Robot-fleshling romance

2007-12-29T02:31:01Z

76.87.168.176: Changed to "Animated Armada"

Sapient alien robots and humans can be friends, once they are able to communicate with each other. There is no reason this should not be, if we are to assume the existence of sapient alien robots; beings with the ability to reflect on "life, the universe, and everything" would have a lot in common.

[[Image:Pgalove.jpg|right|thumb|[[Powerglide (G1)|PG]][[Astoria Carlton-Ritz|A]] PDA]]

One definite lack of commonality, however, is the ability to [[Reproduction|reproduce]] together. Metal robots and flesh creatures just can't have babies, no matter how hard they try. The physiology is simply not compatible. (Several authoritative works have been written on relevant aspects of human biology. Readers are advised to seek them out for further reference.) Since the urge to engage in sex is often a major contributor to romantic interest, it may seem unusual for this attraction to exist between a robot and a fleshling -- and yet, throughout Transformers fiction, such examples do exist.

To write them off as silly plot contrivances is easy. It is, however, also easy to write off large sections of the fiction as silly contrivances, which leads us down a dangerous path. Therefore we must assume that, impractical and absurd as it may be, these incompatible species must be similar enough mentally to make romantic attraction, even in the absence of sexual compatibility, possible.

A list of notable Transformer-fleshling pairs where an inter-species romance was either hinted at or outright stated, is given below.

'''''[[Generation 1 (Marvel Comics)|Marvel G1]] continuity'''''
*[[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and [[Scarlett]]
*[[Cloudburst]]'s [[Pretender]] shell identity and the [[First One]] of [[Femax]]
*[[Skids (G1)|Skids]] and [[Charlene]]
*[[Skullgrin]] and [[Carissa Carr]] in [[Monstercon from Mars!]]
*[[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] and [[Joy Meadows]]
*[[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Cindy Newell]]

'''''[[Generation 1 (cartoon)|Animated G1]] continuity'''''
*[[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] and [[Astoria Carlton-Ritz]]
*[[Seaspray (G1)|Seaspray]] and [[Alana]]
*[[Lander]] is in the middle of a date but unceremoniously ditches his partner and rushes off to save the day after he gets a call from [[Metalhawk]].

'''''[[Generation 1 (Dreamwave comic)|Dreamwave G1]] continuity'''''
*[[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and [[Marissa Faireborn#Dreamwave Comics continuity|Marissa Faireborn]]

'''''[[Armada (cartoon)|Animated Armada]] continuity'''''
*[[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] and [[Alexis]].

'''''Unconfirmed continuity'''''
*[[Glide]] is known to pick up cute human girls and give them rides on his motorcycle mode.

The 2006 [[Takara]] radio-drama/toyline [[Kiss Players]] introduced a whole line of Transformer/human pairings (that were somehow even ''more'' disturbing).

*[[Autrooper]] and [[Atari Hitotonari]].
*[[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Shao-Shao Li]].
*[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Marissa Faireborn#Kiss-Play|Marissa Faireborn]].

The fact that all of these pairings are between nominally-male robots and apparently-female fleshlings can in part be blamed on the scarcity of [[female Transformers]]. (The default assumption of heterosexuality is also part of it; the day when we have a canonical gay robot-fleshling romance in ''Transformers'' is probably still a long way off, and may be accused of [[Ruined FOREVER|ruining]] the series, like everything else.)

76.87.168.176: Got Wiki Comic Bom Bom link working

'''Manga''' are typically black and white comic books which read from right to left. They are published in Japan by various Shonen (boys) magazines, such as [[TV Magazine]] and [[Wikipedia:Comic Bom Bom|Comic Bom Bom]]. The Transformers have almost always had a consistent manga series in every line.

==Transformers manga series and specials==

===Generation 1===

*[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformer (manga)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformer]]
*[[Full Throttle Scramble Power!]]
*[[The Transformer (manga)|The Transformer]] (featuring [[Transformers 2010]] characters
*[[Transformer Big War]]
*[["Great Decisive Battle of the Beast Lifeforms"|"Great Decisive Battle of the Beast Lifeforms"]] (Transformers/[[Beastformers]] special)
*[[The Headmasters (manga)|Transformer Headmasters]]
*[[Super-God Masterforce (manga)|Transformer Super-God Masterforce]]
*[[Victory (manga)|Transformer Victory]]
*[[Zone (manga)|Transformer Zone]]
*[[Battlestars (manga)|Transformer Battlestars]]
*[[Transformer PD Type]]

====Generation 2====

*[[Generation 2 (mini-manga)|Generation 2]] (mini-manga)
*[["The Earth is in Danger"]] (Generation 2 special)

====Beast Wars====

*[[Beast Wars II (manga)|Beast Wars II]]
*[[Beast Wars Neo (manga)|Beast Wars Neo]]
*[[Beast Wars Metals (manga)|Beast Wars Metals]]

====Kiss Players====

*[[Kiss Players (manga)]] (set in 2006, between [[The Transformers: The Movie]] and 2010)

===Unicron Trilogy===

*[[Armada (manga)|Transformer Micron Legend]]
*[[Energon (manga)|Transformer Superlink]]
*[[Cybertron (manga)|Transformer Galaxy Force]]

==Continuity==

The Generation 1 manga acts as both a suppliment to the television series as well as an alternate telling, depending on the line. "Fight! Super Robot Lifeform", "2010", "Headmasters", "Zone", "Battlestars", "Generation 2", and "Kiss Players" take place in the animated universe, expanding and continuing its story.

Conversely, "Masterforce" and "Victory" are alternate tellings of the storyline and do not take place in the same animated universe.

"Headmasters" is somewhat unusual, with a relationship to the cartoon that would best be described as being similar to the relationship between the US [[Marvel Comics]] and their UK counterpart - it is a universe in which the majority of events from the animated series take place, but with some extra stories and some differences... most notably, an alternate depiction of the beginning of [[Daniel Witwicky|Daniel]] and [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]'s friendship and the presence of [[Stepper]] and [[Artfire]]. Stepper and Artfire's appearances were later [[retcon|retconed]] via toy bios to avoid contradiction, though the wackiness with Daniel and Sixshot still remain.

"Generation 2" is also a bit strange. The story pages and mini-comics by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]] take place within the confines of the animated universe, continuing the storyline after Battlestars and Operation Combination. The ''Comics Bom Bom'' manga special, "The Earth is in Danger", is a separate continuity from the Hidetsugu Yoshioka-produced works. It takes place in its own universe with the events happening in the year 199X (basically, some time in the 1990's).

The ''Beast Wars'' mangas are all alternate timelines from the television series, although the events of Season 1 of Beast Wars took place in the Beast Wars Metals Manga.

Gigantion

2007-11-20T06:48:22Z

76.87.168.176: Tried putting "known Gigantion residents" under the "Japanese name: Gigalonia" but don't know the correct formatting

:''Gigantion is a planet in the [[Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] continuity family.''

[[Image:PlanetGigantion.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Despite its Saturn-like appearance, Gigantion was only a gas giant on energon taco night.]]
[[Image:Cyber Key symbol Gigantion.png|right|thumb|150px|The symbol on Gigantion's [[Cyber Planet Key|Cyber Keys]].]]

'''Gigantion''' is not the kind of place the [[Oracle]] would appreciate, but it's a nice, cozy home for a robot. The planet is a huge machine world, a vast analogue of [[Cybertron]], but constructed mostly by its inhabitants. These Cybertronians, whose descendants have grown to tremendous size, settled on an [[Earth]]-like, rocky, organic-covered planet, and built their cities on it. As their skills increased, they continually rebuilt these settlements right on top the old ones, until the planet was completely enveloped in a vast series of constructed layers, complete with artificial foliage, simulated skies and day/night cycles - but at its heart, the original planet remains, well-preserved and even supplied with artificial light, but forgotten.

The titanic Transformers of Gigantion, large and powerful, are fortunately not much given to violence and warfare. Most are gentle and peaceful, desiring only to hone their skills and build ever grander structures. They work closely with the small [[Mini-Con]] Transformers, who can tackle the delicate tasks too refined for the heavy manipulators of their [[bulk]] comrades.

The dominant language of Gigantion is practically identical to a Scottish dialect of the English tongue. The Mini-Cons beep with a Scottish accent, no doubt. At the time the planet was re-discovered, it was led by the gigantic [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]].

According to Gigantian tradition, old cities are to be left alone. The population constantly moves to unbuilt areas, constructing new cities, never returning to the old ones. They even go so far as to dump the data on those old cities from their computers. Why this custom came about is lost to time, but it's tradition, and if you stopped doing traditional things just because they make no sense, then really, what's ''wrong'' with you?

The planet is surrounded not just by a ring, but by a debris field made up of the detritus of ancient building projects...and probably bits of a long-gone planet.

===Cybertron cartoon continuity===
====Ancient history====
[[Image:Gigantion-Ancient.jpg|left|thumb|Teeny Gigantion, as it was before it got wormholed.]]

Gigantion was plotted out as one of the four worlds to serve as a focal point for the galaxy-spanning [[Space Bridge]] project. The starship ''[[Lemuria]]'' was sent to the planet, along with a [[Cyber Planet Key]], but like the other colony worlds, was lost to time.

''Unlike'' the other worlds, this one got even ''more'' lost, as at some point in the planet's ancient history, after the original colonists arrived, the entire system was sucked into a wormhole, transporting it to an alternate universe. {{storylink|Balance}} For a time, the only way to reach this new universe was from a tunnel in time and space in the [[Skeleton Nebula]], which was only open for a few days every year...though other methods have since been found. {{storylink|Warp}}

There, the planet ran afoul of [[Planet X]], whose warlike inhabitants wished to consume the world for its rich energy supplies and raw materials. The Gigantians turned to the power of the Cyber Planet Key, which caused both the planet and its inhabitants (save the Mini-Cons, of course) to grow to massive size, allowing them to fight Planet X to a standstill. When Planet X was detonated by one of its own malfunctioning weapons, peace returned, and the inhabitants of Gigantion went back to their jobs. Tales of the war were eventually lost to the centuries, being little more than rumor and myth to its modern inhabitants. {{storylink|Challenge}}

:''('''Note''': The whole Planet X/Gigantion sequence of events is a bit on the questionable side. There's not a lot of frame of reference given for the events told, but what visual and audio clues '''are''' given point to the sequence of events told above being '''probably''' how it all went down.)''

==Trivia==
* The original idea for Gigantion involved colossal [[Junkion]]-like scrap-robots, according to [[Aaron Archer]] at [[BotCon 2006]].

* The reason for Gigantion's endless build-cycle is never actually addressed in the show. Again according to Mister Archer, this time from [[BotCon 2005]], the reason is that Gigantion was supposed to become the hub of the galaxy-spanning [[Space Bridge]] network, so they were building to accommodate the millions of Transformers that would soon populate and pass through the world - however, the idea of them continuing to build for a project that had ended in disaster centuries before makes just as little sense as what was portrayed on the show.

* According to ''Cybertron'' dub-writer [[David McDermott]], the Gigantions' Scottish accent was inspired by the "greatest sci-fi engineer" of all time, "Scotty" from [[wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek]].

Cyber Planet Key

2007-11-20T06:37:31Z

76.87.168.176: Added Gigation's link brackets

:''Cyber Planet Keys are cosmic technology found in the ''[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] continuity family.''

Eons ago, four '''Cyber Planet Keys''' were scattered across the universe on various planets. Each Key is a portion of [[Primus]]' [[Spark|lifeforce]], and if gathered together and plugged into the [[Omega Lock]], they can be used to awaken and restore him.

''Japanese name:'' '''Planet Force'''

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====''Cybertron''====
The four Cyber Planet keys were gifts from [[Primus]] to his creations. Created during the age following the first defeat of [[Unicron]], the goal of the keys was to spread Primus' essence to other fledgling planets and reformat them in a way that would create new Transformer life forms. The purpose of this was to possibly equip and protect the expanding universe from the threat of Unicron.

During the transportation of the keys to the four discovered planets (Earth, Gigantion, Velocitron, and Jungle Planet), it was decided that a space bridge would need to be constructed to connect these worlds as one. During this operation, the prototype space bridge technology failed. The planets were cut off, leaving the various colonies stranded on their new homeworlds.

As time progressed, the keys influenced the evolution of the various planets, breeding different types of Transformer-based lifeforms. So much time has passed, the Transformers on these various planets have no knowledge of [[Cybertron]], outside of legends told.

'''Earth:''' The [[Earth]] Cyber Planet Key is blue and contains the image of a sun peeking from behind the shape of the earth. The colony which brought the Planet Key to Earth was also trusted with the [[Omega Lock]].

'''The Jungle Planet:''' The Key on [[Jungle Planet]] eventually took the form of a statue resembling a dragon. The Jungle Cyber Planet Key is green with a clawed paw-print.

'''Velocitron:''' The key on [[Velocitron]] was eventually hidden in the form of a trophy for the [[Planet Cup]] race, which also dictates the planet's leader. The Speed Planet Cyber Key is red and contains a symbol resembling a speedometer needle.

'''Gigantion:''' [[Gigantion]]'s key was hidden in the starship ''[[Lemuria]]'', which rested in the center of the planet (the original world on which the other layers were built). The Cyber Planet Key of this world is purple and contains the image of a cog wheel.

'''Cybertron:''' Cybertron itself does not contain its own Cyber Planet Key, but instead draws power directly from Primus, who resides within the giant metallic homeworld. The Cyber Key of Primus is clear with an Autobot or Decepticon logo.

'''Planet X:''' While not a planet connected to the space bridge project, the agents of [[Planet X]] are empowered by the essence of Unicron and have the ability to summon forth their own Cyber Keys, appearing orange with a Decepticon logo.

'''Unique Keys:''' There are keys within the story that do not resemble any Cyber Planet Key host. The only known examples are those held by [[Vector Prime]], [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]].

Each of the four keys were eventually recovered by the Autobots, and once combined with the [[Omega Lock]], returned power to Primus. Primus quickly sprang into action and sealed the [[Unicron Singularity]], using the [[Ark (Cybertron)|Ark]]'s massive cannon.

After the Singularity was sealed and Galvatron was seemingly defeated forever, a new project was embarked upon which would lead to the four Keys being transported to new planets, creating an even larger Space Bridge than originally intended.

==Toys==
===Cybertron===
Just about every single toy came with at least one key, the only real exceptions being the Mini-Cons. In the US, the keys had [[Cyber Key Codes|codes printed on the back]] for an interactive feature on Hasbro’s Transformers toy website. Takara’s website did not incorporate this feature however, leaving the Japanese ''Galaxy Force'' keys (referred to in ''Galaxy Force'' as "Force Chips" along with the greater "Planet Force") without the code tampo. Later toys featured unique keys, particularly the BotCon exclusive ''Timelines'' promo toys, which came with Golden Disk Keys.

Jungle Planet (colony)

2007-11-20T06:36:08Z

76.87.168.176: Added "Japanese name: Animatros" and "known Jungle Planet residents"

{{disambig2|the planet from Cybertron|the planet from Energon|Jungle Planet (Energon)}}
{{disambig3|Beast}}

:''Jungle Planet is a [[planet]] in the [[Cybertron (franchise)|''Cybertron'']] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] continuity family.''

[[Image:Jungle_planet_from_space.jpg|right|thumb|200px|"You should get the croix de guerre; remember it's a jungle out there."]]

'''Jungle Planet''' (sometimes referred to as the '''Beast Planet''', not to be confused with [[Beest|Planet Beest]]) is the simple and beautifully appropriate name for a lush and violent world covered in dense wilderness. Its surface is wrapped in tangled webs of foliage, some of it allegedly techno-organic, and vast, little-travelled oceans. The light of day is harsh and scorching; the rains are torrential downpours. Volcanoes rise above the green canopy, usually slumbering in smoky menace, sometimes bursting forth with firestorms of destruction.

Within the shadows of the enveloping jungle, strange beasts prowl; but not all these are of flesh and blood, for in ancient times the Jungle Planet became home to strange beings. They emigrated from the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]; they were [[Transformer|Transformers]], and quickly altered their forms to suit their new home. They prowl the Jungle Planet, and dwell in its caves and rough structures; robotic beasts of fearsome power.

Only the mightiest may rule this planet, where strength and teeth are the only laws. At the time of the hunt for the [[Cyber Planet Key|Cyber Planet Keys]], this was the great and terrible [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]], a ruthless despot who feared none but himself.

:''Japanese Name:'' '''Animatros'''

===Known Jungle Planet residents===

* [[Scourge (Cybertron)|Scourge]]
* [[Backstop]]
* [[Snarl (Cybertron)|Snarl]]
* [[Undermine]]
* [[Brimstone]]

Notable areas of the Jungle Planet include...

* The [[Jungle Temple]], home of the planet's leader. In reality, it is the starship ''[[Hyperborea]]''.

* The [[Steel Shard Mountains]] and its surrounding swampland.
