Oh goooooooooooosh so much delicious worldbuilding! It's one of the most tantalizing parts of Primeverse and the part they like...never really seem to touch. This is fantastic!!!

ETA: also, tags added

o^_^o Thank you! OMG yes! They called the series PRIME and then...kind of wandered off? After giving us a few more hints about the Thirteen? And next season will be short and about dragons? Which is fine, I guess...looking forward to seeing Sinnertwin-I-mean-Twinstrike in motion...

But...to be brought to life, the first of your kind, in order to defeat Unicron primarily, and they'd have their programming, but how much did Primus talk to them? And what does Primus know about being small, mobile and multiple? Getting along and keeping your hands to yourself, Megatronus! It's basically kindergarten with giant robots sporting weapons of fiendish death and destruction. There's just SO MUCH there! And no one's playing with it????? o.O

Aaaaand also, oops sorry about the tags! o.o;

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE so beautiful! With a little bit of sad, that they probably won't see one another again, all scattering. Solus is THE AWESOME :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD \o/
Those durned makers of fragmentation, lol. But of course! Hee!
Vector gets his solar wings, w00t!

n_n <3 Thankee! Solus = Brigid + science! + robots! = <3333333
Heehee!
:DDD

Oh, I just love Solus, and love her even more being alive! Such a touch of sadness -- a bittersweet goodbye. And love that she names her creations, or they tell her their names. Even better. Very nice solar wings. So much potential with those 13 <3333

The truth behind legends isn't always anything like the legends themselves. Besides, fridging a Prime? Not on. =_=
I wrote this really fast - for me - and I'm already getting kinda attached. I might really like Solus a lot. Great cosmic tinkerer. Wheeljack's spiritual mommy - if TFP Jack was G1 Jack, anyway... Brigid-aspect/equivalent. Hmm. And Feb 2 is Brigid's day, so it was an appropriate venture. :D
Thank you!
Yeah, as niyazi_a points out, there's so much that could be done, and hasn't been... Terrific scope for us ficcers, then. ;D

Okay, that does it I need a Solus icon.

Yaaaay! Thank you!

Hey, they're the first people. Gotta make up their own swear words. XD

This is lovely; there's so much detail in it! Solus is kind of adorable in a distracted, slightly cranky way. Oh, yes, you're in the future, you're not dead, and hold still while I finish completely reworking your body, 'kay?

I don't know the source material at all -- my knowledge of Vector is entirely from Borealis -- and yet this works. You've put in enough of the background to follow (omg, making up your own profanity -- hee!) and get an emotional connection.

Thank you! She deserves a lot more fic, which I'd be happy to have a go at if I could come up with suitably quirky things for her to encounter and fiddle with... ;D

The source material on the Original Thirteen is pretty sparse. You aren't missing much. Lots of room to faff around in! \o/
