Title: Ranks
Fiction Rating: K
Summary: He generally admired his higher ups, but there was another type of hero.
Nobody understood. Nobody even tried. Was he crazy to want this adventure? Was he crazy to try and make a change in the world when he wasn't in the proper position too?
But Optimus never really understood ranks anyway. Well, not true, he understood them halfway. He could see the need for order, but what good could come from limiting the good a bot could do?
He respected soldiers. They frequently put their lives on the line. But he admired when somebody did the right thing without it being their job.
Did anybody else still have hope in unassigned heroes?

Title: We
Fiction Rating: K+
Warnings: Spoilers for the episode "Mars"
Summary: It's amazing how few words it takes to make you insecure.
“We autobots...”
Please don't let him say anything.
He had never wanted to erase anything he had said so much.
Please let him not have even have noticed.
Two words. Two slagging words! How could two words cause so much trouble? Actually, it was one really. “We” entails including yourself, which entails being part of their group, which entails you starting to turn into one of them whether you meant to or not.
If he did notice, please let him shut up about it.
Those words were big trouble, yet they were the only honest words he'd said in forever.

Title: Serious
Fiction Rating: K+
Warnings: Spoilers for the movie.
Summary: But now he had to be somebody totally different. The glitter didn't do much to help.
Okay, so being the bot who could activate the Matrix was really cool. We would admit that. Being chosen by it as the new Autobot leader? Also really cool.
But there was more to leadership than the glitter and the fame. It was a serious job, for serious bots, which he was not. He was the carefree bot. Rodimus Prime? Even his new name sounded uptight to him.
Yes, he understood the Matrix had chosen him, and the Matrix (hopefully) knew what it was doing, but he was really going to have to keep tabs on himself from now on.

Title: Question
Fiction Rating: K
Warnings: Fistful of Energon spoilers
Summary: Bumblebee was being empathetic. Prowl almost fried his logic circuit.
“I heard about what happened. Do you wanna talk about it?”
Prowl almost fried a logic circuit when he realized who had asked him that. Bumblebee was actually being empathetic.
But when he thought about the events of the day; the upgrades, his behavior, it made sense as much as he hated to admit it.
“I wish to be left alone,” was the reply.
“Okay,” said the speedster and he sadly headed back towards the door.
“...But I appreciate the concern,” and two smiles lightened up the atmosphere.
Prowl had almost forgotten there was a good side to younger brothers.
