And that totally made me picture Starscream running around with his head cut off.
I... totally want to see that now.
It was just one time that he took his eyes off the sparkling for a minute, and the next thing he knew the little brat was trying to spike his energon with some chemical while giggling gleefully.
Perceptor looked so disappointed when Ironhide refused to drink it. Ironhide almost agreed to after all... but then Perceptor said that he couldn't wait to see what would grow. Ironhide wisely threw the energon away, staring in horrified fascination as it bubbled and melted everything it touched. Perceptor just looked sad that no sparkly crystals started growing like they should have.
Ironhide never drank energon anywhere near Perceptor after that.
... I wonder if Shockwave's gun form has some sort of scientific use? Because that would make him part of his own lab equipment. *pictures Perceptor with his arms and legs wrapped around an uncomfortable gun-form-Shockwave in a stubborn possessive glomp*
*LOVES THE IMAGE* I WANT TO SEE! Though if Shockwave is part of his own lab equipment... then Perceptor is lab equipment, as well. After all... microscope.
Oh, this reminds me of an cute bit in some fic where Starscream remembered that before the war, when they were investigating foreign planets on a low budget, he'd sleep in alt-mode under Skyfire's wing when conditions were bad. Such an adorable image.
What fic is that I want to read it!
*ponders* Good question! Maybe the back just arches a bit when the dream-self is panicking, and it stops when the person wakes up? Or you start to sit up automatically when you wake and then lie back down before you're fully conscious?
Possible. *wants to float*
Falling through the air, buried, drowning... we missed an element. What about being engulfed in fire? Would that be Seaspray's nightmare?
It would be! Poor Seaspray!
*has inspired new bunny!*
... Sorry, Rewind.
I wonder if it's impolite to 'show off' if a Cybertronian has a more advanced version of the same type of tech as someone else.
Could be. It would make sense.
Ah, but how much of that is unconscious? Because humans aren't necessarily experts in biology and human anatomy just by being organic. And with a doctor always on hand, there's no need for them to have to learn 'medical' stuff if they have some sort of self-repair for minor damage.
True... But we still have a basic understanding of how things work. The heart beats, the lungs breathe... how to eat, drink, move. They may not be geniuses, or know everything there is to know, but they were machines and should therefore know how machines should work. Which part does what, why that part is necessary to allow movement...
