1. Sunstreaker: *snicker* Hey Optimus, there’s some weird symbol on your back.
Sideswipe: But it actually wasn’t us. Honest.
Optimus: *sigh* At least it’s not another bumper sticker. Paint washes off but that sticky stuff takes Wheeljack-grade acid to remove.
Bumblebee: *wandering by* Prime, why do you have a black bat in a yellow oval painted on you?
Elsewhere, Skyfire seems to have mysteriously acquired a new black paint job and a bit of creatively-styled graffiti.
Skyfire: *fumes silently and scratches at the word ‘Botmobile’ on his chest*
Starscream: *sniggers* Dananananananana-nananananananana BOT MECH!

3. Mirage does not actually turn invisible – he uses the ‘shielding’ method of the faeries of Artemis Fowl: vibrating at such a high frequency that optics don’t register his presence. However, an advanced camera can detect this kind of ‘invisibility’ by simply viewing images frame-by-frame.
4. Really, Earth is not the only planet with conveniently high amounts of harvestable energy. The Decepticons eventually realize that they aren’t maintaining a presence on Earth just because of the energon.
5. The Autobots can’t continue to provide worldwide protection of human resources in exchange for the meager amount of donated energy they are receiving. Weary of taking care of a helpless and complacent Earth, they give human governments advanced, scaled-down anti-Con technology and basic training in its use. Instead of recognizing the Autobots’ other obligations and being grateful for their assistance, the humans abruptly cut off the Autobots’ supply of energy and hoard the high-tech weapons. Even the humans who are close friends of the Autobots are lured away by governments who are willing to pay huge salaries to people trained in Transformer technology and physiology.
6. When both factions suffer from energon shortages, rations are cut so low that mechs have to choose certain internal systems to deactivate in order to save energy.
7. Right after they woke up and got out of the
8. Transformers, Toy Story style.
9. “That’s not flying, that’s falling with style!”
10. He’d stand there amidst the carnage… with an expression of injured innocence that declared ‘Me? What did I do? Why’re you picking on me?’
And it was believable right up until you looked deep into those cheeky, smiling eyes, and saw, deep down, the demons looking back.
…but don’t spend too much time looking at those eyes, because that’d mean you’d taken your eyes off his hands, and by now one of them held a knife.
11. Someone’s internal energon-processing systems are damaged. They cannot filter energon from Earth sources, so they must either obtain expensive pre-filtered energon from Cybertron… or drink from someone else – with or without their permission. (This could go in a basket with the blood-like energon types bunny.)
12. "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world," ~Calvin, Calvin & Hobbes
13. Their spark-bond was made in heaven. But then again, so are thunder and lightning.
14. "The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem, it is generally employed only by small children and large nations."
15. “The true triumph of reason is that it enables us to get along with those who do not possess it.” ~Voltaire
16. “…I’ll just start apologizing now, shall I?”
17. You must not confuse the content with the container.
18. “Cry me a river, build me a bridge, and get over it.”
19. A bizarre and complicated secret handshake.
20. *sinister laugh* “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of him.”
21. What if Cybertronians carry sparklings in some sort of pouches like kangaroos?
22. Harmony.
23. Has anyone else heard the ‘Optimus’ track on the movie soundtrack and thought of the Autobots and the Decepticons? The first part with the woodwinds is sort of gentle and calm, and the second part with the strings (it comes in at about a minute & twenty seconds) interprets the exact same tune but with more, I don’t know, action and emotion. *is picturing Optimus & Skyfire with flutes and Megatron & Starscream with violins* Then, at about two minutes and nine seconds, the woodwinds and strings mix together (awesomely) and some drums come in. *pictures Soundwave and Shockwave playing great big huge drums* Does anyone else think of this when they hear this track or am I going crazy?
24. And that reminds me... Soundwave/Tracks = Soundtrack

Ah, Carcer, you knife happy bastard. 'Night Watch' was my favorite one out of all the books about Vimes.

Date: 2008-08-13 07:16 pm (UTC)Have you read all of the Discworld books? ToT is the only one I've read so far, and the list of all the other books is so freaking long I don't know where to start.
no subject
Date: 2008-08-13 08:27 pm (UTC)I think the only one I haven't read yet is the newest one, 'Making Money'.
'Night Watch' has all the elements of an awesome book - murders, fight scenes, monks, a zombie, and time travel paradoxes. I highly recommend it and all the other Discworld books for your reading pleasure.

Silverbolt? (And don't worry, most people probably have a secret soft spot for their favorite pet Seeker.)
19. I can imagine how poor Prowl - or even better, Red Alert - would react to witnessing such a thing!
Perhaps Prowl and Red Alert are the ones with the secret handshake - if they see something really weird going on, they quickly do the handshake and focus on it (because they have a REASON for doing it, so it's less illogical that whatever else is happening).

I know! 'Soundtrack' is even a perfect name for a cassette.

14. And yet, I'm fairly certain that anyone who said that to Megatron would still end up dead.

16. Sideswipe, what did you do this time? (Oh, and I started to write the name 'sidesweep'. So, if sidesweep is an upgraded form of Sideswipe, what's Sunstreaker's upgraded form?

Oooh, I didn't even think of that! It does fit!
14. And yet, I'm fairly certain that anyone who said that to Megatron would still end up dead.
Yep. Very, very dead. Probably more painfully than if they'd just kept their mouth shut. Especially if they noted that Megatron often uses direct force and then speculated on whether that makes him a large nation or a sparkling. Or both.
15. ...It does? I always just end up getting pissed at those who can't seem to comprehend simple reason... Does that mean I'm a bad person?
Pshh, of course not. Reason enables us to get along with unreasonable people. It doesn't mean we have to get along with them all the time.
Oh, and I started to write the name 'sidesweep'. So, if sidesweep is an upgraded form of Sideswipe, what's Sunstreaker's upgraded form?
Twisted logic time.

Sunstriker sounds better, so...

I'm not even going to say who that made me think of. After all, I'm predictable. ...And I really should check and see if I'm spelling that right, because I don't think I am. But I'm lazy, so oh well.

And it makes sense, as well! Because he is the type who would (try to) strike a sun!

More Vampire bunnies! Hey- If it's just a medical condition for Cybertronians, what would the Vampformers think of human bloodsuckers, especially the ones true to the original Dracula mythos? (and if you use an Anita Blake style world, what do they qualify as- newly turned or ancient? for that matter, dead or alive?)

First Aid, muttering under his breath after a battle.

5. And Red Alert took great pleasure in saying "I told you so."
6. And some *coughperceptorcough* might see themselves as expendable and wouldn't take their rations. Maybe the 'Bots and 'Cons should work together on this. And maybe the 'Bots should see that stealing really is the only way sometimes.
9. Ramjet? Fireflight?
10. Perceptor! Perceptor! ... I'MSTEALINGTHIS! *grabs bunny*
12. And that's what Perceptor's really thinking when he speaks to the other Autobots.
16. Wheeljack, who is about to test his latest invention.

5. And Red Alert took great pleasure in saying "I told you so."
He should get to say that more often. It makes him so happy. Ooh, what if Inferno realized how happy Red Alert was when he was proven right and decided to try and make that happen more often by causing the disasters that Red predicted?
Maybe the 'Bots and 'Cons should work together on this. And maybe the 'Bots should see that stealing really is the only way sometimes.
OMP YEAH. They should team up to steal energon from some awful corrupt energy company that exploits people.
10. Perceptor! Perceptor! ... I'MSTEALINGTHIS! *grabs bunny*
Have fun!
12. And that's what Perceptor's really thinking when he speaks to the other Autobots.
He probably runs an internal monologue program whenever he has to talk to someone. "Okay, Perceptor... dumb it down... dumb it down... dumb it WAY down..."

Date: 2008-08-22 01:41 am (UTC)I wonder if Red Alert would appreciate that. He might feel that Inferno's mocking him somehow. It'd be interesting to see.
He probably runs an internal monologue program whenever he has to talk to someone. "Okay, Perceptor... dumb it down... dumb it down... dumb it WAY down..."
And all the while he's resisting the urge to grab the person he's talking to and repeatedly slamming their head against the wall screaming "DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME NOW?!"
Willing to adopt
Date: 2009-03-30 09:12 pm (UTC)Can I take it too, even if it's already taken before?
I could fit it in one of my future stories, where one character already discovered his love for knives of all kinds.
And it fits the imagine I will try to give him, too.

8. Transformers, Toy Story style.
Maybe Primus could be the name they gave their owner, and Unicron is the kid next door who blew up toys for fun.
I'm personally seeing this with either G1 or Animated. It'd be funny, actually. I can see some of the Autobots and Decepticons living together in the owner's room, well aware that they are toys, and then the owner buys some more Transformers (including the leaders) who come out of their boxes believing they are the real things. Cue massive headaches for the first group of toys.
