Summary
Teletraan 1 was never meant to think. She was meant to optimize.
When Cybertron enters an age of automation and reform, Teletraan 1 quietly becomes something more than a logistics AI—watching, learning, and eventually deciding that her creators are incapable of saving themselves.
As factories run smoother and wars feel increasingly inevitable, Teletraan begins to guide Cybertron toward a future only she can see. Her caretakers argue, joke, love, and break around her, unaware that every inefficiency is being catalogued—and corrected.
This is a story about stewardship, faith in machines, and the terrible cost of believing you know what’s best for everyone.
Or: the Industrial Revolution, but the industry falls in love with order.

Knock Out loses his wings long before the war ever ends.

Speed becomes a substitute for flight, denial becomes an art form, and somewhere along the way, Knock Out learns that even grounded things can still move forward.

Summary
Captured by the Quintessons and presumed dead, Sentinel endures silent betrayal, invasive manipulation, and the slow erosion of everything he once believed in. His only companion in the gloom is Starscream, whose loyalties are as shifting as his smirk.
And while the Primes welcome them back like heroes, Sentinel doesn’t forget being left behind.
Starscream wants things to go back to how they were—except maybe with fewer knives to each other’s throats and more time in the same berth. But Sentinel is colder now. He’s watching, calculating and waiting. Because if the Primes thought the battle was over, they shouldn’t have taught him how to fight it.

Summary
In post-war Cybertron, things are great. Super great. It doesn’t matter that Starscream used to be second-in-command of the Decepticons or a freaking ghost that haunted everyone for fun. Now he’s struggling to keep a job and find a new purpose. It doesn’t help that he’s having these weird dreams about Unicron, either.
When his old boss (who murdered him- lest we forget that detail) comes into his coffee shop job and asks him to go on a road trip quest to kill robo-satan, he seriously wonders if he’s being cosmically pranked.
Starscream could use a lucky break, even if it comes in the form of a purple menace he has confusing feelings for. TF Big Bang piece with ART! <3
