50 is a good number.
1. Tyrannosaurus Prime.
2. What if the Autobots had encountered Raoul, Carly, or Astoria before Spike and Sparkplug?
3. When two or more universes collide, there’s usually plenty of opportunity for action and humor. But what if a mech from one universe sees what another is like and decides to abandon his own universe for the new one?

*sing-song voice* Telepathy strikes agaaaiiin.*stops*
Only my version is Tyrannus Prime.
16. For a Cybertronian, leaning or bending toward someone suggests in body-language that one is about to transform and smash into/run over the other person. Thus, the polite human ‘bow’ is interpreted as an aggressive or mocking gesture.
Ooo. I like this. It's always interesting to see deeper analysis's into other cultures and understanding what actions and behaviors mean what to different people.
19. After a battle, the winning side engages in an obnoxious victory dance.
*cackles*
24. Ground-based alt-modes, on the other hand, usually form relationships of any kind in pairs. One of the Stunticons is a ‘fifth wheel’ - and not necessarily the one you’d expect.
Motormaster. It even says in the wiki that the rest hate him, but they never say why.
44. “Frustration is the feeling of getting smarter.”*grins* My little piece of sanity says I should keep this in mind next time ( ... )

Indeed. I tried to come up with more little things like this but I drew a blank. Ideas?
As for a transformer....Starscream. How long has he been trying to take over the Decepticons now? His I.Q. has to be through the roof, if it wasn't already.
Ooh, good point! But 'getting smarter' doesn't necessarily mean 'getting more common sense', so he'll keep failing until his head explodes from sheer genius.
ScientistTransformer: "I have some magic powder."
IgnorantTransformer: "Pssh. Yeah right." *waves hand*
ST: "Oh?" *smirks* "Care to prove me wrong."
IT: "There's no such thing as magic. There's nothing to prove."
ST: *chucks bag-of-powder*
IT: *sputters* "Pwah! What is your problem!" *wipes at face* "Right in the optics"
ST: *runs off cackling*
IT: *mutters to self* "They're insane." *is now polka dotted*
*LOVES* I'm seeing Mixmaster.
*whispers* They're all toys.Well, that ( ... )

Something about handshakes. I mean with all the doodads that could possibly hurt someone that they can switch their hands with, and the fact that with some extending the arm also points a weapon, that could be pretty hazardous. It might mean a stronger sign of trust than most of the gestures we have.

Is there any way that venting exhaust could be construed as a positive action (and not the equivalent of a human fart, like I've seen in a few fics)? Maybe it's involuntary, and they're supposed to say 'Bless you' or 'Gesundheit' or something similar.
And I can't for the life of me interpret what it's supposed to mean when someone's optics light up in the G1 cartoon.

Some see it as a fart? That's kinda bizarre. Any gases produced by the body are a result of biochemics through digestion, it's doesn't make a lot of sense for that to be the equivalent.

...Weird, weird conversation. Reminds of when I and someone else (kirin_saga, maybe?) were debating what color Cybertronian snot is.

As for snot, you might find this article interesting. Nasal mucus may be one of the things we might share with transformers. I wonder if you had that discussion around the time I had read the article.
