Gestalt Bunnies
I have a one big (or a few if you split it) bunny for you today...
This entire thing started with a discussion about bonding in transformers. What if instead of just the basic spark bonding, they had two types of "marriage bonds?" Spark and System bonds?
My friend defined System bonds as the following:
“something like two computers on an open wireless network. Where you can be on one computer and reach out and get into the other one as well. Free access to each other's systems. With the addition of a sort of permanent open comm.
Each member could put up certain barriers if they didn't want to share /everything/, but the other would know the barriers exist. More ... mind to mind rather than soul to soul?”
Of course we discussed that while to us Spark bonds would be more intimate, the transformers would have disagreements about which type of "marriage" was more intimate...
Now on to the actually bunny that has been biting me!
What if the gestalt bond was actually an altered form of marriage bond? e.i. They have limited access to each other to connect and work the physical aspects of walking/moving/smashing/etc and know where the others are or have an idea what they are doing but not to the extent of a full System bond
-That would limit them to Spark bonding with outsiders, but even then there could be feedback...
This leads me to the conclusion that gestalts try and keep it in the gestalt because outside relationships just never seem to work out...
I don't know if that ramble makes much sense, but if I try to work it out any more I will end up writing it myself and I already have too many things I am working on.... ><;

- Do the Gestalts know? They are very young after all, and if they do learn they are technically married in the eyes of Cybertronian law, how do they react?
- What if they took the fact they are 'married' seriously, and how would this effect their other relationships.
- Also, I could totally see how gestalts that have worked together for a long time become so comfortable and close that they deepen their bond to a full marriage bond or even add a spark bond.
- What if one member of the gestalt wanted to bond with a non-gestalt mech
