Follow the cute bunny tails.
And for once I'm actually remembering to add tags.
Ten quotes for TF plot Bunnies
1. There is nothing that war has ever achieved that we could not better achieve without it.
- Henry Ellis
A small faction of Neutrals try to establish a quiet corner of Cybertron away from the fighting, to teach non-violence. This small school is found by the Decepticons who wish to obliterate them and their ideals of Peace.
2.Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.
- William Penn
A close friend falls in battle and his buddy realises too late that they never told him how much their friendship meant. Too busy fighting the war to see time slip away until it was too late.
3. Inventor: A person who makes an ingenious arrangement of wheels, levers and springs, and believes it civilization.
- Ambrose Bierce
Wheeljack lost himself in yet another invention. His greatest one to date, it can change the whole war!
At least he thought so until as usual it backfired on him. What was supposed to be a 'insert own idea', erodes cybertronian technology instead.
4. The more sand that has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.
- Jean Paul
Something is wrong with the Matrix. It is leaking it's accumilative knowledge and that has to go somewhere. One Transformer has opened pandora's box and cannot shut it. Now as that knowledge consumes them it begins to tear their mind apart with all that information. There is nothing worse then an Insane God.
5. A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist.
- Stewart Alsop
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.
- Mark Twain
Starscream is detremined to gain leadership of the decepticons, he is even willing to discard friends along the way, even his trine. Thundercracker and Skywarp are abandonded in the heat of battle, presumed dead. Starscream didn't care, they were not beside him in wanting to defeat Megatron. But his conscience refuses to remain quiet as all around him others don't care and it is then he discovers that although not wanting to fight beside him for leadership the two were still his friends, his only ones. But is it too late?
7. There can be no equality or opportunity if men and women and children be not shielded in their lives from the consequences of great industrial and social processes which they cannot alter, control, or singly cope with.
- Woodrow Wilson
Soundwave came part and parecl with his cassettes, his children. So when he joined Megatron they joined too. Soundwave watches over millenia as they become different as the war and the decepticon cause alters the way they see and think. The bullying of the other 'con's doesn't help either. Soundwave finds himself in choosing, to continue to follow Megatron and watch his children fall apart before his very optics. Or breakaway. Will the cassettes even choose to leave with him if he does?
8. All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward.
- Ellen Glasgow
It's always one step forward and two steps back for Sunstreaker an getting along with his fellow Autobots. But when two of those backward steps are huge Sunstreaker finds himself cut-off from feeling any compaderie to or from others. What will it take to mend those broken bridges?
9. Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
- Plato
Jazz and Blaster are the only bots to truly appreciate music. To everyone else it's just static noise. The two decide it's time for a little ed-u-ca-tion.
10. People who lean on logic and philosophy and rational exposition end by starving the best part of the mind.
- William Butler Yeats
Hound and Bumblebee try to teach Perceptor and Prowl about the wonders of the simple pleasures of Earth. With mixed results.
Deadend ruminates on Death, telling everyone about it. Going on and on... Tired of his prattling one of the Decepticons decides to give the fatalist his wish. Deadend facing death headon finds he too in the end tries to resist.
