Summary
Excerpt from the Grand Cybertronian Taxonomy:
"The Companion (High Class) or Pleasurebot (Low Class) shall be identified by the collar affixed to the neck, the width and material of said collar indicative of the Cybertronian's assigned Class. The engraved inscription found on the collar is said to be a testament to the devotion of these Cybertronians to their function and craft — 'To comfort, to please, to satisfy your circuitry, to stimulate and electrify, I am yours for eternity'. Note that any Companion or Pleasurebot encountered on the planet that is missing this inscription should be considered fraudulent and should be reported to the local authorities immediately for Impersonation of a Function Unbecoming of Form." -

Summary
Prowl had always known he'd have little controll over his future. So it didn't come as a surprise when his creator traded him like a pawn piece.
A prince for an alliance.
To bad for them, Prowls morals had always leaned more towards non excistant.

Chances of Survival by accursedelf

Summary
Since Luna-1, no one knows what to do about Pharma. The rogue doctor awaits his pending fate in a makeshift cell on the Lost Light, with his wings bound and alt-mode restricted. After the apocalyptic events of Dark Cybertron, Pharma doesn’t expect he’ll survive to trial. Even Megatron’s fate has been put on hold until Prime and the Autobots salvage some kind of legal system. In the interim, the Lost Light remains grounded. Injured and infirm bots overrun the med bay team. Since Rodimus won’t depart Cybertron until their ship, crew, and allies are up and running, Ratchet suggests they put their captive surgeon to work. First Aid is less than pleased.
For his part, Pharma never thought he’d join a quest. He knows he won’t last long once his past–and the D.J.D.–catches up with him. It’s only a matter of time.

Summary
Cybertron has been under the rule of the Primes since time-immemorial. The position has always been passed from creator to creation, ensuring a continuous semi-divine lineage. Until the day that Orion Pax is chosen by the Matrix of Leadership to be its next bearer. From one cycle to the next, a new dynasty is declared to be ruling Cybertron, and Optimus Prime is hailed as their new supreme ruler.
Orion has never been blind to how their society's caste system can often cause more harm than good. He'd hoped to be able to change things with his newfound power, but quickly realizes that the Senate and the priests hold much more sway over his life than he'd expected. There's also whatever is happening with his consorts, who act like their new life is anything but wanted.
-
Primes traditionally have harems composed of bots from the high-castes of various city states, called their consorts. Allegedly, this is a very desirable position - a cushy life with no worries, their only duty continuing the Prime's lineage. What the people of Cybertron don't know is that the position of consort is more akin to that of a hostage than a real partner. Optimus Prime is also unaware. His consorts are not.

Summary
Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp are some of the first decepticons on Cybertron. Starscream's not in it for all the right reasons, but he is in it, and a new world order would suit him just fine if he could rise to the top of it. His lofty plans are for nothing. Starscream and his trine never come back from a mission and are assumed dead, hunted down by the autobot council.
It is a surprise, then, to find them frozen in stasis three million years later, after the explosion of the great war and the fall of Cybertron. The decepticon cause has changed around them, and so have Megatronus and Orion Pax.
OR
The area was swarming with autobots-- where was he?-- and Starscream, hiding, searched desperately for a familiar face. He tugged on the trine bond, but no one tugged back. The connection felt dead.
There! In the distance, Starscream spotted a familiar boxy frame, the red and blue paintjob shining bright against dull, faded glacier.
Primus, that's Megatronus's mech! Starscream thought. Orion Pax was little else-- he wasn't even a decepticon, only some wishy-washy affiliate, and he couldn't fight because he didn't believe in harming so much as a scraplet. What is he doing here?

Prowl comes online as one of a batch of mecha built to order for the City of Praxus to serve as Enforcers. But, when he's reassigned to an experimental program before even leaving the sparking chamber, it doesn't take long before he discovers the dark side of what's expected of him.

Summary
The people of Petrex were very set in their ways, and the ones who didn’t change their minds fast enough perished in the bombing. Prowl doesn’t miss it, or them. He doesn’t miss the stares, the rumors that came with being different, being defective. The whispers that that mech just wasn’t right, that the tacnet had been a bad idea, that there was no use for a mech like that and building him that way had been cruel, proof that the government couldn’t be trusted to do the work of Primus. Then came the war, and suddenly Prowl was the most useful mech in the province. Suddenly, his defect meant something.
Prowl works himself to a breaking point.

An Archivist's Spark by Goofy_Boss

Summary
When sent to the mines of Kaon to deliver and receive reports from one of the overseers, Orion Pax has a brief encounter that would tip the scales of his fate. When he picks up the lone datapad the Miner dropped, the young Data Clerk starts to take fate into his own servos—even if it means turning away from everything he knew.
Even if it means cutting himself free from what should have been a safe and secure life.
Even if it means abandoning his responsibility to Ultra Prime in favor of lending a helping servo to the Miner turned Gladiator turned Revolutionary, because the words written by the mech who would become Megatron has long since touched Orion’s spark in a way no other mech has.Not even then one he’s been promised to for millions of stellar cycles.

Summary
“The Council has made its decision.” The Senator roared out. Orion’s tanks flipped, the stress and anticipation coming back tenfold. “Megatronus of Tarn. Your request to be added as Cybertron’s next Prime has been rejected!”
Orion was about to purge. Directly on the Council floor.

Summary
For every bot, a place in Cybertronian society. For every gear, a place in a well-oiled machine. For a million years, this has been the promise offered by the Functionist Council.
For millennia, I chose to accept this, to be another gear, idly ticking along down in the mines, all because of a bad shake of the cosmic dice. For all I may chafe and groan under the heel of functionist rule, I am but an ember, flickering in the wind of an age long dead. But all it takes is one idle moment, one gust of fortune, for an ember to spark a fire.
Mine will spark a revolution.

Summary
Imprisoned for five vorns for his part in supporting the now-forsaken Decepticon cause, Knock Out is revived from stasis to help an old acquaintance, and the remaining Autobots face unexpected opposition as returning Neutrals challenge the “winning team’s” right to govern and rule over Cybertron. Meanwhile, an unknown threat to the entire planet looms on the outer edges of the galaxy, waiting for the right moment to strike…
Part II is now complete! Please keep an eye out for Part III coming in a few months (Aug/Sep 2025), plus my attempt at doing something really stupid by trying to keep up with writing two stories at once and starting a prequel, where you'll get to read my take on Knock Out's origin story.

Summary
A collection of AUs predicated on the thought that Megatron remembered Rung after all those years, after that brief of an encounter, because, well... that day in Maccadam's, Megatron might have fallen a little bit head over heels.
This is a massive collection with many moving parts! If you only want to read the core plot of the timeline, no detours, no frills:
“The Snap of the Spring” (sets up the rest of the timeline)
“Overlooking the Lake”
“To Be Securely Held”
“Castle in the Sand”
“A Serious Affection”
“Apotheosis”

Summary
Orion Pax had a comfortable, unremarkable life. A diligent student at the Academy of Sciences in Iacon, he had landed a job as a data clerk, working in the archives of the Hall of Records. He read, he worked, and sometimes he even managed to get his best friend Ratchet to go have a drink with him. Nothing at all would have prepared him with a chance encounter with a lower caste labour frame who, despite not knowing how to read, wanted to see the inside of the library, and then proceeded to change Orion's views, and ultimately, his life.
