Some of them are civilian Transformers. There are any number of civilians that fled Cybertron to hide on other worlds.
Er, he's not a civilian he's a Decepticon. There's also and Autobot Toaster named Toast. I'm sure there are civilian toasters as well. Breaking character, I have the action figure for the guy in that commercial.
My neighbor has finally decided to behave and keep the noise down. I won't go into details, but he's afraid of me now.
Yes and yes. I tried to get him to turn his music down at 11PM, and his dumb drunk ass informed me that because he'd been here longer, he'd do whatever the hell he wanted on his night off, and to go *squee!* myself. It was at that point I informed him that by keeping me awake, he was interfering with my job, and that I was willing and able to do whatever it took to protect my livelihood. Thinly veiled threats of violence are a specialty of mine.
That's the thing about veiled threats. Since no direct threat is made, there's no opportunity for legal repercussions. It's all about tone and body language. Somebody who knows what they're doing can make someone fear for their life simply by saying "Good morning."
I think physical size probably plays into it; speak softly and carry a big stick and all that. Doubt I could successfully intimidate a squirrel x3 Still... provided it doesn't backfire, sounds like a job well done.
Physical size helps, but it's not everything. I've seen little old ladies that could intimidate grown men twice their size. The real key is fearlessness.
