Some ideas I've had lying around for a while but doubt I'll ever have a chance to use.

[G1] Everyone knows Megatron and Starscream are in a relationship. Everyone knows that relationship is abusive. Nobody knows it's Megatron who is being abused. How does he withstand it, and why?
Bonus points if the abuse is entirely non-physical.

[G1] High orbit above Earth is a bleak and empty place, so it's no surprise Blast Off and Cosmos have struck up a stand-offish ceasefire of a friendship to relieve the loneliness. What does Blast Off do when he's the only witness to Cosmos being abducted by real aliens?

[G1] The Quintessons have taken over the bodies of the Autobot and Decepticon commanders to use them to conquer Cybertron. How do Galvatron, Rodimus Prime et al respond to being left trapped on the bodies of multi-faced cyborg squid, and what can they do to warn their troops?
Bonus points if the Quintessons have to put Daniel in the body of a Sharkticon.

[G1] Soundwave's spark is thin and feeble from creating his cassettes. Unless he has at least one inside his chest, he will soon weaken and die. How do the cassettes use this to control him, and under what circumstances would they use it against him?

[G1] Prowl and Jazz's relationship has gone bad. Prowl's discovered that Jazz just doesn't do monogamy, and Jazz doesn't see why his infidelity is a problem - after all, he's always slept around with whoever and whenever he felt like it. Why is it so much of a problem just because they're married now?

[G1] After the events on Quintessa in TFTM, the Sharkticons have begun to secretly worship Grimlock as a violent god of anarchy and rebellion. What do the Autobots do when they find out?

[G1] The power transfer from Optimus Prime that saved Elita-1's life shouldn't have worked - in fact, it shouldn't have done anything at all. It only worked because Elita-1 was designed from Optimus Prime's schematics. How does Optimus Prime react to discovering that Elita-1 is his clone and/or sister? And why did Alpha Trion keep this knowledge from them for so many millions of years?

Songfic based on this song. Any continuity will do - I've been wanting a songfic for this song for years.

[BW] The Predacons only know of their Decepticon ancestors from the heavily edited and biased histories given by the Maximal Elders. What sort of stories do they tell one another about their past and their heritage?

[BW] All Predacons have a counter in their head that's counting down to zero. When a Predacon reaches three hundred years old, he dies. The Maximal Elders enforced this to control the Predacons. The counters can be stopped, but not without weeks of preperator work. Now, on prehistoric Earth, one Predacon's counter has only a few days left on it - what does everyone do?
Bonus points if it's Scorponok's counter.

I'd love to see someone take that one.

This is interesting, especially since it seems Optimus already knows Elita is an upgraded Ariel.

Be nice if someone did :)

There are a lot of arguments one could forward on that, starting with the possibility that she *isn't* - I really need to check on that. In any case, Prime knows or suspects it, but Elita apparently doesn't, and Prime chose not to tell her. It's all a very screwy situation.

Okay, then I could kind-of see Optimus wanting to put his past life behind him and Elita is drawn to him because she subconsciously sees the remnants of Orion in him, but OP doesn't want to ask her, just in case she isn't a rebuilt Ariel and she simply does not know that Optimus is the rebuilt Orion...

Yeah, can start to see how this plotbunny could work.

From the sounds of things, even if Elita-1 *is* the rebuilt Ariel, she doesn't remember *anything* from before the rebuild [including, presumably, being killed by Megatron - or even that Ariel and Orion existed at all].

Heh ^_^

Well the whole thing is up to interpretation, now isn't it? Here's hoping someone grabs it and writes something good.

I might give the first one a try during summer, when I've finished my current two projects (one of which contains some of the elements of the OP/EO-bunny, though with a very different interpretation). I think I have a few ideas to make it work, though I'll probably have some problems dealing with proper Mega-"not exactly the most likely candidate for being victim of abuse"-tron characterization.

Yeah, that's the idea. To take the very worn-out "Starscream is a victim of Megatron's abuse" trope and turn it around. Good luck with it.
