tf_bunny_farmI've got a question that's really bugging me. Who would the official quartermasters or 'gathering random stuff that someone needs' mechs be for each faction? I would guess Scavenger for the 'Cons, but I'm not sure if he'd be qualified to get stuff like highly technical scientific equipment. And for the 'Bots I have no idea. Beachcomber?
1. Wheeljack builds several sets of ‘Bot-sized rollerblades, and a few brave mechs test them. The cassettes steal some and bring them back, claiming that they have some sort of importance or bestow some type of power. Actually, they’d seen the testing and just want to see the other ‘Cons make fools of themselves. They turn in the rollerblades and give a highly-edited version of what they’d seen, then sit back and watch the hilarity unfold.
2. Someone gets stabbed. Someone else bleeds. (Bleeds energon, that is. What do you call bleeding when it’s not blood that’s coming out? Energeening?)
3. Someone goes a little crazy one day and decides to stand up for those who have traditionally been oppressed by Cybertronian society. He/She founds a third faction and gathers to himself/herself an army of femmes, cassettes, and glitches.
4. Red Alert knows that several ‘Bots are secretly friends/lovers of ‘Cons. Reasoning that the ‘Cons would do something rash without some sort of guaranteed neutral ground, he fakes a comm message from Sideswipe to Bluestreak with the coordinates of the perfect spot for covert prank planning. Knowing Bluestreak, the location of an unobserved area would make its way around the
Red Alert then builds a large, deliberate blind spot in his camera network at those coordinates. The ‘Bots and ‘Cons are then free to plan covert meetings there, and Red Alert can be satisfied that no cross-faction meeting occurs without his knowledge (also, he now has a permanent source of blackmail material)… because the coordinates of the ‘accidental’ camera-blind area are right outside Red Alert’s quarters – which have been updated with a concealed window and recording devices.
5. Bonecrusher wants to build some sort of surprise gift or gifts for his gestaltmates. However, being a demolitions expert, he doesn’t know much about creative construction. Not knowing where else to turn, he builds an elaborate trap for Grapple and Hoist and then promises to release them if they help him with making his presents (or they could BE the presents).
6. Chromia is cheating on Ironhide with Powerglide. Shockwave catches them on his cameras and for the sake of old friendship and camaraderie (and destabilizing the Autobots), he sends the recordings to Ironhide.
7. G1 Perceptor/Animated Blackarachnia. Just how grateful would she be if she finally found someone who was both smart enough to restore her original form and kind enough to actually do it without stabbing her in the back? Of course, Perceptor has his own reasons for wanting to experiment with semi-organic technology…
8. Omega Supreme gets bored easily. He asks Blaster to fit him with a sound system.
9. Frenzy analyzes the close bond between himself and his ‘siblings’, and he decides that they might as well make themselves into a mini-gestalt. Motormaster and Scrapper hear of his unusual ambition and give him tips.
10. Elita-1 and Shockwave are about to have a sparkling. They’re terrified of how Optimus will react when he finds out (because the two of them are among the few who have seen Optimus truly full-out raging mad), so they recruit the most intimidating and dangerous ‘Bot they know to deliver the sparkling and be its godfather: Perceptor Ratchet.
11. The Constructicons are sick and tired of being on ‘medic duty’. Their skills were really only picked up from slapdash emergency repairs of each other after construction accidents (which happen more often than you would think). Megatron insists that a Constructicon continue to fill the post of head medic, and doesn’t listen when they protest that they enjoy building things, not fixing things. First Aid enjoys fixing things… and for some reason Scavenger insists that he would look good in purple and lime green.
12. (Related to a previous bunny.) Swoop and Laserbeak meet occasionally to chat about being unfairly relied upon, being underappreciated, being teased for having organic-based alt modes, being teased for not being ‘real’ fliers, putting up with rowdy teammates/siblings, etc. Swoop talks with pride about the medical training Ratchet is giving him, and Laserbeak (being rather intelligent) is the only one of Swoop’s friends who is both willing to listen and smart enough to understand Swoop’s explanations.
Swoop begins to deliberate whether using his increasing medical skills to reprogram Laserbeak into a ‘Bot would be wrong. Laserbeak is recording each conversation to use as an ace in case Soundwave or a cassette ever gets on Megatron’s bad side (a weak spot in the mighty Dinobot team would make a fine bargaining chip), but as time passes the condor-cassette starts to feel a little sorry for the lonely Dinobot.
13. Someone dies for Perceptor. The scientist feels so guilty, he lays down his experiments and scientific work and takes up the weapons of a warrior in honor of his fallen friend’s noble sacrifice. (Optional portion: Little does he know that the ‘fallen friend’ was actually a clumsy Decepticon spy who had outlived his usefulness. The spy’s last mission was to somehow trick Perceptor into abandoning a critical and war-winning experiment before the crucial test was performed.)

Do you know how long I've had something like that bugging me? I'd love to see this. And I love the logic for it, too. ^_____^
*has a moment of spastic bouncing*
I want to see this done so badly. Really badly. Thank you for putting it up. (First Aid with the Constructicons? Hell yes!)

He's got a face mask, he'd blend in. I bet Scavenger would just adore a genuine nice person to talk to, and the others would appreciate someone who's willing to be patient and understanding and compromise.

Date: 2008-08-20 11:21 pm (UTC)Leaking? I really have no idea. But seriously, I love this bunny.
4. I can so see him doing that! *loves*
5. *loves* Bonecrusher can be so sweet when he puts his mind to it. I wonder what GrappleandHoist think.
8. ... I now want to read some Omega Supreme/Blaster. But anyways, can you imagine how loud that would be? If he turned the volume all the way up? Blaster would love it, but what about everyone else? I wonder how far away he could be heard...
10. Perceptor was struck out? *pouts* He can be terrifying when he wants to be. Even scarier than Ratchet even because it would be unexpected.
11. *loves* I bet the other Protectobots would have something so say about that.
12. I love this so much! Poor Swoop! *hugs Swoop*
13. And he succeed. By dying. *loves*
14. *cackles* Oh the potential!

In the 'Con base...
Starscream: *huddled under a table, wailing* MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!
On Cybertron...
Shockwave: *optic bulb explodes from killer sound waves of death*
Back in the 'Con base...
Starscream: *as before* MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!
Megatron: *somehow squeezed under his throne (he totally has one. I don't remember seeing one in the cartoon but he has to have one)* SHUT UP STARSCREAM!!! EVEN THAT AWFUL NOISE IS BETTER THAN YOUR SCREECHING!!
Starscream: *ignores Megatron* WWWWAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
Soundwave: *sits at his desk station like normal, humming and tapping his foot*
Perceptor was struck out? *pouts* He can be terrifying when he wants to be. Even scarier than Ratchet even because it would be unexpected.
Oh, I know that Perceptor can be terrifying. His name was struck out because I knew you were *bound* to suggest him, so I didn't have to.
11. *loves* I bet the other Protectobots would have something so say about that.
Probably something with lots of swear words.
13. And he succeed. By dying. *loves*
Actually, I kinda had the idea that the hapless spy tried and tried to separate Perceptor from his beloved science and kept failing, so he threw himself in front of a blast in battle to avoid being punished by Megatron and saved Perceptor by accident.
14. *cackles* Oh the potential!
*also cackles*

Date: 2008-08-22 09:49 pm (UTC)LOL! That so needs to be included in the fic... if anyone writes it.
Soundwave: *sits at his desk station like normal, humming and tapping his foot*
He and Blaster could send in requests! It'd give themselves a break. Omega Supreme just made two friends for life!
Oh, I know that Perceptor can be terrifying. His name was struck out because I knew you were *bound* to suggest him, so I didn't have to.
Should I be worried that I'm that predictable?
Probably something with lots of swear words.
Ratchet: *horrified* "Where did you learn that kind of language?"
Protectobots: "You."
Ratchet: "...Oh. Carry on then."

*giggles* Poor spy! He can never win can he? Not even when his mission is successful.

Date: 2008-08-22 09:54 pm (UTC)Hmm, well, after you take out the Constructicons, that brings Omega's friend-for-life total up to... two.
Omega: *cries*
Ratchet: *horrified* "Where did you learn that kind of language?"
Protectobots: "You."
Ratchet: "...Oh. Carry on then."
Professor Ratchet needs to hold a seminar on profanity. Halfway through, Perceptor would stand up and cuss Ratchet out for wasting his time because he already knows all the words Ratchet is teaching. And everyone would stare in shock as Perceptor leaves.

Megatron should have known better than to try and separate Perceptor from his MAD SCIENCE! I wonder who the spy was? Maybe Brawn?

Perceptor has a huge vocabulary. I don't understand why people think he doesn't know any swear words.
They'll probably ask Perceptor to hold the next seminar.

Perceptor: They always underestimate the quiet ones. But they will learn. Oh, they will learn... mwahahahahaha!

Better send invitations to the Decepticons too. I mean, you get tired of being called 'Auto-butts' and 'Auto-dorks' and such on the battlefield over and over - a change would be nice.
BRAWN'S A SPY!!!! *LOVES*
Or maybe there's a whole team of 'stop Perceptor from using his genius to end the war' 'Con spies. Ooh! Wait! *scribbles new bunny*
Quartermasters
Date: 2008-08-21 03:40 am (UTC)And for the Bots, what about Huffer? He's a strong mech for his size, and sending him off to collect things would let the others stop hearing his whining for a while... =D

Date: 2008-08-25 09:24 pm (UTC)I did think of some (extremely sappy - you have been warned!) ending dialogue, though. Here:
Perceptor: "I'm sorry, but... I don't think I can cure your condition..."
BlackArachnia: "I wanted so bad to be beautiful like I used to be..."
Perceptor: "But... you are beautiful!"
It's one of those things that's either sweet or horrible, depending on your level of cynicism.

(I just started college, so we'll see...)
Ooh... Well, take your time - the bunny will wait for you. *puts leash on bunny and ties it to a tree*
Perceptor: "I'm sorry, but... I don't think I can cure your condition..."
BlackArachnia: "I wanted so bad to be beautiful like I used to be..."
Perceptor: "But... you are beautiful!"
Makes me think of Shrek 2.

Date: 2008-08-29 07:42 pm (UTC)Second may not come for awhile, as I want to get an outline done. I didn't have one yet, so it's not my best work... (sorry. Also, sorry I suck at thinking of titles. I'm open to suggestions, as I'm not fond of the title I came up with!)
I hope you like!
