So, Transformer toys coming to life. There are quite a few stories like that, but they usually involve humorous adventures (and ooc-ness), at least from what I’ve seen. I’ve been thinking about...more serious things, I guess.

Situations: There’s nobody around. A remote summer home that’s unoccupied, maybe, and they continue their war within this new environment despite troubles.

There is someone there—a non-fan who bought their house with a few boxes of toys, or picked some up for their kid, and when the toys start moving they freak out and try to kill them, or take them apart to see how they tick.

They encounter a Transformer fan—a hardcore Decepticon fan. He or she decides to help the ‘Cons win, kidnapping Autobots and even helping in interrogations and enjoying it.

If it’s literally just plastic coming to life--They don’t need fuel, but they wouldn’t have weapons, either. They’d have more problems fighting—they’re plastic, even ripping out where their spark chambers should be wouldn’t kill them. And if you consider their sparks--they don't have them anymore, how would they react?

They might have issues physically defending themselves against anything, from humans to house cats. Some of them might have gold plastic syndrome or shoddy make and fall apart. 

If they’re just mini themselves, where’d they get fuel? Would they just starve, or find alternative options? And their fighting would be more likely to harm others, so any human around would likely want to get rid of the problem. 

Other things--they might find other non/living versions of themselves; that would screw with anyone’s head. Cybertron doesn't even exist, and humans know many things about their pasts and futures. Size/continuity/timeline differences  between teammates and/or enemies.

I was honestly picturing this as bayformers, but just about anything else would work fine.
