They aren't that good (school is eating all my mental activity, so I've been short on ideas), but have fun anyway:
1. An advanced (more so than the TFs) alien race diagnoses Blurr's speed as a glitch in his programming and offers to fix it for him. He can't decide if he wants to accept. If he does, he knows others won't find him so annoying and maybe then he won't be an outcast, but then he won't have his speed which makes him useful in the eyes of his superiors.
2. Laserbeak is tired of being a cassette and asks Soundwave to upgrade her into a femme body. To the shock of both the Autobots and Decepticons, she's (by their standards) gorgeous. (Bonus points if Rumble and Frenzy become super protective) The one mech she can't capture the attention of, however, is the only one whose opinion she values most.
2a. That one mech is Ravage.
2b. That one mech is Soundwave.
2c. That one mech is Megatron or Optimus.
2d. It's Blaster.
2e. Just because I know someone will want me to, it's Perceptor. (You know who you are)
3. Thundercracker X Tracks. Inspired by the fact that my best friend's car is named Tracks and her parents' TC.
4. G1 Wreck-Gar meets Animated Wreck-Gar and decides to take him in as a son.
5. TF:Ani. Megatron decides to kill Ultra Magnus and take his place. Inspired by a conversation with alabaster_demon on the Autobots being very Communistic.
6. Inspired by the same conversation, I'm curious to see what you all come up with just with the suggestion that the TF:Ani Autobots are a lot like Soviets.
7. Perceptor realises he preferred being in the agile Nijika body, rather than his own bulky form, and begins making a new body for himself.
8. One of the humans makes a connection - the Transformers drink energon and also bleed it. Therefore they must be vampires.
9. Raoul and Astoria meet... and their personalities clash HORRIBLY. Tracks and Powerglide are caught up in their battle.
10. A drunken Megatron (or any other Decepticon, if you prefer) proposes to a very confused Autobot.
11. The morning after number 10.
12. HardheadXBlurr. Because even though they totally kissed IN CANON, I'm the only person who ever does anything for them.
13. What are the Cybertronian equivalents of our really kinky fetishes?
14. Rumble and Frenzy somehow switch bodies with Sunstreaker and Sideswipe. How long can the two sets of twins keep up the ruse before they can figure out how to get their own bodies back?
15. ?? (to Springer): "You always loved her, didn't you? Even when you were with me, it was her face you were picturing, and now that Hot Rod is out of the picture, I'm nothing, aren't I?"
16: "If we weren't on opposite sides, we'd make a pretty good team."
17. Skywarp warps someplace with an Autobot stuck to him, causing him to warp somewhere totally new and different from where he'd intended. They have to work together to get back. (I was thinking Sideswipe, but it can be whoever.)
18. I don't remember the episode, but Ravage actually CAN speak - he just chooses not to. Why do you suppose this is?
19. Not having gender, the Transformers are surprised to witness a Gay Pride parade - and shocked to see Homophobic protestors.
20. A bot from G1 somehow switches bodies with their counterpart from Animated. ("Freaky Friday" was on earlier.)

Date: 2008-10-02 03:25 am (UTC)I sympathize completely. *wince*
1. An advanced (more so than the TFs) alien race diagnoses Blurr's speed as a glitch...
And if he isn't useful to his superiors, he may well become an outcast anyway... I imagine that this is a one-time offer for Blurr (perhaps the aliens are just passing through the galactic area and he'll probably never see them again). I'm not sure I've ever seen a fic that seriously looks into Blurr's perspective. This kind of makes me want to see Decepticon!Blurr now: he wouldn't have to worry about being annoying to others, because A) most of the Decepticons are/can be even more annoying; B) as a 'Con he wouldn't care if he was bothering someone else or not; and C) as long as he was useful and not rebellious, he wouldn't need to worry about getting kicked out.
Laserbeak is tired of being a cassette and asks Soundwave to upgrade her...
I guess the one mech being Soundwave is supported by the fact that he made her body gorgeous in the first place. And protective!cassette-twins are *adorable*.
If it was Ravage, she might only realize it after her spark is transferred, and try to persuade Ravage to also ask for a body-change. I can see Ravage being really attached to his cyber-panther form, though... it's pretty slagging cool.
If it was Megatron or Optimus, she might have a pretty strong advantage right from the start. I bet she has plenty of blackmail on both of them. And if she doesn't, Soundwave could probably find her some... or she could manipulate Reflector into taking some incriminating pictures...
5. TF:Ani. Megatron decides to kill Ultra Magnus and take his place. Inspired by a conversation with alabaster_demon on the Autobots being very Communistic.
6. Inspired by the same conversation, I'm curious to see what you all come up with just with the suggestion that the TF:Ani Autobots are a lot like Soviets.
XD The bunnies have spawned!
9. Raoul and Astoria meet... and their personalities clash HORRIBLY. Tracks and Powerglide are caught up in their battle.
Somehow I see this one eventually going toward Tracks/Powerglide.
10. A drunken Megatron (or any other Decepticon, if you prefer) proposes to a very confused Autobot.
And of course, there's a very canon opportunity for him/them to do this XD. Maybe during that one infamous episode, the drunk 'Cons decided to head over to the Ark together and do a big group wedding.
14. Rumble and Frenzy somehow switch bodies with Sunstreaker and Sideswipe. How long can the two sets of twins keep up the ruse before they can figure out how to get their own bodies back?
*wants to see* This one looks really, really fun to read.
16: "If we weren't on opposite sides, we'd make a pretty good team."
*loves* This could apply to so many different Bot-Con pairs/groups... very open to interpretation. It might not even be a Bot and a Con speaking.
17. Skywarp warps someplace with an Autobot stuck to him...
*goes trawling through FF.net* Really Bad Eggs (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2178539/1/Really_Bad_Eggs) by PuraJazzBot has Skywarp taking Prowl and Bluestreak on a little jaunt.

That was the general idea, yes. Poor Blurr.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a fic that seriously looks into Blurr's perspective.
Me either, but I'd really like to. (Thus why I put stuff like this forth)
This kind of makes me want to see Decepticon!Blurr now: he wouldn't have to worry about being annoying to others, because A) most of the Decepticons are/can be even more annoying; B) as a 'Con he wouldn't care if he was bothering someone else or not; and C) as long as he was useful and not rebellious, he wouldn't need to worry about getting kicked out.
Ooh, so, so true. But he is too eager to do good. Though maybe that's why the Shattered Glass version of him works so well.
I guess the one mech being Soundwave is supported by the fact that he made her body gorgeous in the first place. And protective!cassette-twins are *adorable*.
I don't know if that supports it, since the idea was that she couldn't get their attention, but it could bring forth a whole different plot point. *is intrigued* And, yes, I do love the idea of Rumble and Frenzy to pound anyone who tried to get close to their sister.
If it was Ravage, she might only realize it after her spark is transferred, and try to persuade Ravage to also ask for a body-change. I can see Ravage being really attached to his cyber-panther form, though... it's pretty slagging cool.
This is the one I'm hoping for most, actually. I dunno why, but the idea of RavageXLaserbeak won't leave me alone recently, even though actually seeing it would squick me out a little. I dunno. Just their personalities, I suppose. I'm weird.
If it was Megatron or Optimus, she might have a pretty strong advantage right from the start. I bet she has plenty of blackmail on both of them. And if she doesn't, Soundwave could probably find her some... or she could manipulate Reflector into taking some incriminating pictures...
Ooh, good point! *loves the idea of Laserbeak being manipulative* It seems so interesting when you put it like that!
XD The bunnies have spawned!
These little fraggers breed like crazy! *Shakes baby bunnies off legs*
Somehow I see this one eventually going toward Tracks/Powerglide.
Whaaaaa...!? How so? I'm intrigued!
And of course, there's a very canon opportunity for him/them to do this XD. Maybe during that one infamous episode, the drunk 'Cons decided to head over to the Ark together and do a big group wedding.
It's a real shame they never did that again. The Decepticons make such happy, funny drunks! *wants to see*
*wants to see* This one looks really, really fun to read.
Doesn't it just?! I'm just dying to see some double-twin interaction.
*loves* This could apply to so many different Bot-Con pairs/groups... very open to interpretation. It might not even be a Bot and a Con speaking.
Yes, I'm having fun seeing who everybody thinks is talking! And who else would you think it to be? The Beast Wars characters? (I don't remember what the factions are called!) Or a human and a 'con!

Date: 2008-10-02 08:50 pm (UTC)So you don't think that Shattered Glass Blurr would be slow? I suppose there could be two (or more) mirror-verses: one where the factions/motivations are switched, and one where each individual person's characteristics are reversed. For example, (to use a kirin_saga-type model), a universe with an evil Perceptor and a universe with a stupid, blind Perceptor.
Whaaaaa...!? How so? I'm intrigued!
Well, maybe Tracks & Powerglide were already good friends or even more before they met Raoul and Astoria. Then the two humans would kind of have to accept the situation the way it is.
Or Tracks and Powerglide could get to know each other while trying to mediate between their human friends.
Or Raoul and Astoria could really be moving toward a love/hate kind of relationship, and confuse the poor 'Bots tremendously. "But just yesterday you said you HATED him! Now you're dating him? How does that even work??"
Or Raoul could hang out with Powerglide, and Astoria with Tracks when the humans aren't getting along with their usual Autobot buddies.
*runs from growing bunny horde*
The Beast Wars characters? (I don't remember what the factions are called!)
Er, Maximals and Predacons, I think? *has never watched Beast Wars*
And who else would you think it to be?
Now you're moving into the area of my personal canon, which insists that for every 'Bot there is an equal and opposite
reaction'Con, and vice versa. Not necessarily pairing-wise, but just a strange kind of cross-faction parallel or unusual dynamic.For example: Optimus-Megatron, Skyfire (or Red Alert)-Starscream, Sideswipe-Skywarp, Sunstreaker-Thundercracker, Ratchet-Hook, Wheeljack (or Perceptor)-Mixmaster, Prowl (or Elita-1)-Shockwave, Jazz (or Blaster)-Soundwave, Grimlock (or Silverbolt)-Motormaster plus associated gestalt members, Steeljaw-Ravage, Rewind&Eject-Frenzy&Rumble...
O_O I've never seen that fic before! Thanks for that AMAZING link.
You're welcome! ^__^

Date: 2008-10-02 11:32 pm (UTC)I haven't actually been able to READ Shattered Glass yet, so I'm going purely off of Teletraan. I think he's just as fast, just crueller and not at all as panicky.

I really like that idea. What if the three worlds collided? And does this apply only to G1, or to the other continuities also? Holy crap, that's a lot of 'verses!

You know, I never thought of Tracks and 'Glide together, but it seems as if it'd work.

Oh, man, I could TOTALLY see that! The rich uptown girl and the tough guy from the wrong side of the tracks! (Wrong side of the Tracks? Hehe...) It's like a movie! Now I kinda wanna see Raoul/Astoria... because I really needed more ideas right now...
Or Raoul could hang out with Powerglide, and Astoria with Tracks when the humans aren't getting along with their usual Autobot buddies.
That's actually a cute mental image.

That's a very interesting concept, actually. (And I feel a lot better that I'm not the only one to draw parallels between Sideswipe and Skywarp. I have a feeling they'd be buds if not for the war)

YES. And Thundercracker and Sunstreaker would commiserate over keeping their companions out of trouble.
Sunstreaker: But you're not even *related* to yours. Whenever he goes and gets in trouble, people always give me this pitying look when I come to get him out of it and tell them he's my brother...
Thundercracker: At least until they get to know you - then they start giving Sideswipe the pitying look, right?
Sunstreaker: Shut up.
Thundercracker: But anyway, you think you've got a problem with your twin? At least he can't warp.
Sunstreaker: Hmmm. Good point.
*both picture Sideswipe with warp capabilities*

Date: 2008-10-04 01:44 am (UTC)This is horrible of me, but by thinking about all that the first thing that springs to mind is a giant all-Optimus (or all-Starscream, or all-Megatron, or all-anyone that shows up a lot) orgy.
I just watched a very perverted movie, so sorry for that. XD
I wasn't even considering their personalities. I've kinda gotten used to thinking of the TF humans as not having any.
Oh, but I do like a lot of the secondary humans. It's just the main ones that bother me. (Mostly. Not the case in all continuities. I do like Sari. And I just wish ALL the kids in Armada would be "accidentally" stepped on.)
*sigh* I really need to start a list of movies that I need to see before I die. (or before I go to college)

LAWL! XD
But if they're buds, Siders doesn't even NEED the ability to warp, cos 'Warp can just take him with him. Which comes in handy when trying to escape angry brothers, trine-mates, medics, and victims of being pushed down the stairs.

I do like Sari.
I've been trying to figure it out-- what exactly is it about Sari that makes her so much more accepted than the rest of the mainstream TF humans?
You haven't seen "Forrest Gump"? Have you at least eaten at the restaurant?
No, I haven't... but I'm starting to think that joining this comm not only gives telepathy, but increases the general amount of weird happenings in RL.
About once a month or so the youth group I'm involved in does a dinner & movie thing. Today was one of those d&m days. Guess what movie?
Seriously, that was weird. (The coincidence, not the movie.) I thought when I went that we were gonna be watching Young Frankenstein in honor of October.
It was a great movie though! (And as it turns out, I had seen parts of the movie before but I guess I hadn't known which movie it was.)
*tries very hard not to turn this into a crack!pairing*
Oh, you don't need to. I read a drabble once which had a pre-war 'relationship' (more like just getting together the one time, I think) between Thundercracker and Sunstreaker, with a chance meeting between Sideswipe and Skywarp as the reason that T & Sunst. met.

Hm, you know, I'm not sure, but this does seem to be true. Maybe because she's spunky, or that she has a cute character design, or that everybody likes her VA, or maybe just cos she's not borderline retarded.

Assuming RL stands for "Real Life", I totally agree.
