Branded (A Transformers Fanfiction)

Dropwire has long been a mercenary. Since 20 cycles ago, that is. Compared to his team, he's pretty much still an infant, and they treat him accordingly. Having grown tired of being ridiculed for his size and infancy on the war-bound planet of Cybertron, Dropwire sets out on his own, no team, no backup. It is there he meets the Decepticons, the very enemies of the infamous Autobots and their fearless leader, Optimus Prime. Having not chosen a side since the exodus of the war, Dropwire fully intends to keep it that way.

But the Decepticons will live in unrest until they recruit this solo mercenary, who is vulnerable without backup. And when the Autobots get wind of a neutral sided bogey, they begin the search for the elusive rebel.
