Thank youuuuuuuu! ^_^ Until something replaces it, I'm totally considering this my Transformers Magnum Opus.

I swear as I was watching AOE I noticed so many parallels (like Hound and Drift showing up for example.) and it really feels like AOE is what could have happened if Ratchet hadn't left in WWE like he did

I kinda felt like if I commented, then it would truly be the end of this series. But I know there will be side stories, and more future fic, so I mustered up the courage to say write something

Sunstreaker broke my heart left and right with this series. And part of the fun I had with this was drawing the parallels between Mega/Op and Sides/Sunny, along with exploring that difference in experiences for Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. They were very relevant to the storyline, especially toward the end when Optimus was just nuts enough to see Megatron in Sunstreaker. If the Twins hadn't left, I do think Optimus would have eventually killed Sunstreaker.

I'm thinking I'm definitely going to write a side piece about that laboratory. It's basically where Sideswipe was for a good portion of the war, before escaping and finding his way to Earth. That shuttle he was on with Arcee? Either crash-landed or was captured and delivered to Shockwave's laboratory...

Loose ends will definitely need to be tied up and I hope to tackle them one by one...

Thank you!
