1.  The cassettes - Frenzy, Rumble, Ramhorn, Eject, all the others - are parasitical mechs.
  a.  They can drink energon, but it's not very efficient for them, and to properly refuel, they need a host.
  b.  Preferences are enemy mechs - Lazerbeak, Buzzsaw, seek out unwary Autobots, Steeljaw, Rewind, hunt down Decepticions
  c.  Femmes can't be utilized - something about their sparks is poison to parastical cassettes.
  d. Carrier mechs (Tape Decks) are able to support more than one cassette at a time, with few negative side effects.
  e.  Soundwave and Blaster, don't have full sparks due to constantly being 'drained'
  f.  Tape Decks are fully matured parasitical mechs that don't need spark energy to sustain themselves.
  g.  Cassettes (Ratbat, Flipsides, Ravage, etc) can share the spark-energies drained from others with their hosts.
  h.  Cassette Players (Blaster, Soundwave), are immune to the spark drain
     I.  Being immune, they can support dozens of immature cassettes and those with only half-a-spark
     II.  Being immune, they are the preferred energy source of cassettes.
     III.  Because they are immune, they don't realize that their cassettes are a threat to their respective army's healt.
  i.  The cassettes are parasitical only under specific conditions - (not all the time, like once a vorn, or at random times, and rarely more than one or two at a time)
  j.  The cassettes aren't really Parasites - Megatron only thinks they are.  Optimus knows they are aren't.


2.  Mature Tape Decks have mental powers - like telepathy and empathy - that are enhanced when combined with the smaller, mobile mechs.  (The more cassettes, the larger the cohort, the stronger their mental power and ability to influence/touch others)

3. Rewind, Lasserbeak, etc, are offshoots of city-mechs (like Typricon), - melded consciousness, melded spark to the largest known mecha, (extensions), yet separate – used as couriers and unbreakable lines of communication.
Eject, Buzzsaw, etc – can survive away/without being reabsorbed back into city-former sparks, but only if given room to dock with a combatable carrier. 
Ergo, every sparked city has a minimum of one communication mech that doubled as a cassette carrier, who traded information across faction borders – when the city dies, often the cohort carrier and cassettes do too, (since A, tape decks are rare, B, few mecha are willing to siphon their own spark energies for strangers, C, carriers go insane without micros around)

4. Cassettes are extensions of a city-former.
Need morbile spark-carrier if to survive away from city-mech.
Only some can sustanin detached, unstable life forms – fewer still are willing to ‘dock’ them.


5. Cassettes – are future gestalts.  (If they survive, and get sufficient fuel)

You know how when you're typing sometimes your fingers go and type out familiar movements that don't make real words? (Like, I often put a "g" after an "n", whether it goes there or not.) Well, I did that today, and it spawned a bunny.

I tried to type cassetticon. I typed cassetticone, and had the sudden image of a cassette that transformed into a construction cone or something.

Do with it as you will.

EDIT: I just did it again, this time with "Constructicone." (Which actually makes more sense, now that I think about it...)

Oh joy, Transformer Plot ideas and snippits I can’t work into a story/ficlet at this time.  I want to see them, but keeping them straight (and giving them the attention they deserve) is not possible right now.


WARNING! .... The technical background gets a bit wordy ... )

Well, now that I got these off my chest, maybe I can actually work on the stories that are bouncing around in the attic.  If any of the bunnies attack you, so sorry, but I would like to see the results.

3, 4 &, 5 kind of go together, in mind at least, but can be done separatley.

1. ‘So… you guys do this to each other often?’ Lennox asked wryly, breaking the stunned silence which had filled the room shortly after their entrance. Optimus only produced a staticy burst in response, blue optics glued to the battered figure chained and riveted to the far wall before them. The Seeker’s once beautiful wings were torn and scratched where heavy bolts passed through them, holding him in place like an organic insect. Fluids of various colors flowed down to form a puddle at the wall’s base, the numerous wounds along Starscream’s body continuing to ooze slowly, sparks hissing softly as they fell from damaged circuits to drown in the discolored liquid.

2. Alone they were no match for the pretty Seeker’s speed. Together there was no way they could fail.

3. The Seeker youngling shied away from the reaching hands of his adoptive ‘creator’, small red optics, bright with fear, looking frantically for an escape route. A dark, velvety chuckle following his retreat, a large silver hand managing to catch hold of his forearm, delicate, underdeveloped plating collapsing slightly under the applied pressure.

4. The exhausted youngling struggled to rise, limbs slipping through the pool of purged energon and bled-out fluids beneath him, as one of his ‘creators’ meticulously scribbled down notes on the data-pad he held.

5. He curled tightly into his ‘creator’s’ lap, clicking quietly as large claws smoothed over his quivering wings, Soundwave’s cassettes crowding around them to coo gently at their frightened ‘sibling’.

6. Perhaps it was divine, more likely infernal, intervention which kept Megatron from striking Starscream while Devastator had reign, perhaps it was some ingrained, unacknowledged sense of self-preservation on the volatile mech’s part. More than likely it was just luck. But on whose side it lay was debatable.
