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."
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. 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.
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.
