Just one bunny that would be awesome to see other people's take on it

[no-pen-writer.livejournal.com]

I've run across fics and bunny ideas of Datsuns, Lamborghinis, or both being some form of ground based seeker-kin or just being seekers who got reformatted into ground based forms. Well my mind decided to combine that in a different way. Specifically:

Datsuns/Lambos/Both are actually the youngling phase for Seekers, and after a certain time or event happens to come by their programing kicks in to ping adult seekers/medics/both that they are at the stage where they need to upgrade into an adult, flight capable body now. This being like how organic birds have to gain flight capable feathers before they are even pushed out of the nest for the first time.

A) Meaning that one or more of Prime's officers was technically not of age to be in the autobot army and were underage until recently.

B) Both sides now get to wonder if anyone of the autobot seekers are creations of any of the Decepticon seekers.



I plan to try and do this bunny myself, but I would really like to see what other people would take this bunny.

You know, I think I prefer the idea of the Datsun's being young Seekers (proto-Seekers?) than the Lambo's. It's the wings.

I'm also adoring the idea of the proto-seekers in question not KNOWING they were Seekers until recently. :D

So long as I'm here...

I've come across mentions of "flightless Seekers" and "Seeker-kin" before, but I don't know where they originated. Could someone explain it to me please? The thing that's throwing me off is that Seekers, by definition, are Decepticon jets. So saying "flightless seekers" is a bit of an oxymoron, and I have no idea what to do with "Seeker-kin".

Clarification - or at least a link to the original bunny - would be superb.

The wings get me too, I added the Lambos in the idea after seeing a few fics of the earth trio being reformatted from seekers to Lambos.


I love that part, because the fun you can have with reactions and having them get used to the idea.


I haven't gone far enough back to find it either. I haven't seen the flightless seeker one, but the seeker-kin I see used as the phrase for groundbased models that have seeker programing, but aren't really seekers. Like if you put two different races of humans near eachother and after a while they start to mix which makes a new classification amongst the group even if you can't really tell the difference on a cursory glance.

That actually makes pretty good sense, and it's something I can relate to. I live in the US, but I was born and raised in Saudi Arabia until I was almost 15. It's a different situation, but two different cultures coming together to form a unique third one? That, I can relate to.

In Ante_Luce's fics, being a seeker isn't so much a matter of your frame, but your coding, culture, language, code of conduct and such.
It was explained in one fic that Vos and Praxus were once one city (or maybe twin cities?) and all citizens were considered seeker-kin, and they were one big happy family until politics happened.
Flightless seekers were those who had all of seeker programming except the flight protocols. They don't fly, but they still form trines (Prowl,Smokesreen, Bluestreak), and have a private language that no no-seeker-kin can understand.

I don't know if all above was Ante_Luce's original idea, or was it borrowed from somewhere else. (If so, I'd bet it was from bunny-farm).
If you're curious about more detail, check out her stories. They are great and very neatly cataloged. I recommend tags 'datsun trine' and 'flightless' for a start.

(on the off chance you ever see this reply...)

Is Ante_Luce here on LiveJournel? A link would be much appreciated.
