1. You see Autobots and Decepticons turned into humans. You see cassettes turned into their respective animals. This time, it's worse. Someone's turned the Dinobots into dinosaurs.
2. Cybertronian Darwin Awards
3. It's not that when a gestalt is in their combined form that they have to fully agree to do anything, or the dissolution of their minds that makes them so slow at times. It's the fact that they have however many sets of sensors, each sending different completely separate sets of data that sometimes overlap, or even contradict what they can focus on. They have to figure out which information is relevant and react accordingly. This is especially difficult when you have sensory specialists in your team. The Constructicons anyone?
4. He was horrified when he discovered that all of the mech's Social Programming was self written. Programming that should have been there from the start, programming that told someone how things are and work in all social interactions. Even the most basic of codes were not present save for what the mech had written. Basic codes that included what it was a simple smile ment.
5. (Just something that's bothered me since I really started getting into this fandom.) When working with prefixes and suffixes and the entomology of the words, it's interesting how the perception of the Autobots and the Decepticons change.
Auto- means self
Bot- varies; from referance to a larva bot fly and maggots, to two slang words (United Kingdom to bugger and Australia to ask for something with intent of explotation), to finally robots.
Decepti- most likely the shortening of the word deception, to deceive or convince another to believe in untruths half truths and deals heavily in concealment.
Con- means together or with
So... Decepticon = Deceive Together?
6. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are really one mech. He just let's everyone think that his two bodies are twins.
7. (Had written this before #13 here) Someone has rigged the speakers to play Depeche Mode's What's Your Name, whenever --insert vain mech of choice here-- walks into a room.
8. Crossover- Swat Kats. Dr. Hackel built a helpful and brave little robot in episode 'The Deadly Pyramid'. The robot's name? Cybertron.
9. [G1] The reason it took so long for anyone to die in the series is that, as such a long lived species cybertronians have a near pathalogical fear of any one of their kind who dieing. This makes it difficult to kill another of their kind even if they hate them and they know that letting them live will cause them all sorts of problems.
10. ?: "I dare you to sing "Why can't we be friends" during the next battle."
