Alright as I mentioned over in my WH40k thread in the games folder, I had a odd dream last night. Among one of the oddities was a cameo of the G1 Dinobots coming in to take on a Chaos Daemon (I think Khorne).
the more I thought of it the More I wondered. Could you get a good fic x-overing Transformers and Warhammer? and the more certain I became you could.
Both the autobots and Decepticons have the numbers of armies to be fairly major players among the WH40K army... although size may be a issue (which is why they invented Beast wars
)
and also plenty of there backstory, artifacts, and such could easily be adapted to the universe (Hmm would Unicron have been a C'tan, CHaos Demon, or something unique? I kind of like the idea of him being a C'tan because that makes the autobot Matrix a real threat to the NEcrons. BUt what would that make Primus?)
The most major stumbling block would be is where the hell have the Transformers (both autobot and Decepticon, and possibly Maximal and Predacons) been for past several Millienia since 20th century earth?
Well I suppose there could eb several reasons
1. they were never awakened int eh 20th century.. instead awaken on 40,000 K at some point.... although all thingss considered this is probably the worst idea of the lot..
2. Take a idea used in a B5/Transformers x-over I saw on spacebattles once (I think psyckosama wrote it not sure tho), and at some point prior to his birth or during the early youth of the Emperor the Transformers withdrew from humanity (and took their cybertronian tech with them), and its only recently that the Imperium, Tau, or Eldar stumbled across thier remote sector of hte galaxy Cybertron is in... Still a bit weak, but somewhat servicibale.
3. the Autobots detected some massive threat outside of the milkyway (The real first Tyranid invasion?) and went off to confront it so that the sentients of the Milikyway could develop and thrive ont here own... and somehow took the rest of the transformers with them to meet this threat... ONly now returning to the Milkyway to either regroup or because the threat is finally elminated (If its the main Tyranid fleet.. its to regroup, and they are ahead of the large fleets the imperium has detected closing in on the MIlkyway...)... useable, but still a bit weak into why the Decepticons, Junkians, and/or Predacons would follow the autobots to meet this threat...
4. Some third party somehow put all the transformers into some sort of stasis and there human allies near cybertron and similar planets at the time... and only now thanks to some other group (I'm partial to some Ork doing it by accident) the Stasis is broken.. releasing autobots, Decepticons, junkians, and possibly maximals and predacons into modern day 40Kverse... of a more intriguing concept would be the HUman allies of the Transformers (both good and evil) who would be released from stasis as well...
20-21st century humans take on the Imperium... the imperiums take on these 'traitors'... lots of fun story there.
I like this one the ebst... the only real stumbling block is who tricked all the transformers into a area to be put into Stasis? (Arrogant Eldar? Chaos powers? a third party? Necrons don't really work since most of them would be asleep at the time....)
best of all about option 4, you can include favorite old school Transformers with little need to explain what they've been up to the past 38,000 years or so... And favorite humans as well caught in stasis...
A interesting questiosn that can be answered.. just who or what was/is UNicron (Is unicron still alive?) a C'tan that got imprisioned somehow and lost its Necron soldiers (Hence having to create Galvatron as subsitute.) Would that mean the Autobot Matrix is a anti-C'tan weapon? Or was UNicron a imprisioned Chaos Daemon? Or soemthing unique?
How will the Autobots fit into the various space going forces of WH40k, how will the decepticons? Assuming the stasis option is used... what of the HUmans who were with the Autobots at the time of stasis?
which Transformers might eb susceptible to Chaos? On both sides...
so many possibilities.
thoughts?
