I was inspired, it seems
All right. I made the mistake of reading the other bunny-posts. I fail at self control and the bunnies have multiplied- this requires immediate evacuation of the brain-space since it is now needed for school.
And here they be.
1. The Constructicons weren't created together; if you follow the belief that the other gestalts were [created together] then what does that make the Constructicons in their optics? Would they even consider the Constructicons a real combiner team?
2. First Aid's the only official tech (medic) 'youngling' on Earth. And already an apprentice to boot. By Cybertronian law this means that all other techs are required to service in his training and protection so as to not deny the youngling any chance of furthering his knowledge in his function. (A well oiled and cared for cog takes precedence over one that is slightly rusty, particularly in a machine-based world.) Usually this would mean First Aid would be required to study only under a medi-bot, but since times are hard and he's the only one...he's required to learn from them all. This would not be a problem (seeing as Wheeljack, Perceptor, Grapple and them have already taken an interest in Aid) if this 'law' didn't also included the Decepticons.
a. The Constructicons hate the idea but are compelled to follow through with it anyway because of their basic programming instincts.
b. The Constructicons love the idea. (For much the same reasons as above, maybe.)
c. The Constructicons don't want to give First Aid back once the required time is up. (Certain someones probably would not be overly thrilled with this.)
3. "Madness? This. Is. Earth!"
4. They've been cut off from the real world and real feelings for a long, long time. The Decepticons realize a little too late that this probably effected them a little bit more than they had originally thought. (They have the mentality of two year olds, too self-centered, too awe-filled, to realize that anyone else even has feelings, let alone that they can be hurt.) Well...the Combaticons are war machines. This would probably extend to more than just feelings.
5. Fireflight was originally created deprived of his sense of hearing and touch. He had to use his brothers and their connection to 'hear' and 'feel'. Eventually he gained the use of his senses, but his dependance on his sight has never really gone away.
6. Fireflight's the space-case of the Aerials. A well-known fact among the Autobots (and Decepticons who would like to avoid being ran into, thank you very much). But what people don't realize is that Skydive's much the same, if not worse. Instead of becoming distracted he becomes focused, to the point of literally blocking out the entire world.
"Trust me, We've test-...oh all right. I've tested it. So believe me; Skydive ain't putting that book down until he's good and ready to put that book down. You can try dropping a boulder on him if you really want.
"Why're you giving me that look? What do you think I used to test it with? A stick?"
7. "My name is Orion, and once I was God."
8. Megatron knows that Optimus isn't Cybertronian; that's why he started the war in the first place. Optimus is stronger than all of them (outside of his Cybertronian form) and, originally, Megatron had feared for the safety of Cybertron if Optimus has stayed.
a. Optimus has no idea he actually isn't Cybertronian.
b. Megatron was insane to start with. Delusional. It only got worse as the war continued.
c. Optimus is lying; he knows he isn' Cybertronian, he knows why Megatron started the war. He had no intention of hurting Cybertron, though, in fact, he was there to 'better' it. In his own image. And that means that...well...some things just had to go, right?
10. Silverbolt and Hot Spot become slightly protective of the Technobots. The Technobots have varying reactions to this.
