Yeah, well Prowl might try to be a protector for Buffy to start with, until Buffy had it out with him and they settled how the whole partnership works between them.

That argumentconversation would be interesting to see. I bet Red would record it.

And I just had a thought. As a motorcycle, Prowl is really small for a Transformer. Buffy is short. There. Something for them to bond over. Of course, Buffy wouldn't have actually almost been stepped on by her friends, so maybe Prowl will win that one.

The matter of the memory spell - did it also affect digital records, to add a paper trail of Dawn's existence?

It must have since she did go to school. But would the spell only create records she would need for the short time the monks thought she'd exist? School records, but no birth/hospital records? I don't know if that was brought up in the show.

If it did, I can imagine it could affect Prowl and Red as well, but maybe it'd make an interesting aspect if they have spark memories of there being no Dawn, and are trying to reconcile it with the memories

Two sets of memories that don't completely match up. Hope Ratchet never learns of this. He may try to figure out the reason, and I doubt Prowl and Red (and the Scoobies) would be willing to reveal what Dawn really is, even to their friends.

(cue Red constantly going into paranoia fits over Dawn, at least until it's found out she's the Key).


Would that be like the mentally ill saying she's not real?


Maybe magic needs to be channeled through their sparks - that is what I've always considered the part that truly makes them alive, so going on that logic, it may also be able to handle magic - just as a different form of energy.

Good idea! Though I wonder what affect that would have on their sparks. Would it change their spark energy, infuse it with magic, perhaps enough so that Prowl and Red can be called Magical Beings, rather than just aliens? Maybe the magic would bind them to earth (and various demensions connected to earth) somehow. If the Autobots and Decepticons were to ever leave, could they follow? Would they want to after becoming so connected to the earth and her magic?

Also, regarding magic, what styles, I wonder, would they have the... nature to learn. Red, I bet, would excell in protection spells, perhaps also spells that detect oncoming danger. Prowl, I think, would be good at slightly darker spells. Don't know why. I can also see Prowl having visions, not of the future but of what's happening now. After all, he needs to know what everyone is doing if he's going to make his battle plans.

I could keep going, but Creepy Library Girl keeps announcing that the library is closing. So, I gotta go.
