In the aftermath of Season 3 of Transformers: Animated, Megatron was put on trial and sentenced to life in prison before he and his Decepticons escape with the Minicons under their mind-control. Then Optimus Prime and the Autobots pursue Megatron as he escapes from Trypticon Prison with his Decepticons. Eventually, as our heroes and villains return to Earth, a new character is introduced. Orion Eclipse, a forgotten Decepticon, joins the Autobots and faces a shocking truth about his past as the battle for the Allspark Matrix unfolds. In this fanfic of mine, "Transformers: Animated - Shadows of Redemption," Optimus Prime and his friends both old and new must navigate a treacherous path filled with self-discovery, forgiveness, and the unyielding pursuit of justice. Bonds are tested, alliances are forged, and the fate of the universe hangs in the balance as Optimus Prime and his allies strive to thwart Megatron's sinister plot and protect the Matrix from falling into the wrong hands. Amidst the clash of metal and the clash of loyalties, the concept of redemption takes center stage, reminding us that even amidst darkness, the light of hope can guide the way.

Unknown Territory (TFP)
"One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it."- Master Oogway --- ~ BOOK 1 OF THE LIGHTBLADE SERIES Fate sometimes leads us to various circumstances ,be it for the better or worst. At least, that's what Lightblade tries to comfort herself with as she faces different challenging scenarios. Gentle and kind, one would have mistaken her for an Autobot, but ironically fate placed her on the wrong side of war, the Decepticons. Once again fate decides to surprise Ioa with encountering the Autobots, though not in the way she would want it. -------------------- Cover art by Dai-XT on Pixiv I do not own Transformers Prime, only the story and my OCs.

BRAINWASHED || BATTLE CRY (Transformers Prime)
"His mind and body will crumble until there is nothing left but a former husk, and then I will build. I will give him everything you so selfishly denied him; his spark will be enlightened, and then he will become a true Decepticon." ___ "And just as I did with him, you will be broken." "Never." "I guarantee it." ___ Jack stayed behind to retrieve the data stick from the Nemesis database, hoping to give the Autobots the edge they need to collect relics of mass destruction and keep them out of Decepticon hands. He was nearly cornered and dissected by Knock Out, but Ratchet came to his rescue, ready to retreat when they are stopped in their tracks by Megatron. Captured and held prisoner aboard the very ship they had saved, Ratchet and Jack must work together to resist the torture inflicted upon them by the Decepticons. As the Autobots work to get their friends back, Megatron begins to utilize twisted tactics and sick mind games in order to break their wills. If there is one thing the warlord is, it is persistent; and he will have his victory. Rated Mature for graphic (physical, mental, emotional) violence and dark themes. [NOTE: This is a dual-story, meaning the first and second are all put together in one work; this means BATTLE CRY is the sequel to BRAINWASHED, and there will not be a third book. Thank you all for reading.]Complete
