G1: Maximal Traces

Mar 17, 2011 09:34

I have never seen much in the way of fics that take on the issue of the Maximal residency in the Ark, and what the Autobots would make of it after they wake up in 1984 ( Read more... )

optimus prime, beast wars, g1, ark, optimus primal, megatron, maximals

Poor Red Alert, everybody thought he was just glitched, always thinking the Ark had been compromised...

Someone needs to write this. I'd do it, but I have never seen Beast Wars. And I have the attention span of a gnat, so it'd never be finished.

Yeah, most of what I know of Beast Wars is encompassed in about the episodes (including the episode where the Maximals are fixing up Prime after Megatron's attempt to change history with a canon), and a few Wiki article I've read.

I actually got thinking about this due to a fic that had a running joke about there being "no cargo hold F", which reminded me of the only fic I recalled that addressed possible remnants of the Maximal residence - someone finds the junk Rattrap didn't have room to take with him. I still feel that more could be tackled on the issue than just that.

Ooh. . .I think I know what fic you're talking about; I think it was by. . .Shaun Garin?

'No cargo hold F'. . .? I'm sad to say I have no idea what that means. . .

I don't recall actually, it was a while ago that I read it.

"Cargo hold F" is a running gag in the early part of this fic. All the Autobots were insisting there's no Cargo Hold F - turns out it's a bit of a "Don't talk about Fight Club" thing, only Cargo Hold F seems to be the Ark's highgrade bar.

you kept talking about cleaning up traces, and my mind kept making the traces about the organic variety...sorry.

but that sounds interesting.

mimi_sardinia March 28 2011, 08:30:42 UTC

Well, that's another thing. The Maximals are partly organic (or a good facsimile there-of) - good enough to be able to fart. If they're good enough to pass more than just gas, where did they set up the toilet?

ditzymusiclover March 29 2011, 04:10:56 UTC

oh yeah, my husband showed me the farting scene. That was epic! I laughed so hard.

I haven't seen it, but I was reading the Humanization page on the Wiki and saw a mention of that. Fun times!
