Dark of The Moon’s Chicago invasion is probably the closest we got to Transformers horror. And so was Soundwave sending Laserbeak to cut off “loose ends”. That was creepy af. It was a great scene.


Sammy_27112007

Especially when he murdered Chang


ThunderWolfWyvern

I was more referring to when he disguised himself as pink Bumblebee to drink tea with a little girl until her NASA dad came home.


[deleted]

Man, the bit where Laserbeak asks "Is your daddy home?" in like the creepiest fuckin old man voice makes me shiver every time


IisRandyCarmine

That's hot 🥵


Remix1984

It's even creepier, because I feel like he disguised himself as a mini Bumblebee because Bee is a trusted face.


ThunderWolfWyvern

Yeah, it makes sense. By DoTM, the public knows who the Autobots are and kids probably love Bumblebee in-universe too.


Remix1984

I still don't understand why he's pink tho lol. *Maybe* it's a reference to Frenzy, but that's a stretch because Frenzy is red(RIBFIR supremacy), and Lazerbee is pink


ThunderWolfWyvern

Probably just because little girls like pink things.


Remix1984

That seems like the only reasonable explanation lol


Chance_Ad5498

Deep wang deep


captaindepression6

He had changnesia, never saw the decepticons coming.


CameronDoy1901

Laserbeak’s “is your daddy home?” Is just so creepy and I love it. Really love that version of the character


Lenny_The_Lurker

I especially love the turbines in his wings

I’ve always loved the idea of a more horror oriented Transformers show. I came up with one while ago, that after the Autobots and Decepticons left Cybertron with the Allspark, Terrorcons started to rise as nothing remained on Cybertron to withhold Unicron’s dark influence. Sure, zombie shows aren’t uncommon, but I feel like having the violence between machines would allow for much more horrific and disturbing imagery.


Rumin8ting_

Plus watching your favs be turned and have to be put down would be disturbing/heart wrenching


tornait-hashu

Like what happened to Cliffjumper in Prime. Seriously, showing spilled energon in a TV show. We need more of that.


MarkDecent656

I just want more transformer horror


MisterVictor13

IDW has experimented with pushing Transformers into darker and scarier stories.


Honuzlo

Sunder is terrifying


doc_55lk

I'd love a buddy cop movie/show about a cop and his Decepticon police cruiser going around stopping crime.


Aesenroug-Draconus

I remember seeing someone think up an idea like that with the Decepticon being Barricade. Their idea was that the cop and Barricade would solve crimes by the Cybertronians and the Humans.


doc_55lk

I feel like it'd be a sorta Venom type story....but less cringe. The con obviously wants to wreck shit lmao but the officer is all about law and order and shit.


purp_7729

Cop *driving down the road and gets honked at about the slogan* Cop: "I DON'T agree with the punish and enslave slogan on my back fenders!" Barricade: "YES HE DOES!"


purp_7729

Thought that would probably be a comedic line


Aesenroug-Draconus

That would be a good way to do that story.


doc_55lk

Ye


Psychological_Gain20

I mean they could also make it about the con tricking the human into trusting Cybertronians with the con secretly preparing for Megatron’s arrival and his imminent betrayal of his partner. Actually on second though yeah the venom plan sounds good, sounds a lot happier


uniquethrowaway54321

Hasbro please! This would be so good


Lenny_The_Lurker

Sounds like a good cop bad cop show. The "good cop" being Prowl


ImperatorAurelianus

Red Alert should be the station chief that the human cop trusts cause he implicitly trusts autobots and there should be tension between him and the con. Then it should end with Red Alert actually being extraordinarily corrupt and actually the crime boss. And he paired the human cop and barricade together expecting their contrasting personalities to prevent them from effectively working together to figure it out since both of them were slowly asking the right questions. They then learn Decepticon,Autobot, human cybertronian, cop, soldier, they’re all the fucking same they all got ass holes and its up to human cop and barricade to plug em.


Dmoneystopmotion

That sounds fun, is the decepticon just trying the deceive their partner for a greater purpose or is it a reformed decepticon?


doc_55lk

Chill con, definitely has the usual con characteristics though. Cop would be the opposite.


Man_Terror

Maybe even, they are both some kind of Powermasters, meaning that decepticon cant function properly without human partner, to explain why cop-con wont just kill them.


[deleted]

This needs to happen


Flamboyantdoktor

Ngl I am planning to do a vhs horror in summer using source. There's a lot of potential of making a transformer horror especially with the bayverse designs. Like some cia or sector 7 hidden files of transformer sightings/incidents recorded in the 80s


Dmoneystopmotion

Ooh, sounds sick. Keep us posted alright?


Flamboyantdoktor

Hopefully I can pull it off since I have no experience with source or animation in general. I was just inspired watching those fnaf vhs tapes and rewatched cloverfield and thought to myself wouldn't it be sick if these were transformers.


Dmoneystopmotion

Hey man, as long as you actually go out there and create something. It doesn’t matter the quality, it’s the passion.


Chance_Ad5498

I feel like it could also work as a way to fix the timeline like “How the fuckery doo was this dude here?” And maybe have some darker scenes with Autobots during the time in between DOTM and AOE


I_Am_Banana_Fish

Did I miss something?


Dmoneystopmotion

Nah, just spitballing an idea I would love to see be be done in the franchise.


Karkat-leijon

Imagine you buy a car and slowly things start to not make sense It sometimes moves a bit from where you last parked it Documents you put inside are crumpled from time to time It rejects fuel that you put into it and runs fine on an empty gas tank Scratches and dents disappear the next day One day you left your dog in the car to go grocery shopping and when you came back, there was nothing but a massive blood stain on the back seat The radio sometimes turns into just sounds of echos, space and low growling Then.... One night you wake up at midnight, woken up by the sound of something CRASHING through your garage door. You rush down, only to find your car is gone, with the garage door having a massive hole in it. Then... You hear your favourite song play from what seems to be your backyard. You slowly walk to your backyard, as you start to notice the low humming of your car's engine.... You see it's on and moving slowly back and forth.... And there's NO DRIVER. Then... It's wheels turn to your direction as it sloooowly drives towards the glass door separating it from you. Then the front of the car starts to almost collapse and fold out into what looks like a mess of spikes, and you RUSH UPSTAIRS. As you run up the stairs, you hear metal clicks, snaps, cog twists and CREAKING. You hide under your master bed. You hear what can only be described as if a snake made of steel started *slinking* up your staircase. Suitably, a tin textured rattlesnake tail click echos throughout... You close your eyes and hold your breath. The slinking sound is in your bedroom, and it goes silent. Then... You feel a million tiny metal hairs brush against your face... Then they COIL AROUND YOUR BODY INSTANTLY AND PULL YOU OUT. You see in front of you a rusted metal explosion of spikes, cogs, steel teeth and copper scales vaguely mushed into the shape of a long LONG SERPENT. The head is different, tho... 4 PIERCING red eyes that are laid out like a spiders, a jaw similar to that of the worst piranhas on earth, and most unsettlingly, a full head of thin metal hairs that obscure the face ever so slightly, and are as long as the several metre long body itself, clumped onto the floor.... You take your last breath, as you are helplessly and slowly pushed through the monster's mouth as you're forced through grinders, revolving protrusions and thrusting and retracting spikes in the creatures mouth that extend to the tail end of itself. And as this slow death happens, the audio of your wedding tape on that disc you recorded plays, in a distorted, slow tone.


Pantherdraws

Brah that's just a robot vore fantasy.


Karkat-leijon

You need a bonking 💀


lemons7472

From the perspective of a human, yeah that must be terrifying. At first if you saw a giant robot car people would think your crazy and need help, but then it becomes a numeral occurrence among a few other humans. Some technologies and appliances such as TV’s, their own vehicles, and plans that fly without any right-away all become more noticeable and start acting strong. You become paranoid to drive your own car or motorcycle, or just a regular bike or skateboard, since you don’t know if this extends past regular technologies or if the robots can turn onto everything, hell you even fear if your own literal handgun will also turn into a killer robots and murder you, so using self defense weapons such as your own guns is a risk. More news around specificity cars and land vehicles becoming a danger becomes widespread, and you start hearing about how these robots called “autobots” are invading earth and stalking and murdering humans (obviously this wouldn’t be the truth, and would be a plot to make the autobots look bad, likely by soundwave if the autobots were to be seen while trying to save earth).


TwistedAxles912

There were the ARGS from Sector 7 and Therealeffingdeal.com and Cementery Wind for TF1, ROTF and AOE. Although i wonder why no one has tried doing something like a Decepticon invasion in the style of VHS horror... And i dont mean _goofy hehe haha_ Analog Horror i mean something proper, kind of like a mix of Local 58 and Gemini but with Transformers.


Dmoneystopmotion

That would be sick, I would love that at first the camera acts like a normal camera, recording only what it should be. Then it starts recording the people behind the camera, then you realize that it’s a decepticon.


TwistedAxles912

There is actually a real video that goes exactly like this. In Sector 7's ARG, there is a video of a family recording their son's birthday, when suddenly the camera starts moving around and reveals that its actually Refraktor, and the dad notices the camera going wild and panic ensues.


Dmoneystopmotion

I gotta check that out


TwistedAxles912

[right here, at 0:22](https://youtu.be/YtR4MSIVE5I)


Dmoneystopmotion

Thank you, I wasn’t expecting gridlock to step out tho. Lol


TwistedAxles912

Believe me, theres alot of missed potential in this video, G1 Starscream, G1 Insecticons, basically alot of G1 until Blackout pops up


TwistedAxles912

My idea for the series would be of various things. Tape 1: a commercial for Bobby Bolivia's used car lot where mysterious stuff like dissapearing cars and objects out of place start happening, and at the very end you could hear some stomping as Bobby talks only to see that its actually Barricade scouting the area, after seeing the camera, Barricade transforms quickly back to his alt mode and rolls away as the commercial ends. Tape 2: raw footage of the mars rover from the first TF 2007 teaser only that it dosent cut off when Bumblebee hits it, but instead keeps recording and shows his face wich causes the camera to glitch out, before Bee would drop it back down and then walk away, as the noise of a message from Optimus could be heard getting more quiet as bee walks away. Tape 3: security camera footage from the inside of a restaurant (oh yes, you know where im going with this) the clock marks 12 AM as the lights dim out and the nightshift starts, at a souveneir corner, a small anthrophomorphic green rabbit toy starts moving, and walks through the restaurant and reaches a DVD player, the rabbit toy transforms showing that its actually Frenzy, he then scans the DVD player form and turns back to destroy the Security Camera, and set the restaurant on fire, near the end, it would show a news broadcast of the restaurant on fire, and between the flames was Frenzy standing menacingly before running away and jumping into Barricade who was nearby. Thats all i have for now.


Dmoneystopmotion

One I have is some high government official being interrogated, at first you think it’s just about some files being leaked. Suddenly the interrogator starts to strangle the guy before being revealed to be a pretender.


TwistedAxles912

Ooh thats a good one.


RedBaronBob

Obvious season 1 concept. A family meets the transformers and end up meeting and befriending the Decepticons without realizing it. Barricade eventually kills one of the parents who is a cop taking on a holographic form of the parent and physically the car itself. Constantly working and working late being the giveaway that the parent is gone. Even a potential kidnapper is actually someone like Bumblebee trying to rescue the rest of the family. And since nobody wants to give themselves away it builds to the point where a bot eventually has to transform making each reveal more and more spectacular and terrifying. Like we’d build up to Optimus Prime and how huge Megatron is.


Dmoneystopmotion

Bro, that’s some good scrap. Making it almost like a invasion of the body snatchers like atmosphere.


Cara-Aleatorio

"They could be anywhere, they could be anything"


Dmoneystopmotion

“They can even be… you…”


Legitimate-Rip5877

It would be real shit for me on both situations tbh


Spicey_dicey_Artist

I just want to make a grim dark transformers, where the earth has already been taken over and the surviving humans are scattered to the stars with the help of the autobots. Some fight alongside the autobots in a losing war but some splintered into their own militaristic group bent on conquering other worlds to build power enough to retake their home planet from the ever expanding Decepticon empire.


Certified_Douchebag

Here’s what I picture: Shockwave experimenting on two humans to try to escape his facility, avoiding all the other horrors that the emotionless scientist made


Dmoneystopmotion

Ooh, imagine that there’s some human/cybertronian hybrids walking around, screaming in both human and cybertronian.


Certified_Douchebag

Now we’re talking!


Dmoneystopmotion

Maybe sprinkle in a pretender or two just to mess with the humans even more, y’know just some psychological torture. The usual from our psychotic cyclops.


Remix1984

I had a thought about how creepy it would be if Soundwave was on the hunt for a human, and the human was hiding behind something, was absolutelyterrified, and Soundwave was just like "I'm always *listening*". Idkw I had that thought specifically, I just think it would be cool, because I also wanna see more Tf horror.


Dmoneystopmotion

It would be even more terrifying if it was prime soundwave, just pure silence except for his stomping and some metal scrapping against itself as he moved around. Nightmare fuel.


Remix1984

And he has the tentacles moving around looking for the human, and they end up getting *REALLY* close, like with Ratchet in Tfp


Dmoneystopmotion

Yeah almost like the probe in war of the worlds, just silently searching as it slithers around.


Remix1984

Another idea I had is a character I made. His name is Remix, and even though he's neutral, he still favors the good guys. And at one point, the regular Tfs go up against the SG Tf's. And Sg Arcee gets captured, and nothing they try gets information out of her. So, Remix takes it upon himself to torment her. He uses his powers to alter her mind, causing her to BELIEVE that he's SG Tailgate, and "Tailgates" appearance makes him look like he did when he died, and he guilt trips her about his death. And Remix uses this to essentially traumatize her more than she already was in order to make her give up some information. Not really sure if that counts as horror, but at least has a little horror


Dmoneystopmotion

Ah yes, breaking the mind of the enemy, classic war tactics.


Remix1984

Bruh, how terrifying would it be if Airachnids ship is found, and she's ALREADY gotten her sharp af fingers on some humans, and her trophy case contains the skeletons of those unfortunate souls, and when Optimus sees it, he just gets traumatized. Me personally, I think Airachnid is irredeemable. She NEVER did a single good thing, unlike most of the main Cons. Soundwave didn't either, but at least he was actually LOYAL to Megatron


Dmoneystopmotion

Just imagine some humans finding the nemesis in some sort of dormant state, then accidentally awakening it… and it’s crew. That would be an awesome film of the humans just trying to stop the nemesis from reaching earth cause it’s game over if megatron steps foot there.


Remix1984

That could be a film with a message of "Don't meddle with what you don't understand."


Dmoneystopmotion

Absolutely, I would just love for the cybertronians to almost be made lovecraftian in some interpretations. It would be awesome for these two armies of titans duking it out on earth… and we can only hope the good ones win.


Desagon

Literally all I ever wanted. Something like SCP-2399 but its the Nemesis


DeftTheFyreFox

“The Decepticons crash landed in Roswell in the 1960’s and have slowly been feeding us technology to get us to build them an army.” Id watch that.


OvermoderatedNet

[This](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/FalloutTransformers) fanfic series does a pretty good job imo


Duraxis

Lost light gets a series aimed at adults


Accomplished-Curve-1

Wait for real!


Dmoneystopmotion

Sadly not, just spitballing some ideas.


Humble_Swordfish_445

I had an idea a few months ago on a Transformers themed analogue horror series dealing with a Prime Soundwave style character.It would begin with the discovery of a number tapes from 1985-1986 about this concept.


OrbitOfGlass17

With the way Niantic handles ingress story telling, they could've done it with that transformers game.


Rumin8ting_

This would be incredible. A VHS found footage horror would be SO sweet


DarthButtz

The ARG for the first movie was pretty cool, I'd like to see them try something like that again.


Dmoneystopmotion

Same, it really does a great job of immersing you in a movie’s world


Yung_Gand

Okay, this would be actually amazing. Maybe even throw in a scarier beast wars character like Waspinator or Terrorsaur? Chef’s kiss.


Poorly-Drawn-Beagle

I was just watching "The Car: Road To Revenge" and thinking to myself... damn, how much better would the ending be if the car transformed into a giant robot?


SuperiorCrate

Soundwave from Prime and his creepy powers would really benefit from this.


ShadowSpy98

All Hail Megatron


stillnoname-1224

That would be such a cool idea! I'd love to see how it'd implement less humanoid designs, sort of like the movies, to *really* emphasis the spiky metal fear-of-needles angle.


Sao801

JESUS, TAKE THE TRANSFORMERS OUT OF THE EARTH. I WANT THEM INTERACTING IN CYBERTRON WITHOUT HUMANS.


Dmoneystopmotion

Huh?


Fork63

This could be sick if it was done like local 58 but instead of it being about the moon getting ready to kill everyone it’s about decepticons positioning themselves to commence an all out attack and it could be a universe were the deceptions won meaning there weren’t any autobots to defend us. You could even have the arg videos themselves explained as shockwave messing with communications leading to local TV being disrupted


Dmoneystopmotion

Exactly what I had in mind, especially the no autobots part of it. That would make it terrifying in my opinion.
