Summary
“I hated Ambulon—you heard it! That’s why I killed them! Certainly not to keep us alive, oh no, no no no, not to keep Ambulon the Decepticon defector from the clutches of the DJD!” Pharma laughed and laughed. Then he doubled over, short of breath. The mic went with him. “I loved to betray the Autobots so much, you see, that I’d willingly open up my spark chamber for Tarn. I wanted it. I wanted to be sparked in the middle of a war, and I wanted to kill my patients. I wanted to stay there forever and ever!"

Summary
It was supposed to be a simple supply run. A scientific vessel out in deep space; all they had needed to do was drop off some more energon and replacement lab equipment. The ship wasn’t supposed to fire on them. There weren’t supposed to be zombies. And, most critically, Starscream wasn’t supposed to be a stupid aft and get bit by one of them.

Summary
In Starscream’s honest (and very humble) opinion, this was one of the worst days of his life.
And that’s against some very steep competition, you know! Millennia upon millennia of having the worst luck known to Cybertron and beyond really lends itself to a never-ending stream of horrible events that all culminate into an ever-present world-weariness and severe paranoia, all channeled into one (unfortunately small) seeker.
Today in particular, though, seemed to deviate from his usual pattern of bad luck, in the form of an irate Autobot.

Another tfp Starscream redemption fic, what more could you want? I don't take myself too seriously, so neither should you.
This is my first fic ever, so formatting advice, critique, and funny insults are encouraged.
(Title from The Fall by half•alive, which is a song I believe describes Starscream and any potential redemption of his quite well)

Summary
Any self-respecting Towers mech should know how to court properly, and Mirage is nothing if not a proper Towers mech. Of course, the whole affair would probably have gone a lot easier if anyone had thought to inform Hound that he was being courted in the first place.

Summary
Before he became Wheeljack, R2071 knew who he was going to be. It was who he was sparked to be, after all: Assistant to Shockswitch, one of Iacon University's most prominent engineers. It was who Shockswitch had been training him to be from the moment he had come online, and it would make Shockswitch happy, if only R2 could learn to do anything right.
Then, before he became Wheeljack, R2071 met Ratchet.

Hunted by enemies from every side, the Combaticons must carve their own path upon the alien world of Earth.

Summary
Drift and Ratchet have been gone for months. And for a long, long time Rodimus and Megatron have been at each other's throats. Everyone is sick of it. Most of all, Ultra Magnus. He begs them to work on their professional relationship for the sake of the crew, with some guidance from Optimus Prime.
Little does he know, Rodimus and Megatron are pathetically attracted to one another (everyone else knows). One thinly veiled excuse for a hookup later, and Rodimus is caught in a web of lies of his own making.

“What plot is this?!” the Drulian interjected shrilly. “You have offered up this murderer for our judgment - to be sentenced to execution or life imprisonment - and suddenly he is unfit for either?! This is surely too convenient!”
“I apologize - what?” Magnus said belatedly.

Bluestreak's (Totally-Not-Decepticon) PenPal by Mertisal
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers Generation One

Summary
Bluestreak is lonely. It's hard, being one of the only Praxians left. His adoptive creators try their best to be with him, but Jazz and Prowl are busy running the war, and the Decepticons aren't making it any easier.
But then, while recovering from some injuries, he gets a strange--and wonderful--message that another Praxian wants to exchange data-letters with him! Finally, he can have a steady friend and someone that will understand what it's like to have lost you entire home.
And his new penpal totally isn't Thundercracker, who isn't also painfully lonely and feeling particularly doubtful about the Decepticon cause. No, no, it's not Thundercracker, because that would be ridiculous. Right?

Summary
"Thrusters: cut. Wings: down. Starscream invented, deeply, and engaged each individual biomechanical component within his gauntlets, metal clacking against metal softly, straining to hold himself upright. The precision of the act was just as important as remaining upright. The right timing, the right movement.
He counted. The silent click-click within his frame was not dissimilar to a clock, ticking away the time he had left.
Starscream collapsed, in a heap, and took in air. Continuing was a necessity. It was more than an exercise in the physical. It was a mental exercise, in maintaining the proper perspective. Starscream would never be helpless, never again, not even as a prisoner."This is my S2 rewrite, which will be a Decepticon-centric (with STSC as the protagonist) take on some of the earlier plot threads in the season, branching off to have it's own unique plotline and antagonist in the end. Starting directly from the season 1 finale, and going over *why* the Decepticons supposedly ran off and betrayed the Autobots

Summary
"The echoes of Megatron’s laughter still play back in his processor, again and again, mental feedback distorting the sound until it is nothing but a dull screech. What is he supposed to do, at this point? After he has wasted— millions of years, all on a pipe dream? A sunk cost? Perhaps THE sunk cost, the largest and grandest in Cybertronian history?"
This is a complete S3 rewrite with ENORMOUS canon divergence starting from the season 2 finale of Transformers: Prime, focusing on Soundwave's slow disillusionment with the Decepticon cause. Starscream + Knockout are also featured heavily, though the narrative is solely written from Soundwave's perspective. The first few chapters, following the catalyst of change, will take the reader through previous seasons' events in a "missing scenes" style narrative.
I've just started using my tumblr for posting about updates and might do some "behind the scenes" posts / other asymptote content/ write some jokes there... if you're interested feel free to follow at:

Summary
After Jazz suffers an injury in the field, he's forced to navigate an entirely new kind of battle as a new, somewhat untrained saboteur, struggling with the reduced functionality in his leg and a crew made up of shut-in scientists and new recruits. Early into his first mission, he will discover a regime cruel enough to make mesh crawl... and have to use everything at his disposal (and then some) to thwart Megatron's best intelligence officer.
...
"There are an infinite number of things I could attempt to warn you about. Unfortunately, much of spying is defined by decisions you make in moments that span kliks… so you may not have time to recall what I tell you, regardless.” Mirage sighs. “It is necessary that you immerse yourself completely in your story. Know who you are. If you act as that version of yourself in perpetuity and maintain a perfect confidence in your false motive— you will be surprised at how easy it is to lie. People trust their immediate assumptions. The assuredness of your gait, or even just the implication that you belong, is enough… so long as the enemy is given that first impression that you belong in their sphere. You must wield perception itself as your weapon.” -

When Blaster checks himself in the reflection of the transport's glass, he can almost fool himself into believing that that's the frame of an oversized minibot, and not a flimsy pile of squeaky joints and mismatched parts.
Blaster doesn't know the first thing about mining, or being a boombox, or cassettes, but he'll play it by audial and figure it out. Eventually.

Summary
Forty years since their defection from the Decepticons, the Stunticons have become a close knit family within their gestalt. The end of the war and their estranged status from the Decepticons mandates the Stunticons lay low, as they find a new life for themselves without the Cybertronian war.
Yet not all peace lasts, nor are all enemies so straight forward as those which had first mandated their creation.
