When I first discovered this community a few weeks ago, I started writing down the bunnies as they came to me. I quickly became worried at how fast they multiplied. So I'm handing some of them off to you guys :)
1. [2007] When Starscream said, "All Decepticons mobilize" in the film, he meant all Decepticons - not just the ones on Earth.
2. [2007] Crackish. Ever wonder at all the explosions in Transformers? It's because Michael Bay is Wheeljack's holoform.
3. The "bleeping" of certain words in TV, songs, etc. is actually a Cybertronian swear word.
4. [2007] One of the Lamborghini twins is the Cassetticon of the other. It was the only way to keep them both alive.
5. [2007] Megatron suffered processor damage after being entombed in ice for ten thousand years. After being reawakened, he's %^&*ing psycho. The Decepticons are even more worried than the Autobots at this point.
6. [2007] On the other hand, Megatron's processor damage left his memory banks empty. How will that change the war?
7. [TFA] Perceptor apparently sacrificed parts of his personality to expand on the amount of information he could hold. Unfortunately, the parts of his personality that no longer exist include his deep devotion to science.
8. [TFA] Based off of the above. Perceptor's sacrifice unknowingly spelt destruction for a few Autobots: with his personality component gone, Perceptor lacks empathy. He becomes a sociopath, with little morals or regard for others.
9. ?? "It's easier to watch someone die when you know they're dying because of you."
Ratchet: "That's what you think."
10. [2007] The Fallen grabs the Allspark when it lands on Earth.
11. [2007] Mikaela gets pregnant... with a sparkling.
a. It's Sam's - the Allspark messed with his reproductive system, resulting in technorganic offspring (when Sam mates with a human female).
12. [2007] Some of the new arrivals to Earth think Sam's "purchase" of Bumblebee is evidence of slavery.
13. [G1] Both of Prowl's creators were Decepticons. "I am the reason Megatron no longer allows relationships within his officers. Because any offspring are born intellectually and physically superior... but highly unstable."
a. One was Barricade.
b. One was Soundwave.
c. One was Starscream.
d. One was Shockwave.
e. Prowl killed the other one.
14. [2007] Why does everyone make the Cybertronians gain Earth culture? The Autobots bring their traditions to NEST.
15. [G1] Prowl is the high priest... of a cult. Other members include Shockwave, Soundwave, Mirage, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Dirge, Hook, Perceptor, and Ultra Magnus.
a. Sunstorm is a heretic/heathen/infidel. So is Tracks.
b. Sunstreaker struggles with his beliefs and isn't too good at whatever the cult wants to do.
c. They can be a "good" cult or a "bad" cult.
d. AU - obviously.
16. The Autobots become fascinated with sex. Organics think about it all the time. They are determined to understand the mysterious phenomenon their allies are so obsessed with.
17. On the other hand... the Decepticons are trying to figure out how to use this against the humans.
18. [2007] Femme!Mirage's creators wanted a mech — they meant a continuation of the family line and prestige among the nobility. Mirage wears a mech frame now out of two things: first, she doesn't know how to break the news to her comrades; and second, the Decepticons will most definitely take advantage of this fact.
a. Hound/Mirage
b. Hound doesn't know either, but he wants to bond with Mirage.
19. On the other hand... femmes account for only about ten percent of the population. Wouldn't it be seen as an honor for a femme offspring to be produced?
a. People view femmes as being inferior to mechs.
b. Femmes are viewed as being blessings.
20. Going off of the above bunny: the Transformers are matriarchal. Elita One is the real leader of the Autobots. The Decepticons fight for a patriarchal society, which is why there are barely any females among them.
21. ? "There are only two things in life you can count on: death, and taxes."
?? "You've obviously never met Prime."
22. The Autobots are introduced to the Darwin Awards...
23. Transformers can't read like we can. Normally, they plug a cord into a datapad and read that way. Actually sounding out letters and things — like on road signs, for example — is unheard of.
a. This kind of explains Skids&Mudflap... nah, they just suck.
24. [2007] Can't believe this hasn't come up yet. Hot Rod/Rodimus lands on Earth.
Human: "Prime has a kid?!"
25. Perceptor: *makes Decepticons go kablooey*
Autobots/Humans: *stares*
?: And he's the pacifist? [of the Wreckers]
26. [G1] One of the twins finds out his brother is a Decepticon spy.
a. He kills himself, which kills his twin by proxy.
b. He follows his brother to the Decepticons.
c. He follows his brother to the Decepticons as an Autobot spy.
d. He does nothing.
27. Those voices Thundercracker hears are dead people. They live outside of time, and thus can kinda tell him the future. However, they can also tell him things that already happened. None can tell the difference. Everyone else thinks he's insane.
28. [G1] Someone begins referring to the Lamborghini twins as the "Egg Twins" or "Eggs." Sunnyside up and all.
29. [2007] Borrowing IDW's Code of Interplanetary Conflict. The Autobots and humans are in deep trouble... because the reverse-engineering counts as sharing Cybertronian technology with other races.
30. [G1] Semi-crackish. Teletraan-1 is a Decepticon spy.
31. [2007] Cliffjumper and Miles are friends.
32. [2007] A Transformer whose alt-mode is one of those electric toothbrushes. Please.
33. [G1] Just possessing a power doesn't give you control over it. When the gifted Transformers (e.g. Mirage, Hound, Skywarp, etc.) were sparklings, they had no control over their gifts. They had to learn control.
34. [G1] The lower class of Cybertron is much more conservative in their attitude towards interfacing, believing that it should only be done with the mech they intend to bond with. The upper class indulges in it freely. Now, considering that a majority of each class makes up the Autobot and Decepticon armies respectively...
35. The Cybertronian equivalent of allergies.
36. A Transformer is allergic to humans.
a. An Autobot.
b. A Decepticon.
c. Primus/Cybertron.
37. Every time we go to sleep, we wake up in an alternate universe with a whole new set of memories. Except one mech wakes up without his memories edited.
38. [G1] Semi-crackish. Primus and Unicron are living beings. So are "Cybertron"'s moons. They're Primus' consorts. Until Unicron got jealous in 2005...
39. [G1] Prowl experiences optical illusions and crashes. Repeatedly.
40. Plagiarism on Cybertron. One mech copying another's code is like...?
41. [G1] Starscream could possess a mech when he was a ghost. What if he had that ability in life as well?
42. [2007] The women go for a girls' night out: Mikaela, Maggie, Sarah Lennox, and Judy Witwicky. Then they run into the newly-landed female Autobots.
43. [G1] AU. At the beginning of the war, Sunstreaker joined the Decepticons as an Autobot spy under the name Spinout. No one knows that Sideswipe is "Spinout"'s twin.
a. For that matter, not even Jazz knew.
b. Or Prime.
44. [G1] Can tie in with 43. Sunstreaker's violence comes from when he was a sparkling/youngling and had to protect Sideswipe. Sideswipe grows out of his dependency on his twin, but Sunstreaker will never stop being Sideswipe's guardian.
45. [2007] The Transformers are responsible for the "Mars Curse."
46. [2007] The Tunguska Event was a Transformer landing.
47. [2007] Planet X is Unicron.
48. [2007] The Nazca lines were created in response to Seekers meeting the primitive civilizations of Earth thousands of years ago. The natives welcomed the Seekers.
49. [2007] The Witwicky family alone is immune to the radiation of the Transformers, due to a genetic effect that finding Megatron created in Archibald Witwicky's genes.
50. [2007] Simmons seemed to know a lot about Mikaela, considering that Sector Seven hadn't anticipated finding her with Sam's family. How did he know so much?
a. Simmon's car was one of the ones Mikaela helped steal.
My, what a long list of tags...
