    Sunk Cost FallacyNoun

    An ingrained failsafe coding instance whereby a mech is reluctant to abandon a strategy or course of action because they have invested heavily in it - even when it becomes clear that abandonment would be more beneficial.
    ___

    Exhausted, depressed and shell-shocked, Skyfire finds himself struggling to adjust to the end of the war he had no choice but to take part in.

    Unfortunately, his fractured sparkbond doesn’t seem to be helping, especially when the culprit - and his two trinemates - reappear back into his life.

    Summary

    B-127 had been born at the start of a war that left him as a hero. It's time to rebuild now, and he doesn't know how to live a day without being up to his tanks in engex or face down in a void stall.

    Bumblebee tries, spending his day brushing off the title the people have given him to be another honest, humble cog. But the place that calls for him is rooted at Optimus Prime's side.

    And that place is a metaphorical tar pit.

    Summary

    A story of incredible loss, and then what comes after.

    'Aren't you gonna lay down?' Bonecrusher signs. 'It's late.'

    "Oh we can't," says Mixmaster from where he's tucked up under Long Haul's arm.

    'The frag not?' signs Bonecrusher. 'Don't tell me you ain't tired?'

    Mixmaster gestures slowly but dramatically at their laps. Across them, stretching from Long Haul's left thigh and over both of Mixmaster's, is a bright white and dark black shape that contrasts sharply with all of their paint.

    'Okay? So wake him up, or pick him up, or whatever?'

    "He's fast asleep," whispers Mixmaster, aghast. "We can't. What if he gets up and leaves?"

    'Let him leave?!' This is ridiculous.

    "You know, I think we're fine. More than fine, really."

    Bonecrusher swings around to squint at Scavenger. 'And what's your excuse?'

    Scavenger gestures at the itty bitty overlap of a single white foot on the edge of his thigh.

    Bonecrusher is in a sparkbond with absolute clowns.
