So, here Breakdown is. Settled into his nice little life with his nice little family on this nice little planet. Also there may be an intergalactic war brewing on the horizon, but it's fine. He probably doesn't need to worry about that.
...Now what?

Summary
Their friend disappeared after his noble decision to draw attention away from them and their family.
And yet, they keep seeing him.
(Even if it's not technically "him," rather an arrangement of light particles designed to mimic a human being that he's using to spy on them, but the semantics aren't really important.)

The Off Switch by ApatheticRobots
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers Generation One
16 Feb 2022

Thundercracker has learned over the years that once Starscream gets going on a tirade, it's almost impossible to make him shut up.

Faith and Common Ground by ApatheticRobots
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers: Prime
03 Dec 2021
Tags
Summary
Breakdown had seen enough human holiday movies to know that the most relevant ones tended to happen during the season they called Winter, in the tail end of the calendar year. Usually in the movies there was snow, but they lived in a desert so that didn’t happen here.
Then he had learned about other cultures and their holidays, and then he learned about the fact that the seasons were different on different parts of earth so for some the relevant holidays were in Summer, and then there were people who didn’t celebrate anything, and it was way too confusing so he stopped paying attention.

Cosmos hits an asteroid (or a meteoroid, depending on who you ask) and crash lands on Earth. And he is all the better for it.

some memories so warm by ApatheticRobots for Bayheart
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers Animated (2007)
22 Oct 2021
Tags
Summary
“I expect it’s because he’s a sentimental little fool, and is idealistic enough to believe that familial relationships, no matter what has come between them, should try to be mended. Whether it is to be an incentive or a show of good faith, I can’t exactly say, but I do expect it’s been designed to encourage physical interaction.”
“...Did Optimus set this up so we could hug it out?”
“In layman’s terms? That’s my assumption.”

Some Late Visitor by ApatheticRobots
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers Generation One
20 Oct 2021
Tags
Summary
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.”(For clarity; the chamber is a sunken spaceship, the narrator is a Decepticon warlord, and 'tis Optimus Prime tapping at his door.)

"you're overreacting," and other lies i've been told by ApatheticRobots
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers Generation One
10 Jul 2021
Tags
Summary
Prowl was not petty. He did not bother with trivial things like gossip.
However, he was also not so much of a coward as to go running to Prime the second someone tried messing with him. He could handle a few wayward pranksters. So long as he didn't give them the reaction they wanted so badly, they would soon lose interest, and he could get back to performing his duties.
(Or, Prowl threatens a fellow Autobot with bodily harm, and is completely justified in doing so.)

Risk-Reward Factor by ApatheticRobots
Fandoms: Transformers Generation One, Transformers - All Media Types
05 May 2021
Tags
Summary
Soundwave, being the sane and intelligent mech that he is, is not really in the habit of responding to mysterious messages that find themselves in his inbox. Especially not mysterious messages with mysterious file attachments.
But with this one, the possible pros just so happen to outweigh the theoretical cons.

say you're okay (and mean it) by ApatheticRobots
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers Generation One
07 Apr 2021
Tags
Summary
Megatron has an existential crisis. Starscream is sick and tired of being the only person available to fix a problem.
...That doesn’t mean he’s not still gonna fix it.

we're both guilty of black and white thinking by ApatheticRobots
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers Generation One
14 Mar 2021

Summary
Alright, look, Thundercracker couldn’t say he actually knew what was going on.
But he could assume. Holy slag could he assume. He could make guesses all the live-long day, and here's the thing, he'd probably be correct more often than not. Sure, it was never good to pass judgement without knowing the whole story. But there were only so many times you could catch your sort-of-boss chatting up some pretty-looking mech and very clearly aiming for their panels before you started assuming the worst every time.

i said to you, "why did you do it?" by ApatheticRobots

Summary
Soundwave pays attention.
And he does not like what he sees.

The Sun Comes Out by ApatheticRobots
Fandoms: Transformers: Prime, Transformers - All Media Types
26 Jan 2021
Tags
Summary
The thing about Jasper was that it was small. There were maybe a hundred people living there, tops, and being out in the middle of the desert didn’t exactly put them in a prime position for exciting events. So like with any small town, when something noteworthy did happen, it was the only thing anybody talked about.
And the only thing anyone was talking about today was the shiny red convertible that had just rolled in.

surprise adoption (but not in the way you're thinking) by ApatheticRobots
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers: Prime
26 Jan 2021
Tags
Summary
"...I wanted to see what the big deal was. This place is so much different than the rest of Jasper and everything else here is boring, so I was trying to find out what’s so special about it.”
Huh. Well, the fact that they stood out probably wasn’t good, but he could bring that up with Knock Out later. “So you thought spying on me would be the best way to do that?”
“I dunno, man. Not like I’ve got anything better to do.”

idealism sits in prison (chivalry fell on his sword) by ApatheticRobots for Bayheart

24 Jan 2021
Tags
Summary
It wasn’t actually that difficult getting visitation rights to Trypticon, even given the prisoner he was trying to see being at such a high security level.
(Or, after the confrontation on Earth and the Decepticons' subsequent imprisonment, Ratchet pays his family a visit.)

Different views on learning new things from two very different people, and a discussion regarding the strange contradictions of humanity's tolerance for the unknown.

How to Break Your Conjunx Out of Car Jail (a guide by Breakdown of Velocitron ft. Miko Nakadai of Earth) by ApatheticRobots
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers: Prime
05 Jan 2021
Tags
Summary
Miko gets kidnapped, but it's fine, because the guy who's kidnapping her doesn't want to hurt her or anything. He just needs her help getting his husband out of jail. He'd do it himself, but he's a giant robot truck, so he can't exactly walk up to the guy at the impound lot and hand over his license and registration, and unfortunately she's the only human he knows that he doesn't think will immediately turn him over to the other giant robot trucks (and cars, and motorcycles, etc.).
Wait, what?
