Title:
Giants of the Earth, Chapter 15 Author: hopeofdawn and fractalserpent
Rating: PG-13
Verse: Bayverse/movieverse
Characters/Pairing: this chapter--Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Skyfire, the Giant, Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Astrotrain, Beachcomber, Que and 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. :) No specific warnings this chapter.
Many thanks to White Aster who as always, is a consummate beta reader! :)
Thundercracker tilted his helm as Starscream's distinctive voice rose on a sharp screech of anger, answered by Ratchet's irate snap and a hatchling's distressed chitter. Thundercracker hoped his trinemate didn't deactivate the medic before he'd seen to all the hatchlings. Misfire, especially, had incorporated a number of substandard native parts that really should be removed and replaced. Cross-posted to
