I meant more that he's new to being the designated Autobot tour guide, but yeah, he's not exactly Mr I Will Stand Stoicly Still And Be Calm And Rational, no.
Rath said she liked Sally's POV too. Apparently I hit something right there :)
And replace his hose with thread?
You've been diving in Florida? Do tell; Florida just keeps cropping up in everything at the moment.
Chip, I think, got away with the acid rain because the Autobots were sheltering him.
I'm pretty sure the ship can move. The 'con base is definitely near New York, based on several episodes, especially Girl Who Loved Powerglide, yet somehow got to the middle of the Atlantic in Day of the Machines. And then there's the ship-disguised-as-a-mountain in Prime Problem. So I think it moves, yes.
They may have. The Koiverse take on it is that they opened it up, stripped it out and abandoned it ... although Scavenger did find some interesting things stuck to the hull.
You have to wonder what effect Fire in the Sky had on global warming too. And the constant predation on fossil fuel energy sources and power plants may have pushed humanity towards more eco-friendly distributed energy systems, e.g. installing solar panels on houses. 'cons aren't going to raid *that*. Government'd have to do something like that if 'con energy raids kept causing mass blackouts. Note that there are humans installing Cybertronian energy systems that run on the Earth's magnetic fields way back in Heavy Metal War, etc etc etc.
Heh, you should hear me talk. My tongue's too big for my mouth, I spoonerise, I get words wrong [infamously calling the tumble drier a microwave for example] and my sentence structure is wretched. My brain just goes too fast for my mouth.
It's become a very handy non-fandom, so to speak. It's something I can watch for entertainment and as something to do in my downtime, something to play with data from, but not devote serious brain-time to the way I have with Transformers, leaving my mind free to work on original stuff.
Most certainly not stotic, calm and rational; but that's why we love him. Poor boy, first tour has a Suecontender, skinheads and more... for some reason I see Red recording this to snicker at later (also, thank you for answering the how in the WORLD do you stay upright if it's at an angle... and I loved Sunstreaker's cameo;)
I concure with Rath, you most certainly hit something there, a fun character to use at a later date in your original works.
But of course!
Well mostly it involves taking a raft out (you need something to raise the diving flag on, and a place to plunk a few shells and bottles of water, and having an anchor chain is nice) to a nice zone. drop anchor, raise the dive flag oxingate your blood while doing so (quick deep breaths mostly) then take 5 DEEP breaths, holding each as long as you can... take a breath and down you go. You have to make sure you don't get in a rip tide or go out to where you might have to worry about the gulfstream though (powwwwwwwwerful current) the west coast is overall safer and warmer waters than the east. I grew up in florida, only moved 5 years ago or so, and not by choice. I miss the warmth and waters.
True that.
Hmmm, that does help explain the multiple bases (the mid atlantic one would count more as a con victory, all the oil that was pumped off before the autobots got free was theirs.
Interesting!
*nods* Very good points on that, in order to survive with 'normal lives' the grid as we currently think of it would almost certainly be long gone.
I do that as well, my mind skips a few words ahead of what I'm saying and my mouth can not keep up. That I speak a bit oddly does not help matters.
And he probably got lumbered with it at short notice because everyone else was busy elsewhere.
Hmm! I never really thought of her beyond Generic Character #1 ...
Hhmmm! What's it like, Florida?
When you look at it, a lot of the 'con plots do end up with them netting big energy gains. The Autobots do shut them down, but usually only after they've walked off with buckets of energon.
Koipedia article on the Nemesis (http://koipedia.pbworks.com/Nemesis) explains it in more detail.
Yup. Also ties in with how Earth's technology in 2005 in the cartoon is far in advance of where we are now.
That does sound like his luck. But thank you for his cameo;)
Well hot for one thing, but if you like the heat like I do it's a good thing (it was so nice to just sit in the sun while I worked landscaping and soak up the heat. mmmm. Overall the people are more relaxed and accepting it's 'the only state where you have to go north to get to the south'; it's comparable to a more relaxed and tourist based New York city really. High Jewish and Catholic population, but really the only religious 'fanatics' that you'd meet tend to be the Jehovah Witness'. on my block they were there every weekend at least once, but they were usually polite and nice overall. The high Jewish popuation means it has the BEST bagels and delis and lots of kosher foods. It's... well it's really eternal summer there. You have 'summer' where it rains once a day and is sunny the rest of the day, and winter where it rains twice a day and is sunny the rest of the day;) The air smells of the ocean, and good dark earth and green things growing. The 'glades well some people hate the smell, others like it and there's the smell of cars and such too, but everywhere you go there's the ocean in the breeze. Hmmm, if you stick a stick in the ground it WILL grow (we had a 30 foot tree in our yard from me doing that). Tis black dirt over sand over limestone so even after a hurricane water drains quickly unless someone built the roads weird and the water can't drain. Hurricanes are a real threat but most houses are built to survive them and you know where they are. Hmmm, high hispanic culture, the asian population grows fast too and the indian (people from india) population was on the up also. Uhhh, what else would you like to know?
*nods* I think many people miss that but most episodes the Decepticons may loose the fight but they gained much in the way of energy and supplies before retreating.
*goes to read*
Yes it does, we've a character who took 'human studies' in our BW fics, but he only knows/studied human cultures from before the 'cross contamination' which means 70s and before. Mostly it was because he randomly decided that he knew and loved musicals while we were writing him.
I'm afraid I don't anymore. My orignal computer blew up (literally, small burn scars on my arm from it) so I am now on a linux and I can't get most if any chats to work, though I can get g-chat to work most times.
Hmmm. Really not sure what I'd make of the place. I'm from the east of England, a flat fen with wind imported from Siberia. That sort of warmth is hard to imagine.
Yup. Sometimes the Autobots stop them before they actually start up, but more often the Decepticons accomplish a lot of their goals before the 'bots put the kybosh on things.
You like?
Interestingly enough, in BW Earth is under interdiction, so who knows what's going on there?
Yow! My old 486 tried to electrocute me in its death throes, but that just threw me across the room. Have you tried Meebo?
Well with the warmth the only thing I can assure you is that one would bask or bake;) IT tends to be a love or hate instant response, or so I've found. I love the heat and the sun, as they ease the pain for me, but it's not for everyone.
True, true... which does explain the planet situation in the movie^_^
Aye, very much so! I've been slowly trying to read through your koipedia ever since discovering that it was there. It is very well rounded and researched!
A true point, and an extensive one as it was apparently to cover all of space-time in that zone and not just a single location... perhaps both factions wanting to prevent Megatron's gambit?
No, I've not tried Meebo, though I will look into it for when my laptop eventually dies. Thank you!
I can only assume bask. I spend so much time trying to keep warm or get warm, which is hard with the CFS, that I'd expect to like the heat. Humidity is another question ... my skin breaks out in blisters when it gets damp, especially if it's damp and hot. Argh.
Yup. The 'cons have been making gains all over the place by the end of S2, and there's another 20 years between that and TFTM. And note they're running a protection racket on Monacus by mid-S2, so it's not like the Autobots are covering nearly as much ground as the 'cons are.
Thank you! I'm not sure about researched though, most of it is made up as hell.
Space-*time*? Eh?
Meebo's browser-based, so it might work for you now ...
