We follow the "adventures" of some poor souls investigating sightings of monsters in the local swamp and get more than meets the eye. The monsters turn out to be Predacons. The rest of the series has them hide from the Predacons with nary a Maximal in sight. Naturally, everyone's going to complain about how OOC the Transformers are.

The MC is a Persona fan who gets reincarnated into P4, and he uses his foreknowledge of events to derail everything. He even exposes Adachi as the killer before Naoto shows up.

Speaking of Persona, let's put the cast of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (pick a continuity or make one up) into Persona 5. Let's see what happens.

[up][up] The Investigation Team gets thrown down into 1980's Gwangju by the Mastermind, wielding a sword with time-transporting capabilities. Yu Narukami (now with the name of Jeong Noe-shin) swears to "take you with me", and thus starts an over-emphasised revenge plot involving instead, the capture of several (former) palaces scattered throughout South Jeolla, instead of escapades in rooms.


[up] The entire game is turned into a blatant advertisement for every and any pizzeria. All the turtles' talks about pizza overpower every single scene. The entire work was discredited altogether after the Mastermind declares love for "Pizza Hut", as comparisons to and memories of Vinesauce's sick adventure in the lands of TWISTER, by the Czech unit of the iced confectionery ALGIDA(!) pop into the minds of whoever plays it.

It has a tone similar to that of BoJack Horseman and King of the Hill's, tackling topics more seriously and in a deconstructed way but also adding a flair of comedy in it.

Optimus Prime goes insane from human abandonment and brutally murders his fellow Autobots (who can now bleed for some reason), before setting his sights on humans. Oh, and all robot characters are depicted by humans in cheap, obvious costumes.

Once the Transformers are on Public Domain, someone writes a movie about some forgotten Hasbro toys that turned to life, then they start to fight for Energon, but not without killing the people in the middle.

At first the people that found the bodies do not believe that the killings were done by killer Hasbro toys but then later they find that they are really dangerous and start a war against them.

Being from those that wrote Blood and Honey, they don´t have not even the 10% of the budget of a Michael Bay film so they can not get to manage a decent explosion on screen.

It condensed both the first game and ransom into a 2-hour long afair, and the Gangs of River City might get a Villain Song to boot. Despite this, it alienates both fans and Broadway afficionados.

Of course, all of the violence and language is toned down, but the fighting aspect is still prominent, and some characterizations of the characters are changed in order to be more relatable to a younger audience.

Orange Stripes, an animated special made during The War on Terror. In it, Garfield and Odie sign up for the military after Jon almost dies in a terrorist attack. Wacky misadventures ensue as they’re deployed to Iraq, and despite not fitting the traditional soldier, they fight for the American way.

Most people are divided about such a light-hearted character vouching for a serious topic. Younger fans are immediately turned off, and the special is buried soon after release. Nowadays, it exists as a curiosity of a different time that even Jim Davis dislikes.
