Tyrone and Kirby on...
(Sexuality and language)
Tyrone: My coffee is cold.
Random Sexy Girl: Hey, Tyrone. There's something I've always wanted to give you.
T: Unless what you want to give me is the secret to finding Mu, I suggest that you move your cleavage out of my face.
Kirby: Whoa. You just rejected the hottest Trixie in the university!
(AUTHOR'S NOTE: "Trixie:" a young, usually attractive woman who tries to find a man who will pamper her. Such women are often rather dumb. See: Paris Hilton)
T: I care little for women like her. My coffee is cold.
K: Are you gay?
T: No. In fact, I'm rather irate about being served cold coffee.
K: ... You are so lucky I took Advanced Language and Literature last semester, or I'd be very worried about you...

*Blinks*
That man is more bohemian than Holmes... (I count no fewer than four different females who, in accepted canon, have attracted more than the usual attention from Holmes, two in Doyle's stories, one in a play, and Elizabeth Lestrade from "22nd Century")
I REALLY shouldn't ask, but...
How about Tyrone and Kirby's opinions on drugs, homosexuality, and the voting age?

Tyrone and Kirby on...
(Homosexuality)
Protesting Gay Man: Excuse me, sirs. Would you care to help us fight against current legislat-
Kirby: No, thanks.
PGM: May I ask why not?
K: Well, with AIDS and cancers and starving children and wars and the environment turning bad and terrorists still out there and polititians being complete idiots about it all...
PGM: Yes?
K: Well, helping out a group of people who should already have all the rights of any other citizen of the United States seems kinda... pointless. Sorry.
(Walks away, then says quietly) Besides, Tyrone would kill me for helping out any group that doesn't "further the advancement of the arts and sciences" while I'm out running an errand for him...

Okay...
How about their stance regarding the American legal system?

I had a thought (Thanks to Amanda loaning me volumes of Inu-Yasha and YuYu Hakusho) that might appear later on in my X-Evo stories...
St. John (or just John, if you prefer), Tommy, Kurt, and Amanda Sefton (at least, maybe others.) get thrown through time and space to end up in ancient Japan. When they finally get home, they figure out that their little jaunt actually caused several legends that had become anime/manga...
St. John, or Pyro, can manipulate fire and always carries a lighter in street clothes...
Tommy, Turbo, uses a sword and moves at super speed.
And Kurt's a Half-Demon with a human girlfriend.
Anyone want to guess what they inspired before I say it?
As it would turn out, St. John would inspire Flame of Recca - an anime about a ninja sent through time who could create and manipulate a Flame. (Not as good as the others' reasons, but it works.)
Tommy, of course, fighting with a sword and speed, would be said to use a style that we know as Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu... except unlike the character that would come centuries later, he uses a katana, not a sakubato. (Rurouni Kenshin, in other words)
But the cake-taker is Kurt. Since Evo, like the comics, has Mystique as his mother, I'm gonna assume that his birth-father is still Azazel. In other words, his father is a demon lord, his mother is mortal, he's half-demon (even if he doesn't know it yet) and he's dating a mortal...
And the blue fuzzy elf/oni (eh, it's Japan, people...) pulles a sword out of a rock, a sword that can only be used by a demon to protect a mortal.
That's right, Kurt "Nightcrawler" Wagner would, with Amanda Sefton's help, end up creating a legend that would inspire a manga and anime known as Inu-Yasha.
What do you guys think?

I think you think too much. But while we're on the subject of Japanese mythology:
Consider Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi (Sword of Billowing Clouds), better known as Kusanagi (Grasscutter, or Snake's Blade). One of the three great treasures of Japan, it is said that whomever is in possession of Kusanagi, the Yata no Kagami mirror and Magatama Jewels had the right to claim himself ruler of all Japan.
It is known that Kusanagi resides in the palace of the emperor. It is also known that the sword in the palace may not be the real Billowing Clouds sword, but a well made replica.
What if the real Kusanagi and the other treasures were still out there somewhere, waiting for someone to find them? What would become of Japan in the maddening hunt to find them and claim the Cherry Blossom Throne?
This kinda sounds like a job for an archaeologist, wouldn't you agree?

Sounds like...
"This kinda sounds like a job for an archaeologist, wouldn't you agree? "
"Oh, great, now Megan's got to get all the vehicles BACK out of storage, and Eric's gonna have to come out of his retirement, and Vic and I have to put off our plans, do you know how much trouble you archeologists are? Jones, and Croft, and Anderson..."
(Shamelessly bastardized from a line of McCoy's in the Star Trek novel "Best Destiny")

Possible 'Magnus' Law of Warfare' for Guide entry 18: The 'Skippy List' is not to be used as a guide on how to act.

"What's that?" Cheetor asked, pointing at an image of a dozen Cybertronians; ten of them posing, one being dragged into the picture and the last doing the dragging.
"That? It's the 'family portrait'," Stormmaster answered, "Those were my closest friends and allies back during the Great War. That's me, the black truck-type. The blue guy I've got by the shoulder joint is Overload, he actually thought that because he started as an outsider that he could get out of being in the picture."

"Storm Cannons, ready... FIRE!"
As the leader of this band of renegade Decepticons fired his main weapons, the Autobots looked on. Even Optimus Prime was stunned at the sheer destructive firepower carried by one Cybertronian.
"What are those...?"
"Plasma pulse cannons," one of the Decepticons, a red and gold mobile fortress/tank answered, "Maximum range of fifteen kilometers with an output of thirty-five megawatts."
Prime couldn't believe his audio receptors, "PPCs? That's starship weaponry!"
**==
"It's time to end this, Mega'," Stormmaster said, reaching deep into his programming. Much as Megatron's Fusion Cannon could access a black hole and fire blasts of anti-matter, his own Plasma Pulse Cannons had their own secret...
Shifting his stance, Stormmaster began drawing in electrons and other particles from the air around him, charging them as his shoulder cannons became something far, far more dangerous. Powered by everything around him, Stormmaster was activating a pair of...
"Charged Particle Cannons! Is he NUTS!?"
"Yes."
A single Charged Particle Cannon had an output of two MILLION terawatts, enough to destroy thousands of square kilometers, with the unfortunate side effect that most Cybertronians weren't designed to withstand the full force of such a weapon and were themselves destroyed by it...
And Stormmaster had TWO of them.
(Basically, Megatron uses his Fusion Cannon's anti-matter power source to draw all of the energy of Stormmaster's CPCs into a black hole and nothing happens...)

Turbo's G1 Anatomy Guide:
Central Processer - Brain.
Personality Chip - A TF's personality, the default programming and the resulting changes made by life experiences are encoded on this. As long as a source of power is connected to a Personality Chip, the encoded personality remains intact. (See "Starscream's Brigade")
Energon Tank - Stomach, stores Energon taken into the body shell.
Energon Pump - Heart/Stomach, distributes Energon throughout the body as needed.
Laser Core - A device containing a TF's life energy. If this is lost, the TF is lost irretrievably. While Personality Chips can survive with a simple power flow running through them, if a Cybertronian's Laser Core is terminated, so are they. There are only two ways to create a new Laser Core - by use of a Matrix or Vector Sigma or by one or more Transformers using their own Laser Core energy. (Usually a femme and a mech do so in the process of creating an offspring, but there is at least five recorded cases of two mechs doing so - those cases being the five Dinobots.)
(NOTE: This is NOT, say again, NOT to be confused with a Spark.)

"I am Blastzone... I am Inferno... I am... ARTFIRE!"
(Blastzone's past revealed.
Artfire, for those who don't know, is the Japanese exclusive Targetmaster repaint of G1 Inferno, who BW Inferno carries the name of. I thought it would be a funny little in-joke. Ironic thing is that until this point, I had known that Blastzone had been Inferno, but I didn't know who Inferno had been...)

There is a time for all things,
A time for sorrow, (Cheetor and Stormmaster, re: Airrazor)
and a time for joy, (The splitting of Tigerhawk's spark returns Athena's memories)
A time for regret (Stormmaster and Thunderwing are forced to leave Onslaught and the Combaticons behind.)
and a time for renewal (Bruticus and his componants leave Megatron's forces.)
...just thinking...

Hm...
Razorclaw, Tantrum and Headstrong as the Tripredicus Council? (makes sense since they're the original Predacons, better than the BW Tripredicus gestalt members or the Triple-changers...)
Rampage is Rampage, and let's face it, Divebomb wouldn't be part of it since he barely tolerates his teammates.
With the new Primes tearing the Maximal Elders apart metaphorically and the two Predacons doing so to their former gestalt-mates literally, this would set the stage for the next age of Cybertron...
