Subject: A BUNCH MORE THINGS TRANSFORMERS DON'T WANT OTHERS TO KNOW ABOUT THEM (fwd)


Yes, you asked for it! Thanking 
you all for your positive words, for they have spawned a new list:

   A BUNCH MORE THINGS TRANSFORMERS DON'T WANT OTHERS TO KNOW ABOUT THEM

* Blaster is tone deaf.

* Perceptor could have repaired Optimus Prime if only he'd remembered 
where he'd put his Meccano set.

* Scorponok originally removed his head not because he wan't to become a 
Headmaster but because he was scratching his head with those big claws of 
his.

* Despite his amazing transformation abilities, Sixshot is one unhappy 
droid. He hadn't said a '*six*-change operation'...

* During lulls in the fighting, the Dinobots tour as a folk band.

* Handing the Matrix to Ultra Magnus really did seem like a good idea at 
the time...

* Astrotrain remembers with fondness the days when being a Triple-Changer 
actually *meant* something.

* The war started because Prime and Megatron used to be married, and then 
they had a tiff, and it turned into a full-blown fight, then all their 
friends took sides, and...heck, you know how these things can get.

* The real reason that Optimus Prime kept the Matrix a secret all those 
years on Earth was because he couldn't for the life of him remember where 
he'd put it.

* Targetmaster Nebulans keep the war going on purpose. Hey, peacetime 
still needs heads and power, but *guns*...?

* Energon tastes like chicken.

* Bludgeon is the only one who knows the forbidden art of Metallikato 
because he made it up.

* Ultra Magnus made leadership decisions by using one of those little 
'decision maker' gadgets you can buy at Radio Shack.

* Tracks had to spend ages with Ratchet and Wheeljack pleading for them 
to rebuild him into a Corvette from a Volkswagen Kombibus.

* Sky Lynx is only trying to make everyone forget the day he stepped on a 
rake and it slammed into his face.

* Wreck-Gar's illegitimate half-brother is Cy-Kill out of GO-BOTS.

* Scourge feels his warrior qualities are diminished by having to be in 
charge of a bunch of guys called *Sweeps* of all things.

* Teletran I is a 286.

* Blurr is only on the longest sugar rush in history.

* Devastator can't move his legs, so he's got rollerblades.

* Megatron's going to kill the next being to ask about his ATB form.

* Optimus Primal has a crush on Mindwipe.

* Soundwave has to walk carefully so he won't embarrass himself by the 
cassettes rattling.


...and there they are, yes?

Urac 'Ratbat' Sigma, how I went from I HAVE NO NAME to *this* I have no 
idea...
