Fiction
Marvel Comics
In 1990, the Dinobots decided to introduce Grimlock to the concept of April Fools' Day. To this end Slag sent him a computer-generated image of Shockwave challenging him to a duel in the middle of nowhere, knowing the Dinobot commander would be unable to resist. When Grimlock eventually stumbled across a Shockwave-shaped snowman, much to the merriment of two watching Predacons, he was not amused to say the least. As the other Dinobots tried to reassure themselves that Grimlock was bound to see the funny side, he was seen heading towards them with a large snowball. Snow Fun!
Notes
- Transformers-related April Fools' Day pranks are not limited to the fiction. Touted as an online preview of "Shattered Glass", "Shattered Expectations" (released on 1st April 2008) was a very well-received joke on the fandom.
