I see a few fics (mostly on fanfiction.net), that mention sparklings...
Is this a fandom term for kids, or was it mentioned in one of the series?
--Sorry to ask, but I only caught some of TF:Cybertron, and am woefully outta touch for non G1 & BW/ BM. |

As a Gater, Scaper, B5er, Trekekr, etc, I know fandom coins phrases, but just kinda curious as to the origin of this one. Esp since TF repro seems to bounce all over as to the...er...manner of it. | |

How did that happen? | I always thought little Trans kids were called scraplets, but sparklings would be a neato term to use as well. Like we know of kids and children, there's sparkings and...umm, scraplets?
Or maybe scraplets was the term for Mini-Cons and other small Trans. Aw well, it can't really matter that much, the direct term
Remember kids, always do your research | |

I've never heard of sparklings used before, I have heard protoform and protoling used though.
