Um, hi, I have NO idea what I'm doing here. This is my first Livejournal post ever. Like, EVER ever. I just know there are bunnies in my head, and they won't get out unless I tell someone. Since there are no Transformers fans nearby, you guys are stuck with them. Thank you very much!
1. TFA bunny inspired by Bioshock. (Apparently someone named Puffitheinsane had an idea like this, too! Awesome! Hope you don't mind if I expand a bit.) Bumblebee, being Bumblebee, figured out that it's much easier to play video games when you interface directly with the old-fashioned consoles like the XBox360. It's especially handy for those scary games like Bioshock- Hey, look, it's raining- LIGHTNING. Bumblebee is now a Little Sister, with Bulkhead as his Big Daddy. The Autobots want to change him back right away, but the Elite Guard wants him to stay the way he is due to his newfound ability to find Allspark fragments.
a. The Elite Guard tries to get Bumblebee to imprint on Sentinel, putting the little fragment-tracker under their control.
b. Bee, whilst tracking the ADA- I mean, Allspark, kills one of the fragment-powered bots. (If you wanna go cracky with this, I'd suggest one of the Dinobots. Serious-wise, I'd go with Wreck-Gar, but that'd be HARSH.)
c. Bulkhead decides he LIKES being Bumblebee's Big Daddy, and wants to keep up the behavior after Bumblebee is cured.
2. G1. Inferno always wanted to marry/bond with Firestar... but he wanted to have sparklings with Red Alert.
3. G1. How'd the Autobots learn English without an internet? They watched TV! Cue Sparkplug and Spike talking to the Autobots like kindergarteners until they graduate from PBS.
4. Kinda goes with the above. Blaster is the communications officer. His job is to decode the native language of the planet so the Autobots can speak with the dominant sentient species. So, while he's trying to figure out whether sedans or hatchbacks rule the Earth, Mirage is shooting at the little two-legged animals that keep sneaking around the base.
a. Hound, the animal rights activist, tries to protect the humans from Mirage.
b. Mirage, before learning of human sentience, kills Spike's mother.
c. Bumblebee, horrified with how the humans have been treated by the Autobots prior to their discovery, runs off with Spike to try and be "The Wild Bot of Earth".
1. He doesn't make it down the street. (I know I wasn't the only kid to try and "run away from home" only to make it to the end of the driveway...)
5. TFA. Wasp has G1 Red Alert's paranoia glitch. Even though he knows the truth, it's impossible for him to believe it anymore.
6. Any continuity, I suppose. The Decepticons are vicious little buggers because of Megatron. Literally. He exudes some frequency, pheromone, vibe, that drives them all up the wall. If he's ever gone for an extended period of time, the Decepticons revert back to their normal state: basically Autobots that play rough and would rather insult their best friend than give them hugs.
7. Humans do the gesture of "make a ring with your fingers on one hand, stick a finger from your other hand through it" gesture (at least in the USA) to sophomorically refer to intercourse. To the plug'n'play practicing Cybertronians, this is the equivalent of the middle finger. (... in the USA, once again. Man, I feel all yocal-y today...)
8. TFA. Whilst floating out in space, Megatron and Starscream's head run across the TFA Octane. Starscream makes a friend. In doing so, Octane makes a mortal enemy.
9. G1. Wheeljacks' head fins aren't part of his model. He doesn't even like them. But Red Alert insisted he have them installed before he joined the Ark's crew so he could tell when he was talking.
a. Red Alert's gotten so good at reading Wheeljack's fins over the security cameras that he can predict laboratory explosions with 37% accuracy.
1. Ratchet: "Well, that's 36% more accuracy that I have, at any rate."
10. TFA. Wreck-Gar takes after his voice-actor. He's a musical prodigy, making instruments out of junk much like the Blue Man Group.
a. Or, even better, TFA Wreck-Gar goes back in time and MEETS his voice-actor. Who can out-silly who ensues.
1. ... this isn't really a bunny, I just noticed that in "Human Error, part 2", Wreck-Gar just wanders around the city cleaning up trash once the episode's over. I think it'd be cute to see a fic where the Autobots are driving around having a conversation and they stop to say "Hi, Wreck-Gar!" as they pass. Especially multiple times in the same fic.
11. TFA. Prowl was secretly overjoyed that Bumblebee had figured out the art of spark energy alignment through cable massage without even realizing what he was doing.
12. G1. Ratchet and Wheeljack have a tiff over something. Should be something big, the biggest being Ratchet taking a lover while leaving Wheeljack single. Wheeljack, jealous and angry and all sorts of nasty things, transfers to the new moon base, and the Dinobots are stuck in the middle of their parent's "divorce".
a. Grimlock: (over the video-com) "You Daddy Wheeljack sick like Him Sparkplug?"
Wheeljack: "No, Grimlock..."
Snarl: "You Daddy Wheeljack mad at Us Dinobots?"
Wheeljack: "WHAT?! No, nev- well, that's not the reason for THIS-"
Slag: "You Daddy Wheeljack dating like Him Daddy Ratchet?"
Wheeljack: (angry noise) "No..."
Swoop: "You Daddy Wheeljack pregnant like Him New Daddy Sideswipe?"
Wheeljack: (hangs up)
Grimlock: "... us Dinobots miss you..."
13. G1. The Insecticons like trying to clean themselves like Earth bugs do. Just not when anyone's watching. People tend to think their collective laughter is creepier'n the Pit.
14. G1 or TFA. Optimus Prime: Jazz, Bumblebee, (human child), welcome back! How was your trip?
Jazz: How was our trip? Bumblebee, tell him about where we were. What'd it smell like?
Bumblebee: Smelled like the Pit.
Jazz: How loud was it?
Bumblebee: Louder than the Pit.
Jazz: How many people were there?
Bumblebee: More crowded than the Pit. (continue in this ripping-off-of-Jeff-Dunham vein ad nauseum)
Jazz: Where were we, Bee?
Bumblebee: IN THE PIT!
Human: We were at the Chuck E. Cheese for (other human's) birthday party.
15. TFA. Maybe G1, but it'd be A STRETCH, ha-cha-cha-cha! Bumblebee has the ability to stretch his leg (either one) out behind him and up until he can touch it to the top of his head. Cue overheated systems.
16. TFA. Sentinel: (insults Optimus in Cybertroni (The Cybertronian language, whatever it's called.)
Optimus: (shushes Sentinel) We don't speak Cybertroni in front of Sari.
Sentinel: Why not? She can't understand what we're saying anyway.
Optimus: I know. She doesn't deserve to get left out of the conversation.
17. Or, on that same note, the Autobots don't speak their language... period. Their native language is vibrations picked up through the ground through their feet or tires, like elephants. (It's 1 in the morning, forgive me if my grammar isn't stellar.) Once they started building their planet upwards, they found their old language was obsolete and used some other culture's.
a. Back on Earth, a nice solid planet, they start using their native "tongue" once again. The humans wonder why the Autobots are reacting to nothing, but not as much as they're wondering why the ground's shaking.
b. The native language is proving to be a HUGE advantage over the Decepticons due to their airborne nature. Even if they can feel the vibrations, they can't understand them.
18. Seeker feet aren't made for walking. They're delicate, loaded with sensors, and can't have too much weight put directly on them without being crushed in the process. LET THE TICKLE TORTURE COMMENCE.
19. Every continuity has a Dinobot Island. Rather, every continuity has THE Dinobot Island. Each continuity is free to come and go to each series as he or she pleases... as long as he or she doesn't get lost.
20. TFA. After... something happens, Bumblebee is scared to death of the Elite Guard. (Somebody had a bunny like this out there somewhere, but hers(?) was specifically with Ironhide.) Horrified. Beyond all-senses cowering in terror.
21. G1. Bots all over the ship start powering down, going into statis for no apparent reason. Grapple, Huffer, Red Alert, Cosmos (he was the first, found after a crash landing)... then the Autobots notice that the ones going into statis are ones that don't have mates. (Not necessairly virgins, just ones that haven't had a good snuggle in a long time.)
22. Movie. The Allspark brings to life one of those beaded, super-decorated 18 wheelers found in the Middle East. The result is basically a sparkly Optimus. (I have one in my head. She's a femme named Lorry. Get it? (ahem) Moving on...)
23. How to get out of a Decepticon prison cell REALLY FAST:
Autobot: jgudjgjugjgue- (mumble mumble)
Decepticon: ? (gets closer to the door to listen)
Autobot: And then The Cheat comes in on keyboards andhe'sliekboopboopboop- (gets even softer)
Decepticon: ?? (leans in really close to hear)
Autobot: And the dragon comes in the-
All Autobots: NIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!
Decepticon: (dead from shock)
24. TFA. Optimus: I don't know how he does it without knowing what is really is, but I think Wreck-Gar really enjoys being sexy.
I couldn't find the rules, so I hope I didn't break any. Once again, thank you very much!
