Transformers are a frequent reference in the Homestar Runner body of work. Many things are based on, and make fun of, this cartoon show and toy line.
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 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 Optimus Prime's head on its top.
- The Cheat would later repeat this to the FBI warning of strongbad_email.exe Disc Five.
