Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Drift Compatible is a Fusion Fic between Transformers and Pacific Rim, set in a universe roughly adiacent to the Prime continuity, where all the mecha are miniature transforming Jaegers that require a pilot to function correctly, either by transferring a human's consciousness directly into the mech or by Synchronization, and were initially built to defend the Earth against an alien invasion. However, since the first generation of robots (the Decepticons, known in-universe as the 'A-units') turn on humanity For the Evulz, they're forced to build some more robots to fight against them, because clearly they didn't learn their lesson the first time. Anyway, these robots are good. Allegedly. But they're not as under control as most people in the know would like to believe, and they're quite picky about choosing their pilots. So ten years after the first planetary war, when the Decepticons return to Earth to exact their revenge, the search for people that are Drift Compatible with and can fight alongside the mecha begins anew. Of course, nothing goes as planned. The story can be read on AO3. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

comment
Doppelgänger Gets Same Sentiment: The B-series mechs gain the voice of their first pilot and it never changes afterwards, even if said pilot dies. This is quite painful for the people who knew them, since they're reminded of them every time the mechs speak. In particular, you see Kevin, and to a lesser extent Jeff, sometimes treat Wheeljack and Optimus respectively like they're their first pilots for this reason.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Deliberate Under-Performance: Jack does this on a regular basis down to the clothes he wears, in an attempt to look as average as possible so as not to draw unwanted attention.

Cast From Hitpoints: Every time the mecha use ranged weapons, they're drawing directly from the energon used to power their reactor, the physical embodiment of their soul.

Alas, Poor Villain: You really feel sorry for Skyquake, especially seeing Dreadwing's reaction to his passing.

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Bumblebee suffers from this as a consequence of having too many visual sensors.

comment
Break Them by Talking: Megatron attempts this on Jack and Smokescreen, to get them to break synch. It works. In a rare heroic example, Wheeljack semi-unwittingly tells Dreadwing the truth about Skyquake's demise and resurrection after nearly getting killed in their fight, simply to break his spirit.

Death Is Gray: Unpiloted B-units are grey: they gain their colours upon forming a link with their pilots, only to lose them again if said pilots die.
