Question. given the importance of the issue, after his bluff was called, would Smokescreen have taken out the humans? I doubt he would have let them pass. Then again I'm moe of a comics fan, where the Autobots didn't always bow to humans and their orders, as they most often did in the comics
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice techtalk about space-bridges and 'warping!!
[Ironhide to Prime. A miracle's just happened.] and [He must be. He's so spooked he's forgotten to declare himself leader.] Heeeeeeeee^^ Also, I like how SENSIBLE Screamer is being. He knows, sort of, what's up and thus it's time to cut losses and haul tailfins outta there.
I love Cosmos and blast Off! Cut off from everyone, not enough fuel to get away so... afte a check that the cat really is away... let's play I-spy. I wonder if they played that until the skies below cleared...
Nice jump in events, and I like how bad in condition the Decepticons are (Thunder sure has bad luck with this... Mayhaps he, like TC2, would have become the seekers that get kicked out in the movie, as the voices don't fit the 'real' Thunder or Warp?
Annnnnd Soundwave's back and helping the Decepticons again. It isn't entirly clear what the Maurader was, would that have been elaborated on before this fight scene?
Hmmm, Soundwave can suddenly read Starscream and Megatron's thoughts? I thought the earlier works of Landwaster said that Soundwave could no longer read their thoughts?
I like the memory share overall (although you're right it doesn't quite fit with Aeon Dreamers) Although Megatron is a bit... uber. I love the guy and he is a powerhouse but... he seems almost Galvatron powerful here?
Again, I like how you delve into transporting and how your brought in Cybertron being in Earth's orbit in the list of referances.
Ah, I see now! Alright, Soundwave's uber hearing from before now makes more sense. I like the idea of him being audio domiant instead of optic. Very nice
And... ah, NOW the Marauders make more sense, also, they work very well visually ^^
*raises hand* I'd vote in favor of the con ship from 'MtMtE' as opposed to the carrier, if only because my naval training goes OUCH when thinking of a gov't GIVING a carrier to anyone, that's a LOT of money that was just handed off. (Maybe hitch a ride on the Joe's souped up Carrier? The Flagg was stated to be far faster than an average carrier)
Has to be byakhees, Nightgaunts dislike or are unable to fly over bodies of water if I remember my mythos correctly. Hmmm, maybe Megatron went with Starscream to be a more imposing figure to the Autobots and thus help insure more time spent going to help his Decpeticons and less time blustering with Starscream? Also, nice way of showing the sheer numbers of the situation involved and letting the Autobots have a fairly cool moment as well.
I like the astringint as opposed to using water, which supposidly was all but unknown on Cybertron. Also I love 'Prime allowed himself a tinge of amusement as the Decepticon sent Sideswipe back twice.' YEP, that's Siders.
Hmmm, I'm not sure of Megatron's dislike of the Matrix, however it does work overall, although I'm surprised that Megatron implies that it is not powerful in an of itself, given the power the Matrix throws around, and that if he's guardian, he saw Prima using it (Also, green? So it's the creation Matrix not the movie Blue Matrix?)
Hmmm, not sure if I like the 'I'm a martyr' sequence all that much. while it gives a nice argument between Optimus and Megatron, both feel slightly out of character (Megatron more so) and I do believe you were right in thinking that the length of time spent chatting on the carrier about things not related to, y'know the world dooming them all ^^, is slowing the plot overall.
Also, I must wince a bit on the 'Cons rule and bots drool' segment, just as i wince when I see the opposite in Bot based fics. The two factions MUST be equal for the most part, given that the war has to all apperences been a stalemate for as long as it has. I do like the referance to how 'odd' the Cons act when over-energized, also I continue to love your poetic style of writing^^
Cthulhu!! squeee!! prt3
