126 Bunnies

[kirin-saga.livejournal.com]

1. Transforming 'technology' has really changed in the last four million years.

2. Perceptor's creators should have never been creators. They weren't physically abusive, but they were rarely home and didn't see anything wrong with leaving Perceptor by himself. Sometimes he thought they forgot he existed.

3. Red Alert: "The bunnies are trying to kill me!"
Perceptor: *glares* "At least they only want to torture and kill you! Have you seen what they want to do to me?"

4. Perceptor has an unexplained fear of rabbits.

5. He was panicking and wasn't moving. But they needed to get out right now... So they did the only thing they could think of and covered his optics and tried to lead him. And he followed because as long as he couldn't see, it didn't seem so bad.

6. Perceptor was a young god when he looked down on the mortal world and saw new playmates. So he created himself a physical body and went down to play. A sparkling body.

7. Cliffjumper used to live next door to Perceptor's creators and often found himself babysitting the little future scientist.

8. An Autobot and a Decepticon get married in Vegas. Would an Earth style marriage be recognized on Cybertron?

9. Art. Soundwave carrying Blaster down a ladder.

10. Springer is turned into a sparkling. The other Wreckers try to hide this.

11. Art. Sparkling!Constructicons playing with Lincoln Logs.

12. Springer/Red Alert.

13. Perceptor: "Oooh, shiny!"
?: "... Did Perceptor just say 'Oooh, shiny'?"
?2: *nods*

14. "It begins and ends with you."

15. Sparkling!Kup.

16. "Kill them quickly or not at all."

17. Might have mentioned this before. Crossover with Sandman. Perceptor as Delirium. Who else would be one of the Endless?

18. The Twins have to save Blaster from his own stupidity (stupidity regarding Soundwave, no less). Norielit, you just had to mention Sunstreaker/Blaster, didn't you?

19. Art. Perceptor and Wheeljack wearing collars and leashes, leaning forward (and somehow not choking) in an attempt to get closer to their experiments. Optimus is holding the other ends of the leashes. He has a Why me? expression. This bunny is the fault of leilani666.

20. "One thing I've learned. You can know anything. It's all there. You just have to find it." ~Quote from Sandman.

21. All cats can see futures, and see echoes of the past. We can watch the passage of creatures from the infinity of now, from all the worlds like ours, only fractionally different. And we follow them with our eyes, ghost things, and the humans see nothing. ~Sandman #18. Well... I did compare Perceptor to a cat.

22. Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot. ~Sandman #19

23. You shouldn't trust the story-teller; only trust the story~ Sandman #38.

24. All sense of where I am, of who I am and where I'm going, has been swallowed by the dark. And I walk through the stars and sky, a trinity of dreams beneath the moon. ~Sandman #36

25. "If the city was dreaming," he told me, "then the city is asleep. And I do not fear cities sleeping, stretched out unconscious around their rivers and estuaries, like cats in the moonlight. Sleeping cities are tame and harmless things. What I fear," he said, "is that one day the cities will waken. That one day the cities will rise." ~Sandman #51.

26. One question, two answers.

27. "Fairy gifts traditionally are double-edged knives." ~Sandman #58. He knew better than to accept a gift from Perceptor.

28. The bonds of family bind both ways. They bind us up, support us, help us, and they are also a bond from which it is difficult, perhaps impossible to extricate oneself. ~Sandman # 72.

29. Science is a way of talking about the universe in words that bind it to a common reality. Magic is a method of talking to the universe in words that it cannot ignore. The two are rarely compatible. ~ Books of Magic #1.

30. "Why do you care for him?"
"... Because he knows no means no."

31. Blaster and Grimlock have a conversation. About the others on the Ark?

32. One annoying thing about his mask was that you couldn't put your hand over his mouth to shut him up.

33. Art. Grimlock chasing the Hamburglar. Yeah... I don't know where this one came from. I might have been hungry.

34. A great many men are mad, and no one knows it. They do not know it themselves. ~ The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie.

35. "Genius, or insanity, who can say?" ~The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie.

36. Sunstreaker saved Perceptor. And Perceptor never let him know.

37. 2007. Wheeljack and Perceptor arrive on Earth and Optimus is reminded how... difficult they are to keep under control. But then Optimus learns something... Wheeljack and Perceptor seem to instinctively respond to Sarah Lennox's 'Mom Voice'. Thank Primus!

38. "He was rather incoherent. It was like his mouth couldn't keep up with his brain." Inspired by a BTVS fic I just read.

39. When the Ark and Nemesis crashed, several Autobots and Decepticons were blasted out of the ships. Where did they land?

40. Perceptor once Bonded with someone for protection. But who did he need protection from?

41. Perceptor: *shoves a beaker into Smokescreen's hands* "I almost drank this."
Smokescreen: *reads label on beaker* "Poison? Perceptor, you really should read the labels before you decide you're hungry."
Perceptor: *nervously* "I wasn't hungry. And I... knew what it was when I decided to drink it."
Smokescreen: *stares in shock* "I... see." *carefully sets the beaker on the table... out of Perceptor's reach* "And why did you decide to drink it?"
Perceptor: "I don't know."
Smokescreen: *stares some more* "Perceptor... why don't you stay with me for the next few days? In case you get any more of these... impulses."
Perceptor: "... Ok."

42. This month, a nearby town is having a Dune Buggy show (a Buggy Round Up). Which confused me because we live no where near the coast. But anyway, I think Beachcomber deserves to win a prize in a Dune Buggy Show, don't you think? I almost typed Dune Bunny.

43. Before someone is allowed to be Blaster's friend, Eject and Rewind put them through a very strict screening process.

44. Equal Rights for Dinobots!

45. Crossover. The Cassettes on a That Darn Cat type of adventure.

46. "I'd rather feel pain, then nothing."

47. Red Alert: "Can I keep him?"

48. Art. Humanized Unicron and Primus. Because I've never seen any.

49. "That which does not kill you, only makes you stranger."
"Don't you mean stronger?"
"... You've never met the crew of the Ark, have you?"

50. What if Red Alert was actually Sideswipe's (or Sunstreaker's) sparkling? How would they deal with his glitch while he grew up? How would they react to his relationship with Inferno (who is at least as old as the Twins)?

51. When the Autobots awakened... someone did not. This Autobot remains in a comatose state. Why?

52. Ratchet tries to teach Perceptor how to throw tools. Or rather, he tries to teach Perceptor that he should throw tools.

53. Perceptor is pregnant. His lover panics and breaks up with him. Perceptor's friends go on the warpath.

54. Alpha Trion/Wheeljack. Result of a typo. I was trying to type the word wheelchair.

55. Perceptor as the Cybertronian version of a Selkie. He was captured by an Autobot and was forced to bond. Vorns later, on Earth, he is still trapped. But at least he can speak with the Earth Selkies. Inspired by bunny # 48 of this post.

56. Art. Perceptor with one blue optic, and one red one. He also has half a Decepticon symbol, and half an Autobot one. His colors on his Decepticon side are darker. Partly inspired by number 68 on this post.

57. Inferno likes fire. Explosions cause fire. Red Alert: "Inferno, do you know where Perceptor got those volatile chemicals?"
Inferno: *looks innocent* "No." *watches fires* "They sure did make some pretty flames though."

58. Crossover with The 4400. I think I mentioned it before, but it's interesting enough to mention again.

59. Perceptor's creators were members of a cult.

60. Blaster never told Jazz that Eject and Rewind were the result of that one night they spent together when Jazz feared his lover, Prowl, was dead.

61. Perceptor is a former prostitute who is now the secret lover of Optimus Prime. Optimus loves him but refuses to Bond with him, afraid of the damage his reputation would take if anyone learned of Perceptor's former occupation.

62. Inspired by BTVS. Perceptor, Blaster, and Red Alert are possessed by Primal spirits. And no, I do not mean Optimus Primal.

62. Perceptor was smiling that smile again. The one that said I know something, but I'm going to let you figure it out for yourself.

63. The Bloop.

64. On a slightly related note, some Whale Songs sound a bit creepy. Some sound cute. Wonder what Seaspray thinks of them. Some more songs. And has anyone else noticed how some of these seem to have been used as Sci-Fi sound effects?

65. Swoop decides Perceptor needs some cheering up.

66. Bat Out of Hell by Meatloaf. Decepticon/Perceptor.

67. Devil Went Down to Georgia by The Charlie Daniels Band. Devil - Soundwave. Johnny - Blaster.

68. "We're just friends."
"You don't really believe that do you?"

69. Ghost Roads.

70. Perceptor only reveals what he chooses to. No more, no less.

71. "Could he have seen something we were blinded to?"

72. "We expected to see it, but it still rattled us to see it sitting there just where we expected to find it." ~ Paraphrased from The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie.

73. It was too easy, therefor it could not be true. ~ Paraphrased from The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie.

74. "They sold my truth."

75. Perceptor's creators sold him into slavery.

76. Elita's and Optimus' sparkling was kidnapped. He was never found and was presumed dead. Vorns later (while Optimus is having his four million year long nap), Elita meets Perceptor and feels he's familiar. What will she do when she learns that Perceptor is her lost child? How will Perceptor feel when he learns that the kind mech who raised him is a kidnapper?

77. ... was one of those people whose fate it is to be devoted to others and to have no one devoted to them. ~Death Comes As the End by Agatha Christie.

78. "Nothing changes here."
"Perhaps, then, there should be a change."
~Death Comes as the End by Agatha Christie.

79. Hero... Criminal... He didn't really care what they saw him as.

80. It was a secret he had kept even from his Cassettes.

81. Perceptor was hurt in a fight but didn't think it serious enough to bother Ratchet with. When he starts feeling dizzy and his fuel pump starts struggling, he realizes he should have bothered Ratchet after all.

82. They met some human celebrities... and didn't even realize it.

83. Blaster loses his memory and his Cassettes try to help him get it back.

84. What's so wrong about enthusiasm when it's asked for?

85. "There is an evil that comes from outside, that attacks so that all the world can see, but there is another kind of rottenness that breeds from within -- that shows no outward sign. It grows slowly, day by day, till at last the whole fruit is rotten -- eaten by disease." ~Death Comes as the End by Agatha Christie.

86. Crossover with Harry Potter. Cybertron has it's own Wizarding World.

87. Perceptor may act the submissive in the relationship, but his lover is so easily manipulated that Perceptor is actually the one in charge.

88. Blaster's Cassettes aren't his children. They were simply reformatted as Cassettes. And they are actually older than Blaster is.

89. "I've been wanting to look at you ever since I came online."

90. Optimus watched as Wheeljack and Perceptor worked and he wondered if he could force them to stop their experiment. He was stronger, but they outnumbered him.

91. He created the lie. And he honestly believed it.

92. "Tears, I don't need... because they don't change a thing. Therefore, tears are useless to me." ~Satisfaction Guaranteed.

93. "Perceptor, if you don't feel like smiling, then don't."

94. Pretending to be strong without any weaknesses... it'll only hurt someone in the end. ~Satisfaction Guaranteed.

95. The Art of Misdirection.

96. He was overcharged and he was working in his lab.

97. Someone bets that Blurr can not go one Earth day without speaking.

98. Hound/Sunstreaker.

99. Omega Supreme/Reflector.

100. A lack of Decepticon activity causes Optimus to try to find a new way to prevent his troops from becoming bored. So he orders a temporary Job Exchange. Because I thought Perceptor would have a lot of fun if Optimus was stupid enough to assign him to Demolitions.

101. Art. Kitty!Ultra Magnus. Because I just saw a picture of him as the Cheshire Cat and I realized that that was the first time I've seen him as a cat (that I can remember).

102. An Autobot and a Decepticon share a prison cell.

103. Write a fic explaining this picture.

104. "He taught me how to act normally"
"... If this is normal, I'd hate to see how you acted before."

105. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one." ~Spock; Star Trek.

106. "I said just now that it is dangerous to give a man power when he is too young. But it is also dangerous to give it to him too late." ~ Death Comes as the End by Agatha Christie.

107. "He is so devoted to us all, and yet none of us wants his devotion." ~Death Comes as the End by Agatha Christie. (It's actually She, not He. But I changed it).

108. "You don't belong in this time. You've already lived it."

109. Hound = Hellhound.

110. Was the change in one the result of the change in the other?

111. Rumble disappears. Soundwave frets, Frenzy pretends he doesn't care, Ravage can't sit still, and the rest really don't care.

112. Red Alert and Reflector have a very... odd friendship.

113. "Why is Perceptor hiding in the Dinobots' quarters?"

114. Blaster was a rebellious and violent youngling on the fast track to becoming a Decepticon when his future Cassettes first met him. They obviously managed to knock some sense into him, but how? How did they turn that volatile youngling into the kind, music-loving mech he is today?

115. What if Skyfire had been aware those first few vorns he was stuck in the ice?

116. Blaster: "I am not a hotel!"

117. Art. Perceptor sitting on the floor of the washracks, looking depressed as the water rains down on him.

118. Perceptor: "I sometimes find it difficult to care."

119. "A cat is anything but you."

120. As the Ark Burns. And I just realized that that sounds like the name of a soap opera.

121. "Fifty years from now, if I take it, what will it be?"

122. "A terror that scares you."
"Is there any other kind?"

123. Perceptor needs surgery to correct a problem with his fuel pump. Ratchet is annoyed that Perceptor keeps putting it off.

124. "Excuse me, you're speaking it accidentally."

125. "Perceptor is, sadly, the forgiving type."

126. "No one has the right to tell me what I should or should not remember."

59. Perceptor's creators were members of a cult.

Unicron-worshippers! (Hmmm... Perceptor/Sunstorm)

62. Perceptor was smiling that smile again. The one that said I know something, but I'm going to let you figure it out for yourself.

God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.

65. Swoop decides Perceptor needs some cheering up.

So he takes him for a flight. Very, very high. And Perceptor is decidedly not cheered up.

82. They met some human celebrities... and didn't even realize it.

MYTHBUSTERS! And Wheeljack, Perceptor, Skyfire, Starscream, and Mixmaster will tell them off for not getting autographs.

86. Crossover with Harry Potter. Cybertron has it's own Wizarding World.

YES. And every Bot and Con on Earth is a wizard, but they think that all the others are Muggles so they can't talk about it or do magic. The first faction to realize that they are in fact all wizards will win. It's a race to decide which force is stronger: Autobot obliviousness or Decepticon refusal to communicate without violence. Ooh! And what if the wizards of Cybertron have only invented/discovered minor curses, nothing of an Unforgivable level? So the Autobots, having more of a link with humans, would be the first to discover this extremely powerful magic, but because it's Dark magic they would be reluctant to use it. Ooh! And the Matrix is actually a Horcrux! Ooh! And Omega Supreme discovers the Imperius Curse and tries to use it to counter the Robo-Smasher and free the Constructicons! Ooh! Prophecies! *yanks bunny out of garden and shoves under a bush*

87. Perceptor may act the submissive in the relationship, but his lover is so easily manipulated that Perceptor is actually the one in charge.

I'm thinking Perceptor/Megatron. Perceptor is subtly sabotaging 'Con plans so they lose all their battles, but not badly enough that they would lose the war. Because Perceptor doesn't want the Autobots to win, because then Megatron would be executed or exiled and he'd never see him again.

106. "I said just now that it is dangerous to give a man power when he is too young. But it is also dangerous to give it to him too late." ~ Death Comes as the End by Agatha Christie.

Optimus was given power too young; Megatron was given power too late.

111. Rumble disappears. Soundwave frets, Frenzy pretends he doesn't care, Ravage can't sit still, and the rest really don't care.

He was sucked into 2007verse and placed in a new body! The dimension-travel messed up his processor, so he acted all fritzy and thought that he was his twin, Frenzy!

115. What if Skyfire had been aware those first few vorns he was stuck in the ice?

*cries* Poor Skyyyy! What if he went insane? Or wait, what if he was completely different before he crashed into the ice? Maybe he spent his time in the ice meditating and reflecting, and came out all peaceful and thoughtful when he had gone in all crazy and impatient and warmongery! Maybe Starscream only joined the Decepticons in memory of Skyfire, because he thought it's what Skyfire would have wanted to do!

116. Blaster: "I am not a hotel!"

Eject: "No one said you were, boss. Calm down!"
Rewind: *removes 'Room for Rent' sticker on Blaster's back*
Soundwave: "And here I thought I was going to get some peace and quiet for once..."

120. As the Ark Burns. And I just realized that that sounds like the name of a soap opera.

The Autobots watch As the Kitchen Sinks when they get bored, and the Decepticons watch As the Ark Burns!

121. "Fifty years from now, if I take it, what will it be?"

Makes me think of Oppy and the Matrix.

123. Perceptor needs surgery to correct a problem with his fuel pump. Ratchet is annoyed that Perceptor keeps putting it off.

This could go with the Suicidal!Perceptor bunny.

[kirin-saga.livejournal.com]

Unicron-worshippers! (Hmmm... Perceptor/Sunstorm)

Sunstorm/Perceptor! *loves* Perceptor really loves Sunstorm but is afraid to disagree with him about anything. Perceptor tries to be perfect for Sunstorm, but can't help but hate some things Sunstorm does in the name of faith.

But if Sunstorm worships Primus, and Perceptor and his family are part of a Unicron cult... That'll be one volatile relationship.

God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.

*loves* *LOVES* Is that Terry Pratchett? I haven't read all the Discworld books, but it sounds like it. And Perceptor = Primus! *loves*

Now I want to see someone write a Perceptor fic, using the style/voice of a Discworld novel.

So he takes him for a flight. Very, very high. And Perceptor is decidedly not cheered up.

Sadly, Swoop is too happy at the way Perceptor is clinging to him to notice (he has a crush on Perceptor, you see). At least, until Perceptor gets the nerve to briefly let go with one hand and smack Swoop upside the head. Sheepish, Swoop lands and they spend an hour cuddled on the ground until Perceptor gets over his fright.

MYTHBUSTERS! And Wheeljack, Perceptor, Skyfire, Starscream, and Mixmaster will tell them off for not getting autographs.

Ironhide: "They still ignoring us?"
Optimus: "Yes. And I wish they would stop being so angry; I need them to work on something."
Ironhide: "Well, why don't you go tell them what you want? You're Prime; it's not like they can say no."
Optimus: "... I'm afraid to go in there."

And every Bot and Con on Earth is a wizard, but they think that all the others are Muggles so they can't talk about it or do magic.

*loves* Those are all excellent ideas!

I'm thinking Perceptor/Megatron. Perceptor is subtly sabotaging 'Con plans so they lose all their battles, but not badly enough that they would lose the war. Because Perceptor doesn't want the Autobots to win, because then Megatron would be executed or exiled and he'd never see him again.

So basically, he wants the war to continue forever? That's surprisingly selfish of him. I wonder if the Autobots would know Perceptor is helping them or if they would simply see him as a traitor. *hopes someone writes this*

Optimus was given power too young; Megatron was given power too late.

Possible... Though in the book, it's said that it's dangerous to give a man power to late, because they would be too used to obeying orders and not giving them. So I'm thinking... Skywarp. He obeys orders, but he has a high rank due to his position on the Air Commander's Trine. How often do you see him issuing orders?

[kirin-saga.livejournal.com]

He was sucked into 2007verse and placed in a new body! The dimension-travel messed up his processor, so he acted all fritzy and thought that he was his twin, Frenzy!

Poor Rumble! He wanted Frenzy so much that he convinced himself that Frenzy was a part of him! Did he develop a separate personality? Or is is a form on amnesia? I hope when Soundwave finds him, he'll be able to straighten out Rumble's processor... or it's going to be a long road to recovery. Something I'm not sure Rumble would survive on the Decepticon base. So... Soundwave, not wanting to but knowing it's for the best, sends Rumble to Blaster.

Or wait, what if he was completely different before he crashed into the ice? Maybe he spent his time in the ice meditating and reflecting, and came out all peaceful and thoughtful when he had gone in all crazy and impatient and warmongery! Maybe Starscream only joined the Decepticons in memory of Skyfire, because he thought it's what Skyfire would have wanted to do!

Oh, the angst! Poor Starscream! He went completely against his own beliefs to do something that he thinks Skyfire would want, only to find out that Skyfire has changed so much... Now Starscream is trapped, and he can no longer tell himself that he's doing it for Skyfire. *cries and hugs Starscream* You poor baby!


Eject: "No one said you were, boss. Calm down!"
Rewind: *removes 'Room for Rent' sticker on Blaster's back*
Soundwave: "And here I thought I was going to get some peace and quiet for once..."

*cackles* Poor Blaster! His Cassettes just see him as a money making machine! And don't worry, Soundwave. Blaster is perfectly willing to babysit. Just no sleepovers.

The Autobots watch As the Kitchen Sinks when they get bored, and the Decepticons watch As the Ark Burns!

Megatron: "Quiet, everyone! Perceptor is finally going to reveal the identity of his sparkling's father."
Starscream: "I keep telling you that it's Optimus!"
Rumble: "Can't be! Optimus has been dead too long!""
Frenzy: "Like that matters."
Everyone: *watches in shock as Perceptor reveals the truth*
Megatron: "Cosmos! The father is Cosmos!" *thinks* "I love this show!"
Starscream: *pouts* "I still say it's Optimus. Maybe he disguised himself as Cosmos..."

Makes me think of Oppy and the Matrix.

Excellent idea! This was a bunny I thought of when I was half asleep. I can't remember who I imagined saying it.

This could go with the Suicidal!Perceptor bunny.

The one in this post? Because there are so many suicidal Perceptor bunnies... Oh, Primus! Perceptor is silently calling for help and we're picking up on it with our telepathy! The poor baby! *hugs Perceptor*
