackrock]].

==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 comics===
For some time, Iron Man had been investigating rumors of [[Transformer|giant alien robots]] secretly living among humans, and constructed a giant armored suit just in case. His suspicions were confirmed during the [[Decepticon]] attack on [[Latveria]], and he took his giant suit to join the other Avengers who were investigating the situation. On the way, he was contacted by [[Captain America]] to make sure that [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]]'s [[Psycho-Prism]]-repressing devices were safe for humans. Iron Man arrived in Latveria just in time to join the Avengers and their new [[Autobot]] allies in the fight against several super-powered Decepticons. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Two}} While the giant suit was effective in the face of the alien robots, it proved quite the energy guzzler, nearly expending all its reserves during the battle. The Autobots helped Iron Man out by offering their own energy, supercharging his armor to dangerous levels. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Three}}

When [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], leader of the Decepticons, arrived on the scene, Iron Man challenged him personally... and was quickly dispatched. Overloaded with energy, his anti-Transformer suit was finished off when Megatron severed its head with his [[fusion cannon]]. Fortunately, Iron Man himself was controlling the mech from inside its chest, and came out unharmed to continue the battle using his regular suit. Eventually, the Decepticons were vanquished and the situation in Latveria was resolved. As Iron Man returned home aboard the [[Quinjet]], he was already making plans for an even ''larger'' suit... {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Four}}

===Marvel ''Crossovers'' toy bios===
Working with [[Mister Fantastic]], Iron Man used alien technology to build transforming [[Mech|battle suits]] for the most marketable of [[Earth]]'s [[:Category:Superheroes|heroes]]. Being a control freak, the one he built for himself has an override system allowing him to take control of the rest.<ref>Iron Man's ''Crossovers'' toy bio</ref>

Later, Iron Man painted his battle suit black in order to disguise it as a regular fighter jet and lull his enemy, [[Doctor Doom]], into a false sense of security.<ref>Black Iron Man's ''Crossovers'' toy bio</ref> At some point, he built himself a new suit, along with one for [[Spider-Man]]. These two mechs had the ability to combine with each other.<ref>Spider-Man/Iron Man's ''Crossovers'' toy bio</ref> After realizing that there are times when speed on the ground is more useful than flying, he constructed ''another'' mech, this time shaped like a sports car. It's just as fast as the jets, though.<ref>Sports car Iron Man's ''Crossovers'' toy bio</ref>

* Many veteren ''Transformers'' voice actors from numerous series have lended their voices to many different generations of ''My Little Pony'' cartoons, including [[Frank Welker]], [[Susan Blu]], [[Charlie Adler]], [[Victor Caroli]], [[Venus Terzo]], [[Brian Drummond]], [[Tabitha St. Germain]] and [[Tara Strong]].

*[http://joeguide.com/interviews/buzzdixon.shtml In an interview], [[Buzz Dixon]] claimed that his initial "punch-up" of the script for ''My Little Ponies: The Movie'' would have featured the ponies encountering characters from ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|The Transformers]]'', among other Hasbro franchises.

:''At one point one of the Little Ponies had to go looking for...something or someone, I forget. I suggested she encounter some of the Transformers and [[G.I. Joe (team)|Joes]] in her search, specifically, a scene where she flies up to [[Shipwreck]] who is drinking some amber fluid from a bottle.''

:''Shipwreck would just stare at her in bug-eyed disbelief and she’d fly on, then Shipwreck would smash the bottle, take his cap off his head, put his left hand over his heart and raise his right hand in an oath, muttering frantically under his breath. [[Hasbro]] said, "Very funny. No."''

* According to [[Aaron Archer]] at the [[BotCon 2008]] Hasbro Commentary viewing of the live-action ''Transformers'' film, the ''My Little Pony'' prop carried by the little girl had to come from the personal collection of a Hasbro employee, as that particular style of figure ceased production prior to the beginning of the movie's filming. She never got it back, as it was later auctioned for charity, and whether she was ever able to replace it is uncertain.

* In ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Transformers Animated]]'', [[Professor Princess]]' flying unicorn doll Powdered Sugar is a [[homage]] to My Little Pony toys.

[[Image:Quickslingerrender.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Damn my double-X chromosomes!]]

'''Quickslinger''' is a real "girl-next-door" type who doesn't mind getting dirty but "cleans up well." She knows her male peers have a fancy for her, and she uses this to her advantage.

She hates the way girls are stereotyped so much that she forces herself to act as non-girly as possible. You could probably say she's a self-hating girl, but without the self-awareness that term usually implies. She secretly wishes she could act girly, but she apparently can't be an empowered female if she actually acts like a female. That's some self-defeating logic, there. Somebody never made it through gender studies.

[[Image:Quickslingermiscolor.jpg|left|150px|thumb|She was having a bad color day.]]
Quickslinger was walking alone on the abandoned surface of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when she noticed she had a splinter in her finger. She wondered, being a robot, how that was even possible. Before she could contemplate further, she was knocked aside as the battle between [[Vector Prime]] and [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]] exploded out of the ground beneath her. {{storylink|Balancing Act, Pt 5}}

Quickslinger has no official toy. She began as a kitbashed fan character by [[Shawn D. Tessmann]] ([[BotCon]]'s customization class guy) published in the [[Fun Publications]] fan club magazine. Basically, she's ''Cybertron'' [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]] painted lavender.

==Notes==
*In her only fictional appearance, she is miscolored and unnamed. She was only identified as Quickslinger after-the-fact, mentioned as part of the how-to-make-Quickslinger article in the [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 7|following issue]].
* The Fan Club magazine mentioned that there was to be a Quickslinger-based contest at [[BotCon 2006]], in which people could submit ''their'' Quickslinger kitbashes and the judges would pick the best one. Come BotCon 2006, there were apparently a grand total of no entries. D'oh!
* The name "Quickslinger" was recycled from Hasbro's now-defunct ''[[Wikipedia:Xevoz|Xevoz]]'' toyline.

Transformer romance

2011-04-10T12:33:03Z

184.155.209.70: /* Generation 1 */

[[Image:Orionpax.jpg|400px|right|thumb|"I'll spend the rest of my existence trying to save his afterburner, then he finally returns the favour by [[#Sex|plugging into me]] while I am unconscious. Ours is a healthy relationship."]]
Some will vehemently refuse to admit it exists. Others ''really'' don't care about [[Transformers brand|the brand]] beyond it. Regardless of [[Fandom|opinions]], [[Transformer]]s engaging in or pursuing interaction of a '''romantic nature''' is a well-established element in pretty much every continuity. For the most part, Transformers are observed searching for romantic partners amongst their own kind, but attraction to organic lifeforms and even non-living objects has been documented as well.

Some wonder why a species that likely does not [[Reproduction|reproduce]] sexually would participate in behavior that in other creatures exists as a means to promote sex and thereby new life. While a definitive answer to this has yet to be given, the question as to why Transformers become romantically involved with one another can be approached from a different angle. Transformers are a highly social species. This is shown through their very human-like society, interpersonal interactions, [[Relatives|familial relationships]], and even the fairly common practice of merging [[Combiner|bodies]] and minds. If these are not frowned upon, then why should social connections of the romantic kind be regarded much differently, if at all? Perhaps there is no reason for them to engage in romance, but then there is equally no reason for them not to.

Though rather obscure, there is even an official term for two Transformers in a relationship: "[[spark]]mates". Existing as a [[Fan fiction|fan term]] mostly, it has been used in two official sources, the end-of-game [[bio]] for [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]], in reference to her and [[Tigatron]], in the Nintendo 64 version of the "[[Transformers: Beast Wars Transmetals (N64)|Beast Wars Transmetals]]" video game<ref>''Beast Wars Transmetals'' end-of-game bios - [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/msg/756a36c7076a7195?dmode=source transcription]</ref> and again in [[Venus (magazine)|Venus]]. In addition, [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]]'s [[Cyber Key Codes|Cyber Key Code info]] appears to refer to Transformer marriage in stating that he and [[Downshift's lifebond partner|his partner]] "joined together under the [[Covenant of Primus]]".

==Orientation==
[[Image:Gayforgalvatron.jpg|center|1000px|thumb|<center>[[Thunderblast (Decepticon)|It will forever be a shame he wasn't in ''Cybertron'']].</center>]]

The most common observation of Cybertronian romance is between a male and a [[female Transformer]]. Considering the general scarcity of female Transformers, and perhaps the absence of [[Reproduction|sexual reproduction]], this is a rather interesting if odd situation. Second to that are the number of noted relations between a Transformer and an organic, equally so almost solely between a (nominally) male and female. These become more frequent as the gender balance becomes less even, even if that is a direct result of Transformers allegedly being genderless. Third in line come "couples" that consist of a Transformer fawning over a not-living object, often regarding it as of the opposite gender.

Though not unheard of, same gender interests are extremely rare. The Japanese version of ''[[Beast Wars (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' had [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] as a male, making ''his'' relation with [[Tigatron]] the only known instance of a homosexual Transformer couple.<ref name="Airazorboy">The reason the Japanese ''Beast Wars'' dub had Airazor male was because Takara hoped to increase toy sales that way. Therefore, the relationship with [[Tigatron]] was initially played off somewhat differently to avoid complaints of homosexuality. Tigatron was presented as a samurai retainer with protective feelings towards his young ward, their closeness addressed in a "brotherly" sort of way. Despite that, there was still enough innuendo left over for the gender-bending to become noticeable. The end of the matter came with the sequence in "[[Other Visits (Part 1)]]" when Airazor and Tigatron stare into each other's eyes while holding hands and slowly leaning in for a kiss. Since little could be done with that scene, the dub team had Airazor fully "come out" and begin to express his affection for Tigatron just before the two of them were abducted by the Vok. Japanese magazine editors, responding to letters from confused young fans, gently explained that "some people are just like that".</ref> At a distance follow ''Energon'' [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Mirage]], who had the (unrequited) hots for [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]], [[Dick Gautier]]'s joking "confirmation" at [[BotCon 2002]], that [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] is gay which is most likely impossible due to his examples of heterosexual romantic encounters listed below and Generation 1 [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], who may have been gay in the [[Dreamwave Generation One continuity|Dreamwave continuity]].<ref>[http://tinyurl.com/2ugos3 Matt Moylan reveals a little secret about Sunstreaker at tfw2005.com]</ref> Transformer/organic relations are not any richer in this regard. [[Paddles (character)|Paddles]] had a clear fondness of the humans [[Randall]] and [[Ed]], and [[Magnificus (G1)|Magnificus]] and [[Ga'mede]] ''might'' have something going between them, but that's about it. A note could be made on the fair chance that Tigatron's [[beast mode]] represents a female tiger and was scanned from his partner [[Snowstalker]], yet that is speculation at best.

The real world-explanation for the overall lack of anything specific between two of the same gender is that ''Transformers'' above all exists [[to sell toys]] to children and so has to play in on the wishes and expectations of the general audience. Even if attitude is improving, [[Wikipedia:Heteronormativity|heterosexuality is still the default assumption and favoured option]]. A few same gender-relations may have appeared in fiction over time, at least the most prominent one by accident,<ref name="Airazorboy" /> but for the moment, writers still prefer to haul up Arcee or insert a new female (Transformer) to fill the romance niche than play up that sort of interaction in same gender context.

==Sex==
[[Image:KP001.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Oh, Convoy! Your shift lever is dirty," Marissa exclaims. "It must be from when I spilled soft serve ice cream on you before. I will wipe it clean for you now."<br>(''NOTE: We didn't make that up. That actually, [[canon]]ically happened.'')]]

The [[Unofficial guidebooks#Prime Targets|hints]] are few and far between, but ''Transformers'' is not devoid of the possibility Transformers might engage in sexual activities (for recreational purposes). [[Kiss]]ing is a regularly observed sign of affection and in [[The Headmasters (cartoon)|''The Headmasters'' episode]] "[[Return of the Immortal Emperor]]", [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] was rather thrilled he got to see [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] transform. Nevertheless, ''Beast Wars'' was the first to pick up the subject in a more direct manner: in the episode "[[The Agenda (Part 1)]]", [[Rattrap]] offers to take [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]] to what sounds like a Cybertronian version of a strip club, and later slyly makes a double entendre regarding Silverbolt's suspected kinky activities with [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]]. Meanwhile, the Japanese dub has Rattrap, thinking himself about to be stabbed by [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]], ask his attacker to "be gentle, because I've heard the first time can hurt."

References and innuendoes have sporadically been appearing since. ''[[Beast Wars Neo (franchise)|Beast Wars Neo]]'' featured the character [[Archadis]], who makes a sport out of coming up with double entendres. [[Scarlett]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] had a suggestive conversation about "riding" him in "[[Wolves]]", and in "[[The Art of War issue 3]]", Arcee promised Bumblebee to "rotate his tires" if he could beat her, to which he responded with a most enthusiastic "Wooo-Hooo!". In the Dreamwave issue "[[Infestation (Dreamwave)|Infestation]]", [[:Image:Infestation crotchrot.jpg|one remark from Sunstreaker]] might suggest the existence of Transformer S.T.D.'s. In the ever-questionable ''[[Kiss Players (franchise)|Kiss Players]]'' double-entendres ran rife, with one of the most disturbing involving Optimus Prime deriving pleasure from [[Marissa Faireborn]] polishing his stick shift and rubbing the rim of his gas tank, which are pretty clear metaphors for... well... y'know.

And that's about it as far as canon is concerned. If you wish to know any more on the matter of Transformer sex, go ask a random fangirl. Chances are well she has written or read a good number of [[Fan fiction|fan stories]] exploring the subject. Take note doing so will be at your own risk.

Most commonly, Transformers stick to their own kind when becoming romantically entangled. This is to be expected, as those of their own kind share the cultural and bio-technological mindset that makes their personalities more likely to be compatible. Despite the low number of female Transformers, most relations seen thus far are between a female and a male. What this means for Transformer culture - Are relations something rare? Is there programming or something that only connects a male to a female and vice versa? And if so, why does it exist? - goes unexplained.

==Transformer - organic==

Perhaps because [[reproduction]] does not seem to be a motivation for them to become romantically involved or perhaps because finding a proper partner among their own kind is not always an easy task, more than one Transformer at one point in their life made nice with an organic lifeform. However, virtually nothing is known about how the long-term cases worked out, what with physical differences such as size, [[Life cycle|lifespan and aging]], and [[Transformer#Culture|cultural differences]] - up front the constant influence of the war.

As to why organic lifeforms sometimes get head-over-heels for beings that can't fulfill the very reason they seek out partners, is another matter. In the case of humans, several authoritative works have been written on relevant aspects of their biology. Readers are advised to seek them out for further reference.

While the ability to at least exchange thoughts can explain the interest some Transformers have for beings not belonging to their own kind, that pretty much doesn't go for the interest some of them have for non-living objects. Unless the fact they often treat them as if alive has something to do with it. This is possibly not as odd as it seems: Transformers are, after all, [[Alternate mode|part object themselves]], some even having been upgraded from a mere piece of machinery. In that sense, it is perhaps harder to understand why it doesn't happen more often. Fancy that sleek piece of car? Oh, so it's one of those ''not'' talking back?
