A Cybertronian's Real-Life Guide to Winning Over Superheroes [DC/Marvel/Transformers]

On Earth, superheroes and supervillains had all heard the prophecy that an iron-robot villain called [Calamity] would descend upon Earth before long;

On Cybertron, after getting a golden finger dangled in front of him, the Calamity who happened to share that name had just stolen a holy artifact and was about to set off on a journey with an unknown destination;

What would happen when a Transformer could change into anything at will? Would he try being a villain with the same name, or switch sides and become a superhero?

Unfortunately, Calamity wasn't the kind of guy who liked choosing between two options.

"Hey, guys, don't get the wrong idea! I'm really not here to destroy Earth!" To the superheroes

"Scrap, you guys don't get the wrong idea either! I definitely don't want to destroy Earth with you." To the supervillains

A new ability lets him scan any external object and transform into it?

That's awesome! A brand-new transformation appeared in Calamity's optics, scanned and ready to use.

The superheroes hurried to cover up their important weapons and vehicles, while the supervillains rubbed their hands together, eager to get on this guy's good side. If being nice didn't work, they'd try force!

But Calamity really was a good kid... He might have a few "crimes" that could easily be overlooked, but everyone still liked him.

"Hey, that's a nice hammer."

Thor came up carrying his precious Mjolnir and immediately went to clobber him. The next second, Calamity turned into Mjolnir and clobbered him right back...

"Whoa, that's cool! A black car."

Wayne hadn't even had time to stop him before Calamity turned into the Batmobile...

"If I scan the doctor, will I turn into an iron-eating bug and start devouring robots?" (No.)

Hannibal glanced at him coolly. Calamity rudely tackled the Autobot bounty hunter behind him to the ground...

"Hey, your paint job's terrible. Black never goes out of style."

After making fun of Tony's iconic suit, Calamity transformed into black armor with lake-green accents and flew off...

[Some background on Calamity]

(You don't need to know Transformers to enjoy this. The key details will be explained~)

Calamity answered the three questions posed by the space-time guardian, Yintian Xing, and "reasonably" transmigrated to this world of chaotic time and space, bringing with him the holy artifact, Yintian Xing's Splendor.

An Autobot bounty hunter named Di Wushuang was seemingly fated to come along. This bounty hunter, who had once tracked fugitives across the universe, found answers to the questions troubling his own spark through his interactions with Calamity and the people of Earth... And, of course, the formidable bounty hunter, who was as impressive in a fight as he looked, was inevitably won over by Calamity.

Please note:

Content warning: Main cast > Marvel cast > DC cast > possibly others

The protagonist is the adult version of the Transformer Calamity. His initial transformation is a truck, but after being affected by the holy artifact, he can scan and transform into any external object on Earth. You don't need to know Transformers to enjoy this. The key details will be explained~

The family dynamics follow my work in progress, Before Calamity Became TFP's Savior, about the day-to-day relationship between the forever-young Calamity and Wei Qing. It's complete, so feel free to check it out!

This is a very crack pairing! The author is playing matchmaker at random, but for certain reasons, they actually make a good fit! The top/bottom roles are as shown above.
