Everything was so CHEAP in the 30s!
The 1930s have nothing to do with this post. I've just been looking at really old ads. Meat was 18 cents a pound and none of the cars were over $200. That's so not fair.
1. Perceptor's lover gets tired of taking care of him.
2. It's took Perceptor a long time to get people to see him and not his father's son.
3. I Hate Myself for Loving You by Joan Jett.
4. Art. Perceptor sitting on Grimlock's shoulder.
5. Mirage can not turn invisible. He's a ghost that can sometimes become visible.
6. Everyone was hurt in the explosion and were sent away for treatment. It was years before he saw them again.
7. The Cassettes are told that if they don't break their connection with Blaster, Blaster will die.
8. The problem grew because of his protectiveness.
9. Perceptor is curious about death so he attempts to study it using himself as a test subject. (Was there a movie like this? Flatliners?)
10. You know those spam e-mails that advertise sexual enhancements? What would the Cybertronian version be?
11. They lived not in the reflection of the world, but in the mirror itself.
12. Perceptor walked into the rec room, gave everyone an assessing stare, and smiled. And suddenly everyone began feeling horribly, horribly afraid.
13. The Ark once had another name and another crew. The ghosts of that crew aren't happy that their home has been rebuilt, launched, and crashed.
14. Art. Inferno, wearing a bow tie, holding Perceptor, who is wearing a garter, in his arms and kissing him. And at their feet in a Just Married sign.
15. Perceptor dies and someone destroys all the microscopes in the Ark because he can't look at them without thinking of Perceptor.
16. Dion's body was never found. What if he hadn't been hurt as badly as everyone thought? What if he slipped into stasis lock and was found by someone who didn't know who he was? What if, many many vorns later, he woke up?
17. Femme!Dion.
18. Legend tells of the Titans...
19. The Ark mission had been intended to be brief. And so Blaster, who was assigned to the Ark, saw no problem with being separated from his Cassettes for that supposedly brief time. The Cassettes spent four million years being told Blaster was dead, but they could faintly feel that that was a lie.
20. "They do as they are told and only as they are told."
21. He was disturbingly passive.
22. 2007. What if Soundwave was a reprogrammed Blaster?
23. "You can tell a lot about someone by watching how they treat those who are weaker than themselves."
24. Blaster and Perceptor are Cybertronians but not the kind everyone believes they are. Cybertron has stories of mythical beings just as Earth does, and two of them are here.
25. The Decepticons build a device that is guaranteed to destroy the Autobots once and for all. The only problem is, once activated, it's only two seconds before the device goes off. No one is willing to sacrifice themselves and so it seems as if the plan will be scrapped. Until someone comes up with a brilliant solution. "All we have to do is put a Do Not Push sign on the On button. Perceptor will do the rest."
26. Indrik the Beast.
27.He always heard screaming. Even when there was no screaming to be heard.
28. "If it wasn't for me, Barricade and Blaster never would have met."
29. Before the war, several mechs were kidnapped and forced to undergo painful experiments that would eventually give them the ability of mass conversion. The ones doing the experiments were caught and the victims released and the whole thing was covered up. Now, other than the victims themselves, no one alive knows about the experiment and most assume that mass conversion had been brought about by accident. Now though, the truth will come out... now that the things that were done to the test subjects are causing massive systems failures.
30. There were two factions of Quintessons, those that made the Cybertronians (all those who were able to format themselves with mobile altmodes) and those that made all the ones with immobile altmodes.
31. It upsets Perceptor when people ignore him when he discusses his projects. So when someone actually shows interest, it's no wonder that it makes Perceptor happy. Too bad this someone is a Decepticon.
32. Art. Grimlock holding a sparkling!Blaster. Optional: Rewind and/or Eject standing next to them looking nervous (like he's afraid Grimlock will drop Blaster).
33. Perceptor is the creation of a Decepticon that Mirage has been ordered to kill. Mirage did as ordered before discovering the sparkling. Not knowing what else to do, he takes Perceptor with him to the Autobot base.
34. When Percy was a sparkling, he walked off with a stranger. His creators never saw him again.
35. Sudden thought: Red Alert as Mirage and Hound's sparkling!
36. Hound/Red Alert. Inspired by the song Ol' Red by Blake Shelton. That dog sounds like it could be their spawn.
37. "Never let anyone know that you're good with kids. You'll never get out of babysitting duty."
38. It had quickly become a banishment.
39. There's a medical emergency during a mission... and Steeljaw is the only one there to help. "Hands. What I wouldn't give for hands right about now."
40. What if everyone woke up from stasis at different times?
41. Rumble enjoys sitting at a window in the Decepticons' underwater base, watching the ocean life swim past. Hopefully, no one will learn this little secret of his.
42. The Cassettes have a whole little house in there.
43. He was raped by his lover. His lover who was usually so good to him. His lover who, for the first time since they got together, got overcharged. His lover who didn't remember what he had done to him.
44. "I'm a fish."
45. Ratchet finally realizes his temper is out of control.
46. "I went there to feel safe and he followed. It's not safe there anymore."
47. Unicron is lonely.
48. Hook: *whines* "Make them go away."
49. "I'm sorry for being me."
50. Raoul comes across a depressed looking Blaster... and learns that Tracks is, once again, being an ass.
51. It is always difficult with [insert character name here] to know when he is serious and when he is merely amusing himself at one's expense.
52. Ultra Magnus, Blaster, and Perceptor are the Cybertronian versions of the Fates.
53. His creators learned he was trapped in an abusive relationship and try to convince him to leave. He refuses to though, convinced that "It will never happen again. He promised."
54. 2007. It's Halloween and Sam and Mikaela want to take the Autobots trick-or-treating. So they somehow manage to convince them to alter their holoforms so they appear to be costumed children.
55. Perceptor discovers a candy called Pop Rocks.
56. "No one deserves to face the darkness alone."
57. What if Punch was Counterpunch first?
58. Skywarp usually acted so loud and annoying, that when he was quiet no one ever realized he was there.
59. Living in a shattered dream.
60. Teletraan-1 is down and Wheeljack can't get the right parts to fix it until the next contact with Cybertron, which is two Earth months away. Needing communications up and running (especially since the Decepticons had stepped up their attacks), Optimus has Blaster act as the communication hub. Blaster agrees but after a few days, realizes that acting as communications is more tiring than he had expected and he is unable to attend to his normal duties. Optimus agrees to allow him to focus solely on communications so Blaster retreats to his quarters. A few weeks later, Tracks returns from a mission and when he has trouble finding Blaster, he heads to the tapedeck's quarters... and finds Blaster practically catatonic, being cared for by his Cassettes, all his focus on keeping the lines of communication clear and untangled.
61. Wheeljack makes a Cybertronian-sized Pogo Stick.
62. Art. The Dinobots wearing trench coats and fedoras. Trying to look sneaky.
63. Blaster has a habit of picking up cute creatures and bringing them home.
64. An accident caused him to switch bodies with a Decepticon. And now that Decepticon is at the Ark, alone with his lover.
65. A whining Motormaster.
66. Perceptor's creators were fascinated with organic life and began seeking ways to turn barren rock into a thriving ecosystem. They succeeded with Earth. However, since they were seen as eccentric and foolish, they told no one of their project and never returned to Cybertron. They decided to live on Earth's moon, where they could raise their sparkling, Perceptor (created after they left Cybertron) and watch their world develop (with occasional field trips).
67. "Normal is the last thing I'd ever call my life."
68. You know how Sam left Miles on the side of the road? What if Miles never made it home?
69. Crossover with Newsies. Blaster and Perceptor, damaged from a battle, land at the Sheepshead Racetrack in the year 1899.
70. Perceptor was raised by a group of femmes.
71. Beachcomber is assigned a mission with Red Alert. Or is Red Alert the mission?
72. Perceptor and Springer were 'born' triplechangers and were shunned because of it, believed to be monstrous freaks. Their childhood was spent suffering from abuse and neglect before they managed to run away and disappear deep within Cybertron's tunnels. Many vorns later, during one of their rare trips to the surface, they hear rumors of war... and learn that engineers are working on reformatting volunteers into 'artificial' triplechangers. How do they feel about this?
73. Everyone knows (or at least suspects) that Perceptor is insane. But no one thought Blaster was as well.
74. "You can't punish him. He really didn't know any better."
75. Blaster is a serial killer. His Cassettes know and help keep him from being discovered. They don't like that he's a killer, but they don't want him to be punished for a flaw in his programing that he can't help having.
76. Is having a glitch an explanation or an excuse?
77. Kitten!Skywarp.
78. 2007. Perceptor and Blaster were raised, in secret, by a Decepticon. Inspired by number 35 from this post.
79. People sometimes wonder why it takes Red Alert a while to respond to his name. The thing is, having spent most of his life on military bases constantly under threat of attack... every time he hears someone scream "RED ALERT!" he thinks it's a sound of alarm.
80. Perceptor never told anyone that his lens barrel is also a weapon.
81. While the bodies of those aboard the Ark and Nemesis slept for all those years, their spirits were up and roaming. Some stayed on Earth but some managed to make it back to Cybertron. After a while, they manage to find someone who can actually see them (Perceptor). Now though, they need to convince him to arrange for a rescue party and Perceptor needs to convince everyone else that he has not gone insane.
82. Rumble is Blaster's creation. A few orns after Rumble was created, Blaster was attacked and badly injured by Decepticons. One of them, Soundwave, was about to kill Blaster before detecting the newly created Cassette within him. Not wanting to kill a sparkling, Soundwave tore open Blaster's chest and gently removed the sparkling. Soundwave then left taking Rumble with him, 'forgetting' to kill Blaster.
83. Crossover with Spiderwick. No matter the world, there is always magic.
84. "Nothing can hide from the dead."
85. Steeljaw, alone, raised Blaster.
86. The Seibertronian Dictionary Definition For "Dion" - Delete It Or Not.
87. "You want to find us. You want to meet us. You think you want us. But you just don't need us."
88. While making repairs to the Ark, Grapple and Hoist notice that Perceptor's lab is smaller than the blueprints say it should be. What they will discover will shock everyone.
89. What if, when Perceptor was a youngling, his personality was similar to Wednesday Addams? What if the only reason he acts differently now is because someone tried to reprogram him?
90. "You turned me into a soldier."
1. Perceptor's lover gets tired of taking care of him.
2. It's took Perceptor a long time to get people to see him and not his father's son.
3. I Hate Myself for Loving You by Joan Jett.

Who'd you have in mind? One of the Constructicons, maybe? (What would Omega say?) Or maybe even Starscream. He has a CPU in that dark-coloured head of his; maybe he should start using it again. (What would SKYFIRE say?)
There are an awful lot of science-minded (if not straight-up scientist) TFs, now that I think of it. *Tries to resist referencing "Revenge of the Nerds"*
41. Rumble enjoys sitting at a window in the Decepticons' underwater base, watching the ocean life swim past. Hopefully, no one will learn this little secret of his.
Knowing how close (in fanon, anyway) all the cassettes and Soundwave are, his "family" must know. But Primus forbid anyone else find out!
Watching fishies IS fun, though. What if he sees a mermaid? They can grant wishes you know!
57. What if Punch was Counterpunch first?
One of the new TF:Ani Mosaics has him with Counterpunch being the true personality: http://Transformers-Mosaic.deviantart.com/art/LOYALTY-97343809
58. Skywarp usually acted so loud and annoying, that when he was quiet no one ever realized he was there.
Awww... is he depressed? *Hugs Skywarp* What happened? Poor seeker-baby...
68. You know how Sam left Miles on the side of the road? What if Miles never made it home?
He shows up once more in the movie, so we know this isn't the case. But I've often thought this myself. More often than not, this train of thought just ends up being uber depressing. You wouldn't know by looking at him, but when he wants to be Miles can be an absolute angst magnet.
70. Perceptor was raised by a group of femmes.
Explains a lot.
88. While making repairs to the Ark, Grapple and Hoist notice that Perceptor's lab is smaller than the blueprints say it should be. What they will discover will shock everyone.
He's hiding bodies in the walls! (I don't know where that came from, but that's immediately what came to mind.)

12. Perceptor walked into the rec room, gave everyone an assessing stare, and smiled. And suddenly everyone began feeling horribly, horribly afraid.
Run, just run.
26. Indrik the Beast
Oooooooooooooooooooooo
37. "Never let anyone know that you're good with kids. You'll never get out of babysitting duty."
I wrote a TF fic where poor Bluestreak was forced to babysit. I got to did that one up and re-post it or give you guys the link.
44. "I'm a fish."
Did Skywarp tamper with the energon and taint it with the TF equivalent to LSD again???
47. Unicron is lonely.
Unicron: Galvatron!
Galvatron: What do you want?
Unicron: Find me a woman!
Galvatron: BAWAAAA??????????????????
55. Perceptor discovers a candy called Pop Rocks.
Mawahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!
61. Wheeljack makes a Cybertronian-sized Pogo Stick.
Don't let Jack near Percy and the Pop Rocks! XD
62. Art. The Dinobots wearing trench coats and fedoras. Trying to look sneaky.
And I can hear them say "Sneak, sneak, sneak, tip toe, tip toe, sneak, sneak, sneak." As they're sneaking about with everyone giving them real funny looks. XP
77. Kitten!Skywarp.
Cute!
83. Crossover with Spiderwick. No matter the world, there is always magic.
Never piss of the fairy folk, they can be just as nasty as dragons, fiends and aberrations! And trust me most fae detest technology that they can't control, just imagine when what they are capable of doing when they realalize they can't control Transformers!
89. What if, when Perceptor was a youngling, his personality was similar to Wednesday Addams? What if the only reason he acts differently now is because someone tried to reprogram him?
*Evil giggles* Nothing more entertaining than psychologically disturbed children in fiction. XD

This? made me laugh. I didn't even need to think of anything, it just made me laugh. And now that I am thinking, I'm getting a lot of little blurbs and titles with words such as "extensions". i don't think I have to go no further.
42. The Cassettes have a whole little house in there.
I love this mental image.
88. While making repairs to the Ark, Grapple and Hoist notice that Perceptor's lab is smaller than the blueprints say it should be. What they will discover will shock everyone.
Ooh. *wants to see*
89. What if, when Perceptor was a youngling, his personality was similar to Wednesday Addams? What if the only reason he acts differently now is because someone tried to reprogram him?
WANT. I would so totally do this if I didn't have other fics that I need to get finished (and start) first.

Spark enhancements? Energy system regulators that enhance one's systems in a way to make the energy trades inherit in interfacing more efficient, stronger and maybe interestingly patterned.
Oh, and for possible sticky-verse thoughts - spike or port upgrades.
16. Dion's body was never found. What if he hadn't been hurt as badly as everyone thought? What if he slipped into stasis lock and was found by someone who didn't know who he was? What if, many many vorns later, he woke up?
My Magnus muse is saying the first thing he'd want to know is what happened to Orion.
17. Femme!Dion.
Now I'm thinking of some of those plotbunnies that have come up about mechs with femme sparks, or femmes who have upgraded into mech bodies.
43. He was raped by his lover. His lover who was usually so good to him. His lover who, for the first time since they got together, got overcharged. His lover who didn't remember what he had done to him.
I initially thought Perceptor and Springer - the raped one being Perce. Then I tried to aply it to my OTP... and Magnus started jumping up and down, yelling in total denial, because he utterly dispises the idea that he could ever do something like that to Optimus (yes, it was Magnus who came to mind as the drunk one).
Lesson in life, you don't want an angry muse when the muse is a 30 foot robot that is several tons in weight, even if they only exist in your brain.
44. "I'm a fish."
Said Rodimus to an amused Magnus, after he got tossed in a lake for the 37th time in the span of 2006. (G1 animated 'verse.)
47. Unicron is lonely.
The people of Cybertron get worried when a large metallic planet drifts into Cybertron's orbital path. They slowly stop worrying after a vorn or two when it seems to be safely sharing said orbit with Cybertron. The only puzzle now is the occasional highjacking of high-powered space transmitters that seem to be sending signals to the other planet.
"Yes, yes brother, I know, the universe is a big empty place. That's okay, you can stay here for a while, as long as you don't eat my kids."
"Thanks bro." *Sniffle*
52. Ultra Magnus, Blaster, and Perceptor are the Cybertronian versions of the Fates.
Who's who?
55. Perceptor discovers a candy called Pop Rocks.
Then Spike makes the mistake of showing him how to mix them with soda.
"How did Perceptor create an explosion that big using only a carbonated beverage and a sample of confectionary?"

I really need to study for Calc. Why must your lists be so long? *wishes for self-control/brevity*
Well, in 1930s terms, that was probably the equivalent of today's prices.
4. Art. Perceptor sitting on Grimlock's shoulder.
Is Grimlock in mech-form or dino-form? Either way, it's a cute idea.
5. Mirage can not turn invisible. He's a ghost that can sometimes become visible.
*loves* That would also give him a handy way to infiltrate the 'Con base as well - just fly down through the water.
This also makes me wonder about that box that forms around him when he's switching from visible to invisible or back again. Some sort of boundary between life and death? What would happen if someone stumbled into the box while he was 'switching'?
6. Everyone was hurt in the explosion and were sent away for treatment. It was years before he saw them again.
My first, rather unoriginal thought was Bluestreak and the destruction of his city.
7. The Cassettes are told that if they don't break their connection with Blaster, Blaster will die.
I'm pretty sure I know where this one came from ;).
8. The problem grew because of his protectiveness.
Red Alert? Maybe he became paranoid after people started being overprotective and careful around him.
11. They lived not in the reflection of the world, but in the mirror itself.
Subtly fascinating, but I can't come up with any coherent ideas for this. All I can think of is that there's a border between the G1verse and the mirror-verse, and the 'mirror' is the border's gate. And every gate should have a guardian... Perhaps the Matrix is the gate's lock or key?
12. Perceptor walked into the rec room, gave everyone an assessing stare, and smiled. And suddenly everyone began feeling horribly, horribly afraid.
Perceptor's pretty quiet. If he didn't want to draw attention to himself, just walking into the rec room and smiling wouldn't necessarily get everyone's attention. *is reminded of previous bunny* Maybe Perceptor is testing out his new ability to control others' emotions?
13. The Ark once had another name and another crew. The ghosts of that crew aren't happy that their home has been rebuilt, launched, and crashed.
And how old are these 'ghosts'? Pre-factions? Perhaps at first all the ghosts wanted was for their home to be taken back to Cybertron (which wouldn't happen while the war was going on, because no one would have funding to do it until after the war when the new government would use it in the War Museum). Then, they realized that everything happening on Earth was much more novel, fascinating, and entertaining than what had been going on back on Cybertron. The war, Earth's organic nature, and the humans are enough to keep the ghosts amused while they wait to pass on.
Then, the Autobots decide to relocate back to Cybertron to help the femmes retake the planet. Every one of the Ark's systems is working perfectly... so why won't it start up? Whenever Teletraan-1 tries to scan for the error, it crashes. Not even Red Alert can find any evidence for Decepticon sabotage. And ominous messages have started to appear on the walls of the Ark, written in energon: "This was our home. This is still our home. IT IS NOT YOURS. DO NOT TEST US."
15. Perceptor dies and someone destroys all the microscopes in the Ark because he can't look at them without thinking of Perceptor.
But Perceptor didn't really die! He faked his death and was hiding out as a common drone microscope! So when his friend storms into the lab and starts smashing them all...
No, wait! 'Ceptor found out that there was a 'Con spy aboard with orders to kill him, so he feigned a suicide. At first the enemy agent is satisfied, and starts working on his next assignment... but whenever he goes near the labs he hears Perceptor's voice in his head...

16. Dion's body was never found. What if he hadn't been hurt as badly as everyone thought? What if he slipped into stasis lock and was found by someone who didn't know who he was? What if, many many vorns later, he woke up?
Optimus had always thought (either secretly or openly) that Ultra Magnus was Dion reformatted. Then he finds out that Dion has been found. What would he think when he realizes that all this time he's been treating a stranger as if he were his old best friend?
23. "You can tell a lot about someone by watching how they treat those who are weaker than themselves."
GAHHH. WHERE IS THIS FROM. ARGH. I KNOW THIS. I think it was something like, "A man may treat his equals and superiors with respect, but to truly judge his character you must look to how he treats his inferiors." To Kill A Mockingbird, maybe?
27.He always heard screaming. Even when there was no screaming to be heard.
Makes me think of Starscream. Either this is where he gets his name, or Megatron is hearing Starscream's voice in his head. Maybe after he killed him? Or maybe it's Armada!Megatron (Galvatron?), remembering what Armada!Starscream sounded like when he was sacrificing himself to prove the threat of Unicron?
9. Before the war, several mechs were kidnapped and forced to undergo painful experiments...
*thinks* Which TFs weren't victims of size-changing in the original cartoon?
33. Perceptor is the creation of a Decepticon that Mirage has been ordered to kill. Mirage did as ordered before discovering the sparkling. Not knowing what else to do, he takes Perceptor with him to the Autobot base.
So did young!Perceptor think that killing was thus acceptable behavior? Or maybe he imprinted on Mirage?
37. "Never let anyone know that you're good with kids. You'll never get out of babysitting duty."
Blaster and Soundwave. Early in their Autobot/Decepticon careers, they let that slip and were promptly burdened with the sparklings of every creator in the 'Bot and 'Con armies. Some of the creators were killed; others were so badly injured that they forgot they even had sparklings; and some others didn't care about the sparklings or didn't know that they had contributed to the creation. But Soundwave and Blaster eventually got so attached to the sparklings that it didn't matter... although some of them still refused to address their adopted creators as 'Dad' or similar.
38. It had quickly become a banishment.
Idea! What if Starscream and Skyfire were allowed to travel to Earth, thinking that it was a scientific expedition, when really it was an excuse to rid Cybertron of their scientific genius before one faction or the other could get them under their control? Maybe hidden agents followed the two and chased them into the storm? Or maybe the agents' orders were to damage their alt-forms and equipment so they could survive on Earth but never make it back to Cybertron.
Perceptor found out about this plot and, knowing he would be next if he didn't do something, volunteered to join the squad that would follow them. He couldn't slip away to warn Starscream and Skyfire, but he tried to sabotage his team's efforts...

Hook!
40. What if everyone woke up from stasis at different times?
*loves* Or, what if they each woke at different times but were only awake for a few moments before going back into stasis? So each time they woke, the arrangement of 'Bots and 'Cons lying around them would be different because the others would wake up, stand and walk a few steps before going back into stasis and falling over.
41. Rumble enjoys sitting at a window in the Decepticons' underwater base, watching the ocean life swim past. Hopefully, no one will learn this little secret of his.
And when Megatron decides that one of Soundwave's cassettes should be converted into an aquatic form, Rumble volunteers...
42. The Cassettes have a whole little house in there.
*LOVES* Soundwave and Blaster's compartments are really inter-dimensional chambers! They're bigger on the inside than they are on the outside!
46. "I went there to feel safe and he followed. It's not safe there anymore."
Probably because of the next bunny (and its adorable interpretation by mimi_sardinia), this made me think of Primus/Cybertron floating frantically (slowly, but frantically) around the universe with Unicron trailing after him.
47. Unicron is lonely.
So that's the source of his eating problem? He thinks that consuming everything around him will fill the emptiness he feels inside of him? He's been mistaking loneliness for hunger this whole time...
51. It is always difficult with [insert character name here] to know when he is serious and when he is merely amusing himself at one's expense.
The Giant Purple Griffin.
Megatron: ...I was just joking... but hey, you put enough weapons in it that this should work as the Doomsday Device of the Week anyway.
54. 2007. It's Halloween and Sam and Mikaela want to take the Autobots trick-or-treating. So they somehow manage to convince them to alter their holoforms so they appear to be costumed children.
Awww... But the Autobots can't eat the candy! So the humans get (*counts*) three times as much candy as they would if they just went alone. Clever!
56. "No one deserves to face the darkness alone."
Not even Unicron.
62. Art. The Dinobots wearing trench coats and fedoras. Trying to look sneaky.
*hums Pink Panther theme*
68. You know how Sam left Miles on the side of the road? What if Miles never made it home?
*loves* Because the Decepticons took him!
84. "Nothing can hide from the dead."
Which is why Mirage is a perfect spy .
88. While making repairs to the Ark, Grapple and Hoist notice that Perceptor's lab is smaller than the blueprints say it should be. What they will discover will shock everyone.
I had to reread this one because I thought at first it said 'bigger than the blueprints say it should be'. If it's smaller... maybe the door to his lab is an inter-dimensional portal he created by accident, and every time they go in to talk to him they're speaking with a different Perceptor?... My mental image needs a diagram. Hang on a second...
________________

Okay, the gap on the left is where the door is. The smaller box contains the various alternate dimensions, while the Perceptor from Grapple and Hoist's dimension is trapped where the X is.

Re: I really need to study for Calc. Why must your lists be so long? *wishes for self-control/brevit
Well, in 1930s terms, that was probably the equivalent of today's prices.
I know. Still, I'm wishing for a time machine so I can go grocery shopping without spending a fortune.
Is Grimlock in mech-form or dino-form? Either way, it's a cute idea.
In my mind, mech form. But you're right; either way would be cute (though now I'm suddenly imagining Perceptor sitting on the head of a real T-Rex).
This also makes me wonder about that box that forms around him when he's switching from visible to invisible or back again. Some sort of boundary between life and death? What would happen if someone stumbled into the box while he was 'switching'?
I keep forgetting about the box. I like your idea about it being a boundry. *thinks* Maybe, if someone alive got caught in it, they'd feel like they were being torn in half? Half of them being pulled to the living world but the other half being pulled to the world of the dead.
Either that or they go in a daze. Like their mind is wrapped in cotton, you know?
My first, rather unoriginal thought was Bluestreak and the destruction of his city.
My thought, unsurprisingly, was about Perceptor. There was a lab explosion.
I'm pretty sure I know where this one came from ;).
Could you tell me? Because I can't remember.
Red Alert? Maybe he became paranoid after people started being overprotective and careful around him.
EXCELLENT! YES! Although I wonder why they started acting overprotective, if he didn't become paranoid until after.
Perhaps the Matrix is the gate's lock or key?
Or maybe the Matrix is the gate itself?
Perceptor's pretty quiet. If he didn't want to draw attention to himself, just walking into the rec room and smiling wouldn't necessarily get everyone's attention. *is reminded of previous bunny* Maybe Perceptor is testing out his new ability to control others' emotions?
I think Perceptor could quietly attract everyone's attention if he really wanted it. I love the idea of him 'practicing' though. *wants to see*
"This was our home. This is still our home. IT IS NOT YOURS. DO NOT TEST US."
*LOVES* I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT! And pre-faction would be interesting.
But Perceptor didn't really die! He faked his death and was hiding out as a common drone microscope! So when his friend storms into the lab and starts smashing them all...
I wonder why he faked his death. Did he just want a break and thought this was the only way to get it? Was he scared of someone? His friend, maybe? Maybe his friend wasn't fooled and this way he could murder him without getting caught.
No, wait! 'Ceptor found out that there was a 'Con spy aboard with orders to kill him, so he feigned a suicide. At first the enemy agent is satisfied, and starts working on his next assignment... but whenever he goes near the labs he hears Perceptor's voice in his head...
Oooohh! *LOVES* Did he let any of his friends know that his death was faked? And I wonder how the Decepticon can hear him... Maybe Perceptor is hiding in the walls and only speaks when the spy is near? Or Perceptor's a telepath.

4. Art. Perceptor sitting on Grimlock's shoulder.
*stares then shrugs* What the hell. *picks it up*
20. "They do as they are told and only as they are told."
21. He was disturbingly passive.
*shudders* You know, for saying you don't know much about aspergers you come up with a lot that can be interpreted as such.
31. It upsets Perceptor when people ignore him when he discusses his projects. So when someone actually shows interest, it's no wonder that it makes Perceptor happy. Too bad this someone is a Decepticon.
Happy, but probably confused at the same time. Thinking no one was interested at all, and it's such a novel experience that it understandably throws him for a loop.
41. Rumble enjoys sitting at a window in the Decepticons' underwater base, watching the ocean life swim past. Hopefully, no one will learn this little secret of his.
Spike's selkie mother is first glimpsed this way.
48. Hook: *whines* "Make them go away."
