What an awesome start! I love the premise, style, characterizations, all of it! Can't wait for more.

Really neat start! I'm looking forward to how you go forward with your ideas!

Thanks! I was actually pretty inspired what with the frequency you write, and with so much sort of continuations in one of your own head cannons, I thought that would be a good approach. So thank you.

Woo, you return to the writing world! xD *confettis*

Had temporary confusion over what universe this takes place in, but WOW, looking forward to more of this! So tense with the hiding, it was..!

*sits back with popcorn*

Oh poop, I'll put that up next time I go through. It's a mash up of IDW, G1 and Au'd.

/THRASHING AND SCREECHING

Oh my god. I am so scared for Hot Rod. That is just... utterly terrifying. I'm not even terribly worried he'll be harmed? Just plain scared. D:

He's pretty scared too. And no, he won't be hurt, strictly speaking, but psychologically is another matter, whether that's the new systems's intent or not. He's about to lose everything he knows.

I'm glad for you that you could finally get started with this project. You've been drawing mostly lately, and not written anything in quite a while, and I'm sure you missed it. I know more than anyone how easy it is to get psyched out by starting a grand new complicated plot, so just creating a universe in which you can dip in and out with small stories as you please is a good idea. It'll make switching around easier, if you want to focus on other characters, or even flip back and forth between Autobots and Decepticons ( ... )

Thank you! It does feel really, really good to write again. Drawing is always more cathartic, but I like to share my brain-fanon too.

I am flattered to know this brought you to near tears! Things will be getting much, much worse for Hot Rod down the line, I'm sorry to say. The reasons for tracking down wayward Cybertronians will come up too, because you are correct- why bother with all these scattered souls unless they attack?

There's a reason for taking them in and finding them, and while I know it will not make you any happier with them, it was a negotiation of sorts.

then it's okay to attack him, tag him and bag him as if he were an animal, and then give him as a slave to someone who does agree with you.The closing line up there has less to do with thinking of autobots as animals, then it does the sort of tired detachment people get from doing a tedious job for weeks (not an excuse, but that's where it's coming from). Obviously that does not excuse anyone's actions ( ... )
