Transformers comic makes Mpreg official canon - When the worst tropes of bad fanfic are put in comics

[Koby_Fish]

IDW comics Lost Light #15 has a doozy of a concept written into it that far surpasses what many Transformers fans consider to be the "idiocy" of the concept of "Autobot Megatron". (Not all agree, but whatever.) Now, from writer James Roberts, comes something you thought you'd only see on Fanfiction.net: A pregnant Scorponok, who ends up transferring a babby to Grimlock.

But this isn't just any ordinary babby. It's organic. But it supposedly has a "spark" (a mysterious quasi-electrical orb that contains a Transformer's "soul"), too, that could be put in a metal robot body at some point. The whole thing sounds like it was written by a 15 year old, and the salt from the fans is flowing accordingly.

Spoiler: Abandon all hope, ye who click here...

One has to wonder if the writer saw the classic Schwarzenegger/Devito comedy "Junior" one too many times...

They're fucking robots, who cares? Besides, it just has the unfortunate implication of looking like a toddler drowning in the washing machine.

So, like, did the Jew autobots get put in a shady car wash instead of a group shower? Because if so, I think the self serve carwash by my office might be a war crime.

Will this be a robot butt baby, or a robot dick baby?

Also, that's a big-ass baby since it can fit in a giant robot's chest cavity and still be comparatively large in proportion to said giant robot.

Energon. Not even once.

TBH if they were "fucking robots" (in the most literal sense of the phrase), it would have made a hell of a lot more sense (though the organic part still makes no fucking sense).

Comics are dying, who gives a shit

Comics will never really die but they have lost alot of ground to manga and the genre fictions nerds like to read like the Warhammer or Star Trek books.

the IDW Transformers comics have basically been terrible fanfiction for awhile now, tbh, so I' can't say I'm surprised.

 

[Batman VS Tony Danza]

Voting Transformers late on this.

 

[The Lawgiver]

I'm pretty sure this is the plot of the latest Trailer for Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding but with robots in space instead of weird human ocean war based stuff.

Also, as previously stated, there's the whole size issue. A quick image search reveals Scorponok is usually depicted as something around the size of an entire human building and the baby is the size of his head, which means the baby is probably the size of a truck.

Is Hasbro okay with all this DA/Tumblr nonsense slopping into the comic books? Or is the comics brand so different from the toys they just don't care? I'm under the impression IDW is paying a license fee to Hasbro so maybe Hasbro doesn't have much say over these matters, dunno.

Edit: This sperg actually called Hasbro, and posted it to YouTube. Haven't listened to it all yet, and I'm not sure I will. Can't tell if the Hasbro rep is basically just making nice-nice to a sperg, or if he's genuinely shocked by what IDW is doing. The call starts at 20:19 in, if you want to jump straight to that.
