Prometheus by Rob_Jung
Rated: G •
Summary: A group of humans petition for the release of Cybertronian technology to help solve Earth's problems, and Megatron sees an opportunity to be exploited.
Date: 07/01/03 Title: Chapter 1: Prometheus
Nothing against you, Rob, but the sequence at the end with Cooper being pumped by the government for the data ruined the flow of the story.
Decoy by Dave_Van_Domelen
Rated: G • Summary: An interesting theory about Beast Wars Megatron's true identity.
Death's Lessons by Nightwind
Rated: G • 
Summary: Ratchet rages against the injustice of war, as he watches a young girl he is unable to save.
Date: 18/08/03 Title: Chapter 1: Death's Lessons
Despite the overtones of what was happening, I found it almost a little bland in areas. I hate to say this but at times it almost looked like the base idea was taken from some old eps of MASH rather than TF.
Upon Further Review: Generation One Season Three by Scott_Kampa
Rated: G • Summary: Scott Kampa defends the third season of Generation One cartoons.
Date: 10/12/02 Title: Chapter 1: Upon Further Review: Generation One Season Three
An intelligent look at a subject that many often ignore. Good work!
Date: 07/01/03 Title: Chapter 1: We Didn't Start The Newsgroup
I couldn't follow the beat after the first part.
Beast Machines: The Real Ending by Steven_Acevedo
Rated: G • Summary: What Steve believes should really have happened.
Date: 16/01/03 Title: Chapter 1: Beast Machines: The Real Ending
Believe it or not, this was the more likely ending. At least, from what little of the series I dared to see.
S And H by Dave_Van_Domelen
Rated: G • Summary: Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you. This tale is lighter in tone than the two above, and stars Defcon, a character who appeared in one episode of the cartoon.
Having A Life Outside Of Transformers by Steven_Acevedo
Rated: G • Summary: Is there life outside of the TV show, comic book and toyline. Here's how I view the whole matter when it comes to non-fans telling me or anyone else how we should be spending our lives.
Date: 28/02/03 Title: Chapter 1: Having A Life Outside Of Transformers
Now if only I could get my mom to read this. What's even worse than a TF-hater? An anime hater.
Date: 18/08/03 Title: Chapter 1: Boredom
Honestly, after reading it I felt that the flow was a little off-kilter. It's as if the story can't decide whether or not it's an essay or a work of fiction. Otherwise it would have been perfect.
Decisions by Neale_Davidson
Rated: G • Summary: The kids decide to find other minicons to hide them from the Autobots and Decepticons, but Cyclonus finds them instead.
Date: 10/07/03 Title: Chapter 1: Decisions
While having it in the format of a script does make it easier to read, personally I'd rather have it in the normal (paragraph) format.
To Be Guardians by Neale_Davidson
Rated: G • Summary: Desperate to claim the Street Action minicons, the Decepticons capture Carlos and Rad, forcing the Minicons to make a terrible choice - their freedom, for that of their human friends.
Date: 10/07/03 Title: Chapter 1: To Be Guardians
Methinks that I'm the only one who caught the 'Army of Darkness' references.....
Minicon Sale by Neale_Davidson
Rated: G • Summary: Someone's been selling advanced weaponry in the Columbian drug wars, so the Autobots and Decepticons think that maybe, just maybe, there may be a rogue Minicon involved.
Date: 11/07/03 Title: Chapter 1: Minicon Sale
It feels as if, compared to the first four parts of the series, this one was a little rushed in the creation. There were also a few technical glitches (spacing issues, wording) that detracted from it.
Legends and Artifacts - I by Neale_Davidson
Rated: G • Summary: Having nightmares of the past, Rad is coming to grips with a new sense of identity, a fact not lost on his father, or the military organization that he works for. Rad's father seems to know more about the Autobot-Decepticon conflict than he's let on, even
Date: 25/07/03 Title: Chapter 1: Legends and Artifacts - I
For once, there actually wasn't anything worth getting excited about.
Unlike Minds by Neale_Davidson
Rated: G • Summary: Sideways has been hired to steal the damaged Minicon pods from the Decepticon's base. But, when he hears how valuable they may be, he gets plans in mind of his own.
Date: 30/07/03 Title: Chapter 1: Unlike Minds
The typos and scripting glitches are getting to be a dissappointment.
Light of Justice, Flickering by Neale_Davidson
Rated: G • Summary: With the battle over for the moment, the Autobots and Humans lick their wounds and come to grips with the losses they've endured.
Date: 25/07/03 Title: Chapter 1: Light of Justice, Flickering
I almost hate to say this but this one was bordering on the bland. I really think that by putting it in the format of a script instead of as a normal story is making things too rigid.
Swashbuckling by Neale_Davidson
Rated: G • Summary: The Decepticons discover yet another Minicon team by accident. This time, though, the Air Defense team rush to the rescue, only to find that this team of Minicons don't really want to be rescued.
Date: 03/08/03 Title: Chapter 1: Swashbuckling
It takes some guts to pass off Princess Bride as being a part of Three Musketeers. However, I would appreciate it if the Acts were subdivided into Scenes for easier reading.
Fire in the Heavens - II by Neale_Davidson
Rated: G • Summary: Optimus Prime faces Jetfire in a deadly battle of revenge. Rad confronts the Minicons that plague his memories, but will he kill a defeated foe? All this, and Starscream is ready to make his move at last.
Date: 30/09/03 Title: Chapter 1: Fire in the Heavens - II
In this one, I saw a major scripting error (blending one person's action sequence right after another person is talking). In addition, the speed of some of the incidents (mainly with Rad and the Super Fire Convoy bit) were at best jerky due to how they were handled.
Legacy by Pitten
Rated: G • Summary: When you are bound by another's legacy, where do you place yourself in the grand scheme of the universe? A Megatron fic.
Date: 07/02/03 Title: Chapter 1: Legacy
Much better; not as forceful and with a much smoother progression to the epiphany.
Tell Me I Was Dreaming by Liana_Bluestar
Rated: G • Summary: The fight that sealed Ironhide and Chromia's relationship. What was it about?
Date: 30/12/03 Title: Chapter 1: Tell Me I Was Dreaming
Nice, lite, and simple.
Optimus Primal Goes To Hell by OptimalLioConvoy
Rated: G • Summary: So what happened to Optimus after he died? Will Hasbro snatch him away from the Matrix and make him endure a fate worse than death?
Date: 16/01/03 Title: Chapter 1: Optimus Primal Goes To Hell
I figured Beast Machines was a marketing ploy.
The Girl Who Loved Starscream by Negaprion
Rated: G • Summary: An injured Starscream is repaired by a mysterious woman who changes his outlook on life.
Date: 26/12/02 Title: Chapter 1: The Girl Who Loved Starscream
To put it simply, I feel that it could have stood another revision. The events seemed to just happen too quickly, for such a major awakening in a character. Had it been a minor awakening, or had there been a recommendation for something related (say, a song to listen to to get the proper mood), then it would have worked.
Date: 19/01/03 Title: Chapter 1: The Springer Show
Needs to be a little longer.
Dolly Doesn't Want to Play by Pitten
Rated: G • Summary: Following the death of Optimus Prime, Elita-One reflects on her life and makes a disturbing epiphany about the nature of relationship with the Autobot leader and society in general. Warning: Not a fluffy love story.
Date: 29/01/03 Title: Chapter 1: Dolly Doesn't Want to Play
Ibsen, eh? IMHO, the both of you tried way too hard. While your point is valid, the tone with which it was delivered would otherwise turn people off before they have finished reading. And yes, I did read A Doll's House exactly one year ago.
Hot Shot and Sideburn's Comparison and Contrast by Blurr322
Rated: G • Summary: An essay on the comparison on Armada's Hot Shot and RID's Sideburn.
Date: 08/02/03 Title: Chapter 1: Hot Shot and Sideburn's Comparison and Contrast
And your point was?
Cyclonus's Report by Neale_Davidson
Rated: G • Summary: With the situation on Earth getting desperate for the Decepticons, Cyclonus gives a report back to Cybertron, explaining the Minicon war, and his take on recent events.
Date: 03/10/03 Title: Chapter 1: Cyclonus's Report
The first two acts could have easily been told as a flashback sequence of some sort in a seperate work, most likely with Prime telling the kids what happened. This way, Cyclonus' report itself could have been focused almost entirely on what has been happening in your version of the storyline. This in turn would have allowed you to do a better summary job. In addition, it bugs me how you simply dropped in Overload, Final Battle Prime, Trion, and XXaron like they were little more than prop names.
