one this time

So there's been this string of 'seeker-Datsun' related stories. We know this. 

Its said that Seekers come in trines and seeker-kin/related do as well.

What's brought this up. I'm doing this essay/speech thing on semis/tractortrailers/lorrys/18-wheerls. After getting into it, I came across 'fleets'. Usually large amounts of these large trucks parked at truck stops or stations. I was thinking since Seekers/Datsun's are given more 'avian' like natures etc etc. . .needless to say 'fleet' just did it for me.

I can imagine them being migrateory-like, though usually more solitary in nature, and for whatever reason all come together for whatever reason like various forms of birds that flock toward the south during winter. Though obviously they'd be flightless.

. . .yeah *has no idea how to set out tags w/ this*

I just got this picture of Optimus, Hoist, and Grapple suddenly leaving the Ark randomly and joining a convoy to some unknown reason, to the rest of the ark, only to find him with a bunch of other truckformers getting together at some random spot that only makes sense to them.

LOL, that's the best mental image ever. I hope to see this bunny converted to fic

I don't know where the whole Seeker/Datsun/trine thing entered the fandom.

I know there are fic authors who have gotten into this lore:

those are just examples; tons more are on lj and fanfiction:

You're right, 'fleet' is commonly what a group of vehicles is called, particularly if they have the same owner or company affiliation.

It's a cute bunny. Fleets of TFs all flocking to vacation spots at the same time. I imagine they would go somewhere with relatively calm skies, well maintained roadways and not too much sand (it gets in everything). Nearby power sources are also a must.

I hope someone adopts the bunny.

Dude, I can totally see the humans scratching their heads at this one. *cracks up*

Flocking seekers...heheh

I like the idea. It seems fitting, especially if you were to do the insane thing and try to give the transformer verse its very own Darwin theory...hmm...

I noticed this last night after work when I saw not two, but three Volvo-based big rigs sitting still in the stripmall parking lot, just resting.

Thanks a lot, now you've got me thinking of trucks as bison or some other herd type hoofed animal.

*idea forms* ... Oh what the hell. *sings*

Oh, give me a home where eighteen wheelers roam
Where the trucks and flatbeds play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day


Um yeah, I'm gonna go over here and die of embarrassment now.

Um... I got the bison imagery too.

And then the darn lummoxes trampled me. (http://ante-luce.livejournal.com/64026.html)
