Actual G1 quote....

Surely others have caught this, but it struck me today as entirely hilarious and worthy of some crackfic.   

Episode source is SOS Dinobots.

Ratchet: "Bumblebee! I can't interface with Optimus Prime!"

*Spit-take* Say what? Which 'verse is this from?

*wanders off to go rewatch*

there may indeed be some crack based off this in the future.

I did notice that. I also chocked on my own spit, and fell off my chair. XDD
[sighs] That was a fun day.

Yeah, I noticed this. Apparently there is a canon meaning that is different than the fanfic meaning.

And now I have the mental image of Bumblebee as the Ark's matchmaker.....

I admit to giggling like a loon whenever I rewatch that episode. My roomie tends to just put up with my insanity and/or tell me to get my mind out of the gutter for a few minutes.

One of my FB friends directed me to this:

for more of this ilk.

Yeah, it's not that uncommon for canon to use interface to mean, simply, "interface." Usually not transformer-to-transformer, though, I usually see it transformer-to-non-sentient-machine.

...I'm probably most amused by Starscream's little device in the beginning of TFA that he uses to "overload" Megatron.

I remember that too. I just got a weird look, knowing it wasn't meant like that, but also knowing it can be soooo taken that way. Heck, I figure that 'interfacing' to them might mean either sex or file-transfer, depending on the context of the situation/conversation. But to avoid confusion in my fics, I use file-transferring as 'uplinking'.

But yeah, that would make very interesting crack.

Sidenote: A small chuckle escaped from my inner-laughter when I was watching ST: Voyager, and an alien who was mentally connected to a super-computer mentioned interfacing with Seven of Nine. It was not meant sexual, but... well lets just say the only reason I wasn't rolling on the floor was because my mom was in the room. (overly religious type)
