Glad you liked them, and the last one, while a bit sad/whatever, I did enjoy writing. :)

:) I love the fics where Simmons isn't just, as you said, the bad guy, the aft, or the comic relief, for two reasons. One, because I do think that he's a good guy. A little bit insane, and a lot deluded, but... he really does want what's best for humanity. Had he not ordered the Autobots captured (in his defense, the only experiences he'd had with Cybertronians were Megatron and the little bots, who did seem rather cruel/vicious from what little we saw. Not to mention Bumblebee peed on him (or pretended to)), I do think he could have been one of the supporting human hero rolls in the movie, like he was in the third and sorta was in the second.

Not to mention, the best way to make a villain is to make sure he has a human side, the side that the reader can relate to. because that means there's hope for redemption; they aren't all that bad, after all! And it makes it that much worse and that much better when they're still bad, when they still do the wrong thing

Yeah, Prompt 2 helped me finish "When Wise Mechs are Banished." If we're lucky, the bunny will come back and I'll write a sequel to this story's sequel. :) Woot! A trilogy! ^.^

Haha... He is indeed. :) But the best villains always have a "human" side. Not to mention that Simmons... well, had he been given the right information and the chance, he could have been a good guy in the first movie. :)

Optimus/Megatron is, I think, an interesting pairing, especially when you take into account the whole "Prime/Lord High Protector" thing that is thrown around every now and then. Of course, I do always/usually put Optimus with Elita, and one of these days I'm going to do a story with Op/Elita/Megatron (because wouldn't those dynamics be interesting to explore!), but... Yeah. I'm in on the Prowl/Jazz thing too. :) They do seem cliche if not done correctly, but done right... they are an extremely interesting couple. :)

And go ahead! :) If you want more "animals" or whatever to use in insults, go here. :) And send me the link to whatever you

Sequals are usually good

Same here. Some sequels are good, some bad, and books are a completely different thing from movies
