1. Brawn only pretends to scorn Perceptor’s scientific work, because:
A. He’s bitter and jealous. He was once a second-rate scientist, and aspired to Perceptor’s level of intelligence, looking up to him as a hero. When Brawn first joined the Autobots he wanted to serve in a scientific capacity, but he wasn’t quite smart enough so he had to upgrade himself into a warrior;
B. He’s happier as a warrior. He doesn’t want the Autobots to realize that he’s qualified to be the lab assistant Perceptor’s been asking for;
C. He and Perceptor were old friends and he knows that Perceptor works better if he’s being challenged;
D. He’s a Decepticon spy, but he likes Perceptor. He has to continually downplay Perceptor’s usefulness so he isn’t ordered to kidnap or harm him;
E. Before the war, Brawn was Perceptor’s bodyguard. The way he makes fun of how Perceptor doesn’t fight is just a playful old argument between them;
F. In private, Perceptor mocks Brawn’s brute-strength approach to war just as harshly as Brawn mocks Perceptor in public;
G. Brawn is secretly copying Perceptor’s advancements and sending the records back to Cybertron to be copyrighted in his (Brawn’s) name.
2. The Lambo twins aren’t twins. Well, technically, they are twins – they’re just not each other’s twins.
A. Maybe Bumblebee is Sunstreaker’s twin and Cliffjumper is Sideswipe’s twin? Or the other way round?
3. Optimus pretends to treat all of his Autobots equally, but that’s very hard to do. He still remembers how some of them treated him back when he was Orion Pax, the lowly unskilled laborer. Sometimes it makes him sick, when he hears those same mechs going on about the ideals of equality and fair treatment. Where were those ideals when those future 'Bots were hanging out by the docks with their friends and decided to blow off some steam by beating up some dock worker whom no one cared about? And how can he not feel like a hypocrite, when he stands next to those mechs on the battlefield and stares across at the 'enemies' who had once saved him from dying in a dark, lonely alley so long ago?
4. Beauty is pain, and pain, beauty.
5. Someone ties a noisy, shiny metal object to Ravage’s tail.
6. Inferno knows very little about his creators. He was taken away from them when he was very young by the inefficient and under-funded Youngling Care department. From his vague memories, Inferno believes (correctly) that one of his creators gave him a personality similar to his own, such as his mostly laid-back demeanor, his patience, and the strong immune system which protects him from semi-contagious glitches and infections. Of his other creator, all that Inferno can recall is a strange golden glow and the crackling of flames – sensations which Inferno has found oddly comforting his entire life.
7. Perceptor can see everything – even where Skywarp goes when he warps.
8. Perceptor used to be just one of Shockwave's tools. Shockwave tried to harness the power of Primus to boost the power of his optic, so he could see all over Cybertron, hunt out the Autobot femmes, and guard the whole planet for Mommytron. The experiment was working, but Primus knew that Shockwave shouldn't be allowed to harness his power, so at the last second he diverted the power from Shockwave to the little microscope next to him. Shockwave realized what happened, and tried to manipulate Perceptor to use Primus' power...
9. Inferno has to leave the
10. 2007verse. Megatron, frozen and semiconscious, observes as the Internet is invented and slowly develops. Hey, it’s probably better for him that he wasn’t fully aware when he saw some of the weird stuff humans put on the Web…
11. Optimus as a demagogue.
12. Megatron gives a speech on Decepticon ideals that would actually sound good to an Autobot.
13. No one would ever label him as the type to rally a crowd or lead a battle. In general, he was a soft-spoken mech who tried to avoid any sort of verbal confrontation. Despite this, from the moment of his creation he possessed the instinct and charisma to command and be obeyed. These talents had lain hidden for millennia as he kept his head down and earned his reputation as just another soldier, more comfortable following orders than giving them. But the time was fast approaching when those around him would lose faith in their leaders and search for a new source of guidance – and if he did not rise to the occasion, there were other unassuming mechs who were more than willing to seize the opportunity…
14. The debate has raged between the two factions from the moment some twisted mech thought up the weird idea of cross-faction bonds… Which is the dominant ‘trait’, red optics or blue optics?
15. Soundwave somehow gets shrunk to his cassettes’ size.
16. Every mech ever sparked has a ‘twin’; Sunstreaker and Sideswipe are rarities not for being twins, but for actually finding their twin within the course of their lifetime.
17. Teletraan-1 gets addicted to Internet RPGs.
18. A three-legged race.
19. Wheeljack had a shipment of important apparatus coming through, but the Insecticons intercepted and ate it. Wheeljack’s got a score to settle. Say hello to the Mosquitobots!
20. Optimus gets captured. Megatron visits him in his cell to gloat. Optimus is in the middle of a nice “I’ll never give in to your demands, freedom is the right of all sentient beings, you’re ugly and yo momma was a trash compactor” spiel when all of a sudden, the Matrix electrocutes him. How embarrassing.
21. Skyfire is every bit as vain as Starscream. He just hides it better.
22. Megatron’s too busy dealing with Starscream to pay much attention to the other ‘Cons, so he asks Shockwave to come visit. The plan is that Shockwave will disguise himself, pretending to be a former prisoner converted to the Decepticon cause, to get an idea of what the morale in the ‘Con base is like. So Shockwave goes incognito and settles in among the ‘Con forces on Earth; and he’s not conspicuous at all because his new form is pretty much your average, everyday, not faceless ‘Con. Problem is, Shockwave is pretty old and he was quite used to his original form. He has some trouble adjusting to having two optics (as opposed to one), an olfactory sensor (as opposed to none – why would he need one on Cybertron?), and a vocalizer that requires movement of the mouth.
23. Someone finally tells Megatron that normal construction vehicles aren’t lime green and purple. Megatron insists that the Constructicons get a makeover.
24. Sideswipe, Frenzy, Rumble, and Skywarp trade graffiti tips and stories.
25. Ratchet isn’t the only medic to threaten to give unruly patients humiliating alt modes… and follow through on the threat.
26. “DIBS!”
27. Art. A pantheon of Autobots and Decepticons staring at the viewer with weirded-out expressions.
28. Someone stole Unicron’s horns. Unicron is upset.
29. What’s the Cybertronian equivalent of coal? (As in, what you get for Primus-Day if you’re bad.)
30. “Heh heh heh…”
“Hey, what’s that you got there?”
*shoves object in mouth* “Um, nothing…”
31. Soundwave is disappointed when Rumble and/or Frenzy don’t follow in his footsteps.
32. A certain mech or mechs hear about the terms “Hawtobot” and “DeSexiCon” and, to the dismay of everyone around them, use the new vocabulary with glee.
33. (Modified quote from GG) “Look at that!... Back then, ‘Made in Iacon (/Kaon/Cybertron)’ really meant something!”
“…It meant death and destruction.”
“That’s something.”
34. Seekers are often compared to Earth birds. Does that mean they eat Insecticons?
35. I’ve seen the ‘bird-Seeker’ metaphor extended to giving Seekers ‘nesting’ instincts, but I’ve never seen Bumblebee get the urge to build a hive.
36. The nature of a microscope isn’t necessarily to see things, but to extend the vision of others. Perceptor himself can’t see everything, but he can help others to see what they otherwise would not.

Reply Part 1
Date: 2008-08-29 04:41 am (UTC)A. Poor Brawn! *hugs Brawn*
B. Does Perceptor know though? He might suspect if he notices how Brawn isn't confused at his explanations. Or if he knows what's what.
Perceptor: "Brawn, could you please hand me [insert name of scientific device here]."
Brawn: *hands it to him without thinking*
Perceptor: "Thank you." *suddenly realizes something and gives Brawn a look*
Brawn: *ignores* *curses self for slip*
C. Awww! That's so sweet of him!
D. Brawn has a crush! That's so cute! And that's so sweet of him! I wonder if Perceptor will ever realize.
E. *loves* Someone needs to see them arguing playfully!
F. So... they hate each other?
G. That... is so mean! Brawn, how could you? And what if Perceptor learned this, but didn't know what to do about it?
2. That'd be interesting! Or... Red Alert is Sideswipe's twin and... Grapple is Sunstreaker's?
4. Sunstreaker and Tracks are in constant pain? Or... they hurt themselves deliberately to appear more beautiful? Like how some humans will stop eating or will undergo dangerous surgery to 'improve' their looks?
5. Soundwave: *glares at Rumble* "Removal of bell: Required."
Rumble: *pouts*
Ravage: *frantically chasing his tail*
6. And his love of fire is explain! *loves* I'm so glad you added this!
7. And when and where he'll reappear.
Perceptor: *aims at empty area of sky* *fires*
Skywarp: *appears in that exact spot just as the missile/laser blast gets there*
Optimus: *stares as a badly damaged Skywarp falls from sky* "... How does he do that?"
Prowl: *stares* *crashes*
Perceptor: *smirks*
8. *LOVES* I'm glad you added this one too!
Shockwave: "Listen to me, Perceptor-"
Perceptor: "Do you think I cannot see your intentions, Shockwave? You forget how I was created."
9. Red Alert: "I DO NOT NEED A BABYSITTER!!!!"
Inferno: *cowers* "Of course you don't, Red." *mumbles to himself* "But I'm gettin' ya one anyways."
11. *looks up* *confused* So he... lies?
12. Which is why Optimus has forbidden any Autobot from listening.
13. Thundercracker?
14. Well, supposing Red can be referred to as a shade of brown... Red, I guess.
Some interesting things Wikipedia had to say:
The photographic red-eye effect is more prominent in people with pale (blue or grey) eyes
Often, lighter skinned newborns have blue eyes, which change to green, hazel, light brown or dark brown. This is possibly the origin of the idiom "being blue-eyed" (i. e. naïve; gullible).
Yes, I did look at a couple of sites to figure it out. I remember seeing this real good one once. Can't find it now. *pouts*
16. *loves*
18. Rumble: *binding one of Ravage's legs to Ravage's body*
Ravage: *not amused*
19. Optimus: *slaps his arm* "Perceptor, how are you coming with that bug spray?"
Perceptor: "Hmmm?" *thinks for a moment* "Oh, sorry, Optimus. I was distracted by the fascinating-"
Optimus: "I don't care, Perceptor." *slaps his other arm* "Just get working on that bug spray!"
Perceptor: *pouts* "Yes, sir."
20. *cackles*
21. *loves*
23. I've actually seen lime green construction vehicles. And purple ones. And blue ones. But it would be funny seeing the Constructicons' reactions to this order.
Reply to Part 1 - Part 1
Date: 2008-08-29 05:12 am (UTC)Maybe he knows, but he doesn't want to expose Brawn because he thinks Brawn's just being modest. Or maybe Perceptor thinks that Brawn is secretly a super-awesome-amazing-genius scientist, and he's being really careful not to drive him away...
D. I wonder if Perceptor will ever realize.
If he gets captured, or overhears Decepticons continuously referring to him as stupid (despite the fact that he cleared up that little cosmic rust problem), he might get a little confused and suspicious. He probably wouldn't suspect Brawn though.
And what if Perceptor learned this, but didn't know what to do about it?
Legally, I don't know what he could do... Maybe Swindle would have some suggestions?
Grapple is Sunstreaker's?
Hmmm... they both have different concepts of 'beauty', and they're both dedicated to those concepts in their own separate ways. Could work!
Soundwave: *glares at Rumble* "Removal of bell: Required."
Rumble: *pouts*
Ravage: *frantically chasing his tail*
*cackles* What if he welded it on? Not quite so much the stealth-cat then... Wonder how the 'Bots would react if they caught Ravage because of that bell.
And his love of fire is explain! *loves* I'm so glad you added this!
I'm glad you liked it. It took a considerable amount of brain-bending to come up with reasons why this would work.
Perceptor: *aims at empty area of sky* *fires*
Skywarp: *appears in that exact spot just as the missile/laser blast gets there*
Optimus: *stares as a badly damaged Skywarp falls from sky* "... How does he do that?"
Prowl: *stares* *crashes*
Perceptor: *smirks*
Megatron: *immediately tries to recruit Perceptor so they can stop Skywarp's stupid pranks*
Starscream: *scrambles for rare scientific data to bribe Perceptor with in exchange for teaching him how to detect the warp location*
I wonder if Perceptor could somehow use this ability to hitch a ride with Skywarp? And if he can see where he goes, could he figure out how to get there himself? I guess the question would be if Perceptor could figure out how to get into warp-space and back out again...
Re: Reply to Part 1 - Part 1
Date: 2008-08-31 04:12 am (UTC)So Perceptor is either being really sweet, or really sneaky. Or maybe... both!
If he gets captured, or overhears Decepticons continuously referring to him as stupid (despite the fact that he cleared up that little cosmic rust problem), he might get a little confused and suspicious. He probably wouldn't suspect Brawn though.
He's probably think it was something he himself did. He's not one to place blame on others, even if that's where it should be.
Legally, I don't know what he could do... Maybe Swindle would have some suggestions?
Swindle/Perceptor! *LOVES* Swindle would be so helpful... for a price.
Hmmm... they both have different concepts of 'beauty', and they're both dedicated to those concepts in their own separate ways. Could work!
Wow. My suggestion was better than I thought! I just wanted him related to a construction worker.
*cackles* What if he welded it on? Not quite so much the stealth-cat then... Wonder how the 'Bots would react if they caught Ravage because of that bell.
Ratchet: "Do you hear something?"
Wheeljack: *listens* "I hear... bells?"
Perceptor: *smiles* "Here kitty kitty kitty!" *looks under desk*
Ravage: *remembers what happened the last time Perceptor got a hold of him* *cowers*
Optimus: *stares at Ravage* "What should we do with him?"
Ratchet: "Well, he was stupid enough to try to spy on us while wearing a bell... I say we let Perceptor keep him for a few days."
Perceptor: *cuddles Ravage*
Ravage: *holds up a Help Me sign*
Megatron: *immediately tries to recruit Perceptor so they can stop Skywarp's stupid pranks*
Megatron: "Constructicons! I want you to build Perceptor the most advance lab you can come up with!"
Scrapper: "What if he refuses to join?"
Megatron: *smirks* "Once he sees the lab I'm giving him, he wouldn't even dream of refusing."
Starscream: *scrambles for rare scientific data to bribe Perceptor with in exchange for teaching him how to detect the warp location*
Starscream: *looking through datapads* "Mating habits, evolution, solar decay, string theory..." *tosses datapads away one by one* "Genetic mutations, quantum physics, peanut butter." *pauses* "Peanut butter?" *glares* "Skywarp, you left your prank supply list in my room again!" *tosses away and continues looking* "Divine proportion, electro projection..."
I wonder if Perceptor could somehow use this ability to hitch a ride with Skywarp? And if he can see where he goes, could he figure out how to get there himself? I guess the question would be if Perceptor could figure out how to get into warp-space and back out again...
Would he want to get out again? I assume there is some kind of creature that can life in warp space. Perceptor would enjoy studying them. In the end, Skywarp might have to come and get him. But would he be able to? Skywarp is usually in warp space for only a few seconds. Not exactly long enough to realize what's in there.
Re: Reply to Part 1 - Part 1
Date: 2008-09-01 10:58 pm (UTC)Multiple-Personalities Perceptor?
He's probably think it was something he himself did. He's not one to place blame on others, even if that's where it should be.
So if he's not one to blame people, then how is he an Autobot? Because Autobots blame Decepticons for everything. *ponders*
I just wanted him related to a construction worker.
*pictures Sunstreaker in a big yellow hard hat* At least it matches his paintjob.
Ravage: *remembers what happened the last time Perceptor got a hold of him* *cowers*
*wants art of Puppy!Perceptor chasing Kitten!Ravage*
Ratchet: "Well, he was stupid enough to try to spy on us while wearing a bell... I say we let Perceptor keep him for a few days."
Someone once suggested Judge Optimus... What about Judge Ratchet? Because that's pretty fitting justice there, Ratch'.
Megatron: *smirks* "Once he sees the lab I'm giving him, he wouldn't even dream of refusing."
Smart mech.
Starscream: *looking through datapads* "Mating habits, evolution, solar decay, string theory..." *tosses datapads away one by one* "Genetic mutations, quantum physics, peanut butter." *pauses* "Peanut butter?"
Starscream: "No, wait, Perceptor, this is the wrong datapad..."
Perceptor: "Peanut butter!" *pounces* "I love peanut butter! Do you have any at the 'Con base?"
Starscream: *isn't sure whether to shoot Skywarp or thank him*
Perceptor would enjoy studying them.In the end, Skywarp might have to come and get him. But would he be able to? Skywarp is usually in warp space for only a few seconds. Not exactly long enough to realize what's in there.
Maybe Skywarp tried to stay in warp space before, and once he'd been there for a few seconds the other dimension grabbed hold of him and it took him millions of years to escape. And the other dimension pulls at him and urges him to pop back in, just for a second or two... and if he isn't constantly doing something in his own dimension, he's always tempted to just go back to the warp space dimension that waits for him and calls to him... and stay there forever...
Or maybe time moves more slowly in the warp dimension, so Skywarp and Perceptor can spends weeks or months in there and then come back seconds after they've left. Maybe Skywarp has a secret family of warp-creatures that adopted him the first time he got lost there by accident, and every time he warps he's really visiting his warp-creature family.
Re: Reply to Part 1 - Part 1
Date: 2008-09-02 09:56 am (UTC)*LOVES* And Brawn is the only one that knows about both/all of Perceptor's personalities!
So if he's not one to blame people, then how is he an Autobot? Because Autobots blame Decepticons for everything. *ponders*
Maybe he's actually a Decepticon, pretending to be an Autobot. So as an Autobot he blames himself for being a Decepticon? I think I just confused myself...
*pictures Sunstreaker in a big yellow hard hat* At least it matches his paintjob.
I want someone to draw this now. Quickly, before Sunstreaker realizes what he's wearing.
*wants art of Puppy!Perceptor chasing Kitten!Ravage*
*ALSO WANTS*
Someone once suggested Judge Optimus... What about Judge Ratchet? Because that's pretty fitting justice there, Ratch'.
Ratchet: *shocked* "I wasn't being serious."
Optimus: *watches as Perceptor happily plays with a crying Ravage* "It's your turn to be Judge; of course you were taken seriously." *continues watching* "At least it's keeping him occupied."
Perceptor: *ties another bow on Ravage*
Optimus: "Though I wonder where he got all those ribbons."
Ratchet: *sighs* "Blaster loaned them to him. Something about Steeljaw."
Optimus: *stares at Ratchet* "I don't want to know."
Smart mech.
Sadly, Optimus is not so smart and only gave Perceptor a small room off of Wheeljack's lab. So it's no surprise Perceptor happily took Megatron up on his offer.
Starscream: "No, wait, Perceptor, this is the wrong datapad..."
Perceptor: "Peanut butter!" *pounces* "I love peanut butter! Do you have any at the 'Con base?"
Starscream: *isn't sure whether to shoot Skywarp or thank him*
Starscream: "Perceptor, what are you working on today?"
Perceptor: "Oh, Megatron said that I shouldn't-"
Starscream: *holds out giant jar of peanut butter*
Perceptor: *trails off* *stares at peanut butter* "..." *grabs peanut butter and launches into an indepth technical discussion*
Starscream: *takes notes*
Maybe Skywarp tried to stay in warp space before, and once he'd been there for a few seconds the other dimension grabbed hold of him and it took him millions of years to escape.

Maybe Skywarp has a secret family of warp-creatures that adopted him the first time he got lost there by accident, and every time he warps he's really visiting his warp-creature family.
And Perceptor is also accepted as a part of the family when he and Skywarp start dating. In the warp dimension, they live happily and start a family of their own, forbidden their sparklings from leaving the warp dimension until the war is over. However, when the sparklings sense that their creators have been injured and are now on the brink of death, they break this most important of rules...
Re: Reply to Part 1 - Part 1
Date: 2008-09-02 09:57 pm (UTC)What if Brawn IS one of Perceptor's personalities? He's the tough, no-nonsense warrior personality that Perceptor is always denying he possesses. In fact, Perceptor is so in denial that the 'Brawn' personality is part of him, that in his head he's made 'Brawn' into a different mech and treats him like the make-believe enemies children make up: a natural foil for himself, entirely different, yet impossible not to like because in a way that make-believe enemy is also the child who creates it. And I don't know if any of that made sense.
Maybe he's actually a Decepticon, pretending to be an Autobot. So as an Autobot he blames himself for being a Decepticon? I think I just confused myself...
*is also somewhat confused* I sort of got it... but my knotted-up brain wishes I didn't.
I want someone to draw this now. Quickly, before Sunstreaker realizes what he's wearing.
*snicker* Sideswipe tricked him into wearing it by telling him that it's a crown!
Optimus: *stares at Ratchet* "I don't want to know."
Neither do I.
Starscream: *takes notes*
Studious!Starscream looks adorable in my head. Mostly because he's being quiet, which is very unusual.
*LOVES*
*modifies and tosses onto next bunny list* I seem to get all my best bunnies from discussions with you.
"5. One of the bunny posters in this community is actually a Transformer."
Are you secretly Soundwave? *peers at you suspiciously*
However, when the sparklings sense that their creators have been injured and are now on the brink of death, they break this most important of rules...
So there's another big, dramatic battle going on and suddenly a bunch of sparklings pop out of nowhere and rush at the injured Skywarp and Perceptor, squealing 'Mommy!! Daddy!!'?
Mass chaos ensues. *is amused*
And of course, these sparklings are totally invulnerable. Since they were sparked (heck, probably conceived) and raised in warp space, they didn't even have to learn to warp like Skywarp and Percy - it's instinctive. So if they sense, say, a fusion cannon blast headed their way, they wouldn't even turn to look at it, they'd just warp out of the way.
This one would be hard to write without making the sparklings obnoxious, unlikeable Mary Sues (Baby Sues?).

Yes, Studious!Starscream is very cute. Don't let him hear you say that though.

That's what I'm here for!
Are you secretly Soundwave? *peers at you suspiciously*
If I'm Soundwave, someone erased my memories and stuck me in the body of an organic female.
... I'll kill whoever did that to me!

Hmmm... sounds too openly emotional. Nope, not Soundwave. (But if you were than Perceptor/Soundwave would be practically canon.)

BLURR! XD Skywarp + Perceptor = Craziness and disregard for others' audial receptors + a 'way with words' = Blurr! YES!

Perceptor: "Do you think I cannot see your intentions, Shockwave? You forget how I was created."
Shockwave: "No one knows about... that... and no one would believe you if you tried to tell them. Legally, *I* am your creator and if you don't want to be disowned and tossed out on the streets of Kaon, you'll do as I say."
*looks up* *confused* So he... lies?
*also looks up*
a person, esp. an orator or political leader, who gains power and popularity by arousing the emotions, passions, and prejudices of the people. ~dictionary.com
I don't know why I felt the need to use that word in particular. I was thinking of Optimus as a sort of Hitler-like figure: knowing how to rouse the people and play off their fears, etc., but really doing horrible, horrible stuff.
12. Which is why Optimus has forbidden any Autobot from listening.
But he can't forbid Blaster from listening! Especially if Soundwave is broadcasting Megatron's speech on all channels!
Thundercracker?
Hmmm! Reminds me of that Thunderous Prime picture and the drabble that someone else wrote based on it. Good choice! Now I wanna see Skywarp using Starscream as a loud, screechy distraction while he secretly tries to take over the 'Cons himself, and Thundercracker has to take over first before Skywarp gets control.
The photographic red-eye effect is more prominent in people with pale (blue or grey) eyes
!!!!! Red Alert's blackmail pictures! He found a bunch of pictures in really old files, when Cybertron's photographic/holographic technology was less sophisticated, and all of the older 'Bots had red-eye! So he really has a reason for thinking they're secretly 'Cons!

Date: 2008-08-31 04:31 am (UTC)Perceptor: "And then you'll be alone. All alone for four million years."
Shockwave: "What are you talking about? What is a 'year'?"
Perceptor: *glares*
Shockwave: "And I won't be alone. Megatron is here."
Perceptor: "He's going after the Ark."
Shockwave: "He will be back within the Vorn."
Perceptor: "Then it will be the longest Vorn in history because the Nemesis is not coming back."
Shockwave: *stares*
I was thinking of Optimus as a sort of Hitler-like figure: knowing how to rouse the people and play off their fears, etc., but really doing horrible, horrible stuff.
Considering the way he treats the Dinobots, I can sadly see this happening.
But he can't forbid Blaster from listening! Especially if Soundwave is broadcasting Megatron's speech on all channels!
And maybe Soundwave is making sure to send it directly to Blaster. Blaster will listen in awe, record it, and play it secretly to anyone who will listen.
!!!!! Red Alert's blackmail pictures! He found a bunch of pictures in really old files, when Cybertron's photographic/holographic technology was less sophisticated, and all of the older 'Bots had red-eye! So he really has a reason for thinking they're secretly 'Cons!
*LOVES* I wonder what he will think when he notices red-eye on the photos of humans. Think they're 'Cons too? Or will Sparkplug manage to make him understand?

So, was Perceptor sent to pose as an Autobot but really to deliver a secret message to the Decepticons?
Considering the way he treats the Dinobots, I can sadly see this happening.
*cries* Go to Uncle Megatron, Dinos! He'll treat you better!
And maybe Soundwave is making sure to send it directly to Blaster. Blaster will listen in awe, record it, and play it secretly to anyone who will listen.
And every Autobot who hears it wants to meet Megatron, but Blaster's fondest wish is to meet the unknown communications mech who sent him the speech and thank him for saving his sanity.
Or will Sparkplug manage to make him understand?
*wants to see this conversation* And if Red Alert has been exposed to horror movies (or book-Voldemort from the Harry Potter books, who has red eyes), then it'll be even harder to explain.
Eject and Rewind: *struggle to get lose and start wrestling*
And unknowingly (and much to the amusement of Soundwave and Blaster watching), they're exactly mirroring the much-larger forms of Optimus and Megatron wrestling just a few yards away.
Optimus and Megatron: *don't notice they're tied together, start punching each other (Optimus giving a speech at the same time) and can't understand why they can't knock each other away*
Now this also looks hilarious in my head. And I can actually see this happening in canon.
Soundwave and Blaster: *cuddle and watch the chaos*
Far, far away. Through a hidden camera. Actually, they probably went back to one of the bases with their cassettes and are cuddling there on a couch or something.

There are some things which were just not created with Cybertronians in mind. And they're so much fun when we go ahead and apply them to Cybertronians anyway.

Awww... That is so cute!
Sadly, it's unlikely that he'll ever get to meet Soundwave as Optimus found out what Blaster's done and has locked him up in
an ivory towerthe brig. Blaster is then slowly forgotten and all he has to hold onto is the memory of the myserty mech that sent him that message so very long ago...*wants to see this conversation* And if Red Alert has been exposed to horror movies (or book-Voldemort from the Harry Potter books, who has red eyes), then it'll be even harder to explain.
Poor Sparkplug is going to get a headache, Red Alert is going to be so confused, and Inferno would be rolling his optics if he could.

Date: 2008-09-02 09:34 pm (UTC)I was trying to figure out how Perceptor (Shockwave's "creation" on Cybertron) became Perceptor, the mild-mannered Autobot scientist on Earth.
... Someone needs to draw Megatron as Uncle Sam in one of those posters.
Him and Optimus! Actually, both of them posing on the same poster.
*Uncle Optimus and Uncle Megatron want YOU to join the fight against Unicron and Fan-writer Cruelty!*
Perceptor: *joins immediately*
Optimus found out what Blaster's done and has locked him up in an ivory tower
Soundwave: Blaster-punzel, Blaster-punzel, let down your hair.
Blaster: Blaster-punzel? That speech thingy of yours is getting weirder all the time. And I don't have hair...
Soundwave: Suggestion for liberation - cassette-chain-ladder.
Cassettes: *whimper*
Blaster: *whirls around* Are you implying that I'm FAT?!
Cassettes and Soundwave: *flinch*
Maybe they went back to their own little secret love nest base.
Hmmm, Blaster and Soundwave have their own base? *ponders... and scribbles new bunny* These things just won't stop spawning.
You know, I've seen a pic with the Aerialbots doing the Macarena. And one with Optimus doing it.
I read a 2007 fic once where the human army people had to stop Jazz from teaching the Macarena to the other Autobots because if they all did it at the same time, the bit where everyone jumps would cause massive destruction when they landed.
Re: Reply to Part 1 - Part 2
Date: 2008-09-04 12:05 am (UTC)Maybe he did go to spy on the Autobots, but not on Shockwave's orders. And not for the Decepticon cause. Maybe Primus wanted him to keep an optic on someone?
Him and Optimus! Actually, both of them posing on the same poster. And it doesn't HAVE to be the classic "Uncle Sam" pose, if you know what I mean.
... Porn?
*Uncle Optimus and Uncle Megatron want YOU to join the fight against Unicron and Fan-writer Cruelty!*
Perceptor: *joins immediately*
Perceptor, that's so sweet of you! Wanting to protect the fan-writers from cruelty!

I remember reading a Jazz fic about him dancing (a bunch of different dances including the Macarena) but I don't remember anything about him trying to teach the others.

Um- well it COULD be like, a cheesy-grinning peace-sign-at-camera pose. It COULD. Really.
Perceptor: *thinks* 'I'm just following Punch's advice and destroying you from within.' *insane giggling*
*thinks* Could Perceptor use his lens barrel or something to focus a laser blast so it bypassed the outer armor and just hit internal systems (or the spark chamber)? So, his enemy would be laughing about how the dumb microscope is pointing his lens barrel at him instead of a blaster, and then he just falls over offline without a mark on him.
Rewind: "Blaster, we said we're sorry. You're not fat."

Yeah, that was the one. I guess maybe the humans were just hoping that Jazz didn't teach it to the others or something.

*sporfle* Who would be the better dancer? For slow dances like that, I mean. For fast, modern dancing, for some reason I imagine both of them would be absolutely terrible (but everyone around them would be too afraid to offer suggestions).

I see Megatron as a skilled slow dancer. Optimus, on the other hand, would be tripping over his own feet.
And if they tried fast modern dancing... for some, it would be like a train wreck. They wouldn't be able to look away. Others, like poor Blaster who isn't allowed to leave as he's providing the music, wouldn't even bear to look.

Death was probably what would have happened if Ratchet caught them going at it like rabbits in his office. I'm surprised Red Alert, at least, didn't think of the 'Con base. Of all mechs, he'd be the one able to hack their security cameras for the needed photographic evidence.
He could have a special collar made where the name changes every few seconds or so.
