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
After a raging house party, Megatron wasn't exactly in the state of mind to think past his hangover.
Fortunately for him, Ravage has his back, and after a positive pregnancy test (and the return of a few drunken memories), the night catches up to him.
Meanwhile, the Pax family is without an heir, and, bastard or not, Alpha Trion is not one to let an opportunity go to waste.
Or
The road to hell is paved with noble intentions, but maybe, just maybe, love could pull Megatron and Optimus off that path

Summary
The feeling was already there when it became aware of life for the first time.
It was eternally graceful and wise.
The feeling would still be there long after its awareness of life had faded for the last time.
It was eternally graceful and cruel.Or: When Primus created a newspark to save the life of its Prime, he did not expect his little puppet to survive its first mission. However, when the sparkling is surprisingly saved through the capable servos of a certain, grumpy medic, the god is not opposed either. Instead, he recognizes this as his opportunity to influence and ultimately end the War on Cybertron through his creation—no matter the cost.
Or, put more crassly: A retelling of Transformers Prime with Bumblebee as Primus’ puppet.

Summary
7 million years ago, the latest blow to gender on Cybertron is dealt by the rising Functionist tide, stirring an Arcee struggling with loneliness and aesthetic dysphoria into enraged action to help bots in the Hadean System across the aesthetic spectrum save their transformative glory and stories… in the process, she finds aid from the scientist Jhiaxus, who also offers xem a new reformatting surgery to let her spark do shaping with CNA editing help. Thus begins a new chapter in her life as a founding member of the expansion of what would later be called the Anti-Vocation League alongside her beloved partner and fellow old person Codexa, while grappling with her own growing pile of pains and traumas. As the millennia carry on and she heads to space, xey eventually meets Anode and Lug in the stars, and some dear moments near the present all the way through to events after Transformers: Optimus Prime #25: Post… where she helps some gender expansive bots, and with help from Aileron and xeir pals she finally gets some answers and closure to xeir own self, and has a reckoning with forces pitted against her for millions of years. The years after are not what she expected during most of her life prior, and xey is glad for them…

Summary
The Year is -11685 (Human Years).
On a distant planet called Cybertron, a disillusioned miner named D-16 rises through the energon-soaked gladiator pits of Kaon to become Megatronus, the eloquent leader of a movement that dares to defy the oppressive Functionist regime.
Backed by a clandestine network of radical thinkers - Shattercast and Shockwave, reclusive engineers turned fugitives; Soundwave, a former lawman turned underground music icon; Knockout and Breakdown, medics fighting for equality in repair; and Orion Pax, who under the pseudonym “Roller” becomes his ideological match and closest advisor - Megatronus transforms words of rebellion into a rising tide of anti-functionalist sentiment.
As a bitter civil war ignites with a Prime’s refusal to cede power, these insurgents must navigate betrayal, truth, and the cost of revolution.
In this shattered-glass reimagining, the Decepticon cause is born from a desperate, righteous cry for freedom.

Summary
Yep, Red Alert knew it — life really was safer inside, back home with nothing but his monitors for company. He knew better than to get involved with a mech wanted for murder, but nobody ever said he didn’t have a bleeding spark. Perhaps literally, at the rate they were going.
Or: the one in which Swerve is framed for murder and the only one willing to listen is a mech paranoid and convinced that everyone is out to kill him. Oh yeah, and he’s also the one that (unintentionally) might have gotten Swerve put on that wanted list. Somehow, they make it work.

Summary
When Team Rodimus narrowly escapes the Functionist universe version of Cybertron, Drift finds himself left behind and, as far as he knows, completely on his own. A few weeks later, when Megatron pilots the Last Light through the spacetime rift above Mederi, Drift is with him, and Ratchet is elated to be reunited with his new conjunx.
But something is clearly not right, and Ratchet is soon horrified to discover that Drift has lived through 819 years while they were apart. He seems reluctant to talk about what happened to him, and Ratchet has never been very good at feelings, anyway.
As the crew of the Lost Light parts ways and moves into the next stage of their lives, just how much have things changed, and what will it take for the two of them to make things work as they set out to build a future together?

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?

Sentinel twirled the stylus in his digits as he looked over his transcription. It had taken all the power vested in him to keep his optics down on his datapad, and said power was starting to run on fumes.
A glance couldn’t hurt.
As soon as his gaze focused on Senator Shockwave he was done for.

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.
