Unfinished Fics: The Banner of the Landwaster - In Darkness Spawned
In Darkness Spawned
Sidewinder unwittingly lets the mutants out of the Underworld. Megatron, Motormaster, Dreadmoon and Astrotrain try to put them back, the Autobots get involved, and the mutants aren't even the worst things down there.

Stunticons have forcefields, also, which is a point in Motormaster's favour.

I am really curious to see what a Starscream with a Megatron-personality-overlay would be like. As you have said, they really complement each other, with Starscream going for short-term sure bets and Megatron playing a longer, riskier game, so the resulting cross would be rather frightful, I think, able to play both the long and the short game.

Megatron's speech to Sidewinder is oddly inspiring and moving.

I actually felt really happy for Sidewinder getting his stuff back together.

And yes! Yay for noticing that Megatron and Xaaron both have weirdly similar helmet things going on. (But then, Xaaron's design is pretty blatantly based on Gold Shirt Megatron, which has all kinds of interesting implications.)

You making Motormaster blind if kind of odd, because I've seen someone else do the same thing. Is this a kind of pan-fanon thing, like Jazz-blind?

Also, weirdly, I have an unfinished booting around that involves Motormaster and Astrptrain (and a whole lot of other people) getting stuck underground in tunnels, fighting weird monsters. (But they were fighting the Monstercons, not Mutants.)

Motormaster driving into a pothole is just what would happen to a young truck used to the relatively nice roads of Cybertron.

Astrotrain does have a desire for power that pops up in The God Gambit and that Triple Threat episode, so him desiring to manipulate the chaos makes good sense to me. That, and his write-up says that he enjoys causing chaos.

The theme of blindness is kind of neat, if alcohol-coma-inducing.

Why doesn't Sidewinder want to be a Triple-Changer?

"the psionic disciplines of the Emirate" - this intrigues me.

Primus is the god of Decepticons also.

I wish people would remember this.
