Changelings and Transformers.
I've recently come into possession of a DVD of a lovely movie: The Secret of Roan Inish (WARNING: Spoilers in the Wikipedia summary. The poster recommends you get your own copy - which is usually under $10). Watching it has set the current thought in motion...
Although Detective Fanzone's name seems to be of Italian derivative, he LOOKS to be of Irish, Scottish or Scots-Irish descent. These are cultures with strong oral narratives of Faerie. The Faerie who had a tendency to "steal" human children.
If Fanzone's family (on his mother's side or perhaps his father's side is Gaelic in all but name to do whims of patronymic tradition) is in touch with its Gaelic roots, how would it regard Sari's adoption by the Autobots? She'd be a "changeling" in most ways. Of course, this might not be a bad thing (even the most anti-fay would have to acknowledge that there was nobody else willing to take her in), but it would be...interesting.
