Summary
“Optimus! I worked in mines owned by the Autobots, I fought in arenas sponsored by the Autobots, I mined their wealth, killed for their entertainment, spread my legs for their pleasure, I was a tool for their use, my voice unheard. None of them gave a damn if I was rational or not." - Megatron said with merciless glee - “I killed two Primes; I held the spark of third in my palm. None of them wanted to listen when I spoke.”

Summary
Long time ago a half-starved pit fighter Clench could not even dare to dream he would be the third of the richest mechs in Kaon. All of it thanks to the disgraced miner who didn't know when to shut up and dared to spread his words of deception and better fate.
Only now, he knew better.
Maybe his optics burned, maybe his fists creaked, but he only sneered when Clench – overriding gag reflexes – poked his abdomen.
“Make yourself presentable. Celebration's tonight.”Series

Weep (for a paradise lost) by Land_Locked_Martian
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, The Transformers (IDW Generation One)
27 Oct 2025

Summary
It began on one of those days when both suns shine and all of Cybertron gleams with the unmarred shine of rebirth. Or rather, it began after one of those peculiarly novel days, long after both suns had set, and no metal gleamed with anything other than the warm light of streetlamps and bedroom windows. Within one of these windows, upon his two-mech berth with its exorbitantly thick padding and new-age recharging capabilities, sat Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime was of that same gleam-capable metal which adorned his planet now, armor unmarred by war and plating remade in peace, and the bedroom light dutifully shone off of him in a spectacular show of cozy resplendence. Also shining were the tears that filmed the inside of his digits.
A mystery with a loose narration style, a bit comical, featuring some of the Lost Light crew after the series ends

Summary
Imagine a highly specialized frame, streamlined to the smallest component. Balanced down to the most insignificant bolt, manufactured only from the purest alloys. Now mass produce seventeen thousand of them each vorn to maintain undisputed aerial supremacy over Praxus, forcing the latter to halt its production of flight frames altogether, because they could simply not keep up with the competition.
These are the seekers, the elite guard patrolling Cybertron’s skies. Vos’ pride and joy.
And they are not allowed to be anything but perfect.
Those that fail to live up to perfection are disposable.
And disposable seekers have only one place to go: the Sky Ballet.Or: Cybertron's society is built on pain and suffering from the lowest bloodsport to the pinnacle of performing arts. It takes Optimus too long to realize that this is by design.

Summary
Having ended their civil war with a bang and a very belated peace treaty in their own universe, Optimus and Megatron find themselves in the TF:One timeline, before everything went wrong. Not wishing the same war on their young counterparts, they try their best to steer them towards a better path, before it's too late. It doesn't exactly go well. There might be a body count.
World building heavy story where D-16 gets a mentor figure, writes a poem, chases after Orion to save him from himself (and from the Plot), has the worst month of his life and uncovers some of the Horrors hidden in Cybertron's history, not necessarily in that order.
[I was just wondering… do you think there is a world out there where we don’t hurt each other? Even when we don’t mean to?]
[We have ever honed and shaped ourselves along the sharpest edges of each other. It took us eight million years to wear those edges down into something that fit along the seams. It is how we are. If there is a world where that doesn’t hurt, I can’t imagine it.]Series

Embassy Row 2: Escape To Waleria by Land_Locked_Martian for ConCentric

Summary
A sequel that makes very little sense without the first part. An escape from an embassy, some poorly planned plots, some poorly plotted plans (a different concept entirely). A Cybertron with a desperate need for energon and a desperate wish to keep dangerous green energon out of the hands of their enemies. A trio bonding and fighting - and fighting over bonding. Come for the plot and stay for the plot, because this baby is getting exciting.
