SF Con Bunnies
1. [2007] remember Sam’s remark that Bumblebee was “probably Japanese”? Yeah, actually, Sam wasn’t being funny. He was being accurate.
2. “Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, till the universe winds down and there are no more tomorrows left.”
3. [g1] Someone gets sent back in time, like the Arialbots were. By the time they’ve lived back to the point of their departure, they’re someone entirely different.
4. It’s never a good idea to reach out while you’re dying. It just makes it easier for things to reach back and grab you.
5. [g1] Did you know that in the comic books, Rumble has really, really, bad vision? Something the size of a human is just a blocky, black and white pixilated lump to him.
6. [2007] Magic and giant robots don’t really mix well. A fact Sam, Miles and Mikaela have to keep in mind as they juggle schoolwork, responsibility for the autobots’ assimilation, the peculiar triad of friendship and romance, the attention of the government and the three-way war between their respective covens.
7. Faraday cages as a way to cut communication officers off.
8. AU- He fell in love with humanity in general, and Witwicky and Banes in particular, the first time he ever saw the two. The two soldiers had raced through the shattered streets in a stolen blue truck, laughing in voice high and howling, leading the enemies entire ground force behind them.
9. ?1: I will be fine.
?2: bull-!
?1: I will be fine, because I will not allow myself not to be fine.
10. Someone’s stuck in a labyrinth. Their weapons don’t work, their radio has no signal, and no matter what they do, they can’t harm the walls.
11. “No one is here, not even myself”
12. The autobots are introduced to the…bawdier human drinking songs (bonus points if you include T. Pratchett’s hedgehog song)
13. Unicron was originally a planetoid generational ship for a race of aliens.
14. [g1] Going with the trio-as-the-ideal-relationship plotbunny: Skyfire, Starscream and Perceptor were originally one such trio, but when Skyfire was lost to the ice, Perceptor reacted badly and rejected Starscream. He’s never stopped feeling horrible about who Starscream became, because he knows it’s his fault the other joined the Decepticons.
15. [g1] out of respect for his dead partner’s ideals, Starscream stays neutral in the war, and makes his living selling synthesized chemicals to both sides.
16. [g1] Crossover. Skyfire finds himself a Starscream-surrogate. His name is Rodney Mckay.
17. ?1: From an engineering standpoint it’s a non-trivial problem…
?2: Words to live by, non-trivial problem.
18. Anything will fly if you strap a big enough engine on it, but it’ll still come apart at mach 5.
19. A team of Decepticons and a team of Autobots get into a skirmish far away from Cybertron and Earth, crash land on a lifeless planet, and have to learn to live and cooperate together if they want to live long enough to get rescued.
21. Retroactive infanticide by proxy
22. The scariest thing about evil isn’t what it does, but the fact that it can be likeable, reasonable, and sympathetic.
23. AU Megatron, Optimus and a good chunk of both sides are killed early in the war, and an utter sociopath (Sunstorm?) rose to the head of the Autobots. The highest ranking soldier on the Decepticon side is a young Trine Leader named Starscream. Reluctantly, Starscream and the Decepticons are faced with being the ‘good guys’ if they want anything to be left for them to rule. They’re…not quite sure how one goes about this ‘saving the universe’ bit.
24. Forca by Nelly Furtado-

4. Sounwave came to mind. His telepathy, you know.
5. Rumble needs glasses! Someone should draw that!
7. Poor Blaster! *goes to look up Faraday cages* Poor baby is going to be claustrophobic by the time the Autobots find him.
9. ?1 - Perceptor
?2 - One of the twins
10. Blaster again. His
CreatorsCassettes are going crazy trying to find him.14. Poor Perceptor! I'm sure that deep down, Starscream knows you simply lashed out in grief. He knows you still love him. I wonder how Skyfire will react to all this when he's found. When he was with the Decepticons, did Starscream tell him that Perceptor was a traitor?
15. Starscream is a drug dealer! And Perceptor is one of his best customers! Hmmm. Starscream is only doing it for the money. He knows how dangerous drugs are. And this could become Starscream/Perceptor... Would he try to break Perceptor's habit? On one hand, he'd lose a lot of money. On the other, the possibility of Perceptor Overdosing will be a lot lower.
16. *loves*
19. *loves* Perceptor... Blaster (and Cassettes)... don't know who else. They and the Decepticons would get off to a rough start but I bet they'll eventually forget they were ever on opposing side. Might take a long while though. Say... four million Earth years? And what if they were found? Would they want to leave their new home and their friends to rejoin a neverending war?
21. Interesting...
22. *loves* *whispers* Perceptor!
23. *loves* Reluctant good guys! So has cult-leader Sunstorm 'brainwashed' the Autobots? Or are some simply too scared to leave?
no subject
Gee, I didn't see that one coming from a mile away. :)
But it'd still be a cool story. Hey! Maybe that's where tank-triplechanger-wrecker Perceptor comes from- Perceptor accidentally sends himself back in time, becomes a triplechanger, finds an alias, and hooks up with the wreckers for a couple centuries, and when the time comes- fakes his death, sneaks back to earth, and returns to his 'normal' life... only to discover that Springer wasn't fooled and now wants to know why his soldier is on earth playing Bruce Banner instead of Hulk.
4. Sounwave came to mind. His telepathy, you know.
So cthulhu eats him? Or some other things uses him for their own purposes- poor Cassettes, you know he'd haunt them if it was within his capacity.
7. Poor Blaster! *goes to look up Faraday cages* Poor baby is going to be claustrophobic by the time the Autobots find him.
Telepathy strikes again- the original bunny was Faraday cages as torture devices. I figured that I shouldn't be mean to Blaster when I'm trying to write him though- my muses go on strike if I torture them too much.
14. Poor Perceptor! I'm sure that deep down, Starscream knows you simply lashed out in grief. He knows you still love him. I wonder how Skyfire will react to all this when he's found. When he was with the Decepticons, did Starscream tell him that Perceptor was a traitor?
Isn't it wonderfully angsty? SS knows he not really being fair to Perceptor, but he's in too deep to defect, and jealous that Percy gets SF back when he doesn't, SF is furious that Percy left their lover alone like that and mad at himself for leaving his emotionally unstable lovers alone like that, and Percy feels guilty as hell and can't apologize to either of them.
15. Starscream is a drug dealer! And Perceptor is one of his best customers! Hmmm. Starscream is only doing it for the money. He knows how dangerous drugs are. And this could become Starscream/Perceptor... Would he try to break Perceptor's habit? On one hand, he'd lose a lot of money. On the other, the possibility of Perceptor Overdosing will be a lot lower.
You know, I hadn't actually been referring to drugs when I said Chemicals. Lovely thought though. He'd probably eventually try to break Percy's habit. Percy'd remind him of his last lover/partner Skyfire, and why he didn't join the war. And for both of them he'd try to follow more in the spirit of his decision instead of the letter, and stop making drugs and find a less lethal-to-others job. and Perceptor not overdosing would definitely be a plus in his book. Of course, he'd have to find a way to stop Percy from breaking up with him and finding another dealer when he stops providing.
19. *loves* Perceptor... Blaster (and Cassettes)... don't know who else. They and the Decepticons would get off to a rough start but I bet they'll eventually forget they were ever on opposing side. Might take a long while though. Say... four million Earth years? And what if they were found? Would they want to leave their new home and their friends to rejoin a neverending war?
Probably not, really. They might become the 'technical pacifist' faction of the war. Thundercracker, Hound and Beachcomber might defect and join 'em. Oh! bonus points! New mechs created by members of both sides, who are confused as hell about why the decepticons and Autobots are fighting, since everybody knows that Cons and Bots are natural allies.
23. *loves* Reluctant good guys! So has cult-leader Sunstorm 'brainwashed' the Autobots? Or are some simply too scared to leave?
Sunstorm brainwashed the higher ups, and the grunts are two scared to leave? After all, Bots are social creatures too. As long as it looks like every one else is following, 'specially the officers, most of 'em aren't going to revolt.
no subject
I... I need therapy, don't I?
Perceptor: "Yes, you do!"
Maybe that's where tank-triplechanger-wrecker Perceptor comes from....
*loves* Perceptor is going to have a lot of explaining to do. And what if he has trouble ignoring the need to fight? Someone who expects him to be the same harmless scientist is going to push him too far one day and he's going to lash out. He will enjoy lashing out.
And why did he leave the Wreckers and go back to the Ark? Out of a sense of duty? Because he didn't want them learning what he's done?
And what if Springer is the only Wrecker not fooled by Perceptor's faked death? The others will think Springer is in denial. They'd think he had finally snapped in some way. And they might try to help him.
So cthulhu eats him? Or some other things uses him for their own purposes- poor Cassettes, you know he'd haunt them if it was within his capacity.
I... actually know next to nothing about Cthulhu. And yes, poor Cassettes. No matter what happens to Soundwave, they are going to loose him.
Telepathy strikes again- the original bunny was Faraday cages as torture devices. I figured that I shouldn't be mean to Blaster when I'm trying to write him though- my muses go on strike if I torture them too much.
Yes, mustn't torture the muses... too much. So... what'cha writing?
Isn't it wonderfully angsty?
Kind of sad that the one who spent millions of years trapped in the ice is the stable one. This is going to take a while to fix. They're all hurting and don't know how to act, what to do. And one's a Decepticon so they can't exactly sit down and work things out.
I can see Perceptor on the floor of his lab, crying while Skyfire sits out in the hall, against the closed door, trying very hard to ignore him... And Starscream in his quarters in the Decepticon base, sitting on his berth and staring blankly into space... *cries*
You know, I hadn't actually been referring to drugs when I said Chemicals. Lovely thought though.
The telepathy has failed on this one, I see.
Starscream could start working on medical devices, instead of drugs/medicines/chemicals. Now all he has to do is get Perceptor over his addiction. All at once or little by little? How would he react when Perceptor goes through withdrawal? Perceptor would be crying, would be in pain and would be begging for help, for relief, and clawing at Starscream in desperation. Could Starscream handle that? Would Perceptor be willing to go through that? Or would he, as yousay, break up with Starscream to hook up with another dealer? He might honestly love Starscream, but if the addiction is that strong, the drugs are all he's going to see.
Oh! bonus points! New mechs created by members of both sides, who are confused as hell about why the decepticons and Autobots are fighting, since everybody knows that Cons and Bots are natural allies.
BRILLIANT! If Optimus and Megatron try to bring the war to this world... it's not going to be pretty. The Technical Pacifists are going to do anything to preserve their way of life, I think. Even take up arms against both armies? And their poor children, who were never told about the war at all... They're going to be so confused.
And what would Optimus and Megatron think, seeing Autobots and Decepticons living in peace?
Sunstorm brainwashed the higher ups, and the grunts are two scared to leave? After all, Bots are social creatures too. As long as it looks like every one else is following, 'specially the officers, most of 'em aren't going to revolt.
So the Decepticons have to find a way to undo the brainwashing. And to do that, they need to try to lure one of these Autobot underlings away from the pack. I'm thinking Red Alert... but would Sunstorm really allow a glitch to serve in his army?

Part One
Someone who expects him to be the same harmless scientist is going to push him too far one day and he's going to lash out. He will enjoy lashing out.
And of course, he'll probably develop a complex about that too. The wreckers were an interesting and useful diversion while he was away, but he's suppose to be an autobot scientist. Only his past has followed him home.
And why did he leave the Wreckers and go back to the Ark? Out of a sense of duty? Because he didn't want them learning what he's done?
Out of duty, yes, but I'd bet also out of nostalgia. The ark would be part of his 'idealized past', to go along with his no-longer-entirely-accurate image of himself as a pacifist scientist.
And what if Springer is the only Wrecker not fooled by Perceptor's faked death? The others will think Springer is in denial. They'd think he had finally snapped in some way. And they might try to help him.
Percy might actually head back to the wreckers when he learns about that. After all, Springer was (and pretty much is) is anchor point and homebase in a world he's not suppose to exist in. Combine with his other issues, and he'd probably end up revealing himself just to spare Springer the pain. After all, He was thought of as mad when he first arrived in the past, and he wouldn't wish that hell on anyone.
Yes, mustn't torture the muses... too much. So... what'cha writing?
Bunny from here, actually. Rewind and Eject find out Soundwave was their original creator, Soundwave kidnapped them, and Eject turned Decepticon and accepted Soundwave as his creator. Rewind didn't. Blaster's pissed about what I did to his kids, and has threatened to withdraw his support for the entire venture.
I can see Perceptor on the floor of his lab, crying while Skyfire sits out in the hall, against the closed door, trying very hard to ignore him... And Starscream in his quarters in the Decepticon base, sitting on his berth and staring blankly into space... *cries*
*also cries* oh, our poor scientists...nothing ever goes right for those three, does it? Maybe Megatron can kidnap Perceptor. Then Percy and SS can make up, and then SF won't be so mad at Percy? SS will be a problem a little harder to fix. He genuinely committed to decepticon ideals, if not decepticon methods. And he's got his trine, as unstable as it is. *whimpers* sorry Starscream...
Could Starscream handle that? Would Perceptor be willing to go through that? Or would he, as yousay, break up with Starscream to hook up with another dealer? He might honestly love Starscream, but if the addiction is that strong, the drugs are all he's going to see.
Maybe Perceptor could give SS power of attorney over him? Would mean SS could legally prevent him from running away. Doesn't fix the other problems, but at least he's not going to get halfway through rehab then quit.
If Optimus and Megatron try to bring the war to this world... it's not going to be pretty. The Technical Pacifists are going to do anything to preserve their way of life, I think. Even take up arms against both armies? And their poor children, who were never told about the war at all... They're going to be so confused.
Especially by Op and Megs. the TP would have told their kids some stories about the past, but at a slant. Op and Meg as warring gods, who sent their 'servants' (transformers) out to fight, only for those soldiers to escape the 'divine realm' (cybertron) to live in harmony in the 'mortal' one (the planet)? although, who's good and who's evil depends on who's telling the story- even in the same family.
no subject
And what would Optimus and Megatron think, seeing Autobots and Decepticons living in peace?
Confused, a little frightened (especially if it's some really bazaar mechs, like Sunstreaker, Shockwave and their 'daughter' SunShock *snigger*) and possibly delighted (Op) or furious (Meg).
So the Decepticons have to find a way to undo the brainwashing. And to do that, they need to try to lure one of these Autobot underlings away from the pack.
Or they could follow the brute force method and just swarm one on the battlefield.
I'm thinking Red Alert... but would Sunstorm really allow a glitch to serve in his army?
I think a better question is, would Red Alert really stay in an army where his paranoia isn't enough? Red's smart. He'd probably see the writing on the wall the moment someone unexpected endorsed Sunstorm. He'd activate protocol 13-B-7, knock Inferno out, and drag him and any relevant files to a shuttle and split. The real problems for the poor cons would be tracking him down to whichever tiny pocket dimension he set up megavorns ago for situations like this.

4. The Decepticons reached out and look at what happened to them. If that doesn't teach you your lesson, I don't know what will.
5. That's really, really bad vision. ...I wanna see him mistake Eject (or Rewind) for Frenzy. Or Steeljaw as Ravage, though that's not as likely (Steeljaw would be mainly white while Ravage would be mainly black...) And I love the thought that he sees in black and white, just like a puppy dog.
6. *cackles* Do the Autobots know about the war? Probably not. Because it's just not the type of thing you talk to about people outside your coven. *thinks* Actually... They might not know that the others are in other covens. Because, really, it's very much a be silent type thing.
9. I've been reading entirely too much DC stuff lately, but my mind just went "Batman???"
14. Have I ever mentioned that I love you? Platonically of course. This is an amazing bunny. We do say that they consider threesomes the most 'balanced' relationship, so the loss of a third might actually be a common reason for the destruction of a relationship. Skyfire's gonna be so confused... And pissed. Somehow, I don't think that Perceptor's gonna try and hide from him either.
15. We wish he had done that... I wonder if Skyfire would have still joined the Autobots?
17. My mind flew to Perceptor, simply because of the words. I mean... 'non-trivial'? Totally 'Ceptor-esque.
22. Words to live by, those. *pauses* And this could go with either the Decepticons or the Autobots being evil.
23. *cackles* Oh, I would so love to see a young Starscream attempting to save the universe.
no subject
Thats... deliciously creepy, actually. The decepticons are the servants of an inter-dimensional horror? or trapped in their own heads, screaming as their bodies are used by something else?
6. *cackles* Do the Autobots know about the war? Probably not. Because it's just not the type of thing you talk to about people outside your coven. *thinks* Actually... They might not know that the others are in other covens. Because, really, it's very much a be silent type thing.
No, the autobots most certainly do not- I think Miles and the others know they're all in covens, though. Or at least Sam and Miles do. Mikey they might not be sure about, or vise versa. All of which makes it very awkward to explain why they need to anoint 'Bee with chicken blood. Somehow, I don't think 'to dissipate the gremlin summoning' is an option.
14. Aww, I (platonically) love you too. I think I pretty much expanded my response on this one on Kirin, so you'll have to read my response to 14 there. But yeah, SF gonna be pissed.
17. My mind flew to Perceptor, simply because of the words. I mean... 'non-trivial'? Totally 'Ceptor-esque.
You wanna know what's wonderful? People talk like this in real life. I'm totally quoting on this one- someone actually said this in my hearing *swoons*
23. *cackles* Oh, I would so love to see a young Starscream attempting to save the universe.
And the best part would be him trying to make allies. *snicker*
?: So basically, you want us to help kill a maniac who wants to blow up the universe, so you can conquer it?
Young!Starscream:...We can put it off?
