I have to get this out before it breeds, so only one bunny

1. Movieverse. What if the Allspark's presence on earth affected the planet more than anyone realized? In this bunny, Cybertron was originally a planet much like earth except it was unable to sustain life. The allspark transformed that planet, and now it is changing earth. After so long a lot of  the earth's minerals have already changed and the changes are irreversible as the planet slowly becomes another Cybertron. It does not matter that the allspark is now gone, once started it cannot be stopped until the process is complete. How will the humans react once they realize this? How will it affect them? They don't know, because Cybertron originally had no life on it's surface until the allspark created such life. What about the transformers, how do they react?

Let it be noted that I have only watched the movies and have not read any of  the comics and such related to said movies, so I have no clue if I'm going against any canon in those.

If the cube really did this, I suspect all organics would being evolving to be able to live off the metal or whatever the cube has provided such as energon. If not than that species would just die out (natural selection). Considering the amount of time the cube has already been there, it might have caused mutations in plants and animals (humans included) that would eventually lead to Transformers (Which could also explain the origins of the Transformers?) The cube was retrievable by humans too, so I doubt the changes would start from the core.
There are simple so many ways this bunny could be used! I can't really write stories that are longer than one-shots, but I figure I would put my 2 cents in :).

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!
