Well, I loved G1 and all, but as an adult and a history lover have often wondered if both sides would have had their own propaganda.
I'd really like to see a kind of propaganda war going on between the two factions, each new newscast responding to the last and sort of evolving as it goes on and how the rumor mill affects it as well. I mean, there are so many ways they could go about it, from the more trying to keep it clean Autobots to the outright manipulation of the Decepticons. Then again, both sides could be doing whatever they could to discredit the other side. Or, like with what we do, try to make the soldiers think of the enemy as lower than animals so they won't feel guilt for killing them and and, dammit another bunny. *sigh* Anyway, one of the cassetticon's (Garboil?) main function is the crafting of stories for public consumption. And as much as I love the Autobots, the recent Movie verse comics are making me even more sympathetic towards the 'Cons. Starscream, you're suppose to be the embodiment of betrayal and treachery, not inspire loyalty in a lowly organic such as myself. Not to mention Megatron Origin, which made me really wanna slap an Autobot.
*snrk!* And the Autobots all wandering around the area with utter 'wtf' expressions on their faceplates. PRICELESS.
Blitzwing is getting along frightfully well with all the humans on base. Prob'ly because there's so many of us that we can keep up with his mood swings. And the humans have made a game out of provoking Lugnut into one of his Megatron speeches, bonus points for how long it is, how many times he says glorious, etc. Starscream, of course, has claimed the base as his own, which the humans are putting up with fairly well, Sunstorm's running around trying to learn everything about everyone so he can be a proper sycophant, Skywarp's hiding somewhere because of all the organics swarming the place and Femmescream is currently racing some of the top pilots and beating the slag out of 'em. At the same time, Optimus is trying to come up with some sort of motivational speech, because he can make a motivational speech out of anything, slag it all, and this scenario calls for one pit of a speech. Prowl's off by himself (nature and all), Bulkhead is arguing with Liarscream, Bee is arguing with Thundercracker, and Ratchet's just sitting in the back trying to process it all (and having a stiff drink of high grade).
Primus yes!
So, sitting trying to write, what should be a quick pwp, and my brain starts thinking about, of all things, weather patterns on Cybertron. -_- I kid you not, then it goes on about all the different verses and how some have no sun or two moons and the lack of water and whoosh, there goes the smut muse out the window not to be seen for another year. *headdesk*
