2. The gods of his childhood had never much resembled the deities of the rest of Cybertron.
Perhaps 'his' deities do resemble those of Earth's civilizations, very closely?
4. A young Megatron ends up transported through time and space
*LOVES IT ALL* Someone write this please!! Young miner Megatron (an idealistic Megatron! *squees*) loose in the G1 time would be a riot! I bet he'd get along well with Starscream and Optimus, because it would just make the whole situation that much weirder. Hopefully Starscream doesn't get the idea of recruiting idealistic Megatron into killing old Megatron and replacing him.
7. Spike and Sparkplug got rescued. What happened to everyone else on that oil rig?
And if they didn't make it, than isn't it rather suspicious that Spike and Sparkplug don't seem to feel guilty about it at all? Makes you wonder what kind of examples of the human race to the Autobots they really are...
9. Femme!Megatron as a serious story. Down in mines, gender didn’t matter much, except for the children you might be forced to spark. (“ain’t I a women?” inspired this)
Maybe she's the mother of all the Decepticons! But when they were taken away, they were raised to respect mechs more than femmes, so to keep control of her rowdy brood...
18. It occurs to me, that after the original seven, Sector Seven somehow managed to get two or three generations to all join up, without any leaks to the public. 21 teenagers and young adults, seven every twenty years (at least!), and none of them said anything. In America. Where rebellion against authority is glorified, and rejecting the family business is considered a happy ending.
*cough*mindcontrol*cough*
22. He never apologized for the soldiers he’d killed, because apologizing would cheapen their deaths, turn heroic sacrifices into regrettable accidents.
I can see this as the kind of view Megatron might have.
23. Everyone here’s seen the G1 opening credits, right? Especially that bit where Megatron and Optimus start fighting, and what looks like a theoretical model for a black hole opens under them and they disappear. (Really. See it here.) Where’d they go?
*LOVES* Good question!
Black hole: *vanishes* Bots & Cons: *blink**blink* Wait, where'd they go?
30. I have this strange image, of an annoyed Megatron holding Starscream down (not like that, you perverts) as he paints ‘Void’ across Star’s faction symbols. Giggling Rumble in the corner, most likely responsible for whatever Meg’s pissed about, entirely optional.
*giggles* My mental imaging turned this into Starscream as a bounced check.
31. Starscream isn’t actually that interested in overthrowing Megatron. He’s just covering for his trine mates until Skywarp and Thundercracker can put their master plan into action.
*fascinated*
32. A gestalt is the sum of its parts. A group of bar brawlers with all the depth of parking lot puddles can’t combine to form a scientist, a group of violent maniacs can’t create a pacifist, and a group of fliers can’t combine into a mech comfortable on the ground. Superion would need at least one ground bound mech to function, or at the very least, a mech more comfortable on the ground. (Silverbolt’s fear of heights was no accident.)
True! *ponders* So are all the gestalts except for the Constructicons a little frustrated, since they're all partly-flyers and not exactly aerodynamic?
