The Many Lives of Optimus Prime by Lets_try_some_writing

Summary
The Thirteenth’s siblings had power beyond measure, skill greater than the finest craftsman, and wisdom more vast than the stars. They had relics and gifts in abundance, frames that could do anything they desired, gorgeous and efficient. But the Thirteenth? Primus had only seen fit to grant him one gift.
His spark was made immortal, destined to always return to the living realm so that he could fulfill his purpose. What was that purpose? The Thirteenth had no idea, but he was willing to find out.

Summary
The war is over, and everyone is moving on. Poor Optimus however, has been suffering from a severe case of being an empty nester now that he doesn't have anyone to look after. Luckily for him, one slightly overenthusiastic and drunken order to the Sparkling Protection Agency has solved that problem.
Now he has five tiny winged terrors to handle.

Summary
Having grown increasingly frustrated with the continual failure of its Primes, the Matrix has had enough of being passed around. Determined to pick its own Prime for once, the Matrix has set off to select its chosen.
Well, it would be off doing that a lot more if it didn't have one young Orion Pax to take care of.

A World of Shattered Glass by Lets_try_some_writing
Fandom: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers: Prime, Transformers: Shattered Glass
19 Nov 2023
Summary
(NOTICE: I have dropped this series for the time being due to various reasons. I have changed as a writer and would prefer to do a full rewrite rather than come back to where I left off. There will be no more updates here. That said, please feel free to enjoy what I have.)
My own take on the Shattered Glass universe.
Some things will remain the same as in cannon, and other things I will take liberties with. I don't think it would be plausible for everything that happened in the show to be the same considering the swapped morals.
Oh, and spoiler alert, there is neither good nor evil in a world like this, only shades of gray. Those who are seen as evil are merely broken puppets, and those who seem to be good are but struggling survivors desperate to live one more day. Every individual has their own goals and lines between factions have never been blurrier.

Two Sides to a Coin by Lets_try_some_writing, spreadward
Fandom: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers: Prime
13 Apr 2025
Summary
Orion Pax and Optimus Prime are two very different mechs with two very different sets of ideals and motivations, forced to cohabit the same frame. This series explores the many ramifications of this unwanted union between the two, not just for them, but for all of Cybertron.
We highly suggest reading this series in order, it may be difficult to understand certain aspects of the plot if parts are skipped.

Pretending to care is a fool's folly by Maybe_a_candle
Fandom: Transformers Animated (2007)
06 Jun 2025
Summary
Shockwave adopts Bumblebee while undercover as an Autobot.
Illogical Impulsive: Adopting a sparkling sure will have no consequences on the trajectory of my life, says Shockwave. Like a liar.
Calculated Love: Ok I do care I care a lot so I just need to remove every threat there is and make sure Bumblebee never discovers I was a decepticon. This will surely happen, Shockwave says not knowing the Narrative.I will not mourn the living: "... I remember how you were when Bumblebee went missing. Like your spark had been snuffed out."

From The Sidelines by AnimationFan2006
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers One (2024)
21 Nov 2024
Tags
Summary
The reveal of Sentinel's treachery and the rise of Megatron shook all of Iacon to its core. It tore apart brothers and reforged them into enemies. It heralded the beginning of a terrible war to come. We know of Optimus, Megatron, Elita and B's perspectives on it all but what about those in the background?
What about one of the High Guard who were there to witness D-16's stand against Sentinel? What about one of the cogless miners who rallied behind Orion Pax? What about the racer who won the Iacon 5000 but got 2 miners 'killed'? What about another miner who was of the same mind as Megatron and decided to join him? What about the Quintesson High Commander himself?
How did they feel about this?
Well, now, they have a chance to tell their stories.
(From The Sidelines is a series of 5 one-shots that each explore a different character's perspective on the events of the film. Some will start before its beginning. Others at different points throughout the film)

5 Times Ratchet Helped Orion Pax (and 1 Time He Couldn't) by IDs_Fantasy
Fandoms: Transformers One (2024), Transformers: Prime
05 Sep 2025

Summary
The war with the Quintessons was finally over, but not without great cost. The Primes had died, energon no longer flowed, and, apparently, Primus had decided to cripple the entire next generation of Cybertronians by creating them without transformation cogs. And to make things even more stressful somehow, Ratchet had become very emotionally invested in the well-being of one Orion Pax.
In other words, I took that one mention of Doctor Ratchet in the Transformers One movie, combined it with Optimus and Ratchet being "old friends" in Transformers Prime, and this was the result.
