I had this reply all written... and I accidentally clicked a link (not the one you gave). I lost it all! *cries*
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.
