Summary
A space bridge accident strands both Optimus Prime and Starscream on an unknown planet, filled with mechanical monsters. Once Starscream decides that immediately stabbing Optimus in the back is a bad idea, the two form an uneasy alliance. Just until they can get off this hostile world.
But cooperation breeds grudging appreciation (and even more grudging attraction). Each uncovered secret on this mystery world brings them closer to returning to endless war. Can they keep fighting as if nothing has changed? Or will they take the chance for something new?
Assuming the planet doesn’t deactivate them first.

Summary
As Cybertron rebuilds after its civil war, Ratchet feels like he's losing his touch. But what does it matter when his friends are moving on, his planet is healing, and Optimus is there to keep Chancellor Starscream from violating too many of their people's civil rights. At the end of the day, everything is fine.
Until a mech from Ratchet's past comes to him with a dire warning: Optimus is going to die, and only the two of them can stop it.
