Another bunch.

1. Megatron: “Constructicons! Build me this!”

Later…

Megatron: “Constructicons! Build me that!”

And later…

Megatron: “Constructicons! Build me one of those!”

Hook: “…No.”

Megatron: “What did you say, you miserable minion?”

Hook: “We’re tired. And do you even know our individual names? Because you’ve been referring to us collectively for millions of years.”

Megatron: “…”

 

2. Ravage and Laserbeak could talk once… before it happened.

 

3. Soundwave takes Ravage to the Constructicons to be neutered after an… incident.

 

4. The Constructicons are finally asked to build a device that’s completely beyond their scientific understanding.

 

5. The ancient laws which establish the Prime’s power are basically ‘divine right to rule’ laws. What happens when the Cybertronians discover that humans have defied the ‘divine right to rule’ and flourished without it? In this one way, maybe Cybertronian society actually has a little catching up to do when compared with human society.

 

6. What if Cybertron was the physical form of Unicron, and Primus was the one just floating around somewhere? (Or maybe Primus is Earth?)

 

7. Wreck-Garus Prime.

 

8. Megatron sets in motion another outlandish, ridiculous scheme. By this point, the humans aren’t even worried anymore because they know the Autobots will take care of it… except this time, they can't (or just don’t). The Decepticons win, and no one (not even the ‘Cons) knows why this plan worked when so many similar plans failed.

 

9. The Autobots go to investigate a suspicious grouping of Decepticon signals and find them in the middle of a ‘teamwork’ workshop.

 

10. The humans have got it all wrong. The Autobots and Decepticons on Earth are just filming a holo-movie. The movie director is one of the ‘minor’ TFs who’s given himself a cameo role. But the humans don’t even see most of what’s being filmed… and they’d never guess what the holo-movie is actually about.

 

11. Primus and Unicron never could predict exactly what their creations would do. The war, an inevitable result of political and social tension which would serve to eventually mend the crumbling Cybertronian society, began predictably – disagreements in the Senate set off the fuse to start the war. What Primus and Unicron didn’t understand was that several mechs whom they had earmarked to be important Decepticon officers were drawn into the Autobot cause, and vice versa.

 

12. “Inferno would gladly send the world to Hell if it meant Red Alert would love him forever.”

 

13. Anyone seen the movie Hancock?

A. “Hey Jazz, why do you hang around with him, anyway? I mean, he’s such an uptight, boring aftshaft!”

“Call Prowl an aftshaft… one more time.”

            B. “So, Inferno, were you ordered to take care of Red Alert? Because there’s no way any sane mech would volunteer to take care of that crazy glitch.”

“Call Red crazy… one more time.”

 

14. “One of these days, he’s not even going to try to get away.”

 

15. Every subgroup of each faction (i.e., the Autobot scientists, Soundwave’s cassettes, the Seekers, the Dinobots…) has its own mini-base, separate from the Ark and the main ‘Con base.

A. And if one group trespasses in another group’s area... well, let’s just say that each base has its own unique ‘rules’.

B. Some bases are even cross-faction, for when certain types of mechs just have to be around their ‘own kind’ for a bit; i.e., Constructicons sharing a base with Grapple, Hoist, and Roadhauler; or an all-flyer, no-ground-pounders-allowed base.

 

16. Seekers/Aerialbots fly south for the winter/north in spring.

 

17. Once, Skywarp tried to escape his life by just staying in warp-space, forever neither here nor there. He'd only been there for a few seconds when that strange dimension grabbed hold of him and wouldn’t let him go. It took him what felt like millions of years (in his dimension’s time) to escape. And even now, 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 sings in his mind and calls to him... waiting for him to come back, to stay for an eternity, caught between two moments.

 

18. I saw a TV show once (Discovery Channel?) where it was predicted that if the human race ever died out, the next intelligent species to evolve on Earth would be some sort of squid-like beings. Quintessons?

 

19. (GG line) “Technically they’re called ‘Fun-sized Mobile Agony and Death Dispensers’.”

 

20. I’ve seen theories guessing the order-of-precedence of Soundwave’s cassettes. The most prevalent one seems to be Ravage (oldest), Rumble & Frenzy, Laserbeak & Buzzsaw, Ratbat (youngest). But what if these theories are all incorrect, and cassettes are set apart from other types of Cybertronians not because of their small size or alt form, but because they are sparked in litters? Gestalts might also fall under this category, or maybe random groups of mechs are (knowingly or unknowingly) actually littermates.

 

21. Similarly, fanon opinion seems to differ on Ravage’s “gender”, as well as Laserbeak’s. Maybe all cassettes have the ability to perform the exclusive functions of either gender?

 

22. The Cybertronians were astounded to find that the ‘females’ of the human species were generally perceived as loving, gentle caretakers and the primary teachers/guardians of human young. On Cybertron, where different genders were not required for procreation, ‘femmes’ were created because of a disturbing trend in sparkling design.

 

Some creators were nervous due to rising political tensions and ranting hysterics who claimed that Cybertron was on the very brink of vicious war. Others simply lived in a bad area where sparklings might face considerable danger. Irresponsible creators were starting to build sparkling frames with armor and powerful (sometimes even fatal) weapon systems.

 

As Cybertron was slowly engulfed in riots and social unrest, more and more of these dangerous sparklings were orphaned by the spreading violence. Often, the orphans themselves were victims of processor damage. The young sparklings would act on their extremely basic social programming and band together in small groups for mutual protection. Their immaturity and inability to analyze perceived threats, combined with their advanced weaponry and the untreated glitches many of them had developed, made encounters with wandering orphan groups a serious threat to any lone mech. As attempts to reason with or forcibly upgrade the sparklings failed and the frequency and severity of attacks increased, it was clear that something had to be done.

 

Project W.U.M.U.N.S. (Warrior Units for Management of Unsafe New-Sparked) called for a group of warriors with specifically-tailored programming and significantly altered forms. This group was trained to hunt down and remove these dangerous orphans from society – by whatever means necessary. Their frames were designed to be smaller and slighter than a normal Cybertronian’s: the simple processors of the sparklings would thus register a femme as a much less serious threat than a larger and more dangerous-looking mech.

Who is Dr. Michaels? I can't figure out what's going on except that Ravage did something he shouldn't have and got caught.
