4. Optimus Prime is murdered – and not by who you’d expect.
Ultra Magnus, drone of Primus. He probably has a good reason.
7. What are the colors of the Transformers’ auras?
Would they even have auras or would their auras work differently? I personally imagine their electromagnetic fields are their auras.
11. There are a dozen theories as to how ‘bots interface – to spare tender eyes, I won’t list them here. What if, instead of being mutually exclusive, the method is up to the individual ‘bot’s preference? I could see some ‘bots shunning or teasing those who use a less ‘socially acceptable’ method.
Actually, I totally agree with that - all ways are valid (up to and including tasteful sticky), it's just a matter of preference and social mores.
12. Do Cybertronians have ice cream parlors/candy shops/restaurants/etc?
They serve specialty energon, oil confectionary (and anything else you can think that a robotic race might eat - I'm personally very influenced by i_stalk_piccolo's writing when it comes to Cybertronian foods).
13. Cassette Whisperer.
Soundwave, of course. He tamed severeal unwilling Cassettes into loyal minions.
15. So, basically, Prime is a supreme leader, right? He can accept input from others, but in the end, it’s his call. How would the Autobots react to American government, which is basically one giant forum where different special interests malign each other’s logic, sanity, and character?
Actually, from what I've seen through fandom about the senate, Cybertron seems more like the Roman Empire after the Ceasars were established.
20. You know, I’m pretty sure Mirage would make a great prankster.
He thinks pulling pranks is too undignified.
21. Did Mirage and Hound ever use their forcefields to interface in the middle of the rec room? (*brain goes splodey*)
On the other hand, he has a kink for interfacing in public, without anyone besides Hound knowing what is happening.
28. My world begins and ends with you.
*Gives her Magnus muse a sidelong glance.*
31. It was not love at first sight, for this was far from first sight. It was more that connections long forgotten and buried were slowly rising from the seas of their souls. He watched as memories unfolded before his optics, images bright and dark and distant, of lands long lost and times that may as well never have been.
For some reason this made me think of Starscream and Skyfire, when they first get into a relationship.
35. “I am going to save my people. If history will paint me a villain, a monster, then so be it.”
Megatron, with originally honourable intentions.
36. He wore a dozen different masks, each one with a different expression. Happiness, anger, sadness…all feigned. He couldn’t afford to show emotion – if he did, he feared, the loneliness and the frightening, overwhelming urge to end it all would swallow him whole. Once a week, however, it got to be too much for him, and he would find a quiet corner and let himself crack, for just a moment.
Optimus Prime. He has to put on a brave, cheerful attitude in front of his troops, but does not always feel it in his spark. It helps that he has the mouth guard to hide most of his face.
