Transformers references in other media

[UltraMarginal]

Transformers is probably the most violent kids' cartoon on TV! Always has been. That's what happens when your characters are robots and thus exempt from the same constraints that exist for people and animals. There's NO way they could repeatedly tear up a character like Waspinator over and over again in a regular kids' cartoon! You'd only see it in adult-oriented cartoons like South Park.

"Oh my God, they killed Waspinator!"
"You <people-born-to-unmarried-parents>!"

I agree, with one exception, TMNT. the current series is pretty violent. if there were human characters treated in the same way the Krang and other mutants were treated it would be at least MA.

In Episode 6 of the latest series of 'The Venture Brothers', Gary breaks into his old room in The Monarchs Cocoon and goes to his collectables cupboard for an item. Clearly visible on one of the shelves is an Optimus Prime (looks a bit like the 'Cybertron' version without the jetpack).

I wonder if they have permission of Hasbro to use that?

It's probably fairly easy to optimise your sales result when you're swinging an axe around.

I just finished Saints Row 4 and in the end they referenced Transformers The Movie......as well as a load of other games and movies.

In the third part of the the final mission you gain some power armour that gives you superpowers to defeat Zinyak in the real world, after opening the blast shield, The boss dives down the tunnel while 'The Touch' plays in the background.

Boss - "One Shall stand, one shall fall"
Zinyak - "Why throw your life away so recklessly, Saint?"
Boss -"That's a question you should ask yourself"

I'm sure they did. Would've only cost 'em $10,000 to do it.
