Summary
There’s nothing—nothing at all. There’s nothing when there should be something—right? Vaguely, in the murky ink that his mind—is it his mind? Is he anything at all?—down below and in the farthest corner where he thinks he exists, he has the sense that he’s missing something. But he can’t hold onto the thought, the feeling always slipping through his fingers.
He’s bobbing to-and-fro, swimming in the Nothing, but always going under with a crash of Something. The Something that tells him that something isn’t right. Try as he might, however, he can’t tell where the Nothing starts and ends. His mind—it's melded itself to the walls of this lonesome state of nonbeing, making it difficult to think, to wake up. At least, he thinks—no, he’s pretty certain this isn’t how things used to be. It wouldn’t be nagging at him so badly if so, he thinks.---------------------------------------
Alone, with no memories and no name, a mech wakes up to discover himself a puppet of war.

Summary
Ravage is a great asset to the Decepticon cause, so it's only a matter of time before Megatron asks Soundwave about getting more like her. There's just a few...complications to the matter of creation.
Fortunately, Shockwave has a logical solution.
a.k.a. The Decepticon's two most loyal members change their priorities as the war for Cybertron wages on.

Summary
The Autobots find a young injured sparkling, apparently abandoned on Earth. She doesn’t remember her name or who her creators are, although the fact that she looks like a pint-sized copy of Megatron means they’re pretty sure they know at least one of the answers to that question.
As far as Ratchet is concerned, the Decepticons have a hell of a lot of explaining to do.

“Thank You For Listening, Soundwave” by ckret2

Summary
If he’d stopped to think about it beforehand, Soundwave would have expected that the hardest part of starting a mutinous conspiracy would be convincing himself that he wanted to help Starscream to overthrow Megatron. Certainly, convincing himself had been the slowest part. Convincing Shockwave had been much faster.
But no—it turned out that the trickiest bit was convincing Starscream that he wanted to overthrow Megatron.
After everything Starscream had been through, perhaps that wasn't surprising.
(Each chapter is standalone; ongoing continuity but no pre-planned plot arc/ending.)

Unworthy, Unprepared, and Unwilling to Lay Down and Die by Jadecomet

Summary
A modern man wakes up in a cart with his hands bound, and instantly recognises both his surroundings and the fact that, given where he's seated, he's due to embark on a wildly dangerous adventure in just a few short minutes.
Given he has even less combat knowledge than this world's average teenager probably would, this could prove hazardous to his health.
A self-insert fic in which the author overthinks magic, the Thu'um, and how best to translate a video game world into something not constrained by levels and systems. Canon compliance will be attempted, but only to the extent that the author actually knows it (which is not much).
Update: between posting chapters 10 and 11, the author has had a trans realisation. This will also happen to the self-insert, it has been decided.
