Spoilered link for NSFW mind screw...no pun intended.

I saw this while looking for pics of recolored versions of the main BW cast for my Shattered Glass project, and I...dunno what to think of it. I think my childhood has died. I think Beast Wars has been Ruined FOREVER for me. I'm staring to think the "Trukk not Munky" guys were right. Just...what the hell?

And, before you ask, yes, according to the wiki I found this on, that IS the actual Dinobot model modified by Mainframe to look like that. Why? Megatron was getting lonely, I dunno. Just...gods, that's creepy.

Yes, this exists.

So does The Beast Within, and that's honestly ten times worse than some Mainframe animators making a dirty joke. Seriously. 'Dinobot combiner.' Bad idea, worse execution.

Really, though, this is nothing. A humourously perverted image and nothing more. I've seen worse fanart.

Someone thought it'd be funny to send me Power Pack Rule 34 the one time. That was so much worse.

Well, fans of Power Pack don't bring in those pics for the creators to sign at comic conventions. I've heard quite a few instances where Scott McNeil DID sign this pic for fans. That disturbing enough for you?

No, I'm pretty sure the Power Pack thing is always gonna be worse. If I was Scott McNeil, I'd have signed the Dinobot pics, too. And laughed.

I think I can nail down "Why?", too. Or at least I can take a stab at it. Animators (and cartoonists) are a notoriously fiendish and perverse lot, made even more so by the repetitive, day in-and-out nature of their tasks. Even more so during the rise of the artform, when every frame was drawn by hand (maybe not every one, but you get the general thrust of what I'm saying). So to relieve the stiffness of this daily grind, the animators would take to drawing, say, one frame of a "Betty Boop" cartoon with the title character topless. Or just drawing Tijijuana Bibles, but we needn't probe into that world. My point, without further beating around the bush, is that animators (and artists of all sorts, really), have dirty minds and this is what happens when they get bored.

Ahahahahahahahahaha...aah ha ha ha...ha. Ha.

*Ahem*

On-topic (such as it is) I stumbled across this pic on the TFWiki a while back, and thought it was pretty funny. I dunno, somehow say, fangirls on DevArt drawing Dinobot and Rattrap getting it on is something that I find irritating and sanity-questioning, but when something like this is done by the animators themselves, I can't help but see the humor. It's like "Well damn, they certainly don't take offense, so how could I?".

This sounds, in all honestly, like something I would do. And knowing Scott McNeil, that crazy cowboy probably does find it hilarious.

Slash-fic is one of the worst trends one can find on-line. Sophmoric jokes aside, what is the appeal of Harry Potter and Severus Snape having sex? No, really. Prowl?

What? Didn't you read the books? That is *totally* the way their relationship is presented! Harry and Snape are obviously a couple, those fanfic writers are just showing the natural progression of that relationship!

Seriously, that's how most of these people think.

What?

[Dominic]

Nobody, save perhaps for your own troubled sense of right and wrong, said anything.

-almost wants to write that parody "Hermione/House Elf Gangbang" story.

[SynjoDeonecros]

As I would like to say, those who "rape the childhoods" of a franchise honestly don't; they're just picking up on and pointing out the obvious innuendo that the creators themselves have presented in there.

Take the whole Professor Lupin/Sirius Black thing; canonically, they're both straight, and the former married Nymphadora Tonks (yeah, that's not a perverted name a tall, is it?) after the latter's death. However, for all intents and purposes, their relationship with each other is played out as if they were gay lovers. The innuendo in their interactions is so blatant, you can't blame the fans for shipping them together. It may not be canon, and, as such, it may be stupid of them to do so, but in this case, author intent be damned; if Rowling didn't want them to be mistaken as a gay couple, then she shouldn't have portrayed their relationship as that of a gay couple.

Same thing with Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails; the latter is sweet, innocent, completely inappropriate for any sort of romantic relationship with anyone, but just look at his relationship with Sonic - he follows the hedgehog around ever since he met the guy, fawns over him as someone he wants to be like, dedicates a good deal of time to making him happy, and not only does Sonic tolerate this, Tails seems to be the only character he spends the most time with, AND we've seen him be adverse to the advances of women (specifically Amy Rose...which, considering her skills with that mallet, is no surprise). Canonically, there's no basis for all of the shipping between them, save for the mounds of innuendo in their relationship. But that's all the fans need to form that shipping on.

All shipping is, in any capacity, is fan interpretation of the characters and their actions as we're presented with them. There's really no reason to call it bad; I'm betting everyone here has shipped unlikely characters of some franchise at some point in their lives.
