Bunnies and a question

[heslestor.livejournal.com]

1. Bumblebee always did feel a bit useless. Sure, he's on the Spec Ops team (or minibots team, your choice) and the top three when it comes to scouting and espionage for the Ark. Sure, he's able to cheer up practically anyone just with a smile. But that all tends to go down the drain, when just because of his looks, he's treated like a sparkling that doesn't know any better by the rest of the crew. That's why he's a bit shocked when Soundwave and his team treats him like the serious threat that he really is. After all, they know better than most, not to judge by looks alone. He gets a little flustered when they treat him like this all the time, even when they're taunting and teasing him. Because of this, he becomes a little infatuated with Soundwave. Something the tape lord has every intention of taking advantage of, perhaps trying to get him to join the Cons by taking him under his wind and teaching a few tricks of the trade, how to be a proper warrior.

3. You know how on car lots some of the cars have their hoods up to show off their engines? Well, would Transformers consider that to be the equivalent of flashing? And after having to stare at a garage for way too long waiting to pick someone up, would the Transformers consider those jacks that raise the entire car up to be some sort of kink? Just think of it though, the mech would be pretty much helpless in that position with their entire underside, which is usually depicted as very sensitive, open to whoever wandered by. Which makes me think of this; What would Transformers consider to be a kink? Since I have the vague notion that while humans and Cybertronians may share some of the same kinks, there would be quite a few that would just leave a human very puzzled, since to us it wouldn't be very odd at all. You know, since we're used to doing certain things to electronics and thinking of machines as, well machines. They'd probably be scandalized by how we treat some of our machines, what we do with them, or even the discussions we have about them. To us all innocent because we're organics.

4. Crossover. Bill Nye, Beast, Mythbusters, Uncle Fester and Wheeljack (or any other of your favorite scientists) all team up to work on a project together. Just for fun. Or maybe they decide to host their own science show.

5. Animated. Since Starscream no longer has a spark, does that mean he can't bond anymore, (and all of the fun aspects that comes with bonding with another), or if he does have a bonded and they don't know that Screamer's still alive, do they think him to be dead? Is he declared legally dead? Could you imagine the hassle he'd have to go through in the afterlife, when he finally does die? He's gonna have to fill out a lot of paper work to get everything sorted out.

7. "War is not in human nature. Humans fight by making themselves enter insanity. It is...the same for revenge. This is a tool to amplify the insanity. And this insanity is the source of the power of Dragoons, the Dragon Knight."
"Someday, something will happen, and if you cannot chasten your insanity, I wonder if you will be able to endure it, given the size of your spirit?"
Legend of Dragoon

8. ("Take help where it is offered." Yet I've always found that help offered when not needed is usually no help at all.)
Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen 2

9. Sparks naturally want to be balanced. They don't choose to become glitch ridden individuals. They can't help the problems that are built into their bodies.

10. Cybertronian law considers twins, split spark one half of the same whole, to be a single individual. Same goes for triplets and any other type of split sparked mechanoids. Sometimes it's not too much of a problem for bots like Reflector, however, when it concerns ones like Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, it's another matter entirely.

11. Some humans become concerned when certain individuals of their race are much more comfortable around giant alien robots than with other humans. This is because they suffer from anthropophobia (fear of people. Or at least organics, since they see the Cybertronians as people, they just don't fear them. We also don't know if this phobia is just fear of humans or all sentient beings in existence since, well, we don't really have a bunch of alien visitors to test this out on).

12. Another thing Cybertronians would have to get use to after landing on Earth would be the atmosphere, or more importantly, the ozone. Since their planet doesn't really have much of an atmosphere, they wouldn't have to worry about harmful affects to it like we would. So they would have to learn how the actions of an individual, like an experiment, affects the environment around them.

13. Crossover. The Transformers meet the 50last. Basically, the 50last are the clone rejects that the Empire decided to put all on Hoth so they're out of the way and won't cause trouble.

14. Strafe / Bluestreak This pairing has the potential to be adorable, and at the same time rather scarring for bystanders.

15. Whenever Red Alert, or maybe Mirage, is around, the pink panther/mission impossible theme is played. For once it isn't Sideswipe, or even Jazz or Blaster that are the ones responsible.

16. G1!Kup / Ani!Ratchet. I feel sorry for the young bots. Actually. No, no I don't.

17. Blades / Afterburner

18. There was a bunny with Skyfire so phobic of ice that he's unsettled by the ice cubes in drinks. This made me think that once he finds out that a severe amount of ice can gather on the wings of an aircraft simply from flying through the clouds, he would probably refuse to fly at all because of how many there are on Earth. Silverbolt has a fear of heights, Skyfire will effectively have the opposite. So they come together to try and help each other master their fears.

19. Why exactly are organic worlds forbidden in the Animated continuity? Was it something along the lines of what happened in Animporphs, where an advanced species shared their technology with a lesser developed race and it all went wrong?

20. The perfect killer has no friends…only targets.

21. The way each faction sees the members of the others. In other words, time for rumors and gossiping.

22. Humans have bird watching, Transformers have Seeker/Flyer watching.

23. It isn't uncommon for severely injured mechs to loose some of their memory. Considering how long the war has been going on and how some mechs are prone to life threatening injuries, it isn't surprising that they're not the same as they were when they first joined the war. But at what point does a bot loose so much that they effectively become a different person?

24. ???? "What the Pit is that?"
???? "I? I am a monument to all your sins."
Because Gravemind is a slagging awesome villain.

25. If everyone thought Squawktalk was bad when he was always talking in any number of foreign languages, they never considered what he'd be like after he got his claws on something like Star Wars: Galactic Phrase Book and Travel Guide. Or other various sources of fictional languages. Lets see how much everyone likes him after he starts speaking in Wookie for a whole week.

26. "The future isn't so frightening . . . once you see what it holds."

27. To satisfy his need to do stunt flying and the occasional stupid trick, Starscream has taken up flying with a bunch of human military stunt pilots/test pilots. (He also uses the excuse that it’s to scope out the humans flying abilities, but nobody really believes him.) He does this mainly for some downtime and to get away from the insanity that commonly takes place at the underwater Decepticon base. However, there's a little unforeseen hitch in his plans. The humans do know who he is since he's made a deal with them. The problem is that he's started to hang around with them after their flights, instead of just taking off. And slowly, as he stays with them longer, he starts seeing the similarities between them and any squad of flyers in the Con army. Starts to think less of them as mere squishies and more as equals. And unconsciously, his CPU starts to categorize them as part of the flyer mentality. So it's understandable that he's in a bit of a bind when the next battle has his trine and his human trine facing off against each other. After all, birds of a feather flocks together. (Could also subsitiute any Decepticon flyer if you want, like one of the Coneheads)

28. "Love your enemies in case your friends turn out to be a bunch of bastards."

29. Throw down the sword
The fight is done and over
Neither lost neither won
To cast away the fury of the battle
Turn my weary eyes for home
Throw Down The Sword Wishbone Ash

30. I have to be a warrior
A slave I couldn't be
A soldier and a conqueror
Fighting to be free.
Warrior Wishbone Ash
This one really makes me think of Megatron, and the world from his perspective.

30. "I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war." Albert Einstein.


Is there a comm out there for discussing not only Cybertronina culture and society but also that of the various aliens, planets and the like out there?

If not would anyone be interested in a community focused on something like that? Even to fleshing out the back story of canon characters, or coming up with a personality for a character in some places. I know you can do that here, or really any TF comm and other sites, but this would be its sole focus, (and personally I prefer lj for this kind of thing compared to other sites) ranging from the commonly discussed methods of Transformer reproduction to new things like how Quintessions reproduce and everything in between, including personal/headspace canon. Or, am I just wasting everyone's time? *Kind of feels odd asking for something like this here, but don't really know how else to go about it.*
