AN: So this got a surprising amount of reviews. For my stories anyway, I'm still kinda new to writing Fan-fiction. XD (And yes, I like Jazz being brought back! They did it to Megatron!)

To all the people who said you liked it, or something I count as liking it: Thanks! (Destiny'sRevenge, WhimsicalHeart, Riptide2, Holen-Snape, 31EliZAbeTH919, ksrli, I love cute things)

Joyfull scroll: This reviewer said that in DotM Epps is retired and Will is a Colonol? Or so they think. Either way, this is more set after just the first movie. POSSIBLY RotF, but I haven't decided yet. If I want Leo in it then it will be, but I digress.

MySunnySidesLife: I just now realized that you technically have the twins in your username! And I do agree that some of them could also be a "You know you're reading to many Transformers fan-fiction when:" list! I personally find myself thinking "aft" instead of "ass".

Peya Luna: Thank you for the review and idea. I'll tweak that idea just a bit, but I may use it! (Credited for 48)

Mizukikage: Thank you for the idea. (Credit goes to this user for suggesting a version of 43)


Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots, walked towards the Autobot rec-room. He preferred to give orders or ask questions face to face instead of using the Cybertronian comm system. It also helped that he wanted to get out of his office and away from that never ending stack of data pads that he had to go over. Even a Prime needed a break now and then.

He walked into the rec-room and noticed that some of his Autobots were gathered together, all vying to get a better view of… something. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were at the front with Bumblebee, Sunstreaker snapping at people to watch his paint. There was all three of Arcee, and Chromia was behind her. Ironhide stood next to Ratchet and Prowl. Wheeljack was even there. The only he was surprised that was no where in site was Jazz.

Curious, Optimus moved closer. He was surprised to see that someone had moved in a large dry-erase board. It was so big it covered most of one wall. Writing was all over it, and he almost expected it to be in Cybertronian glyphs, except it was in English.

He turned to Prowl, "Why is that there?"

"It seems our organic NEST members have decided to continue the list that Samual Witwicky and Robert Epps had originally started. I'm assuming that one of our own helped them put that here. It wasn't Bumblebee, nor Ironhide. I am led to believe that Jazz might have had a hand in this. Several of us have comm'd him and he seems surprisingly uninterested in reading this." Prowl replied, barely glancing at Optimus.

Optimus nodded, turning his optics back to the dry-erase board. He started to read.


You know you're spending too much time with the Autobots when: (continued)

28)You know where they keep the spare paint for Sunstreaker.

29) When you think "good cop" it's Prowl, and "bad cop" is Barricade.
-Though the twins wouldn't necessarily agree with you. (Will)

30) You pronounce Starscream "Stars Cream"
-And inadvertently think of Cybertronian porn. (Epps)
-Do car magazines/calendars count as Autobot porn? (Miles)
-In Starscream's case it would be military jets magazines. (Will)
-Touché. (Miles)

40) You actually wonder if car magazines or calendars are Cybertronian pron.
-We all blame Sam, Miles, and Mikaela for that one. (Will)
-What, why am I included? (Mikaela)
-You're a teenager. It counts. (Epps)

41) If you are in the Autobot med-bay for any reason you're terrified to touch any of Ratchet's tools.
-The only one I've seen brave enough to do it, without permission, is . (Will)
-He threatened to dissect Mojo. Mom was in a bad mood before that, and there was a wrench in reach… (Sam)
-And here I thought Judy was threatening with a broom! (Miles)
-Ratchet was actually afraid something was wrong with her. (Mikaela)

42) If you hear Ironhide complain about rodents or vermin, you know they're not actually rodents or vermin.
-Anything that's smaller than a cow he tends to call rodent or vermin. (Will)
-Mojo, birds, cats, etc. (Mikaela)

43) If you are married or in a serious relationship you have started to think of your partner as a spark mate.
-This can include spark bonded as well. (Mikaela)
-And even though the Autobots still try to convince us it goes so much deeper than a human marriage does. (Will)

44) If someone talks to you and they say anything along the lines of "I heard it from along the grape vine" you know exactly which mechs/femmes might be involved in said grape vine.
-I love the grape vine. It gets me some of the best seats for any pranks. (Sam)

45) You know that a virus for the Cybertronians is EXTREMELY serious, so you avoid using it in any context.
-I once told Bumblebee that Sam had a virus before I knew better. He took out Ironhide, Sunstreaker, Jazz, and Optimus to get to Sam, on accident. He even faced down Judy. (Maggie)

46) You know for a fact that every Cybertronian on this planet is probably older than Earth, and you give them all human ages to relate to.
-Like Bumblebee would count as a teenager. (Sam)
-Or you use the number of years they've been on Earth to avoid any awkward questions. (Glen)

47) You're not afraid at all that you'll be stepped on or squashed by an Autobot.

48) You no longer think that anything the Cybertronians do as weird, and just accept it all.
-And sometimes you think human customs are a bit weird now because of them. (Maggie)

49) You're close enough to some of the Autobots that you've actually been given the privilege of seeing one of their sparks.

50) You know who to give a message to concerning any prank ideas, or where to go if it's a mass pranking.
-They hold meetings? (Mikaela)
-Yeah, Prowl's been trying to find out where for forever now. (Sam)

51) You've gotten a tattoo of the Autobot insignia or drawn it on yourself.

52) You know that while some Autobots never say anything they prefer certain humans, or are guardians to certain humans.
-Bumblebee's all mine. But he lets others ride in him 'cuz he's nice. (Sam)
-Ironhide prefers my family. (Will)
-I need to get me an Autobot. (Glen)
-Me and Jazz got a thing goin' on. We're both cool cats down with good music and good pranks. (Epps)

53) You know better than to come between a Guardian and their Charge.
-Never tease Ironhide about him with Annabelle. You will have a cannon shoved in your face. (Will)
-Ha, I was one of the people who staged a fake kidnapping on Sam to watch Bumblebee freak out. (Epps)
-Epps, I seriously hate you. (Sam)

54) You know even Optimus hates Galloway.
-He told me he was reconsidering "never harm humans" because of him after a little too much high grade one night. (Epps)
-Even humans want to harm him. We get dibs first because he's of our species. (Will)

55) You hear "recharge" and immediately think "sleep".

56) You relate high grade energon to alcohol because of the affects it can have on a 'bot.
-Ever seen Prowl with too much high grade? One of the best nights of my life. (Sam)

To be continued.


Optimus laughed, "At least they're being creative with it."

Ratchet nodded, "I'm surprised even Maggie joined in."
