Summary
Sometimes, characters being born later can lead to much larger changes in the universe around them. Now four sparklings who know nothing but slavery and misery are ready to put their escape plan into motion. It's a shot in the dark, and it's their only hope. Luckily for them, the Autobots are more than willing to help.
The sparklings' names? Megatron, Soundwave, Shockwave and Starscream.Or: you know those series in which little children have a terrible abusive childhood, and then get rescued and proceed to be cute, enjoy life, build a family and kick their former abusers' asses? It's that plot but the children are the Decepticon high command. No, seriously.

Summary
The war is over. Autobots and Decepticons are working together to re-build Cybertron. And Elita finds the time to share some important news with the friends that stuck with her for millions of vorns.
Mindless fluff for the G1 Femme Autobot team. Set during chapter 21 of "Life Always Finds A Way (It's That Way Or The Highway)", Part 1 of this series, so spoilers for the ending of the main story and it will not make much sense if you have not read that one!Series

Summary
It is a well-known fact that in a Functionist world, very small bots with a recording item alt-mode are not very appreciated, especially if their root-mode is a Beastcon. Either they are kept as tools or pets for the bigger bots, or they can try surviving on scraps without getting caught and sold. Ravage, Rumble, Frenzy and Soundwave know this very well, but Soundwave's latest find could change everything for them...

Summary
Starscream might be sparked and on medical leave (or whatever they are calling it now that the war is over, he guesses) but he is definitely able to deal with a simple recognition mission on a useless little desert planet. Even if he has to tolerate the Protectobots coming along, at least those five are not on the list of most annoying Autobots. What's the worst that could happen?
When First Aid complained to Ratchet that he wanted more medical experience with no supervision, he did not mean “dealing with the first sparkling emergence in millions of vorns while stuck on an abandoned base in the middle of a magnetic storm”.
Also, Blades should have shut up five sentences ago.

A World Full of Liars (is a Wonderful World) by cactuswitharaygun

Summary
In a continuity just slightly to the left, our beloved characters' roles are quite similar to the ones we are used to...
OR ARE THEY?!
Everyone is lying. Everyone has a secret. Everyone is scrambling to keep it under wraps.
In this great conspiracy pile-up, the fate of Cybertron itself might be at stake - but hey, no pressure! I am sure they will deal with it like the responsible adults they are.

Life always finds a way by cactuswitharaygun

Summary
In the main story ("Life always finds a way - it's that way or the highway"), the Cybertronian civil war does not end with a bang or a super-weapon. It ends with Vector Sigma leaving a few surprises behind, a crash course in Cybertronian biology, plenty of sneaking around, the combined power of GOSSIP, and a sparkling baby boom. Starscream is the universe's chew toy but this time he's in good company.
Plus, side stories and sequels - starting with Starscream being once again the universe's favorite chew toy.- Words:
