44 bunnies
1. Due to their mass shifting capacity, mechs like Perceptor, Blaster and Soundwave can change their size in root mode.
2. Bluestreak is a decepticon infiltrator.
3. In a noisy room, someone new mishears designation as destination.
4. More Papa Soundwave Bunnies. Soundwave realizes that Spike is an adolescent, and grows increasingly uncomfortable with the idea of killing someone very much like his cassettes.
5. Without You (lyrics)from Rent. Video is here.
6. Cross-species romances are…interesting, but generally follow the format of young(ish) female human and young-to-middling male autobot. Human is rescued/hired/otherwise introduced, and ‘true love’ ensues. What about the old mechs? They deserve love too. Or a romance at the end of life, where the human lover is old and grey, and the transformer is still young. Or generational love affairs, where the descendents of one particular human all end up involved with the same mech. Or same-sex pairings, with a human who grew up before the gay rights movement. Job related affairs, like Red Alert and some human ‘Independent Contractor’. Or just plain affairs, with the mech cheating on their partner with a human. Decepticon-human pairings, where the human is aware and frightened of their lover’s allegiance (Thundercracker and a pilot?).
7. A human from a mirrorverse ends up in the regular universe, and finds it harder to adjust to good autobots then evil decepticons. Bonus points if they never met members of either side before they crossed over.
8. Like most imperfect cybertronians, Red Alert and Jazz joined the decepticons.
9. The decepticon needed more troops. The autobots had a sparkling. Starscream adds two and two together and comes up with the obvious answer. (inspired by sparkling!Bumblebee, and the image of a half grown Seeker!Bee)
10. Prowl: New Rule. When any human object begins to glow and shake violently, you will back away slowly, and for the love of Primus, you are not to touch it!
11.Art Bunny, Inspired by the jibjab song This Land with Charr/Galvatron and Cybertron/Rodimus
12.(Counter)Punch: To be or not to be, that is the question…
13. Someone downloads every human language documented. Now he’s having trouble keeping them straight.
14. Rumble learns why you don’t piss off single parents. The autobots find more reasons to respect their human allies. Sparkplug discovers another use for a shovel.
15. Starscream, leader of the Decepticon army, has the intense desire to go back in time and strangle his younger self for getting him stuck with this job.
16. What if the autobot didn’t realize the humans were sentient?
17.?: He had a little understated goal called ‘ruling the universe’.
18. Someone carries blades made out of the metal from their enemies’ sparkcasing.
19. (Inspired by the magnet scene in Wall-e)
Optimus:*snickering* It’s rather hard to take you seriously from that position, brother…
Megatron: Shut up and get me down!
20. Cybertronian Femmes? Meet Feminism. Play nice now.
(Because no matter what your belief is about their role in Cybertronian society, this is going to be an interesting conversation.)
21. If you found out your creator was reprogrammed, what would you do? Side with the faction you’ve been raised in, or the one who raised you?
22. Perceptor: Most of the things I make are theoretically impossible, of course, but the trick is not letting those theories notice what you’re doing.
23. The Robo-Smasher was originally created by an autobot.
24. Utter Crack. The constructicons undo their reprogramming-because it interferes with their work. Now they’re angry at both sides and forming a third faction of ‘frag this, let’s invade Velocitron and rebuild there’. It’s surprisingly popular.
25. Human scientists begin to wonder what they could use energon for.
26. In an effort to improve the attitudes some of his crew hold towards humans, Prime arranges for a conference where the Autobots are introduced to humans with similar jobs, interests, or personalities as them. Much to everyone’s shock, amusement, and horror, the more unstable and unpredictable autobots latch on to their counterparts.
27. The minibots are much more sympathetic to humans then their full-scale counterparts, because most of the arguments against helping the humans were once used against the minibots.
28. Spike is a Selkie, like his mother, who left them and returned to the sea. When the Decepticons settle into their underwater base, she notices.
29.?:Let’s end the world on a high note, ok?
30. Perceptor misinterprets the story of the Garden of Eden. (Come on, fruit from the Tree of Knowledge? You expect a scientist to find this a bad thing?)
31. Dead End gets therapy.
32.?: This requires a subtle blend of diplomacy and extreme violence.
33. Airwolf Crossover. Blades falls in love with a sweet young femme named Airwolf.
(“Are you insane? She has enough firepower to take over a third world nation!”)
34. The Negative Confessions. Some decepticons takes them as a challenge.
35. Mirrorverse humans- Carly and Spike survived five years in captivity by the autobots before they were rescued by the decepticons. Fiercely loyal to their new cause, the two young humans quickly find a place within the Decepticon army.
36. Names affect perception. (“We’re not minibots! You’re oversized!)
37. In a cell, located in a decepticon base back on Cybertron, two scientists named Perceptor and Wheeljack plot their escape.
38. “An eye for an eye and the whole world will go blind.” Unfortunately, cybertronian optics are replaceable.
39. Mirage lives in towers, in a grand apartment near a shining mercury river. He never wants for energon, has armor made for style instead of defense. This is his world, the only world he’s ever known. Why then, does he remember the proper angle for a headshot with a rifle or how to stave off hunger pains?
40. Academy ‘bots are looked at a bit strangely for wanting to learn things instead of simply downloading them.
41. By certain twisted decepticon standards, the humans could be considered quite beautiful.
42. Shockwave created Perceptor.
43.?:Oh look, Wheeljack’s got another convert to the Church of Blowing Shit Up.
44.The introduction of Sunstreaker the artist(“Call me Sunny”), to the autobot army was traumatizing for everyone involved.
