It has been an absolute bear of a month, and I am super delayed with posting, but here's hoping I can rec something you'll like! First up, though, the fandom overview.

Everyone--and I mean
everyone--knows a little bit about the Transformers. They're giant alien robots that transform into cars, planes, weapons, animal forms or other functional machines. They started out as a line of toys in the late 1970s-early 1980s, and to help market it, a cartoon series was created by Hasbro. Nearly 30 years later, the robot toys have spawned a
lot of animated series, movies, comic books, videogames, and ever more toy lines.
The fandom is unique in that multiple continuities are pretty much accepted as canon somewhere in the Transformers multiverse. You will see several codes (G1/G2, DW, IDW, BW, SG, etc), which I will identify when they come up.
I do not claim in depth knowledge of the fandom, but
( have a little basic info behind the cut. )ETA 12/29/09: added fandom concepts section, as I realized my brief overview was too brief.
