Superdeformers was a webcomic written, drawn and created by Matt Nelson. Though a fan-production, certain strips were published by 3H Productions in their various Transformers publications, thus making those strips "official" in some capacity. The comic featured cute, "Super deformed" versions of classic Transformers characters from across different franchises engaging in humorous activities.

Unlike similar webcomics, such as Lil Formers, Superdeformers stood apart by utilizing parody names for characters and staples of the Transformers franchise (Hot Rod being known as "Hot Bod", the Matrix being known as the "MacGuffix", the Autobots are renamed as "Autobahns" and the home planet of the Transformers is referred to as "Fibertron" instead of "Cybertron", etc).

Nelson cancelled the strip in 2002 and shut the site down, apparently as a result of both a cease-and-desist sent by Hasbro and server hosting issues. His strips have since been archived on his deviantART page, though all guest strips (for instance, the "They Might be Giant Robots" series by the Brothers Grinn) have been lost to the internet ether.
