Ironhide X Sunstorm weirdness

[merrypaws.livejournal.com]

I had this weird dream/half-awake-chain-of-thought.

When Ironhide was young, he had a thing for wings. Not exactly a popular thing in grounder-populated areas. He met Sunstorm, who was generally shunned by other seekers, because he's a follower or Primus rather than the seekers main divinity Zephyrus (don't know where that came from, maybe another fanfic). The two oddballs hit it off, and eventually there was the patter of little pedes. LOTS of little pedes.
First litter: Optimus & Starscream
Second: Thrust
Third: Sideswipe & Sunstreaker
Fourth: Cliffjumper & Bumblebee
Fifth: Powerglide

Now, imagine this strange family history coming to public knowledge on Earth.
Grab some popcorn.

I love this idea, and the potential for chaos is making me giggle with glee. Would the 'litters' be aware of each others' origins?

Also, the fanfic you're thinking of might be from Greek'verse, specifically "Cultures Collide" by Akzeal and Xobit - Sunstorm is a priest of Zephyrus in it. Here's the link if anyone is curious:

I like to think that all the siblings know each other. A lot of the canonical interactions can actually be read as familial with just small tweaks. Like, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker have a reputation of picking on the minis, 'cause they like to tease their younger siblings. And how often has Megatron been ready to land a killing blow on Optimus or another Bot, only to be distracted by Starscream in the nick of time?

And yeah, I remember reading that. Must be where I nicked the idea of Zephyrus.

That makes sense, and from the sound of it, either the family has quite a few issues or the Autobots have a few deep-cover, high-up spies.

I'm suddenly getting the feeling that once all of this is made public, Jazz will kicking himself for not noticing this - Soundwave too. And if it's Twins/Bluestreak, Bluestreak trying to explain to Prowl and/or Jazz, "Yes, I'm not surprised because I already knew! The Twins told me once we got serious, and it's not like they would have been able to keep it a secret once we bonded anyway."
