Sixty-three this time.
1. Do Cybertronians itch?
2. Teletraan-1 and the Decepticon base computer have a chat.
3. Skywarp’s warping ability is transferable. However, if he gives it to someone else, then his own ability will change to a different talent, or worse, a glitch. But Megatron doesn’t really care.
4. Skywarp is a sorcerer.
5. What was Skywarp’s life like before he could warp?
6. I’ve heard that in French versions of Transformers G1, Starscream had a female voice actor. The latest episodes of TF Animated have been similarly inspirational. What would the Decepticons be like if all Seekers were femmes?
7. What if Devastator was one mech and Omega Supreme was a gestalt?
8. The first Cybertronian fashion trend to be influenced by Earth.
9. Some crazy Bot decides that humans are accessories and should dress accordingly.
10. It’s Halloween. A group of Bots heads over to the Nemesis. A group of Cons heads over to the Ark.
11. Prophecies.
12. A ‘Road to El Dorado’-style adventure. Cross-faction if possible.
13. Optimus and Megatron play some sort of game and bet their soldiers.
Optimus: This round… hmm… Skyfire. He whines about doing transport duty, but he refuses to fight. Maybe a little Decepticon discipline would knock some sense into him.
Megatron: *ponders* Soundwave’s got too many cassettes for me to keep track of. He probably wouldn’t notice if one went missing… I’ll bet Buzzsaw. Laserbeak can do everything he does anyway.
14. Someone (or several someones) has a brief and confusing encounter with Katamari Damaci.
15. Starscream wants a pet.
16. The decor is criticized.
17. Decepticons write fanfic about Autobots and vice-versa.
18. Someone finds and explores the TF Bunny Farm.
19a. How long would it take for the Autobots to obtain certain specialized parts if certain ‘Bots were careless enough to lose them? One of Optimus’ antennae thingies breaks off and Ratchet doesn’t have spares, so he goes around looking lopsided for a while. Everyone notices.
19b. Battle masks aren’t really practical. I mean, if Megatron fusion-cannons you in the face, is a flimsy piece of metal really going to help? Naturally, neither side would have a plentiful stock of them if they’re not particularly useful. What would happen if Soundwave and Optimus misplace or terminally damage their masks?
20. Thestrals. (Are there any Bots or Cons who actually haven’t *seen* someone offline?)
21. “I wish everyone was loved tonight / and somehow stop this endless fight / just a chance that maybe we'll find better days.” ~Better Days, Goo Goo Dolls
22. What would the Autobots do if they broke into a previously-sealed off area of the Ark and discovered Decepticons who were still in stasis?
23. Give every Bot/Con (or your favorite group) a random phobia.
24. Is there a list of human movies/books/cultural phenomena that Decepticons are not allowed to view?
25. What would an obnoxious human official have to do to severely offend Prime? (Bonus points if you give Simmons a break and make it someone else who’s being a jerk.)
26. Does Starscream get any chance to practice science as a Decepticon? Who’s officially in charge of the Decepticons’ scientific operations?
27. A small piece of the Giant Purple Griffin’s central computer survived. It was brought back for the Autobot Geek Squad (term coined by the wonderful authors of the Communique Tribute) to play with. Wheeljack built a Smaller Purple Griffin and copied the programming into it. The Geek Squad then tried to edit the programming, but something went wrong and the experiment escaped. Now, Megatron is constantly plagued by a reminder of one of his stupider ideas, and he can’t figure out why the Smaller Purple Griffin keeps following him around. Starscream, of course, can’t stop laughing, and a few ‘Cons are starting to get attached to the little thing.
28. A giant trampoline.
29. A giant waterslide.
30. Cross-faction pen pals.
31. Ravage smuggles a litter of puppies into Soundwave’s chest compartment.
32. Ratchet and Hook trade tips on taking care of ungrateful patients.
33. Someone’s name has an entirely different meaning/symbolism then is generally believed.
34. Cybertronian equivalent of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
35. Hate is impatient; hate is unkind; hate is envious and boastful and arrogant and rude. It insists on its own way; it is irritable and resentful; it rejoices in wrongdoing, but not in the truth. It bears nothing, believes nothing, hopes nothing, endures nothing. ~inversion of a Bible quote
36. Sick of crying, tired of trying, yes I'm smiling, but inside I'm dying. ~Unknown
37. Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. ~Ambrose Redmoon
38. A wise man gets more use from his enemies than a fool from his friends. ~Baltasar Gracian
39. Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together. ~Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
40. Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there. ~Will Rogers
41. Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much. ~Oscar Wilde
42. Laughing at our mistakes can lengthen our own life. Laughing at someone else’s can shorten it. ~Cullen Hightower
43. An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn’t take his education too seriously. ~Charles F. Kettering
44. The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. ~Ellen Parr
45. Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence. ~Napoleon (Someone frame this and put it on the wall of the Decepticon Base!)
46. Sometimes even to live is an act of courage. ~Seneca
47. In the beginning there was nothing, and it exploded. ~Terry Pratchet
48. The price of getting what you want is getting what you once wanted. ~Neil Gaiman
49. ““I'll come to you tonight, dear, when it's late,
You will not see me; you may feel a chill.
I'll wait until you sleep, then take my fill,
And that will be your future on a plate.
They'll call it chance, or luck, or call it Fate.” ~Neil Gaiman
50. Canon meets extreme fanon. Brutally.
51. The ‘Cons recover the ‘trophies’ that certain ‘Bots have collected.
52. Megatron has to explain something to a deluded & misguided Prime.
53. How flexible are the Seekers’ wings? Can they twitch and flap them like Datsun doorwings?
54. Get Dead End really hyper and happy about something.
55. Storytime!
56. Starscream stops talking. Everyone is instantly suspicious.
57. It takes a certain kind of programming to be able to visualize constellations.
58. Checklists.
59. Better late than never.
60. EVERY recharge berth in the Ark & Nemesis is in the form of a bunk bed (one berth fixed over the other), and there’s not enough berths for anyone to have a room of their own. Also, only one bunk bed per room - so at least one member of all gestalts (except the Constructies) will have to share with a non-gestalt member. See how many you can reasonably pair up! (It’s like Go Fish!)
61. When they first land on or see Earth, Skyfire or Starscream has a vision where they see the future of the Cybertronian race depending on Earth. It wouldn’t make sense because to them this is just some backwater uninhabited organic planet. Or maybe Skyfire and Starscream could both have a premonition, but they don’t admit it to each other because it would just sound crazy, and millions of years later they realize what the premonition meant but it’s too late to share the revelation with each other.
62. A fic that has someone crying but doesn’t involve ridiculous amounts of angst.
63. Pick at least four or five bunnies - the less related, the better - from anyone’s posts here and combine them into an uber-monster-Easter-basket-of-doom. Bonus points if the end result is so twisted you have to start the fic off with an apology.
