my first and maybe only bunnies

These are from the 2007 movie only, and they concern only one character. Megatron.

1. Rather than killing Megatron, the All Spark merely turns him into a newborn sparkling. Rather than being a little hellspawn, like the few other Sparkling Megatron bunnies say, he's just the cutest, sweetest little guy imaginable. Being mean and cruel is a learned trait, not an innate one.

2. The real reason Megatron has always been so cruel is because he was abused as a sparkling. His father was probably Sentinel Prime, and this also explains why he killed him personally. If Optimus attempted to take care of his brother through all this, it would also explain why Prime managed to survive so many clashes against somebody that freaking strong. If the father also kept him hidden inside his home, it could explain why so few people realize that he's Optimus Prime's brother. How would any of them deal with this? Does such treatment in his past have any other mental or emotional aftereffects on him? Would this have any effect on Optimus?

And now for some crack...

3. A funny story that ends with this sentence: 'From that point onward, Ravage was no longer allowed anywhere near Starscream.'

epic Screaming One bunny

[animikii.livejournal.com]

So, we all know that there will always be those Decepticons who gossip about Starscream getting to his position by sleeping in the right berths. And the obligatory response to that is that Starscream is more than just a pretty face and got to SIC with skill and determination and his rapier wit.

Alright, now let's make this totally (or not) AU and swap that around.

Let's say that, instead, Starscream did, in fact, sleep his way into the Decepticon ranks, and did so openly, instead of doing it militarily. Like he came in and moved up as a courtesan instead of a soldier, cleverly and stealthily moving onto higher and higher ranking Decepticons through deceptive manipulation and/or murder behind the scenes. It doesn't even occur to mechs that he's anything more than a pretty face and famous berthmate, mostly because anyone who starts to get curious turns up dead before they can mention their suspicions to anybody else.

Eventually, either by sheer luck, unluck, or over-ambitious planning on Starscream's part, Megatron ends up bumping into one of Starscream's assassins fleeing the scene of the murder of Starscream's former partner. He somehow gets Starscream's name from the assassin... and there begins an epic game of cat-and-mouse.

Megatron, interested and curious, publicly announces that he will graciously 'take in' the lovely Starscream after the 'tragic and mysterious murder' of the seeker's berthmate. He knows that Starscream is dangerous, or at least smarter and more deceptive than he lets on, and starts putting Starscream through some covert tests to try to make the seeker slip up and publicly admit/show his deception. Starscream gets suspicious, but can't confront Megatron about it in case he doesn't know, but is determined to win this 'game' they find themselves playing.


Detailed bunny is detailed, no? Complex bunny is interesting, Y/N?
