Not numbered simply because lj doesn't like numbering. There's twenty-two of them.

Perceptor as Megatron's treacherous Second In Command. Starscream as the quiet, slightly absent-minded Autobot Scientist.

The Robo-Smasher was an accident. Megatron didn't tell it to target the Constructicons, it was just… luck of the draw.

Slag/Beachcomber

TF:Ani – Barricade was a Decepticon who was captured by the Autobots. His partner, Jazz, gave himself up and agreed to work for the Autobots as long as they didn’t kill Barricade. Technically, they didn’t – but Prowl isn’t his partner, and Jazz hates him for that.

A Cybertronian Marching Band.

How did the Fallen become, well, fallen?

The war isn’t real – it’s just a play, dictating the ‘myth’ on how the world came to be how it is now.

Primus made a planet, and on this planet he placed thirteen people, who would share the responsibility of shaping their world. To twelve, he gave the ability to dream, to imagine, to hope. To one, he did not. The Thirteenth could see only darkness, could bring forth only nothingness. So that’s what he contributed to Cybertron, a race of ‘beings’ who are nothing, who unmake everyone they touch.

Prowl is a direct descendent of the Thirteenth – the Fallen.

A Cybertronian Dream-Catcher.

Four million years is a long time to be asleep, even for a species as long-lived as the Cybertronians. In fact, one would think that it would be long enough for a language shift, neh?

The Autobots discover the DigiWorld.

Jazz/Shockwave.

Blurr meets the Flash (preferably the Wally West version, but hey, not my story.)

Perceptor creates dragons. And unleashes them into their ‘natural habitats’.

Where did the idea of carving a symbol into oneself as a sign of loyalty come from?

The Tale of Beta, The Greatest Warrior.

Megatron/Dion.

Perceptor/Shockwave/Soundwave

Mirage lays down the law when somebody insults Hound due to their relationship.

Jazz is ferociously protective of his Special Ops agents. And he is Not Happy about the situation revolving around Mirage and Hound.

Ravage meets his maker (a.k.a. Ratchet.)

I want to see this fic NOW. Actually... *ponders* I'd like to see Skyfire come online one day and find Starscream and Perceptor switched like this, and be given the choice to either let things go back to normal and lose Starscream all over again, or keep things switched and doom Perceptor to the Decepticon life.

Oooh! I've never seen Barricade --> Prowl in Animated! Sneaky, sneaky Autobot High Command, to pull a fast one on poor Jazz. So Jazz hates Prowl for not being Barricade? And Prowl probably doesn't even remember being Barricade... hmmm...

A Cybertronian Marching Band.

HAH! Makes me think of Decepticon Day with the processing through the streets and the Teen Dance Party and everything. And let's not forget Animated Megatron's lovely parade insult to Starscream right before he fusion-cannoned him...

Oh! Oh! What about Cybertronians who are built to provide musical entertainment as their main function? So, they'd look like those one-person-band people with harmonicas and drums and cymbals and tubas sticking out everywhere and they'd make cartoony noises when they walk!

The war isn’t real – it’s just a play, dictating the ‘myth’ on how the world came to be how it is now.

So, would the specific people in the 'war' still be real, or are they just random actor Cybertronians portraying the fictional characters Optimus, Megatron, etc.?

Four million years is a long time to be asleep, even for a species as long-lived as the Cybertronians. In fact, one would think that it would be long enough for a language shift, neh?

So Megatron would try to contact Shockwave and they'd just talk gibberish back and forth at each other? XD And does this mean that the Cons on Cybertron could technically insult the Cons on Earth with spiffy new profanity, and the Cons on Earth wouldn't know what was going on?

Perceptor creates dragons. And unleashes them into their ‘natural habitats’.

Which is where?... Oh, *please* tell me that some of those dragons are *sea* dragons, and Percy sent some to go play with the Cons at their base.

Ravage meets his maker (a.k.a. Ratchet.)

Metaphorically? As in, Ravage gets wrenched upside the head or sat on or something? Or literally????? Now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever seen Soundwave/Ratchet before. And wouldn't it be smart of Soundwave to bond with a medic who would know how to take care of his cassettes, but is tough enough to discipline them. Or maybe Soundwave wasn't involved in Ravage's creation at all! That would explain why there's two bird-cassettes and two biped-cassettes and Ravage is the odd one out - he's adopted! Although that also implies that Ratbat is adopted...

Ohh, nice twist. I also want to see this fic right now. And I can't decide what I want Skyfire to choose..

Oooh! I've never seen Barricade --> Prowl in Animated! Sneaky, sneaky Autobot High Command, to pull a fast one on poor Jazz. So Jazz hates Prowl for not being Barricade? And Prowl probably doesn't even remember being Barricade... hmmm...

My thought was that they basically just erased Barricade's personality and put Prowl in, making Prowl think he was newly built. I've considered a few different ways to 'save' Barricade, but I won't go into that. ...This one was spawned from the whole 'Jazz shows off to Prowl' scene in the episode where the Elite Guard showed up. He seemed kinda... derisive to me. As though to say, 'and you don't know this?' And that lead to bitter. And, as a product of my fandom's age, I love a good Jazz/Prowl story, so...

So, would the specific people in the 'war' still be real, or are they just random actor Cybertronians portraying the fictional characters Optimus, Megatron, etc.?

Goooood question. *hasn't got a clue*

So Megatron would try to contact Shockwave and they'd just talk gibberish back and forth at each other? XD And does this mean that the Cons on Cybertron could technically insult the Cons on Earth with spiffy new profanity, and the Cons on Earth wouldn't know what was going on?

Exactly. Only, I was kinda thinking the younger ones - Shockwave might still remember the old speech patterns, but, say, Hot Rod? Probably not.

Which is where?... Oh, *please* tell me that some of those dragons are *sea* dragons, and Percy sent some to go play with the Cons at their base.

Everywhere. There's mountain dragons, forest dragons, and, yes, sea dragons. And probably quite a few others (ice dragon, anyone?), but those are the ones I know are plausible. ...I love Animal Planet.

Metaphorically? As in, Ravage gets wrenched upside the head or sat on or something? Or literally????? Now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever seen Soundwave/Ratchet before. And wouldn't it be smart of Soundwave to bond with a medic who would know how to take care of his cassettes, but is tough enough to discipline them.

Although that also implies that Ratbat is adopted...

When I first wrote it? Metaphorically. But then I decided that I would really love to see Ratchet/Soundwave myself. Or even your adopted thought, which would be so much fun.
