* The [[Website/TFWikiDotNet Transformers Wiki]] has a "Transformers References" section for every episode or issue. Much of it is simply "Starscream mentions last issue's events" but you'd be surprised how many sly homages there are. After all, it's a franchise that's been going across ''multiple'' media with ''several'' countries producing original fiction almost continuously since 1984, and everything, however obscure, is some fan's favorite and some author's favorite, and some of the creators just like throwing in obscure homages for fun. The result is ''every single member of any crowd scene'' in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' being a past character, though it may be as obscure as "That off-white Bumblebee repaint sold briefly and only in Brazil." (Aka Sedan.)

In the ''-san'' homage, the panelling also mimics that of the ''-kun'' original.

* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' is a LongRunner franchise ''built'' on recurring archetypes, so it naturally has too many of these to list. However, the mainline king of Fire Emblem homages is undoubtedly Awakening, which was created as a potential last-ever Fire Emblem game, and is therefore filled to the brim with homages to some of the franchise's most beloved moments. These include including the marriage and children inheritance system and main plot of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'' and a secondary plot based on ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden'', many optional weapons named after earlier main characters, and even the potential to use said classic lords as optional DLC units. And of course, it goes without saying that as ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' was created as a celebration of the franchise, it is also filled with fun {{Mythology Gag}}s and remixes.
