Did you miss me?

1. The Autobots believe Perceptor is a prisoner of the Decepticons. But he's actually the prisoner of another Autobot and is being kept within the depths of the Ark.

2. When the Ark was being built, a killer stashes the body of his latest victim within it's walls. The body is not found and the walls are sealed up. However, the body wasn't as dead as the murderer thought. The victim, a youngling named Perceptor, laid in stasis for a long time while his repair systems worked on his injuries. When he woke up and found himself trapped within the walls of an unknown ship... well, he panicked. Too scared to leave, Perceptor made the walls his home. He made an exit so he could get Energon, but he doesn't stay outside for long. Teletraan is the only one who knows he's there, the semi-sentient computer basically adopting him and teaching him and helping him hide. Some of the other Autobots think he's a ghost. Some believe he doesn't exist at all. But all have heard him at least once during their time on the Ark.

3. Several Autobots find themselves pregnant. And they have no idea how they got that way since none of them have interfaced in a while. So... spawn of Primus? Unicron? Alien Experiment?

4. Smokescreen/Red Alert. Bonding over blackmail.

5. "When is too late, too late?"

6. Perceptor tries to kill himself, changes his mind, panics, and calls Ratchet for help.

12. Consort training school. Perceptor was sent there when he came of age to learn how to be a perfect, obedient lover.

13. He sometimes wondered if he had imagined the smile.

14. "There are some people that he can't handle losing."

15. "They match."

16. When it came to science, it was never a good idea to say no to Perceptor.

36. Art. Red Alert = Little Red Riding Hood.

37. Cliffjumper's habit of calling everyone a traitor? Yeah, it's a glitch.

39. Perceptor was killed. But he's going to hide this fact as long as possible.

40. Smile for him and he'll die happy.

41. "Do you love him?"
"He's a good person."
"That's not what I asked."

42. Perceptor is caught in an explosion (either one of his own or one of Wheeljack's) and is turned into a youngling (yes, youngling, not sparkling). While taking care of him, Ratchet and Wheeljack learn something that surprises them. Perceptor, at this age, does not know how to read, has never been to school, and has, in fact, never seen another of his kind before.

43. Perceptor occasionally got very territorial about his lab.

45. 'Transformers are an essential element of Native American religious philosophy, as these supernatural beings are responsible for the creation of the world as it is now in the age of the story-tellers. During the formative age, all beings had the ability to transform both themselves and things around them, as the world was fluid and changing. Hence, both cultural heroes and villains took part. Some transformations were intentional, such as the creation of humans and animals, but others were incidental, produced in the course of supernatural events. Transformers ensured that all of nature and culture had an origin that fitted logically into the beliefs and traditions of the tribe, securing a clear and powerful sense of social identity. Examples of Transformers are the culture heroes Coyote, Raven, Tiikuywuuti and Traveler.' ~Mythology of the North American Indian and Inuit Nations by Brian L Molyneaux.

70. Perceptor: "What could I possibly need from you?"

Perceptor: *pouts*

82. I was visiting my Grandmother. She has a fire extinguisher labeled First Alert. So... First Aid/Red Alert, anyone?

90. Perceptor was killed when he was a youngling. His creators created another Perceptor and pretended the first never existed. But then Perceptor starts having dreams... Inspired by a book I read years ago called (I think) My Sweet Audrina by VC Andrews. I haven't even looked at the book in forever though, so I might have gotten it confused with another.

128. Perceptor is Hot Rod's creator.

129. Perceptor wanted real parents. Parents who asked where he had been. Parents who made sure he did his homework. Parents who were parents, not these overgrown kids who created him. Parents who supported him, encouraged him...

Comments

[kirin-saga.livejournal.com]

And probably even Perceptor thinks he's with the 'Cons...

I hadn't thought of that... Oh, what if it was Hound that was holding him prisoner? Perceptor might be able to see through the holograms, but he'd be unable to accept that an Autobot and friend is doing this to him, so he convinces himself that the holograms are real...

Hound, how could you?

*sings, badly* The PHAAAAAAAAAntom of the Ark-era is theeerrree... insiiiiiide your miiiiind!

That hadn't even crossed my mind.

... Blaster requests that you stop singing now.

Blaster: *crying in the corner*

Bonding as in bonding, or bonding?

I was thinking bonding, but bonding is even better!

Inferno sees his newest bestest friend

*LOVES* That would be so cute!

I think I've seen this somewhere

You have? *thinks* Hey, they do!

Perceptor as the pet, maybe? Technically, a microscope *could* be like a little pet... Oh, wait...

I love the thought of Perceptor as a pet! Microscopes make such good pets; they're so well behaved...

Ironhide: *glaring* "You come down from there right now!"
Perceptor: *on top of the wardrobe* *hisses*

They come when called...

Ironhide: "Perceptor! Perceptor! Here Percy Percy Percy!"
Perceptor: *ignores and curls up for a nap*

And they never make a mess...

Ironhide: *stares at destroyed room* "What did you do?"
Perceptor: *ignores and continues playing with destroyed drapery*

Yes, they are the perfect pet.

Ironhide: *glares* "You've never owned one have you?"

Oh. Whoops. :)

Actually, with this one, I was thinking Blaster said this about Steeljaw.

As in profanity, or magic? Or both?

I was thinking profanity but magic...

Rewind: *currently stuck to ceiling* "I thought I told you to hide those books."
Eject: *currently hot pink and lime green* "Hey, how was I supposed to know those Harry Potter spells would actually work?"
Steeljaw: *currently a chicken* "Cluck."
Ramhorm: *currently a large breasted teenage human female* "@$#@$%$#@!"
Rewind and Eject: "Language!"
Rewind: "Do you want Blaster learning that kind of cursing as well?"
Steeljaw: *glares* "Cluck."

I'm thinking Skyfire & Starscream again. Either one could be either speaker.

They really do need to have that conversation, don't they?

*loves* I want to see this with a 'Con. Megatron ordered him to keep the prisoner alive at all costs, and...

Oh, you just made this idea better! I was thinking one of the Autobots, but a 'Con? *LOVES*

Sudden thought. Can Blaster and Soundwave lock their chest compartments so the cassettes can't get out?

If they can, I bet they don't do it often. Can you imaging how long they'd be grounded for that? If I was one of the Cassettes, I would have programmed in a safety release or something. Because what if they are locked in and something happens? Like Blaster or Soundwave getting hurt? They may not be in any condition to release the Cassettes...

Artemis Fowl books!

And I won't be able to get to the library this week! *cries* Wait... I can get to the other one! *happy dance*

Whoa, total opposites! Too trusting & too paranoid!

I really hadn't thought of that. I just loved the image. Red Alert wearing that red riding hood, holding a basket of energon goodies, and staring nervously down a dark forest path.

Who would be the Wolf, do you think? Starscream? He's not very wolf-like.

This could go with that one where Perceptor is secretly

*LOVES* You're right!

Like, lubricating in corners and biting people who come in?

*cowers at mental image* Ugh, no. I was thinking hissing, growling, and throwing intruders out the door (unless they are too heavy for him, in which case he'd throw things until they left).

What would it be like if Optimus or Megatron had been 'silenced' too early?

A peaceful, possibly oppressed, society.

This is related to a bunny that I just thought up just now.

*is curious* I look forward to seeing it!

Perceptor compulsively hoards knowledge because he's afraid. Like a really smart tankoscope squirrel.

*nods* Yep, that he does. I wonder what he's afraid of though.

[alabaster-demon.livejournal.com]

Blaster: *crying in the corner*

Sorry, Blaster! I know I really shouldn't do that. *hugs*

Oh. Soundwave has a mask!! TF Phantom of the Opera with Soundwave = Phantom, Blaster = Christine, and Tracks = Raoul (RAOUL! XD)!

Ironhide: *glares* "You've never owned one have you?"

Ironhide owns Perceptor? So, that brings in the 'Autobots bought Perceptor as a slave' bunny...

Actually, with this one, I was thinking Blaster said this about Steeljaw.

Oh. My. Primus. *is stunned* A bunny that hasn't been twisted to fit Perceptor? You're... you're not predictable anymore! Wait, did you get kidnapped by the 'Cons? Is it really Starscream writing this or something?

Steeljaw: *currently a chicken* "Cluck."

An organic chicken? A big organic chicken? Or... a ROBOT chicken?? XD

If I was one of the Cassettes, I would have programmed in a safety release or something.

Soundwave: Flight capability: disabled. *is falling*
Cassettes: *pop out wearing parachutes and wave to Soundwave as he tumbles*

Who would be the Wolf, do you think?

I suppose his glitch could be the wolf, in a metaphorical way. And Inferno is the woodsman guy who rescues Red. Who's Red's grandmother?

[kirin-saga.livejournal.com]

Sorry, Blaster! I know I really shouldn't do that. *hugs*

Eject: "Oh just ignore him. The kid likes being dramatic."
Blaster: *pouts*

Oh. Soundwave has a mask!! TF Phantom of the Opera with Soundwave = Phantom, Blaster = Christine, and Tracks = Raoul (RAOUL! XD)!

*cackles* Raoul! And Christine!Blaster! *LOVES*

Ironhide owns Perceptor? So, that brings in the 'Autobots bought Perceptor as a slave' bunny...

Hey, it does! I hadn't noticed! But this would make him more a pet than a slave... *thinks* Are slaves/pets considered sentient? People may think they're only mimicking their behavior, instead of actually being self aware like they are. The 'pets' would probably take advatage of that belief.

... Now I want to see Spike or Sparkplug talking to Perceptor and Bumblebee asking why they are talking to a dumb animal. Can you imagine the humans' reaction?

Oh. My. Primus. *is stunned* A bunny that hasn't been twisted to fit Perceptor? You're... you're not predictable anymore! Wait, did you get kidnapped by the 'Cons? Is it really Starscream writing this or something?

Sorry. Hell froze over for a moment there.

An organic chicken? A big organic chicken? Or... a ROBOT chicken?? XD

An organic chicken. A little one.

Soundwave: Flight capability: disabled. *is falling*
Cassettes: *pop out wearing parachutes and wave to Soundwave as he tumbles*

Rumble: "We said we were sorry!"
Frenzy: "Can you please come out?"
Soundwave: *sulking in his bedroom*

I suppose his glitch could be the wolf, in a metaphorical way. And Inferno is the woodsman guy who rescues Red. Who's Red's grandmother?

Wolf as metaphor. Nice. I think I read something about that once.

As for Grandma... Firestar?

... Now I want to see Spike or Sparkplug talking to Perceptor and Bumblebee asking why they are talking to a dumb animal. Can you imagine the humans' reaction?

Mmmphf. More ideas: A Decepticon agent hidden among the Autobots buys Perceptor from a slave dealer to use his powers or knowledge, then alters the 'paperwork' to make it look like he bought Perceptor from a legitimate exotic pet shop. If the Autobots saw a slave doing super awesome sciencey stuff, they might consider freeing and recruiting him; but if the 'Con agent told them Percy was a pet, not only would they not object morally, but if they saw him playing around with science equipment (or trying to communicate a plea for help), they'd just say 'Oh, how cute!' and shoo him away from the lab.

As for Grandma... Firestar?

Firestar: *shrieks* I'm not that old!!
