TELL SPARK GOOD PART!
Not Just Another Old War Story

Primes Honor by Newsy891

My father was one of those great pioneers on Earth, Jetfire loudly and proudly proclaimed. Again. He was a wheel the first wheel! he added at an even greater volume. Just like all the others, this group of trainees was swallowing every word. And do you know what he transformed into? Nothing! But he did so with honor! Kup resisted the urge to swipe Jetfires ever-present walking stick and swing it at his rusty, half-broken head. Hed heard it all before. Probably, he complained silently in his processor, because that story was one of exactly two stories Jetfire still remembered. It was a shame, really. Jetfire looked, sounded, acted and moved like a mech centuries older than Kup, yet it was Kup who was the elder of them by centuries, in fact. Too bad the creaky mech hadnt remembered to take care of his frame as well as he had remembered that story about his father. And too bad the creaky mech hadnt remembered the part where he made the whole thing up. And how did Kup remember that Jetfires favorite tale was a lie concocted to grab the interest of otherwise uninterested youths? Because Kup was there. And because, like most convincing lies, it held the smallest grain of truth. Jetfires father had indeed been on Earth long ago. And, well, he had wheels, if landing gear counted *** The Fallens descendants and drones swarmed over the landscape of the dusty organic planet, dwarfing the scattering crowd of fleshy native beings. The Decepticons and their master paid little heed to the humans, only tossing them or their remains out of the way when their presence became inconvenient. One of the Fallens descendants, though, sought to protect the organic life forms. The mech, one of many created as the Fallens devoted disciples, instead focused his firepower on any Decepticon within targeting range. Jetfire had long ago rejected the Decepticon cause and presented himself to Nova Prime as an Autobot, a follower of the six remaining Primes. His prowess in battle, proven many times over, was once again on display as he felled three of the Fallens drones with three consecutive shots. Jetfires kills did little to improve the lot of the Autobots. The Fallens threat that he would make himself stronger than his brothers had proven devastatingly true. A Decepticon who appeared to be only a drone effortlessly shoved Kup aside with a force that sent the elder Autobot warrior tumbling end-over-end for nearly a hundred yards. Kup wondered how far he would have gone, and how alive he would have been, had the enemy been trying. The drones target was not Kup, but Nova Prime. As the physical bearer of the Matrix of Leadership, he was a prized target indeed for the Fallen. Kup fired over and over into the vicinity of the drones Spark chamber; each shot looked less effective than the last. He gave a warning shout of Prime! and half expected six large conical heads to turn and face him. Instead, Nova Prime correctly discerned whether through the ancient wisdom of the Primes or through ordinary battle smarts that the warning was meant for him. He whirled about on the drone and knocked it off-balance with a swing of his staff.

Is she one Transformer in a tripartate body, all sharing a singular mind and one overarcing drive? Or is she three separate biker chicks, each with their own likes, dislikes, hopes, dreams and ambitions? You be the judge. How would you populate the world of Cybertron if you had complete creative control? Would there be Dinobots and nothing but, or would you have a human cast with Transformers as pets?
