tf_bunny_farmAgain, mostly human focused. I'm biased that way. ;)
1) "I pretty much signed away any right to a normal life on that oil rig when I first offered to help you guys. My chances of dying quietly in bed at a ripe, old age went right out the window, too. Maybe I didn't really know what I was doing then, but I do now. And, even if I could go back and do it all over again, that is one decision that I would not change. I won't say I don't have any regrets but THAT isn't one of them."
2) "Take this message to Megatron. It's never a good idea to put someone in a position where they have nothing left to lose. There's a certain agonizing freedom and power that comes from that. I may be a weak, puny organic, but I swear by all that you took from me that I will utterly destroy you."
3) Presumably, the government took care of all the charges Sam had hanging over him after the "car theft" incident. But, given the attitude he displayed at the interrogation, I don't think Officer "Fifty Cent" would much like some government suit coming in and getting in HIS case. Probably would start to wonder if there was something more going on than a punk with a drug problem tripping out and tresspassing. And maybe he should...quietly invesigate the kid.
4) One of my favorite quotes regarding humanity. "A furious angel nailed to the ground by his wings."
5) And a C. S. Lewis quote. "You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body."
6) And how about another from Clive? "Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality."
7) For that matter, how about the Autobots discovering _The Chronicals of Narnia_? "'I'd rather be eaten by you than fed by anyone else'?! And this is a kid's book?!" (That quote's from _The Horse and His Boy_, btw)

Ratchet: Okay, Ironhide. When did you get the yellow paint-job.
Optimus: *facepalm*

The fandom really needs more fic about Sparkplug (I now realise this could also be said by Spike, but it first struck me as being Sparkplug saying it).
3) Presumably, the government took care of all the charges Sam had hanging over him after the "car theft" incident. But, given the attitude he displayed at the interrogation, I don't think Officer "Fifty Cent" would much like some government suit coming in and getting in HIS case.

Now that'd be an interesting story - one wonders first how he'd react to the obvious change in Sam's car (while he may not have seen Bee after Sam got arrested, a full description of Bee probably would have come up in the proceedings), then at some point Sam and Bee go off somewhere so Bee can transform and relax... maybe meet up with the other Autobots.
5) And a C. S. Lewis quote. "You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body."
Now that is a very good way of describing just how I see Cybertronians - they don't possess a spark, they are a spark that has a robot body that suports, protects, transports and augments them.
7) For that matter, how about the Autobots discovering _The Chronicals of Narnia_? "'I'd rather be eaten by you than fed by anyone else'?! And this is a kid's book?!" (That quote's from _The Horse and His Boy_, btw)
There's a lot of human fiction that I would love to see someone tackle how the Autobots would view it.

4) One of my favorite quotes regarding humanity. "A furious angel nailed to the ground by his wings."
*loves the quote* Very thought-provoking. *ponders*
5) And a C. S. Lewis quote. "You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body."
*LOVES* This has immediately become one of my favorites as well.

Ah, I remember those books. I felt so dumb years later when I realized I had never managed to pick up on all the Christian imagery in there. The line in The Last Battle about something being born in a stable that was bigger than the whole world was way more confusing to my younger self than it should have been.
