Yeah, it would be hard to make this into a oneshot. Well, a not very detailed timeline could be one, but the length could vary (I try to limit my oneshots from 2000 to up to 10,000 words). No, the changes wouldn't start from the core, but the thought of how the core would change is interesting to think of. The changes would start from the area with the highest radiation, which is centered around the cube at Hoover Dam. Lol, I just thought of how Americans would be making so much money with the newfound metal that seems to be so easy to find in their territory and not any others.
Anyways, the idea of natural selection and humans being affected occurred to me too. Scenarios where some humans couldn't live through the mutations their bodies had started to take on over the generations. Plant life is more connected to the earth that the allspark is greatly affecting, so what would happen if plants started changing too fast for most of the inhabitants of earth to adapt? Considering we need them to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen through photosynthesis, we'd be screwed. (That thought always made me wonder how humans could possibly be on Cybertron in some fics, are there even plants there? Or an atmosphere that doesn't contain elements too harmful to us that would really affect the transformers?)
Sorry, I ramble when I'm tired (it's 2 in the morning right now...). I really do hope someone is able to write a fic revolving around this idea, but I love that others are finding ways of incoporating it into their fics. Thanks for putting your two cents in! Take care!
