Summary
Elita-1 and her team are the last Autobots on Cybertron. They've been barely surviving for four million years between scarce resources, storms of acid rain, the constant threat of Shockwave and his drones, and the sudden resurgence of cosmic rust. Their only solace is that the war is over and that all the Decepticons, save Shockwave, are dead.
But when Chromia intercepts a Decepticon frequency, they not only find that Megatron and his army are still alive, but that Optimus Prime and the Autobots are as well.
And they must get to them before Shockwave does.

Summary
Three Sentence Ficathon prompt - Any, Any, catching an inconvenient cold (Admittedly I got carried away so it's rather more than a cold...)
Engine knocks are one thing. Weird crystals growing in your system are another, and Deadlock and 'Doom rapidly realise that High Command are happy to leave them out high and dry with no help coming.
Good thing it's not just up to High Command.

Transformers Isolated: The Cybertron Chronicles by Phantom1c

Summary
Hello! You probably found this through my reddit page/subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Transformers_Isolated/). If so, you'd know the gist of Transformers Isolated, and that all the cool characters are dead. But what happened to them? Many things happened to many bots, and that's what The Cybertron Chronicles aims to tell. This is a prequel to Isolated, and will be written as an anthology, with each chapter being centered around a different event/character/group. I plan to make the actual Transformers Isolated a comic series, but The Cybertron Chronicles being short stories are perfect for text-only storytelling. Anyway, I hope you enjoy! Oh, and I'll try to keep it in chronological order, but I'm making zero promises.
