A new batch of Bunnies! FREE TO A GOOD HOME!

[rose0mary]

Right now I have a full hatch of bunnies to take care of.
Can't handle all these too.

(any continuity)

1. You know the ol’ saying that ‘Seekers make great sparkling protectors’?  It’s a lie.  Propaganda spread by the … (Decepticon of your choice)

1. 
   
   1. The ‘protective Seeker’ stereotype was made popular by the long defunct Autobot council, in a misguided effort to promote the hiring of flyers as teachers and educators.  It didn’t work - too many frazzled Seekers confined to small (land-bound) areas, dealing with hordes of simpleminded drone-like newsparks, just … violently exploded, giving birth to the lie that all Seekers and flying types are vicious savages, having only thoughts for war and destruction.  (On the other hand, those seekers that managed to land a job teaching one or two noble offspring at a time had it made - lots of room, plenty of flying space, one or two older students interested in learning/exploring)
   2. The misunderstanding that Flyers make great baby sitters?  … well, Prowl is from Praxia, which is a sister-city to Vos, and has doorwings.  And Prowl does so well with sparklings like Bumblebee, Bluestreak, Fireflight and Perceptor, that it is assumed by his colleagues that dealing with sparklings and new-sparks was a common occupation in Praxis; thus, Vosian Seekers, must have the same programming abilities.

1. ART.  Prowl, with a twitching eyebrow as yet another sparkling is dumped on his lap.

1. ART.  Unicron  laying on a physiatrist couch, talking about how positively mean his brother was to him when they were little mechs.

1. Red Alert: The secret Decpticon Spy!  (the only Decpeticon spy - working hard to make sure no one else can also pass along vital information ... or be used to vertify the accuracy of HIS intelligence.
2. Breakdown - captured by humans, he's willing to spill secrets just to stay alive.
3. Unicron decides its time to wake up ... trouble is, the mechs inhabiting his frame have forgotten he was sleeping/that they've colonized a planet-sized mech and are trying desperatly to stop the earthquakes as Unicron moves from recharge (stasis? offline status) to online..

1. It’s not Primus that makes up Cybertron’s core - It’s Unicron.  And he’s not happy after waking from stasis and finding his frame covered with mechs and their cities.

1. ____________ can’t tell the difference between the real world and computer games/programs.
2. ------------- has trouble refocusing on the outside world after spending all day filling out paperwork
3. "The good medics never get used to it.  The surviving medics simply grow numb to the horror".
4. Ratchet is being stalked - he’s using work as a shield against his stalker.  No, it’s not the twins.
5. The twins - Sideswipe and Sunstreaker - know Ratchet is being targeted outside work, but don’t know who’s got his optics on the medic.

(Generation 1)

1. Frenzy watches what happens when hungry sharks smell blood in the water.

OR (feeding frenzy) OR:

1. No one else has figured out how Soundwave manages to get his cassette twins to eat without dinner turning into a food-fight.

1. Spike and Sparkplug are not human.  They are pretenders!  (small Cybertronians able to take on physical appearance of natives), woke up years [decades?] prior to the rest of the Ark’s crew onlining.

1. The Kremzeek attack had more lasting changes than anyone knew.
   
   
   1. Before the Kramzeek took up residence in Blaster’s chest compartments, the Autobots didn’t have a Deck  Holder.  Now, Blaster has to deal with four cassettes who don’t know a thing about the war … or Cybertron.
2. Jazz is a telepath (similar to Soundwave)

1. Sunstorm and Sandstorm are brothers!

1. Seekers, once old/mature enough, are natural triple-changers.  (why else would canon triple-changers have a flight mode, in addition to a ground mode?).  If they access their third (extra) alternate form too soon, it creates mental and psychological problems.  Sometimes, even processor glitches.
   
   
   1. With time, the mental block/short-circuit will heal and the too-young T.C. becomes emotionally stable once again.
   2. After picking their third frame/alt mode, some Triple-changers change their name.  Some keep the old designation.

1. And, typing the above one, I just gave myself another bunny: ThunderCracker is a Triple-Changer in disguise!  (no one, not even Starscream, and certainly not Skywarp, knows he has another form).

1. After being kicked out of the Decepticon Army, Blitzwing transforms into Octane … after adopting Rodimus’ offer of joining the Autobots.  (the Autobots were once known for the Cybertronian version of Witness Protection, complete with new identities, backgrounds, and surgery to change even the frame and paintjob).  Blitzwing, now Octane goes back to the Cons to contact other deep-cover agents who might want to return to their native forms and almost-forgotten past lives.

1. Trypticon is a (dark gray/black) dinosaur-like city mech. Grimlock’s team are all Dino-bots, (who are also grayish in color) ….
   
   
   1. Trypticon is Grimlock’s massive, but much younger brother!

OR

1. Trypticon is the Dinobots’ Gestalt mind/combined form!

1. After rereading random (archived, never adopted to my knowledge) bunnies, here’s a mixmash of one:  HOUND is a CASSETTE !  (or was)
   
   
   1. Before his upgrade to a full-sized frame, he was a cybertronian dog/wolf/canine - the only one Soundwave had to give up after creating/finding.
   2. Why did his first host abandon him?  Because Ravage hates canines, and it was either let another Cassette holder adopt/take care of Hound, or loose his youngest to premature deactivation.
      
      
      1. I see Blaster being the one to adopt Hound and raise him to be a ‘proper’ Cybertronian mech … which goes a long way towards explaining Blaster’s revulsion towards Soundwave.  He can’t believe any good Cassette host would willing let a stranger adopt a cassette without checking adoptee’s background.

1. When deciding who should lead the  various factions, , the Decepticons chose a rather unique method … Roshambo. … rock-paper-scissors, or the Cybertronian equivalent.  (Thumb Wrestling/pea-knuckle war) might also be a contester).
   
   
   1. Starscream‘s constant mutiny and declaration that HE is the Supreme Leader of the Decepticions is because he can’t believe he lost the Rochambesu game (or that BOTH Shockwave and Soundwave beat him three times).
   2. Meanwhile, instead of fighting it out, (as they constantly envisioned their more war-like counterparts doing), the Autobots chose instead to hold elections, and/or did a popularity contest. Optimus Prime winning the contest shocked pretty much everyone.

1. (Not strictly G1 … could fuse with Prime) … Tracks disappeared from the Autobot side and reappeared on the Decepticon side … as Knock-out!

1. Megatron’s not the leader of the Decepticons.  Laserbeak is!  (the mech who’s shoulder Laserbeak stands on is the bird cassette’s mouthpiece).

1. Soundwave is nothing, NOTHING, without his cassettes.   (In five-faces-of-darkness, Soundwave is just one of dozens, if not hundreds of forsaken Decepticons scrambling and fighting for every drop of energon).

1. The ‘War’ that destroyed Cybertron … isn’t a war.  More of a backyard squabble between the two major (world-wide) gangs that want to influence and control the real leaders of Cybertron - Autobot Senate and Counsel.
2. Neutrals typically belong to smaller/less well known gangs that don’t have the power or member-size to be considered a threat to the real players.

1. The ‘War’ that ruined Cybertron … didn’t destroy Cybertron.  The empty cities, the rusting roads, the battle scars that liberally decorate the landscape are all parts of an extreme camouflage measure to hide the neutrals, femmes, younglings, and non-fighters from the warring factions trying to control the universe.
   
   
   1. (the ‘scientists’ in the Autobot Army, failed to escape in time, and may or may not be actively looking for ways to keep others from ‘the draft’.  The ‘Constructicons’ in the Decepticon Army may or may not be helping others avoid being conscripted.)
   2. Neadless to say, it takes huge amounts of fuel to keep everyone alive … even if the majority are in stasis and don’t need ornly energon.

1. Another bunny picked up by browsing old, old posts … Maybe I should stop looking at the posts most people appear to have forgotten about. …  Senator Ratbat has an unknown altomode/second mech form - that of Ratbat the Cassette  ... think of Punch/Counterpunch, or like Shockwave/Lockdown Prime in Animated, maybe even TF PRIME's Makeshift shapeshifter who can imitate any mech.

1. Energon made from earth-resources is not only more unstable than other sources … it also burns hotter, giving Cybertron a much higher chance of burning their internals/catching on fire.  (and is lower in energy content, meaning everyone refueling on earth Energon needs double or triple the amount just to stay alive).
   
   
   1. With materials from Cybertron running low, earth metals are used for many repairs.  At first, no problems arise.  Then, (orns, vorns, writer’s choice of time period) later, it is discovered that Transformers with a significant amount of earth metals (read: +¼ or plus 25%), are at a much higher risk of catching on fire/burning on the inside.  Why?  Earth materials can’t conduct the energy as well, and start melting at a much lower temperature.

I know I've adopted a few bunnies from others, but for the life of me, I have dropped them - can anyone point me to the posts and/or authors that I've promised to write a drabble, fic, or something for?
 (I suppose I could go back and reread comments, but am afraid of picking up hordes of bunnies that somehow missed me before)
