Warnings: Slight mention of bot/bot, maybe bot/human pairings.
Summary: Five truths per Mini-con. Should be a lot of fun.
=3---=3---=3---=3---
Incinerator:
1.) A part of him finds Blurr to be a complete and utter snob, but another part of him finds it, in a word, refreshing. Most of the mechs he knows are too docile, like Red Alert, or too fool-hardy, like Hot Shot and Sideswipe. And besides, isn't it the snobs who get all the attention?
2.) During power-link, it's hard for the racer not to notice that he's basically attaching himself to Blurr's… aft.
3.) Rap music is horrible. Seriously, he can't listen to it for more than three seconds without getting physically ill.
4.) To him, High Wire is very, very attractive. His paint job is just the right shade of blue and the orange mask is just this side of adorable. If the BMX wasn't dating Rad, Incinerator would jump his wires in a blink.
5.) While his partner can barely tolerate Sideswipe, Incinerator can't help but feel that if he was just slightly taller and lost that tendency of hugging, he'd be perfect for Blurr. He could easily imagine them having a couple sparklings and a home together…. Insert manic laughter here.
=3---=3---=3---
Nightbeat:
1.) He does not like his appearance. He can't help thinking of himself as ugly, simply because he does not have a proper faceplate.
2.) He's the youngest Mini-con on base, and it drives him insane. Nobody seems to get his jokes except Jolt and that's only because his mind seems to be in the gutter 50% of the day.
3.) Sideswipe is probably the best friend he's ever had. He stayed around even when they built a new Mini-con city on Cybertron, never once telling him what to do.
4.) His favorite color since coming to Earth has been beige. It was so weird to see a color like that and he couldn't remember seeing it on Cybertron so, first chance he got he asked Grindor's human to buy him the cheapest beige item he could find.
5.) His most prized possession sits on his berth every day and lies beside him every night. A little beige stuffed rabbit, with floppy chocolate ears.
=3---=3---=3---
Jolt:
1.) The first time he witnessed Halloween on Earth, his entire mainframe nearly shut down. Now he can't even look at a pumpkin without the urge to blow it up.
2.) He's a little obsessed with Greek mythology. Stories about Achilles and Icarus being his favorite. Thanks to them, he keeps his wings and joints in superb condition.
3.) Pranks on Long Arm are kind of his thing. It's so easy, too. The medic being so gullible, he never thinks anything the mini helicopter does is a trick, until it's too late.
4.) He made a good friend out of Runway when Starscream joined the Autobots. And Jolt couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea when he discovered that the jet was in love with Sonar.
5.) Jolt believes that Cyclonus gives helicopters a bad name. The mech can't even hold onto his rotors for more than three months!
=3---=3---=3---
Long Arm:
1.) The medic can ice skate. And he's exceptionally good at it, too.
2.) Mosquitoes give him the creeps, not only because they carry diseases, but the way that they feed on other organics makes him want to spray on ten tons of bug spray, even if he, himself cannot be harmed. He does, however, make sure the kids are safe. Five electric bug zappers are on the premises of the base.
3.) He's seen Red Alert without his optic band. Those were the prettiest optics he's ever seen.
4.) High grade Energon makes him sick. Swallowing a mouth full sends him straight to his partner and keeps him in stasis for a good day and a half.
5.) Sparkplug volunteered to decorate his room and Long Arm regrets it every single day. The yellow leader-con posted pictures of flowers and baby ducks everywhere and now the medic dreams of something floral and/or fowl related every time he recharges.
=3---=3---=3---
Liftor:
1.) He can't help but feel apathetic towards Demolisher. If, for no other reason, than the fact that they both have oddly shaped optics.
2.) Smokescreen is probably the sweetest Autobot he's ever met. Not only does he call him partner, he also lets him sleep on his chassis whenever he wants.
3.) Something about break-dancing draws him in. The sheer movement and speed and free feeling of it is just invigorating! Nobody knows he can do it, but if they should find out… well, maybe it's a good thing he practices as often as possible.
4.) He was the only (unfortunate) mech around, the day that the female fleshling that "belonged" to Sureshock, started bleeding for no reason he could find, and he called in Red Alert, Long Arm, Optimus Prime and all the others, in a panic. He would later find that was the exact opposite of what he should have done.
5.) The blue Mini-con once was trapped under Scavenger during one of his naps, and had to scream for over fifteen minutes before someone found him, half flattened.
=3---=3---=3---
Commetor:
1.) He loathes Billy to his very core. Not really because of the kids' personality, but because Jetfire seemed to have taken a liking to him the day Thrust lured him into the ambush with those other Mini-cons.
2.) He does not like being called Mini-Blurr. True, they share similar physical features, but that's it!
3.) Human movies, in his humble opinion, totally rock! Sit him down with some high-grade and he'll watch anything, from 'Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights' to 'Zoolander', they're all awesome.
4.) Horses kinda scare the blue mech. They're always in herds, dangerous at both ends and he just knows that if he ever got close enough to one, it would most likely lure him into a false sense of security before trampling him. Wouldn't be fatal, but would hurt.
5.) Commetor has begged Jetfire at least five times to let his partner get a different paint job. The jet always refuses for some reason, though.
=3---=3---=3---
Rollbar:
1.) Nobody except Scavenger knows that Rollbar was once on the Decepticon side. Only for about two hundred years, though.
2.) His favorite activity involves attempting to tackle Grindor and Nightbeat. It has thus far proven to be almost impossible when they're around other mechs, but alone they're easy targets. Nightbeat rewards him with a noogy, but Grindor always finds a way to turn the tables and pin the slightly bigger mech on his backside.
3.) He does not like snow. Not even a little.
4.) More than anything he wants to find a way to eat an orange. Their scent is intoxicating and if he was presented the opportunity, he'd stuff every inch of his room with the fruit.
5.) He caught Scavenger and Smokescreen going at it during one of their missions once. He kept his yap shut, but it was hard not to laugh at the time.
=3---=3---=3---
Sparkplug:
1.) He's gay. Still trying to find a way to come out of the closet and finding it increasingly difficult. Perhaps he wouldn't, if he ever caught sight of, say, Grindor, High Wire, Jolt or Sonar in their spare time?
2.) He wore a black tuxedo once and loved every second of it. It fit perfectly and accentuated his aft very nicely.
3.) He believes that a tattoo could make him look tough. Not like the kind humans get, obviously, he doesn't have skin. But, permanent paint works just as well. A blue Chinese dragon on his right arm would be perfect.
4.) The first time he saw Optimus without his mask, the yellow mech cried out in joy. Their face plates were near identical and if Prime was ever turned into a Mini-con, they could be twins.
5.) He often feels that High Wire would be much better suited to be Optimus' partner. The BMX is both wise and strong. Nothing like Sparkplug, who was too naïve and not strong enough, in his own opinion. He doesn't know if High Wire ever took the offer, it would probably break Prime's and Rad's heart.
=3---=3---=3---=3---
High Wire:
1.) When he first awakened on the strange planet he'd known only by the name said by the person he saw a flicker of a long time ago, he was confused and scared. But then he saw Rad, and the fear left to give way to… he was pretty sure it was relief, but not positive.
2.) Grindor and Sureshock are his teammates, but that doesn't make them mates. He's still free to look for love and glad his human is willing to help him find it.
3.) The blue BMX was very startled the first time Rad gave him a bubble bath. It was just so weird. Transformers did bathe, but not like humans who added little soaps and colored salts and foam. It was like stepping into a dream.
4.) He enjoys it when the kids spirit the Min-cons away from the base for some fun. Most of the little bots never had the luxury on Cybertron, and it was wonderful to find kindness given for no reason by these young organic beings.
5.) Every night when his blond human friend falls into sleep, High Wire sneaks into bed with him and holds him tight, thinking how lucky he is to find a partner like this.
=3---=3--=3---
Grindor:
1.) His alt-mode is the very smallest in all of the Autobot base and it irks the hell out of him. But, then Carlos reminds him that skateboards are classy, and then he doesn't feel so bad.
2.) He can't help but feel guilty that he likes High Wire more than Sureshock, simply on the basis that the blue mech gets into just as much mischief as Grindor himself.
3.) The skateboard really likes staying over at Carlos' house. It's interesting if not hilarious to see how the Spaniard handles having parents, one baby brother and three older sisters. It's like a sit-com.
4.) Every so often when a new Mini-con is introduced to the humans, Grindor is a little on edge whenever the newbie looks for too long a time at his own partner. He always has the suspicion that they're going to try and court him, and the skateboard hates it.
5.) It took three hours after that fiasco with the camping trip for the grey Mini-con to come down from sheer panic. Two hours for him to work off the energy he'd produced because of it. And twenty-five minutes for Liftor, the strongest Mini-con on base, to pry Grindor from the bear hug he was imposing on his partner.
=3---=3---=3---
Sureshock:
1.) When the orange scooter had scanned Alexis, he got something his teammates hadn't. Common sense.
2.) In the time that Starscream spent among the Autobots, Sureshock had not entirely trusted him, but had ignored the feeling in favor of chatting with Swindle. The racecar was a crude, perverse bad-ass and the other liked it.
3.) The day that his partner had brought in the disk on human females and their birthing rituals for everyone on base to see, all the mechs stayed as far away from her as possible for the next few days, scared out of their circuits, even Scavenger. But, Sureshock was delighted at the end of the movie when the female it recorded had not one but two "babies", and volunteered to watch it again with Alexis.
4.) It was humiliating that every single new Mini-con that came on base thought Sureshock was a femme at first glance. High Wire and Grindor were both slimmer than the orange mech, why didn't anyone get confused with them?!
5.) When he's sure and certain that nobody else is around, he sings "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" and "Perfect Isn't Easy" in the wash racks. He's still not entirely sure why, though.
=3---=3---=3---
Okay, these are the Autobot Mini-cons for this round, so next round will focus on the Decepticon Minis. Suggestions are very much welcome, considering I'm running on empty for any ideas. Also, which Min-con belongs to Wheeljack? S.O.S., help, throw me a bone!
