    Summary

    Marcus Chen was a twenty-seven-year-old barista, dedicated Transformers wiki editor, and unapologetic Bayverse Optimus Prime apologist who owned every action figure, defended every explosion, and would argue to his dying breath that a giant robot riding a robot dinosaur while dual-wielding a sword and shield was peak cinema.

    Then he got hit by a semi-truck. Because the universe has a sense of humor.

    Now he's been reborn as Optimus Prime in the Transformers Prime universe — but not the calm, philosophical, speech-giving Optimus that this universe is used to. No, Marcus brought the Bayverse with him. The combat protocols. The ruthlessness. The sheer, unbridled willingness to tear a Decepticon apart with his bare hands and feel absolutely nothing about it afterward. Oh, and enough hidden weapons to make the entire United States military file for early retirement — swords, axes, guns, missile launchers, energon hooks, rotary cannons, a jet pack, and a chest-mounted particle beam cannon that he hasn't even used yet because he's "saving it for something special."

    Summary

    Hot Rod wonders if he's cursed by something he did in a previous life. Normal mechs don’t have to deal with the slag he gets put through—namely getting stranded on a Quintesson-occupied planet with no means of contacting home, encountering strange, mutilated Cybertronians seemingly built just to kill Quints, and being ordered to babysit said strange, mutilated Cybertronians.

    All of this is to say that everything currently wrong with Hot Rod’s life can be attributed to the stray that followed him home: one maybe-empurata victim calling himself “Thunderclash”.

    -

    Before the Kaiju came to Earth, Thunderclash used to dream of being an astronaut, and after the longest two decades of his life, his boyhood dream has somehow come to fruition.

    Sure, it’s been a bit more fraught than he’d imagined as a kid—what with him piloting a mecha instead of a rocket, helping giant robotic aliens fight off Kaiju, and dealing with a language barrier that has resulted in said aliens mistaking him for being one of them—but Thunderclash wouldn't give it up for the world.

    Besides, with Hot Rod guiding him through these unfamiliar stars, Thunderclash thinks that everything'll turn out fine.

    Summary

    Rodimus would know if he interfaced with anyone, okay. He knows he didn't, but that doesn't change the fact that there's a sparkling growing in him. He knows how, but he doesn't want to think about it and that's not healthy, but whatever. He's just so sick of everyone laughing at him and arguing with him and judging him and - he'll deal with it himself.

    aka, Rodimus gets sparked, knows he hasn't interfaced, but knows who the sire is and is so so so sick of people judging him for choices he couldn't make. Even as the sparkling refuses to come out. And even when he does, Rodimus' shameful secret gets out too

    Summary

    Marcus Chen was a twenty-seven-year-old barista from Burbank, California, with a Bayverse Optimus Prime tattoo, a shelf full of Studio Series figures, and a passionate Reddit presence dedicated to defending the thesis that Bayverse Prime wasn't out of character—he was just a guy who'd been fighting the same war for four million years and was done with everything.

    Then he got hit by a truck. A regular truck. Not even a Transformer. Zero out of ten.

    Now he's woken up as Optimus Prime in the IDW Comics universe—except he looks, sounds, fights, and acts exactly like Bayverse Optimus Prime, complete with face-ripping combat doctrine, retractable Energon blades, a war axe the size of a sedan, and the emotional disposition of a cosmically exhausted warrior who has been extending olive branches for four million years only to have them repeatedly stabbed into his spark chamber.

    Armed with the complete knowledge of every IDW comic ever published—and a very strong list of complaints about them—Marcus-now-Optimus sets out to fix everything the comics got wrong. Prowl's secret black ops? Shut down publicly and brutally. Elita-1's incompetent command? Stripped and reassigned to serve under Windblade
