Team Prime's Lovable Blue Idiot

PSA: Burnout

Inside the imposing Decepticon war vessel, the Nemesis, the camera flickers to life, revealing Starscream and Knockout standing confidently before the audience.

"Greetings, humans! I am Lord Starscream, from Wattpad Fanfic Red vs Blue and Transformers Prime Crossover: Team Prime's Lovable Blue Idiot!" he announces with flair before muttering under his breath, "...by Vos, what a mouthful..."

"And I am Knockout, equally fabulous and also from that Red vs. Blue and Transformers mashup," Knockout adds with a charming smirk, but their moment is interrupted by the hurried sounds of chaos in the background. Ratchet and Doc rush past, their conversation a blur of urgency.

"Hey! We need more energon over here!" Ratchet calls out, juggling a few cubes of energon as he barrels past.

Knockout clears his throat, a hint of discomfort in his voice as he motions for the audience to focus on him. "If you could kindly shift your attention away from the frantic Autobots and their entourage, they're currently busy setting up for chapter 14," he explains with an air of mock seriousness.

"...and frankly, it's taking forever," Starscream chimes in, rolling his optics.

The Autobots and the Blood Gulch Crew stood gathered, glancing down at a thoroughly burned-out Battle Droid sprawled on his bed, looking utterly drained and devoid of motivation.

"{Okay, buddy, you've got a 5,000-word draft of Chapter 13 just waiting for you. Come on—let's wrap it up!}" Bumblebee urged, his mechanical voice filled with enthusiasm.

"Can't..." BattleDroid1106 mumbled, his voice heavy with fatigue. "I'm just too unmotivated right now."

"{Come on!}" Bumblebee shot back, throwing his hands into the air dramatically. "{You've left the story hanging! What about the Blues and Reds? The Meta? Felix? There are countless mysteries that need resolving! The readers are on the edge of their seats!}"

With a muffled groan, BD1106 shifted under his blanket, his eyes half-opening. "...I know..."

"It's been what, three years since the last update? And I see you coming up with new stories and ideas every week!" Bulkhead exclaimed, shaking his head. "You started writing this PSA just to avoid finishing TPBLI and Fallen Huntsman!"

"Yeah! Come on, BD! Get back to the story!" Donut cheered, his enthusiasm infectious.

Turning slightly, BD1106 faced them, his expression one of reluctant surrender. "...I would..."

"So you'll continue the story?!" Miko's eyes sparkled with hope, her excitement palpable.

"I might..." BD1106 replied, a glimmer of uncertainty in his voice.

"Then just write Chapter 13! You're already writing this PSA about burnout—it's only fair to work on Chapter 14 too!" Miko exclaimed passionately. The rest of the Autobots, alongside the Reds and Blues, chimed in, voicing their agreement with her spirited plea, but BD1106 simply buried his face deeper into the pillow.

"Maybe later..." he sighed, the weight of the world seeming to rest on his small chassis.

The group, minus Optimus, collectively groaned in disappointment, their spirits dimming as they realized they weren't going to get the adventure they craved anytime soon.

""Are you serious, author?" Carolina's voice cut through the room, sharp and motherly, like a reprimand to a wayward child. "You've churned out new stories featuring Team Fortress 2 and even mixed Dragon Ball with Star Wars, yet here we are—no Chapter 13?"

"Mmm, I'm not really feeling it," BD1106 murmured, his voice muffled against his pillow.

Before Carolina could launch into another lecture, Optimus knelt beside him, a serene presence. "Allow me to step in, Ms. Carolina," he offered gently.
