Pom-Poms and Power Plays.

In Pom-Poms and Power Plays, the spotlight shifts from the battlefield to the high-pressure world of Cybertron's most elite prep school-Obsidian Academy, where scholarships are everything, legacies weigh heavily, and perfection is demanded.

When Starscream Vail Izumi, a brilliant yet reserved med student of noble Seeker heritage, discovers that Obsidian Academy has no gymnastics team, their only chance to keep the scholarship lies in a surprising path: cheerleading tryouts. With their poised elegance, unmatched flexibility, and command of presence, Starscream must navigate pom routines, social politics, and razor-sharp judgment-all while keeping their dignity, secrets, and skirt unwrinkled.

Meanwhile, Maze Izan, the academy's top engineering student and Starscream's quietly possessive best friend, must face his own challenge: trying out for the Cube Ball team. Known as "Inspector" for his calculating mind and deadly precision, Maze finds himself toe-to-toe with the best players in the school-many of whom aren't ready to welcome a new competitor with cold eyes and sharper skills.

As Starscream and Maze push through trials, old rivalries, and uncertain alliances, their bond is tested in unexpected ways. With Megatron and Optimus leading rival factions, and school spirit laced with as much tension as affection, Pom-Poms and Power Plays is a story of loyalty, transformation, and proving that sometimes, the most powerful moves happen off the field. also Maze is my steve I just turned him into a seeker named him Maze.
