    Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types  

    04 Dec 2023

    Tags
    Summary

    Cybertron is on the brink of a civil war led by The scourge of the topside, Megatron, and his expanding number of Decepticons.
    The ruling government stands over him from behind a wall and he only revels in their hatred of him. He has acquired those that share his contempt for the ruling government. Iacon is his newest front and he will stop at nothing till he acquires it all.
    His advisor, Shockwave a newcomer to his collective force, enforced with a scientific mind and strong resolutions. He seeks to bring aid to Megatron through the tactical advisor, Starscream...

    While the elegant machine of Cybertron continues onwards, Megatron is pulled into a deeper plot that goes beyond revolution, a winding path that ends when the war leaves the planet.

    (A Starscream, Megatron, Shockwave-centered story set during the uprising and the end of Cybertron separated by acts.)

    Summary

    As Ratchet steps into the world of politics, his world is turned upside down by an arranged marriage to the newest Prime. The senate has cornered him there to keep him quiet and to keep a tab on him, but it backfires on them as Ratchet, despite his best efforts, finds himself falling in love with his new mate, and they become quite the team.

    This was inspired by a one-shot from a phenomenal author, you can find them here: DesdemonaKaylose, and the story at https://archiveofourown.org/works/30058605/chapters/74023971.

    Optimus Prime was created to be a weapon
    He was created to slay whatever was in his path, for glory and honor.
    So it’s quite troubling when he’s demoted to a space bridge repair crew after ‘The Incident’
    Now he must navigate his new crew and the unique personalities they come with. And maybe figure out how to heal along the way with the help of some unexpected faces. Maybe the great Autobot cause wasn’t all it’s cracked out to be

    The Singer by

    Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers: Prime  

    19 Feb 2021

    Tags
    Summary

    Everyone knows that the Singer is a Seeker blessed by Primus to sing songs that predict the future and guide the present.

    It is too bad no one can seem to unravel his meaning.
    Or so Megatronus has been told. He is starting to suspect some willful ignorance on the behalf of his fellow Councillors.


    "What was his name again?" he asks, his optics pinned to the fiery ones in front.

    The councillor next to him shrugs, hardly paying the song any mind. "Starscream."

    Or, Megatronus finds himself entangled in the mess of corruption that is Cybertron, and finds an ally in a bitterly fierce Seeker who can only speak in song.

    Summary

    Disillusioned by his leader’s growing mania and unkept promises, Soundwave abandons his role as Megatron’s most loyal. Seeking purpose and evading Autobots and Decepticons alike, he’s drawn into an unlikely partnership with a human detective.

    Or: a young woman whose only knowledge of Transformers consists of half-baked memories of an old G1 cartoon, the occasional wiki search, and sporadic YouTube shorts finds herself in the Aligned-verse after being murdered. She makes this everybody’s problem.

    Summary

    A transformers gender-neutral reader insert.

    (Y/N) was a normal human with the normal, boring everyday routine that any archivist would have. But what if one day, that changed? What if accepting a quest from a strange robotic being from your dreams wasn't as such good idea as you thought? What if you're not entirely comfortable with being a robot half the time, and does it matter at this point? Just how dangerous is being curious going to be? And why do you STILL have to go to work after all this?

    This is an original Transformers reader insert fic that is not based in any of the pre-established universes, but is heavily inspired by a combination of the continuities.

    The Spark that Resides in His Core by

    Fandoms: Transformers One (2024)  

    02 Dec 2024

    Tags
    Summary

    Megatron, new to leadership, anticipated betrayal from those above him, rejecting any leadership in all its forms save his own. He had not yet learned to anticipate betrayal from those beneath him.

    Optimus found his former friend, looking as he did when they were miners, cog ripped from his chassis and empty once more.

    As Optimus hides Megatron away while he heals, they both struggle to face the limits of strength, the burdens of leadership, their roles in the new age of Cybertron, a shared past that still draws them towards one another, the circumstances that forced them apart - and a somewhat inconvenient difference in size.

    Summary

    Rodimus and his friends move into a student boarding house called Lost Light and start university. Decepticon activist Megatron has roughly the same idea. This causes no tension among his group whatsoever.

    Soon, they will experience how much university can kick one's aft, but that will be the least of their problems. The fact that nobody seems to be mentally stable only adds to the problems.

    Bluestreak's (Totally-Not-Decepticon) PenPal by

    Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers Generation One  

    29 Jun 2025

    Summary

    Bluestreak is lonely. It's hard, being one of the only Praxians left. His adoptive creators try their best to be with him, but Jazz and Prowl are busy running the war, and the Decepticons aren't making it any easier.

    But then, while recovering from some injuries, he gets a strange--and wonderful--message that another Praxian wants to exchange data-letters with him! Finally, he can have a steady friend and someone that will understand what it's like to have lost you entire home.

    And his new penpal totally isn't Thundercracker, who isn't also painfully lonely and feeling particularly doubtful about the Decepticon cause. No, no, it's not Thundercracker, because that would be ridiculous. Right?

    Summary

    With a new frame, new alt-modes, and even a new designation, Knock Out is smuggled onboard the Lost Light, a massive starship captained by Rodimus Prime in his quest to locate the remaining Lightbearers (and maybe the Knights of Cybertron, too, while he’s at it). Integrating himself into the Autobot team of Unit E had been difficult for Knock Out, but fitting in with Rodimus Prime’s band of merry misfit mechs will prove to be an even greater challenge as he and the crew of the Lost Light barrel blindly into space in hopes of finding the Light before the Darkness sets in.

    Summary

    The Autobots left on Cybertron get word that the Ark survived. It means more to some of them than others.

    “It’s possible,” Elita said, twenty astroseconds in, like they didn’t both know it was the hope that killed you. She’d rallied. Chromia didn’t know whether or not that was a good thing. “The attack came while they were cycling up to jump. They could have gone anywhere.”

    Summary

    Facing trial and the likely end of his life, Starscream accepts the offer to tell the story of his life in a last attempt to sway the sparks of the jury in his favor. The overthrown leader of Cybertron reflects on his tumultuous past, beginning with the night he was left on the steps of the Academy as a newborn sparkling, to the night he took command of the Decepticon seekers in the birth of a vicious civil war, and the journey that led him to become the leader of his people. Starscream may be a gifted valedictorian, a groundbreaking scientist, a fearless commander, and a god to his followers, but, as he realizes through his story, he has also been a friend, a lover, and an enemy of many.
