Transformers Fic Recs

[ickaimp]

-ysabet got tired of me cackling about various fics, so some of the more amusing we've run across.


More Fragging Paperwork
Optimus Prime is wise and strong, but no one ever claimed that his literacy was his crowning acheivement. There is a reason that you never see Transformers doing paperwork.
(Writing obituaries should not be this funny. I can see Nakamori-keibu going through similar mental thoughts for post-Kid heist write-ups. And yes, there is Closet fic out there.)

Ghost Stories
[2007 Movieverse] Everything can change in an instant. But you never, ever give up. The story of a boy and his car. Or a robot and his ghost.
(*Squeees* Yay friendship fic! sakon76 has a lot of short fics, all of them worth checking out)

Pieces of the Dead
Sam and Optimus take a road trip. Movieverse, with some tips of the hat to other formats.
(interesting take on what the Transformers do with their dead. Very calm, introspective fic. )

Culture Shock
Innocent hazing and sneezes, harmless human traditions turned inside-out; their differences work in ways that leave everyone wondering just who's messing with who. Sam and Bumblebee wouldn't change a thing, though.
(there needs to be more rampant comedy like this fic. The Long Road Home by the same author is a decent longfic with OC.)

How it is
2007 movieverse - War affects even the most innocent. Changes are inevitable. For Sam, adjusting to life after becoming introduced to the Autobots and Decepticons was nearly as hard as facing the changes in his own life...and the consequences with it
(one of the better 'Sam is the Allspark' and 'Sam turns into a Transformer' fics out there, IMHO.)

The Imperfection Series
When Jazz died at Megatron's hands, things changed. But not just for the Autobots... one Decepticon felt betrayed.
(Sometimes I adore MacX and LauraBee's fics, sometimes I yawn. Inevitably, there is angst, there is fluff, there is smut and someone always ALWAYS ends up Empathic. Depends on my mood at the time.)

Tricolora Trilogy
movieverse: It was perhaps inevitable that the government of the new country the Autobots call home would be leery of them, and now a secret the government wants to keep hidden may destroy all they've worked for.
(If you like your Transformers acting like outer space aliens and some theological debates, this is the longfic for you. Also by the same author: Puns! )

Hush
.:Movieverse:. When we were first allowed into the room where Optimus sat waiting to receive us, what was really being said?
(Very short fic, but very poignant. Especially, I think, to older fans and those who know what fandom can come to mean. )

CSI:Ark
Oh no! Someone's murdered Bluestreak! Well, not really. No problem, Jazz is on the case! Can he solve the Murder Mystery before Prowl forces him to attend staff meetings for the rest of the month?
(G1 Transformers playing Murder Mystery FTW. Favourite line: "I dropped a T-Rex on him! What more do you want?" )

A Twisted Act to Follow
The Autobots take to the theatre to put on a play for charity, but the fun isn't in the end result - it's in the journey to get there.
(... transformers putting on a play. With wigs. And crossdressing. Just let that soak in for a moment, then go read. mwuahahaha. )

The Horror
Animated. Short, silly fic about the perils of not hiding your porn properly.

Anyway. Just a sample of ficcage. *wanders off*

ickaimp: Megatron! The Biggest Baddy is hiding on Earth! What ever shall the Elite Guard do?!
marsdejahthoris: *snicker*
ickaimp: -Leave the planet, with a Space Bridge Repair crew consisting of an Elite Guard dropout, two Boot Camp dropouts, a washed up mech and a failed ninja behind.
ickaimp: Yes. Elite Guard very SMRT.
marsdejahthoris: Yeeeah.

I've read the Imperfection series. I agree with you on "there is angst, there is fluff, there is smut and someone always ALWAYS ends up Empathic." XD Still fun to read.

Have you read any of their other stuff? They're about the only ones who have written anything for the Tremors TV series, and Vathera references their Godzilla Deep Waters (http://home.arcor.de/helgastaebler/godzilla/godzilla.html) fic.

But it's almost like a staple of their fic, doesn't matter the series, someone will end up empathic. I'm enjoying the Iron Man Steve/Tony fic, but I'm also reading it while mentally placing odds who it is going to be this time. ^^;;

I've read the Godzilla stuff but not the Tremors.

I haven't actually seen the Iron Man movie, yet (or The Dark Knight). I'd like to.

I started to wonder who would end up emapthic if the author got into DC or MK. ^_^ Probably Kaito.

You should check out Purple Aussie, Kenya Starflight,
Purajazzbot, and ajremix. They're all in the Transformers section of Fanfiction.net.

Oooo... Thank you kindly!
Been mostly hitting up TransFictions.net, but there's more people on FF.net, and it seems like often times FF.net gets updated sooner.

*Places bet on Barricade being the empath*
