tf_bunny_farmI don't recall reading any bunny like this before, and it would be really complicated, but the potential is outstanding.
It goes something like this.
Some of the continuities have the Decepticons starting out as freedom fighters that became corrupted. They had a just cause, and they weren’t bad bots..Given the caste system they were fighting against, I find it hard to believe that every single original Decepticon became a manipulative/violent bastard. I also find it unlikely that some of the Autobots were just willing to sit back and watch what happened or support the caste system.
So the bunny is this: A large percentage of Autobots were originally Decepticons. When they realized what was happening to the movement, they left and later ended up joining up with the Autobot movement. This is a well-known fact and most of these bots have been accepted due to the time when they deserted and their subsequent psych evaluations. In fact a lot of the high ranking Autobots were once Decepticons which is why they’re such good fighters. However, the Autobots generally avoid talking about this around humans since they don’t want to cause any sort of confusion or bad impressions.
It is also why the Autobots are willing to at least consider taking in Decepticon deserters. They've been doing it for vorns with no ill effects, why stop now?

Date: 2014-07-17 03:21 am (UTC)Such as Red Alert's constant (fanbased?) paranoia and constantly shouting 'infiltrator' - or Cliffjumper's too frequent 'Traitor'.
Like why some Bots have red optics, when everyone knows Decepticons are red-eyed, Autobots are blue optics.
Don't forget that in G1 cartoon, there were no permanent deaths. (Granted, 1980's kids show, but it's a great excuse). - and except for Megatron, it seems like none of the Autobots/Decepticons want to KILL mechs on the other side. Disable, yes. Subdue, yes. Harm ... maybe. but permanently destroy?
I like, no love, this head-cannon bunny.
No idea why I didn't see it before.
Thanks for sharing - (and if I write something based on this background, I'll do my best to link back here).
Thanks

I'd imagine that they're in the small percentage of Autobots that were never Decepticons. Most wouldn't have an issue with ex-Cons, but these two are kind of paranoid. Now that I think about it, that might be why they're so jumpy. They're surrounded by ex-Cons, and they never trusted Cons before!
Yeah, most would have their optics switched to blue, but some keep red to make a statement of some sort.
Yep, that is a good explanation for that. Megatron probably realized where the Autobots were getting their new soldiers and started killing anyone who even thought about defecting or sympathizing with said defectors.
I'm glad you like the bunny. Can't wait to see what you write!

Date: 2014-07-17 01:24 pm (UTC)What Autobots would you really want to see? I have a list I am working on but I don't want to spoil it.
The updates will be once a day maybe, at least once a week.

That's all that comes to mind at the moment. Good luck.
