A Mech's First Corpse by Pod_The_Panda

Summary
Bumblebee’s optics couldn't turn away from the sight. The sight of the grayed out frame of Blitzwing. The gash Optimus’s axe left still bleeding.
Aka, it’s Bumblebees first time seeing a corpse, and seeing another mech be murder. Optimus killed Blitzwing to protect Bumblebee.
What Optimus didn't realize was that this was Bee's first time seeing a corpse. What Bee realizes is this is not Optimus’s first being the cause of one, and that he will do it again.
This horrifies him.So, as we know, Optimus is a Prime. He holds a high rank in the Autobot army. So, he has the skills of a soldier. And to be high up, he probably has to have proof he can use them. So, what if he has killed before, like he has in other continuities? What if he ends up killing one of the Decepticons in front of Bee?
Bee was kicked out of the academy, and was also not in the great war. So he has probably never even seen a corpse before. And while he knows Optimus is a soldier, just never put it together that Optimus could, will, and has killed another. -

Summary
The Rescue Bots show only ever showed one part of the team's lives. The part that was filled with action and risk. But, there was another side to them that wasn't shown nearly as often. The domestic side of the bots family. The side of the family High Tide was most involved with.
Basically, these will be mutible shorts stories about High Tide being the Rescue Bots dad.

Personality Quirks by Pod_The_Panda

Summary
What if in TFOne Orion Pax’s alt mode was his Dinomode? I'm thinking AoE gridlock mixed with his TFRB Dinomode type thing.
Before they got their T-Cogs, Orion had some weird... personality quirks. D-16 used to always think “Well, that's just Orion being weird. Every bot is a bit weird sometimes.” Well, now with their T-Cog, maybe these personality quirks make a little more sense.

Basically, these will be mutible shorts stories about High Tide being the Rescue Bots dad. Some of them will be in the main multi chapture book, some if the wont be. Depends on what I felt like when I posted it.

Summary
Small talk — that was something couples did, wasn’t it?
“It’s not hard,” he remembered Jazz saying once, when he’d tried to explain the concept of small talk to him. “Just say the first thing that comes to mind and let the conversation flow from there, y’know?”
Prowl glanced down at the treat in his hands. Just say the first thing that comes to mind.
“You know,” Prowl said off-handedly after a few moments of silence, “I always imagined that the sound of snapping a rust stick is what snapping someone’s struts would sound like.” He broke the rust stick he was fiddling with in two, as if to accentuate his point.
The restaurant fell silent at his statement, and Prowl could feel his auxiliary panels try and shrink closer to his frame, as if to shield him from the affronted looks. Starscream stared at him for a moment, before a smirk crossed his face.
“No, no,” he said. “Have you ever had rust sticks dipped in mercury? The noise those make is far more accurate — it’s difficult to break the struts without breaking a few energon lines, so the mercury helps it make that sort of particular wet snapping sound.”
