    Summary

    Predictably, Megatron’s trial ends in disaster, especially for Optimus Prime who's captured by the Decepticons and whisked across the galaxy to Chaar during their escape. Now a prisoner of war in the Decepticon capital itself, escape seems almost impossible - and the close attention Megatron has been paying him is more than a little… confusing. But what does the Decepticon Emperor want from Optimus? Will Optimus manage to escape… Or will he not want to?

    Summary

    “I was an archivist, before all of this.” He answers, ignoring Rodimus’ surprise as he hesitates, for a bare moment. “Are you sure?”
    “When am I ever not sure?” Rodimus says with a snort, something more like his usual fire filling him up with a sudden brightness as he holds out a servo to shake, an offering and a second chance and everything he ever could’ve hoped for. “Welcome aboard the Lost Light.”
    Orion takes it.

    Summary

    Deadlock, Gunner. It's his name and his mecha class all in one, even if there aren't many Gunner subtypes left. A mission that was supposed to be a one-and-done goes sideways, mostly because of someone being a petty little shit, Starscream, but - maybe it'll work out?

    Summary

    “Nice shot, man!” Jazz yells, Bebop’s speakers carrying his voice.

    The mech blinks at him and scowls. Which, wow, okay, it has a face. Mouth, eyes, a nose—the works. Well, one of the eyes isn’t lit up, but still. It can blink! Jazz couldn’t even get the clearance to have Bebop’s visor display emojis, and not for the lack of trying. Meanwhile, this guy gets a whole, expressive face and—holy shit, are those teeth?

    ———

    Inspired by the wonderful AU keferon's cooked up. Go check them out on tumblr.

    Summary

    Facts are facts. But sometimes assumptions can be mistaken for facts. And bad data leads to incorrect conclusions.
