History Fanfic / TransformersPrimeSeason3

* ContinuitySnarl: During the prequel story, Jack tells Arcee that she has no idea what it's like losing someone close to you when discussing his deceased uncle. Arcee seems to concede the point, despite ''Prime'' making it very obvious that she still hasn't got over the deaths of Cliffjumper and Tailgate.

* {{Crossover}}: In addition to the canon characters from Prime and several {{Original Character}}s, [[Film/{{Transformers}} Sam Witwicky]], [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Sari Sumdac]] and [[Manga/GunslingerGirl Elsa de Sica]] are major characters in this story.
* DisappearedDad: John Darby, Jack's dad, [[TheGhost who never showed up in canon]], shows up here. it's revealed his brother, Jack's uncle, was killed in a terror attack, and that he's been trying to find out who caused the attack ever since, and eventually just disappeared. [[spoiler:He ended up joining the [[Anime/GunslingerGirl Special Welfare Agency]] along the way, and became Elsa's fratello]].

* MeaningfulName: After getting turned into a Cybertronian, Jack takes the name of [[WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie Rodimus]]. As the next episode reveals, [[spoiler:he's this universe's version of '''Rodimus Prime''', and the successor to Optimus as Prime]].

** Canon never explains anything about Jack's father, who isn't even ''named'' in ''Prime''. Here, it's revealed that his name is John, he left Jack and June after his brother was killed in the Middle East to seek vengeance, and eventualyl ended up joining the [[Manga/GunslingerGirl Special Welfare Agency]], becoming a CompositeCharacter to Lauro, Elsa's fratello.

* AdaptationExpansion: The series gives significant amounts of info that wasn't exposited in the original ''Prime'' cartoon, or in the various crossovers that join this story.

** Sari is 100% human here and isn't half-Cybertronian. WordOfGod has implied that she will become one eventually, but that's not for a while.

* BadassFamily: The Darby family quickly proves to be one.
** Jack is turned into a cybertronian and [[spoiler:is chosen to be the next of the Primes]].
** June also becomes a cybertronian and proves to be a CombatMedic par excellence.

** Elsa, who was effectively adopted into the family, is a {{cyborg}} counter-terrorist despite being younger than Jack.

* ContinuitySnarl: During the prequel story, Jack tells Arcee that she had no idea what it's like losing someone close to you when discussing his deceased uncle. Arcee seems to concede the point, despite ''Prime'' making it very obvious that she still hasn't got over the deaths of Cliffjumper and Tailgate.

* FirstEpisodeTwist: Jack, Raf, Miko, and June are captured by MECH and turned into cybertronians. It is ''impossible'' to discuss any other episode in the series (excluding the prequel episode ''John and Elsa'') without mentioning this fact.
* FixFic: Played with. While the story was written to repair any perceived issues that the author thought season 3 would suffer from (as it was written before season 3 aired), it ultimately diverged into re-imagining season 3 in it's own way.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Isaac is just as bad at judging motives and true intentions until it's too late to do anything about it. He honestly thought MECH was a benevolent organization and was none the wiser until he couldn't do anything about it.

* MutualMasquerade: The [[Manga/GunslingerGirl Social Welfare Agency]] and Team Prime are completely in the dark that the other existed. {{Justified|Trope}} in that the two stories take place on different continents and that neither group had a reason to get involved with the other.

* TheUnmasquedWorld: Unlike in ''Prime'' canon, the Decepticons broadcast a declaration of war to the entire world, followed by Optimus giving a RousingSpeech after being rescued from Darkmount. This understandably causes singbifcsnt amounts of chaos and unrest worldwide.

* DissappointedByTheMotive: Jack is very nonplussed to learn that his dad left him and June for years in the name of getting {{Revenge}} for his brother Kevin.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Isaac is just as bad at judging motives and true intentions until it's too late to do anything about it. He honestly though MECH was a benevolent organization and was none the wiser until he couldn't do anything about it.

''Transfomers Prime Season 3'' is a fanfiction anthology made by the author [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/579408/LuisJM LuisJM]], and was created in response to some of his own issues with how Season 3 was handled as well as his initial perceived issues with the season (he began this series before season 3 aired and vowed not to watch it while he was working on the first two episodes). Needless to say, things diverge ''heavily'' form canon.

** Elsa, who was adopted into the family, is a {{cyborg}} counter-terrorist despite being younger than Jack.

* TheUnmasquedWorld: Unlike in ''Prime'' canon, the Decepticons broadcast a declaration of war to the entire world, followed by Optimus giving a RousingSpeech after being rescued from Darkmount.
