Let's see if this batch is more rabid than my last one.

1. Transformers don't wear paint. If they did, you wouldn't see them turn gray when they died. They only use the term since it was the first word they came across to describe the colorful outer layer of machines.

2. Wheeljack learns that there were some actually very small dinosaurs. He then convinces Ratchet to undertake another project. Introducing the mini-Dinobots. Frustration abounds, and they're nicknamed The Anklebiters.

3. Following a similar line of thought.
Wheeljack: "Prime, I uh... I..." *wrings hands* "IaccidentallyshranktheDinobots."

4. The Insecticons discover Crane Flies. There are Decepticons that are cranes.

5. Hook learns about a certain, notorious, fictional pirate captain. (From Peter Pan, in case my thoughts aren't clear enough.)

6. The Coneheads learn about the movie Coneheads.

7. Coyote the Trickster is curious about these new shape-shifting beings from the stars, so he takes the form of a transformer to get closer and satisfy his curiosity. After he introduces himself sans trickster title to the Autobots and has interacted with them for a while he learns of Sideswipe's self-proclaimed title of Prankster(trickster) King.

This will not do.

Coyote: "A word, if you please."
Sideswipe: "Yeah?"
Coyote: *slings an arm around Sides' shoulders*" What's this I hear about you as the Prank King?"
S: "Hey. I haven't done anything to yah, so don't go blaming me for something I didn't do."
C: *waves hand* "That's not the issue, that's not the issue." *dark look* "My problem is your claiming a title that doesn't belong to you."

8. There is an island in the Kermadec's called Raoul. Does that make him a human avatar of the island? Is he from the island? Or does he own it?

9. [07Movie] The destruction of the allspark released broken spark creating energies that triggered changes in every living thing for miles. Some organic life slowly but surely were turning into something akin to cybertronian life. Others died gruesome deaths. But as it was, those that survived, their lives were fragile, their alt-modes painfully simple, and every single one needed a cybertronian-born to support them.

Yet not all mechs had the physical disposition do so, and many of those that did, found themselves supporting a good half-dozen each because there were too many of these new cybertronians and too few available to support them all to worry about lessening the load. Soon a new name was used to describe these strange new non-cybertronians. Introducing, movieverse cassettes.

(evolved from a bunny before I could write it down that had it impossible for humans be turned into full-sized mechs or even minibots, and that they can only become cassettes. Mostly from trying to make my brain break less while contemplating all the human-turned-cybertronian fics out there.)

10- ?: "I know that happens, I'm doubtful it's true in this case."
?: "Just suggesting."
?: "I know, I'm inserting obligatory denial."

There's one fic writer I know of who posits that Cybertronian bodies have several different colonies of nanites that do various functions - one of which is the colour nanites that make up a mech's "paint".

[ink-in-hand.livejournal.com]

Oh? I didn't know this. Do they have it in a fic? And where can I find them?

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

It's part of aleph_abyssal's epic fic "The World Translated Thus".

There's a biology post for the story here: http://aleph-abyssal.livejournal.com/7090.html

Thank you, this promises to be quite entertaining. *goes and reads*

Poor Wheeljack! Poor Dinobots! *thinks* They can hang out with Omega Supreme, who I hear Perceptor accidentally shrunk. Last I knew, he was hiding behind Optimus' foot.

4. The Insecticons discover Crane Flies. There are Decepticons that are cranes.

Are they going to try to do a little reformatting?

Scrapper: *confused* "Why are you hiding under my berth?"
Hook: *scared* "I don't want to be a bug!"
Scrapper: *even more confused* *is beginning to think Hook just snapped*

5. Hook learns about a certain, notorious, fictional pirate captain. (From Peter Pan, in case my thoughts aren't clear enough.)

He will either be amused, embarrassed, angry, or he won't care. Depends on what mood he's in when he finds the book.

Coyote: "A word, if you please."
Sideswipe: "Yeah?"

C: *waves hand* "That's not the issue, that's not the issue." *dark look* "My problem is your claiming a title that doesn't belong to you."

Sideswipe will then challenge him to a prank contest to prove that the title does indeed belong to him. Poor thing doesn't know what he just got himself into. *laughs at Sideswipe*

*LOVES* Poor Blaster, when he shows up! He's going to be so overcrowded! And I wonder how some of them convinced Soundwave, a Decepticon, to support them.

Revenge of the Mini-Giants! Now all they need is Skyfire.

Honestly hadn't thought of that. Are they skilled enough to do so?

*snickers* Sometime later after much rivalry in which Coyote consistently and constantly one-ups Sideswipe in everything, then has his grand finale.

Coyote: *has won the war for both sides*
Autobots & Decepticons: *stare at each other in bafflement*
Sunstreaker: *pokes his brother* "I think he won."
Sideswipe: *stares* *cries*

*LOVES* Poor Blaster, when he shows up! He's going to be so overcrowded! And I wonder how some of them convinced Soundwave, a Decepticon, to support them.

I have absolutely no idea, I'm waiting for someone that does to express the solution.

*LOVES*

*grins* It was an actual conversation with a friend.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Now all they need is Skyfire.

Now I have a mental image of Carly not only holding Omega's hand, but she's also got Skyfire sitting in the other arm, looking all the world like a young mother with two young, very odd children.

*sighs and picks up art-bunny* Yes I joined for the bunnies but I didn't think they accumulate so quickly!

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

They do gather quickly, I - who doesn't write most of the time - tend to collect sub-muses, aspects of my primary muses. Like Magnus, my main TF muse, has the sub-muses Maggy, Primus-Mags, Primus-son and Consort. I also have Omnicron, who's an Optimus muse, and Primus-son's conniving minibot guardian - all of whom (except Maggy) have joined my mindscape due to this community.

[ink-in-hand.livejournal.com]

o_o That's a lot of muses, regular and sub. Do you not have any mindspace left to yourself?

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Oh, my mindscape has enough room for a few Cybertronians, as well as the human and GF residents.

Revenge of the Mini-Giants! Now all they need is Skyfire.

Perceptor went hunting for him but sadly, someone warned him that his life was in danger. Perceptor eventually gave up on him and shrank Inferno instead, who wasn't exactly a giant but was still large. Oddly enough, Red Alert didn't seem to mind and bought tiny-Inferno a basket, a food bowl, a collar, and named him Pooky. Ratchet believes the shock of seeing Inferno shrunk caused some kind of systems failure (probably related to his glitch) that makes him unable to understand that his new pet is actually Inferno. Inferno doesn't complain because he doesn't want to upset Red Alert.

Honestly hadn't thought of that. Are they skilled enough to do so?

I don't know if they'd succeed, but they'd certainly try. I think Hook is just as afraid of the reformat failing (who knows what he'd end up as?) as he is of it succeeding.

Coyote: *has won the war for both sides*
Autobots & Decepticons: *stare at each other in bafflement*
Sunstreaker: *pokes his brother* "I think he won."
Sideswipe: *stares* *cries*


How did Coyote win the war for both sides? *confused*

Anyways... Poor Sides! *hugs Sides* Here, baby, you can have this lovely ribbon. *puts magnetic ribbon on Sides' leg*

Sunstreaker: *leans down to read it* "Second Best?"
Sideswipe: *breaks down crying*
Sunstreaker: *growls*
Kirin: *hiding*

I have absolutely no idea, I'm waiting for someone that does to express the solution.

*also waiting*

*grins* It was an actual conversation with a friend.

*pouts* My friends in school were boring. We never had conversations like that. *pouts*

Shrapnel: *tugging Hook's foot* "Why not?! You could fly."
Hook: "I can already fly!"
Kickback: "You can have a long reach, reach."
Hook: "I already have a long reach!"
Bombshell: "I could convince you otherwise."
Hook: "NO!"
*the rest of the Constructicons come in, the Insecticons freeze in the middle of attempting to drag Hook out from under the berth*
Scrapper: *having fetched the rest of the team* "Alright. So maybe he hasn't snapped."

How did Coyote win the war for both sides? *confused*

I have no idea. He's just that good. There are too many stories that he uses trickery to solve major problems in that I can't see this beyond him.

*pouts* My friends in school were boring. We never had conversations like that. *pouts*

Awww. *pats* I just like being a smartass random conversationalist.

I now have this mental image of an Omega Supreme going somewhere with Carly, who is holding his claw-hand as though he's a little child... and he's about the same size as one as well.

*stares happily at the extremely adorable image* I really wish I could draw that.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

So do I, it's a cute image - especially when one adds baby-sized Skyfire in her other arm.

1. Transformers don't wear paint. If they did, you wouldn't see them turn gray when they died. They only use the term since it was the first word they came across to describe the colorful outer layer of machines.

Interesting idea! Any thoughts as to why Megatron (and probably some other mostly-metal-colored mechs whose names I can't remember right now) doesn't seem to have much 'paint'?

3. Following a similar line of thought.
Wheeljack: "Prime, I uh... I..." *wrings hands* "IaccidentallyshranktheDinobots."

Prime: Really?
Wheeljack: *cringe*
Prime: That's GREAT! *grins behind his mask* Grapple and Hoist were just complaining to me yesterday about all the structural damage they've been causing in the Ark lately. Problem solved! *is pleased*
Prowl: *butts in* But their efforts are a key part of numerous default strategies!
Prime: Ah, well... *ponders* Wheeljack, any thoughts?
Wheeljack: *dubiously* Well, I suppose at their current size I might be able to whomp up some miniature engines and thrusters to give them all flight capabilities...
Prime: *waves hand* Make it so!

5. Hook learns about a certain, notorious, fictional pirate captain.

*LOVES* Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, goes the clock, in the croc. I can see him developing a few phobias after he reads (or falls into?) Peter Pan.

8. There is an island in the Kermadec's called Raoul. Does that make him a human avatar of the island? Is he from the island? Or does he own it?

Interesting... This bunny might be able to squirm into the basket with a previous Raoul/Astoria bunny. Raoul might inherit the island and suddenly be in the same social circles as Astoria.
On another, unrelated note: there's also a major character from Phantom of the Opera who is named Raoul.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Prime: *waves hand* Make it so!

Prowl: Prime... you need to stop watching Star Trek.

[ink-in-hand.livejournal.com]

Any thoughts as to why Megatron doesn't seem to have much 'paint'?

*chokes* He's albino!

Wheeljack: *dubiously* Well, I suppose at their current size I might be able to whomp up some miniature engines and thrusters to give them all flight capabilities...

Prowl: "Can't they already fly?"

*LOVES* Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, goes the clock, in the croc.

That someone ribbs Hook on the fact that they made one out of Optimus Prime is all too foreseeable.

On another, unrelated note: there's also a major character from Phantom of the Opera who is named Raoul.

I didn't know that. *only watched it once or twice*
