At Least Traditions are Straightforward by CatChan

Summary
One of the best ways to show a bot from another Tribe that you are very serious about pursuing them is to actually pursue them. Then catch them, then tie them up and... Well. The steps varry depending on a miriad of factors.
But at least the steps are very clearly defined. The legends and stories are plentiful. The protocol is solid.
And Prowl is much better at social interractions when he has a solid protocol to rely on.
So that's how he plans to respond to Jazz's flirtation.
Jazz honestly didn't expect that.
Not that he's complaining.

Summary
Orion Pax had been hurrying out of the Archive and back to his dock for his shift when an ancient artifact, propulsed by the explosion of Sentinel Prime (with a little too much speed to be completely believable, but then again, the Matrix of Leadership was known to do strange things to fundamental physics on occasion), sailed it's way from the Primal Palace Entrance and directly into his chestplates.
Primus, it seemed, had seen a chance to get a new, better Prime to serve his children in the explosive assassination of his unchosen Prime. There was Civil War to avert, and nothing short of the most optimal Prime would do.
The Matrix was a mysterious artifact for a reason. It also never was as powerful as when the very fate of Cybertron hung in the balance. Poised on the edge of the destruction of Cybertronian Civilisation, as it was then, as it had been back during the Quintesson Invasion, the Vessel of Primus could do miracles.

Summary
Prowl had fallen in love with an organic. A tiny lifeform he had first thought must be a Cybertronian, so well did he pilot the shell he fought in.
He had discovered the truth about Jazz since. All of them.
But once only hit when it came to pass.
Humans lived one Vorn if they were lucky. And Jazz? He had used his luck to survive the process of being made able to pilot his mecha directly from his brain. To survive the invasive procedures and chemicals pumped into him to make him drift-compatible.
That would have been plenty.
Even if Spark energy radiation wasn't also detrimental to human health.
Jazz's music stayed with Prowl much longer than Jazz himself did.

Summary
In another continuity, Shockwave didn't hear the plotting. Didn't intervene. And Optimus only became Prime once it was too late.
In this continuity, Vos was bombed. And, shortly after, so was Praxus.
Prowl survived. Because... Because he had never actually set pede in Praxus. Praxus had never wanted him enough to try and buy his indenture.
Bluestreak and Smokescreen wanted him.
This is a story of Prowl of Vector Sigma. Who became Praxian only after Praxus fell.

Summary
There are reasons why Seekers Trine up in the first place.
The main one is that a seeker's wing are vitally important to their survival, need intense maintenance, and can't be effectively worked on by their own bearer. Especially on the backside.
Starscream might have been able to fool his own Trine as he slowly drifted away from them.
And he might have managed to keep his wings and back in good shape while doing that through his inventively.But when a rust-inviting wear develops in his wing hinges, other Seekers noticed.
That was only the start, though.
OR:
Seekers Trine for many, many reasons.And Starscream might have decided that he was above it all, but he really, really isn't.
Seekers Trine for reasons.
And Skywarp and Thundercracker need to remind Starscream (and themselves) what these reasons are.

Summary
In the battle against Kaguya, Naruto's Harem no Jutsu fails spectacularly.
All hope seems to be lost.
Until Sakura meets the Sage of Six Path, who gives her the chance to go back in time and fix everything.
He just didn't mention that the body she would end up in would be male, and, more to the point, already meant to have an occupant.
It is only through dumb luck that she didn't kill her most precious soul-brother.
She will hold a grudge for that. She will.
But in the meantime she has brand new siblings (she always wanted siblings) to see raised well, safe and happy.
Oh, and also a world to save.
But that will keep.Or: Sakurama becomes the Inner/in-built twin to one of the -ama brothers. She has always been intense and possessive, and at least her new siblings welcome that.

Nor Is He Early by ObliqueVion

Summary
A Prime is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to… give or take that one small paracausal nudge.
Or, that time the Matrix got impatient and stole a truck...
It's only going to get more and more hazardous to binge all of this:
✔️ Optimus Prime being iconically wholesome
✔️ Cybertron being an exotic mechanical wonderland
✔️ Mystery, adventure, and intrigue
✔️ Not so much a slow burn as a long fuse

Sideswipe's Secret Vacation Spot by BalloonArcade
Fandoms: Transformers - All Media Types, Transformers Generation One

Summary
Jazz once started a rumor that Sunstreaker is so vain, cold-sparked, and self-involved that he turned on Megatron himself simply to gain access to the Autobot’s superior washracks.
That rumor spread as designed, like a wildfire through the Autobot ranks, to protect Sunstreaker and his twin, veiling their true origin from the Autobot rank and file in misdirection and need-to-know secrecy.
The truth is, the cascade of events leading to Sunstreaker’s betrayal of his deep connection to Megatron all started when Decepticon Sideswipe realized something: being an Autobot prisoner made for a fun and relaxing vacation opportunity.

Sideswipe is the only real person person to Sun streaker, and I love it!!!
(But the luxury washracks are still a very convincing argument for deflecting to the autobots...) -

Summary
No one questioned the imprint process. An imprint was your soulmate; the person that the ancient ones chose specifically for you. There were no mistakes. But when Leah imprints on not one- but two sports cars— a lot of questions are raised.
