Title:
Giants of the Earth, Chapter 12 Author: hopeofdawn
Rating: PG-13 (may go up in future chapters)
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse
Characters/Pairing: this chapter--Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Prowl, Bumblebee, Jazz, Sam Witwicky, the Giant, Hogarth Hughes and many, many other ensemble characters.
Warnings/Notes:Takes place after DOTM, with minor tweaks to movieverse events/characters (so there are minor spoilers for the third movie). Most of the characterizations will be taken more from G1--especially Optimus, who is *not* the 'kill 'em all, let Primus sort 'em out' character he is in the movies. Most of the onscreen 'deaths' of Decepticons and Autobots have also fallen victim to authorial override--see the fic for details. :) Many thanks also go to Fractalserpent and
White Aster, as always, for their hard work beta-ing this, extraneous dashes and all! Warnings this chapter for typical battlefield violence.
Bumblebee ducked under the swing of an energon blade, hammering a closed fist into a vulnerable join in the Decepticon frontliner’s thorax. Armor crumpled under the blow, hampering the jointed struts underneath, and he followed it up with a point-blank blast from his cannon even as he kicked his opponent away.
