Seriously, this is addicting.
1. Science and magic do not mix well.
2. Optimus and Megatron are not the leaders of their factions; the true leaders are covertly posing as ordinary Bots and Cons in order to better judge and boost morale.
3. Primus and Unicron play cards, i.e. ‘My Soundwave trumps your Blaster!’ ‘Slag!’
4. Crossover with Xanth (read Kenya Starflight’s awesome Centaur of Attention and Catacombs for example of Xanth – they’re actually Star Wars/Xanth crossovers).
5. The day that First Aid got his official license as a battlefield medic equal to Ratchet, a whole horde of Autobots realized that Ratchet’s bedside manner (or lack thereof) was not in fact normal, and they could have been having a much more comfortable time of it than they had been ever since Ratchet was assigned to the unit. With an angry Autobot army at his heels, (and footage of his tantrums leaked to TV networks, so he can’t hide out at a human hospital) Ratchet is forced to take shelter with the Cons. As it turns out, his attitude is an improvement on Hook’s (who always insisted that his role was to build things, not patch up crazy kamikaze Seekers).
So, the Cons get a medic who actually follows the Cybertronian version of the Hippocratic Oath, the Constructies get to return to their intended function, and Ratchet is gratified to find that his wrench-throwing actually reduces stupidity-induced trips to the medbay. (Actually, the Cons are so confused by their new medic violently expressing concern for their well-being that they just want to stay as far away from him as possible.) So, if/when the Bots decide they want Ratchet back… what would they do if he’s tempted to stay?
6. The volcano that the
7. Artemis Fowl encounters the Transformers.
8. “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.”
9. Primus’ and Unicron’s authority doesn’t extend to Earth. The two deities must haggle with ancient human deities (maybe Egyptian gods?) for the well-being of their race.
10. Overcharged soldiers decide to rename their faction and re-design the symbol, maybe write a motto and mission statement too. When they’re done, they change the physical symbols on their bodies, paint the new symbol on walls, set it as a screen saver on all the base screens…
11. Megatron and Optimus are found offline in a desolate area, miles from any human establishment.
12. Riddle contests.
13. Lying contests.
14. An unlikely capture.
15. Chip Chase finds out that the Autobots have technology that would let him walk, but they haven’t told him about it.
16. Energon made from Earth resources becomes toxic and loses its potency when stored for too long, making the Cons’ stashes worthless.
17. Shockwave/Autobot femme.
18. The Decepticons realize that the humans’ smaller size lets them assist with delicate repairs and thus badly-injured Autobots have little to no chance of offlining. They kidnap the Bots’ humans because they think it will be easier to gain their cooperation than to train new squishies. While the humans slowly develop Stockholm Syndrome, at least one Autobot dies who would have lived with the humans’ help.
19. “What’s going on?”
“A pouncing lesson.”
20. “You have forgotten me.”
“No… How could I?”
“You have forgotten who you are, and so have forgotten me. Look inside yourself. You are more than what you have become.”
“How can I go back? I’m not who I used to be.”
21. “Look at the stars. The great Primes of the past are up there, watching over us. So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those Primes will always be there to guide you. And so will I.”
22. Mood-altering energon.
23. What would a Disney version of Transformers be like?
24. Decepticons see/do Monty Python.
25. Exactly halfway between the Autobot and Decepticon bases, there is was a small human town.
26. Someone decides to start writing his memoirs.
27. Sunstreaker receives an anonymous art commission.
28. The planet Skyfire and Starscream visited to survey was not Earth.
29. Skyfire is sick of being the Autobot Taxi so he asks Perceptor to shrink him (just a little). Something goes wrong.
30. A game show.
31. Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.
32. Hound and Soundwave host a movie night.
33. “YOU… SHALL NOT… PAAASSSSSSSSS!!!!”
34. Some mechs just can’t pull off the innocent ‘Who, me?’ look.
35. By the time he realized that it just didn’t matter, it was too late.
36. Perceptor: “Kill them. Kill them all.”
37. ????: “No survivors.”
Skyfire: “Excellent.”
38. Someone proves that Optimus’ Matrix is nothing but a clever copy.
39. “We’re nothing more than puppets, dancing on strings… but the mech who holds the strings also has the scissors.”
40. The game is over but for one last throw of the dice.
41. Someone is suddenly very, very rich.
42. Red Alert’s glitch takes control of him… he wakes up the next morning to find that it is gone, but it managed to infect nearly every other Autobot. He and a few others must find a way to trick the Cons into helping them cure their friends.
43. Everyone assumes that Soundwave’s unusual speech pattern is a minor but annoying glitch. It is actually the symptom of a much more serious one. The cassettes have been hiding the glitch by absorbing tiny pieces of the corrupted programming as it spreads, but soon they won’t be able to continue without threatening their own mental well-being.
44. Rewind + Eject = ‘reject’. Frenzy + Rumble = ‘fumble’. Both sets of Cassettes discover this at the same time.
45. “You know I can’t answer that question.”
46. No way out.
47. “What do you mean, you can’t read?”
48. Back to the beginning.
49. The soundtrack of life.
50. What’s the opposite of nostalgia?
51. “That’s not supposed to be glowing.”
52. “What?! Snape kills Dumbledore?!?!”
53. Everyone really IS out to get Red Alert.
54. A Decepticon has an unusual glitch… he can’t lie.
55. ”Where did you get that medal?”
56. Lullaby.
57. A Decepticon tribute to the fallen (small f).
58a. Transformers and Winnie the Pooh. Optimus = Peter Cullen = Eeyore. But Dead End = Eeyore too… Rabbit = Ratchet? Tigger = Wheeljack? Honey = Energon. Decepticons = Heffalumps and Woozles!
58b. When Spike was younger and still went by the name Christopher, he and Sparkplug lived by a forest called the Hundred Acre Wood… Spike is used to having friends who are a little ‘different’. (Maybe both the Pooh animals AND the Transformers are all in his head!) OR
58c. Everyone knows that ‘Spike’ and ‘Sparkplug’ are just nicknames. Not everyone knows that Spike is adopted; Sparkplug is actually Spike’s uncle Max. Spike’s biological parents and his best friend Susie died in a car crash when he was ten, all due to skull fractures or brain injury. That’s why Spike and Sparkplug are often seen wearing hard hats even when they’re not necessary. Spike doesn’t like thinking of his previous life, and he never answers to his old name of Calvin. But one year Bumblebee has to scramble for a last-minute birthday present and all he can find is a ratty old stuffed tiger… (Can you imagine what the ‘Bots could do to the ‘Cons if they had “Calvin and Hobbes” type magic???)
59. What’s the Cybertronian version of a ‘wolf whistle’ or that thing that sounds like ‘Bow chicka bow bow!’?
60. Transformers without actual weapons – just anime-ish energy blast thingies and radioactive-looking ‘power-ups’.
61. Each Cybertronian’s paint job ‘inverts’; so Sideswipe and Sunstreaker would be green and purple respectively, with green Autobot logos; Skywarp and Thundercracker would be white-and-yellow and dark orange respectively, with yellow Decepticon logos, etc. And this would make Optimus… green and black, with purple bits and an orange helmet. Ouch. Art? Fic?
62. After the war, Starscream sues Megatron, trying to get him to pay for his therapy. (Yay ambiguous pronouns… I just realized that could mean Starscream wanting Megatron to pay for Starscream’s postwar self-esteem/abuse recovery therapy, or Starscream wanting Megatron to pay him for giving Megatron therapy during the war. Starscream the therapist… *shudders*) Hey, this could be combined with kirin_saga’s Judge Optimus idea! *ties matching bows around bunnies’ necks and stuffs them in a basket*
63. The Decepticons run out of ideas for random uber-weapons/energy sources. Soundwave gets a virus from/succumbs to and passes a virus on to the base computer so they can’t scan for human energy sources to steal from. And the Autobots are mysteriously nowhere to be found – even the
64. An annoyed Optimus stopped by Wheeljack’s lab to give him a simple but confusing assignment: Create high-friction spheres of a certain diameter which are blast-proof to such-and-such level of charge… Wheeljack constructs them (without explosions), and distributes a bagful to each Autobot, as Optimus requested. All is revealed when, before the next battle, the Prime announces that the first Autobot to somehow get one of those spheres lodged in Megatron’s fusion cannon will win a fabulous prize…
65. Get a Cybertronian in a fic (or pic) to make a ‘just ate a very sour lemon’ face.
66. For kirin_saga:
Swindle: You know, that handy microscope barrel of yours would probably sell for quite a lot in some circles. You’re lucky I like you.
Perceptor: *flatly* The *only* reason you haven’t stolen it yet is because it *doesn’t detach*.
Swindle: Yeah, that too. Now, I’ve got an absolutely fabulous idea for marketing that latest gadget of yours…
67. What would happen if Optimus died/went AWOL without the Matrix, and Megatron ordered his most dedicated underlings to steal the Matrix, and it chose one of them?
68. Skyfirus Prime.
Skyfirus: *conversationally* Isn’t it funny that you were the one who favored getting into this war, but I’ve ended up outranking you?
(conspicuously NOT Lord) Starscream: Shut up. Shut. Up. Shut. UP! This is SO. UNFAIR! It’s not like you need the extra bulk or anything either, you big lug!
Skyfirus: …Are you calling me fat? *whimpers*
69. Starscreamus Prime.
Starscreamus: Hey, Skyfire, look! I’m as big as you now! Oooohhhh, a null-ray-cannon… *flies off to test it*
Skyfire: *sigh* Well, at least I know he still has his scientific curiosity…
Megatron: *goes and cries in a corner at the fulfillment of all his nightmares*

48. Back to the beginning.
I keep hearing Disney songs in my head. But seriously, someone needs to write a time travel fic. One with Perceptor. And Skyfire. Because Skyfire and Perceptor deserve to travel through time. And possibly get lost in the time stream.
51. “That’s not supposed to be glowing.”
And everyone stared in horror at the scientist, watching as he curiously poked the shining green glob that rested on the table in front of him. "I wonder what effect an electrical current would have on the phosphorescent properties." At those words, everyone suddenly released they had somewhere else they urgently needed to be.
I can't believe I spelled phosphorescent correctly on the first try.
52. “What?! Snape kills Dumbledore?!?!”
Red Alert's a Harry Potter fan! And he was a fan of Snape! He's going to go cry in the corner now. Don't worry Red, it'll all work out. I think. *has never read Harry Potter*

My first thought was Roanoake. But the Ark vanished too... It like one of those towns that only appear for one night every hundred years. And times moves slowly in the town so a hundred years in the real world equals one day in the town.

Re: Replay Part 3

Only on the second Wednesday of every month. During leap years. When there is Queen music playing. Any other time, their cards just cancel each other out. (Unicron will rock you!)
Have you read SBX's Comfort Calling Late?
I think so. It might have been one that I stopped reading partway through because it also crossed over with a movie or book I hadn't watched/read.
My first thought was Cosmos (Poor Cosmos) but I think it would be funnier if it was one of the Twins or Optimus. Or Wheeljack.
I don't know anything about the character The Fallen (the flaming dude?), but I'd be kinda curious to see 'I've Fallen and I can't get up'. And only now do I remember that this was sort of already done, with Optimus and Megatron getting their gyros frozen in Optimus's office. I think Prowl came and got them out, then took blackmail pictures.
I almost read that as decide to rhyme their faction.
Well, I guess the motto and mission statement could rhyme. If Cybertronian epic poetry is anything like Earth's epic poetry, they might be working at it for a while.
What would be even funnier than when they wake up the next morning and see what they've done? Would be the reactions of the enemy faction to what they've done. Because you can't have a drunk army without a drunk attack.
YES! And somehow they manage to fight better when drunk than when sober. *can totally see this happening to Decepticons*
A simple riddle, but would a Cybertronian think of the answer?
Prowl's logic processors say no. And then go spark, spark, fizzle. Again.
Speaking of that particular riddle... There needs to be serious consequences to answering wrong.
*ponders*
...I want to see a Cybertronian with a sphinx alt mode. Or a transforming gestalt with a sphinx alt mode, if that would be closer to the Egyptian one size-wise.
This thing all things devours, birds, beasts, trees, flowers; gnaws iron, bites steel; grinds hard stone to meal, slays king, ruins town, and beats high mountains down.
"Time! Time!" Someone should tell this riddle to Megatron. He'd think it was a new uber-weapon and go crazy trying to find out what it is, instead of thinking laterally. And he'd be SO mad when he finds out the answer.
Whoever writes this one, Here is a good page of riddles.
*tries to resist but is dragged in*
Perceptor would win. He acts so sweet and innocent, no one would expect that he's a liar.
Would this hidden potential be of use to the Cons, if they were to find out about it?
Someone has watched The Lion King. *wonders who would be Simba* Hot Rod? Mufasa = Optimus? Rafiki = Kup? *pictures Kup as a baboon* *giggles*
I haven't watched it in ages. I don't know what made me think of it... But then Optimus would DIE! (which... is not that unusual.) Hmmm... and Simba Rod would become Rodimus. (This is starting to make too much sense.) But then Megatron would be Scar? And he would be Optimus' brother and Hot Rod's uncle, and Arcee would be Nala. Zazu = Perceptor? Red Alert? What about Timon and Pumbaa? *wants to see art of Kup-baboon SO BADLY NOW* Hmmm, what if the Ark had crashed into an odd formation of rocks where talking lions live?
"... Honey, I shrunk the shuttle!"
Does Perceptor's shrinky-thing work in reverse? I thought an Omega-Supreme-or-bigger size Skyfire might be amusing. 'Let's see Optimus try to boss me around NOW!' Wonder how Starscream would react? I'd also like to see his reaction if Skyfire was suddenly his size or smaller.
Something Old - Kup. Something New - First Aid. Something Borrows - Hook. Something Blue - Ultra Magnus.
Ultra Magnus: "So we were kidnapped to be part of some strange bonding ritual?"
Everyone else: *nods*
Kup: "You know, this reminds me of the time on..."
*gigglesnort* Just one thing... if Hook is 'borrowed', then he might not have been kidnapped - the other Constructicons must have loaned him out with the understanding that he would be returned. And Kup, what could this possibly remind you of? Wait, maybe I don't want to know.

And only now do I remember that this was sort of already done, with Optimus and Megatron getting their gyros frozen in Optimus's office. I think Prowl came and got them out, then took blackmail pictures.
I remember that fic! *loves that fic*
YES! And somehow they manage to fight better when drunk than when sober. *can totally see this happening to Decepticons*
I've been picturing the Autobots the whole time but you're right. This should totally happen to the Decepticons.
...I want to see a Cybertronian with a sphinx alt mode. Or a transforming gestalt with a sphinx alt mode, if that would be closer to the Egyptian one size-wise.
That would be interesting to see.
"Time! Time!" Someone should tell this riddle to Megatron. He'd think it was a new uber-weapon and go crazy trying to find out what it is, instead of thinking laterally. And he'd be SO mad when he finds out the answer.
That would so funny! And a few Decepticons who do know the answer would just sit back and (silently) laugh while makes a fool of himself.
Would this hidden potential be of use to the Cons, if they were to find out about it?
It could be. They'd probably have to bribe him though.

I'm not sure if Perceptor should be Zazu. Maybe... Kiara (that the name of Simba's daughter, right?) Red Alert as Zazu might work. Timon - Smokescreen? Pumba - Sludge? *hugs Baboon!Kup*
Baboon!Kup: "You know, this reminds me of that time on Rigel IV..."

Skyfire: *hanging from Starscream's fingers* *is annoyed* "Put me down right now, Starscream."

Skyfire: *smirks* *reaches down and picks him up* "You know, I think I'll keep you."
Starscream: *cries*
Perceptor: *watches for a moment* "Hmmmm. I wonder what effect this device would have on Omega Supremem..." *thinks* "Maybe I should shrink him?" *wanders off*
Omega Supreme: *feeling of impending doom*
*gigglesnort* Just one thing... if Hook is 'borrowed', then he might not have been kidnapped - the other Constructicons must have loaned him out with the understanding that he would be returned.
Well, everyone else was kidnapped. And I bet Hook is going to find a way to get back at the other Constructicons for loaning him out like a thing.
And Kup, what could this possibly remind you of? Wait, maybe I don't want to know.
Kup: "It reminds me of the time on Siri V. Shotgun wedding were the norm there. In fact, the only ones who were not kidnapped for those weddings was the father. He was the one doing the kidnapping, you see..." *rambles on*

Although the way my brain works it's entirely possible that it was plagiarized from someone by accident. *winces* But actually, would Cybertronians even have scissors? We humans usually use them to cut organic-based stuff, like paper...

Dramatically. With thunder.
So he has to con the 'Cons? Excellent. *hopes someone writes this*
*also hopes* I wonder, though, if he wouldn't at first think 'It's about time that they understood...Maybe if I leave them like this for a while...'. I'd love to see what Red Alert is really capable of without the glitch holding him back. Or if it would benefit him at all to pretend he still has the glitch when he doesn't (which he might be doing even now, to make people underestimate him). And what if the glitch is only dormant because he subconsciously knows that he's in no danger from other glitchy mechs, but when they're back to normal his glitch will reactivate? And what if he knows this?
Poor Cassettes! *hugs Reject and Fumble*
I was thinking more along the lines of discovering it on the battlefield and finding a new way to insult their counterparts. But a little bout of parent-child 'Why did you have to name us that' would not be amiss.

Do they get a DeLorian or a train? (Astrotrain!) I saw Wheeljack steal Astrotrain for a time travel experiment in a fic, but what if Megatron didn't try to get him back until it was too late?
I can't believe I spelled phosphorescent correctly on the first try.
*cheers and gives cookies and confetti*
Red Alert's a Harry Potter fan! And he was a fan of Snape! He's going to go cry in the corner now. Don't worry Red, it'll all work out. I think. *has never read Harry Potter*
It does sort of work out, but if he's a fan of Snape then he might still be very upset by the time everything is over. *hugs Red* Red probably would admire characters who are practically never caught off-guard and are always prepared, but don't have to be paranoid. And Snape isn't really a man to trust either... (cages 'Transformers and their favorite Harry Potter characters' bunny) Although Red might be more a fan of Mad-Eye Moody and his 'Constant Viligance'... (locks cage).
Though if you've never read Harry Potter then none of this will make sense to you. Sorry.
"I like big Bots and I cannot lie."
Oh dear. Megatron might actually keep this Con around despite the glitch, if only for the sheer entertainment value.
"Hush little sparkling, don't you cry. Creator's gonna sing you a lullaby."
Or, it could be a cat. I have a cat named Lullaby.
So who's singing? And who's being sung to?
Kitty! I love cats! What does Lullaby look like? If I ever get around to fic-writing I will want a cat in somewhere and I might borrow yours, if that's ok.

but what if Megatron didn't try to get him back until it was too late?
Astrotrain would suddenly find himself in Ancient Greece with Skyfire and Perceptor, before being made to fly to Cybertron, which has just entered the Golden Age.
... And now I really want to see Skyfire, Perceptor, and Astrotrain on an adventure together.
Although Red might be more a fan of Mad-Eye Moody and his 'Constant Viligance'... (locks cage).
I forgot about Mad-Eyed Moody! He and Red Alert would be friends for life and would have so much fun comparing conspiracy theories! And I bet Red Alert would have been the first person to realize he'd been replaced.
Though if you've never read Harry Potter then none of this will make sense to you. Sorry.
I've never read the books, but I've seen a few of the movies and I've read fan fiction, so it did make sense. I just wasn't able to get interested enough to read the books.
Oh dear. Megatron might actually keep this Con around despite the glitch, if only for the sheer entertainment value.
And he'd assign Reflector (and possibly a Cassette or two) to follow him around to record/take pictures of everything he does and says.
So who's singing? And who's being sung to?
Perceptor. Though I can't decide if he's singing to his sparkling or if his creator is singing to him.
Kitty! I love cats! What does Lullaby look like? If I ever get around to fic-writing I will want a cat in somewhere and I might borrow yours, if that's ok.
Lullaby is a light grey tabby with a bit of pale orange. Her tail always curls a bit over her back. He doesn't like to be held or picked up and I think she only tolerates us because we feed her.
And if you ever do write a fic, you're more than welcome to include her!

Tea Cup & Kettle
Cybertronians drink tea!!! Yes! *imagines all Transformers with British accents*
... And now I really want to see Skyfire, Perceptor, and Astrotrain on an adventure together.
Me too. Because Skyfire and Astrotrain can have a bonding experience over unwilling taxi-ness. And Perceptor is just along for the awesome.

Gahhh... there's something that happens in the last book that I want to bring up but now I can't! *pouts*
And if you ever do write a fic, you're more than welcome to include her!
*grin* Thanks! Maybe I'll have Perceptor adopt her or something...

Date: 2008-08-01 10:13 pm (UTC)*loves that picture* I was a bit worried that no one would get this one. I wish Bill Watterson had made more C&H. Do you get a newspaper that has the Frazz comic? The main character is the teenage-ish janitor of an elementary school, who has spiky blond hair and likes jogging and biking (maybe Calvin's dad rubbed off on him?). And his girlfriend looks very much like a grown-up Susie.
My first thought was Roanoake. But the Ark vanished too... It like one of those towns that only appear for one night every hundred years. And times moves slowly in the town so a hundred years in the real world equals one day in the town.
Oooh! And since the Bots keep going in and out of the Ark on patrol and missions and stuff, they would never notice that it was always the same day in there... And it would explain how all the Bots and Cons stayed in stasis and easily revivable for millions of years. Pretty, pretty bunny... *mesmerized*
*stares at bunny* *loves* *tries to think of plot to go with lovely, lovely conversation*
*holds up adorable bunny with red velvet bow and soft, soft fur and big, shiny eyes...* Do bunnies purr?
RUMBLE! RUMBLIMUS PRIME! *stares at cute little Prime*
Either normal-cassette-size Rumblimus or HUGE Rumblimus that is suddenly as big as Megatron would be So. Awesome. Oh, those other Cons would regret teasing the 'tiny' Cassettes... How would Frenzy and the other cassettes and Soundwave feel about this? If Rumblimus had to defect to the Autobots, would they follow?
Wanna bet I made it to three-comment-length too?

Pretty, pretty bunny... *mesmerized*
Bunnies are good at hypnotizing people. *thinks* *writes down new bunny* They are also impossible to escape from.
*holds up adorable bunny with red velvet bow and soft, soft fur and big, shiny eyes...* Do bunnies purr?
I do plan to write it. I just have to figure out if I can work it into a fic I'm already working on, or if it needs it's own fic. If the latter, I need to finish my current fics first.
...And I don't know if bunnies purr. Real bunnies don't, but plot bunnies are strange creatures. I swear I saw one with fangs the other day.
Either normal-cassette-size Rumblimus or HUGE Rumblimus that is suddenly as big as Megatron would be So. Awesome. Oh, those other Cons would regret teasing the 'tiny' Cassettes...

I like the idea of a tiny Prime, but even if he didn't grow, everyone would regret making fun of him. And I think Soundwave would follow his 'children' to Hell and back. The question is the other Cassettes would be willing. Then Soundwave would be torn over who to go with.
