45. Why don’t Cybertronians have tails? They’re quite useful appendages (especially prehensile ones, like monkey tails that act as an extra hand), since I’m sure all sorts of fun Cyber-tech could be put in them…
Probably for the same reason humans don't have tails - they are for proper balance in quadrapeds and bipeds don't need tails. It harks back to why are alien robots bipedal at all? Besides all the arguements about audience appeal and such, why - in-universe - are they bipedal? My usual idea is that somewhere back in Cybertronian history someone (either Quintessons or Primus) ran across bipedal races outside Cybertron and thought making Cybertronians the same shape would be a good idea.
47. The Aerialbots were spotted and tailed (and I just realized the other way that could be interpreted XD) when they went back in time to Cybertron. The agents who followed them reported back to the head of the CIA (Cybertronian Intelligence Agency), who realized he had a group of time-travelers on his hands. Further observation led to the conclusion that the Aerials had been on Earth at some point, so the CIA sent top-secret agents Starscream and Skyfire to investigate the Earth in their time.
And therefore Starscream caused that disasterous mission that he lost Skyfire on - by sending the Aerialbots back in time, he caused the mission to happen.
48. Skyfire gets frustrated with the Autobots and goes to hang out back in the ice and think a bit.
Meanwhile Starscream gets frustrated by the constant abuse from Megatron and goes to cool off - literally - and runs into Skyfire. They argue, then settle down and talk, and eventually end up interfacing.
52.When _________ looks at someone, he/she can sense the number of lies that person has told.
53. When _________ looks at someone, he/she can sense the number of people that person has killed… and who the people were… and if they’re still hanging around, and have anything to say…
My Primus muse is holding up his hand. His shared sub-muse, P!Magnus, is currently asking if this applies to him as well. Non-Primus Magnus is eying the two of them off, a bit worried, as is Optimus.
57. Teletraan-1, being an Autobot computer, made a few extra modifications when it gave the Decepticons Earth alt-forms. Post-wakeup, each Decepticon who landed on Earth possesses a small sliver of Autobot programming.
But it is actually several years after they all woke up that the log of the reformating is actually studied and this little fact is found out and someone realises it means that all the Earth-based Decepticons can be manipulated. A huge debate erupts amongst the Ark crew as to whether it is ethical to use something that amounts to mind control to effectively end the war.
60. (Inspired by Odysseus and his adventure with Circe. Whose name rhymes with Perce.
I don't know about that - I was always under the impression that Circe is pronounced "Sir-see", while Perce rhymes with "purse".
65. For whatever reason, both factions’ weapons have run out of charge/ammo/energy. Doesn’t keep them from fighting though!
Skyfire and Starscream have got tired of arguing and are now snogging. They draw the attention of the whole of the battlefield... and the whole thing ends up a wild inter-faction orgy.

I have a dirty mind. I consider it a treasure.
