Transformers are frequently referenced in the Homestar Runner body of work. Various characters will often parody the toys, and the Cheat Commandos show has numerous similarities to the cartoon.
References
- In the Cheat Commandos, Crackotage speaks in rhyme. This resembles the Transformers character Blaster.
- Also in the Cheat Commandos, Fightgar has a British accent which resembles that of Wreck-Gar, a Transformers character. The two characters also have similar names.
- At the Alamo Drafthouse where The Brothers Chaps toured, Homestar said that he needed the Autobot Matrix.
- In The Cheatar, Strong Bad imitates the Transformers' transformation noise when talking about The Cheat turning into a guitar. He also says, "why would you want change into a giant guitar when you could change into a semi or at least a cassette player." This is a reference to Optimus Prime, Blaster and Soundwave.
- In the Strong Bad Email portrait, The Cheat vandalizes Strong Bad's painting by spray painting the "Rad, Rad Robotank" on it. The Rad, Rad Robotank has what appears to be a Transformer's head on its top.
