Seeing Past the Sigil by kidu
Rated: G •
Summary: A Quintesson trap sends Strafe, Lightspeed, Cyclonus and Scourge into Cybertron's distant history. And if there aren't any Decepticons around to harbor Cyclonus until he can return... well, he'll just have to convert someone!

"You're talking to my chest again" ....Best line in a TF fic ever.
On the whole, I really liked this. I alway like time travel stories, particularly when the travelers become an active part of history, as in War Dawn and Forever is a Long Time Coming.
On the other hand... Cyclonus feels mixed in this, much more emotional than I'd normally expect of him, but the "side of someone we don't normally get to see" is a fic standard, so I'll gladly accept it, as it makes him even more well rounded a character.
Now... as to Beta. This is where I'm gonna have to disagree. Not that we see much of her, but I'd say she's an Autobot true and blue and throug, mostly because I say a protective instinct is hardwired into Autobots, and that creates everything else about their basic philosophies. To have been created one means that's a part of her too. But... that's imposing a bit too much of my own views on your fic-verse, so I'll forgive it, as it was still very intriquing and interesting.
So That He May Have Mercy by Starhorse
Rated: G • Summary: Sunstreaker's violent nature finally earns him a court martial, and what he finds at his trial leaves him a bit shaken. Features Jazz and Sunstreaker.
Date: 15/10/03 Title: Chapter 1: So That He May Have Mercy
Holy freakin' cheese! Man, Horsey, I might not like Sunny that much, but this made me feel for him... and fear him. ...I have no words for how good this is.
The Die Long Cast by Merytneith
Rated: G • Summary: The intertwining origins of six G1 Transformers, and how each was cast into his ultimate destiny as either Autobot or Decepticon by the actions of the seventh character. Featured: Windcharger, Frenzy, Mirage, Starscream, Trailbreaker, Quake... and the on
Date: 11/11/03 Title: Chapter 1: The Die Long Cast
This was good... but not great. Each individual story has a lot of potential, but, I do not think they weave together particularly well. Also, I think that each has the potnential to be a story of greater length in and of itself. And, and I know its a stylistic thing, and that it differs for each writer, but the reference to Mirage's mother grates on me, as, even without the notion of TFs having kids, them adopting such relationship qualifiers seems... iffy to me. This has much potential, but ...I think its reaching too far.
Ride the Ride by Liana_Bluestar
Rated: G • Summary: Frenzy learns a thing or two about himself after he's captured by Autobots.
Transformers Fanfic by Charl
Rated: G • 
Summary: What are the features of Transformers fanfic and what kind of person writes it?
Date: 15/10/03 Title: Chapter 1: Transformers Fanfic
Wow. Just... wow. Very impressive, very well researched, well expressed, and very insightful.
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: 24/02/03 Title: Chapter 1: Dolly Doesn't Want to Play
Overall, really good and interesting, even if I really don't agree with some of the points raised.
Collateral Damage by PrincessArtemis
Rated: G • Summary: The first day awake for the second wave of Autobots ends up being a deadly one for a few humans caught in the crossfire.
Date: 24/02/03 Title: Chapter 1: Collateral Damage
Extremely good, especially as I got to see this be worked and grow over time. You've definitely got a knack for Percy's voice and Wheeljack too! Bravo Princess!
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: 24/02/03 Title: Chapter 1: Cyclonus's Report
About time this series picked up again! You really need to be writing for the show! Looking forward to seeing more of your interpretation!
Date: 15/10/03 Title: None
An extremely insightful look at the little red guy, Rap. One I'd never even thought of. Good work!
An Odd Little Lament by Liana_Bluestar
Rated: G • Summary: An old warrior reflects on the changes of war. **Readers can guess as to who the speaker is**
Date: 01/05/03 Title: Chapter 1: An Odd Little Lament
Cute nice, Li! Course, I already know who it is, but it made me think of a few different people, including a couple you wouldn't be so happy about... But ya did good!
Countermoves by Stormy
Rated: G • Summary: Punch (or is he Counterpunch?) must decide where his true loyalties lie.
Date: 27/05/03 Title: Chapter 1: Countermoves
Very interesting, if a completely different take than my own. I'm quite certain that Punch is the true self of the famed Double-Spy, though I'd also say he has a case of Multiple Personality Disorder. Anyway, I'm rambling, but I like this, even if I don't agree with it.
I Will Take Care of You by Liana_Bluestar
Rated: G • Summary: Tragedy strikes Soundwave and the cassettes. ~Author's note: This is a Legends' Children story but, upon reading it over, it also makes a very good Season 3 story so here it is.
Date: 22/06/03 Title: Chapter 1: I Will Take Care of You
Very nice, Li! Very sad too... you definitely have the characterizations of Rumble and Frenzy down and an excellent grasp of Sounders.
Postscript by Scott_Kampa
Rated: G • Summary: It's Gears in the rain. After the attack on Autobot City. Trying to be strong.
Date: 11/09/03 Title: Chapter 1: Postscript
To borrow a phrase, "You've got the touch!" Scott. I am in awe.
Living Without by Liana_Bluestar
Rated: G • Summary: We take many people for granted, not truly realizing how much they mean to us until they're gone.
Date: 08/10/03 Title: Chapter 1: Living Without
Goodness but this is depressing. Bravo, Ms. Bluestar, bravo!
Life of a Soldier by Lunatron_Insecticon
Rated: G • Summary: A look into the life of a common Decepticon.
Date: 14/10/03 Title: Chapter 1: Life of a Soldier
An excellent look at what was otherwise a throw-away character, Luna. A great little narrative and very insightful into post-Prime and Megatron Cybertron.
But They Might Hope by Starhorse
Rated: G • Summary: Prowl and Sideswipe are either contestants in the Snark-o-lympics, or they're busy waiting for Godot. You decide.
Date: 16/10/03 Title: Chapter 1: But They Might Hope
I've comment on how insightful this is before... But I do have two questions. 1)Lamborghini senses?! 2) Uh... can't Sideswipe fly? He's got a rocket-pack.
Autobotimal Planet by Starhorse
Rated: G • Summary: What happens when Animal Planet and the Autobots collide? Bad, bad fiction.
Date: 16/10/03 Title: Chapter 1: Autobotimal Planet
This was... bizare beyond words. Hysterical, but ....*goes into a snicker fit*
Blue 42 by Starhorse
Rated: G • Summary: The Autobots play football, (but not by choice), while Dead End hurls morbid rants at the nearest woodland creature. Moral of the story? Prowl is meaner than yo mama.
Date: 05/04/04 Title: Chapter 1: Blue 42
Oh Primus... This is one of the funniest things ever. You, Starhorse, are a master of all things Prowl.
Parallels by Jazz
Rated: G • Summary: The Autobots get ready as the situation heats up and the leader of the Decepticons is revealed, but not all is as it seems.
Date: 01/04/04 Title: Chapter 1: Parallels
Nice to see Universe is starting to get its share of fics! Some really good stuff, especially in the interaction between the Autobots, RiD Autobots, and Maximals. One thing to watch out for though, is the blending of the various Gen.1/Gen.2 continuity bits. You mention both Slag and Slingshot being dead, as from the Gen.2 comic, but they both show up later on it the fic. Not especially distracting, but something to keep a closer eye on.
Date: 02/09/04 Title: Chapter 1: Fembot Got Rack!
Oh, you, my friends, are not right. You are delightful! Not to mention funny as heck!
