#Could have bitch AllSpark making random changes without consideration

[spaztastic-headcannons]

Fun idea: A bit of the All Spark (the tiniest splinter of a shard) embeds in a human. It's still powerful but not nearly as much as a larger chunk would be. The worst this one does is overtime adapt the human to better understand Cybertronians. But somehow it gets missed in surface and casual scans of the body. Maybe mixed in with other shrapnel from whatever launched the piece into the body. Maybe it's sentient enough to know to hide out because fuck this shit, it's been a long war and now it's shattered, wtf.

Let's say you're someone who has come to work with the Autobots and the humans they ally with (this can be almost any universe in the Transformers fandom though I always end up with a pretty fun mix of Bayverse, G1, Prime, and sometimes MTMTE for funsies). And you're going about your business on base, have some headphones on/in bopping along to music or a podcast to make the work easier and time fly by. And suddenly you're picking up weird noises between the music. And over time the weird noises start to sound a lot like the language the Cybertronians might speak to each other. Very concerning! So you report the bugged headphones, turn them in, and leave the experts to figure out if there are weaknesses in the signals and systems that allowed that to happen. could be a fluke! (they're hoping for a fluke....). Headsets and other listening devices all over the base are tested repeatedly, but none of them can repeat the issue that yours does. And even then, over time the issue seems to resolve itself. A sigh of relief as the defunct headphones are destroyed and Red Alert manages to calm down.

Music and headphones return to regular cycle and all is well.

Except you get a replacement set and they start to do the same thing over time but now you're starting to understand what's being said.

It's hard to tell if it's a case of you understanding Cybertronian in Cybertronian or if it's being translated into English. Things feel a bit fuzzy about that.

Once again you report a problem, except now you're under the scrutiny of Red Alert and Ratchet.

This sucks! Especially because now you're picking up some of what they're saying to each other out loud!

End result? You have a shard of the AllSpark and you can understand Cybertronian languages. Yes, all of them.

[Uncertain if I would want to include something like the frequencies are also picked up without headphones and maybe some hurt/comfort/hilarity of trying to figure out how to control them as a human? You're pick]

Could be the fun start of you catching Decepticon frequencies too, like if Ravage was sneaking in on a secret and hidden one and you're the only one to pick it up? Also how would you respond?? You physically cannot make the noises to communicate but maybe you start to be able to read it in text and can message on a specially made phone? Lots of fun directions to take this in!!!
