Bits and Pieces
Disclaimer: I own nothing, even though I may really want to.
Summary: Five facts each about the Mini-cons and their opinions after their awakening.
Warnings: Slight bot/human, bot/bot relationships mentioned. Slash and het. Don't like, don't read.

=3---=3---=3---

Leader-1:

1.) Despite what everyone seems to think, it's his choice to be Megatron's Mini-con. He's seen the inside of the warlord's mind, and knows how scared he is sometimes.

2.) That fat human's offer to be friends did not fall on deaf audios. Perhaps he'll take him up on that offer if he lives long enough.

3.) The silver mech wasn't always silver. He used to be dark blue, once upon a time.

4.) Swindle pisses him off to no end. If he didn't know Starscream would crush him, Leader-1 would love to smash in the racer's face.

5.) The other Mini-cons rarely speak to him. Blackout tries, but Leader-1 gets so bored with him that he just walks away mid-sentence at times without even feeling guilty.

=3--=3---=3---

Crumplezone:

1.) To the drill, Cyclonus is insane, but fun. He hasn't threatened him yet, and the Mini-con has a feeling he won't have to for a while.

2.) That one time they chased those fleshies underground, Crumplezone loved looking about the caves and passages. It's what he was built for on Cybertron and on Earth it was so easy to get turned around in an adventure you'd never expect.

3.) He can't get drunk. He's tried six dozen times and it's impossible for his vision to blur, or a light buzz to befall his circuits.

4.) He recharges in Cyclonus' subspace pocket. It's dangerous at times, but it's so warm

5.) The Autobot's Mini-medic Long Arm attracts him. He's just a little cutie that makes Crumplezone's spark flutter and flicker.

Bonecrusher:

1.) At times, he can remember being worshipped in that desert landscape. For at least two-hundred years, ancient humans thought he was a god and asked him to grant the strangest wishes and he misses that.

2.) Demolisher would have been better as a master, in his opinion. Megatron was way too controlling.

3.) Blackout is the one and only mech he has ever had the semblance of a crush on. He'd never find out, of course, but the grey one tries as often as possible to make him feel appreciated.

4.) Sometimes he wishes he was a tank and not a crane. His arm always gets in the way and he breaks way too many things for his comfort.

5.) The color yellow looks good on him. It softens his darker outline and makes him feel happy, for reasons he can't entirely explain.

=3---=3---=3---

Inferno:

1.) He's a suck up, and he doesn't even care. It helps him get to where he needs to go and that's fine by him.

2.) He is very aware that his face looks like that of an Earth bird, and woe is it to those who try to make fun of him for it. He'll deck people who make fun of his partner's head, let alone his own physicality.

3.) The green tactician's Mini-con is always sure to keep everyone far, far away from Thrust's room when he and Tidal Wave are engaged in…. how should he put it, um, compromising positions.

4.) He can be nice. If he wants to live, sometimes he has to play sweet and innocent. It's creepy and disgusting on so many levels and all the other Mini-cons automatically think he's drunk when he does play nice, but he can do it.

5.) He has been bitten, shot, burned, stabbed and poisoned. Yet, he lives. Maybe Primus likes him?

=3---=3---=3---

Ramjet:

1.) Yes, it is true that his partner is a phenomenal moron, but the jet still likes him. He's sort of like what the humans call a puppy, and Ramjet thinks that to be awesome.

2.) He so wants a seagull for a pet. They're so cute! And they seem to really like basting mechs he doesn't like with their used excrement.

3.) That thing that female humans do in cages in certain buildings would be a perfect job for him! All he'd have to do is rock his hips to and fro, remove pieces of his armor and wait for other bots to hand him credits. As sweet would that be?

4.) This whole thing with the Decepticons on the Moon would be so worth the trouble if the little flyer could find buried treasure. He'd split it with the others…. Possibly.

5.) Star Wars was the worst thing he'd ever seen. And that's on top of millions of years of war back on Cybertron and the one year on Earth…. Well, maybe not the year on Earth. That was bad. Tidal Wave actually got hurt on this planet, so that says a lot.

=3---=3---=3---

Blackout:

1.) He knows his alt mode is basically useless. But he makes up for it as well as he can. What he lacks in strength, he makes up in personality.

2.) He's only seen the Autobot Mini-con, Sureshock, from yards away, never spoken to him, but is a little in love with the scooter. He knows the orange mech managed to escape right out of Sideways' hand and he has a human for a Bulk. That's it. Oh, and Swindle likes him, too. Now he'll never get a shot at love at first sight…. Triple sigh.

3.) The tracker loves Demolisher like a brother or a best friend. He's sweet and has never hurt him, emotionally or otherwise. The perfect Bulk.

4.) He likes the human internet, but is very careful looking up anything about love. It either leads to pictures of humans and other creatures mating or goes with the philosophy angle. Both of which makes him sick.

5.) Privately, in the far reaches of his mind, he hopes the Autobots win the war. He's ashamed of it, but really, if they win, everyone wins. The Decepticons just don't know it yet.

=3---=3---=3---

Swindle:

1.) His mind has never been tampered with, by any of the Decepticons. He's strong willed and hot-headed all on his own.

2.) At least five of the other Mini-cons on the Moon base have picked a fight with him and made advances towards him, at the same time! That's a real confidence booster.

3.) When he and Screamer were with the Autobots, the other Mini-cons ignored him, like he was carrying a Transformer type plague. All except one. That orange one with big arms and gentle voice, that belonged to the female squishy. He would always be grateful for that.

4.) He goes to Mirage whenever he's on base, for a race about the track the blue Mini-con had been found on. The other obliges, but sometimes regrets doing so. Swindle almost always wins and gets dust and debris all over him. And the red racer never bathes afterwards.

5.) He can sing any country song that's presented to him. He never does it when anyone else is around, though. Primus knows he'd never live down the humiliation. Mech like him should be singing rock and heavy-metal, not stuff listened to 75% of the time by females. Starscream would snatch his voice-box right out. At least, as far as he knows.
