norielit, not me.
2. After the ‘Bots and ‘Cons awaken on Earth, they make a disturbing discovery: during the day, the Decepticons turn to stone; at night, the Autobots do (or you could switch them around, if you like). When the sun (or the moon) rises and when it sets, both ‘Bots and ‘Cons are normal for a brief time.
Millions of years of this daily/nightly transformation have ruined their weapons, and no one can tell whether the mechs themselves are being somehow harmed when this occurs. To guard themselves against humans and natural disasters, each group must protect the other while they slumber – at least until they can leave Earth (which will take a while, since the two groups’ leaders and scientists can’t confer with each other for very long –an hour, tops– and half the time the Constructicons are ‘asleep’).
This could be AU: if Cybertron had a sun (or moon), it’s possible that this had always happened, except that on Cybertron they would turn into metal rather than stone – and of course, they’re already metal, they’re made of the same materials as Cybertron, so it hadn’t made a difference there.
3. Optimus is secretly obsessed with philosophy and debate. He thinks that if he could just sit a Decepticon down and have a thorough theoretical discussion, talking to him about their differing beliefs and values, he could convince them of the rightness of the Autobot cause. However, this is the first time that the ‘Bots have actually had a prisoner long enough for Optimus to finish all the extra work that a battle generates and make his way down to the brig for a little chat. And the (un)lucky victim of Optimus’ rambling is…
4a. All of the Transformers have a hidden alt mode – they’re Cybertron’s “cassettes”.
4d. And some of them aren’t even “cassettes”; they’re Primus’ or Unicron’s children, created to care for Cybertron (either I or II) and its “cassettes”. So they’re basically semi-divine janitors and babysitters.
5. One of the bunny posters in this community is actually a Transformer. I guess you could make up a name if you don’t want to insult anyone (depending on who you pick, I would probably be deeply honored/amused if you used me for this bunny… and yes, that counts as permission).
6. The song “I Won’t Say I’m In Love” from Hercules is sung by a character named Megatronra. (also, five muses… maybe you could get a gestalt team in there?)
7. Inferno has some sort of adventure WITHOUT Red Alert.
8. The Decepticons have discovered Bumblebee’s critical role in Autobot-human relations and he is now a high-priority target. Cliffjumper and Bumblebee have to switch paintjobs and roles.
9. Unlike the Stunticons, Aerialbots, Combaticons, and Protectobots, the Constructicons are a six-mech team. That’s because one of them:
a. Is actually a drone, with complexly-programmed responses to simulate a true personality;
b. Is the spark-twin of another member
c. Combines with the other five, but does not share in the gestalt bond – his mind remains separate from Devastator
d. Does not combine into Devastator at all, but uses Hound-like holograms to conceal himself and alter Devastator’s appearance so he looks like a six-mech combiner.
10. A member of a Decepticon combiner team is a closet pacifist.
11. What if every gestalt team must include the same basic personality traits in order to remain stable? i.e., the leader, the jerk, the peacemaker, the dimwit, the more independent personality, the troublemaker…
12. One of the Lamborghini twins is scared of heights. The other twin came up with the concept of ‘Jet Judo’ and convinced his brother to try it with him so he could get over his fear before it got him killed.
13. In his quest to become King of the Road, Motormaster kidnaps Optimus Prime, hiding him in a remote location and interrogating him to try to learn the secret to his road kingliness. Megatron orders the other Stunticons to ‘rescue’ Prime and bring him back to the ‘Con base. Optimus is forming a tentative plan to boost Motormaster’s ego enough to make him challenge Megatron and cause (more) rifts among the Decepticons. The other Stunticons beg him not to try it because even though they’re not exactly fond of Motormaster, they fear the effects of losing a gestalt member.
14. Teletraan-1 is secretly controlling a certain Autobot for his/her/its own purposes.
15. Omega Supreme tries to negotiate with the Insecticons for some of their controlling-shell thingies. (Three guesses why he wants them.)
16. Spike breaks up with Carly. In an untimely moment of frustration, Carly threatens to join the ‘Cons if he doesn’t at least sit down and talk things out with her. A lurking Cassette overhears and takes Carly’s offer at face value.
17. Shockwave led the group that chased Optimus and his crew to Earth, while Megatron stayed behind to manage Cybertron.
18. While on a patrol flight, Starscream spots one of those cliché old wise men meditating on a mountain peak and stops for a chat.
19. Wheeljack doesn’t cause the explosions. In fact, he has a hidden phobia of explosions. His devices would all work perfectly, if Perceptor wasn’t always sabotaging them. Because really, if everything worked the way it was designed to, then how would they ever learn anything?
20. Soon after they were created, one or more of the Stunticons gets a flat tire. They know that since the ‘Cons are short on vehicle-formers, the Constructicons are unlikely to stockpile tires suitable for their use. So, they decide to lie in wait on some little-used roads and ambush random cars until they’ve accumulated a decent tire collection.
21. After a typical battle (read: a loss), Megatron is irritated at the lax manuvers of the Coneheads. He orders that each member of the elite Seeker trine take a Conehead under his wing (so to speak) and train him. The Seekers get competitive.
22. A Dinobot coup! Grimlock is overthrown by…
23. Hidden deep in the ‘Con base is a large storage room which the Constructicons have claimed for medical and construction-related equipment and materials. As it turns out, the Constructies set aside the entire space just for Scavenger’s junk (because if they didn’t, he’d either leave the junk all over their quarters or he’d cry). Someone notices that the Constructicons actually just keep all their stuff in their quarters or the medbay, and goes to investigate their storage room. So, the unfortunate mech wanders in and gets lost amid the mighty towers of crap. Then someone else notices that he’s missing and goes looking for him… (Maybe there’s a portal to that huge Room of Requirement closet from Harry Potter in there! Boy, would Scavenger have fun with that room…)
24. Due to the effects of the Robo-Smasher, Devastator has no memory of his components’ tragic past with Omega Supreme. So, the big dummy goes and falls in love (either with Omega or a gestalt. Or both!)
25. Sometimes, all Ratchet has to do is glare at a wound and it will fix itself. Someone finally notices this.
26. “Slaggit, for the LAST time, STOP TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF IN THIRD PERSON!”
27. Megatron is slowly becoming overwhelmed by his responsibilities. He seeks to absorb the strength and charisma of the great leaders of the past. Through necromancy. (He could do it with or without someone else’s help. Maybe Perceptor would be interested? HAH. I said it before you could. Beat you!)

Methinks these two could go together - Omega is trying to get the cerebro shells because the 'Structies find out what Devastator has been up to with their ex-friend, and they're not happy.

Date: 2008-08-16 02:16 pm (UTC)I'd love to see this pairing. Well, actually, I just want to see everyone else's reactions to this pairing.
"Wait, didn't you *hate* him yesterday?"
And Optimus' 'Oh slag' expression when he figures out what he *really* did to Motormaster would be hilarious.

Hmmm... if Devastator is a totally separate personality, created from the Constructicons' personalities, would that mean that they would treat him like their sparkling? So, would they have an angry-protective-parent reaction when they find out that Devvie's been dating their ex-friend who's as old as they are?

Date: 2008-08-17 02:37 am (UTC)4.*stares at tempting bunny* Very, very tempting, but it's already trying to turn into a bunny of epic length and I have too many to finish. Someone really needs to adopt this.
5. *reads bunny* O_O
*hyena cackle*
But what if it isn't just one, what if it was ALL of us?
10. *coughOnSlaughtcough*
13. Joins in with other votes to see this pairing. And people think some of the other pairings are dysfunctional. Just imagine a therapist's reaction to this one. MM is gonna be just as obsessive as ever and I feel really sorry for anyone that may have a crush on Optimus after MM realizes his feelings have changed. Oooooooh, what about Elita? Or if he was already in a relationship/had his optic on someone else.
21.*loves* They'll probably make a scoreboard with point losses and gains and everything.
25. *loves bunny*
*pets and feeds bunny* Now I must figure out how to fit this in somewhere. Particularly if it's a 'Con that is the one who notices. Hmmm *starts plotting*

Date: 2008-08-17 03:16 am (UTC)Poor Optimus. All childishly enthusiastic about how he's going to change these mechs' lives by showing them a new way to think... Ah, well, he tried.
Actually, I was kinda thinking Megatron. If the Mighty Mech himself is a 'Bot prisoner, then Optimus would have the entire duration of Starscream's short, doomed leadership to lecture at Megs.
4.*stares at tempting bunny* Very, very tempting, but it's already trying to turn into a bunny of epic length and I have too many to finish. Someone really needs to adopt this.
Yep. I kinda just wanted to see TFs with immobile buildings as alt modes. I imagine it would be very frustrating.
5. *reads bunny* O_O
*hyena cackle*
But what if it isn't just one, what if it was ALL of us?
o_O All? I didn't even consider all...*glances around nervously*
13. And people think some of the other pairings are dysfunctional. Just imagine a therapist's reaction to this one.
Smokescreen: NO. I refuse, Optimus! You can't make me!
Optimus: Technically...
Smokescreen: NO! Spark-bond counseling only goes so far! I'm not a miracle worker! *faints*
MM is gonna be just as obsessive as ever and I feel really sorry for anyone that may have a crush on Optimus after MM realizes his feelings have changed. Oooooooh, what about Elita?
Now I want to see MM and Elita fight in a fic. Or possibly even MM/Elita. Hey, he could be the third part of an Optimus-trine!
Or if he was already in a relationship/had his optic on someone else.
Hmmm, what if the 'Cons won the war and every officer who fought in it gets their own personal group of 'Bot slaves? If Motormaster went over to the 'Bot side for Optimus, then there's a possible Megatron/Oppy/MM trine.
21.*loves* They'll probably make a scoreboard with point losses and gains and everything.
I wonder how the Coneheads would react to being used as game pieces? And I still really really want to see the elite Seeker trine do Jet Judo on someone else. Maybe they could use this training as an excuse to try it out on the Coneheads.
25. *loves bunny*

Yay! It has a home! *watches you plotting and cackling in a corner with interest*

Date: 2008-08-19 06:06 am (UTC)*loves* This reminds me of a movie. I can't remember what movie though. Maybe it was a book...
I really, really hope someone writes this.
3. Dead End! I want to see Dead End and Optimus discussing philosophy!
4a-4e. Interesting. Mildly confusing though, for some odd reason. And if you say a word often enough, it loses it's meaning, which is why it looks weird to you.
5. *also offers permission* I hope someone adopts this.
7. *stares in shock* That's... possible?
9. Very interesting. I love the drone idea. And the spark-twin one.
15. ... *LOVES* I want to see this so much!
16.19. Perceptor! I didn't know you had it in you to sabotage someone's work. And forcing Wheeljack to confront his worse fear... and letting him be blamed for it... You naughty boy! Though you do have a point about not learning anything if everything always works as it should. But you shouldn't let Wheeljack take the blame! *hopes someone adopts this*
22. Sludge! Because no one would expect that!
23. *loves*
24. *loves*
26. Skywarp? Maybe he's talking about himself in third person in order to annoy others. Or maybe it just started that way and he found that he liked talking that way...
27. *pouts* I can't believe you beat me... I bet you wouldn't have if I had had my computer... *pouts a little longer* But yes, Perceptor would totally be interested. Though how Megatron learned Perceptor knew things like that, I have no idea.

Date: 2008-08-19 09:46 pm (UTC)Maybe before the war, Perceptor brought Megatron back from the dead and that's why he's mostly boring-gray-colored - because it didn't completely work. Wonder what color he was when he was alive...

Date: 2008-08-20 11:41 pm (UTC)Curses, you discovered I have a secret Identity!
I am really a Decepticon called DeathBringer.
8. The Decepticons have discovered Bumblebee’s critical role in Autobot-human relations and he is now a high-priority target. Cliffjumper and Bumblebee have to switch paintjobs and roles.
Ooooh I love this one.
Cliffjumper: Get your grubby hands off me.... Ooops I mean what a darling little youngling human. 0:)
10. A member of a Decepticon combiner team is a closet pacifist.
I'm thinking Dead End. His dour disdain on life to hide his true feelings.
I can also see the adorable Scavenger only fighting because he just wants to be wanted.
15. Omega Supreme tries to negotiate with the Insecticons for some of their controlling-shell thingies. (Three guesses why he wants them.)
He wants to control the world? ^^ ;)
22. A Dinobot coup! Grimlock is overthrown by…
I would say Sludge is the most unlikely.
26. “Slaggit, for the LAST time, STOP TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF IN THIRD PERSON!”
Grimlock: Grimlock not know what third person is. Where third person? Grimlock not see third person.

Date: 2008-11-18 08:06 pm (UTC)24. Wants to see too!
25. 3 great ones, all in a row!
