Why do bunnies absolutely love bombarding/mobbing you all at once? No, seriously, for about two weeks I only came up with about six bunnies then the rest just jumped me in the past two days.
1. TF:A. Ratchet and Fanzone interaction. Because they’re both grumpy old men. And because Fanzone’s first reaction to the scene in Garbage In, Garbage Out was to tell the human to stop harassing the Autobot.
2. Sunstreaker, Tracks and Sundor get together. And have a contest to see who’s the prettiest in the land. Could also add in other vain (canon or not) in if you’d like.
3. Cybertronians always knew humans were weird, just never how weird.
Perceptor: “You’re making a common frozen treat traditionally made with cream and egg yolk using liquid nitrogen?”
4. Assuming the fact that the cassettes are all Soundwave’s children, and just how slagging many there are, there has to be more than one partner to spawn them all. Because there’s a crap load of them; Beastbox, Buzzsaw, Enemy, Flip Sides, Frenzy, Garboil, Glit, Howlback, Laserbeak, Overkill, Ratbat, Ravage, Rumble, Squawktalk, Wingthing and Sundor. (Well, technically Wingthing isn’t a cassette, he’s a weapon, but he’s still one of Sounder’s minions.) And that’s not including any of the Autobot cassettes either.
5. In Dinobot logic dinosaur form = Dinobot. So when the Dinobots meet the dinosaur cassettes Dial and Saur, they decide to adopt them in as little brothers. There’s just the little problem of the dinosaur Decepticon cassettes to deal with now.
6. The timer mechanism in Flip Sides finally goes off and she changes to her true, Decepticon, personality. So, who exactly is Flip Sides? Does she feel cheated that she’s lost all those millions of years living a lie, not to mention her friends and comrades?
7. Garboil is the Decepticon propagandist. For some reason, I find Smokescreen filling that role for the Autobots.
9. I’ve heard of evil twins from different universes and all, but this ( Glit ) is ridiculous. And I don’t know if it’s just me or not, but Glit sounds an awful lot like my favorite medic. Most likely, it's just me.
10. Movie verse. Using the logic that all Transformers spawned from the All Spark are violent beings before they’re introduced to the Matrix, does that mean that everyone is Decepticon in origin, or is it simply that all Decepticons are Transformers that haven’t been exposed to the Matrix yet? If the last one is the case, and they would all become vastly different mechs after the Matrix, what would happen if they were all rounded up and shown the light, so to speak?
11. Smokescreen’s a con artist and a gambler not a psychologist, Ratchet is, he’d like everyone to remember that.
12. Could go with other bunnies about the Autobots acquiring members made exclusively for battles and sea and their not so open attitude towards them. I just find it incredibly ironic that the Decepticons have an entire team just for sea battles. Seacons.
13. Another water themed bunny. What if the Transformers had to land on a planet that was either almost entirely covered by water, or the only land was the stations built by the natives?
14. Yet another water bunny. Since water is so scarce as to be considered a mythical substance on Cybertron, when the bots first came to Earth and it rained for the first time (most likely down poured in a massive thunderstorm with their luck) the poor things must have completely freaked out.
15. With the technology to become six changers, does that mean that the ability to become a triple changer will be more common place? And what about four and five changers, it was hard enough to become a triple and six changer when the technology first came out so you could only think that you couldn’t just leap from the level of a triple to a six without at least SOME experimenting in between.
16. Transformer shikigami, because someone has to keep track of all the wayward sparks floating around and making sure they end up in the right place.
17. Movie verse fuzors and transmetals. Would be interesting if the fuzors weren’t organic, but instead a combination of different vehicles. Think of it as perhaps a triple changer gone wrong.
18. Turns out, Sam’s parents sold his soul to the devil. Now he’s a Reaper. Could or could not follow the actual plot of the show. Because their reaction to a demon in Sam’s kitchen, helping him cook and purring, of all things, would be priceless. And Miles would most likely be a lot like Sock, thinking that it was the absolutely coolest thing in the world.
19. One of those reality meshing things, only a little different. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe meet their counterpart from another universe, a mech whose spark didn’t split.
20. With all those bunnies about magic and the fact that magic is a part of Transformers canon, I now have an image stuck in my head of the Stunticons, of all bots, trying out magic wands and putting on the Sorting Hat. Would somehow be truly fitting if they ended up in different Houses, with Motormaster in Hufflepuff because he is bound and determined to become the undisputed King of the Road if it’s the last thing he does.
21. Not all Seekers joined the Decepticons, some joined the Autobots. The fact that there aren’t any flyers could be the fact that they reformatted themselves into ground vehicles because their beliefs were so strong.
22. The Seekers may have little regard for the human pilots, but they can’t help but be impressed and respect the skills of pilots landing on an aircraft carrier, especially in the middle of the night in turbulent waters. Because while aircraft do have sensors to help the pilots land, those sensors really don’t like moving targets and are basically useless.
23. They say, no matter what the craft, that you can only make your true masterpiece only once. After that, you’ll never reach that same level again, come close, yes, but nothing else will compare.
24. Stepford Wives. Every culture has its stereotypes. So what would the Cybertronian stereotypes for the perfect mate be? What other stereotypes would their society have?
25. Many, many Transformers have glitches. My question is at what point do they become socially unacceptable? Are there any that are immediately classified as such, no matter how minor they are?
26. Cybertronian drinking songs. Because what fandom is complete without drinking songs?
To the cube I go,
To heal my spark and drown my woes.
To the cube I go,
Acid rains may fall and solar winds may blow,
And many vuns be still to go.
*sounds of dancing, whistling and celebrating going on*
*then music slows down to a somber tone, or as my Mom put it, like everyone suddenly became sober*
But under a tall Spire I would lie,
And watch the Seekers go sailing by
*music picks up again ‘till end of song*
*lyrics based on Tolkien music.
27. Since nanites are really, really tiny robots, and Transformers are robots, does that mean there could be a nanite Transformer, or maybe a regular sized Cybertronian made of Transformer nanites in a communal/symbiotic type of way like Hunters in Halo?
28. Blades is to First Aid as Twins are to Ratchet. Found it on Blades wiki profile, made me laugh like mad, do with it what you will.
29. Sometimes First Aid likes to steal Groove's pacifism and run off with it. This was found on Groove’s wiki profile.
30. Sparkride. My mind went to the gutter reading that name, and I feel extremely sorry for the bot that has it.
31. “You know things are going badly when you find yourself in Silent Hill with an air conditioner as your only companion.” (First Aid wiki profile) Either people from this journal are editing wiki profiles or we aren’t the only psychics out there.
32. Someone out there has a very severe glitch. Basically, they black out for a time, remembering nothing of that period. It can range anywhere from two seconds to two days. The reason no one notices at first, and why the bot never goes to the medics, is that at first, for a long while, it is only a few seconds and during these black outs the mech in question acts no different than usual. It’s not until these periods grow much longer do they become an issue. Especially when the bot makes a very personal promise to someone during a black out and inadvertently breaks it.
33. Still, flying alongside him (Fireflight) is definitely unnerving to the other Aerialbots; "Sometimes I wonder whose side he's on," says Skydive. Fireflight is secretly working for the Decepticons.
34. One of the Stunticons (other than Motormaster) finds a way to safely undo the gestalt programming.
35. The main reason Menasor isn’t the ultimate warrior like he’s suppose to be is because of the great depth of loathing the four limb components feel towards Motormaster has created a primal psychological rift and left Menasor an unpredictable mass of conflicting, chaotic impulses. So that means if they replace Motormaster with someone the others could work with, then the problem would be fixed and the Decepticons would have their ultimate warrior. Now, the question is, who would they replace him with?
36. I wonder how Motormaster must feel about Nemesis Prime.
37. “I think you ought to know I’m feeling very depressed.” Don’t know if this ones been posted before or not.
38. I’d like to see a fic where Soundwave normally has ALL (16 that I know of) the Con cassettes with him. Could go with 4 or just be a separate fic.
39. Soundwave destroyed Ratbat's original body, placing his spark into a relatively weak cassette form and thus forcing him into the Decepticons. Since he was forced into the Decepticons by Soundwave, would that mean that if his original form wasn’t destroyed, he’d have joined the Autobots?
40. Soundwave has only used is Shoulder Cannon once. Why is that? He’s also labeled as a scientist on the Transformers wiki.
41. “If you look closely, Soundwave's head resembles the Decepticon insignia while the Autobot insignia resembles Prowl's, possibly indicating they might have been considered the leaders of their factions early in the Transformers development process.” Trivia on Soundwave’s wiki profile. If they were leaders of the army, then what positions would Megatron and Optimus/Orion have? Also, does that make Prowl, Prowlimus Prime?
42. Is it possible for Soundwave to use his telepathy to ‘teach’ someone? As in a mass download that would normally be impossible, or having someone instantly learn a new language?
43. Going with the non-organic origin of Cybertron. Does Cybertron have fossils, and if not, how would the Transformers react to something like million year old bones? Since they use their dead in some fashion or another, whether it’s internment or use as spar parts, there aren’t exactly going to be bodies lying around to study how their ancestors lived, so how DO they study their ancient past?
44. “Decepticon Brawl laughs so rarely that when he does, it comes out as a creepy, creaking wheeze. Still, the one thing that amuses him to no end is watching Rescue Ratchet rush around a battlefield trying to save as many lives as possible. With the Autobots putting every last ounce of energy into snatching the All Spark, Decepticon Brawl finds himself in a target rich environment. It amuses him to place his shots for maximum damage, scattering wounded in every direction, so he can watch the Autobot medic run himself ragged.” Like one of those “he only picks on you because he likes you” scenarios. So, Ratchet/Brawl anyone? *crickets chirp* Just me then? *pouts*
45. It is said that Swoop’s alt mode is terrifying to Transformers, why exactly is that, what part of that particular dinosaur makes it so terrible?
46. “Hello Me, it’s Me again.”
47. Going with that one bunny about how language changes over time. Because they’re so long lived it may take a lot longer for their language to change into something completely new. So maybe when Megatron contacts Shockwave after his four million year nap, what Shockwave is hearing would be something a lot like Old English (Shakespeare or whatever) to us. It’s the same language, and you can understand it, it just takes a moment to decipher it is all. Forsooth and prithee and speaking in a circular fashion and all that.
48. If each Transformer were to choose a mythical creature as an alt mode, what would they be? Here’s a long list of what I think they’d be.
Choices made on information from the book Magickal, Mystical Creatures.
Optimus=Ch’i-lin
Prowl=Chinese lion-dog
Jazz=Pegasus/Quetzalcoatl (These are both very culture oriented creatures, and as much as I love the dear plumed serpent, I like the picture of a pure white, or silver, Pegasus wearing a blue visor)
Ratchet=Phoenix/Horned Snake(Oniont) (The image of him as a phenomenal healer but looking like a terrifying monster that scares people away at sight is hilarious)
Wheeljack=Papillon (because I really like the idea of him as a fire breathing horse XD)
Perceptor=Zaltys (little completely ordinary looking guardian snakes.)
Mirage=Sleipnir/Sphinx (Sphinx because “One who likes to challenge people on intellectual levels, then verbally tear them to pieces if they prove to be “less” intelligent. A person who practices “one-up-manship”.)
Hound=Hound of the Wild Hunt/Cu Sith
Ironhide=Gargoyle
Megatron=Hydra/White Serpent of China (Hydra, because the damn thing just won’t die and the serpent because it’s a demanding type of monster that wants their way in all things.)
Starscream=Thunder bird/Arabian Ruhk
Thundercracker=Hraesvleg
Skywarp=Raven/Coyote/Fwooper
Soundwave=Chimera/Manticore
Shockwave=Griffin
Rumble/Frenzy=Gremlins
Ravage=winged panther
Deadend=The Black Dog (also known as the Grim) (and I quote from the book “a person who always sees the worst in every situation and never fails to tell everyone who will listen.”) If that doesn’t describe Deadend then I don’t know what does.
49. Soundwave would like to know one thing, why does everyone consider him the mother, hasn’t anyone heard of single, working fathers before? Just because he carries the cassettes and cares for them doesn’t mean he was the CARRIER of their sparks, slag it all.
50. A really, really disturbing thought I had the other day (and not really much of a bunny, could be if you wanted it, but more of a discussion), and I can’t believe I’m actually posting this but; because Transformers don’t reproduce in the way we do and thus have no need to worry about abnormalities because of having offspring with certain close relations, what exactly would a Transformer consider incest? Because I’m morbidly curious what everyone’s response will be. And that loud cracking noise you just heard was my brain breaking because I was thinking of Soundwave and his cassettes and it absolutely refused to go along with that particular train of thought any longer. (At least not alone)
51. On a slightly happier note. The war is over, now what does everyone do? They’ve been fighting for over 9 million years, some have never known anything but the war, so how does everyone go back to living like a civilian? Or, do some even want to stop fighting? They’re good at fighting, they know what to do and are comfortable with it, why would they want to change that? Perhaps in a don’t want to acknowledge/think about what they’ve done to survive kind of way.
52. Can Transformers get hiccups? Cause I’ve heard of the term hiccup in the line, and there are a lot of lines in a Cybertronians body, and I think I sort’ve answered my own question. So, in this case, what would a hiccup be like for a Transformer?
53. A Transformer capturing one of the wild animals of Cybertron and taming it as a pet.
54. Starscream as a successful leader of the Decepticons. It wouldn’t take much really, he has good ideas, it’s just that he needs to be a little more patient and not so egotistical. Plus, thinking things through would help, a lot.
55. Even though the Decepticons think of us as nothing more than insects and want to destroy our planet, there would still be those of us who would not only work with them, besides some warlords or such who would to get what they want, but just regular people (civilians). Because humans are weird contradictory creatures like that.
56. Going with the bunny that says the Ark in a mental hospital. Some of the glitches the patients have are rather obvious, like Red Alert’s paranoia and Optimus Prime’s martyr syndrome. But what I’d like to know, is what are the rest of the patients in for? And if every single one of them are the patients, then where in the Pit are the doctors? They’re the Decepticons, you tell me? Tsk, tsk Decepticons, you lost your patients and now they started a war on an alien planet, you’re not turning out to be very good doctors. After all, the patients think they’re the mythical Autobot heroes from legend and they need some sort of victim to save from the doctors/evil Decepticon warriors. The poor Cons, now they have to deal with patients with weapons and an entire world filled with fragile life forms that think the Cons are out to destroy them, thanks to the Bots getting there first and telling the “history” of Cybertron to them, when they simply want to leave the planet before they squish anything by accident and round up their patients so they can just go home.
57. In just about every fic I’ve seen where Sam becomes the All Spark it’s either one of two things; he brings machines to life by touch alone or he somehow carries the spark within himself (usually after he’s become a Cybertronian himself). Lets mix it up a little, instead of him being the sole carrier, why isn’t he able to implant a new spark in other mechs? After all, it would make much more sense that way, instead of one carrier producing a single new spark you would have many carry a new mechling. That’s kind of why in nature there’s one alpha male with a large group of females. Possibly make him into a Transformer if you wanted.
58. Dreams are odd things, just a sequence of images that appear involuntarily to the mind of somebody who is sleeping, often a mixture of real and imaginary characters, places, and events. It’s a little disturbing when you dream of a single person you care for dying, but it’s only a dream, right? It’s not until that person dies that someone would become concerned. Especially when there are more dreams, each featuring a person close to you. Even more so if in one of them, you have to kill the person for their own good.
59. All life on Cybertron was destroyed in a flash. So quickly that no one even realized they’re dead.
60. The worst punishment an immortal person can face is an eternity of boredom.
61. What with everyone, even the Decepticons, complaining about the optic searing orange color the Ark is, the Autobots decide to do a little redecorating.
62. In some cultures on Earth, the inclusion of personal effects is motivated by the belief that when a person dies, their possessions (and sometimes people connected to them such as wives) should go with them out of loyalty or ownership. Perhaps that’s the reason bonded cannot live without the other, not because of the pain of the bond breaking, but because of either loyalty or the fact that one owns the other.
63. “Wish I didn’t know now, what I didn’t know then.”
64. We all know there’s energon that’s like alcohol to them, but is there an energon type that’s like caffeine to them?
65. “Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap.” XD. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.
66. Sick of being sick.
67. What with the organic fuels and alternate sources of energy I was wondering if Transformers had a version of alternate medicines like we do. You know, like herbs and brews and potions and other things like that.
68. How exactly can you tell the different ranks in the Transformers armies anyway? The only symbols, outside of movie verse, the bots have are the factions.
60. I have one red optic and one blue optic. The blue optic sees truth, but the red optic sees much, much more.
70. If somebody didn’t do something soon, they were going to have a catastrophe on their hands.
70. Starscream’s wing had gone missing.
‘Cause I read a sword wrong and wig became wing, which confused me a great deal.
72. ???? Was the runt of the family, born small and ill-favored, and by the time they were grown, they were still small and ill-favored.
73. The first time I saw him, he painted a hex sign on my right arm, and I couldn’t move my fingers for three cycles.
74. Like anything else, the armed forces is full of its own unique jargon and nicknames for anything and everything like jar heads and puddle pirates. So, what are some of the nicknames and the like in the Decepticon and Autobot armies?
75. Soundwave/Rodimus Prime.
Still not sure I did all the tags right. *grumbles*
1. TF:A. Ratchet and Fanzone interaction. Because they’re both grumpy old men. And because Fanzone’s first reaction to the scene in Garbage In, Garbage Out was to tell the human to stop harassing the Autobot.
2. Sunstreaker, Tracks and Sundor get together. And have a contest to see who’s the prettiest in the land. Could also add in other vain (canon or not) in if you’d like.
3. Cybertronians always knew humans were weird, just never how weird.
Perceptor: “You’re making a common frozen treat traditionally made with cream and egg yolk using liquid nitrogen?”
4. Assuming the fact that the cassettes are all Soundwave’s children, and just how slagging many there are, there has to be more than one partner to spawn them all. Because there’s a crap load of them; Beastbox, Buzzsaw, Enemy, Flip Sides, Frenzy, Garboil, Glit, Howlback, Laserbeak, Overkill, Ratbat, Ravage, Rumble, Squawktalk, Wingthing and Sundor. (Well, technically Wingthing isn’t a cassette, he’s a weapon, but he’s still one of Sounder’s minions.) And that’s not including any of the Autobot cassettes either.
5. In Dinobot logic dinosaur form = Dinobot. So when the Dinobots meet the dinosaur cassettes Dial and Saur, they decide to adopt them in as little brothers. There’s just the little problem of the dinosaur Decepticon cassettes to deal with now.
6. The timer mechanism in Flip Sides finally goes off and she changes to her true, Decepticon, personality. So, who exactly is Flip Sides? Does she feel cheated that she’s lost all those millions of years living a lie, not to mention her friends and comrades?
7. Garboil is the Decepticon propagandist. For some reason, I find Smokescreen filling that role for the Autobots.
9. I’ve heard of evil twins from different universes and all, but this ( Glit ) is ridiculous. And I don’t know if it’s just me or not, but Glit sounds an awful lot like my favorite medic. Most likely, it's just me.

27. Since nanites are really, really tiny robots, and Transformers are robots, does that mean there could be a nanite Transformer, or maybe a regular sized Cybertronian made of Transformer nanites in a communal/symbiotic type of way like Hunters in Halo?
28. Blades is to First Aid as Twins are to Ratchet. Found it on Blades wiki profile, made me laugh like mad, do with it what you will.
29. Sometimes First Aid likes to steal Groove's pacifism and run off with it. This was found on Groove’s wiki profile.
30. Sparkride. My mind went to the gutter reading that name, and I feel extremely sorry for the bot that has it.

So maybe when Megatron contacts Shockwave after his four million year nap, what Shockwave is hearing would be something a lot like Old English (Shakespeare or whatever) to us. It’s the same language, and you can understand it, it just takes a moment to decipher it is all. Forsooth and prithee and speaking in a circular fashion and all that.
48. If each Transformer were to choose a mythical creature as an alt mode, what would they be? Here’s a long list of what I think they’d be.
Choices made on information from the book Magickal, Mystical Creatures.
Optimus=Ch’i-lin
Prowl=Chinese lion-dog
Jazz=Pegasus/Quetzalcoatl (These are both very culture oriented creatures, and as much as I love the dear plumed serpent, I like the picture of a pure white, or silver, Pegasus wearing a blue visor)
Ratchet=Phoenix/Horned Snake(Oniont) (The image of him as a phenomenal healer but looking like a terrifying monster that scares people away at sight is hilarious)
Wheeljack=Papillon (because I really like the idea of him as a fire breathing horse XD)
Perceptor=Zaltys (little completely ordinary looking guardian snakes.)
Mirage=Sleipnir/Sphinx (Sphinx because “One who likes to challenge people on intellectual levels, then verbally tear them to pieces if they prove to be “less” intelligent. A person who practices “one-up-manship”.)
Hound=Hound of the Wild Hunt/Cu Sith
Ironhide=Gargoyle
Megatron=Hydra/White Serpent of China (Hydra, because the damn thing just won’t die and the serpent because it’s a demanding type of monster that wants their way in all things.)
Starscream=Thunder bird/Arabian Ruhk
Thundercracker=Hraesvleg
Skywarp=Raven/Coyote/Fwooper
Soundwave=Chimera/Manticore
Shockwave=Griffin
Rumble/Frenzy=Gremlins
Ravage=winged panther
Deadend=The Black Dog (also known as the Grim) (and I quote from the book “a person who always sees the worst in every situation and never fails to tell everyone who will listen.”) If that doesn’t describe Deadend then I don’t know what does.
49. Soundwave would like to know one thing, why does everyone consider him the mother, hasn’t anyone heard of single, working fathers before? Just because he carries the cassettes and cares for them doesn’t mean he was the CARRIER of their sparks, slag it all.
50. A really, really disturbing thought I had the other day (and not really much of a bunny, could be if you wanted it, but more of a discussion), and I can’t believe I’m actually posting this but; because Transformers don’t reproduce in the way we do and thus have no need to worry about abnormalities because of having offspring with certain close relations, what exactly would a Transformer consider incest? Because I’m morbidly curious what everyone’s response will be. And that loud cracking noise you just heard was my brain breaking because I was thinking of Soundwave and his cassettes and it absolutely refused to go along with that particular train of thought any longer. (At least not alone)
51. On a slightly happier note. The war is over, now what does everyone do? They’ve been fighting for over 9 million years, some have never known anything but the war, so how does everyone go back to living like a civilian? Or, do some even want to stop fighting? They’re good at fighting, they know what to do and are comfortable with it, why would they want to change that? Perhaps in a don’t want to acknowledge/think about what they’ve done to survive kind of way.
52. Can Transformers get hiccups? Cause I’ve heard of the term hiccup in the line, and there are a lot of lines in a Cybertronians body, and I think I sort’ve answered my own question. So, in this case, what would a hiccup be like for a Transformer?
53. A Transformer capturing one of the wild animals of Cybertron and taming it as a pet.
54. Starscream as a successful leader of the Decepticons. It wouldn’t take much really, he has good ideas, it’s just that he needs to be a little more patient and not so egotistical. Plus, thinking things through would help, a lot.
55. Even though the Decepticons think of us as nothing more than insects and want to destroy our planet, there would still be those of us who would not only work with them, besides some warlords or such who would to get what they want, but just regular people (civilians). Because humans are weird contradictory creatures like that.
56. Going with the bunny that says the Ark in a mental hospital. Some of the glitches the patients have are rather obvious, like Red Alert’s paranoia and Optimus Prime’s martyr syndrome. But what I’d like to know, is what are the rest of the patients in for? And if every single one of them are the patients, then where in the Pit are the doctors? They’re the Decepticons, you tell me? Tsk, tsk Decepticons, you lost your patients and now they started a war on an alien planet, you’re not turning out to be very good doctors. After all, the patients think they’re the mythical Autobot heroes from legend and they need some sort of victim to save from the doctors/evil Decepticon warriors. The poor Cons, now they have to deal with patients with weapons and an entire world filled with fragile life forms that think the Cons are out to destroy them, thanks to the Bots getting there first and telling the “history” of Cybertron to them, when they simply want to leave the planet before they squish anything by accident and round up their patients so they can just go home.
57. In just about every fic I’ve seen where Sam becomes the All Spark it’s either one of two things; he brings machines to life by touch alone or he somehow carries the spark within himself (usually after he’s become a Cybertronian himself). Lets mix it up a little, instead of him being the sole carrier, why isn’t he able to implant a new spark in other mechs? After all, it would make much more sense that way, instead of one carrier producing a single new spark you would have many carry a new mechling. That’s kind of why in nature there’s one alpha male with a large group of females. Possibly make him into a Transformer if you wanted.
58. Dreams are odd things, just a sequence of images that appear involuntarily to the mind of somebody who is sleeping, often a mixture of real and imaginary characters, places, and events. It’s a little disturbing when you dream of a single person you care for dying, but it’s only a dream, right? It’s not until that person dies that someone would become concerned. Especially when there are more dreams, each featuring a person close to you. Even more so if in one of them, you have to kill the person for their own good.
59. All life on Cybertron was destroyed in a flash. So quickly that no one even realized they’re dead.
60. The worst punishment an immortal person can face is an eternity of boredom.
61. What with everyone, even the Decepticons, complaining about the optic searing orange color the Ark is, the Autobots decide to do a little redecorating.
62. In some cultures on Earth, the inclusion of personal effects is motivated by the belief that when a person dies, their possessions (and sometimes people connected to them such as wives) should go with them out of loyalty or ownership. Perhaps that’s the reason bonded cannot live without the other, not because of the pain of the bond breaking, but because of either loyalty or the fact that one owns the other.
63. “Wish I didn’t know now, what I didn’t know then.”
64. We all know there’s energon that’s like alcohol to them, but is there an energon type that’s like caffeine to them?
65. “Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap.” XD. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.
66. Sick of being sick.
67. What with the organic fuels and alternate sources of energy I was wondering if Transformers had a version of alternate medicines like we do. You know, like herbs and brews and potions and other things like that.
68. How exactly can you tell the different ranks in the Transformers armies anyway? The only symbols, outside of movie verse, the bots have are the factions.
60. I have one red optic and one blue optic. The blue optic sees truth, but the red optic sees much, much more.
70. If somebody didn’t do something soon, they were going to have a catastrophe on their hands.
70. Starscream’s wing had gone missing.
‘Cause I read a sword wrong and wig became wing, which confused me a great deal.
72. ???? Was the runt of the family, born small and ill-favored, and by the time they were grown, they were still small and ill-favored.
73. The first time I saw him, he painted a hex sign on my right arm, and I couldn’t move my fingers for three cycles.
74. Like anything else, the armed forces is full of its own unique jargon and nicknames for anything and everything like jar heads and puddle pirates. So, what are some of the nicknames and the like in the Decepticon and Autobot armies?
75. Soundwave/Rodimus Prime.
Still not sure I did all the tags right. *grumbles*
no subject
Date: 2008-08-06 09:26 pm (UTC)... Ratchet & Fanzone must switch bodies. They MUST.
2. Sunstreaker, Tracks and Sundor get together. And have a contest to see who’s the prettiest in the land. Could also add in other vain (canon or not) in if you’d like.
*snarl* "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?"
"AHH I DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW GET THOSE LASER BLASTERS AWAY FROM ME AHHHH!"
4. Assuming the fact that the cassettes are all Soundwave’s children, and just how slagging many there are, there has to be more than one partner to spawn them all.
Maybe it's one partner per cassette: http://smirkierthanthou.deviantart.com/art/Massive-sketchdump-is-massive-79461682
Because there’s a crap load of them
Indeed there are: http://smirkierthanthou.deviantart.com/art/Soundwave-Likes-Babies-81208976
14. Yet another water bunny. Since water is so scarce as to be considered a mythical substance on Cybertron, when the bots first came to Earth and it rained for the first time (most likely down poured in a massive thunderstorm with their luck) the poor things must have completely freaked out.
This one, if someone does it (*silent begging*), will probably be hilariously adorable or adorably hilarious. Or possibly a little angsty, if Cybertron had extreme acid rain as I've seen in some versions of fanon.
19. One of those reality meshing things, only a little different. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe meet their counterpart from another universe, a mech whose spark didn’t split.
Sunswipe? Sidestreaker? Or someone entirely different from both of them? It'd be really cool if in the other universe, the two of them were someone who is a third character in the twins-universe. Like Sunstorm, or Skywarp. Then they'd have to figure out where that person came from in their reality...
20. With all those bunnies about magic and the fact that magic is a part of Transformers canon, I now have an image stuck in my head of the Stunticons, of all bots, trying out magic wands and putting on the Sorting Hat. Would somehow be truly fitting if they ended up in different Houses, with Motormaster in Hufflepuff because he is bound and determined to become the undisputed King of the Road if it’s the last thing he does.
WANT. Although, why Hufflepuff? It seems like 'King of the Road' and all would be more ambition than loyalty. Or if someone who adopts this bunny feels like something more epic, they could try putting one gestalt in each house. (Constructicons all in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw together and DEVASTATING the other houses at Quidditch!!!... With one poor human player on their team trying not to get smashed)
21. Not all Seekers joined the Decepticons, some joined the Autobots. The fact that there aren’t any flyers could be the fact that they reformatted themselves into ground vehicles because their beliefs were so strong.
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe!!! They do Jet Judo because they miss flying! Maybe the Seekers would find out that they used to be flyers and either be totally disgusted at their choice or feel absolutely terrible and offer them free rides.
23. They say, no matter what the craft, that you can only make your true masterpiece only once. After that, you’ll never reach that same level again, come close, yes, but nothing else will compare.
*is intrigued* Soundwave making his cassettes?
24. Stepford Wives. Every culture has its stereotypes. So what would the Cybertronian stereotypes for the perfect mate be? What other stereotypes would their society have?
*is curious*
25. Many, many Transformers have glitches. My question is at what point do they become socially unacceptable? Are there any that are immediately classified as such, no matter how minor they are?
I wonder if there are any socially acceptable or even admirable glitches?
no subject
Date: 2008-08-07 12:03 am (UTC)2. I feel really sorry for whoever gets roped in to being the judge.
4. Now the question is, who are the daddies?
Ravage - Mirage
Laserbeak - Megatron
Buzzsaw - Sunstreaker
Rumble - Skywarp
Frenzy - Thrust
Ratbat - Swindle
14. The experiences of acid rain from back home would probably freak them out that much more.
20. Well Hufflepuffs are known for their determination and their ferocity in getting to their goals, much like a badger. Then there's the fact that it's a stereotype of that house to be weak pushovers, and then there's be MM's reaction to said stereotype. There's a bunny somewhere about Mixmaster attending potion's class, the aspect alone frightens me. The Aerialbots would either be Gryffindor or Hufflepuff and the Combaticons would be Slytherin or Ravenclaw. And those would have to be some gigantic brooms, the poor human, you're gonna get squished eventually so just accept your fate.
21. That could explain why they're so hell bent on pulling off suicidal stunts like that. In my head canon Seekers are much like Earth birds and resent weakness/illness of any kind. And to them giving up one's wings would be a major sign of illness to them so they wouldn't take kindly to that revelation.
23. *is also intrigued* But which one of the cassettes are the masterpiece, or hasn't he created that one yet? And if not what would it be like and how would the others react to it? If it's already an existing one my mind in insisting on Ravage being the masterpiece for some reason.
24. Maybe could go with the Barricade is a reprogrammed Prowl or something.
25. Or if a mech has both and they sort of cancel each other out, who knows? Or two different mechs have the same glitch just a different severity of it.

Date: 2008-08-07 01:19 am (UTC)The link in my comment has a picture with Soundwave and his various consorts about halfway down. :D
14. The experiences of acid rain from back home would probably freak them out that much more.
I'm kind of curious how they'd react once they figure out that the rain is harmless and in fact quite soothing. Although I'm sure Ratchet would be mumbling about rust and water-related problems that he'd have to deal with.
20. Well Hufflepuffs are known for their determination and their ferocity in getting to their goals, much like a badger. Then there's the fact that it's a stereotype of that house to be weak pushovers, and then there's be MM's reaction to said stereotype.

And those would have to be some gigantic brooms, the poor human, you're gonna get squished eventually so just accept your fate.
I don't know, Motormaster still strikes me as more of a Slytherin if you're judging by the 'King of the Road' thing. I always thought (and House interpretations seem to vary greatly by point of view) that Hufflepuffs were hard workers but not ferocious. IMHO, a Hufflepuff Motormaster would go out and train himself on the roads every day, rain or shine; the Slytherin Motormaster would just try and kill the other 'King of the Road' to claim the title.
Mixmaster going to potions class = WIN. I don't know if Snape (or whoever is teaching the class at the time) would love him or hate him.
As for gigantic brooms... have you read Kenya Starflight's awesome Transformer!Quidditch fic? http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3951624/1/For_Love_of_the_Game
In my head canon Seekers are much like Earth birds and resent weakness/illness of any kind
I like that interpretation of Seekers... and I feel kind of bad for Sunny and Sides now. They must miss flying (in their sparks, if not in their programming), and the closest they can get to it is hopping aboard an enemy who wants to kill them. And now that I think of it, this adds a whole new dimension to the emnity between Sunstreaker and Tracks... Tracks can fly and maybe Sunstreaker subconsciously feels inferior because he can't anymore.
If it's already an existing one my mind in insisting on Ravage being the masterpiece for some reason.
I thought of Ravage too! Not sure why, because he can't (or doesn't) talk... but lots of fanon has him as the 'firstborn'. Maybe it's because Ravage seems quite intelligent and is one of the 'main' cassettes who doesn't have a double; perhaps Rumble & Frenzy and Laserbeak & Buzzsaw were made in pairs so they could offset each other's subtle weaknesses.
Or if a mech has both and they sort of cancel each other out, who knows? Or two different mechs have the same glitch just a different severity of it.
Hmmm... *scribbles down new bunny*

Date: 2008-08-06 09:27 pm (UTC)*hums* The Microbots episode should have been ALL drunken 'Con partying with just one or two couple-minute cameos of 'Bots. Because if it had been we might have found out about this.
28. Blades is to First Aid as Twins are to Ratchet.
...Now I really want to see Vortex do something Blades-like on a battlefield, and First Aid freak out thinking 'frag, now there's two of them!' and start hurling wrenches.
30. Sparkride.
That poor, poor bot...
34. One of the Stunticons (other than Motormaster) finds a way to safely undo the gestalt programming.
And they separate and realize that they miss being gestalt and really do love each other and they re-merge and live happily ever after awwww. Or not.
Now, the question is, who would they replace him with?
PRIIIIIME!
37. “I think you ought to know I’m feeling very depressed.”
Is this from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Because ever since I read those books I've thought that Marvin the Transformer would be awesome. (Soundwave and Dead End get together. And Soundwave's run through every appropriate cassette name he can think of, so he gives the millionth cassette a human name because it was created on Earth.)
I’d like to see a fic where Soundwave normally has ALL (16 that I know of) the Con cassettes with him.
He could totally take over the 'Cons with his li'l army if he wanted to.
40. Soundwave has only used is Shoulder Cannon once. Why is that? He’s also labeled as a scientist on the Transformers wiki.
He's secretly Wheeljack's old friend/mentor/student/brother/twin! And the shoulder cannon is the last thing Wheeljack made for him/built with him, so he keeps it for sentimental reasons, but doesn't use it because he's afraid it'll explode! And they both wear their masks because they don't know that the other one wears the mask all the time, and they're both afraid that if they take off the mask someone will recognize them and say 'Hey, don't you look a bit like Wheeljack/Soundwave?'.
41. If they were leaders of the army, then what positions would Megatron and Optimus/Orion have?
This could go with a bunny I posted earlier, about how Megsy and Oppy are only pretending to be the leaders and the real leaders are undercover in their factions as common soldiers.
It is said that Swoop’s alt mode is terrifying to Transformers, why exactly is that
Maybe because his flight partly depends on flapping his wings like an organic, instead of totally relying on jet boosters or something more organic? Like how some people are creeped out by bionic limbs, only the other way around.
48. If each Transformer were to choose a mythical creature as an alt mode
These are all WONDERFUL. And Skywarp the Fwooper made me laugh SO HARD.
49. Soundwave would like to know one thing, why does everyone consider him the mother
Good point!
They’re good at fighting, they know what to do and are comfortable with it, why would they want to change that?
All the warmongers could get locked up in a big asylum/paintball range.
52. Can Transformers get hiccups?
I read a fic once where Starscream had hiccups and they sounded like nyaieeeeeee! It was funny.
Tsk, tsk Decepticons, you lost your patients and now they started a war on an alien planet, you’re not turning out to be very good doctors...they simply want to leave the planet before they squish anything by accident and round up their patients so they can just go home.
Now I just want to see these quotes in a fic somewhere.
is there an energon type that’s like caffeine to them?
MUST. SEE. (Starscream drinking coffee! XD)
I was wondering if Transformers had a version of alternate medicines like we do
Ooohh, good question!!!
70. Starscream’s wing had gone missing.
Armada Starscream? (Because his is *supposed* to detach?) Or G1 Starscream? (Which would amusing...
Hook: ...How did you even get it off, let alone lose it?!
Still not sure I did all the tags right. *grumbles*
Ugh, tags... I completely sympathize. At least they automatically alphabatize all nicely.

30. Poor thing must have been picked on something fierce in school.
34. I'm gonna take a random guess and go with the or not.
*snerk* Oh, if they actually did choose Prime Motormaster would just...god lord there probably isn't an adequate word in any language for the rage he'd be feeling right then.
37. Yeah, it's from Hitchhikers. Soundwave and Deadend? Now that's a pairing I've never thought of before. And Deaders being Marvin's father is really appropriate, they'd be able to go and emo together.
That sounds wrong, it was better in my head, honest!38. He could, it'd be so simple.
41. It would be interesting to see how much, or not, their personalities would change when they're in private. After all, you'd have to assume that Meg's and Ops know that they're not the true leaders, it's also possible that they are simply drones, or shells of their former selves or are in on the act from the very beginning. Then again, maybe they're the only ones that don't realize they're just puppets except for the real leaders and their most loyal followers.
45. And that make you wonder how the bots would react to bionic limbs. Though if it was the fear of organic bits, it would have to be something specific about that particular alt mode as there are many with animal alts, not to mention the beast wars where there were many with forms like that and they weren't feared.
48. Yes, Skywarp the neon green Fwooper that can drive people insane with his singing. Though maybe that would have been a good choice for Starscream, too.
52. I think I vaguely remember a fic like that, wasn't it where he woke up and found himself in bed with someone he not only knew but couldn't even remember how to get there, and in the end killed the guy?
56. I just wonder who it would be that was scolding all the doctors, and which doctors were in charge of which patients.
64. Starscream on a caffeine high, he'd probably suddenly remember all his scientist background and try to do experiments. Caffeine patch, anyone? No side affects whatsoever *randomly slaps you*
70. Well, wing could also be considered a Wing of Seekers, which means that Starscream had somehow lost Skywarp and Thundercracker. Or both.

And Deaders being Marvin's father is really appropriate, they'd be able to go and emo together.
Yeah, real 'father-son' moment there. Maybe Dead End could adopt Marvin as a symbiote-thing, like Blackout with Scorponok in the 2007 movie.
41. It would be interesting to see how much, or not, their personalities would change when they're in private. After all, you'd have to assume that Meg's and Ops know that they're not the true leaders, it's also possible that they are simply drones, or shells of their former selves or are in on the act from the very beginning. Then again, maybe they're the only ones that don't realize they're just puppets except for the real leaders and their most loyal followers.
Ooh, I didn't consider that they might be drones! They do tend to act in a predictable, stereotypical way... And it would be SO funny if they were the only ones who didn't know that they weren't really the leaders. That would make Starscream's life so much more bearable, if he could just savor that in his mind.
Re: It is said that Swoop’s alt mode is terrifying to Transformers, why exactly is that?
Well, you know what they say about medics (and it should apply to apprentice medics too): Never get on the wrong side of a medic, because they know exactly where and how to hurt you.
Or maybe Swoop's alt mode resembles a mythical/wild beast of Cybertron, like a sort of bogey monster. Something that could fly without using jet boosters might be the equivalent of human ghosts that float, moving without using their legs.
48. Yes, Skywarp the neon green Fwooper that can drive people insane with his singing. Though maybe that would have been a good choice for Starscream, too.
Neon green, hmmm? And I can see Starscream having lots of fun with a Fwooper form. Or maybe not... how many 'Cons aren't some kind of crazy already?
52. I think I vaguely remember a fic like that, wasn't it where he woke up and found himself in bed with someone he not only knew but couldn't even remember how to get there, and in the end killed the guy?
Yep.
56. I just wonder who it would be that was scolding all the doctors, and which doctors were in charge of which patients.
Primus and Unicron! They're not really deities, they're just the heads of the hospital! As for which docs for which patients... not a clue. Probably Soundwave for Blaster, because Blaster hates Soundwave, etc.
Caffeine patch, anyone? No side affects whatsoever *randomly slaps you*
Argh. What is this from? It's a cartoony movie, isn't it? Gahh... I know I saw a preview with this in it.
70. Well, wing could also be considered a Wing of Seekers, which means that Starscream had somehow lost Skywarp and Thundercracker. Or both.
Maybe that's the punishment for 'losing' your comrades. If you lose a wing member, you lose a wing.

And that's just given me wonderful idea for one of my Cybertronian beasts. Now, I just need to figure out how to draw the thing and I'll be able to introduce everyone to the pit harpy.
48. They are all a little crazy but if anyone could drive them even more insane, it'd be one of the Seekers.
56. Soundwave could be in charge of all the sound related bots like Blaster and his cassettes, Bluestreak, Jazz, etc. The Constructicons would be in charge of the science bots and so on.
64. That's from the animated movie Meet the Robinsons or something, can't quite remember if that's the right title.

Date: 2008-08-06 11:00 pm (UTC)9. It's not just you.
10. I think it was because most of Earth's technology had been reversed engineered from Megatron. But I love your idea.
11. But... but it's so much fun making Smokescreen hold therapy sessions. *is sad*
13. ... Waterworld (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterworld)?
14. I read a fic where Hound was freaked by the rain, but only because on Cybertron they only had acid rain.
Perceptor, I bet, would be standing out in the storm, smiling as he stared up into the sky.
16. *loves* And if you have Shikigami, you need Shinigami as well!
19. *wants to see*
20. MOTORMASTER IN HUFFLEPUFF! I LOVE IT!
21. What about Powerglide?
24. Woah. They wouldn't need to build look-alikes, all they'd need to do is some reprogramming.
I can see Perceptor having been a victim of this, but with help from a friend, is slowly overcoming the reprogramming.
25. Paranoia, obviously. Because it can grow and cause others to panick. Any glitch that causes violent reactions. Some, though, I think would be able to slip through the cracks. Like being unable to see others as real people. Not feeling emotion. Not feeling pain...
27. I know nothing about Halo, but this bunny sounds very, very interesting.
31. *cackles* It's SPREADING! Soon we will RULE THE WORLD!
Red Alert: "I told you it was a conspiracy! But did you listen? Nnnoooooooooooooo!"
32. Perceptor! I love it when Perceptor has mental problems! I wonder if the glitch makes him forget, or if he's really not in control during those times. If he's not in control, who is?
33. *loves* How would he hide it though?
37. I wonder who would say this. Dead End is too predictable. Speaking of predictible: Perceptor!
41. Prowlimus Prime! *loves*
Might explain why Jazz calls him Prowlie.
42. It's possible. Though I think anything learned that quickly wouldn't stick. Or it would be harder to make it stick. Unless Soundwave really shoved it end there.
43. *is curious* I want to know too. Someone write this!
45. I... I think I used to know why. Must have read it somewhere. *thinks* Because he's a flier and is much quieter than a jet so he can sneak up on them easier? I don't think that's it, but it's possible.
47. *loves* I'm actually working on that language bunny, but sadly, I've already got it planned out. No room for this one. *is sorry* Anyone else?
48. It says here that the Zaltys is a symbol of fertility. It would explain all the pregnant!Perceptor and slutty!Perceptor bunnies, don't you think? Anyways:
Optimus - Ch’i-lin (AKA Ki'lin)... I'm having trouble see him as pure. So about about the Kirin (http://www.pantheon.org/articles/k/kirin.html)? I really didn't want to give him my name, but it does fit.
Wheeljack - I'm having trouble info on the Papillon *is sad*
Perceptor - Zaltys sounds very interesting but what about... *thinks* Selkie? Well, it is believed that he's atriple changer.
Hound - Cu Sith? *loves*
I think I just spent about ten minutes reading about mythical creatures and I still haven't found that perfect Perceptor one. We'll stick with Zaltys and Selkie for now.
Decepticons - Perfect choices! But what about the Constructicons? *thinks* I got nothing. *is sad*
Oh, one of the fliers needs to be an Ouzelum Bird (http://www.pantheon.org/articles/o/ouzelum_bird.html).
Re: Part 1
Date: 2008-08-07 02:18 pm (UTC)14. Perceptor would probably find it fascinating; a natural occurrence back home that only brought pain and even death but on this planet is the very source of life itself. And poor Ratchet, he just can't catch a break no matter where he went, first acid rain and now rust. Just think of how they'll react to their first winter and all the salt we dump on the roads.
Sunstreaker: "I'd rather paint myself as a polka dotted 'Con than go out in that mess."
Sideswipe "I have salt in places Ratchet doesn't even know exists."
19. Something I really want to see too. After all, with this new unsplit spark he may not have the same glitches/problems as the twins do, making the twins feel like it may have been better if their spark hadn't split.
21. In my headspace, when it comes to flight there are two types; flyers and Seekers. It's a thin line between the two and is mostly a social/cultural thing within that group, mostly the separation is between military jet alt modes and other types of flight alt modes, like helicopters. Ground bound mechs usually have a hard time seeing the difference. The Seekers are the elite of the elite, they know it, and they act like it too, they were also designed to be the best in the skies add to the fact that the ability to 'downgrade' into a ground alt, as they would put it, is a whole lot easier than upgrading to a flying alt. I hope I explained that right, this all makes sense in my head.
24. If a mech can be reprogrammed so drastically they're a completely different person, just imagine what a master programmer could do to the mind of someone.
25. Prowl could be the one with the glitch that makes him unable to see others as real people. Maybe Soundwave too. The minor glitches probably wouldn't be found until it's too late.
27. Hunters (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Mgalekgolo) are one of my favorite from the game.
32. When I first thought of this I was thinking one of the science types had it. They first realize it when they're at their desk writing and then the next thing they know they're at one of the tables with beakers/test tubes in their hands mixing something together. Needless to say, it's a dangerous glitch to have when you're experimenting. And the glitch is a lot like a black out, I've known someone that had a black out like that at their job, for the entire shift, and no one realized it until they got home and sort of 'woke up.'
33. Fireflight was always clumsy and absentminded, so when he decided to work for the 'Cons he learned how to project that personality as his real one, masking his inner thoughts and feelings from his teammates, much like a person thinking of a brick wall to block psychics.
42. In Knights of the Old Republic, Revan lands on an unknown planet and after meeting the hostile locals rips out the knowledge of their language so he can learn it and then pounds Basic in their minds so they can understand him. When he returns years later, they have that same knowledge. Then again, this is the Force we're dealing with and not telepathic robots.
47. 'Cause a book I bought recently has time travel with it where they talk like the Angry Archer and you can understand it, it just takes a moment to translate it. That and seeing Megatron yell at Shockwave in their version of that type of speech would just be hilarious.
48. Perceptor was unnaturally hard to find anything that out suit him, since the only mythical creatures of knowledge I know of are actual beings and not creatures. Maybe he could be a diricawl or a demiguise? As for the Constructies, I have no clue either. Though Scavanger could be a knocker.
Wheeljack could also be an Erumpet. Papillon. And Fireflight could be an ouzelum bird.

Re: Part 1
Date: 2008-08-08 07:51 am (UTC)It shows they trust him, so he can't be too annoyed. Maybe annoyed at himself because he can't always help them.
And he should totally joins forces with Red Alert. Together they can blackmail everyone and RULE THE WORLD!
Perceptor would probably find it fascinating;
He would! He'd stand out there all day/night, not caring about the dangerous lightening. Someone had better go out and get him before he gets struck...
And poor Ratchet, he just can't catch a break no matter where he went, first acid rain and now rust.
And obviously, Ratchet will be the one to drag him inside,
cursinglecturing him all the while.Sunstreaker: "I'd rather paint myself as a polka dotted 'Con than go out in that mess."
Sideswipe "I have salt in places Ratchet doesn't even know exists."
Ratchet: *stares in horror* "Oh, no." *backs away* "You're getting that salt out yourself!"
Sideswipe: "But it itches! And I can't reach it!"
Ratchet: "Not my problem."
Sideswipe: *cries*
They could come down to where I live. It hasn't really snowed here since I was one year old. *is sad* My first snow. I was scared of it and cried. It never snowed again. And that's rather creepy now that I think about it.
making the twins feel like it may have been better if their spark hadn't split.
Could go with the bunny (I can't remember if it's one of mine or someone else's) that said someone tries to recombine the Twins' split spark. Maybe the twins themselves are that someone?
In my headspace, when it comes to flight there are two types
Makes sense to me. And downgrading into a ground vehicle would be easier, physically, thanupgrading to a flier. Former ground vehicles wouldn't have the instincts needed to safely fly. However, becoming a ground vehicle could cause some serious mental damage to a flier. They need the sky. They'll go insane if they're groundbound for too long.
If a mech can be reprogrammed so drastically they're a completely different person, just imagine what a master programmer could do to the mind of someone.
Like puppets on a string... Would the victims even be aware of their own actions? Or would they become little more than drones?
Prowl could be the one with the glitch that makes him unable to see others as real people. Maybe Soundwave too.
Prowl wasn't who I was thinking of (guess who) but he's an excellent choice. Soundwave too. Poor Cassettes.
When I first thought of this I was thinking one of the science types had it.
*nods* Perceptor. And this is sounding more and more interesing. I may have to add it to my Bunnies I Might Adopt list.
Fireflight was always clumsy and absentminded
And what might happen if that 'brick wall' were to crack?
In Knights of the Old Republic
It could work, I think. The Force is, as you said, different than telepathic robots. But if that telepathic robot is powerful enough...
'Cause a book I bought recently has time travel
What book is that?
That and seeing Megatron yell at Shockwave in their version of that type of speech would just be hilarious.
It so would! Whoever adopts this bunny should include that scene!
Maybe he could be a diricawl or a demiguise?
Diricawl = Dodo? No. Though the HP Wiki says they disappear? Mirage, is that you? Demiguise? No again. Perceptor needs a pretty one. A Kneazle? Though reading the description, makes it sound like Red Alert. Thestral? Yes, I think the Thestrals are pretty. Wheeljack = Erumpent! Why didn't I think to check the HP Wiki before? Ravage = Nundu. I am going to keep doing this until I find something for Perceptor. Scavenger = Niffler. Red Alert = Knarl? And I'm getting tired of doing this. Kneazle sounds good for Perceptor.
And what's a knocker? *feels stupid*
And I just finished reading the rest of that reply. Wheeljack definitely needs to be an Erumpent, if we both thought of it.
And the Papillon sounds really cute. Perceptor, maybe?
Re: Part 1
Date: 2008-08-10 07:04 pm (UTC)Well, making sure everyone's okay is a part of his job.
Poor Sidewipe, maybe if he was bonded to Ratchet the medic would be more willing to get the salt out. Then again, know Ratchet, maybe not.
It would snow so much where I live each year I'd always try to make a tunnel system in all the snow drifts. Never really worked.
They need the sky. They'll go insane if they're groundbound for too long.
Maybe those former flyers are now some of the more glitch riddled Autobots, or perhaps ones that are obsessed with fighting the Seekers, like someone suggested they could be Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.
Prowl wasn't the one I was thinking of (guess who) but he's an excellent choice. Soundwave too.
I think we all know who you were thinking of, doesn't take telepathy to figure that one out. Just imagine if Soundwave was the one who had it, especially if the cassettes were his sparklings.
And what might happen if that 'brick wall' were to crack?
Depends really, could be anything from 'Flight straight out showing his true colors and moving in with the 'Cons to him somehow convincing his brothers to join him.
What book is that?
Septimus Heap: Physik. It's the third in the series, fantasy magic type of book, they're quickly becoming some of my favorites.
And what's a knocker?
There are two versions I know of. One is from folklore Here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knocker_(folklore)). And the other, the one I'm thinking of but am probably confusing with some other creature, was a character from one of the Drow books, I just can't find the information on it yet.
Hey, I think Thestrals are pretty too. Then again this is coming from someone who thinks zombie unicorns are some of the greatest things in existence.
Re: Part 1
Date: 2008-08-10 10:15 pm (UTC)I wonder if he really was a psychiatrist before the war. He's really very good at it.
You know, I read a fic where Prowl was a psychiatrist before the war...
Poor Sidewipe, maybe if he was bonded to Ratchet the medic would be more willing to get the salt out. Then again, know Ratchet, maybe not.
Sideswipe: "But you're my bondmate!"
Ratchet: "That doesn't mean I'm going to put my hand there!"
Sideswipe: "Why are you so mean to meeeeeeeeeeeeeee?"
Poor Sideswipe.
It would snow so much where I live each year I'd always try to make a tunnel system in all the snow drifts. Never really worked.
Lucky. All I can do if it thinks it wants to snow, is make tiny snowmen on the car.
Maybe those former flyers are now some of the more glitch riddled Autobots, or perhaps ones that are obsessed with fighting the Seekers, like someone suggested they could be Sideswipe and Sunstreaker.
... Seeker!Red Alert! Seeker!Red Alert!
And regarding the Twins, it's very possible.
I think we all know who you were thinking of, doesn't take telepathy to figure that one out.
I am obsessed aren't I? But it's a good obsessed. I mean, it's not like I go out of my way to hurt him or anything... *gets glared at by Perceptor* And I don't try to keep him locked up... *more glaring* And I never put him in dangerous situations... *Ratchet also shows up to glare* Ok, so I'm a bad person. What does it matter?
Just imagine if Soundwave was the one who had it, especially if the cassettes were his sparklings.
Poor Cassettes. They should run away to Blaster.
Depends really, could be anything from 'Flight straight out showing his true colors and moving in with the 'Cons to him somehow convincing his brothers to join him.
Well, a Gestalt can't be separated for too long, or they'd go insane. I think his brothers would go with him, if only to try to keep him out of trouble. Maybe try to convince him to return to the Autobots.
Septimus Heap: Physik. It's the third in the series, fantasy magic type of book, they're quickly becoming some of my favorites.
My Books to Read list has tripled in length, what with all these interesting books inspiring bunnies.
There are two versions I know of.
Oh, the Tommyknockers! Why didn't I make that connection?
Hey, I think Thestrals are pretty too. Then again this is coming from someone who thinks zombie unicorns are some of the greatest things in existence.
I think I saw a picture of a zombie unicorn on DevArt once. Or was it a horse? It's been a while so I'm not sure.
Part 2
Date: 2008-08-06 11:00 pm (UTC)50. What about Blaster and his Cassettes? That I would love to see! And maybe incest would be those whose sparks used to be one? Like split-spark twins? Of course, it's possible that that could be seen as masturbation. Or that, even if it is incest, that no one cares.
51. Every time I see a bunny like this, I think of the Wreckers. Poor Wreckers. *hugs Wreckers*
56. *loves* *loves* *LOVES* Oh, those poor Doctor 'Cons! I want to see this SO MUCH! Someone write this now! I COMMAND YOU!
58. Perceptor. Because every time prophetic vision are mentioned, I think of Perceptor. Unless I'm thinking of Hook, but that's only when my mind tries to convince me that Hook got reincarnated as Cordelia Chase.
59. They're like Ghost Soldiers, unable to pass on, to stop fighting... *is sad now*
60. Which is why Perceptor travels from world to world, learning everything there is to learn, and generally acting like a child with a new toy.
61. What about Blue? Cool Blue Gatorade Blue. I almost typed Cool Blue Gatorade Blood,which makes no sense.
62. *loves* But what if one of those that are owned, don't want to die with their bonded?
63. *loves*
64. Perceptor made some once, but he tested it on himself. Caffeinated Energon is now banned from the Ark, Nemesis, and Human cities.
66. Red Alert? His glitch could be seen as an illness. Although now I'm picturing Perceptor as a very sickly sparkling.
67. *loves* First Aid would want to use them. So would Perceptor. But, sadly, Ratchet doesn't believe in that 'mumbo-jumbo' and makes them use real medicine. Perceptor and First Aid are sad now.
68. *thinks* Well, those with doorwings hold their wings differently. Prowl holds his higher than the other two. Bluestreak holds his lower. And Smokescreen is in the middle. As for everyone else? I have no clue.
68. *loves* I sometimes wonder what Perceptor would look like with one red, and one blue optic. Because I can never decide if I'd rather he be a Decepticon or an Autobot.
I love the sentence you used for the bunny and really, really hope someone adopts this!
By the way, you have two 68s.
72. I wonder what he did to make Perceptor curse him? Because Perceptor would totally do that.
Maybe if I get my other stuff done, I'll grab this one. Maybe.
Most of your tags are fine, though the one for the 2007Movie is 2007.
Re: Part 2
Date: 2008-08-07 02:58 pm (UTC)51. Well they are the special task force and they face a lot of crap that others don't. Roadbuster came to mind when I thought of this bunny. Some bots will truly be lost when the war ends, sometimes it's just easier to live the life you know instead of taking the long and difficult path to heal and become a somewhat normal civilian again.
56. If I knew anything about psychology except for what I've gleaned off of movies, I'd at least try this one, since I really love things like this. *stares at rows of shelves crammed with medical books* I haven't read them yet, leave me alone.
59. In the game Fable: The Lost Chapters, there's a city where something like this happened and you can see the spirits of the people roaming around like they weren't dead and their city wasn't slowly decaying around them. See, the thing is, I didn't say WHEN this event happened, so for all we know it happened during the Golden Age. Or when the Ark and Nemesis crews were in stasis on Earth and the only ones left are those two factions. Maybe one of the Cybertronian colonies finally come back to their home planet for some reason and make this discovery.
62. That's just the thing, if the other one doesn't want to die do they have a choice, would it be so normal that the mech was shunned by others or even killed because of it, maybe it's a well known fact that when you establish a bond when one dies the other will be forced to follow, or it could even be a specific type of bond only.*sits on bunny before it takes over my mind*
64. Or the entire science department tested it with him, because Primus knows those bots need anything that can help them stay awake.
67. Ratchet probably wouldn't like it but because he wants to save lives no matter what he'd still try it at least once, complaining the entire way. On the other hand, it could go with that Ratchet is a country doctor bunny and he found some cure using mercury or something and the elite doctors don't really believe him at first.
68. Could also be some advanced computer/alien robot thing that is so far over my head it's not even funny.
68. Saw a pic of this femme Seeker thing with lacy frills, of all things, that was somehow connected to Starscream(sister, wife?). The only thing I liked were her optics and I was surprised by how good one red and one blue optic looked. Been trying to figure out if I could do that with one of my OCs without making them look like a Gary Stu.
Tried fixing the numbers, now I have two 60s and two 70s. LJ why do you hate me?
72. I'd like to know what he did too. Actually, I'd like to know who he is.
Fixed tags.
Re: Part 2
Date: 2008-08-08 10:28 am (UTC)56. All I know is what I've gotten off of the internet. So I can't write it either. *is sad*
59. Those that crashed on Earth would come back to a dead Cybertron. Would they realize it though? Are the ghosts on a different plane of existence? Can they see the living and can the living see them? If they can, would anyone notice anything strange? Would those that are alive realize that something is not quite right with those that are dead? Would those that are alive seem brighter somehow, to the dead? Or would those that are alive be able to tell that they are ghosts? Would those that are dead fade in and out of sight, glimpses of the past? Would they relive that day over and over until they learn they are dead and pass on?
62. This could be another cause of war. Being forced to die with your unwanted Bondmate... someone has had to have lashed out in fear and desperation.
64. And everyone else cowered in their rooms, afraid the hyper scientist would decide they looked like good test subjects.
67. It's hard to tell if he likes doing something or not, because he usually complains anyways.
68. If your OC has a believable reason for have one red and one blue optic, then it wouldn't make them a Gary Stu. And do you have a link to that picture?
Tried fixing the numbers, now I have two 60s and two 70s. LJ why do you hate me?
You're not alone. It hates us all.
72. I hadn't meant to write this (http://kirin-saga.livejournal.com/11480.html), but my reply turned into a mini-fic. So I figured I might as well make it a longer one.
Re: Part 2
Date: 2008-08-10 07:29 pm (UTC)59. They might realize it, after all, it was fairly easy to tell that Starscream was a ghost after he died. Well, in the game the ghosts were these slightly see through white figures. They would walk around the crumbling city and you could tell they still saw it the way it was before they died as some of them would walk over a bridge like it hadn't collapsed in the water. Sometimes they would respond to you it you stood right next to them, but you couldn't hear if they said anything. I don't know if they lived the same day over and over again or not, there's not much information on the city other than what little bit you're told.
62. Even going into a bond knowing that you'll die with your partner doesn't mean you'll go willingly.
68. I know, it's just that I'm extremely paranoid about them as it is, since I have a really bad habit of giving them angsty pasts and then piling it on later. Besides, I really like the purple optics I gave them. Or green optics, maybe yellow, or I should just actually choose one color and stick with it.
And yes, I have a link for the picture, I actually like it for some reason, even though frills typically have me running for the hills. Starscream's sister. (http://acronasilverfox.deviantart.com/art/Twilight-Zone-87804593)
72. *runs off to read fic*
Bunnies do tend to sneak up on you and mature into fully fledged fics when you least expect it, don't they?
Re: Part 2
Date: 2008-08-11 09:29 am (UTC)51. They need help but don't think they do. Are they in denial or do they really believe that they are fine? Are they fine now... only to have it all come crashing down at the worst possible moment? I hope they have some friends they can talk to.
59. Those that are dead... if they can see and hear(?) and react to those that are alive, are they confused when those that are alive can't hear them? I suddenly feel sorry for those that are alive. They come back to Cybertron and find nothing but ghosts.
... You know, I read a Gundam Wing fic once. A group of people were speaking about the ghosts of the pilots that were haunting the building. But as the story went on, you learned that the pilots were the ones that were alive and the others were the ghosts. The ghosts didn't know that they were the ones who died.
So maybe... those that are dead, believe that the Ark's crew are the ones that are dead? And that their spirits finally made their way home?
62. True. I know I would fight tooth and nail if I was in that situation. I wonder though... how does their bonded feel? As they lay dying, do they feel guilt or regret, knowing that they're basically killing their bonded? Or are they too afraid of dying alone to think of that?
68. Someone posted a Transformers Mary Sue Test (http://community.livejournal.com/tf2007fun/1144965.html). You can run your OC through that. *goes to look at Starscream's sister* I've seen this before! I hadn't realized she was a femme though. I thought it was just a girly looking mech. Or maybe Skywarp after he'd gotten into the high-grade.
72. They do. It's mildly annoying. Only mildly. Right now, Perceptor is demanding a sequel. He's threatening me with his brush and ink and is staring at me in his strangely silent way. I keep telling him that I have other things to write first. That I have a deadline with one of them. And still he waves that brush at me.
no subject
Date: 2008-08-07 02:17 am (UTC)Soundwave sleeping around. It's always the silent ones that surprise you. And now, let's see if I can give the cassettes parents. *grins*
Buzzsaw - Megatron
Laserbeak - Shockwave
Frenzy - Thundercracker
Rumble - Thundercracker (to me they're twins)
Ratbat - Jazz (just cause I like this pairing XD)
Ravage - Megatron
Glit - Ratchet
Howlback - Prowl (during one of the many truces)
Squawktalk - although everyone thinks it's Bluestreak, the father is really Scavenger
Sundor - Sunstreaker (one time thing, they both swore to never talk about it)
Overkill - Grimlock (the wonders of high grade)
Beastbox - Motormaster
Enemy - Skywarp
Flip Sides - Reflector
Garboil - Sideswipe (because what one twin has, the other has to sample from it too)
Wingthing - Starscream
Slugfest - Snarl (they were both drunk)
9.
Ravage, Howlback and Glit are really triplets and guess who followed in his unknown creator's footsteps. Too bad Glit can't throw a wrench at Megatron and teach him to fear the medic. I like that he's the first real Decepticon medic. Imagine the tension between him and Hook.
12.
It figures they'd adapt faster to different terrains since their primary function is battle and conquest. Once Megatron got over his hatred for vehicles (just cause they are the Autobot's main choice of alt), he made the Stunticons knowing they would be an asset due to their lack of ground vehicles in their ranks.
Autobots would be more conservative. They don't want change and are basically fighting to go back to the way things were. That would make them more reluctant to embrace water-type vehicles or the Dinobots (they weren't created by Vector Sigma).
14.
This bunny reminded me of this fic (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3412091/1/AME_New).
19.
Interesting fic. They would be so shocked. I'm wondering, would the twins go to their counterpart's world or viceversa? Cause the reactions of the others would be priceless. Specially Ratchet's, Prowl's and Red Alert's.
27.
All hail the Mgalekgolos! What's more awesome than a gestalt of worms? A gestalt of nanites! The real secret behind the combiner teams is that they're really millions of nanites that combine to make Devastator, Superion, Menasor, and all the others. They divide into smaller bonded groups to fit in with the normal Cybertronians.
Someone really needs to take Shockwave out of that lab of his.
31.
*reads bunny* O_O
*runs to wiki* It has a picture!
*dies laughing*
32.
I'm thinking Prowl/Jazz. Or maybe... *thinks* Perceptor/Beachcomber
38.
Megatron: *looks at destroyed base* Soundwave! We're hiring a babysitter! *cries*
Soundwave: Ravage: Search for Autobot Moonracer. Operation: Find Nany
*everyone looks at him*
Soundwave: Moonracer: good with kids.
Everyone: *blinks and leaves before he went into details*
40.
Because if he used his cannon too much, Megatron would get jealous of him. Plus he's strong enough to fight hand-to-hand. And Soundwave must be the most overworked Decepticon in history. He searches for energy and makes the cubes, advises Megatron, spies and commands an entire fleet of spies, fights like a regular soldier, plans attacks and creates his own devices. Without him the entire Con army would fall.
45.
They weren't used to organic-looking mechs of that size? The wiki says his altform is horrifying by Cybertronian aesthetics, so he's just very ugly to all of them. *hugs Swoop*
46.
Perceptor built a machine and copied himself.

Date: 2008-08-08 05:09 pm (UTC)9. *twitch* Must resist triplet bunny. It's not working, maybe I can figure a way to fit in one of my fics somehow.
12. Bad guys always do seem more accepting and open to new things than the good guys. Probably because they don't care how its done so long as the job gets done. Still irritates the hell out of me sometimes.
19. It really depends on whoever decides to adopt this bunny, they could even freely travel between both worlds if they wanted, though I pictured it as the twins going to their counterpart's world.
27. Whenever I see the Hunter's actual name, my brain wants to translate it as Michelangelo. That's a really interesting theory. Wonder what'll happen when the other bots discover they're a bunch of nanites. I also wonder how they'd be able to bond with anyone...
31. There are some really interesting comments on wiki profiles, one of my favorites is for Animated Ratchet's toy.
40. Soundwave IS the most overworked 'Con in history. The army wouldn't know what to do if he suddenly left with all his cassettes. It'd be total chaos.
45. The pteranodon (I think his alt mode id) IS a really huge beast. Even if I was a giant alien robot I'd still be freaked out if I saw something like that coming at me.
46. Could also be talking about a mental disorder.

YAY! Bunnies are hard to resist.
27. Whenever I see the Hunter's actual name, my brain wants to translate it as Michelangelo. That's a really interesting theory. Wonder what'll happen when the other bots discover they're a bunch of nanites. I also wonder how they'd be able to bond with anyone...
It's a funny name. Would they even be able to bond with someone outside of the gestalt? Bonded Hunters happen when the colony of worms gets so big they have to separate and create a new colony. Maybe that's how new gestalts are born.
40. Soundwave IS the most overworked 'Con in history. The army wouldn't know what to do if he suddenly left with all his cassettes. It'd be total chaos.
The Autobots should just stop targeting Megatron and start going after Soundwave. Once he's gone, the Decepticons would fall.
45. The pteranodon (I think his alt mode id) IS a really huge beast. Even if I was a giant alien robot I'd still be freaked out if I saw something like that coming at me.
Maybe, but though he is huge, there are other mechs bigger than him. Are there any other fliers bigger than him? Cause it's probably a flier thing. Like an altmode that huge is expected to be slower or ungraceful in a Cybertronian, but Swoop's form is fast and agile. And they find it horrifying because it goes against everything they believed possible in a flier.
46. Could also be talking about a mental disorder.
Now I want to see this one.
no subject
Date: 2008-08-07 02:17 am (UTC)I think incest would be creator/creation pairings. And that's just cause in my mind that's the real familial bond (outside of gestalt or twins). Brothers is used more to say they belong to a particular mech, but they're not really related since the sparks are given by Vector Sigma and the bodies have to be built. The creator has the responsibility of caring for the sparkling that can be compared to a parent. Soundwave or Blaster romancing their cassettes would be wrong because they would be abusing the power/position they have on their cassettes mind.
Twins (like Sideswipe and Sunstreaker)on the other hand are like masturbation. They're basically one being in two bodies. (amazing, with all the twincest I read this is what my mind chooses to believe *sigh*)
Gestalts would be the results of experimenting with bonding to create 'artificial' twin relationships. They are not really related, but if they do not 'fit' with each other their combination goes wrong. Like it happens with the Stunticons, whose hatred of Motormaster influences how Menasor acts.
Anyway, that's what I think.
51.
Maybe that's the reason the war has lasted so long. They simply do not know or want to stop fighting.
53.
Awww.... That would be so cute. *loves*
59.
And they would keep on fighting for all eternity without knowing they're really dead. *cries*
