In case any of you don't know yet, this is
cheysulinight with my new fandom ID. *is getting tired of reintroducing herself*
Why is the text in this post orange? I like orange. And I just remembered I can change the text color.
1. Either everyone gets turned human or they use holoforms. How would a Bot who does not have a vehicle mode (Perceptor, Blaster, etc) handle driving a car? I can see Blaster being overly careful and Perceptor driving recklessly... odd, I know.
2. "All rise. Honorable Judge Optimus presiding..."
3. "I'm not insane; I have the papers to prove it." Note: Partially inspired by a line in a fic I read; and partially inspired by a piece of TF fanart.
4. "If you want Perceptor to use smaller words, just smack him upside the head while he's talking. It lets him know he's losing you."
"That really works?"
"Yep. He's gotten used to me doing that. He doesn't even pause anymore; just switches instantly to understandable words."
5. "I can't believe I heard that."
"Me neither."
"I think my audios are bleeding."
6. In the early days of the war, Inferno searched the remains of a mostly collapsed hospital. Part of it was still intact, though most of the patients died of neglect and exposure. This is where Inferno first met Red Alert; the future security director was a patient that was in better shape than most. And Inferno never told anyone, not even Ratchet, that he had met Red Alert in the ruins of a psychiatric hospital.
7. "Do not let the mask you wear fool yourself."
8. "I don't understand why Red Alert loves you and not me."
"Because I did something you never could."
"And that is?"
"Earned his trust."
9. Crossover with Discworld. "Red Alert, Perceptor, care to explain why cameras have caught the two of you talking to a strange robed figure?"
10. Some humans refer to Hound as the Autobot's guard dog. Of course, these human don't realize Hound is his name. They think it's a description.
11. Perceptor's hearing isn't all that good, which is why he relies so much on vision.
12. Crossover with BTVS. D'Hoffryn/Perceptor. Note: I'm sorry. It was in a dream.
13. Everyone wondered why Red Alert got along with Miles. If Red Alert told them that it was because the odd little human actually understood why he acted as paranoid as he did, would they believe him?
14. Perceptor's bondmate often forgets that Perceptor is perfectly capable of taking care of himself.
15. AU. The Transformers are humans... and they're pirates.
16. Perceptor shares a lab with Wheeljack. Wheeljack learns Perceptor receives hazard pay because of this fact.
17. Part of Perceptor's duties is to... tend to those in the science department when they become frustrated.
18. Perceptor mourns Brawn's death.
19. People are so used to the fact that Perceptor never complains about anything that they forget he actually has reason to complain.
20. 'Funny. I could have sworn Perceptor was actually growling.'
21. A Decepticon infiltrator gains the trust of unsuspecting Autobots by capturing an Autobot and 'brainwashing' them into trusting him completely. Seeing that one of their friends completely trusts this strange mech usually prevents them from realizing what is actually going on until it's too late. But this time, the Decepticon made a mistake. He didn't investigate his target; he just grabbed the first Autobot he saw. And the first one he saw was Red Alert. When the Autobots notice that Red Alert blindly trusts this mech, they know something is not right.
22. Hook has a psychotic break and, at Megatron's request, Soundwave attempts to discover what caused it. The other Constructicons don't want Soundwave rooting around in Hook's mind but there is really nothing they can do to stop him.
23. When the Constructicons first betrayed Omega Supreme, he managed to capture Hook. Unable to undo what the Decepticons did to the Constructicon, Omega Supreme puts Hook in a forced stasis lock and hides him away. Millions of years later, Hook wakes up. But having been in a forced stasis lock for so long, much of his memory files have been scrambled, leaving him with only one clear memory...
24. Without light, there can be no darkness. Without darkness, there can be no light. You can't have one without the other and for this reason, the war will never end.
25. Primus has split his consciousness into several different mechs.
26. "None of us knows where it is, though we all know the way."
27. Optimus and Red Alert are separated from the others during an attack and, due to an injury, Red Alert is glitching and is more skittish than usual. Optimus tries to coax him along but it's slow going.
28. Wheeljack meets sparkling!Perceptor and decides to show him the lab. He soon realizes he shouldn't have done that. "Well, the good news is that the kid survived his first explosion."
29. The first mech he had ever killed was his own creator.
30. In the early days of the war, Perceptor was the Cybertronian equivalent of a teenage parent.
31. More bots are arriving on Earth and humans are feeling very overworked. Not only do they have to find places for the bots to stay, they have to cover up any sightings, repair damaged buildings, and teach them about humanity. When the humans realize that the Autobots have holomatter projectors and can appear as a human of any age, they decide to put the task of teaching them into someone else's hands. "Ok. You guys are going to school." Note: I don't think they should all go to the same school. That many new students at once are sure to raise unwanted questions. Also, since the Autobots are pretending to be underage humans, would they be considered emancipated minors or will they be 'adopted' by humans in the know? Or will you stick them with unsuspecting foster parents?
32. Crossover with Harry Potter. The Constructicons are human and are at Hogwarts. Imagine... Mixmaster in Potions class.
33. 2007Movie. Omega Supreme is about to arrive on Earth. Where could he land that would cause the least amount of damage and what would his Alt mode be?
34. Deep down, Omega Supreme knows that it wasn't the Constructicons' fault they were reprogrammed... but most of the time, all he can see is the betrayal.
35. Perceptor liked how Starscream never ignored him, even if he pretended to.
36. A painful device that keeps Skywarp from teleporting.
37. The unfortunate turn of the formerly profound Perceptor...
38. Inferno/Red Alert based on My Immortal by Evanescence.
39. Minds all scattered, trapped in bodies not their own and buried under the host's personality.
40. After he returns from a solo mission, Hook locks himself in his quarters and no one - not even the other Constructicons - can get him to come out or tell them what's wrong.
