gonna put a twist on it and base it in the future where you can have flying ships etc (like the junk ship at the beginning of the fifth element). Its more to alleviate my worry of what practical uses a junk ship would be to the autobots or decepticons. Maybe its disguise would be for espionage in a near future where eastern culture has intermingled more with western culture (a little like the idea in firefly/serenity).
Have I got enough cliche ties yet????
