The Energon Pub

My question is how would a it play out if the transformers landed on earth when the bombs fell during the great war in the fallout universe, like who would the & side with? I fell the Cons would side with the enclave or the BOS and the bots would side with the NCR or Minutemen. What's everyone's idea on this scenario? (Nuka-Cola Optimus Prime = Best idea ever)

My idea is they wake up from the Arc at the start of Fallout 3.

TBH I've had the same idea and I think it could be decent if executed well enough. I could picture the Brotherhood maybe working with the Autobots for a while too even. I wonder if they would adopt Earth's vehicle modes even though a majority of them are broken down or if they would keep their Cybertronian modes.

I think the BoS would be hardcore anti-bot. Given their philosophy of strictly controlling technology to safeguard humanity's future, alien robots would apall them. Not saying a good writer couldn't make it work, though. If you went with IDWs subplot about Bots and Cons having laws against spreading Cybertronian tech to other civilizations, I could see an extremely angsty, tenuous alliance. Basically replay the Ultra Magnus vs Scorponok plot from years ago, but have Scorponok getting in bed with the Institute (which is completely believable) and Magnus hesitantly teaming up with BoS LRRP to bring him in.

Plus, Magnus has power armor and a big@$$ gun, so he's totally the most BoS Transformer out there.


Edit: ALSO, given that Fall Out happens cose to 300 years after G1 season 1, it seems almost criminal to pass up the opportunity to make it a Beast Wars crossover. The timelines line up pretty close with the Maximals being in charge of Cybertron 'three centuries' after the end of the Great War, the irradiated wasteland is a good match to the unstable Energon that forced the Maximals and Predacons to adopt beast forms, and a Deathclaw is a much cooler alternate mode than a veribird.

TFs hack any machines in Fallout and win.
