That's right, you've officially seen the limitless boundaries of my boredom. I have Sims Unleashed, and I used it to torture poor Megatron, Soundwave and Starscream. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), I have never found Transformer skins. So they ended up having to look human. I tried to get their look and attire as close to their colors as possible. Megatron ended up looking like an older man (like in his 50's) with grayish hair and a business suit. Soundwave looks like a postal worker. It was the only dark blue outfit that had pants. (I refuse to give any of the Decepticons shorts). Funny enough, I didn't notice it when I first picked his head (as the heads were looking straight at me), but I later discovered that Soundie has a ponytail- Starscream was a classic. His outfit wasn't the greatest, but I was able to find a red shirt with a white sweatshirt underneath and jeans. It was his face! I never noticed this face before, but when I saw it, I knew it was Starscream. The face looks psychotic, with eyes bugging out and everything! It's all too perfect for a whiny, evil guy who's likely to try to assassinate Megatron in any given moment.

The initial plan was to adopt a black cat (Ravage), two birds (Laserbeak and Buzzsaw) and adopt two children (Rumble and Frenzy). To this day I'm not sure what to do about Ratbat. There aren't exactly any adoptable bats- but anyway, I digress.

Ravage, Laserbeak and Buzzsaw were adopted simultaneously. Ravage was a black cat, and Laserbeak and Buzzsaw were lovebirds. Not even a day (in Sims time) later, I get a message on the bottom right-hand corner of my screen-telling me that Ravage ate Laserbeak and Buzzsaw!! He just climbed onto the table, stuck a paw into their cage and ate them! I was mortified! Talk about sibling rivalry! I tried to get Soundwave to punish Ravage, but it wasn't an option.

I wanted Megatron to go into politics, Soundwave to be a computer hacker and Starscream to be in the military. Unfortunately, for a while the only choices for jobs were dog walkers, science test subject, daredevil and hacker. I made Starscream and Soundwave become hackers with the intention of changing Starscream's job as soon as the opportunity arose. However, Starscream was promoted almost immediately, and Soundwave remained stagnant. Eventually, I switched Soundwave's job to medical technician (since he does have the ability to fix things) and Megatron finally became a politician. Frightening note - Soundwave was recently promoted to nurse. He later "took bedside manners too far and was involved in a hospital scandal" costing me $500 in fines. Money was tight then and it was not a good time for Soundwave to come out of the closet and become Casanova in the hospital room.

Ravage became the cat from Hell. He would bite Megatron, hiss at Starscream and use the floor as a litter box. Although he did allow Soundwave to pet him, if Soundwave tried to pick him up or hug him, Ravage wouldn't hesitate to scratch.

Soundwave developed a very strange hobby of making lawn gnomes. Megatron and Starscream didn't seem to like them too much, but Soundwave adored them. He would make two or three in one sitting. I would put his little gnomes outside by the door. Unfortunately, for reasons that I will explain later, the little guys didn't have long life spans.

Despite some of the weird-quirks that some of them have, their personalities on the whole were similar to their robotic counterparts. Soundwave and Megatron were buddies, while Starscream didn't get along well with either of them. Soundwave and Megatron go to work and come back at the same times (although they have different jobs), Starscream works at night.

Eventually, all three of them were promoted to the point where they had to make two friends in order to progress any further. Because of Megatron's high "Outgoing" and "Charisma" level, I had designated him the "friend magnet." So with that in mind, I had him call one of my other created characters, Prince. Well, Prince came over and the two started talking. I then made the mistake of checking on Starscream and Soundwave, leaving the two alone. When I checked back on Megatron and Prince, they were arguing. A sad face appeared over Prince's head, and he walked away. I thought he was going to leave, but instead he turned and kicked Soundwave's lawn gnomes!!! The lawn gnomes then exploded!!!! I was horrified! So was Soundwave, as he stormed out of the house and started screaming at Prince (in that weird, funky Sims language) and shaking his fist. I thought they were going to fight, but Prince just left. Megatron just stood there and watched everything. When I thought the craziness was over, after Prince left, Megatron walked over to Soundwave and hugged him. (This, I hasten to add, is without my influence, which makes it even more frightening.) Another scary note - Starscream has become buddies with Prince.

Recently, I had Megatron invite another neighbor, a created character named Guile, over for another attempt at friendship. When he came over, the two got along really well. Then, for no reason whatsoever, Guile walked over to Soundwave's newly created lawn gnomes and kicked them!! They too went the way of their brethren and exploded! Soundwave was quick to run out and raise hell, but he didn't seem as upset as he had been the first time and afterwards walked back into the house. Megatron and Guile then continued their discussion as if nothing had happened. Poor lawn gnomes get no love. It's frightening what Sims do when you're not controlling them.

I have yet to adopt Rumble and Frenzy. It will probably take me awhile before I can because money is tight and I don't have enough of it to support two more people. Originally it was supposed to be a joke, but some of the things they did were just too good not to share. Ultimately, I have come to the conclusion that the Transformer Sims universe is the most disturbing.
