Addendum (an IDW1 Arcee novel fanfic) by Pluralsword
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, The Transformers (IDW Generation One)
24 Aug 2025

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…

Bumblebee's Story: At Another's Expense by I_identify_as_a_bitch
Fandoms: Transformers Animated (2007), Transformers - All Media Types
23 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
Bumblebee has been through a lot since he was a sparkling: the final vestiges of the Great War’s end, cruelty, anger, and much more. He was told, alongside his batch mates, that they were the start of something grand, revolutionary in a way that others weren’t; they were special. The stellar cycles have gone by, some feeling like a crawl and others like a black hole had sucked them up entirely, and Bumblebee wished he wasn’t special.

Summary
"MEGATRON!" Was the last thing he heard before he felt the impact. He couldn't vent, but he also couldn't find the strength to do anything about it.
Megatron had been about to stricke the Prime down, end this war once and for all. A victory for the Decepticons.
Now the blade of the Star Saber was plunged right through his spark. He tried striking the yellow scout, glaring up at him. He was talking but Megatron couldn't hear him over the energon roaring through his audio receptors. His own Dark Star Saber slipped though his digits, a weakness overtaking him just as he was about to strike back. Megatron fell to one knee, cradeling the blade of the Star Saber with his servos.
Starscream was screeching something, but it didn't matter. A floaty feeling overtook Megatron as his optics shuttered offline. He might've been falling. Distantly he realised he had lost.He snapped back to conciousness abruptly. Around him the arena audience cheered and hollored.

Summary
Praxus is a cesspit. Everyone who lives there knows it, everyone who works there knows it. To almost every other City-State it is a model, a paragon, a height of unparalleled beauty and values. The crystal garden help, so does the corruption on every level.
Jazz wants to fix his home, in the best way he knows. Prowl just wants to survive, and leave this City better than it was when he got here. Except Praxus isn’t a safe place for honest mecha, and this may be harder than either of them thought it was.
Every action has a consequence.

Buckethead by benediccia
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, The Transformers (IDW Generation One)
05 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
This is a short poem inspired by the nickname for Megatron "buckethead" that gets thrown around occasionally. I noticed that this nickname is primarily used by Autobots and is used only in a derogatory manner. I think that it could have a classist connotation to it because they are specifically making fun of a trait related to Megatron's pre-ordained function. I also find this especially interesting because Megatron's helmet is the only vestige of his body's original design that remains across his many different reframes. So, I thought "what if it's a derogatory term for miners and/or other manual class Cybertronians?"

A Court of Gladiators and Archivists by Agentsquirrel
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers: Prime

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

Because I am a Decepticon (Or At Least I Was) by photosynthetic_enby
Fandoms: Transformers: Rescue Bots, Transformers: Rescue Bots Academy (Cartoon)
23 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
"Others had tried to stop Wedge from succeeding, whether it be his old teachers or peers or Cybertron as a whole, but he had risen to the top despite them. He had become the best recruit on Cybertron. He had gotten admitted to the first Rescue Bot Academy on Earth, taught and founded by heroes of both planets.
He was here and he was finally surrounded by bots who knew nothing of his past. He could finally work his hardest and be the best, without anything in his past or anyone here in his present to drag him down.
Long story short, Wedge had worked hard to get here. So all that is to say-
Wedge did not like Hotshot."-- OR --
Alternating between the past and present: While Wedge in the present works to prove himself at the academy, his younger self works to prove himself as anything more than a dirty Decepticon. Canon at the start of the show vs. the time Wedge spent on Cybertron as he goes from being a Decepticon to a Rescue Bot.

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.

Those Mecha Who Rebuilt the Golden Age by Sister Sunny (BonRod) for auri_mynonys
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types
23 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
Megatron's formative vorns are defined by suffering, toiling, and loss, which shape his future and the mech he grows into. But at no point does he capitulate; all he needs to keep him sane, at the end of the joor, is Optimus—whether that be the kind and considerate comms he does not feel worthy of receiving, or the prayers he sends to the Prime whilst kneeling before his shrine.
But with Optimus heading a senate that only installed him as a compromise, threatened by assassination from above and revolution from below, he's going to need more than prayers. He's going to need actions: of thousands of mecha, of millions—this status quo is unsustainable, and the tension on Cybertron is about to erupt.
From the ashes will rise a new golden age, and Optimus's Lord High Protector.
“O Prima; o Primus,” Megatron whispered before his shrine. “Something big is coming, and I don’t know what it is.”

This is the road to ruin (but we started at the end!) by Lumicrystalline

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?

You know how G1 Starscream and Skyfire were fiends and Starscream lost Skyfire in a snowstorm.
Well, replace Starscream with Megatronus and Skyfire with Orion, and that's the fic.

For I've Dreamt of Flying by TheCobaltStar
Fandoms: Transformers (IDW 2019), Transformers - All Media Types
30 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
A personal project featuring my Transformers OC, Cobalt (Star) (and others). I've never written like this before, so I hope to keep up the flow, or at least I will be posting on my own schedule. This universe is going to try and stay as IDW compliant as possible but take that with a grain of salt please!
AND READ TAGS CAREFULLY, I will be updating them and giving heads up at the start of certain chapters if there is any warnings that need to be stated. I've decided to rate this as explicit due to the fact that while chapter one may be more tame, the rest of the series will not!
Please enjoy!

The world felt so slow - his body finally stopped moving, and someone ran over, frantically extinguishing the flames that had blown through their chest. Energon dripped from lines that were burned close - dripping from his nose and mouth into the soiled dirt and rust beneath his limp form. He could hear shouting, but nothing registered. Just as the pain started to register, he was out.- Language:

Turning The Pain Of War Into Pages Of Promise by Shakra_1
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers: Prime
28 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
He wasn't sure what to expect when Primus showed up in his living room on Earth... but to be told he is to be given a Cybertronian body and transported to the Transformers Prime universe to end the war between Autobots and Decepticons... well... it was laughable, to say the least.
Primus was true to his word though, he was given a Cybertronian body, a new name, and was transported to the Transformers Prime universe. All of this was too good to be true, as it was everything he ever wanted!
Why him though? Why did Primus choose him? He wasn't an Autobot, he was a Decepticon, through and through. He was loyal to Megatron, and he hated humans, hated Earth, and there was a few Autobots he would happily rip to pieces. How was he supposed to end a war and bring peace when he could care less about the opposing faction? All he cared about was ensuring Megatron survived this war and stood tall as the victor!
But... maybe that was the point?

It wasn’t the workload or even the monotonous nature of that work that left a hole in his spark. All of it was fine, just fine.
He just wished that he had someone to share it with.

Numb Little Bug by MerlinFromBerlin

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.
