Yeah, I'm not certain how this came about, but if anyone wants it I'll even put a bow on it for you. Also the FF13 aspect is kinda just a loosely stolen idea for it.
Premesis: During a battle before the Allspark was found a small group of both autobots and decepticons suddenly goes missing. Autobots and some Decepticons attempted to find the lost comrades only never to succeed. Millions of years later when the war has left the dying Cybertron and has begun to settle around Earth, the lost soldiers reappear just as some of the humans who have formed a close bond with the Autobots start to experience things they’ve never experienced before in their dreams and waking visions. The only thing in common at first with the group of Autobots and Decepticons with these humans is a strange symbol glowing upon their bodies/frames. Soon though, the similarities become more so as the Cybertronians with this symbol suddenly put forth the plans for a new model type, that is much like the Pretenders, only instead of just mimicking humanity the model attempts to be as much like humanity as possible while still retaining Cybertronian heritage. A pure techno organic model.
This sudden need and the abilities these marked ones start to display create a mystery that even they do not know how to unravel as they try and find out answers they may not want.
Quotes inspired by the idea:
-You want to know what it was we saw. Well we don’t know what it is we saw, okay.
-How is it I knew about humans before I had ever seen a human?
-Those sort of frame modifications are irreversible, once your systems become accustom to a partially organic hardware protocol going back to a purely mechanical one is impossible. You’re giving up your frame for good if you go through with it.
-We need answers and this is the only way we’re going to get them…all of us on that mission off lined at the exact same time for no reason, and when we woke up that glyph was on all of us. Not in the same place, but that’s the least of the worries right now.
-I’ll give you autobots this much, you at least know how to modify frames, even if it’s supposed to be partially squishie.
-I didn’t program that into the frame…flight capability is supposed to be a slow upgrade due to the organic nature of some of the systems.
-Cybertron is dead, even without the war it would have died. We stripped it of resources, and sooner or later we would have found another species out there in our colonization and resource gathering that would not be friendly and have the force to keep us out. So maybe, this entire thing is a way to not only help out humanity, but ourselves as well. Because, lets face it, earth wasn’t going to be able to support humanity that much longer, let alone with us becoming neighbors.
-That’s why you came right? You can see it too. Mommy and Daddy can’t see it, but you can and some of your robot friends.
-If you think of it in energy input and output then this odd ability that these humans and now some of our own are exhibiting makes more sense. The real question in all of this is the origin of that symbol and how it is converting energy around them into these acts of power.
-I’m starting to gain a new appreciation of humans and whenever we manage to get back to the base, I’m going to use my officer status to make some autobots offer more rides to the humans.
-There are these words, words that no human language or our own have, and yet they keep echoing in my cpu during defragmenting.
-I did it because the mechanical lady asked me to. No, not one of them, the one that follows Sam around and Sam even helped me.
-Pardon me if I’m not exactly thrilled and welcoming this with open arms, considering some of you were trying to kill me a couple of weeks ago when you were still giant alien robots, and not pulling a Terminator here with the whole human look.
-You know everyone keeps avoiding using the word, us humans because we try and stop believing in such as we grow up; and you guys because you never had words for such things before us. Well until a new word and explanation pops up I’m just going to call it like I see it…it’s magic.
-You got to admit it at least makes being a squishie of sorts with a spark a bit better balanced in a fight. I don’t think Megatron expected a little human or one us techno organics to blast him with fire that came out of thin air.
