   Summary

   PART 1: The year is 2007, and we are not alone. Three months after an unfathomable attack on his military base leaves him as the only survivor, Sergeant Jack Darby struggles to re-acclimatize to civilian life, only for an alien motorcycle to drag him into an aeons-old conflict between two factions of warring alien robots. Their war, our world. [COMPLETE.]

   PART 2: The year is 2009, and the war is cooling. Megatron is dead, and his followers are broken. Alongside the Autobots, Lieutenant Jack Darby fights to bring an end to their ancient conflict, and to find meaning in what comes next. Yet, in the dark, loyal beyond death, Soundwave sifts through the ashes of defeat to find a single world-igniting spark. What rises must fall, but what has fallen may rise again. [COMPLETE.]

   PART 3: The year is 2013, and the world has entered the Age of the Transformers. But when an ancient Autobot leader arrives on Earth, events are set in motion that risk re-igniting the war and stoking it into a final, apocalyptic phase... [ONGOING.]

   The Prometheus Saga is own personal take on the Transformers mythos, built around a spine of the Michael Bay films and a particular reading thereof. Feedback welcome. Updates weekly-ish.
