The Decepticon human spies sounds like a good idea.


Was it just me..or did Cylconus look weird in MTMTE #16?

[myth;]

We'll need a plot so cool, so cunning that even Unicron would want to get a bit of the action... Hmm. If we gather as many ideas as possible and make them into different plots, we should have enough themes to last a long time...
The head master thing sounds cool, as long as it isn't the TFA one. That guy creeped me out to the extremes.
Human spies is a very risky business. But it will make it all the more interesting, as well as having traitors and spies who pretend to be on one team but are really on the other.

Oh and how about techno organics that would be cool!?

Human spies infiltrating Decepticon ranks would be quickly found out and destroyed, however humans in Autobot ranks...it plays on the Autobot's biggest weakness - the inability an/or reluctance to kill humans. Even if they are discovered, the Autobots would be unlikely to want to kill them. Well, Optimus Prime would not want to do it. He'd probably try to turn the human over to their own side.

I like the idea with having several plots, maybe one plot per person or something? As was said, that could be a good way to keep us all active and posting, as well as it would make sure a single plot doesn't get drawn out to the point where it get's boring.
A few fast paced plots sound quite good to me if anyone is up for that?

For the spy idea, I like that idea, maybe each spy could have the Decepticon symbol as a tattoo hidden on their body somewhere, just as an extra aspect to add some excitement?

On another note, I've been thinking lately on people's take on he Transformers Universe and generally 'unclear' or common topics that haven't got 'set facts' so to speak.
So basically I am talking about Sparklings/ reproduction, Food / Fuel and Sleeping / Recharge. Just wondering what everyone thought on the matter.

Personally.
Sparklings seem to be a very widely used subject of OC origins and such. For myself I have never really believed Cybertronians could 'reproduce' so to speak. Being robotic and not having the same systems as humans despite being relatively humanoid in appearance. Though I am aware that some people believe very strongly in the possibility using theories surrounding sparks and protoforms. Personally the only things I have seen to back up such a theory was Sari in Animated and the Clones in Prime.
Be that as it may, I prefer the idea of the AllSpark being the way Cybertronians are 'born' so to speak, Transformers Exodus claiming that every Cybertronian originated from the AllSpark then being given a designation and cast.

Food, this is one where my opinion has changed recently. My previous belief being that Cybertronians didn't need to 'eat' at all, Energon being their 'blood' so to speak, I believed that it only needed to be replenished when they lost it in battle. I have since realized that though it isn't directly stated how they 'refuel', it has been mentioned in several different continuities. Despite this I have never been a fan of 'drinking' energon cubes myself.

Sleep / Recharge, Sleep seemed to me an unnecessary thing, the reason we sleep is both for mental health and to let our bodies heal and generally allow our bodies to recuperate. Until recently I believed Cybertronians didn't need to sleep, not having the same regeneration system as ourselves I deemed it that they 'recharged' only for mental health though it was not as important for it to be a ritual. Though because they have been hinted at having some semblance of healing (I forget where), it could be a regular thing to 'recharge'.

I am not in any way claiming that my opinions are totally correct nor do I object to differing opinions.
I would love your thoughts on this topic in regards to what you might have seen or read to either back up or contradict mine or your own theories.

Would just love your thoughts on the matter.

I'm pretty sure they have some regenerative capabilities, their armor has been called 'living metal', so therefore it should be able to repair itself to some extent on a molecular level.

This is something I would love to understand. There's a bit of mixed up facts on these topics that it gets realy confusing. I'd read something about sleep/recharging than someone would tell me that it's wrong and tell me something completely different. Everyone is trying out they're own outtake on the 'reproduction' topic, that it's as confusing as the others. The idea that all Cybertronians were 'born' from the Allspark strikes me as the best way that they'd come to be.As for the food/fuel I don't have any insights on this. I just go on whatever people say.
IT CONFUSING.

[autobot girl]

I think they only have energon I don't think they can really eat/drink anything else.

Oh yeah and there are rumors that they might bring in some dinobots for TF4 I hope there true.

Recharge has been mentioned in one or two canon sources, I imagine it as being beneficial in much the same way as it's beneficial for every other living creature that sleeps - it helps mental and physical performance. If we keep machines on for too long, many of them overheat. The same would likely go for Cybertronians.
I dislike any theory that their reproduction is like our own, I doubt there can be any sort of 'brother and sister' thing except for one adopting another as such through a moment of hardship and unity. The Allspark theory has its flaws in my mind, but I like it better than the idea of any kind of impregnation or 'sparklings', because that just doesn't work at all.
Food/fuel...it's just energon in different forms. I believe I've seen Swerve stuffing his face with what looks like the energon equivalent of popcorn or chips. Likely they can alter energon to both liquid and solid forms for a variety of consumption options.
Alas, people are entitled to their own opinions...I base mine off what I see and hear in comics/shows.

It's very interesting hearing all your opinions. How awesome would it be if someone were to write a guide on this sort of thing, personally I rather dislike the inconsistency with these sort of facts. It just makes for a rather choppy RP.
How about in this theoretical RP we will have going, someone could write up a few paragraphs addressing these issues based on the general consensus here just to give it a bit more definition?

On another note, just got a new text tone! Now whenever I get a text it sounds like my phone is transforming! I personally loved the transformation sound effects from the movie!
