Summary
After a raging house party, Megatron wasn't exactly in the state of mind to think past his hangover.
Fortunately for him, Ravage has his back, and after a positive pregnancy test (and the return of a few drunken memories), the night catches up to him.
Meanwhile, the Pax family is without an heir, and, bastard or not, Alpha Trion is not one to let an opportunity go to waste.
Or
The road to hell is paved with noble intentions, but maybe, just maybe, love could pull Megatron and Optimus off that path

Summary
Cybertron has been under the rule of the Primes since time-immemorial. The position has always been passed from creator to creation, ensuring a continuous semi-divine lineage. Until the day that Orion Pax is chosen by the Matrix of Leadership to be its next bearer. From one cycle to the next, a new dynasty is declared to be ruling Cybertron, and Optimus Prime is hailed as their new supreme ruler.
Orion has never been blind to how their society's caste system can often cause more harm than good. He'd hoped to be able to change things with his newfound power, but quickly realizes that the Senate and the priests hold much more sway over his life than he'd expected. There's also whatever is happening with his consorts, who act like their new life is anything but wanted.
-
Primes traditionally have harems composed of bots from the high-castes of various city states, called their consorts. Allegedly, this is a very desirable position - a cushy life with no worries, their only duty continuing the Prime's lineage. What the people of Cybertron don't know is that the position of consort is more akin to that of a hostage than a real partner. Optimus Prime is also unaware. His consorts are not.

Echoes of Loyalty Part 1; Twilight by Corvix_Ailuranthrope_4313

Summary
Hello there, I had been reading some Transformer Fanfiction and had found Soundwaves’ Secret, I loved it, a Female Soundwave who was thought to be Male all this time, I liked the idea but decided to pull my own spin on it, I want to make something that explains why this Soundwave is so loyal to Megatron from the beginning to the end as long as I am able or willing, this will be taking parts from G1 and its comic continuity, Fall of Cybertron, and from Transformers Prime to create my own storyline following the main points only, some dialogue may be similar but its my own take on a combination of the three, Like or Dislike I do not care but please give constructive criticism, I’m always looking for ways to improve, I own none of these fine segments of the Transformers franchise, they are all owned by whoever holds the reigns at the moment, please enjoy to your heart's content.

This is the road to ruin (but we started at the end!) by Lumicrystalline
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers: Prime, Transformers Generation One

Summary
Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp are some of the first decepticons on Cybertron. Starscream's not in it for all the right reasons, but he is in it, and a new world order would suit him just fine if he could rise to the top of it. His lofty plans are for nothing. Starscream and his trine never come back from a mission and are assumed dead, hunted down by the autobot council.
It is a surprise, then, to find them frozen in stasis three million years later, after the explosion of the great war and the fall of Cybertron. The decepticon cause has changed around them, and so have Megatronus and Orion Pax.
OR
The area was swarming with autobots-- where was he?-- and Starscream, hiding, searched desperately for a familiar face. He tugged on the trine bond, but no one tugged back. The connection felt dead.
There! In the distance, Starscream spotted a familiar boxy frame, the red and blue paintjob shining bright against dull, faded glacier.
Primus, that's Megatronus's mech! Starscream thought. Orion Pax was little else-- he wasn't even a decepticon, only some wishy-washy affiliate, and he couldn't fight because he didn't believe in harming so much as a scraplet. What is he doing here?

An Archivist's Spark by Goofy_Boss

21 May 2025
Tags
Summary
When sent to the mines of Kaon to deliver and receive reports from one of the overseers, Orion Pax has a brief encounter that would tip the scales of his fate. When he picks up the lone datapad the Miner dropped, the young Data Clerk starts to take fate into his own servos—even if it means turning away from everything he knew.
Even if it means cutting himself free from what should have been a safe and secure life.
Even if it means abandoning his responsibility to Ultra Prime in favor of lending a helping servo to the Miner turned Gladiator turned Revolutionary, because the words written by the mech who would become Megatron has long since touched Orion’s spark in a way no other mech has.Not even then one he’s been promised to for millions of stellar cycles.

Fizzle by postapocalyptic_cryptic
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, The Transformers (IDW Generation One)
17 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
The people of Petrex were very set in their ways, and the ones who didn’t change their minds fast enough perished in the bombing. Prowl doesn’t miss it, or them. He doesn’t miss the stares, the rumors that came with being different, being defective. The whispers that that mech just wasn’t right, that the tacnet had been a bad idea, that there was no use for a mech like that and building him that way had been cruel, proof that the government couldn’t be trusted to do the work of Primus. Then came the war, and suddenly Prowl was the most useful mech in the province. Suddenly, his defect meant something.
Prowl works himself to a breaking point.

Chances of Survival by accursedelf
Fandoms: The Transformers (IDW Generation One), Transformers - All Media Types

Summary
Since Luna-1, no one knows what to do about Pharma. The rogue doctor awaits his pending fate in a makeshift cell on the Lost Light, with his wings bound and alt-mode restricted. After the apocalyptic events of Dark Cybertron, Pharma doesn’t expect he’ll survive to trial. Even Megatron’s fate has been put on hold until Prime and the Autobots salvage some kind of legal system. In the interim, the Lost Light remains grounded. Injured and infirm bots overrun the med bay team. Since Rodimus won’t depart Cybertron until their ship, crew, and allies are up and running, Ratchet suggests they put their captive surgeon to work. First Aid is less than pleased.
For his part, Pharma never thought he’d join a quest. He knows he won’t last long once his past–and the D.J.D.–catches up with him. It’s only a matter of time.

Summary
Summary: Skyfire's tough day at work takes a turn for the wicked when Starscream steps into his office and reports for detention.
Excerpt: Starscream hunched his wings, sinking lower in his chair. Part of him wanted to hide, or flee, and he couldn't help but wonder how far Skyfire planned on taking this little game. That flicker of uncertainty was always part of the thrill.

Numb Little Bug by MerlinFromBerlin
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers: Prime
21 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
The feeling was already there when it became aware of life for the first time.
It was eternally graceful and wise.
The feeling would still be there long after its awareness of life had faded for the last time.
It was eternally graceful and cruel.
Or: When Primus created a newspark to save the life of its Prime, he did not expect his little puppet to survive its first mission. However, when the sparkling is surprisingly saved through the capable servos of a certain, grumpy medic, the god is not opposed either. Instead, he recognizes this as his opportunity to influence and ultimately end the War on Cybertron through his creation—no matter the cost.
Or, put more crassly: A retelling of Transformers Prime with Bumblebee as Primus’ puppet.
