    Summary

    Jazz expects his new promotion to Autobot Chief Tactician to come with some stress and growing pains.

    Playing phone tag with an infuriatingly hard-to-track-down SpecOps Commander who hides behind email chains and faceless reports, however, was not on that list.

    How can Optimus Prime expect him to strategise if he's constantly wasting his time with this obnoxious, paranoid, mysterious spawn of the Unmaker?

    But at least he has his new buddy Prowl to vent to!

    … Right?

    Summary

    A story of incredible loss, and then what comes after.

    'Aren't you gonna lay down?' Bonecrusher signs. 'It's late.'

    "Oh we can't," says Mixmaster from where he's tucked up under Long Haul's arm.

    'The frag not?' signs Bonecrusher. 'Don't tell me you ain't tired?'

    Mixmaster gestures slowly but dramatically at their laps. Across them, stretching from Long Haul's left thigh and over both of Mixmaster's, is a bright white and dark black shape that contrasts sharply with all of their paint.

    'Okay? So wake him up, or pick him up, or whatever?'

    "He's fast asleep," whispers Mixmaster, aghast. "We can't. What if he gets up and leaves?"

    'Let him leave?!' This is ridiculous.

    "You know, I think we're fine. More than fine, really."

    Bonecrusher swings around to squint at Scavenger. 'And what's your excuse?'

    Scavenger gestures at the itty bitty overlap of a single white foot on the edge of his thigh.

    Bonecrusher is in a sparkbond with absolute clowns.

    Summary

    It turns out that being wired into giant war machines doesn’t play nice with human brains. The Earth Mechanical Defense Force, or EMDF, learned that the hard way when their pilots started going… neurotic, let’s say, after a few missions.

    The obvious solution to that problem was to simply wire the pilot into their mecha permanently, that way their mind wasn’t being strained by the constant in and out. Unfortunately that strategy backfired and the pilots started going neurotic much, much faster, and this time they were giant and made of metal and much harder to put down.

    So, the obvious next step would be to pull the plug on that idea and go back to the drawing board, right? No, that’s ridiculous, the next step was obviously to simply…

    Make the mecha forget they’d ever been human in the first place.

    Somewhere along the line someone should have pulled the plug, but they’d already invested so much into the project, and you know what they say about sunk cost fallacy.

    Summary

    The life of a Vehicon is—as they say—exciting and—as a given—short. XL-917 mostly expects to die when chucked through a definitely malfunctioning space bridge, especially when it immediately lands him in the middle of more Autobots than he's ever even seen. Also they're all kinda... off. Uglier than he remembers? All small and square and acting like they don't casually dismember Vehicons every week. He’s pretty sure someone was supposed to have cut him in half at this point—but given they haven’t, it’s probably going to be a bad day.
