A fic? Or an article?
Maybe this sort of thing has happened to Percy and Skyfire before?
It always happens. Fortunately, usually not in public.
That is... a very interesting idea, considering the fact that Megatron is one of those Cybertronians who looks and sounds pretty old.
Maybe Starscream tries so hard to overthrow Megatron because he knows the truth and doesn't want the greatest Decepticon who ever lived to be remembered as a foolish, forgetful old man?
*grin* And one day he'll be so self-conscious that he'll blurt out some silly pet name by mistake.
*WANTS TO SEE*
Reminds me of a bunny I posted a while back about Frenzy + Rumble = Fumble and Rewind + Eject = Reject.
I remember that one!
You know, I never realized it before, but Optimus (& Megatron too I suppose) is really tormented by this comm almost as much as Perceptor. Because whenever we give Perceptor emotional problems or make him a mass murderer or something, Optimus indirectly has to deal with it on top of everything we do to all the other Autobots.
... You're right! I hadn't noticed!
Cassettes as bunnies! :D
That'd make a cute picture!
And I'd love to read something where the Cassettes actually use their alt-modes for something besides recording stuff for Soundwave.
Like actually play music? *is shocked*

Actually, I think it was a book, but I went and checked the book because it was bothering me so much and I couldn't find the quote. *is sad*

...Oooh. Maybe Megatron ordered him to do that for the same reason. Wait - Starscream's null rays are destructive but not fatal, right? Was he equipped with them so he could pretend to 'kill' Megatron while actually saving him?

So, if their alt-modes are cassettes, will high temperatures make their tape melt? *wince*

That happens to me all the time. I try to write down quotes that interest me but I sometimes forget to write down where I heard it.

That's a good explanation for them. I always wondered why he had them. They seem such an Autobot type of weapon.

Blaster and Soundwave: *realize they're out in the hot sun* *panic and start gathering up the Cassettes*
Cassettes: *annoyed sighs*
Everyone else: *stop fighting and watch in confusion*

Yup, that's it in a nutshell. It's a real pain, especially when you're writing a paper and need to cite everything.

I believe I read a theory once that he stole them from Wheeljack's lab, believing them to be some sort of superweapon, and when he found out what they really did he just kept them anyway - maybe out of embarrassment.

And you'd think this would happen fairly often, what with the Ark being in the middle of the desert and all. I wonder how the cassettes survived being in a metal ship in the desert for all the time they were offline? Would Soundwave and Blaster have backup climate controls in their chests that keep working even if they're offline?

That sounds familiar. I must have read it too. Sadly, I can't remember what fic it was.

Hmmm. Possible. Though I think, if their systems were online enough to maintain climate control, then wouldn't it take longer for them to heal? Everyone else, all their power was going to their self-repair systems. That might explain why it took so long for Blaster to show up, but what about Soundwave?

Neither can I. Ah well, at least it's one you're read so you don't really have to go look for it.

Well, I'd think the tape decks would have extra energy stored specifically for the cassettes' optimal health and comfort. Soundwave, being a 'Con, would insist on extra rations for his family's benefit even if it meant starving other 'Cons; on the other hand, Blaster would freely admit that the entire amount of excess energy wasn't strictly necessary for survival and would forgo part of his extra ration for the benefit of the cause.
