Two dozen bunny eggs, slightly cracked.

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!

 

2. Soundwave’s cassettes spend so much time in the Ark that they’ve decided to build their own little mini-base there. The humans find it while it’s halfway finished and decide that it must be a surprise for them from the ‘Bots, so they go ahead and move in – even going so far as to finish up a little of the construction work.

 

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 Ark, Megatron said that Starscream “couldn’t lead ant-droids to a picnic”. Obviously, Cybertronians knew what picnics were before they came to Earth. So, what would a Cybertronian picnic be like?

 

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
