I haven't had time to respond individually to all the newcomers' posts, so please consider this my general hello & welcome. Grab a pitchfork and join the fun! The insane asylum is empty, and all the crazies (and telepaths) are here!
A quick note: Ever since I started posting here, I’ve typed any bunnies I’ve thought of in one Microsoft Word document and size-1’ed the already-posted ones to keep it looking neat. (I don’t know why I don’t just delete them. I’m never gonna need them again, and the point of my posting them here is to get them out of my head.) While I was typing this batch, a box popped up that said “There are too many spelling or grammatical errors to continue displaying them.”
This is awesome. I… I won! It’s like MS Word is admitting that even if ‘Decepticon’ isn’t in its dictionary, it slagging well should be. I beat the evil squiggly red lines! I feel like I should get a prize or something.
*coughs* Anyway, the promised bunnies:
1. When Teletraan-1 was reactivated, why didn’t it try to dispose of the helpless Decepticons – or at least wake the Autobots first? … Teletraan’s a traitor!
2. Shockwave recruits the Autobot femmes on Cybertron by convincing them that femmes will have more rights under Megatron’s new government.
3. More about those wacky femmes!
A. The Decepticons' bounty on Elita-1’s head keeps on rising with each successful raid. Since Elita-1 is such an important commander - and Optimus Prime’s bondmate - she and Arcee switch places to ensure her survival. (Think Queen Amidala and her handmaiden in the first of the newer Star Wars movies.)
B. Arcee is older than she seems – she’s Ariel’s (Elita-1’s) creator, and thus Optimus’ mother-in-law as well.
C. If Chromia had a bondmate before Ironhide came along…
D. Firestar and Starscream are related/bondmates.
E. Moonracer and Sunstreaker are related/bondmates.
F. TF: Animated’s Blackarachnia earns the grudging respect of her new Decepticon comrades by unintentionally freaking Megatron out with her creepy alt-mode.
G. One member of any gestalt is secretly a femme.
H. Every member (except one) of any gestalt is secretly a femme.
I. Although all of ‘his’ components are mechs, one of the gestalts is somehow a femme.
4. Beachcomber discovers tie-dye.
5. Blaster originally earned his nickname by setting record scores at the Academy for general firearm accuracy, before he discovered music and dropped out of school to DJ at local clubs. When he meets Bluestreak, he takes the young gunner under his (metaphorical) wing and teaches him a few tricks.
6. G1 Blurr loses his voice.
7. At first, Bumblebee didn’t take to organic species at all. In fact, he had a few bad encounters with them on other planets before he came to Earth.
8. Every so often, Cosmos will stick auto-broadcast comm units on orbiting pieces of space-junk (to mimic his regular transmissions to the Autobot base) and just go exploring for a bit.
9. Cosmos reformatted himself into his current alt-mode because he’s bonded to a Decepticon and needs to keep his distance from the battlefield.
10. Grapple and Hoist build a spacebridge for the Autobots. (It’s about time.)
11. Hound has a curious detestation for a certain animal or group of animals.
12. Beast Wars Inferno is actually G1 Inferno, drastically changed. How did it happen?
13. Ironhide is forced into retirement.
14. (Movieverse AU) Jazz becomes Jazzimus Prime.
15. Skywarp tries to warp into Mirage’s little ‘disappearing-box’ and they both lose their special abilities.
16. Once a normal-sized mech, Omega Supreme suffered from a rare disease which caused his spark to slowly increase in size. When it threatened to burst his spark-chamber, he had to start getting near-constant size upgrades to accommodate this mutation. The Constructicons built all of his new forms; his current form was their last gift to him. Its spark chamber is made from a special alloy, developed by Mixmaster, which stopped the unnatural growth of his spark.
17. Unicron eats Cybertron, but the Cybertronians escape. The Autobots go back to live on Earth, but the Decepticons (sick of foreign organic planets, but obviously unable to return to their own) strike a deal with Unicron and warily settle on the surface of his planet-form.
18. When people start calling Megatron the ‘Great Slagmaker’, Unicron gets jealous. The Planet-Devourer decides to teach the Decepticon leader a little lesson in humility and remind him who the real king of destruction is.
19. I’ve seen the ‘humans as pets’ idea … what if the Cybertronians were subdued and kept as pets by humans?
20. “You’ve got it all wrong. They’re more like… like a two-mech gestalt than anything else.”
21. (AU) The war does not exist, and neither do [Autobot] and [Decepticon]… however, they ARE fictional (?) enemies on the Cybertronian equivalent of a popular cartoon series – and of course, the other ‘Bots and ‘Cons are big fans of the cartoon.
22. Art. A pic with Soundwave & one or more cassettes… but the cassette(s) are larger than Soundwave.
23. Animated. If Shockwave managed to make himself a Prime… perhaps some of the other Decepticons were once Primes as well?
24. ‘Cyclonus, the Warrior’… a warrior wouldn’t necessarily need gigantic audio receptors. Maybe those things on his head have another purpose?
25. _________’s happiness and _________’s unhappiness are directly proportional.
26. Sunstreaker and Tracks are indeed obsessed with how they look… but not for the reasons everyone assumes. For some reason, they’re hiding their true appearances with holograms. Any little accidental scuff which mysteriously fails to leave a scratch will reveal them, so they’re careful to avoid such situations. When something happens in public which would normally alter their appearances, they have to quickly change the hologram and petulantly refuse to let anyone else fix the damage. During battles, Sunstreaker throws himself into the center of the fray where everyone’s too busy to notice that dents appear a split second after they should; Tracks hangs back and makes sure that Sunstreaker’s holograms don’t drop while he’s distracted.
27. ‘Wheeljack’, verb:
28. Art or fic. Dinobots/Aerialbots/Stunticons/Protectobots, on Cybertron and homesick for Earth.
29. With some mechs, competency arises when you least expect it.
30. Bumblebee gets initiated into the Insecticons.
31. Optimus as a gladiator.
32. Ignorant first-time creators often unknowingly committed the ultimate act of cruelty: finalizing their sparkling’s programming without allowing space for later upgrade code. Their creations were doomed to fall further and further behind as Cybertronian technology advanced, eventually becoming completely outdated.
33. Megatron suddenly disappears. The Decepticons ask Starscream to be their temporary leader; the suspicious Seeker investigates. He finds out that Megatron left on an important mission, but gave specific orders to every other ‘Con regarding their duties in his absence. Indignant at being offered an empty position as figurehead, Starscream refuses to take Megatron’s place. Instead, he gleefully sabotages his comrades and wreaks havoc with the Decepticon hierarchy.
34. No one ever suspected that Jazz’s ability to quickly gain the trust of others had a more sinister source than mere charisma.
35. Unicron and Galvatron have ‘father-son’ time.
36. What effect could the Grim Reaper have on Cybertronians?
37. (AU) After the mechs in G1/original-movie canon ‘die’, they wake up on the
38. Someone finds a genie’s lamp.
39. Cybertronian berserkers.
40. Before the inevitable paranoia struck, Red Alert was a powerful and well-respected seer/prophet. Rich mechs paid incredible prices just for a minute’s use of his abilities.
41. Sunstorm converts Swindle.
42. Someone finds out about the human trick of hypnotism, and discovers that he possesses a natural ability for it.
43. Someone displays an unexpected mischievous side when he discovers the simple joys of Photoshop.
44. One of the Autobots has absolutely no morals, but has managed to hide it by imitating the behavior of more principled ‘Bots.
45. The imagined threats of Red Alert’s paranoia are set loose in the real world.
46. Smokescreen is sabotaged – instead of harmless camouflage, the smoke he releases is poisonous/corrosive gas.
47. Feral (like animals, or prehistoric humans) Cybertronians.
48. Post-war, Optimus struggles to control the Autobots’ thirst for vengeance.
49. (AU) Optimus and Megatron are the same person. The Decepticons eventually win the war, and out of idle curiosity Megatron investigates the background of his arch-nemesis (who, at that time, could be dead, imprisoned, mysteriously vanished…). Although he had been informed during the war of Optimus’ former identity as Orion Pax, he now discovers that Orion Pax actually died and was never reformatted into Optimus. Further research shows that certain other ‘Bots also seemed to come out of nowhere. Eventually, Megatron realizes what must be done to preserve the timeline and ensure the Decepticons’ eventual victory, and thus commandeers the time-travel project which the Decepticon scientists have been working on.
50. (Girl Genius-inspired) During his sparkling years, someone equipped Perceptor with a program-inhibiting device that kept him ‘stupid’ and safely away from those who would use his intelligence for evil purposes.
51. Swindle has a reason for his unquenchable greed and constant scheming: he’s saving up for something – something very important.
52. If Cyclonus had been just a little slower, and Starscream had managed to complete the ceremony, everything would have been different. ‘Coronation’ is merely a petty human idea which Starscream used to mask his true intentions. The ceremony had another purpose…
53. If Punch/Counterpunch died in an accident totally unrelated to the war, which side would claim his body, his weapons, and the intelligence he was carrying at the time?
54. Cybertronians with the Basilisk’s ability (if you look them in the optics, you die). Maybe the mechs with visors, like Jazz and Soundwave…
55. Would Megatron ever jet-judo Starscream to punish him?
56. Some of the Autobots were off-duty and in recharge when the
57. All his life, he’s been able to see the future. Every battle, every action, every conversation plays out just the way it does in his head beforehand. Then one day, he hears a passing comment on the battlefield which deviates from the ‘script’ – and realizes that the other mech is immune to fate and thus has the power to change the inevitable outcome of the war.
58. The Cybertronians’ optics are designed to detect the reflection of light on metal surfaces only. When they come to Earth, all of them are essentially blind…
A. …except for the one mech who had been ‘blind’ on Cybertron because his optics detect light reflected from non-metal surfaces.
B. …so they all have to learn echolocation.
C. …so when they encounter humans, they don’t notice their body language/gestures and assume that the alien noises are coming from non-sentient organic creatures. Then when they find a human city, they realize their mistake…
D. …and the Decepticons start a new round of treachery/backstabbing that resembles a bizarre combination of Hide and Seek and Blind Man’s Bluff.
59. In the game ‘Sardines’, a variant of Tag, one person in a group hides while the others cover their eyes. After a certain amount of time, the group scatters to hunt out the hiding person and hide with them. The last person to find the hider loses.
60. Bluestreak didn’t survive the attack on his city by accident…
A. He was deliberately spared because he’s the sparkling/sparkmate/creator of one of the Decepticon attackers.
B. He betrayed the city to the Decepticons, asking only for his life and freedom as a reward for his treachery – but Megatron double-crossed him and threatened to kill him unless he agreed to join the Autobots as a Decepticon spy.
C. Primus himself caused certain wrecked buildings to fall in a pattern that hid and protected Bluestreak.
61. All the cute puppy-like Cybertronians (e.g. Bluestreak, Scavenger, Fireflight, Bumblebee) die under suspicious circumstances.
62. The Cybertronians left their home planet because it was overrun by a swarm of vicious, parasitical beings (origins unknown). Taking refuge on Earth, many of the Cybertronians are still haunted by the sound of Primus’s panicked, desperate cries as his children abandoned him to die.
63. When the
64. There is a vast difference between pride and vanity; pride may be considered the greater sin because one who is prideful has become so wrapped up in himself that he no longer regards the opinions of others as valuable.
65. Starscream + Coffee.
66. Arcee ditches Hot Rod and Springer for Galvatron (or Cyclonus).
67. A Cybertronian circus.
68. Certain G1 mechs wake up from recharge one day with the voices of their Movieverse counterparts.
69. “If you’re not careful, your face will stick like that one day.”
70. Fic based on this picture.
71. Skywarp as Starscream and Thundercracker’s sparkling, because red + blue = purple. I don’t know why this possibility hasn’t occurred to me before.
72. One of the chutes in the Autobot public laboratory labeled ‘hazardous waste’ actually leads somewhere more interesting than a modified disposal unit.
73. A study of Decepticon behavior… as seen from the base’s windows… by fish/merpeople/giant squid/Cthulu/etc.
74. Now that I think about it, if the Decepticons spotted Seaspray lurking outside their base watching them, is there really anything they could do about it? Seaspray could film a little documentary or something.
75. (AU) A universe where Megatron is a ‘middle-manager’-type Decepticon; i.e., he has his own team, but also superior officers. Like Optimus is a Prime but not the Prime in Animated-verse.
76. Can flying Cybertronians reduce their speed until they actually fall out of the air?
77. The Seekers make a little extra profit/fend off would-be blackmailers by renting out their cockpits to other Decepticons as storage space for personal stuff or contraband.
78. The Constructicons aren’t as unique as they seem – all gestalts are supposed to have six members, not five.
79. A city named Iacaon (or Iakaon), halfway between Iacon and Kaon.
80. Somewhere beneath the accumulated filth of endless conflict, Cybertron still remains golden.
81. (Potential crossover fic) When Starscream finally left Earth after Skyfire’s disappearance, he was so distressed that he forgot to check his fuel reserve levels. On the way back to Cybertron, he abruptly runs out of power and, propelled by his momentum, hurtles unconscious through space.
A. Until he is discovered by…
B. Until he enters the orbit of…
82. G1 Cybertron suddenly becomes an organic planet.

1. All I can think is: Poor Red Alert, he's going to be absolutely crushed.
3 F. Reminds me of the crack offspring of an even crackier pairing I saw a while back; Beast Wars Megatron and Tarantulas. Imagine it, a purple dinosaur with spider legs. Officially creeps Megs out.
Can totally see BA using this to her advantage whenever she's in the same room as big bad Meggy. One of the only good things she can see coming from her new form. Starscream might just get jealous of the ability. Is he a former scientist in Animated? If so, he might do a little experimenting.
4. This can't be good. Not only is the Ark going to stick out like a sore thumb, but so will anything else he can get his hands on.
6. *blinks* At first everyone is quite relieved, but then quickly become disturbed of the fact, especially when Blurr starts to get really depressed. Especially since as a messenger, he can no longer perform his primary function as well as before. Wonder if it was caused by something, and he became mute from the trauma?
9. That's a really smart idea of the minibot. Have to wonder why others haven't thought of something similar. Maybe others like the taxis of the group are the same way.
11. Like Ace Ventura Pet Detective and bats? It'd be real great if it was a very common animal like cats. Or rabbits.
17. *LOVES* Oh, someone do this please, if for noting else than for all the snark I can see being exchanged between the 'Cons and their new 'home.'
18. O_O Run Megatron, run!
*gets out the popcorn to watch* This is going to be great. And of course someone is going to be recording it all so that Megs can never live it down, betting pools will be started, the whole works. Actually, the whole war may grind to a halt for a while as the Cons and Bots come together to enjoy a great show.
33. Megatron's not going to be too happy when he gets back. Then again, he really does deserve it, he should know better by now. Sounds like Starscream is going to be having an inordinate amount of fun. And why am I seeing Soundwave being secretly amused by the whole thing, and recording it all?
35. Oh, dear Primus.
*dies laughing*
That's going to go SO smoothly right there.
36. I think death itself might be a very foreign concept to them, well at least the way we see it, especially before the war. And to encounter Death as an actual being would most likely disturb many.
no subject
Our favorite paranoid Security Direction relies on so few things as absolutely dependable. It must rock his world (and make it seem much more dangerous) when one of those things proves untrustworthy.
Imagine it, a purple dinosaur with spider legs.
*imagines*
Officially creeps Megs out.
Me too.
This can't be good. Not only is the Ark going to stick out like a sore thumb, but so will anything else he can get his hands on.
How would he even go about tie-dying the Ark anyway? The only method I know of is the one I learned at camp where you twist up a white T-shirt and dip it in different buckets of paint. Still, seems like a fun (if gigantic) arts-and-crafts project for him.
Especially since as a messenger, he can no longer perform his primary function as well as before.
Hmmm, what else could he even do? *ponders*
Wonder if it was caused by something, and he became mute from the trauma?
There's an idea. Or maybe it could happen if a Decepticon actually managed to capture him - he'd lose his voice from fear and pure shock.
Have to wonder why others haven't thought of something similar.
I'm sure certain 'Bots would think it dishonorable to get out of battle if one was capable of fighting.
Maybe others like the taxis of the group are the same way.
Skyfire immediately comes to mind, but this makes me wonder a little about Astrotrain. Of course, 'Train isn't really excused from fighting either, but that might just be because Megatron saw through his ploy.
It'd be real great if it was a very common animal like cats. Or rabbits.
Cats? Perceptor won't be happy about that - one of my stories has him owning
kirin_saga'sa cat named Lullaby. As for the rabbits, perhaps Perceptor's bunny-phobia is catching.if for noting else than for all the snark I can see being exchanged between the 'Cons and their new 'home.'
I'm sure Unicron won't be above commenting on any meant-to-be-private events that happen during the Decepticons' stay. It's be like having a soap opera on you.
Run Megatron, run!
See Megatron run. Run, Megatron, run. See Unicron chase Megatron all around the universe while his soldiers and his enemies crack up laughing. Chase, Unicron, chase! Laugh, Cybertronians, laugh! ...See Megatron say goodbye to his dignity for the rest of his life.
Megatron: *cries*
And why am I seeing Soundwave being secretly amused by the whole thing, and recording it all?
Wonder what the Autobots would pay for that recording.
no subject
43. Mirage? No one would really expect it of him, and it would be a very easy and simple way to amuse himself in that manner without reveling who it is.
44. I like this one. And I'm thinking that any of the Bots that are known for their compassion are the one with no morals. Just can't pin down a single one at the moment. Then you have to ask the question, if they have no morals, why did they join the Autobots? Are their beliefs simply that strong or are they a spy?
45. Again, I'll be hiding in the corner over there. It's going to be a very bad day for Earth.
47. *sigh* *strikes off bunny from next list*
48. And it would probably be the least expected Bot, too. Like Bluestreak. He may be young and innocent, but he did get his city destroyed and he's not going to forget, or forgive that, any time soon.
51. Either it's going to be something very, very sweet of him he's doing for someone he cares for. Or not. I'm voting for the not.
54. *spazzes* Someoneprettypleasdothis! Theycouldevenhavethealtformofabasilisk! *ahem* No of course I don't like serpents and serpent like creatures, what ever gave you that idea?
55. *sporfle* Would Starscream ever be surprised by that. The twins would be vastly amused and jealous of someone stealing their trick.
62. *horrified* *and slightly ill* That, just scares the ever living slag out of me. If someone does this as a horror genre, and does it well, I just may never sleep again. Actually, just from the images my mind is conjuring of Primus screaming in agony and terror as his children leave is going to make me sleepless for a very long time.
Still want to see it though. *headdesk*
65. Don't people realize it's a very bad idea to give any science type mech coffee by now?
68. I think Bee will be very happy with the change. The others, not so much.
70. So THAT'S why Navi is so bossy, loud and annoying. She's Starscream in disguise!
73. Cthulu: *watches anarchy going on in the base* "That's too much chaos, even for me."
Giant Squid: *agrees* "And here I thought Hogwarts was bad. At least they only turn each other into newts."
74. I could see some of the science mechs being interested in documenting Decepticon behavior and hiring Seaspray to record the Cons. Of course, he'd get extra for any type of blackmail material he could find.
77. *fondly remembers school locker so crammed with stuff everything comes flowing out the moment you open the door.* You know, the smaller Cons, like cassettes or Reflector could actually hide themselves in there. And Soundwave's protection would be a huge incentive for any Con to get.
81. *cough*TheImperialEmpire*cough* What?
Or Borg. Actually it would be better if Soundwave met the Borg.
no subject
Makes me think of those crooked televangelists who ask for donations and use them to buy cars and mansions and stuff.
And I'm thinking that any of the Bots that are known for their compassion are the one with no morals. Just can't pin down a single one at the moment.
Hopefully it's not Optimus. That would be really disturbing to find out. Wonder how the Cons would react to that...
Again, I'll be hiding in the corner over there. It's going to be a very bad day for Earth.
I wonder if it would get Red Alert more sympathy from his comrades if they realize what's going on in his head all the time.
Either it's going to be something very, very sweet of him he's doing for someone he cares for. Or not. I'm voting for the not.
Hmm, maybe he wants to bribe someone into taking his place in his gestalt.
*spazzes* Someoneprettypleasdothis! Theycouldevenhavethealtformofabasilisk! *ahem* No of course I don't like serpents and serpent like creatures, what ever gave you that idea?
I've wondered about how the Cybertronians would react to snakes (or fish) in general. The lack-of-legs might confuse them. And someone with a serpent alt-form would definitely be awesome - maybe one of those three-headed snakes (can't remember what they're called at the moment). That'd be perfect for Animated Blitzwing.. Runespoor! I think that's what they're called! Or the serpent-former could be one of those types that unhinges its jaw to swallow things bigger than its own head. Those are cool.
*horrified* *and slightly ill*
...Sorry?
I think Bee will be very happy with the change. The others, not so much.
Starscream probably would be happy as well. Maybe Megatron. And I bet Bee wouldn't be very pleased if he lost his voice, like his movie-counterpart.
Giant Squid: *agrees* "And here I thought Hogwarts was bad. At least they only turn each other into newts."
Decepticons as newts! Hee.
You know, the smaller Cons, like cassettes or Reflector could actually hide themselves in there. And Soundwave's protection would be a huge incentive for any Con to get.
True! *wants to see this even more now* Hopefully one of the cassettes doesn't fall into recharge in there. That's be awkward.
*during a debriefing*
Megatron: Starscream, what exactly is that in your cockpit?
Starscream: Ummm...
*cough*TheImperialEmpire*cough*
YES! *happy telepathy dance* Starscream loose on Coruscant, or the Death Star! Oh, the fun.
no subject
B. Arcee is older than she seems – she’s Ariel’s (Elita-1’s) creator, and thus Optimus’ mother-in-law as well.
Actually... taking this and putting it with one of my pet ideas generated by this community, how would Optimus and Magnus feel about their best friend's mother getting involved with their son? XD
G. One member of any gestalt is secretly a femme.
Obvious ones: Fireflight, First Aid.
Not Obvious: Slingshot, Blades.
Crack: Scrapper is the leader of the Constructicons because he is really a she, and is just that bit more mature, practical and motherly that she keeps all her brothers in line.
4. Beachcomber discovers tie-dye.
And orders from a hippy clothing supply company a whole bolt of hand-dyed cloth, cut and hemmed to size for such accessories as scarves and bandanas.
6. G1 Blurr loses his voice.
And is frantically trying to charade out what he's trying to communicate, but it's hard for everyone to understand because he moves so fast his hands look like blurs.
9. Cosmos reformatted himself into his current alt-mode because he’s bonded to a Decepticon and needs to keep his distance from the battlefield.
One who doesn't have a space-worthy altform either, so there's no chance of being forced to fight him if Cosmos just stays out in space.
10. Grapple and Hoist build a spacebridge for the Autobots. (It’s about time.)
Pity help them if the Decepticons attack in an attempt to destroy it (so they remain the only ones with a working space bridge).
17. Unicron eats Cybertron, but the Cybertronians escape. The Autobots go back to live on Earth, but the Decepticons (sick of foreign organic planets, but obviously unable to return to their own) strike a deal with Unicron and warily settle on the surface of his planet-form.
They stay apart like that for several centuries, until Decepticons become a myth on Earth, akin to demons (to match the Unicron = the devil).
19. I’ve seen the ‘humans as pets’ idea … what if the Cybertronians were subdued and kept as pets by humans?
;_; Poor things. One hopes they get good owners.
22. Art. A pic with Soundwave & one or more cassettes… but the cassette(s) are larger than Soundwave.
Rumble and Frenzy with their sparkling, while he was still smaller than them.
24. ‘Cyclonus, the Warrior’… a warrior wouldn’t necessarily need gigantic audio receptors. Maybe those things on his head have another purpose?
Like a lot of fanon about stuff like chevrons and other seemingly decorative head features - they're sensors.
no subject
From how the end of that is phrased, they must know each other's secret and be looking out for each other. I would think Sideswipe also knows - being Sunny's twin.
27. ‘Wheeljack’, verb:
Refers to events of utter explosive chaos that follows after someone has said: "I wonder how this would work...?"
28. Art or fic. Dinobots/Aerialbots/Stunticons/Protectobots, on Cybertron and homesick for Earth.
Aww!
30. Bumblebee gets initiated into the Insecticons.
Reminds me of TWTT - Bee in it is Insect caste.
35. Unicron and Galvatron have ‘father-son’ time.
XD
36. What effect could the Grim Reaper have on Cybertronians?
Death: HMM... I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE OF YOU BEFORE... BUT STILL... *slice!*
40. Before the inevitable paranoia struck, Red Alert was a powerful and well-respected seer/prophet. Rich mechs paid incredible prices just for a minute’s use of his abilities.
Maybe his paranoia was started because his abilities started playing up and he got a Cassandra-like reputation (everyone stopped believing him, even when he got things right). He no longer knows which visions are going to happen and which won't and is trying to guard against all of them, just in case the worst ones come true.
48. Post-war, Optimus struggles to control the Autobots’ thirst for vengeance.
Reminds me of a recent fic about how the Decepticons had been subjugated and oppressed after the war, when the old corrupt government reappeared. Only in that, Starscream (who the fic is in the POV of) thinks that Optimus Prime is totally ignorant of what is happening.
52. If Cyclonus had been just a little slower, and Starscream had managed to complete the ceremony, everything would have been different. ‘Coronation’ is merely a petty human idea which Starscream used to mask his true intentions. The ceremony had another purpose…
A special system was in place that would allow Starscream to control the minds of every robot on Cybertron, and any Cybertronian who is offworld, if they come within range of it will be subjected to it's effect. Starscream was slowly setting this up over the last several years, since the 'Cons had taken control of Cybertron again, right under Megatron's nose. The crown he was to be crowned with actually had something fitted in it that would help him control this system.
54. Cybertronians with the Basilisk’s ability (if you look them in the optics, you die). Maybe the mechs with visors, like Jazz and Soundwave…
Ooooh... yet another idea for my Audius muse!
60. Bluestreak didn’t survive the attack on his city by accident…
A. He was deliberately spared because he’s the sparkling/sparkmate/creator of one of the Decepticon attackers.
Creator. One of his parents was a Seeker. The other parent was high-ranking in the Praxian government and knows about the Praxian hatred of Seekers and willingly hid in the city to keep Blue from being upgraded to a full Seeker. Somehow Blue's Seeker father found out and was particularly vicious on the attack because Praxus actively suppresses Seekers, but in the aftermath couldn't find Blue.
Blue didn't have a clue in all this and actively hid from the searching Decepticon, thinking he'd be killed if found. The Seeker was forced to leave when Autobot forces fought the Decepticons back.
C. Primus himself caused certain wrecked buildings to fall in a pattern that hid and protected Bluestreak.
My Primus muse likes this.
no subject
My muse on the other hand is whimpering at this.
63. When the Ark crashed, Megatron was still second-in-command to the first Decepticon Lord; Starscream was third-in command and Megatron’s loyal ally.
... PORN!
65. Starscream + Coffee.
Eep.
66. Arcee ditches Hot Rod and Springer for Galvatron (or Cyclonus).
I will give her credit for some sense and say Cyclonus - he's sane and needs love, considering all the slag he puts up with to keep his insane leader in line.
68. Certain G1 mechs wake up from recharge one day with the voices of their Movieverse counterparts.
Well at least Optimus's voice doesn't change much, just gets slightly more gravely. (There is a difference between Cullen's voice in the movie and what it was back in G1. I chalk it up to age.)
70. Fic based on this picture.
Primus decides to pull a prank on Megatron, turning the Seekers into human-sized pixies... complete with magic powers.
71. Skywarp as Starscream and Thundercracker’s sparkling, because red + blue = purple. I don’t know why this possibility hasn’t occurred to me before.
Oooh... Star/Cracker!
80. Somewhere beneath the accumulated filth of endless conflict, Cybertron still remains golden.
One of my OCs, Marita Prime, says that one has to go deep to find it, and if any of the surfacers got that deep the Clan of Primus would send them back - with force if needed. Those areas still golden are Lord Primus's vital systems and the Clan defends and maintains them religiously. (Marita is a Servant of Primus who co-leads the Clan alongside her bondmate. Marita frequently has a lot to do with my Primus-Mags muse.)
Ahhh, your style of commenting is so confusing! XD
I didn't even consider the multi-generational relationship-weirdness that would happen with this. That would be quite strange.
Crack: Scrapper is the leader of the Constructicons because he is really a she, and is just that bit more mature, practical and motherly that she keeps all her brothers in line.
Awww. Mommy Scrapper!
And is frantically trying to charade out what he's trying to communicate, but it's hard for everyone to understand because he moves so fast his hands look like blurs.
*giggles* Poor spazzy Blurr.
They stay apart like that for several centuries, until Decepticons become a myth on Earth, akin to demons (to match the Unicron = the devil).
Oooh! That would make it even harder for the Decepticons to get help if Unicron tried to take control of their minds and send them out as his servants.
Rumble and Frenzy with their sparkling, while he was still smaller than them.
Baby Soundwave and his parents, so cute! Although I do really want to see li'l Soundwave riding on Ravage.
Like a lot of fanon about stuff like chevrons and other seemingly decorative head features - they're sensors.
HUGE sensors. I wonder if all that sensory data would drive him crazy after a while.
Death: HMM... I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE OF YOU BEFORE... BUT STILL... *slice!*
I wonder if he'd have to assume a Cybertronian form just to get tall enough to reach their sparks?
Maybe his paranoia was started because his abilities started playing up and he got a Cassandra-like reputation (everyone stopped believing him, even when he got things right).
Oooh! *fascinated* Maybe he predicted an end to the corruption of the Autobot government. The Autobot people believed the prediction, but the Decepticons dismissed it and started their revolution, which indeed ended the corruption by removing the entire government.
Reminds me of a recent fic about how the Decepticons had been subjugated and oppressed after the war
I read that one! Gave me chills. Megatron in a gibbet... and the Decepticons' reactions to the execution were perfect. I'm really curious to find out where Optimus is in all of this.
The crown he was to be crowned with actually had something fitted in it that would help him control this system.
*loves* Yes! That explains why the crown wasn't destroyed when Galvatron blasted Starscream - it was reinforced to protect against destruction and its armor was just weakened. And Galvatron stepped on it before he found out what it was! Bet he was mad later.
... PORN!
*is confused*
I will give her credit for some sense and say Cyclonus - he's sane and needs love, considering all the slag he puts up with to keep his insane leader in line.
I agree - he does deserve a little comfort.
(There is a difference between Cullen's voice in the movie and what it was back in G1. I chalk it up to age.)
The difference seemed to suit Movie-Optimus. I saw something on YouTube with one of Movie-Megatron's scenes and G1-Megatron's voice, and the two didn't work well together at all.
Primus decides to pull a prank on Megatron, turning the Seekers into human-sized pixies... complete with magic powers.
Oh dear. What sort of powers, I wonder... poor Megatron.
One of my OCs, Marita Prime, says that one has to go deep to find it, and if any of the surfacers got that deep the Clan of Primus would send them back - with force if needed.
This reminds me of something I read with a hidden underground civilization, surrounded by a sea that made aboveworlders forget about what they'd seen if they fell into it.

Maybe because he's a space jet, he needs higher sensory abilities, hence the size of those horns. Of course the idea that he frequently has sensory overloads of a non-life afirming type would be interesting.
Death: HMM... I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE OF YOU BEFORE... BUT STILL... *slice!*

He just has Binky stand in midair.

Megatron and Starscream getting along? Demands porn between them. Of course so does them not getting along, which does prove some of the complaints I've seen levelled at fanfiction in general that everything is an excuse for porn.
(There is a difference between Cullen's voice in the movie and what it was back in G1. I chalk it up to age.)

Yeah, that's also in the DVD extras for the movie.
Random thought: Bumblebee finds he can't talk without constant static.

Heh, yeah, something like that, though the Clan probably set up the systems that would wipe people's memories.

Firestar: What's your problem? I thought you wanted Red Alert not Inferno?
G,H and I. I like all of those.

A bored Megatron is a dangerous Megatron.

A hidden paradise... I wonder how the different factions would react? Some might want to enlist the hidden mechs' help, others might want to protect them.

40. Before the inevitable paranoia struck, Red Alert was a powerful and well-respected seer/prophet. Rich mechs paid incredible prices just for a minute’s use of his abilities.
This reminds me of a TFA bunny I had
completely forgotten about. *goes to write it down before I forget*47. Feral (like animals, or prehistoric humans) Cybertronians.

6. G1 Blurr loses his voice.
No! Don't say stuff like this! I don't need any more ideas revolving around Blurr! I have enough as it is!
20. “You’ve got it all wrong. They’re more like… like a two-mech gestalt than anything else.”
This is fascinating, but I can't think of anyone who it'd actually be besides maybe Squakbox...
34. No one ever suspected that Jazz’s ability to quickly gain the trust of others had a more sinister source than mere charisma.
He's a serial killer! (Dunno how that thought sprang up so suddenly, but yeah...)
36. What effect could the Grim Reaper have on Cybertronians?
Funny you should mention this; I'm working on the outline of a story that involves, among other things, a Cybertronian Grim Reaper.
37. (AU) After the mechs in G1/original-movie canon ‘die’, they wake up on the Ark - which actually crash-landed on a Quintesson world rather than Earth in the first G1 episode. Although the actual Quintessons died out before the crash, some mysterious force remains which forced the stasis-locked Cybertronians into a complex dream state. The ‘dead’ mechs must figure out how to re-enter the simulation and ‘kill’ their comrades, freeing them from the simulation as well.
...I love this idea so much...
57. All his life, he’s been able to see the future. Every battle, every action, every conversation plays out just the way it does in his head beforehand. Then one day, he hears a passing comment on the battlefield which deviates from the ‘script’ – and realizes that the other mech is immune to fate and thus has the power to change the inevitable outcome of the war.
I like this idea too, and it kinda fits into my personal canon. For some reason in my head the first mech is Perceptor, and the second is either Hot Rod or Skywarp. Again, dunno why.
66. Arcee ditches Hot Rod and Springer for Galvatron (or Cyclonus).
Haha. I guess she finally got fed up of their competing for her attention! I think Cyclonus would be a good match for her, He's very bright, and seems to even have a masochistic side if she ever gets too bitchy... Hahaha...
68. Certain G1 mechs wake up from recharge one day with the voices of their Movieverse counterparts.
It'd be funniest for Jazz and Ironhide. And does that mean Bee has no voice? AND STARSCREAM SOUNDS NORMAL!? (Well... moreso than now...)
72. One of the chutes in the Autobot public laboratory labeled ‘hazardous waste’ actually leads somewhere more interesting than a modified disposal unit.
The land of the dead! (Wow, my brain is working on strange wavelengths today...)

For a literal two-mech gestalt, I guess the Optimus & Jetfire style combos in Armada would technically fit.

Ooh! What does he look like? Does he talk in ALL CAPS?

Some might say that the only way Hot Rod could ever become Prime would be by messing with destiny.
I think Cyclonus would be a good match for her, He's very bright, and seems to even have a masochistic side if she ever gets too bitchy... Hahaha...
All true! And I'm sure he's more than capable of dealing with Springer and Hot Rod, if they object to her choice.

Megatron: Yep.

It sounds a little Matrix-y, but I can see this. Somehow, in my mind, all the 'bots and 'cons were on the Ark and had been at war with the Qunitessons; in fact, 'Autobot' and 'Decepticon' were not faction names but two different specialized forces in the Cybertronian military. And after they've been 'killed' they can access their true memories that may have manifested in odd ways in the dream-state (like, Red Alert and Starscream are bondmates but were different branches, so that translated into the events of "Auto Berserk" for a short while, but now that they're out of the simulation they can remember everything).
