(no subject)
If you can’t tell by now, I really, really like crossovers.
It also seems that I like putting the bots in situations where they’re way over their head.
1. Since the Decepticons were made by the Quintessons as the Gladiator class, and the Twins were sparked as gladiators (fanon), does that make them Decepticon by birth?
2. Considering the fact that most of the personality is basically lines of code and programming like in a computer and there are a number of Transformers with severe personality glitches, what exactly would happen if someone went into their CPUs and simply erased those codes?
3. As feared as Sunstreaker is among both factions, what no one realizes is that the truly dangerous one of the two is Sideswipe. Sociopathy vs. Psychopathy.
4. Each faction has their own distinct religions. How exactly do these beliefs affect their actions and the war? Autobots; Sons of Cybertron. Decepticons; The Ultimate Warrior. Mix of both groups; Souls of Cybertron. Unicron worshipers; Bearers of the Void. Evolutionaries; none of the above. We need more fics focusing on them.
5. The All Spark was an extension of Primus’ will. Basically a religious artifact of great importance to the Cybertronain people. So how do they deal with an organic not only becoming the new All Spark but also changing form to essentially become one of them?
6. Crossover Star Wars: Battlefront 2. There’s a full scale battle waging between the Rebels and the Empire on a planet of your choice. (I’d either go with Hoth or Felucia because of the extremes. Maybe Kashyyyk for the OMG giant trees!!!! reaction. Or Mustafar because I want to see their reaction to a planet that is basically a giant smelting pit. Or Endor because the Ewoks would take down the Cons just like the did the AT-STs, and that would be priceless.) The Autobots land and quickly have to take on an alt form before one of the organics notices them and don’t have a whole lot of time to do research on the group they’ve chosen to hide around. It’s not until some dressed in white armor enter them do they have a WTF?! Oh, shi- moment when they finally do some research on the two groups and realize that they’ve just chosen their alt forms for the faction that is basically the organic version of the Decepticons. Or you can have the Cons land and take the alt forms of some Rebel craft.
7. Force sensitive Transformer.
8. Take your OTPs or OT3s and combine them to form OT4s or larger groups. (Why yes it IS inspired by that one absolutely wonderful crack story. A story I hope spawns many, many more fics.)
9. A lightsaber wielding Transformer. Because I really want to see one. Especially if said Transformer has four or more arms.
10. Ravage, before he was a cassette for Soundwave, use to guard Elders. Then he met Megatron and decided his way was the best and joined the Decepticons. Ratbat was a successful and powerful senator, with Soundwave working under him. What about the other cassettes, what were they doing before becoming Soundwave’s cassettes?
11. Considering that Ratbat use to be a high ranking official with Soundwave working for him, with a large powerful body like the other Transformers of the Con army, what must it be like to have such a weak body, his relationship now with Soundwave and has he ever tried to return to the way he was? Or, he did finally succeed in returning to his old body.
12. In G1 the Constructicons made Trypticon out of an existing human city. So, in Movie verse, which city do they choose to build him out of this time? They’d probably each choose a different city and proceed to bicker like spoiled sparklings about why their city of choice is better.
13. Do any of the bots have to take on an alt form that they truly and honestly can’t stand, but they have to take it in order to survive/blend it?
14. A favorite pairing is Ratchet/Megatron. What I’m curious about is how would that pair translate over to the Shattered Glass verse? Megatron as the pet while Ratchet uses him for medical experiments? Or other pairings for that matter, particularly the more rare or crack ones.
15. Remember all those crack sparklings that were popping up on tf2007fun, where people imagined what the sparklings of certain popular pairings would look like and what their personalities would be? Well, what about Animated crack sparklings? Come on, I know you all want to see the spawn of Ratchet and Blitzwing or Starscream and Blurr.
16. Sometime during the course of the movie, human of your choice, rediscovers an ancient talent that has been forgotten by all humans. The art of summoning. Inspired by this absolutely stunning print of Summoner on DevArt.
17. Crossover with Incarnations of Immortality by Piers Anthony. Death, Nature, War, Time, Fate, Good, Evil, all are offices that regular mortals can take so long as they meet certain requirements. There are also the minor offices that work under the main ones like Love, Pestilence, and others. The Transformers realize there’s an even grander war that’s been raging on Earth since the beginning of that planet and they get caught up in it when basically all the humans they’ve worked with becomes one of the Incarnations. Sam-Death, Mikeala-Nature, Lennox-War, Simmons/Keller-Time, Judy/Maggie/Momma Simmons-Fate, ?-Good, ?-Evil.
18. Since a Cybertronian can basically mimic any alt form so long as there is enough detail and information about it, does that mean with books like Dragonology could they turn into mythical creatures?
19. With how long they live, and the fact that no matter how advanced they are there are always limits to how much information machinery can store, does that mean that after they reach a certain age, they have to start erasing memories to make more room? If that’s true how must younglings feel about the prospect of losing some of their first memories? (I know of one fic that only lightly touches on the subject.)
20. Gaia, the goddess of the earth, has been slumbering for millions of years. It’s not until the Transformers come that she awakens because of the imminent threat they pose to her and her children. So how does everyone react when the earth itself starts fighting back. (Think WEAPONS from FF7.) Other gods or spirits can be included of course. Or, everyone finds out that Primus and Unicron isn’t the only god taking on the form of a planet.
21. Lloth, the Spider Queen and Blackarachnia. Because seeing those two interact would be beyond awesome.
22. Do Transformers ever go dumpster diving? Besides Junkions that is, ‘cause they basically live on a giant dumpster.
23. With the cost of rising fuel, how exactly do the Autobots deal with payment? Or the Cons? Barricade could do what many Cops are doing and put a charge on all tickets for fuel. Ratchet could possibly do the same thing. They can and do make converters for many different types of energy into energon, but before they’re able to make those devices or are able to gather enough energy from alternate sources.
24. Cybertronain musical instruments.
25. Considering viruses can cause a complete crash and the fact that Cybertronians are basically super advanced computers in some aspects, what would the punishment be for a ‘former who caused a complete CPU malfunction? How are these criminals, who have no qualms about mucking around in another’s beings mind, treated by Cybertronain society?
26. Tiny Transformers take on beast alt forms. Chickadees, mice, humming bird, house wren etc. Because I want to see a flock of humming bird Transformers take on a Seeker.
27. Cybertronain ghost stories and myths.
28. Animated. Blitzwing was meant to be like Reflector, that of one spark shared between three separate bodies that could combine into one large body. But something went wrong in the development process.
29. Animated. Optimus/Ratchet. Because Optimus is obsessed with history and learning everything he can. Ratchet is living history.
30. Fic based on the song Secret Smile by Semisonic.
31. Quite a few of the glitches different mechs have is because of circumstances that happened on Earth. What would happen should everyone go back to Cybertron and actually have all those glitches fixed? How vastly different would some of their personalities be after glitches formed by alt modes are fixed?
32. Warning: Long bunny is long.
Unicron may be a dark god, but he’s not stupid. He knows of his impending death and takes measures to make sure he isn’t completely eradicated in this realm. He does that by capturing a mech and basically brainwashing them to a degree. Basically, he puts the mech through a bunch of psychological crap that only a god is able to do.
Imagine you’re a mortal inside a god, and said god shows you an area where all the matter he consumed is still in existence, able to be recreated again, exactly the same as it was before it was destroyed. He lets you play with it, feeling the energy and literally having the ability to recreate the entire universe at your fingertips. Then the god comes up behind you, wrapping his arms around you, and whispers in your audio that he’s patient, that he can wait many lifetimes before devouring anything, and that if you’ll create for him, he’ll wait a number of your lifetimes before consuming it all again. All this time, little worlds and galaxies are forming and reforming in your hands. Entire populations growing and evolving right before your optics. Showing you the worlds that had been destroyed, the people living happy full lives like they should have been.
After a set amount of time, he puts the mech in stasis lock and creates a secondary laser core/spark chamber underneath the one of the mech’s. Then he takes his spark and shrinks it down as much as possible, leaving a residue spark energy so it still appears that he’s alive, and inserts the shrunk spark in the core/chamber. The mech doesn’t know about this, at least not for quite some time. But then the dark spark starts influencing the mech, and it pretty much all goes downhill from there.
Based on this utterly creepy dream I had where I was my OC Eclipse and that’s what happened to him. It was one of those dreams that felt so real it was like it actually happened and completely freaked me out. Eclipse also happens to be a cassette host/creator and to have his bonds severed by the god and then told that his cassettes were dead (when they weren’t) was deeply…detrimental to his mentality.
33. There’s a reason the Decepticons don’t have a bunch of mines surrounding their base to prevent the Autobots from simply swimming there. And that’s because nearly the entire base kept on forgetting the exact locations…
34. Because of the crossover fic and all the art turning the ‘formers into CARS. My question is, if they were to all meet, who would pair up with who?
35. Do Transformers have diseases like we do? You know, where they’re out in the rain too long and they catch their version of a cold. Only, it’d probably be in the form of a computer virus, maybe traveling on random radio waves there are viruses that basically act like bacteria, or something. They’re even able to evolve so that what killed them before has no affect on them, like the bacteria here on Earth.
36. Crossover. Blurr, Bluestreak and Flash meet.
37. How do the Transformers (medics and healers in particular) feel about their organic friends and allies self medicating themselves with substances that could easily kill them at worst and bring about nasty side affects at least?
38. Animated. Drunk Blitzwing. For some reason, I think he’d probably be of two extremes; either utterly out of control (wonder if his heads would get stuck in place from fighting for dominance) or in complete control and peaceful.
39. The only thing worse than an astro tick or a turbo flea would have to be their version of poison ivy. Can you imagine something that could aggravate all the nanites that the bots are made of to the point that they form these blister like things that ooze to get rid of the irritant/poison from the mechanical plant? Either that or some sort or organic/techno-organic plant that has the same affect as poison ivy and they’ve never had to deal with a medical condition like that. ‘Cause I’ve never had poison ivy in my entire life until a few days ago.
40. There are quite a few Autobots and Decepticons that are very close in personality and morals to the opposite faction. So, take all of them, and switch their allegiance, having them either being with the opposite group from the start or switching after a time. Or, you could just have a mass switch where they all go to the opposite faction at the same time, with all the commanders and higher ups having a WTF? moment. They could also possibly be spies, where all the rumors floating around their base is actually true.
41. Ya know, depending on what continuity and creation/history of Cybertron you go by, the Decepticons would absolutely freak/die/have an aneurysm/go crazy when they learned that their planet use to be organic, and then when it was changed into a techno-organic world.
42. How old exactly is Cybertron? And how much of their past history have the Transformers actually lost?
43. Oddly, the happiest Wheeljack seems to be is not when he’s working on an experiment or finally figuring out how to fix a problem he’s been working on for ages. No, the times he’s the happiest is when he’s waving an amputated limb at a fuming Ratchet and blithely rambling on about the projects he’s working on at the moment, where he went wrong to cause the explosion and how he plans on fixing it. (because some people are just simply happy even when they’re missing a limb and they typically wait a few hours before deciding to go see a medic about their problem.)
44. Crossover. Spiderwick Chronicles. The dwarves in these books are expert mechanics, making items that are so lifelike that they actually share personality traits with the real creature they’re modeled from. They’re also obsessed with the short lives of the organisms around them, planning on one day to turn the Earth and everything on it into metal. Then they meet the Transformers, beings right out of their dreams.
45. To my understanding, Transformers use Energon as everything from fuel to money. What’s their reaction to the first time they meet a species that uses currency like we do?
46. Crossover with Shadow of the Colossus.
47. People have always been fascinated and obsessed with improving their bodies. Some of these people meet the Autobots, and when they start discussing about altering their bodies to such a degree that they would have very little organic parts left, the bots are apprehensive about such experiments. After months of stalling on part of the Autobots, the people decide to take their quest for improvements to a group who would be more than willing to accommodate their experiments, the Decepticons.
48. The Quintessions weren’t always like they were now. Long ago, Unicron had come upon their planet, and instead of destroying it, he decided to create a race of creatures that would instinctively hate the children of Primus, and when he was done, he erased all evidence of his tampering. What would happen if the Quints suddenly remembered their original roots and how they were manipulated by the dark god?
49. The only thing scarier than Wheeljack and Perceptor working together on a project unsupervised is Wheeljack, Perceptor, Hook and Mixmaster working on a project together unsupervised.
50. When the Ark and Nemesis crashed on Earth and never heard from for 4 million years, everyone on Cybertron assumed they were dead. What must it have been like for the bonded left on their world to think their mates dead to one day suddenly having them back as if nothing happened?
51. Does it really take a spark to truly make a Transformer a living sentient being?
52. Take everyone’s occupation and switch them around. Example; Perceptor is Prime, Optimus is the gun happy weapons specialist, Ironhide is a peace loving tracker, Sunstreaker a friendly, outgoing minibot and Ratchet a shy, introverted communications officer.
53. What is the connection/bond between trine mates anyway? What are the requirements to becomes one, how do you know your fellow trine members, are the three all created at the same time or is it something instinctual?
54. Sunstreaker and Sev from Star Wars: Republic Commando meet.
55. If a drone were to gain enough sentience to be indistinguishable from other Transformers, would they still consider it a drone or a sentient being?
56. With a spark bond, is it possible for it to willingly be broken between ones who no longer wish for the bond connecting them?
57. After suffering betrays of the worst kind, a Transformer decides that it would be easier to live without emotions, shutting off the necessary parts of their CPU in order to live without feeling. Would be really interesting if the mech’s friends couldn’t tell the difference. Prowl, anyone?
58. Movie verse Transformers as techno-organic creatures.
59. After reading about Earth’s history, many Cybertronians are shocked about the multiple mass extinctions that have occurred. And are now worried that they are amidst the next ones with their human friends.
60. Inspired by above bunny. Do creatures on Cybertron ever go extinct, or are they simply fazed out for the newer models?
61. What makes a mech able to carry cassettes in the first place, what makes them so different from others?
62. Water is so rare on Cybertron and the plants in surrounding systems that many Transformers actually believe it to be a mythical substance. Then they land on Earth where over half the planet is covered in the stuff. First they’re fascinated. Then they find out that the majority of it is salt water, and I can see why most would rather go back home. Especially when they find out about our weather patterns, winter in particular, and discover how we deal with ice on the roads. After their first winter, some are probably paranoid about going out on the roads again.
63. Sam has All Spark powers. Sam brings random machines to life. Unfortunately for Sam, this tends to only happen to machines that are best able to protect the new All Spark. Which has led to some massive machines trying to follow him around like guard dogs that also happen to be beyond possessive of their creator. Because it’s one thing when a newly sparked toaster calls him mommy or daddy, but it’s another thing entirely when it’s an air craft carrier.
64. There’s a plot bunny on here somewhere that says the minibots are actually sparklings. My question is, who are the parents to each sparkling?
65. It’s said that Mirage was an excellent hunter of turbo-foxes, so what exactly does he do with the bodies of the animals he kills? Can’t have ALL of them stuffed and mounted and they can’t exactly use them for food like we can (or can they?), so he has to do something with them.
66. Considering the mechs that were reconfigured by Unicron, what happens to any who were spark bonded to these individuals?
It also seems that I like putting the bots in situations where they’re way over their head.
1. Since the Decepticons were made by the Quintessons as the Gladiator class, and the Twins were sparked as gladiators (fanon), does that make them Decepticon by birth?
2. Considering the fact that most of the personality is basically lines of code and programming like in a computer and there are a number of Transformers with severe personality glitches, what exactly would happen if someone went into their CPUs and simply erased those codes?
3. As feared as Sunstreaker is among both factions, what no one realizes is that the truly dangerous one of the two is Sideswipe. Sociopathy vs. Psychopathy.
4. Each faction has their own distinct religions. How exactly do these beliefs affect their actions and the war? Autobots; Sons of Cybertron. Decepticons; The Ultimate Warrior. Mix of both groups; Souls of Cybertron. Unicron worshipers; Bearers of the Void. Evolutionaries; none of the above. We need more fics focusing on them.
5. The All Spark was an extension of Primus’ will. Basically a religious artifact of great importance to the Cybertronain people. So how do they deal with an organic not only becoming the new All Spark but also changing form to essentially become one of them?
6. Crossover Star Wars: Battlefront 2. There’s a full scale battle waging between the Rebels and the Empire on a planet of your choice. (I’d either go with Hoth or Felucia because of the extremes. Maybe Kashyyyk for the OMG giant trees!!!! reaction. Or Mustafar because I want to see their reaction to a planet that is basically a giant smelting pit. Or Endor because the Ewoks would take down the Cons just like the did the AT-STs, and that would be priceless.) The Autobots land and quickly have to take on an alt form before one of the organics notices them and don’t have a whole lot of time to do research on the group they’ve chosen to hide around. It’s not until some dressed in white armor enter them do they have a WTF?! Oh, shi- moment when they finally do some research on the two groups and realize that they’ve just chosen their alt forms for the faction that is basically the organic version of the Decepticons. Or you can have the Cons land and take the alt forms of some Rebel craft.
7. Force sensitive Transformer.
8. Take your OTPs or OT3s and combine them to form OT4s or larger groups. (Why yes it IS inspired by that one absolutely wonderful crack story. A story I hope spawns many, many more fics.)
9. A lightsaber wielding Transformer. Because I really want to see one. Especially if said Transformer has four or more arms.
10. Ravage, before he was a cassette for Soundwave, use to guard Elders. Then he met Megatron and decided his way was the best and joined the Decepticons. Ratbat was a successful and powerful senator, with Soundwave working under him. What about the other cassettes, what were they doing before becoming Soundwave’s cassettes?
11. Considering that Ratbat use to be a high ranking official with Soundwave working for him, with a large powerful body like the other Transformers of the Con army, what must it be like to have such a weak body, his relationship now with Soundwave and has he ever tried to return to the way he was? Or, he did finally succeed in returning to his old body.
12. In G1 the Constructicons made Trypticon out of an existing human city. So, in Movie verse, which city do they choose to build him out of this time? They’d probably each choose a different city and proceed to bicker like spoiled sparklings about why their city of choice is better.
13. Do any of the bots have to take on an alt form that they truly and honestly can’t stand, but they have to take it in order to survive/blend it?
14. A favorite pairing is Ratchet/Megatron. What I’m curious about is how would that pair translate over to the Shattered Glass verse? Megatron as the pet while Ratchet uses him for medical experiments? Or other pairings for that matter, particularly the more rare or crack ones.
15. Remember all those crack sparklings that were popping up on tf2007fun, where people imagined what the sparklings of certain popular pairings would look like and what their personalities would be? Well, what about Animated crack sparklings? Come on, I know you all want to see the spawn of Ratchet and Blitzwing or Starscream and Blurr.
16. Sometime during the course of the movie, human of your choice, rediscovers an ancient talent that has been forgotten by all humans. The art of summoning. Inspired by this absolutely stunning print of Summoner on DevArt.
17. Crossover with Incarnations of Immortality by Piers Anthony. Death, Nature, War, Time, Fate, Good, Evil, all are offices that regular mortals can take so long as they meet certain requirements. There are also the minor offices that work under the main ones like Love, Pestilence, and others. The Transformers realize there’s an even grander war that’s been raging on Earth since the beginning of that planet and they get caught up in it when basically all the humans they’ve worked with becomes one of the Incarnations. Sam-Death, Mikeala-Nature, Lennox-War, Simmons/Keller-Time, Judy/Maggie/Momma Simmons-Fate, ?-Good, ?-Evil.
18. Since a Cybertronian can basically mimic any alt form so long as there is enough detail and information about it, does that mean with books like Dragonology could they turn into mythical creatures?
19. With how long they live, and the fact that no matter how advanced they are there are always limits to how much information machinery can store, does that mean that after they reach a certain age, they have to start erasing memories to make more room? If that’s true how must younglings feel about the prospect of losing some of their first memories? (I know of one fic that only lightly touches on the subject.)
20. Gaia, the goddess of the earth, has been slumbering for millions of years. It’s not until the Transformers come that she awakens because of the imminent threat they pose to her and her children.

Or, everyone finds out that Primus and Unicron isn’t the only god taking on the form of a planet.
21. Lloth, the Spider Queen and Blackarachnia. Because seeing those two interact would be beyond awesome.
22. Do Transformers ever go dumpster diving? Besides Junkions that is, ‘cause they basically live on a giant dumpster.
23. With the cost of rising fuel, how exactly do the Autobots deal with payment? Or the Cons? Barricade could do what many Cops are doing and put a charge on all tickets for fuel. Ratchet could possibly do the same thing. They can and do make converters for many different types of energy into energon, but before they’re able to make those devices or are able to gather enough energy from alternate sources.
24. Cybertronain musical instruments.
25. Considering viruses can cause a complete crash and the fact that Cybertronians are basically super advanced computers in some aspects, what would the punishment be for a ‘former who caused a complete CPU malfunction? How are these criminals, who have no qualms about mucking around in another’s beings mind, treated by Cybertronain society?
26. Tiny Transformers take on beast alt forms. Chickadees, mice, humming bird, house wren etc. Because I want to see a flock of humming bird Transformers take on a Seeker.
27. Cybertronain ghost stories and myths.
28. Animated. Blitzwing was meant to be like Reflector, that of one spark shared between three separate bodies that could combine into one large body. But something went wrong in the development process.

39. The only thing worse than an astro tick or a turbo flea would have to be their version of poison ivy. Can you imagine something that could aggravate all the nanites that the bots are made of to the point that they form these blister like things that ooze to get rid of the irritant/poison from the mechanical plant? Either that or some sort or organic/techno-organic plant that has the same affect as poison ivy and they’ve never had to deal with a medical condition like that. ‘Cause I’ve never had poison ivy in my entire life until a few days ago.

51. Does it really take a spark to truly make a Transformer a living sentient being?
52. Take everyone’s occupation and switch them around. Example; Perceptor is Prime, Optimus is the gun happy weapons specialist, Ironhide is a peace loving tracker, Sunstreaker a friendly, outgoing minibot and Ratchet a shy, introverted communications officer.
53. What is the connection/bond between trine mates anyway? What are the requirements to becomes one, how do you know your fellow trine members, are the three all created at the same time or is it something instinctual?
54. Sunstreaker and Sev from Star Wars: Republic Commando meet.
55. If a drone were to gain enough sentience to be indistinguishable from other Transformers, would they still consider it a drone or a sentient being?
56. With a spark bond, is it possible for it to willingly be broken between ones who no longer wish for the bond connecting them?
57. After suffering betrays of the worst kind, a Transformer decides that it would be easier to live without emotions, shutting off the necessary parts of their CPU in order to live without feeling. Would be really interesting if the mech’s friends couldn’t tell the difference. Prowl, anyone?
58. Movie verse Transformers as techno-organic creatures.
59. After reading about Earth’s history, many Cybertronians are shocked about the multiple mass extinctions that have occurred. And are now worried that they are amidst the next ones with their human friends.
60. Inspired by above bunny. Do creatures on Cybertron ever go extinct, or are they simply fazed out for the newer models?
61. What makes a mech able to carry cassettes in the first place, what makes them so different from others?
62. Water is so rare on Cybertron and the plants in surrounding systems that many Transformers actually believe it to be a mythical substance. Then they land on Earth where over half the planet is covered in the stuff. First they’re fascinated. Then they find out that the majority of it is salt water, and I can see why most would rather go back home. Especially when they find out about our weather patterns, winter in particular, and discover how we deal with ice on the roads. After their first winter, some are probably paranoid about going out on the roads again.
63. Sam has All Spark powers. Sam brings random machines to life. Unfortunately for Sam, this tends to only happen to machines that are best able to protect the new All Spark. Which has led to some massive machines trying to follow him around like guard dogs that also happen to be beyond possessive of their creator. Because it’s one thing when a newly sparked toaster calls him mommy or daddy, but it’s another thing entirely when it’s an air craft carrier.
64. There’s a plot bunny on here somewhere that says the minibots are actually sparklings. My question is, who are the parents to each sparkling?
65. It’s said that Mirage was an excellent hunter of turbo-foxes, so what exactly does he do with the bodies of the animals he kills? Can’t have ALL of them stuffed and mounted and they can’t exactly use them for food like we can (or can they?), so he has to do something with them.
66. Considering the mechs that were reconfigured by Unicron, what happens to any who were spark bonded to these individuals?
