1. Lyrical prompt: "I used to roll the dice/Feel the fear in my enemies' eyes.../One minute I held the key/Next the walls were closed on me.../Once you were gone there was never/Never an honest word/And that was when I ruled the world." (Coldplay's "Viva la Vida")
2. Seekers tend to, on the average, come across as flighty or completely mad (Starscream and Skywarp acting as examples of the extremes in behaviour). The truth of the matter is they're incredibly intelligent and territorial, and the reason they all joined the Decepticon cause is because they felt it the only way to defend what they consider "theirs": the stronghold cities, their trines, and maybe even a few of the other Decepticon soldiers.
3. Expanding on #2: Upon awakening on Earth, the seekers resumed their extremes in behaviour even as they explored and expanded their "new" territory. Unfortunately, they've also "claimed" a few military bases – and the staff thereof – as part of their extended family unit, and constantly struggle with the urge to turn against their faction in order to defend that which they've claimed.
On the plus side, it would confuse the hell out of the Autobots and make for some great image captures...
4. What if the Starscream in Animated is actually just a reformatted-and-amnesiac G1 Starscream? Does that mean that if the All Spark shard is removed from his forehead that his "unique" spark will just find its way back to him? And if it does, will he remember his previous life/lives?
This is the stuff that pops into my head when I'm trying to fall asleep. Yeesh.
5. "It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you!"
I need to stay away from Wikiquote. The next few prompts are basically paraphrased from M.A.S.H.:
6. "You know, we gotta do it someday... throw away all the guns and invite all the 'cons to a cocktail party. Last mech standing on his feet at the end wins the war."
7. "Those two, they're ruining this war, for all of us!"
8. Megatron: "I assume you're all read my notice concerning the recent crime wave."
Swindle: "I would've read it, but the notice was stolen."
9. ?: "You're drunk!"
??: (slurring) "That's a dirty lie. And I intend to press charges. The minute I'm sober."
10. "There are certain rules about a war. Rule number one is mechs die. And rule number two is medics can't change rule number one."
11. Sideswipe:" You know those things I've said about you – all those nasty tricks I've played on you?"
?: "Yes?"
Sideswipe: "I'd like to get better and do them all over again."
12. "Very good, _____. Your report is concise, informative, and makes no sense whatsoever."
13. First Aid: "I'll treat their wounds, heal their wounds, bind their wounds, but I will not inflict their wounds!"

Date: 2008-12-17 10:32 pm (UTC)*snrk!* I can see the 'wtf?' expressions all around right now should a group of seekers abruptly open fire on their own faction because resurrected!Megatron/Galvatron/Shockwave/Soundwave/whomever is attacking "their" base. They might need to pick Ironhide's jaw up off the ground. And Lennox's. And Epps'.
Megatron and Optimus. They take everything so seriously! Don't they know that the whole thing is just a training exercise?
Seriously. I'm waiting for Soundwave to be the one to yell that abruptly in the middle of a battle... and for the Dinobots to sound off in agreement.
Megatron. Because I've always imagined that his subordinates' reports would all be like this.
I love that particular strip! Poor Skywarp just looks so sad that his artwork got shot down. *pets Warp*
