Somehow, I do not believe you.

How? Medical dramas are the best thing going for this planet. And, having a doctor who ain't human seems interesting to me.

I have far more interest in actiony things. Doctors are creepy and slightly boring but pirates are never dull.

[ Actiony things, eh? Thundercracker puts a hand to his chin, and he hmmms. ]

An actiony medical drama? I think we can do that, and I'm sure there would be room for pirates! [ The idea sounded better than what he had planned already. Of course, this is why he needed to get that agent and an editor. ]

Perhaps the doctors could be pirates on the side. I get they're creepy but pirates ain't exactly the most pleasant sort either.

Pirates are wonderful, just as long as you meet them one at a time. A gaggle of pirates can be very unsettling if they aren't on your crew, but then, they wouldn't be pirates if they were the relaxing sort, now would they?

But I have never heard of a pirate doctor. Doesn't that go against some doctor code?

[ He memorizes everything he's being told, his screenplay is going to be the best that planet Earth has ever saw. Shakespeare and James Cameron don't have anything on this brilliant idea. ]

How so? I bet pirates got doctors on those boats to fix them up when they get stabbed. The doctor could be the corrupt sort who never graduated medical school. Besides, who would go poking around you humans for free? You're all gushy and pulpy when you break!

[That's right, listen to Jack, he's got everything all figured out]

The doctor happens to be whoever knows how to sew and handles the bone saw the right way. Sometimes that happens to be myself, though I vastly prefer being Captain.

Well I hear some people get some kind of enjoyment out of that. 'Fulfilling' and 'rewarding' experiences saving the life of a squishy gushy pulpy person.

I wouldn't know, I'm far better at taking things apart, I've learned.

[ Mmmmm, maybe he might scrap that original medical drama for something far better. Of course, the not being human part he should keep, and breaking things was something Thundercracker had done very well. ]

The Captain could have started out as a doctor before he became a pirate. [ He laughed. ] But the not being human part stays. It would add a potential for angst for the later seasons. [

[ He had no knowledge about human anatomy outside of what he had learned from the internet and television, two very scary places for anyone to do reach. ] Same here, but I put that all beside me for now to become a screenwriter.

Perhaps. What would he be if not human though? Can't be a vampire, would make sailing a ship difficult. A werewolf would be difficult too, he'd eat all the crew members. And certainly not a mermaid, since we all know they don't have legs.

Ah, used to be the hacky slashy rippy sort did you? Well deciding to become a writer is... pleasant. But maybe you could always just become an actor. I'm sure people would pay a lot to see you.

There's other things humans can turn into that ain't a vampire or werewolf. [ He goes with the biggest trope of them all. ] He could be a dragon. [ Such originality! ]

As for being an actor, I need to find myself a good skin suit in order to do that. The rest of this planet ain't exactly fans of my kind, and I don't blame them seeing we blew most of it up.

[ Finding the perfect avatar is a pain in the afterburners. ] At least, I don't have to rely too much on face-to-face interactions as a writer.

So he is a... dragon pirate doctor.

[Dude, seriously?]

Ah, so you went and blew most of it up. Well I have to say I'd be a bit peeved with you as well, I do live here after all.

True, but you'll have to find a giant metal man friendly agent.

Uh, yeah.

[ He thinks it is a brilliant idea. ]

He has a reputation of eating his patients that don't pay him. The authorities got wind of this, so he has to take up a life of piracy in order to keep up with that lavish lifestyle of his.

[ Thundercracker throws his hands up in the air, and he looks pretty damn serious about the world almost being blown up and overtaken by Megatron. ]

Hey! I sacrificed everything I knew to save this damned mudball! Did my kind bring their pointless war here? Yes, they did. Did they make it impossible for me to find an agent that'll work with a robot? Kinda.
