The cosmology I made up for my personal canon has that the Matrix is a piece of Primus's inner spark, deposited in a piece of super-dense energon. I can't help but imagine what whould happen if Optimus suddenly found that the Matrix is working the way it was originally intended - he can talk directly to Primus. (The reason it doesn't work that way usually is because the memories of all the Primes who have carried it have been downloaded into it over the aeons, confusing and muffling the link it was intended to be.)
6. The cassettes as accessories. Mech-shaped, feline-shaped, and flying cassettes go in and out of style, so Soundwave and Blaster have multiple types (and colors) on hand.
I wonder what the Cassettes feel about being fashion accessories?
9. Most of the Seekers had never seen clouds before - Cybertron hadn’t really had any. Starscream, however, remembered them from the last time he’d been to this planet. As the others investigate (read: play), he can’t bring himself to do anything more ( ... )

A. Bonecrusher is delighted to find someone else who appreciates the fine art and skill required for demolition. A fragile little human on that job has to be even more careful than a Cybertronian would.
I once heard that demolition work is so precise that a good explosives expert can work out the explosion right down to the pound of material moved (this was in relation to an earth-moving explosions expert).
C. Hook is impressed by the considerable precision with which humans plan their architechture. Sparkplug warily gives him a list of the most impressively designed human structures in history to visit if he ever gets any free time.One of them should be the Sydney Harbour Bridge. That thing is massively over-engineered, and I have heard it is designed so that the two halves lean ( ... )

Ooh! Usually if I'm thinking about Autobot-Decepticon parallels between individual mechs, I put Wheeljack in the equivalent mental slot as Mixmaster. I never thought about the fact that Bonecrusher would probably work with a lot of explosives... and that would leave Mixmaster to be the 'Con equivalent of Perceptor! *contemplates shifting personal canon*
One of them should be the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
*goes to google-image* Oooh.. For sure! Hook will love it for maybe a whole minute before he starts nitpicking.

Can you imagine these two being set loose in a room together? Without supervision? Can you imagine what they'd make?
Would that be better or worse than allowing Wheeljack and Bonescrusher together?

I actually forgot about that whole memories thing. Perhaps each individual Prime has its own voice and they argue with each other over what Optimus ought to do in any given situation - and Primus' actual voice can't get a word in edgewise.

Maybe they see their tape deck as a fashion accessory of their own, so it's a win-win situation. Or maybe they just don't know about it.
Aww! That's... cute and sad. Starscream needs a hug, though he'd probably not let anyone give him one.
Yes, he does. Poor Screamy. We can always imagine that he got lots of hugs pre-war and he could think of those later... but it's not nearly as good as the real thing.
Aww! That makes me wonder who Magnus is then, since the most popular opinion (and the one I am fond of) is that he was Dion. ( ... )

Yep! That's pretty much exactly how I see it! This can totally fit G1 animated - Optimus empties the Matrix, then Optimus starts thinking he's going nuts because the Matrix is talking to him!
Well, I guess he could still be Dion... or maybe Dion is Optimus! And Orion Pax gets injured while on Earth and is upgraded into Ultra Magnus!
XD That's just great! Though I'd love to see the resulting coonfusion when Elita finds out.
Elita: Whaaaaat?!! I've been dating Dion for over a mega-vorn?!! DAMMIT!
Why limit himself to just Decepticons? ;)
Well my Primus muse is sympathetic to the Autobots (and is sometimes one himself - via his drone body), but I guess even some of the Autobots can be annoying.
Optimus: Magnus, is there a good reason why the planet just ejected Cliffjumper into space ( ... )

Galvatron: Well, that makes two of us. Mwahahaha!
Optimus: *horrified at the idea of being as nuts as Galvy*
Elita: Whaaaaat?!! I've been dating Dion for over a mega-vorn?!! DAMMIT!
LOL. Poor Dion-Optimus. If she couldn't even tell the difference, then why should it matter? Wait, is he her brother? I can never remember if that's someone's personal canon or not...
but I guess even some of the Autobots can be annoying.
No, really? Remember Wheelie?
...I'm sorry.
Magnus: *Shrugs* He started it! He shouldn't call me an interstellar fat-aft.
If Magnus weren't the drone-body of Primus here... I love the idea of Primus defending his oddly-chosen 'favorites'. And Cliffjumper, that was mean. Apologize to your commanding officer/deity/home planet right now, young 'bot!
That's my personal canon. Between building all sorts of buildings without reference to the planetary blueprints, and the fact of the energy shortage on Cybertron... Primus is a little stuck. He ( ... )

Primus: *Petpet* You're not nuts, the Matrix is just working properly again.

Well my personal canon (outside RP) doesn't have them siblings, because usually Magnus was rebuilt at the same time, but then my personal canon usually has Optimus ending up with Magnus instead anyway.
But I can imagine Dion-Optimus is happy, once he's over the shock, since when he thought he was Orion, he'd thought Dion had died... so once he gets over the whole confusion he's glad to find his best friend is still alive ( ... )

Optimus: Yeah... the voice in my head is telling me I'm not nuts. How comforting.

Although then he'd have to deal with the fact that his best friend is now his subordinate, and they can't just hang out like they used to. And Orion might be a little distant because he's thought all this time that Dion was dead, and Optimus isn't quite the same as he used to be.
And there is why later he reacts so much over Cliffjumper calling him that.
Primus: Only my brother's allowed to call me that!... Wait, that came out wrong...

I'd love to see the pair-ups involved there! The only one I can think of is Skydive minding Rewind.
Heh heh... I mentioned this one to my friend. He said, "can see either Eject or Rewind looking up hopefully at Sunstreaker who glares back at them and goes "No." And promptly punts them out the room."

Awww... Poor cassettes! And that mental image (the hopeful look, not the punting... actually, both) was really cute.
If it was Eject, I'm sure he'd appreciate the irony of being 'punted' in imitation of one of his favorite Earth sports.
I am now sad for the homeless wandering punted Cassettes, and feel obliged to match them up with appropriate 'hotels'.
Eject: Ironhide
Rewind: Perceptor
Ramhorn: Sideswipe or Ratchet
Steeljaw: Hound
Rumble: Thundercracker
Frenzy: Skywarp
Laserbeak: Megatron
Buzzsaw: Starscream?
Ratbat: Scavenger
Ravage: Reflector?
