lol, yep, sparkling fic totally won't be coming from this direction :P (which reminds me, there should be more Technobot genfic, because they're so interesting! I mean, how do they cope with Grimlock giving up his intelligence, and with their creator being a Dinobot, and with being thrown into combat almost as soon as they come online. I have an inordinate fondness for Nosecone :P)

I can just imagine Grapple and Hoist as creators, it'd be hilarious and adorable :D

I'm mulling over the Grapple/Hoist architecture porn, and I have a few ideas brewing. I'll have a go as soon as something solidifies!
