Created by Strawberrytop007 on DeviantArt in 2009, Get Animated is a Fancomic based on the cartoon Transformers: Animated and centered on her Original Character(OC), Erin Parker, and the rogue Decepticon Starscream.
Get Animated was originally a western-style comic, but is currently being redone in a manga format.
Set in an AU of Transformers: Animated season 3, the plot revolves around Erin after being kidnapped by Starscream because she absorbed a tainted Allspark Shard.While that's happening, Bizarra, Optimus's Decepticon little sister and her monster boyfriend Phantom enter the fray.

Get Animated provides examples of:
- Art Evolution: The Manga version of the comic has better quality than the original — and to a lesser extent, the first few pages of the manga compared to the latest pages.
- Body Horror: What happened to Phantom counts since he was found guilty of being a traitor, he was experimented on until he was mutated into a horrific monster that needs to devour Energon from living 'bots to survive. Doubles as Playing with Syringes.
- Cain and Abel: Optimus and Bizarra — the former doesn't understand why her sister would turn traitor and join the Decepticons, and the latter blames Optimus for what happened to Phantom.
- Interspecies Friendship: Starscream (Cybertronian) and Erin, (Human). Maybe.
- Magic Skirt: Subverted. Optimus ends up unintentionally getting a panty shot of Erin. Erin is not amused.
- Villain Protagonist: Starscream, but since Erin is forced to work for him she also counts especially when she Took a Level in Badass, upgrading herself with the DarkSpark. fragment.
