Pairing memes!

[sister_dear]

Give me a character and I will give you my:

+ OTP for them.
+ Runner-up pairing.
+ Honorable mention(s).
+ Crack pairing(s). (Which, to quote eerian_sadow, I am interpreting as "non-standard pairing which sometimes turns humorous.")
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't. (alternately: ship I like that everyone else seems to hate)

Alternatively, here's one

Ratchet?

[sister_dear]

Going with G1

+ OTP for them: Wheeljack
+ Runner-up pairing: Ratchet/Twins
+ Honorable mention(s): Ratchet/Starscream (Katsuko's fault), Ratchet/Prowl
+ Crack pairing(s): I read a Ratchet/Sunstorm once that had me sold.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Ratchet/Shockwave, though I wouldn't say it's common. It's not so much the pairing itself as the fact that it's always Ratchet having been captured by Shockwave. Not my favortie scenario.

Katsuko totally sold me on that pairing too!

And I remember that Ratchet/Sunstorm one... it was excellent.

*whistles innocently as completely ships Ratchet/Shockwave*

LOL, I'll turn this around on you! Arcee, and feel free to tl;dr to me!

[sister_dear]

Should have seen that one coming, haha. Going to go with TF:Prime, as I just don't ship her with all that many different characters in other continuities. I think most of the groundwork for these pairings is set by the first few episodes, so this shouldn't be spoilerific.

+ OTP for them: Arcee/Cliffjumper, mostly because of the prequel comic.
+ Runner-up pairing: Arcee/Bumblebee is growing on me, since they seem to be getting a few moments here and there.
+ Honorable mention(s): Arcee/Jack, with Jack aged up a few years. Haven't actually seen this one done, but their canon relationship certainly sets them up for it.
+ Crack pairing(s): Hmmmm. Arcee/Starscream, in a deathmatch and battlelust kind of way.
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Arcee/Optimus. I have trouble seeing them as anything more than commander and soldier. And possibly I like Optimus/Ratchet too much. >.>

Any specific pairings you'd like for that second part or should I just pick a few and go? XD

[mmouse15]

*bows before the master* I'll let you pick a few and go for it!

[sister_dear]

Here there be minor spoilers for Bayverse IDW Arcee. Nothing you won't see in her wiki pages

[cazcatharsis]

what does tl;dr mean? lol im still such a noob

[sister_dear]

too long; didn't read. In other words, pull a Bluestreak and chatter at length about it. :3

[cazcatharsis]

ahhhh okay!

[iiiskaaa]

Warpath.

[sister_dear]

Ohh that one's different! :D And difficult. Hmm.

+ OTP for them: Warpath/Powerglide, mostly due to this fic: http://community.livejournal.com/7_minibots/804.html
+ Runner-up pairing: Warpath/Blitzwing. Because tank on tank headbutting has the potential to get out of hand sometime, right?
+ Honorable mention(s): Warpath/any other minibot who's assertive enough to handle him.
+ Crack pairing(s): All of the above probably qualify. XD
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Does anyone actually write Warpath in pairing fic?

[femme4jack]

Oh, will you tl/dr Miles for me XDDDDD

[sister_dear]

Most definitely. :D

+ OTP for them: Miles/Beachcomber <3!
+ Runner-up pairing: Miles/Trent
+ Honorable mention(s): Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, Prowl
+ Crack pairing(s): Any Decepticon
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Can't really think of one, seeing as there's not that much out there for him in the first place.

[femme4jack]

XDDDDD

There need to be more Con/Miles!!! I need to read the Starscream/Miles I saw awhile back but haven't read yet.
