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.

Whatever Gets You Through The Night by SlashingBots

Summary
Human AU where the squad is enjoying a night out, and Viktor helps Beau with a problem.
-
Tags
Summary
Loosely based on @Keferon's mecha pilot au on Tumblr!
Vortex has crunched up and spat out another pilot (again), and First Aid has gone in to retrieve them (again). Only this time, Vortex doesn't seem to be keen to let him go...
With the Quintesson threat looming, they can't take any chances. If only the AI would quit going so rogue.Onslaught just wanted to keep his team together, but a miscalculation meant that they jumped fro the frying pan and straight into the fire instead.
Bluestreak would quite like it if the ones he loved stopped dying, please.
AKA the one where Jazz just can't stay dead, Swindle is haunted by (literal) ghosts, and nobody is making the healthy choice.

Summary
Jazz had never expected for one of his cousins and bonded to pass away one cold evening, leaving behind a pair of splitspark twins. He knew of them, had met them once or twice, but when the rest of his family began to pass them over and over again, he knew he need to step in.
The only problem is that his work is only willing to wait for so long. He needs to go back. He works weird hours.
He needs a babysitter.
Prowl hated that running was the only option he had. He needed to get away, but with his certifications to become an enforcers around the corner, he thought he could hold on. When push comes to shove, he knows he needs to start over. He has no credentials, his Academy credits won't transfer, and his skillset is incredibly limited.
He needs a job.

History of the Bayverse by Juan_Joya_Borja
Fandoms: Transformers (Bay Movies), Transformers
11 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
A fan-made prequel to the Bay movies. Borrowing elements from all 5 movies, however only keeping the first movie as hard canon due to the 17,000 year constraint set by Revenge of the Fallen. This is being done aware of the prequel comics for the movie series, which I personally do not find very good and don't really stretch the limits of where the story can possibly go with the characters. Story majorly covers the last 2 million years leading into Transformers (2007), with the decepticons having the most focus. Tidbits of earlier portions of the history will be found later in the story.

Summary
Thundercracker, finally accepting that his illustrious career as a screen writer wasn’t materialising as quickly as he had hoped and that his bills were starting to pile up, takes a job at Unicron Inc in a stunning show of nepotism on behalf of Starscream. It’s just a temporary measure until he can get his foot on the ladder, right?
Prowl finds herself in need of someone to help her stave off awkward questions and even more awkward propositions. Jazz finds herself in need of Prowl’s stamp of approval on some very ambitious plans over at Primus Ltd.

Summary
Before the Combaticons, there was only the commander and the chaos.
Assigned to control a mech no one else could handle, Onslaught finds his discipline tested by Vortex, a volatile operative shaped by violence and survival.
What begins as a command becomes a connection — forged through battle, trust, and the slow realization that sometimes the strongest weapons aren’t built… they’re found.Series

This Place is Made for Fools (and I'm Seeking Solace) by mrcandle
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, The Transformers (IDW Generation One)

Summary
“You’re not being pitied,” he said again, more firmly now. “You’re a good person, Megs.”
Megatron circled Rodimus’s wrist, his optics glinting in the club’s harsh light. “You’re a fool if you believe that,” he muttered, running his thumb over Rodimus’s palm.
Rodimus snorted. “You’re stupid if you don’t. You’re good to me.”
OR;
The one thing Rodimus wants more than anything else is to make his crew happy aboard the Lost Light. Actually, that's the second thing he wants. The first is his co-captain—professionally, of course. Megatron isn't much better. His spark tells him to make Rodimus the happiest mech who's ever lived and his frame says to just be satisfied with what he's got. His processor says to bash his helm in until he doesn't think about it anymore.
Both make it everybody else's problem.

THE METAL IS A LIE / THE METAL IS ALIVE
The mechanics don’t see Vortex as a person anymore, he knows that for a fact. The doctors never did. They know he’s there: his placement was intentional. They wanted an autonomous war machine, but not like this.
He doesn’t want this. He doesn’t want what they wanted either, he never wanted this, never in any form.
He wanted a promotion.
They told him it was a promotion.
They lied.Series
