1. The Antikythera mechanism is an ancient device that is basically a two thousand year old computer that functions as an astrological calculator. Keeping track of the sun, moon, and possibly other planets when a date is entered. Recent studies have even shown that it could even predict solar eclipses. It has over thirty gears, follows the Egyptian 365-day calender, and takes into account the extra day every four years roughly a century before the Julian calender and leap years were introduced. All of this is extremely impressive when you realize it was built around 150-100 BC.
Someone was awake and in southern Europe while everyone else was in stasis.
2. Optimus Prime is quoted for saying "Freedom is the right of all sentient life." Thing is, he didn't say sapient.
3. There was one of these colorful excavators in the next town over from where I am. It's paint job is all the more vibrant first hand. And I couldn't help but wonder what kind of, or which, transformer it would be.
4. One of the main reasons the Decepticons haven't won the war is that as beings from a planet with limited non-renewable resources, it's nearly impossible to comprehend resources that ARE renewable. Hence Megatron frequently vowing to drain the Earth dry, he doesn't quite get that he doesn't have to do so to have a one up on energon supplies.
But now, the Autobots are in trouble. The Decepticons have finally gotten it, and are now using the knowledge to obtain energy without depending on easy to detect and preventable raids.
5. When the Decepticons raided the Inca temple for the Crystal of Power, and of which was later destroyed by an Autobot to stop them, it pissed off some dormant deities. Unfortunately, thanks to active destruction of the Incan religions, they don't know just how powerful the gods and goddesses who are causing trouble for Autobot and Decepticon alike, really are.
6. A group of Autobots and Decepticons are turned into nudibranchs. Whether they stay the same size or are now the actual size of nudibranchs is up to you. Because the image of a nudibranch Prime going "Ha! Can't catch me!" to a nudibranch Megatron while both are creeping along without weapons just won't leave me alone.
7. Mirage gets turned into a turbofox.
8. They could sense sparks.
9. One of the Decepticons is the Cybertronian equivalent of our Shakespeare.
10. Cybertronian parasites. Turns out, some of them are even nastier than the ones found on Earth.

Date: 2008-12-03 05:39 am (UTC)Though now I'm imagining Prime truly meaning all sensate life, and joining the ALF.
And then the ALF releases one of their crazy videos, and all the humans have ski masks on, and there's this HUGE ASS robot in the back ground with a beach blanket over his head. 'Cause that's totes keeping his identity a secret, LOL.
