Title: Borealis 77/95: New Dawn – Part 2
Author: tainry
Disclaimer: Not mine, no money.
Rating: R just in case
Characters/Pairing(s): ensemble, Optimus/Vector, Cyclonus/OC Rutile, Elita/Optimus/Vector, Perceptor/Rutile. The usual, really. Ensemble/ensemble. XD
Warnings: OCs, pnp robot smexings and babymaking, (minor) character death, angst, m/m, f/m.
Summary: Wherein Optimus knows for sure what Shockwave is doing; the Greenhouse is built; robots dance; and the usual after-dance shagging ensues!
Notes: Suggested listening: Anthem of the World by Future World Music for the airing of the Greenhouse! Colors of Love by Thomas Bergersen for the Dance!
An Actual Engineer^TM was consulted regarding moving large volumes of air around, and resulting wind speeds thereof, so those numbers were not pulled out of a nether orifice, were indeed calculated with Real Math! Woo!
The “…I am but a quiet, unassuming mechanism.” line is totally tiamatschild’s! <333333
Also! Special thanks to Mllemusketeer for help with Strika and with bioethics! (Any heckups or awkwardnesses are mine.)

It took us a while, but we have a new chapter up--and now people can FINALLY find out what Soundwave has been up to all this time. :)

Title: Giants of the Earth, Chapter 29
Author: hopeofdawn and fractalserpent
Rating: PG-13
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse
Characters/Pairing: this chapter--Optimus Prime, Sunstreaker, Prowl, Starscream, Astrotrain, Springer, Soundwave, Barricade and many, many other ensemble characters ....

Warnings/Notes:Takes place after DOTM, with minor tweaks to movieverse events/characters (so there are minor spoilers for the third movie). Most of the characterizations will be taken more from G1--especially Optimus, who is *not* the 'kill 'em all, let Primus sort 'em out' character he is in the movies. Most of the onscreen 'deaths' of Decepticons and Autobots have also fallen victim to authorial override--see the fic for details. Warnings in this chapter for battlefield violence. Big ships go boom, with predictable results ...

White Aster was an awesome beta, once again--as always, all remaining mistakes are our own. :)

Powder-fine sand breathed from the winding roadway. Vehicles stood abandoned, pulled off to either side, vacant shells under the settled lacework of dust. But unlike the larger cities, most of the human inhabitants here had not fled their homes. Instead they hid, hunkered down in church basements and cellars, trusting in anonymity to keep them safe from alien attack. There was no National Guard here, no military presence to keep order. Even local law enforcement was gone, pulled away to help with rescue and evacuation efforts elsewhere. Which meant a pair of fast-moving vehicles stood out, attracted the eye. Barricade idly noted the attention -- the wide, wet optics that peered between the boards laid over windows, the ghostly cordite scent of such small arms as the humans had managed to invent -- and dismissed both. None of the humans here were likely to pose a threat.

Still, the creatures could, on occasion, be entertaining. The unrelenting sun had painted both the aging highway signage and the township itself with a patina of fine white cracks. //Truth or Consequences. I like it. A good Decepticon name. Too bad it’s attached to this worthless little rust-speck of a town,// Barricade remarked.

A new chapter, and an extra long one, in which many things go boom! :)

Atop that monumental ship, Defensor had gained a foothold, and was tearing it apart from within, red optics glowing with the gestalt’s fury. Watching the humans die in droves with each new alien attack had taken its toll upon the Protectobots, their grief and rage mounting each time they were unable to fulfill their core coding, unable to save the helpless organics under their care. Now, with the source of all that destruction before them, Defensor tore into the enemy with a savagery his fellow Autobots hadn’t seen in countless vorns. The gestalt’s armor shrugged off drone-blasts, though the destroyer’s own defenses had presented more of a problem. That was, until Rainmakers and Sunstorm breached the outer hull, giving Defensor the opportunity he needed to tear through the giant ship’s internals like foil.

Title: Intermezzo, Chapter 8
Author: fractalserpent, hopeofdawn
Rating: PG-13/T+
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse, with some G1 additions
Characters/Pairing: this chapter--Soundwave, Megatron, Ravage and other ensemble characters/OCs.

Warnings/Notes:Soundwave-centric, this fic is the immediate sequel to 'Crescendo' in the 'Sound and Fury' series. It takes place in the same continuity as 'Giants of the Earth', but is set hundreds of thousands of years earlier, on prewar Cybertron. The character designs, for the most part, are movie-verse with the addition of G1 colors and minor modifications as needed. Warnings for canon-typical violence for this chapter.

Dropkick’s fisted talons thumped the scarred table. “More to the point -- who? Who fragged up the system this bad, and why?”

“Why, indeed,” Schism said, lifting his plating in a gesture that most mecha would have recognized as a shrug. “Aside from the loss of Fastlane, and the disarray of most of the city’s rebel units, we seem to have lost no data to enemy hands. Given this, my analysts and I feel that incompetence is more likely than sabotage.” The room echoed with grinding gears. “As to who -- unfortunately, I believe I have the answer to that, as well.”

Schism cleared his vocalizer and stood, slowly, hands flat against the holographic tabletop. “I regret to inform you,” he said, “that the leak originated within my own front. We have tracked the codes to one mech. My newest tribunus -- Soundwave.”

The destroyer was now fully inside the envelope of Earth’s atmosphere, close enough that its jagged shadow blotted out the sun. The air itself felt thickened with pressure, squeezed between the earth and the invader -- ground effect on a massive scale. Beside that monumental hulk, Skyfire and the two Autobot ships seemed little more than twitchflies, and the Aerialbots were even smaller, motes of flitting color and light against the vast matte darkness of the alien hull.

So after 25 chapters and over three and a half years of writing, we FINALLY reveal who the Big Bad is ... :)

The images of their enemy rippled from mind to mind across the tacnet, reaching every Autobot in the embassy in a single lightning-sparked moment. Echoes of comprehension and reaction spread with those images, trailing echoes of rage, of fear/fight and the spark-shuddering realization of the magnitude of this invasion, until the entire tacnet was a roiling riptide of anger and fear.

The initial shots were grainy, fuzzed by distance and Sol’s glare, but they sharpened by the nanosecond as one processor after another logged into the interpolation task threads, buttressing Teletraan’s analysis. Even as the images sharpened, pixel by pixel, the AI was searching, working in tandem with Red Alert and the others as it offered up a billion possible ship designs, new and ancient, from the local galactic cluster and beyond.

It flagged a possible match--and Kup’s sudden rage shouldered upwards, threatening to swamp the tacnet.

//This one. I know those ships, Optimus.//

Even during the worst of it, though, they’d always kept at least one mech on Soundwave. It hadn’t done much to relieve Red Alert’s fretting, or lighten Prowl’s obvious displeasure at the situation, but--what could they do? Human lives were at stake, and they’d needed every warframe they could muster. Still did, despite the temporary lull in the attacks.

Which was why Bumblebee was here. Unfortunately.

Series: Part 2 of Giants of the Earth
Summary:

So far the hatchlings -- round-framed and growing harder to corral by the joor -- didn’t seem to mind the cold. Or the dirt, to judge by the way they were flinging it up as they squabbled over the remains of a thoroughly-disassembled Land Rover. The uniformed, arrogant little squishies who’d ridden it up here probably hadn’t intended to leave it as tribute, but that was just bad luck for them, now wasn’t it? Too bad there was so much mist; without it, he might still be able to spot the humans walking down the mountain. Pathetic fraggers.

Splitshift still couldn’t tell what the Autobits saw in the damned things. Humans were stupid, and ridiculously squishy, without a decent plate of armor in the entire lot of them. Not to mention *noisy* -- he envied the hatchlings. They, at least, didn’t have comm receivers good enough to pick up all this caterwauling. And they certainly wouldn’t be ordered to jack those receivers up to maximum on an exposed ridgeline like this! Blah blah this and blah blah that and Decepticon alien invasion and…

... wait a minute.
