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.

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.
