Revision as of 18:11, 4 April 2024
TheStrongestBad is a human and Transformers fan from the TFWiki portion of the Real Life continuity family.
TheStrongestBad (aka PutYaGunsOn) (July 26, 1994 - present) is a Filipino-American weeb who has had a healthy diet of Japanese robot anime and toys since childhood, so naturally, Transformers was right up his alley.
He is known on most other sites as PutYaGunsOn ("Guns" to his friends), and is active on the TFWiki Discord Server.
He also knows a lot of words in the Japanese language and can read it on a kindergarten, maybe first grade level. But he is no fluent speaker as of now.
History with Transformers
Though he had a couple of Machine Wars toys as a kid, TheStrongestBad did not remember getting them, he was probably too young to remember. The first toy he actually remembers getting was Rapid Run, which he credits for kickstarting his shift from toy trains to action figures. He eventually got more Robots in Disguise toys, completing both Omega Prime and Rail Racer.
From there, TheStrongestBad started watching the RID anime on Fox Kids.
At the same time, he learned of the existence of the Generation 1 cartoon from his parents, who would have been teenagers when it originally aired. They eventually got him the full first season on DVD box set as a gift. Amusingly, his father misidentified Megatron's infamous Walther P38 altmode as a German Lugger (sic).
He was a proud owner of the Bumblebee and Cliffjumper keychains and the Commemorative Series Optimus Prime.
Naturally, TheStrongestBad became an Armada fan and collector, finally having a Transformers show that his friends at school also watched.
He lost interest shortly after Energon came out, even though he was excited when it aired due to it being a sequel to his beloved Armada.
Renaissance and discovering this very wiki
In 2007, TheStrongestBad regained interest in the brand when a certain movie with an end credits song by his childhood favorite nu metal band came out. He discovered this very wiki that same year, learning of the existence of the Japanese G1 continuity and diving into a major rabbit hole. He has been an on-and-off fan and collector since.

Personal Canons
I love making personal canons. Despite my current hangups with the universal stream categorization system, I get a kick out of the idea that [Dimension Traveler X] who showed up in [Big name comic issue Y] was actually from [obscure one-off children's picture book from the 80s] all along, and embrace the crap out of it.
JG1 Canon
My main one is a version of the Japanese G1 canon but with American faction and character names for any characters that originated during the first three seasons and the movie of the G1 cartoon, and the Headmasters era.
Everyone who originated in Japan gets their Japanese name. So, for example, it's Lio Convoy, not Leo Prime. Even though the original Convoys went by Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal, the rank in the future of the Beast Era is Convoy. But Optimus Prime's name does change to Star Convoy when he upgrades.
It even accepts Car Robots as being of the G1 timeline, with every character keeping their Japanese names and not being new incarnations of previous characters.
As for how I make this mine, this version of the canon also incorporates a version of Hot Shot's Henkei! Henkei! origin story into it, and also fully accepts the idea that he could be the same one from Armada.
New Shell Game Canon
A universe that includes and adds to the events of the Robots in Disguise anime, while slightly reinterpreting the events of Shell Game that removes the crossover elements.
The Optimus Prime of this universe was known to be friends with the Optimus Prime of another universe.
New Shell Game
After Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus defeated Galvatron as the combined form Omega Prime, the Predacons and Decepticons were taken over by a new leader, Megazarak.
Many Autobots, including Optimus himself, would seemingly fall to the might of Megazarak and his lieutenant Toxitron, who was made from the remains of Scourge. Ultimately, only Hot Spot of the Protection team, and Ultra Trion, were left. The Matrix of Leadership would grant Hot Spot a new form with armor giving him the abilities of his fallen comrades, turning him into Defensor.
Defensor was able to rescue Optimus Prime, finding him still alive but injured. His old body damaged beyond repair, the Matrix granted Optimus Prime was given a new tanker truck-based body which ironically used the schematics of his evil copy, Scourge. In his new, sleeker, and more energy-efficient form, Laser Optimus Prime set out to defeat Megazarak.
"Megazarak must be stopped, no matter the cost."
In order to bolster their forces, Optimus Prime and Defensor found a group of Predacon protoforms and took a page from Megatron's book. They gave these protoforms new life as Maximals, who would fight for the Autobot cause with their beast modes.
In a final battle, Optimus Prime and Defensor lead a combined force of Autobots and Maximals to take down Megazarak's evil forces. Soon, Sky-Byte and an army of surviving Predacons and Decepticons would assist the Autobots and Maximals. With a final swing of his mighty laser sword as it drew power from the Matrix, Optimus Prime defeated Megazarak.
Optimus Prime would then use the combined power of Vector Sigma and the Matrix to give new life to Cybertron and its people.
Childhood Armada Canon
An ill-defined universe that is haphazardly made up of elements of the Armada anime, pack-in comics, and video game, along with my childhood play with my toys.
Story beats from the anime occur, such as meeting the kids, Hot Shot being the first to wield the Star Saber, Starscream becoming a good guy and making a big heroic sacrifice, etc. but Decepticlones also exist. The final battle is sort of a mix of the anime and the game, where Optimus Prime and Galvatron have their epic final duel on Unicron's surface after Hot Shot flies around on the Vanguard Booster and Nemesis Shield and uses the Matrix Cannon to defeat Unicron himself.
But the truth is that while Starscream was blasted by Unicron, he was saved by some otherworldly being and teleported to some other world to go do some good guy stuff. Meanwhile, Hot Shot may or may not have ended up in another universe shortly after defeating Unicron.
The Optimus Prime of this universe was known to be friends with the Optimus Prime of another universe.
Prime Wars Trilogy Canon
While I do agree that the Prime Wars Trilogy cartoon was not good, I enjoyed Power of the Primes and legitimately liked the ending. Plus, Hot Rod deserved better, so why not take it into my own hands?
This canon encompasses the following:
